Joneva "JoMo" Mowalt's Story

Joneva was definitely nervous. It almost winter break and she didn't know if the humans would make it until the end of the year. She also didn't know if it was going snow at all. The weather man said it was supposed to snow a weak ago and everyone was becoming anxious there wouldn't be snow for the winter formal. She wasn't going but she always loved to spend that night in the woods. Almost everyone else went so those who are regularly in the woods wouldn't be there, well most of them anyway, so she would have the woods mainly to herself. Currently she was at the edge waiting for class to start. She sat at an odd angle high up on a branch shielded from others sight by the leaves. She was suddenly thankful he mother was a Banshee, therefore she was aloud to stay high up in the trees and study her calculus while Ban, her black leopard, lounged on a branch next to her.

Alex returned to his office right after his meeting with the headmaster. He was informed that another student had gone missing this morning. Frustrated he began to worry for the humans he had gotten to know. He had already had one of them go missing, he didn't want anymore of them to go missing.The most recent to go missing was a the twin of a student of his. It was an unlikely happening. His student showed many indications of the Banshee in her but the boy that went missing was completely human. Suddenly his mind flickered to the banshee like girl. Would she know that her brother had gone missing. He had experienced her screams in his class before, were they for some of the humans that went missing. He struggled to think of the girls name. Then it hit him. Joneva Mowlat. A lot of the students called her screecher because they didn't understand why she would suddenly burst out screaming in the middle of a class or conversation, not that she had many of those. He sighed and then decided to get ready for his gym class that he had in twenty minutes.

Suddenly Jo found herself running to class. She new it wasn't a good idea to wait so long but she couldn't bring herself to leave the trees. She had scared some of the other late students when she fell from the sky, well the top of a tree. Everyone was staring at her and she thought it was simply because she was late. Then she felt the feeling. It was so sudden she bumped into a couple of people. She knew soon she would be screaming. Before she could make a b-line for the dorms she was on the ground screaming in pain. Behind her lids she merely saw red. She felt people touching her and there was a sudden cool on her ankle but she couldn't bring herself out of it. That's when she realized this was someone she came in contact with everyday. The pain just wouldn't go away, only increase.

As Kai neared the courtyard, the sound of screaming reached his ears as well. Without thinking, he picked up the pace, running to find the source. The puppy in his arms wiggled loose just as they hit the grass. Finding the source of the screaming was hardly difficult as the girl's volume was practically blood-curdling. Never-the-less, he ran to her side and dropped to his knees.

Alex heard from students that a girl had dropped to the ground screaming. After a bit of wandering he heard her then quickly found her. He hoped it wasn't the girl he was thinking of but was proved wrong once in sight of the girl. It was Joneva. He sighed and ran inside the circle. There was already a boy next to her but it didn't seem like he knew what he was doing. So Alex pulled out his phone and called one of the other teachers. It didn't take long for Lethe the god of silence to arrive and everything to go mute. Alex nodded at her once then began to pick up the girl. All the while the angel close behind.

Jo felt another hand touch Her. She felt this one stronger because she didn't know this person. She could already see how theu died. They would get bleed to death. She was used to the sound of her screams so when she no longer heard it it tricked her mind into thinking she was done. Then that caused the pain to go away. Once the pain was gone she was aware of what was going on and realized she was being carried by her gym teacher. She had an image of his heart shattered into a million little pieces in the back of her mind. That's how he would die. When she got set down in the nurses office she stood up again and ran from the room. She had never met the nurse and didn't plan on it. She quickly ran to her first class, Death 101.

(When Jonevva sees someone 'die' it can always change. There Is no guarantee they will fit that way.)

While her mind battled with a decision, it was picked for her. She watched as a young boy raced to the girls side. Lamora watched as he placed a hand on her but the young girl made no move as to indicate that she felt it. Something seemed familiar in the way the girl screamed, how everything seemed to have fallen away except her own reality. Lamora wanted to pursue that trail of thought but another boy... or, well, a man came and took care of the situation. Her ears popped before complete silence met her ears. A sigh left her lips and she smiled. She knew the silence was false. The girls mouth was wide in her scream and peoples mouths moved to speak. The world was on mute, if only for a moment. What a peculiar talent, she thought as she watched the man race across the court yard with the girl in arms. Not long later the boy followed in a rush.

It was his rush that had her coming back down to Earth. She looked down at the papers in her hands and shuffled through them again to look up what her first class would be. She knew she was going to be late and hated the thought of being stared at like an exhibition so she hurried along into the building. Scanning the numbers next to each door, looking for the correct class she rushed through the unfamiliar hallways.
