Lucy Kirkland's Story

Elizabeth breathed in deep. The first time she was actually going to make some nice---try to make some nice conversation with other supernatural beings. She breathed in deep once again, and started to walk towards the Academy, her luggage in hand. She didn't have much, but what she could find over the past year...And the school uniform.
Elizabeth's steps were slightly sluggish, her feet nearly scraping against the pavement as she had gone forward.
"You better not screw this up..."
She had muttered to herself, remembering the crumpled piece of paper which stated her dorm room. She took it out, and sighed.
"Room 235. God help me if I have roommates."

Lucy walked shyly with her backpack on her back. Her stomach was beginning to show at the end of her first trimester, and she felt very worried about this whole child thing.

Would Lucy turn out OK?

What about the baby?

How would Lucy continue her studies?

While all these things were on Lucy's mind, she bumped a girl, one with long red hair and eyes to match her hair. Quickly snapping out of her thoughts, Lucy began to apologize, speaking fast so she could run away to hide her tears. "Oh my god I'm such a klutz! I'm so sorry!" She then began to sob as she walked away as fast as she could. Despite wanting to run, she didn't. From what she heard, she shouldn't run while being pregnant.

Ben was hungry, he realized as he lay on the grass outside the school. He had seen a girl that he did not know walking up the path to the school and wondered if she was new. He wondered what she was and where she came from. But he didn't get up to see, no, he already knew all of the people that he needed to know.

Ben's stomach growled and he arose from his resting position, sitting up and letting the soft breeze rustle through his wings. He stretched them out as he stood, cllosing his eyes and breathing in deeply. Food. That is what he needed, so he started his way back up to the dining hall, hoping that they had something out for him to eat. Ben walked past the dorms and heard a high pitched voice sob that she was sorry. He wondered what had made the voice upset and sped up his pace a bit until he stood outside of room 235. Lucy rushed by him and he nearly called after her, but decided that she would work herself out in the end. He turned back towards the dorm.

In front of him stood who he assumed was the new girl. “I see you've met Lucy, sorry she ran off, she does that sometimes," he said before he could stop himself. He supposed that she had to be informed of the situation, but why did it have to be him who informed her. Friend making was not something he particularly enjoyed.

It had been a month or so since Ciel had started her "new life", and already her ditzy personality was almost perfected. She had not been allowed to attend the school until she had been able to "calm her self down" so she would be entering the academy along with the other new students. Watching from her dorm window, she first spotted the girl who's head was on fire. No, that wasn't right; the girls head was a bright flaming red, easy to mistake from a distance. The girl seemed to examine the school before another person ran into her. She had seen this person before, from her window, of course. Ciel, in the past month, had never really left her dorm room. She shared it with nobody, at least not yet, and she had been too busy forgetting. Forgetting the terrible things she had stored in her head. She had even forgotten her birthday until it had already passed, but what was the point? She had no one to share it with anyway. But those memories were all locked up now. Ciel shook her head and focused her gaze to back outside the window. The red head was still there but the other girl was gone. Next a boy appeared. This redhead, a demon perhaps, seemed to attract many visitors, Ciel smiled to herself. The boy's features were not to be seen from the distance that separated them, but Ciel could see he had wings, like her. Her own pair flexed, the white blue feathers ruffling, a small noise, barely noticed by Ciel any longer. Ciel bit her bottom lip, now in thought. If the paper, the one that had said she was Fallen, was the truth, then she should act less like an angel and more like a demon, right? But Ciel didn't know how Fallen Angels acted at all. That was why, in the past few weeks, she had decided to compare herself with her fellow species to see if they were different. Although the only difference might be she couldn't go back to- to wherever she had come from. She didn't exactly remember. But her interest piqued and curiosity caught the better of her. She turned and headed to the door, her tinted wings folded, blue hair trailing behind her. When she got to the entrance of the school, she stayed quiet a few minutes. Then she decided it didn't matter if they saw her; she no longer had to live in fear. Her new life started now.

---

Here was an odd sight. An averaged sized young woman, no wait, young man wearing what looked like a gi top and hakama walked down the dorm hall, a small but official scrap of paper in hand. His name was Simon Klauve, one of the new students. As for the official paper, he hadn't opened it yet. Well, now was better than never. He broke the wax seal on the paper and read aloud. "Dear Ms. Klauve," There was obviously more to the letter than just that, but as soon as he read that bit, he screamed in pure rage. Now, Simon was usually much more... soft spoken, but this yell was loud. Very loud. "YOU BASTARDS! YOU GENDER CONFUSING DUNDER HEADS!" These words rang throughout the entire hall and most of the school. He sighed heavily after his scream of outrage, feeling quite a bit better. He continued to read the letter aloud, though much more quietly. "You dorm room is 235, located on campus. We hope you understand these are two person dorms. Please do your best not to kill your room mate." he said under his breath. Well, that was rather blunt of them. He continued walking down the hall, rather dejectedly until he came up upon the angel and the red head. New students like himself maybe? Maybe they knew where his room was located? Might as well ask. He mustered up a little courage and managed to speak. "E-Excuse me.. Would you happen to know where room 235 is?"

Elizabeth made her way towards where she suspected the dorms were, only to be bumped into by a blonde girl. An immediate growl had escaped her throat. She snapped her head around to the girl, only to see her already fast walking away. Elizabeth started to take steps towards her, before she stopped herself, an remembered how she pledged she wasn't going to hurt anyone...For now.
As long as no one else bothers me...
Elizabeth thought. Suddenly, she heard a male's voice behind her. Twirling around, she was greeted by an angel.
“I see you've met Lucy, sorry she ran off, she does that sometimes,"
He had told her, most likely referring to the girl who bumped into her.
"Hmph..."
She gave a small grunt. Soon, she heard another voice...
"E-Excuse me.. Would you happen to know where room 235 is?"
A girl boy had asked. Elizabeth shrugged,
"I wouldn't know.."
The boy from earlier gave him an answer, as Elizabeth looked around to see people seemingly looking at her. She sighed quietly in frustration, and glanced over at the angel, who seemed to walk away in a rush. Shaking her head, Elizabeth started to look for her room.

(OOC- I can'tdo fancy lettering, on my ps3 right now. Mom's pc broke.))

Lucy went to her dorm room after coming back from the bench she was on, her face still red from embarrassment and sobbing. She wiped the last tear from her face and opened the door to the dorm room she was in. Not caring if anyone saw her stomach or beet-red face, she sat down and put her bag on an unoccupied bed, as a teacher came in and placed a wheeled crib in the room.The female teacher left as soon as the teacher came and while sighing, Lucy began to look at the crib placed near her bed for the upcoming birth of her child in a few months.

"Hello! I'm Natalie, feel free to make yourself at home, if you need anything just ask. Within reason, I doubt I can help you with unpacking anything.” Elaine doubted this as well, but she didn’t voice this to the fair- no Natalie. “Hey, I’m Elaine.” She spoke in a rushed quiet voice. She hated being shy, but there was nothing she could do about it. So she always spoke to strangers, not looking at them, but instead the floor. She had also subdued her usual bright outfit as well, seeing that she didn’t like to attract attention to herself; not on the first day, that is. She gave the fairy a hesitant smile. Might as well warm up to my roommates, she thought. Then she realized she probably appeared to be human, a strange occurrence in this school. She blushed and started to explain herself, “I’m not human.” But she went no further as her foxlike ears and tail appeared, apparently from nowhere.
Elaine blushed an even deeper red and then turned to open the drawer that was hers. All it had was a folded up school uniform, a bit dull and not at all her kind of style, but she could always give it a little something. Maybe cut the sleeves, if that was allowed. She wasn’t exactly worried of getting in trouble, unless it was in front of people. That would put the spotlight on her, something she was extremely uncomfortable with.
But for now she was relatively happy. Her only roommate was a small fairy, barely the size of her face. She didn’t hate people. More of that she was uncomfortable near them. They scared her slightly, but that made perfect sense, seeing as she had lived on the streets for quite some time. Her ears and tails had disappeared, she realized, and now that she was calm and collected she felt more confident.
Elaine put on a genuine smile and, although her gaze still didn’t meet that of the fairy’s, it was an agreeable improvement. “Sorry about that, I’m a bit shy,” She explained “I really don’t like to be near people.” She forced her eyes to look up, but instead of watching Natalie, they wandered to the empty bed. She stood up abruptly.
“We have another roommate?” she asked in alarm. As if in answer to her question the door opend and in came another girl who appeared human as well. Her nails dug into her dresser, leaving faint scratches. Dry tears stained her face, leaving trails down her cheeks. A bulge in the girls stomach and the crib that was wheeled in after signified this woman was going to give birth. Elaine blushed slightly, as she had only watched her mother, a cat, give birth before. She decided it was impolite to mention anything and greeted the girl. “Hi, I’m Elaine. Nice to meet you.”
Her once high spirits had now sunk a bit. Too bad the third roommate wasn’t a fairy.
((OOC: Probably wont be able to post as often now that school is starting... D:))

Looking up, Lucy introduced herself quietly, "I'm Lucy Kirkland, and I'm 16." Then she added, "You can probably tell I'm giving birth soon." Lucy was hoping she wouldn't have to introduce herself, but at least she got it over with quickly. She decided to start unpacking her things she brought, which her baby blanket she had since she arrived at the orphanage and school supplies. Unzipping her bag, she started putting the white and gold striped blanket in the crib after setting the supplies on her dresser.

Natalie was going to reassure her roommate, who was apparently a cat-fox person to Natalie’s slight surprise, that being shy was fine. Before Natalie could form her words the third roommate entered the room, not looking to well either. The third new blonde sat on the other bed as a crib was wheeled into the room, she was pregnant was what the evidence was stacking up to. Elaine greeted the girl and the girl, Lucy, greeted her back. Neither of the girls talked much, sitting there in an awkward silence as Lucy unpacked her things and put a blanket into the crib.

The thought of making tea for the two crossed Natalie’s mind, but quickly was disposed of by logic. To make tea for these two girls would take ages of water transferring using a small cup. She doubted either of them wanted to wait forty minutes for tea, if Natalie was lucky enough a kettle was already on a burner even. Natalie had already unpacked herself; she had assumed the rest of the first little while would be spent getting to known her roommates. Unfortunately Natalie’s roommates were a shy and depressed, ‘Real sensitive Natalie’. Although she still hadn't introduced herself to the new inhabitant at this point it seemed Natalie had forgotten that she hadn't.
Natalie choose to get a glass of water for herself, a real thirst had built up while she had been reading. Grabbing the glass her had brought, with an entire set of fairy sized dining ware, she fluttered over too… ’Do either of you know if the tap water is drinkable?

Elaine smiled at the fairy. She decided right away that she liked her. She was small, considerate, and just… likable. Her stomach rumbled and, glancing at the clock, she realized it was already lunch time. “Do either of you know if the tap water is drinkable?” Natalie piped up.
No she didn’t know. “I’m not sure, but we can go down to the cafeteria and check if they have some water. Shall we go check? That is, if you guys are up to it?” She added hurriedly.
((OOC: That seems like where all the action is! :3 ARRG THIS POST IS TOO SHORT BUT I HAVE TO GET OFF THE COMPUTER!))

Elaine blushed when she realized how pushy she sounded. Lucy hadn’t even finished unpacking had she? And Natalie was too small to handle the huge food anyway. Elaine’s ears threatened to appear, so she turned like the scared cat she was and fled the room. Great start, El. And now you have to get through the year living with them.
Elaine headed to the entrance of the school. She needed somewhere secluded where she could let her ears and tail spring free. She hated when they did in public. She was ashamed of her whole being, not a human, not a cat. So where could she be? The people shunned her, her fellow felines shunned her. She just didn’t belong.
Elaine had fully intended to head straight out the door, but her way was blocked with suit cases and a small black cat. Her demeanor brightened when she saw the animal. She crouched down to pet its sleek looking fur. The cat’s paw shot out and raked its claws down her arm. She jerked back a little, surprised by the sudden aggressive act. Still she reached out again until her hand was level with its nose. She let it smell her and then slowly moved her arm towards its head.
The cat’s fur was not at all as silky as she assumed it would be. In fact, it was actually soft and pleasurable to touch. A smile lit up her face as it started to purr quietly. She gave a small laugh and continued to stroke the small being.

Natalie felt horrible as Elaine rushed out of the room, here she was sitting thinking in her own little world and making other people feel terrible. Natalie probably would’ve refused the offer anyway, she hated going through those crowded halls, and a meal would feed her for weeks. Sitting there thinking how to word her refusal for… well too long it seemed. Natalie was about to rush out the door to apologize for being inconsiderate, flying up the door knob and grasping the knob. Natalie always hated human doors, the force it took to turn and pull back one those beasts was a great burden.
As the door slowly was pulled back by the force of the fluttering fairy she flew around the wooden mass to look outside it. The sudden realization of how unlikely she would be to find Elaine in these crowded halls was enough to re-surface the fear of being smashed by a careless passerby. Soaring away from the open door back to her bed. Natalie again began to realise why fairies tend to not go to this school and stay in their own cultural area. Not that she cared what other fairies did; personally she liked larger humanoids more. Sitting on her bed Natalie decided to wait for Elaine to come back to apologize, and she remembered she was still thirsty…

Lucy had been laying on her bed, staring up at the ceiling for a while, in deep thought. Would this school year turn out bad? How mean were the people here, and how badly would she be beaten? Her thoughts began to go to her adoptive father. Just thinking about her father made her want to disappear...

"Why Lulu? Why did you need to get pregnant? If you hadn't, none of this would've happened." Her father motioned to the pool of blood around Lucy, He had that sick grin on his face, one she wished she had never had to see.

Whoops, Lucy realized she turned invisible while thinking about him. Quickly turning visible again, she began to get off the bed.

Lucy heard bells and assumed it was time for the opening ceremony or whatever it was called. She began to walk down to the place it was to be held, hoping she wouldn't bump into the girl she ran into earlier. Unfortunately she got lost. She stopped outside the shower rooms and began to hear someone talking to themselves inside one. Turning invisible, she listened a safe distance away from the door.

"AAAGH!" There was a crash and Aaiden blinked. He didn't remember striking out, but there he was. His fist had gone clear through the mirror and shards of the reflective glass dug deep into his knuckles scraping bone. "Aaah....."

Aaiden pulled his hand back. It trembled as a stinging pain vibrated from each of the wounds. He sucked in a breath and looked into the remaining dangling chunks of mirror that stuck to the wall at himself. "I'm not going to let him win. I said I'd make him pay if it meant walking back into the hell. I'll bring it back with me and wrap him nice and tight in the nothingness. He'll have no one to fight but himself and even then he'll have no body to fight. Even he can't withstand such punishment."

Aiden smiled darkly at his reflection and flexed his wounded hand, causing chunks of glass to fall out and little bits to dig in further. His hand throbbed and ink black blood dripped onto the tile floor. He turned towards the door, eyes narrowed as he sensed someone to be there.

Lucy heard a yell inside the room followed by glass shattering and jumped a little, hoping no one was hurt. Of course, she could heal the person if they were hurt, but she was scared they would hurt her or the baby. Shutting off her invisibility, Lucy knocked at the door. "Is everything alright?" She asked, loud enough for the boy inside to hear. Inside her chest, Lucy's heart beat fast. "I know how to heal if it isn't fine." She added.

"I'm fine." Aaiden spat dully. He looked over at her and his gaze abruptly went down to her stomach. Being a demon he was somewhat repelled by things like unborn children. In most religions they're considered to be pure beings. Unmarred by sin. God's gift or whatever. Aaiden felt sick to his stomach and he looked away feeling the bile rise. "You shouldn't be here this is the men's shower room."

He looked at her coldly. "It's against the rules. You may want to be careful loitering around the men's rooms. People might think you're a whore." He spat the word like a poison. His wounded hand clenched, forcing blood to drip. He turned his back to her and began picking the pieces of mirror and glass out of his skin.

"Oh... Sorry, I got lost. If you change your mind about the wound on your hand, I am a mage..." Lucy felt a tear come to her eye and turned invisible quickly as she shut the door. She just wanted to heal his hand, but she couldn't if he didn't want her to. She began to walk away as quickly as possible from the scene after wiping tears from her eyes.
