Seductive Depression

[Mama Z]

Time has a way of flowing. Its unseen fingers like to manipulate things, change them, have everything fall to their knees and beg for more. More what? Time of course. But sometimes, this change is good. And she was noticing it more and more with each day, yet for once did not fear the unknown. Of the Future. Her step was bolder then before, her stance stronger. Eyes of moon-grey showed no fear of what maybe lurking around her. Infact the air around this faerie like creature was different. A certin sway was left in her human hips, almost playful but certinly tempting. Hair was let loose, easily the strands blew as if the sweetest of breezes were blowing through the air.

Even the outfit she wore had changed. What was once a dress down past the knees, was now above it. It was un-earthly white, and it too swayed in the breeze. The top was a mid-drift. Actualy a cloth which covered her chest but wrapped around her neck, creating a V shape both above and below. The skin that graced her skin was a pale color, but now it didnt look unheathy as it had before. The entire outfit hugged her humanly curves. Yes, this flower was now beginning to bloom.

On her back, her wings fluttered idealy. Lazy shades of silver ran over the translucent planes. One, the left to be exact, had a perfect round hole, and from it, spider like cracks spread out. A bullet wound she had recieved and had not healed. Now these wings were marred but a man made creation. But no longer did she care. That was a thing of the past. And what more did she need with that time?

She paused in her steps. Her toes digging into the mulch of the forest floor and she looked up. Her eyes fluttered closed as she took in the mid-afternoon sun which egarly shone through the trees to kiss her fragile skin.

Snap.

White wolven ears swung around as the distinct snapping of a twig near by could be heard. A faint smile formed on her lips, yet instead of running away and hiding in fear. Nisha stood where she was, enjoying the sun and hoping for once, the vistor would draw nearer.

Since when had he resorted to skulking around in the shadows, trying to stay hidden, avoiding contact? 'Since last week,' he told himself, glowering at the thought. 'Bad things happen, and nobody can do anything about it, so you might as well get off your lazy ass before Blaque comes and kicks it.' His frown deepened, wondering where the hell his sister was anyway. Shrugging, the tall teenage-looking boy continued his silent stroll through the foliage.

His skin was incredibly pale, almost white. Hair as black as gunpowder created a sharp contrast, along with the jade green eyes that were delicately almond-shaped and cold as ice. Some considered him attactive, but he never had time to deal with his personal life. So his admirers kept dreaming, and he kept on doing his work. What did he do for a living? Blaque had asked him more than once, but he refused to tell her. He'd rather not tell anyone, 'cause it would most likely land him in jail. He snorted at this idea. Him, in jail? Yeah, right. Only his name reflected his job- Silencer.

The boy growled in frustration as he ran into a spiderweb, brushing the glittering strands off of his black pants, which were made of a jean-like material. They were stained with dirt and patches of what might've been blood, and a few leaves from his ramblings through the dark woods. His black wolven ears twitched in annoyance as a twig snapped beneath his bare foot, then winced as a wet leaf trickled dew down his bare back. A soft curse left his mouth as he spotted a girl through the trees. He made up his mind in a split second, stepping forward and eyeing her with apprehension. Silencer thought the way she dressed revealed a little too much, but, hey, if that's the way she liked it, fine. The sun glinted on the two steel rings piercing his right aud, illuminating his eyes until they seemed emerald in color.

"Yo," he said casually, trying to keep the frustration out of his voice. Silencer was definetly having a bad day.

[Mama Z]

Eyes of silver observed the...boy..that came out. She scaled his body starting at the top of his head where large wolven ears, much like her own, rested all the way down to his bare foot. The faint lingering of blood surrounded him. Her pale, slender hand reached up, gently clutching the cloth just above where her heart would rest. Normaly, it would beat wildly encouraging her to run away, to hide and wait for darkness. But no, now it was beating with an unusual calmness.

Yo. The word was said so casual. But, was it a form of greeting? Her brows knitted together and her head tilted in confusion and faint curiousity. 'I take it that is a greeting where you come from?' The sentence was softly spoken, but in the midday it could be clearly heard for the birds were off on their own doings, in fact, one could almost hear the playfullness that was buried inside of the mild vocals.

The air was scented with the different smells of summer, and it was surprisingly muggy outside, although the shade from the trees provided a much needed comfort. Everything it seemed was to be normal, not a thing out of place this fine day...at least so far. Gently and ever so slowly, an air of mystery slowly encircled the two creatures who's paths had crossed, and unknown to them both, a third had appeared...or rather he had been their from the start.

Lingering in the branches of a sturdy oak, one would normally suspect that he would stand out greatly in comparison to the crisp green leaves and brown bark that surrounded him, he himself having been dressed in attire soley the shade of black, while his tresses were cast in a deep and dark shade of blue. His skin however, contrasted vibrantly from the rest of him, looking almost as pale as the moon, yet held a sort of silver-ish glow to it. The only thing that did blend with the nature surrounding him was his eyes, their hue vibrant green and quite dazzling. Honestly, he appeared to be quite perfect in appearance, so much so that he could not at all be considered to be human dispite his obvious resemblance to one.

Only those under special surcumstances however could really see that he was lingering about, for the glow about him rendered him invisable to those of human classification, while other classes he was still almost impossible to detect, unless they were of his bloodline or contained an unusual amount of magick in their blood. In anycase, he seemed to be someone of a rather removed individual, for what one could detect of him came off as a mysterious air, the sad sort that hardly spoke unless they had something wise to say.

For whatever reason though, upon this day, he had breifly let down his sheilds, allowing all to gaze upon him should they simply look up. A rare sight indeed...for one does not get many chances to see a being of angelic blood, no less than a masculine angel at that.

OOC: I found a picture of what i thought nisha sorta looked like xD It's only missing the silver eyes and wolf ears, but i like it none the less ^^ I figure she prolly has better wings than the ones here too...but yeah xD -shrugness-

[Deleted]

Si shifted his weight slightly as he felt her eyes slide over him, stil eyeing her with a little bit of apprehension. Usually, in this forest, when you dealt with magical things every day, you tended to notice that bad things came in beautful packages. A shiver ran down his spine, a wave of power running through his body. Cautiously, he glanced around the clearing, but it was so quick that he completly missed the newcomer.

"What? Oh- yes, it's a greeting the hu- I mean, I just happened to pick it up from staying in a foriegn place for so long. Sorry." He again looked around him, and finally noticed the stranger. He blinked once or twice, then raised a brow. "Eh?"

(Silencer is really your ordinary teen. He just has some useful skills nobody really uses anymore, like assassination. o.o)

[Mama Z]

Gentle fingers briefly caresed over her own forehead just above the brow, pushing a few strands of stray hair out of her line of vision. She gave a small laugh at his slightly jumbled sentence, but understood it. Her demonic blood inside her viens pulsed, human. He didnt need to finsih the word for her to know what he now was. But in the moment she didnt feel like commenting on it. Instead playing a long with his small game.

A question was ready on her lips when something caused her to temporarily put it off and look up. Once again, Nishas curiosity hit its highest. There amoungst the high foilage, rested the figure in black. Ears twisted upwards in a manner that gave him her utmost attention before she gave a gentle laugh. Her wings fluttered lightly, what remaining sun that was out on the murky day caused them to shimmer. The trail of glitter that lead from her eyes like a tears path to shimmied in the light.

'Are you shy?' She aked playfully, not meaning to offend him if she had. It felt wierd being so bold. But actually she was beginning to like the sensation of not being in constant fear. Almost to the point where it was odd itself.

(Bring in Anioko, it may help if he was here because he already knows Nisha..)

((haha and thats pretty much what she looks like too..just have grey eyes and not gold. ^^)

[/color][/size]

[Relairah]

((yeah, and Ainoko has different wings ^^))

Another human like being had approached. He had heard voices, and one he was sure he recognized. He moved easily along in the brush, though there was no use in trying to hide, for his tall fram was covered by a white tee-shirt and blue jeans that were more of a pale blue. His hair was blonde in color, and it ruffled slightly in the breeze. His golden orbs peared out, and he was half surprised to see Nisha. He was sure he had heard her, but she looked like someone completely new. Her atire had changed a lot, and he wondered how much her personality had changed.

He stepped out, looking from one person to the next, though, if Nisha hadn't been looking at him, he never would have noticed the man in the tree, or maybe he would have. He smiled at each person, and then spoke. Though, his voice was more questioning than he had wanted. He supposed that it was because of his amazement with the "new her". "Nisha?" he said, stepping up to her, and looking her over.

Last he had seen her, she had been afraid of everything that came near her. And she had been talking of leaving, never to return. He had thought she had left, but then, there she was right before him. He felt so happy he wanted to hug her like a friend would do, but he only smiled and watched her.

[Deleted]

Carefully, he backed away from the gathering a few steps, feeling a strange sensation bubble up in the pit of his stomache. Paranoia? Claustrophobia? Whatever it was, it turned his emerald orbs a pale silver green, like the belly of a snake, cnine auds twitching nervously, once or twice, the earrings glinting in the strong sunlight. He tucked his left hand into the pocket of his jeans, though still aware that he wasn't exactly clean from his romp in the woods, or his previous assignment.

At this thought, Si looked nervously over his shoulder, as if expecting something to attack. Actually, he was. Ryke, his boss, was never pleases when he showed up late for the routine, two-month check in. If he was more than two days late, the Boss would send Blaque along... and that was definetly a scary thought. Distractedly, the boy ran his free hand through his dark hair, causing it to stick up in all directions.

He glanced cautiously at the newest arrival, quickly taking in his appearance, and the fact that he knew the girl- Nisha, was that her name? He cast another darting glance towards the mane in the shadows and sniffed the air, attempting to identify what the heck he was. But, unfortunately, it was a scent he had never encountered before. He filed it away for later use, and to consult with the Boss about it.

[Kikuyoshi]

It was as if he hadn't heard her at all, his gaze distantly and lazily thrown out towards the melting horizon, as the molten ball of flames called the sun settled down like melted butter, drenching the land in it's thick oozy yellows and pinks. However, the forest seemed untouched by such a phenominon, as the trees hid the sun's light well in this cramped and crowded space.

It was a few moments before he retorted, not even bothering to look at her, and although his voice was quiet it was very clear to hear and not at all timid. "On the contrary...i just simply do not wish to waist the time with you trying to seduce everyone in sight." It was said plainly enough, as though he really didn't care about her reaction at all in the slightest, and in truth, he really didn't. "I prefered the old Nisha..." It was now that he turned his enchanting orbs of breathtaking green onto her figure, his gaze deep and alarmingly hard to take one's eye off of. "Tell me...where has -she- gone?"

"Oh come off it Jasper" A voice with a hint of brittish sprang up from out of nowhere as a flaming redheaded boy seemed to sprout out from thin air, toying with a ball of fire in his hand. Grinning he turned to the rest of the group, brows arching as he jerked a thumb towards the figure up in the tree. "He's a bit put off... ya see...he fell in love with the timid gal ever since he became her guardian angel...or so you blokes seem to call us." A soft chuckle rose from his lips as Jasper once more turned away from the group, thus proving he spoke the truth. It took him a moment to register that they probably wanted to know who the heck he was, and thus he quickly let go of the flaming ball, wiped his hand on his pants and stuck out his hand, taking hold of the nearest person's which happened to be Silencer and pumped it enthusiasticly. "The name's Michel...i be yer ol' run of the mill angelic creature, but i'm sure you already knew such." Releasing silencer's hand he turned to the other two and gave a small salute and a most affectionate grin. He rather was a peculiar creature.

[Mama Z]

(-drools-)

Nisha glanced towards Ainoko as she heard her name. She gave a soft smile and surpressed a giggle. Yes it was her, who else? Then the first creature, spoke and she looked up and was fully caught off guard by what he had to say and at the same time caught in his enchanted gaze. There was that color again, green. For a strange reason she felt her heart skip a beat as if now she was just frightened by that color. She wanted to look away but couldnt. His words echoing around in her mind.Run! Hide! The meek voice which she hadnt heard in so long was starting to return. Finally she was able to break away from the..the what? Curse? Trance? Enchantment and look at the newest of the small group. She felt the blood leave her head but she brushed it aside as if the small staring contest never happened.

Silver eyes looked at the new member with some interest and only briefly glanced up at the other as he was motioned to. 'Fell in love with the timid gal..' These words to struck a soft spot. Who could ever fall in love with something that was afraid of its own shadow?

She was unaware she had a guardian angel, or a guardian anything. And what? He only made his presence known when he didnt like a change or two? Arms crossed over each other and rested against her belly, as if sheilding herself. She was actually trying to surpress a bit of anger that bubbled inside of her.

'-She- hasnt gone anywhere.' She said keeping the anger far below the surface. This was the answer in response to what Jasper had asked earlier, and still she avoided eye contact. ' Shes just finally grown up a bit.' She ended the sentene with a small shrug.

[Relairah]

Ainoko stepped back slightly, eyes falling upon Jasper and Michael. He frowned, he remembered the "old Nisha". She had been very timid. He himself was sort of in the same state, yet, there was something about her now, something he liked better in her. He glanced at Michael, white, wolf ears swiveling as the other's words rang in his ears. 'How many had actually fallen in love with Nisha in the past? He had known, or at least thought Irvine had, where was he now anyway, he wondered, looking around.

He shrugged, "Sorry, I was just rather surprised to see you," he said softly, golden orbs once more coming to rest upon her. His eyes came to her wing, gazing at the perfect circular hole that was placed there. "Still hasn't healed, has it," he said, more to himself than to anyone else. He sighed, leaning his back against a tree. He wondered if it ever would heal, or if it would become like a scar and stay there forever. He wondered if it disabled flight at all, surely not, a tiny hole like that, but maybe it could.

He shook his head, clearing his thoughts, only to fill his head with new thoughts. He had so many questions that swirled in his mind. He ignored them, looking now at Silencer. He looked kind of nervous, or something around that, and he wondered what the other's thoughts were. He shrugged, he was worrying to much about others and such. He smiled and plucked a grade of grass which he placed between his lips.

[Mama Z]

Her eyes glanced over to Anioko, giving him the smallest of smiles. She glanced over at her marred wing, no it hadnt healed. And more then likely never will. But oh well, life moved on and that one scar was something she could live with.

[Kikuyoshi]

A soft scoff of air brushed past Jasper's lips, turning his gaze and head away from Nisha's gaze. Standing up on the branch that currently supported his weight, it was obvious there was something different about the way gravity affected him. Instead of falling from his placement, he rather seemed to float with a soft easy down to the soil, his feet touching down without so much as a single noise, but landed almost directly infront of Nisha. His next words were soft but audible and were deeply ment, though his gaze and facial features were hard and cold. "Growing up doesn't mean turning into a slut." His eyes never left her's, those piercing green orbs almost seeming to drive right through her skull. "I know who you really are...." these words were spoken just softly enough for only Nisha to hear. "You're the one who cries when you're alone" At his last words, he brushed by her and seemingly vanished right into thin air, his barriar having been put back up into place making him invisible to one's eyes...yet he still lingered, visible only to Michel.

Michel swayed back and forth, switching his weight from one foot to the other. "My..." a nervous chuckle escaped his lips "The mood surely has dampened a bit, eh?" He attempted another little laugh, but failed miserably and thus simply just shut up.

[Mama Z]

(-about craps a gold brick- An update?!)
Her attention was grabbed once she saw Jasper move. Grey eyes watched him float down, like she imagined a god would do save he would be on a cloud and not thin air. And then there was that damn eye color. Ugh, it made her want to just pke his eyes out. They looked deep into her and something odd stirred inside her. Like a serpent uncoiling from its sleep as a preditor drew near its dwelling. Then after a moment something told her he had figured something out. As a reaction her body tensed unsure of what he was doing. Then he spoke, 'Growing up doesnt mean turning into a slut.'

His words were like an arrow and hit right into her heart, right into that small cage where she hid her depression and sorrow and caused it to rattle. Yet the lock on the cage stayed firm and she felt angry now. Her vision blackened around the edges, no not black but green as she would later recall.

'You are the one who cries at night.' No, she didnt cry any more. That Nisha was gone. Dead forever. No more tears because she put a plug in the well. Her teeth clenched together and her fists balled up slightly, the green became brighter, almost like radioactive color. But as soon as he said it he was gone. What did it matter? He knew nothing about her. Never did never will. He just wanted her to be weak so he can feel stronger. Eyes glanced at Michel as he spoke then back at the spot where Jasper once was, then back.

She managed a small fake laugh. 'We shouldnt let something that small ruin the evening, now should we?' She glanced around the small group. 'Lets do something. A game prehaps?' Yes a game, that seemed fun! She wouldnt let that "angel" spoil everything for her. He was nothing after all.
