[IC] The Family That Slays Together [REBOOT]

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Tanya could barely suppress a smirk as said girl walked over and fell right before them. "Well speak of the devil. C'mon Lin, let's leave these two alone. You and i can share a few drinks." Tanya didn't care if Lin actually drank but she knew when a girl liked a guy. Tanya climbed on her bike.

John smiled at Alyssa and said, "You wanna go get some food? My treat," he offered, running his hands through his hair. He didn't know what Alyssa was thinking right now but he knew what he was. He was undeniably in spiraling crush mode with one of his best friends. So maybe it was real. John figured that he'd never know if he didn't try.

[paigesweetheart]

Alyssa noticed that John saw her and that made her a bit nervous. But god he was so cute when he was close to her. So she smiled nodding at him and ran a hand through her hair. "Su-...Sure. we can go get some food. Hah. I am rather hungry..." Alyssa said bitting her bottom lips as she waited for John to lead the way.

Kyo came running over as fast as soon as the incident was over "Man what a bitch, hey Tanya what's up" the boy said. "You read my mind" Lin said with a smirk, he heard Tanya say something about some drinks, while he wasn't a big fan of alcohol he felt it would be a good thing to wind down after the first day. "Sure I'll follow you, we'll talk later Kyo" The boy said "Alright later"

[HikikomoriMoxy]

"Hey Kyo. Just going to get drinks." Tanya climbed on her bike and lead the way to a convenience store near their house. Tanya's actual birth records had long been lost so all the family knew she was eighteen but not the month and the day. Due to her past she had long since "acquired" a fake I.D. though it's not like the store owner really cared. She'd just flutter her eyes and toss her hair and poor, single forty-year-old was putty in her hands. "I'll be back out in a bit." she said, grabbing her purse and going inside the store.

Michelle groaned and ran out of the class. Man, did she hate falling asleep in the middle of class. She looked around sighed. Her aunt wasn't here yet. She saw the girl from her history class talking to some guy and she couldn't help but think they were adorable. She looked passed them and saw a girl on a really cool bike and a guy following her lead. Before they left she shouted "nice rides!", but they probably couldn't hear her. She saw her aunt's car come to a stop in front of her and she rolled down the window. She yelled "hey! How was the first day?! Did you make any friends?!" Her face flushed red and she bowed her head into the car. "Auntie! That was so embarrassing!" She put her face in her hands as she sped her way from the school. "It's okay, dear. I've gotchya!" Becky giggled softly. Michelle rolled her eyes and waited for them to stop in front of the house to step out. "I'm gonna go to be-" Becky shook her head. "Nope! You're gonna introduce yourself to all the neighbors." Michelle's eyes widened. "No I'm not!" Becky glared. "Yes you are, and no excuses." She said before slamming the door shut and locking Michelle out of the house. Michelle groaned and started at the older couple's house.

Thanks to his lack of sleep the night before, today had been especially hard for Sam. He had slept through all of his classes and lunch the entire day. Even now when everyone else was starting to leave and go home he remained faced down on his desk, fast asleep. Pretty much everybody had given up on waking him in favor of getting on with their day. He was practically dead to the world as he was lost in a strange dream.

Everything around him was darkness. He couldn't see anything, couldn't hear anything, couldn't feel anything. He was in total sensory deprivation. Shock was the first reaction. He couldn't remember the last time he had had this dream. Suddenly he heard a small whisper, something he couldn't understand. Shortly after it repeated this time clearer.

"Soul...

He fell to his knees and held his head in his hands as a violent pain went through him and the same voice repeated again this time much louder. The source of the voice was now staring down at him a giant floating arcane symbol.

"SOUL!!

"Leave me alone!!" And just like that he was back, with his hand on the throat of his history teacher, Mr. Haplan. "Oh god! I'm so sorry!" He released the man's throat and cursed his Slayer reflexes as his teacher started trying to regain his breath. As soon as he stopped coughing Mr. Haplan started to lecture him about sleeping during class and he vaguely caught something about problems at home, but he was distracted by the dream to much to pay attention. It had felt almost foreboding. All of a sudden warnings went off in his head and on his first instinct he tackled the still lecturing Mr. Haplan. "Get down!" A giant serpent head smashed through the window and snapped at the two of them, one of its fangs cutting Sam's arm as they hit the ground. Another serpent head indentical to the last emerged from another end of the wall. He was dealing with a Hydra. Right in the middle of both of the Hydra's foreheads was the same exact symbol from his dream. Sam quickly brought himself back to his feet and picked up Mr. Haplan and shoved him out the classroom door. "Get everyone out of the building now!" The two hydra heads stared at him neither trying to make a move for Mr. Haplan which was good.

"She will have the souls that were denied to her..." One of the heads hissed. Normally he would been thrown off by the fact the Hydra was talking but instead he could only focus on what it had said and for the first time in a long time Sam was actually scared. It couldn't possibly be her, he saw Mathias decapitate the bitch himself, there was no possible way she was alive. Before he could even finish the right head lunged at him and he barely dodged as it tore through the wall behind Sam opening up a path into the hallway. Taking the time given to him Sam clambered out if the hole and ran down the hallway while the head was dazed. The other head immediately came after him. He yanked his phone from his pocket and dialed a random number from his contacts, hoping he'd get either Mathias or one of his siblings.

[Drakeonis]

Mathias pulled up to the house. After his long battle with a Lich, Durendal was covered in ectoplasm and so were his knives if not for Sam's text from earlier this would be a very boring day. He stepped into the house and found Noel and Alluria together. "You must be the girl Samuel mentioned?"

[Animelover_princess]

Alluria turned when someone entered, she assumed this was Mathias. she nodded and pushed herself off the counter, he was covered in something that she couldn't quite identify "i'm Alluria, i assume you're Mathias?" she took a step closer, her mostly friendly attitude, which she had had with the other's from the orphanage, she didn't know this man, and she didn't have a good image of adults from many many bad experiences and, without meaning to, tended to turn cold in their presence.

[Drakeonis]

Mathias looked Alluria up and down. She certainly looked like she could hold her own in a fight but he'd still need to see it himself. "So you escaped from the witch? An impressive feat." He wiped some of the ectoplasm from his face. "I suppose you can guess that I'm the one who killed her." He walked away from the kitchen and motioned her to follow him. "If you want to be able to do something like that then follow me."

[Leda]

Lin sighed as he sat outside waiting for Tanya to come back, if no one else noticed he knew she had a habit of taking advantage of anyone who found her attractive, although he didn't have a problem with it he just wish she wouldn't get so riled up every time someone talked trash about everyone else. To him it didn't matter what everyone else said.

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Tanya returned with a bag of chilled smirnoffs and beers. She put them in the side bag of her bike where they'd be safe. Climbing back on her bike she lead the way home. Once there she went to the back yard where there was a gazebo, pic-nic table and tire swing. She sat on the swing and handed him a bottle. "So what do you think about John and Alyssa?" She said with an amused smile. It seemed the almost-fight was forgotten instead for some juicey gossip. She popped open her bottle and it made a fizzing noise.

[Leda]

Lin got off his bike and followed Tanya outside to the backyard and heard her ask about John and Alyssa "As far as what" the boy asked as he sat on the pic-nic table and tool the drink from her

[HikikomoriMoxy]

"Oh come ON! I can't be the only one seeing the chemistry between them? What do you think if they got together? You've know him longer and stuff. Do you think they'd last?" Tanya pried then drank from her bottle.

[Leda]

Lin took a drink from the bottle and set it down as he clasped his hands together in front of his face and thought to himself for a moment "I hadn't really payed attention to it, If he's smart he'll stay away" He said. It killed him inside a little to say it as he thought everyone in his family deserved to be happy, but what they did tended to interfere with that especially with relationships.

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Tanya nodded, the grim reality of their lifestyles setting in. "Hiding it would be impossible. Having a family would be even harder. Especially if he ever got seriously hurt. I mean that's the far future and stuff. But in the immediate future there's the simple fact that because we can see them, they come to us. Getting someone else involved is irresponsible." The teen girl knew this all too well. She'd rejected boys in the past, coming up with a variety of outlandish excuses such as she was a lesbian or she was arranged to be married. But she simply didn't want them getting hurt. Atleast with the Blackwells she felt that everyone could take care of themselves.

She sighed and shrugged. "Sad but true." Tanya tossed back the drink and took a few long swigs. "Not much to do about it I guess." She said. "Man this god darker than I wanted. Let's talk about something nicer!"

[Leda]

"Okay, shoot" The boy said as he relaxed a little, Since Tanya"s short time with the Blackwells he'd never really talked to her that much and hardly knew anything about her, granted most of the time he stays to himself when he's not with his friends, it was kind of nice to have a chat with his older sibling

[HikikomoriMoxy]

"So, I know you're really into music. You going to college for it?" Despite living with this family for a little over a year, Tanya still didn't know most of them past the basics. It was fun to unwind and actually talk about something that wasn't ghoulish.

[Drakeonis]

Sam cursed as his phone got no one. His vision was getting blurrier as he struggled down the hall not noticing he was barely moving. The wound from the Hydra's fang stung and he could ionly come to the one conclusion. Their was Hydra venom coursing through his veins. Great, if the giant, multi-headed serpent didn't kill him it's venom would eventually. He had to get to his guitar case if he wanted to go on the offensive. A hydra head came down the hall and he started running again as fast as he could while he was impaired by the venom. "Worst...first day...ever!"

[arowne97]

Suddenly, James seemed to come out of nowhere holding his demon blade, which he had somehow kept hidden the whole time they were in school, and he cut off the hydra's head, and, thanks to the blade's powers, the head didn't regrow because the blade absorbs the power of anything it cuts.
