[IC] The Family That Slays Together [REBOOT]

[VarionusNW]

Rayne woke up with a simple yawn. His room was filled with silence as he got ready. He took a shower, and changed into something simple, a black T-shirt and some dark blue jeans. Rayne checked that he had all the necessities for starting off the school year right. Oh, that's right, he was a senior this year, wasn't he. Oh, and his birthday was coming up soon. Great. Unnecessary celebration. Rayne decided to stop thinking for a moment, and grab his bag, as well as put on his watch, before going downstairs, to the kitchen.
"Morning." He said this with about as much enthusiasm as a rock.

John smiled and waved at the others as he sipped some coffee he had made. "I'm glad someone is happy about the end of summer," John said, referring to Tanya's enthusiasm towards homecoming and the beginning of school. He finished his coffee and rinsed the mug out in the sink. He figured that Mathias was out or he would be up already so he decided he'd wait a little bit longer and offer a ride to those who couldn't drive once they came downstairs.

Alluria cleared her throat again "i ... i used ..." she coughed "i used to live there, i ... i escaped"
'finally' she thought 'now was that so hard?'
she shuffled and noticed someone peeking out the door, probably Noel, but she didn't know for sure. she turned her attention back to Sam "the ... the ... our caretaker, tried ... to kill me, and ... well, i escaped, and ran" she wasn't sure if they'd believe her or not, but it was the truth so she hoped they would, 'i've never had this much trouble talking to people' she thought 'what's wrong with me today?'
"i don't remember much about the orphanage, i've tried hard to forget it, i was 12 when ... when i escaped, it's been ..." she thought "a while, i just felt the need to check out what had happened to the people i used to know, you're teenagers now so i found out" she took a deep breath "i'll be going now"

[Drakeonis]

"Wait a sec." He couldn't actually believe it, someone had escaped the damned witch on their own? He never imagined that was impossible. That would explain why she felt so familiar. Then it suddenly hit him like a ton of bricks. "I remember you." Her name still escaped him but he was sure now that he knew her, and the fact that she knew about the orphanage was proof enough. He extended his hand. "I'm Samuel. It's a pleasure to meet you again."

[Animelover_princess]

the words froze her "i remember you"
she turned back to him "you really remember me?" she looked at his extended hand before extending her own and gently clasping his, she hadn't really shook anyone's hand in awhile so she wasn't quite sure what to do next, something about shaking obviously "I'm Alluria" she thought about it "Samuel, i can't put a face to that name but i think i remember you" she cleared her throat again and pushed a lock of blonde hair out of her eyes "it's nice to meet you again too"
she didn't know what to do now, would he have her go away, invite her inside, talk out here? she supposed it was all up to him.

Jeffery walked outside silently, he was following Sam to see what was happening. The event he witnessed, however, really shocked him. "Holy crap," Jeffery walked out from behind his hiding spot, "I had no idea that others survived that orphanage. By the way I'm Jeffery, nice to meet you... again." He still had bandages around his head from his fall earlier.

[Drakeonis]

Sam grinned after Jeff introduced himself. "The rest of us who were left when the caretaker disappeared got adopted after, and we all live here." While he knew she was probably already aware the caretaker was a witch he decided to keep the family's slayer identity a secret until Mathias gave him the ok. "Why don't you come in? I mean we got to get to school soon but I'm sure everyone would like to meet you."

[Animelover_princess]

Alluria nodded to Jeff "it's nice to meet you again as well" she shook his hand as well. she coughed "i think i'm the only one ... to have survived the ... caretaker"
She wasn't sure how to proceed, she didn't expect them to be so nice, she hadn't really met nice people in a very long time, but she didn't want to refuse as it had also been a long time since she'd legally been inside a warm house. "i'd love to come in, um, thank you" she carefully took a step towards the door, if no one objected she kept going, but she would wait for someone else to open the door, as she had generally learned that opening other people's doors got them mad at you, but maybe that was only when they didn't invite you in. as she waited she stewed over whether she actually wanted to meet the others, but they were the reason she came so she figured it was best to meet them.

Silently Noel watched Sam and the girl talk for a moment before Jeffery walked past her and out the door. His head was bandaged up pretty well but he seemed to be okay. Noel frowned slightly remembering his tumble.
It seemed as though the girl didn't remember them but they remembered her. Maybe going out to talk to her wouldn't be so bad. Her hand reached for the doorknob when she heard Sam invite her in. The girl approached and Noel let lose a squeak before darting around a corner. She had never been good with people outside of her family but this just brought painful memories. First her nightmare, then a girl who used to be her friend. Noel was sure the past was trying to catch up with her.
"You shouldn't be so rude." She reminded herself mentally. "Just smile."

Despite of her own advice she stood peeking around a corner waiting for her brothers and the girl to come in.

[Drakeonis]

Sam walked by and opened the door motioning Alluria to head inside. He stepped in himself and checked his watch again. "Come in and make yourself comfortable, most everybody is probably in the kitchen by now Jeff can show you the way. I'll be back after I get ready." He ran down the hall past the kitchen and up the stairs going straight to his room. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even notice Noel. His clothes still had the faint stink of hag bait on them from the hunt earlier. He laid out the clothes he was going to wear a shirt he'd gotten from concert last year, and some simple blue jeans before heading into the shower.

[Animelover_princess]

Alluria had heard a squeak from the behind the door, she was pretty sure it was Noel, as the girl had been hanging out behind the door a little while ago. Sam let her in and Noel appeared to be gone for the moment. then Sam said he was going to leave her with Jeff "oh, ok" and she watched him leave, she didn't really mind being with Jeff. she turned to the other boy and cleared her throat a little "do you want to show me to the kitchen?"
she house was quite nice, well it wasn't really a house, more of a mansion. she kind of wished she could have been adopted when all of the others were, silently she wondered who had adopted them, and what had happened to the witch, but all things in time. First, she would meet the people living here, as many as she can at least. then she would decide if she was going to stay in town or leave again.

Of course, James was just now getting home, even though it was almost time to go to school. He walked straight to his room, and simply tossed his slayer equipment on his bed, before getting changed into normal clothes.

[Drakeonis]

Sam stepped out of the shower relieved to finally be free of the smell of harpie blood and hag bait. He went outside and got dressed and grabbed his backpack. Once he was ready he went back downstairs to Alluria. "Im back. The kitchen is this way, follow me." He could introduce her to the family and get some much needed food at the same time.

[HikikomoriMoxy]

Tanya was finishing up a hot pocket when Sam came in with a guest.

[Leda]

Lin grabbed a cup of coffee as he sat down at the bar near the kitchen and waited until it was time to leave while he sipped the coffee. He can't say that he was entirely ecstatic about going back but he couldn't complain either, at least it gave him something to do during the day. He heard Sam talking to someone and leading them to the kitchen, he thought it could've been someone he knew from school asking for a ride so he didn't read much into it until he saw the girl he was with.

[Drakeonis]

"Morning guys, this is Alluria she escaped the orphanage before Mathias came." Sam grabbed an apple from the fridge and took a seat next to Lin. "This is Lin, John, Rayne, and Tanya. Noel's around here somewhere ." He checked his watch again and groaned. If Mathias wasn't a factor he'd just ditch.

[HikikomoriMoxy]

"Heya. Nice to meet you." Tanya said, grabbing a strangely colored jar out the fridge and popping the lid to take a drink. It smelled like fresh cut grass. "We gonna go or are we waiting on Mat?"

[Animelover_princess]

Alluria nodded to them "hi nice to meet you all" she stood awkwardly.
'where are they going?' she wondered ... 'oh maybe they have school?' she didn't think to hard about it, she was looking over the people, trying to remember any of them.
they all looked familiar and the name's sounded familiar but no faces stood out in her memory. she wondered what they intended for her, if they were planning on going somewhere why invite her in? why not ask her to come back later? maybe there was someone specific they wanted her to meet?.
she slowly crossed to the counter, and leaned against it, still examining the group. she was a little surprised that just saying she had escaped the orphanage had made Sam go from suspicious and a little aggressive to nice and friendly.
she blinked and sighed quietly, muttering 'i think too much'
"so who adopted you all? or is this just another orphanage in a different place?" she asked.

[smarty0114]

John waved to the girl. He turned to Tanya, "I was just waiting to see if anyone needed a ride there," then he turned to the girl, Alluria, and answered her question. "A man named Mathias Blackwell. Hes a... businessman." John said, almost spilling the beans about the Slayers.

[Rin Okumura]

Jeffery walked into the kitchen after the rest of them, "sorry, I kind of zoned out. I guess a concussion really does affect the brain. I see you've met most everyone," Jeffery looked around, "hey, where's Noel? I need to thank her for helping me when I hit my head."
