@carla6677@Flightless_Soul Serah yelped with the sudden appearance of Yasmin. "Jesus christ Yas! How fast are you?!?" She let out a breath then blinked when Evelyn pushed past. She soon gave chase. "Oi! Were are you going?"

[carla6677]

She turned around. "I am fast, I ran okay" she had lied as that speed was easy for her. She started singing and playing again.

Evelyn

Evelyn stopped just as the music had hit her. She soon found herself turning back around and heading for the music room, brushing past Serah. Once there, she paused at the door, her eyes set upon the girl at the piano. Her voice...it was of a dark angel, beautiful...but so melancholic. Ev stayed there in the doorway, listening to her sing, hanging on to every note played, every lyric serenaded...just letting herself get caught up in the music.

[Im a huge mess]

@carla6677@Flightless_Soul Serah skidded to a stop when Evelyn had turned around, hearing the music. "Wha-?" She then followed pursuit again, this time at a slower pace.

[carla6677]

Yasmin kept singing. If you payed close attention the lyrics were:
The night the day
The moon the sun
Me and you
Together we are one
You are out at day
I am restricted to night
But someday, Somehow
Someone will love me
For who I am
No matter who
Girl or boy
I want somebody
To love me
For who I am
Her cloak fell down at this part, showing her long black hair and her blood red dress and hairband and her eerie green eyes.
For who I am
I am feared
Destined to be alone
But someday
Maybe Somehow
Somebody will love me
Forever
For being me
The girl
The one who is feared
The lemon
Makes her look normal
But someday
I will stop hiding
If someone will
Love me
For who I am
For who I am
Inside
I have a heart
Even though you might
Think that it is made of stone
I have fears and worries
Weaknesses and strengths
Like everyone else
I may live forever
But that is even harder
It is even harder
To find someone to love me
For who I am
In the night
I come out
I go where I need to go
But sometimes I wish
I didn't have to
Be alone
All I want
Is someone
To be there
To hold me tight
When I cry
To not abandon me
When I am defenseless
She was crying as she started the piano solo.

For who I am

Destined to be alone

Maybe Somehow
Somebody will love me
Forever

In that very moment...she could feel tears welling in her eyes...and streaming down her cheeks.... Evelyn stood there by the door, not even noticing Serah behind her, not even caring if the girl saw her crying. Slowly she approached the dark haired girl, Yasmin, and stood beside the piano, taking it all in, the pain, the sorrow in her lyrics, in her voice...a sharp, two edged dagger impaling her cold, blackened heart...and bleeding out all of her emotions. Once the song had finished, Evelyn wiped away her own tears. "That was....beautiful..." She whispered. Beautiful, a word that didn't do the somber melody justice. In fact, no word could describe it, or what Evelyn was feeling inside.

[carla6677]

@Flightless_Soul "Thank you, I wrote it myself" Tears were rolling down her cheeks as she remembered something from the past. It was from when she was 7 and she gripped the edge of the piano hard. It was the other people at the foster home, they called her a freak and a monster and was scared of her. The tears got harder as she shook with silent sobs.

Evelyn

"Here." From her black leather jacket, Ev pulled a bright red cloth, one she used to keep dust off her guitar but she had others. She handed it to Yasmin, trying to smile, but not really finding the strength to. Meanwhile, the ghost behind her was crossing her arms, a sour expression upon her face. ~"Boooriinng!"~ She said in a rather sing-song taunt. ~"Come on, Evvie dear. Let's go find someone to terrorize. Ev? Evelyn? Hello! I'm right behind you!"~ But Evelyn paid Miriam no mind. She seemed to like the dark haired girl, mostly because...she felt the same. "So you wrote that, huh?" She said rather sincere. "Not bad. I could tell you put alot of emotion behind your lyrics."

[carla6677]

@Flightless_Soul
Yasmin nodded but could still hear the taunts of the kids. She composed herself. "I am fine, that was based on my past and me really, nothing else, I always wished that someone would be there for me and wouldn't hate me, make fun of me or be scared of me"

[Flightless_Soul]

Evelyn

"I...I get what you mean." Ev sighed sitting beside her, Miriam resting both elbows on the piano with the same bored expression shot towards her. ~"Oh boy, here we go. Cue the dramatic music."~ She said mockingly pretending to play a violin. Ev just shot her a vicious glare, then turned back to Yasmin. "You feel like you're something else...something...different. You want to hide yourself from the world, but then...you also want to be noticed. The people look at you, and you feel their eyes burning into you, you hear them utter things like monster, creep, weirdo. It doesn't hurt, at first....but then...it gets to you. You believe them. You can't look at yourself in the mirror anymore without feeling...sick."

Her body began to shake, hot, searing tears welling in her eyes. She tried her damndest to hold it back. Then...her ghostly companion had to open her mouth again, ~"Are you done having your pity-party yet?"~ Suddenly Ev slammed her fist against the keys, producing a heavy crash of notes that echoed everywhere...unwittingly in front of Yasmin. "Fuck..." She muttered under her breath. "I'm sorry. I just have....a couple of issues." Red in the face, she stood, stumbling a little. "I'm Evelyn...by the way. It was great to meet you." And with that slowly she turned, walking out of the room, but not before apologizing to Serah, "Umm...sorry if I'm being a bitch. Just not feeling good."

[carla6677]

@Flightless_Soul
Yasmin ran after her and grabbed her wrist. "I have never met someone who has been through those name calling sessions, It is true, that it what happened to me, Those names do get to you, It is okay about issues, I have a few as well including that I will almost always push people away at any cost and I will isolate myself constantly and that I won't accept help, Music is the only thing that helps me, I never had anyone to turn to so I turned to music," She sighed. "It is okay to get upset or angry sometimes, I had a breakdown in front of you and you are the only one who has seen that happen, when I get zapped back to my time in care," Her green eyes turned to red and she quickly pulled a bottle from her bag as her fangs started to grow back and she quickly started drinking from the bottle before pulling a lemon slice out while still drinking from the bottle when her fangs came back fully. "Sorry, I have to go" She ran off, with super speed, to the bathrooms and locked herself in a cubicle, trying to sort herself out but she struggled.

[Im a huge mess]

@Flightless_Soul Serah smiled slightly. "Think nothing of it" She then rubbed the back of her head. "You know...most of the kids that have been sent to this school probably have been called all of that?" She looked up slightly, her violet eyes suddenly filled with no emotion. "Sometimes to the point of numbness." She smiled then walked away.

Evelyn

It was surprising to Evelyn what she had heard, first from Serah...then from Yasmin. As the girl's eyes began to shift, from pleasant shades of emerald to a deep crimson red, and quickly she bolted away, Evelyn stood there, both confused and astounded by what she saw. Were those...fangs in the girl's mouth? She didn't see much, just a quick glimpse before Yasmin ran away hastily. Also...she was pretty sure whatever liquid in that bottle was blood. "I guess I belong here then." She mused to herself quietly before leaving the room. Finally some peace and quiet, but...it wouldn't last long.

Evelyn decided to sit underneath a tree outside in the cool shade and pull out her guitar again, this time just playing it on acoustic without any amp or distortion. Then appeared that most loathsome evil spirit before her, a rather smarmy grin across her face. ~"Mhmm if you ask me, doll, I think you really like that vampire chick."~ Miriam purred, her eyes flashing. Ev ignored her and continued playing. ~"So why don't you ask her out? Oh, that's right, because you're just a poor, useless misanthrope. Tisk tisk."~ She could tell Evelyn was getting pissed off, because she was playing faster, her teeth grit in her mouth. "Do you want me to send you back to Hell, Mimi?" She hissed at the ghost. Miriam replied snarkily, ~"Mmm yes, it was a little more enjoyable there really. Not everyday you get savaged by a hungry pack of demons, right?"~ Then she floated directly in Evelyn's face. ~"Come on, sweetie. Why don't you go say hi to her again? I promise I'll be nice to her."~

"She can't even see you, dipshit, nor can she hear you." Ev remarked and stopped playing. Maybe she would see Yasmin again. Maybe...

[carla6677]

@Flightless_Soul
Yasmin put a lemon slice in her mouth and her fangs retracted. She drank from the bottle until her eyes turned emerald again and then left the bathroom and started walking. She heard the music and walked towards it until it stopped and just walked towards where it came from but stopped at the door. She used her super speed to get to the tree but she was burning. "Nice music by the way, I followed the sound and then had to find it myself" She sat by Evelyn, trying not to scream in pain as white smoke came from her body and she tried to use her cloak to protect her. She got weaker the longer she stayed outside.

[Flightless_Soul]

@carla6677

Evelyn

"Whoa!" Ev jumped slightly, not expecting any company, nor was she expecting her company to be Yasmin. "Uh...hey." Nervously she replied, continuing her little guitar practice. "Glad you like it." She said sincerely. As Yasmin sat by her, Evelyn could tell she was feeling a bit dizzy, weak even. Not to mention, the poor girl looked like she was about to be cooked alive. Ev knew what she was, there was no denying that, but she wasn't going to condemn Yasmin for it either. "Hey umm...why don't we go back inside? It's a little too warm out here."

[carla6677]

@Flightless_Soul
Yasmin nodded."Yeah, it is a bit too warm" She said. She was obviously getting weaker.

[Flightless_Soul]

@carla6677

Evelyn

"Why don't we go back to the music room? At least it's quiet there." Evelyn mentioned. She set her guitar back in her bag and zipped it up, throwing the strap over her shoulder.

[carla6677]

@Flightless_Soul
"Good idea" She stood up and started walking at normal speed towards the music room.

[Flightless_Soul]

@carla6677

Evelyn

Evelyn followed behind Yasmin keeping pace with her, all the while keeping an eye on Miriam, making damn sure the ghost didn't stray off to cause any more chaos. Thankfully she didn't. No, she just did her usual, annoying the hell out of Ev. ~"Oh how cute, Evvie! Your first little date! Maybe this relationship will last longer than five seconds!"~ <3 Ev merely glared at her and stepped into the music room, setting her guitar aside, still in its bag. "So umm..." She stammered trying to break the ice. "How did you learn to play piano?" She asked while taking a seat at the instrument mentioned.

[carla6677]

@Flightless_Soul
"We had to learn an instrument at my middle school and I chose piano, flute and guitar because I couldn't decide between them, so I play all 3" She smiled slightly. Her fangs had retracted and her eyes went back to green before she had gone outside.
