Falling Inside the Black [Touch of Insanity&&BeautifulNightmare]

The music was almost hypnotic that filled the main ballroom of Enchanted Academy's Recreational Wing. It was pumping and filling the air with an atmosphere of fake normalcy. Nothing was normal here, even if it appeared so, nothing was. No one here was fully human, and everyone knew that. Despite it all, humanistic activity still came on as they moved to the beat of the music playing. At least, that was what the vast majority was doing. Others sat around tables talking or were making their way out of the side doors into the courtyard to enjoy the bonfires outside. In short, everything was relaxed and laid back for the night, and all of the students were eating it up.

However, a skinny brunette with her long hair in curls and a slinky, short, black dress hugging her form was merely observing. A denim jacket covered her arms, and her black high heels gave her some height. Ophelia Rizolia, Demon extraordinaire. Around her neck hung a beautiful crystal pendant that glowed brightly on the inside, but the light barely showed outside. It was her pendant, and one no one would understand. In her time at the academy, Ophelia had successfully hid her angelic roots, no one even suspecting she was anything other than her demon self. She walked, confidently towards the bonfire where a few heads turned to her. All of them demons, and all of them smirked when she sat with them. Males. All of them.

"Nice of you to finally grace us with your presence, Lia." The brunette male with stunning eyes commented. Lia smirked, and out of her jacket pocket, she pulled out a cigarette and lit up.

"Shut it, Ayden. You know how much I love these events. Getting hit on by boys who can't string a thought together is such a turn on." She said, taking a long drag and blowing out her stream of smoke. Three things that Lia was known for. Her rather unique immunity to allure and mind powers, her ability to call upon and control hell hounds, and her ability to be a stone cold bitch. Most guys who met her either try to get in her pants, or they figure out she is impossible. But then there was her demon crowd, who tried to get her to teach them her ways. Ayden Locke, however, was a rather interesting sort. An outcast hanging out with one of the most known girls in school, and why?

Because oddly enough the two were branded demons, meaning both of them had a single symbol branded into their human forms that set them apart. Though the demon dialect used on Ophelia's was much too old for Ayden to understand, but he knew his meant 'demon of fire.' It gave him the ability to manipulate and create fire, and not to mention it gave him an edge over regular demons. It was why they bonded because of the three types of demons, the branded ones were the fewest and furthest between. There were the regulars,who normally took on attributes of an animal in human form; the summonsed who are the most dangerous and dark; and the branded who are given special abilities and strengths from the time they were branded.

"So, Lia, you going to play nice for a bit tonight and actually enjoy yourself?" Ayden asked, and Lia blew out her drag before chuckling.

"Has hell frozen over yet?" She retorted and soon she could see more people flocking outside, and the music from the inside was seeping outside. "These welcoming shindigs are a waste of time, Ayden, but it gives me time away from my studies, so I can't complain."

Ayden nodded, his eyes travelling over towards a girl he didn't quite recognize, and he brought his finger up and caused the fire to create different shapes, more.or less to impress but also to cast more light on her face. She was beautiful, her face breathing an almost Asian but not nationality. Her eyes were dark, but gorgeous nevertheless.

Ayden looked to Lia who had put out her cigarette, and leaned back against one of the regular demons, Arik if he recalled correctly, and he shook his head. "Arik, you know you don't stand a chance with her, right. Nobody does."

Arik shot him a look, but Lia laughed. "You are so right, Ayden, and there are plenty of reasons."

Ayden stood though, "But I will be back. Going on the prowl."

Lia.shot him a sidelong glance, and he gave her a look. The two actually had a rather deep understanding of each other, which was odd for Lia and anyone really. And Ayden was an outcast in the school because.of his abilities and his temper, but he still had a few friends. "Call me if you need anything, I am sure Rose and Lily are wanting to pounce."

Ayden chuckled when she mentioned her hounds, and he headed off, and he saw the girl, casting her a wavebefore motioning he was heading inside. If she didn't follow, she didn't follow, but he would catch her later. As he was heading in, he bumped into the shoulder of Luca Winters, a very popular boy in the academy. A notorious play boy, but Ayden cast him a smile, his normally dark eyes dancing like fire. "Have fun, all the best people have been out there for a while." He commented before finally heading inside to grab aome grub, and something to drink.

Love struck and bittersweet

Sorry I haven't posted yet. I am still looking for a picture for Claire.

You Gotta Get Up and TRY(Nightmare and Heartless)

Ryan laughed at Amelia's comment before James and Daniel appeared in the room. "That is just precious. When they get married that is going in the wedding slideshow." She joked, but once Daniel came in with his brother, tensions rose. Ryan looked between Amelia and James when it finally clicked, and Daniel's question went unanswered for a moment. James, as in Daniel's brother, was little Lily's father. He was the asshole that Amelia only ever gave a name and a string of heartbreak analogies for.

"Ayden? He is outside with Lily. He has a playdate with her tomorrow." Ryan answered, walking to the window with Daniel, pointing out to him. She looked to Daniel before casting a backward glance towards James and Amelia. "Did you know that they knew each other?"

James looked at Amelia and the looks that the two were receiving from Daniel and Ryan, but at the mention of Ayden, James quickly walked over to the window that Ryan and Daniel walked to, and he looked to Daniel. "So I do have a nephew? And I thought you were the responsible one, and you have a kid?" James said, and obviously it struck a nerve.

"Oh, come off it, and the next time you use such a tone talking about my son, you best believe you will regret it." Ryan said, looking back out to the playground where she saw Ayden standing beside Lily who wascrying and holding her knee. "Amelia, I am going out to check on the kids." She said, and she put her hand on Daniel's arm before heading outside.

James saw her. And she was his spitting image, and there was a blond boy sitting next to her, trying to get her to stop crying. He looked to Amelia, and the girl had her brilliant bright blue eyes. So James had just inadvertently lied? So he did have a child? So that was why...

Suddenly, he felt nauseous, and he looked to Daniel a moment before sitting down, looking out the window as Ryan got out to the children, and she picked Lily up in her arms, Ayden following close behind. When theyentered the room, Ryan set Lily on the table, and Ayden stood by her.

"Lily, are you okay?" He asked, worriedly, and Ryan looked to Ayden.

"Honey, go sit by Daniel, okay? Let mommy and Ms. Amelia take care of Lily." She said, and she saw Ayden walk over and hug Daniel. James just watched, still looking at the girl who looked like him and back to Amelia. The world faded out. "She tripped over a stick and skinned her knee."

This was surreal, and James felt sick to his stomach, and soon he saw Ayden looking at him. "Daniel, who is he? And why is he looking so much? Mommy said that is wude." He spoke, and James rolled his eyes which caused Ayden's brow to furrow. "I don't think he likes me." He whispered loudly, and James went back to watching the two women care for the young girl.

Daniel is gorgeous, doll. I will reply soon.

George suddenly felt the awkwardness when Sam shied away from him, and he was glad that she took his hand and began walking with him. He could feel her eyes where his ear once was, but rather than addressing it, he remained qauiet and listened to her. He loved her voice, it was beautiful, and it was different, so it made it more alluring. With a smile, he nodded. "Well, there is a lot to love."

He remembered her telling him about her mother passing when she was young, so he didn't pry. Instead, he decided to just go with the flow and soon they came around to the back where the garden was, half decorated for the wedding. The fountain was placed, but the faerie lights still needed to be hung, but that was a task for later on that day. "This is our garden, it is a little chaotic, but we are still preparing for the wedding." He said.

A gnome showed itself, and soon took off. "Don't know if you have those little buggers in America, but gnomes are not very good for the garden. Fred and I actually have to degnome the garden today. If you would like to watch or help, you are more than welcomed. I know Charlie will likely be on reptile duty." He said. "You haven't gotten to meet him yet, but I am sure he is up now. With Emily here too."

George could still hear Charlie's words echoing in his mind from the day prior, and it broke his heart that Charlie was so self-conscious, and it was due to the fact that he was one of the strongest people he knew. So, he was curious to see how things were.going inside, and he was sure Charlie would want to meet Sam as much as he wanted to meet Emily.

After walking through the garden, George looked to her. "Are you hungry? I am sure mum still has some breakfast made. And I am sure she has you a plate ready if you are." He asked her.

*~*~*~*~*~*

His hands were warm. And his smile... Emily found herself getting hotter, but she quickly caught the glance Charlie made to her pendant but she didn't say anything about it. She went to answer him, but Molly spoke before she could, and she went and sat at the table beside Charlie. "Thank you, Mrs. Weasley." She said, andMolly gave a warm smile.

"You are quite welcome dear. I am so glad to finally meet you, and I am sure Charlie is too." She said, and she held up the swan paper that was flapping its enchanted wings, and Emily blushed. "I love how your letters are so beautifully folded."

Emily looked to Charlie before Molly continued and Emily began eating. "And thank you for telling me, it was.wonderful to surprise Charlie like this. And George."

Emily swallowed, and she nodded. "You are welcome. I wasn't sure if my letters had made it to Charlie, so I figured I would let someone know we were.coming."

Emily gave Charlie's hand a gentle squeeze before she continued eating, and she saw her tattoos showing, and she prayed no one said anything.
