I'm interested. :)
I posted.So sorry, my classes take up a lot of my time and so does RL.

@Kirra- I had Ellowyn invite Mia to join if that's okay with you? I can edit. Sage also conversed briefly, and waved to Nick's group.
Xander's comment made Josephine smirk. She loved to terrorize people and he knew it well. She sighed and began to follow him. As students passed by on their way, they glanced at her. She gave them sweet smiles, though she wanted to ring their necks. When she arrived, the man was speaking already. She scanned the crowd and ended up sitting beside Xander, who was sitting next to Terraline. The bitch survived? Why? What was she good for? Josephine sighed and ignored her. She didn't have the energy to make a sarcastic remark towards her. Her burn marks were currently scorching.

"New and old students, welcome. You will each receive a handbook of rules and guidelines that contains your class schedule and dorm room and just about everything you'll need! New students this must be very weird for you and I understand. You were gifted with a special ability that sets you apart from other humans. No one is allowed to know you exist in the outside world. The government has a secret branch that was created specially for you. They are trained to kill you and destroy everything tied to your existence. You are being hunted right now. Why? Because your ability makes you a threat to other human lives. Here we give you a safe haven from these hunters so you can learn to control it so you can never use it again. You will learn to control so that you can conceal. In the outside world, power use can be detected thus it must be concealed to avoid death. If you so try to use your powers outside this school, you will be picked up by expensive technology this branch of government uses and they will find you and kill you. That's why it is important that you learn to conceal this ability at all costs. Is this understood by everyone?"

"No," Josie mumbled and glared irritably. This is what she climbed out of bed for? People were so dumb This lecture could have been given to her in the hospital wing.

She turned as she heard Xander mumble; If we're so gifted why are we being told to hide our gift? Why don't we all stand up to those assholes? We're stronger than them." Of course Terraline gave a disapproving glance, her eyes narrowed. This girl was truly good for nothing.

"Right?" She agreed dryly. "These asses already fucked us over once. Why let them do it again?" There was no way in hell that she was "going to hide in fear. A distant, vague memory began to fill her mind that she automatically pushed out. Whenever it surfaced, she would push it away. Josie felt something she rarely felt before that accompanied it: nervousness.

A girl's yell startled her and made her whirl around to face the speaker. What idiot was yelling now and why? Was it necessary? No, it wasn't. Jose made a mental note to terrorize the little shit later on. Her head was pounding from the smoke inhalation and unnecessary noises were driving her nuts. "You're probably all not happy with this, with having to hide. I'm not either, but I'm not stupid to think that standing up to them will be worth it. How many people will die for that war? I do not want to be responsible for that"

She raised an eyebrow. The little shit turned out to be brave, but foolishly so. She sighed and shook her head, turning back around in order not to freak out. Another voice responded. Josie counted to ten before she lost her cool. "I agree with that statement." He announced, voicing his support. "Fighting hurts, and it ain't good for you."

Josephine sighed and rubbed her temples with annoyance. When would these idiots shut the fuck up?

Ellowyn listen vaguely to the speech, looking around every which way. She pulled her jacket on her and pulled her hood up. The last thing she wanted was a confrontation from Drew in front of everyone. With a sigh, she turned to see Sage had left a note saying "Be right back". Ellowyn sighed and turned to see a girl sitting by herself (Mia) nearby. She looked as if she didn't want to comment on anyone's yelling, and Ellie didn't blame her. Still; a part of her panged for the girl sitting alone. It was a lonely thing that nobody should have to face. Ellowyn stood up anxiously and sat nearby her.

"Hey," she greeted gently, as not to startle her. "Would you like to join us? It's okay if not. My friend, Sage, went to the vending machine, but he'll be back." Ellowyn was used to rejection; it was something she faced daily. The scars on her face, neck, and shoulders weren't attractive. She didn't blame people for turning away in disgust. Ellowyn sighed and awaited the girls' response. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the siblings from before. To her shock, there was another sister. She looked away before anyone noticed her glancing over - especially the brother who was making her stomach churn with nervousness.
_______________________________________________________________________

Sage ditched the speech after a few minutes. It was the same thing he heard every year and was tired of listening to. Moments late,r he was glad he had left as he heard echoes of student's yelling replies. Despite it all, he was grateful he was here and not at home. Anywhere was better than being at home. He would never go back to that wretched place if he didn't have to. The greediness of what was considered the upper-class disgusted him. Still, he had used the money for selfless reasons, which only outcasted him. Sage could relate to Ellowyn's consistent loneliness; though his reasons weren't for his physical appearance.

He sighed and went to the vending machine. After buying a bag of sun chips, he went back to the auditorium. The damn thing had almost ate his money. It wasn't that he was in dire need, but he only had so much at the moment. He looked around, briefly wondering where he had been sitting. He looked around and spotted Ellowyn's creamy blonde hair and quickly joined her. As he neared, he saw she was speaking to a younger girl on joining them. On his way back he waved to a group of the other students. He smiled and sat beside Ellowyn, stretching out and setting his feet on top of the chair in front of him.

With a crooked smile, he turned to greet her as well, his United Kingdom accent strong as ever. "Ello mate," He nodded to her.
I posted. If anyone would like to approach my characters, go right ahead. :)
When there was no response, Josephine sighed. This was helpful – not. She grumbled and sat up with difficulty, wheezing. She scowled in annoyance. This would not do. Josephine Grey could not be in a vulnerable position. It was ridiculous. Screw it, she the thought bitterly. She was going to act as if nothing happened because damn it, she was Josephine Grey and she was a strong woman.
When the voice came over the intercom, she couldn't help but jump in surprise. This made her jerk her body and caused pain to ripple through her. Now furious and embarrassed, Josie listened to the voice, whilst cursing it. "All students report to the auditorium in the next five minutes!" She mimicked it in her head and swung her legs over the side of her body. Stupid auditorium, she thought nastily as she slowly stood up on her burned feet. She stared in disgust. This was ridiculous.

Josephine glanced at the clothes and wobbled her way into the bathroom after snatching them. With difficulty once more, causing her to grumble more, she was dressed. Josie glanced at her ensemble; a t-shirt with the words "Riverwood Academy" on it and a pair of black pants. They had to be joking. This was absolutely ridiculous. She came out and looked around for another option without success. Furious, Josephine smoothed down her hair and went to exit the clinic when Xander entered.

His presence surprised her. This meant he had survived. Did this mean her sister had as well? Although she hated him with a passion as well, it was not as intense as her hatred for Terraline. He at least had some usefulness in the world. Besides, he was almost as good as she was in being dark. It was easy to mess with Terry but not her brother. She eyed him reproachfully, then finally said with a tone of mock derision, “Guess you survived. Congratulations. You can get your gold medal at the orientation.”
________________________________________________________________________

Ellowyn stared at the boy who asked, “What is this a side-show? You people have nothing better to do huh?” He sighed, brushing between the boy and girl to Josie's room. Ellie scoffed- that was not true. Being chased by this monstrous boy was not on her list of activities. Anger coursed through her; but a quick hand on her shoulder that belonged to Sage, was enough to quiet her down.

“I’m really sorry. We didn’t mean to intrude – we just entered the nearest room without looking. “I... I am really sorry. It was my fault. Not his. I – yeah, we’ll go.” Ellowyn doubled backwards out of the room hastily and slunk down the hallway. She felt awful for entering the room by mistake, but where else could she go? Drew had been on her tail and she was panic-stricken. This was never going to stop haunting her; not even in the afterlife, it would haunt her. She could barely hear the voice of the intercom; it something about going to the auditorium.

The guilt from her past as well as now began to reoccur; Ellowyn’s breathing became quick, her hands sweaty, and her heart rate faster than normal. It was never going to end. She could not drag anyone else into this. Poor Sage was involved now due to her. She bit her lip. She found an empty hallway and grabbed her head, perching on a ledge. Bits and pieces of the memory began to resurface much to her dismay.

The wail of a siren – the screams of people, the rushing wind around her. A woman’s hysterical cry, then a man’s hoarse voice whispering despairing words of apologies; Ellowyn’s stark expression that morphed into horror when –

“Ellowyn! Ellowyn! ELL-O-WYN!” Her head snapped up, nearly snapping her neck. Ellie’s wide green eyes which had been stuck open, were now fixated on the figure above her. The creamy blonde hair that had been neatly placed, was now a disarray around her head. The sweat protruding from her head and hand, were making noticeable marks around her. She quickly folded them together and then stuffed them in her pockets nervously. She had not noticed, but she had jumped backwards and landed a few spots from where she was originally. “Ellowyn,” Sage’s voice was calmer now and soothing as he knelt beside her and took her clammy hands. “You’re okay. Breathe in and out, darling.”
Ellowyn nodded, focusing hard on taking deep breathes and reminding herself the same thing. She was okay – for the most part. It was over. Gone. Still, it did not feel like it was over. Nevertheless, she smiled at Sage shakily and nodded. “Of course it is. Thanks, bud. Let’s go.” He straightened up and offered her his hand, which she accepted. Ellowyn stood up, and began making her way down to the auditorium with Sage beside her.
______________________________________________________________________________________

As Sage escorted Ellowyn to the auditorium, he found it increasingly difficult to focus. He was worried over Ellowyn, and every few seconds he would glance at her. She was impassive now and strong as ever. It was if nothing had happened. He knew she was able to act strong and cherry, but deep down, he knew it wasn’t true. What had happened to her was not something that would disappear quickly. He sighed quietly.

His thoughts traveled back to the sister and brother. What was their story? They looked as if they had gone through hell and back. God only knew what happened. This damn X-Force muddled in the wrong stories and destroyed so many lives. He wish he could put a stop to it. He was tired of seeing gaunt faces at the academy of kids, teens and even adults, whose lives had been permanently destroyed or altered due to them. Sage clenched his fists. He knew to a degree how infuriating it was to this mess.

He forced himself to think of something else. The thought that came next was the beautiful girl in the hospital. She had the prettiest shade of brown hair and the loveliest eyes. Sage wondered if he could talk to the family, especially her. As much as he greeted others and welcomed them, he couldn’t help but feel his gut clutching at the thought. This wouldn’t be as easy, especially with their initial greeting. Sage hoped she would be able to forget it.

Glancing once more at his best friend, he wrapped an arm around her comfortingly. “Over there, let’s go. It’s an opened area.” He told her as he entered the auditorium and scouted for a pair of seats. Ellowyn nodded, slinking towards it gracefully, barely making a noise. He admired how easy it was for her to appear invisible. It was a trait that while he didn’t possess her skill or grace, but felt back at home. Sage bit his lip and then turned his thoughts back to the orientation as the duo sat down.
