[ROLEPLAY CLOSED] - Once Upon A Time (Restart)

Aurora Rose and Freya Beauchamp
The Moors ~ Thirteen Years Ago

Aurora lay in her bed high up in her tower, the wind whistling through the window, playing with the curtains. The small princess tossed and turned in her bed, whimpering. Nightmares had been disturbing the girl's sleep since Maleficent had stolen her away and brought her to the castle. She often cried out in the middle of the night for her mother and father as she had done the day she was taken. Aurora finally escaped her nightmare with a loud scream as she sat up. She looked around the room as she shook, pulling her blanket up to her nose. Her eyes scanned the dark room for the monsters from her dreams. Her eyes saw the shadows of the curtains on the wall making frightening shapes and screamed once more before she pulled the blanket over her head entirely, hiding away. She sat there, her arms wrapped tightly around her legs, her blanket drapped over her as she whispered, "Go away. Go away. Go away," Tears poured from the small girl's eyes as she tried to will away the shadows that danced on her walls...

Crossing her legs under the desk she shifted in her seat her back straightening as she leant forward her eyes lowering down to the piece of paper that she was using her fingers moving the quill over the top of it leaving her words behind in bright green lettering, reaching out she carefully dipped the tip of the quill back into the ink her face scrunching up and her shoulders hunching over in slight annoyance as she once more heard the shrill screams of the young girl she had taken in as her ward allerting her to the fact that there was going to be another night in which the peace of the castle was to be interupted... How someone so small could make such a noise was beyond her, and even after putting her up in the highest tower away from all the other rooms she was still able to hear it... While she wouldn't admit it, she was quite impressed by the set of lungs on the little child.

Groaning in frustration knowing that she wouldn't be able to get her work done until the child was settled and once more sleeping she lowered her quill bringing herself back to her feet before she moved away from the desk her fingers reaching out to glide over the books closest to her before she took hold of one pulling it down as a thick plume of purple smoke surrounded her whisking her away from her study and up into the girls room, "Enough... And no, I will not go away. Little beastie, if anyone is to be going anywhere it will be you if you aren't careful..."

The lump jumped when Maleficent spoke up, the small child's heart pounded in her chest as the woman spoke. She shook her head under the blankets, causing strands of hair to escape from her braid and go every which way. She spoke from under the blankets, "Not you... The monsters," She pointed to the wall that the shadows had been on fron under her blanket, "O-Oogie Boogie sent monsters," She said, terror in every syllable as she cried more.

Sighing almost inaudibly she stood stock still her eyes locked on the rather large lump in the blanket that she knew was the young princess hiding away from whatever it was that had frightened her, turning her gaze away she glanced around the room her free arm coming up as she sweeped it around above her head the action causing the room to change from the dark decor to that which the child would be more used to, the walls brightening as toys of all shapes and sizes began to pop up around them the once dark and scary looking curtains changing into something heavier though brighter so that they wouldn't be blown about while keeping the wind from entering the room. Crossing over the room she reached out taking the blanket off from over her face as the bed changed underneath her becoming a large and beautiful four-poster bed complete with curtains, "Enough child... Are you happy now? If yes, then go to sleep, I have work I need to do."

Aurora heard the woman sigh and rested her head on her knees. The two sat in near silence, the only noise being the sniffles coming from Aurora under the blankets. Suddenly the blankets were being pulled away and Aurora looked up to see Maleficent looking down at her. Slowly, she let her wet eyes scan the room again as she looked over the new toys and decor. She reached one hand out and took hold of the curtain, "Will this keep the monsters away?" She asked as her eyes returned to looking up at Maleficent, "Will you keep the monsters away? Are monsters scared of you? Cause you've got magic?" She used the back of her hand to wipe away her tears, "Are you scared of monsters?"

Straightening her back in slight surprise Maleficent furrowed her eyebrows together her soft pink lips parting ever so slightly as she tried to sort through the questions the young girl was asking her carefully chosing her words as she tried her best to answer them though why she was doing so in the first place was far beyond her, "Both..." Turning her gaze to the curtains she lifted her hand up letting her fingers glide over the material causing it to sparkle like the stars in the sky, "Both child. Monsters will not come for you as long as you are in the safety of my charge and as long as you have these curtains surrounding your bed..."

Bringing her hand back in to the book she turned lowering herself down onto the edge of the bed her legs crossing as she looked over the small child her hands folding neatly over the leather bound cover in her lap, "I am scared of monsters child... Though my monsters are a lot different to the ones that you are afraid of... My monsters, are ones that you will never have to face, not if I can help it."

Aurora looked at Maleficent as she spoke explaining that she too was afraid of monsters. When she finised, Aurora tossed her blanket off her shoulders and backed off of the bed. She rose onto her tippy toes and untied the first curtain from the post and let it hang down before she ran around and put down the rest until they were completely surrounding the bed. When she finished, Aurora pushed aside the curtain and grabbed onto the blanket of the high bed and pulled herself on before she ensured that the curtain returned to its spot. She looked up at Maleficent before she sat down in front of her, "There... Now the monsters won't come for you either."

The girl was frightened of Maleficent but she was also curious about her. Lots of people at home were really scared of her and Aurora didn't know why... Maleficent could keep monsters away... She looked over the woman's face for moment, "You're really pretty.... Why are people scared of you?"

Raising her eyebrow her head turning slowly as she watched as the young girl moved about the bed lowering the curtains so that they draped around them causing her to lift her legs up resting them on the bed as she waited to see what it was that the child had in store for her the kind words leaving her lips causing the Queen to become slightly taken aback, sliding the book to the side she let it and her palm rest upon the matress her head tilting to the side as she waited watching with a new found curiousity for the girl her eyes softening a tinge at the unexpected compliment that she had been given, "Child... People in this world are scared of what they do not know nor understand... Most wish to live their lives in such ways and therefore do not and will not change. I just happen to be the one thing they fear... In their opinion, I am the root of all nightmares."

Aurora shook her head furiously when Maleficent said people believed her to be the root of all nightmares, causing more strands to slip from her braid and stick up every which way, "Nuh uh, Oogie Boogie is the... root of all nightmares. He's scary.... His monsters go like this," She rose her hands above her head and made a face that she deemed scary before dropping her hands and looking up at Maleficent, "You're not scary," She scrunched up her nose, "Not like him, at least..."

She crossed her legs and yawned, "Can you stay with me? So the monsters don't come... for you?" She added, trying to act braver than she really was, "Who knows what will happen if you go out there... Mr. Boogey man could come for you and gobble you right up!"

Closing her eyes she lifted her hand up to cover her lips unable to help herself from chuckling at the small girls words about the man she wasn't very fond of herself, he was immature... Childish... More than Aurora was, and far worse when he threw one of his many temper tantrums, "I will be sure to pass on your critique the next time I see him. But remember what I have told you, there are no monsters... Not even Oogie Boogie, who will hurt you while you are in my care. No man will lay a finger on my little ward..."

Pursing her lips slightly she turned her head looking over at the door before she tore her gaze away once more returning it to the young princess sitting in front of her, "I will stay until you have fallen into a peaceful slumber, I still have work that I must do... Now, come on. Lay down, under the blankets." Lifting her hand up she flicking her wrist gently watching the flames of the candles in the room dim slightly though still leaving enough light for the two of them to see each other, "You say that I am pretty. If you wish to be pretty as well, then you must sleep when you are told to. Like you're being told to now."

Pulling back the blankets, Aurora slid under them and laid down as she was asked. She looked up at her from the pillow as she told her she had to sleep when she was told. She quickly closed her eyes and lay there in silence for several moments before she whispered, "I can't sleep..." She opened her eyes again and looked up at Maleficent. Her eyes flicked down to the book the woman had brought into the room with her, "Can you read to me? My mommy used to read to me..." She looked up at the Queen, "Please?"

Moving her body after a few moments of the girl having closed her eyes she placed the ball of her foot against the ground her body stopping in its tracks as she heard the soft voice speaking to her once again this time asking her whether she could stay and read to her rather than just staying in silence as she waited for the girl to sleep, "I-... Oh, alright, if it will get you to sleep the night through..."

Shifting her position on the bed she leant back against the bed head pulling the book back into her lap before she sighed opening it up to the first page her voice softer than normal as she began to read, "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book', thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?'-..."

Lifting her free hand up she ran her fingers through her hair pushing it back through the gap between her horns allowing them to keep her long dark brown locks from falling back down over her face, "..So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly, a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her..."

A smile play on little Aurora's lips as Maleficent agreed to reading to her. She looked up at her as she shifted positions and opened the book to start reading. The little Princess watched her as she read before she scooted under the blankets toward her. She managed to slip under the woman's arm and rest her head against her chest. She looked up at the book she held her eyes scanning over the meaningless words, the young girl learnt very minimally about reading before the Queen had whisked her away. So instead of reading along, the Princess looked over at the little picture of a young girl and a rabbit.

Aurora enjoyed the pictures and was fighting sleep a little to see them all. However, sleep did come as the small girl closed her eyes and curled up against the Queen. She was rocked into her slumber by Maleficent's easy breathing and lulled by her quiet tone. Soon enough, the girl was fast asleep in the arms of her captor.

Spring Break (Horror RP)

Alice nodded her head, "I figured I wasn't the only one who didn't want to go home."

She bit her lip a little when Sophia asked where she was from, "Tennessee... So I'm pretty far from home. It's pretty cold up here too. I had to go out and buy myself a bigger coat," She smiled a little before bending down and grabbing a few more sticks. She was quick and pretty soon her arms were overflowing with firewood. She turned and looked at Sophia, "Alright, I think we got enough. We should head back to the tents."

Tate rolled his eyes as Ray's comment, "I lift enough weights. I'm just saying this girl has got everything and the kitchen sink in here."

He crouched down after that and put up Alice's tent and positioned it so that it was facing the others, creating a small semicircle of tents of the edge of the lake. Elias noticed the two girls arrive shortly after the tents were done and gathered some of the sticks from Alice, "Alright, let's get this fire started. Anyone bring something to start a fire with?"

"Matches or a lighter?" Alice asked before putting the sticks out and pulling both from her bag.

Elias glance toward his brother, alright so maybe she was a little over prepared, "Match will probably be best."

Alice nodded and tossed him the box before she opened her tent and started to move her things and the rest of the sticks inside.

Spring Break (Horror RP)

Alice looked over her shoulder at Sophia when she spoke, thanking her for allowing her to tag along. She gave her a small smile before shrugging, "Letting people tag along was the whole plan... I don't have many... any friends around here... I thought this might be a nice way to meet some people."

She crouched down to the ground and started gathering sticks. She decided it might be best to keep a few in her tent with her as well, just in case it rained. She'd grab enough for a few fires. She straightened and continued walking into the wood, "I really should thank you for coming... I really wouldn't have had the courage to come up here alone and I didn't want to hang around the school for Spring Break."

Elias grabbed his and Tate's tent and laid them out while Tate took to removing Alice's tent from her bag. He picked up at little before grunting, not having expected it to be heavy, "Geez, did this girl pack her entire dormroom? This thing feels like it has a brick in it."

Elias looked over his shoulder as his brother, "What is it too heavy for the jock?" He joked before turning his attention back to carefully threading the poles through the tent's pockets. They had decided they'd just be better off sharing there multi-person tent and having too much room over having to go out and get two new one person tents... Which was fine but it did make setting it up slower than it could have been.

Tate shook his head, "No. I just didn't expect it to be that heavy. Explains why she was walking so slow. This bag is at least half her weight."

Elias laughed, "Just set up her tent without the complaining, will ya?"

Spring Break (Horror RP)

The trees and brush broke away to reveal the large blue lake that sat in the mountains' valley. Alice adjusted her bag on her back as she walked closer to it, her face in awe. She had been looking up pictures of this place since she decided to hike here but they didn't match up to the actual sight. They had started hiking from their school sometime in the early morning and the trip had taken them all day, leaving them to look at the last fading lights of the day. Tate walked passed Alice before coming to a stop and looking over it all, "So this is it?" He asked, his voice giving away his own amazement.

Alice nodded before she took off her backpack. She suddenly felt pounds lighter with the bag sitting on the ground. She turned and looked at the group, "Alright," She said with a grin, "I... I guess we should set up camp with the light we have."

Elias stepped out of the bush and threw his things down next to Alice's, which were quickly joined by Tate's. He crouched down and pulled tent and sleeping bag off of his backpack and looked at the youngest of their group, "Tents and then fire, I think."

Tate shook his head, "If we put of fire building, we won't be able to find stick... Why don't use men build the tents and let the girls find us from firewood."

He looked between Alice and Sophia, "Sound good?"

Vampire Coven

Name:
Angelica

Age:
365

Category:
SS

Appearance

Powers:
Mental Apparitions and Telepathy

Bio:
Angelica was born in the mid 1600s in Austria and was the second child and only daughter to a Count and Countess. There was War in her country at the time but such things meant little to the wealthy. She lived her life blissfully unaware of the death and destruction that was happening in the world around her. When she reached the age of 19, she was murdered and reborn a vampire. Her ward was slayed shortly after her rebirth, leaving her to figure out her new powers on her own. Angelica kept to isolation, interacting with humans only when needing to feed. Her mental state slowly decreased and she slowly grew insane. She often has bouts of insanity and can sometimes appear childish in these moments despite her age.

Personality:
Angelica can be as sweet and pure as her name suggests but there is a cruelty that lies under her skin. Due to her mental state, she often slips into what seems like a completely other persona, a seductive and sadistic alter ego which lands her in a higher rank than Angelica alone might sit in.

Name:
Carmilla

Age:
160

Category:
SSS

appearance

Powers:
Pyrokinesis and Fulgurkinesis

Bio:
Carmilla was only reborn a short while ago, in vampire standards. She was born in France, the daughter of a pair of farmers and their only child. She was the perfect daughter raised well with the manners that would hold up even in the royal court. However, after she was changed, those manners seemed to disappear. She became everything that a girl her age should not be in her era and began to truly live life for the first time. She terrorized people and towns and was chased across Europe just for the hell of it. She has calmed down since her younger years although that fire still lives on in her.

Personality:
Don't be fooled by the smile or flirtatious looks, Carmilla is dangerous. She is hot headed and has a short fuse along with being a little hard head and stubborn as well. There are good sides to her though, she is loyal and cunning as well as sweet natured... when she wants to be. Not to mention, she is always up for a good fight. Every now and again, her old habits sneak up on her before she squashes them back down.

Criminology

Personality:
Tate:
Tate is your typical jock. He plays on any and all varsity teams he can play on and often has students cheering for him in the halls. He is well known and it all goes straight to his ego. Because of this, he can be self centred and a little arrogant at times. However, he does try to back pedal now and again when he catches himself. Sometimes he does just pedal through though.

Elias:
Elias isn't as loud as his brother and has gotten used to living in the shadow of his brother. He doesn't need to be recognized by every third person in the hall and is more than okay with just being with his books. Elias is a pretty wired guy and it isn't hard for him to stress himself out. If it weren't for Tate he would never survive through Exam season.

Strengths:
Tate:
Tate is in good shape due to the amount of sports he plays, making him strong and giving him good endurance.
Elias:
Elias is smart and can read people very well.

Tate is overconfident though this is also a strength it can put him in places that he can't get out of. He
Elias:
Elias sometimes overthinks things and doesn't have the best reflexes.

Reason:
Tate saw the poster and decided that a get away was exactly what Elias needs to relax and forced him to join the group.

Bio:
Tate and Elias are twin brothers that were born into a wealthy family. This caused the two of them to have an abundance of money from a young age and both handled that in different ways. Elias decided that he wanted to use that money to help people where as Tate used it to help himself, to get ahead in life. Despite their young age, both of them have already found ways to live a fulfilled life while they go to school. Elias has even started his own charity that goes toward people who have had to endure stressful scenarios that surround kidnappings and murders as that it was he intends to move forward to as a profession. Tate has always been more relaxed than his brother and spent most of his summers since graduating from high school travelling the world, saying it is practice when he gets into the field he wants.

Over all, the boys have lived the privileged life.
