How's the daylight?

I closed my phone, distancing it from myself by tossing it on the bed in front of me. Eden, my roomie, raised an eyebrow but didn't comment. It was an old habbit that I've done for years, and she was more or less used to it.

Message Recieved!

Brittany-

Boring as hell.

Laughing at the response, I tossed my phone once again, this time onto the nightstand, and set about cleaning my flute. I didn't respond, figuring she's eventually get caught by my old and her current teacher.

In a way, I felt bad. The entire group had been Marked, except for Brittany. We—Circe, Cleo, Eden, Kimi, and myself, that is—had all relocated to the nearest House of Night, in Baltimore. Sighing softly, I closed the lid to my case and flopped backward on my bed and decided to sleep. It was the middle of the day, anyway.

Classes were dreadfully slow.

I blamed it on being Thursday. Cue random stares.

I was wound up slightly when I woke up. The feeling one gets when something's going to happen, but you don't know what.

Ignoring it was relatively easy at breakfast, but classes were dreadful. When we were finally allowed to go to lunch, I ran as fast as I could, dodging the cliques and milling mass of students.

Being with my friends was rather calming, and the knot in my stomach loosened a bit. Well, it was loosened enough to get through my next class. The knot tightened and loosened all throughout Physiology and I was happy to be going to our last "class." I skipped most of the way to Fencing, trying to look as bubbly as normal.

A flash of familiar reddish hair stopped me in my tracks.

"Brittany!" I shout, exuding excitement. The group was together! I ran over, the knot dissipating completely, and almost ran into the taller girl.

"Kaine," is her reply. I'm too excited to notice her response right away.

"When'd you get here? And that's an epic name!" I say, registering the name a beat after I ask. We start walking toward Fencing, slowly. Mainly because, as excited I am that Britta- Kaine is here, I still don't particularly want to be late.

"Yesterday: Marked during English. Where are you off to?" she responds.

"Fencing," I say, grinning slightly.

"That's what I have! We'll have to compare the rest of our schedules later!"

"Okay let's go!" I laugh, and take off running toward the class, figuring she'll be able to keep up with me.

Andus introduced Kaine and then told us to start. A newer friend I had made, Alice, challenged me to a friendly duel that she won, taking advantage of my distraction.

The distraction? Kaine was fencing.

And she was winning. Every match, she would win, dodging the opponent blows gracefully. However, as skilled as she seemed, I had to try to stop her when she started strutting towards Devante, a warrior in training. I told her she didn't stand a chance, but she didn't listen and challenged the boy anyway. I groaned and literally facepalmed. Alice turned at the sound and then looked to where Kaine was walking toward Devante.

Okay. So, I'm rewriting this as a parallel. It's shorter, less ramble (kinda), and actually follows a story line! I already have the first few chapter written, so I won't fall too far behind on updating. Maybe once every two or three days? Or more. I don't know.

The only character that is mine (so far) is Tilla Ceol. The story line is basically from Creager's Kaine's Story. It's just a different view point. I own Tilla and that is all.
