(Arcenius region/Moblin City)
"Avery! Avery! Avery!" her adrenaline kicked in when she heard the chanting of her name, she threw her hands up into the air, waving them around wildly as she moved to the ear lusting beat.
"Wooo!" she could hear the howls and whistles being sent her way by the many males watching, admiring the short haired brunette whose curled locks swayed side to side as she continued moving.
She looked down at them with her royal blue memorable eyes, as if casting a spell over them as they began swooning over her shining beauty, a tanned hottie who had an amazing athletically built figure with an oval based face protruding a small nose and naturally thin lips that automatically shaped a captivating smile for everyone to gaze upon.
The entire club was in cheers as they danced to the catchy beat, the colorful stage lights zoomed all around the room, giving enough light to create an exciting atmosphere for everyone inside.
Her eyes were closed as she let herself be swept off by the intense energy of the club, but they quickly shot open as she gasped, staring down at her crystal watch as she read the time.
"Crap! I completely forgot I have school!" she jumped off of the bar counter and rushed out, stopping in front of the entrance as she hissed from the bright light.
"Hey Avery, late again?" She looked at the bouncer with a sheepish smile, nodding as she caught what he had thrown her.
"Yeah, but luckily I have you to help me, thanks for the energy drink!" she rushed over and pressed the button of her car remote, opening the trunk of her dark blue sports car where she pulled out a white uniform, putting it over her light blue jean shorts and black tank top while keeping her ankle boots on.
He waved to the brunette who took off, racing through the streets as a trail of burnt rubber smoke was left behind, he chuckled, shaking his head along with a tiny smile, "That girl lives a little too much for excitement".
(St. Arcana's/Infirmary)
"Nurse!" he kicked open the door, startling the older pink haired woman who was seated quietly at her desk.
"Young man! What is the-". she was pissed, but stopped midway when she had noticed the girl in his arms, she looked weak and drained.
"Oh dear, What happened?" she rushed over and placed her palm on the girl's head before pulling it back in retaliation.
"She's burning up!" he nodded, staring at the woman sternly as she hurried over to one of the beds, pulling off the covers as she instructed him to lay her down.
"I don't know what happened, one minute we- I mean she had a headache and then the next she passed out with this fever".
She placed a thermometer in the girl's mouth, "Well it's a good thing you did, her fever's 101.3".
"Is she going to be ok"? he took a step closer but stopped when the nurse began undressing the young blonde, he quickly looked away before deciding it was best to turn around so he had his back to them.
"She will be, with the right medication and a good rest, she should be better by tomorrow".
He sighed in relief, "That's good….And I'm sorry for bursting in like that Ms…." he stopped when he realized he had no clue who this lady was.
She chuckled, "Ms. Solace, and it's alright, you were only worried for your friends well being".
He coughed, "Actually, I barely just me-".
"Oh my…" he could hear her gasp quietly, being tempted to turn but didn't want to risk being thought of as a pervert for looking at an undressed unconscious girl.
He didn't care, spinning around fully to come in sight of something horrific, Ms. Solace scooted backwards, putting her hands over her mouth as she continued staring.
"W-what is this?" she whispered.
His eyes narrowed into a dark glare, gazing intensely at the many markings and bruises covering the green eyed girls body, some of them were scars, long time wounds which had healed already, yet their presence remained as a memory carved on her.
"What kind of sick bastard would do this". his hands clenched into a fist, the longer he stared, the more his anger and desire to find the culprit behind this increased, he didn't know the girl, but just the thought of knowing that someone was hurting this innocent person was enough reason for him.
(Alice)
"Here we are my lady". they opened the door, allowing her to go through as she entered her new chamber, it was more of a towering room located at the peak of the highest building of the school, a secluded area where only Staff and the headmasters are allowed access within.
She stood at the center, gazing upon the large room which was designed in an old victorian style, a crystal chandelure hung above her while one side of the room was like a living room, with couches, a coffee table, and a fireplace along with a built in bookcase, while the other side of the room was a bedroom, a large silk sheet covered bed was placed in between a large wardrobe and a vanity mirror with a desk, beside it was a door she presumed to be a bathroom.
Her feet quickly took her to the only thing she found interesting, the balcony patio, she stopped at the rail, gazing out in awe of the beautiful scenery, she could see the entire school as well as beyond into the nearest city, Moblin city.
They placed her luggage on the bed, bowing to the colored haired girl who wasn't staring, "We'll let you settle in, a maid will be bringing you all your meals and if you need anything, please use the phone only". she had ignored their instructions, caring only of the scene as she took notice of the two sides of the school, one side of which was only full with students while the other half was completely empty.
She whirred, leaning forward onto the rail with her palm underneath her chin, "Like a caged bird, when will I be given my freedom…"
An unnerving feeling spiraled down her back, as if something was watching her, she glanced down, seeing a single figure staring back up at her, she couldn't tell who they were, being too far up, they looked like a mere insect to her.
She cringed, ridding the same feeling away as she looked down once more, finding the figure gone. She quickly turned to the door when a knock was heard, staring in fright yet ready to fight if anything came towards her.
The doorknob turned and the door slowly creaked open until nothing was revealed to be on the other side, having another wrenching feeling within, she felt she shouldn't go near it at all, but went ahead and did so.
"Hello?" she stepped out into the hall where only her room was placed at the rest of the wall space was occupied by portraits of people she had no knowledge of.
"Alice". a hushed whisper blew past her ear, sounding faint yet enough for her to hear, she quickly whipped her head to all directions, yet she was the only one around.
She followed the whispers all down the hall, coming closer and closer to the end where one of the suited man stood guard, quickly grabbing her by the arm.
"R-release me!" she fought to pull herself away but he had a tight grip on her.
"You are not allowed to leave the chamber Lady Alice, you must return at once". he forcefully dragged her back into the hall, yet stopped when she grabbed a hold of his chin, his eyes met with hers which began fading into a pure white glow.
"Shhh…" his eyes slowly fell until they were completely closed, his grip on her had immediately loosened while his body fell to the ground unconsciously.
"Sleep well". she murmured, regaining the rainbow hue back in her eyes as she calmly strolled back down the hall.
(Out front)
She continued turning back, keeping a lookout to see if anybody had followed her out, her path was blocked however when she crashed against something hard, falling harshly on the ground as she looked up, finding a pair of light steel colored eyes staring her down, she felt mesmerized, as if staring into another world.
"Are you ok?" she was taken aback by how polite this guy was, holding his hand out towards her which she took, allowing herself to be helped up on her feet which made her realize just how short she was compared to this mysterious figure.
He was tall, and incredibly good looking, he had all the right features in all the right places with hair as bright as silver which reached down to his waist and a sharp grin that was quickly imprinted on her mind, becoming slightly hard to erase as it continued repeating. He had a dark diamond piercing on his left ear, shining brightly under the sun as it blinded her for a quick second with it's glint. However she became aware of the mysterious black markings surrounding his entire neck, like ancient symbols and encryptions which appeared to also be all over his right arm.
She nodded, "Yeah, I'm sorry for bumping into you like that".
He shook his head, still having a soft hold on her hand, "It's ok, I'm just glad you're not hurt".
Her cheeks began flaring upon hearing his comment, yet the sight of his soothing lip curving gesture had only charmed her more, who was this mysterious person? Reality had hit her, who was he? And why was he in front of this building? The building which was off limits to everyone except the headmasters and staff.
She slipped her hand away from his, returning a somewhat assertive gaze back to the silver haired man who looked at her curiously, "Who are you?"
His smile faded, something she knew would lead to a disaster but was too late to avoid when he had grabbed her by the neck, crushing it hard in his grip as her breaths quickly shortened. Wheezing and coughing only escaped her lips as well as the tears being forced out of her eyes.
"G-guh…..crsh…" she grabbed onto his arm, unable to remove it as he continued choking her.
"I am the future King of this world, and your worst nightmare…." his eyes had turned a deep blood red with a yellow crescent shaped pupil, sending her body into shock.
"W-what…..are…...you….talking….ab-about…." her teeth were clenched tightly, making a grinding noise as he choked her harder.
"Your very existence is a nuisance to me, and a foil to my plans, but luckily for me, you just had to leave the only sanctuary protecting you from someone like me, and now, you'll get the pleasure of dying by my own hands, heh, you should feel honored". he released a menacing and hollow laugh, shoving her against the wall of the building which had forced a grunt out of her.
"D-don't do this, please". she breathed out weakly, her head swaying side to side slowly as she was beginning to lose consciousness.
He chuckled deviously within her ear, "But I really want to".
"Then…..you give me no choice….". she closed her eyes, remaining silent as he laughed again, finding her pitiful.
Her words moved silently before a whisper was released into the wind, "Obscura Bellator".
A dark ring appeared on the stone ground, growing larger and larger as symbols began rotating around it followed by a large pentagram tracing itself in the center, dark fog rose up and a figure appeared behind it.
"What the hell?" his golden colored eyes quickly met with hers, feeling as if she was staring directly into the moonlight.
He was tall, and extremely handsome, having midnight black shaggy hair that stopped at jaw length, a single strand of yellow blonde hair ran down on the front of his bangs, his skin was fairly pale while his face was perfectly sculpted in all the right places, she took notice of the black cross earring dangling from his right ear while his pearled white teeth seen through a tiny growl were sharpened from the sides. He wore a black uniform, yet strapped to his back was a black guitar case covered in yellow rings.
"How the hell did I get here? Who are you people?" he took a defensive attitude, becoming alert of what he was seeing.
"Blake!" she shouted.
"How the hell do you know my name? What is this?" he stepped further back, not knowing what to do.
"Lend me your shadows!" she grunted when she was thrown to the ground by the mysterious silver haired man.
He looked at her in shock, "How do you….."
"Please!" she screamed when he had kicked her in the stomach, causing blood to spurt out of her mouth and onto the ground.
"...O-ok" he looked down at the ring he was still in, allowing the symbols he saw to be imprinted all around his body as he was taken under control.
"D-do it". she mumbled weakly, remaining down on the floor as she had little energy to even move at all.
His eyes began glowing as black ears sprouted from his head, "Ngh…". he grunted from the painful transformation, looking behind to where a tail was now hanging out.
*Protect the priestess*
He became alert by the mysterious voice in his head, now turning towards Alice who rolled over on her back, staring up at the sky with a distant look in her eyes, as if she was drifting off.
"I've hated you since the very beginning, now die!" a dark sword slid out from within his palm, engulfed in a powerful dark essence which he brought up over the Priestess who had not even the slightest reaction.
"Agh!" he quickly brought his weapon down only for it to be stopped midway by Blake who caught it in between both of his palms.
"Meddling runt! Stay out of this!" he forced more pressure, trying to bring his sword down only for the raven haired boy to glare in response venomously.
"I don't know what the hell is going on but as far as I know, you're the one who needs to stay out of this and leave her alone!" his hair shot up rapidly as a vortex of wind kicked up around him and Alice, dark shadow wisps appeared out from it, forming into giant monstrous beasts which began attacking the mysterious man.
He fought them off, slicing through each shadow with his blade, leaving them to faint in a dimming blue flame. Two giant hands appeared out from the ground beneath him, grabbing a hold of the silver haired man who was picked up into the air, being thrown harshly against a tree only to be split in half.
"Finish him off". she whispered, still staring into the sun's light blankly, her command voicing through the winds for him to hear.
"Yes my priestess". he snapped his fingers together, sparking a small glowing trail to appear in front of him and race all across toward his opponent, just as he gained consciousness, a giant explosion caught him, dragging him down to the opening crevice where hundreds of shadows rose up, grabbing a hold of him as they pulled him in even further.
He grunted from the powerful force of the shadows, yet he left Blake in surprise when he shot his hand towards the fissure, his eyes glowing a menacing red as the shadows disappeared but then reappeared, only for them to be trapped as the fissure closed.
"My powers haven't developed fully, at least not yet, but when they do, we'll finish this battle, you and I, and then, it will only be the priestess…...make good use of your final moments on this planet,
Prince Lucian, until then, my dear repulsive opposite".
He brushed his outfit of dirt, leaving behind a trail of echoing dark laughter with his figure slowly sinking into a dark portal.
"Prince Lucian?" he was left confused by those words, now feeling the bound of Alice's control over him disappear, the ears and tail disappeared completely, only leaving his normal self to watch a wounded Alice still on the floor.
He hurried over to her, kneeling beside the young priestess who closed her eyes, opening them back up soon after only to stare at him, emotion detected behind her gaze unlike earlier.
"T-thank you….for saving me…." a tiny smile formed over the dried blood stain on the corner of her lips.
He stared confusingly, panicking as he didn't know what to do with her, "W-who are you? What did you do to me? I-i…" his lips were paused by her hand weakly trembling over them.
"So many questions you must have I presume, but for now, I will only share this with you…...My name is Alice Sinclair…...and you Blake….carry the one hundred and ninety seventh curse, a manipulator of shadows and the beings from the underworld who leads with the power of the moon".
"Curse? one hundred and ninety seventh…..just exactly how many are out there? Who was that man? Why was he trying to kill you? What the hell is going on? He called me Prince Lucian! Why?!"
"So many secrets…...you…..have…...yet….to…..lear-". she fell into a faint spell, leaving the raven haired boy at the edge of suspense.
"Tell me!" he grabbed her in his arms, shaking her repeatedly until a tight grip caught hold of his arm, he looked up, finding Alex staring him down with a leer.
"Release her, or I won't hesitate to slice your arm off". he quickly removed his hand, watching as Alex carefully picked the girl up into his arms, having a firm hold on her as she comfortably moved around in his grasp.
"Who are you? And who is she?" he stood up, coming face to face with Alex as they matched heights.
"She's the most important person you and I will ever know…...and me? I'm her protector".
Hearing those words had sparked irritation within him quickly, he grabbed Alex by his unifiorm collar, pulling him in as they clashed with venomous glares, "If you're her protector, then where the hell were you when she was on the verge of being slaughtered!"
"That's none of your concern, however, I was lucky enough to see a vision of Alice and came as soon as I could…..you might have saved her….but now you'll continue on with your life as if nothing happened and forget this entire incident, especially Alice….forget everything about today, and erase her from your memory, permanently, understand"?
"And what makes you think I will?" he mocked Alex who pushed him away.
"Because if you don't, I'll come and find you, and make sure to rip out that tongue of yours so you can never speak a word about this to any body, got it?!"
Fear stood in his eyes, yet his expression remained strong, hoping to not show any intimidation towards the white haired boy.
"I have no reason to talk about what happened earlier, but that girl, she's said too much for me to just forget, I've had questions wandering in my mind since I was a child…...and now I believe she might be the holder to my answers, and I won't rest until she tells me what I've been waiting for".
Alex chuckled, turning his back to Blake who watched him make his way up the steps, "You will only be wasting your own time, because I won't allow another human or soul get a foot anywhere near her".
A shadow rose up in front of him, stopping his tracks as he held onto Alice even more, he turned his head back towards the raven haired boy who had his palm up, controlling the shadow that had stopped him.
"Clearly you haven't met someone like me then…...I live in the shadows, and rule the night, so try to find me…...if you even can".
His body turned into a shadow, sinking swiftly into the ground where it slithered away, "I'll meet with Alice again, count on it".
(Meanwhile)
"That prick…...who the hell does he think he is?" he couldn't shake off the events from earlier, still having both Tobias and Scarlett on his mind.
"What do you want Jasper". coldness was detected behind her tone.
"I've come to gather the information your father said you would have, where is it?" He stumbled upon something he found quite interesting, two figures standing behind a tree in a secluded area.
He hid on the other side, able to hear all the things they were saying, "Tell the old man that I have nothing to give him, if he wants it so badly then he should do it, but tell him to leave me out of this".
His head peeked around the sides, catching a glimpse of the two figures talking, his eyes grew when he had laid his gaze on something beautiful, a girl, she was quite short, his guess being about five three, she had a glowing tan hue illuminating through her skin with the lightest and warmest brown eyes he had ever seen. Her hair flowed to her petite waist, being a captivating sunny blonde, fringe bangs covering her left eye which touched her sharp nose.
"It would be a shame if I return to your father with no new information, wouldn't you think? But….there's always a chance that I make something up to him….that way you can stay in your precious school…." A smirk crawled over his lips, his blue eyes lusted over the blonde who glared in return with disgust, he combed his light brown hair cooly, moving his fingers down where they began twisting the diamond stud in his right ear, waiting for her response.
"What is it that you want?" she demanded, slowly taking a step back for precaution.
He came closer, grabbing her framed chin which he held up towards his face, not a bad looking guy, maybe three years older than her, yet it was the crippling and disturbing look in his eyes that made him a creep. A stifled laugh escaped his lips when he wrapped his other arm around her curved waist, pulling her directly against his body.
"Ugh". she scowled as she pressed her hands against his palm, rolling her eyes and trying to push him away but proved effortless.
"I've worked for your father since I was a kid, when I was little and he brought me in, I was always the one to watch over you like a sibling….but never once had I thought of you that way…...it was much more than that….tell your father that you have chosen a suitable husband, me".
"Marriage?" he whispered, surprised by how the conversation quickly escalated.
She erupted into laughter, wiping away the tear from her eye as she sighed, "You want me to marry you? I won't even marry the guy my father has chosen for me! And he's a powerful person, What makes you think you're any better?"
His lips were only inches away from her own, she quickly froze up, staring into his cold blue eyes, "Because I'm the only escape you'll have from that man, your father trusts me more than anyone, I'm like the son he always wanted, one word from me and your life at this school will be over in a flash….so what will it be? Dear Faye, do we have an engagement? Or not".
"..." he became silent when she spat in his face, James looked stunned as well, not expecting something like that from someone so pure looking.
"I'd rather die than marry someone like you, or any guy like my father for that fact! I am not a trophy to be fighting over, I will make my own choices and choose my own fate, so go ahead and tell my father, because I'm done being his pawn".
*Wow, seems like she's gone through some tough shit, but being forced to marry? Even I would object to that, what kind of father does this girl have?*
He turned back, still seeing that she was in this Jasper guys grasp, being held tighter to the point where she whimpered when his grip around her waist hardened from anger.
"Faye, you have never been a pawn for the boss, he always referred to you as the queen, the queen who would take over his empire with a strong King by her side, and that King should be me, so whether you like it or not, I'll have the boss's favor in no time, with or without your consent, and then, we'll be husband and wife".
She giggled in a taunting manner, "I'll disappear before that even happens, because I will always be one step ahead of you and my father, believe me Jasper, I am capable of so much more if it involves my freedom".
His lips surfaced over to her soft neck, "And believe me when I say, once I am given your hand, I'll be sure to chain them so you'll never leave my sight".
"Ngh!" she held her breath and whimper when he bit her, pressing his teeth harder onto her skin.
"Get away from her!" she opened her eyes, turning over to James who had stepped out from behind, his hands balled into fists as a menacing leer formed in his eyes.
A red and purple mark remained over her skin where he bit her, aching and throbbing uncomfortably for her, "Well well, what do we have here? Is this why you're so attached to the school? Because you have a secret boyfriend?"
She flailed in his grasp, "No I do-".
He cut her off, taking a step forward as he snatched the busty girl away, now holding onto her as her cheeks reddened, "Yeah and what of it? I should fry your ass for leaving a hickey on my girl!"
"H-hickey?" she didn't know what it meant, just rubbing the surface of the bruised spot on her neck where it stinged upon contact.
Jasper remained unconvinced, watching as Faye seemed distant from what was going on and then towards James who held onto the blonde, seeming hesitant as he tried not having his arm touch her large breasts.
"I don't believe you". he smirked at them, crossing his arms as both Faye and James looked at one another, just as lost as to what to do next.
His eyes narrowed even more, "Well then maybe this will make your thick head see that we are".
"Huh?" she looked onto him, seeing the stern expression on his face as he cupped her cheek firmly, bringing their lips together with a bang, her eyes shot open as well as Jasper's, darkness and hatred raging through his head as he continued watching their lips be together.
"So it is….the boss will not be happy, but rest assured, this isn't the end, you and I will be married, and if I have to get rid of him to do so, I'll have no problem doing it, let that mark be a reminder that you are mine, and only mine".
He kept their lips together, watching from the corner of his eye as Jasper left, waiting until he could no longer see him where he had released Faye from there lip contact.
"It's ok now, he's go-". he was pushed away, now falling to the ground where his eyes settled up towards the blonde who had her arm over her mouth, "How dare you! Do you have any idea what you've done!"
"Yeah, I saved you". he snapped back.
"No! You just killed me! Once my father finds out, I'll be dragged out of this school in chains! Thanks alot!" she ran off, leaving a confused James who got blinded by something bright, he looked down at the grass, noticing a gold ring with a ruby on top, had she dropped it?
He sighed, throwing himself back on the grass where he held the ring over his face, "I didn't mean to…...I was just trying to help".
(Front of the school)
She parked behind the corvette, gaining plenty of attention from the students who recognized that blue luxury vehicle.
"There she is!"
"It's Avery!"
"Alright! She finally came to school!"
A crowd began forming as the excitement build among them, they waited for her to step out, "It's the Wonderland Queen!"
The door opened and she stepped out, embracing the cheers of all her admirers, "Long time no see, eh?" she sent them a wink, causing them to get even more riled up.
"Avery!" everyone stopped and turned to the dominant voice coming from her left side, a sandy blonde haired male exited out of another black luxury car, glaring chillingly towards the short haired girl who smiled sheepishly, hoping to ignore the daggering stare of his dark green eyes. Girls couldn't get enough of him, his glowing tanned skin, and muscular build was a real dream for them, put his features all together and he was there perfect man, at least visually.
"H-hey Leon, how's my little brother doing?" she rubbed the back of her head anxiously.
"It's Leon!"
"He's so hot!"
"Their so lucky to be related!"
"You haven't shown up to school in three days and that's all you have to say?" he crossed his arms, staring the blue eyed girl down as she tried thinking up of an excuse.
"I'm here now, aren't I?" she punched him playfully on the arm yet he rolled his eyes, already knowing how his sister was.
"You should at least tell me where you're at…..I can't think properly knowing you're out there somewhere, possibly in danger". she stifled a laugh, making him frown as she ruffled his hair.
"You worry too much, I'm perfectly fine, besides, shouldn't it be the oldest who worries and not the youngest?"
He shook his head, placing his hand over her head softly, "You're my sister, I'll always be worried because I care about you".
"Thanks Leon, but you and I both know that we're not really related". a saddened expression quickly formed on her, but she was quickly pulled away from it when he flicked her forehead.
"Related or not, you're still my sister". a smile formed this time on her, as well as his.
"Aww! They are so cute!"
"Why can't my little brother be like that!"
They chose to ignore the crowds rowdy comments, now making there way over to the entrance of the school, with eyes following them all the way.
"Excuse me". Leon had bumped into somebody beside him, taking a quick peek only to turn fully with his mouth slowly dropping.
"..." she said nothing, but remained silent as she nodded towards him, allowing him to view her beauty even further, she was like a life size walking doll. Her hair flowed down like beautiful waves of teal and darker teal at the tips, her eyes were like clear ice crystals, she had flawless porcelain skin and naturally tinted lips that became tempting upon staring at. Her figure was something that most girls would envy and pray to have, small hips and a largish bust, but even more amazing was the nice structure of her diamond shaped face, with wide eyes and a small nose, she was literally a living doll.
He couldn't speak, but felt the ever present haughty aura surrounding her, all he could do was watch her pass by and disappear into the crowd, a flock of cold air hitting him and snapping him out of his thoughts.
Avery took notice of his behavior, now quirking an eyebrow towards him, "Leon? What's wrong?"
He shook his head, "I…..I think I just fell in love".
"What?!"
