Disclaimer: Still own nothing but Celine and ideas. Man, this is getting old…
Sylar
I thought before that this place was abandoned. I was wrong. I'm on the staircase right now, watching her play her violin. I feel hypnotized by its sound and by the beauty of her hands moving the bow across the strings. This violin, to her, this girl, is an art. Probably her very life.
She's nice looking to be entirely honest. Her hair is chocolate colored and her eyes, when they're opened, are emerald green and shine like so in the candlelight. She's short, but not too short, and displays all signs of being beautiful inside and out. She looks a little too skinny for her age, which was about seventeen.
I feel enraptured by her music. Maybe even amazed. Even for a guy like me…it's beautiful. But why is she here? Doesn't she see me here? No…and I prefer it.
I watch as she stops playing and sits down next to the altar steps. She doesn't see me still, but I want to make myself known.
"You play beautifully, miss" I say.
"Um…thanks. Who are you? More importantly, who are you?" she asks.
"Where I am isn't important 'cause I can be anywhere around you".
"Okay then, who are you?".
"Gabriel, but I go by Sylar".
"Sylar?".
"That's right".
"I like it. My name's too plain".
"What is it?" I ask.
"Celine".
I think about it for a few moments. Celine…I replay it in my head over and over again so I can't forget it.
"No it isn't".
"You're just saying that" she accuses.
"I'd never just "say it", Celine".
"Why?".
"Because it's the truth".
"Alright, are you always like this, or am I just lucky?".
"Just lucky I guess".
"I wish I knew where you were. I wanna see the face behind the voice".
I want to show myself right now, but I can't bring myself to it. Why? I don't even know. Maybe I'm afraid. I know what you're thinking. Me, afraid? It can't be, but I am. I just don't know why.
"You wouldn't want to know me if you knew what I've done" I say simply.
"Yeah, I know that feeling".
"How?" she has officially caught my attention.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" she answers.
"Try me" I dare.
"I can control water with my emotions".
So…she has a power. Why wasn't I detecting it? I mentally kick myself for that. But still, how can I not have sensed it? Is her power useful? How does it work? She doesn't seem to like it. It's self explanatory, so I know a little about how it works, the basics. But what about the in-between details? Will she tell me those, or would I have to find out the hard way?
"How does it work?" I ask.
Celine smiles slightly. "I feel a powerful emotion like rage, sadness, joy, sometimes even fear and then something explodes. Next thing I know, I'm surrounded by water, which I can manipulate with my hands".
"Like in that show Avatar? Like water bending" I conclude.
"Yeah" Celine nods.
I don't really know what happens then. I guess I slip, but the next thing I know, I'm tumbling down the stairs and now I'm at the base, flat on my ass. I'm injured, I know it…again. If that isn't bad enough, it sends Celine following after me. She finds me and we just stare at each other for a moment…
A/N: Well, hope that'll help a little. Next chapter: Celine comes up with a plan to help Sylar. R and R please! PLEASE!!!!
