Heart's Desire

[Runner]

The spell broke when Cade looked up and saw.. Uh-oh. Cade felt his dangerous girl sensor going off again. He knew he couldn't do anything about it, and so he stood up and said, "Hi, new person... Why are you stalking me?"

"Ah... Okay. Well.. Let's go." Blaze began to walk toward the library. When he got out into the hall, he felt the need to ask something random to make the situation less awkward. "Hey Auburn, what year of high school are you in? I know you definitely can't be a freshmen.. Are you a sophomore, a junior or a senior? Me personally, I'm in junior year.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Auburn's eyes widened. "I graduated last year," she stated and looked at Blaze. He looked so grown. She had a hard time believing that he was only a junior. But she didn't mind. Two years was hardly a difference. His maturity level, both physically and mentally, was beyond the eleventh grade anyway, which was why Auburn found it so hard to believe.

Brooke snickered. "I am not stalking you," she said gruffly and stepped into the room. "I was wondering if you might help me with something." Brooke eyed Cade, softly raising an eyebrow as she examined him. He was cute. But he seemed . . . weird. Brooke shook away her thoughts and did a mental shrug. He would have to do.

 

[Runner]

Blaze looked over at Auburn to see a look of surprise greet him. "Do I look like I'm older than that?" He asked, confused. Just as he asked that, the door to library came into view. He walked ahead and opened it up and held it open for Auburn.

Cade shrugged. "Surrreee... You came into the door, saw a guy who curiously looked at you and then stalked him upstairs into a recreation room. I think that's considered stalking." He picked up one of the tiny little straws from next to the coffee pot and twirled it with his left hand before adding, "And what do you need?"

Alice had placed her violin back inside of the case and walked back to her room when she sung softly. She didn't have an amazing singing voice but it was quite nice.

"The fluttering snowflakes are the stars' shards; reaching your hands into the sky,

you can feel our coming-and-going wishes for each other, can't you?

Now everything has become shrouded in a shade of monochrome.

 

The white breaths I softly let out are shaped like the words I wanted to convey.

Without a doubt, with just their warmth, the sky has become slightly brighter.

 

Our encounter, having become your encouragement, is exactly the initiation I wished for.

The loneliness of having to stare fixedly at darkness has already come to an end.

When we fold our wings, soaked in sorrow, over each other, they will turn pure white

and become our gentle courage, as we wade towards each's own future.

 

My heart is bursting with excitement as I await the dawn of this secluded world.

As soon as I bring my light with me on a journey, a new "tomorrow" will begin within me.

The fluttering snowflakes are the stars' shards; reaching my hands into the sky,

I will always believe in our coming-and-going wishes for each other.

Now everything has become shrouded in a shade of monochrome.

 

Our strong wills are now in motion, reflecting our waxing-and-waning selves.

"I will persevere to the end." We smile brightly, with the compass glittering in our eyes.

Defrosting our frozen memories, now together with the love we have found,

and without looking back, let's sense each other from the sky's two opposite shores.

 

Each following our own trajectories, even if we would never be able to meet again,

we will surely be connected somewhere in this light-brimming galaxy.

The dissipating stars, like fine sands, tenderly caresses my bosom again.

As I quietly fall into a slumber, the afterimages of my dream

will still be shrouded in a shade of monochrome.

 

My heart is bursting with excitement as I await the dawn of this secluded world.

As soon as I bring my light with me on a journey, a new "tomorrow" will begin within me.

The fluttering snowflakes are the stars' shards; reaching my hands into the sky,

I will always believe in our coming-and-going wishes for each other.

Now everything has become shrouded in a shade of monochrome."

Josh pulled up from a taxi, he grabbed his luggage and threw his money into the taxi's back-seat. Josh looked up to the mansion, it was quite big, not to mention white and shiny. Josh looked around, nobody, was he supposed to get his luggage up there? By himself. To him, it was much of a challenge, he probably brought less stuff than any girls. Josh put his free hand in his pocket, he grabbed his sunglasses and slipped them on, flashing a smile at the thin air. He grabbed his two suitcases and threw th on top of the pull-able luggage, and dragged it all across the ground.

Angel walked back to her room. She looked at her keyboard, she was always a freak, as soon as she put a hand on that, she was a natural. She didn't want to be like that, in fact, she wanted a different talent, amazing as music was, she didn't even get into her school's band. She looked at the mirror, her wonderful hair was completely messy, she walked closer and tied it up into a messy bun, it did little difference, but her hair was out of her face.

Shaula laughed while watching Seinfeld. She loved older shows. She turned when she heard some talking coming from the Rec room. "Hm," she murmured to herself, as she continued to watch.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Auburn smiled at Blaze. "What a gentleman you are," she said sweetly and stepped into the enormous library. "And yes," Auburn stated as she walked through the doorway. "I actually thought you were older than me. I turn nineteen in two days." She smiled as she said this, her nose stud glittering in the light of the library chandelier.

Brooke laughed dryly and folded her arms across her chest. "I needed help. You were the first person I saw so I followed you here. I wouldn't necessarily call that stalking." Brooke grinned at Cade and pulled a cigarette out of the carton resting in her pocket. She lit it and took a long drag. "My bag is ridiculously heavy. I need a guy to help me carry it up to my room. You gonna help me?" she asked, smoke spilling from her nostrils.

 

[' A k i]

Alice hadn't gotten to far from the main staircase when she realized she had left her violin case behind and mentally hit herself for being so careless about it. She highly doubted would come across it or bother picking it up, so she wasn't in a hurry to go get it and walked at a slow pace back to where she had just played.

 

[KareliaTheTama]

Shaula peeked in the Rec room to see what was going on. She saw the new girl with a heavy-looking bag. "Hm," Shaula thought to herself, "I might as well help her."

 

[Runner]

Cade nearly gagged when the girl began smoking. Ew... Definitely not my type.. He thought, trying to resist the urge to cough. He saw Shaula peek into the rec room, and then he quickly said, "Hey! Look, one of the mansion attendants! Uh, I'm leaving. Bye." At the fastest light dash ever, he made his way around the smoke and Brook and exited the rec room.

Blaze let go of the door as he followed Auburn into the library. The smell of books and wood greeted him, and he looked around, observing the library. The shelves were made of wood (Explaining the scent), and hundreds of books dotted the shelves. He looked up and saw the chandelier, admiring the jewels glittering on it.

 

[KareliaTheTama]

"Yalright?" Shaula asked as Cade flew out of the Rec room. "Whowasthat?" she said as she tried to talk as fast as he was running. "Oh! You must have met someone new!" she said, slowing down her talking-speed.

 

[Runner]

Cade heard words come out of Shaula's mouth, but he was running so fast, what he heard was mostly a blur, but he did manage to reply in a huffed voice, "Help her take her bags!" And then, he stopped for a moment, and added very silently to her so Brooke couldn't hear, "Don't tell her about me or Blaze or any of the guys, I sense something bad in her.." Then he ran off.

 

[KareliaTheTama]

"Okey dokey!" Shaula chirped perkily as she went in the Rec room to help the girl with her bags. She skipped in and smiled. To her, the girl seemed friendly enough. (she CRAZY!) So she waved to the girl and immediately picked up her bags.

 

[Runner]

Cade finally stopped when he got back to his suite, which appeared vacant enough. He took a moment to cool down, he was starting to sweat. He noticed that Blaze had disappeared. Cade assumed he had run off with somebody, and had actually been able to create a relationship. Feeling just a bit envious, Cade flopped onto his bed.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Angry that Cade had just run away, Brooke spun around to be faced with some uppity chick standing behind her. She laughed in a you've-got-to-be-kidding me sort of fashion before taking another drag of her cigarette. Normally she would have said some smart remark about the annoying way the girl spoke or how sickeningly immature she seemed skipping toward her and being so bubbly. But seeing as this was the only help she'd be getting at the moment she held her tounge and continued to puff on her cigarette while eyeing Shaula in a condescending manner. She was not going to carry that god forsaken bag all by herself. Hell no.

Auburn silently began to explore the library, running her finger along the spines of all of the books on the shelf as Auburn passed by reading their titles. She breathed in the scent of wood and old paper and sighed in pure bliss as the familiar smells brought back sweet memories from her childhood. Auburn's reverie was suddenly interrupted as her eyes came across an old looking book with a worn spine. It looked as though it had been read many times but appeared to not have been touched in years do to the thick coat of dust that graced the exposed parts of the book. Auburn reached out and grabbed ahold of it, slowly sliding it out of it's fixed position between its neighbors. She blew the dust off of the top and the spine and read the title. The Turning. Auburn searched for some kind of description but found that there was none. Curious, she folded the book in her arms and set off in the opposite direction to find Blaze.

 

[Jadeie]

Josh bursted his way through the doors, "oh, how quite. Absolutely no partying what-so-ever?"

Josh sighed and continued to go, he smelt cigarettes. "Yummy," he joked, he had never actually had any source of drugs, well, yet.

Angel continued to fix up her face, she put some moisturizer on her face and walked down the hall again, seeking something to do. Angel was bored, when she was yoinger, she would go straight to her key-board or pretend to sing in a hair-brush. But now, she was too tired, and especially bored of those things.

 

[KareliaTheTama]

She pulled Brooke's bags through the hallway. "So.. What room you got?" she asked, continuing to pull the bags forward.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Brooke, momentarily impressed with this female's strength, took her cigarette out of her mouth and held it between her middle and index fingers. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the now crumpled sheet of paper with her ro key attached to it. "Suit 19," she stated flatly while ripping the key off of the paper. Brooke walked along behind Shaula, as she had no idea where she was going, and continued to smoke contentedly, a seemingly endless trail of smoke billowing from Brooke's mouth as she walked along. Her bag was being carried for her. She got what she wanted, which was enough to keep her at bay . . . for now. Her descinegrating cigarette was of more importance at the moment anyway.

 

[Runner]

Blaze was looking through the books that appeared to be in a teen fiction section. He curiously ran his hand over some of the books while he strolled past the bookcases. He touched one book, with a spine smoother than silk. He looked over to see a book labeled Catch-22. He stopped, and then tugged it out. Hadn't that been on his Summer book reading list... Oh yeah.. Blaze suddenly remembered he would still have to do his homework, despite being in the mansion.. Blaze tucked the book under his arm, and went to go find Auburn.

 

[.:SnazzyPizazz:.]

Auburn walked along silently looking for Blaze. The library was huge, adorned with rows and rows of giant shelves filled with countless numbers of books. This would certainly be a regular place that Auburn would frequently visit, she just knew it. After some searching, Auburn finally found Blaze and greeted him with a smile. "This place is great!" she exclaimed enthusiastically and hugged her book tightly. She held it out to him, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "This caught my eye and I couldn't resist. I can't wait to start reading it."
