High School with THEM

"Yeah," Lucy narrowed her eyes at Kristina, and picked Arianna up gently with her actual hands, "she's kind of my cat. She likes to follow people who are....different." She stroked Arianna's kitty ears, but kept her eyes on Kristina. "It's a cat thing, I guess."


She sat Arianna down on the ground and grinned at her, as Arianna returned the gesture by rubbing against Lucy's ankle and mewing.

Anderson had no where to go he'd lied about whatever. He kept turning thinking he'd see Senna running after him her gorgeous form. He shook that thought away quickly, it had been nothing. He just lost control. His breath was laboured he felt like he ran a mathon. Everytime he closed his eyes he heard her moans and saw her over him. He was shaking so hard his hand so unsteady. He swore he'd never he should of stopped he'd never had any intimate touch with any girl. She'd not fought back she'd let him. He saw each peice of clothing fall in slow motion. He'd helped. He felt her warm sensaul touch. Her lips against his. No he can't let this go further but his heart ached for her he longed to be alone with her again.

A car honked loudly. His eyes flew open. It was then Anderson realized he's stopped and about five cars were behind him. His head was spinning and he smelt her over his whole body.

He was almost there his Dad would be here, he'd see his Father and if... no he couldn't do this... Senna oh god he was going mad. Wild thoughts flew through his mind such rude and unatural ideas.

He finally came to a wrought iron gate his black drenched with sweat. He'd not changed. His clothes--- no too late. He rang the buzzer and no one answerd. He was confused until gate swung open.

Walking in his form was wildly circulating. Why was he doing this. Just then his heart stopped and he heard the door open. "oh god it was her." Should he hide. His heart would give him away he just stood there and tried to measure distance between gate, her and door.

She left the door open and walked back into the building, her jacket pulled tightly around her like it always was.

He breathed a sigh of relief and gained control of his form again walking in confidently.

now find my Dad in here then leave before anything else happen.

Senna heard a buzzer after the small group had moved indoors. No one else moved to answer it so she did. Her heart stoped when she saw Anderson, what was he doing here. She tugged her jacket tighter moving farther into her shell. She couldn't let lose it again. Oh how she wanted to fell his arms around her, NO she quickly turned and walked inside. She pulled her hood back on and held her breath when she heard Anderson's footsteps behind her. She entered the room where the others were. The girl that always glared at her, but have found her jacket. A kitten that was following her and then another girl. She leaned up against a wall and pulled the hood back over her head. Her eyes wondered over to Anderson. Their eyes meet and he looked away. Senna frowned and looked down at her feet. She looked back up to see him standing next to her looking around the room. He was still in his wet clothes.

"Did you go for a dip?" She asked not looking at him. Her heart was pounding having him so close again. She thought she heard a chuckle but she wasn't sure.

"Yea, but didn't have time to change, whats goin on?" He asked,

"Who knows." She looked around glad for the shadow that was cast over her face.

"You're looking at me like I'm going to attack you," Kristina said flatly.

"You might."

Kristina shook her head, "not tonight, I've left my vampire half at home."

"Then what are you now?"

"I'm the goddess Kali, or at least one of her children." Kristina easily pulled herself up onto the dumpster she was leaning against and crossed her jean-clad legs.

"So what can you do?" Max asked.

Kristina smiled at him and the wind grew stronger, tossing their hair around and nearly knocking Arianna off of her feet. The wind stopped abruptly. "That, amoung...other things."

"Wow."

*Heres another long one, nothin bad though *

Anderson heart was thudding again, as he opened his he looked he saw each piece of her clothing falling again. He pulled her away from everyone hoping with all hope she’d fight back or something. Senna followed Anderson, no one seemed to notice their leaving. Her heart was pounding, and if Anderson hadn't been holding her hand it would probably be shaking. He stared at her with such longing. Please he had to fight but she had the same look this was happening too fast. His body was on autopilot. He arrived into a hall and lay her against a wall. They were alone this was bad very bad. Senna just started at him, the same thing she felt showed in his eyes. Why was she doing this, why was she losing control. He slipped the hood off her head and she blinked to get her eyes adjusted to the light. His arm wrapped around touching the small of her back. This was far too soon he shouldn't do this why couldn't she fucking fight back against it. Senna nearly shivered as his hand rested on her back. 'Fight back you idiot, go back to the others, don't lose control again.' A voice hissed in her ear, but she couldn't move. It was like she was in a trance that she couldn't pull out of.

"Andy, you sure we..." She started,

He tried to pull away, and looked at her so confused he could see in her face she was trying, "I... I'm trying." He continued, "I had nothing to do really I ran because I was scared." He was, she could tell, but it wasn't working for either. She looked into his eyes and nearly melted, his confession confused her.

"Scared of what?" she asked gently, her heart was racing her mind buzzing.

He leant over and kissed her it was light but he was sure if no one came it wouldn't be last, "I can keep control around you yet I can't control myself mentally."

"What do you mean?" She asked as he kissed her again, she leaned into it nearly melting in his arms.

He looked away, but couldn't for more then five seconds, "Senna my form reflects on my emotions and if unstable emotions I lose to my demon." He tried again to look away, "That beautiful time my emotions were incredibly unstable, yet I stayed in human form."

Senna looked into his eyes again, he tried to look away but she clasped her hand on his cheek. "Then what could have done that? What could've kept you in human form?" She asked,

He kissed her again almost pushing his tongue but with all his will power held back. He pulled away but still couldn't let go of her, "I'm scared."

She was really confused, him scared, "Of what? Me?" She asked, "Why are you scared, what is there to be scared of." was there something she didn't know about. Something he wasn't telling her.

His mouth fell against her's but thankfully she pushed him away, "I can never have control so why now with you, should I. Maybe this should end quickly I've never been so scared."

Senna swallowed, she couldn't lose him. He was the only one that ever cared about her. Ever actually talked to her without being mean. Yes he had been mean, but he was just hiding behind his demon. "But isn't it a good thing you can keep control. Maybe," She thought hard. "I don't know, maybe you've learned to control it?"

“I've had seventeen years too.” He fell against her, her hands snaked around his neck. This was not good.

Senna held his face a little away from her after a few minutes. "Maybe that’s how demons work, after so long you get control." She gently kissed his lips,

He literally tried to force her to push him away, he licked his lips nervously, "No I've tried for so long deliberately making myself a loner." She looked past him, letting her shoulders slump just a little. 'making myself a loner.' his words rang in her ear. Why would anyone want to be a loner. He wanted to push her away, but some how he didn't find it as easy as everyone else did. Dismissing her with a rude word or something. Why did the fact that he had control scare him, why wasn’t it a good thing. So many questions. Her head threatened to snap around and kiss him. Or just rest on his shoulder, but she stayed still. His eyes closed and knew his will power was weak, “please” he pleaded quietly “do something..."

Senna looked at him, had he said something? "Did you say something?" She asked snapping out of thought. His mouth was an inch from her and he knew this was gonna end up like it had last time.
“please someone stop us or Senna fight back please...” he mumbled

Senna sighed inside her head, she looked past him again, she had heard him this time. She looked back at him and kissed his cheek then wiggled out of his grasp. She didn’t want to, but he didn’t seem to be able to. She had to, so she walked over to a window that was across the room. Her heart still pounding. She could feel his warm hand on her back like it was still there. She shivered and pulled her jacket tighter around her shoulders. He sighed apologetically, "I'm sorry, maybe it would of been easier if we'd just stayed with hating." He laughed slightly looking down avoiding her beautiful eyes and face.

Senna nearly screamed, but she calmed her mind and looked down at her hands, they were shaking. "Could we really do that?" She asked, 'I cannot lose him, NO,' Her mind cried.

"I'm so inexperienced and I swore I'd never ever be this intimate with any girl. Any boy in this school would know how to treat you." There was bedroom so close to where they were standing and ideas get flitting through his mind.

Senna choked back tears, she turned and looked back out the window fighting the tears, and winning for now. "Yea, with sneers and rude remarks." She muttered quietly to herself. Took a deep breath, "And I'm experienced?" She asked softly not knowing what else to say.

He nodded, "See point proven I just hurt you I couldn't even stay with you after that time. I had wanted to stay with you so many things I'd wanted to do, but I ran."

Senna didn't know what to say, "How did you hurt me?" She asked, "I was just as close to doing the same thing."

He walked over, why fight it not like it was a worth while fight they ended up against the wall again her breath becoming labored and excited. He'd not run this time he leant down over her mouth and kissed her he was about pull away but she pushed her tongue inside and he just let her. He opened his eyes to see her but he was so shocked when he saw her eyes. No way that couldn't be. He pulled away her protest strong, "You're eyes!?"

Senna looked at him confused, "What about my eyes?" She asked almost scared, it had all happened so quickly that his quick remark worried her a little.

He trembled slightly, "They're same as mines." He indicated by staring at her.

"How is that?" She asked nearly choking on the words, to her, her eyes had always looked dull. Nothing like his, maybe they were, she never paid attention to her eyes.

"They black, they weren't like that before I our night, I've infected you we must stop maybe I can stop it." He trembled so hard.

"Is that possible, I mean, it can't, can it?" She was almost trembling now. Even if he did, she didn't care. "Even if you did, it doesn't matter, I don't care."

He deliberately morphed form, "This is what I've probably given you, I can't curse you like that."

She jumped when he changed so fast, her hands were shaking now. She looked at him, he was still in demon form. "BUT, even if you did, which i don't think you did. You cant just abandon me." She wanted to plead with him, but she couldn't make him feel any more guilty then he already was. "I don't care, maybe you have maybe you haven't, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't be any worse off." He just stood there, silent, she took a step closer to him and pulled his face to hers and kissed him. She couldn't lose him, not now, not ever.

He soon joined in, she didn't care about how he looked a tear fell from his eye he felt something when kissing her in his demon form he swore he kept on seeing demony things on her. Why hadn't she allowed him to change back she grabbed his tail and stroked it nervously. No this was going to far human form was fine but demon.

Senna didn’t know what she was doing. She pulled away and bit her lower lip, “Sorry,” She muttered feeling his uncomfortably. She swallowed hard, she’d lose him for sure now. Why was she trying to make him like her more, why did it feel so right and wonderful. His tail whooshed round and began to rub her back. It tried to go under her top but he pulled it back cursing how he felt, she hadn't even fought back what his tail had been going to do. For a second he swore he saw a shadow of a tail on her. This wasn't good. Senna shivered at the feeling of his tail on her back. She didn’t move, she looked up at him when he pulled his tail away, he seemed bothered.

“Wh….what’s wrong?” She asked cursing her voice for stuttering.

His voice was more low in demon form, "Why were you even making out with me right now? And nothing you just don't want to sleep with a demon I'm sure."

Senna didn't know what to say for the life of her, she knew she should say something, but nothing would come out of her mouth. Nothing would voice itself. She fought back the tears again as her eyes misted a little. She was losing him, at least that is what the voice in her head was laughing at her. Telling her every time it could. “I really don’t know,” she quietly muttered, “I don’t see why I wouldn’t.”

He looked away a little, "I don't know if I can even sleep with someone in this form, and lets not find out either." He sighed, she looked at the ground blushing. Part of her was curious, but the other part was wondering why the hell she was curious.
After they stood there for a few minutes Senna looked up at him. He suddenly changed back and stepped towards her kissing her deeply, he moved her jacket off. She wanted this he could tell. He was kissing her with never-ending passion when he heard someone coming. Part of him sighed thank god as his hormones stopped buzzing. Senna was relieved when she heard someone she held her jacket in one had and turned and looked out the window. Her hands slowly stopped shaking. She wanted to have him just hug her. But she didn't say anything. She turned around to see who had come. There was tall beautiful lady standing there. Something about her made Senna nervous though, she seemed, mean. But her smile seemed to cover that up.

"Hmmm Senna and Anderson, Robin told me much about you, you two love birds skipping meeting for other things?" She winked and smiled but this smile wasn't jokey it seemed to be full of malice. Senna wanted to move closer to Anderson and hide behind him, but she couldn’t move her feet. She didn’t like this lady at all. And who was Robin?

Anderson stared at her, she seemed very pale, "Where is Robin if I may ask woman?" She smiled sultry and advanced towards him,

"He's a big boy, you won't to worry about him. He'll be here then the real party begins." She laughed, Senna shrunk back,

“Wh….what do you mean by that?” She asked tugging the jacket tighter around her. The lady looked at her and frowned,

"Defend you're territory girl, before you lose him!" The lady snapped, something snapped in Senna’s head.

“Excuse me?” She demanded taking three quick steps in front of the lady. That caused the lady to laugh,

“You could never defend anything, don’t try and start now.” She hissed, Senna laughed, she was mad and obviously this lady took that too lightly.

“I defend only what I think needs to be defended, I can’t exactly see a lady of your….age doing anything to my territory as you called it.” She hissed, Anderson was about to say something but she kept talking. “He ain’t territory, he’s a person, well most of the time. And I DON’T need to defend him when he can take care of himself. Now if you were trying to make a move on him you can be damn sure I’ll do something, but I really don’t’ see him falling for an old lady.”

The lady slapped Senna hard, "I'm not old bitch, I'm only twenty two you know."

Senna’s face stung, but she stood her ground. “You look older then that, thirty maybe.” She lied with a smile on her face. “Be careful, you may be old, and I suggest you don’t slap me again.”

The women looked furious then backed away all this weird behaviour was confusing for Anderson, "Lets go back to the others." Senna followed anger boiling up in her like crazy. Her face still stung alittle but she ignored it trying to take control of her temper. She finally simmered it down, but it was ready to jump back up at one rude word from the lady. To strike out like she had.

"Wait, do that again. I want to try something." said Max excitedly.

"Try what exactly?" said Kristina, raising her eyebrow.

"You'll see." said Max as he flashed a smile.

As Kristina started up the wind, Max jumped and unfurled his wings. With the huge wind, he gained speed 5 times faster than he'd been able to previously. Picking up speed, he swooped down behing Kristina, and picked her up. She jumped and then laughed, enjoying herself.

"Slick." she said, but with the wind, it almost sounded like a whisper.

"Yes i know." replied Max jokingly.

Kristina picked up the speed of the wind, and they soared at amazing speeds.

"I think i swollowed a bug." Yelled Max to Kristina, she laughed and imitated him choking. They flew down and landed on the ground.

"Take that Maximum Ride!" he yelled in the air with a grin on his face.

"Maximum who?" she asked.

"Nevermind, long story."

Arianna

"So what do you think we're doing here?" I asked Lucy.

"Say that again," She prompted, kneeling down to pet my head. I repeated my question and she gave a vague shrug.

"No idea. Not even sure why I came."

"Hey, that guy looks vaguely familiar," I pointed a paw in his rough direction. "Think we should go say hi?"

"Why not. Hey, you know what would be real fun? If we tried to get all these weird people to show us their powers."

"Presuming they all have powers."

Kristina shrugged and pulled herself back onto the dumpster and crossed her legs. "I've never done that with two people before," she said with faint excitement.

"Not even one with wings?" Max asked, pulling himself up as well.

"Not with anyone. People tend to be afraid of me."

Max raised an eyebrow, "why?"

"A demi-god vampire? How is that not scary?"

"You just don't scare me, and i can only see why shy boys would be scared."

"Why is that?"

"You're beautiful," he ran his fingertips across her cheek as he spoke, the sensation sent chills through her, contact was rare for her, so she was very sensitive to the few moments she'd get.

<firstly awfully sorry for this. all i can say is that i'm thankful that all of you have hung on and kept the story going. i just had my examination as i told a couple of you guys and now i have a vacation so here's the peice that i've been working on>

There was a yellowish tinge to the night sky. Robin's mother used to say that it meant there was going to be a thunderstorm. All Robin could think of then though was that if he couldn't escape this they would all be in a biggest mess of feind history. he couldn't help but feel the weight on his shoulders.
A splash echoed through the alley as he jumped off the bannister of a staircase and landed awkwardly on a puddle over the cobblestone alley. somehow he had to get to Caterina Alley without his pursuers. he could see the tall spires of the Old St. Jean's Church on Caterina Sforza Alley just three blocks away. but what he could also see was a shadow in the air behind him ecllipsing the gibbous moon that was peeping out of the wispy clouds. and he could also hear the flapping of large leathery wings.
with one spurt he launched himself into the door of a derelict school building that had been shut down during the British times. he rushed through the stairwell until he got to a height of three floors and was beside what looked like an old principal's office. he peeped through the broken shards of a window and heard it again. the flapping of the wings, it was ominously close. then he heard the clicking sound of claws on stone somewhere above him.
"Bad move," he thought, "that wasn't smart of you."
He flicked open a pen knife and pulled out from inside it a pure silver stake that reflected the yellowish tinge of the sky. hearing another click above him he turned around. it had been very close. suddenly he realized what was happening. there was more than one of them. he felt it coming before he saw it. he jumped away from the window crashing on the dusty floorboards. there hanging upside down was a forbodingly beautiful woman with curled dark blonde hair and complacent eyes. It was the drama teacher, Mrs. Smith.
she stepped ver the threshold prising the old windows apart.
"So you are the newest Helsing, are you boy? Dont look so horrified, i see you know my newest guise. i do so love acting. Passing over," she yawned, "you've given us a run for our money. you downed five of my best men tonight and for what? Nothing."
"You'll never succeed," Robin said, "my master has already mobilised a gathering of feinds. they will stop you."
there was a whistling sound in the air as the stake flew towards the woman. she avoided it gracefully.
"What a waste of silver, boy! do i look like a werewolf to you?," she snorted, "I am Isabella van helsing. sister of your blood ancestor and mistress of the Great Father Count Dracula. i have lived centuries and you think you can end me with a stake. Ppphhhh. As for the rag tag little band that your master has gathered, we are already exterminating them."
robin's eyes went wide. he had to warn them before they were attacked.
"You thought i wouldn't notice? Caterina Sforza, the duchess of Milano, St. Jean of Arc- those are all my names, you fool," she gave a simpering laugh.
<joan of arc came a lot before helsing so just forget the anachronism. and in case you guys dont notice this means that the enemies (these are the real ones, Dracula's relatives) know where the meeting is and are coming for you.>
"Before the week is out we shall find what is necessary and my husband will return to take revenge! Lord Dracula shall walk again!" she laughed haughtily.
"Never," Robin cried and leaped towards her heart a dagger in hand. he knew what would happen but his emotions overpowered his reason.
The next thing he knew she had caught his wrst and twisting it around he was slammed into the Principal's old door. everything flickered like a tubelight. his head throbbed and then the world spun away from his eyes. everything went black.

In the dimly lit room Isabella van Helsing picked up her blood nephew by his collar. he was ou cold. without a moments hesitation she closed her pointed canines into his neck delicately drawing blood and contaminating it. as if in mourning that night astronomers in the nearby astronomy laboratory witnessed the strange phenomenon of the night sky turning a pale reddish shade. A few miles away a man with sharp teeth and a furry hand hidden in his pocket watched a boy enter the St. Jean Church on Caterina alley. at the same time with a flapping of leathery wings a vampire landed on one of the two spires of the church maintaining a wide distance to the large cross above him.

um....i'm kinda confused what's going on?

no clue what so ever

so what are we supposed to do then?

<dear me, confusion, absence of posts...........well, maybe i'll give a little bit of an explanation? if you read this then please post>
i decided to call all the THEM charectars 'feinds'. i couldn't think up anything better. my idea has been that the helsing family has been fighting against all enemies to keep a balance between feinds and humanity for a long time. their arch enemy is the dracula family. in the age of van helsing, the man himself defeated and killed dracula after he had been turned into a werewolf. fortunately some of his original blood had been preserved and since then the feindslayers have carried the blood of the helsings and have kept order in this world. robin helsing's the latest.
yet before dracula died he made isabella van helsing, a sister of van helsing, his mistress and now she has returned to the THEM city to retreive some artifacts so that she can ressurect her husband dracula and revive the golden age of vampires. meanwhile the feindslayers including robin's master called all of you guys to the head quarters of the feindslayers at st. jean church in caterina alley. <when i was calling all of you to the gathering, i did say church didn't i?>
meanwhile dracula's mistress has taken the shape of the drama teacher mrs. smith and with her children has hunted down robin and captured him just before the gathering <which is what i just posted last>. now she is preparing to launch an attack on the church <inside which all of you have gathered> my idea is that after the attack all of your charectars will blame robin for having drawn them into an ambush>. eerrmmm........i hope this clarifies. if you want any changes then please go ahead. so the next stage is that all of you are in the main hall of the church with stained glass, mosaic and all. Father Paedro, a spanish feindslayer is with you, when the vampires and their few other 'feind' allies spring the attack. also note that andy's father is indeed in the church and he is also robin's master...............Nicholas Anderson <thanks to vernon for discussion and ideas and i hope this continues>

Hmmm. I think more people need to be consulted on these ideas. You and Vernon seem to be doing a lot of steering which is okay but it leaves the rest of us a little lost and confused. I might post later but I need to think about this a bit first...

Maybe we should just skip ahead to the ambush? I don't know how to put that part so I'll leave this up to Connor or Kitty, or whoever else is there okay?
