*I'm sorry, I had meant to post the profile, but my time on the computer was cut short. I was going to post the profile when I was on again, but that was postponed until the next day.So, I am sorry if I created any disturbance.(And now I'm dropping the subject)*

Ever

This man was impossible! How could she out-maneuver him,? Every reply she had made, he had come up with another witty remark. But this man made her laugh, it was an experience she hadn't felt in a long time.

"Yes, my mother loved words that ended in ever and so she named me Ever. And please do refrain from making puns of my name."

"Oh, you have no worry of that, Ever," His smile widened and his eyes seemed to grow brighter.

"You are incorrigible!" Ever was about to turn away from him, but he gently put a hand to her shoulder.

"Please. I did not mean to upset you. I would never want to cause that," He seemed genuine in his apology, so she turned back to him.

"You are very amusing, but just a little too much so," She looked at him for a moment then quickly looked away. She couldn't let herself do this again. "If you will excuse me..."

She tried to quickly move away before she could look at him again. Not again.

Johanna

Mother dragged me to the salon, but before I could meet anyone, dinner was served. We proceeded to a room with several tables, as if forming small associations. There was small list at the entrance of the room, and servants all around. I checked the list and seated myself on the table, where Felicity was, and two more ladies.
"Good evening, ladies," I said. "felicity." I smiled and she nodded."
"Hello. I'm Abby. Abby Warden."
"Johanna Arythis," I replied with a smile. The other lady presented herself as Elizabeth Bonham. We chatted a bit, but soon a men arrived.

Avelle~

I listened, unbelievingly to John's story. So I wasn't alone. He had a power too. It was so unbelievable.
Then I heard a small gasp from the doorway.

"Maddie?" I asked.

The door flew open and she stood in the doorway with Tristan and Abby. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Y-you have powers too?" she managed to stutter out. "How come you never told me??!?!?!"

"I'm sorry, Maddie. It's just... After Brendan's death things have been hard. We've hardly seen each other, let alone talk. I thought you would think I was a..."

"Oh Avelle."

"But why aren't you guys all screaming I'm the devil's spawn or something?"

"Because. We are like you and John. We have a power too," she said, almost breathlessly as Tristan nodded.

"And you, Abby?" I asked.

"Yes. But we shouldn't be standing around here talking about it! The dinner bell rang a long time ago. We don't want to seem rude!" she said.

"Oh! Right, of course. Shall we eat together then? We can talk about during dinner," I replied.

After we all agreed we went outside and sat down. Soon after we were joined by Felicity and Johanna.

-Is this alright with everybody? Ever and Amadeo can come too.-

Amadeo

"Please dont go," he murmured, placing his hand on her shoulder. "You have been the most wonderful company so far, and I will admit your wit is definitly interesting. Please, I do implore you to stay awhile longer... I would calm down my.. um.. amusement if that is what you wish of, milady."

"Milady," She chuckled turning her eyes on him again. "And what brings on such an honorific as milady, might I ask?"

"Well by the fact that in that gown you look stunningly like a princess," He murmured smoothly. "A gothic princess mind you, but a princess nonetheless and a princess can not be without an escort on such a fine night as this."

"And you wish to escort me?" she cocked an eyebrow challengingly.

"If I may, me liege," he gave her a childish bow. "So please, stay awhile. I do believe the night is still young."

"I-I really must go," she turned again to leave, the urgency definitly there. This time he did not move to stop her, and watched her leave into the mass of dancing people, his heart sinking. He turned towards the window, his eyes staring out at the stars which brought on a nostalgic taste in his mouth. He grimaced, his eyes shining over as another memory that was not his own made itself present.

"Bloody hell," he rested his head against the window pane. "Bloody fricking hell."

Madeline

I walked beside the others. Avelle had powers. Triston had powers. This was unbelievable. I wasn't alone.

"Maddy!" Someone yelled.

"Mother," I groaned. Triston seemed to grin at my tone. I glared at him. He wouldn't smirk like that if he knew how horrendous my mother was.

"Madeline, dear," she smiled. "Who are your...friends?" She looked from me to Triston. Oh no, I thought, thinking about our previous conversations. I blushed. Please, please, please, don't let her get any ideas.

"This is Triston and this is Abby," I said pointing to them, one at a time. "Oh and you know Avelle."

"Avelle!" My mother gushed. "How incredibly good it is to see you. I'll have to find your mother soon. Oh and hello Abby. Triston." She rushed off, leaving us to talk.

"Well that was dreadful," I replied, fanning myself. Avelle grinned.

"Tell me about it." I almost rolled my eyes.

"Should we be going?" Triston asked. He was right, we needed to head towards the others.

*Whoops, let me see if i can jump in.*


I was tired even though i didn't do anything. Of course this ball was not like anything i had gone to before. Half the women and men were not in any way acting like nobles. I smiled at the thought. I closed my eyes and sighed.

A man and a woman stood, talking in a white background.
"Can you see the future?" The woman asked.
"Well, since you can too, I guess there's no reason to hide it." The reply came.
"You aren't making fun of me are you?" The woman's face changed in expression.
"In three seconds a buggy is going to come around the corner. There will be red curtains and a man in a white suit driving the buggy. The horses will be black on the right and speckled on the left. Right about now a yellow cat should be walking on the far side of the road, and when it sees the horses it will run into the gutter and hide in a trash can." He explained.
Just then a Buggy came into the picture and the woman watched awestruck.
"Zire" I voice from the background called.
"Zire it repeated, the vision got blurred more and more.


I woke up gasping. A small crowd had assembled around me. The looked clearly scared or surprised or humorous. I was given a glass of water. I drained it quickly.
"Zire!" One of them repeated, as he shook me.

"You didn't wake up, we called you but you made no reply, we thought you were dead" Said one man
I remembered on meeting a few years ago.

I smiled and then stood up.

"A man" I started to mutter.

"What man?" asked the same man who had given me some water.

"A man, black suit" I said remembering "brown shoes and a wolfs mask?"

"Oh... That man" Said the guard near me "I'll get him if possible, you need some rest first"

Then the guard ran off. I hoped they were not joking.



*Hope its okay*

*God, this is on the second page! Is this dying?*

Johanna

The young man seated himself on the seat next to me. He took my hand, and with a simple kiss, he siad, "Johnathan Ridley."
Oh, so this was young Mr. Ridley.
"Johanna Arythis. I believe you have meet my dear mother."
He nodded silently.

Maddie

A guard walked over to us.

"Excuse me, sir," he said, adressing Triston. "Your wanted." He nodded. Great, I thought, one of the only interesting people here except Avelle, and he was leaving. I still wanted to talk to him.

Triston walked away with the guards and I leaned against the wall. I realized that my position wasn't one a female normally took on, but I didn't care. I was tired and I was bored. Most of the girls seemed way too formal for me anyway.

I felt strand of my brown hair escape the twisted bun my mother had done for me this morning. It tickled my neck. I yawned and looked around. Avelle was nowhere to be seen. Oh well, I was typically an asocial type of person. Something that horrified my parents. I guess it was because I had a low tolerance for people. I smiled. How true that statement was.

Zire


The man from the past walked right to me, led by the guard who then left us.

"Well?" Asked the man.

"My name is Zire" I said introducing myself.

"Triston" The tone of his voice suggested that he wanted to finish this matter soon.

"You can see the future" I said simply.

The man turned pale, recovering almost instantly.

"Are you telling me that you called me here for a joke?" He asked angrily.

"But then again.." I said ignoring him "You should have foreseen me uttering the same words which i did now before i did utter it."

I studied his expression, a blank one, a blank angry expression.

"You think I'm insane don't you?" I asked.

I sighed and before getting an answer walked closer so what ever i said would be hear by only him.

"Let me see" I said closing my eyes for a split second.

"You were conversion with a woman, she asked 'Can you see the future?', to which you reply 'Well, since you can too, I guess there's no reason to hide it.' to which she said 'You aren't making fun of me are you?' to which you show her the extent of your powers by foreseeing a buggy that comes your way in the future. The rest if too complicated" I closed my eyes again "You meet two others... their names are... Abby and... Avelle, they have powers too, but they..." I gasped "They are like me, they see the past, where are they? You must take me to the" I stopped then added "Not that i can't do it myself, but i feel i must make some... friends with other too."

I stopped and waited to see his reaction. I was surprised to find people who could see the past like me, very surprised and excited.


*Okay?*
