Spirit War

[MoonRodes]

Many people live their lives without ever knowing about the war around them. There is another world that only certain people can see. A world only privileged can see. Only most of the time, the ones that can see this other world don't want the powers they've been given. This war isn't just a war of good and evil. People can really be hurt, killed. People can really die from this. Most of them have gone insane lessening the numbers for the final battle.
There aren't many full-fledged mediums left. Only one teen stands against the whole world. Fighting back against the unseen. Drawing strength from her family who also had the ability but unknowing of the war she protected as many as she could. Only now more people who have limited abilities are dying by the numbers. One person isn't enough. The teen has been trying to find other people with similar abilities like the teen has. Only most people can't see, hear and touch them. The teen knows the risks but to save the world from the unseen sometimes someone has to die.
Demons and hell hounds surround shields and blessed houses waiting for their moment to strike. To take the powers from the psychics to help them win the war, only they didn't expect someone that would one day make them tremble at her presence be there to stop them.
Welcome to the world of spirits.

Character Name: Ariel Hughes

Age: 18

Gender: female

Occupation: student

Appearance: http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?media=http%3A%2F%2Fi83.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2 Fj284%2Fchadni98%2Fanime%2520girls%2FRedHead.jpg&searchTerm=red%20hair%20anime%20girl&pageOffset=2

Bio: Ariel has been interested in the occult for as long as she can remember. As a child, she loved ghost stories and would always try to sneak downstairs after her parents went to bed to watch late-night horror movies. As she got older, she left the horror genre behind and moved on to reading more non-fiction on the subject. She stayed a voracious reader, to be sure, but something told her that there was more to this mysterious other world than was presented between those mass-marketed pages. At a deeper level, it rang false.
When puberty hit, this sense only got stronger. That was when Ariel started hearing things, seeing glimpses. It wasn’t much; a whisper of sound at the shoulder, a shadow where one shouldn’t have been. There one moment, gone the next. Ariel has never been able to home in on any of these, but to her, they’re proof that there is something more out there, something beyond this tangible world.
In her quest to find that something more, Ariel discovered Tarot. More importantly, she discovered she had a bizarre knack for the cards; she started doing readings in early high school, and within a couple of years, she had earned a reputation for unusual accuracy, even when reading for people she scarcely knew. It was like this ability came naturally to her. And even so, her other strange instincts continued.
Right now, Ariel feels as though she is at a crossroads. On the one level, mundane life is normal; she’s finishing high school, planning to go to college to study literature and writing. But she also feels as though something is teetering on a brink. She doesn’t know what it is or why or where, but she’s keeping her eyes out to see what comes next.

Powers: Right now, eerily accurate Tarot readings and a tendency to catch half-heard whispers at the edge of hearing and odd flashes out of the corner of her eye. Later on, who knows what may develop?

Other: Ariel has a small birthmark shaped sort of like a strawberry on the inside of her left ankle.

[Natomie]

[MoonRodes]

[Natomie]

((ok so I have to be a guy right now?))

[MoonRodes]

((you can be a female spirit unless you don't want to be a dead person. Oh and nothing's wrong it the profile. We can start now.))

A black 1966 Mustang pulled into the high school parking lot. Dakota sighed as she parked towards the back away from the other high school drivers and shut the car down. She patted the dash board as she leaned over and grabbed her school books from the passanger seat. "Thanks Shadow." She whispered to the car as she got out and locked the door behind her.

Dakota pocked the key as her right hand lingered up to a small cross necklace on her neck. She sighed. How long has it been since its been off? She asked herself as she let her hand drop and head into the school building.

[archblaser]

Rhys come runing out of a door to hell runingg into Dakot and noocking her down,"sorry."

[MoonRodes]

Dakota's eyes widened slightly as she picked herself up off the ground. Two fingers on her right hand were out pointed at the demon. She knew what it was from the appearance. She started gathering her energy around her. She couldn't tell right off the bat how strong the demon was, and she was in an open area with no protection other then the gold cross on her neck and her own shield around her. She didn't care if he said sorry to her or not. He was a demon that was all that mattered.

[archblaser]

"pease stop that will not do any thing to a arch,and i am on your side."Rhys said standing up

[Natomie]

Character Name: Nera

Age died: 15

Age now: 17

Gender: female

How they died: When she was 15 this guy was drunk and was trying to get her to do things and when she didn't he beat her up. He was 23 and really strong and being that he was drunk he lost control and killed her with a blow to the head.

Appearance:http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee227/DeviantDeva/anger.jpg (she has a spot on the back of her head that is red from the time she was killed)

Bio: she was very hard working and had good grades in school but was killed. Her body hasn't been found until a year later. The 23 year old who was acused of her death hadn't remembered a thing from when he had killed her. She now goes on confused.

Other:...

[MoonRodes]

Dakota shook her head. "I highly doubt that it wouldn't do nothing. You don't know what I can do." She muttered unbelieving that she was having an conversation with a demon. Her enemies. "And no demons help humans."

[Varth]

Blake was walking aimlessly. Since he had nowhere to go he had been walking for days.

[archblaser]

"Believe me not but i will not attack you,if i whose dont you think i would have already?"Rhys said just standing there.

[Natomie]

Nera walked to her parents house. She said hello but of course they couldn't hear her. Her mother's eyes widened though. "George! I can hear her! I know she's here! George!" her mother said and then started to cry. Her father, George, shook his head and embraced her. Her family had been at a loss since Nera had died and her mother had always seemed to feel something when Nera came in the house. It must have been because spirits tend to make things cold.

[Varth]

Blake sat down on the curb and stared at the sky. "I wonder how everyone is doing?" he asked himself.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota shook her head. "I've had demons stand outside a shielding for days on end waiting to attack. Now if you're not going to leave I'll make you." She threatened. She could feel Pierre and Miguel coming up behind her. She also sensed something else was getting closer, but the feeling from the demon being this close was almost overbearing.

[Natomie]

The young spirit didn't want to cause her mother any more pain so she left. She walked out of the house.

She looked at a guy who was sitting on the curb looking at the sky. She sighed and thought how wonderful it would be to be alive. She touched a street light sadly and started to wonder who was alive or not. She could never see the difference.

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel was thoughtful as she made her way into school that morning. She'd had another night of strange dreams.... Sure, she'd experienced those all her life, but they had increased with alarming frequency, the past few weeks in particular. All shapes and voices, calling, waving, trying to attract her attention. But whenever she turned to them, called out to them, they slipped away unseen, only to hail her again as soon as her back was turned....
Her long red hair swung behind her as she walked through the doors. She'd felt an odd cold spot on the sidewalk. Curious.... She was thinking enough that she hardly noticed the girl with short brown hair off to the side. Talking to someone. Looked like she had one of those Blue Tooth cell phone headsets, as no one else was visible....
But just for a second, Ariel thought she saw a shadow beside the girl. A faint shape, wavering in the air. But then, like every other time, it was gone.

[archblaser]

"Ok, I'll leave,"Rhys said starting to turn away also droping a cross"only those of good can hold one."

[MoonRodes]

Dakota waited until the demon had left to walk over and pick up the cross. She stared up at the last place he had been before shaking her head and grabbing the cross. Maybe aunt can tell me something about this... Demons helping humans against the demons. It's unheard of so far. She sighed as she put the cross in her pocket and finally made it into the school as the five minute bell rung. Frowning she walked quickly to get to her first block class.

[Natomie]

Nera counted out at least 2 people who were dead but the men she could not figure out. She decided to not let it bother her so she walked on her lonely journey. She went to her old school and looked at it. Everyone was rushing in. How she wanted to talk to her friends once more.

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel had moved on before Dakota picked up the cross, and thus missed seeing an item appear out of thin air. Still, her nerves were tingling, as though something were up. When Ariel had a hunch, it typically came to pass- though sometimes she didn't know what the hunch had been about until later.
She slid into her homeroom desk not long before the bell rang. Then, time for class. Ariel sighed a bit. She would be so glad when she graduated.... That day was coming up soon, and it wouldn't arrive soon enough for her tastes. She was ready to move on to a bigger world.

[archblaser]

Rhys stayed just as far away so he could whach the human to see what she would do with his cross that he had for 5 years.

[Varth]

He stood up and thought he might look at the school. Atleast he could see how his friends were doing.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota stopped walking when she saw someone who had died a few years back. She hadn't been in the high school then but she'd heard the stories and seen a picture of the girl before. She walked over making sure she was seeing every little detail. "You're the girl who was murdered right?" She asked under her breath so only the spirit could hear it even as the bell rang saying she was late for class.

[Natomie]

Nera jumped in surprise. "You... you can see me?!" She asked stepping back alittle.

[MoonRodes]

"It's all right." Dakota said quickly. She didn't need a panicked ghost on her hands. She nodded. "Yes, I can see you. Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you.

[Varth]

He watched as students who were late run into the school. "Not a thing has changed." he said with a smile

[archblaser]

Rhys comes up"unless you are a demon spirt,"he said laeghing

[Natomie]

Nera calmed down and looked at the ground. "Yes I am that same girl that died. 2 years ago to be exact. You should go to class..." Nera said and then ran off scared at the fact she could see her.

She hid in the top floor of an old apartment building. She was breathing heavily. How did she see me? she thought to herself.

[Guendolen_Sama]

A few minutes before this, Ariel had been scurrying from her home room to her first class, English. The bell was going to ring any second.... She did a little hop-step to evade the girl standing by the wall- but wait, there was no one there.
It wasn't the first time Ariel had seen one of the shadows at school. But this time, for a second, she'd felt sure she knew who it was. Funny, that.... Ariel shook her head and made her way to her class, the lingering sensation of cold lingering on her skin. Thus, she missed the second spiritual conversation of the morning, too.

[Varth]

"I would still see it as nothing has changed. And here nothing ever will, same everywhere."

[MoonRodes]

Dakota sighed as she shook her head. Man, I thought the ones at home were bad. At least they don't run away from me. She thought to herself as she tightened her hold on her books and headed down the hall. She was late but she didn't care. Her first block teacher was nice to her if she was only a few minutes late. As she walked into her class she thought she saw another spirit only this one was a male but she didn't have time to find out as she got herself into her class before she was in real trouble.

[archblaser]

Rhys just waited so he doesnt make her look crasy or something

[Natomie]

Nera came out after a few minutes. She walked back to the schol and was now watching the it. Some of these people were her friends and it hurt to see them again. She sighed and looked at the other boy who wasn't going into class. "That's the same man who was on the curb... he's to old to go to this school why is he here?" she said out loud. She glared at him hoping he wasn't like the man that did this to her.

[MoonRodes]

The day passed slowly. By the time lunch came around, Dakota had, had enough of the school. She payed for her lunch then went out into the courtyard and sat down in the furthest corner away from everyone else. The teen set her tray down on her books as she took out the cross and looked at it. She sighed before setting it down and slowly eating.

[Varth]

He looked at her. Then looked back to the school. He wondered what he should do.

[archblaser]

Rhys came back up to her"can i please have my cross back i had owned it for 5 years."

[Natomie]

Nera glared at him but then walked up to him. "Why are you here?" she asked him thinking he wouldn't answer her.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota's eyes shot up from her food as she swallowed it. She grabbed the cross and put her right hand back up with her index and middle finger pointed at him. "Get away from me." She commanded him.

[Varth]

"Because I used to go here." he answered without looking at her.

[archblaser]

"I will when you give me my cross back."Rhys said looking into her eyes

[Guendolen_Sama]

This term, Ariel had found herself in the unusual position of having none of her friends in the same lunch as her. Thus, she had to find herself a seat with whoever was kind enough to let her in. Usually this was no problem. But today was unusually crowded.... She found herself wandering further than normal, out into the courtyard; after all, the weather was good, today. Not so many people out here. She'd grab a bench to sit on while she ate. Hm, maybe being alone would be good, today. The sky was breezy, the air cool and pleasant. A distant hum of conversation buzzed in the background. Yes, she was very relaxed, right now; almost drowsy.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota didn't look at the demon fully. She threw the cross away from her. She stood up and grabbed her only half eaten tray and books. She kept her mouth closed as she dumped her tray in the trash before walking quickly into the school building. She headed straight for the girl's bathroom. As soon as she was in there she went into one of the stalls and puked.

[Natomie]

Nera didn't seem surprised because she had gotten the feeling he was a spirit. "Oh... so you are dead then?" she asked him now looking at the school.

[archblaser]

Rhys graped his cross and leaved the school to look around where he would be staying for now.

[Varth]

"About as dead as I'm going to get." he said now looking at her.

[Natomie]

"That's what I thought..." Nera spoke softly. "So umm... do is lonely for you to be dead?" she asked in a somewhat childish tone, now looking at him.

[archblaser]

After looking around he when back to the school to see if the spirits were still there.

[Varth]

"Yes it is...somewhat lonely being dead." he answered sadly

[MoonRodes]

Dakota lifted her head back up as she wiped her mouth on the back of her sleeve. Way to close and to much energy coming off him. Overpowering almost... If he really is on our side... She didn't let her thoughts go there as she flushed the toilet and walked out. She'd washed her hands before stepping out of the bathroom. When she did she finally saw the female spirit from before and the male one she thought she'd seen before she went into class. Dakota stayed where she was at not sure if she should go to them or not.

[archblaser]

Rhys looks for the spirits then he came to where they were,"can you help me?"

[MoonRodes]

Dakota froze where she was at. She gulped slightly as she watched the demon with the two spirits. She shook her head. She couldn't let him get them. She ran over and stood between the demon and the two human spirits. "Leave them alone." She snapped.

[Natomie]

Nera didn't know how to answer the male spirit. "What's your name?" she asked him. She turned to the demon. "What can I helpy ou with and then I shall decide if I will," she answered plainly.

[archblaser]

"i just what to know where most of the demons stay so i can return the powers they have taken."Rhys said without bying taken back

[Varth]

He looked at the demon, and answered her question "you can call me Blake if you want, what is yours?" he asked never turning his attention away.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota shook her head. "It doesn't matter. Once their gone, their gone. All of the people who's energy and powers have been taken are all dead." She seethed back, not believing the human spirits would even consider helping the demon.

[Natomie]

"Nice name Blake. My name is Nera," she said now stepping from the human girl's protection. She looked at the man and said, "To answer the demon's question I do not know where the demons are so I can't help you. Why would I want to know where the demons are anyways? And what are these powers they have taken?" she asked a little curious at what he was talking about.

[archblaser]

That had taken Rhys back,"demons have been taking powers from humans that have opened there doors.I have more then anof power to use there powers to being them back."

[Varth]

He wondered what in the world she was doing. "I don't really think its a good idea to be talking to him..." he said worried

[archblaser]

Rhys looked at the male"i am on the side of the humans although I am a demon"

[Natomie]

Nera smilied. "I'm fine," she turned her attention back to the demon. "I still don't know what your talking about..." she was alittle confused now.

((I'll be back in alittle bit!))

[MoonRodes]

"Listen to the male, Nera. He's smart. You don't want to get in with demons." Dakota replied to them not taking her eyes off the demon in front of her. "The people are dead. You can't bring them back. Demons only kill. Now leave. I gave you want you wanted now leave or I will be forced to attack." As she said that, her green energy started up at her feet and started growing upward as it gained strength.

[archblaser]

"i did leave it only takes a sec. for a demon as powerful as me to look around a city as big a New York"Rhys said trying to keep his power lvl from killing the human

[Varth]

"Never much heard of a demon on the side of humans. Not unless they had something to get out of it." he said looking at him

[MoonRodes]

Dakota frowned. "Leave now." She commanded as her energy finally got up all the way. She crossed her arms, wrists at wrists with both index and middle finger pointing out. "Now!"

[archblaser]

"I do.I get to try and get some friends not just partners"Rhys said backing off os it is easier to hold back his power

[archblaser]

"Why?I have not hurt anything or one."Rhys said with a smile

[MoonRodes]

"This is my territory and I don't tolerate demons." She said as she shot a bit of her energy at him testing the waters a bit. Though she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to keep this up. She wanted to puke again.

[archblaser]

Rhys just lit the energy hit him because it did almost nothen to him"I told you that you are to weak to kill me.'

[MoonRodes]

"I can get stronger. Wait till my door's all the way open." Dakota snapped back. "Just... leave..."

[archblaser]

Rhys was starting to feel like the human was not going to leasen to him"Please just lit me talk to you after you get out of school today.If you still what to me to leave i will for a week."

[MoonRodes]

"Fine." Dakota seethed out. "But for the time being. Leave." She forced out knowing she wasn't going to last much longer as her stomach heaved.

[archblaser]

"I will wait at that mall I saw"Rhys said holding out a pill,"this will help your stomach."

[MoonRodes]

Dakota didn't take it as she turned away from him to face the two spirits. She was pale and her energy fell quickly as she released it. "You two... we can... talk... somewhere..." She started swaying on her feet. She'd never had this much of an energy drop before.

[archblaser]

"Please take the pill or my power lvl on its own can kill you"Rhys said starting to get worried

[Varth]

He only stared at what had happened. At a loss of words he just nodded

[MoonRodes]

"Just leave and I'll be fine." Dakota stated as she started to walk away. She couldn't talk to the human spirits if he wouldn't leave so she had to get away from the demon.

[archblaser]

Rhys drops the pill and flies to the mall.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota's legs finally gave out on her and she collasped onto the ground. Sighing she leaned her head on the wall beside her. She glanced back at the two human spirits. "You guys don't know anything about channeling energy do you?"

[White Horse]

{Sorry I'm late, Moony! T-T Can I still join?}

[MoonRodes]

((of course!!!!!!! White, its been a while. You were the first person I pm its always open for you.))

Character Name: Montgomery

Age now: 150

Gender: Male

How they died: He was decapitated. x3

Appearance: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l209/Izzyvi/Pink%20or%20red%20boys/redhair.jpg

Bio: Montgomery had a regular life up to the point when he took his first train ride. It crashed, and a large piece of metal chopped his head off. Fun~

Other: N/A

{Is this all right? And could someone please tell me what's happened so far?}

[archblaser]

When Rhys got to the mall he started to look for some guys to use for a human body because he whated to keep from useing his but he could not find any that souded what his what.

[MoonRodes]

((its fine. Okay so far. Rhys, the demon, partially drained Dakota because he wouldn't leave. He says he's on the good side, but she doesn't trust him and then the two human spirits Nera and Blake have been talking. That's about all I can think of.))

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel had finished her lunch in peace and quiet. She felt more settled and herself as she went inside, disposed of her tray. But then she ventured out into the hallway.
There was that same girl from this morning; the one who'd looked like she was talking to herself. This time, she seemed almost arrested in movement. And not steady at all.... Ariel ventured closer. She paused for a moment, having to brace herself. Cold air washed all around, eddies and flows of chilly energy. Again, she swore there were shadows at the edge of vision.... Ariel took a deep breath to brace herself before moving forward. "Excuse me, but- are you all right?" she asked the other girl. "Do you need help?"

[MoonRodes]

Dakota lifted her head up and stared at the girl. She sighed. She'd been caught. It wasn't something she wanted, but she had to live with it now. "Can you... Just help me up?" She asked glancing back to see if the two human spirits were still there or not.

[White Horse]

{All right then.... Thanks... Should I change my charrie? o.o Or add another? So that the... err... races... are even?}

[Guendolen_Sama]

"Of course." Ariel offered a hand to the other girl. She really looked... drained. Maybe she was sick or something? "What's your name?" she asked quietly. "I'm Ariel." Somehow, there was a deep-seated sense of familiarity here. Not acquaintance- they had never met before, this girl being a couple years younger than herself. But there was something here that rang a bell, all the same.

[MoonRodes]

((its fine and if you want to make another, it's up to you, you can. Thanks for joining White. It's been to long since we rped together. I miss the D.N. Angel rp.))

Dakota took the girl's hand. "Dakota." She replied. Once she was on her feet she ripped her hand away from the other girl. She'd felt it as soon as she touched her. She was like her. Well maybe not fully like her not a full-fledged but had abilities like her. She didn't want to force the girl's door open any further to quickly by keeping the contact much longer.

[Guendolen_Sama]

Well. That had been an abrupt movement.... Maybe the girl had a touch phobia or something? Either way, for a second Ariel had felt a jolt, like an electric shock, when their hands had clasped. That sense of recognition- no, not recognition, similarity- strengthened. Somehow, they had something connecting them; something in common. But Ariel couldn't tell what it was.... Either way, though, she smiled and nodded a bit to the other girl. "Nice to meet you," she said. "Are you sure you're all right? Do you need to go to the nurse? I'll walk there with you, if you do."

[archblaser]

Rhys when outside to someplace where he could change into his human form without being seen.He was going to use his own form but he had to hide his wings under his jacken.

[MoonRodes]

"I'm fine. Really. School food, not the best stuff you know." Dakota said trying to play off her worn down appearance. She sighed as she looked around. There was no way she was leaving earlier. She was in no rush to see that demon again. She wondered if she could back out of it even now.

[Guendolen_Sama]

"Well, if you're sure...." Somehow, Ariel felt that it was more than just a bad cafeteria experience. But she held her peace. No use pushing. "I suppose we both need to go to class, huh?" she said. "I have gym next." Ariel pulled a face. She hated gym....

[MoonRodes]

"History." Dakota said with a small smile. She glanced down the hallway. A few feet away were Pierre and Miguel, the two twins who were men. She sighed. "Thanks though." She muttered as she took off for them as fast as she could. When she got to them she walked in between them drawing off their energy to keep her going as she walked to her next class.

[Guendolen_Sama]

"You're welcome...." It seemed like the other girl couldn't get away fast enough. Ariel felt vaguely as though she were wearing some sort of repellent or something.... But nothing she could do about it. Time to get the next class over with....

[MoonRodes]

The rest of the dragged by. Dakota didn't want to leave school but at the same time she did. As the final bell rung she went slower than normal putting her books away and heading back to her '66 black Mustang in the parking lot.

[archblaser]

After Rhys finested changing he when for a walk to look for the demons knowing that the human would be in school for a whiler.

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel found herself distracted and fuzzy all day. Usually she only felt this way after a particularly absorbing reading.... It somehow both dragged and flew. But finally, it was time to go home. She sighed as she walked down the street. It was nice to be close enough not to have to ride the bus. Hey, was that Dakota in the parking lot?... It was too far away to tell for sure. And after how hastily the other girl had fled earlier today, she didn't feel inclined to check and see.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota unlocked the drivers side door and got into the car. She threw her book into the passenger seat before slamming the door shut. She leaned her head on the steering wheel before taking her keys and starting the old car up.

[archblaser]

Rhys when back to the mall to wait for the human.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota turned on her radio as she pulled out of the parking lot and headed for the mall. She didn't want to do this but it didn't really look like she had much of a choice if she wanted the demon to leave her alone.

[archblaser]

When Rhys got to the mall he saw another male spirit.

[White Horse]

{Ehh... Maybe in a bit.... x3 It's nice to RP with you again, though. I do miss you. *Snuggles*}

"She does seem a bit perturbed, don't she?" Montgomery asked with a bit of an old English accent, leaning over Ariel's shoulder as he watched Dakota drive away. He floated there for a moment before wondering off. "'Tis such a shame... I wonder if they have any chocolate?"

{Blame it on Harry Potter. -__- I've copied their accents...}

[MoonRodes]

((lol, yes, I miss you too. And I still have the D.N. Angel one saved. *snuggles back*))

Dakota sighed as she pulled into the mall parking lot. She shut the car down and got out locking the door behind her. She wasn't sure what she was going to do but she wasn't looking forward to having herself drained again. She'd just got most of her energy back. She walked into the mall and looked around before shrugging and deciding to go into the stores while she was there.

((I have to go in ten minutes.))

[Guendolen_Sama]

A cold shiver rippled through Ariel. There was a whisper of air against her ear, like someone was whispering in it. But she couldn't quite hear what was said; it was like there was a muffler of some sort in the way.... She turned her head, looking quickly. A hint of shadow, at the corner of her eye. No one there. But just for a second, she swore she could feel a pressure on her shoulder, like someone had been leaning on it. That was new....

[White Horse]

{This is fun! XD}
{Whoa... You still have it?! o___0 Wow...}
{Buh-byies, Moony! ^^ See you later!}

Montgomery paused to looked up at the sky, before he let out a squeal as his head rolled back and down the road. "Catch me!" His head cried as his body flew at it, right through Ariel's body. "Jelly beans..." He grumbled, pulling his head back on and righting it. "Ah hate that..."

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel felt as though she had had her veins filled with ice water. She hadn't experienced this since a couple of years ago, when her family had insisted on visiting a Civil War battlefield... on a hot summer day, she'd passed through a cold patch just like this.... The shock had dropped her to ground level, and the whispers had hit her like mad. Behind them, the sound of gunfire, as though in the far distance....
This wasn't as bad as that. Still, just for a second, the voice got stronger. She thought she heard... words.... Catch... head... jelly.... She shivered again, hand going against the side of a tree for support. "Who are you?" she whispered. "Where are you?" And what were they? What did they seek?

[White Horse]

"What?" Montgomery turned to Ariel. He looked at her oddly, floating around her slowly until he was a few inches in front of her. He backed up quickly, leaving some distance between the two. "Are you talkin' tah me?" He slowly spun. "Ah'm right in front of you, my good woman," Montgomery tapped his head and grinned. "I'm myself; why? Who else would I be?" He floated closer again. "Who are you?"

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel felt another of those puffs of cold air; it wasn't such a shock, this time. Still disconcerting, though, all the same. She looked around. A few more words had gotten through. Me... in front... myself... you.... "I can't hear you," she muttered, hands going to her temples. "A few words, sort of- but where are you?" It was either a prank or... a brush with the supernatural. If it was the former, it was poorly executed, unless the intent was to confuse and bewilder. If it was the latter... well, it was vague and awkward indeed.

[White Horse]

Montgomery frowned softly, tilting his head at Ariel. He slowly moved closer to Ariel, and reached to set his lips right next to her ear. "I'm... In front... of you," he murmured the words slowly, pausing, so that she might hear them all.

[Natomie]

Nera walked over to the spirit and the girl. She walked close to them but also decided to stay a distance, That girl is familiar..., she thought looking at the pair.

[Guendolen_Sama]

The cold against her ear was almost numbing- and it was only on her ear. This time, more words got through. In front of you.... Her eyes got big, breath hitching. "I can't see you," she whispered. Or... could she?... There was... a hint... in the air, almost like waves of summer heat. Just there for a moment.... Ariel looked, back and forth, breath sharp and shallow.
Another shadow at the corner of vision. Somehow, Ariel knew that this was the one in the hall from school earlier. The one that had felt familiar. Things were getting stranger by the moment.

Montgomery frowned softly, tilting his head at Ariel. He slowly moved closer to Ariel, and reached to set his lips right next to her ear. "I'm... In front... of you," he murmured the words slowly, pausing, so that she might hear them all.

[Natomie]

Nera went in front of the two of them. Now she could see the girl's face. "Ariel?!" she asked surprised.

[White Horse]

Montgomery looked toward Nera and waved his ghostly hand in a wave, smiling. "You know her?" He looked back to Ariel. "That's all right! ...Because Ah can see you." These humans were such funny creatures..

[Guendolen_Sama]

Now there were two wavering shapes. One smaller. A feminine voice. It spoke... her name?... "I know you," she whispered. Somehow, it rang a bell. But it was an echo. She couldn't place it.... But why, why was nothing getting clearer here? She threaded her fingers through her hair, senses dangerously close to over-stimulation if something didn't shift or change soon. Another word drifted through. No, a whole phrase now. Ah can see you.... She blinked, owlishly. "Are you... English?..." she ventured.

[Natomie]

Nera's expression softened. "I haven't seen you in...," she stopped. She was bringing back painful memories. She didn't want to open that door.

[White Horse]

Montgomery chuckled to himself and floated horizontally, drifting away from the two. "No, Ah just like this voice," he purred as he drifted back toward the two after righting himself. "Somewhat," he replied truthfully. "Do you 'ave any candy?" He inquired of Ariel, looking to see if she had any pockets. He glanced toward Nera while bent toward Ariel. "You do know 'er? Did something 'appen?" He pressed.

[Guendolen_Sama]

I haven't seen you.... Oh, that voice was familiar. On the brink of memory.... It was like listening through fog. The other voice overlapped. Liked the voice... "I- do I have candy?" she asked, voice somewhat incredulous. She was sure now these were spirits of some variety. Could spirits even eat candy? "No, I- uh- don't...."

[Natomie]

"Yea I know her... no," she said plainly. "You do know when if she had candy it will pass straight through you when you go to touch it..." Nera said now looked at him.

[White Horse]

Montgomery pouted angrily before huffing. "You never know!" He hated being dead; no candy.... He'd kill for an M&M. "So!" He looked between Ariel and Nera. "'Ow is it you two know each otheh'?"

[Natomie]

"Why should i tell you?!" she said to the spirit.

[Guendolen_Sama]

This was so weird.... Ariel had been on the fringes of weird before, yes. But now she felt it getting closer. And she was starting to feel a little freaked. More vague half-sentences drifted past, unseen, on the edge of hearing. Know her...
Ye know each otheh....
"I don't know," Ariel murmured, rubbing her temples, closing her eyes. "I- I do, but- it's so fuzzy- not quite how- on the tip of my tongue-" Oh, this was so maddening!

[Natomie]

Nera walked up to her and looked her in the eyes. "Nera...," she spoke in a mistifying tone.

[Guendolen_Sama]

The air wavered, Ariel was sure of it. And the second voice, the softer one, echoed, eerie and distant. Yet somehow, right there. It sounded like a name. Nera.... Ariel stopped breathing for a moment. Her hand reached out just a bit, wavering slightly. "You... you're Nera?" she breathed. A girl who had been in the class behind hers; she had died under circumstances still vague to most of her classmates. All most people knew was that a much older man had gotten her isolated and assaulted her....
Ariel had known her; they hadn't been close friends, but they'd had gym together a couple times and so forth, and they had spoken if they met in the hall or the cafeteria. She had been a potential friend, more than anything else. And now... it seemed... her former classmate had lingered.... Ariel's knees shook, a bit, and she looked for a place to sit down. It was either that, or drop down on the pavement.

[Natomie]

Ariel's hand went straight threw her. "So... you... remember... me?" she spoke slow and clearly so she could hear every word she spoke to her.

[White Horse]

"You don't look so great," Montgomery stated bluntly as he watched Ariel. "What 'appened?" He inquired again, looking toward Nera. "Some'thin' awful, Ah s'ppose?"

[Guendolen_Sama]

Every moment, the words got a little clearer. Just for a split second- more like half a second, really- it seemed as though the wavers in the air took on a form; a silhouette, small and slim. Ariel's fingers lost in the cold. She nodded a little, swallowing. "I do," she murmured, blue eyes still wide. Don't...so great... was all that came through of the other unknown entity's words, she was so befuddled by this entirely unexpected reunion. She really needed to sit down, now....

[Natomie]

"Huh?" Nera said looking up at the male spirit. "What do you, mean 'What happened?' We used to be friends... somewhat."

[MoonRodes]

((Sorry I had to go so earlier. Can't stay till midnight like I can on the weekends.))

Dakota stared ahead of her as she went for Hot Topic. Ever since they had remodeled it, all the preps were going in and it wasn't the best place to shop anymore. But she didn't really have any other place to go and she wasn't going to stand around and wait on the demon to track her down so they could talk. No she go to the store, stay a few minutes and then go back to her car. She'd been there but he didn't show, a good cover story.

[archblaser]

Rhys showed up to the spirit but it was gone then he saw the humans car and sat in the drivers seat.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota sighed when there was nothing she wanted or really liked. She walked back out of the store through the mall to her car. When she saw someone in Shadow, her eyes widened. She didn't want her baby stolen. She ran over then she saw the doors were still locked. Her eyes narrowed. "Get the f.uck out of my car!"

[White Horse]

"Then why do yah' both look like some great travesty 'appened?" Montgomery couldn't help but ask, glancing between the two again. "My Goodness, woman! Ye look like death warmed oveh yah'," he said as he watched Ariel in need of a seat.

[archblaser]

"Why should I?"Rhys said staying in the car

[MoonRodes]

Dakota glared at him. She could feel the energy coming off of the boy she couldn't figure out if it was like hers or the demon's. She had a bad feeling it was. "Get out of my car." She seethed holding the keys in her hand wondering if she could unlock the door and pull him out herself or not. She decided against it for the time being.

[archblaser]

Rhys jumped out"It's my Rhys the demon!"

[MoonRodes]

Dakota put her back to her drivers door once he was out of her car. Her seat was tainted now and she knew it. She frowned as she glared at him. "You want me here so talk." She snapped not trusting him even in this form.

[archblaser]

"All I what is to undo what must demons have done.I can sommon great spirits to take the powers of the demons that I kill to the ones they killed"Rhys said keeping far anove so so the human can talk

[MoonRodes]

"It's not going to do any good. Those people are dead. Necromancy will only breed more demons. Now I want you gone." Dakota said with as much power in her voice as she could muster at the time.

[MoonRodes]

((Arigato. Yeah you've heard that enough I know. I know.))

[Nilstiar]

A Yellow Cab pulls up in front of the school,allowing a lean figure to step out of the passenger side door. The man in his early twenties glances up at the now relatively deserted building 'damn cabby took his time in getting here'. Stand just outside the cab with the door flung wide he shoves the circular shades higher on his nose as he glances around the parking lot.

[White Horse]

{That picture looks like Harry Potter. o_0}
{Hi, Moony! ^o^}

[MoonRodes]

((You'll have to excuse White there. Hi to you too. We've both been on all day and you just now say hi. Shows where your loyalties lie.))

[White Horse]

{No, I've only been on for a little bit. I was only checking one of my RPs for an old post; I've not really been here at all. :\}

[MoonRodes]

((you're little username has been on for hours but okay. Whatever.))

[Nilstiar]

((actually the pic looks a lot like me just shorter hair, though I'm somewhat insulted being called a Harry Potter look alike))

[MoonRodes]

((you so don't look like Harry to me. Curtis is closer to being him then you. Trust me there.))

[White Horse]

{I wasn't talking about you... I was talking about the picture... And what are you talking about? Harry Potter is hot.}
{It's only been on all day because I kept logging in to repeatedly check my subscriptions.}

[MoonRodes]

((White, don't bother. He'll take things as he wants. Believe me. *rolls eyes* You get used to it after a while. And Harry is not hot. Not. Oh that's why then. Still. Oh well.))

[White Horse]

{And wait a minute! It hasn't "been on all day;" it's only been three hours.}

[MoonRodes]

((okay my butt's been in this chair for hours. I lose track of time. Okay from the time I finished my work then is that better?))

[White Horse]

{I don't know; I don't know when you finished your work.}
{And says you... Have you seen him nude? He may not have muscle, yet, but that's still a fine body...}

[Nilstiar]

With a look of disgust the man gets back into the cab, with a few short words to the driver the cab starts back up and heads off downtown.

[MoonRodes]

((I don't know either. *smacks head* We're clogging up the thread... And no... gross... No only one person I'll image nude.))

[White Horse]

{That's the reason that I waited until I had something else to say, my comment about the picture looking like Harry Potter, to say "Hi" to you, as I didn't want to clog up the thread. -__-}

Montgomery flipped upside for a moment, staring at the world in this new way; had he been alive, his head would have felt like it would explode from all the blood rushing to it; as it stood, his head only fell from his shoulders and splatted upon the gorund.

"Stop it!" He head cried up at his body, as he picked his head gback up and righted it to his shoulders. "That's not fun anymore."

[MoonRodes]

((White just stop it. Please. You never let me fully explain everything and now I'm not going to hear the end of this from him. There goes the only trust I'd gained. Just please, White, please drop it.))

[White Horse]

{I don't understand... What are you talking about?}

[MoonRodes]

((Pm me then and I'll tell you, but please just delete the last occ part please encase he hasn't seen it yet.))

[Nilstiar]

With a squeak of springs Niltsiar tumbles back onto the worn motel bed, a slight glimmer at the edge of his view draws his gaze. There hanging from the ceiling is a man a noose around his neck. "I hate motels" says in a scratchy baritone
"Better than the one in Orlando" the young girl who had followed him into the room says with a snicker.

[White Horse]

{Omg, it's not big deal. -__- I was just asking how she was. I haven't seen you in a year or whatever; I had no updates on who you were dating...}

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel managed to make her way over to a bench. It was an uncomfortable metal one, but she sank onto it gratefully. As she did so, a few more words drifted through.... Great... travesty.... Then a moment later, Stop it... not funny.... She rubbed her temples again. So okay, yes, she'd always believed in the spirit world. But to have it validated was so darn weird....

[archblaser]

"That is not very must of a talk"Rhys said without moving"I have done all I can to try to get you to beleave my and all I get is 'now go"

[MoonRodes]

Dakota still glared at him. "I'm tired of my life being interupted my things like you. So if you would so kindly leave me and everyone I know alone, I'd be happy. You can do your own thing as long as it stays away from me." She seethed back putting the key in the door to unlock it without taking her eyes off of the demon.

[archblaser]

"Ok I will do as I please."Rhys said jumping on to the humans books

[MoonRodes]

"Get away from me." Dakota snapped as her energy levels started rising again. She was tempted to bring her hands up again but she held back for the time being.

[archblaser]

Rhys just sat there"You said to do as i what so I guess I will go with you."

[MoonRodes]

"No! I said to get away from me. I will not stand for you to drain me, now leave!" She snapped as level rose. She brought her arms up and pointed her middle and index fingers at him. "Now."

[archblaser]

"You tried that already.And I thought you would take the pill but You are saying you dont because I'm draining your power."Rhys said shaking his hand"I have more if you what one."

[MoonRodes]

"Tala theala deman alusa frolu mysole." Dakota whispered the banishing in the language of the dead.

((means: take this demon away from me.))

[archblaser]

"not going to work.I'm a arch,high lvl deman.Plus It only works on demon who attacked you,trying to,or thinking to"Rhys said without moving the tiniest bit

[MoonRodes]

Dakota frowned as she lowered her arms. "Please. Get away from me." She muttered wanting to be alone without anyone. Not even supernatural at the moment. All she wanted to do was to collapse.

[archblaser]

"All I what is to help you because you are the must powerful human I found."Rhys said

[MoonRodes]

"Well ask me later. You said a week so leave for a week." Dakota replied hoping he would leave her alone.

[archblaser]

"I guess a deal is a deal.I will leave the town for a week but when I come back I will join not just you but your school as will"Rhys said going back into deman form

[White Horse]

Montgomery floated toward Ariel and sat beside her, watching her through misty, green eyes. "You O.K.?" He asked softly and slowly.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota's breath caught in her throat from the sudden energy burst. She opened the car door and sat in her seat. She cleaned the car out of its tainted energy before starting it up and leaving the demon alone in the parking lot.

[archblaser]

Rhys just started to fly into the sky to go find some demans to kill outside of the town

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel felt a spot of cool are beside her; cooler than the rest of the air around her. For a second, a few of those texture-waves floated in the air. A whisper sounded out of nowhere. You.... okay.... She rubbed her temples again, then looked roughly in the direction of where the waves seemed to have been, where the sound appeared to come from. "I'm all right," she said. "Just... weirded out, that's all. This has never happened to me before." Sure, she'd had her half-heard sounds and barely-glimpsed shadows, but nothing of this caliber. Never before had she come across actual words- at least not that could be understood coherently- or any sense of shape beyond a shadow. These weren't far beyond shadows, but still....

Montgomery floated toward Ariel and sat beside her, watching her through misty, green eyes. "You O.K.?" He asked softly and slowly.

[MoonRodes]

Pulling over about a block from where Ariel was, Dakota turned the car off and leaned her head onto the steering wheel. She sighed. Until she felt more pulls. She looked up and frowned as she groaned out loud and let her head fall back onto the steering wheel.

[Nilstiar]

*Clack* *Clack* *Clack* Niltsiar stands some 30ft away from his room, pounding a fist into what appears to be a ice machine atleast some 20 years ago. He turns and looks out at the office across the open parking lot, grabbing the ice pail from the top of the antique he heads off to the office.

[White Horse]

Montgomery worried his lower lip with his upper teeth. "You've never... done what?" He asked, not sure if she meant talking to ghosts or what. He reached out to set his hand over Ariel's, wanting her to feel him more.

[Guendolen_Sama]

A wash of cold settled over Ariel's fingers. It was like holding her hand in front of a high-powered air conditioner. But with a numbing quality underneath it.... Her fingers jittered, trying to warm them. It was even weirder.... But this time, three of the four words made it through. Never... done what? "Talked to... the unseen," the girl said quietly.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota sighed as she lifted her head and watched the scene about a block away. She didn't need the girl's door opening like this. It was to quick and would draw the demons to her. She cursed under her breath as she got out of the car, locked the door and started down the sidewalk to the group finally able to take in a better picture of the spirits with Ariel.

[White Horse]

"You just need more practice," Montgomery said slowly, smiling, even though he knew Ariel wouldn't be able to see it. He looked down at their hands, longing to pats her, to show her comfort. His hand merely slid away and joined the other in his lap before he saw Dakota moving towards them and lifted in hand in a silent wave.

[MoonRodes]

The teen waved back slightly. She stopped walking once she was in front of Ariel. "Want me to explain?" She asked knowing the girl was going to start to catch on. And if she was around when a demon showed up she had a better chance of saving the girl because her door was opening.

[Guendolen_Sama]

More practice.... Then the chill over her hand slid away. Ariel shook her head, bangs quivering a bit. She glanced up when a figure approached. The girl from earlier- Dakota. "Explain?" she said softly. Her eyes looked around. "You can sense them too?" she said. "I never could, before. I did sort of, but never like this...." She leaned closer. "I can hear them, now... words, not whispers of hazy sound...." Ariel would have felt crazy to say this to anyone else. But somehow, she felt this girl would understand. That sense of kinship arose again.

[White Horse]

Montgomery pulled his legs up and set his head on his knees, watching the two girls silently. Would this new girl, Dakota, help Ariel to understand them? He hoped so; it was getting harder to keep speaking like that.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota nodded her head and sat down on the other side of Ariel leaving the spot where Montgomery was empty. "It's odd at the beginning. And yes, I can see them. I can hear them too." She replied. "Your door is opening. The whole reason I ripped my hand away earlier. My powers are far greater than yours and I think I caused your door to open quicker then it should. And now isn't the time for door's to be opening. You're in danger now."

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel took a moment to absorb all this. "My... door is opening?" she asked. "Danger? Why? Why now? I don't understand.... I've always sensed these things were out there- but why am I in danger? Will I keep sensing them like this, or will it fade?" Or would it even get stronger?

[MoonRodes]

Dakota sighed. "I don't know everything. But if you keep trying to talk to them and see them then yea, the door is going to keep opening more. Your door... it's what opens you to your powers. Like the spirit beside you, he died from a freak accident. Lost his head, that's what I get and he's not even talking to me. But I can't tell you about the danger... I've gotten you to involved as it is."

[Nilstiar]

Getting ice from the manager had proven impossible, though in compensation the man had given an address to a bar nearby. Now walking to said bar Amella had begun to rattle on about a glimmer or some such.

Now only meters away from the bar Niltsiar turns and glares at the girl. Amella shyly points over to a group at a bench across the street. With a gesture like one uses to shoo away a gnat the man turns and enters the bar.

[Guendolen_Sama]

"Wait, wait," Ariel waved her hands in the air. "You tell me I'm in danger, but you won't tell me from what? Isn't that like not telling a person about guns to keep them from getting shot? If there's something out there that can hurt me because of- this-" her hand waved in the air, accidentally passing right through Montgomery; a flash of cold wrapped around it, for a brief moment, then was gone- "shouldn't I know what it is, to watch out for it? I've always been somehow aware of these things. Which means this will keep happening, pushing this 'door' you speak of even further open. Isn't it riskier to lack knowledge than to have it, when dealing with the mysterious and unknown?"

[MoonRodes]

Dakota glanced up quickly before turning and looked around every where. She frowned as she turned her attention back to Ariel. She didn't want to seem anymore panicked then she was. She frowned as she sighed. "Demons. Demons are going to come after you for your powers and once their gone you'll die. Well I think that's how it works." She said straight out.

[Nilstiar]

Amella with a wide grin on her face skips silently across the road, letting a childish escape only giggling when a semi passes right through her. Once on the other side she walks up to the group and politely waits for an opening to introduce herself.

[White Horse]

Montgomery frowned to himself as he listened to the girls; she'd just told this woman what happened to him. Sure, he wasn't to secretive about it, but it still hurt to have someone talk about his death just... Out of the blue like that, and not even mean anything for it. "Sorry for ruining your door," he murmured to Ariel, though was pretty sure she wouldn't hear it anyway; at least, not all of it. He turned toward Amella, watching her curiously.

[Guendolen_Sama]

"Demons?" Ariel's already pale face went a little paler. "I- they exist? I thought they were Christian fabrications meant to subvert images of spirits and so forth in pagan religions...." Things had just taken on a new facet. "If these- things- are out there, what- what do I do to keep them away?" She was so focused on this that she didn't hear Montgomery's apology. But... to the side, there.... Another wavery shadow. "I... think there's a new one next to you," she told Dakota quietly.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota looked over at the new female spirit before putting up a finger to ask her to wait a minute then turned to Montgomery. "Sorry if I crossed over boundaries. Things just come to me. So what's your name?" She asked before turning to Ariel and tell her what the male spirit had said so she would know everything. "I know," She responded about the new comer. "But no they're real. And you protecting yourself. At your weak state. I don't know if you can... It's Friday anyway. I know we just met and all but if you want to stay or me come over, I can."

[Nilstiar]

((Sorry))
With a small nod Amella waits.

[White Horse]

"It's O.K.," he murmured to Dakota; he didn't really blame her; she was trying to make a point to Ariel; probably the most important point she could ever learn, if those Demons could actually kill her. He looked toward Amella before turning back to Dakota. "I'm Montgomery," he responded, glancing toward Amella every now and then.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota nodded to the male spirit. Then turned to the female. "So..." She was never good with starting to talk to spirits. "What were you following that man for?" She asked first.

((are you still mad?))

[Nilstiar]

"Oh you mean Nil?" she glances back at the bar across the street "he's my brother."

[MoonRodes]

"You're brother?" Dakota asked as her brows furrowed. "Did he just not let you go or..." She asked trying not to pry or let the images or words come to her.

((I take that as a yes, shutting up now.))

[Nilstiar]

She tilts her to the side and looks at the female, "I... don't know, he's the smart one of the family" she says beaming with pride.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota frowned. "Okay, do you think talking to him would do you any good so you can move on?"

[Guendolen_Sama]

Dakota had started talking to the air. Well, not quite air. There was a little puff of sound, occasionally; a word here, a half-word there. The air shimmered, just faintly. "I would like to talk more," she interjected quietly. "I need to know more about this."

[Nilstiar]

"I can't do that..." Amella looks almost appalled at the thought "Mama told me to watch out for him and that's what I aim to do"

[MoonRodes]

"Oh... So that's why." Dakota replied before turning back to Ariel. "All right. I don't want to do this but close your eyes and focus on hearing them talk." She told the female.

[Nilstiar]

Amella turns to Montgomery with a slight blush powdering her cheeks "so how long you been... you know"

[Guendolen_Sama]

"Okay. I'll try...." Ariel settled a bit more on the bench. Shut her eyes, as instructed. Then she listened, waiting, to see what sounds came through.

[White Horse]

Montgomery blinked at Amella; was she blushing? "Umm... I've been... Like this for... one hundred and twenty-seven years," he murmured slowly, counting back the time. "Wow... I got old..." He breathed to himself, despite being dead, before he smiled softly at Amella. "And what of yourself?"

[MoonRodes]

Dakota listened to the conversation around her that Montgomery and Amella were having. She hoped Ariel could hear them but secretly she didn't want her to. She didn't want her in anymore danger.

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel's breath slowed to a near halt. And she realized... she could hear more. Not every word, but it wasn't so fuzzy as it had been.... "Wow, you are old," she said, somehow knowing just what direction to address the comment to. "A hundred and twenty-seven? My goodness...." This was remarkable. Had concentrating really been all it took?

[MoonRodes]

Dakota smiled. "Wow is right. Not as old as Pierre and Miguel but still. Haven't met someone as old as you in a while." She stated looking over at the male spirit before turning and looking back over at the female ghost.

[Nilstiar]

"One hundred...twenty seven" she stammers before plopping down to the ground. "Wow I've only been died two..." says with a grin

[Guendolen_Sama]

"Who are they?" Ariel asked, eyes still closed. Turned inward as she was, she felt these senses more strongly, but it still wasn't perfect by any stretch.

[White Horse]

Montgomery snorted playfully. "Well, don't seem too surprised; I'm a 'undred and fifty years old," he watched Amella sit on the ground. "'Ow cute... Yah' only just died..." He floated down to sit on the ground beside her before he blinked up at Ariel, realizing that she had heard him. "Wait! You heard that? 'Ow wonderful! I'm Montgomery."

[MoonRodes]

"Ask them yourself." Dakota responded with a small smile as she looked at Ariel from the corner of her eye.

[Nilstiar]

"Well it's just you don't look it..." she says wringing her hands nervously.

[Guendolen_Sama]

"I heard your name," Ariel breathed, a hint of a smile gracing her features. "Hello, Montgomery. I'm Ariel." Obviously not dead at all. Her head turned a bit as she sensed about, trying to find the other two spirits. Somewhere, elusive, there was a sense on the edges of things.... "Pierre? Miguel?" she asked haltingly. "Where are you?" Who are you?

[MoonRodes]

"They're my ancestors. You can come out." Dakota told them. A few seconds two men appeared almost side by side. One had dark brown hair almost black and the others was a tad lighter. The one with the darkest hair had a dark pair of brown eyes and the ligher one had green.

[White Horse]

Montgomery's smile widened at Amella. "Thank you," he replied softly, feeling a special sort of draw to this female ghost. "Hi, Ariel!" He replied with delight, happy that she had learned to hear them.

[Nilstiar]

Amella smiles at him before staring over at the arrives...

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel smiled more at the happy tone that now registered. "Hello," she said. Hm, there was a very cheery vibe from him. Cheery towards the quiet girl ghost who'd recently arrived.... "And hello to you two, as well," she added to the newest-arrived pair. She still couldn't see them, but the wavering, invisible shadows hung in the air all the same.

Montgomery's smile widened at Amella. "Thank you," he replied softly, feeling a special sort of draw to this female ghost. "Hi, Ariel!" He replied with delight, happy that she had learned to hear them.

[White Horse]

Montgomery looked toward the two newest ghost, smiling and waving them. "Oh, oh! Try tah' see us!" He cried out, jumping up and floating toward Ariel until he was a few centimeters from her face. "Can yah' see me?" He whispered, squinting her.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota looked up towards the sky as she saw it starting to get dark. She gulped and stood up off the bench. "Do you still want me to come over? You are still in danger." She said quickly as the two men walked over and each stood on one side of her protectively.

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel still had her eyes closed. "Let me try...." The eyes opened. And- in front of her face- a wavering shape. Not the stereotype of ghost, a transparent human. It was like... heat waves given shape. They shifted; eyes. Another shift; nose. Still another shift; mouth, formed into a merry grin. It was so bizarre that the girl yelped, jumped, and promptly fell backwards off the bench, landing clumsily on her back on the grass behind. She shook her hair out of her eyes. "Yes... I still want you to come over...." she replied, the wind slightly knocked out of her.

[MoonRodes]

"Good. Oh you guys are welcome to come with us of course." Dakota said with a small smile on her face. "Don't hurt yourself, Ariel." She muttered as she looked back at her car. "Let's get going. I've got to get my stuff."

[Guendolen_Sama]

"Sorry... he startled me...." Ariel shifted around to rise with some degree of grace and dignity. What she could muster, anyway. "I'm not used to seeing that, you know." She moved to go around the bench, only to find her path clogged by the shadow-wavers of ghosts on the brink of true visibility. "Excuse me," she said, "could you please move? I know I can just walk through you, but knowing you're there makes it seem rather rude...." Not to mention quite freaky.

[Nilstiar]

Exiting the bar Niltsiar notices that Amella is still across the street, with a shake of his head he starts to cross the street.
*HHHoooonnnnkkkkk* "are you trying to get yourself killed?" the driver of a red sport car yells as he comes within inch of hitting him. He finally crosses the last few meters to the curb and looks down at Amella, with a smile Amella crosses to her brother.

[White Horse]

Montgomery giggled like a school girl when Ariel fell over the bench. "Cute..." he looked up toward Nil, waving like a maniac. "'Ello!" Before he floated away some to give Ariel a place to move. "Are yah' coming with us?" He asked Nil with a sweet smile.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota was about to say something to Ariel when she saw the man walk over. She turned her gaze and stared over at him. She nodded her head slightly knowing that this was Amella's older brother. But she also sensed he was probably like them. She glanced at Ariel. This would be a good test. She if she knew they were the same.

[Natomie]

((what did I miss?))

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel was still dusting grass off her clothes. But something made her head come up. Some feet away was a young man; in his early twenties, perhaps. There was something funny about him. She moved a few steps closer, unconsciously sliding between the ghosts, as naturally as if they were real people. There was that same sense of similarity and kinship she had felt upon getting close to Dakota. That they had something fundamental in common.
And she realized... or at least thought... could he be like them? Could he sense the ghosts, too? Ariel had never known anyone who sensed these things to any true degree, before. Maybe she had found another?... She sidled over towards Dakota, and whispered, "I think he might be a sensitive."

[MoonRodes]

Dakota's smile widened as she nodded her head. "You passed that test." She said as she walked over to the new person. "You must be Amella's brother."

[Guendolen_Sama]

"It was a test?" Had this been set up, somehow? "And who is Amella?" Maybe it was that new female presence she'd sensed; the one that was shooting all sorts of happy energy towards the spirit that was Montgomery. Ariel was learning new things all the time- for instance, who'd have thought ghosts could have crushes? Or at least potential crushes, anyway.

[Nilstiar]

With a look of mild irritation he looks over at Amella, now standing at his side. "What have you told them?" he says in a gravely baritone of a voice.

"Nothing much just that we are related and that" Amella sees the look of irritation grow on his face "that Mama told me to..." his face now goes to a grimace "and huh I died two years ago." His eye's never left her face but once she finished speaking his eye go from one member of the group to the next, including the dead ones.

[MoonRodes]

Dakota ignored Ariel for the time being. She had a feeling she knew what the man was doing. When he stared at her she caught his gaze with her own and didn't let it go until he moved onto the next one. The two men standing on either side of her did the same thing, knowing she'd need their back up. "Don't worry, sir. I tried not to get the information without her wanting me to know."

[White Horse]

Montgomery floated closer to Nil. "Please, don't be upset with her... We don't know any personal details," he felt bad that poor Amella would have her brother get angry at her, just for letting out those details; were they really all that bad? It didn't seem to bad to him... And didn't he love his sister? He couldn't get angry as her for trying to make friends, could he? How mean. T~T

[Guendolen_Sama]

Ariel figured it was best to stay quiet, for now. It seemed like there were all sorts of subtle rules and regulations about this new business of dealing with the spirit realm; rules she had best learn about, apparently. And quickly. So just observe, and see what she could pick up.

[Natomie]

((umm... where should I come in and what's happened?))

[Nilstiar]

Niltsiar reaches over and grabs Amella's wrist, he takes a few steps forward dragging Amella behind him before stopping. "Say goodbye to your friends" he says releasing her wrist.

Amella darts over to the group "bye..."
