A Dark Overpass

[!Wolfo.x;;]

.xXx.Lucifer Sven.xXx.

His mind resonated with the name of the new immortal he had yet to meet. Callie. The name seemed to click on the end of his tongue and he looked the immortal over. And as she spoke, he was awed by her words of wisdom. She had not spoke them out loud, but just to where he could hear them, reading his mind and trying to soothe his angered thoughts. His wings flexed slightly as his phsyc calmed down a bit, the other immortal was... interesting. "Because I have nothing else. I suffer because it has made me who I am." He purred into her ear, leaning forward slightly to make sure she was the only one who would hear his confession.

He couldn't help but be interested by this woman, she seemed so different from the rest. Calm... ish. Kari was a spazz, and not immortal, he had no interest in her. Kia... enough said. And then he knew no other female immortals. Callie was someone new, someone different who might be able to break his bonds to anger. But he didn't get his hopes up. One wrong move and she would surely toss him away. His eyes flickered with a spark again at this thought. He honestly didn't want that sort of pain again. He was still healing from the last time it happened, and by the way you could see him treat Fate/Kia, it was clear he would never recover from it.

Callie listened to his response. She didn't show it, but she was surprised that he didn't spit back at her with a hateful tone. Over all, he was able to be polite, respectful. Why had she thought otherwise? Maybe it was there was a strong sense of hate, divided almost evenly between two people which stood, figuratively, before her. Nabby and Fate, but somehow Fate's existence seemed to tear him apart more? She ignored the thoughts again. Somehow they had changed course and were now directed at her.[/font]

"You have a kingdom. You have a place in the hearts of others as a leader....I am aware that you suffer. A good look at you shows it, but why let it get to you like it does?...In the end it's all this hate locked inside, and the erosion of happiness that weighs you down. Moods are easily reversed, but you have to give it a chance. You are not the only one, that has been torn on the inside. We all have, the immortals have. The mortals, foolish because of it, just don't have to live with it.......Our actions, our words, and our past is what makes us all who we are. Does it not? Sometimes our special attributes, our talents, combine and get us at the stage we are....some would consider us gods. Why do we not look at it that way? Because we know what it is like, to never escape."[/color]

Callie gave her response, innocently. Again it was in a whisper. As she questioned him on the last part, before ending her statement, she raised her eyebrow and looked at him. This time an expression of care and worry was on her face. Though she was of no significance, and believed it, she couldn't help but feel bad for him. Somewhere inside, he was capable of being polite. What had these people pushed him to? A severe edge of violent hate...[/font]

"That is at least what I think....what I believe. With all do respect, of course." She looked away from him then, looking back at the ground. Ignoring thoughts, sometimes intrusion only lead to changed opinions. When she felt somewhat confident again, she lifted her head up a ways, and stared at the sky off in the distance. Her expression a peaceful one.[/color]

He could feel her pushing at his mind, going through every single thought he had, yet, as she spoke to him and he let Callie's words wash over his being, she pulled away. She was resisting being in his head, was she? He was thankful for her manners, not intruding on his head, yet, it intrigues him further. Most mind readers made it their business to stick their noses into people's business- he gave a small, fleeting glance to Mya at this. His mind mulled over all she had spoken and he saw the wisdom within those words. She was intelligent, a wise immortal who wasn't foolish and thought that their immortality brought them no consequences.

His golden eyes looked to her and he flicked a piece of black hair from his face, the raven mane falling peacefully behind his shoulder. "You are smart. Most others do not have the insight that you behold." He commented to her. She was a beauty. Not just physically, but mentally as well. Her mind was expandable, her knowledge was unlimited. He honestly, if he truely wanted to say something, he wouldn't mind have her by his side for eternity.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie shrugged with a small smirk. She put the hood of her jacket back on her head. She looked up at the sky for a second before dropping her gaze. [/font]

"I appreciate the compliment.....Others, including myself, do not have the strength or knowledge you have. You just don't have time to show it, because you are angry a lot, or angered...Correct?"

She looked at him then with a smile. She looked away soon after, to try and hide her blush. Some of her hair fell in a strand along the side of her face, she left it there. Her hair was constantly in her face anyway. She again ignored thoughts, she tried to ignore a small vibe of interest coming from him. She was afraid of like, love, attraction. She had lost people before, and constantly she outlived the ones she loved. She wasn't sure whether or not she was able to take that step. Time would tell. [/color]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

.xXx.Lucifer Sven.xXx.

He took an assesment of Callie. Her looks were gorgeous- something to spend an eternity with. Surely, if one were to make a statue of her graceful looks, it would be worth more that the world in money. Her mentality did not speak of closed-mindedness, it was open, accepting... understanding. And her politeness, to try and and pull away from thoughts, even when those thoughts concerned her. He hummed a single note, the sound vibrating from his chest. "Angered. But, not normally. It's just circumstances here that are making me... how I am." He spoke softly.

His eyes followed the piece of hair that fell over her rosy cheek and here goes one of his finer OCD moments. His hand quickly flashed out to tuck it behind her ear. Yet, as soon as the back of his fingers met the heated flesh on her face, he froze. The hair was still in her face (kind of) and he was still as could be. His golden eyes gazed at her, begging for some sort of explanation as to why he was reading these signals as they were- why he was also feeling these signals.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie pulled her hood over her head, she looked down after looking at him again. She shoved her hands in her pants pockets and rocked back and forth on her feet for a second. She cleared her throat, which was barely heard, before she spoke.[/font]

"It's...um....just a bit overwhelming to read the signals you give out. Don't get me wrong, you are an interesting person. But I shouldn't be reading thoughts here...Not one's that include myself...I'm surprised that I've interested you so much as to carry on a conversation. Even one with such a depressing subject, it was nice to have one with someone like myself. But I barged in when I shouldn't have...I'm sorry. G'day Sir."

She looked at the others before she turned and began to walk away. She had to get out of here, before she was left falling for someone without any reason. She had given years to getting to a point where love no longer interested her, and the appearance of someone just like her, so easily sparked it? She couldn't believe it. Before she knew it, she had picked up speed to where she was running. [/font]

Callie stopped suddenly after a few minutes, out of breath, she looked up at the sky with a deep inhale. She took the hood off her head, and removed her jacket draping it over her arm. She took a look behind her, no one in sight, but that didn't mean anything. She pondered whether to stop and collect her thoughts, or to continue walking. She looked at the side of the small trail, and decided to sit down on a rock. She did so, placing her elbows on her thighs, her head leaning over to rest in her palms. Her hair fell around her, like always. She had to preoccupy herself, and get over it. There was no hope, and all it seemed was that she was playing hard to get. [/color]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

.xXx.Lucifer sven.xXx.

He jerked his hand back as she put the hood over her head, fire seemed to spark from his finger tips, leaving small red whelps and he pressed the burned apendages against his other palm to soothe the mild pain. Fire? Interesting. Lucifer no longer was aware of Fate, of Nabain, of Kari, of Mya, of anything in that area. As Callie spoke, his mind raced to come up with a solution to fix the problem. He didn't want her to leave, but he didn't want to scare her either. She was the first immortal he'd seen in ages that he hadn't wanted to decapitate. Her words stilled him and he was a few seconds late to realize that she'd run off.

With a growl, ripped violently from his throat, he gave into the chase. He tracked her down, and once he had caught up with her, he teleported to the trees, looking down at the beauty of an immortal. She sat on a rock, and though she was slouched, he couldn't help but think that she was still gorgeous. He silently leaped down from the tree. His feet making a small, deft thud against the rock as he landed beside her. "Don't expect to get away that easily." He spoke, his tone barely above a whisper. His mind reeled through possibilities as to why she was scared of him. He crouched, on the ends of his toes, his elbows resting against his thighs. His hand flicked out carefully as he gently touched her elbow. "If I scare you, please tell me. And tell me why." He spoke, the whisper rasping against his lips as it slid out of his throat. His golden eyes were shining vibrantly as he stared at the side of her face, wanting to brush away her hair once again, but he wouldn't risk doing that again.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie shut her eyes and shook her head slowly. She opened her eyes turning her head slightly towards him. She used her hand to move the hair from her face, before speaking. Her arm gently resting on her thigh once more. [/font]

"You don't scare me...Who can scare you when you don't die....The only thing that scares me is once you've loved people, and they've died, and you decided to not love ever again, that one person could strike sudden interest. I don't want to loose anyone again. I won't be able to bare it again."[/color]

Callie sat up straight, she held her eyes closed for a moment. She held back tears, tears that had been trapped inside for so long. 'Forever' was a long time, she ignored her own thoughts. She ignored his. She drew in a breath, slowly, silently, and let it out. She looked at him then, a small smile, a quick smile. Then she looked down, the smile fading swiftly, almost as if she hadn't smiled to begin with. [/color]

[Sora]

Sora lazily walked through the forest. Up ahead the temperature and atmosphere usually changed and this was Sora' s favorite place to just sit and think. Unfortunately, as she approached the area, it seemed that others had already occupied the space and seemed to be in the middle of a conversation. She slowly approached them...

[!Wolfo.x;;]

. L u c i f e r . S v e n

He listened to her words carefully and saw the truth behind them. No one could scare them, not even time could scare an immortal, it was their strength that scared the nuts out of them. Immortals could be killed only by physical wounds. Mentally, they were tormented, but not killed. They could not die of heartache, their bodies uneffected by disease. Losing someone hurt, it hurt like no other thing in the world and Lucifer could understand that. He had stood by the deathbed of many a lover of his, watching them whither away to nothing and the only immortal he ever loved had left a bad taste in the back of his throat. His golden eyes looked over her face, his wings twitching ever so slightly.

He had sparked her interest? So it was a mutual thing? He wasn't the only one who had suddenly found an interest between them. He could understand how it could terrify her, the pain of losing someone was something you never got over. He took her hand gently, bringing it up to his face and pressing his lips gently on her knuckles, his eyes locking onto hers for signs. He didn't want to frighten her, not again. "I understand." He whispered against her skin.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie felt another presence, someone else was around. New words, in thoughts, murs murs, phrases. She looked up, she smiled lightly as she heard Lucifer's words, either through his mind or his mouth she wasn't sure. She narrowed her eyes at the trees across the path, then she looked up, no one. She looked at Lucifer, her expression showed she was focused on something, then she actually looked at him, zoning in. [/font]

"I suppose some feelings, past haunts, and nightmares all take a while to forget and move on. As for my belief on possible relationships, I just have to get to know the person first. And I also believe we have company...."

Callie turned her head back toward the road, she looked around again. They were close, but not yet close enough to be heard. She listened for a long moment, straining her hearing almost, then she heard it, a bush was hit. The leaves made a "swwssh" sound, it was a ways away. She looked back at Lucifer, by now he had to have heard it.

[!Wolfo.x;;]

. L u c i f e r . S v e n

Her words pierced him to the core. Forget? No one ever forgot, they just replaced memories with other ones. He would not expect her to say such words and he racked his brain, trying to figure out how to reply to her wisdom. He looked to her, his golden eyes attempting to lock with hers. "I would not expect an immortal to forget their pain, to forget their feelings and nightmares; it's what keeps us living." He spoke, his words coming out slowly, trying to register his own voice within his mind.

Did he really have such insight, was it the truth? Of course it was, at least for him it was. She was the second immortal he had met, and he really didn't bother to know Kia/Fate. Callie on the other hand, from her words of wisdom, he thought it safe to assume that she followed this unwritten rule.

Yes, he knew someone else was there, and he scowled, his golden optics looking pointedly in the direction of the newcomer. Half of him was greatful for someone new- it brought the potential of someone who didn't annoy him such as that werewolf and Fate. But he was also angry, they had interrupted probably the most fasinating talk he had achieved in a long, long time. "Is your life worth hiding? Show yourself." He spoke calmly, but he unconsciously tightened his grip on Callie's hand, ever so slightly.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie looked at him with a small smirk, she shook her head lightly. Her eyes danced towards the woods, almost seemed as if no one was there at all. She cocked her head, the voice that was once there had stopped. She felt his hand tighten on hers, his thoughts of anger and happiness all at once flooded her mind. She shook it off, standing up. Her hand turned under his to gently grasp it.[/font]

"So Lucifer." She smirked again, as she said the name. She liked the name, it was a very interesting name, and in which fit a very interesting person. She looked at him again.[/font] "If you would, and if it's not too much to demand, can you tell me about yourself?"

She tried ignoring the fact that another presence interfered. Whether or not they meant harm, she was sure, two immortals could handle them. And she had a feeling Lucifer was planning to protect her even if the individual turned out to be friendly.[/font]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

. L u c i f e r . S v e n

All at once, the signs of a person being there were gone. There was nothing for his eyes to lock onto in that direction, save a few branches. He clenched his eyes, briefly. He must have been imagining things. Fancy that, to add to his list of problems, he was going insane. But Callie's voice pulled him from his thoughts, and he faced her. He could feel her hand shift against his and let a smile slip onto his face. A leaf fell from the tree tops above them and his wing shot out in a smooth motion to stop it from touching her. "Of course, so long as you return the favor." He said in a coy tone. His wing folded back, matching it's partner behind him and he let the smile slip into his eyes. It was rare he had something to make him happy like this.

"I am the Immortal King of Royaume, let's say I'm not completely proud of my past... or how my wings turned black..."

[/b] He trailed off, wondering if she wanted to know more from him. His fingers curled around her hand, a soft touch, like he was afraid she might flee if he made any sudden movements. His past, he would eventually tell her. He was proud of it, but it got him by. He had lived long enough to know that most people weren't proud of what they did, but they couldn't change it. It was a sad fact of life...[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie listened. She remembered that he was the king. She remembered before his hatred toward Fate. She looked at him, and stopped. Her eyes trying to read his for a second. His mind right now, was more focused on how ashamed he was apparently of some things. She cocked her head. [/font]

"If I may ask, sorry to change the subject, but, about Fate before...what exactly..was...the issue? You seemed terribly bored, angry, indifferent. Apathetic to say the least. And I'm sorry if I've brought up a sensitive subject, It's definitely not my place."

She turned removing her gaze from his face. She looked out before them, it was, different. The situation, it was almost too good to be true, she was exactly like him. Only he was the darker side, and she was merely the light, and weak. She tensed her jaw for a second thinking, a small curious expression on her face. She looked at him again, as if to see what was troubling. But she couldn't tell, she closed off his thoughts. An invasion of privacy, was only appropriate in certain circumstances.[/font]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

. L u c i f e r . S v e n

His ears rang as he focused on her sweet voice, it was unlike any he had ever heard before and he shook his head to her request. Changing the subject? No, not a problem, he needed a change. "She and I used to have a thing. I was unwilling to leave Royaume, and Kia was unwilling to leave hers... Kia and Fate are one person. When I found out that Fate was already married, it was like heing betrayed, and so I left to protect myself."

[/b] He answered her question, his voice soft and his eyes searching her face for many things.

He couldn't look away from her and he knew that it was rude. Did she notice how he stared? He hoped not, but then again, if he saw her looking at him, wasn't she looking too? He snorted at this logic, but gave a warm smile to Callie, hoping that he had answered her question.[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie flashed a cute smile. She subconsciously twirled a strand of hair around her finger. She thought about what he said. She cocked her head as he spoke. She nodded when he stopped. She still wore the same smile, even as she talked. [/font]

"Hm. I understand how you'd feel, I'm not sure I'd have even be able to see the person again. I'm rather weak when it comes to love, corrupt love. It's hard for me to like someone usually, to have such thoughts. Especially when someone's life is involved. But in that case, that's is a definite betrayal. I'm sorry that happened to you, pray it never happens again. You don't deserve that."[/font]

She looked away, after a while it made her seem as if he could see straight into her soul. But she had spoken the truth, she herself, thought of herself as too obvious. Somehow, Lucifer made it seem she wasn't. She heard the question in his mind, she laughed lightly. Two questions. She looked at him, and smirked.[/font]

"I understand. We all stare when we like someone."[/font]

With that she looked away, and up the path. A gust blew, blowing her hair, it gently rose and fell with the rush of wind. She gently squeezed his hand.[/color]

[epikwonder]

-Caleb-

As the tall, blonde guy stooped over, examining some small, green plants growing by the dirt path, a gust of wind blew by him and alerted him to the presence of two figures just ahead. Curious, he decided to go and greet them.

"Why, hello there!"

Just as he called out and headed toward them, he tripped on a tree root and went sprawling face forward onto the ground, his arms flailing.

[!Wolfo.x;;]

. L u c i f e r . S v e n

He smiled as she read into his thoughts about staring and loved the way the winds gently carressed her face and hair. It was a sight to behold. He felt a jolt pass through his body as she squeezed his hand and he softly returned the gesture to her before pulling her a bit closer to himself and pulling her into his lap. He gave her another smile- one that crinkled the edges of his eyes in a soothing manner. "You also tend to become a different person when you like someone." He commented, his hand still linked with hers.

He opened his mouth to say something, but the sound of someone falling cut off his words and he mouthed the word 'later' to her before fixing his eyes upon the intruder. The golden orbs promised fury and pain if the other did not have a good reason for interrupting them. His wings spread out behind him to make him seem more intimidating and he narrowed his eyes, pin pointing the fallen boy who had entered. "What do you want?"

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie smirked as he pulled her into his lap. She jerked her head to the left, as the guy fell. She cocked her head, she wasn't sure if she should move to help, or stay there. She decided to stay, she only moved herself so her legs were across his lap. Her hand still holding his. She looked at Lucifer and gave a small warning look and smirked before looking toward the boy again.[/font]

"I think he's lost....he's of no danger." She whispered the first part, so only Lucifer could hear. The second part was a normal voice.[/font] [/font]"What do you want..?"[/color][/font]

It came out more irritated than she meant it to, but she didn't have time to correct it. She really wished he'd go away, but she couldn't let herself be mean. They'd have a bit more alone time later, and usually she wasn't selfish, but, it just so happened he had to walk in right when she was having a good time. She looked to the left, at the trees, but turned back a few seconds later. She'd let Lucifer handle it, he could scare him off, without her having to feel bad.[/font]
