Alexei was having a horrible day.
First of all, it was sunny. He hated the sun. It made everything way too hot, itchy, sweaty and... well, hot.
Secondly, when it was hot, it made Alexei have even more a chance at falling over or embarassing himself. He didn't know why... perhaps it was a kinda anti-power? So he had to pay for his powers by having huge downfall powers also.
Alexei shrugged the idea off as he exited the school main door out into the gardens. He groaned as he saw many other people lounging around, rolling his eyes as some junior kids showed off their swimming powers over at the lake, pushing theirselves out of the water and doing amazing stunts.
Show offs.
Alexei began to descend the steps, covering his heavily scarred arms with his jumper sleeves. Nobody knew about his past, and he intended on keeping it that way.
His heart skipped a beat as he brought his foot down and found nothing, and it wasn't until a sixteenth of a second later that he decided he was falling.
Forcing his power into his fingers, he began to phase into a giant pillow. Graceful, no, but effective, yes. The red hot feeling scorched through Alexei, as the tips of his fingers lost feeling. He knew that he had begun to change into the pillow already.
But luck wasn't on his side.
Alexei yet out a yell as his face collided with the floor first, his nose cracking horribly and blood bursting out from it. He winced as the pain hit him, and the many people on the school grounds laughing at him.
He was such a dork sometimes. His transformation completed as the burning came to a halt, turning the rest of him from human to pillow. If he was a human, he would have blushed at his klutziness. Shuddering as he turned back to human, he bluched fiercily against the embarrasement. He ran off to his left toward the shade of the trees, as of yet uninhabited by the evil students. He didn't bother picking his books back up, he just wanted to get away.
He sighed and slumped down at the trunk of a tree, concealed and hidden. A tear dropped down his face as he heard some burly sounding boys shouting out insults behind him.
''Fag!''
''Poof!''
''Boyliker!''
Their words hurt him, and reminded him of the time his father had beat him.
Alexei sighed as he shut his eyes, attempting to block out the other boys taunting behind him.

 L O V E M E B A B Y& I W I L L L O V E Y O U B A C KJUST LIKE WE ALWAYS USED TO BACK IN THE OLD DAYS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Lounging on her bed, she uncrossed her legs, eyes locked onto the silver mist that she knew meant her dad was probably popping in to pay her a visit. When the mist formed into her dad, Javier, looking just like he did, healthy and clean, before he had gotten really sick, thin and pale. Blue eyes narrowed slightly as Javier murmured something, and she then stood up suddenly, startling him as she tugged on her tank-top and a pair of short black shorts. Grabbing her black flats with a red bow on each of the toe parts, she grinned to herself and mused, "Papí, estoy saliendo." He nodded, and soon vanished as she headed outside of her dorm, rubbing her temple, ruffling her dark hair slightly. Blasted layers. Making a mental note to make sure that she got it cut out she wanted, someone suddenly bumped into her. Gasping, she glared at them, getting their thoughts as they leered back and left.
Boys will be boys. Heading outside - crap - what was she going to do? Biting her bottom lip, she tried to back-track, but to no success. "I'm a failure with my memory." she mused to herself as she sauntered around the garden, eyes shifting when she noticed people showing off in the lake with their powers. Smirking to herself, she raised her hand, and an invisible solid layer appeared over the surface of the water. A guy was in the air, and hit it, note, he wasn't very far up, so he would just probably get a bruise. He frowned, and she giggled, before releasing it and he dropped into the water, and she shouted, "Be careful when you get stuck in the air!" Shaking her head and sitting down near some flowers, before noticing someone fall almost.
Their face hit the ground and she grimaced, he seemed - vaguely familiar. Maybe they had a class together or something. Tilting her head innocently, she stood, and realized he left his books, before hearing shouts. Frowning, her eyes locked onto the boys causing the trouble, and she spoke to them through thought, changing their thoughts, "You were about to just take a nap, now you're getting sleepy." Their eyelids drooped and the name-calling ceased. Bending down, the young woman picked up the books gently, before lifting her gaze, searching for the guy who had dropped them. Heading to where she thought he'd gone, when she spotted him under the shade, she paused, and grinned weakly, "Here are your books."
[/color] She set them down by him, and checked over his nose, and crouched down by the dark-haired guy, and offered, "Want me to get you something for your nose?"[/color] Ok, she stuck up for the under-dog, or what-ever, the victim, etc. of the bullies here at Foxglove. Granted, most of them played sports here, and had "stronger" powers, such as super-strength, and all those ones a human jock would love to have. Offering him a gentle smile, feeling her accent slip in, she spoke, "I'm Alexandrea Yousif, Alexa if you want, or Zuls, since my middle name's Zuleika."[/color] Shutting herself up, she didn't expect a name in return, as she made sure his books were fine, and eyed him silently, hoping he'd be all right.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/center] STATUS // finished

Alexei brought his knees up to his chest, ignoring the bloody mess of his nose. He oculd heal it if he wanted, but he couldn't be bothered. His mind was preoccupied with a sudden image of his fuming father. He shuddered back into the tree as he remembered...
''Get up you fag bastard!''
The brawny, bald man kicked the boy in the ribs again, a resounding crack filling the small room. An armchair lay in the corner, whilst the boy lied pitifully against the sofa. He wasn't going to fight back, he had had too much.
The boy screeched in pain, as another crack sounded, this time caused by himself. The rib which had been broken was now fixed, but his father snarled again, kicking him twice as hard. Alexei whimpered in defeat, resting his head against the sofa as quiet tears spilt down his face..
Alexei's head snapped up at a girl, holding his books. For a moment, he was startled, and, if it weren't for the tree behind him, would have probably fell backwards.
Cocking his head to the side, he frowned as he looked at her. She was beautiful, and could have easily fitted into the popular clique's around the school (Which were over-crowded with mind readers, being that they could search out any gossip in anyone's heads and spread it as soon as possible), but she seemed... different. Like popularity didn't bother her.
Alexei scolded himself mentally for juding her on her looks, because, for all he knew, she could have been a nice person.
''Here are your books.''
Alexei's eyes widened as he saw the girl holding the books of his, that he foolishly had left behind. Most important of all was his notebook on the top of the pile. It was the place where he wrote all of his lyrics, some of them good, some totally embarassing. He blushed a little as he eyes her warily.
''This isn't a joke, right?'' He asked in his soft, musical voice. He was proud of the fact that he had a good voice, naturally purring and rich. He warily eyed the girl, maybe even a hint of fear in his eyes. He was past caring about hiding his emotions; it all got too much if he did try to.
Alexei's hand flicked to his nose in the blink of an eye, as he felt warm blood still coating it. He smiled weakly at her question, feeling the burning sensation of change in his nose. He touched it again, feeling the smooth, clean shape of it. He could change body parts of his at will, even change into different things, such as the air. It was easy for him.
''I've got it'' Alexei smiling slightly, listening to her name. ''Hi Alexandra, my name's Alexei'' He smiled at both their names. ''Kinda similiar, huh?''

Biting her bottom lip for a moment, the dark-haired teen dropped his books, but a force field caught them and gently lowered them to the ground next to the guy. As they made eye contact, she knew he was a shifter, having seen him turn himself into a pillow, then, as the blood from his nose remained, but it looked like he'd healed it over. Tilting her head, she crouched down and grinned softly his way, though frowned when he asked about this being a joke. Arching a dark eyebrow playfully, she inquired, "No, it isn't...I don't even know how it could actually be a joke."
[/color] she admitted, grinning sheepishly, "But I assure you, it isn't."[/color] Looking to his eyes, which she'd admit her a lovely blue, she noticed the look in them. Worry, sadness. Was she intimidating him? She'd like to know how, but she'd like to know why he was intimidated, if that's what this was. Backing off sligthly, she'd admit, since she'd been raised differently, with a family of multiple siblings, she had different personal space opinions, and therefore, she deemed she tended to get too close sometimes, if she didn't think about it. Grinning lightly, Alexa smiled as he gave her his name, Alexei. She nodded her head once, thinking of his name for a few seconds flats as she responded, laughing lightly. Her laugh - she'd always liked her laugh, it seemed light and care-free. Then, when he'd spoke, it was a nice sound - she'd admit, and Alexa responded, "Yeah, let's try not and get people confused."[/color] she winked playfully, people thinking he was Alex and she was Alexei or something like that. That happened a few times with her older sister, Elisabeth, though Lis, as her siblings called her had slightly lighter hair than Alexa, when they put their hair up, they looked very similiar, except Alexa was a bit more petite than her. Grinning, Alexa gestured towards the people from earlier, "Ignore them, they got nothing better to do with their time."[/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/center] STATUS // finished

Alexei nodded his head a small amount, his blue eyes relaxing as he heard the tone of disgust in her voice when she asked how it could even be a joke. From that moment on, Alexei sealed an invisible relationship bond between them. It was another mediocre power for him, to be able to seal and solidify relationships between himself and others. Alexandra seemed to be quite nice, and, anyone who went out of their way to return books to other people, in Alexei's books, deserved automatic friendship status.
He frowned a bit as she leaned back away from him. Was he scaring her? or was his nose perhaps a bit out of place. His self consciousness took over him as he automatically changed his nose to another, hoping she didn't notice. Maybe that was better, Alexei pulling his knees back up to his chest.
As she laughed, it took Alexei's breath away, as he looked back curiously. Her laugh was... musical. Mesmerising. He probably looked dumb, his mouth opened slightly. Like he was watching a film at the pictures. He simply nodded, listening to her laugh again. He only managed a smile at her. Even if you could call it that. He was simply... fascinated.
He was snapped out of this illusions when she mentioned the others, reality smacking him voilently back in his face. Okay, the was unexpected. His hands automatically began to tug his sleeves down on his arms as the thought of bullies brought the image of his father into his head. Hep robably looked stupid, wearing sleeves in this hot weather, but if he didn't, he'd get called 'emo' because of the scars. Even though he didnt make them.
''Oh, they're nothing'' He said weakly, his eyes conveniently finding a troipical bird in a tree above him. ''They've got such strange animals around here. Heh, I bet they're attracted to us guys. Strange attracts strange, huh?''
He'd admit it, he was trying to divert the conversation from bullies. The gaping hole in his chest hadn't completely healded up yet.

L O V E M E B A B Y& I W I L L L O V E Y O U B A C KJUST LIKE WE ALWAYS USED TO BACK IN THE OLD DAYS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Peering at Alexei, she was always curious about others' powers. When Alexei mentioned about them being nothing, her fury ignited, though she didn't do anything. It would be stupid to do something to them when it was already over and done with. Course, she made a mental note to keep an eye on others when she was out here, though she knew that note would vanish within a few minutes with her short-term memory problems. She just hoped her parents didn't remember that when Christmas came around and Alexandrea was off to San Diego or New York to see them. A slight frown appeared on her features when Alexei looked up, and Alexa followed his gaze, and noticed an unusually-colored bird. Eyes flickered over it, before she glanced back down to him, before a large bird, one from another dimension, that only she could see because of her summoning, the large bird lunged at the other one.
The good thing, the creatures couldn't harm humans, except her that she knew of, and other animals. The bird above them screeched as the other one came for it...thankfully it ran before the creature got it. Cringing, Alexa nodded, "Yeah, but only the strange can know the beauty the normal will never see in the world." she grinned weakly, before muttering, "Sorry about the bird...." She stood up and stretched lightly, enjoying stretching her muscles slightly, before waving her hand, and the large bird that looked like between a cross of a peacock and falcon was brought to their dimension, and physical. She snapped her fingers, "Be nice to the smaller birds." the bird fell lightly to the ground, and clicked its beak their way, Alexa smiled weakly, "She scared your bird off."

Alexei stared up at the bird as a small silence overcame them both. It wasn't one of those akward silences that was... well... difficult to get through without blushing. It was a thoughtful silence. It gave him a space of time to think about her powers.
So, what could she do? Curiosity burned like a red hot poker inside of him, but he didn't mention it, as it was kinda rude, asking others about their powers here at Foxglove. He ended up phasing his hair a rainbow of colours, all in such a flash that his hair was just a multicoloured blur.
Alexei was taken back as the bird screeched and flew away all of a sudden, pushing himself intinctively back against the tree and cocking his head slightly to the side in curiosity.
Why had the bird ran away all of a sudden? Alexandra broke the silence, and Alexei nodded in reluctant agreement. He had always wanted to just be... normal. It was way too risky, to do the stuff in life that he wanted to do, without having complete control over them. Still, when he experienced extreme emotions, he would phase to the animal, or object that would portray that emotion strongest.
Alexei's eyes widened in amazement as he saw the girl click her finger and a bigger bird appear. It was beautiful.
And Alexandra's talent amazed him. He had never seen anything like it before. Perhaps a few watered-down versions, yes, but her... power, made them look like simple parlour tricks. Alexei frowned, a mediocre feeling of sadness puncture his stomach. His powers were mediocre compared to alot of peoples here at Foxglove.
He was simply a shapeshifter, who could recognise scents and not be located. He shared these 'talents' with many other people in the school. And to think, that he was the same as all those other people, it made him... uneasy. He was different, but, even though he was, he had simply common talents.
He awoke from his daydream, smiling at the beautiful bird.
''She's lovely'' Alexei breathed lightly, then turning his head up to peer at Alexandra curiously. ''Pretty awesome talent, you have there. How does it work?'' Alexei bit his lip as the thought of him sounding rude occured to him. ''I don't mean to be rude.. i'm just... curious'' He affirmed, finally picking the right word.

L O V E M E B A B Y& I W I L L L O V E Y O U B A C KJUST LIKE WE ALWAYS USED TO BACK IN THE OLD DAYS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Shifting gently, Alexa then sat down on the softer ground, and tilted her head slightly, then eyed Alexei and the peacock-falcon cross that inched towards them warily. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted one of the Leeches, she called them. They were about a foot or so long, and only about 8 inches high. Little bugs, she called them, and always had a minimum of 10-15 in their little packs. Glaring towards it, she watched as the ghost-like pack moved past the bird that was nearing them, their beady eyes watching the summoner. Fixing her attention back on Alexei, she smiled weakly, and spoke, "She is, though she's a trouble-maker." Though, when he asked how it worked, the Puerto Rican paused, debating on how to answer this specific question. Javier, her father's ghost materalized by Alexei, and began to gather energy, making the air cold around them, she gestured, "Well..for example, there's a ghost near you, gathering energy, why it's getting a little cold."
[/color] She shrugged, "Don't worry, you're not being rude." The bird lowered her head, her sharp beak brushing against Alexa's hand. Reaching up, the young woman petted the silky feathers, before letting it step towards Alexei, it's sharp talons, like a falcon's, attached to a peacock-like body mostly, though her tail was large like a peacock's, she had large wings, folded against her slightly longer body to enable her to fly, "You know, mediumship, right?"[/color] Most people did. There were a few classes where a teacher talked about the different kinds of powers, and what they could do, "Mine's...like mediumship for this dimension and a few others. I see ghosts, and can summon creatures, like her, but only if I can see them. I can't just go and summon...say, like a dog animal out of thin air, they have to be around."[/color] The bird clicked her beak at Alexei, bright colorful eyes peering at his blue ones, "I can summon anything pretty much if it's nearby."[/color] Yes, that seemed to suit it. Curiously, Alexa pressed, "What about you? If you don't mind me asking? Is your shifting limitless?"[/color] She would love to be able to shift into anything or anyone whenever she wanted, but she herself now, could go invisible, she presumed, which couldn't be half-bad. But, she was curious to learn more about Alexei's power, "Don't worry though, the creatures as ghosts can't harm anyone really, except me, unless they're in the physical form, like her...but she's one of the more...docile ones."[/color] she cringed slightly, though grinned weakly, reassuring Alexei it was all good.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/center] STATUS // finished

Alexei smiled as she commented about the bird. It was absoloutely beautiful. She pecked at the ground for a moment, then looked over curiously at Alexei, pecking her beak at something beside him. He looked towards his right to see what she was clicking her beak at, but he couldn't see anything.
That was when the cold hit. It was, all of a sudden, un-characteristically cold and Alexei pulled his legs up to his chest and wrapped his arm around them, trying to preserve some of the heat. It wasn't immensely cold, it was just as if a constant chilly breeze was blowing through the trees.
Alexei's looked questionningly at her, wondering if this was another power of hers, to manipulate the temperature of the air around them.
He nodded as she explained it, shivering away slightly from his right where there was apparently a ghost. He didn't like all of that kind of stuff, including all the ghost-under-the-bed-sheets image or the horror mental picture of the grim reaper, hood concealing his face. Instinctively, he moved a few inches towards Alexandra, in hope that, if he was closer to her, the ghost may be more... reluctant, to freak him out.
''That's quite..'' Alexei tried to decide on a word, without insulting her. ''creepy'' he decided, hoping he hadn't sounded rude. ''Is the ghost, like, angry or whatever?''
Alexei hoped he didn't sound rude asking, but, truth be told, that kind of stuff frightened him, even more than his own past. He kept his arms wrapped tightly around his legs, staring at the space she had indicated that the ghost was gathering energy.
''Will I be able to see the ghost, if it gathers enough energy? Or maybe hear him or her?'' Alexei questionned. The fear was pushed to the side as he wondered about her maybe being able to call back the dead... his thoughts were straight away on his mother. A strong hope was rising in his stomach, spiralling upwards towards his mouth. He had to fight strongly against the want to ask her. ''Can you call, or maybe ask, other ghosts to... come over?'' Alexei asked, trying to find a safe way through the mine field. He didn't want to upset her,r or make it sound like he was too interested. ''What maybe you or others have a link with around you?''
He turned to look at her speculatively as she asked about his powers. The sense of defeat, of jealousness for others powers filled him now. He didn't like being this... ungrateful, but he couldn't help it. He could hear the curious edge in her voice.
''Yeah, my shifting is limitless. Watch this'' Alexei fought back the want to shout as the burning pain overcame him again, and, all of a sudden, he could see everything. The seas, clouds, cities, lakes, rivers, amusement parks, shops, houses and everyone within the 200 mile radius of himself. He finally located Foxglove, taking a further minute to locate Alexandra and where he just was. It was hard locating specific things when he phased into the air. But the feeling was wonferful, the freedom. He calmly aimed a breeze of wind down the back of Alexandra's neck. It was enough to maybe cool the hot rays of the sun, not enough to freak her out. He could uproot the trees if he wante to, but decided against it, not wanting to hurt or scare her.
He felt the burning pain again as he phased back to himself, uncomfortable tingling in his fingers. He disliked the restictiveness of his human form.
''I was the air, and could see everything in a 200 mile radius'' Alexei explained. ''That breeze on your neck, that was me, It was hard to locate where we were, though, because, being omnipresent like that makes it hard to focus being in more one are than others.''
''I only used to be able to see things in a 20 mile or so radius when I first got here, a few years back. But the projection classes have taught me how to force myself out further than that.'' Alexei smiled weakly at her. ''I shouldn't have really picked air, though. I mean, if someone else in 200 miles would have been phased to air at the time, it would have created a HUGE'' [/b]he emphasised the word. ''chemical and air reaction. At worst, it would have been like a massive great hurricane.''
He enjoyed telling her about his 'talents'. She was a good listener.
''The drawback is that, whenever I phase, it burns like hell'' Alexei flinched slightly. ''Every piece of my body feels like it is on fire, and, well, as you can probably guess, it's the most painful feeling ever''
''I have a few mediocre powers aswell. For example, no tracker or person with a scouting power can ever find me'' He shrugged. This power wasn't really that big, just helpful if, all of a sudden, he created a big destruction on the school and ran away. ''My other power is I can remember any scent that I have smelled before. I dunno if it's because I enjoy phasing into a wolf so much, because they have excellent smell. But it has improved my smell, and, well'' He grinned at her. ''you have a very distinct smell'' He smiled broadly at her. ''It's a sort of sweet and flowery aroma, like a matured perfume. At the same time, it has a kind of... naturally earthy smell, which most caribbean civilians have. I think I would be correct if I say that you are a very, well, north caribbean smell. Am I correct that you are from there?''
He then rested back against the tree, shaking his hands to try get rid of the tingling feeling that phasing into the air brought on him.

Hace frío para nosotros."
[/color] He paused, though soon, an outline could be seen, she started to see the usual mist that he emitted as a ghost begin to vanish, and a solid-like form began to appear from him. Alexei got closer, she didn't really mind it, as Javier's form would have an outline, so Alexei could see. Scowling, Alexa scolded, "Tiene miedo, deja!"[/color] Her father stopped gathering energy, and therefore the temperature began to rise back to where it had been before, as the bird clicked her beak, and began to wander off. Alexa sighed, "Hold on, you."[/color] she slapped the ground, a dull glow came from where her hand-print had been, and the bird vanished, but she could still see it. "No, he just wants you to know he's there...and he's ignoring me."[/color] she reassured him. At his inquiries, Alexa nodded calmly, watching as the peacock-falcon bird vanished back into its own dimension, off into the large field surrounding Foxglove, which she could tell was swarmed with animals. Probably because, when they were solid, she'd learned, they were warmer, felt - better, hence why they stuck around her. Javier had warned her, but her being the stubborn daughter, said no and still summoned them anyway. "You can probably now see an outline...it's my dad, well..sorta. He's the dad to all my siblings, but raised me as his own."[/color] she eyed as the ghost vanished, "Everyone can always hear ghosts, it's just a matter of wanting to hear and listen to them."[/color] she nodded once, then frowned at his question about getting one to come here. Pausing, she glanced towards Javier, who nodded and spoke, so Alexei could hear too, "Sí, I can go to the...Yard, what we call it. Do you wish to see someone?" It wasn't the first time Alexa had someone ask something like him, she didn't mind though, not at all. Though, when the concept of his powers came up, she immediately silenced herself, and watched, then gasped in surprise when he suddenly vanished. Reaching to where his shoulder would be, she found he wasn't there, intangibility and invisibility? Looking around, blowing back her stubborn hair, she tensed when a breeze went down her neck - highly unusual. But - was it Alexei? Unable to hide the light grin she got, when Alexei returned. Making she she "turned off" her telepathy, she enjoyed the silence she got when she did this, ignoring everyone's thoughts but her own, the ghosts and the creatures only she could see. Course, as that happened, she felt a suddenly - tingling over her body, something was going on. She bit her bottom lip, and glanced around, just to spot a force field had happened and coiled around her arm, causing it to disappear. Shaking it off, the field vanished, as she tuned in to what he had to say. Hearing, her eyes went wide slightly, 200 miles, if someone else went into the air the same time, a hurricane or something would happen. Hoping no one else would even think of that, she nodded solemnly, "Wow."[/color] she breathed slightly, before he smiled broadly. She smiled back, she was usually affected by others' smiles. Her smell, all this, then he mentioned the caribbean, and a certain smell they had. Javier, beside her chuckled lightly, and mused, "Pues, eres de allí, pero no por cuantos años?" Shooting him a look, the opposite side of her where Alexei was on, Alexa nodded silently, surprised, "Yeah, my family's from there."[/color] she grinned, and added, "San Juan, Puerto Rico."[/color] She was shocked, but impressed, his powers were pretty cool, she'd admit, "I think those powers are pretty awesome, Alexei, your shifting and the smells and non-tracking."[/color] she nodded, "I'm impressed about the smell too, with where I'm from....where...where are you from?"[/color] she just hoped she wouldn't hit a string by asking, but she was curious, and prayed she wouldn't offend him.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] STATUS // finished

Alexei grinned when he knew he had got it right. It was easy for him to know, to see that she was from the Caribbean. It was like distinguishing the difference between the smell of petrol and the smell of chocolate. It was obvious.
He grinned at her again, feeling a weird spark between them, something he had never felt before, not towards a girl anyway. It was weird, it didnt make sense, but then again, nothing did at this school.
Alexei looked at her, knowing his pupils were probably quite big..
He looked away, attempting to cover up the eyes..
And looked back...
The question struck a blow in his stomach, as he looked at her. He probably had a kind of pained/constipated expression on his face, but he didn't really care. He sighed as he began to tell his story.
''I'm actually from the UK, Southend to be exact'' He shrugged slightly. ''I was brought up at home...'' He decided on editing a few stuff out, pausing before continuing. He didn't want her to know about the abuse... it would probably upset her... ''My mum kinda died when I was 13'' He raised his eyebrows a bit. Now she probably understood about why he was eager about having her father bringing his mother to him for a bit.
''I was brought up by my dad, but because of a few... well, problems, or issues, whatever, I was moved to my aunt and uncles over here... They approved of the powers and stuff, and requested me to be sent over here, to Foxglove.. They're cool''
Alexei looked back up at her, then smiled weakly.
''So, you're dad can bring them back from the yard?'' He winked slightly, then grinned broadly at her. ''Would he be able.. you know.. to call my mother back?'' He bit his lip, his eyes slightly wider than normal..

It felt weird when she was standing while he was still sitting. Sitting comfortably near him, though still giving him his space, she felt pleasant chills go down her spine - she enjoyed this time, it was - nice. Despite having just met him, she felt like they'd been friends for awhile now. Though, as she ceased her thoughts, when Alexei's body language changed, and she had a feeling he seemed to change. A new tension was in the air. Feeling it coil around them, she hoped she hadn't hit a button on him. Javier chuckled nearby, before he nodded and vanished, going to the place where most of the ghosts hung out before they managed to find a place they wanted to stay for awhile, or someone they know or loved to follow. Which was what Javier did, he found her and her siblings to keep an eye over sometimes. "Su mama, Papí, recuerde." Javier nodded, and waved his hand, "Claro que sí, niña, no te preocupes." Javier vanished, and Alexa looked to Alexei as he spoke about his childhood.
Though when he mentioned his mother dying, she murmured softly, "I'm sorry to hear that." Though, she could relate, her father had died when she was about that age. That was weird. She brushed his arm, her eyes lowering towards the ground, as she sensed another creature nearing them, she mused, "I lost my dad when I was that age too..."
[/color] she eyed him softly, "It must have been hard to lose your mom." Alexa smiled weakly, reassuring him silently. Alexa felt a light blush color her cheeks as Alexei winked at her and then smiled broadly. She loved seeing his smile, it made her laugh lightly, and she nodded, "Of course...he's actually looking for her right now." Closing her eyes for a moment, Alexa searched for her father's thoughts, and found them, he thinks he found her. Nodding solemnly, Alexa opened her eyes, just to see two ghosts in front of them now, one, a woman, the other - her father. Glancing towards Alexei, Alexa paused, "She's kept an eye on you when you got here."Waving her hand, she nodded silently, and soon, it got somewhat cooler, though when the temperature stopped dropping, Alexa fell silent, eying Alexei, and grinned towards him, hoping he'd be good, "She'll look like she did before she died, healthy, at least."[/color] she nodded to herself, her father remained invisible to Alexei's eyes, though when Alexa noticed the sivlery glow fade from Alexei's mother, she knew he'd be able to see her. Alexa nodded lightly, "You can hear her now too, since you can see her."[/color] Falling silent now, Alexa stood, and leaned against the tree, enjoying seeing Alexei and his mother together, she could tell she was his mother, their features and such. The way they held themselves. Sighing softly, Alexa smiled to herself.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] STATUS // finished
