Bellatrix wrote:-----Me? You want to hear one of my stories? Well, I guess I could tell you about the time I met my closest and dearest friend, Constance.
-----It was a dark night, with nothing but the light of the moon and stars to illuminate my path. I was exploring a forest, searching for a break in the thick woods at which I could gaze at the stars. I had just passed a small creek when I heard a noise in the woods; leaves rustling to be exact. I followed the noise, letting my curiosity get the better of me. The sound led me to a clearing in the middle of the woods, lined with spruces and firs that towered over me. In the middle of the clearing, I spotted a kiamara, her fur glowing blue and purple in the pale moonlight. Two small feathers dangled off of her tail, and I noticed a small, roughly shaped gem tied to her front paw that glowed like the stars. In her paws, she was holding a small telescope, which appeared to be made of brass or copper. She was muttering to herself, words that I could not hear unless I was to move closer to her. My dark gray fur and black cloak concealed me from her view as I crept around the edges of the clearing, trying to get a better look at her face. As I inched nearer, I noticed a sparkly, creme colored piece of cloth that was wrapped around her head. A few orange flowers that resembled roses were tucked behind her right ear, which sported an earring with a moon-shaped charm on it. As I continued my assessment of her, I accidentally stepped on a small twig, which cracked loudly under my paw. She dropped the spyglass from her eye and hastily slipped it back into two leather straps that were hugging her back leg.
-----"H-hello? Is anyone there?" She yelled out, her voice quivering in fear.
-----Should I talk to her...? I wondered to myself, trying my best to shrink back into the shadows. Unfortunately for me, another twig found its way under my foot, and cracked even louder that the first one.
-----"I know you're out there! If you don't c-come out, I might have to use my kung-fu moves on you!" She yelled.
-----"Wait, seriously?" I whispered. She turned dramatically to where I was standing, staring right at me.
-----"I heard that!" She yelled, searching the shadows. "Come on out! I don't want to do this the hard way!" She sneered. I shivered in fear, frantically trying to decide whether to run or stay. My curiosity, however, overwhelmed my sense of danger, and I stepped out of the shadows. She looked at me in anger as I crept towards her. She ran up to me, grabbing my arm. I squeaked in fear as she pushed my hood off of my head, revealing my face. She looked at me with interest, and then burst out laughing.
-----"W-what's so funny!" I asked, somewhat embarrassed.
-----"Oh man, I got you good!" She howled, clutching her sides with laughter. She extended her paw out towards me. "Hi, I'm Constance!" She smiled warmly. I looked at her skeptically, shakily extending one of my paws towards her.
-----"Hi, I'm Bellatrix," I said. She shook my paw vigorously, still giggling to herself.
-----"Nice to meet 'cha! I don't actually know kung-fu, by the way," she snickered.
-----"Wha-? You mean-"
-----"I wasn't going to beat you up," she laughed as she walked away from me, returning to her previous spot. She pulled out the telescope and resumed her viewing of the stars. I walked over to her and sat down beside her, shifting my gaze up to the sparkling sky.
-----"Oh look, it's Ursa Major!" I declared excitedly, pointing to a constellation.
-----"You like the stars?" She looked at me with surprise. "You know, I have all of these amazing astronomy books that I bought at a vintage book store, and I also found this old film on the Hubble satellite, and also I painted the ceiling of my room with conste-" she stopped herself mid-sentence. "O-oh, sorry, I tend to ramble..." she muttered.
-----"It's alright," I smiled, still admiring the sky. "I like people who speak their mind." She blushed a bit, fumbling with her telescope.
-----"T-thank you," she mumbled.
-----"I'd love to see some of those book you have!" I declared.
-----"I'd love for you to see them!" She grinned. "Ooh, do you like tea?"
-----"Y-ya," I stuttered, a bit surprised by her sudden question.
-----"Oh my goodness, I have to show you this amazing tea-pot I got for Christmas! I also got a bunch of weird foreign teas to try, and my friend Cocoa hasn't been able to come over yet, so I haven't tried any! I also have a ton of strange mugs I love to collect, like ones with heart-shaped handles and some that are shaped like owls or cats or-" She stopped herself. -----"Hehehe, sorry," she smiled in embarrassment, rubbing her neck nervously.
-----"It's fine," I laughed. We both returned our gazes to the stars, which twinkled and sparkled against the black sky. "Hey, Constance?"
-----"Hmm?" She asked, peering intently into her spy-glass.
-----"Would it be alright to say... that you are my first friend?" I asked nervously, playing with my paw-pads.
-----"Of course!" She beamed, wrapping me in a warm hug. "Those of us with just a few feathers, have to stick together, right?" She motioned single feather dangling from my tail. "Your feather is so pretty, though," she pouted. "I wish mine were nice like yours." I stared at her in shock.
-----"D-do you really think so?" I whispered.
-----"Of course! What's not to like about it?"
-----"Nothing, I guess..." I blushed. We spent the rest of the night staring at the sky, pointing out constellations in the sky, and munching on pieces of bread and cheese that Constance had packed. To this day, Constance is still my closest, and only, friend. We have spent many nights sipping tea, munching on chocolate-covered strawberries, and looking at the stars. I would never trade my memories with her for anything in the world, because she is my precious and sincere friend.

Lyrics here

I used to be .greentea, do not steal I may go back.
►Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,your kingdom come,your will be done, on earth as in heaven.Give us today our daily bread.Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.[For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever.] Amen







Username: .Flyer.
Name: Ethereal
Name Meaning:
Ethereal
e·the·re·al
Definition: extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.
Age: Ethereal is about 23 years old, born on April 24, 1990, the date the Hubble Space Telescope was launched. Her astrology sign is Taurus.As I walk through the masses of people, many stop and stare at me. I hardly notice anymore, I feel as if I am become numb to their stares.

I continue through my errands, feeling empty, like I always do. The stares continue, and I feel a small flash of what I suppose to be anger. Don't these people know any better? Though sometimes it is my fault... They taught me how deadly beauty could be.

Ethereal doesn't remember anything before the facility. She was trained to be a "peacekeeper" the person who cuts people down with words, not knives. She used her strange beauty to its advantage there, to learn from the captured ones. She could never see her own beauty though, couldn't quite understand what made her so different. You see, Ethereal has tritanopia, a type of color blindness.
How normal people view colors.How people with tritanopia view colors.
She was used to this, it had been her whole life and she didn't know any better. Tritanopia, the interrogations, it was all normal for her. And then Ker found her. Sneaking into the facility disguised as one of the workers, she told Ethereal her story and who see was. Ker had been raised here too, but in a way that was ying to Ethereal's yang. Instead of using the power of beauty as a weapon, Ker used weapons, guns, knives and fists. She told Ethereal that she had escaped, that you could make a life for yourself outside the walls. You didn't have to live like this. Ethereal had simply been growing tired of the interrogations, tired of how she felt she was being used. When Ker spoke of a way to get her out, she jumped at it. The two escaped during the night, and Ethereal was finally free. She didn't stay with Ker long though. Ethereal found that Ker was full of anger with what had happened to her in the facility, while Ethereal was simply tired and wanted nothing more then peace. The two parted, wishing each other good luck in the world. Ethereal tried to find herself a way to fit in. Unlike Ker, she couldn't just take up jobs as a mercenary, so instead, she tried art. Art was her way of expressing herself, and in every stroke of the pencil or charcoal on paper, the bow on the violin, somewhere inside of her, she seemed to be trying to scream to her former superiors; Look! I am not soulless!
Yet time passed by, and Ethereal simply felt empty. Anyone she tried to become friends with just used her, used her because of the beauty she contained. She only felt "full" or normal when she drew or played her instruments. She never could seem to have any friends, though perhaps Ker could be counted as one, though Ker could never stay long and after she left, Ethereal was alone again. She always seemed to be alone, with just her art and music for company.
Ethereal:
They tell me not to move, yet the dye runs cold down my fur and I want to shake it off. These people are artists, I suppose, but all I know right now is that they are covering up the wonderful blackness and darkness of my star-studded fur. I used to be so proud of it, it looked like the night sky. But now, from what I can tell, only small parts show, the rest covered by the blobs of color they have used. I don't see the beauty in this blob, but the supervisor comes, and I can see satisfaction in his eyes. He observes their "art," nodding all the while. They are happy, but I feel no happiness. I feel no sorrow either. I only look at this new me and wonder where the other Ethereal went. I cannot find her here.✬✬✬
The man is scared. I can see that from the moment I walk into the room. He has cuts and bruises and his eyes dart around like he is searching for something and needs to find it desperately. He is suspicious, fearful and curious when I walk into the room.
"Another child devil?" Every word is filled with fear and hate for the air to take in.
"I just want to talk." My voice is child-like and innocent. I am young and young people are never suspected by society. But his words ignite curiosity in me, and I file away this learned information. Project-379 is a child like me. Project-379 was the one who caught this man, I was told this much. But whoever the "Lady Killer" is, she is a child as well. "Lady Killer" was the name I heard the men laugh about, but underneath the laugh was fear, yet triumph as well. A curious combination of emotions I will explore later, when I have the time. I have job to do now.
"Talk?" Hate is replaced with curiosity now, but the fear is still there. It never leaves their voices as they speak to me.
"Yes. Talk." It is always the same thing. But they tell me to do it. I have to do what they say.✬✬✬
"Fire!" I hear the cry, and the men come to get me out. We are running and I hear the crackle and laugh of the fire. "She's loose!" "Can't anyone kill her?!?" "She's going to kill him! Get the door open!"
Project-379 has snapped it seems. They say the she set the fire, trapped the supervisor and is going to kill him. She's killed others too, and that is why they have to get me out. So we run. My feet pound and the fire burns and we run so we do not die. I wonder what it would be like to die. I wonder if Project-379 knows that she might die. Does she want to die? Do I want to die? Are we alike? These thoughts and questions swirl through my head even as the shouts continue, the screams, the fire's roar, and the deadly silence of not knowing what is going to happen.
They herd me into the cover behind the facility. They tell me to hide, though not why and who we are hiding from. The heat from the fire hurts my back and I hear sirens. I turn to look at them, and I hear movement, and I feel a needle at my neck and then all goes dark and I can only wonder why I could not look at the sirens.✬✬✬
Ker:There was another. This knowledge alone makes me want to crumple the paper I hold in my hand, payment for a job. What was this one raised like? My source tells me that she was not angry like me because they used her for a differant purpose. She was not raised to kill, but to extract the knowledge from the people I hauled in. Still, if she was raised in that place... I shouldn't go back to that place or the remnants of it. It would be dangerous, and if I was to be caught, I would be killed or recaptured. But I have to help her. I remember that place. It is the only thing I have nightmares about.✬✬✬
Ethereal:
There is something different tonight. The guards change, and all seems quiet, yet there is something out of place. There is tension in the air. I hear a small whining noise, and, looking over at the camera, one of the lights goes off. The camera is off now. I hear another pair of footsteps, a voice telling one of the guards that there was a mistake in the lineup and its their turn now. I hear disagreement, the a cracking and slamming sound and the voice stops talking. I hear keys in the lock, and the door swings open, a guard standing there. Behind him are two guards that do not seem to be awake at the moment. Then, after taking a closer look at this guard, I can tell that my earlier assumptions where wrong. For one, this guard doesn't seem to be a guard at all, an oversized uniform that hangs a little loosely on their frame shows that either they lost their commissioned suit, or they stole it, both not something guards hired here would do. Also, "he" is a she, showed in the shoulder length hair (each guard here gets a crew cut or shaves their head) and the curves of the body, previously disguised by the loose outfit.
"Are you Ethereal?" She asks, hesitantly. There is some fear in her statement, though that is overshadowed by curiosity. She has been looking for me, it seems.
"That would be me." I answer simply and without emotion. Then, I allow emotion to fog up my words, carefully balancing curiosity with pretended cautiousness. "You are...?" And then I notice her feathers. A light, sky blue, just like the supervisors, but they are stained... With blood. This discovery does not anger me, but I am able to put together pieces quickly. "You are Project-379. Why are you here?"
She winces at the word "project" though is able to hide it much better then your average person might. "I no longer call myself that. I am Ker now. As for why I am here, I could ask you the same thing."
"I am here because they told me to be."
"You don't have to follow what they say." She is very, very cautious now. Ker possibly thinks that I will turn her in. I could. But I don't want to at the moment. She continues with a disguised urgency, though it is covered by the tone in which a person might use for a slow child. "I built a life for myself outside this... Place. You could too. I can get you out of here."
"Out..." I roll this word around in my head. Out, away from this place? Away from the guards, the orders, the prisoners? What is outside there for me? "I'll... Go."
In that instant, everything changed for me.
