☪ Faith, Pain, and Rebellion ☪ (Accepting!)

[hdmwolf]

(I'm really sorry it's taken so long for me to join. I've had a lot of school work, BUT NOW IT'S THE VACATION 8D
I'll try to get more active now that I have some time on my hands. Also, if you want, you could maybe invite a few more people to join.
Roseness, you're accepted of course! :D I'll reserve a spot in the Terlamaine group right away.
Again, I'm sorry that I left for so long.)

The whole house had gotten eerily quiet after mom had left. It was kind of creepy to me, because it never was this quiet. I mean, there wasn't a single sound. Even the washing machine wasn't on. The sound of the movie was the only thing that filled the house with noise, and it felt wrong inside for me to be playing the movie. I don't know why, but it did. I also didn't like the fact that I felt like someone was watching me. I had checked around me a few times and looked out the windows, but no one was there. Nervously, I started to hum a little tune and focused on the TV, trying to get rid of the fact that I was alone in a super quiet house, with someone possibly watching me.

I was starting to feel a little bit better when there was a clatter in the kitchen. It was the sound of metal against metal, each side scraping against each other. I stifled a scream and curled up into a ball, feigning tears. This was really scary. After a few minutes of staying there in a protective form, I looked up. Everything was quiet. The movie was still playing. I was freaked out. Standing up tentatively, I walked over slowly to the kitchen. It's okay. Nothing really. It's just the dishes in the sink. Yeah. The dishes in the sink. The dishes in the sink just shifted because the silverware supporting the pots shifted. That's all. Just the dishes. I tried to reassure myself that it was nothing, but when I got over there, I wished that my mom would come home. There were no dishes in the sink. Nothing was amiss. Everything was fine. Suddenly, I noticed that the window was open. That's funny. It was closed before. Why would a window be open on an icky day like this? I wondered.

Reaching to close it, I stiffened. This was all too creepy. I hated this. I wished that my mom would come home soon. Turning around from closing the window, I walked back to the TV, only to find that the TV screen was black. A power outage? No. I would have heard the beep as all of the electrical devices failed. I hadn't turned it off either. As I stared at the screen in puzzlement, there was a huge slamming noise from downstairs. I couldn't take it anymore. Screaming, I ran into my room, shut and locked the door, and spent the next 30 minutes crying into my pillow.

I frowned and turned over to the girl. This was a weird day, but it was getting even weirder. She thought I wasn't human? What does she mean by that? Does she mean that I'm like Batman or something and I can fly? That'd be cool, but even so, Batman was human. I voiced my thoughts in a confused voice. "You thought I wasn't human?" I questioned. "How would I not be a human?"

I listened as the girl told me that she needed us to answer a few questions. I bit back my response "We don't do surveys." I can sometimes be very insultingly sarcastic, or just good at making comebacks, but I save my insults for my enemies. And besides. Right now was the time to act motherly, since there were a few new people here. Motherly? Yes. I can act motherly and extremely protective to the point that I kind of go berserk. But you just see me when I'm fighting. There's no hint of loving there. I nodded. "Sure. Seeing as everyone else is coming in, you're welcome too." I couldn't help but say how everyone else was here. It seemed like it was suddenly a point where all the Terlamaines had decided to pop up. It was actually overwhelming for me. I really wanted to go take a walk, but I knew that I needed to be here for the moment. I opened the door a little wider and stepped aside to let the girl in.

I fiddled with the ends of my sleeves nervously. I could sense it in the others there, too. We were all on edge.
I guess it's not unusual to be suspicious if you're a Terlamaine. Not surprising...
I was watching how the others acted but trying not to be creepy at the same time. I felt kinda like some freak, even among freaks, like some alien or something. I'd never been around other Terlamaines really, I didn't know much about "us" at all. Was I supposed to act a certain way? Were there any rules I had to follow? So many questions I wanted to ask but I kept behind my teeth.
Suddenly I swallowed hard and I felt a weird, prickly feeling. The tingle ran down my spine, giving me an unpleasant chill. A cold feeling in my veins, the butterflies in my stomach, feeling like there was an anvil on my chest... the familiar, dreaded feeling washed over me.
Something's wrong...
I almost never doubted my instinct. I don't know if this "6th sense" I've acquired over the years has anything to do with being a shape shifter or just plain paranoia, but it's accuracy sometimes freaked me out.
Something was wrong, very wrong. For a moment I just stood there, my face still emotionless, panic rising inside of me. What should I do? Of course, my first instinct is to run out of there- fast. But what if I had warned myself of danger outside the hotel? I remained rooted to the spot, feeling like time was ticking away, not knowing what to do...

My hands were in small fists, sitting inside the pockets of my military jackets as the rain pattered against me. I was glad the steam had reduced, but an occasional fizzle could be heard every time a droplet landed on my face. With my head down as I walked, I thought that I should have told the others I was going out. The only thing was I had not wanted to walk into the same room were all these new people were in, having to make eye contact with them. Especially the new boy. . .

Well, at least outside, in the rain, none of these humans would physically want to talk to me as they were to busy avoiding the gloomy weather. So I wasn’t going to consider myself as being in danger. As much as humans avoided me, I avoided them. From what I’ve seen, they seem to be a rather selfish race and cold blooded murderers. What a wonderful first impression I have of them.

I stepped in and then turned to the girl who I thought was the leader. "Okay" I said calmly "I have been having weird flashbacks about some war that happeneed a long time ago and the people keep yelling Terlamaine, may I ask what it is about?" I looked around and saw just a bunch of people staring. I got real nervous and then said quickly "you know what I'm sure it's nothing I think I'll go now" and I began to ease toward the door.

After a while of sobbing in my bedroom, I tried to be brave and walked to the door, peeking down the hallway. No one was there. I wondered how long it had been. An hour? An hour and a half? I wished that my mom would come home, but I knew that she was going to take a while before she came back. I wanted someone around so that I wouldn't be so scared. As I walked into the living room, the TV was on, the images brightly flashing on the screen. I backed away slowly, and suddenly ran down the stairs, keeping my eyes straight ahead of me, not looking anywhere else. Shoving on my shoes, I ran outside into the gray weather and walked to the middle of the front yard, sat down, and started to cry. People who passed by wouldn't notice if I was crying or not, which was good. It would just look like I was staring at the ground. Why was I outside? Because I felt safe there. The house was where creepy things happened, not outside. The ground was a little wet, and I felt my pants start to get slightly soaked, but I didn't move a muscle, watching as people slowly walked by.

(Could Roxy possibly pass by Kayla and see her or interact somehow? Just need something to do with Kayla :3
Also, you changed your name back to Snow! :D Now I don't have to decide what to call you.)

I listened to the girl's questions. I'm not much of a listener, more of an impulsive person. It's a miracle that I led my kind throughout this whole time, and not any of them had died from the police. They only died of natural occurrences, such as sickness. The police had never been able to get hands on any of our kind. I had taunted them for many years, but of course, they never caught me. I caught myself as I was rambling in my mind, and turned my attention back to the girl. I frowned slightly as the girl started to edge away as she notice the others. From what she told me, she was one of us. Humans never got flashbacks of the war. I knew this because none of the humans even had flashbacks of anything. The war was long forgotten for many humans, but not for Terlamaines. I had the scars to prove it. I tried to stop her by speaking up. "No, wait. I... I can help." I said, hoping that she would trust me. "The war is real." I said slowly, not really knowing how much I should tell her. Sometimes if I told some people too much information all in a rush, they get so overwhelmed that they faint. I didn't really want an unconscious girl on my hands. I hoped that me saying that the war was real was enough to get her to stay for at least five more minutes.

I stopped and looked at the girl. I sighed with relief and said "thank goodness I thought I was going crazy, tell me more."

I smiled slightly, remembering how one of my powers often makes me think that I was going mad. I hated my power of seeing into the future though, since the images, or parts of the future, would flash up randomly. It wouldn't make any sense at all, and plus, when the vision finished, I sometimes didn't remember all of it. Then it's up to me to interpret it, which never really works that well. I guessed that this girl probably had the power of time travel, or something related to that. "Well, the war happened a long time ago. It was between a group of humans and a species called the Terlamaines." I didn't always like talking about the past. It brought back bad memories, and it felt weird to be educating one of your own species about it. There were very few who knew about the war. "The Terlamaines were and are a very... specialized species. They have supernatural powers. You keep on seeing the war because..." I paused. "Because you are a Terlamaine." I said. I waited for this all to sink in. I hate it when I get information that didn't make sense, but I had to put the reason she was seeing this to the point. I would tell her after she seemed to understand, that she had a power. In the back of my mind I heard a little grumpy voice I hope she doesn't faint... Peering at her closely, I waited to see her reaction.

As this all sunk in I had another time travel. It was the war again but this time it was so much clearer. I could see my kind and reconize them. Then suddenly I was brought back to the present and everyone was looking at me. I sighed and said "okay so I'm a Terlamaine. I've heard about them and they have specaial powers, so what are mine?"

Aidan~
Aidan knew he wouldn't understand, so she told him what she was talking about.
She sorta muttered it though "I thought you were Terlamaine".
She pushed a few lose stands of hair out of her braid behind her ear.
She also covered it up by saying "It's a .....Uh game I play."
"Its not important." she said as she turned away.

I shuffled my feet anxiously, looking at the floor, frustrated.
Now of all times, my instinct was deciding to freak me out- of course, right when I'd finally worked up the nerve to meet the other Terlamaines.
Of freakin' course.
But Rusty O'Mahoney is not the type to freak out and isn't about to start now.
My head snapped up. I tried my best to look friendly, swallowing down my shyness.
"Hey, um, if you guys don't mind- I'm gonna take a look around." I murmured to nobody in particular. Yvain seemed busy with his oranges, Skylor was talking to the new girl, and the girl that opened the door for me earlier was gone.
My instincts were starting to drive me nuts. Every sense in the back of my mind was screaming bloody murder to get the heck out of there.
But, like the calm, normal person, um, Terlamaine I am, I walked across the lobby and through the hotel's hallway.
