Chloris was almost positive that she wasn't supposed to be inside the University. She was sure that she wasn't supposed to be in the computer lab. However, she was there. Not to use the computers, but to read in the corner until the sun went down. She had come with the intention of being out before sunrise, but she had gotten engrossed in her reading of vampires.
Her ferret was outside the computer lab, keeping an eye on things. Of course, the albino ferret wouldn't know what to do with himself if somebody did come. Being the sweet ferret he was, he'd probably just lay on his back and hope for somebody to rub his belly.
The girl pulled out her book on vampires. Having met once recently, she wanted to learn as much about the species as she could so that she didn't ask him anymore stupid or obnoxious questions -- she had asked if he slept in a coffin! Chloris wasn't set out to impress the vampire with her knowledge of his race. She merely wanted to garner (pun intended) enough information so that she didn't come off as an ignorant little girl.
Pages of notes from various other books lay around her. She heard Possum chitter suddenly, and run back inside, knocking the door open in the process. She closed the book, and stacked her notes neatly. Chloris tucked some red hair behind her ear. She was fully prepared to turn invisible if the need arose - or at least make herself appear older than she was to pass for a University student.
Possum decided to come out from his hiding place. The ferret slowly trotted back out into the hall. His red eyes gazed up at the new girl - although she smelled.. semi familiar. He put his paws on the girl's legs, chittering softly to be picked up.

Amber Garner had come to the computer lab to start on her reaserch for her term paper. The professor gave them the topics they would do and the due date. It wasn't due for months but she had a interesting topic and wanted to get started.
She stopped when a small animal came surrying up to her. She knelt down and petted the ferret. Hello there sweetie. Where did you come from? she gently picked him up and cuddled him close to her chest.

Chloris crept closer to the door. She turned invisible and poked her head out into the hallway. Possum, who had been rubbing against the girl for the last several moments, paused and turned towards the door. He sniffed and, smelling Chloris, jumped from the new girl to his owner.
Chloris caught Possum. Unfortunately, since she wasn't so hot at the whole invisibility thing, it looked like Possum was just hovering above the ground. The girl chuckled nervously and, sensing Amber wouldn't rip her to shreds for being on the wrong campus, allowed herself to be seen.
"This is Possum." She held the ferret a little higher in the air. "And I'm Chloris Achilleus."

Amber Garner. Nice to meet you. she said picking up her book bag she'd set down and starting into the computer lab. But um.. aren't you a bit young to be on this campus? she asked with a smile. She didn't mind. She was just making conversation.
Amber picked a computer and set he rthings down as she pulled out the rolling chair.

Garner? Garner? Amber Garner? Chloris was momentarily shell shocked. She was lucky that due to lack of sun exposure her face couldn't really grow any more pale. She followed the girl into the computer lab, Possum on her shoulder. Chloris sat down near Amber with her books in her lap.
At Amber's comment about her age, Chloris smiled to herself. Not young enough for your brother, apparently.. She mused. "Yeah. There wasn't a lot of books about the subject I'm looking into at the Academy." Chloris was digging her nails into the palm of hands. The one time someone had told her a secret and she couldn't forget it. The one time. "How are you?"
Possum was roaming around Amber, eventually jumping into the girl's lap. He rolled over on his back so that she could rub his belly.

Amber giggled at the ferret and scrated his belly fondly. I'm doing okay. This is my first week at the University. I'm getting a head start on my term papers. What topis are you researching? she asked as she switched on the computer and turned on the monitor.
She noticed teh gilr looked nervous. She rose a brow, wondering what was bothering her.

"My brother is going to start attending the university soon." Chloris hadn't seen Zajac in a few days. Last time she had heard from him he was trying to get a hold of his powers better.
Topic? She looked down at her book, her pages of notes, and then finally back at Amber. "Vampires." Chloris answered finally. "I've met some vampires, and I wanted to learn about them so that I didn't go around asking stupid questions." She scratched her arm - something she generally did when she was lying. Although, she was only lying about the "vampires" part. She's only met one. Vampire. Singular.
"What's your term paper about?" She inquired. "And what gifts do you have?"

Vampires? is not very wise to be hanging with vampires, she thought to herself. Um... assisted suicide. It's a very controversial topic. she said as she typed something into teh internet search bar and sat back while the page loaded.
I uh.. have Force Field and Kinetic Manipulation. what about you? other than being invisible. she laughed.

Assisted suicide? What was that about? Maybe some people needed to go to a Boy Scout to make a noose. The Garners got into bizarre things. First evil botanists and now this. Chloris nodded when the girl stated it was a controversial subject. She didn't know much about the assisted kind, but she knew she didn't like to talk about suicide very much.
"Phasing and shape shifting." Chloris played with soles of her shoe, eying her ferret. He was squirming in Amber's lap, loving the attention he was receiving.
She bit her lip, wondering if she could secretly persuade Amber that vampires were people as well. Albeit dead, sort of creepy, kind of homicidal... people. But she more than likely encountered the creepy kind here. "What do you think about vampires?"

Amber glanced at the girl and chewed her lip as she thought. I think that they're not exactly the kind of "people" one should be consorting with. They kill innocent people just to satisfy their own needs. They're evil. PLain and simple. she said as she turned teh roller chair to face Chloris.

Bah! And here Chloris had been hoping against all hopes that Amber would be the laid back easy going vampire loving person she had imagined. Her frustration was taken out on her pencil, which promptly snapped in half. She put the broken pieces in her pocket, and pondered about her next argument.
"Well, what about the vampires that only drink blood from volunteers?" Her hand lightly touched her stomach. "Or they drink from animals, or from blood in the hospital?" She inquired. "It's not very logical to group a whole species in one category, you know? It's like saying.." Chloris paused, her eyebrows raising as she looked for an appropriate analogy.
"It's like saying that all..." Muslims wanted to bomb people? Depressed people would go crazy if teased? All teenagers text while drive? All homosexuals speak with a lisp? "...forget the analogy because I can't think of one." Chloris muttered, feeling defeated. "But...what if you were turned into a vampire? How would... how would you want your..." she caught herself from saying 'brother' "family to feel?"

Amber's hand instantly went to the silver heart locket she always wore. An image of her mother flashed across her mind. I... I would want them to kill me before i had a chance to harm them. she said in a heartfelt voice. There may be some vampires that try to not kill people. BUt in the end... when their life is on the line, they'll kill to feed rather than die of hunger. she looked to Chloris, her voice serious. And It would do you good to remember that.

Chloris hugged her knees to her chest. "What if someone you loved were turned into a vampire?" She was venturing on a touchy subject, but if the girl genuinely hated vampires... well, what chance did Kolton have? Chloris looked at the necklace. That was the reason he couldn't be around his sister anymore. She knew it had been their mother's. What had happened to their family? If he had told her, she had forgotten. It wasn't a surprise, since she forgot most of what she's heard or read in about an hour.

((it's okay. after this post i have to go. I have a temple meeting to go to and i have to leave in like two hours. still need to eat and get a shower... well maybe this post and one more lol))
Amber eyed the girl curiously. WHat are you getting at? No one I know is stupid enough to get turned into a vampire. They know the things that are out there. She handed teh ferret back to it's owner and reached into her book bag to pul out a text book she'd gotten form teh library.

Chloris felt her throat dry. She swallowed, and took Possum back. "I'm not getting at anything. I was just curious." She shrugged, trying to appear innocent while scratching her arm. "I suppose you know very smart people."
She let the ferret scuttle all over her, and it finally rested over her shoulder. Watching her take out a textbook, she raised her eyebrow curiously. Was there really a textbook covering assisted suicide? "What's that?"
