[Amber] Garnered.

[Chloris Achilleus]

"You just told me you wouldn't believe me." Chloris responded evenly. "His anathema is that necklace of yours." She placed her hands on her hips. "I've told you. It's up to you whether or not to separate yourself from your brother when he needs you."

Great. Kolton was going to be soo happy that he told his loving little sister. Chloris stared up at the girl disdainfully. "He didn't want to tell you because he knew you wouldn't accept him. I was really hoping that you'd be different from everyone else he's encountered. Guess not."

All right, so Chloris' guilt trip hadn't worked on Kolton. But maybe Amber would repent her ways. See the light. Forget her vampire-loathing days! Chloris was an optimistic idealistic. Which mean her feet were not always on the ground, and her head was always in the clouds.

((repent child! lol sry had to say it!))



Amber's hand flew to the necklace she wore. It had been her mother's, teh only thing she had left of her parents besides the bear her fatehr had given her the day before they died. Amber tried to find something to say, some wat to refute what this girl was telling her. KOlton wasn't a vampire. he couldn't be. But then again... in the last three years the only time she'd ever seen him was at night. And even those visits were very short and were fewer and fewer.

((haha! Chloris is stuck in this building till the sun goes down. and guess who's gonna show tonight! ^_^))

[Chloris Achilleus]

Chloris sighed, sliding down against the wall. "I shouldn't have told you. He told me not to tell you." Chloris put her forehead on her knees, muttering about how she was a rubbish friend. Her arm reached out to scratch Possum, and instead found the ground.

"Listen, just... whenever he comes to visit you, just put your necklace away. He'll stay longer."

[ooc; poor Chloris. Sorry it's short.]

[amber]

((it's okay i don't mind one liners every now and then ^_^))


Amber chewed her lip as she watched the girl. This isn't happening. Kolton's not dead. she whispered as she crossed teh room to gather up her things. Her thoughts were jumbled and her head a bit hazy. She suddenly felt weak after using her powers. That was odd she never felt weak anymore.

((oh hey. there's a new plot going that involves gifted people only. there was a virus or something in the water and some were infected. it affects their powers and such. there's a good possiblity thta chloris could get infected if she hangs around amber too much. it's spread basically like teh common cold. ;et me know if you want to participate. i'll let the admin know so she can send u the sympotms chloris would have))

[Chloris Achilleus]

[I'll make a mental note to make her stay far far away and to wash her hands and take her vitamins. ]

"You're right. He's undead. You know, dead but not." Chloris shrugged, probably not making things better. But she wasn't really caring at the moment seeing as how Amber had been treating her earlier. She watched her, wondering if she was just going to leave Chloris here.

Much as she was disliking this girl's company, she did not feel like being completely alone. "Are you leaving?" Maybe she could go explore the university better. Or make a mad dash for the Academy.

[amber]

Amber had everything back in her bag and she scooped it up as she turned. Um.. yes.. i uh... i have things to do. she lied. what she needed was a wake up call. she ahd to be having another nightmare! She rushed out the door and didn;t look back.

((Okay. DON"t end this thread. we're going to skip ahead to just after dark. when Chloris is about to leave for her own dorm. you start there saying she'd spent the day exploring wor whatever. and i'll bring kolton in ^_^))

[Chloris Achilleus]

[Okay. ><]

Chloris watched as the girl ran out, and huffed a little indignantly. "Teenagers. Don't even say goodbye anymore." She muttered, laying out her coat and curling up on it. During that nap, she had several nightmares. One consisted of Amber stabbing Kolton repeatedly in the heart with a garlic bread stick, and the other was composed of Kolton pushing Chloris out into the sunlight.

She had awoken, then, with her hair tangled and her skin paler than normal. She put her coat back on, gathered her things, and walked out of the university. She changed her hair, not bothering to just take out a brush and fix it. What was the point? The teenager, with her albino ferret on her shoulder, stood out plainly against the dark background.

Chloris was intensely worried about what had just happened. Normally she would tell one of her siblings, but that would involve admitting she had been out of school grounds, by herself, with a strange older man that was dead. It would also mean admitting she had skipped her classes to go to the university. Neither of those were very good. So instead she had resolved to speak to Possum about it. Or do a Jedi mind trick on Amber to make her forget. If she was a Jedi. With the capabilities of doing mind tricks.

[amber]

As soon as the sun had sunk low enough below the horizon Kolton had left his apartment and headed for the university. He hadn't been able to get Chloris out of his mind. And he knew she was right about him needed to tell his sister the truth. He paused on teh school grounds and took a strong breath to find Amber's scent. But instead he smell chloris, that unique iron and cinnomon smell that filled his head with a strange need to be close to her. He cocked his head and followed his nose. He found her outside the main buidling of teh university.
KOlton walked up to her, his hands in his pockets. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the academy? he asked with that sexy crooked smile of his.

[Chloris Achilleus]

Chloris screamed two times. One because he had scared the hell out of her. The other time because it was the person in the world she had no intention of seeing at the moment. The ferret scurried over to Kolton, rubbing up against him. She gave Possum a sour look. Traitor.

"Academy. Yeah. I got stuck at the University. Sunlight. And all." Chloris rubbed the back of her neck, aware that her sentences weren't very coherent. She backed away from him, rambling on about researching vampires.

She stared at Kolton, feeling her soul being eaten by her guilt. Normally, faced with these kinds of decisions, Chloris would do one of two things. She would either run very quickly in the opposite direction, or she would start crying. Seeing how vampires were quicker than humans, she chose to do the second one. She wiped her eyes, sniffing. "I'm sorry."

[amber]

Setting teh ferret on his shoulder Kolton stepped closer to Chloris and pulle dher into his arms at teh sight of her tears. Hey hey hey. what's all this about? What's gotten my beautiful Chloris so upset? he asked in a soft comfortig tone as he let his hand run along her spine lightly.

[Chloris Achilleus]

Chloris shuffled out of his grip. "I'm not yours, and I'm not beautiful." She corrected, rubbing the tears out of her eyes. She crossed her arms, trying to maintain herself. Chloris cleared her throat, staring up at the man. "I did a very bad thing just now."

She rubbed her arms, silently willing Possum to bite Kolt's ear off if he suddenly lunged at her. Then she could turn invisible and run like hell in the opposite direction. "Well. Amber asked me if you were a vampire. And I said yes."

The girl took a large step backwards, flinching. "She, uh, took it pretty well. You know. Finding out her brother was dead. And undead. Dead. Alive. Eh. A vampire." She swallowed the lump in her throat. "If you're going to kill me, will you at least give me a head start to start running?"

[kolton]

Kolton shook his head trying to clear the jumble mess of thoughts running through his mind. Hold on. When were you talking to Amber? And why did i com eup in the convo? Chloris you had no right to tell her about me! he ran his hands frustratedly through his ragged hair. He took a step closer to her and reached out for her shoulder.

[Chloris Achilleus]

When? Chloris checked her imaginary watch, and sent a frustrated stare up at Kolton. "About five hours ago. I was stuck in the school. And I don't remember how you came up in the conversation! You just did, and I was talking about vampires, and then she... puzzled it out. Is she a telepath or something?"

Or maybe Chloris was just incredibly see-through. The girl had never been too good with hiding things. She raised up her hands, cringing. "I didn't mean to! I tried to walk away from her but she like teleported in front of me and wouldn't let me through!"

[kolton]

He grabbed her gently by the arm. Amber can move faster than a hundred year old vampire. it's one of her powers. And she's very smart. Chloris you have to tell me... what hapeened. What did she say, what did she do? he tried to keep his voice even and calm as he stepped closer to her, holding bother her upper arms with teh ferret on his shoulder.

[Chloris Achilleus]

Chloris desperately wished she could phase through him, then phase through the ground, just keep phasing until she was far far away from this school. However, at his analogy she quirked an eyebrow. A one hundred year old vampire? Vampires were fast, but old people weren't. Maybe vampires became faster as they aged.

She shook her head, trying to remember. "I don't remember. She was just.. surprised. I think. And then she left.." Choris stared at the ferret, wishing that Possum would bite Kolton or something so she could escape. However, she and the ferret did not have a telepathic link. Unfortunately.
