[[Oh stop complaining xD ]]

Marco strolled nonchalantly into the the garden. He had reserved the green room, a special little gla-ss walled room in the garden, for his club. When he shut the door of the green room behind him, Marco tapped a little green shrub that stood by the door. The green shrub instantly grew, filling the gla-ss walls with its green leaves and coating the interior of the green room with its bushy leaves. Marco grinned, then plopped down onto a couch in the middle of the green room.

Ari burst through the greenhouse door after Marco. "Marco!" She sang. "I brought a huge lunch for the entire club to share!" She said, bringing out a large plastic bag from behind her back and rustling it.

Arana lead the new boy, Noah, into the main room of Club Oathbreak. "You've been here before, but this is our club's main room." She told him in her wispy voice. Noah looked at the older girl with large and round eyes, nodding and pushing the door open. "You've been accepted into Club Oathbreak. Welcome, Noah Grayson." Arana said in a hollow voice, patting him on the back. Noah gazed around uncertainly. The room didn't seem as friendly as it had been when Mr. Parkinsen had taught in it. 

Sighing with irritation at Ari's irrepressible personality, Keris leaned her head on one hand, propping it up with one elbow. "I already ate," she said in her typical clear, dull and toneless voice, lifting an eyebrow as if asking Ari to challenge this statement. "And I wasn't hungry before. I'll pa.ss on your lunch."

Closing her eyes she lifted her free hand and twirled it around boredly, blinking and watching a small dark gray cloud form around it. Crackling and sparking it whirled about at a high speed, a few small lightning bolts shining as they sparked out of the dark mist. "What are we doing at this meeting anyways. Or lunch, either one," she muttered in a detached voice, gazing at the small thunderhead she created.

Lifting her eyes at Marco she watched him for a few minutes before switching her gaze around to look at the rest of the greenhouse. "Any trainees?" she muttered with a sigh.

 Noah jumped slightly when he saw a black panther, his eyes widening in amazement when he saw the panther morph back into a human. Arana nearly lost her cold demeanor. "Jeremiah, you don't have to show-off." She sighed, leaning against the wall. "As you know, Noah, I am the Queen. He, " She gestured in Jeremiah's direction, "Is the king." Noah nodded, still taking in the magnitude of the situation.

"Uhh... err, yeah! I'm a necromancer." Noah said finally, scratching his head. "I just discovered my powers, so... yeah." He mumbled, sighing. Arana patted his back. "Your powers are very strong, Noah. You show promise." Noah smiled faintly at the praise, not sure whether it was a praise in the first place.

Marco shrugged. "Don't be so harsh, Keri." He said nonchalantly, leaning against his chair. Ari didn't seem fazed by Keri's pessimism. "And nope, no trainees." Marco shook his head while Ari plopped down onto another armchair. "We should be out looking for some, though." He sighed. "Club Oathbreak is growing each day."  

"Don't call me that," Keris snapped, though it was obvious her heart wasn't in it. "I don't like being called petnames..." she trailed off, a slight blush infusing her cheeks a pale pink. "You already know that Marco." Sighing heavily she snapped her fingers and the cloud disappeared, leaving only the burnt smell of lightning lingering in the room.

"No trainees?" she asked, giving Ari a sour look as if it was her fault. "Where are they all? I'm pretty sure this school has a larger supply of special people, and we're just not looking hard enough. Pheonix should do a better job. And I haven't even seen her today yet!" Straightening, Karis glared at Marco. "Where has she been? She never seems to around these days."

Ari gave Keris an offended look. "It's not my fault!" She protested. "Members have been harder to find ever since that awful Club Oathbreak formed! They take away the trainees, and also scare off some potential members! And members are rare to come by in the first place." She sighed and slumped down in her chair. 

---

Marco shrugged. "How am I supposed to know?" He asked, but grinned to keep the sting away from his comment. "And don't call them special people." He mumbled, wondering if he should've used his powers to calm down the girl.

---

"Errr... Noah." He mumbled, almost looking like he shrank in the presence of the juniors. They were just so much bigger. "Nice to meet you guys...?" He trailed off, feeling uncomfortable.

---

Arana rolled her eyes. "Toughen up, kid." She said, giving him a soft punch on the back. Club Oathbreak certainly had no space for the merciful, and Noah showed promise of being someone powerful.  

"...Necromancy?"

Maria had been in the cl*censored*room for a while now, perched on one of the corner desks. The black dress she wore made it difficult to see her if you weren't looking, despite the fact that there was white fabric, and her pale blonde hair spilled over her shoulders. In her lap sat a china doll, clothed in dark red, brunette curls confined to a black hat. Maria's hands held the doll gently as she slid to her feet and walked closer to get a better look at the newcomer. She gazed at him with her fathomless blue eyes, eyes that many a person had looked into, only to find themselves taken over by them... She nodded. "Welcome."

Lucian had not been having a good day.

Or rather, to be more accurate, the past three days had been the worst days of his life, hands down. And today was turning out to be even worse.

It wasn't just that schoolwork was even more difficult this year than last, it wasn't just that his recent transfer left him knowing virtually no one on campus, and it wasn't even the fact that his parents had run out on him a few years bak -- though admittedly, none of that was pleasant. No. The thing making his life miserable was --

A lightbulb shattered. Lucian jumped, backed away, and resumed his pacing, nervously running his hands through his increasingly strange hair. Once jet black, it was now liberally streaked with white in a beautiful, yet strange, way, a change that had almost gradually occured over two days. Today the skin under his left eye itched and burned. His fingers shook.

Electricity sparked to life around him, charring the gr*censored* beneath him as he paced back and forth.

"No, no, no," he whispered, staring at the ground. "Stop it, come on, what's going on?"

It was safe to say that Lucian was a nervous, emotional, stressed ball of teenage boy right now. The skin under his eye flared with pain, his head responded in the same matter, and the poor teenager fell to the ground, clutching at his head. "Ow..." he muttered as the pain faded.
