Rel glanced at his watch as he pushed Dusk along throguh the crowd. "Its 9. Can't you move just a bit faster." Rel glared at her as she slapped his wrist away. "You know that mom said you had to stay with me."

"She isn't my mom and you aren't my brother." Dusk retored. She sighed and absentmindedly wondered what this school was for anyway. Wierd stuff had been happening, stuff that she couldn't explain One morning she had felt like she wanted to fly and the next she was told that he body was as cold as ice, yet she hadn't felt a thing. Rel had told her it was normal, but somehow, she couldn't say that it had ever been something she had expierienced. She glared at her brother through sightless purple eyes. "You are thirteen too, so why do you act as if you are older." Dusk asked. 

Rel looked up at her, but just slightly. "You're blind." He sighed, knowing this would tick her off. He winced as he felt another sting on his wrist. "will you stop that, your hands and feet are registered weapons, I could call the police." He glared at her even though she couldn't see it. 

"But you won't because you want me at this school. It was you who was jumping around this morning like a kid." She stuck her pink tongue out at him.

Wha- how do you know?" His eyebrows furrowed as he waited for an answer, but he got none. Dusk just smiled evily. It was Rel's turn to hit her and she cried out in pain, making some people's heads turn. Dusk smiled even wider and she slapped him. There was a sharp sound from Rel, but no heads turned. He said nothing for the rest of the walk to Southwood Academy...

Being an only child is tough." Feyth murmered to herself as she rounded the corner that lead to the area of a forest where the Southwood Academy was. She sighed and looked down at her watch. Her pace quickened and she knew she was going to be late for the opening ceremony where they introduced teachers and stuff, or so she had heard from her mom. One time semi-finalist in the Tyeih competition; Ginger Forest. 

Feyth started to run, 5 minutes till the ceremony started. She wouldn't make it, she kenw that, but it was still nice to try and be on time. Her long blond hair flowed out behind her as hre run started to turn into a race against time. She slid into  the enterence of the school and whiped sweat off her brow. It was time...

((I fgot carried away. Sorry...))

[[ There are wierd noises coming from outside mah front door. So I hissed at them. ]]

Ariskye stood near the gate of the Southwood Academy. Her back was leaning against the metallic poles and her arms were folded across her chest as she watched people trickle through the gate. With her eyes glued to the other side of the gate, it was impossible to tell if she was paying attention to her surroundings. But she was. She was watching everybody; it was a nifty trick she picked up from her spirit guide over the summer and she used it ever chance she got.

Watching the new and old shifters come in, she let her gaze follow them for a half a second before glancing at somebody else. Spotting a girl -- Feyth -- run through the gates, she called after her; "You have time! There are still people coming on plane to get here! And its going to take a while!" Ariskye had pushed herself off the poles to do so. Sighing once, she leaned back and continued to watch.

Cain Silverbane wandered through the crowded airport with a suitcase trailing after him and his parents in front of him. He had only learned that he was a shape-shifter last night when his parents had told him when he was going to bed. He narrowed his blue eyes and glared at their backs. Some parents his were for dropping a major bomb on his head the night before he was leaving for Southwood Academy. 

From what he gleened, his mother could shift into a serpentine dragon and his father could shift into a golden eagle. Which meant he could turn into one or the other and its the same for his spirit guide that they rushed to inform him on the drive to the airport. With a sigh, he stopped at his landing zone and gave his parents a hug good-bye before boarding the plane.

Once on, he had help putting his light suitcase in a rack above the seats from a nice, older gentleman before sitting in a cream, leathery seat behind Charlie. His blue eyes looked out the small recangular window as he leaned back in his chair.

Feyth raced across the threshhold of the school and stood panting in front of the outdoor auditorium where they did the ceremonies. She sighed, she had made it with one minute to spare. A girl and a bouy slithered into the school and heaved a sigh. Feyth felt happy that they had made it, but now was time to listen, not to talk. She held back a hello.

-------------------------------------------------------

Rel glared evily at Dusk before sitting down on the floor. Dusk scrambled up a tree on instinct and sat in it. She felt around, it was safe up here, no one to tell he that she was blind and couldn't do something. No one to let her know that she wasn't alowed. She felt free, more free than the sky which was stuck on earth, no she was free. The only way she could be more free was if she could fly and what were the chances of that?...

[ Feyth, did you read what Airksye called after... well... Feyth? ]]

[[ We just started, Amh. ]]
