Dance Me To The End Of Love [Open]

[Keiran Hobbs]

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn

Keiran really didn't know what to do. His sister went to high school like usual this morning. It was like any other day. He had been so tired when he went to school that he hadn't noticed if there was anything different about her. He wasn't coming up with any reason why his sister would just seem to disappear.

The middle schooler had spent a good hour sitting outside the school before retreating to the homeless shelter. He then spent another hour just waiting outside the building for his sister. What was most disturbing was that his sister never appeared. She always went to the middle school to pick him up and walk with him back to the shelter, or to wherever she decided they were going to spend the night.

If she didn't do that, she usually just met him at the shelter. But when she didn't show... the small boy was concerned. He didn't even know where to begin looking for his sister, and that's what scared him most. Kei just gripped his backpack and began to walk. He wasn't even sure where to go. Where his sister would go.

He stumbled through the playground, wondering if his sister was here, but she wasn't. He was frustrated. He then just went off into the woods. He didn't even know why he felt drawn to go in them. Part of him was deathly afraid of the woods. It felt like every hair on the back of his neck stood on end with every step.

"Lily?" He kept called out every few feet. "Lily, this isn't funny." He wasn't even sure if his sister was here, if she could even hear him. But he was hoping she was. He hoped she was alright, because she had all he had left. He just couldn't give up and not attempt to try and find his sister.

Keiran tripped as he walked, falling flat on his face. He whimpered and tried to get back up but his ankle just screamed in pain.

[Jennifer Blake]

Somehow, she managed to survive moving everything into her classroom, well, almost everything. There were still a few loose ends that she needed to tie up but honestly, Jennifer Blake thought that could wait. Not everything had to be about this new life, sometimes, she could allow herself to visit the old. And after dragging box after box from her car through the school and then to the classroom before walking back outside to repeat the same action, well, you would go a little crazy as well. Other than that, the young woman was willing to bet that everything was set, well, as far as teaching her students go. She still had to go meet facility and continue to blend it, but well, she just didn't feel like it at the very moment. So Jen left the school and drove to the woods, a place that she knew very well.

As her car pulled into the usual places for parking, she couldn't help but to remain still, cerulean eyes glancing out into the woods and the trees. Even with there still being sunlight, it cast foreboding shadows across the ground like monsters. Jen continued to stare, that hesitance lingering in her actions as the memories flooded her mind for a moment. This is where she almost died. Taking a deep breath though and then exhaling, the young woman got over that fear for she was still alive and alive with a purpose. Opening up her car door now, she stepped out gingerly, one step following the other as the door slammed behind her. Her gaze took to the trees now, with their autumn colors. If she stared at it in just the right way, the sunlight made the woods look like they were on fire. Jen could only wish that were the case.

Though it would be wrong of her to wish such a thing, after all, the nemton was here and this was it's home. After it saved her life, she could not end it's home even though with it, brought so many ugly memories to her mind. But Jen reminded herself that they would only fuel the rage that was just waiting to be unleashed inside of her. She slowly started to skirt along what little path that could be held, her pumps hardly the thing for the occasion but she could not bring herself to bare feet. A druid she may have once be, but even Jen found herself a little wary of nature now. The breeze picked up a little bit, pushing her along playfully and tangling her hair. For once, it brought a small smile to her lips, reminding her of her sweet naive youth rather than the trials that came only but a year or two ago. Lost in thought, the young woman had wandered quite a bit before she heard a sound, a scuffle almost amongst the dead leaves.

Jen paused in her motion, standing still as a doe on edge as she glanced around. She had the power to take care of whatever came her way, yet she not wish to blow her true identity or purpose so early in the game. Yet nothing came for her. It made a frown rest on her lips as she listened closely now, the gentle breeze carrying a whimper with it. A curious sound. After a moment, Jen hesitantly took a step forward, and then another before carrying herself gracefully over the wood's grounds now and through the twisting trunks of trees. The closer to grew near though, the more she could sense the pain before her cerulean eyes laid on the individual. Nothing but a child. She merely stared for a moment, cautiously and then glancing around. No one else was near. In this moment, the young woman could feel that she still had a heart, if only for a moment, "Are you hurt?" she asked now as she drew closer until she was right besides the boy, eyeing his ankle, "You shouldn't try and force yourself to walk."

Keiran just really wanted to find his sister. It wasn't like her to just disappear. She was always there when he needed her. And, often times, he just somehow was able to find her when she was slacking off. But not now. Right now he didn't have the faintest idea where to go. And that actually scared him a little.

He didn't want to spend the night alone, worrying about his sister. He was nervous of staying alone in shelters, but staying outdoors was even worse. But, then again, he would rather be anywhere than in the woods. But he just trudged on, calling out for his sister.

But the injury caused him to stop. He was still scared, yes. But he couldn't move. He just wanted to cry. Just wanted to scream. Just wanted to yell. He just wanted Lily to appear and make everything better. But he just somehow knew that wasn't going to happen. She just didn't have his intuition.

However, the voice that hit his ears did not belong to his older sister. He just gazed at the woman who appeared. He quieted as he gazed at her, tilting his head as if judging her. "I can walk," he decided, putting on a brave front. His gaze on her was still a calculating one, as if he was trying to figure something out.

"I was looking for my sister, Miss Blake. Have you seen her?" It didn't even dawn on the child that he called her by her name even though he honestly had never met her before. He never really noticed when he did something out of the ordinary, at least until it was pointed out to him.

[Jennifer Blake]

Considering the topic of revenge that often floated around in Jennifer Blake's mind, it might come to a shock that she truly felt for this small little boy, if not only for the fact that he was injured, and in all places, the woods. It brought back memories for Jennifer, of hope and despair, but above all, it reminded her of feeling weak as she laid dying on the ground before the nematon granted her life once more. Her appearance to him, from the shadow of the trees and the brush though, had quieted him. No longer did he cry out, in fact, he merely watched her. But the young woman knew that look, he was studying her, judging her. It didn't bother her though, not from such a young boy and she merely offered him a smile now as he told her that he could walk.

"Are you sure about that?" she asked him curiously now, "I honestly wouldn't try it if I were you." He was merely being brave though, and of course, saw her as a stranger as well. When he didn't move, Jennifer merely crouched down besides him. The leaves underneath her feet crunched from the shift of her weight, cerulean eyes still glancing at his ankle now. For a second, she thought about just using magic, as simple as that but it might be too risky and the last thing that she needed right now was be anything but out of the ordinary. She couldn't break her guise, not even for an innocent boy. However, he did state such a curious thing all of the sudden, something that did not bypass her ears at all. It was now the young woman's turn to watch him carefully now, studying him closely.

A minute or two passed before Jennifer spoke now, "I have not, although I only just got here." Another second passed, "I can help you find her though, but I find it quite curious that you know my name. How is that?" He was too young to be hanging around the high school. Perhaps she would be teaching his sister, but even then, Jennifer thought herself far too new to even make a mark on any student's radar. Cerulean eyes simply watched the boy, wondering if he was like her, that there was more to him than what met the eye. But she had to be tactful about this, she had to be human about this and nothing else. A strange way to be, but considering the threat that she had followed back her, followed back here to her home, everything had to be handled with strategy and tact or else it would end up costing her the game, and maybe, her life as well.

Keiran really wanted to find his sister. He was worried about her. What if she was injured? Or maybe a wild creature found her? He didn't know what he would do without her. She was all he had left and he didn't want to be alone. It was why he even braved going into the woods in the first place.

Kei was sure he could walk if he really put his mind to it. His parents taught them to be able to work under pain. This was nothing. It hurt, yes, but that was to be expected. His concern was finding his sister. And learning that the female hadn't run into his sister was quite disappointing. He really didn't know how he could find her. He couldn't just go back to the shelter without her, and it was dangerous for him to be out without her.

He became quite aware that he must have called her by her name. It hadn't dawned on him before. He just gazed at her with wide eyes before he frowned. "I just know things sometimes." He struggled to his feet. "I don't know why or how..." He just shrugged. "I wish I didn't." He hated the ability to know random things. Out of habit, his thumb found its way to his mouth.
