When Love Is Not What It Seems: Drakesing High [IC]

Raven did a few more and then followed Ryan back to the truck and put her stuff in the back. She had completly forgotten to change her clothes but she didn't care. "I'd like dinner, you still owe me two, member?" She laughed and when he put his hand on her leg she looked at it quzzically, wondering where he was going with this and then she felt his lips on her's and she melted into him, after he pulled away she blushed. "I...i..ah..." She stammered slightly and leaned over, kissing him a little harder than he had kissed her and didn't stop.

Ah, well here we go again.. Ryan thought, and he allowed his senses to overpower him. Ryan slid his body over right next to Raven, and placed one hand around her back, and the other around her waist. He embraced her slender body, and kissed her tender lips as he succumb to his carnality.

Raven shivered slightly as he put hsi hand around her waist and back. She embraced his body as well and rubbed his shoulders. She kissed him for a long time before forcing herself to stop. She eyed him carefully and then looked at the car clock. "Maybe we should get to dinner before the resturaunt closes, love." She smiled slightly and blushed slightly before slowly taking her hands off his shoulders and sliding them to his hand and undoing his.

Mathias shook Patricks hand letting his grip slip off of his pistol. "Is your gear all you wanted or do you need something else too."

"Truthfully we don't require anything. We just wanted to get our stuff back. But if you can forgive us for what happened last night." Patrick smiled sheepishly. " Well then if you can forgive us, just know that if you need any help fixing up and getting your friend's organization back in order, well we're here to help."

"I forgive you. Things happen in the heat of battle that we often regret. Though I don't believe that my friend is as forgiving as I am. " As Mathias spoke Scarlet walked up to him and asked him for the coordinates. Mathias then waved for Patrick to come inside and whispered the coordinates in Scarlet's ear. "Can we trust that you will be there for us when we initiate the raid. We might need more than three soldiers and a techy. You could be an immense help."

"I just want to test the systems. We will go around town while the car drives."Fred then opened the door to the lab section and smiled. "Want to sit with me for a while?"

Lauren smiled "I don't get into cars with random men but Scarlet trust you so I do to". Lauren got into the back and started up systems.Scarlet then ran down the into the hole and whispered the coordinantes into Freds ear.

Ah, well here we go again.. Ryan thought, and he allowed his senses to overpower him. Ryan slid his body over right next to Raven, and placed one hand around her back, and the other around her waist. He embraced her slender body, and kissed her tender lips as he succumb to his carnality.

She eyed him carefully and then looked at the car clock. "Maybe we should get to dinner before the resturaunt closes, love." She smiled slightly and blushed slightly before slowly taking her hands off his shoulders and sliding them to his hand and undoing his.

Ryan looked at the clock in surprise. "You're right baby." He cursed himself for not keeping track of the time and for falling to his weakness. With that he started the ruck and they left. They went out to dinner at a regular restaurant and had a fun time when an angry mage at another table made his waiter fly around after the mage had argued with the waiter saying he had been brought the wrong dish. Soon enough though they had returned home. Once they had gotten inside Ryan said to Raven "Well now I only owe you one dinner, but who's keeping track? I could owe you two hundred for all i know." Ryan chuckled slightly at his own joke, not sure if Raven would laugh as well. "Is there anything else you want to do baby?" he asked.

[Fowlick]

"Do we want to go now?"Fred asked scarlet."Or are we waiting for a signal. If so I will be running tests on the autopilot, and you can call when you are ready."

Raven laughed at the mage and waved, he had waved back and winked at her but she ignored him and after a while calmed down. She got into the truck with Ryan and when they got home she fell right onto the ouch and just laid down. "Well, first you don't call me baby, you call me "sweets" though. If you do call me baby again no treat." She was playing with him...she never did this with any guy. She then found herself giggiling at his expression and laughed.

After hours of waiting Oleg became impatient' a few minutes later a voice came on the radio "Boss' it looks like they built some sort of device in there" Oleg was startled by the voice and immediately replied to it "What kind of device?" the radio was interrupted by static and a deeper more monotone Russian accent came on "Perhaps I can explain Oleg" The imps were drawn to the voice on the radio' Oleg's face turned into a more serious face "Yuri!" Yuri responded on the radio "The device is called a psychic beacon' there is one such device located in your previous apartment" Oleg started to worry "More of your mind control tricks?" Yuri replied on the radio with the same emotionless voice "Not tricks Oleg' in a few hours the beacon will be transported to the most populated area of the city where it will release a tidal wave of psychic energy' designed to dominate the minds of an entire city. There will be no more free will. Only my will" the imps started to worry and Oleg's voice started to sound angry "You think you can threaten me with your terrorist tactics? I did escape that facility you know!" Yuri's voice started to sound more sarcastic "Did you? Indeed? I think not" the radio went static and Oleg started to feel guilty believing that he brought them here' the imps sheepishly walked towards him with smiles on their faces "Boss...you know we cant just run away from this. You need to stand up to them for once' like you did along time ago" Oleg slumped down next to a tree and began to think in silence.

"Okay then sweets" Ryan smiled and sat down on the couch with Raven. He was slightly exhausted from the day, but he didn't care. "So what treat to I get for obeying?" Ryan chuckled. He could tell Raven was having fun teasing him, and he was obliged to return the favor a little.

Raven smiled and sat up, walking up the steps and stoping, waiting for him. She wasn't going to say anything she was going to see if he could figure it out himself. She was going to test him to see if he would do what ever she said and if his brain would register it.

Ryan looked at Raven as she looked at him, waiting for him on the steps. He smiled slightly as he followed her up the stairs. He got the hint that Raven wanted him to follow, but he knew his girlfriend to be in a playing mood and thought of several different things she could be hinting to him. Out of his curiosity he playfully asked her 'What are you planning sweets?"

"You have to find out." She smiled and toyed with him on the steps as she said that and ran up the and then a soft tyhump and she lnded on the bed and doors closed. Now he would have to find which one she was in.

[Transoxthraxia]

Kate looked at the boy, confused for a moment, " I just got the change... i dont even know why i got there...except for being smart...." Then the Draconian began to give her signs of interest and thats when Kate began to get irritated. She punched him in the jaw, hard enough to knock him out of his seat but nothing more. "Sorry.." she blushed,"Im already am with someone...."

Kate took her tray and dumped it, blushing all the way. Transcended bonded for life once they have met their Athi'enn. They would never choose another unless or until the mate or spouse died. Silva was hers, and she would be faithful to the end. And with that, she walked away blushing in embarrassment.

Black rubbed his sore jaw. He got back up confused. How could a human punch a draconian that hard, much less a female human? She didn't use any form of magic, or Black would have sniffed it. Riley came over and spoke to Black, and Black nodded still rubbing his chin. Black began to think that Kate may not be only human, but she didn't have the characteristics of a vampire or werewolf. "Yeah I'm alright, thanks Riley. I'm curious though.. that girl she isn't a human.. no female human I've heard of is capable of punching a draconian like me the way she did without some unseen force or magic aiding her.. no normal human anyways.." Black rubbed his jaw more, but then green aura appeared around Black, it fizzed, and suddenly the bruise on Black's jaw disappeared, and Black didn't feel sore anymore. Kate had inadvertently triggered the spell when she punched black, her powers mingling with the aura of the aura of the spell. Black noticed himself glow green, and looked at his hand, his eyes widening as his thought process began to comprehend what he just saw. Either that girl is a demon in disguise.. or she's the enlightened... Black clenched his fist, knowing that the dragon leader Drachhiem would kill him for even daring to mingle with an enlightened creator. A solid determination and enthusiasm to attend to his task now overcame him. He would find out the truth. Black looked at Riley and put his claw hands on Riley's shoulders lightly, asking him "I need you to do me a favor here. If the Kate girl comes asking you anything about me, I will need you to vouch for me, okay? I need to find out something from her."

Meanwhile, Eric looked around after Mio asked him to introduce her to new people. "Er..yeah I can introduce you around.." there was hardly anybody here Eric knew too well, and making introductions with people he barely knew was always awkward for him. He did notice Black and Riley standing by each other, and decided that introducing Mio to those two would be a good start. "I see two people I can introduce you too right now. Come on." Eric got up and walked over to Black and Riley. "Hey guys! what's up? I want to introduce you to someone, her name's Mio." Black left after talking to Mio a bit, and Eric looked at Riley who remained behind. "Uh.. Well Riley, this is Mio. Mio, this is Riley." Eric put his hand behind his head and rubbed his head nervously.

Black looked over at Eric, as he introduced Mio to him. "Oh yeah.." Black remembered Eric and the other fangs mention something about a new girl Eric and Samantha had found. "Nice to meet you Mio. The name's Black, if you want to hang out Eric can tell you my number. Call me sometime and we'll go out." Black looked at Kate as she was walking away. "I have to go, later." Black ran after Kate. He had to befriend her.

Black caught up too Kate, "Hey wait!" Black said as he stepped around in front of her to get her to stop. "The name is Black" He went on to say "Sorry for my conduct back there Kate. If I knew you were already bonded with another mate, I wouldn't have been lascivious like I was." Black went on to explain. "But I do want your help and I was curious. It's a goal of mine to try and get the best education here possible. You're smart, and I know you could help me get a better education here." Black cringed on the inside at his words. Draconians didn't like asking for help, but no other options became apparent to him at the time. "If you could take me with you to your class with Mrs. GaiaStone and put in a good word for me, or maybe find time to help me study, I will make it worth your while. I'll do anything you ask in return." Black continued. "I also wanted to find out why you were sitting alone for a while. You looked like you were deep in thought, and had a dark cloud over your head. So Naturally I was curious. What was troubling you?"

"Oh... Oh hi!" Said Mio, somewhat shyly. "Hey Black... Hey Riley..." She said quietly, trying to be as outgoing as possible. Then she saw black run off to catch a girl who seemed to be storming away angrily. So, then is was just her and Riley. "So Riley, I'm Mio... How old are you?" She asked, awkwardly trying to start a conversation with her new acquaintance. Her hands had been interlocked but now they hung by her side.

[Parone92]

Kate looked at the boy who she had punched earlier. She frowned, "Fine i'll try my best....but honestly dont know what i can do." Kate paused for a moment, "i was sitting alone because Silva's at practice and....nothing ever seems to be normal here...." Kate turned around. She had a cousin who once was Mated with a Draconian but that was Millenia ago. In truth Kaez'rii'tia never found them as interesting. True love of Mortals was more interesting to her. It was why she ran away in the first place. Else her brother would continue to court her to make her his Athi'enn.

But Kate told Black none of these things. He didnt need to know her secrets.....[/quote]

"All things considered Kate, you aren't a normal human being and this isn't a normal school. But then again being normal is boring." Black said, folding his scaled arms and looking at Kate intently. "There's been so much chaos in the last few days it's hard to keep track with everything. If something in the past is troubling you, try to look towards the future but never forget those who were lost. You're alive, your mate is alive, and you have powerful friends around you to protect you, not that you would need protection if you can send a draconian to the ground with just your normal strength." Black said pointing to himself. "If you have the advanced class now, I'll follow you there, or if you need anything done just say so."

"You have to find out." She smiled and toyed with him on the steps as she said that and ran up the and then a soft tyhump and she lnded on the bed and doors closed. Now he would have to find which one she was in.

Ryan followed her up, but didn't see her when He chanced a look in his room; she wasn't in there. He breathed a sigh of relief, and took his gauntlets and hidden blade off, hiding them in his room. Ryan continued searching until he found Raven in one of the few bedrooms, on the bed. He smiled and got onto the bed with her. "So the secret is revealed" he said before kissing her on the lips.

Raven giggled when he found her and smiled. "yes it is..." She watches him carefully as he comes in and kisses him back, pulling him closer. After a while though she gently pushes a hand to his chest to see if he would get the message to get off of her and to stop. If not then he would fail the first test. Like though she would ever tell him it was a test.

Riley cocked his head sideways and his eyes flicked upon his empty paw. He was unsure whether Mio was just oblivious to his gesture to shake paws or whether she didn't want to. He returned his extended paw to his side and the kangaroo gave her a curt nod instead. "I'm 15. A sophomore," Riley replied to the girl's question. She had strikingly gorgeous blonde hair and blue eyes. Her voice seemed a bit quiet, and almost fragile, but she wasn't the only one who was feeling socially awkward between the two. Riley's eyes flicked from one place to another, his caramel sight orbs never really focusing on a single thing in the cafeteria. "Y-You wanna sit down?" he asked the girl and he offered her one of the seats by the empty table that he was sitting at previously before he was called upon by Black.

[Novia Soviet Socialist Republic]

Oleg sat up with a grin on his face and his eyes wide open "Furk yurr brain wave!" The imps turned to him still trying to get the other imp on the radio "Whats up boss?" Oleg walked down towards the school and signaled the imps to follow him. Eventually the walk into the canteen' Oleg examines the environment. He notices Riley and another girl he had never seen before' still in his combat uniform he walks up to the table and slams his fist down onto it to gain their attention "I know this sounds absurd and but its the only thing I can think of" the imps looked at the group around the table confused "Riley I've only known you for like 6 hours but I need your help" Oleg turned towards the girl and smiles in a comforting fashion "Sorry to interrupt' may I ask your name?" The imps walked up to the table "Um boss I don't think its wise getting mortals involved in this" Oleg put his hand out to Mio "My names Oleg" The imps realizing that Oleg was still dressed in combat uniform beckoned for Oleg to get out of sight' to no avail.

Raven giggled when he found her and smiled. "yes it is..." She watches him carefully as he comes in and kisses him back, pulling him closer. After a while though she gently pushes a hand to his chest to see if he would get the message to get off of her and to stop. If not then he would fail the first test. Like though she would ever tell him it was a test.

((Ah, I remember the first time a girl put me through a test similar to this. I was so confused but I got the message after a few minutes =P))

Ryan felt Raven's hand on his chest pushing him away. Ryan looked into Raven's eyes, not lost in love though; rather looking for an answer as to why he was being pushed away. He found several, and all the answers did not make him happy. But he remembered she stopped his advances on her in his truck as well, and he cursed himself for not realizing it sooner.I'm moving too fast with her. She has doubts about my intentions with her. He recognized his error, and cursed himself internally for his weak judgment. His parent's deaths, and the deaths of his friends made him weak, and he was rushing Raven into too many things too quickly to avoid his sadness, and it was only resulting in him pushing her away. Ryan tried to smile, and he said 'I understand" but his face betrayed him, and for a moment a look of shame and misery could be seen on his face. He decided to just be straightforward and honest, since she deserved that at least. Ryan sat to the side of the bed.

"I'm sorry.." was all he could say, then he was silent for a moment before he found the strength to continue. "It's.. my fault. When my parents and friends died in the attack, you were there too comfort me when I needed it the most...I love you..you make me happy. But I'm being selfish, and I must have pushed you into things too quickly because I wanted to avoid the pain, and the sadness..I made you doubt me, and test me.. if I was stronger, you wouldn't have felt the need to test me. So I understand why if you want to take things slow. I hope you can forgive me for this." Ryan hanged his head in shame. What would my parents think of my conduct? he thought. Ryan felt too ashamed and pathetic to look at his love's eyes. "What.. how can I make it up to you?" He asked, his throat growing dry.

"Truthfully we don't require anything. We just wanted to get our stuff back. But if you can forgive us for what happened last night." Patrick smiled sheepishly. " Well then if you can forgive us, just know that if you need any help fixing up and getting your friend's organization back in order, well we're here to help."

"I forgive you. Things happen in the heat of battle that we often regret. Though I don't believe that my friend is as forgiving as I am. " As Mathias spoke Scarlet walked up to him and asked him for the coordinates. Mathias then waved for Patrick to come inside and whispered the coordinates in Scarlet's ear. "Can we trust that you will be there for us when we initiate the raid. We might need more than three soldiers and a techy. You could be an immense help."

Patrick looked at him calmly and took out a knife." I can do a blood pact with you if you wish. Actually I would prefer it as that would ensure we don't have to worry about you backstabbing us nor would you have to worry about us. But we would need everyone present. And this isn't the entire team and I cannot speak for the three others who aren't here. But either way essentially yes you can rely on our help." He looked behind his back. Simultaneously Raven,Dawn, and Eli nodded.

"Y-You wanna sit down?" he asked the girl and he offered her one of the seats by the empty table that he was sitting at previously before he was called upon by Black.

"Sure." She said quietly. She looked back up at Eric. "Eric, you'd be doing me the biggest favor if you could go and get me something to eat, please?" She asked in her nicest voice, then turned back to Riley, captivated by his caramel eyes. They were strangely captivating, never really focusing on one thing. He was a technical "year" older than her, but he seemed outgoing and friendly enough.

[Novia Soviet Socialist Republic]

Oleg was slightly irritated towards the fact they hadn't noticed him slamming his hand on the table in front of them' he looked back to the imps who were pointing at their wrist indicating that they were running out of time' Oleg snapped his fingers in front of them in hopes to get a response "Pay attention you two this is important!" the imps were once again trying to find the other imp through radio to no success.

Simultaneously Raven,Dawn, and Eli nodded.

"So we have an army at our hands with the sole goal of the blood sparrows resurrection to peace and science. Get the rest of your group and appear back here when you can." Mathias walked downstairs back to Scarlet and Fred "We aren't leaving yet. We still have thing to do. We need weapons, blueprints of the base, and if at all possible some armor." Ethan walked over to Mathias and said "How did it go with the punks at the door." "They are going to help us with the invasion." Mathias replied. "WHAT! Whatever happened to giving them their stuff and walking away and what is this talk of invasion! I thought you just wanted to kill your father and get your memories back and even that's insane. You and all of your friends are going to die on this mission Matt and I'm not sticking around for it." Ethan angrily storms out of Scarlet's house.

[Videssos]

Michael cleared his throat a little, perturbed that Mio hadn't noticed him. He repeated himself, though, being ignored as he was, he had heard a few names in the conversation, and so changed his words accordingly, smiling warmly as he spoke, golden eyes than spoke of his werewolf nature roaming over her for a moment, before focusing on her face. "So, Mio, how is everything going for you these days?"

Mio gasped and turned to Michael, who she hadn't seen before. "I'm... I'm good... Sorry, do I know you?" She asked nervously, glancing back at Riley.

Michael's smile widened a little. "Oh, not at the moment. Though I have a feeling that may change in the time to come. Just how much, of course, is up to you..."

[The Kangaroo Republic]

Riley gazed at Michael. Mio was conspicuously feeling uneasy about the wolfish-eyed fellow who approached the two and spoke to Mio by her name. He was unsure whether he was supposed to jump into action for her or something. He didn't know how to deal with these sorts of things, but he guessed this must have been what it's like when two males try to compete for a female in the wild, except he just met Mio, so exactly what was it all about? Still, that alpha male rush went right through him and Riley just continued directing his warning glare straight onto his golden irises, which told him in silence not to try anything to cause the abashed girl more disquietude.
