The Howling (party in the DARK FOREST!)

Victoria just had a bit of a thing for sick parties. So did Riley.

The Dark Forest.

It was raining lightly, and gray, almost nightfall.

Let's do this!



Victoria turned on her trusty ole' stereo.

Then...she started doing back flips.

///GO WT!!!

Riley laughed slightly, sitting on a table watching her friend go crazy.

Although they both loved Within Temptation. And always would.

"We've been seeing what you wanted, got us cornered right now. Fallen asleep from our vanity, might cost us our lives. I hear they're getting closer, Their howls are sending chills down my spine. And time is running out now, They're coming down the hills from behind. When we start killing..." She sang along quietly.

Let's hope they get here soon...

Lucinda ran in her pencil dress she made back in her apartment before she got to the academy

"I'm here!" She said huffing because she's more of a writer not a runner.

Riley awkwardly itched her neck hopping off the table.

"Are you.." She started. "Wearing a dress... Made out of pencils?"

She asked, slightly raising her left eyebrow and examining her sister.

"Crap," She muttered running back to change to her skinny black dress she also made.

She wore her halloween dress. She ran late because she was lost on her laptop

"I'm," She said in between pants "back."

"Sis.." Riley started, rubbing her forehead frustratedly, "You could have stayed in it you kn--"

Riley shook her head.

"Nevermind. You look great." She said giving her a hug.

"I was not staying in that dress," She said letting go of her "It hurts when you sit."

"So," She replied "Where is everyone?"

Riley laughed, sitting back down on the table.

"They should be coming soon. It's kinda hard to miss this." Riley said gesturing towards the lights and tables engulfed in the edge of the forest.

"Is any guy I might be interested in coming?" She replied.

She really kinda wants a boyfriend, she doesn't know why, but she does.

Akward right?

"Chris might be." Riley said with a wink.

"I on the other hand am awaiting the arrival of Logan." She said crossing her arms.

Realizing something, she softened her gaze. "You're very eager to get a boyfriend Lucy, Why is that?"

"I spent my last year being the rebel," She said "I want to change, starting with my hair."

Luci spent the last year being the outcast, a rebel. She and the cheerleaders were like fire and water, which got boring after a while.

"That's exactly how I felt when I had the emo-like black hair. I felt like I was too different."

Riley said, patting the tableside next to her for her sister to sit down.

"But being different isn't all that bad. In fact, Without the weirdos we wouldn't have normal and besides, Normal is boring. And Normal people scare me quite frankly."

She said, trying to make a point.

"Sis," She said pulling up her sleeve, showing bruises from fights she's been in.

Riley gasped grabbing her sisters arm.

"Who did this to you??!!"

"Well," She replied "Cheerleaders and Jocks."

Victoria finally got up and walked over.

"Hey Lucinda-- What happened to your arm?!" she gasped.

"Well," She explained "Let's just say I'm not welcome back at my old school."

She walked off into the rain rembering another song she sang in her room alone.

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in

///OOC: I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

She cried out soaking wet "Why ME?"

She's been the most unluckiest person alive, those bruises weren't from just the cheerleaders but her adopted parents sometimes.

Victoria watched Lucinda walking away, yelling to the sky. Victoria felt horrible for her, and it seemed she had gone through so much pain.

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

She sang while the rain soaked her hair she spun in circles wanting something permanent something that can't be taken from her like the last 15 years of her life.

Victoria walked up quietly by Lucinda and started singing with her.

Lucinda felt someone behind her, she turned around to see Victoria.

She just squeezed her tightly while her tears blended in with the rain.

Victoria just hugged Lucinda, wanting to help her, somehow.

"We can do this," she whispered.

Jeremy walked down to the grounds, and through the trees, finally coming across Victoria and another girl he didn't know, and Riley.

It was raining.

"Um. Hi," he muttered.
