When Sarah moved here to this city she thought ahe was going to be able to forget the past. But no matter where you go....the ghosts....the memories...the sorrow will follow you where ever you are. It's nothing that you can run from...nor hide. It's a part of a past that's tied to you till the end of time.
It's not easy to rid your mind of images...of voices....of converstations and fights...when you are alone, sitting quite....your mind wonders and those things evenutally come back to you no matter how hard you push it back.
But this city....seems like it plays on the past....on things that are dreadful and what people fear. This city has such a dark cloud over it even on the sunniest days. There's a beast that lies in the belly of this city that some how pulls in things and keeps them here....like it is it's only way to survive. To feed off the pain and the guilt.....and all dreadful things.
Nothing in this city is pure. Well....there's barely nothing in this whole hell for saken world that is pure, but there's something about this places that pulls in everything else. Everything else that isn't human...though it is the perfect place for someone like me.
Sarah had been gone from the city for a while....a court hearing for my father...for him to be released on good behavior...Hn...good behavior... She don't understand why...you can get life for something so stupid, but murder he can get out for good behavior...something he didn't mean to do...hell these people don't know what their talking about at all.
She didn't feel like facing him again...she didn't even feel like battleing it all over again...but there was nothing she could do about it. This world was just fu*cked up and the people that were in it. There was no need for this court hearing at all. No need!
As Sarah walked down the darken streets and had looked up to see the rising moon, she knew that this city was going to be a mad house tonight...a crazy mad house.. She slowly took her gazed off the moonlit sky and looked forward to the firmiliar tower that she knew so well.
She couldn't sense it in the air something bad had happened her while she was gone. Little flashes of things here and there and she was worried about Claud.
She was climbed the stairs and stood by the door hesitating on going in she gently placed her pale fingers against the dark wood and just stood there for a moment before slowly pushing it open and standing in the door way gazing upon the room.

In the weeks that had followed Claudius’s regain of the tower, much repair had to be done to the old stone tower. After weeks of toils, nearly months since that horrid night, the place was looking as good as new. The young raven haired male had been heading up to his study when he heard the door click with his lesser gargoyle ears. His body stiffened, swiftly moving from demon to human the young witch moved back through the shadows in caution to see who had entered. It had to of been someone allowed entry before, or his blood spell would of kept intruders out. No, this had to be someone he knew. He stopped, just short of the main entry way. Watching, waiting to see who it was when the young female had entered. It took him a moment to realize…. Who exactly it was…
“ Sarah?” He whispered a bit unsure if his eyes were tricking him.
“ Is… is that you?” he asked again, stepping out into the light to reveal a man that seemed a bit broken in a way. His shirt not as neatly kept, his hair a bit softer and messier then usual. Tired eyes of teal that had started to fade from their original brilliance looked out onto the woman…could it be….. Could it?

Sarah's soft violet eyes slowly moved over to were Claud was standing. She opened her mouth to speak but didn't and slowly pushed it into a soft smile at him.
"...Yes...it's been a long time hasn't it..." She finally spoke out to him as she stood still in her spot. She let her gaze fall down to her feet for a moments time as she began to speak once more.
"...It's been a while hasn't it..? I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving...I had....some old business to take care of." She told him as images of her father kept playing through her head. "...But it seems like a lot has gone on while I was away..."
She lifted her gaze up at him as she let her eyes soften, a small frown upon her face.
"...I'm sorry Claud...I'm sorry that I wasn't here for you..." She shook her head as she looked around the room and than laid her eyes back onto him.

Claudius smirked a bit. Looking away from her eyes as he ran his hand through his raven locks.
“ I understand. It was better if you were not here for what did happen.” He told her as he moved over to the main chairs in the room and went to pour some hot water for tea. Dropping two bags, he walked back over to the chairs. Setting down the drinks he had not asked if she wanted he motioned for her to sit.
“ The tower isn’t as it used to be, if you haven’t guessed. The coven deserted me.” He told her. Shakeing his head a bit.
“ They know….. My secret.” He whispered. Looking down into his own cup of tea darkly. Letting the words hang on in the air before her… letting them soak into her mind.
“ I’m a wanted man.” He added stirring the tea bag a bit with a frown as if he had just been talking about the weather.

Sarah moved across the room, "Rather been here than there of all places..." She spoke out in a soft whisper, her violet eye slightly glassy. Shaking her head slightly, she moved over to where the chairs where and watched Claud's movements before takeing a seat down onto them. She reached over for the cup of tea. The hot cup warming up her pale soft hands. Listening...soaking up the words that Claud was speaking.
She kept her eyes off of him and looked acrossed the room. As if her mind was off somewhere else for the moment as she spoke to him.
"...You know it's funny...how people are afraid of things that they don't understand...just because someone is different they have to abandon them...or they..." She paused for a moment a chill had went down her spin as bloody images of the past came to her mind. Her mother's horrfied face...her father's anger....
"...It's not right....that person they knew for so long never changes...." She looked back at Claud and took a sip of her tea.
"...It's not right that they deserted you....your still the same person...you have done so much for this coven and they don't see that?"

Sitting down across from her only caused the stoic man to frown all the more.
“ I am a traitor to my race. Simple as that. For that I have been pegged a sinner. It didn’t help. I was caught up in a situation between a dragon and a council man. It’s been a horrid time.” He sighed at this as he looked up to the ceiling. Letting his tea stir a bit within the cup one could tell the man was past emotional exhaustion. He was simply stuck as to what to do.
“ I’ve decided to rebuild a new order, our code name so far has been the wandering stars but I am searching for a better name, a better way to prove to them…. Paranormals and witches can live together. I may be cursed, but I’m still a witch as well. If I can overcome my issues …. There has to be others who can learn to tolerate what is not human.” He pointed out as he turned teal orbs back to her once more.

"...Is Adrian and some of the other's still withyou at least?" Sarah questioned. Atleast Adrian should have stood by him....he didn't seem like the type to turn his back away from him. She took a small sip of her tea and smiled slightly at him.
"...Wandering Stars...??" She let out a small laugh as she shook her head slightly at that and looked dwn at her lap.
"...I'm sorry...but it just sounds like a hippie group or something...but it's a good idea that you have. You don't need the coven, you can do this thing on your own. Without them breathing down your neck all the time."

" It was... a group decision. So don't start on me about the name. Adrian, for what he's worth is still about. He's running the magical supply shop since his friend passed....he's still a mess as usual. He was branded a traitor too... seems like our spazzy friend is well... part of the spiritual world ... in a way. The old light guardian.... as weird as it sounds." Claud explained as he ran his hand through his hair yet again.
" Things have been crazy about here....." He sighed as he looked back up to her with a bit of a smile.
" I just need to find supporters... funding.... everything that I had when I ran the coven. Alot of my funds have been cut short of course... without the backing of the coven." He told her. Seeing her take on this.

"...I can tell...flashy images help me out with the story and all.." She smiled poorly at him as she turned her gaze towards a window...or whatever there is in that tower that you can see some of the night sky... ... Her eyes staring at the stars in a awwed sort of way. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, letting thoughts run though her mind before throwing any ideas out to him. What did she have to loose....nothing really. It wasn't like she really needed it. She had always lived just simple and that was it. "...I can help on the funding.." She finally spoke out. "...I have inherited money long ago from my mother's death...and I never touched it. Atleast it can go to some good." She told him.

" I couldn't ask that of you... though... if you want to help me gather supporters, and assets... -THAT- would be appreciated." He smirked as his gaze turned to the upper windows of the tower. A light snowfall could be seen in the night sky from the faint lamps outside. Slowly he looked back to her. Letting his teal eyes lite up in excitement.
" I need workers... more then anything you know. Money can only go so far without bodies to put it to use." He grinned. Waiting to see what she thought on this.

"...Oh course I would help you gather supporters. I would happy to do that...but really I would like to help on the funding if you let me...that money just sits there and barely ever gets touched." She told him as she looked back over at him and gazed.
She leaned forward and placed her tea cup down upon the table and leaned back in her chair, folding her hands and laying them on her lap.
"...We're the only ones that are trying to help this city keep it's peace. It's worth what ever to kick start what we need to continue our good deed so to say."

" Fine but... no more then 10% of the funding can come from you. I don't want you exhausting your bank account on me." He reminded her as he winced a bit and leaned forward in pain. He had been in his human form for way too long and was still fighting the need to retain and rightful shape.
" We should tell Adrian of your return.... I bet he'll be happy to see you." He smiled gently as he set down his tea cup as well.
" Are you hungry?" He asked her. Wondering if there was anything he could do for her.
" Do you need a place to stay? Just say it and I'll help you." He smiled at her.
" It's the least i can do, old friend." He added warmly.

"...It's all right I still have my same ol haunted apartment." She smiled softly at Claud, waving her hand back and forth idlely. "I'm good, but I could go for the food! Haven't had a good meal in a while. It get's tireing eating the same ol thing every day." And when you live by yourself there is no need to make stuff cause you always end up with a lot left over since stuff in food marts is packaged big. TV dinners work just fine. Ahaha..
"It'll be nice to see some firmiliar faces." She smiled softly. "...I was lonely for that long amount of time when I was away from here. Even though people say this place is the center of hell...it's still kinda home." She laughed lightly Ha! Hell can be a nice placed to live! : D

"Uh, huh, well you want to head over to Comrades? I hear they have a new cook there. Might be able to get something half way decent for once." He smirked as he moved to stand up and get his jacket.
" Unless you have something else in mind." He pointed out, smirking a bit.
" Maybe we'll get lucky and see Adrian. The spazz is still as amuseing as ever." He snorted as he waited for her to catch up.

"No, not at all. That sounds perfectly fine with me." Sarah smiled as she stood from her sitting spot on the chair and moved across the room to the door to head on out. She let out a small laugh as she listened to Claud's little comment.
"...So I take it that you finally know about Adrian's little thing...?" She had questioned. She had her run in with Adrian a long time ago when she had found out about the secret of his and promised that she was going to keep in hush hush for him.

Claudius stopped at the door for a moment. Turning around to look at Sarah a bit confused.
" You mean... you knew... about Adrians little..... problem?" He asked her. One brow rose abouve his eye as he continued on.
" And you didn't inform me about it?" He added. Not beliveing his ears. He didn't know Sarah knew.... but if she knew how many other people knew before he knew!!!! He was the boss! He should of known everything that was going on around here!!

Sarah just gave him a small smile as she walked pass him. "...Well, you know with my disorder that I hve...I tend to know things before other people...but I promised him I wouldn't tell you..." She stopped and turned to him and folded her arms in front of her.
"...Like I promised you that I would never tell your secret...He to was afraid to speak of it to you. It's not like you were going to tell him your secret even though he didn't care anyway when he found out." She told him straight on out. Everyone had their secrets and didn't have to tell anyone.

Claud let his mouth hang open for a moment, his hand outwards as if he was about to say something but.... he couldn't. She had a point and well... he couldn't argue against it. Instead he merely shook his head a bit and smirked. " Your right, I can't argue with that cause I know exactly where he was comeing from. Hm.... " He mused to himself as he shoved his hands into his coat pockets. " So ironic though, though thats the way this mad city tends to turn." He grinned before he waved her onward. " Come on. Lets get to the bar." He grinned a bit. (( Ooc: Next post to be made in the current thread at the bar ))
