Slowly Nicolette Victorie Divine’s eyes fluttered open, she sighed quietly, ever so quietly that it nearly seemed inaudible. Her body shivered as she heard someone knock on her midnight blue door, which matched her since her theme was the night sky. As the person on the side spoke up, Nicolette got up and murmured, “I’m…up.” As she heard the footsteps retreat away, Nicolette dropped onto her midnight blue-purple carpet. This was not the usual Nicolette, in fact Nicolette normally tried her best to stay in bed as long a she could. She took a small peek, from the corner of her eye, to her yellow star clock which read 10:30 AM. Which meant she got at least 6 hours of EXTRA sleep… Well not really extra for the normal student BUT it was normal for a Junior League Ice Skater.

Slowly yet quickly she got up and went to her bathroom, quickly she did her normal morning routine but just a teeny bit slower. As she hummed a song she began looking through her semi-large walk-in closet. And in the end she went with a black tank top, jeans, black and purple Vans, and a lot of accessories. Quickly, Nicolette applied eye-liner, mascara, and some lip-gloss. Sighing quietly, she looked in the mirror and thought she looked alright and quickly she grabbed a black, white, purple, maroon bag, {think of the bag in that color xP} which had her make-up bag, notebook, pencil/pen, eraser, high-lighter, a book, wallet, Ocean Helio, keys, and her black Mini Video iPod. She opened her door and while she did that she took out her iPod and put it in her back pants pocket; she also put the earphone into her ear. Closing her door she began humming to song, quickly she snuck into the kitchen and grabbed a Granny Smith Apple. And as quietly as she could she left the house and called out to her parents, “I’m doing out!!! Call me on my cell if you need me…” And with that she left the house.

She sighed, yet again, as she began walking away from the household to a bus stop. As soon as the bus came, she went up and sat down on it. The bus just continued to go about the San, which did not last long since it was so small, and went off to Marseille. And soon enough the spot where she wanted to be came up, quietly and quickly she got off the large mobile and went over to the beautiful sight before. A small smile crossed her lips as she saw the absolutely gorgeous sight, exhaling deeply she went over to a cliff-like area on the beach. She removed the earphone and just continued to look at the sight. As she continued to watch the waves, sea gulls, and whatnot she began to quietly sing,

“Once upon a broken heart
I was walking alone in the dark
Looking for a way to start again
What I wouldn't give for a friend
There was no love in my life
There was no light in my eyes
All the tears that I had cried and cried
Seemed like they'd never end

And I never believed fairytales came true
But now I know that they really do
Now that I found you, now that I'm here with you
Just look at the sunshine, and you
Showed me a world
That I'd never seen
I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine

Long ago and far away
I could never dream of the day
That your love would come my way and stay
And sweep me away and I

Never believed fairytales came true
But now I know that they really do
Now that I found you, now that I'm here with you
Just look at the sunshine, and you
Showed me a world
That I'd never seen
I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine

this is the way a fairytale feels
This is the way I know it's real
'Cause this is the way a broken heart heals

And I never believed fairytales came true
But now I know that they really do
Now that I found you, now that I'm here with you
Just look at the sunshine, and you
Showed me a world
That I'd never seen
I woke up and fell into this dream
Happily ever after just took time
Once upon this broken heart of mine….”

As she finished she thought about the vague and blurry images of her parents, her father had raven black long hair and her mother had raven black hair that was long too. Her father had chocolate brown eyes and her mother had beautiful green eyes… Those were the vague things she was sure about, but other things…. She wasn’t so sure, like had her parents really met at the beach? The one spot that she loved…oh how she wanted to grow-up hearing the stories about how her parents met, the way her father proposed and asked her mother to marriage. She sighed quietly and slowly her eyes began to water up. The things she wanted to have always and normally got stolen from her.

She murmured and looked up the sky above her, which was clear and beautiful, “Mama…Papa…why did you have to be taken from me…? Why…? I need you…I don’t understand…sure….I have Aiden-Papa…Drakon-Papa…but…Mama…Papa…why…? I never…and barely know you… You are the reason why I’m here…its just…so unfair…” She sighed as she slowly stood up and went back to where the bus had stopped. She took her time as she began walking down to the sand and salty water. She first rolled up her pants and pulled them up; slowly and carefully as she could, Nicolette took a few steps into the great body of water. Though she stood there, the water continued to flow as if she wasn’t there at all.

[[ Hullo there ^^ ]]

It was rare to see Luthan anywhere near a beach. He detested it during the summer months. The scores upon scores of people wearing practically nothing, with so much excess baggage that what little they did wear seemed to disappear into various valleys of blubber, the chaotic screams of little tykes running about without a thought in their head. But thankfully, that was not the case today, so he could visit the shore without having to face such atrocities. It was winter, hardly anyone would be at the beach, and if they were, they'd have a decent amount of clothing on, especially if they were plus-sized.

Despite his dislike of the sterotypical beach activities and atmosphere, there was something about the quiet scene that confronted him now that he found soothing. Sunrise had since passed, but the golden circle was still making its way slowly up to its throne in the sky. The serenity and tranquility was welcomed by the young blonde male; he preferred it so much more than the hustle and bustle of city life. Just some time where he could spend observing his surroundings, alone.

Or not quite alone, as he soon realised. Down on the beach, there was someone, a lone figure singing. Even Luthan's sharp ears could not discern the words, for the sea breeze was distorting the sounds as they reached him, and she wasn't singing loudly, but he could hear the unmistakeble sounds of a melody. His eyes tracked her movements carefully, as he stood at the threshold of the beach, hands in his pockets.

The song faded, and the girl stepped into the icy water, causing a mild jolt of surprise within Luthan. It wasn't shocking, people with brain damage often did strange things, and he wasn't one to be surprised so easily. Yet, something was compelling him to play the nice guy. At least for a while. He didn't know why, he couldn't see her clearly enough to be infatuated, nor did he lend himself to such ridiculous fantasies, but whatever the reason, he stepped out onto the sand and approached her, giving his hand a casual wave as he walked towards her. The seawater at her feet obeyed, and a hole in the water around her feet appeared where she stood, so that she was simply standing on the sand. "It's far too cold for a young lady to be stepping into the chilly ocean depths. You would get sick for sure." Luthan had no qualms about demonstrating his powers. Why should he? They made him a more powerful individual, and if others had a problem with it, then he would carefully condition and persuade them until they no longer had an objection, whether that came at the cost of their physical health or not.

Nicki’s eyes turned to where Luthan was, an eyebrow automatically shot up and she murmured, “I’m not…cold.” She wasn’t cold, she was rather…numb. Perhaps it was because of all the pain, she did not know and actually did not really understand. Her mind had completely slipped into a state of blankness when it came to feeling cold, pain, etc. As her hair began to flutter, blinding her face to an extent, she murmured, “And either way…it…feels…good…” It sort of did, in a odd way, feeling the tiny pebbles, the tide, the water, it just all felt great.

She began humming the tune of the song she had previously sang and sort of smiled as she began to bury her feet into the sand. As she continued to murmured in a semi-dull tone, “I’m…Nicolette Divine by the way…” She knew, she probably seemed odd. Since it was not just Winter but very freezing. And well, she also did not seem to be wearing anything oh-too warm. Sighing quietly she walked over to where it was dry and plopped down, since her legs seemed to be giving out.

She sighed, yet again, and began playing with the sand; yet before that all she had slipped on her black and purple Vans. Cocking her head to the side she spoke up curiously, “Why…are you here…?” She currently knew for a fact that she seemed like a complete and total weirdo. After all, she had just been in the ocean bare-footed in the Winter. And also had stated that it was not cold.

{sorry if it ish short, no muse. @.@;;; Ehh…}

[luthan]

So she was weird, in denial, and a hopeless liar. Just by looking at her, it was fairly obvious that she was feeling the chill. Luthan watched wordlessly as she hummed the same tune again, before taking herself out of the ocean and landing on the sand. He was beginning to regret coming here. Yet, it had been a while since he had done the whole nice guy thing, so this would be an ideal opportunity to give it a run.

Her half-hearted introduction didn't arouse any feelings in him, whether they were supposed to be love, pity or annoyance. He kept staring out at the ocean, and replied curtly. "Luthan Talinthorpe," nodding to acknowledge her. Her next question was of a more personal nature, and Luthan ran through possible answers in his mind before selecting one.

"I am here... because I find it is a soothing place to come when one needs time to think. In the middle of winter, you don't often find people on the beach at all." He glanced at Nicolette, and noticed the involuntary shivers that betrayed the fact that she was indeed feeling the cold. Sighing with a practised precision, he took off the coat he was wearing and draped it over her shoulders. "What were you thinking, going in there?"

[nicki]

Nicki just listened but when he gave her his jacket, her eyes widen. Was she really shaking? She looked at herself and she noticed goosebumps had arose. Biting her lower lip she murmured, "Th...thank you..." She was actually very lucky, lucky that she had not fainted.

Sighing quietly she continued to play with the sand and began to tell her reason, "I'm an...orphan...I got adopted by my parent's friends...I never knew my parents...just...vague...and blurry images pop up... But what I heard was that...my Father proposed to my Mother on the beach... I don't know... I suppose...to figure out...my history...who I really am...I know I'm not a Day...but a Divine..." She shook her head and muttered, once again, "I must seem like a nut..."

She just continued to stare out at the ocean, she did not know what the hell to do. She sighed quietly and murmured, almost inaudible this time though, "This would be a brilliant place to practice..." To practice her power, Gyrokinesis. She loved her power but it was so difficult to use. She still barely could lift small things without fainting or straining and she hated it. She really, really did.

She curiously looked at Luthan and a question ran through her head, Is Luthan a...Tainted....? That was one of the few questions that normally popped into her head. But she never dared to ask, unless the person asked first. That was because she did not need people to think of her a odd ball, since she was one as it is.
