Nexus Academy (Fandom/School RP) {STILL OPEN! Or you know you could stalk.}

Cicada looked at him, "I don't know. But that makes sense. These first lessons were to get a feel for our powers so we can grow. Holy Everflame."

Cicada sighed. She looked over at Shade and Zoe, "Do you think Shade will really be okay?"

(Does no one care about Zoe??)

(Zoe's awake now.)

(I am confused BUT STILL!)

(Cicada knows/assumes Zoe is fine. Shade almost got choked to death and isn't exactly responding a lot.)

(Cicada knows/assumes Zoe is fine. Shade almost got choked to death and isn't exactly responding a lot.)

(Ohhhhhhhh yeah ok.)

(Yep.)

Zoe sat next to Shade. She was very pale and her hand was still transparent. "What did he do to you." She whispered in a hoarse voice. After that, she wasn't sure if she was able recover.

Cicada walked over to Zoe, "Glad to see your awake."

She opened her mouth about to say something, but then stopped and nodded her head. She felt so shattered on the inside.

"You okay Zoe?" Cicada asked her, "I don't exactly know what happened to you, but you did shout a lot."

"I saw something, no one should ever see." She hardly whispered in a hoarse voice. She looked as if she was in a daze. If you looked closely, you could see the sadness and sorrow and pain.

Cicada nodded. She recognized the pain in Zoe's eyes, "Can I hug you?"

She stiffly nodded and she hugged the girl. Then she broke down. It was too much for her to take. Her heart ached inside like it was about to break. Deaths replayed before her mind behind them was all her failures and fears and horrid sights.

Orion spoke softly, echoing someone from before. "We are being trained. Refuse compliance. It will not be rewarded. Lapdogs get treats, but guard dogs?" Here he pauses for a moment, gives a feral grin not his own. "Well, guard dogs get kills."

"Are you going to help us?" Cicada asked her.

"Hell Yeah"

Jamie sat down, thinking of his family and friends back on HH~43754. He looked around, trying to keep thoughts about Luke, Ryan, Oliver, Elijah, and his sisters out of his head. "This entire situation is quiet as death." He said, dropping his head in his hands.
(Quiet as death is a saying where he's from, it means something really big/unfair or something that leaves a lasting effect)

Orion looks at Jamie almost sadly before replying. "No. No. Here. Here it is loud as death."

Cicada hugged Zoe back, "I got you. It's okay I got you."

~~~

Shade's consciousness faded in and out. Her breathing seemed to quicken as she muttered, "Someone. Anyone. Help us. Please. He's coming and he wants me dead."

Jamie looked up. "That's what the saying means. It's sarcastic, it means something really loud or big or unfair." He put his head back down after.

"Thank you." She whispered and hugged her back.

Orion shakes his head, once again says that it is loud as death. Going over to Shade, he props her up against him. "He isn't here now. It's okay. Wake up. You're safe with me. I've got you. Wake up for me Shade, please. Gotta make sure that you're alright."

Shade jolted awake. Her breathing was labored and she looked at Orion with wide eyes.

With kind eyes he returns her gaze, the warmth of him against her. "Breathe. Easy now. I'm here. He's gone. We'll get your brother back. Now you need to breathe for me, okay?"

Shade nodded. She forced her breathing to become even. She looked down at her hands, "I lost him again. I lost it again. Why? Why does he do this to me?"

Orion looks up at the ceiling and sighs. "Can't answer that. People do things for strange reasons, but after all of this is over, you both can come to the Haven if you wish."

Shade nodded, "That would be great."

Orion's smile is broad. "Anyone is welcome there, especially people with rough pasts. You'll fit right in."

John woke to Sherlock's violin playing. "How the hell did you get in here?" he shouted. Sherlock replied, "The door was unlocked, idiot."

((Wait heck what's happening?))
