Star of Bad Luck *

[LexiXander]

{(Reserved for DD :3)}

Auel hadn’t had very many strokes of good luck since his brother’s death. And tonight, if he were lucky, then it would be on his side and not let him get caught in the East Tower. It was restricted, especially after hours like at this very moment, but he was doing a paper for his astronomy class (one of the many extra classes characteristic to the Purificio house) and his streak of black luck had run him the only class member not to get supervised time in the Tower. It was now left up to him to practice his skills in stealth as well as finish an essay.

He sat in one of the large window seats, a telescope propped up next to him and protruding from the custom made window inside the larger pane. One leg limply hung off the side of the seat, it’s match bent up and supporting his notes carefully for writing down observations. Truth be told, he’d let his guard down for the moment, too absorbed in one of his favorite topics. Not a smart move in a school full of assassins just waiting to play cruel and harmful tricks on the quiet, older looking teen.

The East Tower.... What could he really say about it other then it was the best place to meet...no one.....no one at all. Secluded....well, usually. Sure there are few people that entered it to delve in the mysterious secrets hidden in the dusted, and slightly torn books. Makai had often been that person so it wasn\'t surprising that he ended up going up to \'borrow\' a few more books. He was an Apprentice so he had the right to have a key to the door but then again....keys are for people who need doors.

His body merely a ghostly form of its former self, it appearing pale and fleeting at times whenever he moved, his hair that was free from its ribbon seemed like a ghostly curtain of blonde and sea green as he glided through the halls without a sound towards the East Tower. When he reached it, he traveled along the outside walls, astral fingers appearing to brush the moist stone before he shoved forward. He slipped through the wall like it wasn\'t there and without a sound.

Makai immediately noticed someone else there and that someone seemed to be carelessly not paying attention. If anyone could have seen Makai\'s face they would have compared it to a cat finding a mouse to play with. He could purr, if he had the vocals for that, that is. The solemn green of his eyes sharpened with held-back amusement as he glided over to the young man working. He couldn\'t really get a good face of the man unless he wanted to be noticed. Ah well.

He walked up until he was at the back of the young man and slowly wrapped his arms around the other\'s shoulder before breathing a ghostly, echoing breath into the other\'s ears, "The stars are lovely tonight. Watch them with me for eternity. Together."

[LexiXander]

Auel stiffened when he felt a cold pair of arms encircle his collarbone and shoulders. His quills incredibly sharp tip was ready to be stabbed in the closest vital organ or pressure point, but doing that without knowledge of who was there was certainly not a good idea.

A shiver wracked up his spine as a seductive voice whispered in his ear, his incubi blood willing to take the bait, but the more potent humans blood in his veins won over. His voice spoke clearly, whispering back, “They are, I agree, but I’m afraid eternity will have to wait, and so will you.” ‘I have a paper due.’ His voice did not have to be altered in the slightest for it to have the consistency of warm, melting chocolate, along with it’s sensuality. Not only was his voice unique but also his unspoken words were as clear as if they’d been given to the air.

[DivineDarkness]

His eyes widened, large green orbs staring at the thick mane of brown hair in surprise. Makai nearly pouted but instead his lips firmed into a frown. It wasn\'t any fun if they weren\'t disturbed at all. Maybe he just wasn\'t very good at playing the haunting ghost. The soft purr of the other\'s voice would have made him shiver were he not in his astral form. "No fun...." He muttered before pulling back, his arms unraveling from the other\'s shoulders as he floated backwards. His feet didn\'t touch the ground and if they did, they slipped through the boards and bobbed back up.

"Hmmm....A student?" Makai questioned before staring at the back with interest, and a light smile on his face. He kicked his leg to the side, steering his body to flip upside down, his hair falling down until it brushed the floor. "Of course considering you are doing a paper." He said with a soft, amused laugh.

[LexiXander]

Auel settled back once the arms had left his body free of inhibitation. That voice had been rather tempting, as well as the touch. It only got harder to control his incubi blood the longer he went without that source of energy. However, ghostly forms weren’t exactly the best people to have sex with, especially considering they weren’t entirely there.  

The two different orbs glanced from the corner of his eye at the interesting intruder. Most would be frightened but Auel simply stared as he turned himself entirely the wrong way down. “Yes. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t run off and tell people I’m here.” ‘If you wouldn’t mind.’ He still had at least a fourth of his essay left and it was due next week. (To him this was doing things the last minute, seeing as the project had been given a week ago now.)

[DivineDarkness]

Makai shrugged at the other\'s request before his body seemed to firm and fill out, the colors of his skin and clothing darkening as he released his astral form and his body became human once more. He flexed his fingers slowly, making sure  he had all the feeling back into them before glancing back up at the other. "Sure, sure. No problem. Can\'t say I didn\'t do this when I was a student either." He practically hummed out with a grin before strolling over to a wall filled with the books that made a fossil look new.

"Take your time." He said, his hand lifting to finger a book before moving to the next one. "Tu...tu..tu...tu...tu...ah." After passing the several books, he withdrew on from the cradle of the bookcase before he jumped up and using the power of spirit, kept himself levitating as he eyed another row of books. He quickly found the second book to the series and let himself touch the floor once more.

He quickly crossed the room and plopped down on the dusted floor, books cradled his arms. Makai\'s eyes ran over the cover, \'The Plane with No Name\'. It wasn\'t really that interesting of a title but he would continue his investigation until he was satisfied. He opened the book and began flipping through the pages.

[LexiXander]

Auel wasn almost never surprised by things, and generally speaking he didn’t even show all that much emotion. However, this was one exception, but most wouldn’t really realize the privilege they were given as his eyebrows rose significantly when the specter suddenly became quite the solid figure.

The Asian student was completely silent as the other made his way around the cracked and sagging bookshelves. His two toned eyes followed and observed, the gears turning rapidly in his head to try and figure out what it was the other drew his lineage from. Usually he was perfectly fine at figure these things out, but for once he didn’t have a species like this in his vast store of knowledge. His voice kept its sensual tone, seeing as it wasn’t something he could ever get rid of, and asked a question he almost always knew the answer to. “Excuse me, but would you mind my asking what…you are?” The answer was bound to interest him very much.

[DivineDarkness]

Makai felt eyes on him which meant the other person was staring at him or was being extremely paranoid this evening. He decided to ignore both options and flipped another page of his book, eyes roaming over the words intently. “Excuse me, but would you mind my asking what…you are?” The flutter of the voice brushing through his ears, had his solemn, green eyes lifting from the pages, curiously. They soon sparked, a laugh shining in them as he watched the other as much as the other had been watching him.

"Not surprised you asked! I am the only one of my kind that inhabits this place." He said with a pause, his bottom lip out in a thoughtful pout before giving a light shrug and steadying his eyes back on the other\'s.

"I am Bergsra. B-E-R-G-S-R-A. Not a human, not a spirit, yet both. A mystery." Makai laughed, it almost being bitter before he smiled real big at the other. "By the way, am I interesting to watch? Don\'t worry. I understand. I know I am extremely attractive." He said jokingly with a over-done flip of his golden-blonde, and sea green hair.

[LexiXander]

Auel showed nothing but interest as he listened carefully, storing the information in his vast encyclopedia of a mind. He had mixed feelings about not know anything of these “Bergsra”, he was excited (though you couldn’t tell) to be gaining knew knowledge, but at the same time he was disappointed that he didn’t.

The younger’s eyebrows turned down in mock confusion, though it was more for spite then anything else. It was surprising how emotionally involved he was right now, perhaps he just wasn’t completely with it after having his brain stuck in the paper for so long, and he wasn’t even using his skills in unspoken speech! “You are, but attractiveness isn’t why I’m starring at you.” He didn’t want to fuel any oversized egos, which is what this person seemed to have.

[DivineDarkness]

He blinked for several moments at the others word before snickering, lips pulling back into a grin. "That so?" Makai finally closed the book that his attention had been drawn from before slowly lifting himself from the floor. He wasn\'t sure how to feel on the thought of being stared at because of his particular species. Uncomfortable? Then again, though he would NEVER admit it, he was nervous when ANYONE stared at him.

Makai liked being alone most of the time and never thought himself as good looking, he just liked boasting his own confidence. He chuckled and shrugged before pulling out a golden ribbon from his pocket and beginning to gather his hair up so it can be in a ponytail. "My name is Makai. I think it is weird for you to know what kind of creature I am without even knowing my name, so there you go."

He tightened the ribbon with a jerk of his hands before his eyes settled on the other\'s face. "What\'s your name or do you want me to call you \'Mr. Student\', Mr. Student?"

[LexiXander]

The Asian student watched as the blond tresses were gathered and pulled into a neat little ponytail on the back of the other’s head. He didn’t respond to the bergsra’s first two statements, only speaking when it came to the last. “My name is Auel.” He gave a courteous nod to his companion and flipped the cover of his notebook closed on his lap, not letting it distract him for that would be impolite.

He looked up at the one standing above him, and this unfortunately moved his bangs far enough to the side that his incredibly odd iris was shown clearly. Auel was almost always asked about it when seen, if he wasn’t then they were generally too scared to open their mouth.

[DivineDarkness]

"Auel?" He tired the name out on his lips, his tongue curling it oddly before flattening once more. Makai pulled a fist thoughtfully up to his chin as he said the name again before he was satisfied that he had said it correctly once more. Makai smiled brightly at the other before catching the sight of startling white-silver that reminded him if Italian, silvered thistle. He took a step forward, then several more that seemed more like gliding then walking.

Makai was instantly drawn to the fascinating orb, getting so close that he was pretty much a nose from Auel\'s face. "Such a pretty eye..." He whispered in fascination before smiling and lifting his fingers to brush more of the other\'s hair from his face to see it more clearly. "You shouldn\'t cover it so!" He said with a light scold, not noticing how very rude he was being by granting himself permission to touch the other.

Then again, Makai had never been one for person space when he is truly fascinated with something.

[LexiXander]

As Makai came closer, Auel moved back, inching further in the window seat until his back and head were pressed firmly up against the window. Something that would please the other but was just natural to the brunette was the widening of his eyes as the other closed distance between them, starring intently at his silvery orb.

He was frozen like a statue, shivering when a cool hand stroked his cheek and moved the hair from his eyesight. To be honest he was embarrassed but rather flattered. Most people called him a freak for having two different eyes because even the odd drow or demon didn’t have different eyes, at least not like his. “Ah,” He chocked out, “Thank you…” The Asian was so unsure of what to do, for some reason this man just kept flummoxing him.

[DivineDarkness]

He continued staring until he noticed the man\'s slight pause in words, he was about to question what was wrong but quickly noticed that himself. Makai was sure this was uncomfortable for the other but he was only able to give Auel a apologetic yet loopy smile before pulling back a bit more, to give the other room. "I really like your eye. Tell me what exactly are you? I think you should satisfy my curiosity since I satisfied yours." He said with a wide, amused grin.

[LexiXander]

Auel absolutely hated telling people what he was, it was so annoying. They always starred at him with gapping mouths and made him feel awkward and uncomfortable before declaring him some disgusting piece of flesh that shouldn’t have a life in it. He would be a half incubus if he weren’t a twin and be able to pass it off as demon blood if it weren’t for the fact that he only had one-fourth incubi in him, though a potent one-fourth it was.

His expression turned into a hesitant frown, shrinking in on his tall self a bit and deciding whether he should let the other know. Auel got the feeling it would be dragged out of him either way so he might as well get it over with. He spoke quietly, in a low whisper, “I’m part incubi…”
