Needed: a book to remember...

[†Amelia†]

"Finally" called an exasperated voice, it echoed down the long and empty corridor, which was almost in complete darkness except for the several candles which flickered from their positions on the wall.

The voice belonged to none other than the pink eyed, brunette lycan; Amelia. 'Mia had decided earlier that day to check out the school's library for spell books that could hopefully bring back her memory, or at least speed the process of re-remembering along. She had decided to go in the late evening so the library would be empty and she would be able to concentrate.

However, this hadn't been a very good idea because the brunette could not remember where the library was located. And so 'Mia had spent nearly a full hour roaming the deserted corridors in hope of just stumbling across it. She had become most frustrated during this time, almost to the point of tears: the building was so large, and several times Amelia had wondered whether she was walking in circles...

But! She'd finally found it! As she sped up her walking pace down the corridor towards the library, a few of the witches and wizards, in the pictures that lined the walls, woke up and started to throw rude remarks at her, complaining about her lack of manners... 'Mia just ignored them and ran faster, bursting into the library which was in complete darkness...

Now creeping as quietly as she could, the brunette's pink eyes quickly adjusted to her near black surroundings-lycan senses were very useful indeed. Fumbling in her long black over cloak pocket, 'Mia pulled out her wand. She'd found it in the bottom of her trunk a few days ago...obviously being a lycan she'd previously decided that she no longer needed magic...but the brunette had changed her attitude dramatically...after all magic was the one thing that had given her a second shot at life...Amelia wanted to live everything to the full, and magic was a part of her just as much as being a lycan was.

Tapping the tip of her wand to her forehead, ‘Mia scolded herself for not remembering the simple spell to produce light: “Think, think!” suddenly it came to her, and she called it out with a voice full of glee:

“Lumos!”

Instantly a light formed at the tip of her wand and spread out filling the near vicinity, and enabling Amelia to get a good look at her surroundings. “Wow” she muttered, totally amazed at the sheer volume of books that filled the shelves. Stepping up to the closest stack of books, Amelia started to scan the titles of the books…

“Hmmmm… ‘Advanced dark creatures’, ‘Creatures of the dark’, ‘Dark creatures’, ‘Mythical creatures’… Hmmm…I guess this isn’t the section I need…” she told herself, pulling a pouty face, and turning to face the stack of books behind her. These books appeared to be about the history of magic, the next row of books were about divination….

“Geez! This was a waste of time…I’m never going to find the book I need in all of these!” she complained, feeling defeated and like she’d wasted so much time and effort. Sitting down on the top of a table, which was scattered with open books that appeared to be in use by somebody, Amelia started to swing her legs furiously backwards and forwards as she thought…

Ohhhhh…I so want…no…I NEED this spell… How am I meant to know who I am if I don’t know my past? I have gotta figure out a way to get my memory back… Hmmm…I wish I knew where the books are kept that would help me…

The brunette was so lost in her own train of thought that she didn’t even notice the person walking up behind her…

ooc: ANYONE please fell free to join this thread...I think its about time that I start to have Amelia interact with more MH peoples!

[Molly, Max & Michelle Voltaire]

Maddy woke up in the library. She fell asleep on the job!!!!

She heard a noise behind her desk, intrested she went to take a look. She saw a frustrated brunett girl. "Excuse me... what are you doing here?"

[†Amelia†]

Startled, at hearing a girl's voice, Amelia snapped back to reality, and spun around to see a dark haired female.

"Erm...I...I was looking for a book" she stammered, then feeling instantly stupid at stating the obvious: why else would she be in the library!?!

"Sorry if I disturbed you..."

[Kailyn]

Boredom and curiosity, two powerful emotions that could drive even a demoness to do unusual things. Ever since witnessing the little 'episode' with the two lycans, Roan, and Isaac, the library had become one of her favored haunts, no matter the time. It was a place where she could roam and watch, both humans and creatures alike, remaining behind the shelves, or coming out to socialize as the mood struck.

Voices drifted by, along with scents, engaging her interest. Today the mood to socialize struck. Tucking back a strand of ivory, she wound her way around shelves, identifying the scents as that of a human and a lycaness. This should be interesting.

"Looking for a book?" a voice called out, seeming to echo through both girls' minds. Soft and lilting, it floated out from behind a near by shelf, followed by yet another person for their little group. Long legs carried her to wards them, caramel heels clicking pleasantly against marble, hips swaying gently. Garbed in a flowing gown of beige silk, topped with corset and lacy gloves, the woman appeared to have stepped out of a renaissance book.

"Just a book..? Are you sure that's all you're looking for?" she asked mildly, coffee colored eyes scanning briefly over the human before coming to rest on the lycaness. Dulled eyes flashed amber, taking on their old brilliance, and those fiery orbs stared hard at the brunette. Stared at her, into her.

A mirthless smile curled her lips as she probed the girl's mind, not bothering to keep her penetration hidden, not caring if she was violating her privacy. Her answers are there.. she thought ..deep in the recesses of her mind, all she has to do is open the door. Lifting a long, tapered finger, she ran it over the lycan's cheek, awaiting her answer.

[†Amelia†]

Before the other girl had a chance to reply to Amelia, the brunette heard someone else... This being, however, was not human but a demon... Scolding herself for being too engrossed in her own matters to have not noticed the human and the Demon Amelia shifted her gaze and fixed it upon the shelf where she could now sense the other female.

Wondering whether she should prepare herself to fight or flee, 'Mia didn't have chance to do either as the pale blond haired female appeared in sight, walking gracefully over to her. It turned out that she had been listening to Amelia-but for how long?

"Er...yes..." she stammered in reply to the demoness' question, feeling slightly uneasy as the blond female touched her face "I am looking for a book to help me..." she tried to continue, but had to stop as she was feeling quite strange, almost as if those coffee coloured eyes were looking straight into her.

"...but I couldn't find it..." she forced herself to admit...trying to distract herself from the odd tingling feeling she had buzzing in her eyes and rushing around her head.

what is she looking for? thought 'Mia, as she stared deeply into the coffee orbs before her-they were so hypnotic...Amelia knew she should look away because the demon was doing somehting...but she couldn't drag her eyes away...

[jaimehalliwell]

Jaime walks in not knowing that Amelia is there. Just sits down and starts reading a book about two sisters who are very close. She gets a tear in her eye remember her older sister Amelia. " I can't stop think about her why is that. I miss her so much." Jaime puts her head down and starts to cry. She remembers all the fun they had together.

[Kailyn]

You don't need a book.. she sent, still ignoring the human. Tapping her unpainted nail against the girl's temple, she delved deeper into her mind, forcing memories to the surface. Just flashes of faces, not enough to give out the information sought, just enough to leave the lycan wanting to remember more.

It must be difficult.. not remembering.. have you ever considered you might be better off not knowing? she asked, her telepathic voice soft and boardering on friendly. Trailing her finger from temple to throat, she laid it against the vein at the base of her throat, feeling it pulse with life. A fleeting temptation to slice through the thin skin rushed through her; temptation to feel the warm blood flow over her fingers.

Pulling her hand back, she walked a few steps away, eyes travelling towards the human girl. Allowing Amelia to have a few moments to think about the flashes and the faces, she arched a brow and said "Shouldn't you be safely tucked in bed? It's not very smart to be out this late.. you never know who, or what, you could run into."

[†Amelia†]

"I don't need a book? But...I do I've tried getting them bac---" Amelia started to complain, but as she did so 'Mia was cut off by a wave of images that appeared in her mind...flowing and crashing upon her like a wave.

It was like Kailyn held the key to the many locked doors in her minds...the doors which kept her from knowing her past...

The glimpse was short...and consisted mainly of faces...Her Mom and Dad, her Siblings, her Grams, her childhood friends...Sealla, Faith, Rayne, Rogue...Kage...Alissa...Cealla... hundreds of faces flooded her in a matter or only seconds, leaving the overly slender brunette feeling exhausted.

As The demon stepped away, the images ceased...and 'Mia raised her hands to her temples, massaging them in hope of relieving the headache which had sprung upon her.

Finally, Amelia dared to reopen her eyes, squinting, due to her headache, she set her weary gaze upon Kailyn again. "How did you do that?" she demanded, although her voice sounded weak and not at all threatening-just extremely curious.

"Of course I want to know my past...can you help me...you made me see those people..." she insisted, suddenly finding another burst of energy and forgetting all about the headache which pounded within her skull.

Jumping to her feet, she rushed over to Kailyn's side and grabbed hold of her hand, pulling on the other female slightly in hope that those coffee orbs would focus on her again.

"Please?"

[jaimehalliwell]

Jaime heard a female's voice that sounded like her sister. Jaime thought "Nah it couldn't be" So she just ignored the others talking. But she couldn't get it out of her head. That voice it sounded like Amelia. Maybe she should go see so she gets up and goes over and sees it was Amelia."OMG Amelia it is you I thought you were dead" Jaime was so happy to see her older sister that she hugged. she could tell something wasn't right. "Amelia do you know me?" Jaime asked. " I am your little sister Jaime" she told her.

[Molly, Max & Michelle Voltaire]

"I-i can help!" Maddy piped in. "I work here... what book do you need?"

[Ashlle G. Rainier]

Ashlle was coming to the library to get a book to entertain her while she looked after the patients in the Hospital Wing. When she got near the Library her Hunter Senses began to tingle. Flattening herself against the door that was closed she peaked in to the other opened door like a spy.

Inside the Library was a Demon, two Humans and a Lycaness. and the funniest thing about it was -of the three of them- Ashlle knew the Lyvcaness. It was her old friend Amelia, whom had disappeared from Ashlle's 'Friend Radar' some time ago. At least now she had a clue what had happened to her.

Ashlle decided since Amelia was there that it might be safe to enter the room openly. She arranged herself behind the door and then walked in as if she had just come down the corridor.
"Hello," she said calmly betraying no emotion. "You're all up late. Is something wrong?"

[†Amelia†]

ooc: wooo ashlle posted! -glomps her- I am watching thread...just want Kailyn to post before I reply...-huggles all peoples-

[Jaime Halliwell]

Jaime was hoping that Amelia would remember her.

[Kailyn]

"Help you? Why would I want to do that?" she said, arching a brow. Moving her gaze from the Amelia's pleading pink gaze, to the hand restraining her. Easily disentangling herself from the lycan's grasp, she swung her eyes to the newest addition to their little group.

"What a wonderful little support group you've got here." she said sarcasticly, walking towards a row of books. Running a finger over the spines, she contemplated the lycan's plea for aid. She could do it. It'd be an easy task to prod the memories forth from the back of her mind, though possibly a bit painful.

But why would she do it? She had allowed the other girl, Roan, to leave in the arms of the faery, instead of keeping her as a pet. But now there were humans here. No matter how well trained, they wouldn't be able to escape her, especially if she had the lycan's help. Turning back toward Amelia, she stated "If I help you, you have to do something for me."

[†Amelia†]

It was getting quite crowded in the library now, and 'Mia found herself wishing that she had come a few hours later...maybe then her plan to have found the library empty would have been more successful.

When the slightly smaller brunette rushed up and wrapped her arms around her, hugging her, 'Mia looked totally bewildered and uncomfortable. Pulling away she looked the girl (Jaime) up and down. "Sorry...who are you?" she asked, feeling guilty because it looked as though this girl was happy to see 'Mia, and she couldn't believe that she wouldn't remember her sister.

Her gaze then suddenly fixed upon the latest newcomer (Ashlle). And she felt her heart sink: were they going to get into trouble? The girl seemed quite keen to know what they were all doing and spoke in an authoritive, demanding tone.

However, Amelia's attention was quickly snatched back by the demoness who spoke to her again.

"Please...help me...help me because it's awful not to know who you are...help me because...you can?" she begged.

Her hopes now raised beyond belief, her heart pounding, her breathing eractic, 'Mia stared right at Kailyn "You'll help me?...What can I do for you?! Anything...please...!"
