Dancing in the moon light

[†Amelia†]

"Dancing in the moonlight
everybodys feeling warm and bright
its such a fine and natural sight
everybodys dancing in the moonlight..."

Amelia glided along the long grass beside the lake. She twirled herself about and skipped majestically. She felt as though she were weightless: as though she was dancing on the moon. In actual fact she was just dancing in the moonlight...

When the petite brunette had been revived and realised that her memory was erased: she felt as though she did not exist, and that she had to relearn everything for her to fit in. Amelia had spent many days roaming the school grounds aimlessly in hope that something would trigger memories...sometimes it worked but more often than not it didn't. It frustrated the pink eyed female no end.

But not anymore...

Her mind set had changed just because of a chance meeting with a new student in the entrance hall. This girl had made her smile, laugh and feel again, when Amelia thought it wasn't possible...

Yet here she was, dancing along the lake's side, admiring the beauty of nature with a new feeling of hope bubbling inside of her. Here she was smiling, laughing, daydreaming about what her future may hold.

Here she was...happy...

ooc: yes I know its sucky, corny and whatever you wanna call it...but I'm in love so sue me

[Carissa]

Ooc: Lol, your post rocked ^.^ Hope you don't mind me joining? Just say the word, and I'm gone I imagne you're getting sick of RPing with me by now ^.~

Bic:

”I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure”

The music blared, but was silent to the unknowing grounds. The song only blared in the ears of the sole person using the MP3 player. A wide dimpled grin was stretched across voluptuous lips as the song went on, reminding the listener of a few short days before.

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

The moonlight was very much welcomed by the masculine brunette as she ran. Wearing a tiny pair of black shorts, a small black sports shirt, that looked an awful lot like a sports bra, and a pair black running shoes, Carissa made her way across the grounds at top pace. Having been restless due to lack of her usual run, Carissa had changed and jogged out of the common room, excited to go running.

Running had always been one of her favorite pass times, and she hadn’t done it in a few weeks, since she learned she was coming here. She ran so gracefully, it looked as if she was merely floating above the ground, not setting either foot down.

Spotting someone in the distance, Carissa slowed down to a brisk jog. As she grew closer, she realized the person was… Dancing? Smiling widely, Carissa slowed down once again. She was now close enough to recognize the person as being a female, but not close enough to see whom it was.

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

Only a few feet away now, Carissa’s grin grew ten times wider. Amelia. Turning off her music, Carissa came to a full stop next to the other girl, “H…h…Hey, A…A… Meli…a…” She breathed out, trying to catch her breath.

Leaning over, she placed her hands on her knees, and drew in a couple of deep breaths, before straightening back up, “So… What brings you… Out here so late?” She asked, once again between breaths. Suddenly she became aware of how she looked, and blushed slightly. Thank god it was dark out. Her hair was pulled up in a ponytail, which had gotten messed whilst running, and her abdomen, legs, arms, face, and neck were all covered in a thin sheen of sweat.

[†Amelia†]

ooc: how could I ask you to delete a post of that quality and length?!

ic:

Lycan senses were marvelous things, and altough Amelia was still currently trying to re-master how to use them, they did make her senses of smell, hearing and sight so much better than the average human's.

So, as she was dancing, Amelia not only heard someone approaching, but smelt them too. Was it Carissa?! Was her mind playing wishful tricks on her? Spinning around on the spot, Amelia stopped dancing and gazed into the darkness stretching before her.

There, among the shadows, lit up by the moon's light, was Carissa running along that lake's edge. A huge beam of a smile spread across Amelia's features, and her eyes twinkled for the first time in a very long while.

Deciding to play it cool (although her heart, pulse and breathing were racing), Amelia stayed where she was and waited for Carissa to come by. As the other brunette got closer, Amelia was able to make out Carissa's clothing, or rather lack of it...short shorts and a black bra....nice!

"Hey Carissa" she spoke, her voice plainly showing how pleased she was to see her new friend again.

"I could ask you the same question!" she teased, not wanting to admit that she hadn't been able to sleep because she was so excited about the feelings she had been having...

OOC: Laura keep it pg-13... i know you

[Carissa]

Ooc: Easy enough, you just say “Crissy, could you please remove your post, because I HATE YOU AND YOU SUCK AT RP-ING!!” …. Or something… XDDD ^.~

Bic:
Grinning, Carissa once again put her hands on her knees, leaning over slightly, still pulling air into her lungs in a rush. Smiling sweetly now, Carissa straightened up, having finally caught her breath, “Well… I was running? I uh… Couldn’t sleep, to much on my mind, I suppose… Besides, I’ve had way to much pent-up energy, had to drain some somehow…”

Reaching behind herself, Carissa brought a foot up and grabbed onto it, pulling her calf against her back, then did the same with her other, “So, really, how come you’re out here so late? Uh, besides dancing in the moonlight, of course… Unless that was the sole purpose of coming out here?” She asked, grinning, now putting an arm behind her head, and pushing on her elbow with the other one.

Separating her feet so they were aligned with her shoulders, she bent in half, bending toward her right leg, touching her toes, then doing the same to her left side.

Once her stretches were done, Carissa plopped down on the ground, stretching her legs out in front of her, and reclining back on her elbows. “Join me?” She asked, patting the ground beside her.

She began to play with the string on her shorts, that was tied in a bow. Soon growing bored with that, she moved her nimble fingers up slightly so she could poke at her abdomen, where the muscles were straining against her skin, having not relaxed yet from her run.

[†Amelia†]

ooc: but I would never say that because it isn't true.

ic:

She's so bendy, so flexible, so toned...sooo...wow Amelia watched, as Carissa did her warm down stretches, a look appeared in her eyes like one that a child in a candy store might get!

Making a conscious effort not to stare, 'Mia averted her gaze out to the lake, and watched as the moon glistened on the gently rippling water.

"Well" she started her explanation, "I have just had too much energy to relax to go to sleep...my mind is constantly buzzing recently" satisfied that this answered Carissa's question, but did not let on the fact that her mind was buzzing about someone inparticular, 'Mia shrugged as if it was no big deal.

Still looking out at the lake, Amelia was surprised to find Carissa laying down on the grass, but was more than happy to accept the brunette's invite, and so sat down in the grass too.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" she asked, her voice dream like. Turning her head slowly, she watched Carissa, awaiting her answer.

[Carissa]

Ooc: Lol, oh, well, y’know, that’s good to know ^.~ Though.. -mutters something about moi Rping skills- -and lack there of-

Bic:
Aware that she was being watched while stretching, Carissa made sure to extend the usual amount of time to wind-down, doing them all painfully slow.

Nodding her head, Carissa smiled slightly, the moonlight shining down made the shadows cast on her face seem to dance, “Makes a lot of sense… It’s always hard to sleep when one has a lot of energy… That’s why I run and stuff before going to bed, it drains your energy, very helpful,” She said, grinning faintly. “You just need to find something that relaxes you,” She stated, nodding her head slightly.

Letting hazel eyes stray, Carissa watched Amelia silently as the taller brunette looked out at the lake. A small smile twitched at her features at the sight. God, times which she wished she had her camera.

Still lazily running her fingers up and down her stomach, Carissa traced the outlines of her abs unconsciously, continuing to stare at the other girl. However, when Amelia spoke, it snapped her out of her trance. Nodding, Carissa didn’t avert her gaze, “T’is truly a beautiful sight indeed,” She agreed, before finally tearing her gaze away from the lycaness and looking out at the lake as Amelia turned to look at her.

[†Amelia†]

Resting her head back on her hands, Amelia felt totally comfy laid in the grass. She smiled, as she looked up at the moon which illuminated the lake so beautifully, and at the stars which twinkled like magical orbs.

A silence fell between the two girls, however it wasn't one of those awkward silences that occur between aquaintances: to Amelia it felt comfy and she felt no need to try and fill it with small talk.

Slowly the minutes passed: 'Mia had been quite content with watching the sky while listening to the rythmic sound of Carissa's breathing. However, the pink eyed female had a lot of energy which she wanted to burn off, so sat up abruptly.

"I'm gonna go for a swim! You can join me...if you want?" and with that 'Mia got to her feet and slid her dress over her shoulders, dropping it to the ground and then stepping out of it.

Walking to the lake's edge in only her white lace panties and bra, Amelia felt a little chilly as a breeze blew through the open area.

Bending her knees, Amelia sprung herself forwards in one graceful leap and dove into the depths of the cool water. Nearly a full minute later, 'Mia resurfaced about a hundred yards out in the lake, flicking her hair back so it wasn't in her face, and treading water so that she wouldn't sink.

"Its a little cold...but its great" she informed her friend.

[Carissa]

As the silence between them expanded, Carissa remained silent, which was odd for her. Usually, when there was silence, she got incredibly nervous, and started to ramble on about stupid, random things, most of which was incoherent. But, she didn’t feel like doing that. Not now. She didn’t mind the silence one bit.

Gasping slightly in surprise as Amelia suddenly sat up, Carissa stared at her silently, waiting to find out what was going on. Suddenly, a grin stretched across her lips, “Swimming!? Yay!” Scrambling to her feet, the slight brunette stopped mid-step, mouth agape, and eyes bulging out in surprise.

Watching as Amelia jumped into the water, wearing nearly nothing, Carissa rubbed her face with her hands slightly, trying to regain her composure. Shaking off her sudden uneasiness, Carissa made her way over to the lakes edge.

Raising her eyebrows slightly at Amelia reappeared on the surface, Carissa felt a goofy grin slip onto her lips, “Great, eh? Well, we’ll see,” She said back, before diving in. Resurfacing quickly, Carissa let out a high-pitched gasp, “It’s cold!” She shrieked, before beginning to swim a little closer to her new friend, “It’s really cold,” She said again, wrapping her arms around herself, and shivering slightly. Her pearly white teeth began to chatter slightly, but she did her best to push that aside.

[†Amelia†]

Grinning from ear to ear, and trying her best to hold back the giggle which was threatening to fall from her lips, Amelia swam over to Carissa, metting her half way.

"Yeah, sorry..it is a tad cold huh? But I figured you wouldn't join me if I said it was freezing...am I right?!" she joked.

"We could get out...or we could swim...or we could huddle together to conserve heat...what do you think?" she asked with a playful smile.

[Carissa]

Chuckling, Carissa shook her head, “O-of c-c-c-course I w-would have s-s-s-s-s-still joined you, I w-wouldn’t have given up the c-c-chance to s-s-swim with you,” She said, teeth still chattering.

Clenching her jaw slightly, to stop the chattering, Carissa tilted her head slightly to the side, thinking, “Well, me being as lesbian as I am, and you being as, well, drop-dead gorgeous as you are… I’m thinking huddling together would be our best bet!” She said, with her own playful smile.

Beginning to swim around in circles, Carissa slowly started to warm up, “Ah, I’m thinking huddling up would be less of a wise decision though, so, I’ll juts warm myself up by swimmmmming,”

[†Amelia†]

Amelia felt like a fool: for the past few days she had spent the whole time grinning like an clown on happy pills....and now was no different. A huge smile plastered to her face, the pink eyed girl had to cover her mouth as she started to giggle at Carissa's attempt to talk with chattering teeth!

"I'm sorry!" she said, her eyes sparkling in the moon light. A lump formed in her throat, and her stomach jumped with excitement when Carissa said they should huddle together...but it soon passed when Carissa then decided against the idea.

"Awww...you sure...you look frozen! And I don't want a Carissa Ice Cube!" she joked.

why do I want to huddle with her...I want to be close to her...do I like her? 'Mia thought to herself, as she tilted her head to watch Carissa swimming in circles.

[Carissa]

Scowling playfully as Amelia began to laugh at her, Carissa feigned hurt, “Ouch, come on now, must you laugh at my PAIN?” She asked, overly dramatic, for the fun of it.

Raising her eyebrows playfully, Carissa let an odd smile slip on her lips, “A Carissa ice cube? Hmm… That certainly wouldn’t be fun…! I mean… That’d be mighty cold…” Suddenly stopping her circles, Carissa swam over to Amelia, and huddled in close to the other girl.

Smiling slightly, Carissa teeth began to chatter once again, and her face flushed, “Well, this better work, because, I mean… What sort of girl would I be if I huddled close to another girl, to get warm, and didn’t get warm?” Stopping midway through her ramble, Carissa’s eyes bulged once again, remembering how little they were both wearing, when their legs brushed against each other.

Sputtering slightly, Carissa felt an awkward smile appear on her lips, “Uhm… Definitely getting warmer…” She said weakly.

[†Amelia†]

Huddling together whilst treading water so that you didn't sink wasn't exactly easy...and so 'Mia wasn't surprised then they kept bumping and brushing agsint eachother. However, even though it wasn't a surprise, Amelia still let out little nervous giggles each time she felt some part of Carissa touch her.

"This isn't as easy as I thought it'd be! Maybe if you hold onto me and we kick at the same time or...we could just give up and go for the swim?!" she asked: giving Carissa the choice.

As the moon light shone down upon them, 'Mia was able to make out Carissa's blurred but perfect figure floating in the water, she suddenly felt her cheeks go hot with blushing as she noticed just how small Carissa's black sports clothes were!

[Carissa]

Rising eyebrows slightly, Carissa smiled vaguely, before swooping two well-muscled arms around the other girl, crashing their bodies together, trying to stay afloat. Sense both were wearing next to nothing, skin pressed firmly against skin.

Suddenly feeling ‘uncomfortable’ Carissa detangled herself from Amelia, an awkward smile on her lips once again, “Uh, I think it would just be easier if we swam around?” She said, trying to cover up the real reason she had suddenly moved away from the other brunette.

Tilting herself backwards, Carissa began to float on the surface of the water, shivers going up and down her spine every so often, but she certainly wasn’t cold anymore.
