ooc: Invite Only.
It was a brisk autumn evening that Jesika had choosen for one of her occassional walks through the grounds of the school. The moon hung in the velvetly sky and casted patches of light through dusty clouds upon the little graveyard below. Worn tombstones dotted the interior ground of the spiraling iron fence, and Jesika wondered somberly up to the eery site.
Placing a delicate hand on the cold iron bars of the gate, she pushed hard on it until it swung open with a screech. Jumping slightly at the sound, Jess bit her lip and took a ginger step.
Drapped in her usual school robes and cloak, she trasped among the graves and over to a large willow tree near the edge of the property. Approaching it solemnly, she stretched her hand out and graced the rough bark with her fingers.
"If it bleeds, I can kill it. It's only a matter of time though, isn't it?"
Leaning softly against the huge tree, Jesika watched the willow's long 'hair' dance in the gentle, but chilling night breeze.

Locks of honey blonde hair were disturbed as the wind picked up and wove through the lush limbs of the sage willow tree. The slender but muscular frame of a young man, dressed in tattered clothes, rested heavily in the nature-made cradle of wood and leaves.
After spending several uncomfortable nights in the brittle willow tree, Alex had his share of scraps and pains, yet he was once again in a large crook of the tree this very night. Reclining against the crackled bark, he heard the slight russel of foot steps through the un-mowed grass of the graveyard. Kneeding the sleep from his eyes, he leaned over the giant forked branch and peered down to find a lovely young lady at the base of the tree. Smiling with cleverness, he crouched down and began slowly scaling the tree.
Just then, the girl suddenly spoke and Alex froze in attempt to her what she said above the rapid pound of his heart.
"If it bleeds, I can kill it. It's only a matter of time though, isn't it?" she said in a cold voice.
A dark one, aye? I like my girls that way. Down I go!
Alex dropped from the tree and landed right in front the beautiful brown haired girl. Smiling childishly he burst with enthusiasum.
"Hello there miss, you're looking lo--"
Those green eyes. That slender figure. Those silky, brown locks. His heart pounded loudly in his ears. Could it be?
"Jesika!? What the hell are you doing here!?"
Alex dove at her and coiled his arms around her warmly. It seemed like ages since he last saw his dear sister. Hiding a tear of joy he pulled from her slightly to inspect her emerald irises. Gracing her cheek with his hand, he gazed at her happily.
"You must tell me what has been going on. I've been in a fix just trying to get a hold of Joey! You won't believe what I've been through!"

After having the literal breath scared from her, Alex's kind and now very masculine face became level with hers. Blinking firmly for a moment to besure it wasn't some sort of illusion, Alex rattled off like he always did. It was so great to see her brother well. He had grown alot since she last saw him. Jesika's smile perked as she welcomed her brothers hug and took in all that he had to saw. A little flustered out of surprise, Jesika spoke.
"Dearest brother...I...it's great to see you again! But, why are you here, and why are you looking for Joseph? Is something wrong?"
She spurted all at once. Calming herself down for a moment, Jesika rested her hands on Alex's shoulders, hoping to get an informative word from him.

"Well..father is ill, and our mother is worried. I came here to relay the the news to you and Joey, but I can't seem to find his sorry ass."
Alex shrugged lazily and plucked a reed from the moist ground. Sighing heavily he looked up from the piece of nature in his hand.
"We really need to find him, Jess. Do you remember what father wanted from him? I mean, if he doesn't find a bride now, he'll never become the rightful heir to father's will."
Alex's silver eyes blinked with serious innocence. Never had he felt so compelled by his father's pleas. Now, he was on this make-shift quest, to find his brother and sternly 'suggest' he get hitched. Immediately.

Quite a problem. Jesika remembered hearing of the severity of Joey's marriage before, but she hadn't seen it as priority before this. Now, father was nearing his grave, and Alex seemed burdened with the news he had to deliver. Giving her young brother a warm hug, Jesika spoke in a comforting voice.
"Alex, we'll find him. Even though I hadn't made contact with him in several months, I'm sure that the other vampires in the caves will know something about his location."
