There was something to be said about a boy who could hear voices, but the moment that curly-haired brunette turned around, he saw something that would label him as crazy. Before him stood a tall, remarkably beautiful woman. She came from nowhere, but the touch of her finger made him know she was somewhat materialized, if not just in his mind altogether. Steven took a few wobbly steps back and pressed against the other end of the bathroom wall, the cool tile sending child up his spine, along with other things. The way she spoke was like nothing he had ever heard. It was like he was hearing it on different frequencies, mixing together to make a melody. He'd describe it as a siren, but she didn't feel or look like she was going to eat him. So, Steven simply swallowed back the sudden fear and registered what she said.

"A p-problem?" He called out with a dry throat. This woman was intimidating, but not... mean-looking. She just looked regal. He couldn't stop looking at her. Why was she so tall? 'Hardly the thing to be thinking about.' He thought to himself. He inhaled and took a deep breath, straightening his posture and relaxing. There was never a need to panic in a situation, that's what his dad told him. Be calm, understand his surroundings, adapt. That's how you survive. "What do you mean I belong to you."

Yuuko was not at all surprised to see his reaction to her. This boy seemed flustered, but she couldn't very well blame him for that. Seeing a magical being appear before you can be a little overwhelming. When he backed away to the wall. She simply approached him. "Yes there is some one who wants to spread chaos and destruction among the world and we are going to stop them",she explained not giving him that good of an answer, but clear enough. It seemed the boy was starting to settle and calm himself down. "You belong to me just as I belong to you", she stated right before lifting his hand up. "You see this ring...It contains me in it...and destiny has bound it you...which makes us a pair until you may free me", her lips seemed to grasp each word before releasing it. When she gazed at the ear cuff. Those stones. That ancient managed to still lingered on them. "Where did you get this", she asked gazing at it peculiar. It couldn't be what she thought it was...could it?

Steven held up the hand with the ring, and suddenly understood why it was he could never take it off. He didn't question being bound, that part made sense to him. The part that didn't make sense was the whole 'stopping the world from destruction' thing. What exactly did she expect him to do? He was about to question this whole quest thing, until he caught her looking at his ear cuff. When inquired about it, he touched it. "I received it from an old man a long time ago... he said it would link me to my destiny..." Steven pulled his hand back to his chest. "Did he mean you....?" That was the only reasonable explanation he could think of. It only hurt right before he met her, but for some reason it wasn't hurting now.

Jessie watched as the guy spoke and took notice of how the room started to change. The lights were already off simply because the sun shined so brightly in the room that it acted as a light. He looked around him briefly seeing that the shadows blocked most of the light in the room and seemed like they were stretching towards where Jess stood. He gave a disgusted look towards Darren, "Trapped inside it how? I don't get any of this shit, it's just a stupid ring isn't it?" he asked then thought for a minute. "I knew I should have just tossed it away, putting this on my finger was the stupidest decision I ever made." he said before sighing and looking down at his hand then back up at Darren. The shadows couldn't really be seen, but Jess knew that they were closing in on him. The soft, but weird feeling the shadow gave Jessie was weird and awkward. He scoffed and walked over to the light switch then flicked it on, which made all of the shadows disappear. So the strange man was real? Whatever type of power he had performed proved that he was in fact real and Jessie wasn't just going psycho. He could hear the frustrated sound from Chrissy followed by a yell of his name and her telling him to come help. He looked towards the way he entered then back up at Darren, "What can you show me that proves that all of this is real?" he asked. As he waited for a response, Chrissy yelled a second time more sternly to come back and help her out. He sighed and went out there to greet her before taking out orders. The last one he had to deliver out was a cup of tea, which was always hot and decorated with a few extra items. He placed the cup of tea on a small tray with a white coaster sitting right under the mug. "Rose hip tea for you." he said and placed it down before sitting a spoon on the tray as well. "Anything else you would like to order?" he asked looking at the female. There was something about her that he couldn't quite put his finger on, but his memory was forcing it's way through the back of his mind. Just as he was about to give up on trying to give the face a legit name, it hit him. He stared at her for a few moments just to make sure his thoughts were right before, "Laceyanna..?" he guessed, but was most certainly confident in his answer.​

Classes. Just what she needed to start the day off. The dark haired female let out a sigh, giggling to herself a little bit. At least, she wasn't particularly bad in her academics; she'd say that her parents would kill her, but of course, they couldn't. Well, in any case... She might as well not be tardy. Chloe probably had already went to classes, and Priscilla would probably be late for her first class. She had already been late for math once, and it killed her on the inside. From this, it was obvious that she was the type of person who couldn't stand being late, very punctual.

"Lets see now... The bell will probably ring soon.." The girl scrambled up the stairs, and she probably wasn't the most athletic of the bunch... But she was excelling at her academics, so that makes up for her physical status. It was oh so tiring to get up the stairs, and it didn't help how her class was on the other side of the hall on the top floor. Just her luck. Maybe, she could possibly make it right when the bell rings, but she better be fast. It's times like these where her magic could actually help her for once, instead of shape shifting being the only ability to mainly uses. There was also the constellation stuff, but she could barely use it inside a building, and it was most effective in the night time anyways. Just wonderful.

After a couple of moments, the teenager finally got up the stairs, pausing to catch her breath, before dashing through the halls again. There wasn't much of a crowd, as other people were already in class. Though, some who looked out their doors found the petite girl running down with her backpack bouncing up and down, some, snickering. Priscilla tried not to pay much mind to that, even though she held in the urge to utterly kick their arses. She finally reached her classroom, slumping into her seat as the bell rang. Just then, the teacher walked in with her binder, and Priscilla let out a relieved, and long, sigh. Some people whispered, but she chose to ignore them.

She was far too busy trying to catch her breath is all.

And so, classes begun.

Juniper's vibrant blue hues glanced to her side and she noticed a dark colored man standing idly by an open classroom a little down the hallway. When she saw that he was staring at her eyes darted away from his direction to look at the lady at the front desk who telling her about where she needed to go. She could feel her cheeks warming as a light shade of pink creeps unto her pale complexion. The young woman wasn't used to having handsome men gawk at her, but she relaxed when she sees him scurry away. The blush fades as Juniper passes the sign in desk and makes a right from the front lobby. Not shortly after she comes to a halt just outside the guidance office where she will be working for a short period of time.

Needless to say, her next on coming hours were not entirely boring. She did have a few students come in and speak with her. Nothing overly serious, as she was just shadowing an actual counselor at the high school. However her mind would wander back to the man whom she saw earlier. He had this strange feel about him, something she couldn't necessarily put her finger one. It just seemed a little...brighter? Whatever it was, it felt as if it was something she didn't have. Eventually Juniper found herself longing for it. Unfortunately, just because you yearn for something, doesn't mean than it is good for you, and she also found herself wary of the man. In the end Juniper felt nothing short of conflicted.

Finally it was time for her lunch break. She knew she wouldn't necessarily found of the cafeteria food here at the high school, but that didn't stop the wave of nostalgia that washed over her as she entered the large open space. Juniper had only just graduated from this high school only a couple of years ago. The memories of eating lunch with friends here came flooding as she scans over each of the aligned rows of tables. It felt almost bittersweet. A dull rumble from her stomach quickly brought Juniper back to reality, and pushing her thoughts aside she moved into the teacher's lounge where she will be eating her packed lunch.

Yuuko listened to his explanation. That man. Tie him to his destiny. No it wasn't to her. It was to the other one. "No he did not mean me he meant the other chosen", she said quiet surprised. Does this mean he found his chosen one too? Oh dear this was terrible. Darkness and shadows that phantom of a man was here too. This was going to be a difficult situation. Didn't the stones react earlier. Yes when he was in pain. No this was no good. They need to go before he found Steven. He can't know she is here or else there was trouble a brewing. "My name is Yuuko we can do more introductions later...but we need to leave now..", she said obviously concerned. Quickly the illusion of her dissipated into nothing. "Go Steven", she commanded from the ring.

Laughing to himself, he focused in the road, he didn't wanted to get in an accident... again, he get in the hospital and of course had to pay almost all the money he kept in an year to fix some guys car, that time he hadn't payed that much, but now if he was fast enough, he would be payed the double or even a little extra, it was good to work on a fast food store, at least he was being paid what they say they were going to pay him, he knew the owners and they were like his family. Getting in the F.E, he let his bike on an parking lot with his name written in the back of the store, entering by the back door, he greeted Marvin, the only guy who he trusted in there but he still hated him because he was always so happy that he didn't let him deliver an pizza because it looked like someone he knew, he just waited for the food and the places as he looked what they had on the 'menu', he was going to eat in there, he worked in there so why don't take an half pizza and a soda for free? After a while of waiting and hearing the rain still fall outside, he saw Marvin coming with 5 delivery items, when he was getting near Rafa asked "Just that for the morning?" he raised an eyebrow as he got closer, Marvin just shrugged and answered "You know rainy days, always boring..." that meant he had just that for the morning, just five and nothing more "Anyway... the places you need to deliver are like almost close to one another, the first is close to Lowell Beach, if it was an sunny day I would be more jealous of you..." he sighed and continued "it is some fish-sticks and some drinks that are in this first box... well maybe for an party or..." Rafa groaned and he stopped seeing that he was hitting his nerves "ahn... the second is in one of the Ivory Heights Apartments but you will have to search for the guy who wanted it delivered, it's a normal pizza." Rafa raised an eyebrow and asked "You sure? They are rich people, they wouldn't be wanting to eat a fast food pizza..." Marvin shrugged and continued "It's better for you to stay with it, it's must be those tricky bastards wanting to us waste our time in their jokes..." Rafa nodded, he knew he wouldn't turn a pizza down, it was an free pizza after all. Marvin threw the little paper were it was written in the trash and get back saying "Well... this other two boxes are at this points, call for an Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Holter." he showed their places on his cellphone and showed it the places of them both, with an smile, he said "The last one is to give it to someone in the Beacon High, they forgot to say who it was so someone must be waiting inside the school so be fast, their lunchtime must be getting near." he grabbed everything and categorized it in the order, letting 'his' pizza in the bottom for later. He thanked him and get back to his motorcycle, he made a safe trip close to the beach, an good place, he saw that someone was waiting close to an shack and waving at him, it was Marcus, an old man that lived close to the beach, people said that he caught an mermaid one time but she was so beautiful that he let her go, the old man was wanting to eat something with fish so he somehow called them wanting fish-sticks and some drinks, probably he wanted beer, giving him the little box with his ordered food, he jumped in place with joy and gave him the exact money for the food. Getting back to his bike, he made another safe trip to the other two guys homes, they payed a little extra for him being fast, he was a little wet because of the rain but that wasn't a problem, when he was passing closer to an alley, he entered in there don't caring where it would lead him, he used his power to get warm and make the water evaporate around his jacket and pants, he did his best and didn't burned his clothes, he was now dry and an heat was slowly radiating from his body making some rain drops evaporate when they touched his clothes, he was a little too early to the school's lunchtime but he was a little far from it, he thought fast on using some short cuts, waiting for the right time to get out of the alley, he get full speed and used almost all the alleys he knew to get to his destination, the good thing was these big cities had an lot of wide alleys that could fit an car perfectly, he was getting closer to the school and it was getting closer to the lunchtime, he used his skills with an bike and stopped in the right time that the bell ranged for the lunchtime, he quickly grabbed the box with the food inside and more quickly tried to open the gates to the school, seeing the gatekeeper helping him, he thanked and quickly ran inside the school, now he was in one of the worse places in Lamboris, he looked around the place and slowly made his way to the principal's office, maybe he could help him on knowing who had called for the food.
