Lorien Legacies discussion

Aurdel Folan pulled up her hood, getting out of her Guardian, Joanna's, car and heading into the rain storm towards the school. She knew that as a Lorian that didn't want to get noticed or discovered, being late for school was a pretty poor thing to do. She opened the door and went into the nearly empty halls.

Natalie ran into class and took a seat in the back

Dempsey Bingham drummed her fingers on her desk and slumped in her chair, staring blankly at the chalkboard. It bore the words 'Welcome, Luc Cafferty from Philidelphia!'. Since this town was small, having a new kid - along with the other new gir, Aurdel Something-or-Another - that had joined the school was huge. Escpecially since there was more than one. And the staff made sure that they were made right at home. Too bad they didn't do that for the other students.

Luc Cafferty took his seat next to a blonde girl - Dempsey, she had been called during role call - then looked at the board that welcomed him to the school. He shook his head, knowing that this was the last thing he wanted. To be overly noticed. He had hoped that he had just trickled into the school, uncared about or noticed. Apparently, this was not the town for these kind of arrivals. He had noticed Aurdel Folan's face in the crowd of students at orientation a few days ago, but had not gotten a chance to speak with her. They were not close friends, not friends at all, but they knew of each other and could have each other's backs when nessisary. She was probably avoiding him, Luc thought as he eyed Dempsey, her blank stare at his name on the chalkboard.

Natalie sighed and looked out the window

Natalies sigh madeMarla glance up from her book. Following Natalies glance, she looked out the window into the pouring rain. Then Natalie turned and looked at the board and stiffened. Marla followed her glance to the board reading "Welcome Luc Cafferty from New York" then glanced at the new boy. There was somthing different about him....somthing weird. She nugged Natalie and nodded towards the board then Luc and by Natalies look, she knew they were both thinkning the same thing.

Natalie looked at Marla and nodded

Luc sighed and stretched in his seat. Dempsey looked over at him, "Not real happy about the huge welcome, are you?" She asked. Luc shrugged, "I'm not just the type that wants to be noticed." He answered.

Marla thought quickly. If Luc really was one of them, she and Natalie would be the ones to know. But what about the other girl, Audrel-whatever? was she to? Man she was just glad she had Natalie to talk to.

Luc noticed a blonde girl drop into the seat next to him, soaked to the skin. His dark eyes took her in and he cocked his head to the side.

Dempsey noticed Lume, a girl that she didn't know very well, sit next to Luc. "So new guy, shall I call you Luc?"

Marla couldnt believe all the new people today! She wondered how many of them were one of THEM. "Lot's of new people, huh?" Matt said as he slid in to the seat next to her. She smiled. Matt had been her friend since kindergarten. even though he was popualr, they were still friends. "Yeah I cant beleive it!" Then he gave me 'the look'. The look that ment "Are they them? Does this have to do with Lorien?" Maby part of the reason they had stayed friends through Matt's move to the popular table, was because he was one, ok the only earthling (at least that Marla knew about) knew about Lorien. She and Natalie had agreed to tell him last year when he had witnessed them developing their legacies. She nodded. "Thats what i was just wondering" he smiled, and turned to face their teacher.

Luc brushed some water from his face. He turned away and looked over at Dempsey, "Sure. Why not?" He asked. He refocused on the board in front of him.

Aurdel got into the classroom, taking her seat by the window and avoiding stares.

Marla still couldnt believe it. Droning out her teachers words, she began to think. Lume, Audrel and Luc were all new here, all in the same day, all in the same class. The same class, I might add, that had two other Loriens. That made five. Even if she and Natalie were 12 and Audrel looked around 18, they were all (probably) Loriens. Wich ment they had to have come from Lorien more recently. She had heard about the 9 who came to Earth before them, and they were all...well no one knew, but they wernt young any more. We were the new generation of Loriens-on-earth. So how did 5 of us end up in the same school in a little town in Ohio? certenly it wasnt a coincidence.....was it?

Luc tried to just concentrate on being nothing; unnoticed. He furrowed his eyebrows as he kept his gaze forward.

Aurdel sighed and opened her notebook, beginning to doodle.

Class was nearing to an end. Marla couldnt take it any longer. She felt like she was going to explode. She had to be very careful so she wouldnt break anything with her telekinisis. She decided. She was going to talk to them after school. But wich one?

((I'm not sure if thats possible, but we'll try!))

((is ur dude around?))

Luc waited for the bell and then retreated out of the room. He decided to just ditch the rest of the day. He was a new kid; they would understand if he had 'family issues'. He went out into the rain and went into an old, nearly empty coffeehouse.

((skip a few hours!!!))

Marla looked around as she carried her tray over to a spot next to Natalie. She couldnt see Luc anywhere, she hadnt seen Audrel yet, but there was Lume sitting over in a corner, by her self. Not drawing any attention. Just like a Lorien, Marla thought to herself. She decided she would be the one to talk to first. But firt she had to see if Natalie would help her, or if she was on her own.

((Aurdel...like AR-DELL))

Aurdel entered the lunchroom. Dempsey fell into step with her, "Hey Newbie." She smiled, slinging an arm around her, "How would you like to sit with me and my possy?" She asked, playing up her tom-boy, white-girl-gangsta personality. Because Aurdel didn't want to draw a scene, she nodded.
"Great." Dempsey grinned, "Right this way." She plopped down at her usual table with her friends. "Newbie, this is Alona, Jacob, Chance, Ricky, Cece, and Colin. Guys, this is the newbie, Aurdel. But I think that I'll just call you Newbie or by your last name, Folan."

Marla headed iver to the popular table. Natalie didnt want to come, so she was going to ask Mark. On her way over, she passed Dempsey leading Aurdel over to another table. Aurdel ahd a look of "why is this happening" on her face. Marla smiled to herself "just like a Lorien".

"Dude, look whos coming your way!" Mitch said to me, pointing as Marla approached our table. She had been my friend since kindergarten, and i was one of the only people who knew her secret. "Hey Mar" I said, calling to her. "Hey Matt, can i talk to you?" She gave me 'the look'. I glanced at Mitch, who I told earlier she had some 'family problems' wich was our excuse for talking about Lorien. "Sure". I followed her over to a spot near the window, were she began "I was think ing that Luc, Lume and Aurdel seem like Loriens. I wanted to talk to one of them. I cant find Luc, and Aurdel just got "captured" by Dempsey. So that leaves Lume. And I dont wanna do it alone." I smiled. For a girl who was trying to keep her identity a secret, she was pushy. "Ok, ok I'm in." She smiled and we headed over to talk to Lume.

(( guys, i cant do my talk with Lume untill Everly's back, and I have to go. So lunch is at a stand still, just keep things at lunch untill we can keep going.))

Marla and Matt headed over towards Lume. "Excuse me?" Marla said, questioningly. "My name is Marla, and this is Matt. We need to talk to you."

Marla turned around a said "Wait, Lume I understand! Then while Lume was looking, she turned her hands on and shined them in her face. Turning them of she said "Now can we talk?"

"Wait, Lume, wait!" Marla called after her. Matt stopped her, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Lets just tak eit easy. She's probably protecting her identity. It makes sence you know." he smiled, bu Marla couldnt help feeling like she had just done somthing terribly wrong.

Marla couldnt believe it. She skipped her next class and rad to her favorite spot under the stairs. There was a small hall closet that hadent beeen used for years, well by anyone else that is. This was Marla's favorite spot, even Natalie and Matt didnt know about it. She let her tears fall. What had she just done? Lume would probably never talk to her again! She was sure not acting like a Lorien. She was going to make everyone know. Maybe she was wrong about Lume. Maybe this was all a big mistake. Maybe.....the thoughts swirled around in her head, untill she fell asleep.

"Marla? Marla were are you?" Matt called. After they had confronted Lume, Marla had dissapered. There were five more minutes before 8th period and she had to find her. "Make it Stop! Make it stop!" he heard somone saying. "Marla?" he called. was that her? "Marla!?" it was coming from the janitors closet. He opened the door. "Marla?" but it wasnt Marla. It was Lume.
"Lume! Are you ok?" he asked, dropping to his knees.

"Calm down calm down" Matt said, trying to calm her down. This was just like a last year when Marla had been getting the first of her legacies. "Now first, your Lorien arnt you?"

"I knew it" Mark muttered to himself. "Whos your Cepan? have you called her yet?"

Aurdel finally escaped Dempsey's clutches and hurried down the empty halls. She tripped over her shoelace and went tumbling down the hall, skidding to a stop on her back by a janitor's closet.

Luc returned from the cafe, into the empty halls.

"I'm fine." Aurdel got to her feet and dusted herself off. She hadn't been hurt at all, only embarrassed.

"Umm Lume, can I talk to you?" asked Matt, observing the situation at hand.

"Thanks?" Aurdel said, "I know."

((g2g))

((how can i jump in?))

((I'm not sure. Who's your character?))
"Are you coming?" asked Matt trying to keep the urgent/irritated tone out of his voice.

(( Rachele, she's a human. Are they at school? I mean all the characters?))

((I dont know but so far most of them are))

Matt watched Lume dial her guardians number, wich he was assuming was her cepan. What was she going to say? he ondered and where on earth was Marla?

((Mkay thanks)

Rachele walked into her new school after getting her schedule and locker combination, she walked over to her new locker and tried to unlock it.

"Whoa, huh?" Aurdel asked. She spotted Luc coming in, "Oh look, something wicked this way comes."
"Ha ha. Nice to see you, too, again, Folan. Or should I say Number 15?" He snapped.
"Only if I can call you Number 24." Aurdel shot back and turned back to Lume. "You have a guardian? So are we all like....Lorians here?"

Matt turned around hearing Audrel and Luc's conversation. "I think I have the answer to that. Marla, Natalie, you two, and Lume here are all Loriens."

"Well, we know that we are all Loriens." Aurdel said, "But it's kinda odd that we were all led to the same location. Do you think it could be part of....their plan?" She asked.
Luc shrugged. "Hard to say."

"Im not sure" said Matt "but heres the thing, I'm not a Lorien, I just know about it from Marla. Speaking of Marla, has anyone seen her recently?"

((Where are they at?))

((school))

((Thanks. But, where at at school? Lunchroom, hall, etc. sorry for all the questions, I just don't know how to jump in :P))

((hallway by a janitors closet))

Aurdel shook her head, "Nope. New here, remember?" She said and Luc nodded, "Same here."
"Okay what I wanna know is why the hell Joanna and Bisbe relocated us to the same place, Number 15." Luc said to Aurdel.
She shrugged, "No idea. Joanna just told me that I would be safe here."
"That's the exact same thing Bisbe told me." Luc said.

Matt pulled out his phone and dialed Marla's number. After waiting a couple seonds, Marla answered.
"Matt? How long has it been? Whats happened? Will you come get me out! OMG just help me!" Marla cried into the phone.
"Woah calm down Mar! First of all, where are you?" "I'm in the deserted hall closet under the stairs, and I fell asleep and now the doors locked and oh man oh man oh" Matt cut her off. "It's ok. I'm coming down to get you. Just stay calm." he snapped the phone shut and turning to the others, said "I'm going to go get Marla. You guys come with me, after get her, I think we need to figure out a plan."

Matt sighed. Why were Loriens so frustrating? They were always worried about there cêpan or there life or them. They always walked out on you, and always seemed to get their way. He couldnt blame them, that was for sure. I mean they were alines after all. But why cant they just cooperate for once? He headed down the hall, not bother ing to look behind him to see if Aurdel or Luc where following him. His friend was Marla, and he was going to talk to her before he did anything else. Besides, she probably understood them a whole lot better than he did.

((ok bye Everly =( ))
Marla leaned against the wall in the hal closet. Mark said he was coming, she just had to wait. Why on earth was the door locked? and who had locked it? Marla thought it must be them, and that couldnt be good. She leaned back, closed her eyes, and sighed.

Mark turned around and faced Luc and Aurdel. "Are you two coming or not?"

Where was Matt? Marla thought to herself. Maybe he got confused about which stairway. She picked up her phone and dialed her cepan, Sydney's number. After one ring, she answered. "Marla, are you alright?" she asked in a worried tone. "Well, it goes like this....." Marla filled Sydney in with all the events of th day, starting with Luc, Lume and Aurdel, to trying to talk to Lume, and then ending up here asleep with the door locked. "Matt's coming to unlock the door right now." She told Sydney, "but he's not here yet." "Do you know who locked it?" asked Sydney. "No, but im afraid it might....be..." Marla cut off. Sydney knew what she was going to say. "I know, well just sit tight and call me if anything else happens" said Sydney. "ok bye" said Marla, hanging up to wait for Matt.
