Shadows of The World discussion

A large home with a pool in the backyard, inside mostly consisted of black and white furniture--what Luke preferred.
----------------------

Luke laid on the couch shirtless, a pizza box on the floor and a piece in his limp hand as he slept on the furniture.

Isabella knocked on his door. Her fingers were itching to grab a sephrah blade and use it, but she controlled the impulse. He might be able to help, and she didn't exactly have the clave's approval to be here, much less hurt him.

Luke groaned and put the pizza in the box. Luke pulled himself up, his eyes bleary with sleep and his hair messy. Luke forced the door open, he was still shirtless--his green eyes like a cat's "WHAT!?" he demanded, annoyed at whoever woke him up.

Isabella's hand twitched, but she didn't do anything. "You're the warlock?" She asked in a demanding voice, looking him over. "Great." She muttered shaking her head

Luke looked her over once. "Yes" he said simply with a yawn before slamming the door in her face. Luke walked to his fridge and pulled out a can of coke before chugging it.

Isabella scowled and banged on his door, "Open up Jerk!" She wasn't going to give up that easily

Luke rolled his eyes and made the door become burning hot with a snap of his fingers "Go away bitch" he yelled back at her.

[lol, Chels has claims on him XD sorry darlin]

((Mmk))

"I just need a portal!" Isabella cussed having burned her hand

Luke groaned and opened his door, still shirtless he frowned "You Just need a portal!? and you think they grow on trees!?" He shook his head and disappeared in the house before coming back with a vial of blood and a lock. "Just pour the blood on the locket and whisper where you want to go. I expect a hundred dollars by next week." Luke slammed the door back in her face and went back to sleep.

Isabella took it from him, before he changed his mind. "Thanks!" she said, even though he'd already slammed the door

Luke fell back asleep on the couch

Sydney's eyes glazed, she couldn't free her legs anymore. Whatever that man had said under his breath had really meant something bad.
"Oh no.." She huffed, seeing a house at the end of the road. "Perfect.." She yawned, struggling to make her way down the road.
The stairs where the hardest to climb, they felt like a mountain.
"Hello?" She said, her voice not even above a whisper, her hand wrapped against the door. She knocked again, falling to her knees, breathing softly.
"Please, help me.."

Luke groaned and woke up again, he got up off the couch still shirtless. Luke made his way to the door before throwing it open "What!?" he demanded before his eyes softened and he caught the girl in the movement of her falling to her knees. "Hello? Lady, can you hear me?"

Sydney draped forward, falling flat on her face. She could just barely see his feet.
"Hel-p.." was the last thing she forced out before everything around her went black.
The darkness made her body feel cold, then hot. It was like a on going battle of good and evil raging on inside her.

Luke frowned and pulled her up into his strong arms before running into the doorway. Luke slammed the door shut with his foot and ran up to his room. The boy laid the small girl onto his king size bed and ran to his closet. Luke grabbed a medical bag from his doctor days and put the stethoscope into his ears. Luke put his hand under the girl's shirt and pressed the end to her chest--listening intently.

Sydney's breathing was shallow, it was hardly noticeable through the stethoscope. Her heart was racing, though. Beating like a truck engine.
Her temperature wouldn't go down either. It was like her insides we being ignited, then dosed with water every other minute.

Luke frowned and shook his head, realizing that it was something magical. Luke put the stethoscope around his neck and cut his wrist. Luke took his blood and drew a symbol on her forehead and ripped her shirt open before drawing another symbol over her heart. Luke drew two more onto each wrist. Closing his eyes Luke opened her mouth and pressed his lips over her, he gathered his life essence and blew some blue shining air into her lungs. Luke's lips were still on hers as he started whispering a spell "kite move lespri ou yo jete deyò, sove inosan an, kite kè ou rete rythm li a" He whispered against her lips while making a connection with her. His hand went onto her chest as he pressed his hand on her heart to feel the beat.

Sydney's body went limp for only a few minutes, then came to life with her hacking and coughing, holding her bare chest..
"WHAT!? WHERE IS MY!?" She jumped up, grabbing the comforters and tripping over falling right to the floor again. She couldn't regain her train of thought when she saw Luke standing there, witnessing her acting like such a fool.
"Who.. Are-You?" She asked, trying to seem polite since she realize she was in his house.

Luke frowned and handed her his button up shirt, he took the stethoscope and put the buds back into his ears before pressing the end onto her bare chest "Breathe in deeply for me please." He muttered in his professional doctor mode.

Sydney choked up, her face turning a bright pink colour.
"Oh! Okay.." She breathed deeply, closing her eyes thinking There's no place like home, There's no place like home.. but Dorothy couldn't save her now. She had no idea where she was, or who he was.
"Uhm, what's your.. Name?" Her voice was shaky.

Luke listened to her heartbeat for a tad bit before nodding and putting the stethoscope back around his neck. Luke picked her up and placed her back on the bed before pulling the comforter back over her. Luke took a thermometer and placed it in her mouth "Keep that in, I'm Luka, but call me Luke." Luke shrugged, his green eyes slitted like a cat's

Sydney looked like a deer in headlights, her chocolate brown eyes as wide as they get. "Uh.. Why am I here..?" She croaked, coughing again. For some reason, her throat felt hot. As if she was swallowing hot honey.
"I-" She whispered, feeling her head starting to go fuzzy again. It was like she was coming in and out of a dream state. It was taking her body.
"Luk-"

Luke frowned and went close to her, he grabbed some water and gently pressed it to her lips "Drink slowly, sips please." He whispered to her with his fingers at the pulse in her neck, counting it.

Sydney tried to nod, but her muscles felt like 100 pound weights. She did what she was told, and sipped the water. It was so cold her whole body shivered, but it felt nice. It was dosing the flames she imagined inside of her.
"Am I, going to die?" she asked quietly, you could tell she was going to cry because of her eyes. They never hid her emotions well for her.

Luke shook her head "no, you aren't going to die. You were just hit by a pretty powerful curse." he sighed and laid her gently back onto the bed. Luke grabbed his blood pressure cuff and hooked it around her arm before checking that as well.

(Kelsey he can be a high worlock but not to ALL new york, pick from manhattan, brooklyn, the bronx, queens or staten island))

[Sure thing!, hey do I get modness?]

(YESH!)

Sydney seemed to calm down slightly, feeling her calmness rush through her body she laid still. Almost as if she was totally fine.
"Wait, did you say.. curse?" She asked, beginning to shake softly. She wasn't really afraid, mostly just shocked. She'd never been 'cursed' before, what could she had done to end up like this she wondered.

Luke looked over at her and pressed her ear to his chest "Close your eyes and just listen to my heartbeat" he said gently, knowing it was a way he was always taught to calm others down.

Sydney's skin burnt up, she wanted to pull away but it'd seem rude since he was sort of nursing her back to good health. "Okay.." she surrendered, listening to his heart be. He was obviously trying to calm her down, and it was working. "You still didn't answer my question.." She mumbled, almost drooling. She was so relaxed.
"How-" She yawned, "Could I be cursed..?"

Luke sighed "That I do not know yet, I'll figure it out though" he mumbled. For some reason Sydney's innocence cut through his cocky walls like a knife...either that or it was because she was sick. Eh. He'd find out tomorrow.

Sydney was slowly falling asleep, she could feel the weight slipping away from her arms but she hooked them around Luke's waist. She wanted to sit up, but knew it best to lay down. But she refused and held herself close to him while she drifted off.
As she slept, she had dreams about her grandparents, wondering where she'd escaped off to this time.

Luke sighed but rubbed her back gently, he couldn't move now. Luke gently unwound her arms from him and laid her back on the pillows. Without hesitating Luke hooked Sydney up to a portable heart monitor just so that he could watch her pulse and make sure it was alright

Sydney woke when the sun was just rising. She felt the machine attached to her but she wasn't alarmed. She scanned the room quickly before slowly getting up. She wasn't exactly sure what to do. Or if anyone was awake, but she wanted to explore, so she slowly unhooked herself and slipped out the bedroom door. The hallways seemed endless. She loved the feeling. Sydney thought she could be in a castle. But that was totally impossible, how could a castle go unnoticed in New York?

Luke walked into the room in black jeans and a button up shirt untucked from his pants. Luke set a glass of water into her hands. "Go ahead and drink, I'm just going to check your heart rate alright?"

Sydney gulped down the water. She hadn't realized how thirsty she was until the water crept down her throat and made it seem like it was just feeding her a life source right then and there.
"I don't like that machine.." She said, looking at it with intense caution. She hated doctors, and anything to do with them. They creep-ed her out, she only went to them when it was a life or death situation. But she was guessing that it was.

Luke chuckled and pulled out another bottle, he filled the glass "Feel free to keep drinking princess." He smirked and took a stethoscope, Luke pressed it to her chest gently.

Sydney kept drinking, until..
"Uh Luke.. Could I.. use the bathroom?" She sounded so young and childish, swaying back and forth. Her bladder was full to the rim, and she was ready to let it out.

Luke chuckled and put the stethoscope around his neck "Yeah, the bathroom is just through those doors. Do you need to be carried or can you walk?" He watched her with his bright green cat eyes, a brow risen

Sydney shook her hand playfully. "I can manage." She could feel her inner feminist telling her to not accept anymore help from this boy.. man..
Something inside her wanted to be more independent when he asked her for help.
Stuck in thought, she hobbled down the hallway into the bathroom. As she went, she realized she had a sharp pain in her side, and when she looked down..
"GOD DAMNIT!"

Luke rose an eyebrow and went to the door, he knocked on the door. "Two things" he called out to her "One, language little missy, two--What's wrong?"

Sydney sighed, tears slipping from her eyes. She knew her emotions felt out of wack. "Sorry, and uh.." She didn't want to tell him, but how was she suppose to hide the stains that would appear on her new white shorts?
"Luke, I don't suppose you have a tampon.. do you?" she almost laughed. It was kind of a funny situation.

Luke froze for a moment before sighing "I'll be right back, I'm running to the store alright? Just put your shorts in the hamper and I'll get Maudie to clean them later." He said kindly, already getting his keys.

Sydney gulped, "Wait! What am I going to wear until you get back!?" she looked down at her shorts, pushing them towards the hamper. She almost wanted to laugh in hist-aria. She'd never been through such embarrassment.

Luke smiled gently "just sit on the toilet and wait for me then" he said with a chuckle before walking out the door. Luke came back ten minutes later and unlocked the door, his eyes closed. "Alright, I've got four different sizes, Pamprin, and a heating pad--and if you are in the mood. Chocolate ice cream but that's in the fridge." He tossed the stuff towards her in the sac.

Sydney scrambled for the bag, taking care of her issue then flushing. "Ha-Ha. You're so funny." You could tell she actually found it amusing. "Excuse me, but do you have any pants?" She asked, trying to pull her shirt over her panties. She couldn't help it. But she was nervous like this. Especially with him looking right at her.

Luke chuckled and nodded, his eyes still closed as he turned and walked straight into the wall. "Ouch" he muttered before rubbing his head and walking to his room. Luke returned a few minutes later with a really bag of sweats and some old backetball shorts. "They both have drawstrings so have your pick."

Sydney took the pants and slipped them on. They made her look 12. She didn't comment on that but she did smile.
"Can I have that ice-cream now?"

Luke chuckled and nodded 'Yeah, you can get drugged up or whatever it is you want to do. I'll be downstairs getting bowls ready." Luke nodded at her before going downstairs. He pulled out the tripple chocolate ice cream and started scooping it into bowels.
