[Examine The Worthless Crystals][Sev]

[heartbreaker]

Indeed. They were worthless crystals, worth for nothing, really. Water was free.

Alexander Heartbreaker sat by the lake, on the usual mouldy damp green grass the crystal clear water, accounting for liquid crystals yet, meaning absuloutly nothing. His sky blue eyes stared over the horizon of it all, the soft moonlight reflecting off the place known as a [lake] He blinked his calm eyes softly, the soft Autumn breeze was all that was heard to him, and the occassional ruffle of the auburn tree leaves around him, sometimes even making its way to its deathbead as it gently fell to its faith on the grass.

His mind seemed to be traveling in every sort of social matter, other then the school he would now spend the rest of the school year in. He didnt care much about school, even if he was told he was extremely, probably naturally intelligent. It could have been luck, Alex was an extremely lucky guy, again, naturally.

He thought about his family, and how he had attempted to murder many of them over the last year or two, about his councelling classes where he is said to be classes phsycopathic & dangerous. All of this made him so angry, did they not know they betrayed him and they were meant to die? His gentle pale hands seemed to curl up in angry fists like instinct. His blue eyes blazed in anger with the thought of it, nobody would help him, this wasnt what made him who he was, it was who he was, nobody was to ever betray Alex without a murder threat, or promise.

Suddenly his thoughts were disturbed by movement behind him, definatly movement. He slowly turned his head only to find another human standing there looking down at him with mild curiousity.

"Sorry," Sev said quickly, taking a step back. "I didn't mean to be rude. I was just wondering if I could hang with you."

This was Sev's first step in his journey. He had decided on the train to this school that we was going to be himself and not let anyone else's opinions stop him. And the first thought that most people had about him was that he was extremely shy. Sure, Sev was a quieter person, but it did not mean he wanted to make new friends.

He sat down next to the guy and held out his hand. "Name's Sev," he said.

[heartbreaker]

The apologies of the other boy beside him made him of course, feel a slight bit awkward, for he had apologiesed for certainly nothing. Alex's face was emotionless, as he realised how this guy had apologised for something that was so insignificant, was it pure light kindness, sincerity & just simply politeness, or was it an act of weakness, as many people these days used it, just for an excuse to use polite English literature. Alex, as being good to analyse people's meaning in words, and their personalities, strong points and flaws, could tell this guy had just been genuinely like many people overused the common word 'sorry' something Alex had used only when he meant it, and something people have used against him and didnt mean, it didnt usually even dint his sense of forgiveness, and many times resulted in murder threats. The anger on Alex's fists slowly opening like a rose would after a night of rest. His glance soft but still emotionless, following as the guy sat down beside Alex, asking for permission to do so after he aplogised for certainly not serious enough crime.

"Alex Heartbreaker"Said the voice which sounded like a light and quiet song to certain people's ears, with a true English accent which graced many peoples opinions that he was indeed a mysterious & unique man. Alex's bright magnificent blue eyes glanced down at the hand that had been thurst to him in favour for him to shake, and accept this guy Sev as an individual followed by the name he had given. Alex blinked and raised a pale hand to him, and enclosed his fingers around his palm and lightly shook it.
His eyes watching the movement until their hands broke away and again Alex glanced up to look at Sevs face, it must have been short for something right?

"Same routine everyday isnt it?"He said unexpectidly, breaking the soft silence and lack of human vocals.

Sev awkwardly put his hand back down and glanced out at the lake. He had come here just because it looked a good place to hang out. Of course, this felt a bit awkward for Sev, as he had never really 'hung out' with someone his age. This would definately turn out interesting.

"Same routine everyday isnt it?"
Sev shook his head, smirking. "Far from it," he said. "I just got here yesterday. Sorted into Ravenclaw like my mum. I'm still trying to adjust to not being at home, you know. So the routine is nonexistant. I'm still trying to figure things out."

He shrugged. At least he had the upperhand, unlike Yuki, who he met on the train here, who had no clue about the wizarding world until recently. Sev at least knew about the school and the wizarding world.

"How long have you been here?" he asked.

[heartbreaker]

Alex broke his soft smile into a light smirk which curved on his pale lips as Sev explained how he had only gotten here yesterday. He must of arrived late, more likley, yet Alex hadn't been here long himself, only arriving no more then a week ago. He had gotten into the hang of things now, and basically knew where everything was, to him everyday was becoming a routine which he would need to follow for a long time, and it was strange as he could and never would adapt to something ro remotely uninteresting. Maybe a social life with people who didnt think he was phsycopathic would do him so good and maybe make his life a little more exciting. Hopefully.

His eyes glanced back out at the surrounding water, and its glistening soft moonlight which reflected in it, every molecule of water differing the shape of the water every few seconds, yes, Alex was indeed very watchful and noticed everything even if he was oblivious to alot in life, including people's feelings and emotions.
"Im only here a week actually, and this routine is already forming. Its already a bit irritating to be honest."He gave a light sigh as his dangerous yet beautiful eyes searched around them, for some sort of activity.
"Im Slytherin. Just like.....nobody else in my family."He smirked sarcasticly.

"Wow, they really get you into the system quickly," Sev shrugged. "I already went to a couple classes. It's really easy though, I think. But that's just because I've grown up with a muggleb- I mean witch mother."

Sev would have said his mother was muggleborn but Alex announced that he was Slytherin. Sev wasn't one to stereotype, as he hated being stereotyped himself, but his mother told him of stories about how Slytherins used to make fun of her for being muggleborn. Hopefully things have changed a little, but you never know.

"Ravenclaw," he responded quickly. "Just like my mother was. So, do you like the school?" he added, quickly wanting to change the subject."

[heartbreaker]

Alex listened as Sev explained the classical ways of speaking, about classes & school & such, it was pretty hard not to talk about school if you go to the same one. Suddenly Alex's attention was caught like a rope would be entwined in a hook, his eyes shot at the guy beside him. He was a mudblood. Alex did not like them at all, his parents had been brought together, magical and not magical, Alex just didnt see why mingle with such filth as those who do not posses the magical powers that they do. Where has all the Wizard Pride gone? A slight smirk curved on the boys lips, as he stared at the other boy, his gaze cold, listening to the subject change and the attempt to hide his blood identity from the Slytherin. He gave a cold laugh.
"Once you start a sentance, you surely cannot try to erase it without being noticed. Why dont you just finish off that sentance the way you started?"He said calmly, yet no doubt, coldly.

Since he was a muggleborn or a mudblood, Slytherins do not speak to them, they do not like to be associated them, it is merely an act of Vanity, even if Alex was not the slight bit Vain, he did think Wizards were higher class then muggles. His gaze did not leave Sev, yet surely it would be childish to simply dismiss him because of his blood identity. Yet he was not sure he could trust him, as if he even trusted Pure-bloods half the time.

Sev was caught off guard by Alex's comment. He really did not like the attitude that was coming from this guy. Sev could tell that this guy was steaming from the fact that Sev had almost mentioned that his mother was muggleborn. He frowned, his left hand moving slowly to the wand in his back pocket. Just in case...

"I said, classes are really easy because I was taught beforehand by a witch mother," he repeated, slowly and clearly.

[heartbreaker]

Alex's eyes blazed as he watched his hand travel to his wand, noticing his sense of a temper, and insecurity in needing a wand for a conversation so simple. Alex was a dangerous man to go with, as he has been diagnosed Physopathic and will indeed hurt whoever opposed him. Yet, he did not yet see a reason to reach for his own wand because it would be foolish to expose such weakness.

Yet his lying words did not to Sev justice, Alex simply blinked at him, his eyes blazing again from a mixture of emotions. Did this guy think Alex was a fool and did not realise when someone was lying and hiding something from him? Alex let out a loud sigh and stared back out at the lake again, feeling the piercing eyes of Sev on his back, knowing his wand was only inches away.
He spoke calmly while staring out at the black lake.
"I dont like lying."He said with a dangerous but calm tone.
"Or useless wand pointing."He continued.

[/font][/size][/color]

[cremefilled]

"I'm not lying," Sev shook his head. "My mother is a witch. She was in this very school and probably sat at this very lake. She told me how she loved to read and look up and see this in front of her. I already told you my mum was a Ravenclaw and graduated top of her class, like a Ravenclaw should. What makes you think I'm lying."

He put his hand back down on the grass. But he knew he would have to be ready just in case he did need his wand.

"Alex, I don't have my wand in my hand," he said, holding his hands up. "I'm not going to point it at you for any reason. I just like the security of knowing it's there. Now, let's please get back to our first topic, school..."

[heartbreaker]

Alex let out a small cold laugh. He had a new theory, maybe he just shouldnt listen to a single word anyone says, surely there must be a hint of a lie in everything. This was his way of thinking ever since his father was murdered, and anyone who had been proven guilty to him or disapointing, or betraying him resulted him pointing his wand at them or throwing his hands over their throats. This caused him to attend councling classes, and he now simply could not control his answer or thoughts about anyone. Everyone seemed to be a liar or a traitor to him. Including family. Alex didnt even look behind him, he could tell from the corner of his eyes Sev had kept his hands wand free now, and he didnt actually care anymore if he was lying or not.

His eyes shifted from the lake down to the black grass infront of him, the one he sat on. They looked silver in the light, his eyes. He liked the security of his wand by his side? he didnt seem to be a trusting person just as Alex was. He didnt know if this was a good way to be or not, yet it was a secure way not to get hurt.
"Yeah. School."He said simply not interested in the subject anymore. His thought on his dad again. He sighed, and let out a long hot breathe before talking again, his eyes glancing back up into the horizon again.
"So im guessing you get the top marks yeah?"He asked trying to keep the conversation going without a hint of awkwardness.

Sev's shoulders relaxed slightly as Alex seemed to calm down as well. Still, the Ravenclaw could feel that there would be tensions between them in the future. Another one of Sev's missions was to keep things cool between the two of them. He shuffled his feet a little and sat forward as the conversation turned to something more boring but less strain-causing.

"Top of the class," Sev nodded. "That's what I'm hoping for. I do think I have a step up over those who never lived in the wizarding world just because my mother has already taught me the basic spells and whatnot. And I'd love to follow in my mother's footsteps in academia. But I'll have to make sure that I do something great in this world to make her proud of me."

While his mother had always loved him, there was still that lingering memory that Sev was not a planned birth. In fact, his birth was the result of two people decieving each other. He wanted to lose the name of 'the accident' and to do that, Sev planned for great things. One of his life missions was to make a difference in the world and make his parents [both of them] proud.

[heartbreaker]

Heartbreaker nodded in understandment as he explained how he had been on top in the class. His own academics being his last priority, yet still he had excelled excellently in academics, must be just a streak of luck as always. The only thing he was good for is always kept a secret from others. He sounded like a proud boy, here to do his mother proud. He gave a light smile, in thought on how his father had always been proud of him no matter what he did, he wondered if he truely meant it....he must have. He never lied.

Now he didnt care if he did anyone proud, surely his dead father wasnt watching him and his mother meant nothing to him. He nodded then again at Sev. The snake bites on his lower lips raising with his small smirk he had caused.
"So your academics are your first priority while mine are making sure i find whoever murdered my father. Diffrences are not even half of the explanation."He said with his eyebrows raised his tone unexplainable. He was a slight bit amused on how this punk rocker infront of him liked his academics, while he, another punk rocker had no intention of even excelling the seven years. His thoughts too occupied with deaths and murders.

"Your father was murdered?" Sev said, quietly. "I'm sorry." He looked down. While Sev did not have much of a father, he would be upset if he did die, or was murdered. Sev took a deep breath.

"But my goal is to make something of myself," he admitted. "And I'm sure that's where we can be similar. We have strong goals and we are going to persue them."

He looked back out into the lake again. He was unsure of whatelse to say. He already felt very awkward about almost getting into a fight with this kid.

[heartbreaker]

Sev's feelings and view of the world, was so, optimistic that it made Alex's life seem dark, revengeful & angry. Which to an extent it was. Alex was not a normal kid, not to the extent. Suddenly he remembered something....the last few nights he had not been alone, like someone or something had been watching every move he was making, his heart nearly stopped at the thought of this, as it completely slipped his mind until now, that it happened just last night, in this very spot. Suddenly his pale face drained colour and went sheet white.

He looked around him anxiously, his eyes seemed to glitter, just waiting for something to hop out at him. He almost looked half mad, his lips paled as his eyes stared, he brought his knees closer to his face and dug his head on his knees and covered his head with his hands, All he was missing now was to rock back and forwards and he would look like something from a mad house. His voice shivered with deep coldness.
"They....they're watching me........."

[/font][/size][/color]

[cremefilled]

Sev glanced out at the lake again, as Alex seemed quiet. He scratched the back of his head, contemplating whether or not he should just leave. Things were already messed up enough and the prospect of a new friend was out of the question. Sev was about to open his mouth to excuse himself when the cold voice spoke up.

Sev frowned at what Alex was saying and realized that he looked quite pale. "Are you okay?" Sev said slowly, unsure of how to even react to the weird way Alex was behaving.

[heartbreaker]

Alex started to shake, with the imaginative, and real movement of tree's around him. He felt like he was being sufficated, like the tree's were turning on him. Every move and wind caused him hardship. He knew they wanted him, he knew that he was next. His crystal clear blue eyes stared up from his knees, his hands still over his head, as if despretly waiting for everything to crash down every minute. His eyes were dancing, yet, out of fear. His mind showed no sense of ease from Sev's simple words, his words sounded like a whisper to him, a whisper right into his ear. Alex took a deep breath, knowing there there another human beside him. He whispered, his voice like velvet, yet whispering like someone was listening. Not daring to look Sev in the eyes.
"They....they're going to get me Sev. And I cant fight back."He whispered nearly madly crying out the word 'cant' He gave another shiver.

[/center]

He knew that he had been followed the last few days, and he knew what he was being followed by. No, not paranoia. They were vampires, vampires had been watching him, they want him as one of them. Alex, liked vampires, but the thought of being one would bring so much change into his life. So he hid, as well as he could, but knowing it would not do any good.
He still didnt know why they had chosen him, but right now the thought that was on his mind, was to get away, to hide.[/color][/size][/font][/blockquote]

[cremefilled]

Sev slid backwards a little, not really wanting to get too close to this sudden insanity. How could things changed this quickly, from an arguement to Alex almost seemingly posessed. He could tell that his words were worthless, just falling across Alex's ears. Unable to move closer, Sev just watched, growing just as pale as the Slytherin.

"Alex..." was all he could think of saying, words failing him.
