"Thanks. And same goes for you ya know," he said, thinking of how it had taken so long to tell his sister everything. She got angry easily, making it hard to talk to her about certain things. Orion rubbed the hilt of his sword again. "I wonder if I would have met you if you weren't crying..." he mused, going out on a limb in assuming it wouldn't upset her. After all they had already talking a lot about their pasts and that part of Jora's life didn't seem so bad in comparison. He finally realized that he was rubbing the hilt of his sword, but this time he didn't stop, knowing Jora wouldn't think he was threatening her. It had been pretty stupid to think that earlier.

Bmr, Yin,

Maybe... I didn't know. Why? Why me? I didn't mean for this to happen. And I also didn't know what I did. Or maybe... Who did it.
Ever since a week ago, I had woken up in a strange place. The people there had said it was a hospital. A place to help get people better. But I didn't know that I was hurt. Or sick. Or anything. I had no trace of any memory of my past at all. All I remember was when I had awoken in the hospital.
My right arm and left leg were broken, the people there - the doctors - had said. "How was this caused?" I asked. The doctors told me a boy found me lying unconsciously under a bridge, blood spilt all over. He had called the police, and sent me there.
Then, I asked, "Why was I there, under the bridge, with blood spilt all over me?" The doctors shook their heads. They didn't know either. All they knew was I was terribly hurt. And that my memory was lost. They told me it was like I was brainwashed.

Weeks, maybe a month later, I got released from the hospital, free to go out. The sun was up, and it was hot outside that day. Summer, I thought. But the place seemed so unfamiliar. But I did recognize some things.
My family - which I wasn't sure of - had taken me out for a stroll, helping me up and down. I had crutches, which I had just learnt how to use.
My parents, told me about school. Of course, I had no idea what that was. It was a place to learn and make friends, was what my parents had told me.
My younger siblings, who were apparently named Rose and Jack, told me I was the eldest daughter of the family. They both had similar appearances to me. The two had auburn hair, like me, and Rose and I had green eyes, while Jack had brown.
They said my own name was Angelina, meaning angel, because of my kindness and generosity. They had nicknamed me that - Angel.
I tried to ask them what had happened to me, why I have no memories of them or anyone I knew back then. But... They didn't know, which saddened me.

A year went by and my parents had homeschooled me. I was seventeen, they told me. They didn't want me going into public school because of my memory loss. I still had to learn. A lot. I was pretty smart, actually. My parents said I was doing well.
One day, I was walking with Rose and Jack. They wanted to go to the park and play with our dog, Curly. So I took them. I thought of them as actual family now. I loved them and they were now very dear to me.
I sat on a bench, watching the two, eleven and twelve year olds. Those two were so similar, and also best friends.
I took out a book from my bag and started reading. I suddenly got spooked by a voice, who said my name, that was for some reason, very familiar. I look up, and see a boy with brown hair and hazel eyes. He too, looked very familiar. He repeated my name, his head cocked to the side. "Angel?"
I nod, unsure if I should talk to him. My parents said not to talk to strangers. "Yes... How do you know my name?" I asked. Instead of an answer, I got a very, awkward hug.
"Aw dang, I missed you!" he said. "It's been a year? Wow, you've changed!"
All I gave him was a confused look. He was taken back by it. I watched him sigh. "Darn... I forgot you didn't remember." he said. He sat down with me. "I'm Anthony."
Anthony. That seemed so familiar. His hair, his eyes, his smile... All so familiar to me. But how?


Bella stopped writing. She badly wanted to finish it, but she sadly used both side of the sheet of paper.
Looking at the slanted writing of hers, she pushed her chair up and started walking over to the teacher. She saw A'ine already there. When she handed it in, she asked, "Excuse me, um, Miss Celeste?" she started, hoping A'ine was finished talking, because it seemed like she did. "I was wondering, if you aren't going to keep the papers, could you hand mine back to me? I didn't know I'd like the story that much, and I used both sides of the paper and... I'd like to finish the story on my own." she asked in her usually quiet voice.


Corwin sighed as he finished up his piece of writing. He wouldn't be comfortable if he had to be reading it to the class, and not because he didn't like talking to others. It was because it was...
"Just stop thinking about that and re-read it! For unicorn's sake!" He sat up straight and started re-reading it.

I was just a little baby. Yes. I was an infant when they left me.
I didn't know the reason why at first. But when the ice dragon told me why, I was infuriated.
My birth parents were considered 'normal'. And I, was apparently considered 'abnormal'. My parents were vain. They had silky white manes and matching coats. They had pure chestnut brown eyes. And, the thing other unicorns marveled most about these two, were their sharp, shining like diamonds, horns.
I was born this way. I wasn't like any of them. When I was born, they were horrified. My coat was raven black, and my horn was shaped like a knife. My mane wasn't as shining, and my eyes... Oh my eyes...

Were red.

I guess that was why my parents were ashamed of me. I was scary. To them at least. Maybe they thought I'd be the shame of the family. They'd be ashamed. They'd wish I was never born... And different from myself. I would be feared. And my parents would be feared too, maybe.
Ah well. I wasn't too proud of myself anyways. The ice dragon told me they were very foolish to let me go. They didn't know they had left me in a dragon cave. And even if they did, they wouldn't care. They wanted me to die. They knew the cave was covered in ice and snow, and thought I'd disappear forever.

I now wonder, maybe they had other children. My siblings. Maybe they look just like them, perfect. Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick. My siblings. Well, maybe my siblings. Maybe I'll get to meet them some day... It'd always seemed nice to have some brothers and sisters.

Maybe one day. Maybe. I'll meet them.

Corwin sigh. A very true story about himself. He couldn't stand his past. His parents. It was all true. He hated his past. Everything he would've had if he'd been 'normal'.
He let out a quiet groan. If he had to read this out loud to the class, he'd practically die. Hopefully he wouldn't need to. Maybe he'll ask the teacher.

(Haha, I'm sorry the stories of theirs are pretty long. I guess I got up with it. :) You don't have to read all of it.)

Loli,

Lily watched as Eniko tried to slow her breathing. She gave her a weak smile, because she was worried about her friend. "No, no. There's no need to be sorry. Being indoors is pretty boring if you ask me." she said. She twirled a strand of her white hair playfully. She looks up and sees the teacher up at his desk. "Hey, he's here!" she said quietly to Eniko, not wanting to be loud, even though you wouldn't hear it because of the noise already inside.

(Mr. Duskrade is here. :) Take a look: https://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=18254&page=52&post#512)

Cian,

Krizia looks at her friend, then waves. "Oh, okay. See you later!" she said. She walked into the room. The room was already packed with noisy fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen year olds. She walked by a seat sitting by herself.


(Ah, phew. That was a lot to write.)

Jora just shook her head. It was nice of Orion to say but she doubted it. Jora thought for a second then remembered something that had happened earlier. "Yes you would have! We were assigned to be partners in class, we would have had to met eventually." She said a little too excitedly and turned back to looking at the front wall blushing. She reached up to touch the little necklace that her mother had made for her but found it to be gone. She checked her hair first then her sleeves. She took a deep breath in. It must have fallen off in the woods when Orion found me... She wasn't about to ask Orion if he saw it and hoped he wouldn't ask her what she lost, it was embarrassing.

@Yin, Desi
Alderic hated that he couldn't finish it so he just erased the last line and decided to call it good. He got up and put it on the desk smiling to the teacher.

A'eda'n hated all the quiet. He turned around in his chair and looked at Serene. "If you don't mind me asking, what did you write about?" He smiled at her, he knew A'ine was going to tease him about talking to Serene but at least she'd have fun doing it.

A'ine smiled to herself crossing her arms over her chest leaning back in her chair a little. Talking to people is a start.... She thought to herself. She was glad A'eda'n was making friends, she smiled when she thought of Ember. Guess I made some friends too...
(All of them are short sorry I can't thinks!)

Orion nodded, blushing when he realized what she said was true. He noticed Jora looking around for something. "What are you looking for?" he asks, guessing it was something important. "Is it lost?" he added, not knowing whether she had just dropped it, or actually lost it. A necklace maybe? She did reach up to her neck when she realized. But that doesn't mean much.... He scanned the floor for anything that she might have lost. All he saw was a few writing implements and scraps of paper. Maybe it was a special pen or pencil? He somehow doubted that since she had Naomi.

Jora looked over out the window, she saw a group of trees but wasn't sure if it was the right group. "Oh it's nothing. I think I know where it is..." She lied a little. It was a little, golden swan on a gold chain with some small rubies in it to make it look like flames. Her mother had told her there was something extra special about it, if Jora was up set she could put her finger on the rubies and they'd turn blue and something else would happen.

"I could help you look if you want," says Orion rather doubtful that she would find whatever it was easy due to the sheer size of the school. He wondered where she thought she lost. If it was in the school, they would have a hard time finding it because it could be easily kicked away in the rush to get to the classrooms, or some could have found it. "Where do you think you lost it?" he asked, hoping she would show it to him if she found it.

Jora shook her head. "No I'll find it..." She doubted it was true but she had to try and there was no point in trying to rope Orion into helping her find it. She kept looking out the window. "So where do you want to draw outside later?" She asked him thinking of a bluff she passed on the boarder of the woods when she first got to the school. She was a little bit nervous about the whole thing, she was scared she might forget how to become monster, it had been a long time.

@Bmr, Desi,
Celeste looked up as a student, A'eda'n, walked up to her and handed her his sheet. She smiled and nodded as a thank you. Another student, A'ine, handed her the paper. She was about to say 'thank you' but A'ine cut in with a question. Celeste, again, was about to peak, but another student with soft pink eyes asked her another question. Celeste knew she wasn't clear with some things, so she stood up and said to the students, "Students, when you are done just simply hand in your sheet to me." she started. "I am going to read them and mark some notes on my own piece of paper. Then I will hand your sheets back to you." she said to everyone with a smile. "We might do a writing project sooner or later." Celeste sat back down and smiled at the two girls, hoping she had answered their questions.

Serene nodded to herself as she finished listening to Ms. Celeste. She looked up at the clock, and then went back to look a her paper. The only things that were written there were her name and the date. She sighed as she randomly came up with something.

The cold bit at her legs. The young pegasus trudged in the large blanket of snow, which she hadn't seen for years. Normally it would rain at this time of year, but no. Snow. It had to be snow.
She was lost. The smartest pegasus everyone knew in the clouds, was lost. She looked around. This place was not familiar to her. But she had only crashed within her parts of the cities of clouds. She had been to all of the forests down below. But this... She had not seen it... Yet.
Jack frost nipped at her snout, causing her to sneeze. She hated the cold. Up in the clouds, it was always clear. She walked weakly past trees and other small animals. They gave her questioned looks, while she, in return, gave them glares with her piercing hazel brown eyes. No hint of kindness shown in them. The animals dashed away, into whatever home they lived in.
The young snow white pegasus was camouflaged into the woods. She muttered quietly to herself, frustrated. "Keep it cool, Adrienna." she said. "You're pretty smart, at least that's what they said. Maybe even smarter than a unicorn! But now, you're lost." The thought angered her. "Darn it! If I hadn't crash landed down here! Stupid stunt." she took a breath, which she saw fog coming from her snout. "Heck, I don't even know this place! It should not exist!" Adrienna sighed. She was the smartest pegasus in the clouds. How could she not know where she was? After some thoughts she cursed under her breath. She knew father would be mad at her for doing so.
A swift rustle in the breeze stopped her from walking in the cold, high snow. She looked around. They trees and bushes were slightly bristling, as if something had ran past there...
Another rustle. Adrienna turned fast, only to find nothing was there. Seriously, what was going on? These woods were bad enough to not be known by her, but know, it was just scary.
She cursed again when another rustle came from behind her. She didn't bother turning around. Maybe it was just a helpless little woodland creature in need of something, probably something she wouldn't have. Adrienna just kept on walking, her hooves crunching in the snow. The woods seemed to get spookier and spookier by the minute. The sky dimmed, the wind picked up, and the darkness around her seemed to have some red eyes watching her. Okay, she knew that was her own imagination. But the one thing she knew right now was that she was being watched.

Serene smiled as she placed the period on her sheet. She had to admit, it was pretty good. She wanted to continue, but she didn't know what would happen next to Adrienna. "Wait." she thought to herself. "Doesn't Bella like to write? Maybe she could help me finish up this story..." The thought excited her. She walked up and handed her sheet to the teacher with no questions asked. She was excited to ask Bella if she could help her.

(Hey Desi, it's no worry. :) I actually really like the stories you came up with for Bella and Corwin. Do you like mine? I know it's really long...)

Bmr, Yin,

Bella nodded as the teacher smiled at her. She gave a quick 'thank you' and headed back for her desk. She saw A'eda'n talking to Serene, and heard A'eda'n ask of what she had written about. Sitting at her desk, she turned to the two. "Yeah! I'd love to know as well!" she quietly whispered, hoping she didn't sound too loud. She blushed when she realized she sounded excited, which wasn't normally like her.

Corwin stood up out of his chair after Ms. Celeste spoke. He handed her his sheet and headed back to his own desk. He saw A'eda'n, Serene, and Bella speaking with each other, their chairs all turned toward Serene. Bella turned her head to see him, and he flashed her a kind smile.
