Yummei, Lacene, & Athena

OOC: I feel like i killed the thread :/ anyone else have an idea <3

Yummei nodded with agreement and said, " Well, since we're done down here we should probably go back upstairs. Oh and Athena you'll probably want to let the other teachers know about the crack in the wall where the shell-datas got in." They started toward the staircase that takes them all the way back to the third floor. As Yummei was going up the stairs, she tripped and fell forward. Grabbing out for the wall she dropped her lantern, which flew back and hit Athena in the face pushing her into Lacene. They tumbled down the stairs until they hit the door.

Athena suddenly got smashed in the face with a lantern that came out of nowhere, shoving her into Lacene & all the way down the staircase as they bashed into the door at the bottom. "Sorry Lacene, didnt expect that one" Athena said grimmly. "It's not being bashed in the face that irritates me, its HAVING CLIMB ALL THESE DANG STAIRS AGAIN!!!" she yelled the last part so Yummei would here. She was glad Kuja was ahead of Yummei because it would have uscked to have such a large data come crashing down on her all the way down the stairs. Athena ran as quick as she could to catch up to Yummei. She pulled of some of her armor, on her arms & shoulds, & tied them in a cloth & tossed it over Kuja like a saddle bag so she wouldn't have to carry it. After reaching Yummei they all walked out the door into the 3rd floor hallway. As they walked in Athena saw someone wearing a long hooded robe that went to the floor. The person ran down the hall & just turned the corner and vanished as Athena saw him, making her wonder if she really saw him. When he turned the corner she caught a glimpse of his face. he was a white male, with jet black shaggy hair. As he turned he smiled, exposing fangs. She could have swore he was smiling directly at her. She turned & hey Yummei you saw that totally hot babe to right??? Please tell me you did & that I didn't just imagine him."

Yummei had just seen the guy down the hall before he vanished around the corner when Athena asked her. "Yeah I saw him too," she said with a smile on her face. "He was totally hot." She glanced over at Athena and they exchanged a knowing smile before taking off after the hot guy. Lacene looked at them with a confused look on her face before following them down the hallway.

As Athena was running down the hall she realized one important detail. There was only one hot guy & two girls after him *maybe even 3 but she couldn't tell how Lacene felt about the hooded stranger* Athena quickly took advantage of the fact that Yummei hadn't put this together & took the lead!

Apparently Athena was so excited for the guy she forgot all about lacenes hurt leg & the blood, but she was booking it now & didn't look back.

Athena had taken the lead as they were running after the hooded stranger, so Aviette decided to quicken her pace. As they rounded the corner Aviette caught up to Athena, they saw the hooded guy at the end of the hallway. They glanced at each other before continuing down the hallway. When they glanced back towards the hooded stranger he was gone.

AFTER THAT HOTTIE!!!" Athena shouted embaressingly bluntly. as an after thought she hoped no one else heard her & she wished she hadnt shouted that at all. Her cheeck turned red as the thought about how ridiculous she sounded, but regardless she chased down the hall after the hooded stranger.

Yummei laughed at Athena's outburst but yelled back, "YEAH!!!!" She followed Athena in her chase of the hooded stranger. They ran down the hallway to the spot where they had last seen him. Glancing around Aviette saw a door open, "Athena," she said, "through there, the door is still open."

Athena nodded back and laughed as well. "Through the door it is." she said as she ran ahead and did a slide through the door & into whatever room they just went in. She heard Aviettes foot steps entering but she was to distracted to look. The hood stranger was smiling his toothy smile again & was staring her in the eyes, Athena felt like he was into her very soul & all she could do is smile a stupid fangirl face back at him. He glanced up at Yummei entering the room & pulled his hood slightly down in a curt nod, much as you would do with a hat, and he slipped behind a shelf unit out of site.

Yummei smiled as the hodded stranger nodded at her before slipping behind a shelf unit. Her and Athena walked towards the shelf unit he had disappeared behind. As they reached the shelf, they went around and looked behind it. What they saw they had not expected. There was a secret passage behind the shelf.

The secret passage way behind the shelf look dark & creepy but all Athena could say is "We're going & if you scream once my fist is going straight to your face. I don't like screamers." she said as she was covering this just incase Yummei scared easy. "Let's go in." she added as she looked at Yummei & walking through the secret passage. It was a short dark hall that led to a cozy room with a bright red velvet sofa & a fire place. their was a small round dark cherry wood table infront of the sofa with two wine goblets on it. Upon entering the room Athena smelled blood. She believed it was coming from the goblets & gave yummei a quick warning not to drink it. At the smell of blood she was reminded that Lacene was hurt. "LACENE" she yelled. "I totally forgot." she glanced around and couldn't find her. She hoped she was on the way & close by enough to find them. As she continued to glance she saw the hooded strange pass right through the wall just like a ghost. The room was a dead end so she didn't know were to turn at the moment but she looked at Yummei & said "I'm sure it was just magic he used to go through the wall. Its not like hes a ghost or anything." She hoped Yummei didn't remember that Access members lost their powers on halloween. So if this guy wasnt a ghost it was very likely he could be haven. normally this would make athena's spine tingle but he was just to hot to consider that.

Glancing around the room Yummei said, "Maybe there's another secret passage...I mean it's highly unlikely that he can just walk through walls. Lets check it out." Yummei slowly walked around the room looking for any sign of a secret passage. She glanced back toward Athena and saw that she was doing the same. After going around the entire room, which didn't take very long because it was small, Aviette went back to the wall that the hooded stranger had disappeared into. It was brick which wasdifferent from the other walls in the room. She quickly started running her hand across the wall, until one of them pushed back. The wall slid back far enough for a person to fit through the opening.

Athena went over to Yummei & said "Wow you found it! amazing!" she praised yummei & clapped her hands together all giddy like & smiled. When she thought Yummei wasnt looking she gave a worried glance back towards the blood in the goblets. She thought about the hooded strangers fangs & hoped he wasn't a vampire, even though she had been told those don't exist & she had only heard about them in books.

"That was cool!" Yummei said as Athena was clappnig her hands. Yummei walked into the passage, glancing back she saw Athena looking at the goblets. "You coming Athena?" she questioned before continueing down the dark passage.

"umm... y-yeah" Athena studdered as she realized Yummei saw her pondering the goblets, but she brushed off the though & followed yummei into the hallway, which looked considerable less scary then the last. Actually now that Athena thought about it, this hall somehow felt warm & inviting & their was a cinamon spice smell in their air that was enticing, but their was something else laced with that scent, however it was to mixed up she couldn't distinguish what it was. The smell was growing stronger as they went deeper in the tunnel.

Yummei smelled something awesome!!! CINAMON!!!!!!! "OMG I LOVE CINAMON" Yummei said over her shoulder to Athena. They raced down the hallway, Yummei could see the light up ahead. They made a mad dash for the light. At the end of the tunnel was a large room, with bookshelves all around and a couch on the far wall. Sitting on the couch was the hooded stranger they had been chasing. He glanced up as they ran in and flashed an amazing smile.

The strange hooded figure looked at the two girls. As he was smiling he brushed his hood back to reveal his perfect gorgeous face & said in his smooth tone "please have a seat" as he gestured to a loveseat sofa directly across from him, since he was lounging across most of the couch.
"OMFG HE TALKED!!! Yummei! "athena fan griled hitting yummei in the shoulder, "HE TALKED HE REALLY TALKED & HIS VOICE.....HIS VOICE IS SEXY!!!!!" "And he's not a vampire at all, he's just playing dressup. He's has a pulse i can hear it. But those fangs are real. I wonder what he is." She thought to herself.

Yummei lightly smacked Athena and shushed her. Walking over to the couch she glanced at the gorgeous guy sitting across from them before sitting on the loveseat with Athena. "So," Yummei said, "why the random secret passageways?"

"Well how else would i lure you to Havens secret room within the walls. Someone would have noticed if I killed you in the middle of the halls, & we wouldn't want that now would we" he said with a slightly evil chuckle. For some reason Athena felt like this guy had just said what she was thinking so she wasnt shocked that he said this. But she didn't know whether to believe him or not. So she looked to Yummei to see her epxression & thoughts on what this guy just said.

"No way," Yummei said glancing at Athena, "Your way to hot to be haven!!!"

"you're right Yummei. Those ugly Ba***rds dont have a chance at catching jail bait this hot!" she said with a smirk. So who are really mister. You've played vampire long enough. I know those are just childrens stories. Now fess up & confess how you went through that wall & who you are." or I'll have to punish you, you bad boy Athena added with a smile XP

"D**m straight Athena! And fess up or I'll have to play teacher for a while and punish you as well

Lacene grunted when Athena smashed into her. She winced and listened to Athena yell. She was about to offer to fly her up the stairs when she just jumped up and ran up the stairs. She sighed and flew up them. Her wings producing her faerie dust as she went when she got up the stairs she looked at the male in confusion. She felt nothing when seeing him but she would admit he was a handsome one but she was naïve and didn't get crushes easily. She watched as they both agreed on seeing him. She sighed about to tell Athena to say focused and on task but she ran before she could. Growling lightly as her leg started to hurt more. She winced and looked down at her fragile limb it was already purple from bruising but now because of the dirty teeth of the shell data her wound was now pussing angrily. She knew it would be bad if she didn't get it treated soon but Athena and Yummei needed to come to their senses. But they had left her behind. She frowned. Some partners they were. She decided to fly along until she found them or someone to help her with her wound.

Normally Athena would have stayed with her group no matter what. She was a dedicated partner, which is why she made a good teacher. But something in the air seemed to be controling her. As if it dulled all other senses that didn't focus on the guy infront of her. She thought carefully on what to do about him, but she couldn't think of anything. She glanced over at Yummei & decided she wouldn't be much help. Maybe someone else could, she thought to herself. She looked around & didn't see anyone else. She thought something was missing, like someone else should be there, but she just couldn't put her finger on it............

Lacene whistled to herself as she flew, this place was way too eerie. Really. Why would there be such a creepy basement anyway. And she thought hunting ghosts was stupid. Honestly, hunting ghosts was for little kids hoping to get some adrenaline pumping in their veins. She sighed and let her mind wander. After awhile she came to a library she looked around for bandages and rubbing achohol to clean it. When she hunted enough she found a medical kit. 'Jackpot!' . She grinned happily at her find. Sitting up on a shelf she toke a deep breath as she held the rubbing achohol over the wound. Preparing for the burning and mind numbing stings. When she poured it on the wound she couldn't help but scream, she kicked her other leg against the shelf as the liquid cleansed the wound making it bubble. Using a cloth she wiped away the puss and bubbles. She toke out a bandage from the kit and made quick work of her leg. Sighing in relief after the wound felt somewhat clean. During all this she failed to notice the secret entrance that was carelessly left wide open.
