Another school day, another bright sunny morning that Ely despies. The light meant goodness, wholeness and perfection in her mind, nothing her life contained. Nonetheless, she walked happily to school, taking a different route to the school enterance. This morning she walked through the parking lot, but little did she know, having a tattoo, long pink hair and summer clothing would be such a disadvantage.
Elwynn bounced down the half full parking lot and spotted a few Hircine students near their car, chatting amongst themselves. She smiled a little, her two pigtails rested on her shoulders, revealing half of her back since she was wearing a halter top. Light blue faded jeans and large 'Roxy' belt rested on her hips. Whistling a happy tune she walked past the boys and continued forward. Yet, the boys gave knowing glance at one another and walked along side of her.
"Hey doll, wanna hang with us?" one asked placing a hand on her shoulder to stop her from moving.
Elwynn stopped smiling, a emotionless glare found it's way onto her face as she directed it at the boy. "I don't want your hand on me." she growled as he traced the tip of the angel wing tattoo.
"Why not? Don't be shy now..." the others chuckled as they advanced and circled around her.
With on quick fluid motion she flipped around making sure her pigtails slapped some of the boy's faces and with both arms grabbed the boy who traced her tattoo's arm. She pulled his arm towards the ground quickly and harshly while sweeping a leg underneath, hoping to knock him over. The others soon grabbed her by her tiny shoulders, and had her in a headlock.
Ely grabbed the man's arm and moved her neck to the elbow joint where there was small space allowing her to breathe. For now that was all she could do, her kicks were not helping her rid her of the 'yucky' boys' arms.
"What now doll?" the boys smirked.
"I'm not your doll!" she snapped back, revealing that she was not being choked. "Oh shoot..."

For the first time in his days here, Raphael came up with a small philosphy of his own. 'They say we are vermin, That we are trash. But yet they act the same way WE do...so tell me....Are we ALL related?'. HE spent a quiet day on the roof top of Hircine, and looked down. His eyes were particularly on the parking lot, where he saw a girl getting harassed. Raphael began to non-chalantly walk down the stairs and halls of the high school and straight to the parking-lot. His back was slightly hunced and his mood was silent. He was like a snake crawling through a thicket of tall grass. He had made his way toward the scene where the poor woman was being tormented. He kept on his approach. He was now a few inches from the boy. And he simply tapped his shoulder and waited for the boy to turn around. Once the boy turned his head, His Left would meet the boy's jaw.

Soon enough they grabbed her legs and tried to shove her into their blue car. With her skirmming around and shouting, it was hard not to have other students notice. And thank GOD they found out. A boy around 6'0" or maybe a bit shorter came and punched one of the boys out. With her legs freed, she managed to borrow the fact that her hands are held and flipped her lower body over and kicked them in the face.
The boys groaned in pain from getting their faces kicked in. Not a lot of force was put into the kick but it still did the trick of surprising them!
"Thanks." she said nodded towards the boy gratefully.

"They say...we are scum...they say we are vermin....they say we are trash..that we are all mental patients....that we..Varronites don't belong here....well....They're wrong...We are ALL the same..." he said in a silent voice. unbeknownst to him, this woman was right next to him, and probably heard all that he said. He decided to take a short look at her. This woman was very slender, and very flexible. its sad a girl like her had to have such a bad thing happen in her day. But as in Varron city, you'll be finished if you do not act quickly. "Yeah..." he said.

"They say...we are scum...they say we are vermin....they say we are trash..that we are all mental patients....that we..Varronites don't belong here....well....They're wrong...We are ALL the same..."
Ely knew what he meant, she had talked to a boy earlier from Varron as well, that these...'Varronites' were not welcomed here. Although in her mind, even though everyone has a bad past, they should not be judged from what they used to do, but what they do now. Everyone should be accepted, and no one should be judged too quickly. Actions viewed through opinionated eyes, so we overall, we cannot say some things are wrong or right...right?
Ely sighed and decided to ignore his comment, and decided to ask him his name, he did help and surely he would be kind enough to tell her more about the school.
"So...what's the name of my hero?" she joked.

This girl seemed a bit sadened by her ordeal, cause she has the appearance of someone perky. He had heard her request for his name. Names...the identity of a human being. without a name, we are nothing, we are unknown. Raphael did not want his name known to anyone yet, but yet he was beggining to like this girl. So he searched the deepest Regions of his mind for something. Thats when he rememberd..his title...His alias...his "Name". It was something he wanted to forget, to leave it back in Polermo Italy...but it was the only name he knew himself as. "My name....is 'Morte*'"
(ooc: Morte: Death)

Ely repeated his name, it rolled off her tongue as it if it came naturally, as if it were her mothertongue, or maybe it was just pure luck she pronounced it correctly. "Morte..." she repeated to herself, and in the depths of her mind her curiousity lingered and tried to claw it's way out of her mouth to ask him what his name meant...then again, she never let such emotions take over. "...interesting. I'm Elwynn Yue Hua. But just call me Elwynn or Ely for short." she said with a small smile.
How she loathed her smile. It was just a fascade, something to hide behind. Pretending was a talent cursed upon her life. Also viewed as someone else, and just look how well she has gotten at acting.
"Well, thank you Morte."

I'm Elwynn Yue Hua. But just call me Elwynn or Ely for short." "such a nice name..." he said in a kinder tone. This girl was certainly a peculiar woman, she seems so different, like Yin and Yang are swiling inside of her very fast. "Indeed..it is a pleasure to save you...and if you really dont wanna smile..then don't...i don't mind." HE said before turning around and walking away very slowly. He wanted to see what this girl would do next.

Ely narrowed her eyes at her 'savior', he was observant and was one of the few people that could see that she was hiding under a mask. Morte had turned around and walked away slowly. She had an urge to just follow him, to ignore his keen observation, yet she was intrigued. 'How did he know?' she would wonder, but her cold exterior that used to grace her features returned.
"It is part of me now, nothing is real. It's all an act..."she trailed off walking towards his direction.

And so the curious moth heads for the light. So she began taking an interest in him. It's time for a small lecture for this woman, since she already opened up alittle for him."If your going to pretend in life...don't do it every signle day...because the persona you pretend as is like glue, you keep it on too long and it sticks to you for ever." He looked behind and saw her and continues on. "One day when i thought i found love...it was all a lie..." He said in a morbidly tone. "I looked happy, i looked perky...i looked normal....I was a fool..." HE stopped and looked at her deeply. "It is better to be your trueself...then a doll...." he said siletnly, letting it go into her ear. This wasent ment to be an insult, but lets see how Ely takes it.

He was right. Yet, she knew it was already too late. This mask has became a part of her now, and it cannot be erased or washed away in a single night. Ely laughed bitterly at his words. 'A doll...he's absolutely right' she thought with a snort.
"I suppose you know how I feel then...to pretend to be someone else for the ones you love..."she said clenching her fist at the thought of her parents. "It is already too late for me, it's part of me now, I never really knew who I was like. I started pretending and forced to be someone when I was just a toddler. My thoughts and values had not matured yet, so now, it's just...gone." she whispered into the soft wind that blew through their hair.

Now she admitted to herself and him that she did pretend, but for too long and now this Persona was her cursed mask, Her Iron mask, Her prison. She never knew herself, she never once made a single thought, She never had a chance to 'Grow'. He saw the wind go through her hair. Some got onto her face. He walked closely to her, and with one hand he brushed away the hair and stroked her cheek gently and spoke softer. "Its never too late to search yourself. Search deeply into the confines of your mind...and rescue yourself from the Prison that is your human mind and heart....My True self...sort to speak of...was locked away for 19 Long years....and i was still able to break the "Psyche locks" that confined myself...and im sure you can break yours as well..." HE said, His tone was completely reassuring and truthful.

Her grey-blue eyes followed the hand that brushed the stray hair away, and looked at Morte whom had stroked her cheek. His words were strong, convincing and was reassuring. The softness of his tone made Ely fight back tears for she remembered when her family members had spoke in such a heart warming tone.
Its never too late to search yourself. Search deeply into the confines of your mind...and rescue yourself from the Prison that is your human mind and heart....My True self...sort to speak of...was locked away for 19 Long years....and i was still able to break the "Psyche locks" that confined myself...and im sure you can break yours as well..."
She cast her gaze away from his face, ashamed, ashamed of having this mask. "I can't. My family members cannot deal with another lost, they...are ill, and I must pretend for them. With your words I am sure I'll be able to do some soul searching yet, I cannot be selfish..." A stray tear rolled down her cheek and her eyes widened in shock as it fell onto her hand.
'Why am I crying?' she thought.

He touched her, not physically, but emotionally. A stray tear went down her cheek. HE then heard of her parents and why she must pretend for them. Raphael would feel bad for this, but he needed to help her. "Are you sure..your the one being selfish?..." he said in his normal tone. "Are you sure...that it is because of them...that you have this curse upon you?"
(ooc: short...please PM me with Details pertaining of her parents please?)

((All done Sir Raph! *salutes* xD Oh and read bio for further details *points towards the link*))
What he said had stunned her, then again, once she thought about it, her parents are mentally ill. They were traumatized and was pulled into depression and almost a suicidal state of mind. Why did she not put them into the hospital? She was too young to understand, all she could do was hold on to the only solution she could have, to pretend to be her sister Marissa.
"It is because of them, yet I cannot...hurt them, I do not wish that they face the same fate as Marissa." she said softly, "my sister."

"They are only hurting themselves more..by creating a false Reality where only your sister exists....and not 'You'" He said in a nonchalant tone of voice. It was time he had awakend the Ely inside of her. "What your parents are doing IS more selfish then you think you are. I don't know how perfect this Marissa Girl is, But it is obviously unfair to you. Where is Marissa that yopu speak of? it be best that i interview her and have her input on this..." he said sternly.

Ely surprised by how quickly Morte had matched the pieces of her past together. How she revealed her parents are mentally ill and compared her to her sister, a tragic loss and her mask. It all made sense in his mind, and he formulated a little story, probably truly alike to her own, with all the facts. Yet, he asked a question, just to make sure...
"My sister is dead." she replied morbidly, her lips pursed in deep thought. " That is why I can't let my parents undergo another loss, because I'm their Marissa now." Her eyes held frustration and anger that had been hidden for years.

"So my Intuition and knowledge are correct. it is mostly because i watch movies that relate to this..." HE said alittle jokingly. But his seriousness returned and his tone more definitive. "Your parents must learn to LET GO...If not, then they're only hurting themselves plus you. you must open your parents eyes and break the chain of sorrow. If not, then that sorrow turns to insanity, and both of you will suffer. you're probably gonna ask 'Will you help me?' And the thing is..i can't...only you and your will to help them can....im not trying to break you or your parents...im only trying to break the sorrowful chain that binds all of you..." he said with his eyes closed.

Elwynn sighed, she did not know how she was burdened with this task, but she knew her parents needed help and now there was no excuse. She had her own mind, and is mature enough to seek advice, and guidance from a pyschologist or someone whom she could consult with.
"I know that Morte, I'll see what I can do, I'll see you around in school, there's something I must do. Thanks for your help." she said nodding once more and headed towards the direction of the school enterence.
((Sorry about short post, but yeah...xD))

"W-w-wait..!" he said. His hand grabbed for her shoulder. It wasent tight, nor was it loose. It was gentle. He turned her around carefully and looked at her deeply in the eyes and spoke softly..and gently. "Your a wonderful and magnificent girl ive ever laid eyes upon...it would be very depressing..." He said. He then shifted to Ely's left and his mouth was 'sensually' close to her ear. His words came out from his mouth, which was followed by warm breath with mint in it. "If you disappeared..."
