been reaching out blindly [darrian]

[lil]

There were certain advantages to being kind to everyone. The fact that Lilith wasn't a prefect didn't stop the blue eyed, brown haired senior male from leading her into the secret section of the school reserved for prefects. Once in, Lilith huddled on the floor with the boy across from her, smiling and giggling as they talked. Soon, though, the reminder of work to be done seemed to occur to the brown haired youth. He offered to take Lilith back to her room, telling her it was nearly six now. Lilith politely refused, telling him she wanted to stay a bit longer. He promised to come back.

Lilith leaned back against the wall, closing her eyes as she let her legs extend from their previously bent position. The room felt so silent aside from the dull electronic hum of artificial lighting. And then, real silence. The lights gave out and Lilith was in darkness. Complete darkness, where not even her hand was identifiable. A squeaking sound of surprise escaped her lips as her eyes opened wide. Suddenly gripped with fear, she clumsily rose, her hand against the wall. Next came tripping over a chair, and settling for crawling until she got to the opposite wall where she presumed the door was. With panic rising, Lilith Malixi used the wall to support herself as she stood up and ran her hands along the wall.

"Hello?

[/color]" It was a timid questioning voice that escaped her, but a loud one. "Please...[/color]" This was no time to cry. No time at all. Lilith focused on breathing slowly, deliberately.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

Darrian was doing whatever it is that Darrian does. Which is nothing. He's a Darrian...they don't do much. Darrian was just there sleeping on the couch of the prefect lounge. He wasn't tired per say but, Darrian loved to just stay one place..for hours on end. Darrian was just thinking really. The disappearences were getting under his skin. He didn't even understand why this was happening to him. Why did he have to deal with all of this stupid complaining? He doubted this was real anyways. If it was Seth would have experimented on the thing by now. Seth liked experimenting on "living creatures".

He was one freak of nature alright... Darrian blinked. Wait..THIS IS SETH'S FAULT. He was the leader of the prefects shouldn't he be dealing with this? Maybe because of Seth's incredibly miserable and grump deamnor was why people didn't want to talk to him. He was a frank jerk sometimes and snobbish too. Darrian on the other hand is nice and loved by all. Expect his ex's. Though, that's a whole another story right there. Darrian didn't want to go into the "Ayano thing". She set the west wing on fire because of him.... Anyways Darrian was getting off subject anyways.

"What am I suppose to d-" Darrian said before interrupted by a unknown voice. Darrian didn't know who that was. But it sounded like a girl. A cute girl. Darrian could tell by voices. She was most certainly a 9 at least on the HOT scale. Darrian heard it coming from the prefect hideout. WHo was in there? Darrian hoped it wasn't Seth trying to fool him to cut him open again?.... Just because he has super regeneration abilties..it doesn't give a person the right to cut him open whenever he darn well please! Anyways...yes the voice. Darrian walked towards the door for the secret room. Pressing in the code in the keypad. It wasn't working... That was extremely wierd.

Darrian knew the power was off in there. After going back to grab two flashlights one for him and whoever the other person is. He simply broke open the door Darrian was wayy strong on his open. He was a prefect martial arts training was something he already knew how to do. Darrian starting moving his flashlight back and forth. The light catched a BEAUTIFUL individual. She had brown hair and blue eyes. She was all "WOW" and all "BAM". Well, Darrian liked this girl she looked like a a princess. Darrian eyes lit up like the sun. He ran to her.

"Your knight in shining armor has arrived princess~ Are you okay? I am sorry I took so long. It might be dark but, seeing your face have defintely lighted up my day~" Darrian said handing her a flashlight. Darrian now was in a room with a beautiful girl. Darrian even forgot about asking how the heck she got there... "Sorry for my rudeness. I am Darrian Zenon. Your name is? Let guess sunshine? Just seeing you have lighted up my day" Darrian asked. Darrian needed better lines.... He was seriously striking out lately.

It felt hopeless. But Lilith saw no use in sitting down and letting the things hiding in the darkness draw closer. If she just kept moving and didn't go back, she was safe, right? It was easy to convince herself of that despite how illogical it was. Water rose to her eyes, threatening to cascade down her face any moment if she so much as blinked. Onward she pressed anyway, pausing only when she heard the sound of footsteps nearby. In the darkness it was hard to rationalize that the noises came from outside of the room instead of inside. With this new worry, Lilith turned her attention to the darkness with her back against the wall, as if she would be able to see movement if she watched long enough.

The sound of the door breaking open made Lilith cringe. She turned to the sound instinctively, bracing herself, only to find light being cast into the room. And... a boy. He was moving closer, then holding out a flashlight and telling her sorry, as though he could have known she was scared. Perhaps because of his kindness, or even just relief, Lilith found herself moving even closer to him, tossing her arms around the unfamiliar male's neck in a loose hug as she summed up the courage for words.

"You can call me whatever you want,

[/color]" Lilith murmured softly. "I'm Lilith Malixi. Thanks for saving me, Darrian.[/color]" Letting go and stepping back once she'd spoken, Lilith rubbed her eyes with one hand and looked down at the flashlight being held by the opposite hand, noting with a bit of annoyance that the flashlight trembled as she shivered. Hoping to hide the fact that she'd gotten so scared, Lilith smiled, turning her full attention back to Darrian.

"I... just don't like the dark. I'm okay though. I didn't mean to make you worry, I just sort of panicked. I'm sorry.[/color]" Lilith's smile was certainly weak as she tried to explain away her plea for help and the measures he had to go to. She found herself realizing she wasn't really in danger just because the light was out. Still, seeing Darrian there, the fear was dissipating quickly and without a doubt, it was a relief for Lilith.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

Darrian was so happy. Happiness that he haven't felt in a long time. Her hug was so simple yet elegant. Yet soft. Darrian was loving this he could of stayed in this position for hours. Seriously he could of Darrian...Darrian has practice in staying in one place for hours on end.. This was super cute..I wonder if she's off the market? If not I want some sunshine in my life. "Lilith Malixi? What a beautiful name. Though, I'll call you sunshine. Because whenever I look in your eyes it brightens me up inside. No need to be scared I'll get you outta of here I promise. No problem it is such a reward for a man to save a princess.

I am really happy I had such an honor." Darrian said with a sweet smile but, not to sweet..he didn't want to look strange. Darrian liked this girl. She was nicer than Calista from the first glance. But...Calista is...Calista <3. If she wasn't cold he wouldn't still be crushin her. Darrian had a crush on all her personal and personality traits. Darrian frowned when he heard her declaraction. She didn't like the dark. When Darrian felt now this girl was so cute. Darrian didn't fear much things per say but, he found such a fear cute. He wanted to hug her more~

"Aw it's okay. *hugs her a little tighter* It appears like the power went out in here... That's a very strange thing. It never happens. No need to apologize like I said I am happy to come and be your knight in shining armor sunshine. Anyways like get out of here. You can hold on if you want if your still scared. I want to feel comforted.

Though, there's not need to be scared I will be your light." He said with a bright enlighting smile. He then began guiding her to the entrance. "Just watch your step even though we have flashlights it doesn't brighten up our hold pathway out of here." Darrian said to her trying to follow light from the exit out.

[lil]

Everything felt a bit safer now that Lilith wasn't trapped or alone. But hugging Darrian was reassuring, too, as was the flashlight she was holding tightly still. As Darrian spoke, Lilith's blue eyes remained trained on him, the smile slowly coming more easily to her lips, feeling more natural as she felt the calmness return.

The idea that he was calling her a princess seemed to suddenly occur to her now, leaving her to blush when he stated that it was a reward to save her. Shyly, she glanced away for a brief moment, gathering her thoughts before looking back at Darrian again.

"You're very kind, Darrian.

[/color]" Lilith observed, her tone soft. He did seem like a knight figure, though she wasn't as set on believing she herself was a princess by any stretch.

"Thanks, but, I'm alright now that you're here and I'm not trapped.[/color]" Lilith responded, managing to surprise herself with how cheerful her statement sounded, even to her own ears. She didn't think she felt nearly as happy as she sounded, but she wasn't the least bit bothered to think he might get the wrong impression about her level of fear.

"Mhm, I'll be careful,[/color]" Lilith promised, deciding to contribute to their path by shining her own flashlight more directly at the ground instead of in front of them. Her gaze traveled to the floor, too, as she moved silently with Darrian. She didn't reach out for him, but she did stay within a few steps of him, unwilling to let him out of her sight in the darkness.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

[darrian5]

Darrian started to smirk when he saw her blush. It was like a fire being set under his heart. She was just so cute. Darrian was sooo happy. It has been awhile since a girl has made him blush or nervous in any way. Calista did but, she seemed more interested in some dude lately from what he had been hearing. Who was more awesomer than Darrian? Maybe people were mistaking him for Seth. Seth was usually around Cali alot."Hehe, your cute. Blushing is the color of virtue. Seeing such a wonderful sight is a good reward surely. Thank you for rewarding with something so beautiful."

Darrian said with a small blush of his own. Darrian didn't blush. At least in his mind he didn't. No girl never makes the hottest of hot blush. The manly of manly man. The greatest of the great of flirts blush. Never ever. It was a allergic reaction to the dust in the air. Yeah,..that was what Darrian was thinking.

"Kind? Not really. It's normal for anyone to rescue a stranger that's in trouble. Isn't it? Besides like I said. I am one the one who's getting a honor rescuing a princess. Besides kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see. It is one of the only things in this world everyone can feel." Darrian responded as he continued to lead her back into the light. Wait........Darrian never asked how she got in here. Or WHO LET HER IN THERE?! IT HAD TO BE A PREFECT! Wait...who was she ALONE WITH?! Darrian was now wondering what exactly lead this girl to be trapped in there..

"That's good. And I am super happy your here with me also. We are nearly out." Darrian said when his eyes met the exit out of there. Darrian then took a gaze into Lilith's deep blue eyes. Darrian eyes blinked. This is aboslutely ridiculous!! Could it be POSSIBLE?! THIS GIRL..eyes...are better than Cali's?!!! Sure Calista's are smoking hot but, they are darker. BUT THIS GIRL'S EYES ARE JUST...WOW. Calista's eyes are more normal.. Lilith's eyes were more bow chika wow wow.

Just the way she looks at you... Darrian became to get a headache. Mostly from hotness overload. Once he turned away from her there was the exit. "Yeah, look we are one more step we are infront the exit. And one other thing. Did anyone ever tell you your eyes are blue rubies? I am kinda stunned....but, anyways let's get out of here." Darrian said then lead Lilith out.

[lil]

"Yeah, uhm, thank you. That's really nice of you to say.

[/color]" Lilith raised her free hand to rub her cheek as though she could make the blush vanish by the act, or sheer desire for it to be gone. It didn't have that effect- it didn't have much of an effect at all, truthfully. After a moment her hand dropped back to her side, the blush still lingering, renewed by Darrian's comments and his smirk. He did look rather handsome when he smirked. Maybe there was more than she expected to the rumors about him. It was hard not to know who he was, and it was hard not to feel a little nervous about saying the wrong thing. She stole a glance up at him, catching in the dim light that he, too, was blushing. Lilith smiled to herself.

"I don't think I'm a princess. I mean, if I was, I don't think I'd have my powers or be here, meeting you. Being common's worth the chance to meet great people.[/color]" Lilith murmured, her tone still giving away the shyness she wished she could hide. Clutching the light tighter, Lilith raised it higher, watching the beam for any signs of danger or the exit he said was near. Her attention related to the task was fleeting, leaving her to turn her gaze to him with a small grin and to tilt the flashlight slightly downward once again, to capture what it had before she lifted it.

As they came to the exit, Lilith was just about to tell him thank you after he announced they'd reached their destination. Relief settled into her expression. And then, it was replaced by geniune surprise. Her eyes widened slightly, her lips parting in a less-than-attractive show of the tips of her white teeth, and, for several moments, she gave up on breathing, much less speaking. Stunned? Had he really just said stunned? Regaining her composure enough to bit her lip and step out of the prefect lounge, Lilith cast her eyes to the floor, her cheeks brightening with the blush she thought she'd just gotten rid of.

"Someone as handsome as you can't possibly be surprised, much less stunned by me.[/color]" Lilith insisted quietly. Looking down had sent the black strands of hair down into her eyes, so she swept it aside with one of her fingers, tucking it behind her ear as she stared intently at the flashlight, switching it off with the hand holding it.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
