Message (Aubrey/Open)

[Matrim Gallagher]

What to do... what to do... what to do about this week ass school and all of it's horribly weak students..... I am beginning to think Lina had it all right, the students need me to be harsh on them, they need to get their asses kicked so they can learn to fend for themselves. Matrim won't be around all the time to protect them... and Beta won't fight... and I sure as hell ain't saving no weaklings....

Matrim was in the school wearing jeans and a black hoodie. It may have been warm weather but he wanted to wear layers, mostly because they comforted him and he took whatever comfort he could find after everything that happened. He was thinking about what he wanted to do, and he still didn't know. He wanted to take a break from it all, maybe he'd give the title back to her....

Can we trust her with it?

Of course we can, don't be retarded Beta.

Matrim was sitting on a bench as he contemplated this, he got up and started to walk forward when he was approached by a group of four students, "You look a little weak School Captain, how about you just hand your title over? Wouldn't want to have to kick your a-"

The boys sentence was interrupted when Matrim shot his right fist into the boys face, breaking his nose on impact and sending the boy back onto his back as Matrim looked at the other two. One turned to run and the other remained frozen in fear, Matrim reached out and grabbed the kid by the collar of his shirt with his left hand, raising the kid into the air.

"Make sure when you're buddy here wakes up he knows that I was holding back immensely," Alpha was happy to be in control. More than happy, he was completely ecstatic about it. Nothing gave him more ecstasy than putting some chump in their place.

"Y-y-yeah, su-sure th-thing Matrim!" Matrim released the kid and began to walk on, looking around at anybody who was watching as he left the scene.

"Pitiful...." He said, and looked at some of the nearby spectators, "Anybody else have a problem with me? Does anybody else want to take the title? I didn't think so.... weaklings...."

[Aubrey Seran]

bright blue eyes glistened in the day's sun as the petit girl made her way across the school's campus. Co-Ed schools were certainly different than an all girl's system. She hadn't seen so many boys before! She had seen quite abit of boys, but not never all in one place all at once. A few whistles were directed her way, but it would seem to be regular American behaviour, along with the fact she was wearing a skirt that was a little above mid thigh. Many females here seemed to wear jeans often, but Aubrey was not a fan.

Aubrey's books were tucked in her arms and hugged tightly to her chest as she saw a rather large male punch another in the face. He gained momento in the air and a third party member escaped the scene as the second was lifted from the ground. There was a harsh tone within the boy's voice. Luckily he set him down without harming him. He began to walk away, but made clear no one would mess with him again.

Yes, indeed Co-Ed schools were different. Boys were clearly, very violent. Aubrey picked up her pace, keeping a smile on her face while trying to keep up with the boy's stride.

<< Excusez-moi ? >> out came her accented words. "May I ask kindly why that boy had been punched in the face?" nothing in her tone was marked as sarcastic or harsh, for she didn't find communication through hate necessary, she just wanted to find out what would have angered the fell to that extent.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"Because I thought he could use a few less teeth...." Alpha said, having been the one behind the wheel in this situation. He looked over to the girl who had a french accent and even spoke in french. Matrim could understand quite a bit of the language, in fact he knew almost all European languages at a conversational level. He didn't feel like speaking anything but English, and his British accent was long gone given the amount of time he spent in Japan and in Alaska before finally coming to California.

"So Frenchie, whats your name? You seem to be new here, and you clearly don't know how this school is ran or who I am. If you did, you would probably understand a bit more." He wouldn't tell her anymore until he got an answer from her or at least a response of some sort. He liked to hear himself talk sometimes being slightly conceited, sure, but he wouldn't be dumb enough to babble on for minutes on end after asking the girl a question he wanted to hear the answer to.

Hope she's ready for this school.... lots of strong people with bad attitudes. She's exactly the type of person Matrim loves to protect. What she really needs is to learn how to handle herself and not rely on someone else for protection. Maybe I should instill a little fear in this girl, or maybe I could just scare her a little so that she either transfers out or learns to get tougher.... oh well.... I guess I'll just figure out her story first.

[Aubrey Seran]

When the boy spoke, it was clear she should have just let him go. Something must have been troubling him of the sort. Though Aubrey had not found it "nice" for this boy to knock out the other's teeth, just because he felt like it. The girl's smile disappeared when he had spoke these words and her blue eyes looked to the ground, as if searching for a saviour.

Then he made a few off comments about her nationality and asked for her name.

"désolé, I should not have bothered you. My name Is Aubrey, and you are right, I do not know how this school is run." Violence did not answer anything, or to get mad at this fellow. Though she couldn't do anything in her power to turn him away from it, he seemed too heated at the moment. Aubrey couldn't change who people were.

Though this was the first mean American she had met, though she was sure there were more to come. Especially when he stated how the school was "run". The school board allowed inadequate behaviour from it's students?

"Um, pleased to meet you...?" she held out her hand for him to shake. She usually tried getting people in better moods, by putting everything aside and looking at the brighter outlook. It usually works for Gabriel, but this guy definitely was not Gabriel. Offering a hand shake may have been pushing it, but at least she put her French customs aside and didn't kiss either cheek.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"Yeah, yeah, pleased to meet you too..." Matrim said quickly shaking her hand before returning it back to his side. He took another good look at her trying to figure out what she was doing here, but first he would teach her a little bit about the school. Talking was more Beta's thing, but Alpha would have to handle this one, "Basically fighting will take place all around you, so be ready. Students here tend to solve every problem with their fists. In fact, I run this place because of that. The School Captain, the kid who basically runs the school, yeah that's me. The only way I can lose that title is by being beaten in a fight or by giving it up to someone else."

He turned and started walking, waving the girl to follow him as he kept walking. He figured the girl was more than capable of walking even if she was carrying a bunch of books. And while Matrim had his hands free, there was no way in hell Alpha was going to help this girl with her books, "Makes no difference if you're a boy or a girl in this school, fighting is just sort of the norm. We pillars, that is to say myself, Linda the Varsity Captain, and Damien Kross the Director of Media, we run the place and try to keep the fighting to a minimum."

Matrim stopped only shortly in front of a door to a school building, opening the door and allowing her to go in first if she wanted to, "Simply put, this is a good day. So, do you have any friends or family at this school?"

Matrim wanted to know this, because if she was alone she would have a hard time. But if she had family members or possibly a friend that Matrim knew she might just make it here and land on her own two feet. If she didn't have anyone Beta would most likely try and make an appearance or two to help this girl out.

Don't even think about it, B.

[Aubrey Seran]

He greeted her with little recognition, but motioned for her to follow him as he walked along. She kept back a little, for he had longer legs, and he was intimidating so it was best to keep her distance. At least he was kind enough to tell her aobut the school and introduce himself, along with others and what position they held in the school.

According to him, he ran the school, and so the teachers didn't? And odd enough title. They keep fights from spreading? Well, it didn't seem like it when he punched out the boy, or the fact of getting the title was to fight for it. Controdictory indeed.

"I haven't had the chance to meet anyone yet, but I am here staying with a cousin." she smiled. At least she would have Gabriel explain everything she was learning now later. She would trust his advice over this guy. After all, she was sure Gabriel didn't like to punch random people. "He was kind enough to let me stay with him after I baffled my parents with an unexpected route to my new home."

Taking this as a way to getting to know each other, she asked him the same question, "You have family and friends?" who knows, maybe having a title like that could be lonely or could have costed him friends, after all it seemed violent.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"I haven't had the chance to meet anyone yet, but I am here staying with a cousin. He was kind enough to let me stay with him after I baffled my parents with an unexpected route to my new home. You have family and friends?"

"I...." He was losing his anger, his aggression. But he forced it by remembering it, one of the memories that really set him off. A recent one.... "Be careful with your family. You see? There are some people in this school who come along with a real taste for destruction... people who let their ambitions get in the way of making intelligent decisions. Him for example..... a kid who goes here you should be weary of... he threatened my pregnant fiance's life.... she was nearly killed that day......"

The truth was that Reira died soon later from child birth, he wondered if anything Gabriel did caused that to happen. But the kid was a monster, and Alpha was given permission to kill him whenever he saw fit. The second he came across Gabriel Seran, he would end his life. That was for certain.

"So, who's this cousin of yours? I might know them, I'll be able to tell you if they are strong and who their friends are. That way you know who you can count on if you need help, and you'll know who you should probably steer clear of. Like I said, in a fighting school like this, enemies of your cousin might target you to get to him."

[Aubrey Seran]

She didn't necessarily like the fact he just warned her about her family. He was in no position to give any advice about how her family was and how they acted as people. She will eventually ask Gabriel about Matrim soon.

"My cousin is Gabriel. You don't need to worry about him, he is a good guy, with good intentions." she didn't want Matrim thinking Gabriel was some bad guy. Gabriel was a care free guy that gets over protective, he is opposes bad nature. Like a Super Hero.

"And how come you have not told me about your family? Seems fair if you answered me aussi." the wind picked up, blowing in her eyes, making her squint up at the broad teenager. Maybe she had hope in getting him to look on a better outlook in life. See the happiness you can recieve if he were to do good. She smiled and nudged him with her elbow.

"We can talk about it over some coffee?" her charming smile bloomed on her small face, giving it a new glow.

[Matrim Gallagher]

"My cousin is Gabriel. You don't need to worry about him, he is a good guy, with good intentions."

It's HIS Cousin.... HIS COUSIN!

I.... I don't approve Alpha... don't even think about it!

Burn her.......

"And how come you have not told me about your family? Seems fair if you answered me aussi. We can talk about it over some coffee?" She said, and Alpha and Beta struggled for control over the body. Matrim could only smile sadly as he thought about Reira.

"My wife is dead.... that's why I haven't mentioned it. But.. I have a baby boy...." Matrim said, Beta taking over slightly, but only slightly as Alpha came in with a rush of strength. He was now back in control, his right hand shot out to grab Aubrey by the neck, if he got a good hold he would grip down on it tightly, "I'm not sure about coffee, but I have a message for your cousin.... a thank you of sorts for ATTACKING REIRA AND BLOWING UP A SCHOOL BUILDING!"

Matrim's feet remained in the same spot when he did this, charging his Qi. Luckily the girl would be well in range since she had gotten close enough to nudge him with her elbow.

ALPHA! LET HER GO! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT USING QI ON HER!

[Gabriel Seran]

(ooc: permission to use Aubrey for this post, i give you permission to say he caught me by the neck)

*earlier that day*

Gabriel loomed about the house watching over his cousin carefully with a certain weary look. He'd worried for her though there was always some way of losing his cousing if he put too much pressure on her. There had to be a way for her to enjoy her stay while he kept an eye on her.

"James, Please keep an eye on Lady Aubrey for the time being call me if anything comes up..."

"Yes my lord!" The servent returned an obedient nod before following after her.

"And remember stay hidden..." he called after in a smooth tone.

*later that evening*

The telephone ringed with a chanting sound ushering Gabriel's attention with concern.

"My Lord there is a shady character talking with Lady Aubrey, should I move in?"

"No hold position till I arrive!."

Gabriel ahd expected as much he couldn't trust andyone here, if it was within his best interests he should have just followed her around himself, but then again Aubrey would hate him for that. He sped through the city till he came into contact with the place.
Emerald eyes searched hesitatly as they caught MAtrim in a vicegrip around Aubrey's throat. Speed was of the essence and that beast wouldn't ever lay a hand on her ever again. Gabriel ditched the ride swiftly tearing off around the corner in a fast blaze as he charged Matrim running a shoulder into the man's side hopefully jostling his grip from her.

"Don't you touch her!" Gabriel scowled in an animalistic tone utering his disgust as he'd form a defensive barrier between his cousin and his foe.

"Aubrey get out of here!" He scowled harshly.

[Matrim Gallagher]

(OOC: I guess that means I have her by the neck..... cool. =D)

Matrim's arms and legs ignited in flames, they would burn wherever they touched the girl, incredibly so on her neck as Gabriel charged. Matrim saw it coming a mile away, and put Aubrey in the path by lifting her by the neck and putting her in between the two. Gabriel would connect with her lower back with his shoulder and Matrim would put his free arm at the girls stomach so that Gabriel would do even more damage, and the girl would feel a lot more pain in her stomach.

Matrim's flames would burn the girls neck, he would not let go even after Gabriel attacked.

"Aubrey get out of here!" Gabriel said, but Matrim hadn't let the girl go. Instead, he tightened his grip.

"NOT SO FUN ANYMORE IS IT? WHEN YOU HAD YOUR ELECTRIFIED HAND NEAR MY UNBORN CHILD, HOLDING REIRA BY THE THROAT?!?!? NOT SO FUNNY ANYMORE IS IT GABRIEL? IS IT!?!?" Matrim's grin grew as he held the girl.

[Eva Fortescue]

It had been a few days since she had arrived in San Francisco. Eva was still adjusting to the new way of life she would have to get used to here. It was different from France and speaking English more dominantly was odd to her. It was all in good nature though. Anywhere that Gabriel was, was perfectly idea to her. Gabriel. She hadn’t seen him in so long and she wasn’t about to lose track of him again.

Which was why she was keeping tabs on him. She was good at it too, for he didn’t seem to notice her constant eye on him, or her following him around. Eva was amazing at keeping herself hidden. It was sort of boring, but keeping her Lord safe was her first priority. Even if she knew that he was much stronger than her, she’d would loyally put herself in harms if it meant he’d come out unscathed.

Things had been looking well, until Gabriel had received a call. His voice and facial expression seemed urgent and this worried Eva greatly. Chasing after him from a distance, she hopped into her red Corvette and followed after him. It appeared he was going to the school. Since she was a ways behind him, she came into the parking lot and saw his car…the door was still open which meant he left in a hurry.

A worried expression on her face, she looked through her windshield and saw three figures in the field. One was Gabriel…the other an unknown man…and was that…Lady Seran?! Instinct taking over, Eva revved her engine and sped towards them. The back end of the vehicle left rubber marks on the cement and also spat up tufts of grass as she sped over Moral Crest’s field. She was coming behind the unknown figure, whom had flamming hands on Aubrey’s neck.

'Please, please work.'

At mad speeds, Eva sped the car to the flamming hands guy. Right when she was seconds from him, she did an E-break and swerved the car into a 180…this would make it so the back of the car would trun, while the front would not and hit the flame guy, hopefully leaving Lady Seran and Gabriel unharmed.

[Aubrey Seran]

Right when she spoke Gabriel's name he seemed to get angered, though almost instantly he began speaking of a dead wife and a baby boy. He seemed young to have a wife and son, but she wasn't here to judge. Though she felt bad for angering him when she asked if he had family.

"I am sorry for brin-" instantly he caught her by the neck. She couldn't breath as his grip tightened and his voice came deathly. Gabriel did what?

Seconds after She saw Gabriel run in, and went to attack Matrim, but instead, he repositioned her, making Gabriel hit her instead. She started feeling light headed from the blockage of air way and the fact that Gabriel just winded her. Gabriel yelled the command to get out, but she was still tihgt in his grip. The boy then burst into flames, which was not a normal in Aubrey's case. Matrim then made the point that he was getting vengance. Well, she walked in on the wrong fist fight.

The fire this boy created burned at her skin, making her scream with little air she had left. She did not want to die, not yet. Just then she saw a car speeding their way. It would look as if it was going to hit the both of them!

<< M-merde !>> she screamed with a shaky voice. With all her weight, she would swing her legs, and go straight for his package. If it were to hit, she would use this weakness all men had, to break loose from his grip and run clear from the car, even diving to the dirt if she had to.

[Matrim Gallagher]

(OOC: I feel like a dick for this.....)

A kick? It missed. Or rather, it was blocked by Matrim's free arm, using his elbow to intercept. The car that was coming for them? Well, Matrim was in a doorway, or rather near one so the sideways car would be something done in vain really. But Matrim liked the idea of the car and pressed forward bringing Aubrey in front of him, using her as a cushion between himself and the car, she would get hit directly in the back by that large vehicle. The force of which would send Matrim back, he was still gripping Aubrey so she would come along for the ride as he was sent through the doors of the school building he was next to.

Landing on his side he would slowly get up to a standing position, his body was roughed up from the attack but he was more then capable of keeping a grip. It was almost sickening how tough Matrim was now. Not to mention how he was able to read into everyones pathetic attacks, "Not until you beg.... NOT UNTIL YOU BEG ON YOUR KNEES WILL I LET HER GO GABRIEL!"

Alpha's twisted smile made Matrim look maniacal as his arms and legs roared, the flames never receding and burning with the power of his Qi. The girl would be going through hell, she would most likely have a hell of some burn marks after this. And the car? That was just about the dumbest thing you could do in a hostage situation like this....

She... she wouldn't have wanted this....

WELL SHE'S GONE NOW!

Inside Beta pitied this girl, she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Sara Quinn]

Sara walked slowly towards the group. She had debated stepping in, and had finally chosen to do so. She had avoided doing so up to this point because of her current weariness of Alpha. She really wanted nothing to do with him at the moment, but she couldn't let this continue. They were going about this completely the wrong way. And a car? Really... If she was still out of her mind, that might have been cool, but now? She was just sick of this fucking school and it's craziness.

She jogged the rest of the distance and then called out as she got closer. "Stop attacking him!! Stop! All of you, just stop." She stopped at the edge of the group, staying far away from Alpha. She really didn't want to do this, but she had to stop this. And she knew how too. She knew she needed to act fast. Sara knew first hand how much those flames hurt.

"Alpha, why...? Would Reira want this? What the hell would she think of you? This is ridiculous. And your son. How are you ever going to tell him you killed a girl for no reason?"
