Luminescence

[RuetheDay]

Moira hurried down the empty cobble stone street, the street lamps providing the only light to guide her. Her brown-ish, red eyes searched the streets frantically as she ran.

She always hated nights like this, so empty and quiet. She finally stopped running, straightening her purple of the shoulder shirt. The cool breeze that swept through empty Market Street was cold, chilling. She breathed heavily, her breath shown in the air. She rubbed her fox ears, then tossing some hair out of her face continued down the road on her way back to the academy.

She didn't want to go back alone, she wouldn't normally wander the streets like this. Suddenly, in the cold silence, she froze, it was as if all her senses had been awoken at once as she feel their presence, the cold echo of their footsteps on the ground behind her...

Chase was wondering around when he saw a girl walking by herself and it looked like she could use someone to be with her for protection. He did not know that she could feel his presence so he continued to walk behind her like a shadow which was not strange to him at all because he use to do it all the time to his dictator. When she stopped and stood still he stood still holding his breath not knowing if she would try hurting him. He did not mean any harm to her he was just walking behind her because he felt a weird presence following him and did not want to be along because he thought he was being hunted by men.

The hair of Moira's fox tails stood on end, she turned around slowly to see the one who had been following her, a solitary figure in a trench coat. The kitsune froze and stared unsure how to react, should she flee? Should she attack? Tactics flew through her mind. She gulped and stood her ground.

"Who are you and why are you following me she asked?" She trembled as her voice filtered through the quiet night with much more fear then intended. She instinctually gripped her bag, she couldn't let her pearl get in the wrong hands... not again.

[nilo7]

Chase replied in a timid voice "I was walking around and i noticed that there was a girl walking by herself and that she might feel more comfortable if there was somebody with her." Chase still not knowing what she would do stood still there holding his breath in.

[RuetheDay]

Moira blushed a bit. The gesture was sweet, a little creepy but sweet. Moira's gaze softened and her anxious clutching of her bag ceased.

"Thank you, I guess. That's rather kind of you." She smiled nervously, shifting positions. "Its really apreciated... I've always had a problem with walking around in the dark..."

Moira tilted her head in slight confusion.

"You look a bit familiar now that I think about it, you go to school around here...?" Her fox ears twitched, she was a bit surprised at how he wasn't freaking out over them, a slight supporting to the theory he went to the Academy. That or he was randomly by some chance used to that kind of thing...

[nilo7]

Chase replied "I go to um an academy near by." He looked at her ears and then just looked back at her face. He asked in a curious voice " So um do you want me to just leave you alone?" Waiting for her answer his heart was racing five times faster than what it normally does.

[RuetheDay]

Moira shifted positions looking down nervously. "You can walk with me if you'd like... I would understand if you didn't want to..."

Moira's gaze lifted back up to Chase with a anxious smile and a small laugh at the awkwardness of the moment.

[nilo7]

Chase looked at her and smiled for the fist time in 12 years. Chase said "I would be happy to walk with you."

[RuetheDay]

Moira smile beamed more than usual, something in the genuine of his had truly brightened things. She continued to walk but waited up for the other, it was sweet of him, it really was. It was rare people were this kind to Moira without some sort of terrible nefarious intentions behind it. She could never understand why others became mesmerized with her in such a vulgar unmoral way.

Moira decided that before all conversation died down she should say something. "Well, its nice to meet you. I'm Moira."

[nilo7]

mm... You have a nice name Moira. My name is Chase. So do you live close by?" Chase looked at Moira waiting for her to say something.

[RuetheDay]

"I live in the girls dorm at Chimera Academy." Moira replied as she walked side by side with Chase. Moira dug through her purse to pull out a small paper bag from which she uncrumpled pulling out a small pastry with raspberry filling she took a bite out it, sinking her pointed teeth into the red filling.

"Mmm... Want one? They're rugalas." She offered some to Chase with an expectant smile. Rugalas are the most epic pastries in existence. It was lucky she could find them around here. These were rare.

[nilo7]

"I um never tasted one before so I don't know if I would like it." Chase just smiled at her. He was happy that she offered but he does not want to take a bite of it and then find out he is allergic.

[RuetheDay]

"Suit yourself." She replied with a weakened smile, crumpling up the bag and shoving it into her messenger bag. Upon opening it, her peal glowed pink shedding light from the tiny bag. She winced kind of hoping he hadn't noticed, taking a bite out of her rugala again. "..."

Why was it glowing??? This is rather abnormal. Moira freaked inside her mind.

[nilo7]

Chase saw a glow coming from her direction and asked if she saw a light too. It only lasted for a few seconds but Chase knows that anything can happen in a few seconds.

[RuetheDay]

Moira laughed nervously but it was so fake it wasn't funny.
"Haha... ha... I have no idea what you were taking about... Th-There was no light..." She smiled again.

Crap!!!!!!! What do I do!? How do I explain??? Grrr... Moira panicked. And it definitely showed on her face even id she wasn't aware.
