Returned(OPEN)

[Signalius Darklance]

It was so early, earlier than he could actually understand. And there he was, walking along the small path towards the big castle. He was home now, hopefully. He had been away for too long, leaving everything behind, his friends, his grades, his heart.. he had been so sad, so destroyed. The overwhelming feeling when Riot had taken over his body. the only way to stop it was to leave. and he left. The morning was cold and he stood there with his black hooded sweater and his favourite black jeans. he dropped his bags to the ground, "man, where's the welcome-comitee?" he grinned slightly. knowing that many had perhaps forgotten him, he had never made himself that special.. never that big.. still he wished someone couldn't sleep.. he wished that someone, would walk out and see him... there he stood, in the early morning fog, carrying three large bags of clothes. Just Signalius, Just Sig. no more Riot.. no more chaos..

he smiled, he was home.. he watched the castle again and sneezed, "d**n... I'm gonna catch a cold.." he muttered to himself.

[Cylan King]

There was no embrace of the still lingering morning that kept her asleep. She felt uneasy under her covers as time slowly passed. A sigh and a quiet stretch came to her as she got up quickly out of warm bed. Maybe too quickly, her body dared to tell her but she didn't listen to its echoing wail of warning. Quietly and dizzily she pulled on her jacket and her zebra jeans (yes, zebra) and snuck with a rush out of her dorm and then past the common room's door.

Out. That was the word that explained her status, or would it be escape? None the less she traveled on, away from the quiet of the lonely school. She wasn't used to things like this, everyone was gone, hiding, on what she talked to Mia about. Another sigh and a longing to find a voice she moved on, aware of the clinging fog around her. There was a calm feeling about her as sleep wanted to now set in, but no matter, it could wait for another time when she was warm under covers. With dizziness still about her she escaped the path and walked a small slope beside it. A branch swung at her face when she thought she had it in her grasp. Oomph. Knocked down by a swaying branch. At that moment she thought it best to stay with the path until she was fully awake.

Her feet were careful as they placed themselves on the ground in front of her. She thought she had them set correctly but the ground said otherwise. It wasn't a long way down but it was far enough for her. Only clumsy people ended up like this it seemed. Down she went until the path was at her feet. One leg was propped in the air while a hand was trying to catch the ground, she had caught herself on one leg. A slight grin came to her face, "I'm glad I didn't fall all the way," she said as she stood up, "That would have been..."

Now she noticed the person on the path. She stopped and stood up straight slowly, "Bad." She finished her sentence and stared on at the him. Her eyes staid there as she spoke, "Who are you?" she questioned slowly, "I've never seen you here before." Cylan's spunk went down a level lower as she stepped a tiny bit closer.

(I know I'm a new person and not much to great you, but others that have been on must be on vacation. )

[Signalius Darklance]

((OOC: Hey! I'm just really glad someone replied! : ) thank you!))

Sig stood there and was about to pick up his bags again when he heard steps. He wasn't the perfect listener since he played guitar, and usually he played pretty loud, but he could still hear this. someone, or something was walking down the path. He stood still on his place, not alarmed, just curious about what he would meet, or whom. the air was cold against his skin, and he felt slight goosebumps as it chilled down his spine, the thick fog made it difficult to see when the person would appear in front of him so he didn't move from his spot.

Then out of nowhere she appeared, pretty fast he would say. he watched her, slightly worried if she were okay. he smiled though, she started to talk to him, and asked questions. he nodded, "yeah, You're pretty new aren't you? since you've never seen me..." he cut off... trying to forget that sleazy Slytherin inside of him, "I've been away for a good while now... personal reasons you see.. so I've been around places and stuff.. now I'm back!" he took some steps closer to her and presented his hand for her, "I'm Signalius.. Sig Darklance...just call me Sig.. nice to meet you..." he looked at her, she seemed kinda familiar by some reason, he shrugged.. "now, who might you be young wanderer?"

[Naomia 'Mia' Granger]

Mia walked slowly, bored and lonely. The only person around was Cylan it seemed, but that was okay because she was cool. She was dressed in a tight pair of pants and a big blue hoodie. It was cold out. She emerged from the forest to see two figures, conversing it appeared. As she approached she noticed one was Cylan and smiled softly. The other she focused on.

She stopped dead in her tracks, her face paling. He was back. He had promised never to leave again. Mia felt tears stinge her eyes as the familiar feelings of pain, hurt, and love overcame her body. She took a few timid steps forward. "Sig?" mia asked, her voice just loud enough to be heard. Mia ran then, throwing herself onto him, hugging him tightly, knocking them both to the ground. Mia had tears streaming down her cheeks as she sat up after several seconds of hugging him. She sat directly on his lap and smacked his arm. "You promised never to leave me alone again!" Mia exclaimed unhappily. She blushed bright red and jumped off his lap.

"Sorry Cylan. Hi... Sig... you reallly have to stop leaving. Everytime you come back I knock you on the ground," Mia said softly, looking back to him. God she hated that he had left, but she still loved him with all her heart and soul. Mia smiled a watery smile at him, putting a hand down to help him up.

[Signalius Darklance]

He was right about to hear what the girl had to say when he felt something hit him, he laughed as he hit the ground cos he slightly knew who it was, "Mia!!" he watched her and smiled and blushed, he felt something inside of him, he had missed her so much.. and he knew what he had promised, "man.. Mia I'm so sorry for leaving again... d**n.. I really had no choice this time.. and.. and... d**n..." he felt tears annoy his eyes, but he quickly brushed them away, not to lose face in front of the young girl, he took her hand and let her help him up. He had missed her so much. he grinned and watched the younger girl again, "so you're Cylan? very nice to meet you" he watched Mia again and pulled her into a hug, whispering in her ear, "I've missed you so much!"

[Naomia 'Mia' Granger]

Mia hugged him back, tightly, refusing to let him go. "You better be happy I love you so much or I would kick your a$$ for leaving. I've missed you more than you can imagine," mia whispered back. She buried her face in his chest, still not letting go. His arms felt so warm, so right. God she had missed him holding her. Mia turned them both so that she could see Cylan.

"I'm sorry, sig is an old friend who promised not to leave me, big meanie," mia explained, arms still firmly around Sig's waist.

[Signalius Darklance]

Sig held her tightly and laughed, "yeah, I totally deserve that asskicking...I mean... twice now?" he watched her, still holding around her, he felt his heart beating pretty quick, and now every feeling, those he had felt first when he was in his second year it was? they had returned, those he had felt so long, and now he was back in her arms.. seeing that same old lovable smile, he was truly home.

"I'm really not that mean" he smiled at Cylan, he winked at Mia

[Naomia 'Mia' Granger]

Mia grinned playfully. She was really happy he was still holding her. It felt good. "Where were you?" Mia asked softly, looking up at him from his arms, "I looked everywhere... I cried... and I was so upset, I thought something had happened to you..." Mia said, her voice soft.

"He's not mean... just leaves a lot," Mia added to Cylan, briefly glancing at her before focusing back at Sig.

[Signalius Darklance]

He smiled down at her, "I've been around.. I can tell you more later..if you want.." he smiled sadly at her when she told him she had looked for him, and cried.. "sweetie, I missed you so much.. I mean, I really wanted to send you letters and contact you... but because of the... yeah.. I wasn't allowed..." he looked at the castle, "maybe we should get inside?, I mean... it's kinda cold out here" he smiled brightly at the two girls and kissed Mia's forehead

[Naomia 'Mia' Granger]

Mia nodded. "Yeah, I want to know more later. Inside sounds good. It is cold but not when I'm in your arms Sig," Mia said softly. She blushed as he kissed her forehead, wondering where this was going. She slowly pulled herself out of his arms, not really wanting to but she knew it was rather inappropriate seeing as they were not dating. It probably really looked like they were though. She smiled softly up at him and then looked at Cylan, smiling at her.

[Cylan King]

Cylan jumped back a little as Mia came in. A small quiet laugh came to her as she looked at the two, obviously they were in love. She gave a little dip of her head, "It's ok Mia," she grinned, "I wouldn't expect any less. The way that they were around each other made Cylan smile, it seemed that slowly the people Mia loved were coming back. They made Cylan laugh when they "argued". She smiled and dipped her head again, "I think I'll leave you two to some catching up." Her feet took her back the way she came but she turned her head before she disappeared into the trees, "Nice to meet you Sig," she smiled, "Bye Mia, see you around."

[Naomia 'Mia' Granger]

Mia waved as Cylan left. "See you soon! We can get drunk again sometime soon!" Mia called, grinning. Mia smiled at Sig.

[Signalius Darklance]

Signalius laughed when Mia said that they had to get drunk again. "What do you mean with drunk!? You know she's a first-year right?!" ha pushed her playfully on the shoulder, creating a distance between them. He faced her and smiled. "What have you been up to while I've been away? creating a new scene-act with the young unspoiled minds of the first years? d'you remember how difficult it was with the originals?" he laughed and remembered the true pregnant doges of hogwarts. The most popular girls. All with colourfull hair and sparkling eyes. Joanna, Nikki and Mia in front. The dream-girls. The Scene-Queens. He tilted his head. "still I miss those days, don't you?"

[Naomia 'Mia' Granger]

Mia grinned at Signalius as he spoke. "What's wrong with first years, I mean I could outdrink just about anyone when I was a first year, why deprive them of the opportunity to watch me get smashed and do it themselves," Mia grinned, remembering the first time she got drunk.... Or at least she tried. She vaguely remembered flirting with everyone present, and a lot of tripping over people. Mia shrugged as he asked what she had been up to. "Oh same old same old.... looking for first years to corrupt and trying to find stuff to do. It really does get way to boring without you around," Mia informed him brightly.
