The Beginning

Unravelled

September 4th - 1951

Tristan puts on his blazer and walks to go stand by the door, "Hurry up you two." Rhain walks towards the door doing up her tie, Nathaniel's facial expression was bland and he burst past Tristan to walk ahead in silence. "Aw, don't leave without us Nathaniel, imagine you get kidnapped." Nathaniel turns glaring at him, "Then leave." Nathaniel then continues to walk ahead, Rhain walks beside Tristan. "2nd year of school, which is amazing... yet you still can't get anyone to like you?" Rhain smiles, "That's because I'm not here to make 'friends' I was sent down for a reason." Tristan nods and looks to her, "Or is that an excuse, I can help you, it really isn't hard." When they stop to cross a road, she pushes him into the road. "Rhain! Exposing yourself isn't a wise idea is it?" Nathaniel grabs Tristan by the ear, pulling him to walk beside him, and when they reach school he walks away from them. "Rhain wasn't that stupid, more points for me." They walk inside and before he can walk through she slams the door behind her. "Testy, who kn-" He was grabbed by the shirt and kissed, "Oh. Hello, Ruby." She tiptoes putting her hands on his shoulder, "I missed you, when you didn't come to see me during the 6 weeks holiday I was very upset." He wraps his arm around her. "My mother is sick Ruby, I will never know how much time I'll have with her." Ruby's eyes softened and her arms were more relaxed, "I never knew... Why don't you tell me these kinds of things, I know we haven't dated long but it's your mother." She kisses him lightly. "How is she doing?" He lifts up her head and pouts, "Slowly leaving me..." Ruby holds his head, "I'll walk you to class, let's go." He takes her hand and follows behind cheekily smiling.

The sun shines inside the class and into Tristan's eyes, He pushes forward moving his seat into the shade. The teacher opens the door and entering was a new person dressed in her own clothes, her top was neatly tucked into her jeans, her trainers looked new and the small backpack seemed as though she hadn't been prepared to start, her long brownish blonde hair was in a messy bun and her eyes were crystal blue, skin so light but you could see her light brown skin in the shade. "The principal told me I was in this class." Nathaniel looks up from his desk, they make intense eye contact giving Tristan a glimpse of hope. "Yes, If you don't mind sitting in the empty seat beside Nathaniel." She nods, "Raise your hand Nathaniel so she knows who you are." He lifts it a little and she smiles in his direction once she knows, he removes his hand and turns his gaze to his book, she places her things down then looks at him, he pulls the book closer to himself trying to avoid her. She looks around and announces to the class, "Hello everyone, I'm Lillie Maze. It's nice to meet you all." The teacher nods and she sits down so the lesson can continue, she turns to Nathaniel. "Why are you reading a book?" He looks at her uncomfortably, "I've already heard this before." She nods and looks at the teacher, he slowly looks away from her and carries on reading.

Without a word Tristan was being pulled by his collar, "I'm not a pet! I'm a demon, if you can't treat me with respect then leave me alone." Releasing him from her grip she pushes him, "Listen I haven't got time, follow me." Rhain points in the direction, they enter the studio and it's pitch black. "Nathaniel? I brought him." Nathaniel clicks his fingers, "Lights." Tristan sets fire to his finger, Rhain rolls her eyes and snaps her fingers and the lights go on. "I've seen this Lillie girl before! she's following us, she has to be. I don't know if she was at our last school or the one before that, but I have seen her." Tristan hovers and laughs, "Oh come on, she's a mortal girl who actually likes you, I saw the eye contact." Nathaniel looks at him with a straight face. "We just met. How could you say something so absurd, I felt this sort of electric connection as if I knew her. I want you to look into it, don't be stupid while doing so." Rhain looks to him confused, "You don't have your powers back do you?" Nathaniel shakes his head, "If I did, I would figure this out for myself." He walks out pushing Tristan off-balance, Tristan looks to him hazed. "Why was I pushed?" Rhain pats him on the shoulder, "You two are in the same class, why would this girl be an angel?" He smirks, "He might just be confused with lust." She hits him, "I was being serious." He looks to her sympathetic, "Oh Rhain. So was I. Love, at first sight, have you never heard of it?" She shakes her head in disbelief. "That can't be it, he would know wouldn't he." He smiles, "He's in denial, and I can prove she's not an angel, that's simple, because she isn't." He opens the door and she walks through, "He's fallen for her and he doesn't want to believe it because that just doesn't make sense to him. Have you met him, no wonder the concept of 'love' would confuse him." He walks away from her and leaves her in the corridor.
