Browsing the Town

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle walked down the street, her hands in her pockets and her eyes wide open. She glanced around as she walked. Taking in her old home. She gently fingered the twenty dollar bill in her pocket that she had slipped out her dads wallet. She needed a job, they were running low on money.

Annabelle had been living with a friend of her mothers since her mother had passed away. she'd visited her dad, here and there. but never really thought about living with him. But... Mary, the family friend, had run off two days ago with her boyfriend of three days. AnnaBelle figured they went to Vegas. Get drunk. Get hitched. Then live out their happy little lives.

AnnaBelle sighed quetly. The town hadn't really changed since she left. Actually: it hadn't changed at all. She quietly wondered if she would make any friends. She would like some, but some people thought her odd. Her way of thinking. The way she talked. the way she dressed.

AnnaBelle dressed in clothes most would associate as hippy clothes. Long skirts with bells on them. Peasant blouses. But then there were her hats. AnnaBelle loved hats, any kind. She smiled as she gently adjusted her fedora, it was a dark purple with a gray swirling pattern around it. It had been her fathers, well, was her fathers. but he wouldn't care. he was too busy slowly dying from depression.

She pulled the sleeves of her Alice in Wonderlands, The Mad Hatter hoodie down some more, completly covering her hands. See, she wore normal clothes! Not that anyone usually noticed. Not really anyone noticed her. She sighed again. "Please... please let me make at least ONE friend." She quietly wished as she walked.

Aletha walked out of an alley. Her long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She had on a rd tank and black, baggy pants and black sneakers. Her eyes sparkled with laughter, and as she smiled she had trouble keeping her fangs in hiding, but she managed it.

As she walked she spotted AnnaBelle. She looked at her outfit and wasn't sure if she should say hi or run. She settled with saying hi to her. If she messed with her, hey Aletha was a vampire. "Hey!" she called. "You new here?"

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle stopped and turned, hearing the voice of a girl calling to her. The girl looked friendly enough. Maybe a little rough around the dges, but hey! Who was she to judge when it came to style? She walked over to the girl, biting her lip. It was a nervous habit. "Actually, no. I used to live here when I was really young, and just moved back." She allowed a very small smile to grace her lips. "I'm AnnaBelle." Once again, AnnaBelle, fingered the ends of her hoodie sleeves, which were wrapped up in her hands.

Aletha nodded. "I'm Aletha and I've lied ehre my whole life," she explained, but it was a lie. Aletha was a vampire. She remembered the Otherworld and she knew that she lived there for a while.

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle nodded. "Nice to meet you..." She felt a little awkward. It had been a while since she had attempted to make friends. She had a few back where Mary lived, but... they had been friends for a while now. She searched in her own mind for a topic, something toi talk about. "I haven't been here in like nine years. It's odd how the town hasn't really changed at all."

[♥Nuka♥]

"Yeah," Aletha said looking around. "Ramsa just doesn't cahnge and I doubt it ever will."

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle smiled a sneaky grin. "I actually have to disagree with that." She chuckled. "Things CAN be changed, if you put a little effort into it." She leaned back against a lamp post that was behinfd her, crossing her arms across her chest. "With the right people, attitude, and scheme: Ramsa could potentially change."

[♥Nuka♥]

"Most people like it the way it is or are to lazy to get up and change. That's why there will never be much change here. Besides we don't need to wreck nature for our selfish needs. We should leave the forest alone," Aletha pointed out. She really just wanted to avoid the foreest because of the portal, but she thought her argument was ligit.

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle looked at Aletha strangely. "i said nothing about doing anythng to the forest. But I do agree with you on that, the forest should be left alone. There are... miraculous things in there that you will find nowhere else. Roses growing in the dark, tree's as old as the earth, animals that date back to before the dinosours, and there's the porta-" She stopped. How to cover her flub...?

[♥Nuka♥]

Aletha looked at her curiously. Was this girl from the Otherworld? It sounded like she almost said the portal. "And the portal?" Aletha asked.

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle bit her lip. "Well.. you see... There's this... legend that in the forest is a portal to another world, the Otherworld. And if it existed, hypothetically of course, then it would wise not to mess with the forest." She was nervous but slightly curious. Did this girl know about the Otherworld as well? Maybe even was FROM there?

[♥Nuka♥]

"I've heard the story, but not many people have," Aletha said. She began to think.Most of the people that did know about it were vampires and some shifters did.

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle shrugged. "I've grown up hearing it. I moved here when I was REALLY young, and... My parents used to make it a point that I do not forget it." If she was from there, what was she? She was tempted to look into her mind, but wasn't sure if that would be smart.

[♥Nuka♥]

"If you moved here then where are you originally from?" Aletha asked.

[Elfy]

AnnaBelle chuckled. "Just because you call it a legend does not make it fake." It was an old Elfish saying, all from the Otherworld would know right away where it had come from. If this girl was not from there, she would be VERY confused. But by saying this, and if the girl WAS from there, it would be just like saying that AnnaBelle was from the Otherworld.
