So maybe she had been staring a little longer than most people, but Izabel was fascinated with the newcomers. Werewolves. She was curious about their species, their abilities. It wasn’t new, considering all of Acadia had so many species within the school. Finally turning her attention away, as she felt her cheeks blush, she was caught. Clearing her throat, she brushed it off as it appeared she was in a daze. Izabel was a daydreamer after all. Feeling a presence, she motioned to move “Excuse me.” she stated not wanting to get in their way.

~

Samantha had been people watching - being around a fresh crop of interesting species was new to her, and she had gone from furtive glances to blatant staring. The students, the professors, the staff... all going about their day like they weren’t standing next to a dragon or ninja guardian aka the dhampir or freaking banshees. It was wild, to say the least, especially for Samantha who had grown used to her packmates constantly in view.

She smirked in greeting when someone noticed her staring. “You’re good, no harm in looking, right?” Samantha nodded towards the werewolves ahead, nomads she didn’t know well. “We only bite on the full moon, anyways,” she said with a wink.

It wasn’t exactly a secret to anyone that Clara would and had never really given herself enough credit in her life. She was of small stature, sure, but certainly had a lot of strength that very few had actually seen. For now, whatever preconceived notions of the magician Samantha had would probably be true. “That’s kinda nice, right? I mean.. lets us create our own dynamic. How we work.” She couldn’t help but feel a slight twinge as the clothes toppled over, but she didn’t let it show. It was an accident of course, nothing that couldn’t be fixed. Besides, Clara wasn’t really one to hold grudges. “You’re fine.. they’re gonna go away anyway.” She gave the other a reassuring smile. The brunette would get used to it, having another person in her room. 

“Yeah.. I heal people.” She nodded, letting out a small laugh at the mention of her walls. “I mean… maybe? I’ve never seen a spell for that.. we could always go get some stuff.. if you want. To decorate.” In a way, Clara hated the walls too. She had just never bothered to change them. Maybe that was why she felt so trapped in here sometimes and yet? She was in her room alone more often than she socialized with other people. 

“How are you enjoying the school so far?” Clara asked, trying her best to make conversation. She wanted Samantha to be honest with her, considering they were not only bonded together, but would be sharing the same space. It didn’t have to be immediate, the last thing she wanted was to make the other uncomfortable. 

“Shopping sounds great,” Samantha sighed, laying back against Clara’s bed with a dreamy look on her face. “Does Lennox have an Ikea? Or scratch that, does Lennox have any good shopping options?” It had been a while since Samantha had the promise of permanence in a home, perhaps it was finally time to settle for longer than a month. Buy a poster for the wall, why not? Samantha shrugged at Clara’ next question, still looking up at the ceiling. “It’s fine,” she said bluntly. “I mean, it’s school, so I’m not over the moon to be here, but I guess it’s nice enough.” 

She turned on her side to look at Clara. “Do you like Acadia? You’ve been here for a while, right?” Samantha thought back to her school experience. “If it’s anything like my previous boarding school experience, the students are probably very good at throwing underground parties, stuff the administration has no clue about.” She grinned wickedly at Clara. “Now that sounds like fun. Any clue when the next one is? We should make an appearance, just to be polite.” She sat up. “We’ll have to go shopping for stuff, I’ll have nothing to wear.”

When Clara was told that she would be getting a guardian, she almost cried. Yeah. Cried. After the whole ordeal that she alongside many other Acadian’s had endured, she had felt even more afraid being so far away from home. The day that this Samantha Boone person was supposed to arrive, it was then and only then that Clara realized how messy the room was. Well, by Clara standards. It was actually pretty clean. While she usually wasn’t picky, she didn’t know the other felt about their spaces and she wanted to make sure she was as happy and comfortable as possible. When Samantha had walked in, Clara had been in the middle of putting away clothing that was already in a neatly-folded pile. 

“I mean- yeah. I guess I am.” She nodded with soft laugh. Clara would get used to it, having someone else in her space. She just hoped it was to Samantha’s liking. “Well.. I’ve seen some pairs do it differently.. we’ll wing it at first?” Wing it? Jesus Clara. “Find what works for us, I mean.” Clara didn’t really understand why she was being so awkward, the werewolf seemed really nice and maybe she just wanted her to like her. “Sorry.. we can learn together. I’m new to this too.”

~

Samantha hid her smile, her eyebrows raised as Clara continued to speak. She could understand now why Clara Blanchard needed a guardian, she looked like she would fall apart under the weight of one book. But Samantha was petite as well, and had taken on wolves twice her size. Sometimes looks could be deceiving. “Well,” she finally said, throwing the last of her things into a drawer. “Sounds like we can do whatever we want then, we make the rules.” She went to sit on Clara’s bed, knocking over some of the folded clothes. “Sorry,” Samantha tried to put the clothes back on top of each other, but it didn’t look quite as neat as before. 

“Um, so you’re a magician, right?” She looked around the room curiously, as if there were traces of magic lingering. “Can you, like... change the color of this room?” The white walls made Samantha feel like she was in a prison cell, she longed for the outdoors and the freedom to call anything home. She glanced back at Clara expectantly. “Or is your magic different?”

lukeorosco​:

An easy pass for sure. Besides, it wasn’t like failing classes would do anything, right? If they were kicked out, so what? Again, they did just fine for years without Acadia. It wouldn’t make any difference to him whether or not they tried or not. Luke’s eyes widened a bit, and he flashed a sly grin in return as Sam’s face got dangerously close. There were friends and then there were friends with benefits. A fun time for both of them. Luke smirked at her teasing comments. “Hell yeah, screw the list,” he declared, taking her hand and just tugging her toward the exit. “I wonder how much we can get away in this place. Do they even have detention in college?” Luke scoffed.

~

“Detention is for humans,” she laughed, following him out of the library. “Here they probably chain you to the castle fortress and let the dragons burn you to a crisp,” Samantha said dramatically. But she was willing to tempt fate, and she was sure she and Luke could outrun the Headmistress. Samantha glanced around the corridor, unsure which direction to take. “I heard there was a secret library just for Moroi,” she mused, looking at Luke with a raised eyebrow. “Now obviously we just left a library, but I have a feeling that one is a little bit better than the one we just left.” She looked down the left hallway. “And it smells a little Moroi-ish this way.” Samantha cocked her head in that direction. “What do you think? Crash the rich kids’ part of the castle?”

“…You’re right, why not ghosts, I just think that’d be a little hard since ghost can’t touch anything- shouldn’t they be on a different plain too?” She said as she was skimming along the shelf with the other trying to find her book. “Ooo, well it must be an honor to be my first,” she laughed finding the innuendo funny on both parts. “I’m Vanessa,” she said as she stopped looking and turned to the other to think of the answer, “Yeah I’m a dragon- and it’s….natural, like second nature.”

~

“A wonderful honor,” Samantha grinned. “If you’re looking for other firsts, I’m your girl. I’ve done practically everything, so consider me an experienced aide in your journey through life.” They stopped in front of one of the bookshelves, and Samantha let her fingers trail over the different book spines as she listened to the girl’s response. “Flying sounds incredible,” she said wistfully. “Running in my wolf form... that feels like flying sometimes, we can go so incredibly fast with four legs. But to actually fly over a city, through the clouds...” Samantha sighed and gave Vanessa a lazy grin. “You can be my first too, my first flight. Just pick me up one day and take me over a mountain.” She pointed her finger at Vanessa. “Promise you won’t let go, though!”

thecadedawson​:

The last couple of days Cade had pretty much spent every minute that he wasn’t in class or practicing his magic in the library, scanning through countless books to find something that could be of use to him. Simply sitting on the floor between the shelves with one book on his lap and a few others stacked next to him, he only glanced up, when he heard someone calling out. So much for keeping quiet in the library… As it didn’t sound like she was just going to leave though - and because of he was being honest, the title of the book she was looking for had caught his attention - Cade finally closed his book and got up. “You’re one of the werewolves!”, he stated, even though obviously it was only a guess, while leaning against one of the shelves with his eyebrows slightly raised.

~

Samantha nodded at the man, a smirk creeping across her face. “At your service,” she said, following it up with a mock curtsy. “A werewolf in desperate need of someone who knows their way around a library shelf, it looks like.” She handed him the list of books, then leaned against the bookshelf dramatically. “This place is so large I’ll spend my entire semester trying to find these,” Samantha continued, nodding at the long list of textbooks. “I think I’d rather fail, honestly.” She turned to him, eager for a distraction. “So, library stranger, what’s your discipline here? Hopefully not werewolf hunter.”

[samantha-boone]

tcmpcest​:

Vanessa had gone back to the library to return some books that she had almost completely forgotten about and was just lucky that today was the grace period before having a fine. As she was walking though someone was calling out for help, and for some fun she peeked her head over to the book aisle the other was on. “You can see me? No one’s been able to speak to me in fifteen years,” she said jokingly as she headed to the history section. Feeling like the book would be classified under history rather than werewolves. 

“So you’re one of the new werewolves…Cool, never seen one before.”

~

Samantha’s eyes had widened slightly before she realized the other was joking. “This school has plenty of other creatures, why not ghosts?” she mused as she followed the other down the library corridors. “And it’s not often I’m somebody’s first,” she smirked, running her fingers along the spines of the books as she trailed after the girl to the history section. “I’m Samantha,” she continued. “And from the smell of it, you’re a dragon, aren’t you?” Samantha paused against the bookself. “Tell me, what’s it like to fly?”

delladona​:

  the sun didn’t warm her quite right today, tex couldn’t find anywhere outside to enjoy so she hid away in the library. the worlds there were waiting for her to discover them. often times when she ended up there she wished she could build a fort with the books she finished, it would have surely saved her from the blonde. the girl cut right into the moment tex’s mind was diving into the dead sea… glancing over the brim of the book a playful smile crept onto her face. “they are probably doing librarian things.” doubting they searching every aisle because they probably would have found what they were looking for.

   “well is it fictional, memoir, historical – perhaps a self help?” tex questioned, her adventure could wait she thought as she set the book down.

~

“Well, what sort of things qualify as librarian things?” Samantha asked pointedly, looking around the library. “What else are they supposed to do, besides help students find books?” She sighed and sat down at the table. “I highly doubt it’s fictional, seeing as how I’m a wolf, sitting right here in front of you,” she grinned, raising her eyebrows at the girl. “So we definitely have some sort of definitive history.” 

Samantha glanced around the library, feeling dejected. “I’m not searching this whole place for one book,” she declared. “I guess I’ll just wait for the librarian to show up.” She turned back to the girl. “In the meantime...” she began with a smile. “Are you a library-dweller normally? Or just hiding out from something.”

[samantha-boone]

zaraxmorales​:

Zara walked confidently through the halls of her new school. She hated that she was brought here. Glancing around, she noticed a student with a sticker of her band on it. She scoffed, rolled her eyes and continued walking. Everyone could look but they knew not to get too close. 

When a blonde girl approached her, she frowned. “Hey?” She asked, glancing around. She was in the fucking library. Maybe she should pay more attention to whats around her next time. 

She sighed and flipped her hair. “No. I don’t read much, blondie.” Zara raised her brows. She towered over the other woman. She wanted to make a good impression so she wore one of her highest pair of heels. “I mean… I guess I can help you look for it. Maybe you can’t reach it.” She said, smiling at her. 

Samantha’s eyebrows shot straight up, the sarcasm laced in the girl’s voice throwing her off momentarily. But she was quick to recover, and rolled her eyes with a smirk. “Oh, you don’t read much? Could’ve fooled me,” Samantha remarked. “Though I hate to break it to you, darling, you’ll have to eventually read these books too.” She handed the girl the slip of paper. “The exciting curriculum for a wolf student here at Acadia,” Samantha sighed. She glanced down at the woman’s heels, which seemed to add a whole foot over Samantha’s small frame. “What’s with the heels, anyway? No need to overcompensate, they’re already kissing our feet for saving them from the attack.”

mikkixvolk​:

While Mikki had never been a model student, he’d also never in his life been deemed a ‘troublemaker’. Any trouble he caused was from him just genuinely not realizing he was doing something wrong, and for the most part people looked at any wrongs he did as ‘misunderstandings’. He was sweet and dumb, that was the general consensus. “As long as you don’t go spilling all the secrets, I don’t mind sharing a few spots,” he laughed, shrugging his shoulders.

“I’m really glad you’re all here. I mean, if you haven’t been thanked enough for coming to our rescue-” he trailed off, offering a smile that was now somewhat sheepish, another uncommon emotion for Mikki. “But even aside from that, it’ll be good to have you here. A lot of us didn’t realize the werewolves still existed; anything we know about them has come from books. Not that you’re test subjects or anything, I just think a mutual sharing of the knowledge of all of our cultures and heritage is exciting,” he knew he was rambling but he didn’t try and stop himself. He couldn’t even if he wanted to, really. He got excited about things sometimes. Without hesitating, he reached out and took her hand to shake. “Mikulas. Everyone’s always called me Mikki, though.”

~

Samantha listened to him ramble with a small smile. The one benefit of joining the school had been the strange fact that all the students here were different, were unique. Outside of the school walls, any of them would be considered strange by humans unaware of their abilities. Samantha had spent her twenties hiding the biggest part of herself from strangers, it felt strange to open up to someone who already knew her secret. 

“I had heard of dhampirs and moroi and all that from other werewolves,” she admitted. Wolves passed down stories through pack members, but they had seemed like distant fairy tale creatures. “Acadia has never been very welcoming of our kind until now,” Samantha continued dryly, though she quickly shot a smile at Mikki. “Not your fault, of course! Just... who knows, maybe the headmistress suddenly had a change of heart.” Or she just feels guilty knowing we saved her ass. 

“Well, nice to meet you Mikki,” Samantha grinned, shaking his hand. “And you’re a dhampir, right?” She wrinkled her nose slightly. “Y’all have a certain smell to you, all the different... species.” Samantha let out a chuckle. “No offense, but the dhampir smell like sweat. Your classes are a little more labor intensive than the moroi, I guess.”

lennonxdavies​:

At one point in this library trip, Lennon had planned on actually finding the books he was sent to find. But after only a couple of minutes he’d declared himself hopeless when it came to studying, and from there he’d decided a little bit of harmless mayhem would be alright. What could go wrong? He was huddled in one of the empty rows, book open and pen in hand, drawing mustaches on every depiction of moroi he could find. Though an echo got his attention, the sound processing as something being nearby enough to catch him, and he hastily put the book away and the pen in his pocket before walking swiftly out of the aisle.

He almost ran into Samantha directly, and Lennon breathed a sigh of relief. Well shit, now he wished he’d finished the book he was on. “I don’t know where anything is. You got a few bucks? I’m hungry.” He took her hand and pulled her along with him, wanting to get out of the library as soon as possible.

~

Samantha could always count on Lennon to be a welcome distraction, and she smiled and swung her arm around his shoulders. “You’re always hungry, kid,” she remarked, but she could use a snack as well. “We’re werewolves, we should be able to sniff out the kitchen just fine, right?” Samantha led them out of the library, her booklist long forgotten.

“So how are you adapting to Acadia?” she asked as they wandered the halls. “It’s a little too... stuffy for me,” Samantha continued, answering her own question. “I never thought I’d be back at a place like this.” A slight frown settled on her face, as she reminisced on the private school she’d been shuttled to as a teen. Hopefully Acadia was different.

lukeorosco​:

The Hayes comment made him laugh. “Good one,” he grinned. “Yeah, I bet there was a wolf named Sir Wolfyson Howlington or some shit.” He rolled his eyes. It was still irritating they had to be in the same vicinity as the other pack. “Who says we have to study?” Luke scoffed softly, a mischievous glint in his eye. “Please, we’ve done just fine without all of this academic shit. Besides, we saved everyone here. I feel like we should just get automatic As in everything.” The head school lady asked them to attend so whatever, they did. But Lucas wasn’t planning on sticking his nose in a book all day or writing until his hand cramped. 

~

Samantha nodded - his reasoning was sound, they’d just saved the school from chaos and mass destruction, surely that warranted an easy pass? And what did wolves have to learn, anyways? The best lessons were out in the wild, with your pack members at your back for support. Samantha sent Luke a wicked grin. “Well, what else did you have in mind?” She trailed her fingers lightly over his arm and leaned in closely, brushing his nose with hers. 

“I’ve never made out with anyone in a library before,” she whispered, but then pulled back with a wide grin. “Oh wait! Yes, I have,” Samantha teased, putting her list of books in her back pocket. “Now lets go find something else to do, please, I’m sure the librarian is hiding from us anyways.”

[samantha-boone]

ensorciels​:

While she had originally gone to the library to pick up the reading materials for her class Cree abandoned that plan the moment her nose picked up a familiar scent. She headed straight towards Samantha, grinning as she poked her head into the aisle her packmate was in. “I doubt that’s actually written by one of our kind. Probably one of those humans who think they are wolves.” Cree let out a disgusted noise. “Can’t believe, no actually I can believe they’d assign such garbage.” Considering how no one in the academy barely knew they existed before this. Peering over Samantha’s shoulder Cree read a couple of other book titles. She couldn’t stop the eye roll or the tiny chuckle at some of the most ridiculous ones. “My Journey with my Inner Wolf by Fenris Howl. Whichever class this is for I give you my permission to skip it, Sam.”

Samantha laughed loudly, the sound echoing through the quiet library. “My inner wolf would like to take a journey straight off the cliff at the thought of reading these,” she grinned, crumpling up the list and sliding it into her pocket. “How does it feel to be a figure of authority, Professor?” It was strange to look at Cree, a woman who Samantha considered her older sister, her friend and confidante and mentor, and imagine her standing amidst the other Professors here. “If you ever try to give me a detention or whatever they call punishments here, I swear I’ll turn to a wolf and eat all your clothes,” Samantha said with a smirk. “Kidding, Cree - maybe.”

[samantha-boone]

mikkixvolk​:

Mikki looked at the girl as she sat down near him, unable to help himself from smiling at her words. “I wouldn’t call it crazy. Personally I’m glad we’re opening up to more species. We live in a world that doesn’t always accept us, why shouldn’t we stick together?” Though maybe he was crazy, she wouldn’t be the first person to have ever called him that.

He nodded, smile growing when she asked if she was able to call dibs on the spot. “You’re more than welcome to hide here anytime you like. If you need suggestions for other good hiding spots, let me know. I’ve been here a while, I know all the most peaceful places,” his tone was joking, though in actuality he really did have a list of quiet places he could go to when he wanted to be alone with his thoughts, or just needed to finish a book. “Are you and your pack settling in okay so far?” He asked, looking genuinely concerned that maybe she wasn’t liking it at Acadia.

~

“I’ll need all the good hiding spots,” Samantha grinned at him, scooting a little closer. “At my old boarding school - years ago, before I was a wolf and could smell people a mile away - I had all the best spots mapped out.” She shrugged and smiled at the memory. “You know, the best spots for a little troublemaking, out of the watchful eyes of the teachers.” She winked at him. “So maybe don’t divulge all your peaceful ones just yet.”

Samantha paused at his next question - were they settling in well? It was hard to tell. Lennon seemed to be adapting well, while Cree seemed to despise her new role as Professor. And she and Luke... well, they wouldn’t just easily buy into Acadia right away. “We’re doing okay,” she finally said. “It’s definitely an adjustment, but I guess it’s nice to be accepted by the school. Like you said - maybe we should stick together.” Samantha realized she didn’t know the name of her new friend. “I’m Samantha, by the way,” she concluded, holding out her hand. “And you are?”

[samantha-boone]

lukeorosco​:

Luke was walking around aimlessly. But upon wandering down the hall, he caught a familiar scent. He stepped inside the library and glanced around before he was called out to. Luke whipped around to his pack mate, flashing her a grin as he jogged over. “Hey, Sam!” He greeted in a rather loud voice, getting a quite adamantly irritated shhh from a student sitting at a table in the corner. Luke huffed at them but stopped beside the other werewolf. His attention flickered to the list, only to stifle laughter. “Lupus Scruff?” Luke scoffed. “Sounds like that guy from Harry Potter.” 

~

She grinned back at Luke. “Yeah, I bet this guy was a member of the Hayes pack. They all grow up as wolves, might as well name their kids some on-the-nose reference.” Samantha put her list down on the library counter with a groan. “I haven’t been in a school in years, I’m getting hives just thinking about all the studying we’re going to have to do.” She glanced around the library, then back at Luke with a pout. “Any chance we can escape back to the pack, and let them know this place is a sham?”

It was odd how one minute he could feel absolutely fine, strolling along and enjoying the view, and the next he could be diving behind a stone half-wall, one hand over his ear and trying to convince himself everything was okay. Everything was okay, the sound of those tiny bang pop firecrackers followed by the hysterical laughter of a couple of assholes. But with recent events still in mind, the bodies of those who had tried so hard to protect everyone burned into his memory, he couldn’t help but panic initially, a response unlike the dhampir he knew he needed to be. Ready to fight, not hide. Ready to protect. He’d been ready, active and immediately jumping into the fray when it happened, but now…now he felt afraid. Slowly he let his hand fall away from his ear, though he didn’t move to get up. Instead he sat for a second, just trying to process his own reaction, trying to gauge what it meant. Not good things, that was for sure. “You know you can’t sneak up on me, right?” He said offhandedly to the person on the other side of the wall he’d dropped behind, then leaning his head back to look up at them. “Despite the state I’m in right now.”

Samantha took a seat a few feet away from him, arms circling around her knees as she gazed at him. “I wouldn’t try to sneak up on anyone here,” she said defensively. “Y’all are a different breed of crazy, with dragons and banshees and what not.” 

Samantha offered him a comforting smile - he seemed shaken, and who wouldn’t be after the carnage of the past week? When the wolves had learned of the attack, her pack leader had jumped into action. The wolves had normally kept to themselves, away from the watchful eyes of Lennox resident and Acadia (for both sides’ safety, really). But the strigoi’s actions were atrocious, and standing by idly did not sit well with any pack of wolves. She sighed and glanced to the sky. “So, is this your hiding spot, or can I call dibs as well?”

location: courtyard status: open @acadiahqstarters​

Lennon had always liked the early hours. When the sky was gray and the world was quiet, though he supposed here at Acadia it was rarely as quiet as what he had once been accustomed to. He was sitting cross-legged on the dew-covered grass, restless fingers picking at single blades as he sat, looking like he was waiting for something. Though there wasn’t really anything to wait for, so in actuality he was waiting for anything. And the first ‘anything’ came in the form of a toad that croaked as it hopped close to him. His implants picked up just enough of the rasping sound for him to cringe, looking at the small creature. For a moment he scowled at it, and then the next obnoxious croak was cut short by a growl he hadn’t meant to let out, but it caused the toad to freeze in place and then quickly hop away. Lennon continued to pick at the grass, cheeks flushed as he realized he’d done it again, letting instinct take over instead of having control over his wolf. He was grateful there wasn’t anyone around to hear it, oblivious to the individual just behind him.

“The wolf’s mortal enemy... the toad,” Samantha chuckled and she knelt down next to Lennon. “You’ve saved us all, Lennon, we are forever grateful.” She glanced over at him with a small smile. “What are you doing up so early? Couldn’t sleep?” Samantha sighed, fingers weaving through the wet grass and letting the dew linger on her fingers, sending a slight shiver through her spine. “I couldn’t sleep either,” she admitted. “This school seems so... confining compared to the great outdoors I’ve grown used to.”
