Rainy Days (Open)

[Jasmine Leigh Markus]

Jasmine stood up and turned away from them, walking over to the window and pointing at the roses in one of the garden beds. "I came in for one of these. The man that answered the door was mean. He tricked me and tried to hurt me. But I don't hate him. I still think he is good, somewhere... deep inside. I know it."

She spoke softly, her voice barely more than a whisper. She turned to look at them. "I can't believe that there is no good in people. The way I am... The way I live, it's about helping people. I can't hate or be mean. I help people overcome themselves."

[Emro Deucalion and Elspeth]

Emro followed Jasmine over to the window, and Elspeth followed him like a little puppy dog. He laughed a bit "How can you not hate him? He tricked you into the mansion, and now you're trapped in here for all eturnity. To never grow old, and not never experience life beyond these gates. Never seeing exotic lands and never getting married."

Emro clenched a fist and his body began to shake. His eyes stared directly into her's, as if he was peering into her very sould "You go around with this whole 'everyone is good' mask, and yet, you never have experienced true evil have you. You came into the mansion just to get flowers. While it was a life or death sitauation for me.

I grew up in a small town. A small town where it was heavily religious. Where...a person with red and white eyes would be considered a devil child. When I popped out of the womb, the doctors said I was marked by the devil. My parents never loved me because of that. If I ever did anything wrong, I'd be beatin, starved and sent out to work. No matter what the weather was outside.

One day, it was snowing, and I some how came across an Ouija Board. I heard that you could talk to spirits using it. Well, I wanted to talk to grandma and grandpa." Emro paused to laugh "I spent the rest of that day out in the snow"

Emro placed his hand on the window. Elspeth tilted her head to her master, and quickly went to his side. "Ninety Nine percent of the town thought I was a demon, or a witch. Due to my appearence and my interest in the paranormal. When my parents abandoned me and moved away, they thought I sacraficed them.

That is why people can be hated. that is why in some people there is no good. That is why I cause fear in people. To show them true fear. With my abilities I can make it a reality. Force them to see what I want them to see. You can call it revenge."
