I sat in the icy cold sand, fingers dancing on the chords of a guitar. My honey sweet, feather soft, yet loud angel like voice sung softly.

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbors think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have

Chorus:

At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself

Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah
I've gone mad
But they don't know
what I know

Cause when the
sun goes down
someone's talking back
Yeah
They're talking back

Chorus:

At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

Ahh Ahh,
Ahh Ahh,

Do you ever hear me calling?
Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon
Still trying to get to you

In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away

When I finshed I looked up at the full low hanging moon, almost hoping there was someone I could talk to with out my outbrust of rude comments that tended to send any possable friend running. I shook my head, no I'm just fine! I talk to my brother, sometimes. And who am I kiding, he hates too.

Nothing felt right today, I thought angrily as I stormed towards the lake. I got scorched by the lava at the Climbing Wall, and the conspicuous burn mark on my left cheek was evidence enough that I was horrible at training. Again, I was ignored, even by those people I call my "siblings." I'm fine with it, really. Hades kids don't exactly have a rep for being cool kids down the block. I stopped my movements when I heard a comforting sound.

It's...beautiful, I thought.

In the distance, I saw the silhouette of a person with flowing red hair, sitting on the sand with her fingers brushing over the strings of her guitar, as if the strings were part of her fingers. I was mesmerized by the movement, flowing in harmony with the person's clear, angelic voice. It was like watching an artist making his progress at a masterpiece. I squinted, hoping to make out the visage of the person. It was a girl, no doubt.

I look around, seeing no one else. No mortal would be out at this time of the night. Oh well, I don't mind company. Maybe they won't ignore me this time, I decided, moving towards her.

"You have a cool voice," I declared, sitting next to her after she finished. "What's this song called?"

I jumped slightly as someone commented, my cheeks seemed to heat with my control. Blinking a few times I turned and looked at the guy, "Um.. thanks, it's Talking to the Moon" I said, looking up at the moon it's self. My storm colored eyes wouldn't met his face. Of course, i'm the only child of Euterpe afeird to sing in public. I sat my guitar to the side and looked at him curois, what's he doing out here?

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:37 pm

She seemed like the loner type. Great, we might have something in common. "Sorry I scared you there," I muttered.

I looked up and stared in awe. And stared some more. The view of the stars and the lone moon was breathtaking. It made me forget my problems for a while.

I turned towards her, noticing the expression on her face. She looked a little...dispirited. "Bad day?" I murmured.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 05, 2011 4:10 pm

I smiled lightly, and nodded when they spoke first. "Bad year" I said just thinking, I missed home, I missed daddy. Looking at the moon it seemed so proud, yet mocking, always in her never ending dance with the earth.
Micthel right? or Raine?

(It's actually Mihael, simply the Slovenian form of Michael. I changed the font colour because it's hard to read with this dark background.)

I studied her for a moment. She seemed friendly, maybe a little distrusting of me. I mean, why not, when you're a Hades kid?

"I see. The same goes for me. Nobody ever remembers my name, or at least, they don't seem to care," I sighed.

I picked up a flat pebble and tossed it nonchalantly at the lake, skipping and gliding in the water before letting itself sink to the bottom. I glanced at the redhead again and introduced myself.

"I'm Mihael, by the way." I stuck out my hand with a tiny, sheepish grin.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 05, 2011 4:54 pm

I looked at his hand for a painfully arkward secound before grabbing it loosy and kinda wareyly, "Juliana Roxanne, but I go by J.R" I said softly. Dropping my head I brushed the dark hair from behind my ear where it curled around my shoulder.

Digging my fingers right under the sand I smiled and made a mental note of his name, 'Mihael- does not hate me yet'

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 05, 2011 7:18 pm

"Nice to meet you, J.R.," I replied. After a while the silence got a little uncomfortable. "Uh..." I started. "So...that guitar. Uhm, you should teach me how to play one sometimes, although I'll probably turn out horrible."

My attempt at making conversation was not really my best point. Usually people try to make me talk, but not this time. For some reason, I felt that this girl and I would have quite a few things in common.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 05, 2011 8:38 pm

I rolled my eyes, "Please, I'm only good becuase of my parnets. But I guess I could" I said with a small smile. I don't know why but I felt confortable. Like for once I didn't have the urge to insult, or just talk back to someone. I felt almost like, I might get a friend. Drawing a line in the sand I looked down to she I had dribbled my last name and my famous father's siguture shape thingy. Well you'd only regoinize if you ever seen anything with country music. I sighed looking at the line 'Stephins'.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:17 pm

I blinked. I didn't understand. How could your parents influence your talent? Wouldn't your talent be there because you loved what you do?

I sighed. "Well, thanks. I'd have something to do in my spare time. But, uh, what does your parents do exactly?"

My eyes traveled to where she drew random shapes in the sand. I peeked at her face and couldn't decide what colour her eyes were.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:02 pm

I frowned, "Well my greek parnet is Euterpe, goddess of music. The other is a country singer" I said then rolled my stromy eyes into the darkness. "So yeah, I'm a natural." Knowing I'd love if I could of just been born alittle plainer and had to leearn how to do things like that. But I didn't get things like that.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Mon Feb 07, 2011 8:01 pm

"But you do have talent, J.R.! What kind of talent could someone like me, a child of Hades, have?" I sputtered out, then shocked myself to silence. Usually I never spoke like that to anyone. I rarely tell anyone who my god parent was, letting them figure it out to themselves. I've seen the way Hades kids are looked down on with disdain. I suddenly found the sand interesting and played with the sleeve of my shirt.

"Us Hades kids...we don't have much of a good rep. When something bad happens, they automatically blame us. You music kids, they like you. You guys make people happy because they love listening to you perform. For us, they think us all to be goth or emo or whatever those Euro trends are called, and that we hate everyone, so they just stay away. Even my own siblings don't remember my name."

I looked at the sky with contempt. The stars were taunting me and my loneliness because they were all together, all one billion of them.

I looked at him almost shocked for a moment, "Well, true, but I don't streotype well. And really I'm not a preformer." Knowing I'd get a comment of somesort I said, "Stagefright" Softly.

Looking up at him after a moment I said, "Sad, no one rememing your name though, it's quite nice, Mihael" I said with a sweet friendly smile.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 12, 2011 10:30 pm

I looked at J.R.'s face and saw genuine sympathy. She was really a nice girl, and maybe we'll turn out to be good friends.

My lips curved up into a tiny smile. "Thanks," I replied, and I meant it.

I stood up and offered my hand.

"It's getting late. Wanna head back?" I extended my hand out to her, offering her to take it.

(Do you want to continue roleplaying here, or you want to make a new topic someplace else? It's up to you, really.)

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 12, 2011 10:49 pm

(Here's fine)

I smiled and took his hand gently and stood up. "Just to warn you, I'm not always the nicest person. But I try to be nice, it's just a bad habit.

I looked down at my hand and let it slowly slip from his hand and looking back up. I felt the redish tinge fade "Lets go" I said with a smile.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 12, 2011 11:07 pm

My chuckles erupted into giggles.

"And who ever said I was the nicest person? I don't exactly cuddle up to people or give them warm hugs and kisses and stare at rainbows with golden puppies with them, you know." I grinned.

My eyes met hers and I caught the faintest red tint on her cheeks, visible under the pale moonlight's soft glow. Was I imagining it? I let go of her hand for a minute and faced her.

"You're blushing," I voiced my thoughts out loud, my face leaning closer towards hers. "Are you alright?" I asked concernedly. A distressing thought settled into the pit of my stomach, and worriedly I pressed my forehead against her's without warning.

"J.R., are you alright?"

Maybe we'd been been out in this cold darkness for too long.

(Alright then!)

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 12, 2011 11:36 pm

I rolled my eyes and brushed his hand away giggleing quitly. "It's nothing" I said smiling that it caused my nose to srunch adoralby.

I looked down. "Urm.. it's getting cold maybe we should.." I pointed towards the camp. Towards warmth.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sat Feb 12, 2011 11:44 pm

I brushed off any unsettling thoughts. I hoped she wasn't sick. She was outdoors longer than I was.

I nodded and headed towards the camp. My eyes flickered over to my wrists for a moment before forgetting that I didn't have my watch. I had lost track of time. How long had we been out?

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:02 am

I wasn't in a big hurry to get home, but I didn't linger to long, I was starting to cold. I frowned and made a little sniffle from the icy air burning my trought.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:09 am

My head snapped towards J.R.'s direction at the sound of her sniffling. "I knew it! You're sick!" I cried, rushing towards her. I put my hands on her shoulders. "Why didn't you say so?" I panicked.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:35 am

I shook my head. "Clam down!" I said smiling. "It's just because of the cold, I'm fine" I taped his nose once and giggled. "I'd be better if I got were warm. I said with a smile.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:55 am

I paused, surprised, and realized that I was overreacting a little. My face flushed in slight embarassment, having worried about nothing, and smiled back shyly at her. I jumped when I felt a gentle tap on my nose. I nodded at her again and wordlessly headed towards the camp, mixed emotions stirring within me.

Subject: Re: J.R in the Sand. (closed) Sun Feb 13, 2011 9:09 am

I smiled and walked back to the beach with Mihael keeping my stormy eyes fixed on the ground. I was carful not to sneeze with the fresh new smell of perfume as we entered the camp by the Aprodite cabin. I walked alittle faster to get past there. I held the brigde of my nose so I wouldn't sneeze. once it pasted I looked at the moon, it looked like day time it was so bright.
