Hail great Spiral *Open to Casters*

[Lazarus Grey]

It had been a long time since Laza had been out of his cave, there had been to many things going on, and he had been scared pretty much to get himself into any trouble. He had some things that he was responsible for, and that was what he was going after in the end. The day had started out well, Laza had been sleeping in late that day in his home, he was glad that he had this place, it was one of the safe places he could go with out anyone bothering him to much at least. The day was cool and crisp and you could tell that the change in the season was going to be coming soon, and he liked it a lot. When he did finally get up from his sleeping he looked a bit like someone had stuck his finger in a light socket and had pushed him over in the water or something. He had been having a bad dream so he was a little sweaty and what not, he just hated being like that. The dream was rather off as well, it just reminded him that he was in a sad world right now.

Getting up he went into his bathroom and took a shower, to wake him up and to wash himself off, he did not want to go out of his house and smell bad, that would be something kind of gross. Laza didn’t know what he wanted to do that day, there were so many things that he could do, from go and check on the other wolfs and the clan, or he could go down and check on the casters and see what hey were doing at that time. Oh he knew, he would go down to the house and see if anyone he knew was up and about that day, he would stay in the back so that he did not bother most people, that would just be bad if he got into trouble for scaring the kids and all. So once he was done and got out of the shower, he changed into some nice clothes, looking as best as he could for this whole thing. He ran his fingers through his hair and made sure that it looked alright, he was going to come off as a nice guy, no more of this bad wolf image if he could help it.

Once that was done he moved down to the main floor of his house and out the front door, grabbing an apple along the way. He walked the normal path that he always took when he was going to go down to the casters area. Munching on his apple, he was keeping a look out at everything that was going on around him, and enjoying the whole time. It was such a nice day, he did not want any of it to end, there was something about that day that had a good ring to it as well. There were birds and animals, all running around the forest. So much had changed since the great death, it had not been that long ago, and he remembered all the sick and dieing that had been everywhere. All the stupid humans, why did they ever do that to themselves. He was glad he had not been a human, now though he had to deal with this stupid war because stupid Vampires had to get it in there head that they were better then everyone else, when they so weren’t at all. He sighed, dropping the last of the apple to the ground he came up to the gate, leaning some on it he looked up at the great house. It was interesting, how very interesting that they would make this. It was cool though, so now he just stud there and waited.

[Izabella Andretti]

No one could possibly know how hectic an orphanage got when a single person was running it. Izabella had been so caring towards everyone that she had opened one and taken in orphaned children to take care of. She had to run a school inside of it, along with a kitchen and everything else, yet she was the only adult working there. On rare occasions other adults would stop in and help, and it was true that the now older children were quite helpful by taking care of the younger ones – but the influx of orphans, the rate they were coming in compared to the rate they were leaving was sad. In other words: she just didn’t have enough energy to take care of all the kids. In response to this astonishing declaration, Izabella had decided it was best to request help from the Caster leader. It would be in her, and all the children’s best interests to have more adult help. Perhaps the only other adult who was ever around the orphanage for a long period of time was the, what seemed to be, the protector. An unknown creature who seemed intent on keeping the orphanage and everyone in it, safe. Izabella had been through quite a few brutal relationships in the past, and each seemed to be taken away “mysteriously” at the peak of their abuse. One had to wonder what or who was interfering. She could only assume it was an adult, because no child could take on a fully grown dragon.

“Vicerine, can you go catch Arnie for me? He’s taken off yet again. I swear little boy shifters shouldn’t grow wings until they’re a little less hyper!” Izabella picked up a dog under one of her arms, which quickly shifted back into another little boy and then a cat with her other hand, who shifted back into a little girl. “Matty and Lilly, please go to your rooms and clean up for me!” Izzy set the two down, and they were off running. She then turned around and started to pick up toys off the floor. She was such a sucker, she always bought more toys for the children, and they always seemed to end up on the floor all over the building. “JACK JACK! Can you please go catch Timmy and put him in his room?!” She yelled over a bunch of kids screaming and playing in one of the living rooms. She really did love children, but they left such a mess and she was probably watching a few too many. “Ellie! Can you cook the grilled cheese for lunch?!” Izzy called out to one of the other older kids. She put a bunch of toys back into the box nearby and then rubbed her forehead. “I need to go change and then head into the Caster town! Vicerine, Jack Jack, Ellie, you guys are in charge for now alright? Please keep everyone in line for me?!” She quickly exited to her room, immediately pulling off her shirt and pants to change into something nicer. She’d been running around with children all day, and really simple pants and shirt wouldn’t look good in front of the Caster leader.

Izzy pulled on a dress then quickly re-brushed her hair and put on her rosary beads. Even if they didn’t repel vampires, it was sort of like her comfort blanket. The fact that they were supposed to ward off vampires was good enough for her. She quickly slid on nicer shoots then left the orphanage after giving a little girl who bumped her knee a kiss on her “boo-boo”. With that, Izzy was in a rush to head for the caster main home. Her journey wasn’t long, or hard. She got to the gates fairly quickly, but found herself standing next to Lazarus at the gates. His house was actually fairly close to the orphanage. (seeing as Izabella housed even young dragons and vampires, she was told she could not have the orphanage inside the city). “Hey Mr. Fuzzy,” she teased immediately. “Need to get inside?” she pulled a key from between the leather wrap and her dress and unlocked the gate. “Have something important to talk to the almighty about?” Again, she was teasing. “How’ve you been?”

[Lazarus Grey]

Laza was pretty sure that one day, he was going to get yelled at for what some people would think that he was stalking people. He wasn’t stalking people, he just liked to make sure that everyone was safe, he was a very sensitive kind of guy, and it all came down to the fact that he wanted to keep everyone happy and safe there around there. So he was a little bit nuts, and he had some things that he could be doing, but no one wanted to see him, so why did he care that he was going to be hanging around some people that were nice and happy to be there for once. He was happy that he had some friends, and people that were caring, and fighting on the same side of things, just wanting to be bright and happy, and just sweet that was what made him think about her. She being the person that was running that orphanage with all the little kids that were there, he liked kids, and he didn’t care what kind of kids they were, a kid was a kid and had all right to be safe and happy and out of this stupid war.

He remembered back when he was young, back when he had been left out of his families pack because his father did not want him. That had been the one thing that had stung him more then anything else in the whole world. His father had not wanted him because he was not his, his mother had slept with another wolf and so he had been from another male, and his father knew that and had kicked him out of the pack at a young age. His mother was able to nurse him so he wouldn’t die right away, but once he was able to fend for himself he was gone, kicked out and had not seen his mother since then, as far as he knew she was dead, and his father had killed her. He doesn’t even talk to his brothers and sisters because none of them like him. So he had always been on the outside of things, always not wanted and not needed, just someone that people looked down on because they thought that he was a no one, and a nothing, that was why he worked around the caster place they were nice people to him.

That was why he was here, he just wanted to have some time with people that he got along with. He wanted to hang out with someone that he knew accepted him for who he was, and did not care that he had no family, and was alright with being who he was. So he had ended up right there at the gate, looking in there, watching some of the people that were walking around and all, but he had a grumpy look on his face thanks to the fact that sometimes he was grumpy. But once he heard the voice of one of his best friends, calling him Mr Fuzzy and all that he couldn’t help cracking up and smiling. "Hey hey to you to little miss caster" He said in a joking way, with a grin on his face once, feeling a lot better to be around someone that he got along with. She was unlocking the gate and he just moved back for a moment and thinking about what he was going to say now. "Actually, I was waiting here for you." He said honestly as he went into the place with her, now that he had the right to come in now. "See how you were, how the kids were, and all that kind of stuff, along with asking if you would like to have dinner with me tonight?" He asked, actually this was all new to him, it just hit him when she showed up there now.

[Izabella Andretti]

Izabella laughed lightly, giving a lively smile in Lazarus’ direction. He was, in every sense of the word – adorable. She raised her eyebrow when he said he had been waiting there for her. Odd; then again she hadn’t seen or gotten a chance to talk to him in awhile. She slid the key back in between the leather wrap and her dress once more, then turned and looked at him. Honestly, his question caught her off guard. She certainly hadn’t been expecting him to ask her to dinner or anything like that, especially when she had come for the sole reason to ask for the caster community to lend her some workers. But the fact that the orphanage took up her entire attention now; she hardly had time for dates or boyfriends. A love life just wasn’t possible for her at the time, and she wasn’t sure if it’d ever be possible for her to get back into the swing of that, especially when someone had been removing the men who she’d date. She didn’t want Lazarus to entirely disappear in the middle of the night or something. She was unsure what the protector would do if she brought Lazarus into the orphanage. (Again, she was clueless as to who the protector was).

“Laza… I… would love to but you know I have the orphanage and the kids to take care of…” A date sounded so nice, relaxation in general sounded nice but she couldn’t afford to leave the kids long enough to relax. Because seriously, it wasn’t like she didn’t like him, (of course, in Izabella’s mind every “good boy” was just friend material, and that’s how she saw Lazarus) he was a good boy, a goodie two shoes, if you will, and generally the badass attracted her (probably the reason she couldn’t hold a stable relationship). “I don’t want to burst your bubble, but I really do have a lot of work… and no help.” She shrugged a little, though after eight o’clock at night, all children were in bed and she was able to relax, but that usually ended with her passed out cold. A caster only had so much energy in her; it was sad how much she ran herself dry, made her feel more like a human than anything else. Then again, she’d prefer to be as human as possible compared to vampires, who really didn’t have an ounce of humanity in them. Though, she had to admit even though Lazarus was a creature, he seemed more human than even some of the casters (IE the bitch Lillith, whom Izzy actually found a bit of hatred for.)

She started walking, since she needed to get her destination, she paused though for a minute and turned. “Hey silly, why don’t you walk with me?” She gave a light smile then turned on her heels so she was facing towards the house again. She needed to get this over and done with, and hopefully – by the end of the day, there’d be at least one other person helping around the orphanage. “You know you’re welcome to come over to the orphanage whenever you want… what have you been up to lately anyways? I mean… I haven’t seen you around. OH! I need to tell you, the other day someone had broken into the orphanage. I don’t know who it was, but one of the children insisted a big scary monster had come into their room… It used to be my room you know, I moved because it was the last large bedroom in the house and I need the bigger rooms to put the children in, five to a room in a small room isn’t very cozy.” She was blabbering on. That was really nothing new with Izzy, she had a tendency of getting excited easily and talking a lot.

[Lazarus Grey]

Laza never felt like a bad guy when he was around Iza, she was always nice to him and he was always nice to her when he could be around her. It was just nice, and he was happy to be nice around her as well. He knew all the work that she had been doing with the kids and everything, he knew that he had to do some more work for her as well. He thought about building some more rooms and what not for her, because well, he was good with his hands and good with building. He had always thought that she liked nice people, and so he worked hard being nice to her, and being nice to the kids, taking out the people that he thought were not right to her. That was why so many men had been disappearing away from her, because they were not nice, and they were going to hurt her, and he was not going to have that. He was her protector, and she was not going to know about that because he thought she would be mad at him for doing things like that, he just wanted her happy there.

He sighed a little bit, and felt a little bit defeated but he knew she was right, she had the kids to take care of first before she could have things on her own. And he knew, he was a good guy, but that was what he thought she wanted, and it just seemed to be something that he was trying to be for her. It felt kind of odd, being turned down with a lot of things, maybe that was why he was alone all the time, he was to good, he was to caring and to wanting to help people out. "Yeah I understand, that’s no worries Iza, maybe i can come over and make dinner for everyone." He offered as well, just wanting to be able to help other people as well, just something he wanted to spend one night around other people, and not alone in his small home with just himself and the air around him. "I know you have a lot of work with the kids, and if you need me i would be glad to come and help out as well as much as i can. In fact i got something in work for you already, but its not done yet." He said and shrugged some.

She started walking away up to where she was going, and he watched for a moment, until she said that he could come with her. So he shoved his hands into his pockets and hung his head a little bit, just like a bad dog would do if they could walk like that. He sighed a bit and looked at the place around him as he was walking with her, it was always interesting there, lots of things going on as well. He listened to her as she started to talk about him coming over and about how someone had broke into her old room where she had put some of the kids, and they said it was some kind of monster, he had to kick himself, why didn’t he think that she would move her room, and he had been in wolf form, he bit his lip, he had only been there so that he could check on her. He sighed and nodded some as he shifted on his feet, so that he could think about how he was going to play hat off. "Well, don’t you all worry I will keep an eye out on this monster that had come around." He said reassuringly, well as best he could sound.

[Izabella Andretti]

Izabella frowned. She didn’t like turning him down, but she really did have a lot of work to do and little time to really do anything else. She smiled though when he suggested how he could make dinner. He was too kind. And adorable. She had to admit he was adorable. The kind of pinch-his-cheeks adorable; and really, Izzy didn’t think about it, but she knew his warmth from somewhere else. Like the bad nights she’d be having where suddenly everything became calm and she had peaceful dreams. Whenever… the person who protected her would come into her room… for some reason while walking that seemed to sink into her mind, and she paused in her steps. She turned to Laza and tilted her head to the side. She entirely stopped him as well, grabbing his arm quickly. She bit her lip lightly and pulled him back towards her. "Well, don’t you all worry I will keep an eye out on this monster that had come around." That merely confirmed her sudden suspicions. She grinned brightly and then threw her arms around his neck and hugged him. Oh yes, she figured it out. And she couldn’t be happier about this new found information.

“You’re the protector aren’t you?” She let go of him, a bright smile from ear to ear on her face. “You… kept me safe?” She giggled. Oh so maybe he wasn’t as much of a goodie two-shoes as she thought. “What did you do with all those men?” She rested her hands on his arms. “I mean… they just… disappear… They’ve never returned… even… the dragon.” Had she just flipped into flirt mode? Oh god. She was beginning to flirt. What the hell? The idea of him being a little bad ass, did that really change anything? Yes. Strange since it shouldn’t really have changed anything, but… her attraction to him just changed like that? She took a step towards him, coming closer. “You... had to fight them?” For the moment, getting more help for the orphanage entirely slipped her mind. “Laza… I… why don’t you move into the orphanage? I mean…” she blushed and looked down at her feet. ARGH! Now she decided to get shy? To flirt, giggle, be all… AGH!

This… badass part of him, she was becoming highly attracted to. The idea of him being able to take out a fully grown dragon was just… attractive to her. “Laza… I… uh… Crap, I’m not good with this.” she blushed and put her hand on her face and looked away. “Agh! Look Laza… If… you… uhm, come live at the… orphanage, ya know you don’t have to buy food or anything, that can be supplied and…” Her face probably couldn’t get any redder. “I uh… god I feel awkward right now I…” She stumbled and stuttered over her words. This usually, no, this NEVER happened. Not even with the guys who had hurt her. No, this was the first time she was stumbling over her words, attempting to babble but she couldn’t. God, she felt like an idiot at that moment. A giant stupid idiot, and she was blushing full on, even her ears were turning red.

[Lazarus Grey]

He, as in Laza, was pretty sure that she had someone else on the side, that was why she didn’t want to spend any time like that with him. If so he was going to have to look onto this person, so that he could judge if this one was good enough for his Iza, and he would be the judge if this one was going to last or not. He didn’t like people that hurt her, and he was going to do whatever he could to make sure that she was alright, that was his final and last wish in the world, to keep her safe. Her and all the kids that she took care of, they were like kids of his own to him, and they all deserved to be happy and safe, and wanted and to know that someone was looking out for them. That was all that he wanted to do, and it was this thought, this feeling that made him the man that he was, that made him strong and happy and just well, at peace with himself. It was also this thought that he was lost in when he was just about knocked off of his feet.

He felt kind of flushed when she started going on about him being the protector. Yeah he was and he was doing it so that they all here in that place was all going to be safe, and no one was going to harm them for anything, and that was something he was damned sure to make sure of. "Yeah I am Iza" He said looking down at the ground, feeling a bit flushed and ashamed or something, because he thought that she was going to hate him for the things that he had been doing to the there people that had tried to take her hand for things. He looked at her when she seemed to be happy it know about it. "So your not mad at me?" He asked as she seemed to be bubbling over herself with things that she was wanting to say, this was odd for him, no one would think she would be happy that she had someone like him protecting her and the kids that were living there. She then offered to let him move in with them, now that was something that he would love to take up on, not just for food, but for people he could get along with.

He laughed softly when she was stumbling over the things that she was saying, he knew what she meant, and he knew where she was going with this as well, he just had to get her to calm down. He moved over and hugged her tightly, wanting to let her know things where alright and she could just calm down and didn’t have to rush through words that’s he was making herself say. "I would love to come and live with you guys, so that way im there to protect you all, all the time with out a second through. Also, i like you, I really do like you a lot Iza, and the kids, i want to make sure that they are all safe and happy as well. And, if any bad people come, i can rip there heads off, the Dragon was easy to take care of, and he was not a nice guy, he just wanted to use you for the money and what not." He said shaking his head some as he rubbed her arms softly in the mean time, it was to clam her and himself down as well.
