Shade walked into one of the empty rooms and closed his golden eyes beginning to think. Soon enough his thoughts became reality, well not exactly...but you could them.
His room was amazingly awesome. Dark, navy blue walls and plush black carpet that felt good on bare feet. It was broken down into two levels. On the higher level was most of the room, but if you went down just one step you'd be where the couch was and where the plasma screen TV was, too. The very middle has a beautiful glass dining table complete with black upholstered chairs. He had a large bed with black sheets and navy pillows to match the walls and carpet. Many unique lamps were scattered in just the right places to creative the perfect lighting, not too dim and not too bright. And of course as requested, there we many pillows on the large bed along with overly sized fluffy blankets that were extremely soft. A bookcase was in the corner filled with countless books, beside it was a CD rack filled with many CD's of all genres. Finally, beside the CD rack was a Movie rack, filled with all kinds of movies of all different ratings. There was a walk-in closet on the one wall that was magically filled with all kinds of new outfits and everything. Stereos were on both sides of the plasma TV, can you say surround sound? A rather large window was pasted on the wall next to the bed, if you looked out of it you'd find a lovely view of the ocean. Everything was very sophisticated, but modern as well. There were so many things if the room, you'd never get bored. The plasma TV was mounted onto the wall so you could see it from any place in the room. Beneath it was an amazing entertainment system, complete with every single video game station imaginable, a DVD/VCR player, another stereo that played tapes and CD's. On the right of the TV was a lovely fireplace built into the wall. Then there was a door that led to the beautifully designed bathroom. Everything seemed to match, and there was a walk-in shower that had a sit-in bathtub inside of it. The toilet and sink were black and the bathroom tile was navy blue. The towels were navy blue as well and there was another closet in the bathroom with every imaginable shampoo, conditioner, soap, ect....inside. You'd never run out of choices of what you wanted to smell like. It was all just so cool, so clean and tidy. Room dreams do come true.

Maia stood behind Shade as the room took form, shaped into a nicely made room with about anything a rich person would have. But certainly not her. She looked around Shade's shoulder to get the full view of the room, her hands wrapped loosely around his arm. When it was complete, she slipped away toward the entertainment system, looking at the cd's and movies neatly placed on the shelves. Maia's ruby orbs drifted over to the books, seeing all types of genres. Fantasy, romance, violence, mystery, history, everything! I rarely got to read as a child... she thought as she picked out a book called "The Sight." It was a paperback book and quite thick, the lettering a bit small yet easy to read. On the cover were two golden eyes surrounded briefly by white fur. It was clearly a wolf-based book. Placing the book back on the shelf, she wandered back over to the movies.
I wonder what movie we should watch. Maybe horror.... or maybe a comedy. Vampires always fascinated me, but so did fairy tales... I'm not too sure on romance, though... Maia had no idea what to pick out and it was only flustering her when she couldn't pick. "I don't know what to watch. There's so many movies here and I've never really watched any as I grew up. I've never had the luxury...." she admitted, eyes still scoping out an interesting movie. She almost seemed like a child, waiting anxiously to go inside a movie theater to watch the movie she had been waiting for.

Shade gazed around the room, obviously pleased at how it came out. "Heh, just how I pictured it," he said with a smile as he explored the room. He looked out the large window, such a beautiful view of the sparkling ocean and beach. Everything seemed so perfect. Shade glanced back at her, watching as she walked around looking at everything as well. He also never had the luxury of living like this as a child, those were hard times. "Hmm I don't know what to watch either," he said now standing by her side. "I didn't have the chance to watch movies either." He grinned at her, "Well you have your pillows and blankets now." he commented with a slight laugh, "I made sure to think them up." Shade ran a hand through his hair again, it was even messier now. "Hmm I need to get a comb or something..." he said making his way into the amazing bathroom.
The bathroom was almost cooler then the room. There was a huge shower with a bathtub inside of it. It was very sophisticated looking with the sleek counters, jet black toilet and everything. He walked over to the counter and opened the cabinet hanging on the wall. Low and behold there was a comb, lucky him. He almost laughed, it was cool finding exactly what you needed. "I think this is the only reason I like this place," he commented walking back to where she was after combing his hair, it didn't really help. "And meeting new people like you."[/size]

Maia almost dropped the DVD she was holding and carefully put it on the shelf before she did. "People like me? I'm not all that special, really..." she murmured, keeping her eyes on the DVD cases in front of her. With a short sigh, she grabbed a random movie from the shelf and stood, looking at it. "This one seems interesting... Let's watch it." The movie was called "Four Brothers" and she had absolutely no clue on what it was about. She glanced at Shade, managing a small smile.

"Yes you are, no one else can listen as well as you, and you're very understanding. No many people are like then, hence you're special." he told her still grinning. His eyes wandered to the movie she was holding and he nodded. "Sounds good to me, let's watch it." Shade walked over to the smooth black leather couch that was very long and in an interesting design. He sat down and pulled on of the levers on the side of it and this thing came out under his feet. Shade blinked in amazement, "Woah that's cool..." he commented with another slight laugh, "never sat in anything like this before....".[/size]

Maia opened the case and took out the disc, opening the glass door to the DVD player. Pushing the open button, she carefully placed the disc inside, then closed it, laying the case on top of the player and closed the glass door. She then took a seat on the couch, slowly leaning backward against the leather. It was a bit uncomfortable for her, seeing as all she had as a child was torn up furniture and the streets to turn to. Now it felt like a heaven here if this is the stuff she could get. Pulling her feet up on the couch, she glanced over at Shade, who was about a foot or so away. "So... do you have the remote thing? 'Cause I didn't grab it..."

"Yup, here you go." he said handing her the remote she needed. Shade was perfectly comfortable even though it had been the same way with him. His parents could never afford anything luxurious. Yup, he was use to a creaking and torn up couch, hard wooden chairs that would wobble and everything. A horrible bed he had to share with his sister, it hurt their backs and you could feel the springs inside of it. It was just...a hard childhood. Yet now as an adult it was pretty nice if you exclude the fact of where he was, oh if only they were free and had this....it'd be great. Shade waited for her to turn everything on, eyes fixed of the TV screen. "Hmm we're missing something...." he said pausing to think. Soon enough a bowlof fresh, hot popcorn appeared between them. He grinned even more, "That's it." he said and took a handful putting the puffy things in his mouth.

Maia switched the television on, the image of movie trailers already showing from the time elapsed since she had put the disc in. Looking at the remote, she pressed the button marked 'menu,' then pushed the play button. Immediately, the movie started up and she set the remote down next to the bowl of popcorn, sitting up straighter and wrapping her arms around her legs. Her azure hair was like a curtain around her, her bangs barely reaching her ruby eyes that were trained on the television screen, anxious to see what the movie was like. Once it started though, the butterflies in her stomach were replaced with a sick realization that it couldn't always be like this. Time wouldn't stop so she could enjoy this little ray of light in her life, nor would it stop Shade from going into the Cage. Now that he's normal again, they're going to force him to fight now... she thought, resting her chin on her knees.

Shade didn't even think of that, it never crossed his mind that he would have to fight now. He was too lost in the excitement of meeting Maia and having his new room the realization of everything hadn't hit him yet. He continued to watch the movie, it seemed really interesting. Randomly he'd reach into the bowl and eat another handful of popcorn. When the bowl became empty he just thought it refilled and it did. "This is so awesome," he said with a smile looking away from the tv and at her. "I wish it could be like this all of the time, imagine how life would be. It'd be great don't you think?".[/size]

Maia looked away from the screen, glancing at Shade. "Yeah," she said, managing a smile. "We wouldn't have to worry about stuff and keep having to look over our shoulders all the time..." She suddenly heard the gun shots on the movie and her heart jolted. Looking back at the movie sharply, she listened to the next part. Their mother got shot...? She was suddenly feeling sick to her stomach, but Maia didn't want to alert Shade. Sitting back to look relaxed a little, she reached inside the bowl, but she kept her eyes on the TV screen, the sound of the gunshot still ringing in her mind.

As soon as the gunshot sound his gaze averted to the tv, wide as can be. He took in the scene, how it brought back horrible memories. Shade stared at the TV, so many mixed emotions to descibe. Mostly shock, fear, and heartbreak. He stayed completely silent unable to look away as the movie continued to play. He didn't respond to Maia's comment, Shade was lost at the moment...lost inside his own memories. The memory of that day his parents died flashed through his mind and the gunshot could be heard over and over. He wanted to scream out, anything to make it stop...but he didn't. He let the memory take over and eat away at him, it was tearing him up inside. You could easily see how tormented he looked. His face was strained and his hands had wandered to the side of his head, palms covering his ears as if he were blocking an annoying sounded. He clenched his teeth together closing his eyes tightly. "Make it stop..." he said quietly, barely a breathed out whisper....

Right when Shade's hands had reached his ears, Maia's head began to hurt. She put a hand to her own head and glanced at Shade, barely in time to see his mouth move. Her eyes flashed wide, sharply looking at the screen again. Shit... I knew I should have seen what it was about. This isn't good for either of us.. she thought, hand slamming down on the cough to find the remote. Instead, it hit the popcorn bowl, sending the popcorn and the bowl itself flying to the floor. With shaking hands, she snatched up the remote and, after about six tries, finally stopped the movie and dropped the remote, moving toward Shade.
"Shade!" she exclaimed worriedly, left hand wrappingn lightly around his right wrist. "Shade, don't try to remember. Don't think about it. It'll only hurt you in the end and you.. you'll end up closing yourself off from everyone..." I would know first hand... Please, Shade. Come back to the present. Come back to... me, she thought desperately. If he went insane and went anti-social, her one chance at trying to be her old self would have gone to waste and she knew she'd never try again.

The sound of the gunshot was replaced with her beautiful voice. Soon the memories began to fade away with it and he opened his eyes ever-so-slightly. "Let's....not watch ths movie anymore..." he said again in the quiet voice as his hands slowly moved away from his head. his golden eyes opened fully and he looked back at her, face worn with an expressionless look. Shade ran a hand over his face and sighed, "Ok, I'm putting that movie in the 'never watch again' pile." he said shaking his head. He looked pretty bad, the break-down had made him look tired and exhausted. His eyes closed again, face toward the ceiling. he began to speak again, "Ugh....stupid...memories...."[/size]

Maia let out her breath slowly as he spoke, let go of his past. Fear had gripped her hard, had tears standing in her eyes, ready to spill over at any given second. She leaned back against the couch, facing forward, yet her hand was still around his wrist. It felt like her connection to him, to keep him from loosing his humanity in his past. Maia tilted her head down, making her hair mask her face as she wiped lightly at her face to get rid of the tears finally streaming down her face. "I agree..." she muttered.

Shade nodded and opened his eyes once more to look back at her. Her azure hair covered her pretty face so he moved it aside gently with his hands. He frowned even more when he noticed she was crying. "It's okay to cry, you don't need to hide it." he told her brushing the tears away with his thumb. He gave her a quick hug and stood up, stretching out his arms with a quiet yawn. "Tired..." he said rubbing his face again, "Need something to wake me up." He stood there thinking for a moment. Finally an idea popped into his head, "Ah yeah...shower. They always wake me up." he said with a laugh, "It won't take me long, promise." He pulled his black shirt over his head, revealing his muscular chest [sorry -cracks up- IJUSTHADTOSAYTHAT] that would have made those girl who were chasing them early stop to drool. He stood there waiting for her response before he went into the bathrom to make sure she had heard. [/size]
