Alex walked along the lake, then walked up along the dock and sat on the end. She was trying to figure out what a vision meant, what it's meaning was. So she decided that she should take a look and watch the waves. She felt the dock go up and down with the water. She was wearing light green flip-flops, light blue shorts that went the middle of her thighs, and a light green t-shirt with the saying "Don't be a follower, take action!" She would always wear a shirt with a saying. She heard people coming down to the lake, and she took the position of meditation and closed her eyes and breathing in through her nose and breathing out through her mouth.

Venus walked across the lawn down towards the lake, her hair was short and brown with bright orange tips, she had felt like being different this morning and her hair was reflecting that. Her eyes, gold with dark flecks darted around look for other people. She hugged her flute case and sheet music to her chest and saw a girl sitting out on the dock. She walked towards the lake and contemplated walking out to talk to the girl, she decided she might as well talk to her, even if it was only for a few minutes. She stepped onto the dock, her high tops squeaking and walked forward, "Hi," She said quietly, sitting down a little ways away from the girl, it was Alex a fellow member of Linton, "I'm Venus."

"Hello Venus" Alex said in a wispy voice, she didn't turn around. She had seen earlier in a vision of her's, of Venus approaching her and saying Hi. Then she opens her eyes, sketches quickly of the very recent visions in her sketch book, and turns around and looks up at Venus and says in a normal toned voice, with it not being wispy "I'm Alex. I used to be named Cassie. In my past life. You?"

Venus sighed and looked down at her reflection in the water, her hair lengthened and turned blond, her natural colour and her eyes turned back to her natural blue grey. She was back to her normal self, the appearance she had been given when she first arrived, "My name was Grace," She half-whispered. She didn't like talking about her past life, it had been horrible and would rather forget it. In her distress her hair darkened to black and her eyes turned a misty depressed grey.

"That's a cool name Grace." Alex started to suspect that Venus was like her, not liking talking about her past. She's probably had a bad past, and doesn't want to remember it. "So, how are classes?"

Veus shrugged her shoulders, "They're alright, not really helping me though. No one has a power like mine so I'm on my own. But I'm used to that." She looked down at the water and watched as her hair shortened. She put her sheet music down and put her flute case on top so the wind wouldn't blow it away. "How about for you?" [/color][/blockquote]

"Eh, they're just super boring. I haven't seen anyone with a power like mine yet. So we're technically in the same boat. You play the flute?" Alex smiles and looks at the flute case and music sheets.

Venus nodded shyly and wrung her hands together in her lap. "Yeah," She whispered and looked down in embarrassment. "But I'm really not that good." She was much too shy to ever play in front of anyone. She had been on her way to the forest to practice on her own when she had found Alex. [/color][/blockquote]

"I doubt it. I bet you play fine. Let me hear, unless you don't like playing in front of people. I could hide somewhere and listen..." Alex was trying to compromise, so she could hear Venus play, cause truly she doubted that Venus was a bad musician.

Venus was touched by Alex's kindness, "No, then I'd get that weird feeling that someone's watching me. I'll play a piece for you, but I'm not good." She opened the flute case, pulled the flute out and put the pieces together. The sun shone off her silver instrument and she felt calmer holding it. She decided that she wouldn't use her sheet music, she'd play a piece she had wrote and memorized. Taking in a deep breath she put the instrument to her lips and began playing.
As soon as the first note came Venus forgot her fears, she forgot that someone was there. All she was concentrating on was the music. Her fingers flew over the keys as she played her song and she felt much calmer. As she hit the last note she lowered the flute from her lips and looked over at Alex, her eyes flashing the same silver as her flute. [/color][/blockquote]

"Wow! That was awesome! Did you write it? Or did you memorize a music sheet?" She smiled widely, Venus was good at playing flute! Better then her on the piano.

Venus looked down shyly, "I wrote that piece. I'm working on my second piece but it's not going so well. And you really like it?" She asked amazed. When she had been alive no one had ever shown a care for what she had done and she had been constantly told she wasn't good enough, and she had believed it. [/color][/blockquote]

Alex nodded rapidly, meaning that she really, really liked it. I wonder why Venus is pretty much not believing me? Maybe someone from her past said that she was a bad flute player. "I do, maybe the castle has a music room. I can play the piano, so i could probably help you. If you want."

Venus smiled half-heatedly, still not quiet believing the other girl, "That's cool that you play piano. I tried to learn when I was alive, but, it.... didn't go well." In truth her father's then girlfriend had lost her temper and screamed at Venus about how bad she was and that she was a stupid little brat who couldn't do anything right. Venus hadn't tried to play a piano since. [/color][/blockquote]

Alex looked at Venus sympathetically, and says "What happened? Though if it's too hard, you don't have to tell me."
