Stella stood proudly in front of the mirror, gazing at her bony body and still seeing someone she hated. She sighed and pulled on a tight corset, but it didn't matter. She was too small for even the smallest size. She slid her hand through her black curls and pulled on a silky midnight-blue dress and adorned a silver necklace.

Stella strode out of her room with her false confidence and walked into the party she was holding. There were more guests to arrive, but there were so many people already here.

She slid to a corner, watching people dance while others sipped champagne, and others sat tiredly or discussed things. Stella narrowed her emerald eyes. Time stopped. The guests were not moving. She smiled and moved into the crowd, stepping in the middle of the room. She let time begin again...

*Allie blinked and sook her head. Stella, she had to be anorexic. Ugh no one could be that skinny without being such. Alex envied her and hated her for it. How could such a priss be such a hostess. Well no matter what she was, Alex and he weren't friends, well without Stella's knowledge of it.*

"A good hostess does not linger in the shadows" Lacey was behind stella smileing her long straight dark red hair up on her head suported by what looked like two chop sticks her outfit was red, short and looked like a dress from japan the beauty of the dress was lost on her just like the long red gloves from japan. She had just gotten back from her home town Japan although her words were perfect English and her acent was british "and a good hostess welcomes there friend who has just got back"

ooc-whats the year?

ooc~ it's in England during the late 1600s.

Shay~ Is your character's name Allie or Alex?

ic~

Stella let time stop again. Everyone stopped moving, save for her and Lacey. The result was somewhat funny. There was a glass of champagne about to spill, frozen in the air. There were people dancing and seemed to be levitating in midair as time stopped. Stella smiled as she looked at her handiwork. Time was so interesting.

She stood, her midnight blue dress flowing with her movements. She wrapped her arms around her friend with eagerness.

"Lacey!" Stella could hardly contain her excitement. "You made it, my dear. I have missed you so much. How was Japan? Beautiful dress..."

Stella let time begin again, and the guests began moving, the glass of champagne spilled. Stella laughed a little.

"Japan was wonderful, i got a new orb and a powerful one at that...got to kill one of the most powerful human there...got a new sword...i was cursed...learned some new stuff and got a new book that is now yours...all in all very good for my magic but not very good for anything else" a book apeared in her hands with the word Time written in latin "you read latin right?" her eyes got drawn to a glass it was beautiful "you still got style i see" she looked around the room "how have you been?, anything new with you?"

"A new orb?" Stella's eyes took on an amount of surprise. "Is it a safe one? Cursed? How were you cursed?"

Stella looked down at the book and laughed. "I read all languages, and I love Latin." She hugged the book to her chest. "Thank you." Time was by far Stella's favorite element to control. Stella was skilled at magic, but the forces of Time fascinated her.

There was a lot of food set out, many different drinks, from all around the world. But Stella wouldn't touch any of it. She hated her figure, and didn't care how long it would take to make herself as thin as she wanted to be.

Lacey looked at her friend and frowned "its in my hands of course its safe and ive handeled a lot more dangerous things" she rolled her eyes at Stella knowing what she was thinking about food but Lacey didnt say anything it wasnt her place to and it wouldnt change Stella`s mind "oh right the curse...well my visions are more powerful and they come all the time, i just have to touch something now" she pointed to the gloves "and the visions hurt....and i actualy feel sorry for the people who are suffering in my visions, which is weard cause i never feel sorry for anything....the woman said something about knowing what it feels like" she took a drink of a table and sipped it chuckleing "those gypsie`s are crazy" she finished the drink and put it down "you didnt answer my question, how have you been?"

"I'm fine," Stella snapped. "Lacey, I'm fine. I told you... Gypsies are quite kind, but if you cross them, they will have their revenge. Did you steal this orb from that gypsy? Lacey... I don't understand this. Why would you do that?" Stella turned slightly, watching the guests with a wary eye and looked back at Lacey. "In your visions... You feel what the person is feeling. That's what's happening now, I think..."

OOC~ I'm way too lazy to read all that, BI BI MUAHS Shay :imu:

"why would i steal an orb?" she frowned and looked around "i got the orb from a healer...nice fello...i did not steal from the gypsies...i just killed there child and granted that is a good reason to curse me" she seemed not to care "pluss ive got rid of curses before and you know that, why are you so worrid about this?"

"Lacey!" Stella was suddenly dizzy. She sat down, putting a hand to her head. "You k-killed a ch-child?" Stella shook her head. "Visions. Empowered with visions and yet the murderess of a child." Stella stood back up, swaying with dizziness. "Why...?"

"the child was not some innocent 4 year old it was about 14" she sat Stella down "and would you keep your voice down ive already been acused of being a witch before and trust me being hanged is not a good feeling" she touched her neck and sat down "i killed the child because i had a vision that the child would do great good when it was older...and i was drawn there in hopes to find my family and understand what i am" she frowned "i didnt find out anything so i was angry and i took it out on the childs mother...yes i am not proud of that but its what i did" her eyes filled with sadness she had never said that she was not proud of anything and she was feeling something else...maybe guilt "thats who i am...i do horrable things and you know that"

"Yes," Stella nodded, tiredly. "I know. Visions can be painful... I hate them." Stella was more talented with controlling time than being a Seer. She sometimes had dreams or when she touched someone, she would sense how they were feeling or something, but it was painful to her, and confused. She was nowhere near as talented as Lacey. "I have no idea how you deal with all those visions... I know you kill, but I would hope you wouldn't kill anyone younger than that..." Stella didn't really want to know.

The look on Laceys face said that she had killed many children "yes how do i deal?...well ive had them since i can remember and that was a long time ago, one could say they get better the older you get but i doubt that is true....i have been studying seeing and all the differant types and ive seen and felt worse pain than the visions so ive learned to control there pain and use it to make the visons clearer..i could teach you if you wish it but you may end up understanding things that you wish you never seen"

Stella started to say something, but then someone crashed through the window. A tall dark figure wearing a cloak. He began ripping out people's throats.

Stella blinked. No- he had a blade, that was how he was killing them. Stella looked back at Lacey.

"Things like this? Let's go." Stella closed her eyes... letting time stop again... When she opened her eyes, the man was still moving...

ooc- is that a vision or is it happening?

Ic- Lacey seemed amused by the man but she saw how stella was acting so she stoped smileing and walked to her, she grabed Stella by the arm and shimmered outside she knew stella would complain because shimmering was evil and it gave who ever was shimmering a rush of power and if that person shimmered someone else they would feel that rush too. She half expected to be hit by stella.

ooc~ really happening

ic~

"I'm saving those people whether you like it or not," Stella made to slap Lacey, but swayed, dizzy suddenly. She should eat something... "Don't do that shimmering thing again, it's wrong, Lacey... I know, I know. You aren't me... But that man or demon or whatever will kill people. Time has stopped, he won't even give them a chance."

"fine but every power i have is evil so unless you let me use them, i cant help" she walked back into the house and watched the man kill.
