Too Long Overdue [Open/Cecelia]

(Sorry for making you guys wait. You know, the ones who wanted to join this thread but couldn't because I have to post first. Anyway, here I go~)

Damian had his left shoulder sprained, his right wing was broken, and he had a black eye. How dare he make Cecelia worry like that! It's as if she wasn't worried about anything else. She was worried about Adam and Kevin for their actions lately. Kevin blamed it on his inner wolf, and Adam had some kind of multiple personality disorder(MPD). It was too much for Cecelia to handle all at once. Not to mention that Adam punched her in the face. What the heck was up with that? Cecelia thought that a walk through the forest might cheer her up, but she was still worried about Damian and the others. Her cheek was a little swollen. It wasn't that bad, but it still hurt like the H word. She looked up a little to see a boy standing in front of the lake. Maybe it would do her some good to talk to someone to get Damian off her mind. Cecelia walked over to the boy and said, "Hi there! I'm Cecelia." she said with a smile on her face. She walked up to his side and followed his gaze to whatever he was admiring so much. "Ha ha~ Do you like to come out here, too? I have to admit that I love this place very much. It's so calm and peaceful... I like to take walks around her to clear my head. By the way, I'm Cecelia. Wait, I already said that, didn't I?" she laughed nervously and said, "Well, you know my name. What's yours?"

Cecelia also enjoyed having some nice company to enjoy the beautiful view with. She was taking a walk through the forest to clear her head, but why not make a new friend while she still had the chance? Alec seemed like he was happy to have a stranger join him on that beautiful day. It was strange that Alec was so open to Cecelia, and he didn't even know who the heck she was. Of course, Cecelia didn't have room to talk about other people like that nor did she ever want to talk about people like that. She walked up to strangers all the time and started talking to them like they knew each other. Alec had this positive glow about him that told Cecelia that she was going to be fine.

Surely, this boy would distract her from her friends that were getting into fights for some unknown reason. Cecelia blushed and tucked a few strands of her strawberry red hair behind her ear. "Ha ha~ It's very nice to meet you, Alec. And, t-thanks..." Her cheek hurt whenever she talked, smiled, or anything like that but that wasn't going to stop her from doing those things. She tilted her head a little bit and blinked at the boy that was feeling the metal of the pocket watch necklace he wore around his neck. "Wow... That's a nice necklace. It's very pretty." She wanted to get a closer look at it, but she didn't want to get up in Alec's personal space. That would be a little awkward, huh?

Cecelia grew worried and looked down at the vibrant, green grass. Alec started talking about how amazing the school was. It gave the half bloods freedom. Cecelia was a different story. But, it bothered her because Alec sounded so happy that he was away from the humans. What would happen if he found out that Cecelia was one of those dreadful creatures that most half bloods didn't have fond memories of? "Y-Yeah... This school is pretty amazing." She could just tell that the question she was asked most by the half bloods would be... What animal are you? That question wasn't far away from being asked by Alec to her. Cecelia hated herself whenever she lied to someone about herself. She just wanted to be herself, but she couldn't do that because then she would get killed. She had to pretend to be a half blood for the rest of the year. That was it. Then, she would have to transfer to a different school after her first and last year at Animalia Academy.

(He he~ I got another account. She's an aquatic animal<3 Her name is Felicity but she likes to go by Fel.)

Cecelia was blushing hard with embarrassment because she was rambling on and on. It made her feel like Alec was getting annoyed by her rambling. It wasn't her fault, though. She had so much energy that she didn't even know what to do with it. She could barely hold still especially when she gets excited about something. It's like she was on one thing and then she jumped to another thing. Hopefully one day she would find someone that would be able to catch up with her when she's practically bouncing off the walls. That would be nice... Cecelia listened carefully to the boy that started to speak. He probably couldn't get a word in with her constant rambling. Her green eyes grew wider with excitement as Alec took off his pocket watch necklace for her to hold it and get a better look at it. She took the necklace from Alec and gazed at it with admiration. "Wow! It's so pretty~ Did your mother make it? Or, did she buy it from someone?" Cecelia took a few minutes to examine the pocket watch necklace before she handed it back to Alec. "You better hold onto that. Someone might accidentally walk away with it~" she said and winked at him playfully. Cecelia was just joking around. She wouldn't take it, but that didn't mean someone else wouldn't take it.

Her smile faded a little bit and turned into a frown. He did notice the bruise on her cheek. Cecelia thought she covered it up pretty good with her make-up but that was a failure. She already lied to Angelica about what happened. Ugh, she got so sick and tired of lying especially with the half blood and human thing. The guilt was eating her alive! She didn't want to be the girl that lied about who she was, but she had to so she could live. She was also keeping her secret for Damian. He didn't want to see her get killed because she had a family that cared about her. But, maybe he has come up with another reason for not wanting her secret to get out. Anyway, back to the bruise on her cheek. Maybe I didn't have to lie to Angelica. I could've told her I got punched by someone and that I don't want to say who it was... That's exactly what she was going to say to Alec. "I got punched by someone but it's fine. It doesn't hurt that bad..."

"H-Hey! I think that's a little bit too much, don't you think? Uh.. Are you always like this around girls?" Alec was making Cecelia's face turned red. The guy was okay at first, and then he started showering Cecelia with compliments about her voice...? It was a little bit too much for her to take in. But, she found it to be kind of cute and charming. She giggled to herself and continued to listen to Alec babbling about her voice. "Pardon me, but I believe you are the cute one here~" Let's see what he thought of her calling him cute. Cecelia nodded in understanding as Alec told her about the story behind his pocket watch necklace. "A family heirloom, huh? That's pretty cool! So, are you hoping to pass it on to someone else someday in the future? I guess it would be... your child?"

It was kind of awkward to already be talking about having kids, but she was just curious what Alec would do with the heirloom. Would he pass it on to his first born child or would he keep it? Cecelia hummed to herself a happy tune like she would always do on a walk through the forest. It was another habit she had. She would just randomly start humming for no reason at all. She blinked at Alec and shook her head, waving her hands in front of her in distress. "No, that's not it at all. Trust me, you're fine, Alec." Cecelia smiled at him softly and hoped that he would believe her. "Everyone is curious... especially me. So, I guess we are both in the same boat, huh?" She touched her cheek again and shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah. I'll be okay! And, it wasn't a girl that hit me.... It was a guy, but I'm sure he didn't mean to. Maybe it was just a in-the-moment kind of thing."

Seriously, was he like that with all girls? Maybe Cecelia was as adorable as Alec said she was. It was just hard for her to adjust to it. No one ever commented on her beauty. Adam probably did it once with the tiny blue flower he put in her red hair. Maybe that was a way of him saying that he thought she was pretty. Or, the blue flower made her look even more beautiful. Guys were so hard to read. Alec was practically an open book like Cecelia. She blushed as Alec pointed at her crimson red cheeks. What did he find so funny? Cecelia was starting to feel embarrassed. She let out a sigh when the subject was changed by Alec. They were on three subjects at the same time... sort of. Cecelia's beauty, Alec's pocket watch necklace, and Cecelia's bruised cheek. Well, they were both very energetic and outgoing. They were both bouncing off the walls so of course it would be normal for them to act the way they were acting. Jumping from one conversation to the other and having all kinds of reactions. "You like to make things? Sure! I think that would be a great idea. I would love it if my father made something out of his love for me, so I think you should make something for your child or children. That's if you plan to have any, though."

Alec was so cute! He seemed to be pretty passionate about making things. Cecelia wished she had something like that to be very passionate about. She wasn't sure exactly what she wanted to do when she got older. Alec was already having a head start on things. "Did you make or plan of making anything today?" She kind of took him literally on that, because if he was really passionate about it, then she was sure he wouldn't say that as an exaggeration. She would think that every day he does think of making something or he does make something. He was a cute little weasel, but Cecelia didn't know what animal he was. "Yep! You have the rest of your life to figure out what you want. One thing I learned was to not over think about things." Oh, so he did call her Cec on purpose. That was a new nickname for her. Her regular nickname was Cece. Alec was the first to call her Cec. "Yeah, I know how to swim! Why do you ask?"
