Closed Starter: Need Something? (Lyssa/Altair)

Lyssa leaned back against the stone bench. Pretending to be reading so she could survey the school had become almost a hobby. She could have found a way to enjoy it. But she couldn't get distracted. Not now. Not when Charissa's safety could be hanging in the balance.

She looked up, spotting a boy headed towards her. "Need something?"

Charissa looked at the newbie, her eyes widening. "Lyssa? By the Pixie Dust Tree, I had no idea you were coming!", she exclaims, before dragging her to a room, slaming the door besides her. If she wanted to have an honest reunion, she couldn't do it in public. Not with Tayen around.-@golden-faerie

Lyssa's guard went up when she heard someone call her name. She didn't recognize the voice immediately, and she didn't know anyone yet that didn't already hate her. She certainly didn't expect to be thrown into a room. But upon turning to face - and possibly even fight - the person, Lyssa's eyes went wide. "Your Majesty!" She dropped to one knee, her head bowed. "You weren't supposed to be here, Charissa."

Hey! Wow first day and uh..I've seen you get into two fights. Or rather the shadows have, hi I'm Alexis Natas! It's nice to meet you, lets be friends.

Lyssa narrowed her eyes a little. She didn't like that this person already knew about-

Shadows? No. Nope. No. Not trusting that.

"No thanks. I don't have friends."

Dear Lyssa, I don't know if you're telling the truth or not. I don't even know if I trust you, but I've left..I can't stay in a place with you and Tayen. So this is goodbye. If anything happens to her majesty, it doesn't matter where I m, it won't matter where you go or where you hide. I will find you, and I will destroy you, and make sure you suffer for everything you've done. - Rosalina

Lyssa rolled her eyes, balling up the note and throwing it into the garbage can across the room. Whatever. She didn't care nor believe Rosalina's threats; she didn't need to, anyway. She'd keep Charissa safe. No matter what.

Lyssa backed against a wall, hands over her ears. She felt her instincts kick into overdrive. Secure an exit strategy, eliminate all threats, report-

No, stop. She needed to stop. She slowly removed her hands from her ears, dropping them to her sides. She cleared her throat.

"I-" Lyssa choked out. "I didn't- I didn't know. I didn't know she was here." I didn't know she was alive. I didn't know she escaped. "I'm sorry."

And then she turned and ran for the exit.

"Ah, shit." - @astxrmiscxming

Victoria’s head whips around at the voice and she gasps in shock, paling worse than normal. “No… no, you can’t– you can’t be here. No, the theater is mine, this is my space, this is the only safety I have– get out of here. Get out! Get out– get out, get out, get out–”

Tears roll down her face as she takes a shaky breath. The building itself seems to rattle with the force of her voice on the next word.

“GET–”

“Tori, no! Hold!” Liam calls from the stage as he rushes out from the wings… putting his daughter on hold, his eyes wide, shocked at what he just stopped. Victoria, however, completely freezes because of him, though internally she’s confused and scared.

Liam rushes around and down off the stage, going to join his daughter and placing a hand on her should, before looking at Lyssa. “There’s a lot of things my daughter is, but I won’t let her hurt anyone, not like this. I think she made her point. And she is right about one thing. Whatever you did to her– whatever’s happened, I don’t care. The theater is hers. Not just as the director of the musical, but as a performance talent. Go wherever else, scout, but just stay out of here, and out of her life. Hasn’t she been through enough?”

He holds onto Victoria.

Lyssa hummed. The Isle. He seemed too nice for the general profile of a VK. She didn't like the ones that didn't fit in a profile. It made her uncomfortable. Nervous.

"Neverland." Not specific. True, but not a perfect truth. "What do you think of Auradon?"

Lyssa eyed him. She didn't trust him. Not yet. Probably not ever. Trust was earned. And anyone here could be working for the false queen. "Lyssa." She closed her book, setting it in her lap. "Where exactly are you from, Altair?"

Lyssa immediately tensed. "No. No way." She grabbed her things and started walking away - fast. She was not going to trust the daughter of the Devil. She had her own demons to deal with.

"Which is exactly why," Lyssa said, "I don't trust you. Scram, kid."

Lyssa stood. She hugged the princess, holding her tight. She'd missed her. More than Charissa ever could have imagined. She pulled away, clearing her throat.

"The... the fairies are better without Tayen around. It's still Hell back home, and most are still afraid to speak their minds in case a shadow is listening, but since she's been gone there have been more who are willing to stand and fight."

Lyssa put her hand on Clarissa's shoulder. "Your mother misses you. She's why I'm here. She wanted me to find you and make sure you were safe."

Charissa looked at the newbie, her eyes widening. "Lyssa? By the Pixie Dust Tree, I had no idea you were coming!", she exclaims, before dragging her to a room, slaming the door besides her. If she wanted to have an honest reunion, she couldn't do it in public. Not with Tayen around.-@golden-faerie
