20 minutes has pasted sense Cara suddenly fell asleep on Storm's shoulder.
He hasn't moved an inch sense then. He felt it would be to rude to push a beautiful sleeping girl off of him.
A girl with dark lavender hair suddenly walked into the pool room."Well, well it seems you've opened up more sense I left for that huge mission a few months ago." She gave him a cocky smile and begun to walk into towards the diving board.
"Arika?" Storm mumbled in shock. "Alive and in the flesh." Arika began to climb up the ladder. "I swear to thought you were dead..." Storm began to giggle. " Nope. Wait, did you wanna get rid of me?!?" Arika sat down on the diving board across from Cara. "Well you are pretty annoying, but no not really. I'm just glad you made it- Wait! What about Skia!?!" Storm asked nervously. "Don't worry we're both alive and safe. Skia is resting my our room." Arika explains reassuringly. "Thank the devil." Storm let's out a sigh.
Arika turns into cat using her shapeshifting ability. "What the hell..." Storm sighs and tilts his head back a little. Arika crawls into Cara's lap in an attempt to spook her when she wakes up.
Cara starts to groan in discomfort as Arika digs into her skin. She quickly perks up, her dark blue her flies all over her face. Storm swipes the pieces of hair to the side of her face. Cara turns her head in shock to find out who's shoulder she accidentally fell asleep on. "AHH!! ...I-I'm sorry...!!! She pulls away from him as she realizes the cat. "AHHH!!! What the hell is a cat doing up here!?!? AND HOW!?!?" She yells in confusion. Storm just laughs and picks up Arika from her lap. "This is Arika, a very annoying little pest." Storm grins at Arika in a playful way.
Arika turns back into a human, her transformation leaves Cara completely shocked. "OOOO!!!! SO YOUR A NIGHTMARE!?!" She screams in somewhat excitement. Arika laughs and nods.
She turns herself into a bunch of different animals to showcase to Cara, then begins explaining her ability. "My ability is basically shapeshifting. I can turn into any kind of animal I want, with a limited color selection... I can only use basic colors, BUT! I can use purple, with I do love! She yells in excitement.
Cara laughs then turns her head to face Storm and instantly starts blushing as she realizes he was waiting for an explanation. "I'M SO SORRY I FELL ASLEEP ON YOUR SHOULDER!!! ...I-I kinda have this weakness were if I'm near a large pool of water for a long period of time I get really, really sleepy..." Cara spouts out in embarrassment.
Storm laughs and tells her his weakness. "When I'm in the sun for to long my body starts to feel like liquid." He sighs. Cara laughs and starts heating her hand up with boiling water. "So if I make my hand burning hot will my hand just slip through you?" She asks with a smirky smile on her cheeky face. "It doesn't work like that, sun has to be involved." He leans his head backs on the diving board railing.
Arika gets a texts from Haven inviting her for coffee. She says her goodbyes and runs off but before leaving she tells them what she had originally come down to the pool to tell them. "Oh yea, as of today both me and Skia and are joining your little squad!" She says with excitement then jogs out
Cara seemed a little shocked at first but it made her happy that she was meeting new people. "I thought you'd be down in the dumps over her news." Storm twirls his hair. "Nope! I'm happy cause it's 2 girls who are joining and not 2 guys" Cara smiles.
Storm frowns. "I've been meaning to talk to you about that..." Cara looks at him questionably. "Why do you hate men so much...?" Storm leans forward, locking eyes with Cara. "...It's because of my so called "Father"..." Cara turns away from him and looks down. "...I thought your parents... died when you were younger..?" Storm asked cautiously. "They did... but after I was found on the streets and adopted, I was taken into a new home with my "sisters" Via and Hina... and then their was him... the new father... He hated that I was a NightMare and hated my mother for bring me inside his house... He would abuse us both and lock us up and I couldn't take it anymore... He locked up my mother in the basement forever... that's why she was safe... In a way I'm grateful to him for doing that... but it doesn't excuse his actions... I feel pain in my chest every time I think about his face...! I wish I could have been the one to kill him! NOT NEO-" Storm cuts her off and quickly grabs her arm then hugs her tightly. "...Stop it... I thought about my mother and other women like that for a long time... I hate to see someone go through the hardships of all that again..."
One single tear runs down Storm's face and onto the scar he gave her during there fight. "...Storm..." Cara pulls her head up to meet his frosty eyes. "
...This may be awkward to ask sense I'm kinda holding you...- but! Umm... Do you wanna be my friend...? ...I'll make sure nothing like that ever happens to you again.
