I am So Alive -Lupintastic-

[Ileana Lupin]

Ileana was quiet she really didn't care she watched her sibling she really was weird in her own way. But she only had a few more days with her and then she could ditch the family and go on her own way. She ran a hand through her hair and grabbed a magazine as her sibling was being sized. She flipped through the pages she actually stopped to read some of the stories to see what was going on in things that mattered. But surprisingly it was always political arguments that she stopped to read. If she could get herself in check she had hope that maybe one day taking over her father's position and going into the politics and what not. But she loved to be bad and she couldn't stop. She was really getting into her article though she didn't agree with it she loved to read about it. She smiled a little bit as she continued to read. But she stopped when the woman seemed to be done with the robes.

Ileana walked over to the counter and paid for both sets of robes and they had some coins left over. She rolled her eyes as her sibling pointed out that Ileana never cared if they were late. She shrugged her shoulders with a smirk placed on her lips. " Well what can I say I think I've caused the warden enough emotional stress for right now.

[/b]" She smiled a little more almost slightly proud of it. She sighed as she walked around carrying everything it wasn't that hard but it did annoy her to have to lug it everywhere. She bit the inside of her lip lightly and looked over her shoulder seeing the photographers. It always made her feel a little more self conscious about it. She looked down and then smiled when she heard the music. She knew that music anywhere. She pulled out a cold coin from what she had left. She handed the rest to her sister. " Audi come on![/b]" She was actually happy.

She was smiling and grabbed her sisters arm lightly and excitedly pulling her but it was at a slower pace so her sister wouldn't whine. She closed her eyes as she went through the crowds and such and when she came out she saw her two friends with green and blue hair and body piercings everywhere. She closed her eyes a moment and then put a coin into the guitar case. When they looked up they all stopped and all smiled jumping all over her. Screaming at the top of their lungs that it was ILE and she smiled and couldn't help but feel happy again. Her best friends. It was their last year and she was going to miss them so much. They all cleared out a path and started begging her to help them play. She smiled when they put the electric magic amp and guitar next to her. They started announcing her saying she was going to be the next great song writer. She shook her head calling out to her friend." Hey hey. Sibling is here and my mother is like over there so I'm not singing it you will have too. I can't do it not in front of them.[/b]" They both pouted but agreed and Ileana looked over at her sister. She walked over to her and said," It will just be one song then we will leave. I just yeah you can leave if you want.[/b]"

They started playing and Ileana seemed frozen for a moment but then closed her eyes took a quick breath and after they started singing her song they stopped she stepped forward and she started playing insanely fast on her solo but still it was very pretty and rhythm was very old school with a twist of new stuff. Everyone was starting to get into. She saw people coming out from where her mother was. The song was about the pain of her transformation and how no one understood her predicament. She started playing the lead guitar part and really getting into it. She looked around as almost everyone in the street had stopped. She knew it was because she was a Lupin but a lot of them seemed to be bumping their heads some were actually dancing. She smiled as the song was going well and she started getting more into it and she took another solo and some started to cheer a little bit. Before she knew it she smiled and the song ended and she stopped playing she turned to her friends beaming and handed them the guitar and then everyone started taking pictures. She looked at her sibling and then her friends and she took her sister saying. " Lets get out of here before mum figures out I was bringing attention to us.[/b]" She turned and said " I'll meet up with you guys later I promise.[/b]" They nodded and called back to her that the piercing shop closed at nine. She just rolled her eyes asking her younger sister. " Which way to get out?[/b]" [/blockquote]

Audrina followed her sister out of the robe shoppe and looked around, just walking beside her sister the best she could. She frowned when her sister stopped, getting out a coin and hurrying off, even calling her Audi. She blinked in confusion but hurried after Ileana through the crowd. She didn't know who the people were, well she did but only that they were musicians and her mother thought they had way too many piercings. She was as surprised as anyone when she realized her sister was friends with them. Her eyes widened as they talked and she slowly began to realize that Ileana was going to play here in the street. She was going to take the guitar and play some song she had written, here in public, with everyone around and watching them. Audrina seemed to kind of shrink in on herself when people started coming over to see what was up. She hugged her stuff to her chest and bit her lip.

Ileana was good, but Audrina had already known that. Apparently she was one of the few judging by the reactions of the people around her. Audrina was having a small anxiety attack. She didn't like big crowds and it only got worse when it had something to do with her family. She took slow deep breaths doing everything in her power to keep from turning and running off for the restaurant away from all this but no, she had to stay, people were watching and her sister and... She made a small squeaking noise when someone touched her elbow and she drew herself in even closer. She looked at Ileana, well at least one of them was having a good time. When the song was over Audrina started to push her way out of the crowd, leaning against the wall of one of the shops while she waited for Ileana, just taking long, slow breaths, hoping to calm down before her sister came over, or before they went into the restaurant at least.

She nodded when Ileana said they should go. "She'll find out tomorrow though." She pointed out. She'd seen a couple of the photographers hanging around taking pictures and notes and whatnot. So it was going to be all over by tomorrow at the latest. Of course she didn't think her mum would care about the music as much as she would the people Ileana had apparently been associating with. But that was how Colby worked. She pointed to the restaurant and started over. It was a very... Colby kind of place. It wasn't overly fancy, you could go in without formal wear, but it was a nice, sit down and 'what kind of wine would you like' kind of place. She noted the host giving them dirty looks, okay so they didn't look like they really belonged there, but whatever. She saw her mother and oldest sister sitting together at a table and started over.

She was quiet and really didn't say anything she hid her face a little bit and then walked along with her sister. " I guess she will but until then she will be fine in knowing that there was a street gathering. We went to go see but it was wrong so don't worry about it too much. Please don't say anything. Couple of days we will both just go in our separate ways and we wont have to deal with anything that has to do with the other.

[/b]" She sighed and was quiet as they walked she just rolled her eyes seeing the rester aunt that her mother and older sister where at. So in other words the second that everything was going pretty good it was all going to hell as soon as they walked into the stupid place. She knew that people who dressed formally and were expecting them all to look nice. So when they walked and all eyes were already on them.

She rolled her eyes irritated and wanted to go up and make a scene. But she didn't she bit her lip and her sunglasses were still on she wouldn't be taking those off until she was farther away from her mother. Her sister as well because the two of them together when ever she did something wrong they were both on her case. She went along and finally found her mother and sister she sat down closer to the window away from her mother and her sister. She closed her eyes under the black lenses silently bracing herself for what ever was going to happen. She looked at her older sister and gave her a smile and realized her hair was up. She quickly reached up and let her dark hair with hot pink mixed in fall down around her neck and over her shoulders lightly. She let the hair tie go over her wrist and just stay there.

Ileana just sat quiet she wanted to go hang out with her friends if she could put on the nice little girl act that didn't mind anything her mother said or did she would be able to do what ever she wanted for the rest of the day. She played baby sitter to her little sister she figured that her mother would let her go off the leash for a little while. She just had to convince her to allow it. She bit her lip lightly looking down at the menu working very hard not to fidget or ask her mother if she could just skip lunch. Though in her mind all she was thinking about was " Just have to suffer a little while longer it should all work out. Play it her way for a little longer and then her mother would maybe let her go." She knew that it wasn't all that easy to beat her mother at her own game but she knew that there were ways when she could out smart her she just had to work things right. She waited and wondered who was going to speak first.[/blockquote]

Audrina was about to agree when Ileana said it, how they would go their seperate ways and not have to deal with each other. Of course Ileana probably had no idea that Audrina didn't like that but she wasn't going to push the issue she just nodded in agreement and took a deep breath, as if she could just suck in a good amount of energy from the world around her. But if that were possible then this would be the place to do it, there were people all around, a mother with her young children were laughing and running down the street, there were a group of teenage friends talking and laughing just across the street from them. Audrina needed that kind of happy energy because that was what her mother had come to expect from her and if she walked in there acting like she currently felt then Colby would know something was up and Colby was never one to let up when she thought something was wrong with her kids.

It was a very boring lunch, Mum laid into them for being late, she was so worried and blah blah blah. Then she got over it and went back and forth between fussing over Natalia and her soon to be baby and then she'd worry about Ileana and school and whatever then she'd talk about Audrina and how she really wished she could go just one year without an owl about how Audrina had, once again, violated the dress code with her crazy socks and other various accesories. That made Audrina smile, she lived for those letters, there was just some sort of sick satisfaction in knowing there was a boundary for her and apparently four or five months of rainbow knee socks was it. She smirked and looked down when Colby requested she look at least a little sorry for breaking rules. Albeit the rule she broke were a lot less severe than the ones Ileana broke, and then they were back on Ileana until that inevitably would lead back to Natalia and then a peppering of Elijah, Rosie, Logan, James, really there was on one safe from the mind maze

Finally they finished their meals and Natalia had to run, she had stuff to get done, shopping to do and the like. She hugged her sisters and her mother and walked off. "Mum do we have to go home right away or can we just kind of... shop?" Audrina asked knowing Ileana wanted to and figured Colby was more likely to say yes if Audrina asked, just because Audrina was a lot less likely to get into trouble if set loose in the streets of Diagon. After a moment of thought Colby agreed as long as they were back home before six. Colby took their books and stuff and apperated home with it all leaving her daughters behind. Audrina looked at Ileana expected her to bolt out and leave Audrina alone to find something to do for the next few hours. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her bring shorts and looked up at her questioningly.

Ileana was quiet she really had nothing to say during the whole lunch with the women in her family. She really wanted to be out hanging with her friends playing music. She was quiet for a little longer then she really ever was before. She figured if she could just get through the lunch they would go back home and she would hid out in her room and not have to deal with her little sister her mother or her father and she could just slip away. Into her own world where no one had control over her or her thoughts. She just couldn't take it sometimes being the daughter of the Minister of Magic, Being a werewolf, Running away from everything and everyone all the time. She ate quietly as her mother and sisters fussed about in their everyday lives she really didn't care what was going on and in a lot of cases her mind wasn't even in the restaurant. Her eyes were out in the streets and her mind was on it's own adventure. Only coming back every other time her mother brought her into the conversation. Where she really only said what she needed to, to make it seem like she cared when everyone knew she didn't.

Ileana started thinking about her future and realized if she ever became a professional music an her parents would have their disapproving looks on every time. But then she realized that if she followed her family's tradition she would either be a teacher like Elijah and deal with ungrateful little brats all day that would just make her want to pull all her hair out. But then she could go work for the newspaper and still deal with people who would drive her nuts. But if she took after father everyone would be so proud but so astonished that it was almost easier to just stop that dream all together before her mother and family looked down on her saying that there was no way that she was going to be able to do it not to mention she is a werewolf bad things would just come out of it. So that dream left her mind she came to the conclusion that anything she wanted to do was either dangerous, stupid, or her parents would really disown her after that. But then she came to the conclusion that she would go and work with dragons. She decided that she would go talk to someone at school about and see where she would fit in.

Finally the lunch was over and she smiled and hugged her sister saying goodbye it was weird to think that her older sister was having a baby. Ileana came to the conclusion that she was never going to have a kid. She didn't want to deal with someone like her and not to mention the chance that it could be a werewolf. She just wasn't going to do it she would rather die then go through with it. They walked and then Audrina asked their mother if they could stay and shop around for a while then her mother said yes gave them both money and Ileana was still stunned that her sister was the one who asked it. But then she decided to do something nice after their mother left. She looked at her sister and asked. " You wanna go to the biggest bookstore ever?

[/b][/color]" She crossed her arms over her chest and waited to see what her sibling had to say. [/blockquote]
