Seth's mouth fell open, almost touching the ground. He fell out of his sitting position, tumbling onto the grass. He straightened up. "Abel..?" He asked, as if Abel may be an imposer. He regained his composer a bit. "What the- I thought you died? What are you..?" He couldn't quite finish his sentences as his words died. He sighed, closing his eyes. Use your words Seth, his conscience chided. Seth opened his eyes, focusing on Abel. "How are you here? You're supposed to be dead." He was studying Abel's features, to make sure it was him.

"Hmmm?" Brooke looked up, finding spiky brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. The guy's appearance sort of caught her off guard, so she found herself staring at him for a while. She was slightly upset and disappointed that Seth and her were interrupted but it didn't really pester her that much. She hopped up, smoothed out her uniform, and extended out her right hand. "Hi! I'm Brooke." she said enthusiastically.

"Good afternoon to you too," Abel smirked, before his face grew serious again. "I know you must be shocked to see me..as much as I am still shocked to be standing in front of you, though I am thankful to be alive. The thing is, I did die. You left when they told you. However, there was one doctor who was certain he could save me. He convinced the others to do a resuscitation, and was able to get my heart beating again. I spent the night at the hospital," he explained.
When Brooke spoke up, Abel turned to her, and smiled serenely. "Hello Brooke. I'm Abel." |

Seth's mouth was still hanging open. He was at a lost for words. He closed his mouth, thinking about the information that Abel had just told him. He turned to face Brooke. "I think it would be awesome to be friends," he said, somehow managing to pull a smile on his face. It didn't look 100% real, but it was still a smile.
He turned to look at Abel, thinking of something he wanted to say. "So, how did you find Castle then?" The question had been nagging him, since only the Havens students that had lived had known that they were going to Castle.

Brooke nodded at Seth's reply slowly, though inside, she was as happy as a panda in a bamboo forest. She analyzed Seth's expression. His mouth was opened, obviously shocked at the new guy's presence, Abel. She then turned to Abel and analyzed him. Upon setting her eyes on him, a peaceful tune played, one that calmed her. It was also a questionable melody...something Brooke was not familiar to. He was actually quite handsome, in a cool way. Brooke decided that his aura was amirable, and mysterious. She decided to sit in the grass and observe until one of the guys shooed her away. Her wanton and tempestuous curiousity began to feed on her mind once more.

"I asked around," Abel said. "By that morning everyone had already been moved to Castle. After I asked for directions, I flew all the way here, stopping now and again for a bite to eat." His gaze flickered down to Brooke, who had resolved to sit in the grass. He bent down slightly, offering her a hand up. "Oh, you don't have to sit in the grass. I won't be long here." By the way their expressions looked when he first arrived, Abel knew he had been interrupting. He just couldn't wait to see Seth. |

"Oh.." Seth said. He wanted to question Abel further, but felt like he was leaving Brooke out of the conversation. "So Brooke... Where are you from?" He asked lamely, for a lack of a better thing to say.

"Oh no please stay Abel" she pleaded, taking his extended hand."You see, I'm new here and I'd love to get to know more people, and hopefully befriend some also"she offered Abel a gentle smile, "Please stay, couldn't we all talk together?" She spoke her true feelings. She did not know anyone else at this school...this was a whole new world for her and she yearned to learn more, to feed her chaotic curiosity. "Well Seth, I was born on a small port just off of the shore of England you see. It's called Sealand."

Abel laughed softly as he helped Brooke to her feet. "Alright, I'll stay. Any friend of Seth's is a friend of mine." He listened quietly when Brooke was explaining where she was from. "Oh, so you came from across the pond," Abel noted casually, trying to brighten the mood with his witticism. |

"Sealand..?" Seth said, "I haven't heard of it.. Although it sounds like an interesting place." He thought that Brooke had been from Britain because of her British accent.

Brooke grinned, "Across the pond indeed...it's quite far from here. Sealand is a tiny port, but it actually has it's own prince. Most people do not even know of it's presence...it's size is so insignificant, I could walk from one side to another in probably and hour actually. It's just a steel platform on 4 concrete columns." she chuckled. Sealand was quite an odd location to live. There wasn't much to talk about Sealand also. She swiftly decided to change the subject. Babbling is one of Brooke's many foibles, "So, do you guys play any instruments?" she questioned

"I wish," Abel replied wistfully. "But before leaving the lab we had pretty sheltered lives." As he reflected on this, it only brought back memories of that place. All they had been wanted for was testing and science. |
