Eyes On Fire (Open to the swimming team)

[Erika Conner (Bellefonte)]

Closing her locker as she stepped towards the showers, Erika braided her hair to keep it from falling into her eyes. She didn't pay the other students much mind as she walked into the showers, turning on the warm water and letting it fall over her face. She blocked out the talking from the other out with a solemn sigh. She was here to work out - not chit chatter. 

Hey, at least the brunette could give herself credit for keeping her focus even around her friends - that was probably one of her few good traits. She rarely let anything pull her distraction away.

Turning the handle and stepping out, Erika wiped her face with a towel before grabbing her goggles and swimming cap and headed towards the door leading out into the pool, giving her teammates a quick smile as she passed them, ''See you out there, girls,'' she said and opened the door.

Once inside, Erika went over to the edge of the water and sat down, letting her olive skinned feet sink into the cool liquid. She closed her eyes and sighed, stretching her arms into the air before turning her attention to the lockers. More people starting coming out and practice was about to start.

Good. She could surely need some distractions and what better distractions were there than busting your ass off to the point of exhaustion? Exactly.

[Sebastian Silver]

Sebastian walks into the pool area, looking very unsure about his choice to join the swim team. He has never been on any kind of team in his life. Though he loved to swim and has snuck in to many high class swimming pools to go for a late night dip, as well as out in the middle of the ocean far away from the shores of any country. But really what was he thinking.

He had just made a quick trip to pick up a swim suite, though with no money he got it like he gets all his stuff. A quick trip to the changing room then a quick port away, the stores never know and who cares the store was half way around the world anyways. Still wearing nothing but the swim suite put him on edge after what happened at the mask dance, he was shocked his powers hadn't forced him away yet from his shear embarrassment, but then again as he has come to realize his powers have a sick sense of humor.

Still the water looked inviting and if he was going be here for a while might as well have free access to the pool. As he started to walk to the pool his mind drifted a little as he thought about the high dive board, the next thing he knew he was 30 ft above the pool standing on the high dive board, Slipping off he started falling fast, he tried to make it into a dive but only half did it right, he hit the water hard the pain in his chest and stomach sever.

He sunk to the bottom of the pool all the breath knock out of him and still a little out of it from the impact wasn't sure what was up or down.
