Nyxeris had drowned himself in his game. He wasn't paying attention to how loud he was getting, Sabrina or anything else in his surrounding area. He was locked into his game almost completely and he was growing his winning streak by the minute. He looked up from his game while there was a loading screen, waiting for the next round to begin. He took a second but eventually his eyes landed on Sabrina by the stairs. "Oh- sorry." Nyx grinned. The loading screen vanished and the next round started. "This is so fun!" Nyx turned his attention to the game again with a giant goofy smile on his face. Sabrina left him to do his own thing and he was perfectly happy with that. He won a few more rounds but soon enough he was beginning to feel the fatigue from both not sleeping when he got here and having just come out of a very ferocious battle. He ended up setting the laptop on the ground just seconds before he ended up falling asleep. He was on her couch which was really just becoming his bed these days. It was only the afternoon, just the beginning hours of it and if Sabrina came downstairs the only thing she'd find is Nyxeris asleep. At least it was quiet now, for her sake. His wings slowly came back while he slept, regaining energy seemed to speed up the effects just a little. Unfortunately the only thing to come back were his wings this time.

Sabrina had been a woman of seclusion most of her life, so she loved her peace and quiet. Now that it was interrupted, it was quite tiresome. She was not use to having someone there with her, and although the conversation was nice, part of her still wanted her alone time. When the shouting finally calmed, it was a warm feeling, a feeling of relief. And with that relief brought on the exhaust she had felt. Sabrina loved her mid day naps, and her body was ready. It was not long before she had drifted into her sleep once more, curling up against the fluffy pillows that lined her bed. Finally her vivid dreams arrived as always, pulling her from the world she was in. It always felt so real, all her senses alive when she left. Soon she was in a foggy meadow, the dew wet on the ground below. She wore a long silky dress of white, her hair braided with baby's breath. In the distance stood a man in the shadows. He was tall, his body just darkness. She couldn't see who it was but it was a familiar feeling, like she knew them. It beckoned her towards itself, silently calling out. As Sabrina made her way towards it, she was stopped by an excruciating pain through her abdomen as if being stabbed. The pain so real she quickly woke from her slumber, shooting up as she caught her breath. She was fine, it was just a dream. Her mind was now awake, there was no rest. Sabrina stood, making her way down stairs to check on anyone. She paused in shock as she saw his wings now on his back. She didn't mean to stare, but she couldn't help but admire such an interesting thing. They were stunning compared to how they were described in the books. She shook her head, reaching forward and covering him carefully with a blanket while he slept, careful to not wake him.

Nyx slept peacefully, from the outside. His dreams consisted of him walking through a dense forest for a long time. He felt like he had to keep going, towards this mysterious goal that drove him forward. He felt exhausted, it felt like he was only walking through a loop. That was until he found his way to a meadow. He recognized it as a Seelie Court meadow but he couldn't remember exactly where this place was located. A mysterious woman appeared right in front of him but further into the meadow than he was at the edge. This woman looked like Annalise, and felt like the enemy. He watched as somebody else materialized in front of her. Nyxeris felt a strange connection to this one, like she was a friend or someone he needed to protect. Nyxeris rushed forward towards this strange woman who seemed to be going to him as well. He watched as the first woman drew a sword and before Nyx could do anything, thurst it through the second womans abdomen. Nyxeris cried out in a mix of anger and pain, a strong mix of emotion that could almost tear you apart. The dream faded away just as he got to them, and the first woman's face seemed to be smiling. Nyxeris woke up laughing, and quickly silencing himself in case Sabrina woke up. There was no light coming in from the windows which immediately told him that it was nighttime. He didn't remember that nightmare he just woke up from, only the powerful emotions he had experienced there. The blanket fell off of him and onto the floor. "Oh.. When did that get there?" Nyx murmured, getting off the couch and putting it swiftly back where he was just laying. Sabrina must have put it over him while he was sleeping. That was nice of her.. He stretched and as he did such his wings fluttered. Nyx almost tried to turn in a full circle to see if they were really on his back but that would've been dumb. He just went to check in the mirror. "They're back!" Nyx grinned, excited for all the possibilities he could do with his wings now. He'd have to hide them if he went outside but .. not all the time.. He didn't have to hide them all the time.. Sabrina said he had to stay at home all day but that didn't mean he would listen to her. When did he ever? He looked through the fridge and found a few berries of which he just grabbed and popped into his mouth. At this point Sabrina was waking up and Nyx didn't want to bother her while she had to prepare and leave... so he went back to the couch, poisitioned himself and pretended like he was sleeping with the blanket over him and his wings. If everything went right, she wouldn't know he was pretending. If needed, he could even use a bit of illusionary magic here and there.

Sabrina let Nyx rest for the night, knowing he didn't sleep the night before, plus it gave her silence. The rest of the night she busied herself with finishing her assignments, reading and just relaxing in quiet before she went to bed. Normal dreams that night, though hints of her mid day one stayed in her mind. The morning came quick and Sabrina woke to her alarm. She went to the bathroom, locking the door behind her as she took a shower, freshening up for the day. She curled her hair slightly, applied just a light amount of makeup before heading to her room, changing into a comfy outfit of some joggers and a band tshirt. She wasn't one to take a lot of time in the morning for herself, so it was not long before she was packed up and headed downstairs. She saw that Nyx was still asleep, so as she grabbed a quick bite for breakfast, she made sure to leave a note, letting him know when she would be home and how to use the house phone with her number if there was an emergency. Soon she was off and out the door, quiet as a mouse as she closed the door behind her and began her walk. Making her way down the streets, the sunrise greeted her warmly. She loved morning walks, well any walks in general. Luckily campus was not far away and she soon made it to her first class, English. She took a seat towards the back of the raised room, setting out her iPad and book for the day, waiting for the class to begin. She wondered what any would get into today, knowing he already wouldn't listen. But she felt slightly better knowing he could at least shift, hopefully he would be smart enough to. The class droned on as Sabrina watched the clock hands turn slowly, todays lecture one of the worst. She still pushed on to take notes, doodling on the side to keep her brain awake. During the time the teacher was passing out the weeks study guides, a fellow classmate moved seats near Sabrina. He introduced himself as Max, complementing her on artwork he has saw she done at the schools art show. She thanked him politely, a sweet smile on her lips as he explained the art style he liked to do. Sabrina was a kind girl, always willing to chat with someone even if she may have not wanted to. She kept up the conversation quietly, giving him some tips he asked for and just casual chat.

Nyx continued to pretend like he was sleeping until he heard the door shut and her footsteps trail away. He already ate earlier, so when he got up from the couch to follow her, he didn't stop for anything on the way there. He followed the same path she went down, crossing the streets the crossed. He stayed back a few feet so she wouldn't immediately spot him should she turn or look back. He had shifted so his wings no longer appeared, his eyes were blue again and so on. He didn't enter the building after her, however. He left and circled around the area for a while, enough for her first class to pass. Nobody noticed him which was good for the moment. Finally the time passed and the first class was finished. He entered the building and walked slow compared to his usual speed, trying to find where her classroom might be. He passed by a little outside area kept for battle? What else would that place be there for if not for sparring? Nyxeris walked past her classroom and stood at the end of the hall waiting for the people to leave their classrooms and head to the next, like Sabrina had told them they did when he questioned it. Tick, tick, tick.. the clocks were starting to annoy him. Nyx spotted Sabrina when a swarm, he was exaggerating, stormed out of the classroom. He walked by her, making sure he was seen. He wasn't sure if she would recognize him right away so he turned and gave her a short smile on the way past, with a small detail.. his eyes were black when he did that. It as the first tell, as if he'd show his wings. He switched them back the second he was past her. He made his way to the little outside area and sad himself down at a table. He had stolen a textbook from a random stranger and was pretending to read it.

Sabrina continued the remiander of the class, Max still keeping his seat near here, the two talking on and off. It was not long before class was over, though it felt like eternities later. Sabrina said her goodbyes politely to Max before gathering her items and heading out. The halls were busy as normal, Sabrina carefully weaving through the bunch. She didn't really focus on anyone, just her path. That was until a tall figure passed by, a familiar one. Sabrina stopped in her tracks and quickly turned to see him, her eyes meeting with those dark pupils once more. Her brows furrowed, and before she had time to react, he was off, headed outside to the courtyard. "This man knows how to pick my nerves" She mumbled to herself as she made her way after him. "Nyx!" She said as she pushed through the doors outside, "What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, walking over as she held her books in her hands. "Where did you get this?" She added, snatching the book from his hands to look. "Economics? Perfect, just what you need to read" She said, dropping it back down on the table. "Nyx, why cant you just listen" She said, rubbing her face. She looked to her phone, she had a few minutes to spare. She was about to say something else when another familiar voice appeared, Max. He made his way over, standing besides Sabrina. He had saw the 'distressed' look on Sabrina, unaware of the actual situation. "Everything okay Sabrina?" He asked, furrowing his brows as he looked to Nyx, "Who is this guy anyway? Is he bothering you?" "Max, its okay, he a fri..." Sabrina started to say when she was cut off. "Clearly she does not want to talk to you" Max said, trying to act as a hero for the girl he may have had a crush on.

"I was just taking a lovely little walk when I stumbled across this quaint building." Nyx lied smoothly, and Sabrina would know it was a lie but it was still fun to say. "Economics? That's what I was supposed to be reading?" Nyxeris didn't intend to read the book, only pretending to and hadn't even checked the cover. "It's so boring to listen. I'd be at home all day staring at the wall. Or painting the walls with paint." Nyxeris turned his attention to the stranger, Max, who walked up to them. Nyx immediately didn't like the guy but decided he wasn't going to outwardly show it. He'd play nice, sort of. "If you'd let her finish her sentence, you'd know that we're very good friends." Nyx sighed. Boy, this guy annoyed him. At least fae in his book had some class when trying to win over a girl, fight a battle for them. "Now, sit down." Nyx smiled, inviting the both of them. "We've got a lot to talk about. And even he can stay if you want, Sabrina." That wasn't his plan at all, he had to get the dude to say no or say yes but leave quickly. How was he going to do that..? Oh! He had an idea pop into his head. "How have you been? I haven't seen you for.. just a few hours. Enough time for something to go wrong." He shot a glance at Max when he said the word wrong. Nyxeris used his illuionary magic to show his true form to Max while Sabrina would only be seeing his shifted to human form. Max would now be able to see his wings, his black eyes and even though not a lot had changed since he had left his book.. Nyx added a few things from memory of what he looked like back inside the book, all bloodied and war torn. That would surely drive away any rational human, weaklings. But if he insisted on staying anyway, Nyx could do much worse.

Sabrina sighed, she could sense the tension between the two men, but why Nyx? "Max, he is my roommate, we act like we annoy eachother." She tried to explain as she sat down across from Nyx, Max following, "Listen Max, I am fine, just head to class." Sabrina said. She was polite to everyone, but she had no interest in this guy, and it was very clear that he did. "Its okay, I can wait" He replied. Sabrina sighed before looking to Nyx, "What could you possibly want that you couldnt wait til I got home" She asked, ignoring Max now as he stared down his opponent. Sabrina watched as Nyx looked to Max, instantly the man becoming terrifed, as if a demon was before him. Within seconds Max was on his feat, "What the fuck!" He yelled, his voice becoming high pitched as he scattered away. Sabrina quickly looked to him then to Nyx, "Nyx! You can use illusions on people" She scolded him, knowing him well enough from the book to know what he did. "But I can't complain becuase he never leaves me alone" She said, soon chuckling softly. "Now, what do you want?" She asked him, resting her chin on her hand as she looked to him, waiting to hear the words of chaos escape his lips.

Nyx nodded along with Sabrina's words, "Yep. We do that." "I just got bored at home." Nyx shruged, waiting for the effects to take place on his enemy across the table. He couldn't help a grin spreading across his face from when Max ran away. "What a coward." Nyxeris chuckled. Sabrina was the only human he knew that wouldn't run away like that, though.. He had shown Max himself back when he was bloody and more of a war struck way compared to what Sabrina had seen. "What do you mean I can't? I just did and it went very well. " Nyx pretended like it was a completely normal thing to do. "I could've done so much more." "I just wanted to check out the place you had to be kept in. It seemed very boring and here we are, it is boring." Nyxeris shrugged. He planned on staying for at least half of the day. "While we're here, what's that for?" He pointed to the rest of the area. "Is it for sparring?" Nyx questioned. He couldn't imagine anything else. Why were there lines in the ground? It made no sense. While they were chatting Nyx was palnning his nex move. Maybe he'd stick around and make sure Max didn't come back ,maybe he'd just just go get some food or explore a bit.. if Sabrina permitted. Both options worked for him.

"Well you made it to my life 3 days a week, in this boring hell hole. I am only here for the art." She said as she looked to her phone. Did she really want to go to class? No. Was Nyx's influence starting to rub off on her? Yes. He was going to get her in trouble, but something about him made her not want to leave. She had to think it was just not really having any friends or anyone to talk to constantly, even though he got on her nerves, it was fun. "Nyx, please, for the sake of my sanity, and for the sake of you having a place to stay, stop the illusions on people. You will do it to the wrong person if you keep it up." She said. Sabrina explained the campus to him, things that went on, the sports they had, slowly losing track of time once more. Before she noticed it was already the start time of her next class. Sighing she shook her head, "No use in going now" She said to herself. "Well, now that I am done for the day since someone distracted me, maybe we should spend some time trying to figure out our situation, the book, how to fix all of this?"
