31st October 2008
Rebekah left her flat and headed into Costa Verde town, she wanted to have breakfast somewhere, as she couldn't be bothered to make herself anything to eat. She liked her Independence, but she hated the loneliness which came with it. Which was why she had taken in a stranded kitten a couple of month ago. It was now able to fend for itself, so she could gladly leave the flat and know that Snowy would be waiting for her whenever she got back home.
She went into her favourite cafe and had scrambled eggs for her breakfast. An hour passed, and after several cups of coffee later, she decided it was time to head back to her flat. She would stop off by a book shop on her way home and get something to read. It helped to keep her occupied with having so much time to herself.
She wanted to get the Anne Rice novels, she had enjoyed Interview With The Vampire so much, she wanted to begin reading the books the movie was based on. She was lucky the bookshop she went into had the novel she was looking for. Desperate to start it, she took it out the bag and started reading while walking along the street.
So engrossed in the book she was, she wasn't really looking where she was going, and the next thing she had bumped into someone. Not just a gentle bump either, it knocked Rebekah off her feet onto the ground, as she ended up down there in a heap, having sprained her left ankle, which was crossed underneath her right leg.
"Ouch" she shouted out in pain, and then looked up at the person she'd bumped into feeling terrible. "Oh God, I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention" she said as she blushed.

James didn't like spending all day inside, expecially in the extremely small storage area of "Ombles Feet". So he looked for a reason why he might go outside. He looked in the fridge only to find it was full. He looked over at his small CD collection thinking if he liked any new songs, he didnt. James just decided to walk, maybe he might go see one of the few friends he had.
Once he was out of the store he turned right and started walking, wasnt long till he had lost himself in thought. He often did that, thinking about the past, about his days when he was on the street, sometimes though he thought about the future.
Today he was thinking of the past. He was thinking about how he had first discovered his powers, he conjured a small water ball as a reminder. He continued to walk down the street staring at his feet.
"Eh?" He said as he had hit something. He looked down to find a girl sprawled across the ground. He was about to apologise but she bet him to it. "Oh no, that was totally my fault." He bent down to pick her up. He stared into her eyes was suddenly lost for words. "Er...I'm James." He finally managed to say.

Rebekah started to suddenly laugh a little uncontrollably, at her current situation, sprawled on the pavement, book on top of her face, still open at the page she was reading, and then looked up to see a really handsome young guy looking down at her. She needed to stop trying to read books while she was walking, it was bad for your health.
"Well, I think it was partly my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going either, too busy reading this book" she said as she pointed to it in her other hand. She decided to put the offending object into her bag instead.
As he bent down to pick her up, he was staring into her eyes, and she found she did the same thing herself, losing herself in his eyes, which were an amazing colour. It was almost as if they were hypnotising her.
She was pretty much lost for words herself, but when he told her his name, she found she was able to find her voice again. "Well James, pleased to meet you, I'm Rebekah" she said still unable to take her eyes off of his.

"The pleasure is all mine" James stuttered, he quickly tore his eyes away from hers, "I didn't hurt you did I?" he said scanning Rebekahs body up and down. She was extremely gorgous in his eyes and as he went back to eye contact with her he couldn't help smiling his big crooked smile.
James wasn't very good at commnunication, he had never really needed to talk to many people and he had never relied on anybody. So when he went to talk to Rebekah he was dumb founded. He had no idea what to say. He knew one thing though, she was beautiful.
"Anyway" James said starting to walk of shyly, "I best be going, got some things to do, you know." He stood there not wanting to move as he had a war inside his head. Ask her to coffee!!! No don't you just knocked her over she probably doesnt even want to talk to you. What have you got to lose? Just do it you big baby!
He took a deep breath " Er... will you let me make it up to you? I'll buy you some coffee?" He tried to show his big crooked smile again but wasnt to sure what it looked liked when it was out.

Rebekah blushed slightly, when he said the pleasure was all his. She found she was a little lost for words, which was very unusual for Rebekah. The other day when she met Henry, it might have been under awkward circumstances, but at least she was able to talk and joke with him without any problem.
No...no...I'm fine, honestly" she said with a bit of a struggle, finding it difficult to string more than one word together. "Besides, wouldn't have happened if I'd been watching where I was going" she managed to say, and then bit down on her bottom lip slightly before giving him a small smile.
She began to look around herself, not sure what to do or say to next. So awkward was the moment now, with the sudden silence between them, she wished she could just phase herself away and make it easier for them both. But she found she didn't want to do that. As much as the silence was awkward, she felt compelled to stay near him.
"Oh, alright, well sorry for bumping into you again" she stammered, a bit disappointed he was making a decision to leave and get on with what ever it was he was going to do before their little 'bump' into each other.
Just when she began to walk away from him to get on to doing what she was going to do, he spoke to her again. She turned round slowly, with a smile, which began to grow bigger when she realised what he was asking.
"Sure, that would be just...lovely, thank you" she replied, even though she knew that it wasn't really James' fault she fell to the ground, it had been her own fault. She felt herself grinning at him.

James looked at Rebekah, she looked so beautiful when she smiled. He started leading the way towards a closeby coffee shop. He went up and ordered a frappe` for himself, "What would you like? And I am buying it."
Once they had got their drinks James walked over to a table and sat down casually, he stared at her for a while before speaking, "So why are you in this neck of the woods?" he said taking sip of his drink.
"What book were you reading?" James said remembering she was reading when he had knocked her off her feet. He chuckled at the thought of the innuendo of it. He looked back up at her smiling.

Rebekah continued to smile at James as they walked together to a near by coffee shop. "Well thank you James" she replied with a warm smile, "I'll have a cappuccino please" she continued, still smiling at him. Losing herself for a few moments in his handsome face.
She walked with James to the table and sat down, still smiling at him and taking a sip of her drink before answering his question. "I live in Costa Verde" she replied, grinning, "So that's why I am here" she continued, still grinning.
"Oh the book" she began, and blushed, and then laughed, "I had only just bought it, but I was so desperate to start reading it, it was Interview with a Vampire" she continued, explaining her reasons for reading the book and not watching where she was going in the first place.

"Oh I've heard of that book its quite good." James said this with a smile. He wasnt much a reader himself. He heard a low sound in the background, he rogonised it instantly. It was his favourite classical song of all time. He started hum it.
He started messing around with his powers like he always did when he was board. With a quick flick of his finger a strong gust of wind blew in Rebekahs face. He smiled his crooked smile. "So Rebekah you got any nicknames?" James said.
"Ouch!" He said. He hadnt realised he had been warming his body up, his hand was very hot, but the very tips of his fingers were burning. He started taking deep breaths to sooth his body. What the hell just happened?

"You have? That's good to hear. I actually watched the movie, loved it so much I wanted to read the book" Rebekah replied giving him the reason for buying the book in the first place. "I was certainly enjoying it when I happened to bump into you" she continued with a grin.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew in her face when James had flicked his finger. So he had a power, just like she did. She grinned. "Thanks for that, always wanted wind in my face" she said with a grin. "Yeah, people call me Becky or Bex, up to you which you call me" she replied giving him another warm smile.
"What you doing to yourself?" she asked when he said ouch, he looked as if he was feeling a lot of heat. "So you obviously got a power there James, I have one too" she added with a grin, as she tried to figure out what kind of power James actually had.

When he heard Bex say something about his powers he was shocked. He thought he had kept it hidden. But when she had said that she had a power too he relaxed a little. But he was still surprised that she spoke so openly about it.
"Oh I don't know, its new to me" He replied to Bex' question about his ouch moment. "Well whats your secret power?" He said with a bit of a sarcastic voice, but he was interested.
James sat there for a bit. "So you want to know what my power is? .... Come with me and I'll show you." He reached for her hand and led her outside.

"Oh, well whatever it is, I hope you get it sorted" Rebekah said when he didn't know what had happened to make him go ouch. However it would seem she shocked him a little, talking about her power so openly. It was after her encounter with Henry, he had made it not sound such a bad thing, she didn't think there was a problem in telling someone else about it.
"Yeah, course I want to know what your power is, I'll show you mine as well" she said quite excitedly as she allowed James to grab her hand and lead her out the coffee shop they were in. She wondered what his actual power was, she liked to find out about other people's powers, and hopefully he would find her power just as interesting as his own, whatever it was, but with the gust of wind he blew in her face, she had a feeling his was probably more interesting than her own power.

James was glad that Bex let him hold her hand. It was so smooth, and cold. He only hoped his wasnt too hot from his brief heat spasm. "Hmmm, so what is your power?" James said as he started to lead Bex to a beach.
He purposely lead Bex to a beach because at the beach he had all for element close by, so he could make it more dramatic. He walked out till his feet were touching the water. "So what do you think it is?" He said louder then the waves that were breaking not far from him, "About my powers that is?" He quickly added incase she didnt get it.
James liked showing off his power and so as Bex said her answer he bent down low dramatically and launched himself in the air pulling the sea water up with him. The water and James continued to fly up until he was twenty feet in the air. He waved down to Bex with a grin.

Rebekah followed James as he lead her to where ever it was he was taking her and then he asked what her power was. She grinned at him. "Phasing" she said simply, being that he had a power himself, he was sure to know what it meant, and if not, she'd be showing him soon enough anyway.
She watched as he made his way into the water, she had no idea at all what his power was, she didn't even know what he was planning to do. "I don't know, but with the gust of wind you blew in my face before, I was going to go with weather control or something" she shouted, as the waves were making crashing noises.
Then she watched what he was doing, and well what he was doing wasn't exactly weather control, was it? More like water control or something. What ever it was, it was pretty damn impressive.
"Alright, water control?" she shouted with a different answer, and still grinning at him.

Phasing, Oh that sounds exciting James thought but he was too wrapped up in his own show to ask Bex to show him. When he heard water control he laughed loudly. "And so much more" He said down to her. He blinked his eyes and the water that was holding him up fell to reveal hard earth underneath.
He stood on it for a second and then shoved the earth out to make a ramp. He started walking down it towards Bex. Each step he took the earth behind him sank back down to the ground. "And so much more" He said softly this time staring into Bex' eyes.
"And yours?" He said bowing down to show that his show was over. He came back up with a grin on his face staring at her face, waiting.

Rebekah continued to watch what he was doing with his powers, trying to get a grasp on what he was doing. Her eyes opened wide as she watched the water fall to reveal earth. Then a ramp formed and he started to walk down it. He had laughed at her answer of water control, saying so much more. So it was more than just water control.
As he walked toward her the ground sank back down again. It was simply amazing. As he came toward her and softly repeated his sentence that it was so much more, she smiled softly at him, "So how much more?" she asked looking into his eyes, waiting for an answer, and trying to rack her brains to think of what his power could be.
Water, Earth... he blew in her face, Wind? The only thing she hadn't seen him do was something with fire. It must be element control or something.
"Well before I show you mine, can I ask? What you have, is it Element Control? Just it seems that way, even though I haven't seen you control fire yet" she said softly, and then began to walk to the stone break in the water. "Watch this" she said, as she simply walked through the stone water break to the other side, and then climbed up to the top of it and looked down waving at him.
