HISTORY
colton bird, no one ever thought that the lofty wind elemental would ever amount to anything. he was never determined and he was constantly lazing around trying to work his way into any girl's pants. hell, colton never got around to finishing school. he worked at his element himself and for his self teaching he was pretty damn skilled with wind and everything that dealt with his elemental. who would have ever thought that he had potential? no one also ever thought he would catch the eye of a girl five years younger than him, athentha rae at that. she was a water elemental who had the option of becoming a model after she completed high school. the pair was completely unexpected but in the end they began building the business that today is known as bird flight company.

at the age of twenty three he was going nowhere with his life. at all. he was living off of the small inheritance that he has parents had left him before they died in a plane crash. he had gained his business and the wife of his dreams all out of a gamble one night. athena had been on the arm of a twenty year old man with a gambling problem and plenty of money to fuel his issue. colton didn't have any more then the heirloom watch that he was flaunting on his wrist. the young man still bet him all, the plane construction business that his parents had gifted to him and rights over the lovely lady on his arm. colton was inebriated and he decided to play him in a game of cards. by the luck of the gods and possibly some cheating he managed to come out victorious with a business in his name and a girl that he was determined to keep.

athena stuck around, for what reason would never be understood. only a few months later she was now athena bird and instead of a model in the making she was now personal secretary to colton and expecting their first child. settled with their business in canada she was the reason that the bird flight company even began to flourish. colton didn't have the intelligence to keep the business running, it was convincing ways and newly sprout charisma that would make him one of the most influential business men by the time he was forty. athena was humble and didn't need any of the claim to the success of the company. only a year later they were building a larger house for their budding family and the business was beginning to take off, five bird flight company plane construction areas had been build over various areas of canada.

dahlia was only the first of three total children that athena would give birth to. she was honestly in love with colton and she had transformed him into a sincere man. their family was the thing that she loved most with the business coming in a close second. by the time she was twenty four the family had grown to a total of five bird babies and bird flight company was spreading out and colton was becoming a serious business man. colton focused on the business and began to take over the spots that athena had worked hard to fill. he understood the ropes and was living up to his title of owner. so that she could spend more time with the children athena took over a position as just a plain secretary.

dahlia would grow up to be a great disappointment to the bird family. by the age of seventeen she had managed to have three threats of being expelled from the academy and didn't show any interest in her affinity with water. she found herself a normal mortal that she was interested in and soon found out that she was pregnant. both colton and athena had great pride in the fact that they elementals and couldn't understand why dahlia was so eager to deny her family and her roots. athena cried for days and in the end colton disowned his eldest daughter. he had plans that dahlia would take over the business after college but all of those hopes had been erased.

philomena was the hope for the whole bird family. she was the one who always wanted to tag along with athena and would spend her whole days wandering around the offices and peering in on her father to see what he was doing. she loved to be taken to all of the galas and parties that the bird couple were invited too. most of the time colton couldn't be home because he off at some sort of party or stayed late at the office to catch up on some things or even get ahead. phillie would always beg her father to take her flying because the family had a few personal planes in their name. or she would wander off into the dense forest area that surrounded their secluded house. she would either do fine on her own or would be immensely interested in whatever her father or mother happened to be doing. colton was delighted that after ten years of homeschooling at the age of thirteen she nearly toppled their plane over on one flight. she was a wind elemental.

the arranged marriage was never something that athena agreed on. she knew that phillie looked up to her and always worked to appease her mother. wouldn't philomena think it was low of her mother if she signed her off like she was a piece of property? but colton was driven and wouldn't take any of his wife's thoughts into consideration. the dayton's had been loose friend of the bird's since colton had started the business. they were overflowing with wealth and no purpose for spending. hayne dayton was the one that first proposed the idea of setting their two thirteen year old children into an arranged marriage. phillie would be the one that would be ready to take over the business after finishing college and with his son kieran's wealth the business would be able to reach levels that colton had never thought of reaching.

the raven tattoo that birdie got when she was fourteen was the symbol of their bird family but the d that her father instructed to be placed behind her ear was mysterious. in reality it was like she was being branded to the dayton family and promised to them after she finished her schooling. philomena was furious when her father told her of the marriage right before she started at the academy. her mother was going to allow her father to use her like an instrument for the business and have her marry a boy that she detested. she has spent her last few years at school icy towards her family and being completely self reliant. she is an outstanding student but completely guarded and cynical now that she knows how heartless her father is. she refuses to marry kieran.

RP SAMPLE

it felt bone chilling outside. how did she even get outside? havanna couldn't remember what she had done to find herself out on the grounds. it was the dead of night and everyone else was soundly sleeping in their fourposter beds while the prefects and teachers patrolled to make the students weren't causing any chaos. havanna wasn't where she was supposed to be but she didn't have any intentions of causing chaos. not that sort of chaos at least, nothing that would disrupt the other inhabitants of the castle. she was going to stir up havoc within herself and no one would care as long as they didn't have to hear her scream. she knew that she screamed too much for the liking of others, especially the girls that had to share a dormitory with her. nightmares occurred daily and they were all usually so intense that havanna would be awoken by her own screaming and find that she was drenched in sweat. she slept in thick shirts, cautious that someone would try to and grab at her desperately if her screams ever grew too piercing. bowie was the one that usual had to rouse her out of her sleep now that they had forged a friendship. havanna was grateful, bowie was gentle and never went to grab at her bare hands. her mind couldn't remember who bowie was and why she seemed so crucial to her. bowie? why did that name automatically become paired with callum? they were people, she was sure of that much at least. besides that her mind couldn't solve much else.

her mind couldn't make complete thoughts, bits and pieces of unformed sentences or emotions were whirling around and creating a fog in her brain. it hurt too much to think she tried not to. questions continued to form in her mind, the only things that stood out to her prominently. why was she outside? how had she gotten herself dressed? why hadn't anyone found her wondering around in a daze? why couldn't she think? why was there so much searing pain? pain. that was something that her mind could zero in on. how had she dealt with the pain? it didn't seem as serious as it had been earlier. havanna could blearily recall that she had nastily sliced her arms up earlier. hadn't she promised someone that she would work on coping with her emotions? there was sudden feeling of anguish centered at her temples and her extensive thoughts ceased there. havanna thought that she could spot faint smears of crimson on the inner arms of her sleeves. why had these cuts ended up deeper than usual? eric's mum. two words clearly appeared and they were they only thing that havanna could focus on. she wanted to shriek and scream until someone found her. recalling the memory was inevitable, it laid only right under the surface and could be brought back with ease. two simple words had urged the memory and havanna was reliving through it again. the memory was stuck on replay and the horrific events unfolded with sharp clarity. how could someone be so cruel? how could you do that someone you married eternally?

she had to look something not far off from the living dead. her pale skin was flushed, the briskness of the air robbing any warmth that had been coursing through her body. her eyes were dull and the shimmer that callum could create wasn't apparent. her blue orbs seemed to be glazed over, like she was far off in another universe that no one else could enter. blood was even smeared on her sleeves and the cuts on her arms and stomach were still fresh from only a few hours before. she couldn't shake the ringing scream from her ears and right behind her eyes she saw two hands roughly taking hold of a panicking lady. eric had gifted her with this when she had tried to be consoling and reached out to grasp him. he was the source of the tornado of emotions that had driven her to create more slices. callum would be disappointed. callum and eric were irrelevant. the memory needed to stop and she had to find some way to make the pain subside. she blinked and the lake appeared before her, even though she had been standing in front of it for some odd minutes. the water, it would be icy and chilling. it would work her body and mind out this daze and if it couldn't at least her thoughts would stop. the pain would fade away as well. with either outcome she would be winning. vacantly she reached down for her sandals and fumbled with taking them off. she had sandals? she must have taken them from bowie. her shorts were harder to pull off. where the hell that she gotten shorts from? her mind couldn't produce an answer. she pulled off her denim shirt and in a cotton tank top she stepped into the shocking water of the lake.
