It was cold outside. Winter was approaching. However, Callisto hadn't expected it to be this cold. She was only dressed in a striped top, skinny jeans, boots, and a silver Barret. She still felt cold. The wind, honestly, felt like needles, pinching at her bare skin. It was much, much warmer in Miami. Callisto wrapped her arms around her body and shivered, her brown eyes closing. Her teeth chattered. She knew that she should head home already, back to the warmth and safety of her house, and sit next to the fireplace. But Callisto didn't want to. The whole reason she had came to the forest was to get away. She hadn't even told her twin where she had gone, but she already knew that he knew where she had gone. The forest, in a way, calmed her down. It was dark, but she wasn't scared of anything. Not after everything she had been through. The only thing to fear was fear itself. Another shiver ran down her spike. Fianlly.she looked up, and grabbed a branch, and pulled herself up to sit in the tree. It was still cold, but the leaves kept her protected from the blowing winds. However, she still was, indeed, cold. "Ugh." she muttered, anger filling up inside of her, suddenly. Just breathe, Callisto. she told herself softly, eyes closing. Just take a deep breath, and relax.

"Sheryl wear a jacket or something. It's cold outside." Sheryl rolled her eyes, ignoring her brother and bounding down the steps. "Sheryl!" "God Zavier, leave me alone. I'm fourteen-years-old, not a fucking baby. I don't need you telling me what to wear." Zavier started to say something else but Sheryl was already out the front door and headed down the street. She didn't get very far when the wind blew past and caused her to shiver. "Fuck. It is freezing out here." Not wanting to go back to the house and risk hearing her brother tell her off for walking out on him once again, she tried to ignore the cold wind and carried on her trek to...wherever it was she was headed. Sheryl finally reached her destination, which happened to be the forest. Another breeze blew past, and Sheryl let out another curse, wrapping her arms tighter around herself. Looking around, she finally found a tree big enough for her to sit under, that way it was blocking most of the wind.

Eyes closed, she heard footsteps. Touching the ground lightly, coming closer and closer. Callisto had very sensitive hearing. She heard a girl curse. Callisto's brown eyes slowly opened, and she peered below her to see the girl. She had glasses, and looked... Maybe as troubled as Callisto? She didn't know. Quickly, Callisto grabbed the branch she was sitting on, to swing herself down in front of the girl. "What are you doing here?" she asked, not bothering to explain what Callisto herself was doing in the forest. Maybe there was something troubling the girl? She didn't even know why she had climbed down the tree in the first place. "Damn, you look like you've been in a mess." she said. Yes, maybe it had been a little insensitive. But, oh well, that was Callisto. She had an expressionless look on her face. It didn't show any sign of sarcasm, anger... Of course, her voice had came out sarcastic, but it always does. She was truly concerned at what had happened, but Callisto wouldn't show it. She wasn't the kind of girl to act caring and compassionate for somebody she had just met -- she wasn't the type of girl to give or help.

Sheryl had just closed her eyes when she heard someone speak to her. She hadn't realized anyone else was there. Shows how much I pay attention. Frowning, she opened her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her. "Same thing you should be doing. Minding my own damn business." So maybe that wasn't the most polite answer. Sheryl didn't really care though, given the way the girl was talking to her. "You don't look much better yourself." Sheryl grumbled as she closed her eyes again, hoping the girl would take a cue and leave her alone.

Callisto only laughed at Sheryl's response. Really, she was taking a liking to this girl. "You don't look much better yourself." Callisto grinned lightly, and folded her arms. "Yeah, I know." she said, her grin disappearing, a frown now appearing on her face. "Life is sometimes a jerk, y'know?" she licked her lips and sat down next to the girl, wrapping her arms around herself. "My name is Callisto Rousseau." she introduced herself. "It's a pleasure to meet you." she said sarcastically, with a light grin on her face. Really, toying with other people was really fun. However, Callisto did want to know what had happened. "So what's your story? I don't freaking care if it's none of my business, I never said it was, now did I?" Callisto leaned back, against the tree.

Sheryl sighed when the girl sat down next to her. She wasn't in the mood to be nice, and she certainly wasn't in the mood to deal with this girl. She didn't offer her name to the girl when she introduced herself, why give her more of a reason to stay? Sheryl pulled her knees up to her chest, resting her arms on them. "Well, I'm glad you know its not, and I hope you won't be offended when I don't tell you." She replied briskly.

"Don't worry," She didn't blame her. Callisto wouldn't tell her story to some random person she had just met -- how should she know that she could trust them? She knew that she was acting like a bitch again. It was probably the main reason that Sheryl wouldn't tell her anything. Her eyes closed. She couldn't just sit there and say nothing, that would be boring. "Tsch." she muttered, under her breath. "I know that I'm acting like a total bitch, but it's polite to at least give your name, love." Callisto turned to the other girl. "The whole reason that I'm asking for your freaking story is because I'm concerned, okay? I'm not good at this helping stuff, cause I don't help people. And if you're going to tell me that you don't need help, I don't believe you, nor do I really care, got it?" her voice was sharp. Helping was strange, really. Callisto was lost and didn't know what to do. It wasn't like her to help others, and she didn't even know why she had even tried to help the girl.

"Why would you be concerned for me?" Sheryl cracked one eye open, looking at the girl. "You don't know me." She didn't understand why this girl was trying to help when a) Sheryl hadn't asked for it, and b) the girl obviously didn't want to help. "It's Sheryl, if you must know."

Callisto had no answer. She only shrugged, "I don't know." she said simply, "But you seem... really... Ugh, I don't know what the word is... Troubled." she closed her eyes for moments. "Yes, that's the word..." her voice trailed off. "I know that because, I look the same when I'm troubled." Callisto shook her head, wondering what exactly she was doing. Her eyes turned back to Sheryl. However, they no longer held the mocking, playful look. They were serious. "Does it really matter why I'm concerned? Does it matter that I don't know you?" Maybe Callisto would feel the same way as Sheryl did about her, if somebody asked her those questions. Annoyed, angry, pissed off. It doesn't matter, she muttered to herself, biting her lower lip back, trying not to holler that aloud. "It doesn't matter."

Sheryl opened both eyes then, looking over at Callisto. What was with this girl? "I am troubled. I've been nothing but troubled since the day I was born." She frowned, looking away again and stretching her legs out. This girl wasn't leaving, it was apparent by the way she kept talking. "I think it does matter."

She ignored Sheryl's retort. "Oh. That's something we have in common." Callisto told her. "Ever since I was a child, my life has been a complete mess. I'm assuming yours has, too." she said, with a shrug. "Ever since I was born, my twin brother and I have been treated like crap." Callisto said. Though she spoke softly, her voice was sharp. You can hear the anger inside of her. "In this world, there's two kinds of people. The ones who hurt others and the ones that are being hurt by others." she muttered. Why am I telling this to her? She's just another girl, probably just over-reacting. I shouldn't try to be nice when I'm not. Callisto wrapped her arms tighter around herself as the wind blew harshly against her skin. She laughed lightly, and looked back to Sheryl. "Aren't you cold?"

"No, not my whole life." Sheryl sighed. "Only the past like, 10 years." Which was pretty much her whole life, considering she was only 14. At her question, Sheryl shrugged. "Not really." She hadn't really noticed the cold one they'd begun talking. Of course, now that Callisto said something, she was starting to feel the nip of the cold air on her bare arms.

Sheryl didn't look that old. Maybe around fifteen or fourteen years old. Callisto sighed, "Well, mine has. When I was a baby, my mom put me up for adoption. After that, I've been going from foster home to foster home, until one finally took me in. I wish that I could say that I loved them, but I didn't. They didn't love me, either." she didn't bother explaining about why. "Until we finally were adopted, taken in, and loved." Callisto sighed.

Sheryl looked at the girl, and sighed softly. "Well, at least you didn't know your parents. Me and my two brothers lived with our mom and dad before they died. After that we were bounced around from foster home to foster home, getting abused in every kind of way before my brother decided he was tired of it. We ran away not too long ago, no-one adopted us, and we don't want to be adopted. We're done relying on people to help only to have them hurt us." She wasn't sure why she said all of that, but it had came out and she couldn't take it back. "Be glad you have a home..."

Hearing Callisto's story, she realized that both of them indeed had a lot in common, more than she had thought. Both of them were abused and had been going from home to home. Callisto had tried to run away, too, but her twin brother had told her not to, and she never wanted to upset him, as he was the closest person to her, and she never had been seperated from him before. Losing him would hurt her so much. "I'm abused, too." she said, "My last foster parents abused me. And after my new parents adopted me, I got a boyfriend, for the first time, and he abused me, too..." Callisto told her. "I never said I wasn't," she retorted, before calming down. Maybe people do have it worst than she did. "You don't have a home, love?" she asked, feeling pity for once. "Where do you guys live?"
