Always a Chance [open]

[Axel Persei Holloway]

Hey, Axel! You know it would be fun to capture that person and-

No. Axel had to ignore him. A was trying to get him to hurt someone, and that wouldn't be a fun sight, nor memory. Axel didn't want to hurt anyone, but with A's constant request it was hard to ignore the voice inside his head.

Just keep walking down the street, and he would be fine. Look for the kids he knew were his siblings. Axel pulled out a picture from when he was ten that he manage to hide over the years. Alura would be unrecognizable, but the other two might look about the same, just older. They were still really young though.

You'll never find them, A chimed in. Axel shook his head before walking into the Three Broomsticks. The twins would be 17 now, and they could drink. If they went to Hogsmeade this is where they would be. Axel sat in a booth, and ordered a butterbeer before having no choice but to listen to his thoughts and A's chatter.

This is so boring! Let's join up with the Dark Lord! We're free now, so why not? A pointed out and Axel sighed.

"I left to find my family, so shut it," Axel answered before thanking the waitress for his butterbeer. He looked around the store trying to sight a friendly and familiar face.

[Kandace Lenore Poe]

Kandace walked into the Three Broomsticks and looked around. She saw a few people she knew, a few people who's memory she wiped and then someone she didn't really know. Her hair, a platinum blonde with neon orange highlighs, started to shimmer like the colors of a rainbow. She squinted and stopped it at brown hair with tints of gold and blue. Apperenly her hair was feeling like a Ravenclaw today. She shook her head and walked over to the new guys table.

"Do you mind if I sit with you?" she asked with a smile on her face. She thought he'd been muttering to himself for a second there but decided to let it pass. Didn't want to make a bad first impression.

[Axel Persei Holloway]

Hey it looks like a good person to torment! A laughed in Axel's head. He looked at the lady who joined him and smiled. She seemed quite pretty, and she decided to sit with him. Most people thought he was crazy with his muttering to himself, but perhaps she didn't see him do that. Maybe he could make a friend. No, A wouldn't allow it.

Just wait, eventually I'll take over! A warned with a really crazy laugh that only was matched by Bellatrix Lestrange's creepy evil laugh in evilness and creepiness. "No, I don't mind," Axel replied. But I do! Axel ignored A's comment.

"My name is Axel Holloway. It's a pleasure to meet you," Axel greeted.

[Kandace Lenore Poe]

Kandace smiled, any other person would have asked questions like Are you a reporter? or Why? Do I look lonely to you? and shooed her away. But this guy didn't maybe this guy would be different that all the rest. She took a seat and pulled her hair over on shoulder. He introduced himself and she held out a hand.

"Kandace Poe. The pleasure is all mine." she responded. "Kind of glad you didn't respond to what I usually get around this area. A lot of the people in her kind of don't like me."

[Axel Persei Holloway]

Well it may be because you're a nosey little- Axel tried his best to ignore A, but it was actually fairly hard even after the years of getting used to A. Axel always tried to be the nicest person he could be, despite everything A did to try and prevent that. Axel hated A with a passion and wish he never came about.

"Why wouldn't they like you?" Axel asked, ignoring a couple more comments coming in from A that were not pleasant about how they wouldn't like her. It was a really good thing A wasn't a real person or he'd have gotten killed a long time ago for some of his comments.

[Kandace Lenore Poe]

"Because of my job, I'm not the most liked in my department. I'm kind of a whiner, I'm always wanting to be out there. But no one really likes obliviators." Kandace chuckled nervously. "What am I doing? I'm complaining to someone I just met, I'm so stupid." she shook her head and apologized, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude."

Something in his eyes made her think there was something back there, hiding trying to force it's way to the surface, but she had to be mistaken. The only thing like that was the people with multiple personality disorder or what ever it was called.

[Axel Persei Holloway]

"No, it's ok, really," Axel replied with a small chuckle of his own, "I don't see why Obliviators would be hated. Sure, you erase memories, but it's your job. Plus, admitting you're a whiner says a lot about how you know how you act, and therefore can control such a habit."

Either that or she's just an annoying person who should be- Axel managed to ignore the rest of A's sentence. As long as he didn't receive a shock, or fell asleep A wouldn't get to tell Kandace all the things Axel was hearing. Really, Axel did like Kandace already. She seemed so nice, and he already liked her as a friend already.

[Kandace Lenore Poe]

"No, I always end up doing this, I get caught up in what I'm saying and end up going on an on about my self not letting the other person talk. So you're turn, tell me about yourself." Kandace said, "Trust me, that's probably the only thing I'm good at admitting."

She ordered a butterbeer, she wasn't much of a drinker but might as well right? She tugged on her hair trying to think of what color she was going to have it next. While thinking, it turned black with orange highlights. If she pulled out a mirrior she was sure she looked like halloween.

[Axel Persei Holloway]

"It's fine really... If you want to know more about me, I guess I could tell you a bit... I was trained as a soldier in the United States, and I talk to myself a lot... nothing too special," Axel shrugged with a smile. If she just thought that he talked to himself, then she might not suspect A being there in his head either. He just had to bide his time.

Hey! You better not be trying to hide me! I'm part of you too! A insisted. Axel had to admit it, A was a part of him, and hiding him from everyone wasn't a very good thing if he wanted to get close to anyone. Kandace might find out eventually, but they just met, it wasn't like she needed to know. Axel actually realized that perhaps A's hostility towards others was because he never had recognition, and always treated as the figment of Axel's imagination. But Axel could risk trusting A, after all that A had done, and how Death Eater friendly he is.

[Kandace Lenore Poe]

"Really a soldier? That's so cool. You talk to your self? Tell me about that please? I'd like to know. Although, I proabably shouldn't ask. I'm a bit nosy..." Kandace chuckled nervously. "Well, um, I'm a metamorphagus.. I think that's the only special thing about me. I'm sorry, if I'm being a bit awkward you can just leave."

She started to rub her hair and changed it again. It was now bright pink with black and yellow highlights. She often changed it when she was nervous or when she was bored. Sometimes she'd get bright colors get the best of her and she'd have the strangest colors in her hair.

[Axel Persei Holloway]

"Yeah... I didn't see combat in the States, but I ran away before they had a chance," Axel shrugged before taking a drink of his butterbeer, "Ah... erm... I just talk to myself because it helps me think things through..." Axel was very curious about Kandace, being a Metamorphagus and all. It was very cool to finally meet one of them. Not that it really mattered that much. And there was something odd about her, which he couldn't place his finger on at the moment. "No, it's all good. Not awkward at all... I think that it's really cool that you're a Metamorphagus, you don't see that everyday."

Axel then realized what it was. Took you that long, idiot? A asked with a laugh inside of Axel's head. He couldn't tell her blood status. Axel had the ability to sense the blood status of everyone else in the room. The little black boy with the group of friends was a half-blood, the little girl in the corner across the room was a pure blood, and an older girl at the bar was a muggle born. At least she wasn't close, or there would be a scene. It would not be very nice and he'd loose a possible friend sitting across from him.

[Kandace Lenore Poe]

"Oh, okay. So you ran away from fighting only to end up in a waring country? Geeze I sound like a reporter... Any way. So talking to yourself works? I never would have thought it did... " Kandace pouted approvingly, "I'm the only one in my family. It was quite a surprise when my hair started to change color. I really didn't expect to be told when I was 11 that my family were wizards and that I was a metamorphagus. My brothers were a bit jealous."

[Axel Persei Holloway]

"My family is somewhere... here," Axel shrugged before his eyes went wide when she revealed how she was a muggleborn through the way she said. He stood up and slammed his fist on the table. "YOU LITTLE-" he pulled out his wand and aimed it at her. These were the worst times he had ever felt, as he had the rages and could not control himself. He imagined it was like when a werewolf transformed into a werewolf, though Axel remembered every single detail. "EXPULSO!" he fired the spell at Kandace.

Way to go. Smooth, really smooth Axel, A teased. Axel couldn't control what he was doing or saying. I can't control myself, you know that, Axel responded bitterly hoping that he didn't harm Kandace.

[Kandace Lenore Poe]

Kandace jumped out of her chair just in time, the spell caught her by her shirt. Her jaw dropped, "What was that for!? This is a new shirt!!" she squeaked trying to see if the shirt was still wearable. "Ooh, how could you!" she pulled out her wand and thought, obliviate. She had to make it like it had never happened. She'd apperently said something to set him off, the only thing was what was it? She had no idea because no one told her. All she knew was that her brothers went to some private school, and her parents had her going to public school, it was simple as that. Right?

[Axel Persei Holloway]

Axel's memory of the last few moments went away and soon focused back. He had forgotten everything, except a little bit after the two met. What the hell happened? A asked, mirroring Axel's thoughts. He looked around confused, seeing people stare at him before cursing underneath his breath. He sat back down, placing his head on the table.

"I'm sorry..." Axel sighed, "I guess a muggleborn passed... It's complicated... I'm so sorry..." Axel felt terrible. One of his rages obviously took place from the stares he received and the way she looked. He needed to get it under control, but it was so terribly hard... he'd been trying for a long time.
