It was an odd feeling she had leaving the classroom. She had been starring at the back of this werewolf guys head most of the biology class. The scent was so familiar, and her hardworking brain was on speed to figure things out. Leaving the classroom, she frowned a bit to herself. Atlas’s mind was trying to solve the puzzle, but it was such a long time since she had been in company with the scent of relatives. The hybrid’s heart started beating faster and faster, as her brain solved the mystery for her eyes. It was a distant memory, but it was there - just waiting for her to pluck it from the tree. Atlas stopped in the middle of the hall and for a second she remained breathless. Her eyes flickered around, and she took a deep breath in, feeling the overwhelming emotions rush over her. Atlas turned around on her heels and her dark brown eyes searched for the werewolf from class. Her mind flashed back to her childhood, back to when she was a kid. Back to the time before her siblings and parents had died in the fire, the thought made her insides shiver with an uncomfortable feeling of grief. Her eyes found the werewolf in the crowd, and she found herself moving towards him, almost like a lost puppy. It wasn’t till she finally caught up with him, that she placed a hand on his left shoulder to stop him from moving further. “Dean,” she said in a low whisper that was almost impossible to hear. Atlas hadn’t seen him since they were kids, and it was first now she realized that she had found her cousin. Atlas was always wearing heels, but even with heels on she still looked tiny next to Dean.

Dean walked out of biology class and down the crowded hallway, checking his phone for text messages when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around with a confsued expression as he didn't recognize the girl at first. Although her scent was oddly familiar, he couldn't quite place why. “Sorry. Do I know you?” he asked slowly, but the more he looked into her brown eyes, the more they reminded him of someone from his childhood. It just seemed impossible, to the point where the odds of her being a stranger made much more sense. “Atlas?” he asked, looking into her brown eyes with confusion, most of all because she’d been assumed dead after what had happened. “I-,” he hesitated in a low voice, shifting between her eyes before he wrapped his arms around her in an embrace. “I can't believe it's you,” he said, holding her tight as he'd thought he'd never see her again. His family had lost contact with her for a long time – something that hadn’t been better by the fact that her family was murdered. “We all thought you were gone,” he said as he removed his arms from her, beyond grateful for the fact that she was here, and at the academy of all places. “What happened?" he asked, hoping that she'd been doing well despite everything. “Did you recently move here?” he asked, glancing around the hallway before looking back at her, expecting her to explain what her life had been like since they lost contact.

It was real. She looked into his eyes, and felt every single emotion in her system lighting a fire. As he said her name she nodded quietly trying to avoid getting to emotional, however, as he wrapped his arms around her - it was an impossible task. Atlas breathed out, as if the heaviest stone was lifted from her chest. The hybrid wrapped her arms around him, and was almost afraid to let go again. Atlas had been told from a young age not to speak to anyone about the fire - the accident. Somehow, she had learned that it wasn't an accident. But she had been a young girl, it wasn't up to her to solve the case. Atlas had been gone, or more so undercover. Hadn't it been for the Winston family, who knew where she had been this day. "I almost was," she breathed out and wiped away a few tears. Atlas wasn't fond of being sentimental in the middle of a crowd. A smile blossomed a little on her face, as the waves of questions started to move to close to shore. She locked her arm around his and nodded to the side. Atlas wanted to chat more with him, there was a lot of catching up to do. They could go to her room, however, she wasn't sure if her roommate Olivia was there or not. So maybe it was just best to take a walk outside. Spring was starting to show its true colors after a grey and boring winter season. "I'm actually not quite sure what happened," she admitted as she opened the door to the academy garden. "I tried to do some research, but, all it says it was a tragic fire accident," she added, but it wasn't like she believed true. There had to be more information. She took a deeper breath in. Even after all these years, she still felt it like it was yesterday. "A family of demons took me in. The Winstons'. They are quite nice," Atlas explained with a warm smile on her face. She had been lucky. "I have been at the academy since the beginning of February, so only for a month," she chuckled lightly before looking around. "The family paid for their son and I could start here. To get the whole Gaia experience," a wider grin grew on her lips. "How about you? What have you been up to?" Atlas asked and tilted her head a little more curious to the side.

He exhaled a sharp breath as she said 'I almost was', feeling bad for not knowing that she’d survived. He followed her towards the garden, listening to her side of the story. It matched up with what his family knew, however his father had revealed that he suspected a vampire clan to be responsible for their death. Dean also had a feeling that they tortured some of the members to try and get information from them, but it all happened so long ago, so he wasn't sure that it had been connected to this.
He smiled faintly as she mentioned the family that took her in. “That’s great, Atlas,” he said, appreciating the fact that she’d at least had that. A good family. Then she explained that she’d only recently started at the academy with her adoptive brother, making him nod slowly before he looked around at the garden.
He turned his eyes to her as she returned the question, sending her a calm smile. “I moved here about four years ago to study at the academy,” he replied. It’s where his mother grew up and went to school, so it had always been a dream of his to study here as well. “I live in the woods with my pack, but other than that I'm usually busy with school or work,” he said, although it was of course not the whole truth. Many things had happened the past year, but for the first time he felt like they were slowly returning to normal, making it easier for him to focus on his studies. “My father father passed away last April,” he said in a low voice, feeling like she had the right to know that her uncle had died. He didn’t like to think back on his death. Their relationship had ended on a terrible note, and he still felt terribly guilty about it. He looked straight into the air for a while, contemplating whether he should tell her that the fire probably hadn’t been an accident. “There’s no easy way to say this but, uh, my father was convinced that it wasn’t an accident… the fire,” he said, returning his gaze to her to see if she’d considered the possibility of arson.

She listened to him. Hearing about his life was somehow a relief, even if it was just a normal life. Atlas had a normal life, but she knew that things in her life was about to take a more elegant turn to the worse - or at least more complicated. For starters her appointment and deal with the demon Caine. It was a problem yet, but she had seen enough movies where deals like the one she had made, ended on the wrong foot. Atlas was no stranger to complicated things, but she wanted to live as carefree as possible. Her eyes widened a bit as he spoke about his fathers passing last year. It took her a few seconds before she blinked in surprise. Maybe all that time living in her own shell, she had forgotten that his family wasn't immortal. People were killabel. "I'm terribly sorry to hear," she responded a few seconds later with a sorrow-filled expression in her eyes. Death of a family member was a grief that kept on feeling the lungs with toxic air. Then the tables took yet another flip, that began to shake her world up once again. Atlas took a smaller step back as she frowned. She had had the same theory. It seemed to cleaned up. Way to set up for anything to be true. "So, you are saying. That I might not be crazy to think that? I don't know how i feel most, reliefed or terrified."

Atlas took a sharper breath in and collected her thoughts. "If he thinks someone killed her, he would have to suspect a vampire. Right?" She was just lashing out thoughts at this point. Her conversation with Caine made her rethink everything she knew. "You know doctor Rothwell, the demon who sometimes assist in biology? He did a bloodtest on me.." Atlas scratched her neck a bit. "I'm a hybrid, half pureblood wolf.. half vamp," Caine had told her not to tell anyone. Lay low and keep it to herself. But Dean was family. She could trust him with this, right? "Cai- mr. Rothwell told me I could be dangerous to speak about."

The thought of his father made him look up to Heaven for a moment, and although he knew that he most likely wasn’t residing there, he still seemed to sense his spirit from time to time. It had become a habit of his, seeing his loved ones in his dreams and imagining them whenever he needed to keep the faith. He looked back at her as she revealed of having thought the same. “Yeah, I know how it sounds, but I heard him talk about it… they’d had this feud with a vampire clan for centuries and he seemed pretty convinced that they were behind it,” he said, trying to remind himself back on it. His father had told him that they'd killed members of the pack in the past, but Dean knew that the pack had killed members of the clan as well. It was a never ending circle. Atlas had every right to be terrified because if it was the truth, then they’d meant for her to be dead as well. He didn’t know if his father had managed to find the culprit, but he’d surely talked about it, wanting to avenge his sister’s death. He moved his gaze to her as she revealed she was a hybrid between a werewolf and a vampire, wondering if that had anything to do with the fire. “Did he say why?” he asked, wondering if he’d said it because he knew something in regards to her family or the fire.

A clan of vampires. She knew a few, and she was somewhat close to one of them. Clementine was a leader of one, Atlas had met her at a party few weeks back. Thanks to that vampire, she was now aware of her vampire part. "Do you remember if he called it by name?" She asked. Atlas had tried so hard not to think to heavily about her family's death. However, now that her cousin was here confirming to her that it might not have been an accident. Atlas took a deeper breath in and tried to contain herself. "Because why else would I not have known about it till I tasted blood for the first time," she shook her head a little, as her mind kept wondering around. "I mean, if she had told me. She wouldn't have taken me back to visit you and your father. The pack. It would have been to dangerous if they found out," she used her knowledge about vampires and werewolves to theorize that. Atlas had never had any chance at an actual pack. "No one talks about my parents or my brother and sister. I've been told not to, if that doesn't scream as a warning. I don't know what does," she took another sharp breath in and looked up at the sky. "I just don't understand, who would murder an entire family.. just like that. Who would do anything so monstrous?"
