Description It was moments like these where Nina contimplated whether or not she really was dead or alive. No flesh or blood but she swore she felt her heart hammering away in her chest as stood outside the dance studio waiting. She thought back to a month ago, where everything lead to that exact moment. The teacher was pulling names at random from the worn hat they always wore. Slowly but surely the students present were being partnered off. Many were happy with the arangments, others were indifferent, meanwhile Nina was dreading her inevitable doom. She was partnered up with Azrael Rosso, a manster she had never spoken to before. He was tall and brooding and she never saw him smile, not even once. Transfering to the school only a semester before her, he already built himself a bad rep, one Nina did not want to get involved in.

However, she tried to look on the bright side of things. She could at least smile through it, or try to. That was until they all heard the little catch for this final exam. You had to before a duet on your performance day, but in the month of preparation you were not allowed to practice with your partner AT ALL. Nina had been freaking out about the whole ordeal ever since despite her and her partner choosing a ballet duet that favored eachother strengths. She hadn't spoken to Azrael once before that day and even in the month of prepation they still rarely spoke. It would have been fine if the duet was calm with out much craziness, but during the limited conversations she did learn that Azrael did not settle for anything but perfect and amazing. THe whole duet ended with her leaping into the air for him to catch her and she honestly didn't know how to feel about it. Yes it would be beautiful but could she even trust him...

Nina practiced day and night, even calling her brother up to help her practice. He even promised to try and sneak in watch the performance...yay. So there she was, waiting and waiting, standing awkwardly beside Azrael who remained tall and brooding. She had also never seen his eyes before, always hidden behind a mask. Nina was starting to wonder if he even had eyes. Well of course he had to have them, she could feel them staring down at her in judgment...maybe confusion...is that worry she feels. She was about to ask why he was staring when she realized almost all her bones were rattling because she was so nervous.

"Sorry," Nina quickly muttered, "That happens when I'm nervous."

"No reason to be," Azrael said, " Just trust me."

She was about to ask how could she when their teacher called their names. She took a deep breath, tried to hold her head high and followed in behind Azrael who walked in so confidently. They got into their starting possitions, waiting for the music and before she knew it she was standing across the studio, preparing to take a few steps forward before leaping into the air. How Nina got to that point she didn't know cause it all was a blur, just relying on pure insinct and muscle memory. So far they hadn't messed up, at least she didn't think so, and despite her half second hesitation, Nina ran forward with confidence and her feet left the air. She shut her eyes, preparing for her to crash, bones scattering across the dance floor when her momentum came to a stop, warm hands and chest embracing her. Azrael caughter her, leaning back to ease her sudden stop. One of he hands wrapped down and around his head, craddling it, for her to see a small smile beaming up at her. 

"I got you," he whispered, "I got you."

She heard clapping in the distance and for a moment she forgot all about the final as she looked down to his masked faced. For just a moment it felt real, as though they were on a real stage with a crowd standing ovation, something that only ever happened in her dreams. The figment of her imagination was shattered when he gently set her down, helping her to standing. The turned and saw their teacher standing and clapping. They even looked like they were about to cry. Nina couldn't help but smile as they both bowed in unison. Their teacher rushed to their sides, beaming at how amazing their performance was. They even started to act out the different parts, making Nina laugh and smile even brighter. Once the shower of praises was done, Nina turned to talk to Azrael and thank him, but all she saw was the swish of his red cloak as it went out the door. She ran to see if she could catch him, surprised to that he was completely gone without a trace. She frowned, wondering where he could have gone

--------------------------------------------

Sooooo while taking a quick break from freaking about about midterms, I decided to draw, write a bit, and you know make a whole new character!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I recently re-read some of Edgar Allen Poe's works and was hella inspired. The Masque of the Red Death especially caught my eye. 

The depicted above is the son of the Red Death, named Azrael Rosso. He was originally gonna be an EAH oc, but I was like nah. I already got one tall brooding death character there, I need to spread them around. Anyway, I decided that he originally attended EAH but only for half a semester or so before it was very quickly decided that it was not safe for the other students and teachers after one bad encounter with his room mate. For thought of who haven't read this short story, basically the main character is killed when Red Death turns and smiles/smirks at them. Azrael has this ability as well, so if he were to smile/smirk at someone, monster or human, that was alive they woudl immediatly start to experience a very painful death. He can also vanish from thin air. At MH he's bit of a loner, but it doesn't bother him much. Sure he would like some friends but he understands that he literally can't unless they are already dead. Really the one and only thing he has is dancing, which is how he meets his first real friend, Nina.

Lowkey considering making them something more cause Nina needs more love in this world

Anyway thats it! Its nice to get back into the swing of MH. Speaking of which, I will define more closely where all my monster lie in the MH/Monster Universe and whether or not they are still considered MH ocs here soon cause its confusing to me so I bet it is confusing for you all! (BTW These two are def MH ocs)

Buy me a Kofi maybe
