Griffin looked up at the school and took a breath. Unlike her brother who bravely went in the building, she was afraid and hung back like it was a monster. She and her twin were taken here by bus because their parents were afraid of them and what they could do. Finally gathering up the bit of courage she had left, she hurried into the school. The halls were just like the surroundings, dark, and bleak. She went over to a lady behind a desk. "Excuse me? Is this were I get my dorm key?" she asked in barely over a whisper. She lady looked up from a newspaper she was reading and glared at Griffin before passing her a dorm key with a number and a map. Griffin thanked the lady and opened her map before making her way towards the dorms.

Blake looked around the bleak halls and sighed. He had never been one for maps seeing as they burned up easily. Now he was pretty much "up the creek without a paddle" as some would say. He would just say he was lost among the many winding halls and open rooms. Blake sighed and decided to try and retrace his steps. After half an hour he had managed to get more lost then before. Finally giving up he leaned against the wall and looked at the key given to him. No doubt they fire proofed the room with some stinky spray. He wrinkled his nose at the thought and sighed heavily. He hated this place and just wanted to go home. He didn't even remember what "home" looked like anymore. Blake sighed again before looking around. He hadn't noticed before but it seemed like there was a courtyard to his left. He opened the door and walked out. Other then the freakish powers kids had and the high security, this place was almost like a high school. Blake sat down and looked up at the sky. Maybe he could learn to like it? Most likely not though.

Hazel stepped onto the campus. She could "see" many people about, and there was a lot of magical energy as well. She hadn't seen this much before. Standing there, she saw most people heading a certain direction, and looking closer she could sense the outlines of a building before her. She went towards what she guessed was the entrance, due to people heading in, and she followed. To her the people were a blur of heat energy, tinted with their auras. She sighed. If only she could see what they actually looked like. People were heading to a desk where a person seemed to be handing them things. She walked up to the desk timidly. "Hello? Umm, am I supposed to get something here?"
She saw the person move her hands, passing two objects whose kinetic energies revealed their shape, before they came to a stop. Placing her hands were they were, she felt for them and picked them up. She was right in thinking the first was a piece of paper, and the other seemed to be a key. Perhaps the first was a map? And the key probably had a number or something on it. She walked off to the side and leaned against the wall. Holding the key in front of her, her eyebrows furrowed and her eyelids shut as she concentrated on it, attempting to tell apart the light energies emitting from it, in order to read it.

Rose: I wandered back toward my dorm room to drop off my books. I grabbed a hoodie, slipping it on and smoothing out my hair. Perfect. I kept my door open, people often popped their head round to say hi or come in for a chat or to borrow something. I don't usually mind, it's nice to get talking to people, meet new people. I curled up on my bed with my home work, making my way through it before heading down to dinner.

Leo: I headed out to the school grounds. I was often alone, even though people did hang round me at times. I would sometimes be with Rose. She was like someone i could rely on, and be there for, like a cousin. Well, she is my cousin, and i'll look out for her too. Anyway she will be busy now, and i want some time outside, so i will see her later.

Aiden got off a bus in front of Freesia. He noticed there was a lot of security around but other than that you couldn't tell it from another school. He was frustrated at the circumstances though, recalling how his mother basically kicked him out be he was a "freak", he didn't care though he was optimistic about this new school. Aiden proceeded onto campus and into the school, he walked over to a lady in the desk, gave his name and asked for his dorm number and key, the woman looked at him for a few minutes rather oddly for some reason but gave him his things.

Blake looked up at the grey sky and sighed. It was very dreary no matter how he looked at it. He wished he was somewhere else doing something else but his powers prohibited him from being normal. Blake sat up and concentrated before a small fire started in his palm. It didn't hurt which he found fascinating for some strange reason. No one was around which was good because no one would get hurt. Blake sighed and looked around the courtyard. It wasn't any better then inside but it was starting to drizzle and he didn't want to get wet. Blake retreated to the relative safety of the building and proceeded to try and find his way out of this maze. His work was rewarded when he found the entrance with the mean glaring lady. It wasn't much of a reward but it would do for the moment. He looked around and saw another person. He walked over and paused in front of the boy. "Can you lead me to the dorms? I lost my map." he said with a smile. Maybe he could make a friend while he was here.

Finally Griffin found the dorms and paused at her room number designated by the key. She was told she would have a room mate but they didn't give a name. Griffin opened the door and peeked in, half expecting to see someone but no one was inside yet. The walls were blank and everything seemed just as dull as the building. Griffin put her bag on the floor by one bed and sighed. Sometimes she wished she could become a bird and fly away. At least if that happened she wouldn't have to worry about her powers. They might actually come in handy if she were a bird. Griffin shook those thoughts out of her mind they wouldn't get her anywhere any how. Instead she started unpacking her things. It made her hands useful instead of twiddling around all day.

Hazel was too distracted to read the key. The unfamiliar settings had really unnerved her. Giving up, he decided to ask for help, but the lady at the desk looked busy. She looked around. There where many people around; who should she ask? They all looked similar to her, and she was overwhelmed by the amount of energy around her. What was she to do? She didn't know what she was supposed to do, and she couldn't even ask for help. She was still so useless and pathetic. She felt a tear trickle down her cheek and she ran, shutting out her energy sense. In a few steps however, she tripped over Aiden, and landed face-first, sprawled on the ground.

Blake was surprised when a girl he had never met tripped over the person he had started talking to. He reached to help her up but pulled back, afraid he might burn her. It wouldn't have been the first time he burned someone without meaning to. He didn't want to look mean but if he burned her it would make the situation worse. "Are you ok?" he asked, crouching next to her. He would at least let them know he cared about the situation.

Alice sat within her room, it was dark and had only one shred of light entering the room. She had slept in and knew she should get up and out.
She argued with herself as she throw back her covers . She quickly changed into a pair of jeans and a deep green strappy top and a brown hoodie. She pulled her feet into massive boots.
She shook her hair out and inspected herself in the mirror. She gave up in fixing her hair and yanked open her curtains, the light pooled into her room and she breathed in deeply, a grin spreading across her face.

"Right Food" She thought as she pulled her door open, grabbing her keys. She left the room and locked the door. Alice was very particular about who was in her room.

She walked down the corridor and through some doors out into the courtyard, the smell of freshly cut grass hit her senses and she reveled in the smell.

She wandered towards the cafeteria and saw a group of people by the front door of the school, she sighed their appearance and luggage highlighting them as newbies.

She jogged up to them "Hiya You guys alright?" She noticed the young girl on the floor and the young boy trying to help her, he had moved his hands close to his body, trying hard not touch her. Alice frowned slightly and crouched also. "You Okay? Do you want my hand?" Alice placed her hand on top of the young girls, trying not to scare her, she knew how scary this all could be.

Aiden was startled by how sudden the scene unfolded after the other boy asked the question that he didn't have time to answer, while everyone tried to help the girl up he noticed the other boy tried pretty hard to keep his hands to himself but he shrugged the thought off. Aiden also tried to help the girl get back up "You okay?" Aiden looked at the other two with him "Maybe we should get her to her dorm room and to answer your earlier question, I have no idea where the dorms are" Aiden grinned, trying to lighten up the mood.

10-19-2013, 03:33 PM
Blake nodded and smiled. "Maybe that's the best idea." He replied. "Do you know what your dorm number is?" He asked the girl after Aiden helped her up. He wasn't sure what else to say because he had said what he thought was necessary. He thought he saw something different about her but he couldn't put his finger on it. He shook the idea out of his head and was a bit startled when he realized someone had offered to her help. He watched them help the girl and wished he had control of his powers so he could touch people as casually as they did. He sighed and stood up. "What happened exactly?" He asked.

"Good bye Thea!!!" Her little brother yelled waving his arms out the car window until mom pulled him back in and blew Thea a kiss. she spent whenever she could, at home so no one missed her too much.
"Bye guys!" Thea blew a kiss back, threw her bag onto her shoulders, and started jogging towards the dorms. It seemed like it was starting to rain.
By the time she got inside her hair was matted and shirt stuck lightly to her arms. Dropping her bags, holding her hair back, Thea leaned over the front counter. "Excuse me Ma'am, my bags came ahead of me can I please have my key back." The secretary nodded, rolled her eyes, and without looking up placed a key in Thea's hand. "Thank you and I'm sorry for dripping on our desk." Started down the east corridor snakeing past a clump of people, and apologized for dripping on anyone.
She had the last room on the third floor so she had to walk to the end stair case. Waved to Rose alot, might as well, I see her around and unlocked her door. "Anyone here?" there were two beds, second one still made... but she didnt know if her roommate was there yet, the girl was invisible sometimes.Thea was happy, however, to see her luggage by the far window so she closed the door, shook out her hair, and changed and plopped down for a nap.

Leo: I stayed quiet, staying close to the group. I watched them all gush round a little girl. This had to be the highest number of people that have been round me at any one time. Ah well, he'll get used to it eventually. I stayed quiet, watching them, if they wanted to talk to me, they will do

Rose: I waved at the girl, she seems nice. New people must be arriving today, of course. I am supposed to be helping them out! I put my things away, locking my door and headed for the stairs, where i was told to wait for the new students to show round and be like their tour guide and make sure they settle in here at Freesia High.

After while, Thea woke up to see the sun setting and a post it note on the pillow. She turned to her neighboring bed to see another girl snoozing quietly, the note read simply: I missed you at practice, Reed . Thea smiled and gently upzipped her luggage hanging up her new clothes in the closet and drawers as quietly as possible. Then wrote a note saying "Down at dinner, Sue.", stuck it to her roommates forehead, pulled the jacket she left behind in the dorms off her desk chair and made her way back down for a late dinner. Hopefully the halls were more orderly now...Move in day is hectic.

Hazel felt a cold hand on top of hers. She shakily got up on her knees. So many people around her. The energy information began to rush in once more, "blinding" her. She clutched the sides of her head. Slowly, she adjusted to the energy levels. As Aiden helped her up, she held onto his hand, and wiped her face with her other arm. There seemed to be three people around her, One asked what her dorm room number was.
"I'm! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to run into you!" She cringed while taking a step back.
"I don't know what my room number is. Isn't it on my key? Can you read it for me?" She searched her pocket for it, but she found nothing. "Gahh! I must have dropped it!" She dropped down to her knees and felt around for it.

Blake saw a glimmer and picked up a key. "Is this it?" He asked, putting it in her hand carefully. He then quickly pulled his hand away and put them behind his back. He could feel the heat of a small flame and prayed for it to go out. He sighed in relief when it eventually did and hoped no one saw. "I'm going to find my dorm now. He said before walking away from the group. He didn't want to stay around them anymore for fear that he would combust into flames. Blake liked being around people but the thought of hurting them made him afraid to get close. He picked up his bag and walked through the halls till he eventually found his dorm. There was the familiar stench of flame proofing and an extra bed. He. Wished not to have a room mate but he probably would anyway. He sighed and sat on his bed for a bit, trying to concentrate on making a flame and putting it out.

A couple people were still fussing in the lobby, best not to butt in and overwhelm anyone. Thea squeezed near the wall and tried to sneak past. As she passes she suddenly noticed Leo and nodded to him thinking 'seen him around, didn't talk much'. "hey, sorry I have to get so close to ya." Thea whispered to the boy leaning silently against the wall as she tiptoed past.

Alice watched as the younger girl gathered herself back up clinging on to another young guy. She smiled slightly. Before she could say anything one of the young guys gushed something about having to leave and he ran off. A bit startled, Alice watched him go. "Hmm Odd" she thought."
She turned around to the rest of the small group . Took a deep breathe " Hiya Guys I'm Alice, I've been here a year already so I can maybe a bit of a help" She smiled widely.

She watched the young girl clutching to her key and noticed something off about her. She brushed it off and stood waiting for the group " Want me to show you guys were you'll be sleeping for the next year." Wind blew her hair up and made it messier than before, she tried to straighten it with her hands to no avail.

"Well..." She said to them softly.

Aiden watched as Blake went off so suddenly then quickly shifted his attention back to the other girls with him "My name's Aiden" he smiled a bit, "and yea thanks for the help" he looked at the other girl's dorm key "Your room number is 204, do you want us to help you to your room?". Aiden wondered if she was possible blind but didn't want to be rude.

10-19-2013, 06:53 PM
Hazel looked towards the girl who offered to show them to the dorms, before Aiden offered to help as well. She didn't really want to be a bother but she decided she'd have to accept their offer. She nervously replied, "Umm.. It would be nice if you could help me to my room. I can't exactly see... normally at least. I'm Hazel."
Hazel walked to Alice and put her hand on Alice's arm. It was much easier to read a person aura when in contact, and it made it easier to recognize it later. It was hard to recognize an aura she had only seen.

Thea looked at her watch, its okay that a boy would be walking the girls' side at this hour. She shrugged. and continued to the dining hall. Peeking in saw an empty table right past the boys' fencing team ,by a wall and claimed it quickly with her jacket. "hey guys!" after a rowdy hello, she went to get a tray and some chow.
She sat down with a tray full of everything that looked edible and leaned back against the cool stone wall. thinking back on the scene she just passed. She wanted to recall every detail of the new people. Having a photographic memory takes practice to perfect.Especially keep an eye out for the small girl, it looked like she might explode from nervousness any moment. and that one boy...he smelled like smoke, Thea tried to read the key he had in his hand... ever since that kid on the swim team got suspended last quarter when he boiled the pool because he lost at the finals, it was hilarious mind you, Thea keeps an eye out for people whose powers contradict thier interests and personalities, for fun of course. but that one guy with cuts on his face...too bad he's shorter than me...sigh..he probably would think I'm a guy anyways...Thea shrugged and continued reconstructing everything she saw the day.

Blake finally stopped making the flicker appear in his palm and got up. It was probably dinner time now but they probably didn't have very good food. He sighed heavily before starting for where he guessed the dining room was. Soon he found a room with a long table and some kids who were already there. He hadn't seen any of them in the lobby so he wasn't sure if they were new like him or had been around the block a time or two. Blake shrugged and looked around for a seat. He spotted his sister and decided it was best to sit by her since she knew what to do if he combusted into flames.

Griffin had finished setting up her stuff and was starting to get hungry. She opened the map she had left on the desk and traced her finger along the marked halls before she reached the dining room. She put the map in her bag before getting up. After a moment she was walking down the hall she had looked over on the map. She was good at memorizing so she didn't really need the map anymore. She found the dining room and sat down at the far end. Not long after she got there she saw her brother walk in and sit next to her. His hair was messy even though he brushed it that morning and she sighed before fixing it back into it's original style. She then looked around at the people who were there already and decided to guess what power they had depending on how they acted.

10-19-2013, 10:26 PM
Alice smiled and jumped slightly as the girl put her hand on her arm. She moved her arm as if she was leading her.
"Okay, well I can show both to your dorms. Then if you guys want, we can head on down to the cafeteria for so grub."
She grinned and grabbed Hazels bag, gesturing towards Aiden to follow her.

Alice lead them across the courtyard and towards a stair case. "So tell me guys, you entirely new or are you coming to us from our younger school?" She glanced at them as she held the door open for Hazel "We're going to be heading up some stairs soon Hazel." Alice tells Hazel when each step is and when they stop until they reach their floor.

"Right What are your numbers?" She turns still holding on to Hazels hand, She looks at them both with a warm smile.
She knows there's a chance they might have roommates, or they might have asked to be alone like her.

As Aiden walked with Alice and Hazel he looked around at the people in the school wondering who had powers, what the powers were, and wondering why all of the "special" students have been rounded up here.

Aiden turned his attention towards Alice "I'm completely new here, I was originally being 'studied' by a group of people trying to figure out how to properly utilize my powers and after awhile they suggested to my mom that I come here" Aiden smiled, he was kind of glad that he's finally out of his house and away from the people who were afraid of him.

As they finally got up the stairs Aiden checks what his number is "My room number is 114, I wonder if I'm going to have a roommate.." Aiden was curious to who his roommate could be, he hoped it would be someone easy to get along with or else there could be potential trouble with Aiden controlling his powers.

Rose: i ran to the large gathering group. "Hey everyone, I'm Rose, third year student, and here to help anyone who needs me. I am awaiting a room mate this year, i am in room 212." I saw Leo stood close by, i grabbed his arm. "This is Leo, my lovely cousin, I'm sure he will be happy to help you out too. Come on, crack a smile, Leo." I hugged him, keeping him close to me.

Leo: I waved to the new crowd, staying close to Rose. She's my only friend round here, the only one who has managed to get through to me here at this place. I doubt one of these lot will do too, but you never know. Oh well.

"I'm entirely new... I actually haven't been to a school for about seven years..." Hazel held on to Alice's hand. On the way, she could see many people, most with some sort of magical energy around them. Perhaps with time she might learn to decipher their powers through that energy? Well she was pathetic anyways. What use was seeing energy when you could only barely see the stairs? If Alice hadn't been guiding her, she'd have already tripped on them so many times. She was just a burden on other people. Like her parents. That's why they sent her here, isn't it? She wiped a tear away with the hand she was not holding onto Alice with, hoping that they wouldn't see.
After Alice asked for her room number, she replied, "It's.. umm.. 204! That's what I was told."

Aiden grinned, he thought it was funny how many friendly people he's been meeting in less than an hour "Hey Rose, Leo, my name's Aiden, nice to meet you." He noted how friendly Rose was and how distant Leo was and thought to himself "Complete opposites.. haha".

10-19-2013, 11:28 PM
As they walked both told her a little about their background, Alice was shocked at Aidens background however didn't say anything. She didn't want to cross any lines, Hazel however hadn't been to a school in 7 years! ' Wow This must be so new for her " Alice thought.
They came to a large oak door with Dorms written across the top in gold, it was old and beginning to peel.
"Okay 114 and 204, If I can remember correctly the 200 numbers are on the left side of the corridor. So you Hazel will be on the left while Aiden you'll be on the right" She smiled to herself proud that she was showing people around.

She pushed the doors open and held them for Hazel and Aiden to enter. As they wandered , they quickly came to Hazels room "Here's 204,right You may or may not have a roommate, So I shall let you get yourself sorted and then you can join me for dinner if you want or you can stay in your room or..." Alice found herself rambling and quickly shut her mouth up, She smiled at them both again . "Do you want me to unlock your door or are you all good?"

She smiled at Aiden "You're room will be further down, I'll show you in a sec no worries." She smiled and glanced at Hazel again.

Rose: "114, i think that's Leo's room." I pushed him forward toward Aiden. Off they went. I still had no room mate, I was promised one this year. I sat on the stairs alone, i have a down side too, and i was rather down right now. I waited for everyone to come back down. I've been lonely for a while, my room mate left half way through my first year, she had to go due to some emergency, but i never heard from her again. I missed her.

Leo: I followed Aiden to our room. This will be fun having a room mate. "Like Rose said, I'm Leo. I can help you if you need me at all." i sat on my bed while waiting for him to sort his things out. It sure will be fun this year, with a room mate, means Rose can't use the spare bed when she gets lonely. She sure isn't using mine.

"I'm fine... I'll join you for dinner." Hazel let go of Alice's arm, and took her keys from her pocket. She could see the coldness of the door handle, and when she held it, it was indeed cold. With her other hand she put in the key, and unlocked it. Turning the handle, she peeked in. She could barely see anything. There were many objects that were slightly warm, so she assumed someone had recently put them there. That meant she had a roommate. She went to the side of the room without her roommate's stuff, and walked with her hands in front of her until she felt her bed.
She remembered that Alice had her bag. "Could I get my bag back? Also, what color is the room?"

Aiden looked at Alice, "I'll just go with Leo and catch up with you guys later" he said goodbye to the others and walked to his room with Leo, once they got in he started sorting his stuff around.

"So is it just going to be us in here or are we getting a third person?" Aiden chimed trying to making conversation.

10-20-2013, 12:07 AM
Alice smiled at Hazel and waved to Aiden and Leo as they wandered away. She handed Hazel her bag and popped her head around her door." Its like a deep blue" Alice smiled " Kinda like the deep sea" Alice smiled to herself. " I'm gonna go see Rose I'll just be down the hall Yell if you need me ."
She walked away from the door leaving Hazel to sort herself, she didn't want to crowd the girl .
She saw Rose at the end of the Corridor. " Hiya Rose, remember me We had History last semester together." She smiled at Rose and fiddled with her hands shyly.

Rose: "Hey Alice, of course i remember you." I sighed. "Sorry, just a little down, anyway, what seems to be the matter?" i looked up at her. She was a nice girl, and always did very well in everything. I stood up, "I guess we should all be heading for dinner soon, but they will all want time to settle in too." I smiled at her, waiting round.

Leo: "Well, if you want Rose in here, we can have a third. She used to stay here when she felt lonely." She's like a sister to me, even though she is my cousin. "Warning, she is a pain up the butt, though loved by all." I rarely smiled, but she was the only one who gave me a reason to smile usually.

10-20-2013, 12:21 AM
Alice smiled "Nothing wrong, just was wondering how you've been?" She glanced at the small girl sitting on the steps "Yeah perhaps we should all go down to dinner as a group, It might help the new ones get used to the building"
She sat down beside the girl , smiled at her and stared out across the courtyard.

Griffin decided to take some food to the room since it was to crowded. She took two meals just in case she had a hungry room mate. She held the food carefully and walked down the hall towards her room. Blake would have to deal without her for a bit. Griffin was at her room sooner than she expected and saw the door open. She was sure she had left it closed when she left. Maybe this meant she had a room mate. She peeked in and sure enough a girl was fumbling with a bag. "Hi. I presume your my room mate." she said as she went in.

Meanwhile Blake sat at the dinner table feeling a bit uncomfortable. He wished Griffin had stayed but sometimes things don't work out. He saw others come into the dining hall and sighed. He wondered if he would ever learn to control his powers. In kindergarten he accidentally set some letter blocks on fire. It always worked out the same way. He burned something on accident they sent him to a room by himself to "cool down" as they put it. He wasn't even angry when he set stuff on fire. Blake realized a fire had sparked on his palm and quickly put it out. "Get ahold of yourself." he thought.

Aiden finally got all of his stuff sorted and layed on his bed "I don't really care, it just seemed like there were others in here besides me and you but I guess your friend Rose being in here explains it"

Aiden looked at Leo "he seems cool enough to get along with, I wonder if he has any powers"

Aiden's stomach growled, "Wanna get something to eat?"

Thea opened her eyes and started picking at her salad and scanning the room absent mindedly. Sighing Thea shoveled pasta and drank some cranberry juice and feeling the start of a headache rose and started back. A small boy zoomed by just as she dumped the try and sent the a over a chair landing face up, legs up on the chair, right next to two blond kids sitting quietly together.
Rubbing her head Thea got up and sat in the chair, hunched over,head in her hands. "Hi. Sorry. I will sit for a bit and leave you alone." Thea looked up and saw the boy who smelled like smoke and her eyes widened." Hey! I've seen you before.Do you mind if I join you here a few minutes?" (I was referring to Blake)

Hazel looked up. A person had just come into the room. "Um.. Hi! Yes! I must be your roommate. I'm Hazel." She put her bag beside her on her bed upon which she was sitting. "What's your name?" So this was the person she'd be staying with. She smiled nervously. She didn't want to give a bad impression. She also hoped that she wouldn't be a bother.

Blake was surprised when the girl came from somewhere and asked to join him. "No I don't mind." he said after a moment. It was strange to be approached in such a manner but he didn't let it bother him. He could try making friends with this person.

Griffin smiled at the girl and nodded. "Hi Hazel, i'm Griffin. It's a pleasure to meet you." she said before looking over at the food she brought. "Hungry? I brought some food just in case." She looked at the girl and took note of how she seemed to fumble with the things she had as if she couldn't see very well. Griffin wanted to ask but was afraid to offend her new roommate. She didn't want to get on anyone's bad side.

Blake thought for a moment. "I am new to the school but not to the system and I don't play any sports unless you include Frisbee." he replied. It wasn't much but it was true. He never found the time to play sports and all the Freesia schools he went to didn't have any sport programs. He wanted to learn how to play sports but he decided not to voice the opinion. He took time to peer around at everyone around the table while waiting for the next inevitable onslaught of questions.

"Oh, food? Thanks! I am hungry. What is it?" She went to sniff the air before remembering that she could not smell. She sighed. She wondered if they had a desk or table. She hadn't gotten a chance to explore the room. Well her roommate seemed nice. That was a good thing. "Could you tell me what's around the room?"

Griffin opened the containers that held the food before answering. "They had some Chinese food so I hope you don't mind I got some of that. It's my weakness." she said with a small laugh. "There is also some chicken and mashed potatoes." she finished. She split the food in half before passing one container to Hazel and sitting on her bed to eat her food. "The room is pretty dull but I put up a few posters. I think they arranged it like one of those hotel rooms that have two beds. It's without tv though." she replied to Hazel's second question. Hazel was nice and Griffin had a feeling they would become close friends. Not only that the food was better then she expected.

"Oh cool" Thea paused."Am I bothering you? or are you looking for someone?" She'd been going here for a year and never seen him...wasn't there another kid like him, a girl here earlier?...Thea decided no to pry. Scanning his face she decided it was worthwhile to give this guy space. Something was ticking off in his head...Maybe he was guarded against someone..."I'm sorry, but ..I never got your name?"

Rose: "Let's get going, they will either be down or on their way. Plus i'm starving, and i want to get the best batch on chinese food tonight." I got up, waiting for Alice to join me. "So anyway, how has your summer been? You get up to much?" I smiled softly at her.

Leo: "Rose is my cousin, and she is the only other one to be in here whilst i've been here." That was true. "Food sounds good, chinese tonight." I headed for the door, waiting for Aiden to come out. I'd have to find Rose, she hates it when i sit alone, so i sit with her.

"My name is Blake and your fine." he replied before getting up to get some food. He sat back down after completing that task and yawned. The food was better then the other places he had been and he took a bite of the food he had gotten. "How long have you been here?" he asked Thea after a moment. He wanted to know about other people so he could try and get along with the people at the school.

"oh good" Thea breathed a sigh of relief." Well I've been here a year now, almost done with regular classes, so playing sports and training my powers take up most of my time here now." watching Blake eat she wanted some more too."excuse me". she went and got more tofu and rice."sorry, you got me hungry. Yeah, so howdo you and your sister feel about Freesia? I've been in the junior high and it sucked in comparison to here... sorry,do you and any more questions you got for me? " Thea started eating to keep her mouth from running a mile a minute.

Blake thought about the questions for a moment before answering. "I don't like Freesia very much because it feels like a cage and they don't tell us why we are being kept in the system. I'm not sure about my sister's opinion." he replied before finishing the food he had gotten. He went back to get some dessert before sitting down again. "Do you have any relatives at this school?" he asked before taking a bite of the food he had.

Alice smiled at Rose and got up as well." Its Chinese tonight awesome." Her stomach rumbled softly, she got up and started down the stairs after Rose.
"My Summer was good, spent most of it here. Just working in the school. Got no where else to go, y'know." She looked down and then glanced at Rose " How bout you , how was your summer?"
They continued down the stairs and headed towards the cafeterias doors.

Sighing Thea slowed her food inhalation. "Nope. My roommate is my first and best friend. I have a little brother on the outside, He's regular...so far." Thea smiled finishing her plate." He turned 13 yesterday so I saw him before coming back here. I feel better here than I did being out there where you're caged in and because they are afraid of you or want to use you for...that power." Thea coughed, shook her head, and forced a smile."Sorry to get down like that. No one ever asked why we're here," no one she knew or trusted to be sane at least, some kids lost it being stuck here after a few years but she didn't want to mention anyone she knew, " I just thought they let us out into the", putting comedic emphasis and an expanding hand motion"WOOOOORLD. Or something when we have perfect control and finish all our regular kids classes."
NO one is complaining that she's still there anyways. Had not friends on the outside....

"Thanks! I'm not very picky at all with food. I do like foods that are firm and soft and a bit chewy though." Hazel began to eat. She could sort of see the food as it was still warm. She did like it's texture. She moved her head as if she were looking around but she couldn't see much. She could tell that the room wasn't too large though. "I don't really mind the lack of a TV. They're bright. So, are you new here too? Do you know what it's like here?"

Leo: I walked quietly down the corridor, then down the stairs, then along toward the dining room. "Rose, are you ready to go to dinner?" I asked, i saw the girl with her, giving her a quick smile before turning back to Rose.

Rose: "Mine was okay thanks, mostly been working and practicing with my powers." I smiled softly then turned to Leo. "Yeah sure, let's go guys." I smiled as we walked into the canteen, i filled up my plate with sweet and sour pork, egg friend rice and prawn crackers. I grabbed a cherry cola and then headed to the rest of the group. "Hey everyone." I smiled as i sat down.

Leo: I got the same as rose, it was my favourite chinese meal, so of course i was going to have it. I followed her to the table and sat in the seat beside her, tucking straight into my food.

Aiden sat down with the others looking at his food and started to eat, he noticed the guy who ran off earlier when he and Alice were helping Hazel, sitting across the room with another girl, "I think his name is Blake". He gestured them towards his table so everyone could get to know each other. "Hey! Blake! Come over here with your friend!" Aiden yelled across the cafeteria drawing attention and a few glares.

Griffin thought for a moment. "Yes, i'm new like you are. I don't know much about how it's like in this school but if it's anything like middle school they won't let you go home." she replied. Middle school wasn't bad actually. The teachers were nice and had powers like them but not going home seemed a bit extreme. Were they doing it because they thought that we were monsters? This was a question that would require some thought but she shook her head. She would think about it tonight. Griffin finished her food and threw the trash in a small trash bin. "Want some help setting up? It doesn't seem like you can see very well." she offered. Hopefully her words wouldn't offend her room mate.

Blake looked towards who called for him and saw the boy from earlier. "Come on Thea." he said before getting up and going to sit near the boy. He wasn't used to people asking him to sit near them. Since elementary school the only person who would sit close to him was his sister. "Hey." he said before setting his food down and taking a seat. He wanted to make friends this time around and if that meant hiding his power then so be it. This might be a problem during the special classes but he would hide it as long as possible. He would have said something else but the intercom system came on. It was the voice of a lady who sounded sophisticated. "Hello boys and girls. After dinner there will be a half an hour of free time. When that is over please bed down for the night. Classes start promptly at eight tomorrow. Thank you very much and enjoy your stay." The intercom system then went silent. Blake sighed and thought for a moment. It had sounded like a prison warden telling prisoners when and what they can do.

Alice followed the group down to the cafeteria and grabbed a plate of food and heaped it high with noodles. She smiled at the rest of the group and sat down near Rose and Leo. She glanced around the room and spotted some people from last year's classes. She was grinning and stuffing her mouth with food when the intercom went. She heard herself groan out loud and shoot an angry look at the speaker. "Only half n hour, what the ... Darn teachers." She said out loud to the group, she glanced at the few from previous years and saw their annoyance as well.

After the announcement from the intercom Aiden started dreading tomorrow, he forgot that this was still a 'school' and that he'll have to do homework, classwork, listen to teachers, and pay attention to stuff he couldn't care less about. Then he started wondering what classes the school even has, or why it would even matter. He looked at the others "I wonder if any of us will have classes together."

Neutrally Chaotic
10-20-2013, 09:46 PM
Blake shrugged. "It's not impossible. If we are in the same year we most likely will have at least one class together." he replied before finishing the desert. He wished that he didn't have to take classes because of his power. What if he got called up and was told to show the class his power. Blake got up and took his trash to the garbage while thinking about all the possibilities. He dreaded the next day and wished it wouldn't come. He sighed and shook his head before sitting back down. Wishing wasn't going to get him anywhere except nowhere.

Thea got up and took small steps over to the next table. Being tall can be a hassle. She sat down to listen to the intercom and sighed."Only a hour hour this time...? I wonder what the staff got planned for the morning..." First thing Thea saw Leo and swallowed, cautiously saying "hello Leo"Leo intimidated her with his unfamiliarity... Then,turning to the other boy she leaned over holding her hand out. She had seen this one in the hall, the one almost her height(Aiden)."Hello, I'm Thea. You're new here right?"she smiled wide, "I'm sorry this school sucks so far, I hope you enjoy your special food today. And this place has its good parts, sometimes." She liked his face , he looked like a fighter, she admired tough guys having frequently been mistaken for one, but feeling her canines sharpen quickly closed her mouth." Who are you?"

Aiden shook Thea's hand "Hey, my name's Aiden, the school isn't so bad I suppose, the people seem pretty friendly." Aiden started looking around the table and noticed the large group that had been made, I wonder what their powers are Aiden was curious but he knew very well how touchy a subject it can be to talk about your powers so he decided not to ask anyone at the table, there's supposed to be special classes for them anyways so maybe he would just find out then.

10-20-2013, 10:33 PM
"So, Aiden, Ive been here for a year, I would say you can feel free to ask me questions anytime but I think you already have guidance." Thea glanced quickly at Leo and hearing a familiar voice turned to see Alice and Rose. She quickly tried to figuratively shrink herself. Smiling at Aiden again." So are you all settled in?" the headache felt like a sonic reverberation, Thea winced again, rubbing her temple. But she didn't want to leave its hard to make real friends once people know her power, so maybe they will like her and not glare at her when they find out. The teachers were bound to out her for her leg tattoo during practice and control classes... If her frequent migraine from morphing didn't make people suspicious first. Thea dropped a napkin," oops", she reached down took a pill while she was under the table. then sat back up with her chin in her hands smiling at Aiden and Blake.

Blake could tell something was wrong with her. She looked like she was in pain. "Well, that was a good meal." he said before standing up. "Come on Thea! I want to show you something I found." He said before walking towards the door. He motioned for her to follow and went to wait in the hall. If she took the chance she could fix whatever was giving her pain. He hoped she would follow so that she could fix herself and he wanted to show her the courtyard he had found earlier.

Stuttering, half laughing at the suddenness of Blake's behviour, Thea was intrigued, he was being random, that's usually her territory."Okay! Umm, its been a pleasure to meet you Aiden. I'll see you around." She gave her wide smile again and threw on her jacket running lightly after Blake, then when she saw him looking tensely at her in the hall it hit her, that she should have gone to her room. Her problem was obvious, she slowed down and put her hands in her pockets and stared at Blake, or more like his hair and shoulder. Wondering if she should apologize or just follow him silently in her tall awkwardness."Air's good after rain." Ugh herhead was so filled with pictures she could never keep words in her mouth.

"I actually haven't been around this many people since then. I don't have very much stuff though so it wont take long to set it up. Only a bunch of clothes really."

"What's wrong?" he asked while leading her down the halls. Soon they arrived at the courtyard he had found earlier. "I wanted to give you a chance to escape from the crowd. You looked like you were in pain." He said before sitting down on a bench. He wasn't sure if she would be angry or not but he did his best.

Griffin nodded. "That's really awesome." she said with a grin. It seemed like a really cool power to Griffin. "How have you been getting along with it?" she asked, sitting up in bed. She wondered for a moment what her brother was doing but cast it aside. She wasn't involved in her brother's affairs.

Thea sat down beside Blake breathing deeply. letting the cool air calm her. When she opened her eyes Blake was still sitting there. " I get migraines. Thank you for worrying about me. I haven't got many people to talk to. I mean I know alot of people, but its all on the surface." She wanted to be careful what she reveals, in case there's a chance he never had to find out her power.but her memory is okay to reveal. He noticed her, well he didnt run away, good enough, maybe he was good at keeping secrets." I take painkillers because ,first of all, teh air is thinner up by my head."Thea winked, though she was no giant and then frowned slightly," and you're right, it hurts." she tapped her skull" I have two powers and one has me remembering everything I see perfectly, in every detail. my head is filled with pictures" Morphing hurts more but was temporary and she was trying to hold it together, during headaches it became harder.She leaned her head into her hands, elbows on her knees and smiled at Blake. "thank you. Just for being you, i guess." Thea winked laughing. She looked at her watch again. "The half hour of 'free time', starts in 10 minutes.What do you want to do?" She leaned back again admiring the starry sky.

Blake thought a moment before shrugging. "I'll probably stay out here for a bit. It's nice outside and it's not raining so you can see the stars." he replied. He liked stargazing but the other schools didn't have breaks. It was nice to get outside once and a while and beside the fact that it was a very dull place, the air was surprisingly clean. "When your migraine stops you can head inside if you want." he said after a moment. He enjoyed the company but if she didn't want to stay he would cope.

Alice shovelled another mouthful of food into her mouth and looked up as Blake and Thea left the group. She waved at them as they left.

She glanced around the smaller group " So what are you guys doing in our free time then " She grinned at the group already knowing what she was doing.

She shuffled in her chair and drank some water, she glanced at those still sitting around the table, Rose sat beside her and Aiden and Leon sat across from her. She knew they would probably go off together and that was fine, as long as she was outside she would be happy being by herself.
She tried to size up Aiden, wondering what his powers could be, she was sure she would figure them out when they all had class together but its fun to guess.

Thea looked over at Blake and bit her lip, "then I hope you don't mind if I stay." So far sticking by him has been good for her, so why not? She stretched out her legs, pulling her jacket around herself and leaning back. Maybe this would be a good omen about the year ahead. Taking deep breaths, Thea finally felt the painkillers working and relaxed. But she couldn't truely relax... Instead she ran through pictures of the sky in her head and listened to distant chatter. "Do you know constellations, Blake? "Darn it! No one has ever told her to shut up, hopefully it didn't start today, she blushed.

Tori had been stuck in the janitor's closet for god knows how long. He'd fallen asleep an now it was locked. His green eyes gazed over the multiple cleaning supplies and he caught glimps of a tool box on the higher up shelves. He set up some sturdy looking boxes and got on them hopping to reach the tool box. It was to high up even for his height. As he reached for the tool box he lost his balance when one of his feet sunk into the top box and he fell back into a bunch of brooms and mops, knocking over a box of baking soda all over his head. Tori groaned and rubbed the white powder off his eyes an blew a strand of hair out of his face, it's only been a month and he still wasn't use to Freesia...

Blake nodded. "Before my parents sent me here my dad taught me about the constellations." he replied, leaning back to look up at the sky. It was nice to be in the fresh air since it helped him think better.

" You'll get better at it. If it's ok with you i'm going to walk around the school for a bit." Griffin said to Hazel before walking out of the room. She hoped Hazel would be ok and shook her head. She shouldn't think like a baby-sitter. Hazel was probably around the same age as her anyway. She jumped when she heard a crash and looked around. There didn't seem to be anyone. Maybe a ghost? "No Griffin, there is no such thing as ghosts." she scolded quietly. There was however a door that said janitorial closet. Griffin walked over quietly before trying to open the door. It was locked and she thought for a moment. She had learned how to pick locks somewhere back in third grade when the teacher locked away her favorite teddy bear. She took out a couple of boby pins and soon had the door open. She peeked into the closet that smelled of mildew and saw a pale figure. "Who are you?" Griffin asked hesitantly. Whoever it was must have gotten in here somehow.

Thea felt on a roll so she might as well ask,"Do you ever feel like something is watching you?" although she was still leaning back she cautiously rolled her eyes to see Blake's reaction." maybe I'm just imaging it of course," Thea coughed," maybe aliens are observing us looking up at the stars, or maybe it's just the guards. They are always here to makes sure no 'incidents' happen." She put finger quotation marks over incidents.

Caim was enjoying his walk at the night time before the curfew on the courtyard, alone. The only thing that accompanied him was the moon whose radiance brighten the dark sky. He was quite exhausted after he practiced in his kendo club today and a little walk would surely make his mind become clear. In this Freesia academy whom he already enrolled for more than a month, Caim didn't really have many friends. He was considered to be an introvert as he rarely talked to the people even the kendo club member.

"Fuaaahh...I'm tired..." Having to spar to few people in Kendo club was tiring him. Enough to make him to yawn at this moment. Once they found out that he was a skilled swordsman, some people asked him to spar with them. Of course he didn't score a perfect result as he lost to some of them.

"As usual, a real sword is better than the wooden one" He mumbled alone after he decided to sit on the grass. Soon enough, two people, a boy and a girl caught his interest. the boy's hair was blonde and the girl was black. Caim didn't hear what they were talking about but he knew that they seemed to have a lot of fun. Without any reason, his gaze was directing at them for a lot of time before he shifted it to the night sky.

Leo and Rose said their goodbyes and left together, chattering quietly between themselves. They wandered round by the classrooms, so Rose could collect her books she often left behind. "I'm a little stuck on my homework, could you come back and help me?" She asked, it was getting late and he shouldn't be in her dorm after curfew, but it hasn't stopped them before. "Sure, just hang on til later." He replied, no tone to his voice.
They headed back round the school, onto the school grounds. Rose settled down by the trees, her head deep in study books, focusing on her powers and extending distances she can use them.
Leo headed back inside, wandering along the empty corridors, noticing an open door. Hmm, it's usually locked. He thought to himself, taking the handle, he contemplated shutting it, but decided to open it. A girl. Why was she in here?

"Goodbye Val! We'll miss you!" My sister, Tiffany, yelled before I got into the Taxi.
"I'll miss you too, Tiff! I'm not staying there forever though. A Jail couldn't keep me away from you!" I yelled back as my 'Mother' ushered me into the cab. I meant that too. I would come back, whether 'Freesia High' wanted me too or not. But not without at least giving the place a chance. I mean, hey, Private school for Freaks? I'd fit right in! Might even make a friend or two if I tone down with the throwing-random-heavy-objects thing. Anyways, the Taxi was supposed to take me to a train station where I would begin my looooong ride to Freesia. AKA 2 hour long ride... But whatever. The school had already started a month ago though, so everyone's probably already made their group of friends.

Blake laughed at Thea's comment. "Maybe. Either that or we're just under observation." he replied. He glanced around when he almost felt eyes watching him from somewhere. He saw a boy walking down the hall and sighed before turning back around. "It's a nice night." he commented before getting up to go over and lie on the grass. It was one thing that he liked most.

Griffin shrugged. "It was nothing. I just needed to tweak it a bit." she replied, holding up the out of shape bobby pins. She sneezed when the white dust cloud poofed up and sighed. "What's your name?" she asked after a moment of uncomfortable silence. It was the first thing she should have said but saying it now should be just as acceptable.

She decided to go explore the school. It'd be easier for her to get around if she knew the general layout. Plus she'd probably find some friends. Hazel got up and hesitantly stepped through the doorway. She headed down the hall, not knowing where she was going. She attempted to keep track of her path, but soon she found she could not remember how to get back. Panicking slightly she looked for any clues to where she could be but she found none.

While walking with Alice he decided to get to know her and the school better, "So you've been here for awhile, how is it here?

He reached the Ethics classroom, looking inside, it was empty and dark. He leaned on the wall near the classroom, looking down, keeping his hair out his eyes, making little ice balls, and freezing things around him before breaking them. He heard footsteps coming toward him, he readied his hand, wondering who it was.

The air hits her face and she breathes in deeply. "They are strict especially about timing of stuff, and accidents. well I haven't been here long enough but in my time not major ones, why?" She looks at him with wonder as she plonks herself on the wet grass near a large oak tree. As she sits she places her hands gently on the ground and sighs with joy as she feels her fingers sink into the ground.

Hazel began to hurry. What if she never found her way back? Would anyone try to find her? Just as she thought these things she saw a splotch of energy. A person! Maybe he or she could help! Going towards it, she ran into a wall. "OwwOwwOww Oww Oww." She placed her hand on her head. She touched the wall with her other hand, and followed it to the corner. She peeked around it. She sensed patches of cold around the person. Could he or she have ice powers? She gulped before speaking. "Hello?"

Without a doubt, Caim managed to realize that he was detected by the pair and probably, ruined the mood for their conversation. Just as the blonde haired boy laid on the grass, Caim, even though he was still not good at starting a conversation, felt that he did a thing that he shouldn't do.

"Sorry, did I disturb you two?" He said it loud enough for both of them to hear him. He wore a really plain black T-shirt and black long pants and they were enough to conceal him in this night even when the moon bathed them in its radiance...if one didn't count his silvery hair which made him less concealable.

Leo stepped forward from the wall, readying his hand to freeze something again. Stepping forward again to see person standing, a girl. He kept his hand risen in case she attacked him first. He bowed his head, not saying a word to her. He looked up again, his hand pressed to the wall, freezing it as it spread along to the floor, stopping right beside her. He watched her reaction before letting the ice disappear and leaning against the wall once more. "Yes?" Was all he said.

Aiden sat down next to Alice, propping one knee up. "No reason really, I..." Aiden looked down at his shoes, he felt the brisk air touching his face, "I can't control my powers and I was just wondering what they do if someone loses control", his face went sullen, memories started racing through Aiden's head all at once and then finally he snapped out of his trance, he shook his head and put on a smile "But anyways, what do you like to do for fun, aside from eating chinese food and helping new kids?" Aiden laughed looking at the grass around him.

Waving with a wide smile Thea waved at the boy in the distance," No no! it's okay! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining you. You can stay there or come over here as you like. Free time's over in 15-20 minutes anyways." She cringed jokingly.When she lowered her arm Thea, put down her head as well and started humming. She thought his hair was a sword, how silly. Thea curved back and picked up a pebble, threw it at a tree, watching it bounce back.

"Well that's why the school is here, to help us control. There are many with dangerous powers, but have gained some control with the school. If they do lose control, they have a few of us here who can step in and help with more calming powers" She glanced down at the grass and then back up to him and saw his face furrow. "Hmmm I wonder what power is making him so worried" She thought.

She laughs and lies down in the grass, " Well I love being outside, my powers are stronger if I'm here. " She glanced around the courtyard, noticing others dotted around.
"I also love some of the sports they offer but I never stick with them. I have a unfair advantage for most of them." She chuckles softly and sits up abruptly, a pain shooting through her shoulder. She notices Thea chucking pebbles at a large oak tree and frowned slightly.

"I know the feeling" Aiden laughed "My abilities can affect me physically so there's basically no sports I can compete in fairly" he looked up at the stars wondering how late it was, "I hope we don't have to go in anytime soon, I'm dreading actually having to do school work and paying attention in class" Aiden smiled though, even though tomorrow would mean he would have to start "being" a student again he was happy he would have a few friends to start the school year with.

Hazel jumped back, flinching and crossing her arms against herself, giving a slight scream as she saw the cold spreading on the wall towards her. Her heart felt as if it had jumped. She heard the boy ask yes. She backed away slowly. "D-don't hurt me..." She bumped into the wall behind her, and pressed herself back against it. She looked terrified and as if she was about to cry.

10-23-2013, 10:03 PM
Griffin sighed and nodded. "I'm Griffin. I arrived with my brother earlier this evening. Pleased to meet you Tori." she replied before leaning against the wall. The boy must have been here for a few months at the least. He was a good few inches taller than her and consequently she had to look up to see his face. "You missed a spot." she said after a moment and pointed to a white patch on his shoulder. He seemed nice enough and she couldn't help thinking that he reminded her of her brother.

Blake looked over at the kid who had been looking and waved him over. It was good to get to know who was nice on the first day. He wondered how Griffin was getting along and sighed. He hadn't seen his sister since dinner and hoped she wasn't getting into trouble. He shrugged off the thought and looked up at the sky again. "Look, you can see orion." he said, pointing to the three stars that made up orions belt.

Alice smiled at Aiden and looked up at the large oak tree beside them and grinned. "Your power sounds interesting , can't wait to see you in action."
She glanced around at the other students "I don't think so just yet, there are still people outside and you'll enjoy tomorrow or at least some of the classes." She smiled at him and sat and shuffled towards the base of the tree.

10-23-2013, 10:46 PM
Aiden smiled "Thanks", secretly he was hoping she wouldn't have to see him in action or anyone else see for that matter, if he actually had to use his powers something bad would happen. "Maybe I can use the super power doctors excuse" Aiden sarcastically thought.
"The classes will probably be all right, I'll just sleep through them if they get boring enough" Aiden leaned his head against the tree "Hopefully we have some classes together, and the others of course."

Scottie
10-23-2013, 10:51 PM
Alice grinned at him and stared across the grass at the other students. "Oh you don't wanna fall asleep in these classes, some of the teachers will kill you" She says entirely serious. She then chuckles and nudges him.

"Most classes are good though, I like classes to help me control my power." She stared at her hands and then placed them on the grass beside her. She copies him and places her head against the tree, letting herself link with the tree. She sighs happily and looks across at the three other students.

Caim simply replied her by waving his hand at her while revealing a smile on his face. He was glad that he didn't ruin their mood at all "Please don't mind me" He said to both of them before the blonde boy finally attempted to continue the conversation. He couldn't bring himself to suddenly blend into their conversation like a third wheel. It would be awkward if he did so, he thought to himself. With that in mind, Caim didn't do anything at all except savor the pleasant moment right now where the warmth of the night enveloped him in its calmness.

Aiden playfully punches Alice's shoulder, "Pffft I'm pretty sneaky, I doubt they'll notice." Aiden laughed, "I don't think I'll be able to take regular classes for controlling powers, but then again I don't even know how they would teach a class like that."

Thea nodded to the boy in the distance and curved back holding onto the bench back looking up. "Oh! you're right, and there's Taurus to the east and Gemini to the west. If you look you can see two people holding hands." She traced the constellations with her finger looked back excitedly at Blake,"That means winter is near. I hope we get snow." Frowning Thea remembered how bitter last winter was, it was the worst time to be in these stone dorms, everything was grey.

"What other interests do you have Blake?"

10-24-2013, 12:55 AM
Blake thought for a moment before smiling slightly. "I like to build things and i'm not bad at cooking." he replied. It was true partially. He mostly burned whatever he built which he found rather ironic. He laughed quietly and looked up at the stars. He missed when he was young. Blake sighed heavily before getting up from te grass. "Want to explore the school? Maybe we can find the gym or the stairs leading to the roof." he said with a grin. He wanted to explore the halls and probably wouldn't care if he got lost.

10-24-2013, 01:29 AM
Carpentry, she thought, that is cool and If he knew how to cook.. he was better than her already. Thea laughed."Well I'm at the gym alot, but never went to the roof before, so up to you" Thea did a hand stand on the ground to get off the bench and stood up normally straightening her shirt and jeans again. "I think we should head....THAT WAY!" She had arbitrarily picked a path but she started walking anyways looking back to see if Blake was behind her." tehgym is north, the dorms are west, I think. Feel free to lead the way."

Neutrally Chaotic
10-24-2013, 01:33 AM
Blake laughed and dashed to catch up. "Ok then let's go down that hall." he said pointing to the left once they got inside. It was fun to be with Thea and all thoughts of his sister were banished as they wound their way down the halls. After a few minutes they finally found a set of stairs. "Cool!" first contact." he said with a triumphant grin.

10-24-2013, 02:02 AM
Thea laughed and started up the stairs. In slow motion Thea did an impression of an astronaut on the moon." Huston, we have made contact, I think- Ah yes, I see the Earth over the horizon-" Thea sped up to the top of the stairs. She stood hand on her brow scanning the hallway and windows at the top of the stairs. She then took a breath and leaned on the sill. She looked back at Blake, resting against the sill waiting for a sign to keep going." Sorry I sped ahead" Thea laughed nervously shifting over so he had a spot inn the sill if he needed it.

Neutrally Chaotic
10-24-2013, 02:17 AM
Blake laughed and went to join her. He imitated a spaceman walking on the moon and jumped up a stair. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." he said after jumping up a few more steps and coming up next to her. He leaned out the sill and looked around. "Ok from where we are we might find the room if we keep going." he said with a grin. He took Thea's hand and tugged her along behind him as he went up the stairs and they wandered more halls before finally coming to the roof. "Finally!" Blake said with a sigh before realizing he was still holding Thea's hand. He let go quickly and his face flushed pink. "Oops, sorry. Got a bit carried away." he said with a small laugh.

Amythelovelyelf
10-24-2013, 02:28 AM
Thea was laughing, having a ball being dragged around. "wheeeee!" When Blake let go, she looked around and hugged him quickly but tightly. Thea blushed but she was smiling too wide to care, her long canines showing. "You did it! You found it! YAY!" Then feeling the blush burn her cheeks, she walked out a bit further. "It's okay to get carried away sometimes, we're having fun. That's important. And to be honest, I thought you didn't want to touch anyone. I saw you avoid touching the small vision-deprived girl." She looked over her shoulder giving a small smile and sticking her tongue out. Thea folded her hands behind her back and gestured with her head and shoulders that they continue exploring the roof.

10-24-2013, 02:47 AM
Blake laughed and thought for a moment. "Promise not to tell anyone?" he asked quietly with a serious expression. He opened his hand and a small flame flickered brightly before he closed his hand again. "I've burned people before when I couldn't control my powers and I was afraid of hurting the people around me." he said after a moment. Blake walked over and leaned against the railing with a sigh. "I don't want people to be afraid of me." he said quietly before looking down at the ground far below.

Amythelovelyelf
10-24-2013, 03:01 AM
" Oh! I understand that. I won't tell anyone." I walked up and leaned over the railing. "Fire can be quite a challenge to handle, I can imagine. It explains why you smelled like smoke when I first passed you in the hall. But don't worry, no one will be afraid of you here. And if you haven't noticed," Thea smiled under her hair looking out over the campus," you relaxed with me and nothing happened." Thea cautiously reached for Blake's hand and held it by his wrist, opened his palm and looked at his fingers." You know..." She looked in his eyes very seriously, " if you don't mind, I always wanted to ask this, it's a really important question, have you ever burned yourself, with your powers that is?" she continued to peer at him furrowing her brows.

Neutrally Chaotic
10-24-2013, 03:09 AM
Blake shook his head and looked down at his hand. "I don't know why but it just burns others. I'm afraid to use it most times. The school even had to fireproof my room." he said with a small unhappy sigh. He didn't want people to get hurt because of him. Blake sat down on the ground and leaned against the railing. "Promise me that if you get hurt because of me you won't hate me?" he asked quietly. Thea was one of his first real friends and he wanted it to stay that way.

Amythelovelyelf
10-24-2013, 03:37 AM
Thea sat down next to him, took his hand and intertwined her pinky with his. " I promise." She shook her hand up and down and gave him a half smile. " I'm a fast healer anyways." She winked and let his hand go. Broken bones were easier to heal than burns, but if he showed to be a true friend, she'd forgive him."I'll tell you a secret though, about making it here, and controlling your powers..." Pausing for effect, Thea finished putting her arm around his shoulders and squeezing,"relax and stay calm as possible. But I'm sure you already knew that."

Checking her watch again, Thea sighed. "Let's please just stay up here until the bell rings." She leaned back on the railing pulling her jacket around herself. " Hey.," Thea sat up and turned to Blake, boys tend to be warmer than girls usually but she wanted to ask if he needed a coat without sounding dumb," are you a summer person or a winter person?" she started singing the jeopardy theme trying to keep a straight face,"Our friendship hangs in the balance here, think deeply on this."

10-24-2013, 08:03 AM
Alice grinned, "Oh don't worry they'll notice you" She said with wide eyes "Eagle eyes all I'm saying" She laughed and watched as the others slowly ran off and a noticed a guy all by himself a bit further away from them. She watched him with curiosity.
"Oh Come on don't say that and then not tell me about your power you little tease." She punched him back. She sat up more upright. "Shall we go be lovely students and include the guy over there? He seems to have been left all by himself" She turned to ask Aiden and smiled at him and glanced back at the guy across the courtyard from them.

10-24-2013, 11:20 AM
"I might tell you someday, or you might have to see me use them in class." Aiden smiled, it was odd to talk about his powers casually.

"Yeah, let's see if he wants to come over" Aiden yelled at the guy across the courtyard "Hey! You want to come over here?"

Eventually, the pair left on their own and make the situation a lot more quiet than before. Friend...huh... He thought to himself. He was quite envious to both of them to the point that he would love to join them in their conversation. Nevertheless, he continued to sit on the grass while feeling the calmness of this night...until a certain person called...or yelled to him...as he was the only one on the courtyard right now.

Caim was unable to process what just happened...A person he didn't know suddenly called out to him. It took him a few moments before he finally snapped out half of his confusion. "Eh...ah..." Still, he didn't know what to react...but, seeing that two people earlier really enjoyed their conversation, he immediately stand up and focused his eyes on the person called out to him. "I don't mind" Who would have guessed that there's a person who suddenly shouted to him. But, he didn't dislike it...Instead, he hoped for it and his wish was granted very quickly.

Then, he proceed to where Aiden and Alice were. But, as he didn't know their names, introduction was needed. "I'm Caim...Caim Radcliffe, Nice to meet you" He extended his hand to whoever that want to shake his hand first.

Leo sighed to himself, shaking his head, I really don't get girls. He thought to himself, taking a step toward her, he kept an eye on the girl. "I'm not going to hurt you. I was seeing how you would react." He leaned on the wall he had previously frozen, standing closer to her, he had his head dipped down a little, avoiding eye contact, as he hated people looking him in the eye. "Why are you down here, not defending yourself?" he said to her, growling a little in his voice.

10-24-2013, 06:09 PM
Alice pushed herself to her feet "Hi Caim, I'm Alice and this is Aiden" Alice gestured towards Aiden on the ground and shook Caims hand firmly. She plopped herself back on the ground and gestured to the space to her right for him to sit.

"You looked like you were enjoying being outside. A fellow nature lover eh?" She grinned at him and sat cross legged with her head against the tree. She looked out at the sky and watched the stars appearing brighter as the sky grew darker, she knew they would have to go back inside soon but wished she could spend more time outside in the grass.

Hazel flinched, hearing his growling tone. She trembled. He was dangerous. She should run. He would probably catch her. If only someone could help her. Pathetic. Always needing help. Can't stand up for herself. But she was pathetic wasn't she? She probably couldn't outrun him. She tried to turn but found that she was frozen with fear. Stammering, she quietly mumbled, "I-I got lost..." She flinched again, with fearful expectance.

"Hey" Aiden said as Alice introduced him to Caim. Aiden looked around to check what time it was, he assumed it was getting pretty late, "I wonder if they still have security on watch late at night.." Aiden thought to himself, he didn't plan on doing anything hasty but he still didn't trust what was going on in this school and he was a little too curious on how punishments would work around Freesia.

Leo chuckled to himself, "I'm not going to hurt you, don't worry, but you really do need to learn to defend yourself." He said to the girl. raising a hand to his head, he sighs, usually, when he does this to Rose, she electrifies the ice, shattering it. She also freezes me in return. Oh what fun, besides, where is that girl? He thought to himself.
Rose wandered the corridors, she was bored of hanging round outside on her own. She saw a girl and, Leo? "Hey you two, what are you doing here?" Rose turned to the girl, "Hey, I'm Rose, I think we met earlier, but i didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself." She smiled softly at her, one hand behind her back, she zapped Leo with her electricity. "That's for terrorizing this poor girl, i can tell." Rose said as she turned round to electrocute him again before turning back to the girl. "I am so sorry about him."
Leo lay on the ground, shuddering a little from been electrocuted.

Hazel sensed another person, a girl, approach. Perhaps help? She said they had met earlier? So she was safe! Rose, the girl's name was Rose. "Gahh!" Hazel exclaimed, futilely putting her arm over her eyes as she unexpectedly sensed an surge of energy travel towards Leo. She sensed Leo falling to he ground. She was safe. She ran, a tear running down her cheek, and hugged Rose, taking a deep breath while holding onto her. "T-thank you..."

Valerie

I plugged in my iPod and put it on shuffle, falling asleep to the whirring of the train. When I woke up, the whistle was blowing for all Freesia High students. I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran out of the train. I got a Taxi and told him the address to the School and thought of what it might be like. Would it be all preppy? Or like a jail? Or just like a normal school? God, I've always wished for a normal life. But there will be more people like me, some might even be stronger than me. Being taught by my Uncle was probably the best thing that happened to me. I can read and control minds, throw people around and even make them go insane without even laying a finger on them! But my Uncle also taught me how to fight extremely well, too. After a while of random thoughts, I finally fell asleep.

I woke up to the taxi driver shaking my shoulder.
"'Dis the place?" He asked, looking at me oddly.
"Uh, yeah." I answered and got out of the cab. I walked over to the trunk and the man popped it open. I grabbed my bags and after giving him the money, walked towards the gates.
"Hello?" I asked into the speaker.
"Who's there?" A voice said.
"Valerie White, the new kid." I answered, looking around to see if anyone was watching. No voice answered, but the gate opened. Over a hundred people's thoughts and conversations jam into my head, giving me a head-ache. I shook it off and walked into the front doors.

The walls inside were white, with student art on the walls with a few windows and a bulletin board. there were some doors all around and reception desk in the middle of the room. The receptionist looked up from her book and looked at me with a blank expression but put on a smile when she saw me. It was fake, of course, I kind of got the hint from the cold glare in her eyes and her repeating 'I hate my job' in her head repeatedly. I walked up to her.
"Hi! I'm Valerie White, the new student here. Do you know what dorm I'll be staying in?" I asked politely.
"Yes of course." She said, looking under her desk and handing me a key, a map and a schedule.
"Thank you," I said before walking away.

((Who can I room with??))

10-25-2013, 11:32 AM
(You can room with Rose, but at the moment she is down the corridors somewhere)

Rose: "It's okay, he does this to people to test their abilities, he's always looking for someone he can beat, since i always manage to beat him." Rose laughed softly to herself. "What was your name again?" She asked the girl who was hugging her. Leo will be fine. She thought to himself. She did this to him a lot, and in the end, he always ended on the floor, with an electric shock, but he never learns. Rose often thought he must be more stupid that he looked.

When I reached my room I went in and quickly locked the door and checked the whole room for anyone else. I shut the blinds and pushed all the furniture to the walls. I then let out a sigh of relief as I sat on the ground in the center of the room and emptied my mind from all the new thoughts and people. After a while I felt sick and rushed to the bathroom, once again locking the door.

Ugh. This happens all the time. When I find a new place to stay, I have to get used to the people and go through all their thoughts. I don't really pay attention usually, but these kids were pretty interesting. When I finally cleared everything out of mind head the dizziness and headache fading. All that took about an hour and I finally realized that someone was banging on the door...

Caim noticed that Aiden just took a glance at his watch. While the breeze was really nice, that one move from Aiden just made Caim realized about the curfew. "Hey, should we go back right now? Curfew is just around the corner" The boy spoke as he shifted his attention to the moon above them. Sure if possible, he wanted to sleep on top of the grass...but if he broke the rule right now, who knows what will happen to him? He was aware that this school is the one which was containing people with unusual 'circumstances' just like him. His uncle did send him to this school but not in a negative context. His uncle felt that if he went there he would be able to make friends as other normal people didn't want to get close to him. "You can continue your dating for tomorrow" Caim said half jokingly as he still didn't know whether they're really a couple or not.

Nevertheless, He was happy at this moment. It's been a long time since he's in a conversation with the kids around his age...long enough to make him made joke like that. His uncle's decision was not wrong at all it seems.

Blake thought a moment. "I actually like both. You can see all kinds of constellations." he replied. Sure, it wasn't such a great answer but it was the truth. He wondered if she was joking when she said their friendship was being jeopardized and sighed. "I hope you weren't serious." he said with a grin. If he were to lose his only friend just as quickly then he would think of himself as an idiot.

"My name... is Hazel." Hazel let go of Rose. Hazel had calmed down now. "Do you know where we are?" Hazel was calmer now than before. At least someone was with her, and if they were lost they could find their way back. Rose could also look at a map or signs or something. Come to think of it, she still had her map in her pocket. Hazel put her hand in her pocket, making sure it was there, and it surely was.

"Of course I was kidding," Thea scooted down and laid down crossing her hands under her head. "What kind of serious person sings the jeopardy theme?" She chuckled, and nudged Blake's leg. "You have a good point, but I'm still more of an anti-summer person," Shrug. "I hate being sticky and melting." And with showing off my Athletic figure, sharp facial lines, and husky voice, people often think I'm a boy, but i kept that to myself, grateful Blake knew I was a girl off the bat.

Half chuckling, half sighing, she looked at her watch again. Tonight was one of the few times she felt truly happy." I can hear the warden's patrolling the halls already.Let's soak in the cosmic rays." She smiled at the boy beside her and watched a falling star streak across the sky." I really hope we see each other in at least one class."

Blake smiled and nodded. "Yeah. That would be nice." he replied before reclining against the railing. The curfew bell soon rang but he didn't bother getting up. Getting in trouble with a friend on the first day seemed rather nice. It had never happened before so he wouldn't know but still. "Should we get to our rooms now?" he asked after a moment. He really didn't want to but if she did then he had no right to argue.

Griffin had spent a little bit getting to know the boy she had found in the closet. The bell rang soon and she waved before going to her room. Hazel wasn't there and Griffin prayed she was alright. Hazel was a good friend to have in schools like this one. She made up her mind soon that if Hazel didn't come back in ten minutes she would go looking for her.

Thea rolled over onto her stomach." Rawr, we should." She stretched out and pretended to claw the air near Blake, then pushed herself up curving her back like a cat and stood up, looking over the railing again. there were guards moving across campus shooing loitering students towards the dorms. "If we get in trouble before the first day, we will be watched so closely we definitely won't be able to come back here." She smiled over her shoulder "and hey, if you get lonely come knock on Room 369 of the girl's wing, my roommate sleeps like a cat and snores like a leafblower and I'm either there or the gym. Just don't get caught after room checks or-" Thea ran her finger across her neck and cringed then winked, and offered her hand to Blake. She probably shouldn't have offered since she was less likely to get caught than him because she could fool them into thinking she's a boy, but how likely was Blake to take this offer anyways, it would probably only be in an emergency...right?

10-26-2013, 12:51 PM
Blake nodded and took her hand. He opened the door and peeked inside. "No one yet. Let's go." he said quietly. He quietly went in and sneaked downstairs with Thea in tow. Soon they had gone down all the numerous halls and were on the first floor. "I forgot the way to my dorm and I burned my map by accident." he said quietly.

Thea laughed quietly, "You would." Was it okay to joke so soon? " okay, time for a shortcut" She held his hand and checked if the coast is clear, then raced across the open field till they reached the dining hall, then let go. She blushed a bit, not sure whether it was from the run or from adventure but straightened her self out, fixed Blake's hair, which was standing a bit from all the fooling around and running and pretended to casually stroll towards the dorms."Follow closely and look...casual, we were here the whoooole time. Fun tip: if ever lost on campus follow the paths, they lead to each other eventually but you'll get used to it quickly." She spotted Aiden, Alice, and that silver-haired boy from earlier and tried to stay close. The two of them walked into the lobby and, now out of earshot of the guards Thea leaned over, " So, what room you in?"

"I'm in 192" he said quietly. He glanced around until he was sure no one coming. "Where to?" he asked. The gaurds were probably patrolling rihgt now but he tried not to think about that.

"Aye Captain. That's in hallway 8/9. Remember, we are doing nothing wrong, just headed to our rooms. Relax." Thea then squeezed Blake's shoulders and look around to make sure no one was looking at her. She mussed her hair so it covered her face a bit, put her hands in her jacket pockets, hunched over a tad, and took a sharp right walking quickly past the receptionist. Afraid to be noticed she didn't look back at Blake until she reached the end of the hallway. When she felt safe, she pretended to look for her keys in front of 138 and once her partner in crime was next to her she whispered to him to take the left turn then followed. As the continued down the hall, Thea continued to give tips." So your room is even, it will be on the left side. Fun fact: the girl's dorms are a mirror image so even is on the right. An hour after room checks there are only two guards, on by the front lobby door and one on the roof. It's a closed compound and everyone's asleep," she shrugged, "who needs more?" She was mentally counting 1-82,1-84, " so the tower has three hallways after the main one,at the end of each one there is a staircase,"1-86, 1-88..." plus the one we passed earlier in the middle" She thumbed behind her, indicating where they turned, and stopped walking "And here we are! 1-9-2. and I hear someone, must be a roommate."She smiled proud of her short rough tour.

"We are on the first floor, this is an abandoned corridor, the rooms along here are no longer used for classrooms, this is where students come to challenge each other. Me and Leo and others are often down here." She smiled softly, "Come on, i will take you back to the dorms, it's nearly curfew time." They walked together, Rose kicked Leo in the leg, he groaned before jumping up, still shaking a little. "Wuss." She said to Leo as he wandered behind the girls.
They soon came back to the main corridors and wandered round. Rose decided to give Hazel a quick tour before curfew. "Down here we have the gym, you can come here on your free periods and after lessons." Rose showed her what there was before they wandered off again. "Along these corridors are the classrooms we have lessons like English and Maths."
Leo just skulked round behind them, not saying a word, in his defense, he was only having a little fun, and it was the girl's fault she didn't know what that corridor was, he was just eagerly waiting for someone to battle. They finally made it back to the dorms corridor.

Alice smiled slightly and also glanced at her watch. "God look at the time, we better get a move on, before the wardens start their watch." She pushed herself off the tree trunk and then giggled loudly at Caim " Oh yes Aiden hurry now we can continue this tomorrow" She blushed and grinned at him.

She pushed herself off the ground and softly punched Caim in the arm, "So tell me more about yourself Caim, I've only just meet these new people. Aidens being secretive, maybe you can give me some gossip on the new powers joining Freesia" She smiled.

Aiden's face blushed after hearing Caim's comment on Alice and him dating, he then scooted up the tree and stretched realizing it was almost time for bed "I don't remember you telling us about your powers Alice?" Aiden grinned.

Aiden was still having an inner debate on whether or not to skip curfew and explore but decided against seeing as he wouldn't even know where to begin look for any secrets the school has.

"Hmm...about myself..." The silver-haired boy repeated the question by saying it with low voice. it was confusing for Caim whether he should answer or not. Usually, people won't ask about that kind of question but, since this is Freesia High, probably it was a normal question which was aimed at the new students. Not to mention his uncle sent him to the place where he stood right now was to let him make friends with the people with abnormalities like him. After a long pause, Caim finally decided to answer Alice's question. "Well, I can only tell you about mine. I can manipulate my own time to some extent. Not too useful" For a little bit, Caim showed somewhat a sad expression on his face. After talking about his power, he couldn't help to think about his past...his past when his friends left him because of his power. Soon after that, his expression changed to the usual Caim that they knew.

"I should take my leave now...I have to pack my belongings since I have to move to another room" Caim said to them before he turned his back and slowly walks to the male dormitory, leaving the pair away. Yes, he had to move to another room. The reason? He still didn't know yet. Probably since he was alone in his current room and the school decided to move him where Caim must live together in a room with someone. Nonetheless, He didn't think about it that much since it didn't really bother him.

Hazel walked beside Rose, listening carefully, trying to remember every hall and turn. It was like trying to memorize a road map of a country you'd never been in. Rose, was kind, showing her around. Hazel wondered if Rose knew about her disability. She decided she didn't need to tell. After all, she'd just be a bother. She'd already relied on Rose to help her from that previous situation. She couldn't do anything for herself. She couldn't protect herself or even find her way around. Pathetic. She really didn't deserve friends. All she was was a chore, always relying on someone. That's what everyone would come to think of her as well. Just like her parents. She wanted to cry, but held it in, like always. Crying would just cause trouble for those around her.
"Rose? How did you become strong?" Why was she asking this? She could never be strong like Rose. She was such a bother.

Alice grinned at both of them. When Caim replied her mouth hung open wide, " That is awesome" She exclaimed "I cannot wait to see you in action." She smiled and then frowned slightly as he wandered off.
She yelled after him "Caim wait." She jogged slightly dragging Aiden with her, till they reached Caim again. " Wait.. I mean I can't come up to the boys dorms but we can all walk up the same way. " She smiled at the boy.

"Oh and about my powers" She grinned at Aiden. "Nothing big, I mean I can't stop time, but I can do some reasonably cool stuff" She punched Aiden in the arm and started to walk alongside Caim across the grass.

Blake nodded his thanks to Thea before looking towards his room. "Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast then." He said before going to his room. He put the key in and opened the door before closing it again and flopping down on one of the beds. He was exhausted from the days events but at the same time felt happy. He had made a new friend and star gazed on the room. Exploring the school was great and the dinner wasn't bad at all. All in all the day was a good one and he was happy with it. He soon drifted off to sleep.

Thea swiveled around and made her way back to her room humming a ditty. She was happy to have fallen into Blake's lap, literally, and it was a good night over all. She was so stuck thinking about tonight and whether tomorrow will be as great that she almost crashed right into Aiden and...um who was this kid? turning the corner on her way to the lobby. "Oh Holy! sorry guys!" Thea smiling started to subtly his her trying to scoot past them. "Fancy meeting you here, how was the rest of your night?" She didn't want to be rude, but at the same time, she was still in the boys dorm!She scanned the hallway in case of teachers. Room Check, ETA 10 mins. I've ran faster than that, she thought.

They seemed enveloped in their own conversation so she sped off, bones as light as a bird's, Thea vaulted past the receptionist who really seemed to not care one way or another, narrowly avoided a guard, pirouetting behind him as cursed under his breath and quickly slipped into her room. Her roommate was in the shower, or so she thought until she felt wet hands tickle her sides and then Pheobe hugged Thea dissolving into sight. the two girls laughed and chatted for a while. When the room check came, Thea took a shower and they both settled into bed, Thea felt nice after the cheerful day she had and wasn't very sleepy, so the two of them listened to an audio book niether could remember by the morning until Pheobe eased into sleep. Thea watched Pheobe shift from visible to invisible with the ebb and flow of her snore, until this familiar sound lulled her to sleep as well.

"Owwwwww" Aiden grinned after Alice hit him, he walked alongside Alice and Caim as they headed inside. He started to watch Caim, he noticed his face had gotten sullen when Alice asked about his powers "I wonder if he's had some bad experiences too." he wondered.

"Soo, Caim have you been here long?" Aiden asked curiously.

Food….
The thought kept repeating itself over and over inside his head. He couldn’t remember the last time he had eaten a decent meal. It had been three days since he had set out on foot to Freesia High and the meager supplies he had picked up at the last town he passed, mostly vending machine items, had run out that morning.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the personal GPS he had nicked from a super store a few days back and was relieved to see that he was almost there.
“Thank god only a few more hours, hopefully it will go by fast without any issu…”
Thunder rumbled above him and a slight rain began to fall.
“I just had to say something didn’t I.”
Greyson stopped and braced himself because he knew what he was about to do was going to hurt, but it was either this or get drenched. He began to concentrate, telling his body exactly what he wanted it to do. He could feel the mass begin to grow in his leg and like a flower bursting through the snow the growth sprag forth from his leg. Screaming out in pain he fell upon the ground, dark blotches blinding him for a moment. When his vision cleared he looked upon his creation. It was an umbrella formed from sinew and bone. Bracing himself for a second time he snapped the umbrella from his leg and held it above his head, waiting to rise until his leg had fully healed itself. Greyson stood up, brushing the mud from his clothes, and continued on his way, the thought of food and a warm bed keeping him moving.
After about another hour he had finally made it to the gate of Freesia High. By that time it had already become dark out and the gate had been locked up tight for the night. He had almost given up hope until he noticed a call box to the right of the gate. He pressed the button and waited for a reply.
“Who goes there?!” came a gruff response from the call box.
“Greyson. Greyson Wilde I am a new student.”
“Your late”, came the reply and the gate slow began to open.
Relief flooded him as he slowly made his way up to the front doors. Inside the lobby was illuminated by soft light and to his right sat a desk with a women sitting behind it and two guards by her side.
“Hello my name is Greyson Wilde, my apologizes for being so late.”
The women behind the desk glanced up and looked at him with disgust. He didn’t blame her because he could only imagine what he must look like right then and there. The woman reached down and handed him a key with the numbers 192 etched into its surface and a sheet that looked to be a map of the facility. Greyson grabbed the two objects and before he could do anything else one of the guards chimed in.
“It is past curfew so to avoid any issues I’ll be escorting you to your room. Though before that I think you should get yourself cleaned up.”
Greyson nodded. It had been days since he had taken a shower and the idea of finally being able to strip of these nasty clothes was a pleasurable one.
The guards lead him down a few halls to door that lead to what appeared to be a community bathroom. One of the guards explained that when the school first opened it was cheaper to have community bathrooms and that they only became obsolete in recent years with the additions of the bathrooms in the dorm rooms.
“If you don’t mind me asking, is it possible to get something to eat?”
“The kitchens are closed”, grumbled one of the guards. I recognized his voice from the call box earlier.
“I see”, disappointment clearly visible upon his face. “Well then would you mind getting rid of this for me?” He asked, holding up the now folded up umbrella.
“That’s fine…wait what is this?” The agitated guard asked?
“An umbrella, its going to decay soon so I’d rather get rid of it now.”
“What do you mean by decay?! What is this made out of?!” The guard held the umbrella out at arms length, face as pale as a ghost.
“Bone and sinew, you know muscle tissue. My power allows me to create objects out of my bod….”
The guard dropped the umbrella and ran into one of the stalls. The sounds of retching could be heard from within along with, oddly enough, the sound of laughter coming from next to me. The other guard, a young guys maybe in his early 20’s, was bent over laughing. I took that as my queue to slip into the room that held the shower stalls.
After a nice long shower, Greyson felt better than he had in days. Though he would have loved a hot meal as well, he was thankful nonetheless. Tossing his old clothes, Greyson pulled on the only other pair of clothes that he owned: a black hoodie, a pair beat up jeans and the now clean biker boots that he had on earlier. He realized he would need to find more clothes, but that was an issue for another day. He grabbed his bag, now housing only the personal GPS and some lock picks, he headed back out into the main area of the bathroom. To his surprise only the young guard was there waiting for him, with what appeared to be a container in his hands.
“What happened to the other guard?” He asked, honestly not caring one way or another.
“He took off. Better be careful from here on out around him. He doesn’t let things go easily and I’m sure he will want to find a way to pay you back for that.”
“It’s not like I did it on…”
“Purpose, yeah I figured as much, but he wont see it that way. Oh and here,” the guarded handed Greyson the container he was holding. “This is a little thank you for making my night.”
Greyson opened the container and inside was what appeared to be cold Chinese food.
“Anyways,” the guard cutting off Greyson before he could say anything and switching back into guard mode, “Hurry up and eat, its getting late and you really should be in your dorm.”
And that is exactly what he did.
After that it didn’t take them long to reach his dorm. Greyson thanked him for everything and slipped into his room, though he could have sworn he saw the guard wink at him as he closed the door.
The room was small, but cozy and had an odd smell about it that he couldn’t put his finger on. In one bed slept a boy about his age. So as not to wake him, since it appeared he was having quite pleasant dreams, he crept over to his own bed and fell into a deep sleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

The next morning Blake got up with a yawn. He sighed and looked around the room. There was a boy he hadn't seen before in the other bed which meant he had a room mate. Blake sighed and got up before going to the restroom to change his clothes. He had forgotten to change into pajamas and unpack yesterday so he busied himself with these tasks. Soon he had put everything away and was dressed in new clothes. He looked over at the clock and thought for a moment. An hour and a half had passed so his roomie might not mind getting up now. He got up and shook the other kid's shoulder. "Hey, it's time to get up." he said quietly. He didn't want to startle this person.

"Well, since i found out about my powers, i was young. I used to sneak out the house at night to get used to them. Then, i came here, they helped me to strengthen and improve them. Now, i can project everything further. I can electrify things, and i can also freeze things, but not like Leo, he is able to control Ice. My freezing is like stopping time, but it just stops one or more people." Rose turned round and quickly froze Leo. He stood still, not a muscle moved in his body. She unfroze him after a few seconds and they continued walking. "I will be around if you need help with your powers, and the teachers here are great.
Leo had no idea he was frozen, no one ever does. But he did love his other power, he can break things with his mind, from a little shatter to a huge explosion, he doesn't often use it, but when he does, people sure do know about it. "Rose likes targets to practice on." He said to the girl, she Rose told her about improving her powers.

"I don't think much help can be given with my powers. They are practically useless. I can't do much more than an ordinary person, and what I can do isn't useful. In fact, I'm probably worse off than a normal person with all my disabilities." Hazel thought Rose's powers were pretty cool. Why couldn't she have cool powers? But no, she was given this power that cost her her senses. She heard Leo mention that Rose like targets to practice on, but she didn't think Rose seemed to be that sort of person. Leo though, was a different story. She couldn't trust him. Hazel yawned. "Are we near the dorms yet?"

Before Caim could answer Aiden's question he got weak and had a sudden surge of pain in his, "I'm going to have to go back to my room guys, I'll see you tomorrow, sorry...." Aiden stumbled through the halls clutching his head "I need to get back to my room" he thought to himself worriedly, he needed to hurry and get back so he can take his shot, the group studying him before making his mother send him to Freesia gave him a decent supply so he can keep his powers in control, he finally found his door, stumbling back into his room he dug out his lock box out of a cabinet and got his shot ready, he thrusted the syringe into his heart quickly, a sudden piercing pain was felt in his heart and he could feel the tip enter his heart, pain was running through his entire body and he couldn't help but cry a bit from the pain, he had gotten more used to it though and eventually got back to normal. He took the syringe back out and threw it away, hoping Leo wouldn't ask about it.

"I need to go bed." Aiden said staring at the moon through the window, he got into his bed not bothering to change his clothes and slowly fell asleep.

She frowned slightly and turned to Caim again, "Well Caim, this is where I leave ya." She grinned at him.

"You know where your going from here on out."She nodded at him absentmindedly, "I shall see you tomorrow in class, bright and early." She grinned, waved a goodbye and jogged to her room.

Caim knew that...He knew the expression Aiden showed just before he went to his room. It was the same expression like he wore when Caim was in pain due to his power go berserk. Sure, Caim was worried about Aiden but, since Aiden wanted to go to his room, he simply let him go without saying anything. For Caim, it was the first time he saw another person in that condition and that shocked him a bit. For few moments, he watched in silent at the direction where Aiden went, but the silence soon broke after Alice finally spoke.

"Oh okay, see you tomorrow" He absentmindedly replied as the expression Aiden wore was still in his mind. After Alice left him, he simply walked to his room, alone. It didn't take long for him to reach his dorm and found a note lying on his desk. It told him that he didn't have to move to another room until further announcement. "Well, it's a good thing that I don't have to move. It's troublesome to move my luggage at this hour" He spoke to himself as he threw the note away randomly. Suddenly without warning, drowsiness came to him and that made him yawn. He was tired after all. Without any further delay, He brought his body on top of his bed and his eyes slowly closing by itself.

I'm sure you don't have disabilities, no matter what, I can help you through the year to improve your power and to toughen you up." They reached the dorms. "I believe this one is your dorm, I am only next door if you need me. Good Night." Rose headed to her room and to her bed. Leo has already skulked off to bed as soon as we reached his room. She changed into her night clothes silently and quickly and headed to sleep.
Leo watched Aiden, but didn't feel like talking right now, he stripped and jumped into bed, dozing off to sleep rather quickly.

She lay on her bad and pulled the covers over. Night was very little different from day for her. Things were just colder and there was less people around. She had always found it hard to sleep until she found that she could damper her powers, like closing your eyes or covering your ears. She sighed and waited as the amount of information entering her mind lessened, until her powers only picked up sound, and all was dark. She lay there, slowly falling asleep, a tear at her eye from all the day's stress.

Oscar wakes with a start -- the constant and comforting vibrations and the low hum of the engine cutting out suddenly. Blearily opening his eyes and blinking at the bright sunlight streaming through the window and the variable ocean of greens and browns of the adjacent forest, Oscar is momentarily confused as to his surroundings -- his thoughts muddled by the haze of sleep.

Then he remembered.

'Oh right, yeah. The school.'

"We're here, Ozzy." his father says gently, having unfastened his seat-belt and turned to face him, "You just woke up, so why don't you sit tight for a bit, then get out and stretch your legs? You must have been exhausted."
His father flashes him a quick smile and a "I'll be out helping Mum", then turns and opens the door, slamming it behind him. His mother had already left the vehicle, and had circled around to begin unpacking the little possessions he owned.

Releasing his seat-belt and waiting for himself to come to full alertness, he sits inside the car, nervously anticipating the coming day, and internally cursing the gods of flight timetables for having him miss the first day of the term -- the most important one, in some respects. 'Everyone'll already know everyone else,' he thought to himself, '[I]and that's great, since now I'll be out of the loop. They'd have formed up into groups already...' He internally sighs at this, then closes his eyes and exhales noisily in an attempt to clear his thoughts before stepping out of the car with renewed -- if faked -- enthusiasm.

Inhaling the scent of the forest that surrounded him and the last few remnants of sleep washed away by the cool morning breeze, he glances down the road from which they had come and saw nothing save an endless stretch of vibrant green foliage and shadowed undergrowth before the road curved away and the route disappeared from sight. He had of course known intellectually that the academy was isolated from the rest of existence -- it had said so in the letter -- but to actually be there and to truly experience the degrees that the institution would go to make sure that he and others like him were separated from the outside world was a different creature entirely. Turning his mind once more from such thoughts, he instead turned to the school itself: A veritable castle greeted him, complemented with a few modern outbuildings that poorly matched the ancient architecture of the original construction. Backing onto the forest,it sat squat looming over an expansive clearing of well tended lawns and other miscellaneous greenery with well-maintained paths twisting between them, all ringed by a high wall of wrought iron fencing, red brick and white plaster.

Exchanging farewells with his father, with a hug and with a promise to call them later extracted by his mother, Oscar turns and heads towards the building that dominated the campus, dragging a small hand-luggage behind him it's a little heavy, he thinks, but with that thought the weight seems to dissipate, and dragging it becomes that much easier. The information booklet he had received had instructed him to collect a dorm key from the office there the day prior. Hopefully, there was still an empty room left, otherwise he supposed he would have to share. Consulting his map one last time, Oscar picks up the pace as he hears the sound of car doors slamming behind him, shortly followed by the unmistakable roar of an engine quickly fading into the distance.

Entering the building -- having attracted a number of curious looks from fellow students roaming the campus -- Oscar is drawn to the desk dominating the left wall, behind which sat a secretary seemingly making busywork while struggling to stay awake. Approaching her, he taps on the desk to draw her attention. She glares in response.

"Err, hello." Oscar begins, thrown off by her open hostility, "I was supposed to get a dorm key? I just arrived."

"Late? That's what this spare was, then," she mutters, before groping blindly under the desk and procuring a key; scribbling something down onto a scrap of paper before handing both to Oscar, "here, the key and the room number. Now go away, I'm not ready for this shit right now..." she collapses back into the chair, massaging the bridge of her nose.

Quickly exiting the building and muttering a quick thank you to the woman, he glances down at the scrap of paper, on which was a room number and a scrawl underneath... 'Calm?' Oscar mentally shrugged and thought that maybe it was from whatever document she had ripped the scrap from.

Outside the door to the correct room -- 122, he checks his cheap, digital watch: 6:34. Praying to the gods that the room was unoccupied and he wouldn't be disturbing anyone's sleep, he opens the door and enters the room as quietly as he can.

Griffin woke up early the next day and busied herself with getting the stuff for school ready. "Books check, bags check, lunches check." she said to herself before giving it a nod. She had gone ahead and got hazel's stuff set up too. She set the timer for Hazel to wake up in an hour before going to walk around campus. She was going to see where the class's were so she could be sure to get there correctly. After doing this she went to the cafeteria and got a couple of the breakfast platters and brought them back to the room. It was seven already and the clock should be going off any minute. Griffin took this time to change her clothes in the bathroom and do what she needed to do like brushing her teeth and such.

"Six hundred O'clock! Wakey wakey!" Pheobe woke Thea by flipping her out of the bed. Luckily some pillows fell over night so the fall was quiet and not painful..like usual. I stretched and reset my bones and we jogged toteh gym. After doing our regular routine, we raced back to the dorm and the winner got a piggy back ride to the room. It was our usual bet but I won this time, I was in a good mood. I laid out my clothes and got my bag ready, letting Pheobe shower first since she needed more time. After she got out I got cleaned up quickly and we dressed, just in time for 730 breakfast. We hi-fived,"awesome timing!" and made our way down stairs. As usual, I looked dapper and next to Pheobe and her feminine dresses, the guards thought I was her boyfriend, again. but by this point, I had gotten used to it. I was never made for dresses like her.

Thinking last night I thought of how Blake trusted me with his power and I fretted. Would he accept my power as easily I did his? I looked at Pheobe again. she was as tall as me, and we both knew that if I wanted to, I could take her clothes and change myself to fit them, but I never would. We reached the cafeteria and hugged she bounced off to her boyfriend, I had three classes with her last year, he just had meals and track, I smiled waving to him and stood at the entrance seeing if I could recognize anyone.

Something’s wrong….
…..his limbs…..
…they’re, they’re growing back….
…...What is he?
He’s….a monster…

“Hey, it’s time to get up.”

HE’S A MONSTER!!!

“I’M NOT A MONSTER!!” Greyson screamed as he jumped from his bed, pinning Blake to the floor with a bone knife barely an inch from his neck. A sudden searing pain snapped Greyson out of his dream trance and he quickly jumped backwards off the boy. Greyson quickly surveyed his surrounds, unsure as to what was happening. In front of him was a boy, most likely the boy from the night before, with flames pouring from his arms and hands. Greyson looked down and noticed the bone knife protruding from his right wrist, blood still pouring from the wound. He quickly retracted the blade and went to stand up when the searing pain he’d felt earlier returned, knocking him back to the ground. Slowly, he reached up and felt his face and left shoulder and wasn’t surprised when he discovered the deep third degree burns. Feeling his body starting to heal itself, he leaned back against the wall and looked up at the now standing boy.

“So little Firefly are you going to just stand there or are you going to tell me what just happened? By the way the names Greyson and I take it were roommates.”

Blake managed to put out the flames that had flashed to life and noted he would have to change in a moment. He had been surprised when the guy attacked him and was now on gaurd. This guy seemed dangerous but he decided that it was just a bad dream. He looked at the guy and took a deep breath. "Apparently." he replied before going to get new clothes to replace the burned ones. He then went into the bathroom to change and soon came out after making his appearance better then before. "I'm heading off first." he said before picking up his bag and going out the door. He made his way to the dining pavillion and sat down at the table. He took a deep breath and looked around for Thea.

Alice rolled around in bed, growling at her alarm clock. Suddenly a head of curls could be seen out of the covers as she pushed her head out and slammed down on the clock. Sitting up in bed and then popping her head out of the curtains, the sun instantly woke her up, she sighed and got up slowly. She showered quickly and dressed in her standard brown and green clothing. She grabbing a tote bag and pulled in jotters,books stationary and a bottle of water. She would grab something for lunch down at the cafeteria.

She opened her door and when locking it glanced up and down the corridor for any other signs of life. Not seeing any she made her way down to the cafeteria, she crossed the grass and gave a cheeky grin and salute at the guards, to which she got a smirk back from one and a frown from the other.

She entered the cafeteria and grabbed a tray and filled it with bacon eggs, and toast and a sandwich and apple for lunch, before heading to a table and sitting down, she glanced around the cafeteria hoping someone will sit with her.

Great, Greyson thought as the door slammed behind his roommate. First day and my roommate already dislikes me. Then again how could I blame him, I’d probably dislike me too. Pushing the thought out of his mind for now, Greyson got himself up and made his way to the bathroom.
Looking in the mirror, Greyson could see that majority of the burns had healed themselves, however a new problem had presented itself: he had nothing to wear now that his hoodie had been destroyed. Casting his once beloved hoodie into the trash, Greyson stripped off the rest of his clothes and quickly jumped into the shower.
As he was making his way out of the shower, he heard a knock at the door and made his way over to it, wrapping the towel around himself as he went. Greyson threw open the door and before him stood the guard from the night before with a box in his arms.
“Hello again,” Greyson said, stepping aside to allow the guard to come in. “So what brings you around so early in the morning?” The guard set the box down on one of the beds and quickly took in the scene around him. “What happened?” he asked, unsure of what to make of everything. Greyson sighed and closed the door, “I accidentally attacked my roommate when he tried to wake me this morning.“
“You did what?!”
“Like I said it was an accident. It’s been a few years since I’ve slept in the same room with another person, so my instincts are still a little on edge. Thankfully no one got hurt and hopefully I can convince my roommate to forgive me. Anyways what’s in the box?”
“Oh I almost forgot”, the guard said, making his way back over to the box and opening it. “I was told to deliver your books to you since you arrived late and was unable to pick them up earlier. I also threw in a new bag, since your current one looks ready to give out at any moment, and a few pairs of my old civilian clothes. I noticed your overall lack of luggage when you arrived and assumed you were probably in need of some new clothes. We look about the same size so they should fit you fine.”
“Thank you…”
“Carson.”
“I’m sorry?”
“Carson. My name is Carson.”
“Oh, well thank you Carson, but I cannot accept these.”
“You can and you will.”
“No, I…”
“Listen Greyson, I may not know exactly what you went through prior to coming here, but I know what it’s like to have nothing. So when someone offers you something and asks nothing in return you thank them and accept the gift.”
“But…”
“No, buts just say thank you.” Carson said with a smile.
“Thank you”, Greyson replied returning the smile.
“Well anyways now that that’s been taken care of I should get going and you should get dressed. It’s getting late and you don’t want to miss breakfast.” The guard turned around and opened the door.
“See you around.” I called after him as he was closing the door.
“I’m sure you will.” He called back and closed the door.
Greyson stood there a moment smiling. It had been a long time since someone had shown such kindness to him without expecting something in return. Greyson savored it for a moment longer and then went about cleaning up the mess he had made, deciding that the first thing he would do after he got ready was find his roommate and apologize.
Turns our Carson had been right , aside from the jeans being a little loose, they were pretty much the same size. Greyson threw his books into his new bag, grabbed the map he had been given the night before, and started making his way towards the dining pavilion.
Upon arriving there he noticed his roommate sitting alone and decided this would be as good a time as any to apologize.
“Hey there Firefly, can we talk?”

Aiden slowly opened his eyes, adjusting to the light in the room "ughhhhhhh" he groaned, he looked around and seen Leo was still asleep, he decided not to bother him and kicked his covers off of himself "Time for the first day of school." Aiden said begrudgingly. He went into the bathroom, took a shower, brushed his teeth, took his daily shot, and put a hoodie and jeans on.
When he walked out of the bathroom he checked the time and decided to go down to the cafeteria and get breakfast, as he walked inside he got eggs and bacon and sat down at a table by himself, he rubbed his head and began eating, his head was still throbbing from last night.

Blake looked up and nodded. He hoped that his new room mate was fine now. He seemed prety tense this morning, what with attacking him. Blake pat a seat to his left. He was saving the other for Thea. Blake wondered when Thea would show up and looked up at the person. "What made you go rogue?" he asked after an uncomfortable moment. He was sure it was a dream or something from the way the guy had practically been screaming bloody mureder.

Greyson took the offered seat and after a moment of awkwardness his roommate finally broke the silence.
“So what made you go rogue?” He asked, a blank look upon his face.
“I want to apologize for my actions this morning. It has been a long time since I have spent the night in the same room as another person. Most of the places I would have normally slept required me to be constantly on my guard so as to avoid any potential dangers . That automatic reflex mixed with the fact that I was not having the most pleasant of dreams must have sent my instincts into overdrive causing me to react the way I did when you touched me. I know its no excuse for what I did, but it is the truth. I can understand if you would like me to move to another room, but on the off chance your willing to give me another chance I can promise you that I will never do anything of the sort to you again.”

As blake listened he realized this guy was like him in a way. He seemed like an outcast like Blake used to be and Blake felt kind of bad for getting mad earlier. "It's fine. I like to get to know people. It takes more then a little incident like that to scare me off." he replied with a friendly smile. He wanted to become this person's friend so he wouldn't be alone. "My name is Blake by the way. I like the nickname though." he added after a moment. He was starting to warm up to this person. He seemed nice enough anyway.

Hazel jerked awake as what little of her powers were active picked up a loud noise from near her. She sat up with a start. Everything was still dark; her powers slowly became fully active again. Was the loud noise a siren? A fire alarm? She sensed Griffin in what seemed to be the bathroom. She didn't think Griffin seemed to panicking so that ruled out it being an alarm. She stood and went to the source of the sound, and picking it up, she unintentionally turned the alarm off. No longer hearing the sound, she heard ticking. So it was a clock. Oh! It was an alarm clock! That explains it. She blushed, thinking how stupid she had been. Of course it was an alarm clock. Not that she had used one in seven years though. Wait, was she late? She hoped not. Being late to class on the first day would be bad. Griffin seemed to be preparing in the bathroom, so Hazel decided to sit down and wait for her.

“Nice to meet you Blake and thank you for giving me another chance. Also I think I should take this chance to properly introduce myself.

Peeking into the darkened room and spying what he assumes to be the sleeping form of his new roommate, Oscar curses under his breath and hesitates a moment before bringing the door to the close, cutting off the light filtering in from the hallway.

'Well, crap.' Oscar summarizes, debating whether or not he should enter the room regardless, 'I don't want to wake him up though,' he reasons with himself, 'since he's probably some hyper-violent psychopath knowing my luck.'

'Fuck it, I'll get changed in the bathroom or something, there should be one around here...'

Thinking such, he starts back the way he had come, asking a passing student where the showers were, and setting off in the indicated direction...

...

After a long shower and having changed into a fresh set of clothes, Oscar leaves the dorm and once more steps out into the early morning air. He had since left his luggage inside his new room with his sleeping roommate, who was thankfully undisturbed. 'There's loads more people around than when I got here,' he notices upon exit. He checks his watch again: 7:04, so there should be no surprise that the majority of students are waking up around now; just under an hour until school really starts for the day.

"Can't wait..." he mutters, before digging the map out of his back pocket and plotting a route to the cafeteria.

Passing across the campus, his head on a swivel to absorb as much of the surroundings as possible, he realizes with a start that he had somehow missed the guards posted around the building when he had first arrived. Nodding to a few in greeting, he ducks his head and quickly arrives at his destination without further incident. It's around here he notices that the rest of the students are carrying bags of various shapes and sizes. 'Slow...' he berates himself, forgetting that he had yet to receive his text books that would have been handed out the day prior.

His first impression of the cafeteria interior was that it was smaller than his previous school, clearly meant to hold a capacity half that or less of the public institution he used to attend. There are far fewer students too, of course, and far more space to maneuver between tables.

Queuing up, and eventually having received his breakfast, he looks around for an open seat. Spying an individual rising from his table on the far side of the hall, he quickly hurries over, and sits.

While eating, he takes a look at the students on neighboring tables: At one, a group of three were eating in silence; in the corner of his eye he notices a young blonde man and his... girlfriend? sit down at a small table; behind him and to his left there was a girl sitting alone, no one taking the available seats despite him seeing some students leave, presumably for lack of seating space. Turning his attention from her and continuing with this exercise, Oscar -- slowly chewing his way through the meal -- observes quietly the goings-on of the students around him.

Thea stood leaning on the doorway, scanning people who were coming in for several minutes until her stomach growled. With a sigh she resigned to getting food first. Thea piled her plate high with allsorts of breakfast foods and sticking a piece of toast in her mouth turned to scan the room again. AHA! There was Blake, seems she missed him coming in while at the counter. Ina hop skip, she was right beside the table and and noticed there was another guy there.

She sat down across from them, chewing and finally swallowing the piece of toast." Howdy stranger." Although she was cheery Blake looked like something had ticked him off. She looked to the other boy and thought maybe he was the cause...but better not to jump to conclusions. Placing her bag down beside her gently, Thea reached over and placed her hand on his wrist, leaned and, whispering, inquired of her new friend," Heya Blake, you look like you've had a bad morning already...what happened?" he felt abnormally warm but she tuned out the sensation. After asking the question quickly, she turned her attention back to the new guy." Bythe way, n ow that my mouth isn't full, I'm Thea." She reached out her free hand," sophomore, troublemaker extraordinaire. I didn't see you yesterday. Late arrival?" She smiled the same sweet open way she did for Blake when they first met.

Caim woke up immediately when he heard the door creaking. Apparently, it was the door which leads to the doorway that just opened. It took him a few moments to register what just happened in his mind. "Who was that..." He didn't see the silhouette clearly but the one who opened it must be a male...else, an uproar would occured in the doorway without a doubt.

He decided to throw the thought and proceed to take a look at the clock. it was already morning even though he didn't feel so. Probably, the fatigue yesterday he received was still carried to this day and tried to force him back to his bed. With sheer willpower, he brought his body up and took a shower. He didn't take a long time to finish his morning routine except for breakfast. So, he got out from his room, locked it and then went to the cafeteria. In contrast with his silver hair, he wore a black T-shirt, jacket and jeans. Like yesterday if the time was at night, the only thing that will be visible would be his hair.

In the cafeteria, he took few random breads that looked delicious to him and a mineral water before he sat down at a random table...only to meet Aiden, the person he just met yesterday night. "Hmmm...you are...Aiden...right?" Caim asked to confirm his doubt about the identity of the person in front of him after put the tray which carried his breads and mineral water.

Blake shrugged. "It's nothing that wasn't resolved." he replied with a smile. "This is my new room mate by the way." he added, pointing to Greyson. If Greyson got out of the habit of attacking people randomly then Blake as sure they could become buddies.

Griffin smiled at Hazel before remembering. "Oh, I hope you don't mind but I packed both of our bags." she said. She hoped Hazel didn't think she was babying her because it would make her angry. She was just really worried about Hazel. "And our schedules were left in our box." she said holding them up.

The sight of the breakfast a la cart was a glorious one and Greyson wasted no time in piling his tray high with everything. Blake had already returned to the table, so Greyson grabbed a milk and made his way back to the table. Just as he was about to dig in a tall girl, obviously a friend of Blake’s by the way she looked, plopped down at the table and leaned in to say something to Blake. Greyson noticed how she rested her hand upon his wrist, huh he thought maybe they’re more than just friends. They went back and forth for a moment and after having finished what they wanted to say, the girl spun around and gave Greyson a big smile.
"By the way, now that my mouth isn't full, I'm Thea." She said, extending her none Blake filled hand towards him.
"Sophomore, troublemaker extraordinaire. I didn't see you yesterday. Late arrival?"
“Nice to meet you I’m Greyson and yes I arrived late last night.” Greyson replied taking Thea’s hand.

The last time any boy liked her was before the growth spurt. She was six...She was considered a boy by most of her guy friends since.

Blake looked flushed with panic, but he as he looked between her and Greyson his face paled. A sow but deep laugh formed in Thea's stomach looking at Blake, she released his wrist to softly beat on the table holding back her belly laugh from taking over. She turned to Greyson and shook her head, choking on her own laughter. She squeezed Greyson's hand," No, we just met yesterday! We are just fast friends." She blushed," I'm very physical, sorry to confuse either of you." She never considered Blake, or anyone would like her. She's had a girl fall for her once, by accident, but Blake? She glanced at him placing egg in her mouth. naaaahhhh...Right?

On his last slice of toast and having run entirely out of beans and interesting students to watch, Oscar plots his next course of action. His watch indicated he had approximately thirty minutes until classes began, but he hadn't the faintest idea as to where he was supposed to be -- the guide didn't cover his timetable, he was supposed to have received that along with his books.

Scanning the hall once more as if seeking an answer to his plight within, Oscar quickly notes the twin-tailed girl from before abandoning her table, approaching a pair of young men seated nearby.

'If she can do muster up the courage to do that, then I sure as hell don't see why I can't.'

Taking inspiration from the brunette with the green eyes, he looks over to the pair -now trio- she had approached. They had seemed to be chatting rather animatedly together, and had accepted her so easily into into their group, so -- finishing off the last of his breakfast and returning the tray -- he approaches the table and hangs around awkwardly, fishing for an opportunity to enter the conversation.

Anyways,” Greyson said, kicking himself inside as he reached into his bag and produced two papers. “with everything that has happened this morning I completely forgot to give you your schedule. I found it in the box Carson had brought me after you left. He must have decided to grab yours while he was grabbing mine to save you the trip.” He handed the schedule to Blake and spread his out in front of him. “Did you get your schedule yet Thea?”

"From a month ago, I usually eat my breakfast in solitude. Having friends to eat with makes things really different I guess" Caim leisurely said it while he ate his bread slowly. Moreover, he didn't need to rush since he's not a big eater as he only took two pieces of bread for breakfast. Then suddenly, someone or to be more precise, something that someone do caught his attention. He went left and right, hanging around the table he sat together with Aiden and Alice. He didn't know what he was doing exactly until Caim met Oscar's gaze. From that, awkward silence fell upon Caim. A person like Caim, who always spent his time with himself didn't know what to do to begin a conversation from zero. As the result, he could only say "H--Hi..." to oscar.

After some time making busywork and performing mundane actions like checking his watch and familiarizing himself further with the map of the school, Oscar realizes that one of the trio had caught on to him. Formulating a suitable entrance line, he stops next to the table, makes eye contact with the more perceptive member of the group and prepares to deliver his line when --

"H-Hi" the young man stammers at him, hesitant but drawing the attention of the others to Oscar's presence.

Momentarily thrown at the attempt to initiate first contact being made by the opposing faction, and unnerved by the complete attention given by the others occupying the table, Oscar takes a moment to recollect his thoughts, before, infected by the youth's own hesitance, starts,"Uhh, hey..." before pausing and snapping shut his mouth with a faint click and an irritated noise, retrying with, "Look, do you know where we have to go to get our books? I arrived this morning and missed them being handed out yesterday," Oscar gives a weak smile and assumes a more comfortable posture as his tension dissipates slightly -- no negative reactions so far, they just appeared to be listening, "if you know where I need to go to get my timetable as well, that would help." His part done, Oscar feels lighter than ever.

He just prays that he had made a good impression.

We aren't in the same english class but after that is our special power controlling class. We will meet up then and i'll introduce you to my brother if you haven't met him already." Griffin read the rest of the schedule and after a moment glanced at Hazel. "I hope i'm not being a bother to you. I've never had a room mate so I don't know what else to do." she said, feeling embarrassed.

Blake pouted and crossed his arms. "Don't laugh! It's not funny." he said to Thea in mock anger. He ended up laughing too of course but that's not what matters.

Thea raised her eyebrow amused. " No boy has liked me, that way, in nearly 9 years but," She smiled at Blake, then at Greyson, then looked around the cafeteria and blushed lightly, "maybe someday." She leaned over beckoning Blake's embarrassed roommate and whispered near his ear, "Maybe even you'll like me." She chuckled weakly and shook it off reaching for her bag."Yeah Greyson, I got mine a while back." There was a spark of false hope looking at the boys' silly expressions but Thea wasn't one to give hope to anyone liking her. But it was nice to hear from an outsider that she had "Chemistry" with anyone. Little butterflies fluttered in her stomach making her feel girly. It occurred to Theajust maybe if I exuded this sort of girly aura, over time, I wouldn't have to change her appearance. Giving into Greyson's segway out of the conversation she pulled her schedule out and pushed her tray aside, leaving just the juice in front of her, sipping as she spoke.

"Sooo, speaking of chemistry," Thea winked at Greyson," I have it second period. "

The three of them went over each others schedules, matching up rooms and making jokes. After finishing her breakfast she checked her watch. There were five minutes left sadly."Hey guys, we should get packing up. While we walk to the regular classes building, introduce yourself to us a bit, Greyson? What do you like to do? ports?

After looking at him for a little bit, he felt something was off about Oscar's body but he didn't know the exact reason. But soon after that, he discarded the thought completely by Just my imagination Caim mumbled in his mind. Even though Caim was a new student, He already had the schedule and memorized them all few days earlier but nonetheless, there's still a time before class and a potential new friend in his school life. There's no way Caim would miss this chance. After he gulped down the last piece of the bread, Caim started to speak while looking at Alice before shifted his gaze to Oscar.

Alice, proceeding to answer his first question, continues, "Well, there is the front office -- you know, the lady who gave you your key." his expression darkens a little in memory, "Yeah, her," she chuckles, "You need to go see her, she will give you everything you need." preparing to thank the girl and leave, "Do you know your way there? Because I'm nearly finished if you guys wanna take a wander to the front desk before class starts." Her personality was at such contrast from what Oscar had assumed of her, he was momentarily lost for words.

"I don't mind," the quiet one speaks up instantly, "since we still have time until math class starts"

The other young man gives his own assent, claiming that he too had yet to receive his schedule for the coming term. He asks Oscar his name which is given by the now thoroughly off-balanced Briton, and gives his own -- Aiden.

"We all better hurry before Alice starts asking Oscar a million questions." Aiden teases.

Feeling entirely swept along by the more forceful personalities at play, and not having the courage to inform them that -- actually, he knew perfectly well were the reception desk was, having received his key from there not an hour before -- Oscar gives another smile, thanks them and accepts their offer of aid.

Standing from the table with the rest of the group, he heads to the door. He was not sure how exactly he had found himself with such a large group already, but decidedly happy with the coincidence nevertheless.

Alice grins at Oscar and stands before frowning at Aiden. " Darn it Aiden giving away my game." She smiles at Oscar and runs up to walk alongside him.

"So you were a late arrival, I hope we have lived up to your expectations and been a good host so far." She grins. She looks the boy over, hoping he wont be scared off by her sudden outbursts, she just wanted him to feel welcome. She glances behind him.
"Aiden, Caim, come on, I need to get my schedule and see if I'm stuck with you guys for the rest of the year." She sticks her tongue out at them and smiles widely, before clearing her tray and dropping it by the door.

She pushes the door open for Oscar as she waits for the other two boys to catch up, she glances over the rest of the cafeteria taking note of the other students still hanging around.

Lily seemed to just blend in with the crowds as she and few other (NPC) students gathered in a horde to get their new schedules. She wasn't really making an effort to talk to anybody, with a lot still going through her head, but she would once in a while giggle at things that would tickle her funny bone, and respond to people if they spoke to her; in a polite and excitable tone.

She stared at the schedule in her hands as she backed away from the crowd, trying to memorize the order of her upcoming days at this school. "Whoa, hey!" a young man called out, trying to desperately to avoid colliding with people while holding a food tray. "Whoopsies! I'm sorry." Lily responded as she moved out of his way. Lily let out a sigh, the first class of the day was about to start and she really just wanted to go back to sleep. Letting her knapsack fall from her shoulder to the ground as she knelt down, Lily proceeded to fold her schedule and put it away in her bag, before heading toward the first class.

After comparing their schedules the three realized they all had the same classes together and spent the rest of breakfast shooting the shit. Greyson couldn’t help but smile. It had been so long since he had interacted with people in anything more than a formal manor that he didn’t realize until now how much he had missed it. He had been afraid for so long that others would shun him for what he was that he never let anyone in. That was in the past though and he decided from here on out he would try and be more open with people.

"Hey guys, we should get packing up.” Thea said, throwing her bag over her shoulder and grabbing her tray. “While we walk to the regular classes building, introduce yourself to us a bit, Greyson? What do you like to do? Sports? Hobbies?"

“Well,” Greyson said, grabbing his things and heading towards the trash. ”To be honest I am a bit boring. I haven’t played any team sports since I started living on my own, but I used to like playing soccer a lot when I lived in foster care. In the way of hobbies I guess you could say I like hunting and reading. I never had any money so I spent a lot of time in libraries and majority of my food I caught. It’s actually at the library that I first heard about this place. I was on the internet and stumbled across the school website. Up until then I had no idea that there were others like me in the world. I mean sure I heard rumors, but I had never actually met anyone with abilities. So I decided to apply. That’s pretty much it why don’t you tell me a bit abou…Whoa, hey!" Greyson stopped short, almost running into a girl in front of him.

"Whoopsies! I'm sorry." She said, quickly moving out of his way. Before Greyson could tell her it was alright she disappeared into a crowd of people.

“Anyways as I was saying,” Greyson began, dumping his tray and turning to face the others. “Why don’t you guys tell me a bit about yourselves.”

Blake nodded and counted the class numbers. "Me and my sister came here yesterday but we've been in the program since third grade. My sister is my fraternal twin and she is the smart one but I'm more athletic." Blake said before taking a breath. He wondered which class his sister would be in and if he would introduce her to his new friends. He shrugged and looked around the room as they entered. As far as he knew the class a and class b schedules had the same first period and that he would probably see his sister soon.

"Okay then." Hazel was glad they shared some classes. It would be harder if she didn't know anyone in her classes. She was taken aback when Griffin said that she thought she might be being a bother to Hazel. "Of course you're not a bother! I'm the one being a bother. Of all the people you could have ended up with, it had to be the useless blind girl, no?"

"Yeah she'll be lucky if she's stuck with us." Aiden smiled, nudging Caim, he proceeded to catch up with Alice and Oscar "You know Alice I hope your powers can help you become a tour guide because you seem to help every new kid that comes along." Aiden laughed, it was true though, the reason he met Alice was her desire to help everyone and the whole time he hung out with her she had to help people who were alone or lost, it was a good thing of course and it suited her well.

Aiden looked at Alice and Caim, remembering how he ran off without a word last night freaking them out "I forgot to mention this but uh.. well... sorry about last night when I took off..." Aiden scratched the back of his head, he wasn't used to apologizing about things regarding his powers or even talking about anything to do with them.

"Come on" Thea waved after herself taking a seat by the windows, midway up and turning around in the chair." According to this schedule, I should be in a different class, because I'm ahead in math but I'm happy to be here with friends!" She turned back to Greyson as he sat down" So as I was saying, I'm an athlete. Here I run track, and play tennis and basketball. we can't compete with anyone outside but its still fun. " she sighed then scoffed" It can be funny when people with powers play sports, cheating, cheating everywhere." Two new friends so fast was amazing. while she listened to them talk, she really hoped they wouldn't hate her by third period...

Unfortunately, just as they settled into the class, the teacher came in early, which was just in time to see Thea sitting backwards. Worse was the teacher recognized Thea's hair before the girl had time to make an escape. She turned around to a flinching glare and an outstretched arm, pointer finger extending in the direction of the hallway, Thea stood up, shouldered her bag and bowed apologetically. "oops, wrong room Ma'am" A lie but she tried...

Before leaving Thea turned to her friends placing a hand on each of their shoulders and giving a curt squeeze and a sorry expression ."See ya guys in a couple hours. And good luck, math isn't too bad and Science is probably going to be fun " and she stepped back into the hall following kids in her year as they were filtering into the next classroom.

A sudden act of apologizing from Aiden shook Caim for a bit. Not because he remembered about his behaviour at yesterday but because the act of apologizing itself. Before he entered this school, he didn't even get chance to apologize to his ex-friends, who had left him after they knew Caim was a little bit abnormal than the majority. When seeing Aiden apologize like that, even if it's a trivial thing, made him see his own self standing in front of his eyes. He simply made a smile on his face while his eyes met Aiden's. "Not a problem...Everyone has a thing or two that they don't want another people to see" Even though he spoke softly like usual, it looked slightly different as if he was saying it to himself.

Nonetheless, Caim decided to follow the light brown, twin tailed girl from behind. In the end, it's a good thing for him too. He was able to talk with another people, spent his time in a meaningful way rather than sitting alone in the cafeteria and the most important thing was, he got friends he could talk to. He could only hope that he wasn't in a different class from the rest of them.

Riding on the back of his emotional high, it takes a moment for Oscar to realize that the others had not risen to leave with him. He quickly realizes the minor faux pas he had committed when deciding to immediately set off for the reception office, but cannot bring himself to return.

"Darn it Aiden!" He hears twin-tails exclaim behind him with a playful note in her voice, "Giving away my game so early!"

'She seemed so... reserved when she was eating earlier. Oscar thinks to himself, considering the hyperactive brunette.

'Maybe it's one of them,' he muses, turning to look over the two males in turn -- They seemed to just be rising from their seats themselves. Alice was approaching him, tray in hand.

"Hello again." he greets her, with a touch of self-ridicule.

"Hi!" she returns, with a broad grin, "So," matching her pace with his, "you were a late arrival? I hope we have lived up to your expectations and have been good hosts so far." she flashes another quick smile in his direction (though when was she ever not smiling?). He didn't miss the implied meaning – which that this act was for his benefit. He was amazed that they -- that she -- would be willing to go such lengths to make another feel comfortable in an unfamiliar environment, and was grateful that she would help him so. ’Explains the mania, too. '

"Aiden, Caim, Come on! I need to get my schedule and see if I'm stuck with you guys for the rest of the year." she shouts back at the two, sticking her tongue out like a child -- the manic pixie impression still going strong.

...

Outside now, Aiden and the young man whose name he hadn't yet caught joined them in their adventure to retrieve Oscar's books. They walked silently for a while, Oscar feigning interest in the surroundings. He hears, as if from a distance, Aiden laugh and says, "You know, Alice? I hope your powers can help you become a tour guide, because you seem to help every new kid that comes along." A response from Alice, "I would be an awesome tour guide and you know it"

The girl, turning now to him as Aiden and other member begin talking to one another, "You excited then? I know I was excited last year, you can never truly brace yourself for seeing others powers." She gives another soft smile, building into a broad grin.

“I forgot to mention this…” Aiden began, addressing the other. Oscar, sensing that perhaps he shouldn't be eavesdropping on this conversation, busies himself by concentrating on pieces of the scenery -- large rocks, trees or perhaps one of the benches scattered across the campus -- he attempts to tune out the rest of the conversation and immerse himself elsewhere.

He notices a fallen branch beside the path and scoops it up, starting to bend and twist it. A spasm of pain from Alice, who quickly snatches it away from him, her expression darkening for the first time since he had met her, "Let’s be nice to the earth, shall we?” She dons an obviously fake smile. He realizes that, in some way, he had hurt her.

Feeling terrible, he flounders inside his head for a suitable topic to resuscitate the mood from the Cafeteria.

Finding one, he addresses the group as a whole, "S-so! What was yesterday like? Aside from receiving the dorm key and the books, did I miss out on anything else?"

Alice grins back at Aiden "I would be an awesome tour guide and you know it" She smiles and turns back to Oscar, "You excited then? I know I was excited last year, you can never truly brace yourself for seeing others powers." She smiles at him softly, Alice couldn't tell an outward power from Oscar, she just hoped he couldn't read her mind or anything. She grinned at him.

Alice listens in to Aiden and Caims conversation and quietly nods and smiles at Aiden while continuing to walk forward. Suddenly pain shot through her as she watched Oscar nearly snap a tree branch. She frowns at him and takes the branch away from him, trying to smile.
"Lets be nice to the earth shall we?" She smiles stupidly to herself.
She glances back at him when he speaks
"Yesterday, it was just really people arriving, at all different hours and me staying in my bed most of the day. Don't worry you haven't missed out on anything/"

Griffin shook her head. "No. Your not useless at all! I think you're really nice." She said. Griffin was glad she got stuck with hazel because she wasn't stuck up like some people griffin had roomed with before. "Come on. Let's get to class so we don't get in trouble." She said, helping hazel up and getting their bags. She made sure to stay close to hazel so she wouldn't get lost. "You are the nicest person I've roomed with." She said with a smile.

Hazel followed Griffin. She guessed she was nice. Was she? She tried not to inconvenience people and she just wanted to be friendly with people. Was that nice? Hazel felt happy that Griffin thought she was nice. "Thanks... though I'm still not very useful. I'm always having to get other people to help me and then they have to go through the trouble of helping me."

"Thanks man" Aiden was grateful for Caim's understanding, he was however surprised that Caim was the one first to speak giving how quiet he usually is it was odd that he spoke first, Aiden felt a sense of understanding, that Caim knew what he was going through. Aiden continued walking with the others hoping he had the same schedule as his new friends.

"No problem" He said to Aiden before finally Oscar started another new and fresh topic which could be considered a good thing to start a good conversation after Caim realized a fake smile emerged from the only girl in the group. After Alice gave out her answer, Caim was the next one to speak. "I have arrived a month ago but since the class just started now, I was doing club activities, which is Kendo" He looked at the group as he told them. But, when his gaze met Oscar's, He realized that he forgot something that he didn't do earlier. Introducing himself, that is.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself have I? I'm Caim Radcliffe, the only resident of room 122" It was the first time he said his Room number to another person. It wouldn't hurt to get an extra friend or two visiting him before curfew in his room. "Sorry for the late introduction" This was aimed specifically at Oscar as the pair, Aiden and Alice had knew it last night when the moon became the only witness which was gallantly looking at them from above.

"Hey its time to get up!" I heard someone say. mhmhggh. I'm tired. I got to bed late last night and the bed was much comfier than the one at my moms. I gave a sigh of content as I drifted back to sleep.

~A few hours later...

"Gahh! I'm. So. Dead!" I yelled, frantically searching the dorm for clothes and books. As you can see, I'm running a bit late. As in I missed lunch late. I quickly pulled on pants and a Tshirt at random and stuffed all my books inyo my shoulder bag. Then I calmed down and began speedwalking down the hall while brushing through my hair. When I was about to bump into anyone, I would shove them slightly with my telekinesis. When I got to the classrooms wing I shoved my plastic hairbrush into my pocket and pulled out my schedule. (Schedule B ) When I finally found the right classroom I walked.in casually to find it was mainly empty.

The teacher looked as if steam were blowing through her ears. I quickly entered her mind and put in the thoughts of me not skipping class for some well-needed sleep. She calmed down and visibly relaxed. I smirked as the other students looked at me in confusion and awe because I didn't get in any trouble. I then sat down at an empty desk and waiting for the others.

"Yesterday, it was just really people arriving, at all different hours and me staying in my bed most of the day. Don't worry you haven't missed out on anything." Alice gives him a glance.

"Oh, really? Huh." He replies, uncertain if her impression of him had changed for the worst. 'She doesn't look mad.' Oscar thinks to himself.

"I arrived a month ago," the silver-haired fellow begins, drawing his attention, " but since classes just started now, I was doing club activities -- Kendo" he explains. Perhaps sensing Oscar's internal dilemma as to how to continue referring to this unknown person, they proceed to introduce themselves; "...Caim Radcliffe," they say, "the only resident of room 122." Oscar blinks, "Sorry for the late introduction."
"Oscar Hille." He replies automatically.

Oscar was almost sure that that was his dorm number, too. They wouldn't have a degenerate dorm numbering system, would they? He digs out the small scrap of paper he had yet to throw away, unfolds it and reads it again to make sure: '122, Calm'. 'Though, maybe that is an 'I', as in 'Caim''.

He wanted to confirm whether or not they were sharing the same room, but concluded with some thought that it could be dealt with later and that classes were going to start soon and thus were a much higher priority.

...

**The group approaches the reception desk as one, acting on some ancient instinct. The receptionist growls at them in fury, but they do not retreat; They do not back down.**

...

The group leaves the reception: Oscar had received his textbooks (as well as his timetable) and was currently struggling to hold on to them all; Aiden had received his timetable and was comparing it with the other group members'. Oscar excuses himself and heads back to his dorm (confirming the room number once more just to be certain) and grabs a bag, stationary and other miscellanea he might need at some point during the day. He checks his timetable: Math first, then science -- not a bad start. He leaves for the first lesson, the others having already done so.

After the group leaves the reception and Oscar went to the direction where the dorm lies, Caim started to look at his wristwatch only to find a fact that the class has almost start. After a sigh escaped his mouth, he turned his attention to the group. "We should go to the class right now" Just after he finished speaking, the bell rang around the school to inform the students, whether they're sleeping or not, to come to the class as if it emphasized Caim's statement earlier.

With that, Caim immediately went to the designated class and took a seat at random as he didn't really know about the others. He knew some faces but he didn't really know them much except for their names. Then a few minutes later, he saw Oscar came in and silently follows the first lesson with another students

Once Aiden got his schedule he looked over it, as he was examining it a wave of laziness came over him and he groaned aloud, "I can't believe I'm actually going to have to go to classes again." he said to no in particular, "Oh well, I have schedule A, I'm gonna head to class see ya guys later." with that Aiden walked off examining the halls to find math class he hoped someone he knew was in there but remembered everyone had math together "Well, could be worse, hopefully I get a good seat.".

Aiden entered the classroom not paying attention to anyone particular, he sat down in a desk near the center as to not draw any attention to himself, he really didn't want to get noticed by the teacher, worried she might call him up to workout a problem later.

Alice grinned as everyone got their schedule and went their own ways. She pulled her own schedule out of her bag scanned it and started her gentle jog to class, she passed by some more guards and grinned at them all to which they smiled back, she was that annoying student.

She reached the door and peered into the classroom, the class hadn't started but the teacher was standing before them all. She slipped in silently and took the first seat she could see, she watched as she saw the other students she had been with moments ago, she grins at them.
Pulling out a note book and pencil she glances at the board and smiles at the teacher.

Rose

Rose opened her eyes and let out a big yawn. Wow yesterday must have really worn me out, I haven’t slept that good in ages. Rose glanced over at her clock and almost fell out of bed upon seeing what time it was. No way I’m late! She thought, realizing she forgot to set her alarm clock the night before. Rose sprang from her bed and quickly threw something on. Great, she thought as she quickly ran her comb threw her hair, I missed breakfast and will have to wait to eat till lunch. She grabbed her books, thankful she had grabbed them the previous day, and ran out the door.

Leo

Ugh, Leo thought as he hit the snooze button for what seemed like the hundredth time that morning. Wait, he thought as the number of snoozes had finally dawned on him, what time was it? Leo glanced at his clock and cursed himself for hitting the snooze button so many times. Leo got out of bed and noticed Aiden had already left, making a mental note to ask Aiden to wake him up for now on. He grabbed his books, thankful that Rose had dragged him to get them the previous day, and ran out the door. As he made his way down the hall, he noticed Rose coming out of her room.
“I guess getting up late must run in the family”, he called out jokingly and ran to catch up to her.

Rose

“You too huh?” Rose said giving Leo a sheepish smile. Rose was always the responsible one and hated it when others saw her slip up. “Well we better hurry, we don’t want to be too late.” With that the two of them set off for their first class.

Leo

“Well this sucks”, Leo said, noticing that class had already began. Leo was not one for large groups and the thought of having to walk into class late and have everyone staring at him made him uncomfortable. Then a thought hit him. “I have an idea that could save both our butts!” Leo said, a large grin appearing on his face.

Rose

“No!” Rose said instinctually. Rose knew that smile and what followed was never good.
“Oh come on you don’t even know what I was going to say!” Leo said, pouting like a child.
“I know you! Whatever your thinking is just going to get us in trouble!”
“No it wont, I promise! It’ll be easy and the best part is they wont even know we were late. All you have to do is…”
“No, absolutely not!“ It dawned on Rose then what Leo had in mind. He wanted her to freeze the entire room and have them slip in unnoticed. Rose was opposed to using her abilities on others, well Leo being the exception, and to be honest she wasn’t sure she could freeze so many people at once. She had done it before, but it hadn’t been easy.
“Come oooon, just this once please!”
Rose noticed Leo’s shoulders slump a little bit. With always having been an outgoing person, she sometimes forgets that Leo isn’t.
“Fiiine! Just this once, but you owe me!”
Rose noticed the smile return to his face and couldn’t help smiling herself. Rose began to concentrate, feeling for each person in the room. Once she felt she had everyone, she summoned up her power and released it. The room suddenly went quiet.
“Hurry”, she said, obvious strain showing on her face. “I wont be able to hold them for very long.”
The two of them quickly slipped into the classroom and took two seats in the back of the classroom. It was a strange sight being in a room where time seemed to have stopped. She would have spent more time looking at her handy work, but she had reached her limits. She released everyone and the room burst back into action. It worked, she thought, resting her face in her hands.
“You two!” Roses head shot up. “When did you get here?”
Or not…
“What do you mean?” Leo chimed in quickly. “We’ve been here the entire time. Had we not been you would have seen us come in late.”
Though you could tell she thought otherwise, she couldn’t argue with what Leo had said and went back to her lecture.
Rose shook her head and smiled.

Thea had sat through the first class daydreaming and science seemed to drone on about theories. It wasn't of much interest until experiments started, She looked around at the classmates she could recognize,and it was only one girl. Sigh

Third Period was quickly approaching and Thea watched the clock, nearly melting a beaker in the process.oops...

Surprisingly, her jock brain made it through chemistry with no more mishaps and her results were good.YES! Despite her nervousness, Thea waited at the door to the outside space for powers class hoping to catch Greyson and Blake. She waited but all the while worried...what would her new friends think once they saw her change...?

There was that ginger girl, and that lanky black boy sitting hunched over in the far corner by the window. He also recognised Caim, but couldn't help but notice Aiden's absence.

Sitting down at an empty table, Oscar unpacks his bag and prepares for the lesson.

Greyson

It was weird to be sitting back in a classroom after so many years. It seemed so surreal after the life he had been living. Greyson tried to give himself some sort of education after he left; spending a few hours each week in the library reading through various subjects. Seems all that work had paid off because he was able to follow what was being taught. The same thing happened in his next class and Greyson could feel a weight lifting off his chest. Prior to coming to Freesia High, he had been worried he would be severely behind the other students. The bell rang signaling the end of second period which meant it was time for Powers Class. Greyson was unsure as to what the class would entail, but he was curious and excited all the same. Greyson and Blake gathered there things and made there way to the door where Thea was waiting for them. The three of them then set off together.

Rose and Leo

The first two periods seemed to just fly by for the both of them, which neither was complaining after the morning they had.
Rose could tell that Leo was excited for next period as they made their way to Powers Class. Leo may be shy when it comes to talking in front of a group of people, but when it comes to showing off his powers, Leo never shied away.
When they arrived at the classroom there was already a good number of people there. The first day of Powers Class is always a chaotic one since every student in the school must attend the first class for pairing. Rose wondered who she would be paired with this year.

The first few classes flew by and soon it was time for the extra class which was the one for power control. She saw her brother come in with his hair a mess and sighed. "you know you really should brush your hair in the morning." she scolded, fixing his hair for him. He grinned sheepishly and shrugged. "You know me, I don't have time for that." he replied. "You have a lot of time in the day and you can't even spare enough time to brush your hair?" she asked. He shrugged before dashing to the back of the class. Griffin sighed and took a seat next to Hazel who had taken a seat already. "How have you been doing?" she asked with a smile.

As class went on Aiden started to get bored so he pulled out his schedule to see his classes again. As he was scanned over them he noticed one that made his heart jump, "Power Class" as soon as he seen this his heart started racing, and he felt a sick to his stomach form anxiety "What the hell is a power class? Please don't make us show our powers please.", almost as soon as Aiden thought it he overheard two others in the class talk about, "I wonder what everyone's power will be this year" one boy said, "Yeah, me too, we'll see in third period I guess" the other said. This confirmed his fears, "I can't use my powers, crap, there has to be someone I can talk to there to get this straightened out.", Aiden was deathly afraid of what might happen, what if he hurt someone, or worse even killed them? He also started thinking of the new friends he made and wondered what they would think if they seen the monster he can turn into.

Alice stiffled a yawn as the teacher watched her, she throw her head down and scribbled furiously on her notebook taking notes . Class went quickly and English was great as always ( CLASS SCHEDULE A).

Alice grinned as she thought of powers class next, she wondered what powers the new students would possess and who she would be paired with this year. She stood, nodding at the teacher and smiling as she passed through the doors and began her walk to the large hall where powers class was held. She clutched her books to her chest and walks slowly, she glances around her but sees no one she really knows.

She is worried about power class, she wasn't paired with anyone last year why would this year be any different?

Caim was concerned about the third period. 'Power Class' was written on his schedule and it's the one he remembers the most even until the second period ended. What he was concerned is what would happen...or rather, what would be taught in the power class. It was certainly a class that one would never find in a normal school. Since Freesia High is not a normal school at all, probably having this class is quite normal considering that the majority...or the whole population of the school are abnormals. I hope that this class is not exactly like of what I think He mumbled in his mind before finally he reached the designated class, where all of the students will gather to do this class in one place.

In there, he could see a large amount of people with different faces, identity...and powers. Nonetheless, Caim stands in the midst of people and he was unlucky enough to not spot one of his friends whether it's Aiden, Alice or Oscar. He could only stand and waiting for the class to start, hoping that the class is not like what he thinks. Though if this class is about to erase one's power, Caim would gladly accepted it with happiness.

She was alone...in her room. Light didn't even come as the curtains were blocking the light from the outside. In the midst of darkness, Sarara woke up and moaned shortly after that. After a few blinks, she regained her conscious bit by bit. Eventually, she wondered where she was at this moment. She put a lot of focus into her thought process and finally realized that she's already in Freesia, in her new school. Her eyes instantly opened wide with excitement and got up from the bed. "It's finally the day I've been waiting for!" She screamed like a child. Sarara knew that this day is the first day for her who just arrived yesterday and the day when she began to meet with many new things. She knew about a school but never attended one, that's why she was so excited. Swiftly, she took a bath and packed the things she needed. After all of those were done, she began to take a look at her schedule. Math is the first one and science is the second one. "Perfect!" She said to herself. But her expression changed slightly when she takes a look at the clock in her room. The clock told her silently that the first period and second period had passed already. She couldn't believe that. She thought that the clock was broken and received it as a joke which came out of nowhere.

But, her look on her face changed 180 degree...when she opened the curtain and finally was able to come into realization as the sun was halfway through the top. It was the fact that her clock was not broken at all. "I'M LATE!!" She bursted out from the room and ran toward the main building and went to the science class...only to find that people were already going to the next class, Power class in the hall. She ran very quickly, evading all the other students while doing so. Soon, she finally arrived in the hall where everyone in the school gathers to take this one class. "I've made it in time...Haven't I?" She asked to no one while trying to find space between the students.

Having already studied his schedule, Oscar knew that third period was the supposed 'power class'. Some others in the class appeared to be looking forward to it, while others seemed to withdraw into themselves as the time approached. He was somewhere in the middle ground himself.

Oscar looked up from his textbook at the bell signalling the end of second period. They really hadn't done much in lesson -- just went through the syllabus and caught up some of the younger students with the more advanced material that would be required for the course.

Heading to the sports hall as directed by his chemistry teacher, Oscar arrives and is met with the sight of a gaggle of students already present -- clearly those with a different time-table. He thought he spied Alice and Aiden in the crowd, but he couldn't be sure.

Moving into an unoccupied space, he stands quietly with his bag dragging on his shoulder -- waiting for his name to be called.

Greyson sat at the back of the room and listened to the conversations going on around him. It didn’t take long for him to find the specifics regarding Powers Class. Supposedly at the start of each new school year, the students are to be taken one by one and evaluated in front of a Board made up of faculty. Each student is then to answer questions and demonstrate their abilities in front of the board. They do this every year not only to learn the abilities of the new students, but to also gage how far the previous students have come in mastering their abilities. After all the students are evaluated, the faculty then split the students up into groups where they work together to help control their abilities.
“Silence everyone please!” The entire room fell silent at the sound of the woman‘s voice. Greyson had been so distracted over what everyone had been saying that he didn’t notice the woman enter the room.
“Thank you. Now before we begin I would like to welcome everyone, both new and old, to Freesia High. I am Prudence Freesia, Headmistress here at Freesia High. I started this school, along with our sister schools, in order to give our kind a place of refuge where we can be ourselves and learn to control our abilities without fear of persecution. Like you, I too have an ability and understand the burden that can come with it. That is why we do this every year. By evaluating each and every one of you, we try to match you with other students and teachers who can, or at least try to, help ease the burden of your ability. With that said Carson here will call each of you by name and you are to join me and my fellow Board members in the Great Hall. If you are in need of anything that may benefit you during the evaluation please let Carson know. Also due to the amount of time needed for our evaluations, all classes are cancelled for the rest of the day. I shall take my leave for now and be seeing you all shortly.” With that the woman left and was replaced by one of the guards.
“Hello everyone my name is Carson and I am one of the guards here at Freesia High. When I call out your name please come speak to me prior to heading to the Great Hall. We will be bringing in food shortly and afterwards there will be food in the Mess Hall for you to enjoy as well. Now first up will be Greyson Wilde. The rest of you relax and enjoy yourselves because it‘s going to be a long day.”
Greyson was taken aback at the sound of his name being called. He wasn’t expecting to go so soon. Most places do things in Alphabetical order, which would have given him plenty of time, but then again this isn’t most places. Thea and Blake wished him luck and Greyson made his way over to Carson.
“Hey”, Greyson said catching Carson’s attention.
“Hello again my well dressed friend.” Carson greeted him with a smile.
Greyson blushed. “Thanks again for this morning.”
Carson laughed, “Your welcome. I am just glad I could help.”
The two of them stood their in silence for a moment before Carson broke the silence.
“Anyways before you go I am to see if there is anything you need that could help you during the evaluation.”
“About that, what exactly do you guys mean if we need anything?” Greyson asked.
“Oh, well some students require different things in order to demonstrate their abilities more easily.”
“That makes sense” Greyson said, thinking if he would really need anything. “But I should be fine. As long as I’m careful I shouldn’t need anything. Actually can you have them bring me a towel, my ability can get a little messy.”
“Sure, anything else?”
“No a towel should do it.”
“Ok I‘ll let them know. If that’s it then I think we are done here. Just head on over to the Great Hall and they will take it from there.”
“Thanks”
“Wait...” Carson called to Greyson as he was starting to leave. “I was wondering if I could see you later once everything is done?”
“Uh sure” Greyson said, surprised by Carson’s sudden question.
“Ok I’ll come find you later and good luck.” With that Carson disappeared into a crowd of people.
Greyson could feel himself blushing, but didn’t understand why. Though he had just met this person he couldn’t help wanting to see him again. Deciding to worry about that later, Greyson made his way to the Great Hall.
Greyson wasn’t sure where the Great Hall was so he pulled out his map and saw that it was located towards the back of the building. The entrance to the Great Hall was a set of large wooden doors set into a grand archway. Unsure if we should knock or not, he decided just to make his way in. The sight of the Great Hall was a breathtaking one. It was a large, empty room that seemed to stretch forward forever. The ceiling was held up by carved pillars and oil paintings lined the walls. At the end of the hall sat a long table where several people sat awaiting his arrival. Greyson made his way down the hall and stopped once he was in front of them. The Headmistress, who was seated in the middle, was first to speak.
“Welcome Mr. Wilde, is it ok if we call you Greyson?”
“Yes Ma’am.” Greyson answered, trying not to reveal how nervous he was.
“No need to be nervous Greyson. Allow me to introduce myself again and introduce those sitting beside me. I am Headmaster Freesia and to my right is General Hanson, Head of the Guard here at Freesia High.” She then introduced the other members of the Board, all of which were teachers who would be in charge of guiding them during their Power Classes.
“It is nice to meet all of you. I would also like to take this time to personally thank you for allowing me to attend your school.” Greyson said, truly sincere.
“Yes I remember you.” Headmistress Freesia said, giving Greyson a warm smile. “We have very few students here on scholarships and I apologize we did not get a chance to meet prior to this. I normally try to personally greet each and every one of our new students, but I only arrived this morning from a business trip so I was unable to do so earlier. So why don’t we take this opportunity to get to know each other better. I remember a bit about you from the application you submitted, but I am interested in knowing a bit more. Would that be ok?”
Greyson nodded. He wasn’t a huge fan of talking about his past, especially in front of a large group of people, but how could he say no to the ones who were allowing him to attend this school for free.
“Well I was fifteen when my powers first manifested themselves. I was an orphan from birth and spent most of my life in and out of foster homes. It was my birthday and my foster siblings and I were outside playing when a drunk driver drove through our front yard and hit us. We were all severally hurt and somehow I managed to survive, I later found out that I was the only one and it was most likely due to my ability. When EMS arrived they noticed my body healing itself and all hell broke loose. The EMS personnel and my foster parents thought I was a monster.” Greyson could feel tears starting to form, but he forced himself not to cry. “I was confused and scared so I ran. So for the past three years, well almost three years, I was on my own, doing whatever necessary to survive. I am not proud of some of the things I have done, but what choice did a monster like me have. A few months ago I discovered the existence of this school and stumbled across your scholarship program. So now I am here and as I said before am eternally grateful.”
The room went silent for a minute.
“Well”, the Headmistress said, a sad look upon her face. “I am sorry that you have had to face such hardship at such a young age. It is a sad truth that those with abilities tend to have rougher lives. My hope is that one day humanity will be able to except us, but until that happens creating a place of refuge is the best I can do. There is also one thing I would like to make clear though. You are not a monster. No matter what others may say. You are different, special even and do not let anyone make you believe otherwise. With that being said we too are grateful for your presence here.”
Greyson was at a lose for words. Greyson knew then and there that he had made the right decision to come to this school.
“With that being said, why don’t you tell us a bit about your abilities. From what you have said so far you seem to have some sort of regenerative ability, am I correct?”
“Yes that is part of what I can do. After the incident that awakened my abilities I discovered that not only can my body heal at an extraordinary rate, but that I can also manipulate my body in any way I wish. I also discovered, during a rather brutal fight between me and a shop owner, that my blood can also heal others if it gets into their system.”
“Can you please demonstrate it for us?”
Greyson was dreading this part.
“Sure.” Greyson walked a bit away from them and removed his shirt and pants, not wanting to ruin the clothes he was just given.
“I must warn you before hand, my ability is a bit brutal to watch.”
“Understood, please continue.”
“Before I begin, the towel I requested.”
“My apologies.” The Headmistress gestured to a guard standing by one of the walls and he brought Greyson a towel.
“Thank you.” The guarded nodded and returned to his post.
Greyson nodded and thought about what he should do. Since this was the time to show them what he could do he assumed they would also want him to go all out. With that in mind he began to concentrate. He had only done this a few times before due to how complex and painful it was to do. Greyson could feel his body start to change. First he started to elongate his spine. Pain shot through his entire body as his muscles and skin began to tear and repair themselves. A long fleshy tail began to emerge from his lower back, extending upon the floor till it was about six feet long. He then focused on the vertebrae in his spine, guiding their growth to the desired shape. Large spikes burst from his back following the curve of his spine down to the end of his tail. He screamed as they continued to grow and buckled under the pain, landing on his hands and knees. Greyson could hear gaps coming from the table. “Mr. Wilde you can stop you don’t have to go..”
He cut them off. “NO! I’M FINE, LET ME DO THIS!” He screamed and the spikes finished growing. He then started to focus on his entire body, bone sheets began to emerge from his skin creating a grotesque armor all across his body. Once finished he controlled his breathing and stood up. Greyson now stood before them, blood dripping from between the boney plates. The pain subsided and was replaced by his body’s natural urge to return to normal. He fought it for as long as he could, allowing the Board a moment to take it all in, and then finally gave in allowing his body to resume its natural form.
Silence had fallen over the room. Unsure if he should say anything, he decided to keep quiet and just stood there exhausted. After another moment someone finally spoke up.
“Young man,” it was the Head of the Guard who spoke. “That is quite the ability you have. If you don’t mind me asking, why did you revert back to your normal self so quickly?”
“As I’m sure you all saw, the process itself is very painful and can be rather taxing at times. Besides that my body has it’s own natural urge to want to revert back to normal. The more I force it to do the stronger that urge becomes. Smaller changes to the body are easier to manage and I can retain them for long periods of time. It took me years and many hours of training to be able to pull off what I had just shown you.”
“So your saying that in time, with enough training, you could retain that form for a longer periods of time?”
“Yes I believe I could.”
“I see. Like I said before that is quite the ability you have.” He seemed finished with what he had to say and the Headmistress took it as her queue to say something.
“Yes I will agree with him, that is quite the ability you have. Though the display itself was not quite within my own tastes I thank you for the demonstration. I do have one final question and then you can get yourself cleaned up. You say that you can manipulate your body in any you wish, is it also possible for you to take the shape of other people.”
“Yes. It is a bit tricky to mimic someone completely, but I have managed to do it on a few occasions. I cannot however change into anything that is not human. I have tried several times, but to no avail. Is there anything else you would like to know?” Greyson hoped not. All he wanted to do right then was get himself cleaned up and relax. It had been a while since he has had to push himself so hard and it was taking a toll on him.
“No I think we have seen enough. Thank you again Greyson for everything you have shown us here today and again Welcome to Freesia High. I believe we will be hearing great things about you during your stay here. You may now be excused to get yourself cleaned up and enjoy the banquet we have set up in the dinning area. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.”
Greyson said his goodbyes and quickly cleaned himself up before leaving the hall. He had considered skipping lunch and going right to bed, but his stomach would not allow that. With that decided, Greyson headed towards the dinning hall.

It seemed like Greyson had to go first. They went through the new kids first, and being a second year Thea just sat back waiting to get a drink and chatting with Blake, and occasionally making faces at Pheobe, until it was his turn.

Soon enough she was sated and had gone thru a second water bottle and was sitting with a few lone students minding their own business, staring at a far wall, recalling the past evaluation and being bored out of her mind..."Moorosi..Miss Moorosi?"a faint voice came to her attention."THEA MOOROSI. I see you don't sleep!" Thea shot to her feet grabbing her bag and ran towards the podium almost out of breath.
"I'm sorry" HUFF" Mr. Carson" huff "Sorry, not sleeping." huff huff. She straightened out to the guards' rolling eyes. "I'm alright, I don't need anything. Thank you. I'll go to the great Hall now." She nodded and made her way to the huge wooden doors. Imposing as always, breathe, it's not scary, nope,just push...

When she entered it was the same as the year before. a board of teachers and the headmistress and" THE GENERAL" off to the side. Thea put her bag down near the exit and walked until she was a comfortable distance from the panel. Going straight to greetings , Thea gave small small bows to everyone." Hello Headmistress, Esteemed Teachers and coaches." She gave an especially nervous smile to her athletic coach who sat near the end of the line.

The headmistress gave a smile and started to engage Thea in conversation."Well I see you are a second year, a bit young. Must be quite smart, eh?" One would think she would be tired but the headmistress still radiated warmth, maybe it was part of her powers? like she is the sun or something." How are your classes going?"

This wasn't the usual discourse for these evaluations but the sudden concern calmed and distracted the teen." Yes, ma'am. Thank you for asking. How are you doing?"

"Quiet well, thank you, not many more after you. " the warmth of her voice stayed with you when she chuckled."So Thea, remind me how you got to our fine establishment."

Thea looked around, the hall was so opulent it bordered on oppressive for Thea's tastes..." Fine is not the word. It's excellent. and how I got here, I was invited when I was four..." she taped her chin recalling the years before she lived on campus."Right before junior high, when I hit puberty, my powers which were weak so they seems dormant, came into full swing and I woke up in pain and sweating because I had been dreaming about bats and had grown fleshy wings over night. There were other incidents later...A week later my dog was caught under a car and her legs were broken, when I held her to me and cried my wish came true, her legs healed,loudly but it worked and so my parents told me the truth about Freesia and not knowing how to take care of me sent me to one of the younger sister schools, I graduated out easily and here I am." Up until she finished her eyes had been traveling the room and she found what she needed to display her powers.

"Alright." the headmistress looked through the papers quickly," Show me your, it says here, two powers"

Thea nodded taking a deep breath and kept her eyes on the panel. "Okay first of all, I'm not sure when but that painting behind me is new. The old one burned down probably. This replica is done by the same artist likely as the age shows to be the same but his signature has shifted from a curve that ends near the front of the g to near the end of it. The change is a millimeter and I have not looked at it since last year. I remember every detail perfectly and always will. A headache really." She winked earning a roll of the eyes from Coach. "My second power has become much less of a pain in the neck." She lifted her hair showing the sigil (http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/200H/i/2013/158/f/1/sigil_of_transformation_by_unsungno1-d684kny.png)on the base of her neck. Again Coach could just barely hold in a groan, the headmistress amused glanced at him. Thea cleared her throat and continued frowning."My parents had me get this tattoo because they need to know it's me...sigh Excuse me General Please step next to me." He complied, phew and Thea circled him and nodded satisfied with her choice. She removed her vest, unbuttoned her dress shirt, kicked off her shoes and socks, and closed her eyes concentrating again. Soon she found the sensation of blazing hot water followed by ice wash through her from her toes up her legs, hips, torso, and as if a wave splitting, continue down her arms and towards her head. all the while little clicks could be heard of bones subtly re aligning and fusing. As she reached the General's 6'1" height, not too far of a stretch for her, she felt the icy relief wash over her skin, settling the sudden pressure it was under being pulled to fit a man's body.Opening her eyes Thea was able to feel her hair having shortened as her skull grew and she simply turned showing the sigil again. Impressed faces allaround, Thea looked at a side wall mirror and saw her copy looked perfect, aside from the color of her air and shade of skin...But how did it sound?

The head mistress clapped satisfied." Is there more?"

"Yes Headmistress." Thea's voice was deep and masculine as expected with the new body.Must-contain-my- YAY "Thank you General, don't worry I won't imitate you without your permission" She shook his hand tried to stay businesslike. As he walked away Thea exhaled and shrunk to her normal size smoothly.Then the sensation started in reverse, clicks a tad more like quiet thuds. Thea's head started to spin but she steadied herself. although her official height was now 4'8" her ears were wide and pointed, nose pushed up, jaw elongated, nostrils flared, her eyes seemed to take up more of her face, but she winced as her arms seemed to shorten to become long bony fingers, skin netting the spaces between each spine. It was uncomfortable to speak so she simply flapped her arm and flew a circle around the room, ultimately trying to hang on a rafter then clumsily slipping and gliding back to her spot.

AFter Thea finished dressing her normal body, the evaluation continued." I see you have improved your animal like imitations..."Thea just nodded."Very good. Do you still get migraines from using either of these powers?" Nods again." How long did you say you can keep a form?"

"Human, indefinitely. So long as I keep up with contacts and hair color changes and keep them on my mind. Animal-like, it is only as long as I'm focusing on the animal and even then its stylistic."

"And you choose your natural appearance. Why?How an you tell? "

"i know because it's the only form I feel complete control. It's unconscious and I have come to the conclusion I have to love myself rather than live a lie."That sounded harsh but it was the truth.

Two teachers smiled and looked at one another." Okay you are done-" before Thea could leave,"Ms. Moorosi, do you mind a new partner."

"'Not at all ma'am."

Thea looked at her quizzically at Coach for a hint but he shrugged." That's good, we know who you need..." Thea bowed to the panel again, gathered her stuff and left for the lunch room. I am famished! Where are my buddies?

Aiden walked into the hall, his heart beating rapidly, as he entered he saw the massive crowd together which only made him more nervous. He looked for someone he knew but to no avail, so he found a corner in the back and waited anxiously on how 'power class' would work, "There's no way they're gonna make us show our powers in a crowded room like this" Aiden reasoned, trying to calm himself down.

After awhile the Headmaster introduced herself and went on with a usual expected introductory speech, she finally explained how students would be showing their powers, they would be doing it individually in front of the faculty. "Jesus, this will take forever." Aiden thought, there was so many people to take into account for one day, Aiden thought it must suck to have to evaluate the students.

After awhile and a few names being called his heart skipped a beat as he heard his name "Aiden Lane".

Aiden proceeded to the Great Hall, once he entered he was saw the faculty on the other end of the room, the headmaster greeted him, "You must be Aiden Lane, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, we already know a bit about you seeing as there were a few experiments operated on you before you were transferred here." Aiden was shocked she knew this information, almost no one was supposed to have access to his files, he started to get suspicious, "Yeah, they told me this school was unrelated to the experiments, how do you know that?" the headmaster furrowed her brow and lost her cheerful disposition for a moments before quickly regaining it "Well were not affiliated with them exactly but they gave us your files before you came, they thought it would be better that way" she smiled trying to reassure him. "I guess that makes sense." Aiden got a little less suspicious, "So what do you want me to do?"

"We want you to show us your powers of course, do you need help?" She asked, seeming genuinely concerned.
"Yeah, can someone run into my room and get my shots? They're in the the cabinet, top shelf, next to the bed on the left side." if Aiden was going to show his powers then he would need a way to calm himself after he went frenzied.
"Yes of course." She gestured a guard to go and get them.
"What are the purposes of these shots Aiden?"
"I can't control myself when I use my powers, the shots revert my adrenaline levels back to normal and shut off my 'primal' instincts." Aiden looked down, he hated talking about his powers.
"Interesting, what are your powers exactly? Be as detailed as possible."
"When I get into an intense emotional state, usually fear, anger, or sadness, my heart starts beating insanely and my muscles will start contracting and retracting, my adrenaline levels rise to an insane level and I can't think clearly, I get an insane amount of strength but at the cost of my own sanity and health for the time being, prolonged use can cause severe damage."
"What do you mean you lose your sanity?"

"When I'm in this state I basically revert to animal instincts, I don't think and everything is hostile to me, I'm basically rabid, I either have the shot to revert my bodies hormones back to normal or I pass out for a few weeks and wait for my body to heal itself, I only have slightly better regenerative abilities than a human."

"Interesting, explain to use how you discovered your powers." The headmaster asked.

Aiden blushed a bit from the compliment, as simple as it seemed it wasn't often he got complimented. "I.." Aiden looked down, he remembered the mans face whom he killed so long ago, "Me and my mother were poor and lived in an ever poorer neighborhood, we didn't get along and fought very often, one day it was so bad I left for a few days, she couldn't take it because I was the only one capable of doing anything to get money. After awhile though I began to feel bad about the fight so I walked home, as I was I seen she was getting mugged by someone, but it wasn't just a normal mugging, this man had a gun with the intent to kill after he seen me he threw off my mother and pointed his gun at me and shot me, right in the heart, after that I went black, subconsciously I thought I was dead but eventually after what seemed like hours I began to get my vision back and was standing over the man, he wasn't even recognizable, he had a pulverized face with no identifiable facial features, there was... blood.. all over me and my mother looked petrified, her eyes were frozen with fear." Aiden put his hands in his pockets, clenching his fists.

"After a few weeks, some men came over to our house and offered my mother some money if they took me away and ran some experiments on me, she of course didn't hesitate to sell me and like that I was gone for 3 years having experiments ran on me, going through combat tests, having my powers forcefully used, not to make the researchers sound like bad people though, they were nice enough even if they just saw me as an animal." Aiden felt weird talking about these things to complete strangers, actually he just felt weird talking about this to anybody.
The headmasters eyes were wide, and shee seemed to feel sorry for Aiden, "I'm sorry you've had such trouble, but I assure you that here at Freesia you have nothing to worry about, and no one will judge you here."

Aiden didn't believe a word she said, "Okay." was all he could say, it was odd for him to be so callous but he didn't trust people when it came to his powers.
The guard finally came in with Aiden's shot, the headmaster spoke, "Now that we have your shot will you give us a demonstration?"
"Is it really necessary? I have to have the shot place directly into my heart and I doubt your guard will be able to get close enough to me."
"They're more skilled than you think and I'm sure you have a degree of control."

"Fine." Aiden took off his hoodie, he closed his eyes and tried to dig through his memories, something bad, something that would make him angry, he found it and focused on the memory. Aiden's breathing started to get heavy and what was breathing turned into more of a growl, the change was beginning, Aiden clutched his head in pain and fell onto his knees screaming, he could feels his muscles expanding, contracting, and retracting everywhere, his heart was beating so rapidly that it seemed like it would rip out of his chest, the blood flow was getting too much and he started to lose consciousness, Aiden ripped some tiles off the floor angrily and pulverized a support beam, then, it finally happened, everything went black and Aiden was locked in the back of his mind again while the beast in him took over, he just hoped that things would be okay.

Light returned to Aiden's eyes, he looked down to see a syringe stuck in his chest, it worked, the guard was able to get it into him, he looked over and seen the terrified guard and seen what resembled a chase, there were much more ripped tiles and busted beams now, Aiden thought he must have attempted to attack the guard.
The headmaster spoke, "That was different, from a lot of powers we see, your frenzy was... much more dangerous than we anticipated." Aiden cringed at the word frenzy, so much for being normal in a school full of people with powers, even his power wasn't normal, power wasn't even the right word for it, he's just a monster.

"But it was quite exceptional, tell me, is there any hope of controlling your powers?"
"I would assume that theoretically I can use certain powers and give myself some of the strengths without turning but I don't think I could ever control myself completely."
"I think you have plenty of potential, but tell me, how many injuries can you sustain while in this mode?"
"Plenty, after I turn back to normal though it's a different story."
"I see." the headmaster smiled, "Well Aiden it was nice to meet you, don't lose hope, there's a place for everyone here. You can go back now and we will evaluate you and find you a partner or partners."
"Okay." Aiden couldn't have a partner, that would be too dangerous, oh well though, there wasn't nothing he could do.

"He will be a difficult one." the general spoke as Aiden left, "He's a little too dangerous don't you think?"
"There's a lot of potential if he could learn to control his powers, he's never been taught how to, just been experimented on to see what his powers do." the headmaster said.
Aiden entered the mess hall to get something to eat, the change uses a lot of energy so he needed to eat some food.

Walking over vast hills the smell of sweet lilacs floated into Jack's nose, and he watched as they blowed in the wind. He had almost made it to his destination. He was supposed to be going to Freesia High on a scholarship but look at him now. He had missed the complete first night. Crossing the last hill he finally saw the magnificent school. Trees and plants galore surrounded it, and as he came nearer he could hear vast amounts of wildlife. Jack had been hitch hiking for more than three days to make it to Freesia High. He had done more than most others his age would have done or been able to accomplish. His long white shirt and pants were stained with dirt, and his eye had went from a bright yelow to a more dull color from exhaustion. "I guess this is my new home." Jack muttered to himself as he walked foward. He was actually unaturally thin, from his days of travelling, but he didn't think he could rest just yet. Walking into the school he saw a crowdof students going in one direction.

Falling in line with the other students he soon found himself lined up in what he assumed was the Sports hall with craploads of students already there. He seemed to have made it just in time to hear the headmistress give her speech. During the speech however instead of finding himself inspired, or even bored he was infuriated beyond belief. She probably had no idea what it was like for him. He had literally erased his parents from existance over a little argument and regretted it ever since. So what did she really know. It took quite awhile for him to calm himself. Rubbing his hands through his hair he took deep breaths not wanting to sem to weird compared to the other students around him. As the headmaster left her pedestal Jack found himself smiling in glee, and actually quite like the guard better. He kept it short and sweet.

Alice sat her books on her lap and watched as more and more students were called in for their first Powers Lesson. She sighed and twiddled her thumbs waiting for her turn, although she had already experienced the "joy" of displaying your powers and getting a partner, she was still nervous that again she would be alone for a year.

"Alice Rodgers" A deep voice boomed around the room, Alice felt pins and needles run up her spine as she stood and clicked her neck. She grabbed her belongs and followed the man in front of her into the Grand Hall.


She entered and smiled and waved at the teachers sitting before her. She sighed and waited for their questions.
"Alice" Headmaster Freesia spoke first " I hope you are well and enjoyed your summer, I know you spent a bit longer at the school than the other students last year."
Alice looked at her feet, blushing, feeling ashamed at having nowhere to go.
"I am well thank you. How are you all?" She looked up at the table and smiled .

"We are good Alice, Now I have seen your powers before and heard your story but you know we must repeat this process." Headmaster Freesia smiled softly at Alice.

"Yes I understand." She took a deep breath in " Well I arrived last year, I came from.... I manifested my powers when I was young and I managed to coax a little sapling to become an large Oak tree in seconds. My parents... Well they weren't really fond of the powers thing.. so I wasn't allowed to use my powers in the home and we shifted homes every time there was an "incident" But I practiced .. boy did I practice I stayed up late and went to nearby forests. I came here by my own will to learn how to use my gifts and when here I discovered a new gift as well." She spoke in a monotone voice not smiling until the mention of her new power then she grinned .

"Alright Alice. Now can you please give us a demonstration of both your powers."

Alice glanced around the room and noticed two plants in the room a potted plant in the corner and a bushel of dead flowers on a nearby table, she glanced at the table and with a nod from the Headmaster dragged both objects over to her.

Beginning with the flowers she placed her hands over the flowers and smiled at them, her hands warmed instantly and a glow appeared around them, the flowers perked up and their colours grew stronger. She smiled and touched the petal as the flowers returned to their full colour. Picking the vase up she walked forward and placed them on the table.


Walking back, she stood beside the potted plant, she quickly glanced it over and then placed her hand in the center of leaves. Suddenly the leaves sprouted bigger and the plant begin to grow until with an almighty crack the pot it was in cracked down one side. She stopped immediately and looked sheepishly at the table, as she received only smiles she reduced the plant to its previous size and placed it back in the corner.

"ummm... for my next power Can I get some help?" She scanned the table and watched as General Hanson stood and walked towards her. "What do I need to do?" He asked smiling at her.

"Ummm I need you to move back and then run at me" Alice smiled. He looked puzzled "run at you"
"Yes, run at me" came the reply.

He sighed and walked back a few steps and ran at her full force.

Alice stood with her stance strong and as he got close, she throw her hands up and a red thing veil appeared around her. As soon as the General made contact with the veil he was thrown backwards against the wall.

Throughout the room stifled giggles could be heard. Headmaster Freesia glanced at them all and smiled at Alice

"Brilliant Alice, you have learned a lot this year. Manifesting a new power is a great accomplishment I hope you continue to grow. Now would you like a partner this year? Have you anyone in mind?"

Alice stopped smiling and looked honestly at the headmaster " I would love a partner this year Miss. Please"

She watched as the General hobbled back to his seat and throw a glance at Alice and then grinned.

She smiled and then the Headmaster waved her hand to indicate that she had been dismissed.

"Keep up the good work Alice and enjoy this year." The headmasters voice echoed in the room as Alice left the Grand Hall with a wide smile on her face.

He hadn’t really considered that they would be individually assessed considering how many students he had seen around the campus earlier in the morning. Oscar was surprised by the chaotic procedure as well. Surely, they would have been better off running through the students alphabetically? Perhaps the students were being sorted by ability somehow?

Occupied with his thoughts, his novel and generally trying to remain unobtrusive, Oscar waits as the students trickle out of the holding room. When only a scant few remain within -- all very much as apprehensive as he – Oscar’s name is called. He rises to his feet and follows the guard out of the room.

”You need anything for your demonstration?” Carson asks once they had left the hall, speaking casually.

Oscar pauses for a bit, then, “Some weights, and some scales.” Carson nods and replies, “There should still be a set hanging around, the last guy through was a telekinetic.” He looks at Oscar appreciatively, “You need anything else? “Oscar shakes his head mutely.

“Alright then, you head on in, and I’ll be back with the stuff.” They stop at a door set between two arches. Carson indicates for him to enter, before briskly walking off in the opposite direction.

Oscar opens the door.

Scorch marks on the walls; carpet soaked through by water and blood; patches of the floor where furniture had clearly once stood lay exposed. It seemed also that someone had caved their way through a support beam, for a substantial portion was missing -- its plaster and brickwork lay scattered. There is a faint scent of ozone in the air, and something causes his hair to stand on end as he approaches the table in the centre of the room.

”Oscar Hille, was it? Welcome to the academy, Oscar. The headmistress smiles warmly, “Sorry about the mess, it’s like this every year.” She sighs in defeat, but her expression remains, unfaded. The others at the table remain silent. They…looked tired. She introduces the two seated to her either side, and Oscar meekly greets them in return.

”You are one of our scholarship students, yes?” she asks once the introductions are over, “Interesting... So, tell me a little about yourself.”

”W-Well...” He begins, not having expected an interview along with a demonstration.

He blanks.

Embarrassment rising as he stands stock still, intimidated by the attention diverted by the half-dozen occupants of the room; completely silent and racing for something, anything so say in response to the headmistress' query.

”Well...” blushing furiously now, “I...” still, nothing strikes him.

”What about your family? Where you lived? Your school, perhaps? “ Headmistress Freesia prompts after some time.

”I..." calming now, “I attended a public school, in London. My dad runs a construction firm.”

”Hmm.” she responds, “How did your parents react to your ability? Your records say that you can...” she searches through some sheets on the desk before her, “... Manipulate gravity?” she gives him an appraising look.

Oscar consults his earlier memories for a while before relying with, “They were...” he struggles with his response, “They didn't notice, at first. It isn't obvious... you have to lift the object and feel the weight after it’s altered.
They noticed my... abnormal,”he winces a little at the word, “weight as a child. I was much lighter than I should have been and my muscles were underdeveloped. They thought I had a disease.”

“Why had your muscles degraded?” One of the board members asks him. Turning to face them in turn, “I exert my ability on my own body -- it’s unconscious." He clarifies.

”So you’re doing it now?”

“U-uh...” He is suddenly aware of how heavy his body is starting to feel, “Yes.” The board member nods to themselves, and waves away Oscar's attention. The Headmistress now, “Neither of your parents are supernaturals? A first generation, then?” she muses. Was he supposed to answer?

There is a knock at the door, and Carson appears juggling a digital scale and a small case presumably filled with the weights he had requested earlier. Approaching the table himself, Carson sets his load down carefully, before flashing Oscar a quick smile and moving to the side of the room. "This is all you required?” The general asked sceptically.

”Yes, I was going to make the weights lighter.”

There is a general sense of disappointment from the assembled teachers. Of course, why hadn't he seen it? Considering the destruction present in the room, how could such a simple demonstration possibly compare? He had to try something different.

"Actually, Can I have a volunteer? It's not harmful.” One of the staff assembled -- a rather skinny man -- stands from his seat after some deliberation, and walks around to stand before Oscar.

”Right, okay.” Steeling himself for what is to come, “Remain standing for as long as possible.” Oscar focuses on the teacher in front of him and slips into the power trance...

Twenty seconds.
[166%]

It... Really wasn't all that flashy. He simply stood there, observing intently the object before him.

Forty.
[180%]

The teacher remains standing with seemingly the barest effort. Wasn't it working? When he tried this with himself, he could rarely last more than thirty... Was his power too weak?

One twenty.
[194%] They wobble, ever so slightly, before righting themselves. Oscar has reached his effective limit, he knew this.

Why, why had he thought this was a good idea?

Two minutes.
[196%]

The teacher is still standing. Murmurs sound from those assembled, before being silenced.


Five minutes.
[214%]

A cough from the board of directors breaks Oscar's trance. ”Well, I think that is quite enough." The Headmistress exclaims, “Thank you for the demonstration, Oscar. We will select a partner to work with you, and a mentor from amongst us to help with developing your power."

May you enjoy your stay here in Freesia High.” She smiles sweetly.

Oscar turns and quickly leaves the room, face burning.

Jack found himself getting more cranky by the minute. He was extremely exhausted, and starving, but couldn't do anything till after his evaluation. As others passed by him to do their own evaluation they stayed away as if they could feel his anger seeping out. Jack was also worried about how he would display his power to the teachers. He had no clue what he wanted to do, that would also keep pain to a minimum.*

"Jack Snider!" A deep voice called breaking Jack of his thoughts, and as he followed it he found himself on top of the podium facing Mr. Carson. Mr. Carson looked at Jack as if he were insane, and Jack couldn't to much blame him. Jack still had his bags hanging on his shoulders since he had just arrived.*

"Sir, why are you holding onto all of your luggage?" The guard asked which made Jack blush just a bit.*

"Sorry sir, I just arrived not to long ago. I don't even have my room yet." He admitted as he looked around feeling as if all the other students were staring at him. Looking at Mr. CArson Jack was sure he had seen the guard roll his eyes. This slightly irked Jack's nerves but he wouldn't be able to do anything.*

"Make sure you go o the front desk after this. Now do you need anything specific during this evaluation?" Mr. Carson asked looking down at a list in his hands.*

"Yes I do sir. I'll need a box of animals. No bigger than a squirrel though." Jack said as he walked towards the Great hall. Entering the room Jack felt his jaw drop when he saw how devastated it had become from the past students. He saw tiles, and beams torn down all around him. "Seems like you need a better interior decorator." Jack joked as he stepped before the teachers while still observing the room and imagining what it looked like before.*

"Good evening sir. It's Jack isn't it?" The headmistress asked referring to a clipboard. It made sense though, after dealing with who knew how many students it would be almost impossible to remember all of their names.

"Yes mam." Jack said barely wanting to talk to the women, and feeling his fist open and close. He really couldn't stand the headmistress and he hadn't even really gotten to know her yet.

"I see you're a scholarship student. Thats quite impressive Sir." The headmistress said as she flipped through a few more papers. "We have some questions for you as well before we move on to the evaluation." These words made Jack freeze in place as he already imagined what type of questions she would ask of him. He was sure he knew which one was coming though. "So Jack at what age did you come into your powers?"

Looking up Jack tried to remember exactly when he had started. "It's hard to say, but the youngest I remember was at about three when I used it to make my food disappear, and if I ever wanted a new toy." He answered shrugging his shoulders.*

"It also says here that you were sent to a orphanage at the age of seven. What happened to your parents?"*

Jack felt the tears well up in his eyes and flow down his cheeks as he was forced to remember what he had done to his parents. "Well... You see they were arguing with each other, and I happened to be there watching. It was scary seeing my mom pull the gun out on my father, and him pull out the knife. I didn't know what to do, and I was scared. Next thing I knew they were both gone. They had completely disappeared." Jack said wiping the tears away on his shirt.*

Some of the teachers, and even the headmistress looked shocked by it and whispered among themselves. Some looked as if they felt sorry for him while others looked at him with prejudice. "We are sorry to hear that. Would you mind showing us your power now?"*

Jack nodded solemnly as he turned his backs to the teachers, and closed his eyes. Picturing the room in the way it was before the examination he breathed out. When he opened his eyes the room was back in perfect condition. However it felt like he had been punched in the gut. Collapsing onto his knees Jack started to cough as his chest heaved. He could hear the teachers gasps as the realized what he had done, and he slightly smiled pushing himself back to his feet. "As you can see I can change reality somewhat, but depending on how complex it is determines how much damage I take."*

A few seconds later a guard came in holding a box which shook in his hands. "Here you go sir." He said placing the box on the floor next to Jack before retreating out of the room. Jack looked down at the box, before he nodded back towards the teachers.*

"The only way for me to make this permanent however is by erasing something that will equal out my creation." Kicking the box over Jack watched as numerous rats, mice, and even squirrels rushed away. *Some of the teachers screamed or jumped onto the table, but Jack didn't worry about it. Focusing on the rodents one by one they started to disappear from existence, and the pain he felt retreated. As the last rodent was erased Jack looked towards the teachers. " Don't worry I can't erase humans naturally, it's only during complete moments of stress or fear." Jack admitted taking a bow as if he had just done a major performance.*

Hearing a little of clapping he looked towards the headmistress. "So what is the most complex thing you can create, and how long will it exist if you can't equal it out?"*

"I don't quite know yet mam, but depending on the complexity and time I could die. I've even experienced minor organ failure, but once I release the creation my body will go back to normal." Jack said as he started to collect his luggage from where he had left it.*

"Hmm I see, well would you like a partner?" The headmistress asked as Jack made his way towards the exit.*

"Sure I would, I'll leave the picking up to you though." Jack said as he left the room not feeling a bit of sorrow for the creatures he had just erased. They were nothing but ink splatters on a masterpiece that shouldn't have been there.*

Walking through the large school Jack finally found the front desk. Seeing the woman sitting there he gave her a polite wave as he approached. "Um excuse me mam, I showed up late. Would you by chance have my dorm key on hand? My names Jack Snider."*

"Yes sir we do have your key." The clerk said politely as she reached down retrieving it, and a map of the campus. "Your room is number 117." Taking the key and map Jack nodded in thanks to the women. Following the map was kind of confusing, and since hen had been eating nothing but berries, and other things he could scavenge in the wilderness for a few days he was extremely hungry. Deciding food was the most important thing he decided to go to the dining hall where he'd find a nice table to sit at by himself.*

Hikari
11-12-2013, 12:27 AM
As the bus came around the curb, a girl frantically scrambled out of the open passageway. Unaware, her foot tipped over one of the steps, and everything seemed to slow down. She felt gravity take over her body, and finally everything was back to normal.

She had just faceplanted into the ground.

The girl, Hikari, quickly got back up to her feet. She sped toward the school, not wasting any time. Stupid stupid stupid, she thought to herself, I knew I shouldn't have gone to sleep. I slept in again! She paused one moment only to look up at the school she would be attending. "Freesia High.." she whispered to herself. She then felt a sharp pain on her forehead. She automatically placed a hand on the location, and felt a sticky liquid. Blood. I can't worry about that now, I just have to get there! she urged herself.

Deciding it would be best for her to slow down as to not cause any more accidents, she slowed her pace to a steady walk. She kept telling herself, calm down, but it didn't seem to help. Her face was flushed with both embarrassment and worry. Cursed mutation, now I'm late to my new school AND my evaluations. Her eyes narrowed in frustration. Her tail flicked rapidly in anticipation, her ears flattened in humiliation. Hikari had slept in, as usual. She normally didn't let the fact bother her. She was partly cat. What did cats do? Sleep about an average of 15 hours a day. There was nothing she could do. It was an uncontrollable urge. If she didn't watch herself, she would find herself waking up several hours then when she originally was awake.

Flustered, the girl walked into the cool building. She found a desk, which a woman casually sat behind. The woman looked up at the girl carelessly, and hurriedly averted her eyes away from Hikari's. Hikari was unperturbed by this reaction. It happened frequently when first meeting someone. "I'm sorry I'm late," the mutation said apologetically. "May I have my room key?" The woman rummaged through a drawer, pulling out a key, along with a schedule and map. The number read 196. "Here," the woman mumbled, handing the key to her without bothering to look at her face. A quick thank-you was said before again Hikari was on the go.

Hikari didn't want to burden a guard with her luggage, so she carried it to the dorms. When she arrived at her room number, she opened the door with the key. No one seemed to be in there, and so Hikari flung her things on one of the beds. She then exited the room quickly, locking the door behind her.

Her pace increased in a trot, and she headed to where the map directed her to go. "Power evaluation.." she muttered, shivering slightly at the endless possibilities of what that meant. When she arrived, she was faced with a line, which she joined while looking down at the ground. She waited patiently for her name.

Without realizing it, her eyes fluttered shut. She dozed off, her ears immediately perking up so she could awaken when her name was called.

~ ~ ~

"Hikari Kendall!" an authoritative voice rang through the hall. Hikari's eyes opened as soon as her name was mentioned. She was surprised at how empty the hall seemed now that the line had diminished. There was some more students behind her, but the size had reduced from what she had originally seen. Funny how time seems to fly when you sleep.

Sweeping her waist-length white hair away from her face, the nervous girl timidly entered the evaluating room.

There was a woman who seemed quite youthful for such an older age. "You are Hikari, correct? Quite uncommon to see a mutation, and a healthy one at that," the woman commented. "Hello there. I'm the headmistress of Freesia High and right now you will be evaluated."

Deciding to leave a good impression on the headmistress, Hikari lifted her head. Her face blanked, leaving an emotionless and unreadable expression. There were companions seated beside the woman, but Hikari showed no acknowledgement toward them.

"So, from my knowledge, not only are you a mutation but have the power of light?"

"Yes ma'am," was the reply, clear and placid.

"If I may ask, when were these two powers recognized?"

Hikari paused for a moment. "Well," she began, recalling her childhood memories, "I was always a mutant when I was a baby. It wasn't until I was five that my powers of light were recognized." Her tail coiled neatly around her body at the reminiscing. "My mother came into my room and saw me turning the lights off without using the switch, and then drawing strange patterns in the darkness. Later on, when I was seven, I could temporarily create objects or even animals that could be touched or used, but only for about five minutes."

The headmistress nodded. "Is there any withdrawals to this?"

"Yes," the girl answered. "I'm a little wearied out when I make patterns out of light, but it isn't major. However, when I create objects, depending on the size, I either fall immobilized or just black out. The same is toward animals. I have no control over what happens when I make objects or animals."

There was a moment of silence, as if the headmistress was considering what Hikari should do so her powers could be evaluated. "Alright," the woman's voice finally came, shattering the silence. "If you wouldn't mind, please demonstrate both to the best of your abilites."

Hikari had no problem with this. I'll just have to be careful with the second part, she thought to herself. She was worried that she would mess up and black out during evaluations, and she didn't want another thing to add to her list of embarrassments on the first day of school.

The girl closed her eyes, breathing in and out slowly. "It's going to get a little dark in here," she warned those who were watching. Then there was absolute silence. The adults watched the girl, transfixed but also worried that her powers might fail, and that she was in fact just wasting their time. She could feel their anxious stares on her. It was explainable. There had been plenty students, she knew, who had already been evaluated.

She grasped at the invisible connection between darkness and light. Concentrate, she coaxed herself. Then she felt as if she were in nothingness. She then entwined the two entities together.

When she opened her eyes, a strange shimmer went through them, before the pupils faded. Then everything went pitch black. Uncomfortable grunts sounded through the room. But Hikari didn't hear them. She was somewhere completely different, somewhere far within her mind. The part of her mind that knew what light and darkness exactly was. Not what people saw, but what they really were.

But she couldn't control darkness. In fact, what she was doing had nothing to do with darkness. What she had done was turned off the light that had existed with the room, but it looked like darkness in the human world.

Then, she separated a small portion from the entwined entities. This light could be used and manipulated however she wanted. She thought of a design that she make with this light. A rose? she wondered. Yes, a rose. That is what she would do. This decided, she slowly drew the outline of a rose. Then she filled in that outline. She used gaps of the absence of light to make the drawing look more realistic.

She could hear impressed mumbling. Letting the moment sink in, Hikari then turned the lighting of the room back on, the pupils of her eyes returning as she looked at the awed faces of the crowd. It wasn't the strangest or amazing of powers, but it was awe-inspiring, she supposed.

"Thank you for showing that. And your second use of the power of light?"

Hikari let out a little pant. She was a bit tired. A bit of reluctance showed across her face. Knowing there was no way to avoid it, she closed her eyes once again. I'll do an animal, she figured. But which? There was an air of indecisiveness. Then Hikari figured a firefly would be best. It was the smallest yet most noticeable animal she could think of doing, so at the very least she wouldn't black out.

There was another moment of silence. She went into her mind again. This time she didn't need darkness to play its role. She just needed light, and light was what she grasped. This light was then morphed into a firefly. As before, the girl opened her eyes, devoid of pupils.

A firefly, made entirely out of light, flew around the room. There was a stunned air to the room as the observers watched the bug land on the headmistress' head. The bug didn't go through the head, but sat there delicately.

The headmistress cracked a small smile. "Thank you for showing us these skills," she said politely. The firefly dissipated into thin air after these words. Hikari slumped to the floor, managing to keep herself upright in a sitting down position. "I'm sorry," the mutation whispered. "I just need a moment to recuperate. Continue."

The headmistress decided it was best to continue on with what she had to say. "Do you believe, through some guidance of teachers, you can enhance your abilities, such as the time in which these objects last?" she questioned.

"Of course!" Hikari said, but suddenly she gasped. The exertion of excitement coursing through her body made it feel as if something had pierced through her stomach. She shuddered, squeezing her eyes shut. "And also, how about a partner?" the woman added.

Hikari merely nodded, another convulsive shudder running through her body.

"I'll go now," she mumbled. She slowly pulled her body up from the floor with a moment of hesitation. Then she left the room, her legs trembling. Once she was out the room, she slumped against the wall. I just need to rest.. she told herself, before falling asleep.

Soon it was Griffin's turn. She glanced around at everyone else as the teacher called her up before nervously hurrying in. The room had been wrecked and everyone else's powers were much more useful then hers seemed. The teacher looked down at her with a seemingly cold expression and she forced herself not to run and hide behind her brother. Everything had been set up since she had been to the other schools and they knew what she could do. They probably just wanted to see how much she had improved. Griffin glanced up at the teacher as she began to speak. "Griffin Lockharte. Do you think you have improved with your skills during the time you have been here." the lady asked with a voice that was lacking any emotion. Griffin took a shaky breath before nodding quickly. "Y-yes, I believe I have." she replied, scolding herself internally for the stutter in her voice. The teacher looked down at her and took a breath before continuing. "Shall we start now?" she asked in the same emotionless tone. Griffin hesitated before nodding uncertainly. The teacher looked over at a guy who was standing in the shadows. Griffin hadn't noticed him before but now looked over at him. He glanced at her and just as it seemed nothing would happen he quickly threw a large rock at her. Griffin raised her hand and the stone stopped before floating to the ground. This repeated with heavier and heavier objects before the teacher finally dismissed her. Griffin hurried out of the room quickly and sat against the wall near a girl who was sleeping. She was always a mess when it came to exams because the teachers seemed like they didn't care what happened to the kids. Griffin took a deep breath and relaxed a bit. It would be ok. She was fine and hopefully passed the assessment.

It was finally Caim's turn to go as Carson, who introduced himself as one of the guards called him. "Caim Radcliffe!" Immediately, He walked out to go to the evaluation hall but before that, He went to Carson first, to made a request for some items he need. "Mr. Carson," Caim called to him. He, Carson turned his attention to him and Caim continued to speak again. "May I have a Katana and two dummy targets?" He asked politely...With a nod as his confirmation, Slowly, Caim went to the great hall and after he arrived in front of the door, he opened the it and the majestic room presented itself in front of him along with many people and The headmistress of Freesia herself sitting in the middle of them.

Caim was astounded for a bit after he entered the room. It was called The Grand Hall for a reason after all. Probably, it was the most spacious room in Freesia High. His body tensed itself as the most authorative person in the room began to talk. "Caim Radcliffe...Is that your name?" She said while holding clipped pieces of paper with her hand. It was the first time for him to speak with many eyes are staring at him, though this is better rather than to be stared with disgust...like his friends did in the past.

"Y--Yes, I'm Caim Radcliffe" He frantically answered. He tried to hide it but nonetheless, he doesn't have a resistance to this kind of pressure. Seeing how tensed Caim was, The headmistress's lip formed a smile and directed it at Caim. "Relax, Caim. We're here to evaluate your power and asking a few questions. No more than that" Her relaxing words have a little effect on Caim but, the other people' stare still made him under pressure. A little nod was his response to Prudence Freesia before finally, she talked again.

"As far as we know, You have two kinds of power. The first one is appeared to be some kind of self-suggestion, where your true physical capabilities appeared when you're holding a katana and the second one is Time Manipulation...Are those correct?"

"Yes, that's correct" He answered it with a nod, again. "Then," The headmistress finally put the papers on the desk and focusing solely on Caim. "Before you begin your demonstration, can you tell us how did you get your abilities?"

"I realized my self-suggestion ability when I was training alone with a real sword I took secretly from uncle but..." After closing his eyes for a second, Caim remembered about how the events occured , second by second...pain by pain "For my ability to manipulate time, it began at a certain day when I was 10. Suddenly, my whole body was screaming in pain. In that time also, a sudden knowledge registered itself inside my brain, the knowledge about the power which caused the pain at that time. It happened because the time inside my body gone berserk and changed the biological process inside my body" It was very...Painful "That's when the first time I obtained it. With curiousity was driving me, I tried to activate it by myself and control it. As a result, I can control it to some degree, even though sometimes, it can go berserk indefinitely." And I ended up hating this curse...for making me to receive pains both physical and mental

As if she understood what Caim's heart was whispered, Freesia spoke "It must be very painful. You don't know when your ability will go hurt yourself but," She showed the same smile she gave him earlier, even the warmth she radiate was the same. Her age and her silvery white hair really made Caim remembered about his aunt back in his house. "Here in Freesia, we tried to make our students develop and control their own powers. I hope you can control your power as soon as possible"

After the conversation was over, the guards brought two target dummies which were placed in front of him and a katana in its scabbard for Caim to use. "Can you please begin the demonstration?" The headmistress prompted him. Silent was his only answer as he took battou stance. While it's true that he was hesitant at first, after thinking for a bit, he thought it would be good to be able to control his abilities like Prudence Freesia said earlier. Right now, He has no hesitation at all. In an instant he drew his sword, the first dummy target was sliced in three for a span of split seconds. It was purely his physical performance but he was already very fast. Then, he sheated his sword back to its scabbard and switched his attention to the second one. This was the time when he started to manipulate his own time. He could feel it...his muscles worked faster, his temperature rises and sweat gushes from his body. Then, he drew his katana again in the same fashion.

It was faster...faster than before. The sound of the sword being swung itself overlapped each other. It was blindingly fast compared to before. The target dummy fell to the ground after it was chopped into 5 pieces. "Excellent" The headmistress broke the silence that was made after Caim finished his demonstration. With that, the guards took the remaining of the dummies and the sword. "Thank you for the demonstration, Caim" The young boy simply nodded lightly before Prudence talked again. "Before you can leave, Caim, would you like a partner?" His eyebrows twitched a bit at that. He didn't really know how to respond to that sudden question but, a partner in a school seemed to be good for him. Why not?

"I don't mind" After that simple answer, the headmistress seemed to write something in the clipped pieces of paper earlier before finally she switched her attention back to Caim. "Thank you...now you may go" She said with an indifferent smilie like usual. Then, Caim got out from the room looking exhausted. It had already a few weeks...or months that he didn't manipulate his time. His body took the burden and pained him though he didn't show it in the grand hall earlier. He simply walked randomly around the school and find a good place to rest .

(Same as Rema...I have to go to the class right now T_T)

Hikari
11-14-2013, 10:05 PM
When Hikari awoke, her vision was hazy. She looked around sleepily, rubbing her eyes and giving a yawn much like a feline would. Suddenly the fur on her tail and ears pricked. Someone is near, she alerted herself. Blinking once to clear her vision, she looked to her side. There was a girl right next to her.

The girl had blonde hair and seemed to be around her age. The animal mix gave a blink of confusion. She hadn't been expecting someone to come sit next to her. Slowly, her fur reclined to its original position.

Again, Hikari blinked. She, having been an only child, had no communications with other people her age. She had been home schooled due to her supernatural appearance. If she hadn't had the animal appendages, she probably would have been able to attend school. But she did. Either way, she had no idea how to start a normal conversation. What should she do? she pondered, a blank expression falling onto her face as she stared at the girl unintentionally. Should I say hi? Or should I say nothing? Maybe I should get up? Maybe I should just do some form of acknowledgement?

Her mind was racing, her heart pumping in a frenzy as she tried to calm herself. She was scared, scared that this girl would find her uninteresting. She wanted interaction with others that weren't adults, even more so with others that had supernatural powers such as herself. Everyone in this school was alike through their unique "talents". There was nothing to hide.

Hikari looked to the ground, trying to make a final decision. What to do? This girl probably found her to be weird, the way she was acting. Honestly, she wouldn't blame the girl herself. She was acting weird. I'll just say a greeting. Then maybe I won't be so uptight, she figured.

Looking at the girl with a determined look in her eye, she gave a tight swallow. Then she said, with her voice trembling, "H-hello there!"

Her cheeks instantly turned rosy. Your such a fool, Hikari! she scolded herself, burying her face within her knees which were pulled to her chest. She had sounded weak and feeble. The exact opposite of the kind of voice she was aiming for.

Neutrally Chaotic
11-15-2013, 11:40 AM
Griffin looked over at the girl and noted the tremble in her voice. Griffin smiled and waved. "Hi. I'm Griffin. I hope I didn't startle you. i was just stopping to think." she said after a moment. The girl seemed nice and not too unlike Grififin. She sighed and looked up at the ceiling. She wondered if it was fine to be like this with people when their dying was a possibility. She was afraid for everyone in the school and wanted everyone to survive.
(that's all for now)

“Blake Silverstein!”
Blake had been waiting for hours to take his evaluation and during that time must have drifted off to sleep. The sound of his name startled him from his sleep and he fell out of his chair, receiving several snickers from those around him. Blake quickly composed himself and made his way over to Carson.
“Are you Blake Silverstein?” Carson asked as Blake approached him.
“Yes sir that is correct.”
“Good. Now before I send you on your way is there anything you will need during your evaluation?”
Blake thought about that for a moment. He hadn’t planned on doing anything more than a small display so he shook his head.
“No I should be fine with just myself. Thank you.”
“No problem. You can make your way to the Great Hall now for your evaluation. If you get turned around just refer to your map and you should be fine.”
Blake almost laughed at what he had said having accidentally burned up his map after receiving it. Luckily Blake knew where he was going, having explored the castle a bit, and made his way there. Blake had always hated power evaluations. He had been doing them for years at Freesia’s sister school and each time they would force him to use his powers and try to get him to push his limits. He just wished they understood how much he hated his power. The entrance to the Great Hall stood before him and he let himself in. As he made his way through the Hall he noticed the destruction that the pervious students had caused. Chunks of the wall and pieces of the pillars were scattered everywhere. Blake even noticed a hole in the ceiling where you could just make out the last bits of sunset. Blake came to a stop in front of the Board and noticed how exhausted they looked. Maybe if he was lucky they would allow him a quick demonstration and allow him to slip out. He doubted it, but it didn’t stop him from hoping. The Headmistress looked up from her paperwork and smiled upon seeing Blake standing before her.
“Hello again Blake and Welcome. As you know from past experience, with this being your what fifth evaluation now, that we always start out with a few questions regarding you and your past. If you would agree, I think we already know the answers to these questions having had you answer them numerous times before. So if you don’t mind a more informal evaluation this time around we can get you out of here in no time. So what do you say?”
Relief flooded through Blake and he agreed.
“Excellent! So before we have you demonstrate how much your powers have grown over the last year, please reiterate which abilities you currently posses and if any of these abilities are new from the previous year.”
Blake was a little disappointed that he would have to still demonstrate his abilities, but a faster evaluation was better than nothing.
“I am able to produce and manipulate the element of fire and I am able to bend shadows around me to conceal myself from other’s sight. I have always been able to manipulate fire, but the ability to bend shadows is rather new. I did mention it at our last evaluations, but it wasn’t until later that I discovered how to control it.”
“Very good. How about your control over your fire ability. If I recall you have always had a hard time controlling it. Has it gotten any better over the last year?”
“Yes it has, not much, but I have been able to control it a bit better with the help of my sister.”
“I see, that’s good. Well to start out with, why don’t you show us your new ability.”
Blake nodded, he didn’t mind demonstrating this ability since he had learned to control it rather quickly. Then again he didn’t have to worry about setting anything on fire or hurting anyone so it made the process easier. Blake made his way over to one of the pillars in the room that was casting a rather large shadow and stepped within it. Blake could feel the shadows around him, as if they were a living thing, and commanded them to envelope around him. Though Blake could not see the physical change, he could feel that he was cloaked and after a moment stepped out into the open.
“Bravo! That was most excellent! I am glad to see that you have mastered your new ability. I am sure in time you will be able to control your other ability in the same way you can control your new one. Now once you have demonstrated your other ability I think will we will be done here.” The Headmistress gestured for Blake to proceed.
Blake was always nervous when he used his ability and decided to go with something small, something he was comfortable with, and hoped it would be good enough for them. Blake held out his hand in front of him and summoned a small flame in his palm. He allowed it to grow in intensity a bit and then extinguished the flame.
“That was good Blake, but we have seen this from you multiple times. The purpose of having students demonstrate their abilities each year is so that we can gage just how much they have learned to control their ability. I cannot believe that after five years you are still unable to do more than produce a small flame in your hand.”
“It is true that I am able to do more, but I am uncomfortable doing so. If you don’t believe me you can ask my sister, but if you don’t mind I would prefer not to go any further.” It was a bold thing to say to the Headmistress, but he had to tell them the truth.
“I see.” said the Headmistress, her demeanor changing completely. “In truth I do mind. You see I established the Freesia schools as a place of refuge and a safe environment where people like us can learn to control and master their abilities. Now you have been at one of my schools for almost five years now and have been given ample resources to help you learn to control your ability. I have been lenient in the past, because I assumed you would grow out of your fear of your ability. I guess I was wrong, because here you stand still as scared as the day you first came before me. If you are not willing to take what I have to offer here at Freesia seriously, then I do not see any reason for you to continue here I am sorry. So the choice is yours.”
Blake was completely taken aback by what she had just said. It was true that Blake had let his fear for his ability hinder his mastery of it, but to threaten to throw him out.
“Please Headmistress! You can’t! Freesia has become my home! My sister attends here! If I were to leave I would have no where to go! I am sorry I have let my fear best me, but I promise I will do better from now on!” Blake was on the verge of tears. He had always thought the Headmistress had understood his fears and accepted them. He now knew better.
“I am glad you feel that way and I believe you, but in order for you to stay you must prove your conviction to us.”
“Yes anything! Just tell me what I can do!” Blake was desperate now and would do whatever they asked. He could not risk being separated from his home; his sister.
“I am glad you understand. So to prove to us you are committed to what you say, I would like you to truly demonstrate your ability for us. I know you are scared, but you will need to learn to get over your fear and maybe forcing you is a better method for you to accomplish this.”
“Ok” Blake said, physically starting to shake now. “I will do my best.”
Blake tried to compose himself, taking several deep breaths, and began to concentrate. Flames began to form around his hands and he slowly allowed them to travel up his arms. So far so good, he thought as the flames reached his shoulders. Taking his time and concentrating as hard as he had ever done before, he allowed them to travel down his back and chest. In no time the flames had reached his feet and his control over the fire had become easier. To finish off what he had started he allowed the flames to consume his head and face. Blake now stood before them as a figure cloaked in flame. Relief flooded through Blake. He couldn’t believe he managed to pull off such a feat with his ability. Maybe they were right and it just took a little force for him to finally overcome his fear. He knew it would still take time to completely get over his fear, but it was a start.
The Headmistress rose and began to clap. “I knew you had it in you! You are free to stop now, you have more than proven what you have promised so there is no reason for you to continue trying to impress us.”
Continue to impress you? Blake was confused as to what she had meant. He then noticed that his flames had grown larger. It must have happened because of all the excitement, he thought and concentrated on extinguishing the flames. Fear began to well up inside him as the flames refused to go out and continued to grow stronger.
“I said you can stop, there is no reason for you to keep pushing yourself.”
“I am trying!” Blake said, concentrating as hard as he could. “But I can’t seem to make it stop!” Fear had completely taken hold of Blake and the flames kept growing.
“Blake I need you to stop this! I never meant for you to take it this far! If you don’t stop you will soon catch the ceiling on fire!” Panic began to show on the members of the Boards faces and in the Headmistress’s voice.
“I CAN’T MAKE IT STOP!” Blake screamed and suddenly something happened that had never happened before; the flames began to burn him. Blake began to scream in agony. WHAT WAS HAPPENING! Blake thought. His flames had never hurt him before. Blake fought against the pain, he needed to warn them.
“YOU ALL NEED TO RUN! I CAN’T STOP THEM! YOU NEED TO LEAVE BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT!”
Chaos broke out as the members of the Board and the guards stationed there scrabbled to escape the Great Hall. Blake watched as the Headmistress ushered everyone out of the room and Blake tried his best to prevent the flames from growing any larger until everyone had escaped. Soon everyone had escaped, but the Headmistress lingered behind everyone, her face communicating how wrong she had been for forcing Blake to push himself so far and how sorry she was. Blake returned her look with one of his own; a look of pure hatred. Blake heard an alarm go off and watched as the Headmistress lowered her head and ducked out of the room.
Blake held on for as long as he could to allow for as many people to get as far away from him and the school as possible. Soon the pain became too much for him to handle.
Griffin…Everyone…I…Am…Sorry…
That was his last thought before allowing himself to be consumed by his ability.

Griffin and Hikari sat in silence for a bit after their awkward hello, both unsure as to what they should say to one another. It was Hikari’s stomach who decided to break the silence. Hikari looked over at Griffin, embarrassment clear upon her face, and the two of them burst out laughing.
“Well then I think someone is hungry.” Griffin said, getting up and offering Hikari her hand. “Why don’t we start heading towards the dinning hall, I heard they were going to be setting up a banquet for us to enjoy once we had finished our evaluations.”
Hikari perked up at the sound of that and graciously took Griffin’s hand.
“Sure that would be nice!”
And just like that the two of them headed for the banquet, chatting each other up along the way.


* * *

Greyson sat at a table with Thea, enjoying her company and munching on food from the banquet, when an alarm began to go off within the school.
“WHAT IS THAT?” Greyson yelled over the alarm to Thea.
“I’M NOT SURE! I THINK IT MAY BE THE FIRE ALARM OR SOMETH…”
Suddenly the entire school seemed to shake as the sound of an explosion went off. Greyson and Thea jumped to their feet and chaos seemed to erupt all around them.
“WHAT WAS THAT?!” Greyson yelled, confused and a little scared of what could be happening.
“I HAVE NO IDEA!” Thea yelled back. “BUT WE SHOULD TRY AND FIND BLAKE! HE HASN’T SHOWN UP YET!”
Neither of them had known Blake, or even each other, for very long, but in that short amount of time they had become friends. It felt wrong for either of them to not make sure he was alright. Greyson was also worried a bit for Carson, but didn’t say it out loud.
“YOUR RIGHT, WE SHOULD! IF HE HASN’T SHOWN UP YET HE IS MOST LIKELY STILL IN THE WAITING AREA! WE CAN TRY THERE FIRST!”
Thea nodded and the two of them headed off, both hoping that he was alright.


* * *

Jack had been sitting at a table alone, enjoying his second helping of food, when the chaos started. Huh, this place just keeps getting more interesting by the minute, he thought and quickly finished his food. Unsure of what was going on, he decided to follow the rest of the students and made his way out of the school.


* * *

Oscar, Alice and Aiden had all been enjoying the banquet when then alarm sounded. The three of them stood up in surprise, unsure of what was happening. Then the explosion went off and chaos erupted around them.
“WHAT IS HAPPENING?!” Aiden yelled to the other two, but Aiden could see that they were just as confused as he was.
“NO IDEA!” Alice yelled back, a wave of pain suddenly shot through her causing her to collapse to the ground. Oscar and Aiden rush to her aid and helped Alice up from the ground.
“ARE YOU OK?!” They asked, unsure of what just happened to her.
“NO I’M NOT!” Alice replied, tears pouring down her face. “THE EARTH! IT’S IN PAIN! I CAN FEEL IT! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE! I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING, BUT IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO BE HERE!”
Neither Oscar nor Aiden questioned what she had said and with that the three of them made their way out of the school.


* * *

Hazel had been having a rough day. Though she had a hard time normally with her ability, having to sense each student use their abilities was taking a toll on her. It also didn’t help that she had no idea what she was going to do during her evaluation. I mean how can you show someone something that only you yourself can experience. Hazel had retreated to a corner in the hopes of escaping the chattering students and try and dampen her ability as much as possible. She had managed to get it somewhat under control until suddenly a massive surge of energy appeared. She tried to block it out, but the intensity of it kept growing. The energy felt familiar to her, but she couldn’t quite figure out who it belonged too. Then she heard a loud noise go off, an alarm she guessed, and the room around her turned to chaos. Hazel got up, confused as to what was happening, and tried her best to find a way out of the room, but was having a hard time concentrating as the energy kept getting stronger. Then the explosion happened and Hazel collapsed to the floor, the sudden burst of energy overwhelming her.


* * *

After exploring the castle a bit, Caim decided he would start heading towards the banquet since he was beginning to feel famished. He was about half way there when a pair of girls, well a girl and what appeared to be a cross between a girl and a cat, came around the corner. Caim, trying to be more open to meeting new people, decided to introduce himself.
“Hi, I’m Caim. Are you guys heading to the banquet as well?”
The two girls stopped talking, having just then taken notice of Caim standing in front of them, and introduced themselves as well.
“Hi I’m Griffin and this is Hikari. As a matter of fact we are, would you like to join us?”
Caim was taken aback by how straight forward she was, but was relieved that they didn’t ignore him.
“Sure and thank you for asking. I was just about to ask you the same thin….”
Caim was silenced as an alarm began to sound around them.
“WHAT IS THAT?!” Caim yelled over the alarm.
“I’M NOT SURE!” Griffin yelled back. “MAYBE IT’S THE FIR…”
Suddenly they heard something that sounded like an explosion and the school shook around them.
“I DON’T LIKE THIS! I THINK WE SHOULD GET OUT OF HERE!” Hikari yelled.
“I THINK YOUR RIGHT!” Caim agreed with her. Whatever was going on it was probably best if they got out of the school as soon as possible.
“YOUR RIGHT WE SHOULD, BUT YOU TWO GO ON WITHOUT ME! I HAVE TO FIND MY BROTHER AND MAKE SURE HE IS ALRIGHT! CAN YOU MAKE SURE HIKARI GETS OUT OF THE SCHOOL. SHES JUST ARRIVED TODAY AND HASN‘T HAD TIME TO FIND HER WAY AROUND!”
“OK, BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL! YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING!”
Hikari gave Griffin a quick hug. “YES PLEASE BE CAREFUL! I WOULD HATE FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO MY NEW FRIEND!”
Griffin nodded to the two of them and they split up and went in different directions.


* * *

Carson had been waiting to hear word of when he should send in the next student when the alarm sounded around him. Carson knew that alarm, he had been informed about the different alarms during his training to become a guard, and quickly sprang into action. That alarm meant the school was in danger and that evacuation of the facility was to happen immediately; they were under a Code Red.
“EVERYONE PLEASE FOLLOW ME. WE NEED TO EVACUATE THE SCHOOL AS QUICKLY AND AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.”
Suddenly the sound of an explosion could be heard and the school shook around them. Chaos erupted around him and he knew it would only escalate if he did not get the students under control quickly.
“I KNOW EVERYONE IS SCARED, BUT I MUST ASK YOU TO PLEASE CALM DOWN AND FOLLOW ME! THE MORE YOU COOPERATE THE SAFER AND EASIER THIS WILL BE!”
The students seemed to hear him and a bit of order began to ascend within the room.
“OK EVERYONE STAY CLOSE AND FOLLOW ME!”


* * *

Rose and Leo had been going over what they were going to do during their evaluations when the alarm sounded. They both stood up as Carson called for the students to follow him and having never heard this alarm go off before, decided it was best not to argue. Suddenly the room began to shake around them and what sounded like an explosion could be heard. Rose was about to follow Leo when she saw Hazel suddenly collapse behind her. Not wanting to leave anyone behind, she called after Leo and quickly rushed to her side.
“WHATS WRONG WITH HER?” Leo asked.
“I DON’T KNOW. SHE JUST SUDDENLY COLLAPSED. HERE HELP ME CARRY HER. SHES STILL UNCONCIOUS AND WE CAN’T JUST LEAVE HER BEHIND.”
Leo nodded and the two of them got Hazel to her feet.
“HERE I CAN CARRY HER. SHE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SHE WAYS MUCH.”
“NO WE CAN CARRY HER TOGETHER. I DON’T DOUBT YOU CAN CARRY HER YOURSELF, BUT WE HAVE A WAYS TO GO AND YOU WILL TIRE QUICKLY. ANYWAYS IT WILL BE QUICKER IF WE CARRY HER TOGETHER.”
Leo couldn’t argue with her logic and knew it would be no use trying to argue with her. So the two of them draped her arms around their shoulders and made their way in the direction the other students had went.


* * *

Carson lead the students as quickly as he could towards the exit and hoped that Greyson had managed to find his way out of the school. Carson knew it was silly to be thinking of some boy he had just met during such a crisis, but there was something about him that made it hard to get him out of his head. He decided to not let himself worry and to focus on the task at hand. They rounded a corner and everyone stopped dead. Everything before them had gone up in flames. Carson thought it was odd how up until now they had not smelled any smoke to indicate a fire, but then noticed the holes in the ceiling where the smoke was escaping. He knew they needed to proceed faster and noticed the hall he had wanted to take had yet to be effected by the fire. He knew it would be dangerous, especially if the fire had spread further down or even cut them off from behind, but it was their best chance at evacuating.
“OK EVERYONE YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME! I KNOW THE WAY LOOKS DANGEROUS, BUT IT IS OUR BEST CHANCE TO GET OUT OF HERE. PLEASE STAY CLOSE TO THE WALL AND PROCEED AS QUICKLY AND CAREFULLY AS POSSIBLE!”
Carson led the way so as to not confuse anyone and the students followed.


* * *

http://i41.tinypic.com/2ijpxfd.jpg

By Blake suppressing his ability to allow for those within the hall to escape, a massive amount of energy became stored within him and upon relinquishing his control caused all that energy to release at once. The result was catastrophic. As if he were a star going nova, flames exploded from him in all directions. The Great Hall was quickly consumed in flames and began to collapse all around him, but the flames did not stop there. With the Great Hall no longer capable of holding the fire within itself, it quickly began to spread to the rest of the school; traveling along the roof tops and down the halls of the school. Had Carson known how quickly the fire had spread, he may have chosen a different path, but it was too late. The fire had not just reached where they had just passed, but had spread to the roof above them. The ceiling, unable to support the weight of the now collapsing school, gave way and landed on those who had not made it around the corner in time. Among those was Lily Powell, Tori Nunez, and Valerie White.


* * *

Rose and Leo, with Hazel in tow, made their way as fast as possible down the halls toward the group. Rose heard someone call out, most likely Carson though she didn’t quite hear what they had said, and was thankful they had almost caught up to the group. Rose and Leo rounded the corner and just as the ceiling came crashing down upon the group. Rose tried to use her ability, but with horror of it all and Hazel occupying her main hand, she couldn’t react fast enough. She just stood, the horror of what just happened freezing her in place. She could hear screaming, unsure if it was from those who were caught beneath the rubble or from the group beyond, and couldn’t understand what was happening. She suddenly heard Leo calling out to her.
“ROSE WE NEED TO GO BACK! THE WAY FORWARD IS BLOCKED AND THE OTHER WAY IS TOO DANGEROUS! I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WAS TERRIBLE, BUT IF WE DON‘T GO NOW THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN TO US!”
Rose nodded at Leo, tears streaming down her face, and the three of them made their way back the way they had come.


* * *

Carson watched in horror as the ceiling came crashing down upon the group. He rushed forward, ushering to the students to keep moving, and tried to see if anyone had been injured or trapped. Carson was forced to retreat, the fire had quickly begun to spread and prevented him from getting close, but from what he could see it didn’t look like anyone had survived. Unable to stomach the sight any longer, for it was his decision that had caused those children to lose their lives, he turned around and quickly caught up with the rest of the group; leading them to safety.


* * *

Griffin ran as fast as she could towards the waiting area, hoping to either find her brother along the way or discover that he had made it out safely. As she ran she thought she smelled smoke, but not seeing anything she chalked it up to her mind playing tricks on her with everything that was happening. She made her way to the waiting area and found it empty. Blake must have left with the others, she thought and decided to continue the other way and see if she could catch up with the others since no one had pasted her as she made her way here. She made her way down the hall a ways and as she turned a corner she saw two people carrying someone coming quickly in her direction.
“WHAT HAPPENED?!” She asked, running up to them and noticed it was Hazel being carried. “IS SHE OK?!” Griffin looked at the two people, waiting for one of them to answer her when Leo spoke up.
“SHES FINE. SHE COLLAPSED, BUT HASN‘T REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS YET.”
Griffin was relieved to hear that nothing bad had happened to her.
“HAVE EITHER OF YOU SEEN MY BROTHER?! HIS NAME IS BLAKE! LAST TIME I SAW HIM HE HAD BEEN WAITING TO BE CALLED FOR HIS EVALUATION!”
Rose spoke up this time.
“NO WE HAVEN’T, BUT A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE THE ALARM SOUNDED HE HAD BEEN CALLED TO DO HIS EVAULATION.”
“THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT HAZEL GETS OUT ALRIGHT!”
Griffin had begun to continue on when Leo stopped her.
“YOU CAN’T GO THAT WAY! THE CEILING COLLAPSED BLOCKING ANY MEANS OF ESCAPING.”
“HOW DID THE CEILING COLLAPSE?” Griffin asked, trying to figure out what had happened.
“SOMETHING CAUSED THE SCHOOL TO CATCH FIRE! SO WE NEED TO HURRY! IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE THE FIRE CATCHES UP TO US!”
No, she thought and Blake popped into her head. He couldn’t have caused this. Sure it was true he had a hard time controlling his ability, but he wouldn’t allow it to get so out of control that it would cause the school to catch fire.
“I WOULDN’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR BROTHER! I AM SURE HE IS ALRIGHT!”
Of course no one knew that for sure, but she would just have to believe she was right. Griffin was about to say something more when behind them a chunk of the ceiling collapsed and flames exploded from the debris quickly spread in all directions.
“WE NEED TO GO NOW! THE FIRE IS SPREADING TOO QUICKLY AND MUST BE TRAVELING ALONG THE ROOF SO THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN OR WHERE THE CEILING COULD COLLAPSE NEXT!”
With Griffins help the four of them quickly made their way towards the exit.


* * *

Greyson and Thea ran as fast as they could towards the waiting area and about half way there Thea stopped them.
“DO YOU SMELL SMOKE?” Thea asked, sniffing the air.
Greyson sniffed the air too, “I’M NOT SURE. I THINK SO.”
“WELL I SMELL IT, BUT I DON’T SEE IT. EITHER WAY WHEN YOU SMELL SMOKE THAT USUALLY MEANS THERE’S A…” Neither one of them finished that sentence because in that moment they both thought the same thing. Blake.
“WE NEED TO HURRY!” Thea said and they both pressed on.


* * *

Smoke was starting to become a problem. Rose, Leo, and Griffin continued on as fast as they could, even though they were beginning to tire and smoke was starting to make it hard for them to breath, for the fire was starting to spread faster now and was quickly gaining on them.


* * *

As Greyson and Thea got closer to the waiting area it became pretty evident by the amount of smoke that somewhere the school was burning.
“THEA WE MAY NEED TO START HEADING BACK SOON. THE SMOKE IS GETTING PRETTY THICK AND IS MAKING IT HARD TO BREATH.”
Greyson was right. The smoke had become increasing thicker and there was no telling what lay ahead of them, but neither of them was willing to give up just yet. They pressed on a little further and stopped when they saw shapes emerge further down from the smoke. Greyson readied himself in case these people meant them harm, but stopped when he realized it was just other students.
“WHAT’S HAPPENING?! ARE YOU GUYS ALRIGHT?!” Thea called to them as they ran to meet them.
“THERE IS NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!” The girl in front said and a large crash sounded as another piece of the ceiling collapsed behind them.
Thea recognized the girl, Griffin, as being Blake’s sister.
“HAVE YOU SEEN BLAKE?! IS HE OK?!”
“I DON’T KNOW, I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FIND HIM BUT, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! THE FIRE IS SPREADING FASTER NOW AND AS YOU JUST SAW THE SCHOOL IS CRUMBLING AROUND US.”
Thea didn’t press the matter further, for what choice did they have now, but to evacuate. She just had to hope that wherever Blake was that he was safe. Thea and Greyson took over carrying Hazel, since Rose and Leo had reached their limits, and the five of them continued on. They had barely made it a few feet when a large rumbling sound reverberated above them and the ceiling came crashing down.


* * *

Leo was exhausted and was thankful when the other two decided to take over carrying Hazel. Though he knew they didn’t have far to go now, it still felt miles away. The group set out again and due to his exhaustion began to fall behind a bit. Leo suddenly heard something above him and noticed the ceiling begin to buckle and break right above them. Adrenaline coursed through him and with one final burst of energy he ran forward and shoved his sister, knocking her and the rest of the group out of harms way, as the ceiling came crashing down upon him.


* * *

“LEO!!!” Rose screamed and ran towards the flaming debris.
Greyson sprang up and ran for her, grabbing her before she got caught too close. Rose resisted him, but he held her tight even though she kicked him and clawed at his arms.
“LET GO OF ME!” She screamed. “WE NEED TO GET HIM OUT! HE COULD STILL BE ALIVE!”
Greyson felt for her, but he knew there was nothing they could do. He was gone.
“Stop. He’s gone. I’m sorry, but there‘s nothing we can do for him now.”
Rose wouldn’t listen to him. Deep down she knew he was right, but she couldn’t accept it. She had to at least try and save him. Unable to fight him off in her weakened state, she summoned up her power and hit Greyson full force with it, sending him flying away from her. She took her chance and ran towards the debris again. She had almost made it when someone had grabbed her by the arm and yanked her backwards. Rose, full of rage, turned to see who had stopped her and stood face to face with Griffin. “DON’T..” She started to say, but was cut off as Griffin slapped her across the face, stunning her.
“YOU NEED TO STOP THIS! I KNOW YOU ARE HURTING RIGHT NOW, BUT LEO IS GONE! THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR HIM ANYMORE! LEO SACRIFICED HIMSELF SO THAT WE STILL HAD A CHANCE TO ESCAPE THIS PLACE AND LIVE! ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LET HIS SACRIFIC GO TO WASTE!?”
She was right. Leo had sacrificed himself to save them and she wasn’t going to let that go to waste.
“I’m sorry…”
“I know, but we really do need to get out of here. There is no telling when the ceiling could cave in again.”
Rose nodded and gave Greyson an apologetic look. He smiled at her, silently communicating his forgiveness and the six of them continued on; safely escaping the school.

The sight of the school burning down was a dreadful one. For most, Freesia High had become their new home and a place where no one judged them for being who or what they were. Many of the students managed to escape, but it soon became evident that many did not. Students wandered the grounds trying to find their friends and love ones to make sure they were alright. Among those students was Griffin. She had been searching the grounds for over an hour now trying to find her brother. Fear that something had happened to him continued to grow as each group she visited told her the same thing; that no one had seen him. Unsure of what else more she could do at the present, and hoping he would eventually find her himself, she decided to return to her group of friends, which after everything that had happened she now considered them, and see if Hazel had awoken and could possible help locate him.


* * *

As Griffin approached her friends, she noticed that the group had managed to almost double in size since she had left them. She recognized a few of them, but for the most part many of them she did not. One she did recognize however almost barreled her over upon seeing her.
“Oh thank goodness you are alright. After hearing what happened and not being able to find you I was worried something might have happened.” Hikari said, wrapping Griffin in a massive hug.
Griffin returned the hug. “I’m sorry if I worried you, but I am alright. Thank you. How are you doing? Did you make it out alright?”
Hikari let go and pulled Griffin towards the group. “Yes! After you left Caim and I were able to make it out before anything bad happened.”
“Has anyone found out exactly what happened?” So far Griffin hadn’t been able to find out anything as to why the school suddenly caught fire. She heard rumors from the different students, but in the end no one knew for sure. Even the teachers didn’t seem to know and if they did they weren’t saying anything.
“No one knows for sure, but the teachers did assure us a while ago that it wasn’t an attack on the school. They didn’t say what had caused it, but that once we were clear of the school that we were safe. Oh and while you were gone Hikari was able to meet a bunch of new people!” They had reached the group by then and Hikari decided to fill her in on all the new arrivals. “Hey everyone look who I found! So in case you guys haven’t met already this is my friend Griffin!”
Griffin and the few she knew silently said their hellos and decided to allow Hikari to introduce them even though they had already met.
“Now Griffin this is Greyson, Thea, Oscar, Alice, Aiden, you met Caim, and over there” She pointed to two people a little farther away from the group “is Rose and Hazel. Rose wanted to be alone right now, I guess she lost someone in the fire and Hazel is still sleeping.” Griffin said hello to everyone.
“I take it you weren’t able to find him?” Greyson asked.
“Wait you guys already know each other?! I‘m sorry!” Hikari asked, embarrassment clear on her face.
Everyone laughed at this, though you could tell it was a bit strained with everything that had happened.
“It’s ok Hikari you were only trying to be nice and I only know a few of them so your introduction was helpful. Anyways no I wasn’t able to find him, but I came back to see if Hazel had woken up yet. I thought if anyone could find him it would be her.”
“That’s a good idea and I’m sorry that you weren’t able to find him. I am sure he will turn up eventually. Hazel began to stir a little while ago, but hasn’t actually woken up yet. Rose wanted to be alone and volunteered to watch over Hazel until she woke up. Their over there if you want to go see them.”
Griffin expressed her thanks, excused herself and made her way over to Rose and Hazel.


* * *

Greyson watched as Griffin headed off in the direction of Rose and Hazel and noticed someone else in the distance; Carson. Wanting to make sure he was alright, since he hadn’t seen him since everything had happened, he excused himself and made his way over to him.


* * *

Carson noticed Greyson coming his way and started running towards him. After escaping the school and making sure everyone was alright, he had spent the last few hours searching for him to see if he was ok. Carson reached him and nearly knocked him over as he wrapped him in an embrace. Carson pulled back and looked at Greyson. “Are you ok? Were you hurt?”
Greyson looked up at him and smiled. “No I’m ok. What about you?”
Carson released him and looked at the ground.
Greyson could tell he didn’t want to talk about it and pulled Carson into another embrace, feeling his body shudder as he began to cry. Greyson held him tight and assured him it was ok. After a moment of standing like that, Carson pulled back a little bit and kissed him. Greyson was taken by surprised by this, for he had never kissed another man before, but he didn’t pull away. Carson pushed Greyson off of him and shook his head. “No. We can’t do this, it’s wrong.” He said, wiping the tear from his eyes.
Greyson was confused and hurt. He didn’t understand what he had done wrong. It had been Carson who had kissed him.
“What did I do?” Greyson asked and took a step towards him.
Carson backed away from him. “Please don‘t, we can’t do this. I shouldn’t have kissed you it was wrong of me.”
“Why was it wrong?” Greyson asked, confused.
“Because,” He said. “You are only seventeen and I am twenty one. It would be wrong.”
Greyson laughed at that suddenly realizing something.
“Why is that funny?” Carson asked, confused.
“Because what just happened wasn’t wrong by any means.”
“What do you mean? Of course it was wrong. I shouldn’t have kissed you knowing that you were underage.”
“But that’s just it.” Greyson said stepping closer to Carson. “I’m not seventeen anymore. With everything that has happened I never got a chance to tell anyone what tomorrow, well today now, was.”
Carson still didn’t understand, so Greyson continued.
“Today is my birthday.” With that said, Greyson leaned in and kissed Carson.


* * *

Griffin could tell that Rose wasn’t up for talking, so instead of saying anything decided to just sit down next to her and watch over Hazel with her. They sat that way for a while, neither saying anything, until Rose decide to finally say something.
“Thank you for before. I know I was acting irrational, but at that time I just..”
“It’s ok I understand there’s no need for you to explain.” Griffin reached out and grabbed her hand. “I know if our roles were reversed you would have done the same.” Rose squeezed her hand and the two of them continued to watch Hazel and taking comfort in each others presence. Not long after Hazel began to stir again and the two of them jumped up and went to her side.
“Hey there sleepy head” Griffin said, stroking Hazel’s hair and taking her hand.
“What happened?” Hazel said groggily and opened her eyes. Griffin and Rose helped her sit up and rose decided to run over and inform everyone that she had woken up finally.
“A lot has happened since you collapsed.” Griffin filled Hazel in on the details.
Hazel covered her mouth in shock and looked over at the still burning school. “How long had I been out for?!”
“You were unconscious for a few hours. You had everyone worried, no one could figure out what had happened to you. Do you remember what happened to you? Were you hurt?”
Hazel shook her head and wiped the tears that had started to fall from her eyes. “No I’m fine and I just have a headache is all. I am sorry for being a burden and worry everyone. I hope my collapsing didn’t cause anyone too much trouble or cause anyone to get hurt.”
Griffin laughed at this. Even after everything she was still more worried about everyone else instead of herself. “No Hazel you weren’t, but do you remember what happened?”
“Sort of,” Hazel said, trying to recall the last thing she remembered. “I remember trying to calm my ability down due becoming overwhelmed with everyone using their abilities during their evaluations. Then a boy was called to do his, I don’t remember his name, but during his evaluation he must have pushed himself too far or overdid it with his ability because the last thing I remember was a giant surge of energy and then darkness. I’m sorry if that wasn’t very helpful, but that is all I remember.”
Griffins heart dropped after hearing Hazel speak and the fear for her brother returned in full force. Rose had said earlier that Blake had been the last person to be called to go for his evaluation. She pressed Hazel further, having to discover if it had been her brother she had felt or not.
“This boy who’s energy overwhelmed you. Do you remember anything about him? Do you remember anything else?!” Griffin asked, desperation starting to creep into her voice.
“N-No I’m sorry I don’t..”
“Please Hazel concentrate! Was it Blake! Was it my brother you felt!” Griffin was on the verge of tears.
Hazel was starting to become upset, but she tried her hardest to remember anything else. Then she remembered the boy’s energy. It had reminded her of someone at the time, but she couldn’t recall who. Until now.
“I do remember something more. The boy’s energy, at the time it had reminded me of someone, but I couldn’t remember who it was. Now I do. It was you. That boy’s energy was almost exactly like yours, which is odd since each person has their own unique energy. I also remember you telling me you had a twin brother, which would make sense why they were so much alike. So yes I do believe it was your brother’s energy that I felt.”
Griffin let go of Hazel and stared at the ground. It had been Blake who had started the fire. Something must have caused him to push himself because he never would have let himself lose control on purpose. Then she remembered that he was unaffected by his own fire and a glimmer of hope returned to Griffin.
“Where is he? Can you sense him now?”
Griffin watched as Hazel’s face dropped and tears began to fall from her eyes.
“No..” Griffin said and got to her feet.
“There is something else…” Hazel said, not wanting to say it but knew she had too. “When I felt that surge of energy, it wasn’t just his powers energy I felt, but his life energy.”
Griffin took a step backwards and shook her head. She didn’t want to hear anymore.
“I’m sorry Griffin, but no one could have survived releasing that much energy all at once.”
“NO!” Griffin screamed and ran into the darkness.


* * *

Thea had just heard from Rose about Hazel when she heard Griffin scream and looked up in time to see her run off into the darkness. Greyson must have heard her scream as well because he came running up to her, with Carson in tow.
“What happened?!” Greyson asked, slightly out of breath.
“I don’t know” Thea said worried. “But I think we should go and find out.”
“I know what happened.” Hazel said and explained to them what had done down between her and Griffin.
“No…” Thea said, tears streaming down her face. She knew something must have happened to Blake after Griffin hadn’t been able to locate him, but she never expect this.
Greyson wrapped his arm around Thea and comforted her. Greyson couldn’t believe what he had heard either, but knew right now they needed to go and find Griffin. “We need to go after her.”
Thea pulled away and wiped her face. “Your right we should. She’s upset and not thinking clearly. We don’t need her accidentally hurting herself.”
“I’ll go with you too.” Rose said.
“Are you sure?” Greyson asked, not wanting to bring up Leo.
“Yes. I know what she is going through right now and might be able to help. Also I owe her after what she did for me back when…”
Greyson nodded and turned to Carson and Hazel. “Can you two stay behind and inform the others of what has happened and what we went to do?”
“Sure” said Carson, understanding that they needed to do this alone.
“Good luck and tell Griffin I am sorry.” Hazel said, clearly upset with everything that had happened.
“I will and thank you.” Hazel flashed him a quick smile and the two of them headed over to where the others were at.
“Alright let’s go find Griffin.”


* * *

Griffin didn’t know where she was going, but she did know she wanted to get as far away from everything as she possibly could. She didn’t want to think about what she had just heard, all she wanted to do was run and run she did. She had made it about a mile before she tripped over her feet and came crashing to the ground. She didn’t feel like getting herself up so instead decided to lay there and weep. Griffin couldn’t wrap her mind around the thought of her brother dying. They had been together since birth. She couldn’t remember a time when they hadn’t been together, but now she was all alone. Anger started to well up inside of her. She couldn’t understand what would possess him to allow for his ability to go so out of control. Why would he be so foolish! Suddenly a small flame burst from her hand. She sat and stared at the flame dancing in her palm. She didn’t understand what was happening. She had never been able to control fire before, that had always been Blake’s ability. Griffin just sat there and watched the flame, unable to think anymore, and cried.


* * *

It took them a while, for Griffin had covered a lot of ground, but eventually they were able to catch up to Griffin. They stopped a little ways from her, not wanting to bombard her all at once, and decided it would be best for Rose to talk to her first. Rose walked over to Griffin and stopped next to her.
“I didn’t know you could control fire.”
“I can’t..” Griffin said, closing her hand and extinguishing the flame. “At least I never used to be able to until now. Blake had always been the one with the ability to control fire. I must have somehow inherited it when he…” Griffin stopped and continued to stare at her closed hand.
“We heard what happened.” She said and crouched down next to Griffin.
Griffin didn’t say anything. Rose understood. She had just lost Leo and wasn’t ready to talk about it either, but for Griffin she would.
“I know what you are going through.”
“We all do.” Thea and Greyson decided to join them.
“Do you? Do any of you?” Griffin looked up at Rose. “Leo wasn’t your brother, he was your cousin. It’s not the same thing.”
Rose was taken aback by what Griffin had said. “I never said it was.”
She turned to Greyson and Thea. “And you two barely even knew him. Blake was more than just my brother, he was my twin brother. How could any of you possibly understand what it feels like to lose someone you have known since birth. Why don’t you all just get out of here and leave me alone.”
“I know your in pain right now, but there is no reason for you to take it out on Rose or any of us.” Thea crouched down and looked Griffin in the eyes, tears streaming down her face. “It is true that Rose, or even the rest of us, cannot fully understand what you are going through, but to trivialize our pain is wrong. Sure Leo wasn’t Rose’s brother and we had only known Blake for a short period of time, but that doesn’t mean we feel any less.”
Rose stood up and started to walk away, but stopped. “You know what I don’t need to stay here at listen to this anymore. I came to pay you back for what you did for me back at the school, but the truth is, if it hadn’t been for your brother none of this would have happened. Freesia High would still be standing and Leo and the others would not have died.”
“Rose…” Thea said, but she ignored her and walked away.
Griffin just sat there stunned. She had been so blinded by grief that she didn’t think of what Blake had done. She still didn't know what had caused Blake to lose control, but nevertheless he is the reason for everything that had happened.
“Don’t listen to her Griffin she…” Thea tried to say something, but Griffin cut her off.
“She’s not wrong and she has a right to be mad. I love Blake and I can’t believe he is gone, but Blake knew full well how unstable his ability was and for whatever reason he allowed himself to lose control over it. I don‘t believe he did it on purpose, but in the end his decision cost everyone dearly.”
Greyson extended his hand and helped Griffin to her feet.
“Thank you and I am sorry for the way I treated the two of you. I shouldn't have tried to make you feel any differently than you do.”
“It’s alright we forgive you.” Thea said and Greyson agreed with her.
“I guess I should also apologize for the actions committed by my brother.”
“There is no reason for you to have to do that.” Greyson said. “It wasn’t your fault.”
“Thanks you, but I have a feeling I will be having to apologize a lot for it soon enough once word gets out. If you don’t mind, I would like to stay here a bit longer with you guys before we head back. I would like a little more time to remember my brother for who he was and not for what he has done because once we get back I doubt many will have anything nice to say about him.”
“Sure. I think we would both like that as well.”
So the three of them laid under the stars for a while, remembering Blake fondly, and for a moment forgetting what would await them when they returned.


* * *

It didn’t take long for the news of what had happened that night to spread among the students. Many of the students remained silent as they past, but a few of them had no problem telling them how they felt. Griffin ignored them, but you could tell that it was getting to her. They arrived where the others were, Rose was no where in sight, and were greeted with open arms. Everyone gave Griffin their condolences, whether they meant them or not, and soon everyone was discussing what would happen now that Freesia High was no longer standing.
“So Carson, any ideas as to what lies in store for us now that Freesia High is no longer standing?”
Carson contemplated saying anything, since he shouldn't be discussing school matters with anyone outside of the guard or it’s faculty, but after everything that happened he saw no harm in telling them what he knew.
“I might actually. I heard there were protocols set in place in the event that one of the Freesia Schools were to come under attack or if they were forced to shut down the school for any reason. Whether this is true or not I cannot say, but I don’t believe they would have gone through the trouble of creating a place for people like yourselves without having some form of backup plan in place.”
“What do you think it is?”
“As you know the Freesia School System has never been kept secret from the public. If I had to guess, I believe they have another facility somewhere where the public does not know about it. Then again this is all speculation, we will just have to wait and find out.”

General Hanson stared out on the horizon and watched as the world descended into twilight around them.
“Sir!” One of the guards approached and saluted him.
“Were you able to retrieve all the bodies?” The General asked, not bother to take his eyes off of the setting sun.
“Yes Sir!“
“Even the one I specifically asked you to retrieve,“
“Yes Sir, but there is something you should know about that one.”
This caught the Generals attention and he turned and looked at the guard, waiting for him to answer.
“Well? What is it?”
“When we pulled the body from the rubble, they were still alive.”
“Alive?! Are you sure about that?”
“Yes Sir! We had one of the medics check just to make sure. What did you want us to do with him?”
“Nothing. I will see to this matter personally. Inform the others to transport the bodies to the location like planned.”
“Yes Sir!”
The General smiled. Things were turning out better than expected.
