||Personality||
Matthew is a rather in touch with his feminine side. Not in the flamboyant, in love with shopping, and whores around. More in the needs attention, likes to go on dates, and doesn't have sex on the first date time. He is very in touch with his emotions to the point that he tends to attract more female than male friends. The only problem with being as emotional as he is. Assholes take advantage of his feelings. They mess with him. Use him. Discard him. In that order. Unfortunately Matthew is also rather trusting. He has been hurt more than enough times.

He is very caring and compassionate when it comes to things he loves. Like his music or his friends. Matthew spends many hours a day talking to his friends, planning his day with them, or doing something with music. When he is alone in his room, he usually is playing guitar or drum set. He will randomly sing around his house and he will sing to his baby sister when she needs someone to sing to her.

Matthew has a problem with people that lie to him or confuse him. He doesn't go back to people that lie to him the first time. He learns his lesson about them and tries to move on. Another wall gets built up and he continues on with his day. Matt does have a serious problem with those that confuse him. It's when they confuse his emotions. If he hates them one day and loves them the next that is when he confronts them. He isn't a afraid to get in a confrontation because of how he feels. Matthew would prefer to avoid it all together though.

Besides his emotional and feminine side, he loves to have fun. Matthew likes performing at parties, hanging out, and causing a bit of trouble. Not enough to get him in too much trouble, but enough to make life interesting.

||History||
Matthew Able Jacker. Born eighteen years ago to a Mr. Micheal Jacker and a Mrs. Amanda Jacker. They were a very unusual couple in the neighborhood they were in. Everyone around them seemed to be conservative Catholics while they were liberal atheists. During the neighborhood discussion meeting or school board sessions, they seemed to have their opinion disregarded. They had no problem with boys and girls going to the same school. They didn't have a problem with single mothers attending PTA meetings without the presence of a male guardian. Unfortunately Matthew was raised was raised up in this neighborhood. At least through his middle school years.

At an early age he figured out that he was into the same gender. It wasn't hard to figure out. Girls to him were icky when he thought about holding their hands. But he would hold any boys hand any day. It was problem for him during school. He was bullied for a long time. It wasn't just name calling. He had a lot of calls home about fights he had been in. He took the time out of his day when he wasn't being bullied to practice with music. It was a way of releasing in his feelings in a way that people thought was cool. He learned to sing, play the guitar, and play the drums. When he got a baby sister, he happily would play for her when ever she pointed to the guitar.

The end of eighth grade was the final straw fro the Jacker family. Matthew had been in more than enough fights and the parents had a problem with the way the school administrators were handling it. But the thing that got him out of school was when he discovered his ability. He got into a fight and ended up poisoning a kids drink. The kid was sent to the hospital and pumped. Everyone blamed Matt and his parents defended him through the expulsion. So he went to a different school and got a better reputation. Matthew the musician. He likes the friends here much better, but he still fears people bullying him.

So begins...

Ophelia saw that she had clothes and things in the bathroom already. Her muse must be looking out for her. Stripping down to her birthday suit, she turned on the shower water. It needs to be scolding hot for her to be able to feel it. A side effect to her element being fire. She sat there waiting for the steam to clog up the room. Once she could no longer see herself in the mirror, she took a long necessary shower. She took the time to think about her best friend. And then think about her boyfriend. And then she thought about whether or not she take the extra time to wash her hair as well. That decision was made rather quickly. By the end her hair smelled like strawberries. Miss Landers turned off the water and stepped out of the tub. She wiped the steam off the mirror and saw the reflection of a tiny blue wisp. Rolling her eyes, she moved it so that it was in front of her. "By later I meant, when I was dressed." "You were taking too long." The pyromaniac went back to drying her hair. "Well you have until I get dressed to explain what and who you are." Ophelia walked away from the mirror to grab her undergarments. The wisps just stayed by the mirror annoyed by the time limit. "I am your muse. Fire. We are named by your ability. I wish you had a nice ability though. Like Nathan. Having the name Time is better than Fire." Ophelia glared at the wisp.

"Is that it?" Ophelia slipped on a skirt and brushed her hair out. She didn't want water dripping down the back of shirt. The wisp did not appreciate the attitude. "That's no way to talk to your muse." The tiny, helpless looking blue flame claimed. Ophelia giggled. "You are not intimidating. Damian doesn't scare me. You definitely don't scare me." The wisp knew Damian and just backed off. "Well fine. You are free I guess." Ophelia put the shirt on and smiled. Without another word she left the bathroom in search of her boyfriend and her bagel. It wasn't long before she strolled into the kitchen which was surprisingly full of people.

Greyson chuckled and winked at Remi. At least he was trying to flirt, which was a semi good sign. Luckily, they didn't have to go to school. The last thing they needed was to have class. Willow seemed to be doing alright too. She was in a semi-dangerous state the last time he saw her. Lucas clearly had no idea what was going. All three of them were curious to know about Kelsey. "I didn't know my princess was so popular. She is with my muse. But I am about to go get her so that she can eat breakfast." He said so nonchalantly. He trusted Celeste so he trusted the muse. "And as soon as she comes down of course you can play with her Lucas." Kelsey would like having someone to color and stuff with. Then he looked at Remi. "But does my other princess want breakfast? Eric made eggs and bacon. And I made waffles and pancakes." He would get Willow food too if she really wanted some, but he was just really concerned for his best friend.

Eric wash his hands and slightly glared at Ezra when he nudged him. Way to be subtle. The two also agreed to look for his younger sibling and he was quite grateful for that. He was going to force her to go to school whether she wanted to go or not. Not that he really cared if she didn't want to go. School would be good for her and her dyslexia. Delaney and Ezra left for fruit. Nathan appeared and complimented his cooking. Eric just laughed. "I'm more Rachel Ray." They were only messing around of course. Eric doesn't really cook. He usually just buys food. Evie doesn't seem to mind.

Matthew smiled softly at Cami as she went to set the table. He was just trying to be polite. But he was having a hard time keeping his eyes off of Remi. He wanted to go up and talk to him, but he was frozen to his seat. It didn't help that Remi was openly flirting with Greyson. There was some jealousy of curse, but he wasn't going to give Remi the satisfaction. He was waiting for the two people on the mission for fruits to come back. He was hoping they would return with apples. That was all he ever ate for breakfast. Especially before school. The quicker he ate, the faster his muse would take him to Talia.

Evangeline just wanted Damian to leave her alone. He seemed to always want to ambush her when she was alone. God forbid another person showed up it would be like Damian and her didn't even know each other. He ended up catching up with her and blocking her path. She took a few steps backward thinking about bolting in the other direction. But when he spoke, she froze up. Like always. Any thought of running fled her mind. It was annoying what power he held over her. Now she was wondering her Damian look alike was at a time like this. Of all the times she could ask for a muse he wasn't around. Damian seemed to be waiting for an answer. The answer to the question that he asked her before they fell through the floor. She just stared at her, searching for the words. But it seemed that her vocabulary that she learned in elementary school left her. 'Say something!' she scolded herself. "N-no. M-my muse will train me." Evie managed to choke up while taking a few steps backward.

Cami finished setting the table, her eyes wandering back and forth between Nathan and Grayson. Nathan seemed to be on a mission to get Ophelia some breakfast. Cami knew her best friend well enough to know that the bagel and cream cheese was for her. She smiled softly to herself. Nathan really was such a good guy. Grayson seemed to be busy talking to Remi. She made a mental note to say hello to him later. She wanted to speak to Remi as well. Maybe he knew something about Talia. Cami's stomach turned at the memories at what had happened the day before and suddenly she had lost all her appetite. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. She wanted to leave, but she needed sonething to eat. Preferably something light like a fruit. Which meant she'd have to wait until Ezra and Delaney made it back. She sat quietly on a stool to watch the rest of them go about their business. Mathew seemed to have the same idea as her. Cami wanted to talk to him, but he didn't seem to be in the mood for socializing.

Remi listened to Greyson and Willow talk about their kids and Grey mentioned Kelsey being with his muse. Remi cocked an eyebrow and looked at him. "I didn't get one of those" he muttered, not really caring much about it. He rolled his eyes when Grey referred to him as "his princess" and smiled a little. "Thanks dear, but I'm not hungry" he teased as he carefully handed Lucas over to his mother and stretched a little. "I'll just get a drink" he informed him so he wouldn't get worried. "But you're oh so thoughtful" he chimed as he dramatically kissed his cheek and walked past him to the fridge. He found a small bottle of orange juice and opened it up, immediately drinking from it. His mind knew he had to eat, but his stomach didn't agree. Remi said he'd be going to get Kelsey, so Remi decided to sit and enjoy his juice until he came back with his goddaughter. He walked over to the corner of the table and say down. Not two seconds later he was staring off into space again, completely unaware of Mathew being just a few feet away.

Ezra had absolutely know idea how Delaney knew where the back yard was. The mansion was enormous and they had let even been there a day. Somehow though, she led them straight to the large variety of fruits. "Wow". Being from Spain he was used to seeing big amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables, he just didn't expect to see them here. "I'm suddenly really home sick" he chuckled, looking at the scenery. He looked at the bowl then back at the fruits. It seemed like Delaney was thinking the same thing. Too many fruits and not enough bowl. He looked around for a moment and noticed something near the back door. "We'll look at that!" he smiled as he walked back over and picked up one of the two woven baskets. It was a little bigger than the bowl and had handles to make it easier to carry. He walked back over and sat the basket on the ground. Time to fill it up.

Currently, half of the people that she could see in the room did not have anywhere to be this early in the morning. Those people just happen to be the ones making breakfast for the people in the house. That was awfully kind of them. Ophelia could never cook for other people. Because of two reasons. One. People cook for her all the time whenever she needs food. Two. The effort to make food for others was a waste of energy unless she really cared about them. Cami, Talia, and Nathan could get food anytime they wanted. But everyone else would need to beg, plead, and be completely malnourished before she even thought about it. She ran her hands through her hair and saw Nathan approach her with a smile. Adjusting her skirt, she smiled back. Ophelia saw that he had her bagel with strawberry cream cheese. She kissed his cheek and then took her plate. "You are the best." But he already knew that. She picked up one of the halves of the bagel and took a bite from it. Out of the corner of her eye she saw one of her close friends sitting alone. Cami clearly needed Ophelia to cheer her up. Her attention went back to her boyfriend as she swallowed the food in her mouth. "I'm going to go talk to Cami." She saw that he didn't have food in his hands for himself. "And you are going to get yourself breakfast." It sounded like a command, but Ophelia could never really tell Nathan what to do. She never could. He was almost immune. With that she walked around him and semi skipped over to Cami. She took another giant bite from her bagel. "What's up buttercup? Not hungry?" She sat in the stool next to her. "You know if your man candy made the food, it has to taste good." Her voice was low. She didn't want to let the whole world know that Cami had a crush on Greyson.



Image
Image

Remi politely turned down Greyson's offer to get him food, which was completely fine with Grey. He just want to let his best friend that he would be here for him whenever he called. For a moment he lingered with his two friends before deciding it was time to go and get his daughter for breakfast. Willow took her son further into the kitchen to get food. Remi just sat down. Greyson just hoped that Talia was okay to get him out of this funk he was in. It was surely depressing to see Remi less than himself. A sigh escaped him and he started jogging back to his room. Nearing the room he could hear his little girl counting. He raised an eyebrow. "Ready or not here I come!" Her and the muse must have been playing hide and seek. A low chuckle escaped him and he opened the door. "Daddy!" He heard the moment he opened the door. The little girl took her attention away from the door and jumped on her father. Greyson picked up and kissed all over her face. She started giggling and squirming in his arms. "Hey baby girl. Were you having fun?" She nodded her head enthusiastically. Then she turned too see her babysitter smiling wide, while sitting on the bed. "Just shout Water, whenever you need me Grey." With that she faded. Kelsey gasped with admiration. "Daddy! Is she magic!" Greyson laughed and nodded his head. "Yes she is. Now come on. I made breakfast." She clapped her hands in approval and he walked with his baby girl back down to the kitchen to feed her breakfast.

Eric leaned up against the kitchen counter, waiting for Delaney to come back. He just wanted to talk to her. Or just look at her. Which ever he thought would be a bit less awkward. But right now he was waiting. Looking around no one was really eating anything. Willow and Lucas were the first to grab food. Nathan grabbed bagels for Ophelia no less. Everyone else was either too scared to eat first or waiting on the fruit. Eric heard his stomach growl and he decided that he wasn't going to wait for a dinner bell. He grabbed a fresh clean plate and started at the pancakes. He grabbed three of those. Then he threw two big helpings of eggs and five pieces of bacon on the plate as well. He walked over to the table that Camila had set and settled down. Hesitating for a moment, he thought he should at least wait for Eva. But she was taking way to long. Drenching his pancakes in syrup, he grabbed his fork and dug in.

Matthew just watched Camila set the table. There wasn't much else to look at. Well besides Remi. But Remi was too busy flirting with Greyson and chatting with Willow. Matty was trying so hard not to jealous. All the two did last night was sleep in the same room. But when Remi and him made eye contact for a brief second it was like Matthew was invisible. It just made his regret ever having a crush on the man. But Matt couldn't stop his heart from doing what it wanted. He sighed a bit and smiled softly at Camila when she took a seat all by her lonesome. He thought that maybe she was also waiting on the fruit. People were starting to eat the food that had just been made. Matt stayed in his seat and watched Remi join the table. They were sitting close to each other, but Remi didn't say a word. That slightly irritated Matthew, but he pushed that away. He decided that he should at least talk to Remi. Or just say hi. They were supposed to be at least friends. "Hi Remi." Matthew got a genuine smile on his face as he ran his fingers through his own bleach blonde hair.

Damian did not look pleased with her answer. But Evangeline could never really read his emotions on a good day. All she knew is that he was out to get her about one hundred percent of the time. Willow didn't believe her and Eric thought she just needed to be indoors more often. But Evie knew that being inside didn't make her safe. It just gave the tall, dark, and mysterious boy a challenge. For a moment they were silent and Evangeline thought that she was going to be freed. But instead she was given a lecture. The scariest and most thought provoking lecture she had ever heard. And unfortunately Eva was right about her muse. Air never said that he was hear to train her. Celeste never mentioned the muses being helpful in the elemental department. The people that were in charge might have been just as confused as she was with her powers. Damian seemed to have the most control and power in the group. At least from what she could tell. And he was practically offering her power. To actually be able to protect herself and those she cares about. Kickboxing could only take her so far. If she was confronted by Kain she would be absolutely hopeless. “Evangeline, you should know I do not come as a second option.” Her eyes grew a bit wider. Her decision needed to be made now and this would be it. No going back. A shaky sigh escaped her. Eric would not be pleased with what she was about to say. "O-okay." Her voice barely above a whisper. She was practically ashamed that she had said yes.

Ophelia giggled when Camila's face turned a bright red color. It was amusing to see how embarrassed she could get just from mentioning anything about Greyson. As much as it would please Ophelia, to continue to make her friend it would eventually get annoying. Cami was already embarrassed enough. She took another bite of her bagel and watched Nathan get his food. She never understood his breakfast choices. Bagel and strawberry cream cheese was the way to go. Had everything she needed for a 'healthy' breakfast. Turning back to her friend Cami, she tried to remember what she was really wanted to talk about. She quickly remembered about needing to go to school. "So. I was wondering. Do I have to be at school today?" The pyromaniac was asking as if, Cami was her mother. That wasn't the case at all. But she just wanted to know that if her best friend didn't need or want support at school, Ophelia would then have to convince Nathan to skip school as well. Ophelia finished her bagel and sat the plate down. She needed something to drink, but she was too lazy to get up and get it herself. Maybe when Greyson walked by, she would ask him. She would ask Nathan, but he already sat down to eat. She was not going to bother him again. Also, Willow was with him. Ophelia tried to avoid her at all cost.



Image
Image

Greyson waltzed into the kitchen with his daughter in his arms. She smelled the food and smiled the Cheshire cat. "Are there pancakes, daddy?" The father nodded and she squealed, wiggling around in his arms. She insisted on being put down so that she could run to get the food. Grey laughed and set his daughter onto the floor. She grabbed a small plate and attempted to reach for everything. Once she realized that she was two short, Greyson prepared the plate for her. "Thanks daddy." She said taking her plate in hand. He nodded and held his own plate of food in his hand. Kelsey ran straight to where the other child was sitting. Willow and Nathan were there as well enjoying breakfast. Greyson helped Kelsey into her chair and then sat next to her. "Hope you all don't mind, Kelsey and I joining you." Not that they really had a choice, the duo had already sat down. Greyson looked over to his best friend to see that he was talking with Matthew. Then he saw Camila was clearly red faced, but busy with Ophelia. He thought the seating choice he made was a rather good one. "Dig in princess." Kelsey didn't have to be told twice. She started to eat her food as well as her father.



Image
Image

Matthew didn't think Remi would say anything to him. Not only did he respond, he was being a bit playful. That lifted up his spirits. There was nothing better than having your crush want to be around you. But it made him feel even more guilty for leaving the older blonde before he had woken up. Matt didn't know whether or not to be sorry for that or brush off the comment. "Sorry. I uh need a moment to myself." He stated, running his fingers through his hair. "But next time we sleep together I will be sure to be there for you in the morning." Matt said, in attempt to be flirtatious. It was just for the sake of Remi. Anyone else and he would have just stopped at the sorry. He saw that Remi didn't have any food and that concerned him a little. "Not hungry?"



Image
Image

Evangeline knew that she shouldn't have accepted his offer. She knew that she should have high tailed it the moment he caught her in the hallway. But she sat there and listened to him like she always did. She always let him do whatever he wanted. She just let him get into her head and she couldn't do anything about it. Evangeline never told anyone about the times she has seen Damian. She was too afraid to say anything. She would rather just forget that they ever met. But she had walked right into the lions den with no escape. Damian's idea of training could mean anything. She would find out exactly what he meant at eight thirty tonight. Evie would show up on time for fear of what would happen if she showed up late. She just nodded, still not being able to use her words. Finally, some space was put between them when he walked away. He didn't fail to look back and prompt Eva on lying about the training. Evangeline thought she would be allowed to tell someone, but she could. The dancer nodded and then took some steps back. She couldn't tell anyone about her dangerous meet ups. If something bad happened no one would know where to look. Before he could say anything else or come up with more terms, Eva turn and ran. She ran down the hall as far away as she could. She was trying to find the kitchen. That is where everyone should be. And it would be her temporary safe haven.

Ophelia never meant to embarrass Camila as much as she clearly has. The pyromaniac would not mention Greyson Latier for the next couple hours. Just to keep her best friend sane. But after school, Ophelia was probably going to ring it up several different times around other people that weren't Grey. Just to bother her. It would be great. Nathan would probably help. Or he would ceased the teasing. Moving on from Cami's crush, she allowed Ophelia to skip school. She would have jumped for joy if Camila didn't suggest that she skipped school. Ophelia almost looked dumbfounded. Camila? Missing school? Granted their best friend was severely injured, but Camila never missed school. And Ophelia may tease her about it, but in the triangle one of them must get a decent education. "No. You are going to school." And Ophelia cringed at her next words. "And I am going with you. Only I am skipping all my classes and following you around." That way she technically wasn't going to school. She was just going to trail her best friend to make sure that she is okay. Just then the sun that was once high in the sky, dipped low. The moon and stars were out. Ophelia was ready to attack, as usual. Whoever did that could be a threat. Her eyes ventured over to Nathan. She couldn't lose him either. And she was close enough to Cami to protect her. Just then it was like someone turned the lights back on. Ophelia didn't address what was happening. "Deal?"


Image

Greyson and his daughter ate their breakfast quite peacefully. Well Greyson ate, and Kelsey destroyed. It's like she hasn't eaten in days. His food was good, but now that good. Willow teased about him and his daughter sitting here and he glared playfully. Messing with Willow was pretty easy considering she was close with Remi. Anyone close with Remi was good for teasing. Since Remi either teases or flirts. That pretty much how he gets by in life. Kelsey to a break from stuffing her face to sip some of the water. “Hi, Kelsey!” She looked over at Lucas with a smile. Greyson leaned down and whispered his name to her daughter. Setting her water down she waved. "Hi Lucas." Now Kelsey was going to have a friend to play with. That was good. The father can't entertain his daughter 24/7. He sipped his orange juice as the lights dimmed and it became night time. He held his daughter close to him, concerned for the change. It soon returned to day and he looked less worried. Elemental glitch? He didn't want to address it really. "Daddy who turned off the lights?" Greyson chuckled. "I don't know sweet heart."

Evangeline kept running. Getting lost a couple times as she was trying to find the kitchen. After a while she stopped running to catch her breath. Looking behind her, she didn't see a single trace of Damian. It made her feel better. Just a little. He was still in the house. The young girl held her hands out and saw that she was shaking. She was still terrified. Running her shakey hands through her hair, she started actually looking for the kitchen. Walking in, she saw almost the entire house gathered. Well all except Ezzie and Delaney. She spotted her brother quite easily. Jogging over to him, she slid in the chair next to him and rested against him. Eric could feel her shaking and he looked at her with great concern. "What's wrong?" He whispered. Evie just shook her head. She wasn't allowed to say anything. Something bad could happen to Eric. He stared at his baby sister for a moment and then just decided not to push it.



Image
Image

Matthew for some reason was expecting a small flirty comment back like Remi had done with Greyson, but instead he just got a confused look. That kind of hurt so he was glad that the conversation was dropped. Remi said that he couldn't eat because his stomach was in knots. Matty could understand the feeling. That was why he was only eating fruits. Remi asked about him and his eating. Matthew shrugged a little. "I was waiting for the fruits, but I am losing my appetite again." He said.

Ophelia did not mind following Camila around school if it meant that she would be okay. Sacrificing her strong desire to stay home to be with her other best friend was not a problem. But Cami insisted that she went to school and that Ophelia stayed home. She said that she would be fine, but Ophelia semi didn't believe her. But Cami was strong. "Alright. But if you need someone to break you out of prison I will go and get you." Ezra would probably have a better time getting his cousin, but Ophelia bends tons of rules at school anyway. Breaking Cami out of school was just another rule that she knows how to break. But now that she could stay home from school, she pulled out her phone to text Nathan. Although he was close by he was with Willow. Ophelia and Willow aren't friends. And possibly never will be. So it was safer just to text him.
[TO] Nate ♄
[MSG] Can we stay home from school today?


When the message sent she rested her head on Camila's shoulder. She wanted to make her friend feel better. Ophelia had Nathan to make her feel better and Ezra wasn't here to help. She would mention Greyson again, but the point wasn't to make her red. "Hey, did you get your muse?" Nathan said he didn't get his and she was curious about Camila's.

When the sky returned to normal, so did Kelsey's eating. No more than a minute later her plate was empty. She drank the water that was in front of her and then watched her father eat. Greyson looked at his little girl and put another forkful of waffle into his mouth. Kelsey groaned as he chewed slowly. "Daddy you eat slow!" she said with a giggle. Greyson chuckled and handed her a fork. "Then help me eat it." Kelsey smiled and started eating the rest of the waffles with her father. Then there was a mini showdown for the bacon. Greyson took it and shoved it into his mouth. Kelsey laughed and so did he. Greyson got up, leaving his daughter at the table to put the dishes in the sink. Kelsey watched Lucas, Nathan, and Willow. She didn't really know any of them so she got up from the table and ran over to where her dad was.

Eric tried offering Evangeline some food, but she wasn't hungry. She just wanted comfort even if he doesn't know what he comforting her about. "Fruit?" Eric shook his head. "Ezra and Delaney went to get some, but they are taking their sweet time getting back." Eric shoveled some more eggs into his mouth and Evangeline just rested and waited. Just then a familiar voice rang into her head. She knew right away that it was Willow. She was the only person that could get into her head and be no where in site. It was best not to turn and look at Willow. Having people figure out they were communicating like this just caused unnecessary attention. Now Evangeline was never one to lie to Willow since she could really figure it out if she wanted, but Damian said not to tell anyone. It's nothing big. I met my muse and he kind of freaked me out That was semi true, but her muse was completely harmless. How are you and Lucas doing?

Matthew rested his head in his hand as Remi spoke to him about being too skinny not to eat. Although him and Remi were about the same size, Remi was taller. The smaller blonde was trying to actually listen to Remi as he told him that he needed to eat something. It was as if he was his parents. Then a deal was made. Remi would eat if Matt ate. Running his fingers through his blonde hair, he nodded in agreement. "Deal." He said, adjusting so that he was resting his chin in both hands.

Ophelia was thinking about her muse when Camila cooed about hers. ”His name is Sound, and he’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!” She raised an eyebrow at her best friend. The only person she thought Camila found cute was Mr. Latier. Now she really wanted to meet this muse. Of course Ophelia only had eyes for Nathan, but just to see who she was talking about would have been interesting. "He’s a bunny” That made way more sense. Ophelia smiled. "Aww! I wish mine was a bunny." Ophelia had a thing for small cuddly animals. Before her adorable kitten she has had bunnies, gerbils, hamsters, and a chinchilla. They have all either died, ran away, or given away by her dictators. They were reluctant enough to allow her the cat. Her phone buzzed and she checked it before responding to Cami's other question.
[TO] Nate ♄
[MSG]Yeah that's what I tried to tell her. But she insisted I stay here. Do you want to go to school?

Ophelia would go if Nathan went. But if he was staying home, so would she. Placing the phone on the table she directed her attention back to her best friend. "My muse is like this blue little flame. Not as cute as the bunny." She added.

Greyson washed his dishes and his daughters dishes before he felt a tug on his pants. He looked down to see his daughter smiling at him. She was missing a tooth so it just added to the cuteness. "Need anything, Princess?" He asked, leaning against the counter. "Strawberries!" Ezra and Delaney still weren't back with fruit. "Soon." Just as he said that Remi showed up and tickled Kelsey. She started laughing and then hugged Remi. "Hi Uncle Remi!" She said. Pulling away she looked at him with concern. "Are you better now?" She asked, referring to how she saw him the other day. Greyson crossed his arms. "Go ahead and reassure the lady." Kelsey was extremely worried about Remi and wouldn't stop talking about him before she went to asleep.

Evangeline was happy to hear that her and Lucas were okay. Willow was the one she was really worried about. She had pretty much gotten angry, but then covered up how she was feeling. Lucas luckily had no idea what was really going on. Then her friend turned the question back to her. Eva wanted this to end so that she wouldn't have to lie about her confrontation with Damian. [color=20D4D4]His name is Air. And he just shows up out of no where freaking me out. He like appeared while I was taking a shower. I almost had a heart attack.[/color] She rested her head in her hand, in attempt to look like she was just waiting for the fruit and not having a mental conversation. Eric was done his food and he was bit worried that Ezra and Delaney hadn't shown up yet. He was just hoping that nothing awful happened to them. Because the last time people were separated, Talia got injured.



Image

Remi and Matthew were silent for a moment. He was finally getting time with his crush, but Matt couldn't say anything. Today was just not his day. He had attempted to flirt earlier, but was shut down. Matty eventually shrugged that off. But the quiet was slowly killing him. He was hoping that Remi would say something. Anything. ”Ah, look there’s Kelsey. I’m going to- I’ll
 be back in a minute” Except that. Matthew just watched him get up and leave. A sigh escaped him and he pulled out his phone. Scrolling through the contacts he called for his mother. "Hi Mom. Is Maddie awake?" Once his sister got on the phone he just started talking to her.

Ophelia watched her best friend get up and declare that she was going to grab a fruit. Ezra and Delaney brought back an eclectic variety of fruits. "Bring be back an apple!" She called out to Cami before checking her phone. Reading Nathan's message she thought for a moment. Camila was a different kind of upset than Ophelia was. Ophelia can usual mask pain enough to make it through her day. Cami, not so much. Then she had to think about her two options. Support her best friend at school. Stay in the mansion and mess around with Nathan. Once choice was good and the other was better. The brunette groaned knowing what the right thing to do was. Even if Camila said she didn't need Ophelia there, she was going to be there. She texted her boyfriend with an answer.
[TO] Nate ♄
[MSG] You are like a moral compass. Looks like we are going to school.

Ophelia was going to hate her school day. But if it was for Cami, then it would be alright. Especially cause Nathan was going to be there.

Kelsey smiled wide when Remi said that he was fine. She cared about her father and godfather very much. She wrapped an arm around his neck when he had picked her up. She giggled a little when he had kissed her cheek. Greyson just watched with a smiall smile. Finally, Ezra and Delaney returned with tons of fruit. All he really wanted was strawberries for Kelsey. But Remi seemed to have that covered. But Remi grabbed an apple instead and said he would be back. Kelsey nodded and then went back to her father. [b]"Can I have strawberries now daddy?"[/color] Greyson nodded and grabbed a bowl and threw some strawberries in them. After washing them, he used a knife to cute off the green parts and slice the strawberries in half. Kelsey took her bowl and Greyson lifted her up and placed her on the counter so she could eat.

Eric saw Delaney and Ezra come back with the fruits finally. He waved for his best friend to come and sit with him. He would have waved for Delaney, but she went to sit with her other friends. Which was fine with him. Eventually he would get to talk to her later. He still had to tell her that he liked her. Ezra had been teasing him about taking it slow, but Eric didn't want to scare her. He then looked at his sister realizing that she didn't eat. So he called to Ezra. "Ez! Can you bring Eva some fruit?" He asked. Evangeline wasn't really listening. She was too busy having her mental conversation with Willow. It took everything she had not to laugh at her friend. She was always putting a smile on her face. No I didn't kick him. I just got him to leave. But I will remember this conversation the next time he just shows up out of no where.

Matthew saw there and answered a billion questions from his worried parents and even more worried little sister. He said that he forgot about a getaway trip for the school and everything. They practically grounded him over the phone, but they were happy he had called. Once the interrogation was over, he talked his little sister Maddie. She was doing most of the talking. Starting with her dream from last night about him singing to her. Then she talked about her day yesterday and how she thinks here day will go well today. Matt smiled and then frowned slightly. He missed Maddie. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Remi walking over here with fruit. That was when Madeline said she had to go. "Okay maddie. Have fun today....Love you too.." Then he hung up and looked at Remi. Then he looked at the apple. Then back at Remi. "That for me?" Matthew asked, pointing to the apple.

Ophelia did not get an apple, but she was just as happy sharing the strawberries with Camila. She popped it into her mouth and held the green leafy part in her hand. Without permission, she took another one. She knew the strawberries were Camila's favorite so she wasn't going to eat them all. But she did want some kind of fruit this morning. Her phone had buzzed again and she knew it was Nathan. Reading it, she smirked. The idea of being alone with Nathan made going to school worth it. They were going to make up for lost time. She could already imagine the things they were going to do and she eagerly responded back to his message.
[TO] Nate ♄
[MSG] We better. I need our fun time.


Turning she looked at Nathan and gave a quick wink. Her attention went back to her best friend and the strawberries. That was when Celeste decided to grace the group with her presence. There was a lot of power coming from her. Secretly, the pyromaniac was jealous of the power. Ophelia was not power hungry, but she just liked the idea of having power. But she would never do anything stupid to get it.

She was focusing on the words and Celeste was not wrong about questions. Where was Talia? Was she getting better? When could they all kill Kain? But she held her tongue. Disrupting her with questions wasn't going to get any of the questions answered. Finally, the powerful being finished and Ophelia was going to ask a question. But she was no longer in the kitchen. She was in the garage that she had been talking about. She mumbled a few curses. Upset with not being able to ask questions. Her eyes widened at the sight of all the cars sitting in the garage. There were so many kinds. There were even bikes, skateboards, and scooters hanging on the walls. Celeste kind of thought of everything.



Image
Image

Greyson watched Kelsey eat her strawberries. She was managing to keep the juices off her clothes, which was great. Less clothes for the father to wash. Considering he did not even know where he could wash the clothes. He only knew where his room was and where the kitchen was. That was it. He needed to explore the mansion just a bit more. Camila came over for strawberries and he shifted so she could wash them. He offered her a polite smile and Kelsey waved her at. She went back to her friend and went back to his spot against the sink. His daughter had finished her strawberries and handed her father the bowl. He was turning to wash it, but Nathan and Lucas were making their way to the sink. He decided to let them have it first. ”It seems Lucas has a thing or two to learn from your daughter.” Greyson chuckled. "If only you knew how long it took to teach her how to eat like that." He teased. When they were done with the sink, he washed the bowl his daughter had used.

Then Celeste showed up. Kelsey eyes widened and she pushed herself off the counter and closer towards her dad. She was just stunned by the sudden appearance and beauty coming from her. The father picked up his daughter and listened to what Celeste had to say. It was rather a relief to hear that they were still close to home. That means he had somewhere to take Kelsey too for safety. If they were to train for Kain, he would rather his daughter not be around for that. But until training started she could say. Then at the blink of an eye, many of the people in the kitchen disappeared. All he saw was Ezra, Remi, Eric, and Willow. Everyone else was gone. Probably to get to school. Greyson wasn't that worried. Celeste has yet to do anything that had made him lose her trust.

Evangeline was feeling a thousand times better talking to Willow. Just to know that she had his back was more than enough for her. Especially since she felt completely alone at the moment. When it comes to Damien, Eva always felt alone. Telling someone wasn't going to make anything better. It would actually make it a thousand times worse. So she was going to continue to keep her mouth shut. She felt the connection with Willow break and she knew that their conversation had ended. Which was fine since it seemed Ezra had come back with some fruit. She smiled at him. "Thanks Ezzie." She said picking up on the berries and putting it in her mouth. When Celeste showed up, it had gotten rather quiet. It was like they were all waiting for something important to leave her mouth. Specifically anything about Talia. But nothing. She didn't say anything like that. Instead she just told them exactly where they were. Evangeline reached back in the bowl to pick up another fruit, but it wasn't there. She wasn't even in the kitchen. "Ugh. I didn't even get to eat." It didn't matter now.

Looking around the garage she was impressed by what was there. She wasn't able to drive the cars, but there was a bike. But there was also a skateboard. She kind of wanted to ride the skateboard. It had been a while since the last time she had ridden one and now she had and opportunity to do so. She would wait for Delaney before making her choice. That is who she was heading to school with.



Image
Image

Eric wanted to shake his sister from whatever funk she was in so that she could eat. But when Ezra came with the food she started to eat it. Then Willow and her child ran over to Ezra. He just rested his head in his hand. Looking over he saw Delaney. He was hoping that she was okay. He was going to get up and go over to her, but Celeste appeared. He didn't say anything nor did he move. He just sat and listened. To everything she had to say. And when she was done, his sister was no longer beside him. Her food looked untouched. He turned and saw Delaney was missing as well. A sigh escaped him and he started to eat the fruit, Ezra had brought for Evie.



Image

”Well who else would it be for? I distinctively remember you liking apples” The blonde smiled, shocked that Remi remembered a simple small detail like that. Matthew took the apple from Remi's hand and slowly bit down onto it. It was really good. He watched as his crush was about to return to Greyson, but then he came back. The older blonde took a seat close to Matt and watched him. He swallowed the apple that was in his mouth and smirked at Remi. "Are you trying to make sure I actually eat this apple?" He teased slightly. He took another bite before chewing and swallowing. "You are supposed to be eating with me." Matthew reminded. Remi did not have any food in his hand. That was when Celeste showed up. Matthew had forgotten about the apple he was supposed to be eating. He was listening to Celeste. He was hoping she had some news about Talia.

She didn't even address his best friend. Nothing about her was said. Nor did she give directions to the infirmary. And then everyone was gone. Well only for a moment. He was in the garage with everyone else that was going to school. A sigh escaped him. The apple was still in his hand. He took another bite and looked over in the corner. There were backpacks with everyone's name on it. He sifted through and saw the bag labeled 'Matthew'. Picking it up, he threw it on.

Image Eva immediately started eating the fruit once Ezra handed them over to her and he was relieved. She seemed to be distracted by something. Something big for that matter. He wanted to ask, but maybe it was something she didn't want to talk about in front of Eric. Evangeline often came to Ezra when she didn't know how to talk to her actual brother about something. Or because she trusted Ezra more, mainly because Eric was ten times more protective and he often only thought about what was safest for Eva, not that it was a bad thing, but it often kept him from listening to her. After deciding to ask her later, Ezra turned to Lucas who had greeted him excitedly. He chuckled softly at the toddler's question and was going to reply when a new voice came into the kitchen. Ezra looked up to see Celeste and he immediately glanced at Cami. Perhaps the woman had some news about Talia. Maybe she had woken up. Unfortunately she didn't even address the matter. She simply stated that those who had school had to go and just like that, a good percent of the people were gone. The only ones left beside himself were Remi, Grayson, Eric, Willow and the kids. That was one way to get everyone to leave. Then just as she had appeared she dissapeared. What were they supposed to do now? Laze around until the others came back. Ezra turned to Lucas, who looked puzzled, and smiled. "Don't worry, my schedule is free. We can play whenever you have time"

Image

Image Cami happily sheared her small red fruits with her friend, but she ate in a hurry. She needed to get to school and who knows how long that would take. She also didn't know how she'd get there. Her car was still back at Ophelia's house, which she also didn't know how far it was. The entire situation was confusing. As Cami finished her last strawberry and went to wash her hands, the same woman from rhe night before walled into the kitchen and greeted them. Celeste was her name if she remembered correctly. Camila's eyes brightened immediately. If she was here it meant she had news about Talia. Cami quickly went back to her seat and listened attentively to Celeste's every word, staring in disbelief when she had finished. She didn't even bring up the subject. She assumed no news was better than bad news, but she could have at least given them a heads up on what was happening, or at the very least where they could find her. But nothing of the sort happened. Camila wanted to ask, but her train if thought was interrupted when she blinked and was suddenly in some sort of garage. There were vehicles of all types and sizes. She looked around at everyone. It seemed that all of the ones there were the ones that needed to go to school. She looked behind her, quickly locating Ophelia and Nathan and smiled apologetically. "I guess you're going to school after all" she said softly, looming around at the cars. Maybe they could all ride together in one, it would make things much simpler. That and Cami wasn't sure if she could handle driving alone just yet. She was still shaken up, even though it wasn't as obvious as the night before. Concentrating at school was going to be hard.

Image

Image Mathew seemed surprised that Remi remebered his favorite fruit and this made the older blonde smile. For once, he had been the one to surprise Mathew. It was usually the other way around. The smaller boy somehow always managed to either surprise or disorient Remi in some way, but this time it was Remi's turn. The boy asked if Remi was actually going to make sure he ate and Remi nodded, as if it should have been obvious. "Of course" he said matter of factly. Mathew didn't waste time before reminding Remi that he was supposed to be eating too. He had made a deal with him after all so it seemed like he had no choice. The taller of the two lifted his hands up in defeat and go to his feet to get himself some fruit but was quickly interrupted by a new presence. It was that woman from the night before. The same one who had taken Talia away without so much of an explanation or a clue as to where she could be. The woman began talking and Remi listened closely, hoping she'd say something about Talia, but nothing came. He stared at her in annoyance as she spoke about the others having to go to school. He didn't care about that, he cared about his sister and getting to see her. Maybe Mathew would stay home from school and they could sneak off to find the emfermary. Two heads would be better ran one. Deciding it was a good idea, Remi turned to Mathew. "Hey I have a-" he stopped talking as soon as he realized Mathew was vanashing into thin air. He blinked in confusion after the boy was completely gone and sighed. So much for that plan. As he looked around, there didn't seem to be many people left. He was relieved to see that Grayson was still there, as well as Willow. And though they weren't close, he got along with Eric and Ezra just fine. Celeste had dissapeared again,eaving Remi with more questions than the ones he had before. With a sigh he stood up and walked over to his best friend. Perhaps he would accompany him in his mission to find Talia.

Willow ran off after Lucas and left Delaney alone, not that the blond minded much. She turned her attention from her friend back to her apple and continued eating, completely getting lost in the colors and flavor of the fruit. She had just about finished when the woman from the night before appeared before the group. Celeste, if she remembered her name correctly. Delaney watched the woman as she spoke, she seemed sad or a bit shaken up still from the night before. She was hiding it well though. Soon enough the woman stopped speaking and when Delaney went to take the final bite of her apple, she found herself looking at multiple cars instead of the fruit. She sighed slightly and looked around, observing the room. It seemed most of them had all been transported to the garage, with the except of the leaders and Willow.

Delaney spotted Matthew and watched as he picked up a backpack with his name on it. She walked over to the backpacks, waiting until he finished, and then scanned the names until she found hers and Eva’s. She found it odd that supposedly everyone who could drive have a car and all those going to school had backpacks with their names on it. How long had Celeste and the muses known they would be here? Would they be here for the whole school year? The thought made her slightly uneasy but she would try not to dwell on it much. She picked the two bags up, swinging her onto her back, and carrying Eva’s in her hand. Delaney quickly spotted Eva and walked over to her quickly, offering her the bag. ”Might as well get going since we have no other choice.” The blond offered her friend a smile before scanning the means of transportation. There were bikes and skateboards they could use, since they couldn’t drive. Delaney quickly ruled out using a skateboard, considering the only times she did was when Nathan had his skater phase and made her learn with him. Delaney spotted a white vintage bicycle among the other bikes and smiled excitedly. It was like a dream come true. Eva would understand her excitement if anyone could.

Nathan finished cleaning the dishes and dried them off, putting them back in cupboards and drawers. He let Greyson use the sink and then he felt this phone go off. He walked back over to the table and halfway there, he pulled out the phone. He read it and glanced at Ophelia to catch her winking at him. He smirked and winked back, slipping his phone into his pocket unanswered. They would get their alone time. He wouldn’t back out on her. Just then, a woman appeared in the room and Nathan looked at her. She talked mainly about going back to school and such, but didn’t mention anything about Talia. He frowned slightly, knowing Ophelia and Cami would most likely be disappointed.

Then he was in the garage. He raised an eyebrow as he looked around, quickly spotting all the different cars and the overall size of the immense garage. It was impressive, and he would have never thought he would be so happy to see that many cars, even though he had never taken much interest in them. He wondered which car was his, but he spotted a familiar hair color out of the corner of his eye. The cars could wait. He carried himself over to his girlfriend, wrapping an arm around her waist. Cami soon joined them and Nathan smiled at her. ”I guess you’re going to school after all.” He nodded his head at her, relieve that she didn’t seem to be in such a bad mood. ”It looks like we don’t really have a choice.” He chose to keep out the fact that he had convinced his girlfriend to go after all. It seemed it wasn’t really necessary, but she still agreed and they would still get their alone time. It was all working out so far. He spotted a key rack on the wall not too far from them and squinted his eyes. They seemed to have the names of each person on them and he raised an eyebrow, finding it pretty cool. He had his own personal car. maybe the mansion wouldn’t be too bad after all.

Celeste appeared Willow took a step closer to Lucas, placing a hand on his head lightly. She glanced at her son, who seemed to be very confused and the appearance at the woman. She had tried to keep her soon as distracted from last night’s events as possible, and she could not have done so without the help of Eva. Celeste talked to them about everything except Talia. She hadn’t not even mentioned her, which concerned Willow. The least the woman could have said was “she’s in stable condition” or where she was. Saying nothing, in her opinion, was way worse than saying the truth. Even if it brought the worst outcome, there was no need to hide something, especially regarding someone’s health.

One minute everyone was in the kitchen, and the next minute there was only a small percentage of them. “And then there were seven,” she mumbled to herself as Celeste left them too. Willow slightly rolled her eyes when the woman disappeared. It wasn’t that she didn’t like her, she just wanted to make sure Talia was okay. She knew Remi must be worried terribly about his sister, and she glanced at him, the emotions she tasted from him the night before coming back for a moment. She crossed her arms to keep from shivering, and scanned the scene. Remi and Greyson were together, Ezra and Lucas were talking more about their play date, and Eric was sadly eating fruit. She didn’t know why he seemed so moody, but maybe it was because his sister had just disappeared into thin air. Willow turned her attention to Greyson. She knew Remi well enough to guess he would try to go find Talia himself since Celeste had been of no help, and he would probably drag the father along with him. He would go to the ends of the earth to find his sister, and Willow loved that about her friend. “I don’t know about you, but I think this would be a decent time for Kelsey and Lucas to play. I can watch over them while you and Remi go look.”

Damian had just reached the doorway when he heard a familiar voice. He saw the back of the figure and identified the woman as Celeste. Yes, he remembered her. He liked the amount of power radiating off her. He wanted that amount of power, but his own self built power. If he was going to become powerful, he wouldn’t deprive others of their own power. He loved a challenge after all. Just seeing her made him power hungry. What she was saying didn’t matter to him. What she could do and who she was did. It made him think back to the first time he had seen her and the conversation regarding Lord Kain. If the man was so powerful, then why was the job up to them? Why couldn’t Celeste take care of it herself? He lost his train of thoughts when he noticed his surroundings change from the kitchen to a garage. He stared at the others, his eyes immediately finding Eva. He knew she wouldn’t be driving, but he wasn’t going to offer her a ride. She would most likely not get in the car to begin with, plus that would raise questions. He drug his eyes off her and felt his stomach twist in hunger. No breakfast for him. It seemed as though he wouldn’t be eating until dinner tonight.

He glanced at the bookbags on the floor and found one with his name on it. He stared at it for what seemed to be forever. There was no way he was going to school. He didn’t do things because others think he should. He only did something he didn’t want to if it would benefit him. Just then, a familiar voice rang in his head reminding him of a deal he had made. ...carry on with your normal, daily activities.. Damian mentally scowled at his muse, Going to school is not a part of my daily routine. However, his muse was persistent, and he didn’t care to deal with the nagging. He heard every threat and calmly walked over to the key rack, slipping off the pair of keys that was his. If going to school would make her shut up, then so be it. He hit the unlock button on his car key and watched as a pitch black car in the far back of the garage flashed its lights.

Ophelia saw the backpacks in the corner of the room and decided to grab her own. Digging around a bit she found her backpack and then went back to her spot. Looking over the cars she was trying to decide how she would get to school. She saw Cami and shrugged the off the comment about going to school. Nathan was going to make her go to school anyway. But Celeste happened to seal the deal. Running her fingers through her hair she smiled at her boyfriend who had finally appeared. He also commented about having to go to school. It seemed the world was against her and her best friend and boyfriend was on the worlds side. "We are all going to the same place. Let's carpool." Ophelia suggested. No point of taking three different cars when they were all together right now. And they would most likely be heading back to the mansion together. "Nathan you are driving." she told him with a smile. Ophelia only drove when she absolutely had too.

Greyson started gathering the dishes in the kitchen that was left behind by the disappearing high school students. He was washing them as Kelsey watched insisting that she helped him. The father just laughed and continued cleaning, when he finished he picked his daughter. "There are no more dishes for you to wash." He told her, walking towards the others were. They didn't have school so he would spending his time with them. Probably Remi most for the fact he was going to need someone to accompany him in search of his sister. He knew Remi wouldn't resist looking. “I don’t know about you, but I think this would be a decent time for Kelsey and Lucas to play. I can watch over them while you and Remi go look.” Greyson nodded thinking that it s a great idea. "I like the sound of that." He said. Then he looked at his daughter. "How does that sound to you sweet heart. Want to hang with Willow and Lucas?" Kelsey looked over Willow and then at her father. "Sure daddy." Greyson put Kelsey down and she jogged over to where Lucas and Ezra was.



Image

Evangeline decided that she would be skateboard when Delaney showed up with two backpacks. Eva took the her own and watched her best friend excitedly pick out a vintage bike. Eva walked to where she was with a small smile on her face. "Guess you found your true love." she teased, pulled a skateboard off the wall. Evangeline dropped it onto the ground and set a foot onto it. "Guess we should go then." She said since now they had their rides to school. Without waiting, she pushed off out of the garage knowing Delaney would be close behind her.



Image
Image

It was much quieter after everyone disappeared. It was like he was back at his own house. When Eva left, it was super quiet. That was why he liked having Ezra around. Kept him busy. But Ezra seemed to be busy with Lucas. Not that he was jealous, he was just bored out of his mind. Greyson was definitely going with Remi. Those two were practically inseparable. He looked over at Ezra. "Well whenever you are done with your playdate, we need to find something fun to do here." Eric said teasing him about playing with Lucas.



Image

Matthew was not happy he had to go to school. He wanted to stay home and keep tabs on Talia. But Celeste had other useless idea. Like attend school like nothing weird was going on. Matty might skip if he feels the need. Not waiting for anyone else, he started walking towards the school. He never drives or bikes or skates. He prefers to walk and sing to himself. If anyone needs him they can just text him.

Image Ezra had planned on letting Eric open the large door since he was the boss at this moment, but it seemed that his abilities weren’t quite right for the kind of locks keeping them out. The Spaniard thought for a moment about what Eric said. The locks were constantly changing which meant they would need something fast enough to keep up with them. Cosmic energy generally had a good speed so he decided to give it a try. Stepping up to it and placing his hands on it like Eric had done before, he closed his eyes for a moment then let out a soft whistle. ”I see what you mean” he said, but didn’t back away from it. He wasn’t planning on giving up anytime soon, not without giving it a try first. He maintained his eyes closed and his palms to the door as he began to gather up as much cosmic energy as he could. The dark hallway began to light up from the light radiating off of his body as he attempted to connect it with the door. The first try failed and it shoved him away slightly. The 19 year old furrowed his brows and placed his hands on his hips. ”Playing hard to get, I see” he said, directing it at the door. After deciding to try again, he began to do the same as before, only this time he waited a little longer, gathered up more energy and quickly injected it into the door. Suddenly there was a loud click followed by several smaller clicks and finally the large double doors began to slowly open. The proud Spaniard back away from the door with a satisfied smile and looked at his best friend, ready to dive in and explore.

Image Grayson seemed as uneasy about Mathew’s behavior as he did, but it was Mathew. It looked, sounded and walked just like him. The small blonde continued to walk ahead of them a few paces without looking back for a single instant. He seemed determined to get to where they were going. Thinking about it more, it shouldn’t be that odd that he was so quiet. After all, he was just as worried about Talia as Remi was. Of course he would be completely focused on getting to her. Still, something didn’t sit right. Remi returned Grayson’s unsure look but continued to follow Mathew anyway. More than anything, he wanted to get to his sister. Finally, after what seemed like a very long and awkward walk, they stopped in front of a somewhat large door. It was closed and by the energy coming from it, it had some pretty complex locks. ”How do you plan on getting in-?” Remi asked, only to be cut off by the sound of clicking locks. The taller blonde stared in both shock and amazement, trying to decipher how the teen had managed to unlock such a complicated door so quickly, but the other didn’t give him time to answer. The large door slowly opened to reveal and very simple, very clean and very white room full of all sorts and sizes of shelves and cabinets, all stocked with every kind of medicine one could possibly think of. Mathew led them towards the back of the room and slowly pulled back one of the white curtains to reveal a sleeping blonde. Suddenly Remi forgot everything he had seen up until that point. All he could see was his sister. He rushed up to her side and placed a hand on one of hers. She was warm, her energy felt stable and the cuts, bumps and cruises that had taken over her body the night before were all gone. However, she wasn’t awake. Or at least she didn’t appear to be. ”Lia...can you hear me?” he said quietly, but loud enough that she’d be able to hear. Still, there was no response.

Image Ezra had impressed himself a little. He didn’t think the door would open so easily. Thankfully his cosmic charm did the trick, as usual. He followed his best friend inside and looked around. It was too dark to be able to see anything. Eric started looking for a light switch and so did he. He imagine it to be something odd like, a switch that needed supernatural energy to turn on or something like that. Luckily, they didn’t have to look for long. As they stepped further in, the lights began to turn on on their own, one by one. As soon as the last one flashed on, the large double doors slammed shut. Ezra turned around with a start before looking at his best friend, then looking around the room. The entire area was covered in sorts of weapons, targets and several things that he had no idea what they were. At the far end of the room there was another, slightly smaller door. Ezra looked back at the door then at Eric. They were stuck inside a room full of weapons with only two options. 1) Turn around and leave or 2) go forth and explore the next door. Ezra knew which he would pick himself, but he wasn’t calling the shots this time.

Image

Image Remi stared at his motionless sister, a lump started to build in the back of his throat. Grayson’s hand on his shoulder made him flinch a bit but he just let it be. Managing to look away from his sister long enough, Remi looked at Mathew. Much to his surprise, the blonde didn’t look as excited or relieved to see her as Remi imagined. ”She’s recovering fairly quickly” the small blonde explained, placing a hand to the back of her forehead. ”And here i thought I’d finally get to talk to her after 16 years”. This threw Remi completely off guard. EIther Matthew had gone completely nuts or he was attempting to confused them. EIther option was a little irritating, but before Remi could protest, a quick flash of light came from Mathew’s body, leaving the blonde temporarily blind. Once his eyes readjusted, he realized Mathew was gone and in his place was a tiny, green winged creature, about two inches tall, that hovered above Talia. Remi blinked in confusion before realization began to set in. ”Alright, who’s are you, mine or Talia’s?” he asked, a little annoyed that the creature had tricked him. The small fairy like being chuckled and flew over to Remi’s shoulders. ”Yours” he said simply. ”I figured you’d like the other form better” he added with a snicker. Just a few minutes in and Remi already didn’t like him.

Celeste wasn't sure what to do with the motley crew that she was given to work with. Every other generation of the elementals had managed to get along and seemed to be all related. It was more convenient that way. But everyone she was working with this time was different. Though similar environments the personalities are completely different. They clash and cause problems. Celeste can only imagine what could happen if she partnered the wrong people together. With a sigh, she walked away from her crystal ball. She had been watching the teenagers at school. She wanted to make sure that they were okay. There was no need to watch the young adults, she could hear them. Or at least she could sense them. There was nothing wrong going on so she didn't need to intervene on anything.

Sitting down in a chair, she leaned back and waved a hand. The elements muses appeared before her. They were all in the forms that were preferred by their users. "They need help. Talia is getting better, but she isn't well just yet. I do not want her training until she is at one hundred percent." Talia's muse nodded and completely disappeared to be with her. The rest of the muses were waiting for the rest of the instructions. Celeste was not sure what to do with them. They would not be needed training, but they would be needed to watch them through the night. "The rest of you. If you have not already introduced yourself to your owner, then do so tonight. They need guidance and a protector." Celeste turned to Damian's muse. "Don't let Damian hurt anyone, Gravity." The muse nodded. With a wave of her hand the rest of them disappeared. Next, Celeste needed to gather the elementals and prepare them for battle.

Another wave of of her hand, she appeared in the main ballroom. Mumbling a few words, she had her elementals appear before her. For a moment she was silent and allowed them to be confused. There was no need to speak just now. She wanted to make sure she got everyone except for Talia. Once they seemed to settle down and Remi was down asking questions about his sister, Celeste took a few steps towards the group. "Hello children. Sorry for gathering you all here on such a short notice. But it just could not wait." Celeste took a deep breath.

"Lord Kain has been growing stronger than anticipated. After the situation with Talia, I cannot risk losing any more of you." She started. "Training starts today. To keep things in order I have broken everyone into four groups with group leaders. For safety reason stay with these groups during training." Celeste did not mean to sound like a teacher, but she means it when she says for everyone to stay in their groups. She ran her fingers through her hair.

"Ezra you will lead Willow and Ophelia. Eric you will lead Damian and Matthew. Remi you will lead Evangeline and Delaney. Greyson you will lead Nathan and Camila." Celeste was hoping that her arrangement would keep people from getting hurt. "Leaders. Your only job is to make sure that the people you are in charge of do not get seriously injured. And please do not seriously injure each other." Celeste glanced over at Damian for a moment before looking over the ground. "The muses will tell you where the training facilities are. If you need me ask a muse to fetch me." With that she smiled gently and waved her hands once again leaving the group to train and be ready for Lord Kain.

Whatever important thing that Greyson was doing seemed not to matter anymore, for he was in the ballroom with the rest of the people that currently reside in the house. It seemed he wasn't the only one completely confused to why he was standing here. He could have sworn he was with Remi and Talia. They were getting vague answers to some questions that they had. Remi was with him, but Talia was not. She must still be in the infirmary, which means she is still not well. That was something that was obvious. What they had managed to figure out was that she was fighting for her life. Knowing Talia, she wasn't going to let Lord Kain attempt to take her life without some sort of vigorous attempt. Greyson knows that she will be okay. She always ends up okay. His attention was pulled towards Celeste. She must have been the one that called her here. Which meant that whatever was being said was vitally important. He listened to everything she had to say. "Greyson you will lead Nathan and Camila." Training started today and he was one of the leaders. It was an honor, but Greyson didn't really feel like the leader type. Luckily he didn't have problems with either Nathan or Camila. This should not be a problem. Or at least he hoped not. Celeste disappeared and a sigh escaped him. "Guess we should start looking for the training areas." Greyson stated.



Image

Eric was confused. First he was with Ezra in what they figured was some kind of training area and now they are in the ballroom. Everyone else was confused, so Eric felt a bit better about his confusion. He noticed Celeste and realized that she must of been the reason that they were all here at the moment. So he decided it be best to listen to what she had to say. It was a bit worrying about how powerful Lord Kain was. He was coming after them and Eric immediately started worry about Evangeline. Though he was certain she could handle herself, that was still his baby sister. His whole world could literally fall apart if anything happened to her. "Eric you will lead Damian and Matthew" Eric did not mind being a leader. He kind of wanted Evangeline, but he wasn't going to say anything to Celeste. There had to be a reason for why they were put into these groups. Celeste disappeared and Greyson suggested they start looking for the training facilities. "Actually. I think Ezra and I found it by accident." He stated, looking over at his best friend suggesting he lead them towards that area.



Image
Image

Evangeline was no longer in school. That wasn't the problem. It's not like she enjoyed being in school. Her dyslexia made it hard to want to go in the first place. What she was confused about was why everyone was called into the ballroom, though once she saw Celeste the confusing vanished. Eva just assumed that she needed them for something very important. And it was. It was about Lord Kain and the groups training. Evangeline was afraid to fight. Any single one of them could end up just like Talia. That wouldn't help the situation, in fact it would be really bad. "Remi you will lead Evangeline and Delaney" Evangeline was more than okay with her group. It wasn't with Damian which was all that mattered. Greyson suggested they get started and Eric and Ezra led the group toward the facility. Eva stayed close to Delaney, thinking that if she was with her Damian couldn't bother her.



Image
Image

School was over. Or at least it was over for Ophelia. She was standing in the ballroom with the rest of the people that currently live in the house. It wasn't like the brunette wanted to be in school, especially because she would much rather be glued to Talia's side or bothering Camila about boys or cuddling Nathan or even cuddling her kitten. Anything was better than school. But this particular reason of being called out of school was an important one. It was about Lord Kain and Ophelia listened. She hated Lord Kain with every fiber in her being. No one messes with her friends and expects to live. She was already planning the different ways to burn him alive. "Ezra you will lead Willow and Ophelia" Willow? Of all the people she could have been paired up with, it had to be the rainbow haired girl. Ophelia was not happy. Ever since she has been interested in Nathan, neither her nor Willow ever got along. Ophelia never really tried to get along with her and vice versa. Not even for Nathan's sake. It was better if they just didn't hang out. But now they were in the same group. It was going to be fun fighting her. Even though Celeste strictly warned them not to seriously injure anyone. Willow has tough skin, she should be able to take some burns. Greyson, Eric, and Ezra didn't hesitate to start the group with their training. Ophelia just wanted to face Kain and melt his face off already.



Image
Image

Matthew was glad to be out of school. But if his mother found out he would be in serious trouble. Celeste was the one that summoned them so it must have been serious. Matty looked around at everyone trying to figure out why they were here before Celeste told them why. Of course it was about Lord Kain and having to defeat them. But she was starting their training today. Matthew wasn't looking forward to training. He was afraid of this battle. He almost lost his best friend to this Lord and he didn't wanted to be next. Leaving his sister behind was not something he intended to do. But it wasn't up to him. The stars chose Matthew to be the one and he has to accept that. "Eric you will lead Damian and Matthew" He was completely unsure about the group, but he couldn't ask for a switch. Celeste had a reason for everything. At least he wasn't with Remi. He wasn't really happy with the constant rejection. This morning he was being nice, but Matty still would have rather he played nice elsewhere. Remi was toying with his feelings and he wasn't going to be able to take it anymore. The leaders started exercising their right to lead and lead the group towards the training areas. Matthew could honestly say that he was not ready.

ImageTo say that Ezra was confused was an understatement. One moment he was in some sort of training room full of weapons he had never seen before, and the next he was in a large room along with everyone else. And there was that woman again. Celeste, who explained many things to them. Among those was the need to get rid of this Lor Kain figure and Ezra could not agree more. What that thing that done to Talia was not something that could be easily forgotten. Judging by the fact that she wasn't there with them, he only guessed she was still unconscious. She had to be, otherwise she would be kicking and screaming to get permission to go after the villain that hurt her. He must have done a good amount of damage. Celeste also explained how they would be starting training and Ezra smiled to himself. If he was correct, they would be training in the room Eric and him had found earlier. He was also to lead and was given two team mates, Ophelia and Willow. He had no problem with Ophelia, in fact they got along rather well because of Cami. Willow he had just met, but regardless they also got along. Not to mention he had already gotten attached to Lucas. The only worry was their relationship with each other. Ezra had no idea what state that was in. If they didn't know each other or if they were friends that would be easy to handle, but they very well hate each other and Ezra had no clue. He decided it would be best to ask Ophelia directly. He didn't know Willow well enough yet to ask such a thing, which would make it kind of rude. Eric suggested they lead everyone to the training room and Ezra nodded in agreement. They had just came from there. On the way over, Ezra thought it would be a good chance to ask. "Please tell me you and Willow don't hate each other's guts" he muttered to Ophelia, only loud enough for her to hear.

Image

ImageCamila remained in silent confusion as everyone talked and questioned what was going on. Cami was no longer in school, which any other day would have been a reason for her to freak out over missing important classes and information, but her head was just not in it at all today. For the first time ever, she was glad to be out. It appeared that she was back at the mansion. Everyone was there with Celeste. Everyone except Talia that is. She looked at Remi, who seemed a bit calmer than before, hoping to figure out where she was. Celeste explained in detail what would happen from then on and Cami listened closely. She didn't say anything about Talia's condition. Nothing they didn't already know anyway. Cami frowned slightly to herself at the sound of the words "war" and "training". If there was anything Camila wasn't, it was a fighter. She always prefers to talk things out rather than fight, but she was convinced that Lord Kain wasn't someone you could simply just talk to and come to an agreement. Not after what he had done. Not to mention that knowing her best friend was still injured because of him gave her the teeniest motivation to kick his ass. Camila was past being sad, now she was determined. Determined to make Kain pay for what he'd done to Talia. Still, fighting and killing was not her cup of tea. And as if that wasn't nerve wrecking enough, she was put in a team with Nathan and Grayson as the leader. Never mind the fact that Cami used to have a crush on Nathan, now her current crush and the only person that could make her forget how to function as a proper human being was to be their leader. SHe let out a somewhat shaky breath as she followed everyone to the training center, which her cousin had apparently already found without permission, and decided to focus her mind on something else. She matched her pace with Remi's and smiled weakly up at him. "Did you see her?"

Image

ImageRemi was not happy. He had finally been allowed to see his sister, and now he was taken away from her just like that. Celeste appeared before everyone once again and Remi glared half heartedly. He knew she wasn't a bad person, but he also knew she was the one that had taken him away from Talia. Regardless, he wasn't too upset, only because they were getting the chance to train and later on kick Kain's sorry ass. The blonde almost smiled, thinking about all the ways he could get revenge. No one hurt his sister and got away with it. As Celeste explained the training teams, Remi tried his best to keep his mouth shut. He had already forgotten he was one of the designated leaders, but now he was actually given people to lead. Delaney and Evangeline. He could work with that. Luckily, as far as he knew, the two of them got along just fine. Also, as far as he knew, neither of them had anything against him personally. He just hoped They were as ready and willing to fight as he was. As they headed to the training ground, Camila caught up to him. She quietly asked about Talia and Remi nodded in response. "She was still unconscious" he said plainly. There was no reason to say she was better when she wasn't. The brunette frowned at his response and he did the same. Even though Talia was his sister, Remi knew Camila and Ophelia loved her just as much as she did. "Don't you worry, we'll get Kain back for this. That you can count on". As they arrived at the training center, Remi headed straight for the weapons. If he was to lead he had to start right away. He looked at Eva and Delaney as they approached him and gave them somewhat of a smirk. "You girls ready to kick some galactic ass?"

Image

ImageIt's as if her body was on fire. Talia had absolutely no idea where she was, or if she was even alive. One thing was certain though. She remembered what brought her here. She remembered perfectly clear. That ugly creature had dared to put his hands on her, to hurt her, and on top of that, mess up her new outfit. Dead or alive, Talia was going to kick his sorry ass to the moon. She could feel the adrenaline running through her veins, or maybe it was just the burning desire for revenge. Whatever it was, it was making her feel much better. She could hear voices, one in particular, that sounded very familiar. Remi?. She couldn't see and she could hardly hear, or make out what was being said, but that was definitely her brother's voice. He called her name several times, but she couldn't get herself to respond no matter how much she wanted to. This made her even more irritated, if that were at all possible. The voices continued to surround her for several seconds, and then all of a sudden it was quiet. No voices or sounds heard. Had she gone deaf? That would just be the cherry on top of the revenge-driven cake. Deaf or not, she had to see where she was at least. She fought harder and harder to regain her senses, and she could hear a faint beeping noise. So she wasn't deaf after all, nor was she blind she realized, as her vision slowly adjusted. She was in a white room, alone. AT least that's what she thought, until a woman appeared before her. She had never seen her before, but the woman was smiling down at her. The blonde immediately sat up, ignoring the spinning sensation in her head. "Touch me and i'll scorch you so badly your great-great-great grandparents will feel it". The woman seemed to find her threat amusing, which only added fuel to the burning hate fire. "Well you seem to be feeling better" she said in a soft tone, which for some reason annoyed Talia beyond belief. "Damn right I am! Who the hell are you? And where is that ugly bastard that dared to hurt me" Talia demanded. The woman didn't seem to know how to answer. "Forget it, where are my shoes, i'll find him myself" she attempted to get up, impatient with the woman's silence, but was stopped. "All in good time" she responded finally.

Delaney didn’t know what had happened. She had been sitting in history class, tapping her pencil on her desk as she stared out the window when all of a sudden she turned her attention to the blackboard but it wasn’t there. Instead of sitting in a desk in front of her teacher, surrounded by classmates, she was in a ballroom, in front of Celeste, surrounded by everyone else in the mansion. She sighed quietly. She had a feeling she knew what this was about. Practically every time she had shown up one name was always mentioned. As Celeste spoke, that same name appeared: Kain. Once again, there was also little mention of Talia. She wondered how the girl was doing, and glanced at Remi. From the look on his face, he guessed not well. Celeste then disappeared and left the others alone. Eric talked about the training room, and everyone started moving. Eva was suddenly by her side and Delaney sighed again. Everything was happening too fast for her to process, and she tried to run through what was said again. They would have to fight Kain, Remi was leading a group of her and Eva to train, and now they were going to a training room Eric and Ezra had already found. Delaney barely talked as Eva and she made their ways to the room, only making room for one comment. “I don’t like this.”

They finally reached the training room and Remi went right for the weapons. “You girls ready to kick some galactic ass?” No. She wanted to run. She didn’t want to fight. But she knew she would have to. It was inevitable. Plus, fighting meant hurting Kain, the one who hurt Talia. She couldn’t say no, especially since Talia was hurt. Delaney couldn’t say no to Remi. She half smiled and nodded her head. She would have to fight eventually, so she might as well get ready for it.

Nathan was in a ballroom. He had sworn he had just been in school a few minutes earlier, but now he wasn’t and he wasn’t complaining. He would rather be out of school than in school.
He looked around and noticed everyone from earlier, and then saw Celeste. She assigned groups and Nathan looked around and found Camila and Greyson, who he was assigned to a group with. But one group in particular caught his attention: Ezra, Willow, and Ophelia. That was not good. He had his best friend and his girlfriend in the same group, bound to fight each other at some point. And it was an understatement to say they didn’t get along. He just hoped neither ended up in Talia’s position in critical condition, or whatever condition she was in. Celeste had not mentioned and no one had really asked. Nathan sighed and looked for Ophelia, who was with Ezra. Seeing Ophelia was busy, he jogged over to Willow.

Willow didn’t know what had happened, but she wasn’t with Lucas or Kelsey anymore. Instead it was Celeste and the others. She crossed her arms, slightly annoyed. Whatever they were all here for, it better be important. She still had work to do and she wondered who was caring for the kids now. Maybe it would be her muse or Greyson’s. If it was hers, she hoped she’d get to meet him or her soon. She wanted to know where hers was and if it was the man Lucas had drawn, which would make sense. “Ezra you will lead Willow and Ophelia.” Ophelia? Willow squinted her eyes at Celeste. Of all people, she had to be stuck with the rich, hothead. The person she least wanted to be near. Even Damian would be better. Ezra, she didn’t mind, even if she barely knew him. Everyone started moving and Willow realized someone was suddenly next to her. She didn’t even have to look. “What, are you gonna warn me not to hurt your girlfriend?” Her best friend laughed and shook his head. “You know me so well. I’m worried about you guys killing each other. So just don’t kill her, okay?” She rolled her eyes dramatically. “Yeah, you don’t have to worry about that. I don’t plan on killing her while you guys are an item, because if I did I’d have to hear you mope about it and then mess with your head.” Nathan shuddered slightly. He wished she was kidding, but he knew her better than that. Willow barely joked about stuff like that. “If you’re little girlfriend plans on playing with fire, then I hope she likes mind games.” Willow mumbled the last line before taking a few steps ahead of Nathan, entering the training room and leaving him behind.

He had been forced to go to school, and now he was being pulled out of class. What a joke. He leaned against the wall he was next to, and surveyed the group as everyone looked around or looked confused. He didn’t know why he was here either, but he wasn’t going to let on that he was as clueless as them. The woman from the earlier announcements, Celeste, stood before them and told the Lord Kain had even become more powerful and they would be needing to prepare for battle. He smirked slightly. Fighting Lord Kain? He didn’t think so. He loved to fight and the pain that came with it, but he knew that most of the people in the ballroom were running on raw emotions from the incident with the one girl, Talia. Lord Kain had beaten her so brutally, but she was irrelevant to him. It was quite amusing to see everyone so riled up about one man. Damian was somewhat jealous, that one man could muster up so much hatred and fear at just the mention of his name. He was not power hungry, but being recognized and known as an eminent threat, he imagined, must be a beautiful thing. “Eric you will lead Damian and Matthew.” The statement made him scoff. Him, be led by another? Absolutely not. He did things on his terms. he had been a loner all his life and he didn’t plan on that changing.

Celeste commented on people not seriously injuring one another, and he found a hint of humor in it. It had been directed at him, but there was no need for it. At least not with the training everyone would be doing together. Damian was not interested in the training. He had no desire to train with anyone. Except Eva. What the two of them would be doing is something of an experiment, to say the least. He would not be taking part in training, but the training room did sound enticing. A small peak at it wouldn’t kill anyone. He watched as everyone filed out of the ballroom and he waited a few minutes before trailing them.

Ophelia was going to go and complain about her assignment to her boyfriend, but Willow was taking up all his precious time. So she just hung back and decided not to say anything. She could just fight her during the training. Next then Ezra came next to her. Ophelia was kind of close with Ezra because of how close she was with Camila. They were practically related. "Please tell me you and Willow don't hate each other's guts" Ophelia let out a small giggle. She was trying to think of a way to explain how much she hated that pink haired girl, but she couldn't. "Let's just say that if I wasn't dating her cousin, I would have already set her on fire." She muttered back with an innocent smile on her face. Nathan knew that the two didn't like each other so he would try and keep them apart. But sometimes when they were together it was a screaming match. At one point they ended up using their powers on each other in the house. That's the only reason why they knew about each other's powers. "Don't worry. I will be on my best behavior. So long as she keeps those mind tricks to herself." She said. The group got out to the training area and Ophelia watched as the pink haired girl joined the two. The pyromaniac acknowledged her, but didn't greet her. She was just waiting for the part to where she could kick her ass.



Image

All that mattered at this point was that Evangeline was not with her over protective brother or the psychopath. Being with her best friend was the greatest thing that could have possibly happened. Being led by Remi seemed okay. She didn't know much about him, but she did know that it was his sister that was attacked first. Evangeline believed that was he was going to be a good leader. Celeste wouldn't have assigned him otherwise. When they got to the training area, the air manipulator looked around. She was kind of nervous about what she was going to have to do. What if she wasn't good enough? What if she ends up like Talia? She just wanted to make sure that whatever happens, her brother was safe. “You girls ready to kick some galactic ass?” Remi seemed eager to get training started. Evangeline shrugged her shoulders. "As ready as I will ever be." She said. Then a question popped into her head. "What exactly is your ability, Remi?" It would be useful information to know.



Image
Image

Greyson did not really know much about who he was in charge of leading. He knew of them, of course, but he knew nothing about them. He did find Camila to be quite cute and he knew Nathan was dating Ophelia. That was the extension of his knowledge. He made a mental note to get to know them later. They got to the training facility and he prayed the muse would take wonderful care of his Kelsey. He waited for Camila and Nathan to come and find him. Once they did he smiled. "Hey. Ready to train?" He asked, trying to make light of this entire situation. "What are your abilities? Mine is being able to manipulate water." He said. Demonstration was unnecessary. They would see while they were training.

Eric was ready to train for the battle. He wasn't sure how he would do as group leader, but his only real job was to make sure that Damian and Matthew stayed safe. It was simple enough. Eric was able to keep Evangeline safe, despite how hard she would make it. Speaking of which, he saw that she was with Delaney and Remi. He trusted the both of them to make sure nothing happened to her. So his focus went to his own group. He didn't know either of them, but that would be fine. He could introduce himself and his ability when they all met up. Once they got to the training facility, Matt and Damian managed to find him. "Hey. Ready to kick Lord Kain's ass?" He asked, rhetorically. "What are your abilities by the way. Mine is earth." He stated, waiting for answers.

Matthew kept to himself the entire time he was on his way to the training facility. He really wanted Talia to be out here with him. His best friend was still recovering and he didn't like it. Remi was leading a completely different group so he couldn't go and talk to him. He was stuck with Eric and Damian. The group didn't sound all that bad. Eric wouldn't have been leader if Celeste felt that he was incompetent. He managed to find Eric. Immediately he greeted them and attempted to make this seem fun. Then he asked for abilities. Matthew decided to speak up first. "I can manipulate poison." He stated simply.

So Remi controlled energy, and Eva controlled air. She had known about Eva, given they were best friends, but Remi’s power was news to her. She raised an eyebrow slightly when he explained his power and seemed to demonstrate on Eva. Delaney could practically see Eva perk up more, like she was given an extra boost. Remi’s power didn't seem so bad, but being able to control something like energy seemed like it could be very dangerous if misused or used for the wrong reasons. It made her realize she was glad she could only manipulate plants. It had never seemed like a very strong power, but she didn't care about that. She turned to Remi, realizing she hasn't explained what she could do. “I can manipulate plants.” Hearing the words come out of her mouth made her seem like her powers were rather lame. She hadn't noticed before. She turned and looked at the rack of weapons next to them. She picked up a knife and clutched the handle tightly. “Do either of you know how to fight with a weapon?” The only time Delaney had held a knife was when she was in the kitchen preparing a dish. She had never held one with the intention of learning how to fight with it.

Nathan met his group in the area and smirked once he saw Greyson and Cami. He couldn't imagine how awkward Cami must feel right now, being in a group with the guy she liked. It was like the two were meant to be together. The thought of Greyson and Cami being together left something like a bad taste in his mouth but he kept his smile. He couldn't let this arrangement bother him. So what if he’s still getting over her? He had Ophelia and she was all that mattered to him. Plus, Greyson seemed like a great guy. As if on cue, Greyson spoke up, breaking Nathan’s train of thought. He had questioned what they could do, and explained that he could manipulate water. That was cool to him. Nathan always wish he had an ability he could see physically being manipulated, but with time, he could only see the effects of his manipulation. “Call me Fr. Time.” Nathan joked lightly. He looked at Cami as she said she was sound, and together, Nathan thought they had a pretty strong group. However, maybe one of the most difficult to control element wise. He wasn't sure how well Greyson and Cami could manipulate their gifts. He knew what Cami could do and had seen her play around with it before, but nothing major. Nothing like he might see today.As he thought about what was to come more and more, something struck him. The actual process of training. He could only assume none of the leaders had done anything like this before, and if they were really going to train, what was going to happen? “So, how exactly are we going to train?” He imagined himself in the gym weight training. Something told him this would be a very different experience.

Willow stood on the side of the combat zone, watching as Ezra and Ophelia walked over. Ophelia made a slight gesture to her, making it evident that she acknowledged her presence. In return, Willow gave a slight head nod. That was all the redhead would be getting, and Willow knew she wouldn't be getting anything else either. At least nothing else friendly. The next thing the hothead planned to give her was probably a fist to the face. It wouldn't surprise her, as the feeling was mutual. Willow couldn't help but be put in an even worse mood when her best friend's’ girlfriend was around. The sight of her irritated Willow. There was no other way to put it. Ezra, having noticed the tension between the two or having asked Ophelia of their relationship, started to lay the ground rules. It was pretty funny to see what he ordered: no killing each other and no killing him. It was like he knew their history. Then he invited one of them to show off, but against him. The invite was a little boring, and frankly Willow wasn't interested much in training her powers. She knew her weak point was physical combat and she would rather have a lesson on that, but it was reasonable that they were focusing on their gifts first. They would take more time to master. But she didn't accept the invitation. “Don't you think it's a little early to be inviting me in, given I only know your name?” She let the sarcasm roll of her tongue, but she couldn't help but smile a little as she spoke.

The others had entered the training area and Damian spotted his fellow “team members.” The phrase made him want to laugh. Seeing everyone in their groups made him want to roll his eyes, but he would never. There was no point in showing such emotions because of others. If they wanted to be puppies and follow orders so easily, they could. He wouldn’t object. It was their choice, stupid or not. Damian stared down Eric and Matthew for a few seconds before walking over to the wall next to them. He leaned his back against it, staring at the wall opposite of him. Eric made some half-hearted attempt at an icebreaker and then continued to question them about powers. Matthew was eager to answer, explaining his power was poison. Damian didn’t bother to answer. He knew Matthew was poison, and he knew Eric was Earth. If they didn’t know what he could do, that was on them. He was not obligated to work with them. He didn’t plan on it, so there was no need to explain himself to others. “I don’t work with others.” He said plainly, his voice as monotone as ever. After a few seconds, he drew his gaze from the wall to the eyes of the others. While he didn’t plan on working with them, he did plan to stay and observe. He wanted to check out the room and see to what extent everyone could manipulate their powers. But until. he waited for the objections and questions that were sure to follow from the two boys.
