The man paid no attention whatsoever. He ran his hand over Derek's arms and chest. " Yes.. yes. This champion will surely win the favor of the crowd this season.. " He acknowledged. Derek became stone faced until he was finally excused, knowing that he was in no position to protect his pride.
" Bastard.. Who the hell does he think he is? " He grumbled after leaving the room.
Derek caught up with Katerina.and gave her flirtatious glances.
" Theres just no time when i'm not wanted somewhere. It's kind of annoying being the best of the best. " He boasted. " You're not like the other girls are you? Isn't this the part where you ask for my autograph from me or something? "

" Uh.. what are we doing here anyway? " Jerome felt strangely nervous.
Scarlet smiled. " Your having difficulties with your first assignment aren't you? I'll help you practice. "
" Yeah I am. I'm so nervous though. My father told me that I have no place in this school if I can't even pass the first assignment. "
" Concentration is everything. You need to become relaxed to the point where your brain waves become Alpha. Your abilities are lying dormant inside you. In other words, you already have everything you need to become a strong Fuinnimh wizard. " She pointed towards the ceiling lamp. " Make that move. You can do it. "
" Okay.. concentration. " Jerome closed his eyes and took some deep breaths.
Despite his determined efforts, little to no progress was made. More than half an hour had passed.
" Its okay. " Scarlet consoled him. " It might take some time. Don't doubt yourself. "

"Oh." Katerina flicked one finger, and the boy landed on the ground. "he ran." The teacher laughed, clapping her hands together, then her face turned a little more serious.
"I trust you have everything organised for the grand opening?"
"All except for a pianist, miss."
"Ah, yes. Blake left last year didn't she?"
"Da, miss."
"Well, I'm sure you'll find someone. You always do."
"Thank you miss"
Good. Maggie, Michael! why are you late?"
"sorry, mom. \we got a bit carried away in an argument."
"About what?"
"Which would win a fight, a komodo dragon or a bear. Michael voted bear."
"They'd both die." this came from Katerina. Maggie, Michael and Ms MacLeod gave her a questioning look.
"The komodo dragon would bite the bear, and the bear would kill it." michael looked at maggie triumphantly.
"But," katerina continued, "The bear would die from the toxins in the komodo dragon's saliva." Maggie looked at Michael. "Ha!"

" What are we doing here? " Jerome asked.
" We're going to find some books that might help you on developing your psychical abilities. Come on, follow me. " She led.
The pair settled down on a desk and buried themselves in a handful of books written by Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune, John Dee and the like. After a considerable time struggling to make sense of them, Jerome began to feel like giving up. " How is this supposed to help me develop my abilities? " He groaned.
" I've heard from somewhere that some people can gain spiritual understanding like this and it can manifest in a physiological sense. Just.. keep trying dang it! " She stammered.
Jerome came back to his senses. Scarlet was trying hard to help him find a place in this school. He didn't want to disappoint her. Most of all, he didn't want to leave this school and not be able to see her ever again.
" You kids finding everything alright? " A tall, bespectacled boy about the age of fifteen or so silently approached the two. " My names Brian Lamadas (check OOC later), I work as a library assistant here. Anything I can help you two? "
Scarlet explained the situation.
" Hmm.. it might help if you read some Kabbalistic books. Mystical Rabbinic Judaism. " The boy helped pick some books for them.

Jerome rubbed his eyes after several hours of reading. He rose from the desk. " I can't understanding this material at all. "
" Where are you going? " Scarlet became disgruntled.
" My room. Sorry to disappoint you Scarlet but maybe my fathers right. Maybe I don't belong in this school. " He sighed.
" Thats.. not true! In my vision you brought glory back to this school! This academy is your destiny. "
" Well maybe your visions wrong alright? " He walked away.

"It's now or never Daniel." she murmured to herself. Then she hurried into the building and to her class. Hoping the teacher wouldn't be to displeased about her being so late. Or the fact that she was dragging her huge purple suitcase along with her.

"I'm fine..."
He gently shoved her behind him and she turned to see that the boy was standing, snow white hair glistening in the light from a few sparks of Jason's fire.
"Run as far as you can away from the castle. I'll handle this punk.."
She paused, long enough to see the boy raise his arm to point at Jason accusingly. "Traitor."
"Traitor?" Zoey questioned, not moving. "What?" The boy inched closer, and she decided she didn't care what he meant at the moment. She gripped Jason's sleeve and tugged gently. "C'mon, I'm not going anywhere without you."
Then suddenly, something struck her, an idea that turned the gears in her mind as everything slowly clicked into place. "Oh god. You made a deal with them, didn't you?"
As she spoke she was still tugging, still pulling, trying to remove them both from the danger with gentle prompting.

"I am a mutant, even to us. my gifts can be shared and have been taken from others. Stay still, and close your eyes." she obliged. moments later she felt hi lips brush against hers. and another moment later she felt the power flow through her. she opened her hands. one held a flame, the other a vine. he opened his hand. in it was a small, spinning orb of air. she glared at him, then punched him across the face, not bothering to speak spanish or english. "never come near me or my powers again!" she yelled in russian, and ran off to find derek, feeling the rush of power as she went. Moments later she found him, surrounded y the white men, as if they knew how strong he was. Then she remembered. She waved her arm, and they set on fire, flying back and hitting against the wall. she looked at her hands. "Holy.." she said, then ran to derek. "They know the most powerful ones!" she yelled over the din of battle. "THE TOURNAMENT FIGHTERS!" she grabbed hi ahdn, and led him to where michael, maggie and the spaniard were. howard was clutching his cheek. good.

Eventually he set her down in the forest and she realized his head was dripping with crimson drops of blood. "Jason your bleeding." She stated, reaching up to wipe the blood from his forehead. "You have a tendancy to get hurt, huh?" She frowned. "I don't have anything to bind it with." She reached up and puched back his hair, exaiming the gash on his forehead. "It's not that deep though....." She was concerened for him but more worried about what was happeneing at the school.
"dO you have any idea what's going on up there?" She gestured at the school....then suddenly gasped. "Oh shoot! I left Arch's kitten in the hallway!"
(I remember she had Tibs a while ago....lol) She groaned guiltily. "On top of that I don't even know where Sabre is. I'm horrible to animals." she moaned, putting her face in her hands. She took a deep breath then peered up at the sky, which was swirling with dark clouds. She whistled the familier spiraling tune with her hands, hopeing SAbre would fly down with some dead present for her, like usual. No luck. She sighed and bit her lip, starring back at the castle. "I'm gunna sound crazy... But I think we should go back and try to find the headmistress.... To see whats going on."

He was stopped dead in his tracks by an encounter with an Institution aggressor. Derek grit his teeth in annoyance. His foe dropped to his knees, a bloody mess, and was no more in a flurry of violent gusts of wind.
" Derek!" Basil shouted from across the hall. " Kids like you and me are the ones who need to stand up to these bullies. We should stick together. Where the hell are the teachers?"
" The Institutions gotten very aggressive lately." Derek spoke sternly. "Go find your girlfriend Basil. I can take care of myself. "

When she saw the inside of the castle her mouth dropped open. Shocked she wondered around the foyer and then she saw a tall girl with bright red hair and an easy grin, messing about with a tall boy with a loud glaswegian accent. Walking up nervously, she said "Excuse moi?" The tall girl turned around and smiled at her.
After seeing that tall girl Annelise decided to try and find her common room to put her stuff away and start classes the very next day.

"Hey. I'm Maggie." she grinned, offering her free hand to the girl. She shook hands timidly, before setting off in the completely wrong direction.
"Uh, kid? You can't go that way!" she yelled, releasing Michael and spinning the girl around. "That way's the teacher's quarters."
