|Personality|

Kate is reserved. She doesn't put herself out there or dream of big things. In fact, she rarely communicates with anyone outside her small social circle and she's happy that way. Kate is a realist. She doesn't believe in dreams or waiting for good things. Kate puts her head down and works for what she wants. She won't let anyone tell her no, if Kate wants something she will tell you, and she will work for it or take it. She knows who she is and what she wants and isn't afraid to let everyone else know it too.

Which can make Kate quite blunt. She tells people what she thinks of them without any concern or regard with how they might take it. If they can't handle honest truth, then that's on them, not her. She can also be quite flirty with guys. Always telling them when she finds them attractive, and making very obvious innuendos and jokes. Again, if Kate wants something, she goes for it.

Kate is confident. Despite not being a social butterfly, Kate walks into every room with confidence. She doesn't shy away from new faces and is never afraid to voice her opinion. Kate can be quite rough around the edges. She is a bit of a slob, always leaving her clothes where she takes them off. However she doesn't have much stuff, Kate is a minimalist at heart. Years of always moving around foster homes have seriously trained in her the value of living light. Every single thing Kate owns fits in a duffel bag and she likes it that way. She can't stand the idea of being weighed down.

She also can't stand the idea of rules and being told what to do. Whenever she is told she can't do something, something inside Kate automatically has to do it. She is rebellious and is always causing trouble wherever she goes because of it. Kate always has to challenge the rules and the status quo.

She also causes quite a bit of trouble for herself because she also has an aggressive streak. Kate is known to get into fist fights a lot. When she isn't fighting other people she's throwing her fist through walls and windows. It's actually quite childish, the way that she gets angry so easily and starts throwing her fists around rather than talking it out. Combined with her aggressive side though, Kate has a very protective side which probably only extends to her sister considering Kate's more reclusive lifestyle. Kate won't let anyone talk down to or make fun of anyone she cares about, she'll fight anyone who brings them harm.

|History|
Kate's mum died in childbirth. So Kate and her twin sister Alice never had a chance to ask about their father or any potential family who might want to take on two newborn girls. They were both chucked into the foster system before the ink was dry on their birth certificate. Ever since, Kate and Alice that they only really have each other to rely on. No one was coming to protect them and look after them.

The two grew up getting into regular kiddy trouble - nothing they couldn't apologize away. Mostly though, things were good. In fact when they were 7 they got moved a more permanent foster home were they stayed for over 3 years and the family were even in the process of adopting the twins. The family were kind and had a little boy a few years younger than the girls. Kate finally felt like she belonged.

Then things sort of went, well, pear-shaped. Kate found Alice confronting a kid who had apparently been bullying her and was a real piece of work. Of course Kate didn't know this at the time - she just dived into the confrontation without any explanation, because that's just what sisters do. Of course that was the day Kate and Alice realized that maybe they weren't quite like other kids. Things got out of hand with the boy. Without realizing their strength Kate and Alice seriously hurt the kid. Then things sort of just happened. The boys parents threw their weight around, and everyone took their side of events, without anyone knowing the stuff he had done to Alice.

Then the couple who were going to adopt Kate and Alice backed out, They couldn't have violence in the household where they were raising their son. The system then decided the best course of action was to separate Kate and Alice, stating that they thought the two were more trouble together. Kate was eleven when she spent her first night away from Alice.

Kate spent the next 3 years proving the system wrong by being even more rebellious without Alice. Kate ran away from every place she was sent to. She was determined to find Alice and spent many nights roaming the streets, loaded up with stolen food. Since she kept running, Kate kept getting sent to worse and worst group homes. That was where she learnt her rebellion and violence. She learned the easiest way to be left alone was to throw a few punches early. When Kate wasn't running she was getting expelled from school and kicked out of foster homes.

Eventually after her 14th birthday, they decided that Kate and Alice had enough time apart, and they were finally sent to the same foster home. Now reunited the two are drifting through the system. When the two aren't moved on quick enough, Kate and Alice usually end up getting themselves in enough trouble to be relocated. The two are just counting down the days till their 18th birthday when the foster system can finally stop pretending they care about them.

So begins...

██████████████████████████████████████

Alice did not want to be here. There was no possible way the girl would ever be baited, tricked, or willed into walking through the red painted door to a house she'd never been in, all to attend a high school party hosted by someone she couldn't remember the name of. In no way possible would she ever be forced into a crowded situation full of her drunk senior classmates, while head-ache wrenching electronic music played and the promise of people's morning regrets hung the air like a dark, forgotten cloud made up of disappointed parental tears.

She'd like to believe that, of course, but she didn't live in such a fanciful reality.

Instead, she lived in the reality where she loved her twin sister Kate too damn much. Alice would jump into a pit of snakes to help her if she had too – and that’s saying a hell of a lot. Thankfully (as some might put it), Kate hadn’t requested Alice to do such a drastic thing. Instead, all she asked was for Alice to come to this party so Kate could finish off a fight that had gotten her suspended from school earlier in the day. Alice didn’t condone this fight of course and had let Kate know that very fact. The last thing she wanted was for her sister to get into more trouble or to get hurt, yet she could understand why Kate felt the need to finish it. Even Alice would be angered if a girl had dumped their lunch tray on her like Brianna did Kate as if they were in a corny teen film. Besides, the twins would probably be moving to a new school fairly quick now anyways since Kate was suspended. It always followed, though nothing had been announced to them yet from their social workers. This was Kate’s last chance to confront the stereotypical mean girl, and Alice was going to be there to stop it if things went too far.

Looking out of her car’s window, Alice searched for a parking spot on the already loaded street after having dropped Kate off at the front of the house. She quickly grew to regret that decision, hoping to god that Kate wouldn’t find Brianna before Alice had a chance to go inside the house. She had a feeling that tonight was going to be stressful, but at least the picture-taking junky might get a couple of good shots. After all, there’s nothing quite like the sight of recklessly high and drunk teenagers all crammed together.

After finding a spot that was a little ways away from the house, Alice felt satisfied enough that no one would bother walking this far to trash her car if some kids decided that’s what they wanted to do for fun. The only other thing she loved as much as her sister was this very car. She’d bought the thing from a junkyard when she just turned sixteen. For a full year, she tried to find the best parts for the cheapest price and build the thing back up. Of course, she often enlisted the help of the various high school auto shop class’ for the harder and more complicated things she couldn’t just read up and learn about. It’s still wasn’t the best running vehicle, but she always knew how to fix It back up if it acted up.

Putting her car keys in her camera bag that doubled as a purse, the petite girl had to literally hop out of her car after double checking all the doors were locked. As she made her way down the street, she zipped up her jacket as the cool air hit her. She was probably going to regret wearing it as soon as she entered the inevitably warm house, but as of right now she was perfectly content. Alice nodded in greeting to some of the people she passed by as they offered her various versions of, “hey Alice.” Though Alice wasn’t one to make a lot of friends as she didn’t see the point considering her frequent moves to different schools, she was still friendly to anyone who was kind enough to her. She also was on this particular school’s yearbook staff as a photographer so most knew her that way. She was forced to go to almost every school sanctioned function, after all.

Jogging up the steps onto the front porch, Alice felt the sudden urge to knock on the door but quickly realized that it was probably completely unnecessary, most especially with the amount of people that appeared to be coming and going. Rolling back her shoulders slightly as she tried to mentally prepare herself, she decided to take her old camera out of her bag and snap a picture of the door before walking through the gates of hell into the party.

Alice decided to try her best to stay goal-orientated. She would take pictures when she felt the need to, and she would keep her eyes on Kate, who, at the moment was out of sight. As she slipped easily by groups of people, some of the more attention seeking people she knew jumped out of her, hollering out “Ali, take a picture!” as they stuck their tongues out and stared at the lenses with their drunkenly glazed eyes. Alice laughed as she took various shots of people posing in ridiculous ways. She really hoped that they understood none of this was making it into the yearbook.

Alice just kept on snapping pictures as she kept her eyes peeled out her her sister. She also had been simultaneously searching for Brianna who seemed to be impossible to find in the crowds. She couldn’t decide whether it was a good thing she hadn’t seen her yet or a very very bad thing. Quickly pulling out her phone, Alice made her way to stand against a wall away from the center, sending a text to Kate.

    To: Katey

    Hey, I can’t find you anywhere. Please tell me you didn’t
    decide to slowly beat the girl to death with a spoon.

Looking back up, Alice tucked her brunette hair behind her ears after slipping her phone into her bag. She was getting warm and was defiantly regretting wearing the jacket as she unzipped it and rolled up the sleeves. She was about to move away again and search once more, yet stopped in her tracks as one of the guys on the yearbook committee named Dan strolled up to her, a smug look on his face as he hollered out, “how are you liking Wonderland so far, Alice?” She wasn’t going to let him know just how awfully old that joke was – she was damn sure he already knew that fact. Shrugging her shoulders, she retorted, “I’ll let you know when I find a white rabbit and a hookah-smoking caterpillar. Have you seen Kate anywhere?” Dan shook his head, answering, “Nah, sorry. Maybe she went outside?” Alice shrugged, flashing a small smile to the boy. “It’s fine, you’re probably right.” she stated, before hearing a group of guys call Dan over. The boy turned around and gave the group a small wave before turning back to Alice, saying, “well, I’ll see you at school on Monday.” Turning away, he ran up to greet his drunk buddies. No use in explaining to him she highly doubted her and Kate wouldn’t be transferred someplace else before Monday. By that time, she’d most likely already start getting settled into a new school and an entirely different wonderland.

Kate had a score to settle and when Kate had a score to settle nothing else seemed to matter. Earlier that night, she’d come to Alice with a grin and successfully secured herself a ride for the night. Alice was the perfect companion for getting up to no good and Kate was ready to get up to no good. After today, no doubt by tomorrow one of their social workers would be on their doorstep shuffling them off to another place and another school. So really it didn’t matter what kind of trouble Kate got up to tonight. Even if Alice didn’t quite agree on that point.

Kate threw open the red door and let the drunken odor and clouds of smoke envelope her like a well-known friend. The first thing her eyes landed on was a lanky redhead doing a keg stand and all the walking testosterone boys standing around him chanting out, “Malcolm! Malcolm! Malcolm!” Sighing Kate moved to the left away from the circle of idiocy. She had a target and she couldn’t get distracted. Though she did pick up an incriminating red cup, downing the amber liquid with determination.

“Out of my way.” She hissed at a guy whose drunken stumbling didn’t let him get out of the way in time. She followed up her verbal warning by grabbing him by the scruff of his neck and shoving him out of the way. Kate did a quick scan of what appeared to be some sort of TV room. No sign of the brute known as Brianna. Then Kate went for the stairwell.

Whenever Kate and Alice moved schools, Kate never really took too long to find herself a nemesis of sorts. Kate just didn’t take well to people thinking they were better than her, and her years apart from Alice in group homes taught her that they best way to let someone they pissed you off was with your fists. Brianna thought she ruled the school because no one ever stood up to her, but Kate just couldn’t let things lie. A snarky insult here, a rougher than necessary bump there. At lunch that day things kind of exploded between them when Brianna tipped her lunch on Kate. Unfortunately, Brianna had chosen to have juice, noodles and chips for lunch. So then Kate, not one to let anything blow over, reacted as her case worker often liked to say, ‘in an unhelpful manner.’

After the fight between Kate and Brianna got split up, surprisingly by the history teacher who was known for his nervous stutter and tweed jackets, they were separated and sent home. Now Kate was out for blood though, she wanted to give Brianna a black eye, to match the one Brianna had given her. Kate had caught sight of herself in a mirror earlier and the eye was already multiple shades of purple and blue. Kate knew a bit about black eyes and this one was going to be a real nasty one.

Once Kate got upstairs she started opening doors without any care who might be on the other side in various states of undress. “Brianna.” She called throwing open a door to find an affectionate couple who were unfortunately above the covers. One of the boys looked up with a scowl, squinting at the light being let in by the door. Kate just rolled her eyes and sent him a ‘deal with it’ look before closing the door and trying the next door with a familiar call of, “Brianna.”

Kate gritted her teeth in annoyance. Brianna wasn’t upstairs. Deciding Alice must be here by now, she patted down her pockets. Though when her hand came up empty Kate realized with some annoyance that her phone must have fallen out in Alice's car. She could imagine it now in the crack between the chair and door lighting up with some text from her phone provider. "Brianna!" Kate called out again towards a hoard of smelly teenagers at the end of the hall who all turned around with blank faces. They didn't know where she was.

Kate walked out to the landing, where she spotted Alice. Years of always watching Alice's back as she followed her on adventures made Kate kind of an Alice spotting champion. So it was no surprise that she managed to spot her twin immediately. With a grin Kate called out "Alice!" Though Alice didn't notice. Leaning over the railing a bit more she called again, "Lice, up here!"

Kate was immediately distracted though when a girl with purple hair and a bottle in hand approached. "Hey Kaaaaate, I hear you're looking for Brianna-nana." No doubt whatever she had been drinking in her bottle was what was causing her to slur. Kate recognized the purple hair from her English class. The girl always shared morbid poems that always seemed a little bit too try-hard goth. Didn't she hear the goth trend was over? "Yeah, you know where she is?" The girl shrugged with a coy smile, "Out back having a smoke." Kate thanked her and made to find the outdoors. Though she didn't notice the purple haired girl whispering to a few friends and then all of them following Kate, excited for the girl fight Kate was planning on starting.

Wandering outside with purpose, Kate made a point of not coughing when the stench of cigarettes hit her nose, though she itched too."Oi Brianna," Kate called with a grin and a hand on her hip. The group huddled around a green drain pipe all turned around and stepped aside revealing Brianna with a cocked eyebrow. Had she always been to tall and big? Then Kate without saying a word stepped forward and smashed her fist into Brianna's face. She hard a few cheers of 'Girl Fight!' and a few people calling out their names as the two girls went at it.

"The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets."




███ █ █ █ █ █ ██████████████████████████████████

Jacob played things too safe, Elliot thought. Letting those rat-ass demons shadow these girls? What if they were caught? Who would the girls believe then? What a ridiculous plan. That being said, Elliot's plan wasn't any better, since he was heading there by himself. The curly haired boy thought he'd overheard that one or both of the girls might be at this address, but at the end of the day it's hard to trust a demon, and he'd have fun at an American party regardless.

Elli sent one last text before entering the party. Who knew where he would be the next morning. It was for the best Jacob knew where he was.

To: Jacob
@ party. Have fun w your research ...


Okay, he had sort of abandoned Jacob. Their plan was to go together and find the girls. Too many rules, too much control. 'Follow my lead, and let me do all the talking. We don't need to cause trouble. We just need to find the girls.' That's a laugh. Elliot snickered to himself from outside the red, front door. What a diva.

Instead, Elliot decided to go find the girls himself. How hard could it be really? Unfortunately, Elli’s facial recognition was a bust. He'd have to go off of what little he remembered.

Next thing he knew he was pushing the red door open, and out flooded the cliche of American life. Drunk teenagers sprawled over couches. They danced and laughed. The lights were dim, and the bass-heavy music made his ears throb. He loved it. Really, it wasn't any different from a party you'd find England.

Inside he could hear the cheers of a fight, and he was undeniably interested by the atmosphere. Five feet into the party and someone had already spilled their drink down the front of his sweatshirt. He snatched a beer from the nearest cooler, he was going to need it.

Elliot pressed onward, able to twist the the bottle cap off his beverage with the hem of the newly dampened sweatshirt. Joining the nearest group of teenagers he caught only part of conversation. "And that bitch, Miss... What's-Her-Ass?" One intoxicated young man began, struggling to remember some woman's name. He was ginger, freckles spreading from ear to ear, and his arm wrapped around a girl who seemed less than pleased to be there.

"Ms. Dean," the girl suggested dully. She was obviously bored, still the boy rested half of his body weight on her shoulders.

"Ms. Dean was getting on my case about-"

"Yeah, Ms. Dean, she’s mental, have any of you-”

"Your accent?" The ginger was startled by the addition to their small party. Elliot was from England like Jacob, but he spoke with an Irish accent endowed to him by his mother.

Elli shoved his hands in his pockets. "Russian exchange student.” He shrugged politely. “Listen, ye seen an Alice Grey around?" He asked. The ginger shook his head in a daze, probably caught up on the Russian thing. "Well, visit Russia sometime and tell them you know me. Deluxe pagan ritual discounts.” Elliot departed quickly, to avoid any further conversation.

It was around this time he began wishing he would have taken a better look at the girls’ photos. "ALICE?...KATE?" Elliot shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth. He continued to shout this for a good five minutes, but the music was too loud and the people were too drunk. Every so often he would stop a couple girls on his way through the sea of a crowd. "Is your name Alice, my dear?" Elliot would ask. No luck. The cheers grew louder and louder, until he was outside. Fight! Fight! Fight! Two girls fought viciously, and Elliot watched in astonishment, one of them looked vaguely familiar. Then again, the drink was beginning to beat his 150lbs.. Elliot’s ears were ringing and he couldn't tell if it was because of the music or something else. Was she one of the girls? Elliot didn't have a stomach for violence, so he moved on.

Wait a minute, did somebody just shout ‘Kate’?

Jacob laid before him several piles of research on Alice, and Katherine Grey, along with many, many surveillance photos that he had the demons that have been following them to take spread out across his motel bed. Each pile of paper was neatly placed, and stacked in a perfect order. To his left was information on Alice, and to his right was Katherine. The piles were organized by year, with each one representing five years for each girl. Though the in information was mostly the same old thing. They'd go to one foster home, then usually get into some trouble, and would head to another home. It was nothing truly note worthy.

Jacob continued to obsessively mull over all the recorded details of the girls lives. He was looking for something, anything that would give him an edge when they finally do confront them about their parentage. If there was any advantage he could find, he'd have it. He was also looking for any sign of their father making contact with them at any point. But even that was like looking for a needle in a haystack. No matter how many records, and files they find on them it still won't give him the whole picture. So annoying.

His concentration was disturbed by a dinging sound coming from his phone, signaling that he had received a text. Jacob sighed in annoyance as he leaned back on the bed, and unplugged his phone, and picked it up off the nightstand. Jacob's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as he read it. "Elliot you wanker. You'll ruin everything." He muttered to himself.


[To: Elliot]
[You idiot! I'm going to beat the piss out of you! Don't do anything! I'm on my way.]


He quickly replied back. He slid his phone into his jeans pocket, and got off the bed. He grabbed his black leather jacket, and was soon out the door. He didn't have time to inform their demon escort what had happen. He had to go, and deal with Elliot directly. Hopefully he won't cause too much trouble without him there. Or so Jacob hopes. And to do so he needs a ride. He made his way to a black SUV that was being used by some of the demons here. Jacob went up to the car door, and opened it. Demons, they can be a cocky, and arrogant bunch. Leaving their car doors unlocked, not even worrying about lowly humans taking them. Child's play.

Jacob sat down in the driver's seat, and searched the car for a moment, looking to see if the demons were dumb enough to leave the keys in there as well, no such luck. No matter, it wasn't going to be a problem. Jacob reached into his jacket pocket, and pulled out a black pocket knife. He flipped open the knife, and jammed it into the ignition. Using his superhuman strength he was able to turn the knife, using it as a makeshift key to start the car. And then he was off.

Ignoring traffic laws, and other drivers Jacob was able to make great time to the party. Hopefully Elliot didn't have enough time to cause too much trouble. Jacob found himself a parking spot quite a bit away from the party. This night was not going his way. Jacob entered the party not long after, and practically as soon as he walked through the door he was noticed by the females. He saw the looks he got from the girls, the glances, and he could hear the low rumblings of them whispering about him. Wondering who he was, was a new student, and theories about why he's there.

Nothing he wasn't expecting. Unfortunately he turns heads when he goes anywhere. Which is a nice tool to have in the old toolbox, but at times it can be annoying to be constantly watched. He gave a nod, and a polite smile to each girl he passed. But his main focus was to find Elliot. Jacob kept his eyes peeled, scanning his surroundings for both Elliot, and the girls. Maybe he could salvage this night. He didn't like walking in without a game plan. Damn Elliot, and his impatience. Perhaps it'd be easier to break his legs so he can't get anywhere. Jacob chuckled to himself slightly at the thought of it.

Jacob searched the sea of drunken hormones for either Elliot or the sisters, but he saw nothing. He was surprised by how many people were there. And with this atmosphere here was not the ideal scenario to speak with the girls about their situation. He'll have to adapt and think on his feet as usual, and also have to clean Elliot's mess per-usual as well. And then he spotted it, his brother's curly hair across the crowd as a fair amount of party goers headed towards some sort of commotion outside.

Jacob made his way through the crowd, trying his best to maneuver around the crowd of people. As he began to pass a group of roided up apes in lettermen jackets he accidentally bumped into one of them, causing him to spill his alcohol on his shirt. Jacob paid little mind to this, and continued on his way. "Hey-hey watch it asshole!" The jock called out as he grabbed Jacob's shoulder to get his attention. The jock was a young man with short blond hair in a nice and trendy haircut. He was a touch smaller than the other monkeys rocking lettermen jackets, but just from his posture, and tone alone he was the apparent 'alpha male' of his group.

Jacob glared at the man's hand, and rolled his eyes. Jacob glanced ahead of him, losing sight of Elliot. "I don't have time for this rubbish. Don't you have a half-conscious bird to go fondle or whatever it is you privileged athletes do to boozed up females?" Jacob groaned in annoyance, and then brushed off the jock's hand, and tried to walk away. The jock went right back after Jacob, and grabbed his right shoulder once more. "What'd you-u say you limey co-" Jacob interrupted him mid-sentence by reaching over with his left arm, and twisted the guy's wrist.

The jock let out a yelp of pain. In seemingly one motion Jacob slammed his right elbow into the jock's chest, hitting him dead center, and knocking the wind out of the inebriated athlete. As he doubled over Jacob quickly grabbed him by the back of his head, and bounced his face off of his knee. The jock fell to the ground with a busted up nose that began gushing blood. Jacob turned around to see his friends not too happy with him laying out their leader, or whatever he was.

"I really don't have time for this. The dickhead had it coming." Jacob stated. But they weren't having any of his explanations. The largest among them, in both height and mass was the first to come towards him. The guy was a mountain of a man, barely looking like he belonged in highschool. Jacob let out another annoyed sigh. Once the giant got close enough Jacob merely delivered a huge uppercut, which hit the jock with enough force to actually give him some lift off the ground. The giant fell backward, and landed in the arms of the two athletes that were backing him up, with the two of them barely being about the catch the mass of muscles.

When the trio of jocks looked up Jacob was gone. As the three were distracted Jacob took this moment to get back to the task at hand, and disappeared into the sea of people. He went with the flow that was heading outside to the fight that was apparently going on. He heard the name Kate being bounced around among the crowd, it was as good as any spot to find Katherine given her aggression nature. And assuming Elliot heard the same thing as him he would most likely go outside to investigate as well. That is of course assuming he's actually interesting in finding the girls.

Once outside he scanned the crowd for any sign of Elliot, or the girls. Though he failed to see any of them. But then he saw glimpses of the two girls fighting that the crowd was gathering around. No mistaking it, he's positive that it's Kate. Jacob let out an annoyed sigh. Why did he always have to be the mature one? Jacob made his way through the crowd, pushing, and shoving people aside without a care until he was in front of the crowd. Looking upon the two girls fighting Jacob rolled his eyes. He brought up his hand, and released a loud whistle to get their attention on him.

"Ladies, I'm sure whatever your grievance with one another can wait." He stated in calm, and soft voice, trying to bring out the charm of his accent. He then flashed a pearly white smile towards Kate. "I'm afraid I need to borrow Ms. Grey here for a moment. So please Katherine if you come with me this'll only take a moment." He continued to keep up his calm manner, though she really wasn't going to have much of a choice in the matter. He'll carry her out kicking and screaming if he has to.

"Oh, and I'll also need to speak with your sister as well. If you could be so kind as to call her here, it'd be much appreciative. I have urgent matters to discuss with the both of you." He added. "Hey you limey cocksucker, we aren't finished asshole! I'm gonna kick your ass!" The familiar voice of the jock he had just laid out called out behind him. The jock had a crooked nose, and bloody napkins sticking out of his nostrils. Jacob groaned, and rolled his eyes as he turned around to face him, and his posse. "Wow, I do believe that entire statement was belligerent, racist, and homophobic all at once. And here I thought that all the stereotypes of Americans were exaggerations. Your mum must be so proud." Jacob smirked.

"Mate, I suggest you and your fellow roided up knob jockeys walk away before I embarrass you further." Jacob warned him. But this only pissed off the jock even more. The jock marched over to Jacob, and wound up his arm for a punch. Jacob easily dodged his attack. He's used to fighting with demons, and they are considerably stronger, and faster than a human. Dealing with this idiot would be like fighting a drunk toddler.

Jacob side stepped another punch, but this time he grabbed the jock's wrist. Jacob twisted his wrist, and then quickly jabbed the jock in his throat, muffling any screams of pain he might let out. Jacob swept the jock's leg, and pulled his arm forward, causing the jock to completely flip over before he was dropped to the ground. Still holding his wrist, Jacob stepped on the jock's shoulder, and began slowly twisting his arm. Jacob placed all of his weight to his foot, keeping him pinned to the ground. "Now, I'm not going to pretend to know anything about, what I'm guessing from the jackets, American football. But I'm guessing having an intact arm is rather important correct?"

"So, let me let you in on a little secret. A bruised ego mends faster than a broken arm. You're gonna walk away right now before I get really angry, are we clear?" Jacob asked, keeping his cool, and calm tone. When the jock didn't answer him Jacob twisted his arm harder. "I said, are we clear?!" "Yes!" The jock finally responded back. "Good man." Jacob replied. Before he released the jock Jacob took his hand, and grabbed his pinky finger. Jacob then proceeded to pull the pinky all the way back, making a unsettling crackling sound as he broke the finger.

Jacob released his arm, and allowed him to get up, and crawl away with his tail between his legs, along with his friends. Jacob turned back to face the girls, and adjusted his jacket. "Terribly sorry about that luv, men and their bravado. Hope you understand. Shall we go someplace to talk Katherine? We have important matters to attend to."

A couple of minutes passed by, and there was no reply via text nor call from Kate. That either meant one of two things; Kate had left her phone in Alice’s car yet again, or her hands were already too preoccupied throwing Brianna around to have time to text her back. She really wished she'd just glued Kate’s phone to her face before she left the car. It would make life much more easy.

Shifting herself away from the wall, Alice decided to make rounds again in search for Kate, but a voice calling her name distracted her if only for a moment. It wasn’t one she recognized, that was for sure. She had never met an Irish person, and was extremely curious to know why the curly-mop headed boy was here in the first place looking for her. In any other circumstance she would go up and ask, but she hadn’t the time. She needed Kate, and they both needed to get out of the party as soon as possible. So, she settled with taking a picture of the Irish-boy before he managed to squeeze himself outside.

Alice was quick to note the amount of others shuffling over outside as well, trying to cram themselves out of there in an almost hysterical un-orderly manner. Shouts of “Fight!", “Brianna!” and most alarmingly, “Kate!” could be heard chanted from various different people and it wasn’t hard to put two and two together. Alice was going to give Kate hell for not waiting for her, no matter how empathetic she’d previously felt that her sister had a bruised eye. She could only imagine how she looked now, and couldn't even begin to think of how bad Brianna looked. That would be a rough sight to see.

Deciding she wouldn't take her chances of trying to follow the sea of people flooding through the small patio doorway, knowing very well that her short stature would just manage to help her get trampled, pushed, and shoved, she quickly knew what she needed to do. She needed to get to a high up place to be able to see everything clearly, and she needed to act as a distraction so Kate would have an easy advantage of slipping away. The highest place she could think of going? The roof. Running and slipping through the crowd as quick as she could, Alice ducked under arms and quickly cheated her body sideways in order to slip between the small spaces of people. The last thing she knew she needed to do was spill someone’s drink and get pulled back and yelled at by some overly beefy dude like another boy seemed to have done a few feet away from her.

Running up the stairs, she opened the first door to her right, knowing that if a window was in there it would likely be facing the backyard. What she hadn’t expected was to find a couple already up there doing something that she would rather not have seen, but all Alice could do at that moment was avert her eyes, apologizing in a flustered tone with adding, “ I need to borrow your window!” Racing over to the small window, she opened it up and popped out the screen. The lightweight screen unfortunately fell unto someone’s head, to which she called out, “sorry!” before standing on the, thankfully, wide window sill. Latching her hands onto the edge of the small, wood and shingled awning above the window, she stepped off the ledge and let herself hang for only a moment, before she lifted her weight unto the small roof. She couldn’t stand on this little bit for long, however, knowing that these small decorative roofs weren’t meant for people to stand upon, but mostly to avert rain off the sides.

Alice took a moment to glance over to where people crowded around, and wasn’t the least bit surprised to see her dear sister and Brianna right smack in the center of it all. Even she couldn’t stop the audible groan that left her mouth. In a quicker fashion then before, Alice turned around and grabbed onto the edge of the roof, praying to God that the rain gutter would support her just long enough to pull herself onto the much larger, higher, and safer platform the roof provided. It took her all if five second to pull herself up and stand, now at the advantage point she needed.

She was about to holler something out to distract Brianna, but before she could, a boy who looked to be the one who previously was in a scuffle inside approached the two in a calm manner, saying something which, considering Alice’s distance and the loudness of the party, she couldn’t hear. None the less, it seemed to gain their attention for only a minute, but knowing Kate, she was sure whatever he was saying could wait until she decided she was done with Brianna. Alice on the other hand knew that now was the time for Kate to be done with Brianna and to leave whether she liked it or not. She just needed to get Brianna away from her.

Alice cleared her throat slightly, as she was going to have to speak pretty damn loud in order for Brianna to hear her. Without thinking much of what she was doing, she hollered, “hey, Brianna, smile for the camera!” before the previously pristinely manicured girl, whose nose was now bloodied, hair was a mess, and all around just looked plain terrible shot her head around to see where the voice had come from. Finally, Brianna spotted Alice on the roof, and in the split second she had, Alice lifted up her camera and took a few zoomed in shots of the girl in her rough state. Alice wasn’t one to do mean things to people, but it wasn’t like she would spread these pictures around. If anything, she would just make one Kate’s birthday card for next year. Right now, however, all she was concerned about was getting the reaction she had been hoping for.

An almost half-scream, half-growl ripped out of Brianna’s throat as she hollered out to Alice, “you crazy bitch, give me that camera!” Alice quickly dropped down off the roof and back onto the awning, making it seem like she was about to go back into the window in which she had crawled out from originally. Brianna took the bait and shot inside like a rocket, likely on her way to great Alice by smashing her camera into bits and pieces, and then smashing her face into a wall. She had to get out before that happened. Letting herself hang from the awning once more, instead of swinging back into the window, Alice let herself drop the few feet, bending her knees slightly, keeping them unlocked as she braced for the impact of the ground beneath her. Alice was always one to climb and go up to high places, so knew very well how to land properly from a high drop. It came in handy a lot of the time. As she landed on her feet, Alice spared little to no time at all, calling over to her sister who still stood beside the boy who seemed to have just gotten into the same scuffle with the dude from inside, “Kate, you’re going to have to flirt another day, we have to go now!

Kate landed a solid hit on Brianna’s jaw, smiling broadly when she heard a satisfying crack. Kate always knew that she and Alice were stronger than most the other kids there age, which Kate always theorised was due to them having a body builder dad or something. Generally Kate tried to hold back and blend in. Not tonight though, she was in no state of mind to hold back.

Though before she could land another hit on Brianna, the larger girl kicked out Kate’s leg. Kate landed on her hands and knees just in time to take Brianna’s knee to her side. Though when Brianna tried to do the same with her boot, Kate grabbed her foot and twisted until Brianna landed on the ground next to her. With a grin Kate jumped up over Brianna and grabbed her hair and the two started tousling on the ground. Kate took a few more blows to her side but she made sure Brianna got the worst of it.

However before either of them could get too hurt a sharp whistle cut through the air, causing both of the now dirt stained girls to pause in place. "Ladies, I'm sure whatever your grievance with one another can wait." Both girls pushed away from each other as if the other were poison. Jumping to their feet they looked around to see a perfectly handsome British guy had made his way to the front of the crowd. Brianna gave Kate a look as she edged past her, even running a hand through her tangled mess of hair. So perfectly sure the attractive guy was here for her. "I'm afraid I need to borrow Ms. Grey here for a moment. So please Katherine if you come with me this'll only take a moment. Oh, and I'll also need to speak with your sister as well. If you could be so kind as to call her here, it'd be much appreciative. I have urgent matters to discuss with the both of you." Kate gave Brianna a smug look as she moved to walk past her over to the guy. Though Brianna stuck out a foot causing Kate to stumble a little. Which in a bit of a knee jerk reaction, Kate threw an elbow into the blonde’s side. Then they were on the precipice of another fight.

Before that though, they were once again stopped by an outside influence. “Hey, Brianna, smile for the camera!” Kate gave a proud smile as she saw her sister standing high up above everyone with that damned camera in hand. After Alice got a few snaps, Kate looked to Brianna who had a ugly, bloody cut across her jaw, real roughed up hair and even more blood spewing from her nose. Then Kate let out a full bellied laugh. She’d been on the receiving end of Alice’s ‘surprise photography’ many, many times. Now she was just glad that camera was trained on someone else for Kate’s gain.

Kate watched her sister just long enough to see her safe on the ground before she turned back to the handsome Brit from before. Though she only saw his back. Peering around it she saw him grabbing a guy’s arm in what looked like a painful lock. Not just any guy either it was Mark their school’s quarterback and all round douche bag. Kate would know, they’d hooked up once or twice since she’d moved here. Her eyebrows raised in shock as she watched him twist. The guy hadn’t looked like a fighter. "So, let me let you in on a little secret. A bruised ego mends faster than a broken arm. You're gonna walk away right now before I get really angry, are we clear?" Once Mark agreed, the guy grabbed his pinky and bent it back until Kate heard it break. Her jaw fell open.

Then he turned back to her with an all too casual tug on his jacket. If Kate had just beaten a guy that good she’d be teeming with pride, not shrugging it off. "Terribly sorry about that luv, men and their bravado. Hope you understand. Shall we go someplace to talk Katherine? We have important matters to attend to."

Kate frowned a little before flashing him coy smile and trying to wipe some of the blood off her face. “Okay, so long as you promise to teach me that little move there,” She said with a flirtatious tone of voice reaching up to place her hand on his arm. “We can go wherever you want.” Though in all seriousness, she did really want to learn how he did that.

“Kate, you’re going to have to flirt another day, we have to go now!” Kate groaned taking back her hand before it touched him. Then she flashed him a cheeky grin, “Although, my mother did raise me not to talk to strangers.” She winked at him before racing off to hook her arm through Alice’s and walk them both back inside. Though she did yell over her shoulder, "And it's Kate. Not Katherine."

“Did you see that Alice!” Kate said with a laugh. She leaned in closer to Alice’s ear so that she could be heard. “I totally got her back tenfold for today. Plus you got photographic evidence of it all, what a good little sister you are.” Kate loved Alice, so it didn’t matter what happened next or where they got sent, so long as they were together, Kate believed nothing bad could happen. Whilst they were negotiating the crowded house, Kate sneaked a look over her shoulder to look for the English guy. There was something about him she couldn't quite put her finger on.

That was when she ran into a girl holding a cup at a precarious tilting angle. The cup bounced out of her hand, dropping it's contents on an unsuspecting curly haired boy. Kate gave a shrug to the guy with an unaffected look. "Too bad so sad. Might want to get that cleaned up." Then she turned back to Alice, "C'mon, let's go Alice."

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, but Elliot was having a hard time seeing straight. Was it the fact that the girls were here? Nothing he could have learnt from the demon world would have prepared him for this.

He managed to get a grip for a moment and the next thing he knew his ogre of a brother was pushing through the crowd to heroically stop the fight. Elliot knew after he'd sent the text, Jacob wouldn't be too far behind. In any case, Elliot thought they worked better without a plan. Although, Jacob's lack of tact didn't help very much.

Elliot watched him pull the girls off each other, and a flash of light nearly blinded him from above. Elliot searched the sky for the UFO that would surely abduct them all, but there was no spaceship above the party. He caught sight of the girl with the camera atop the roof. Elliot watched in amusement as one of the girls from the fight saw Camera Girl. Unfortunately, his view was blocked behind the hoards of people. "Are ye kidding me?" He found himself saying. The girl from the fight that had been photographed was now aggressively pursuing the photographer. Camera Girl was able to fool her easily enough. The crazy one ran inside while Camera Girl hopped off the awning.

Jacob seemed specifically concerned with the same girl that sparked Elliot's interested earlier. So she was one of them. Camera Girl safely made it away from the house, grabbing who must have been Kate on her way! Elliot started towards them again, but a football player elbowed him in the rib cage, just about knocking him over.

Briefly, Elliot could feel his vision go blurry, preventing him from shouting profanities at the jock. Had he been drugged? He tried to remember if he had set his drink down.

Elli had probably been drugged at least once. One time, he'd gotten himself into the back entrance of a club around the age of fifteen. The club had an atmosphere very much like the party he was currently at. In retrospect, Elliot must have looked incredibly young at a club like that. Someone bought him a drink and he blacked out. The next morning, Elli woke up unharmed and home. Jacob, no doubt, had gotten him out of the situation. Strangely enough, it was one of the best night's sleep Elli had ever had. The dizzy feeling wasn't quite the same, so he accessed he hadn't been drugged.

Elliot regained his composure, but it was only a matter of time someone spilled yet another beverage on him. Not only was his sweatshirt ruined, but at this point, so was his night. His patience was beginning to run out."Who the fuck d'you think y' are?" Elliot began shouting, examining his damp and sticky sweatshirt. He began removing it only to see the cause of the spill was Kate herself!

"Too bad so sad. Might want to get that cleaned up." The sister showed little remorse, pushing past the skinny boy. Looking to Camera Girl, Kate said, "C'mon, let's go Alice."

Elliot gaped at the sight of both girls right in front of him. The sisters were clearly booking it, and the crazy girl from the fight wouldn't be long now. Just about a million ideas of how to stop the sisters went through Elli's curly haired head, before his frustration got the best of him. He caught Kate by the arm. "Hey!" Elliot growled. "My clothes are just about ruined for the evening, my brother thinks he's a goddamn ninja spy, and we only need five minutes to speak with both of you."

From behind the girls, the sound of laughter captured Elliot's attention. Crazy had found herself outside, and was now wildly searching for Kate and Camera Girl. Elliot cringed. "But perhaps now isn't a good time."

Following Kate's own coy smile, Jacob tilted his head slightly. 'Child's play.' He smirked in his mind. Perhaps this would be easier than he thought. If things keep up at this pace he doubts he can even be too angry at Elliot for jumping the gun. With her flirtatious tone Jacob raised his elbow, holding it out for her to grab onto, ready to escort her somewhere more private. But then they were interrupted by her sister. Jacob's bright smile began to dim when she ran off with her sister. Once she was no longer facing him his smile began to turn into his usual cool demeanor.

'Hmmph, spoke too soon.' As they left the girl that Kate had been fighting with earlier brushed past him as she chased after the sisters. Then a crowd began to form around Jacob. Various people began asking him all sorts of questions about himself. He had clearly became the most interesting person at the party. Jacob groaned as the girls got further and further away. He glared at crowd in front of him, pushing a path through the crowd as he made his way to the fence in the backyard. Once there he hopped over it, deciding to cut them off rather than try to swim through the crowd between them.

Jacob quickly circled around the house, and got to the front door. Jacob's right eyebrow began to twitch vigorously. He was beginning to get annoyed. Jacob slammed the door open, popping the bottom hinges right out of the frame. He was so done with this mission. Jacob bulldozed his way through the small crowd that separated him from the girls, and now Elliot too. Good, he wasn't feeling like going through the crowd and dragging his ass outside. Two birds, one stone.

Coming up from behind them Jacob yanked Alice's camera from out of her hand, using his strength to force it from her. He glared over at Alice, narrowing his eyes, giving her a rather intimidating look while keeping his face devoid of emotion. Jacob fiddled around with her camera until he took the memory card out. He then gave the rest of the camera back to her. "Enough of this. We have more important matters to attend to Ms. Grey." He stated as he pushed through the crowd, and towards the girl that was chasing them. Jacob placed his hand in his jacket pocket, and yanked a couple of alcohol from an unsuspecting person's hand.

Once he was face to face with this Brianna, Jacob took his hand out of his pocket, and showed her the memory card. He held up the cup of beer, and dropped it inside. Jacob's expression had softened, and he held a charming smile. "Now there, Brianna was it? I couldn't let pictures of such a delicate creature at her worse get out now could I?" He stated as he brought up his hand to brush some of bloody hair out of her face. He pushed her chin up slightly so she was staring into his eyes.

"Now, how long do you think those Grey twins will be going to your school after this? I don't believe it's worth all the stress to get revenge on them, especially since they won't be attending your school anymore? It's beneath such a vision of beauty such as yourself. Wouldn't you agree Brianna?" Jacob then caressed her cheek with his hand. She nodded slowly in compliance, being nearly hypnotized by sweet words, and accent. He leaned in closer to her face, being mere inches from touch her. As she began to pucker her lips, expecting a kiss Jacob pulled away abruptly. "Some things are better left to the imagination."

And with that Jacob returned to the others. His smile soon turned into a glare as he looked Elliot. "I'll deal with you later." He stated. Jacob looked over at Alice, and lifted up his hand, brushing some of her hair out of her face while keeping his eyes locked into hers. "Now that that's taken care of, we have more important business to attend to." Jacob then opened up his hand, revealing the perfectly intact memory card. He had switched the card with a quarter when he dropped it in the cup. He brought his hand down to hers, and placed the card in her hand.

"Besides, I'm not taking no for an answer." Jacob then abruptly grabbed Kate by her arm. "Sorry luv, but in all fairness you will want to hear what we have to say. Doesn't every orphan want to know about where they come from?" Jacob stated with a sideways grin. He glanced down at his hand, as it began to feel very hot, and started to glow a fiery orange. He jerked his hand away from her arm, and stared at it.

The hand began emitting intense heat. "Shit." He groaned as he realized what was happening. His powers were awakened, and he instantly recognized what clan he belonged to, Ignis. Jacob backed away slowly from them, and then small bursts of fire began spouting out of his hand. "Bloody hell!" He yelled out. He backed away, and straight into a table of refreshments. He placed his other hand on the table to keep himself from falling down, but then his other hand began to glow, and the table to burst into flames. Jacob backed away from the table in a slight panic. This was nothing like he was expecting. Jacob looked down at both his hands, who were now engulfed in flames. He looked up at the others, with his eyes glowing a fiery orange.

Alice had a hard time holding back her constant eye rolls at most of the things Kate states, but when she exclaimed with complete giddiness "Did you see that Alice!", she really couldn't stop her green eyes from twisting in a state of exasperation, though, Alice was admittedly a little amused by the whole thing. Sticking her elbow into her sisters rip lightly and teasingly, she argued back, "hey, well it's sort of my job to save your ass, especially when you're the little sister." Alice flashed a bright and teasing smile as she looked up to her sister, twisting and turning through the crowd as she tried to make her way out the door. However, that one small moment of exchange between her sister had made Alice slightly less unaware of her surrounding and when she turned her attention back, her sister ran right into a girl holding a damned plastic cup, reigning it's contents down on the curly headed boy who had oddly been calling her name previously.

Alice shot her sister a disappointed look at her comment she made to the boy, and chastised her by letting out a low, "Kate," in warning. But after the boy made his loud exclamation and grabbed hold of her sister rather forcefully, Alice's demeanor changed from previously sour towards her sister, to plain pissed off at the new Irish subject in front of her. "Hey, we're sorry we ruined your shirt I'll give you cash for a new one, but get your god damn hands off my sister," she warned, her words hard as she reached over to rip his hand off of Kate, but was stopped short by someone ripping her camera right out from under her.

Whipping around, thinking she was going to come face to face with Brianna, she was surprised to see it was the boy who had previously been talking to her sister. Brit boy was giving her a look that she assumed was supposed to read 'back off', but at this point in time, Alice was just silently seething at all the events that had already happened to even give a damn about the threatening look in his face. After all, she'd had to deal with much worse than a guy who though he was charming as all hell and had a good punch. Kate and Alice had come across many of those types - most of whom flirted with Kate just like this one had previously.

Alice, already having been not in the mood when he first pried her camera away, was especially not in the mood for his little stunt of dropping her memory card into a drink. Alice couldn't even watch as the boy talked Brianna away, her large eyes were fixed on the plastic cup. All her work, her memories, gone. Absolutely gone. She can't ever remember a time at having been so utterly mad at a person she'd just met. Usually it took up a lot of time for her to get to worked up and Alice could just brush it off, but this dude was absolutely intolerable. She would have walked away and yanked Kate away awhile ago, but between them clearly wanting to talk to them and knowing their names, and now this, she not only wanted to know what the hell was going on, but she also wanted to punch blond-y in the nose. That was never really a want she'd ever had before in her life.

Snapping out of it as a hand touched her face then her hair, Alice noticeably jerked her face away, giving glares her the boy he slid the memory card in her hand. Taking her camera back gently, she flashed a careful look to her sister, and just about nearly cut his hand off as he grabbed Kate just like the other had done previously. But, she didn't want to waste the energy on him anymore. Kate could take care of herself, that had only been proven time and time again. So instead, she dropped her gaze from blonde boy and turned her attention to the Irish boy, questioning, "how do you know who we are and why were you calling out my name earlier?"

The theme of the night clearly seemed to be interruption, because just as she finished her sentence, there went blonde boy once again, but this time he yelled out a cry of possible pain or frustration. Turning around to stare at the clearly odd spectacle, Alice didn't even begin to question that whole thing, because as soon as the table caught on fire, her mind went to emergency mode and adrenaline shot though her. Well, she defiantly didn't trust this guy now. Turing to Kate quickly, she told her sternly, "Go to the car, I'll meet you there." before brushing right by the Irish boy, feeling a noticeable shiver of almost a cold sickness wash over her. Looking at him oddly for a moment, she quickly snapped out of it when she saw a guy about to dump his drink on the flame. She barley made it over in time to knock it right out of his hand, frustratingly telling him as she did, "you can't just go and dump alcohol on a fire, it'll make it worse!" The boy was too stunned to hear her. Alice rolled her eyes, ignoring the sick feeling that got progressively more noticeable in the pit of her stomach and she pushed herself through the crowd and into the kitchen, yelling back intending for the Irish boy to hear, "look for a fire extinguisher while I get water!. If they wanted to talk, he was going to need to help.

Most people had left the kitchen in order to go into the living room to see what happened, but there was one woman still in the kitchen, and wow, did she ever look peculiar. As soon as Alice made eye contact with her, it felt almost as if she had slammed into a wall. She felt clammy and cold, and like her breath was trying to be yanked right out of her throat. The woman looked... familiar. She had scarily similar facial structure to her sister, but her skin was too pale and sickly to look as lively as her sisters did. The strangest thing about her however was that she wore a hospital gown. She nearly looked dead. Stepping hesitantly towards to woman, the woman matched her steps with immaculate precision; she was a mirror image almost. "Are you alright? Do you need a ride to the hospital?" Alice questioned softly, still approaching her until they were only a few steps away from one another. The woman just stared back, her wide green eyes boring into Alice's matching one's. She said nothing, but her mouth was slightly parted as if she wanted too. Alice went to reach out to touch her shoulder, but the woman jerked back almost violently, breaking their mirrored movement. Alice's eyes widened in shock, and she hummed, "No, It's aright- What's your name?" The closer Alice examined the woman, who looked to be in and around her twenties, the more grave she looked. "Alice" the woman managed to finally gasp out - her voice seeming more like a whisper in her head then anything said allowed. the sick feeling shook Alice more violently, and she couldn't say anything back.

"Alice," the woman repeated more urgently, her breathless whisper carrying on as she stated more fiercely, "Alice, Katherine. Run."

As Kate was ready to steer Alice away from the now wet, curly haired boy. Alice gave a warning about Kate's behavior that Kate ignored. Though only seconds later the was proved right as the Irish guy grabbed her arm."Hey! My clothes are just about ruined for the evening, my brother thinks he's a goddamn ninja spy, and we only need five minutes to speak with both of you." Alice jumped in to smooth things over and protect Kate, which she always did in a way that warmed Kate's heart. They may not have had many people in their corner, but they had each other. Though Kate was more concerned with a certain brother. Surely he couldn't be talking about that guy. She didn't have to think very long, the British guy from earlier came strolling in and straight over to them.

Kate rolled her eyes and pulled her arm out of the grip of the curly haired guy. "Stalk much?" She said sarcastically. Then the guy grabbed Alice's camera and pulled out the memory card. Her jaw fell open though when he put it in the cup. Kate looked hesitantly over at her sister. She put her hand on Alice's back and leaned in close to her ear so she could whisper, "I'll seriously kick his ass for you." Kate knew how much that meant to Alice. All her work was on that thing and this douche thought he could just throw it all away. Kate seriously regretted ever thinking he was attractive. Then Kate quickly added on, "Unless you want to do the honors." Most people tended to think Kate was the only sister with a good right hook, since Kate was the one always showing how ready she was for a fight. Kate knew from some more limited experience that Alice could hit with the best of them.

Kate looked back at the Brit actually flirting with Brianna. Kate made a big show of fake gagging. Now she definitely regretted flirting with him. He left Brianna and came back to the group. Though Kate was shocked to see him drop the memory card of Alice's camera back safely into her hand. Kate leaned forward to try and see Alice's face, she wanted to know if the beat down was still on. She didn't get a chance to see as she was roughly grabbed by the other brother this time. What about her said, 'grab my arm, take me with you'? "Sorry luv, but in all fairness you will want to hear what we have to say. Doesn't every orphan want to know about where they come from?" He said.

Kate frowned and tried to get out of his grip. "Not this orphan," She lied. Of course she had always wanted to know where she came from, but she hated anyone thinking they knew her. Especially this guy. Then Kate felt an intense heat in her arm that stung quite a bit. "Shit!" She said about to jerk he arm away but he released it staring at his own hand. Which Kate had to admit she was staring at as well as it was practically glowing orange. Kate did a check of her arm to make sure he hadn't go any of that glow-y shit on her, but her arm was clear.

Then some sort of havoc ensued. The guy backed away before started well- This may sound stupid but Kate's careful eye definitely saw fire grow from his hands. The refreshments table caught fire and the guy seemed to just stand there with hands on fire. Kate stood just staring at him. Luckily Alice went in safety mode. She gave a few people instructions and to Kate she said, "Go to the car, I'll meet you there." Alice used a tone that didn't allow you to disobey. Then to the Irish boy she yelled out, "look for a fire extinguisher while I get water!."

Kate turned to the Irish boy and was said with a hand on her hip, "You better go help my sister." Then Kate with one last look at the British guy she said "You should probably go outside." She disappeared through the front door. When Alice got like this, Kate found it very hard to go against her. Plus Kate's stomach was doing flips. She made it outside the door but she sort of stumbled to the side holding her stomach. She felt like she was going to puke. Which was weird because she was sure she hadn't drunk that much. Kate sort of stumbled her way to the car and braced herself against the side door.

Kate fell to one knee and prepared herself for vomit. Though she shocked when she looked at the hand she had placed on the ground to steady herself. It had feathers attached to the back of it. She frowned but tucked the hand into her pocket. She hoped Alice wouldn't take too long, Kate's stomach felt ready to explode and apparently she was hallucinating.
