         James

Numb by his decisions, watching the consequences and repercussions appear as shining nightmares in front of him, James had no other responses to give. Not even to Zara. She sobbed in front of him, lost and in pain. And he had no words.

"I..." he tried, but that felt too thick. "He..." but speaking of him would only make the reality of the situation even more real. Blood had spattered on their clothes. A man lay dying. No...dead. Lay dead and gone and from Mikhail's hand. His bent and broken hand...

James hugged Zara, for himself and for her, trying to find and give comfort all at once. But he wasn't Hallie. He couldn't know what he accomplished when he willed his mind to Zara's, hoping to calm her down so that they could figure this out. What she said last hung in the air though, and James could see it on the adults' faces.

Something was happening to them.

         ?

         "There you go Miss Logan, a stout nurse says as she attempts to hand Anna her clothing neatly folded in a small pile. Seeing the solemn look on the girls face, she submitted to the her reluctance to speak and she placed them on the end of the bed. The curtain made a harsh grating noise as the iron rings scraped across the meager divider the set her bed apart from the others in the infirmary.
As Anna slowly began to sit up, a pang of nausea struck her, and she lunged for the pale sitting just within reach. As she lurched into the container the sheet barely clung to her naked body, and chills ran down her spine. She had spent the last week like this, tired and inflicted with stomach pains. It wasn't anything she wasn't used to, her frail body was rejecting the overwhelming amount of information she was absorbing in her short time at the academy.
Today she was able to return to her classes, though she had missed out on joining the other's on the newest mission. Luckily her her school work was delivered to her by a rather quirky teaching assistant. Each day a little note from her roommate Adrein was tucked into the bindings of her books, wishing her well in his silly little way. Since the others had left though, she missed him, something she wasn't quite used to yet.
Thinking back, before she arrived, she never remembered missing anyone before. It made her smile, knowing that she really could make friends like normal girl. Wiping her mouth she set the pale down and began pulling her clothes back on, and braiding her long black hair. Though the doctor and nurses all wore gloves while examining her, having so much skin exposed was unnerving, and the feel of cotton covering her skin once more was pleasant and comforting.

The halls were eerily silent, only the sound of her boots clicking against the floor echoed through against the old stone walls. Unsure of when the others would return, she simply made her way past the baths and toward the library. It seemed that she wasn't the only one still in the school. An older girl she recognized was chatting on her cell phone as she walked past. Anna dropped her head as she walked, she felt so small, so young compared to some of the others, especially pretty girls like her. Her gate quickened as she made her way down the hall, barely noticing the new boy lounging in the bath. As soon as she realized he was there however, a blush rose on her cheeks, she was still not used to the thought of naked guys. Especially cute ones...

The thick wooden doors of the library swung open much easier than she anticipated, and she sighed with relief as the familiar smell of books filled the air. After browsing the shelves, she pulled a thick leather-bound book from it's place on the shelf, and plopped down in a large, soft lazy chair. As she blew dust off the cover and opened up the pages she soon became lost in the beauty of John Milton's Paradise Lost.

         Cristopher couldn't help but laugh a little bit. He slid his left arm under her body and pulled her in close, trying to turn her so that she wasn't lying on her front anymore but was rather facing him on the bed. His other hand went to her thigh and slowly slid up her leg. His eyes flicked down to were her tail would be a moment before it appeared and he couldn't help but look again with a little amazement. He'd seen a lot of things in his life but this one was most certainly going to be in the record books. He leaned, kissing up from the base of her neck slowly till her got to her ear. He nibbled on it a little as he spoke. "I think it would just be more fun if I made you guess"

         Mikhail cocked his head in mild interest as Circus talked to a little spirit girl. Even though he couldn't see her, he guessed that she wasn't very fond of him, judging by Circus's narrations. Well...he couldn't really blame her. A guy hanging off a ceiling was kinda weird. Almost as weird as a guy talking to invisible people.

"That's a pretty cool power you got there, aha!" Circus said to him.

Mikhail shrugged, then jumped off the ceiling and landed on the floor a few feet away from him. "I guess. But my last...employer didn't seem to think so. If it wasn't for this...power, I guess, I'd still have my job."

He walked over to the bed that was least rumpled and flopped onto it. He stretched, then pulled out his iPad again. His belongings were in the room, but he didn't feel like taking out his computer yet. He started a game of Angry Birds, then asked "Is..uh...what's her name...Theresa? Is Theresa still...you know, here?"

Hello, students. You may now enter the dining room. In their you'll have many options for food, enjoy our five star cooking!

Adrien

"FOOD!" Adrien cheered in delight wondering what mystical things he would be able to eat. He enjoyed the life of luxury he began having weeks ago and the School was taking it a step further. He bolted to the dining room as fast as he could screaming "Beat me if you can!"

When Adrien stepped into the dining room he couldn't believe his eyes. There was a HUGE buffet lined before him. He jumped onto the table and started eating until an administrator reprimanded him and forced him into a seat. "Alright, alright, no need to mess up my designer clothes!" He exclaimed.

Zoe

Zoe scowled after Adriens first display of insanity. "What losers" she muttered to herself slowly walking to the dining room. She didn't care about the people or even the food. She wanted to learn how to control her powers, so nothing bad would ever happen again. While walking she looked around at the other students and saw people who could be her roomate. They all seemed bright and peppy. She hated bright and peppy.
