It has been a single week since the Reid Mansion had been attacked by the Collectors. The Evolutionists have been oddly quiet, silently planning their method of recruitment as the Collectors attempt to regain traction after losing three of their own. The mansion has been peaceful, but Scott Carmichael is very aware of a new trouble on the horizon. Protests have erupted over the abnormal population, causing trouble within the Evolutionists plans, as well as causing strains upon the Reid's existence. Scott Carmichael has covered up the attack upon the house, and has kept it safe and secure. It is an early, bright and beautiful morning. Two new residents have joined the house, working for the Evolutionists, and have enjoyed the comforts of the home for at least two days. Everything is quite and calm, with the children tucked neatly into their beds. Things can only go uphill from here.

(Welcome to the third chapter! Everything has been good at the Reid's house, the victims of the Collector's have been settled into the home, the Evolutionist spies have been placed, and Scott Carmichael is on edge. If you are ready, post here!)

Scott

I had been sleeping on the lawn for the last six days. The plastic, pink lawn chair had proven to be my place of residence in these times of hardship, and I found that waking up as the sun rose invoked soreness within me. My neck throbbed with a dull ache as I craned it forward, my eyes begging me to close them once more. "O-okay..." I mumble to myself as I make sure the pistol I had acquired for the house was still at my side. Indeed. Nothing had happened last night. Perfection. I force myself up, cleansing the sand from my eyes. Everything begins to ache as I press my hands to my face and let out a groan "It is better to look out for the house than to not be here at all." I pull the cover I had carried outside last night over my shoulders and I take the keys from my shirt pocket before unlocking the mansion door. I push myself through and notice the empty living room, which had been cleaned up quite well after last week's endeavors. Everything was nice and sweet here now, the kids were getting along well, we had two new children come to the home...and the new guests seemed to have adjusted decently. Jennifer Clemons had attempted to call her parents after a few days, but seems to have lost their phone number, or they had gained brand new ones. I had been attempting to help her with this, but it has been difficult.

I make my way up the stairs silently and head back to my office. I glance back at all the rooms down the way, Jacqueline's room, Sakamoto's room, Helen's...Nellie's and Cyrus's. I make sure I am as silent as possible, and I decide to knock on Carrie's door down the way. She isn't in there. I shake my head and decide against waking anyone else up and head to the office. I slump down at my desk and let out a very long breath. "Okay. Okay. Okay..." I take in an inhale and brush my hair back from my eyes as I lean back in my chair. "Christ I am tired..." I mumble to myself and search around my desk for possible papers. I find a few notes from a few of the residents, as well as one letter I tried not to let anyone know about. It had come in the mail a day or two ago, and it nearly sent my soul soaring from my body. Ripped from various newspapers, the letter was complied with blocky letters and simply read

HoUSE oF ThE FreAKs

I lay the note out on the desk and bite my lip as I lean back once more before I hastily shove it back into the desk. This is not a good thing. I know I need to keep it under wraps for now, because along with the Collectors, I did not need any protestors around my household. These people feed off attention. I will not allow them to have it. I close my eyes tiredly and rub my temple. No one is hurting the kids. Not while I am still around. I rub my brow and get up. I suppose it's time to start breakfast.

Andre



"Andre! Darling~" I hear a familiar voice call out to me as I sleep, and my eyes pry open to see a woman, her eyes blindingly grey. It is her. The grey lady. But...she's different. Younger. Lighter. Sweeter. "You promised me you'd get up to see me~" She coos musically and pulls me from my bed. I glance back and see my body, chest rising slower and forcefully. I glance back at the lady and as I realize, looking down, I am not wearing my nightclothes. I am in a suit now, in a color I would never adorn upon my own body.

"I always keep a promise my love." The words escape me without permission as my arm twirls her around and I suddenly realize I am not in control. I am in someone else's body, observing. "I am sorry I did not awake earlier." My new form pulls her to me, and as I glance around, the room has transformed. This is still my room, but it screams 1960's. Gentle music begins to play and fear rises in my throat.

"Oh...honey..." The lady presses her head to my chest as I sway her back and forth. "I fear this is no longer safe for any of us..." Her hand guides up to my face and draws her fingers across my jaw, as if she is using this to visualize me. She can't see me. The brail book was for her, I figured that much. I must be the one who helped her with those romantic, brail notes. But...I glance down at my attire once again. While it is a tweed suit, I notice the shoes are worn, and the jacket is ripped in some places. It's old. "But I cannot be so certain..."

"Mister Carmichael told us it would be. He promised Reid wasn't the type to let down his...visitors." My voice escapes me once again, but I notice this time it sounds different. Softer, sweeter, higher in pitch. "I think Reid would be rolling over in his grave, honey." A chuckle ripples painfully through my chest. "It is safe. We are safe." My hand lingers along her hair as the other one presses her waist to mine. "Besides..." A flicker appears at the tips of my fingers. A spark. "I know how to handle trouble."

She kisses me before I wake up. I jolt in my actual body and my breath escapes me. I press my hand against my chest and lean my head against my pillow as I force myself to calm down. That was the most realistic dream I have had in a long time. "S-shit." I mumble as I wipe the sweat from my brow and close my eyes, suddenly afraid to open them for fear of seeing her again. I suddenly wanted my little flower beside me. I force myself from the bed and feel my head racing. I nearly collapse onto the floor as dizziness clashes within my skull. "Easy there..." I mutter to myself and push myself back up, entering the hallway. My hand rests along the wall as I press my hand to my brow.

Carrie

"You woke up this morning. That's a change." I hear him muse from above me, a cold, steel piercing the skin of my arm as my eyes flicker open. He's there, but his face is too blurry to distinguish from the wall behind him. My head is pounding. I...I don't think he fed me last night. My stomach is churning angrily and I can feel the bile build up from behind my tongue. There is a quick splash against my skin and my eyes flicker down to release he had cut me, blood speckling down my arm. My mouth is too numb for me to respond right away, and a small groan escapes my lips. It's been at least a week now. I have given up any hope of being found and all I know is that I need to survive. There is no purpose is there? If no one is to find me, or wants to find me, then what is the point of living?

"I miss the outside..." I whisper dryly, eyes flickering back as my body threatens to readjust from the shock. "I want to see sunlight...I..." My body curls as I feel bile threaten to escape my lips. I think I am going to be sick. Oh...I swallow it down and stare up at him as now, I feel the cold climb up my leg. I said the wrong thing again. "Aah...ah...oh...oh please don't...n-not again..." It climbs all the way to my thigh and tears threaten to escape me. I can barely move my hands, as he restrains me to his couch every night to reassure I don't try to escape. I try to kick, but notice that he is hold my ankles together. "Please! Please!" I scream now, earning me a hit to my temple.

"Shut up. If you shut up it'll be over faster," He coos softly at me, placing his cold hand over my mouth and allowing the sharp sting to spread across my entire body. My eyes widen and I can feel the ice traveling across my cheeks, to my eyes...blinding m-


My body jolts up from the bed and I madly kick at the space ahead of me, while I project my arms backwards in an attempt to get off the restraints. After a moment of struggle, I realize I am not restrained. I..I went to sleep last night with Sammy. I..I am safe. My chest is heaving heavily and before my instincts to check on him kick in I place my head in my hands and try my best not to cry. I hiccup and nearly choke on my restraining cries, blinking rapidly as the burn returns to my eyes. My entire body is shaking as I attempt to collect my calm. That was seven years ago. Why is it haunting me so presently now? I am safe...I am safe...I bite into my own skin in order to prevent an exclamation of sorrow, or a simple scream of hurt. It...it hurts so bad. I release my grip and slowly start to rock myself back and forth, keeping my head in my hands. "Oh God...oh God..." I can't be hyperventilating now. I need to take it one breath at a time. In...out...in...It doesn't work. Why isn't it working? That has not been the worst he has done to me...more memories begin to flood back and tears begin to freely escape me. I can't do this with Sam here. Oh God...did I hurt him in my panic? I cannot think clearly enough to look back, but guilt begins to overtake my senses.

It's been a week since the horrid attack on the mansion.

And also a week since Demi has vowed to help me with my...condition. In secret. She's been so darn patient with me; it's mind boggling, to be perfectly honest. I never ask for the help when I need it. I could never bring myself to bother her but...somehow, someway, she manages to see through me like child's play. I twitch of the smile, a millisecond darting of the eyes, the briefest hitch in my stutter--that's all it takes for her to catch me in my own web of lies. I'm left a sitting duck under her scrutinizing looks and quirked eyebrows. "Don't waste your fucking breath," she would say before fabricating some excuse on the spot to our friends before pulling me aside.

That's...another thing. Sometimes we're alone when we don't need to be. This...thing, this friendship, or whatever it is that has blossomed between us. It's odd. And confusing. And teetering on a pole as fragile as ice and thinner than my bones. Something's there. I know there is; I'm not being delusional. At least...I-I hope I'm not. I pray. I can't handle another heartbreak.

For now, we are friends, and I'm going to cherish what we have right now.

"Found it," Demi mutters as her hands come to rest on my shoulder blades, fingers splayed out across my upper back as her thumbs press gently into the slopes connecting my neck to my shoulders. We're both seated on my bed, legs crossed and facing one another. We're always in my room; I've never come anywhere near her room, actually. Every time I try to bring it up in conversation, she changes the subject. Fast. It slightly worries me, but I don't want to push her into talking. Not yet.

"How bad is it?" I ask nervously.
MV5BOTQ3MTg1Nzg1NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzUxODkyOTE@._V1_SY500_SX400_AL_.jpg
Demi's eyes flicker open to lock with mines a moment. There is a gentle reassurance lurking beneath the snark and crunchiness. "The usual, I guess," she grumbles. "So nothing to flip shit about, Pen drop. Keep those panties out of a knot, alright?" A terrible way of comforting, but so achingly and uniquely Demi. "Pinch is coming," she warns. Like instinct, I hold my breath and shiver a little as the sensation washes over me. I've grown used to the momentary pain and learned to focus on the relief that comes immediately after. Demi drops her hands, which leaves my skin cold and lonely.

I slap on a soft smile. "Thanks, Cookie." Demi waves off my gratitude.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. This is routine, don't bore me to sleep with that shit." Her mood suddenly shifts into something more serious, her voice growing sober and heavy. "Hey, uh...when're you gonna go get checked--"

"Demi, please," I sigh tiredly while rubbing both hands down my face. I should've seen this coming. Demi has done well to keep this a secret from everyone, but she can't help but ask this everyday. I appreciate how much she cares, but...I-I can't. I can't go to the hospital. I haven't come to grips with it yet. My parents don't even know yet. If I do any of this...it'll make my issues a reality. I...I'm a coward. Always have and always will be, I guess--

"Hey, it's alright. I get it," Demi cuts in, pulling back to reality. Concern is etched across her features. Oh goodness, she must've recognized the horror and shame filling me, in turn brandishing guilt into her chest for asking again. "Forget I said anything. Just...yeah. Forget it."

"No, it's fine." Oh, God. I always say the wrong things at the worst times, don't I? Especially with Demi. Always. Always. Always. How does her presence keep disarming me and scrambling my words like this? Get it together, Pen! Nervously, I reach out for Demi's hand and am internally relieved when she doesn't fight the touch. She just looks at me cautiously and our joined hands, her expression unreadable. I give a gentle squeeze before saying, "You care about me and I...I appreciate that. I appreciate what you're doing for me, knowing darn well that you don't have to. So...I'm sorry for being so stubborn and frustrating."

Demi's feature don't change initially, but then a smirk pulls at her lips. She chuckles under her breath while fussing with her mess of chocolate hair. "You're getting sappy on me, Pen Drop." She bites the inside of her cheek, thinking a moment. "And you're right, I don't have to...I want to. So let me have my fucking rights and do whatever I want, got it?" Her words are harsh, but there's no denying the joke in her tone and the warmth glimmering in her eyes. The response makes my stomach flutter and heat rush to my face, only to extinguish the feeling immediately.

Pen. Do not get your hopes up. Please.

I nod and smile weakly. "F-fine, you're r-right."

Demi's smirk widens. "Don't start stuttering on me now, Twiglet--ow!"

I slap her shoulder. "Hush."

Something downright devilish infects her smile. Oh goodness. She looms forward slowly. "Make. Me."

"C-Cookie, I swear to Go--gah!" I should've seen it coming. Really. Perhaps a part of me did predict it, but didn't want to prevent it. Demi lunges, attacking me with merciless tickles from all sides. I-I thought we were too old for this?! "Mercy! I-I give! Ahaha--Demi! H-help!"

"Nope," Demi chuckles. "Suffer."

Words cannot explain how relieved I am after a week of peace passes. I mean, after that whole kidnappers fiasco and the scares wacking all of us from left and right, some downtime is very much needed. You know? Besides, that event has left an impression on everyone. We've all been affected, one way or another. For better or for worse.

Speaking of better, I remember the super awesome cuddle buddy snuggled up next to me and sigh happily. Morning rays are peering through the curtains, but screw it. I'm definitely not ready to get up and leave Cy's arms. Oh no. Nope. Nada. Not these magical arms of Cyonis, you must be out of your mind! No way am I leaving! You have to fight me for it!

Err...p-preferably a handicap. I'm not the strongest chic around, okay? Don't rub it in.

But I will gladly rub my face against his shirt (Oh God, that sounds weird, nuzzle is a much cuter term...) and bask in his warmth, my arms wrapped around his waist. We've been sleeping together for a few nights now and, wow, let me tell you guys--best thing ever. Like, better than free food. Oh yeah. That good. Crazy, right?? But this man seriously makes me feel things that are...just...more intense than fireworks blasting over China on Chinese New Year while toasting to your long lost cousin. Smile wide and goofy as holy heck, I press my lips against Cy's in a chaste kiss before whispering, "Morning."

Quinn Harvey

One week...

It has been one week since I've locked myself in here. I'm tired. The world is blurring in and out, in and out, in and out...It's draining.

What does sunlight feel like against my skin? I'm struggling to remember...Jesus, I hate this. I have to do it, but I hate it. Colette is there. In my head. Watching my every move, tasting my every breath as if it needs to be cherished. Maybe it is precious. Maybe this next exhale is going to be may last before she--

"No!" I shout angrily into the empty space. "Stay out of my head and shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!" I'm going crazy, aren't I? This is it. This is what I was afraid of for so long. I thought I could act like a normal person and ignore the truth, but now the reality is catching up with me faster than I can blink. I...I-I want Carrie. I want Tegan. I want chocolate. I want to get out of here--

My ankle throbs, bringing my attention back to the knot I have tried around it and attached to the leg of the bed. It's made out of it thin sheets and wound in several knots; it's just long enough for me to move around in the room, yet not to escape. I've locked the door for extra measures and turned down anyone who came knocking. Including Carrie...God, I'm so sorry sis. I'm sorry...

There's no way Colette's strong enough to free herself and she knows.

She's biding her time. Waiting for me to slip up.

I shove my fingers into my matted hair and snarl, "I won't let you..."

Never, you damn demon!
 
Helen

When I awake this morning I feel my heart hammer mercilessly in my chest. I think I had a nightmare but I can’t be entirely certain. My mind is blurry from sleep, but my hands are clammy as I clutch the edge of the blanket closer to my body. Oh goodness...whatever this was I don’t think I was going back to sleep anytime soon. Painfully I force myself from the bed and wrap my covers around my body, trembling the entire time. It starts to come back, Gordon is over me again. Except this time I can’t speak. He’s hurting me...I shake my head rapidly and try to distract myself from that thought. I need Penny right now. Maybe Demi or Nellie. I sigh and decide to go towards Penny’s room, because I figure she would be able to comfort me without threatening to kill someone. Besides. She could probably coax Demi into coming into the comfort hug without much issue.

I hobble out of my room and with messy hair and a busy mind, I make my way down silently to her room. I stare at her door and think to myself for a while whether or not this is just going to bother her. It might. I am a grown woman but the moment I have a bad dream I go running to my friends for hugs. I frown and decide to push that thought aside as I gently knock on the door. Fear lumping in my throat, I gently call out “Penny? Penny I need you. I had a nightmare...” I frown and glance down at my feet sheepishly. This was such a childish thing to do but I needed reassurance. Particularly as more of the dream becomes recovered within my head. My whole body is shaking as his face becomes clear within my memory.

(Time skip!)(Also are the two new ones mentioned Rina and Damon?) (if it is I really want Rina to run into Andre again as I think it would be funny)
Ivan
I have been given a room and just stay there...I am still a little in shock and not sure how to take this. If this was a dream I would have woken up by now right? I still couldn't remember what had happened to be in the past year but my memories before I was kidnapped were coming to me. I had lost so much..where should I do to now and wasn't able to eat much or sleep. I didn't want to talk to my sister and thought about running away again. It would be easy as I would just need to turn invisible but where would I go? There was no way I was going back home to mom and dad. I wondered how the others were doing that were stuck here. I had hurt those kids thought..

Itzlie
It seemed to calm down now from what I saw after this attack...hopefully it stayed that way Scott was now back. I wake up after sleeping outside my brothers door. I had tried to show him around but he didn't seem to adjust well.
My neck hurts, I think slowly waking up. I had spent a large amount of my time trying to help my brother checking up on him, trying to leave him food that he seemed to barely eat. I hadn't called my parents to tell them and wasn't planning on it. I sighed coming to the realization that I was stupid thinking that things would be alright once I find my brother. I also realized that I was being selfish with only caring about my brother. I should help with the kids more and even check up on Jennifer. I felt horrible and thought about what I should do. I was still curious what had happened to them when they were taken...also about their memories. Their was no way they could forget everything right?
Anyways if my brother remember the past I wouldn't blame him for hating me, I then think. My gosh I was such a selfish person wasn't I? Only caring about my own feelings and making myself feel better. I shake my head trying to shake these horrible thoughts off
This isn't about me, I think to myself getting up. I thought about going to see Carrie or Jennifer.

Tegan
I am up early..a habit from the farm. I stay in my room practicing my powers with a magnet having it spin around in my hand as I listened to a little bit of music from a old record player. I thought about Quinn and Carrie wondering how they were doing. I wondered if Quinn was trying to stay from me avoiding me...no wanting to be my friend anymore. I had knocked on her door once but it was locked and I haven't hear anything. As I haven't seen her for a while. I think about checking up on her again to visit her room.

Alexander
I hear my phone go off and groan not wanting to get up...I had stay up late staying up late doing research and maybe playing games. I looked over the stuff we had gotten and was careful to look up public information so I wouldn't get in trouble for hacking again. I had found some interesting information. It was nice being able to sleep in a bed instead of having to sleep outside in a tree or something thanks to Jackie and giving her some more of my energy every-time I felt like I was going to overheat. I had gotten use to it outside but I hated those stupid mosquitoes. I answer the phone.
"ugh...hello."I groan not bothering to look at the caller ID.
"Alexander sorry were you still sleeping?" I could hear my uncle's voice. I yawned and wake up I hadn't talked to him over the week. Deciding to also get up because I could hear my stomach growl.
"Oh no it's fine. My own fault for staying up to late." I say,
"Staying up late playing video games?" He says and I don't say anything as he knew me to well.
"No..." I say lying.
"Alright if you say so." He says chuckling," So how are things going?"
"Um...everything is fine." I say wondering if I should tell my uncle what had happened a week ago as I knew he would find out anyways as I still haven't told him.
"Okay, is that it?" He then asked obviously wanting more information," Are you making friends having fun?"
"Yes." Was all I said. He doesn't seem to be amused as I hear him sigh over the phone
"Do you always have to be so difficult?" He say
"Yes." I say sarcastically with a smirk. He sighed again and I could tell he was about to nag me about probably not being so difficult but I cut him off
"Listen uncle I'm got to get breakfast." I then say
"Alright." He says," talk to you later."
"Bye." I say hanging up.

Violet
I still couldn't believe what had happened last week but had seen the place starting to get fixed after the stuff we had missed. I wondered how the others were handling it as Scott had came back. I looked over the book Andre and I had found trying to learning braille as I laid on my bed eating a muffin. It did seem like their was only love letters in here...but I tried to focus on the things that where going on and the dates. I still wondered if the gray women was the women in these letters. It was strange that some of the things that their didn't not seem to be any other information about the houses past... the locks on the house still bugged me I wanted to ask Scott about how he inherited the house.
I tried to write down on a notebook what we new so far.
-The house was closed down for a couple years
-The house is now a camp
-Their is not much information about the houses past
-The house has these strange double locks, and hidden rooms
-The gray lady is somehow connected to the house (could be the woman who owned the house before?) although she didn't seem to want to talk to Andre for some reason.
-The house was attacked

Rina
(If that are now at the camp now if not ignore)
Warren had finally let us go to check out the camp. They had seemed to welcome us especially the guy names Scott. I hoped Scott didn't call anyone about us...those people from the lab wouldn't find me here right? They had given us rooms which I was happy about not being in those closets anyone. I felt bad about giving the information to Warren about those files. The camp now seemed disorganized as I had noticed some people still staying in their rooms. Things have been weird between me and Damon since what happened with that thing we had said not to talk about again. I take out some candy from under my bed that I had stolen from Scott's office while he had been out doing night watch...I go out of my room heading over to Damon's rooms to just check up on him hoping that this offering of candy would make him feel better.
I was still on the lookout for a person with electric powers or something to help Damon. I was starting to get nervous about if we don't find anyone.

Sakamoto
It had been a week and I wondered about how Alexander and Jackie were doing in their search. They hadn't seemed to bother me and I wasn't planning on helping but I was curious. It was better to have the adults handle what had happened. I still wasn't sure how i felt about those people who had attacked us still being here....I slowly started to wake up.

"Hahahah! Squirm, insignificant worm! Squirm!" I cackle loudly in that same damn evil scientist voice. Heh, thaaaaat's right, bow before my might, Twiglet! Damn, I gotta admit, hanging with the little wallflower has been pretty fun. During the past week, I've been caught in a cycle of hovering about Helen, bothering the shit out of Pen Drop, avoiding the blood-bender at all costs, and squeezing in the awkward little "wassup" whenever I walk by Cyrus. Also...I may or may not have been an asshole and capitalized on the assistants' and Scott's guilt for what happened. I mean, it's not like I didn't anything that fucking bad...just demanded a new ukulele.

And now I have one.

...

*cough!*

Anyways, aside from that, nothing much has changed. Well, except for the fact that Pen Drop has become, like, a lot more more to hang around. I know she feels all guilty or some shit about her bones...but I'm serious here. I enjoy being around her. It's just fucking annoying that she can't take my word for it. One of these days man, I'm gonna just slap a hand over her mouth and literally scream these words at her until it finally drills into her stubborn brain.

...Ah, damn. Kind of a violent image. Erase, erase!

"D-Dem! Seriously! Hahaha--stop!" Pen Drop manages to flip me over with this sudden burst of muscle power. The fuck? Where did that come from?! Fucking cheater! I literally almost (I said almost) bite my tongue in surprise as her fingers jam into my sides, this beyond annoying smug grin stretching across her face.

"Gah! No, no, no, no! Fuck you! Ahahaha! F-fucking cheat!"

"Say uncle," Pen laughed without stopping her assault. Oh God, somebody help! M-my stomach's cramping! Despite the burning in my lungs, I hold on strong and try to wiggle free.

"N-no!"

"I'm going to count to three." Fuck you! Fuck you, birch bitch! "One..."

Jesus fuck--where did all the oxygen go??

"Two"

Nope. Nope, nope, nope times fucking a million! Tears are already streaming down my face, my own refusal to give up honestly being my own downfall. I should just say uncle. Give in. Let her win for once...but I don't have that kinda weak shit in me. Fuck that!

"Three--...Wait..." Pen suddenly stops and sits up, eyes narrowing at the door. "Did you hear that?"

Huffing like a madwoman, I prop myself up on my elbows and crane my head in the same direction. At first, I've got no idea what she's talking about...but then I catch the tail end of a voice.

"...enny I need you...had a nightmare...”

Like a switch, the name instantly pops up in our heads as we mumble simultaneously, "Chipmunk/H-Helen." Pen Drop and I look at each other...and now I feel awkward as fuck upon realizing the position we're in. She's basically straddling me, her hair a mess from a combination of sleep and our tickle war, and still in her baggy t-shirt and sweatpants. "Err...g-go answer the door," I mumble while avoiding eye contact.

"R-r-right," Pen squeaks. Damn dork, too timid for her own good. She literally jumps off of me and shuffles over to the door. She swings it wide open and pins Chipmunk down with a concerned look. "H-hey, Helen. Are you o-okay? What's this about a n-nightmare?" As she says this, she loops a comforting arm around Chipmunk's shoulders as her free hand fusses with her mess of hair gently. She carefully guides Helen inside, who I salute with a lop-sided smirk.

"Morning, Cotton Ball."

His eyes have followed my every move like a bloodthirsty predator. He is thirsting to pounce. Hungry to watch me bleed and stain the ring in flowering blotches of crimson. He is a being walking on the edge between man and animal.

Most importantly, he will fall by my hands tonight.

I am not a man who enjoys violence. I am not a human who lives for the rush and adrenaline. But what I am and what I shall always be cursed with, is the skin wrapped about my soul like a caged prison. This body is not mine...and yet...as the muscles coil and convulse, as the crowd roars, as my gloves stretch over my calloused knuckles, as a rush of toxic instinct floods these interlocking systems and nerves...I cannot disobey it.

I am Gregory Banks.

The proctor's voice booms overhead, sending vibrations through the floors and intermingling with the animalistic shrieks of my audience. No, Greg's audience. His fans. His loyal watchers. Mere slaves to their own craving for spilled blood and swollen flesh. "Staaaaanding in the red corner! Weighing at an overwhelming two hundred and thirty-five pounds, at a staggering height of six foot five!"

My opponent paces back and forth, trembling like a nuclear bomb barely held together by a string. His countenance is twisted with feral abandonment, veins bulging grotesquely from his hardened biceps and beefy neck. He is built entirely of muscle and gluttonous fists. Drool slides down his mouth piece before converging below his chin. It shines in the bright overhead lights of the stadium.

"And undefeated Heavy Weight Champion, RIPLEY "BONE CRUSHER" MCADAMS!!!"

Bone Crusher roars over the deafening cheer and throws his arms up, basking in the love and frenzied praised. Even then, his vision lasers in on my form. I remain statuesque and quiet; there is no need wasting my energy outside of the fight.

"Aaaaaand in the blue corner!" The proctor's swings around widely to point at me, his platinum microphone likely drenched from his hours of spattering. "Our challenger of the evening! Our newest and hottest fighter in the city! Weighing one hundred and ninety pounds and standing at five foot ten! GREGORY "IRON FIST" BANKS!!"

The cheers are drastically more tame, which is expected. I've heard the rumors and whispers; despite my performances, the MMA community lacks faith in my skills. I, as they put, "lack charisma and fire", that my fights are...lackluster, to put nicely. I do not wallow in my adversaries' shame and defeat. That is not me, no matter how hard I try to force it. I am not my brother.

Bone Crusher and I walk up to the center of the ring, stopping a mere foot apart. The Referee, Carter Yamanashi, keeps up steady with a hand on our chests, looks between the both of us, before relaying the rules in a light and flamboyant tone that I've grown to like. It eases the tension, though temporarily. "Alright, honties! I want a clean match! No biting, scratching, jamming of the eyes, spitting, or blows below the belt. That last one's my job." A smirk threatens to pull at my visage, but hold fast and remain stoic. Bone Crusher grimaces, a growl rumbling deep in his massive chest. "Down, honty. Anyways, if you understand these rules, give me a nod, tap gloves, and return to your sides of the ring."

We both nod. However, as I raise my fist to pump it with his, Bone Crushes scoffs at the motion and leaves without reciprocating it. I see...he has that mindset. The kind that is brusque and arrogant. And merciless. That gesture is symbolic in the ring: "I'll beat you to the brink of death."

It is a challenge that I am forced to accept.

I match my gaze with his across the ring. The cheers are climbing in volume. Louder and louder and louder...

I settle into my stance. Fists raised, knees bent, weight balanced between my hip and leading orientation, bouncing on the balls of my feet.

Carter raises his arms above head, pins us with one last glance...

Bone Crusher throws a stance to the wind, instead hunching forward with his meaty arms splayed like a ravenous beast.

Carter slices his hands through the air and yells, "FIGHT!"

Before I can blink, he lunges with a booming cry. Two yards away. One. One and half feet.

Cool miasma floods my body. A fist swings over my head like a wrecking ball. He doesn't give me time to react, as a series of wild punches follow me, one after another. Luckily, he is large, packed with strength and little speed. I weave and evade each strike, landing a swift straight to his ribs as I slip out of his reach. I circle around to his blind spot and drive two punches into his kidney, consecutive, precise. I cannot afford to be sloppy. Not with this one. Bone Crusher keels from the blows, his face twisting in rage, before spinning around to tackle me to the mat.

He gains the top advantage immediately. Usually an awful fate to be experience when you're on the receiving end. Immediately, I hold my arms up to block the double-handed hammer strikes, feeling a cluster of painful jolts race down to my bones. Numb. Pulsating. Familiar. I recoil and roll in tandem with his swings. A chaotic pounding rages through my skull and I can taste iron pooling on the back of my tongue. Bone Crusher is consumed by adrenaline. He knows that he's won. Only a matter of moments before Carter intervenes...

All according to plan.

My vision sharpens as I see Bone Crusher raise both fists, his back arching as he loads up for monstrous impact. Like a sniper rifle, my knuckles snap against his sternum and throat, weeding a shocked gag out of him, before shattering the cartilage in his nose. Blood spurts across his face and chest as his head whips back. His grip slackened, I flip our positions and start raining down punches. Five. Ten. Twenty-three...Carter finally steps in at thirty-six and the sight of Bone Crusher's face slathered in his own blood. He lies limp beneath me. Alive.

Carter shoves me aside to assess my opponent's condition before waving his arms horizontally. "He's done! Honty's down and out for the count! He ain't cute no more!" As this resounds in the proctor's ears, my team hoots and hollers in celebration as they race into the ring. I cannot help but gulp back the nausea as my coach nearly slips on a pool of red. Dear God. There's so much. He...he bled so much. Everything around me is muffled and blurred. I barely register the proctor grabbing my wrist and raising my face skywards. Nor the cheers. Nor the smiles and cameras flashing. Not even the championship belt snapped around my waist...

What I do notice is the suddenly pain flaring up the bridge of my nose. I grimace and touch my upper lip. Blood. Oh dear...when did that happen? When did--


---
mens-hair-ties-particularly-neutral-hair-gel-610x755.jpg

I'm startled from slumber as I feel frantic movement and an insistent throbbing in my face. Not a moment after, I nearly choke on something warm and coppery spilling past my lips. Oh...O-oh dear. My nose. It's bleeding. How did...

"C-Carrie? Care Bear??" My heart threatens to rip itself apart into a million pieces before diving head first into the mouth of an active volcano. My dear heart. My baby girl. She...she's frantic. Thrashing. Swallowed whole by a fear I cannot physically battle. Trembling with fear for my love, I attempt to reach out of her, accepting any and all blows that land on me, and gently pull her into an embrace, resting her head beneath mines. I rub soothing circles into her back and hum to her softly, my eyes stinging with tears refusing to fall. "I-it's okay, sweetheart. I'm here. I'm always here with you. I've got you here, in my heart forever...Come back to me Care Bear."

I'm so terrified for her. Why...What is this? I've never seen her awaken from a nightmare so violently before. Baby Girl...what sort of pain are your suffering? How can I heal you? Just say it and I'll do everything within my power to do so.

Cyrus

Sunlight enters through the window and intrudes upon my weary eye sight. My eyes flicker open and a soft mumble escapes my lips as I nuzzle my head into Nellie’s shoulder for a brief moment. I was beyond nervous when I had first inquired her to cuddle a few days ago, but I do not regret it one bit. Despite the first few minutes being filled with blushing and stuttering, I found complete joy in holding her close to me. There was something comforting about cuddling with her during the night, it was a simple reassurance that if my blankets were going to attempt to strangle me, she would be there to undo the mess. Besides. She gives me good morning kisses and makes my stomach fill with fluttering butterflies. It sends my heart at peace. Her arms around my waist and mine around hers, it felt as if Heaven was truly a place on earth. There was no way to describe the sweetness of her cuddling figure next to mine, her warmth sweeter than any fluffy blanket. I could spend all nights like this, beside her, holding her.

She presses her lips to mine and I feel almost instantly awake. I kiss her back gently and give her waist a gentle squeeze as I raise my hands to rub the sand from my eyes “Good morning, my southern belle.” I greet her sleepily as I close my eyes again and rest my forehead against hers “Did you sleep well?” I ask her with a small smile, my breathing at peace. I readjust the blankets around us to make sure she is neatly tucked in and I glance down at my bare hands. It has been better recently, my abilities. Helen had been amazing when it came to encouraging to practice. I had to be in complete focus in order to do this, or simply asleep. She had also gotten me new gloves, leather and beyond sweet. Fluffy inside too. I don’t know Helen managed it, but she did.

“You look like sleeping beauty this fine morning,” I comment with a soft chuckle as I brush some of her stray hair back, forcing myself to pry open my eyes once more “I almost don’t want to get up im so comfortable hugging you. Don’t make me get up.” I mumble teasingly as I squeeze her again. “I won’t let you up either if you try.” I waggle my eyebrows teasingly and have to bite back a yawn

Jennifer

"I am a man of constant sorrow..." I pant underneath my breath as I force myself into a comfortable jog, the bounce of my body controlled and even as I force myself not to hurt my collarbone. I am surprised at how well it has healed over the past few days, and how sweet Scott had been about my situation. The assistances of been a great help as well, and I am completely surprised at the connections I feel between them. I am still hesitant with Samuel, but Itzlie and Carrie have proven to be particularly kind, and with Ivan quiet, not to mention the other Collector, I have been attempting to message with Itzlie to see if I can help with her problem. Ivan was broken down. It was horrible and there wasn't much we can do besides being patient with him.

"I've seen trouble through all my days..." I continue, my voice husky and threatening to break as I increase my speed of the jog. Scott had been kind enough to show me a route that was safe within the neighborhood that I could jog easily. I informed him I was leaving before hand, the poor man reclined sleepily upon the bright pink lawn chair. I had found that jogging in the morning returned the feeling of normality and increased endorphins pumping throughout my brain. Happier. Calmer. At ease.

"I bid farewell to old Kentucky..." I mutter, nearly grinning to myself as I break into a full sprint at the end of the sidewalk. I feel...free. Alive again. I cannot go far beyond the mansion but...this was enough. It reminded me of training. Sarge screaming at us at sunrise to get our asses moving. My brother in arms dragging me out of bed when I claimed I was too tired, but really just wanted to be carried. I sort of suppose it was a good thing I never went overseas. While what happened to me was horrific, I was still alive. I still had a chance of going home. And yet...I am ashamed to have admitted it, but I had tossed out what I had left of my fiancee. What I did not inform Scott was that, at the time I was calling my family(or at least attempting to) I called him, and was received by a woman on the other end of the line. I figured he had moved on, so I hung up before she could ask too many questions. It may have been dramatic, but I figured I did not need to know the details if that was truly the case.

"The place where I was born and raised...The place where he was born and raised~" I add musically, nearly laughing under my breath as I came to a stop back at the mansion, bending over and placing my hands upon my knees as I panted. "N-not bad. Think that was a five mile walk and jog." I wipe some of the sweat from my brow and feel the sleepiness build up behind my eyes. The dull ache of tiredness threatened to consume me. Not today, bitch. I grin at the thought, glad that my happier thoughts were returning. Early morning jogs truly were assisting. My eyes dart over to the lawn chair, where I notice Scott had seemed to have left. No matter, he told me where the spare key was just in case. I glance around the bushes and find it, unlocking the mansion door before tossing it back into the bushes. I hear a brief scuffle of some sort within the bushes and am suddenly greeted with the eyes of what seems to be a very agitated squirrel. "Sorry!" I exclaim in a whisper and shut the door behind me, very careful to lock it before I head back upstairs to the room that Scott had graciously granted me for a few days. I head into the little bathroom and pull out a towel, then travel to the refrigerator and pull out a bottle water. "Maybe Itzlie is up. I might need to go check on her and Ivan." I muse to myself and head back out into the hallway, a small smile presented along my face the entire time.

Jack

Jacqueline let me take control briefly as exhaustion overtook her. The poor girl stayed up later and later to research a variety of disappearances and see if she could connect it back to the kidnappers. I took over so that she could rest, and for once she did not struggle against it. She is happily snoozing in the safe space of our mind and it makes me happy as I awaken to know she will get at least some rest for the following day. "I should go visit Alex..." I mumble to myself, realizing the last few days that he was truly the best person I could get as a friend here. Kind to Jacqueline and I, not to mention the benefit of his overheating. I have not fed off anyone else the last week, and it has sent relief to both Jacqueline and I. No hunts, and most important to Jackie, no one ends up harmed. It works out both ways I suppose.

I roll out of bed and rub my eyes, my hands grappling for the note the nuns had written us the precious day as to check in on us. They seemed to miss Jacqueline and I, surprisingly enough. I hug the letter to my chest before I get up and get dressed for the day, my eyes drooping as I bring my eyes to rub my face "Why do mornings exist." I mumble under my breath as I hop out of my room and head to the kitchen area to eat. It seems I am the first one here. Good. Food here I come.

Andre

(Honestly I would love it if Andre bumps into Rina)

My head begins to pound. Everything is oddly silent but the vision replays itself over and over and over again in my head. I...I need to figure out what happened then. If I can, perhaps I can figure out more about the house. I stumble down the hall and a large spike of pain cascades down my skull. "Ah..Aaah..." I mumble and press my hand against the wall as I sway. Oh...shoot. Okay...I need to breathe. I need to breathe. There we go...inhale...ex- Wait...I've seen that girl before. And she's not a creepy gray lady figure. It is a teenage girl, or maybe even preteen, traveling down the hallway. She is the one that stole food from here a week ago. I remember letting her go because she was hungry, but perhaps she took my advice and decided to settle down here. That would be a service to herself.

"H-hey!" I call out drowsily, my body swaying "R-rina isn't it?" I ask with a pleasant smile, another wave of pain passing through my skull. Oh dear. My powers have never been this bad. I place my hand against my temple and settle myself.

Itzlie
I get up as I tied my hair up to fix it ignoring how my neck hurt and it also didn't help my hurt shoulder. I then put the sleeping bag away I had gotten. I sighed not sure what to do..I knocked on my brothers door. Figuring I should try once again to reach out to him before going to see Carrie or Jennifer. I didn't blame them for acting this way as I had no idea what they went through.
"H-hey....um..it's morning...I wanted to know if you wanted breakfast?" I asked him nervously but all I get is silent back.
"Come on I know you are in there." I say to him getting a little louder. I was just worried about him.
"My gosh you are so annoying can't you take a hint and leave me alone." I hear him yell from inside breaking the silence and I sighed. At least it was something, I knew he was alive in there.
"You have to eat sometime." I muttered as I then turned seeing Jennifer coming down the hall.
"Oh hey how are you?" I asked her with a smile I was glad she seemed to adjust well at least. Although, I wondered about her own family. I did not want to pry though, even thought I was very curious. She seemed to be in running gear.
"I am guessing you finished your morning run." I then say
At least we were doing something right, I think although I was worried about those people that sent them here coming back for them. There was also the problem of the files that went missing but we had decided not to call the police which I still didn't agree with but I wasn't in charge. I respected Carrie and Scott as to not override this choice.

Helen

I am surprised as I believe I hear two voices from within the room. That’s odd. It is fairly early in the morning, who would come to Pen’s this early? Maybe Nellie and Cyrus? No that can’t be. They tend to stay in a little bit later than in previous weeks, which I have decided not to inquire about. Demi? Perhaps. Those two seemed to have been getting along well together, which truly did spread happiness through me. I never thought they would get along well together when they first met but now...I almost suspect that Penelope has dropped her crush upon me and has fallen for Demi. That’s what I am hoping, that way she is happy and will not have a broken heart because of me. I cannot live with myself if that truly happens.

The door soon pops open and my suspicions are confirmed. Penny greets me and there is an immediate smile that grows upon my face. She tosses her arm around me and tussles my hair, which allows for a giggle to escape from me. She always knows how to make me feel better, and that’s why I love her so strongly as a friend. She takes care of me and I take care of her. I can trust her when I need her and I provide the same service for her.

“Good morning Cookie.” I greet her with a smile and instantly tuck my head into Penelope’s shoulder “I had another bad dream. I’m sorry for intruding. I just needed someone to talk to about it.” I frown and puff my cheeks out in a pout before admitting “It was another dream about him. Except this time I wasn’t so lucky.” I swallow nervously as his face is so clear in my head. “I won’t go into details. The dream was rather abrupt...but it still bothers me and I want the comfort of friends.” I glance down at my shoes and hug myself lightly “I-if you don’t mind of course. I feel as if I have walked in on something.”

There is an imbalance, I am certain of it.

My dear Qumbo...His flesh red fur slipping through my fingers is the last memory I have. No, that is a lie. Awakening in an attic alone is the most recent. Alone. Bound by ropes. And, of course, a gaping hole in my porcelain abdomen, though some bandages were wrapped around it.

Something awful is amiss. I know it. Goodness, goodness--what have I been up to? I know my spirit. It is not light and soaring with Mother Earth's gorgeous winds. It is heavy, dragged down below the roots of my Sister Oaks, down, down...until the core seethes and peels away at my layers. I am spiritually and physically burdened by a caustic unknown...

Thus, I meditate.

Nothing succeeds to stir me from my trance, though I register all that lives around me. Hands. Moving me from one place to another, until I'm seated upon what feels to be a bed of sorts. How generous of my caretakers! They must have tender souls. They knock before entering, always without fail, though I never vocalize. They just enter. The scent of food, the clattering of a tray placed next to me, and the shuffling of feet. Sometimes, sparsely, they speak to me. A man. Two other women. Perhaps within my age range? No matter. Their hearts cry out into the cosmic silence and beg for the healing balm of love; I can sense it skimming the edges of my mind.

The poor dears...I swear upon it, once I am roused from this trance, they shall receive my never-ending love and patience! But, I cannot rush. I cannot break. Not now. The unknown continues to linger and thrive and twist about through the chambers of my chest. It squeezes and burns in the worst of ways, toying with my memories and projecting Qumbo's death to my sight. It hurts. Beyond all and any and every measure of my knowledge. No, of this universe's existence. I miss my dear friend. So much. So achingly much.

You shall live forever in me, my wonderful friend.

For the last three days...a tapping reaches my ears. Each morning as the rising suns beams warm my back. It is a feint and gentle sound, repeating like a desperate and fragile routine. I remain as vigilante of the sound as I can without breaking trance, but it twinges at me. Like a call for...for help...

I cannot help it. I cannot possibly ignore this tug at my soul. My eyes snap open and a shiver races beneath my skin as feeling returns to my senses. Ah...how refreshing! I take in my surroundings. "What a gorgeous vicinity! My caretakers are such kind souls, yes?" I laugh gleefully and stretch my legs forward, rocking onto my feet in a standing position. Now then--where be the origins of that tapping? The window, perhaps?

Shrugging, I approach the window and use the edge of the bed to lift myself up, my other knee propped in the window's ledge as I examine with the lock. A handsome tree is perched right next to it, though it leaves plenty of room for natural light to permeate the space and bathe it in a gorgeous warm glow. How wonderful!

Alexander
I was done talking to my uncle and get up as my stomach growls again. I wondered what they had for food. I wondered who else was up. I leave my room to head to get some food. I am still half asleep from staying up late. I enter the room with a yawn and then sees Jack.
"Hey morning. How are you?" I asked with a smile although he seemed as tired as I was. I looked around for the food and also noticing there wasn't much other people around.
Guess everyone else is asleep, I think kinda surprised I usually wasn't a morning person and was more of night owl. I at least had a good rest although it did take some adjusting from not sleeping outside. I decided not to talk about any of the things from last week or any of the information we found..it was too early for that.

Rina
(Yes this is will be interesting)(I also can't wait till Rina bumps into Jack only because of the whole glove thing)
I am walking around the hall to go to Damon's room I am stopped by an older guy. I reminder him from when I took food and he caught me although I wasn't sure if I should just keep going or if he would remember me.
"H-hey!" He calls out "R-rina isn't it?"
Seems like he does remember me, I think as I take out a candybar and begin to eat it for breakfast even thought I knew it was bad for me.
"Hello...your Mr. Liar..er..or Andre." (Haha he is a pretty big liar XD) I say being sassy as I remembered how he lied to me and tried to keep me here while Damon waited. I looked at Mr. Liar and noticed he didn't seem good and I started to feel nervous as he swayed.
Do I need to get someone, I think
"You alright?" I asked tilting my head wondering what's wrong with him.

Carrie

Panic remains installed within my skull as my body trembles and I feel arms wrapped around me. I briefly thrash again for fear of being restrained. The grip upon me is comforting, however, and slowly I relax as I can hear Samuel’s soft humming and feel his gentle hands upon my back. My eyes are tightly shut as I throw my arms around him and my nails dig into his shirt desperately, as if I open my eyes and let go of him I will be back in my own personal hell. My breaths come out short and pained. My entire chest feels like it has been ignited with flames, the ashes building up mercilessly in my lungs and suffocating me. The pressure upon my chest feels like someone had pressed stones against my ribs. I drag my nails downwards and try to get my breathing back to normal, focusing on something, anything to get me out of this spell. I focus on his voice, his warmth, anything to release me of this panic. It takes a good few minutes for me to regain my composure, tears streaming freely down my face.

“I-I’m sorry.” I choke out hoarsely, forcing a deep breath of oxygen down my throat. It scorches painfully but sends relief to my lungs. “I-I’m sorry Sammy...” I whisper again, resting my head against his chest. My tongue feels as if it has been transformed into cotton. It’s choking me. I feel as if I can’t breathe. I swallow painfully and slowly regain my trainquility, even though the rest of my body is stubbornly continuing its trembles. “B-bad dream.” I mumble “R-really bad.” I try not to let out a sniffle at the thought of him sending ice up my body, the sharp, cold pain as a thin block of ice seals you away...my body begins to shake violently again and I force myself to be still. It hurts. It hurts so damn much. “I...I w-wanna tell you...but I-I’m scared...” my eyes flicker to his demeanor and my face pales to a ghostly shade “S-Sammy. Y-you are...you are bleeding...I hurt you. Oh dear God I hurt you...” My eyes threaten to well up with tears once more and I cup his cheek with my hand, beyond tempted to steal his wound away. I deserve the pain for hurting him. And yet...

He still doesn’t know. I haven’t informed him of the truth. My thumb gently works to wipe away some of the blood as my exhales escape in strained hiccups and restrained sniffles. “I...I’m so sorry. C-Christ I’m so sorry...” my elbow begins to throb and I realize that I must have hit him brutally, and my head begins to become overwhelmed with guilt and numbed pain. “I...I...I-it w-was j-just a really b-bad dream.” I fumble, recalling the last time I had a proper panic attack, at least before Quinn. It had to have been a year ago, and Scott found me before it got too out of hand. But...this was bad. This was one of the worst ones I have had in a long, long time.

I sighed as I put away my magnets and stopped the music then changed out of my pajamas. I decided to go to see Quinn....I hoped I wasn't annoying her. I head to the kitchen to see if she had gotten anything to eat but I didn't see her there so I then decided to go see if she was in her room.
Had I done something wrong, I think not wanting to lose the only friend I had made here. She hadn't told me what happened when she went to the hospital. I knocked on the door to Quinn's room. She did have super speed so maybe she was avoiding me because she didn't want to talk?
"Quinn are you in there." I say biting my lip wondering if she would answer this time.
 
Quinn Kimberly

My head snaps up as soon as I hear the knock. However, just as I force myself to shut down and ignore it, I hear Tegan's voice.

"Quinn, are you in there?"

"Crap," I hiss under my breath. Why does she keep doing this? Why does she always come back? I...I'm certain that she'd be fed up with my silence by now and move on to forget about me. I need her to no longer wish to be my friend. No longer have any sort of attachment with me. If...If I'm spiraling, like I'm absolutely certain that I am, I can't afford to burden anyone with this. Especially not Tegan. My voice is hoarse and weak, scratching painfully within my throat as I call out solemnly, "What do you want?"

I wince at my choice of words. I hate being so rude, but I need her to willingly leave me alone.

It's for the best.

Nellie King

"I'd say I slept pretty dang good, like last night...and the night before that...And the night before that one," I say cheekily while grinning up at Cy. Goodness gracious--bad move. Bad move. Now I'm trapped in those gorgeous freaking eyes of his! Jeeeez, why do those pair of twinkling stars for ocular anatomical devices have to be so darn mesmerizing? I'm not saying that it's a burden to stare into them (oh, trust me, it's not) but I always look like a doofus with half a brain once I zone out into La La Land.

This man, I tell you. He fills my head with actual nimbus clouds. It's mind-boggling.

I don't even try to hold back the little snort that escapes me. "Sleeping Beauty? Ummm..." I grin sheepishly at him while tugging on my hair, which currently looks like a bird nest that had just underwent 12 rounds in the octagon with Hurricane Katrina. Oh yeah, everybody--that bad. My hair is always like this in the mornings, no matter what I do to it the night before to avoid the same fate. Well, it is what it is. I honestly don't care that much. "Thanks, though I don't compare to the handsome knight in shining glasses before me," I chuckle while cringing at the words that just escaped my mouth. Gaaaawd, Nellie. Can you get anymore corny and weird?

...Why yes, readers. I can. Challenge accepted.

I hum in agreement. "Saaaame. Cy, who gave you permission to be this comfy, huh? It's borderline illegal, I say. Mutiny." Despite my words, my hold on him remains and my eyes are already feeling heavy with a potential morning nap (I'm being so darn productive today, aren't I?). However, the fog in my head clears a bit when Cy wiggles his eyebrows. I mimic the action, though I know it's not as top notch and smooth as his. Those Cyonis godly skills--I'm jealous! "Is that a challenge I hear, Mr. Booker? Cuz it sure sounds like it." A giddy smile threatens to break out across my face, but I cover it up with a blank and serious mask.

Tegan
I wait for a while and hear Quienn behind the door.
"What do you want?" She then asked harshly but i was so happy I didn't care. I smiled being optimistic
"Um..." i say at first then gets an idea and knocked on the door again in a rythm of frozen:
*knock* *knock* *knock knock* *knock*

"Do you wanna build a snowman~" I say singing a little trying to get her to laugh and come out.
(Tegan you are to optimistic for your own good and dont get social thing)

I...honestly...cannot believe my ears right now.

Did Tegan just...? Knock just like..?

"Tegan, you can't be serious," I grumble under my breath with my head tossed back. Why does she have to do that? Just as I think I'm going to be successful in shutting everyone out, in ignoring their please and cries and reasoning until my dying breath, she has to go and do that.

Frozen? Really, Tegan? Frozen??

....I should've seen this coming, honestly. She's always been incredibly optimistic, even in the bleakest of moments. It's something I always found refreshing about her...but now, it's proving to be a difficult adversary. I roll my eyes, fighting myself and refusing to say anything. No. No, nope, nada, zip. I am not going to play along! This is supposed to be my and Colette's punishment! I am not going to entertain that demonic witch with my friend's presence!

Nope.

No.

Not going to happen.

...Ever.

Never!

"Err..." Quinny--I swear go God. "Um...Come on, l-let's..."

Oh God...I'm powerless with this kid, aren't I?

"Come on, let's...go and play," I sigh tiredly in defeat. I don't speak very loudly, so hopefully she doesn't even hear me through the door. Meanwhile, now would be the perfect time for a hole to open beneath me and swallow me up...

(omg this is really happening...I can't handle lmao!)

Jennifer

“Morning Itzlie!” I greet her happily and push some stray locks of hair away from my face. I unscrew the water bottle cap and take a large chug, holding up a single finger until I have finished about half of it. “Ah, refreshing.” My head tilts as I place my hand on my hip, a smile happily taking place along my demeanor. “I’m good. My collarbone is feeling a lot better, and the morning air seems to be doing me some good. Besides I have to keep myself in shape now that you have offered me so much good food. Also, that sweetie there, Violet, keeps stealing all the muffins.” I make a teasing ‘tsk’ noise underneath my breath and I offer “You know you should really come running with me sometime. I think you’d enjoy it. Besides, it’s good exercise and fun to do it with someone else.” I stretch my arm behind my back and try not to grimace. “You feel a tad sore after not doing it regularly for two years, though.”

“How’s Ivan by the way?” I ask her uncertainly, biting my lip “I know the poor kid hasn’t been really social, neither the other man. I’m considering inviting the both of them out on a walk, or at least to go grab something to eat and drink. The poor dears need sunlight.” I brush my hair back and take a deep breath “No matter for right now. I’d love to go have some breakfast with you.” I grin at her “I truly enjoy having your company Itzlie. And I cannot thank you enough for being so helpful. Man...you are all so sweet.” I shake my head “Oh dear oh dear I am starving.” I laugh softly and gently pull at her sleeve “Come on now before Violet steals all the muffins.”

Jack

“Good morning dream boat.” I greet him playfully, feeling a sharp kick from the back of my skull.
Jackie is awake it seems. I shake her away for now and I recline in my seat, picking up one of the granola bars plated out. I peel down the wrapper slowly and stare up at Alexander, taking a bite from the bar before saying with a nearly full mouth “Good sleep or do you have insomnia?” I swallow and pat my chest before continuing “Thanks again for the energy transfer last night. Jacqueline really needed that the poor dear, she tries to put it all last minute as not to harm you. She just does it dangerously, considering she nearly fainted once this week.” I roll my eyes. It certainly has been better with our friendship with Alexander, I just fear that Jacqueline is too hesitant when it comes to stealing his energy.

“I’m assuming you didn’t do any more research last night? I most certainly didn’t. I was trying to catch up on playing solitaire, along with Zelda. You can shut up before I say anything else.” I grin at him teasingly and pass him another granola bar. “You know I’m almost concerned that I didn’t get enough sleep. But then again any amount of sleep will never be enough~” I take another bite from the food and lean my head back in content.

Andre

(Oh lord Rina and Jack id love to see how that goes)

“Hey mister Liar.” My mind blanks out for a good minute. Jesus this kid doesn’t like me now does she. I swallow slowly and manage out in a light voice “Mister Hector actually. But you can call me Andre. I’m glad to see you took my advice to come back...oh...uh, I’m fine. Migraine.” I explain as I lean against the hallway wall and rub the back of my head, grimacing as another stroke of pain thunders through my skull. I need something to ease this ache. “That’s not unusual though. When did you decide to come in?” I inspect her up and down and realize she has a little more of a healthy color than the last time I saw her. That’s good. She looked awfully pale and skinny the last time I saw her. I wonder if that was a sign of possible abuse. I don’t think I saw any bruises though, but I know that abusers tend to aim for areas where you can’t see the damage.

“You seem to be eating well.” I comment with a little smirk “Perhaps you should head and go get a proper breakfast. You are going to need it as a growing teenager.” My brow furrows “Besides I don’t know how much you were able to eat the last time I saw you. There’s a reason you stole so much.”

Tegan
I felt a little silly after I did it and I looked down. I put my ear to the door to listen to her response.
Come on that has to work, I think. I refused to give up on her as I had no idea what had happened. I was so confused about why Quinn was acting the way she did.
Come on Quinn at least say something, I think biting my lip
"Tegan you can't be serious" I heard her say and laughed a little. Yup I was serious, at least it got a response from her. It then goes quiet and I wonder if that was the only response I would get from her.
"Err..." I hear Quinn singing the next verse "Um...Come on, l-let's...Come on let's go and play."
Got you, I think with a smile leaning on the door then slid down.
"I never see you anymore, come out the door. It's like you've gone away....." I slowly sing the next verse getting more quiet feeling melancholy. This verse seemed very fitting for right now and I sighed. She was my only friend and I had no idea what had happened.
(I know i think it's kinda of ironic and funny)

Itzlie
"Morning." I say back smiling glad to see she seemed happy.I admired her energy and chippers attitude so early in the morning.
"Ah, refreshing." She says after taking a sip of her water.
“I’m good. My collarbone is feeling a lot better, and the morning air seems to be doing me some good. Besides I have to keep myself in shape now that you have offered me so much good food. Also, that sweetie there, Violet, keeps stealing all the muffins.” She then says and I laughed.
"You seem to be doing very well that's good to hear." I say and laughed again at the mention of Violet," Yeah Violet sure does love those muffins. Doesn't help that Andre helps with her muffin addiction. She is a very sweet thought."
“You know you should really come running with me sometime. I think you’d enjoy it. Besides, it’s good exercise and fun to do it with someone else." She then said offering me to come with her. I think about it
"Humm alright sure. I don't see why not." I then say deciding to take her on the offer as it might help me get out this nervous energy and calm down.
"How early where you up?" I then asked curious.

I stopped and froze as she then brought up Ivan..I bit my lip.
"He is still hiding out in the room." I admit with a sigh," He hasn't seemed to have gotten any better. Not sure if either of them would be up for going out. The invite is good. If you still want to do it you can try...they might respond better to you."
I didn't know what to do anymore, I then think although I didn't blame him as it has only been a week.

"Thank you for the compliments but I am not sure if I deserve it." I then say, surprised by the compliments " I am glad you are enjoying yourself here and adjusted well."
"Yeah lets get some breakfast."I say with a nod and smiled back as the subject was changed going to the kitchen as she pulled on my sleeve,.

I shift every so slightly out of my curled up position, staring at the door with the slightly hint of bemusement. Honestly, Tegan, why are you doing this? Just let me go...

"I never see you anymore, come out the door. It's like you've gone away..."

I catch the way her voice dips sadly towards the end, which only widens the canyon engraving itself down the center of my chest. Jesus. I feel so damn guilty right now; it's so unfair. I'm doing this to protect you! To protect everyone here! And yet, even then, I can't do that right. I can't even do something as simple as shut everyone out. Before coming to this stupid mansion, I was able to live in a life of isolation and independence with ease. But now...

I swallow shallowly and shakily crawl closer to the door. I sit next to it, my knees still pulled up to my chest. My throat hurts from using it after screaming at myself for so many days. A hiccup nearly rattles my lungs. "W-we used to be best buddies...and now we'ere...now we're not." I slap a hand over my mouth, my body shaking with silent sobs. "I-I wish...I could tell you w-why."

But I can't...
 
Alexander
I grabbed an apple and took a bite of it.
“Good morning dream boat.” He says to me and I chuckled shaking my head. I've gotten use to it I guess shaking it off.
"Very funny." I say back.
"Oh I am usually more of a night owl." I admit," But I did sleep well. Didn't have to sleep outside like I usually do."
"You're welcome..." I say then stopped as he mentioned about how Jacqueline almost fainted," Are you both alright?"
I was kinda worried and didn't want anything to happen to my only friend here and the only one I have made in a long time.
"I do understand her hesitation though.." I say realizing that they needed alot of energy to stay alive and that a normal person wouldn't be able to handle having to give away their energy. This wasn't something to play with and a person could easily end up dead if too much energy was taken. I only ended up a little sleepy sometimes because of my powers.
"Oh I did a little research but I mostly played some video games as well." I admit with a smirk taking the granola bar that was offered," Oh which Zelda game did you play? The new one?"
"Yeah I am thinking of taking another 5 hour nap after breakfast." I then say jokingly with a grin after Jack talked about how he still felt tired and wanted more sleep.

Rina
(This will be interesting haha)
He seems surprised about what I called him and for a second I wondered if I was being mean.
Nahh, I think
“Mister Hector actually. But you can call me Andre. I’m glad to see you took my advice to come back...oh...uh, I’m fine. Migraine.” He says back to me being pretty calm and nice. I was worried about his headache but he said it wasn't unusual.
“That’s not unusual though. When did you decide to come in?"

"Alright." I say with a nod hoping he was alright being vague," Oh um...we came here a couple days ago."

“You seem to be eating well.” He hen says with a smirk as I munched on the chocolate “Perhaps you should head and go get a proper breakfast. You are going to need it as a growing teenager. Besides I don't know how much you were able to eat the last time I saw you. There's a reason you stole so much.”

"You're not my dad...but alright fine." I say sticking out my tongue at him then looked away although I did stop eating the chocolate. It seemed liked he really did care and was only worried about me. I was really nice to have someone be worried about me like a dad, that man Scott was also like that. It was strange but I didn't dislike that. I decided not to mention how we were treated back at Warrens house partly because it was I just didn't want to think about that place again. Although I knew we were eventually going to have to talk about it...Damon and I haven't even told Scott. Well at least I haven't. Speaking of Damon I wonder if I should get him to come to breakfast
"Although I am sure the chocolate bar had calcium." I then say jokingly crossing my arms.

Tegan

I am happy that she seems to be singing back but I still felt so sad to have seemed to be left alone.
Don't cry Tegan, I think to myself as I leaned against the door as I feel a tear fall down from my cheek and I quickly wipe my tears away.

"W-we used to be best buddies...and now we're...now we're not. I-I wish...I could tell you w-why." I hear Quinn sing back. I could hear her voice breaking and I try to keep myself from crying as well. I also noticed the change she put into the lyrics: I wish I could tell you why.

What did she mean?, I think biting my lip. I wanted to ask her but I didn't think she would answer right now. I sighed being silent not sure what to say anymore. So it wasn't something I did but something she was going through so why did she tell me about it...I could help..or at least be there for her.

"Quinn...I'll be back....have you had breakfast yet? Ill bring you something. " I asked her quietly after a moment of silence leaning again the door deciding to be patient. I moved my hair out of my face trying to be steady my voice.

“Hmm.” I muse to her teasingly, nestling my face happily into her hair “I wonder what the common factor of the last few nights have been. Maybe it’s the comforter. Or, perhaps the choice of pajamas you’ve had the last few nights. Or maybe, very simply, it’s been me.” I peek up and notice that her eyes have locked with mine. She has the same little sparkle that always manages to bring a smile to my face. Little light of my life, where have you been for so long? “You look beautiful no matter what it sunshine.” I tell her with a lopsided grin and reach up as if to adjust my glasses, although I realize now that I don’t have them on. Oh, now the blurriness is starting to come through.

“It’s not my fault I’m so comfy~” I tease her musically and kiss her temple, lingering there for a good few seconds. “It just comes as a Booker promise of being an excellent partner. Comes equipped with unlimited hugs and a promise of protection and comfort wherever you may go.” I watch her attempt to mimic my actions and bemusement spreads across my demeanor “Oh yes? Is that so? Try me” I challenge her with a thin smirk, gently tightening my grip around her waist. I roll my body slightly so I have some leverage over her if she attempts to move. “You will lose.” I continue playfully, my eyes now dropping with potential weariness. I know she could kick my sweet behind, but I at least want to see if I can last sixty seconds.

“Besides why would you want to leave. I’ve got body warmth, cuddles, and I have all the blankets. We can always get food at a later date...” I mumble sleepily and close my eyes now, leaning into her slightly. “Staying awake is for the weak...” I grumble now, my breathing slowing down as rest threatens to overtake my entire system. I’m not going to last very long against her now am I?

“Sometimes I’ll see that man, Andre, specifically get up earlier in the morning to collect her breakfast and bring it up to her later. It’s almost as if he’s trying to apologize for something, or he’s truly head over heels and enjoys seeing that muffin induced smile. Either way, I’ll need to compete with him for food.” I grin at her teasingly “I could very easily flick him off. But it’s no matter, if he needs to patch something up, it’s not up to me to take away what makes his friend happy.”

“Yes!” I exclaim happily as she agrees to go running with me and I grin “Thanks Itzlie. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a running pal. Don’t worry though, I’ll try not to go too fast on our first run. A small jog could do us very well.” I think back a moment as my head tilts to the side. What time did I get up this morning? “Four I believe? I had a quick drink of water and bite of food before heading out. So I’ve been out for a good hour or so. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.” I bite my lip now as she tells me her brother is still hiding out in his room

“I might go offer him something to eat after we get breakfast and maybe convince him and the other man to go on a walk together. They need sunlight.” My brow furrows in concern “I don’t know how they bare to stay in one room for so long. I felt so held up in that room when I tried to stay in there longer than an hour. “Every word I say is true”. I smirk “So hush hush. No arguing with me because I’m always right.” I gently guide her to the stairs and then downwards to the kitchen “Ah I haven’t stuffed myself in so long.”

Jack

“I only speak the truth, Alex.” I wink at him and bring my hands up to my face to roughly drag my fingers down my eyes. “Waking up this morning was a mistake. I should have just stayed underneath the covers for a longer period of time.” I shake my head slowly “I ain’t so much of a night owl, Jackie can be though, the poor girl.” Jackie was a little bit of a lightweight, I hate to admit it. But she truly is. “Ah we are fine. Jacqueline is just a bit fragile. We managed to handle it just fine as we always do.” I don’t want to admit to him how horrified I can be when we almost faint because of not having enough energy. I don’t want him to know my weak mindedness.

“Jacqueline and I will manage. We are forever grateful that you assist us with our problem. It truly is a helpful to our survival.” I smile then shake my head disappointedly “No. I’m still trying to convince the nuns to get a switch for the parish. There is a charity event that involves playing video games all night that I have been trying to get us into. I’m replaying Majoras Mask. It’s an oldie but goodie. Jacqueline has never actually physically played it so I’m letting her do a run. She tends to not like that stuff so she’s going in blind. Which is perfection.”

“Heh. I should do more research. But I think a five hour nap should do it before I actually do any work.” I smirk at him

Itzlie
"Oh yeah I see that too." I say and laughed," It's kinda sweet."
"Next time when setting up the food I'll make sure to set aside some of the muffins for you so that he doesn't take them all." I then say with a smile," Violet really shouldn't be eating so much bread but she does seem to really like them and is so skinny..I let it slide."
I remember the first time I saw Violet she seemed very quiet, and to herself. I was glad to see she had made a friend. I also remember what I read about her in the file before it was stolen about her mother really not wanting anything to do with her. It was kinda sad..in fact most of these children came from sad backgrounds. I looked at her as she seemed very happy when I agreed to go running with her...she promises to go easy on me.
"Alright." I say with a laugh then smiled," honestly I am feeling nervous as I've never been into running before but I'll give it a try."
"Oh wow that's early. You must feel very productive." I say and clapped impressed.
Would I have to get up that early? What time do I usually get up?, I think knowing I did have a tendency to get up early just not that early.
We then talked about my brother and I sighed crossing my arm.
"I don't blame him for how he is acting but I am worried about him..." I say," I try to leave him food although he hardly take it or just doesn't eat it at all. To be honest though I wonder if he sneaks out with his powers getting out without any of us knowing."
"I am sure he will take the invite from you better then from me." I then say moving my hair out of my face.
They did have the same thing happen to them and my brother probably hated me.., i think. I was one of the reasons he ran away or at least didn't help. I wondered if I should talk to her about the complicated relationship my brother and I had. I remain quiet as she tried making me feel better saying how every word she said is true. We are in the kitchen and I looked around. There did not seem to be many kids around yet.
" Seems like you wont have to fight Andre for the muffins." I say jokingly to her with a grin.

Ivan
I listen to the two of them outside of my room..they talk about me. I remain quiet knowing I would have to leave. Unlike what my sister thought I haven't left yet as I still needed time to process what had happened.
I could always use my powers. Sneak out get food or just get out of here, I think. I still couldn't believe I had lost half of my life without any memory and I had hurt people.

Andre

“A few days ago? Hmm, what convinced you to come back any how? Your last state of residence wasn’t so good, was it?” My head tilted as I examine her “My guess is you are around the age of fourteen, average height for female it seems. Yet you are underweight, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were certain things about your puberty that haven’t been going correctly due to stress. Growth, physical maturity. There a few possibilities for this, abuse or illness. Or just a bad genetic match that simply makes it appear that you are suffering from one or the other. I shouldn’t ask you too much about it, particularly if it hurts. In that case I do want you to be quite aware that the house is to protect against that sort of thing. And if there’s ever a problem, there are people who are willing to assist.” I pause and swallow “Not that I am offering my help, probably because you won’t need it. But...that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to listen.” With that my eyes flicker back down the the bar she has within her hands. A smile presents itself along my lips

“You are correct. I am not your father, yet...for your physical growth I’d recommend more than just the calcium. Vitamins are, in reality, overrated within the quantity that is socially recommended. You can gain a good amount of calcium from a variety of plants and their fruit. Now, I’d also recommend protein, particularly things along the line of eggs, or, my personal favorite, the entirety of swine. Pigs are most certainly delicious.” I clear my throat sheepishly before continuing “Why don’t you come with me to breakfast and I can secure you a good amount of food before the masses come?” I smirk at her “Besides...I think hydration might assist with this ache.” I place my hand against my head “We should hurry if we go. The muffins will be gone in no time.” I smirk to myself. Mostly because of me and my promise of happiness to my little flower. “Although...” I pause “You should be hydrated as well. While there is most certainly color returning to your cheeks, water is going to heavily assist with balance, especially if you accidentally overfill yourself. That is quite common for victims of malnutrition or starvation, eat too fast and your stomach rejects it.” My mind begins to make a mental spreadsheet about the appropriate portions for her to eat. I make up my mind and nod slowly to myself. That shouldn’t be too hard to accomplish.

I listen to him munching on my food. I knew the feeling and still felt tired, although I was glad that he said they were doing fine.
"Oh I see...glad you two seem to be doing fine. Of courser I want to help you are my friend" I say and smiled relieved then says playfully nudging him," Anyways it's not really much as it helps me as well not to worry about overheating or anything."
"Speaking of friends I am curious had she tried to make up with those friends she had mentioned before?" I asked although I hoped I wasn't being intrusive. I haven't asked much about them and Jaquline hasn't said much about it.

"A Nintendo switch would be awesome. There are tons of new games coming out for that system..Majoras Mask is also an awesome game..good choice." I say he then mentioned a charity event,"Well good luck with the event. It sounds like fun. Will both of you be playing the event?"
I then lean back with a yawn
"Yeah I agree...getting rest is veryyyyy important." I say agreeing with a grin," although getting up early does have it's perks like not having to worry about the food you want being taken."
 
Sylvie

"Mother would you like to go outside today? You look awfully pale..." My hand skims along her forehead, sweat gathering at her brows as her body trembles, shivers escaping her lips without her permission. "It could do some good for you...besides you haven't been eating well either. Maybe we can go to that little cafe I have been recommending. It has a great selection of books and coffees...mother? Mother. Oh for Christ sake put down that goddamned bottle!" Anger suddenly bubbles in my chest, an unusual occurrence for me. I am much more patient with her, but as her fingers grasp the side of the couch, right where she had left her drink.

"Sylvie shut it." She slurs, her hand pressed against her temple as she heaves the nearly empty bottle onto her lap. "You are making the migraine worse. I need some personal time you hear? Go upstairs or something...just leave me alone..."

"You...YOU..." I swallow, agitation creeping behind my eyes as my fists clench. I take the bottle from her, and with my knuckles nearly white from my clutch, I travel to the window, prying it open before tossing it out onto the front street. It crashes nearly without sound, the red liquid oozing like blood from a wound. There is a sudden screech from behind me, and I feel hands now about my neck.

"You good for nothing bitch!" Panic nearly arises in me but it isn't difficult to remove her grip from my throat. "You worthless little..."

"You touch me and I will make sure you don't wake up." I threaten, my voice droning in and out of tranquility. I can feel my body shake with pure, unfiltered rage. "You hear me? Touch me again, one last time, you good for nothing vixen..."

"You speak cruelly to your mother..." Panic explodes at the side of my face, and it becomes horribly apparent that she struck at my cheek. "You and I are both aware that you could never lay a hand on me..." A pathetic hiccup tears threw her lips, and with a painful slur she adds "I am the only thing you have."


The morning sun proves to be more agitating and unwelcome as the nightmare crashing in my skull. It's too early for any of this nonsense. I haven't had a good dream in approximately two years. Heh, seems silly, but it's the truth. I remember that dream vividly as well, it was simple and sweet, I had hitch hiked off the road near our apartment and met a publisher, who agreed to publish my ridiculous comic. But, after that dream was officially recorded, there was never another one like it. The good news was, however, I had managed to sleep by myself for the first time in a few days. I had regained my independence, as much as I do miss Kendra's motherly embrace. It isn't a big problem, I can easily get those out of her with enough clever and loving manipulation. I roll out of bed, rubbing my eyes as a sigh escapes my lips. "Time to start the day. How horrible that will be." I get dressed, although I purposely drag it out so I do not have to leave the comfort of my room. One I stumble out in the hallway, my physical being wants two things. Food, and a good morning embrace. I snicker at myself for being so emotional about such physical joys, but they come to me anyway. The only thing I can do about is mumble my complaints.

Kendra Lindler

I ain't nevuh answered Sylvie properly since den.

Da request she made 'bout me openin' up to her, comin' to her fo' emotional help 'n stuff. Dat night, as I held her 'n watched ovuh her like a goddamn cornered momma bear...I couldn' bring myself to say anythin'. I ain't even nodded. Just...nothin'. I said nothin' 'n let her fall back asleep.

Dat was a week ago.

'N now, I'm still bein' a punkass 'n avoidin' da topic. Does dat make me a bad person? A coward? I just don' want Sylvie to see or know bout da shit dat runs through my head. It should nevuh see da light of day--fuckin' nevuh, man. I fuckin' refuse. From here on out, I'mma keep a tight lock on my dumbass emotions 'n only be happy. Dat's it. No questions 'bout my family, bout my actions, bout my regrets...No mo'.

I had decided to blow off some steam dis mornin'. One of da assistansts, dis super fluffy buff homie named Sam, lent me a bunch of his workout gear. Hell, he went far enough to order in a whole fuckin' punchin' bag fo' me--ain't dat some shit?? We had found a good strong branch to dangle it from at a good height. Now, it's open to whoever wanna bash on da thing 'n let out some pent up energy or whatevuh. I'm not doin' dat fo' either reason. I gotta keep myself in shape to keep Sylive safe. Sure, my abnormality gives me powers or whatever, but it don' hurt to enhance dat as much as possible wit natural strength, ya know?

I spent da bettuh part of two hours wailin' on da bag. Right straight. Left. Hook to da abdonmen. Two mo'. Switch up da stance. Keep it movin' in da blind spot. Another shot to da ribs...Time stopped bein' a thing fo' a while. Now lemme tell y'all, I was so damn certain dat nothin' would break my focus. I had my shit locked on dis bag...but den...den I saw her.

I had almost missed it, t'be honest. But den I caught her in da corner of my eyes. Wooo boi...Can ya say cute as fuck?! What was her name 'gain? Hell, somethin' wit a "J" or somethin'? Aye, it ain't like I'm forgetful or anythin'. I only ever heard her name floatin' round wit da assistants 'n I ain't never really talked to her. Just only evuh saw her from a distance. Point is, she smokin' man!

...But, I can' help but wonder if I've seen her somewhere...Huh, weird. Fuck it. I'll remember at some point, I bet. I sling a towel ovuh my shoulder 'n chug down half my water bottle in one go. "Laaaaawdy lawdy, my muscles sore! I'm gettin' old a'ready??" I chuckle to myself 'n head on into da mansion in search of Sylvie. Dat lil connection of ours alerted to anothuh bad night of sleepin'...which fuckin' sucks. I wish I could do somethin' 'bout it man.

But, fo' now, I'll do what I can 'n fulfill da otha part of dat connection. She's in need of a good ole post-shower Kendra hug.

Jennifer

"She is fairly small." I confirm with a nod, frowning "She probably needs all the food she can get...you know I could probably offer to make her some eggs and bacon. Those are packed with protein. She needs plenty of it." I shake my head slowly. It was incredibly horrible how many of these children seemed to be underweight or malnourished. I was greatly surprised to see how in shape I was after two years of captivity. I could guess, in some degree, I was kept healthy in order to do a job correctly. This horrified me beyond all measure, for I still could not believe I lost two years of my life. If someone wanted to take two years, why didn't they just take me as a teenager? Those years sucked.

"Ah..." I say, relieved she had gotten me out of my thoughts "Don't worry, it only hurts for a few hours." I tease her with a small wink before shrugging. "You know what, to be perfectly honest, I am going to probably go very light on you. The best way to introduce you into running is not to go full force, that only causes your body to react to a situation that you have not been accustomed to. Trust me I learned this the hard way. I'll make sure we do a few rounds of walking before and between our running." I grin at her. "Don't worry, it'll be fun, just bring some water and make sure you are well hydrated. I recall my brother Jonas forgot his once and he nearly passed out. Not to mention he's over competent..." I roll my eyes and I suddenly realize how much I miss the dork. I could really go for a Jonas hug. He always knew how to give them well.

We head down to the kitchen and I immediately eye the possible food items I could offer to the two men upstairs. "Hmm..." I am sure that they would enjoy French toast or...ooo is that oatmeal? My mouth starts to water. Oh, God. I haven't seen this much food since I was a teenager. Training for the army usually meant lower rations and a lot of crying associated with exercise and dieting. "Perfect. I sort of wanted to put Andre in a headlock but..." I tease and I go up, grabbing a singular muffin and peeling off the wrap. "I don't think Scott would appreciate it." I take a bite then pause "Besides. As trained as I am, I wouldn't be surprised if Andre could take me." I chuckle softly and grab a piece of food. I put it aside briefly. "Were you considering doing anything today or just taking it easy? At some point I am thinking about taking them out to train or socialize with the public. I don't know how I would be with their powers, but I at least want to try and help." I offer a smile.

Quinn Kimberly

I can't believe she's doing this.

"Quinn...I'll be back....have you had breakfast yet? I'll bring you something," Tegan says through the door. I want to protest and tell her that she's wasting her energy. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, will make me to come out of this room. I'm doing this for them, dammit and I won't budge. I say all of that with utmost conviction, without a shadow of doubt plaguing my mind...

So how come my mouth keeps moving?

"N-no, I haven't..." For about two days now. And that's not just including breakfast. The most I eat are these pathetic pack of chips laying around in my bin; even then, I try to space them out as much as I can. They're almost gone.

Once I'm sure that Tegan's gone, an echo bounces about in my skull. Colette. They're not words...just her giggles. Mocking. Predatory. All knowing of my every thought and action and empty wishes. I am truly and without a doubt...cornered. No one can help me. That's all there is to it.

My head meets the door with a solid and angry thud. Liquid heat trails down my cheeks.

Rina
He seems to exam me and I reach over to make sure my hoodie covers my arms and had gloves glad i was completely covered. I cross my arms. I still wasn't goof with people.
"So a liar and nosy." I say jokingly being snarky again then said as he asked questions getting very defensive," I plead the fifth."
I was still a little upset at him for making me take longer making Damian wait and worry..I could have gotten caught. It wasn't any of his business anyways. I knew the people in the lab when I was little would give me vitamins and nutritious food to keep me health..although it never felt like a good meal. Although the time being with Warren had taken its toll on me.
He then goes on a tangent about calcium and vitamins:
“You are correct. I am not your father, yet...for your physical growth I’d recommend more than just the calcium. Vitamins are, in reality, overrated within the quantity that is socially recommended. You can gain a good amount of calcium from a variety of plants and their fruit. Now, I’d also recommend protein, particularly things along the line of eggs, or, my personal favorite, the entirety of swine. Pigs are most certainly delicious.” He says and I tilted my head then laughed. I was still surprised that my rudeness hadn't made him leave me alone..
"Yes bacon is pretty good." I then say jokingly with a smirk. He offered an invite to get breakfast with him.
"Alright." I say with a nod agreeing to go with him. I would get some food with Damon and bring that with him along with the candy I had.
"I hope you feel better after getting some water." I then say to him. He then seems to exam me again and I looked at him as I followed to the kitchen," Lead the way Mr. Andre."
"I swear I can see the clogs in your head turning." I then say to him jokingly
"You're weird but you seem alright." I then say giving him a kind of compliment..the only kind I can give.

Itzlie
"Yeah she is pretty tiny for her age." I say with a nod then hear her as she said she thought about making her eggs," I'm sure she would be grateful for that. That's nice of you."
"A lot of the kids are neglected or abandoned because of that fact they have powers...it's really sad." I then say looking down. I thought about my brother and how he was treated..how i had treated him.

"Hold on what..a few hours?" I say my eyes widen. She then laughed and winked and I could tell she was joking.
"Very funny." I say laughing she then told me she would go easy on me in the beginning.
"Thank God." I say with a laugh," I'm pretty sure I don't want to feel like I'm dying so early in the morning on the first day."
She then told me I should be fine as long as I don't forget to bring some water. I make a mental note of it.
"Alright got it. water does sound very important." I say. I then noticed how she seemed lost in thought for a second as she mentioned her brother. They must have been close.
We get some food after quickly scanning what we had out. "Hmm..." I could hear Jennifer say. She then mentioned putting Andre in a headlock
"Ummmm yeah. I don't think Scott would like that." I then say and laughed grabbing food.
"Were you considering doing anything today or just taking it easy? At some point I am thinking about taking them out to train or socialize with the public. I don't know how I would be with their powers, but I at least want to try and help." I offer a smile

Sakamoto
I wonder how Winnie is doing...being lazy instead of walking over there I teleported to her door and knock. For the week I have been practicing for skills. I was glad that it had seemed calmed although I wasn't sure how to feel about the new people with some of them being the ones that attacked us.
"Hey Winnie you awake." I say
 
Demi Locklear

My mood drops and my eyes harden as soon as Chipmunk brings up that fucker. I swear man, if I could just get a picture, just a mother fucking name--I could go out of my way to punish that piece of shit personally. Who in their right fucking mind could even think of hurting Helen? A dead man, that's who. Just wait until I find him...

"You're spouting nonsense, Chipmunk," I say with a soft smirk while waving her and Pen Drop over.

Twiglet nods in agreement while walking Helen over to the bed, her head briefly resting on top of Helen's on the way. "C-cookie's right. Don't be silly, Helen. Y-you never have to hesitate about coming to us," Pen says.

Huh, weird. I thought she had goo goo heart eyes for Chipmunk and trying to get over it? It's only been like a week, but Pen Drop's seems to be recovering fast as holy hell. Huh...well, never question good shit in life, right? If Pen's getting better, I'm sure as hell not complaining. At all. That poor woman deserves happiness just as badly as Chipmunk does (don't tell her I said that).

I reach out to Helen and pull her down into a tight hug, giving her cheek a pinch for extra measure. Pen Drop seats herself on the other side of Helen, stroking her hair soothingly while pinning her down with that signature "Pen's Worried as Fuck" face. "So, uh," I start slowly, "The same bastard, huh...Any luck I can get my hands on an address?" I try to speak with a joking tone, but I'll be fucking damned if I'm not serious. I'm gonna hunt this fucker down. I cut a quick glance at Pen, expecting her to scold me or whatever.

I'm half-right.

"Cookie, not now," she chides. Wait...just not right now? Does that mean we can talk about this shit later? I'm catching onto you, Twiglet. Don't think I don't see that same rage swirling underneath that timid facade. Either way, I drop it and shrug.

"Just saying," I grumble.

Samuel Banks

I shush my Care Bear while gently cradling her face in my hands, my thumb gliding across freckles to wipe at her tears. "Look at me, Love. Look at me," I urge quietly, the thundering in my chest threatening to fracture my ribs. "You don't have to tell me until you're ready, d-do you hear me? I'll wait for as long as it takes. I'm not going anywhere. Ever." I frown in concern as her breathing becomes more erratic, apologizing for the bloody nose. Love...I hate to see her filled with so much guilt. I attempt to smile for her as she wipes the blood from my face. However, I cautiously guide her hand away from the mess and frown sympathetically.

"It's okay, baby girl. I'll be fine, just an accident. I know you didn't mean it. I know, I know..." I press the inside of my shirt against my nose, dabbing away the last of it. "See? I'm fine. It's...it's not as bad as it looked, Care Bear. I promise. Hey." I clasp both of hands in mines, pressing a kiss to each one of her knuckles the same way I did when I confessed my love for her. My eyes refuse to leave hers. "I love you. Come heaven," Another kiss, "Or hell. Or anything else in between," Two more, "That'll never change. I'm here for you through thick and thin, for whatever it takes."

I do not care if she winds up breaking every bone in my body--my love for this perfectly imperfect goddess of a woman is unyielding.

Jack

“I am just relieved we can use our ability and survive without having to hurt too many people.” A small smirk pulls at my lips “Besides, it’s better than you having to journey dangerously into the nearby wilderness to find a cold spot to reside in. I much prefer you around the mansion.” Thoughts start to formulate in my head and Jacqueline kicks them out violently before they even have the chance to be born into beautiful, beautiful, Jack quotations. Curse you Jackie. I was about to make inappropriate comments and you always ruin the fun. Again, a sharp kick and I merely roll my eyes in agitation. What would I do without her?

As he nudges me I roll my eyes and very gently jab my elbow to his side. “No. She hasn’t really spoken to them, although, that funky spectacle boy has been friendly with her. Really grateful for what she did, otherwise she hasn’t been very social with them. I think she is content with the friendship she has. I don’t think she quite knows how to handle more than one, considering she hasn’t quite had many friendships like this.” I admit and am surprised as I don’t receive another mental kick. She knows it’s true, although she is happy with what she has.

“I really want Jackie to play Mario Oddessey. It looks so adorable and it’s up her speed. Relaxing, cutesy, colorful.” I roll my shoulders back and I tilt my head “We are considering doing it. If we can’t do it in the convent we know of an arcade area that’s more than willing to do so. Our strategy would be that one of us plays for half the time, then once that time is up we switch.” I chuckle “Talking about beating the system but hey...it works.”

“Food is the only thing worth getting up for.” I mutter tiredly as I take another large chunk from the granola bar “I’m considering heading to the library today and looking through some records if you are willing to join.” I tell him with a wink as I slowly decline in my seat “Doubt we will find much but it’s worth a shot.”

Sylvie

A yawn escapes me as I traverse down the hall and make my way into the dining area. Ah good. The children haven’t all crowded the area and haven’t laid their grubby little hands all over the food. More for me. I glide over to an empty table and notice that none of the food presented has been physically altered and my mouth begins to water. I pick up some bagels and some butter spread, hearing a light yawn from behind me. Surely enough it’s Scott, and he’s busy setting more of the tables with food. “Good morning Itzlie. Jen.” He waves over to the assistants and my head tilts, the brunette woman covering the entirety of her face with her bathroom towel as she gives Scott a thumbs up. Something about that woman has been bothering me, but I can’t figure out what it is. She isn’t familiar, and yet... She radiates with guilt and I can not determine why. I do not trust those who feel guilt to this high extent. She is hiding something. I ignore it for now and make sure to pick up some extra granola bars and bagels for Kendra, pursing my lips as I stick a bagel within my mouth to hold it while I traverse out of the mess hall.

“Kendah!” A muffled exclamation exits my mouth as I lazily reach up to hold my piece of food as I take a chunk out of it. Delight spreads across my face and an audible and quiet embarrassing groan emits from me as the breakfast hits that particular part of my stomach that makes me prideful to be alive. “I got food!” I exclaim a little more cleanly before holding it once more. I carefully make my way down the hall until I catch sight of her and I wave with my near free hand. Again, I take a good bite before managing a little smile at my luck at catching up with her “Good morning my wonderful comrade. I have brought supplements and nourishment.” I take one of the bagels and then her hand. I close her fingers around it, a crumb covered smile crossing my demeanor.

“You look well this morning. Good color upon your cheeks. Training I assume?” I ask, knowing well that she uses it as an outlet. It’s good for her, I can feel her emotional drive increase after such a thing. It’s a similar rush as taking a jog. Or, my personal favorite, getting up too quickly after sitting for a long period of time. “That’s good. You look muscular and ready to roll.” I grin at her and rub my eyes tiredly, blinking rapidly as bagel crumbs entering my eye sight. “Ah that was dumb...” I mumble as I decide to ignore it for now and take another huge chunk from the bagel “I’ll take five more.” I claim with a near full mouth. What can I say? Mother never taught me proper etiquette.

Andre

"Not nosy. Inquisitive." I defend myself as she appears to cover herself for a defensive measure. She tells me that she won''t answer my questions and I simply shrug "I suppose I don't blame you. Rather I find that quite intelligent of you. Don't answer everything someone asks of you. Generally that means someone is attempting to find a detail about you that could possibly reveal more of your character." I shrug "Oh...uh, mind me." I laugh softly as I go on a small tangent. I haven't gone on one of those in a good while, I sort of missed it. But at the same time, speaking with Violet, most of my discussions were much less on the tangent angle, more...let's say I keep my mind straight on topic, generally to keep from any information slipping out of me. "I am sure Scott has made good bacon this morning. He tends to make pork on this day of the week any who." I have been scheduling out when it was most likely for Scott to place out certain things, again, yet another spreadsheet in case of emergency. A delicious emergency.

"I will be fine~" I tune, my eyes glazing over as now another scene plays before me in the hall. Gentle, red confetti falls from the ceiling. The lights are dimmed, a light voice begins to sing from where I can detect is the living room.

"She is coming for me. She is rising from beyond the sea~. She wishes to brand her name upon my chest, baring her wicked family's crest. She is coming for we...she is rising from beyond the sea~"

"Stop teasing her! My word Cecilia!" The ghost of a voice booms from the living room, igniting the house with laughter. "She is not going to etch her name into your chest~ Unless you want her to~" There are dainty gasps, then exaggerated booms of snorts and chuckles.

"Oh just because little Giselle is clinging to your arm does not mean she is an innocent one...hell, if anyone here were to decide to take over the manor, I bet she would. Wouldn't you?" This voice is familiar. Cecilia? My eyes squint and with one blink of an eye, it's gone. Their voices, the scenery...Everything is back as it should be. A shiver crosses down my spine mercilessly.

"O-oh...thanks Rina." I comment and swallow as we walk further, my eyes flickering over as we pass the living room. I can still hear the woman singing. My skin starts to bubble with anxiety and I quicken my pace.

Jennifer

"I'd gladly cook breakfast." I grin at her "I really miss the sizzle of omelets, the sear of bacon and beef...my mouth is watering. Oh lord." I laugh at myself and brush back some loose strands of hair from my face before burying my face in my towel. "I am most certainly not presentable Itzlie." I tell her with a chuckle as I peek my face back out, noticing Scott busying himself with setting up food. He looks tired, although I am not surprised. He sleeps outside all the time now, and he rarely has a time to rest his eyes at any other point in the day. "Oh don't worry. You won't feel like you are dying at the first part of the day. You will for the entirety of the day." I tease her now, fully grinning. My eyes flicker back over to Scott who says

"Good morning Itzlie. Morning Jen." I wave in response and wipe my face again, just in time to miss Scott taking a large bite out of a muffin. He quickly retreats back into the kitchen, disappearing behind the door and towards the stove. Bless the poor man. Perhaps I should go in there myself and makes sure he gets any help that is needed.

"Heh. Good thing Scott didn't hear that last part. Does he seem tired to you?" My head tilts "Perhaps I should offer to stay on night watch for a few nights so he can get some proper rest."

Winnifred

My eyes peek open and I hear a knock on my door. Oh no. It's a kidnapper ain't it? I sigh and roll onto the floor tiredly, a small 'oomph!' escaping me before I hear "Hey Winnie you awake?" Sakamoto's voice booms and I force myself up, wiping the sand of sleep from my eyes as I go over to open the door. "Good morning Saka." I greet with a smile and glance upwards at him. "You sleep well?"

Helen

"I suppose it is foolish to assume you wouldn't welcome me when I have an issue, considering how kind you two are to me." A blush breaks out onto my face and I have to dodge their glances briefly as it spreads to my ears. "Er...what I mean to say is that you are very kind to me and always give me the best comfort..." Before I know it, the words are knocked straight from my tongue and I can feel Demi enveloping me in an embrace of warmth and protection. My eyes flutter close and I place my arms around her slowly, squeezing her with gentleness and care. I can feel Pen's fingers lacing through my hair, calming me. "Heh. Guess I speak too much sometimes. Thank you, you two." I slowly lean my head on Demi's shoulder and place on arm upon Penelope's shoulder. My eyes remained closed, air entering my lungs naturally and without care.

"G-gordon's address?" I stutter out, surprised at the sheepishness festering within me. I swallow anxiously and glue my eyes to the tops of my shoes. "Um...Demi I...listen...this...this thing that happened to me, or rather, what didn't happen...has been resolved. My...Logan, and Charlie, my brothers, have settled the score. He knows not to come after me or call me ever again. It is settled, the only thing that is the matter is myself, and the way I speak to myself about this issue. That...that bastard is not touching me again, and I do not need to reopen this wound." I am shocked by the sudden tone of my voice and red begins to gather in my cheeks once more "As much as I appreciate your offer, it is not needed. All I need from you two is your love and support, that is all." I bite my lip. I could hear the anger forming at her lips and it makes me wonder if she wished to hurt him. Hurting him would make someone no better than he was. Besides...Why would I want to see his face again, or have my friends and loved ones go look at that god awful son of a bitch?

"Um...oh dear I didn't mean to speak to you two like that. Many apologizes." I swallow nervously, my eyes flickering back and forth between the two girls. "I didn't mean to speak out of turn or suggest that your offer was not appreciated. Truly...I do appreciate it, I want you to understand that much. I am just fearful that opening him to you would only introduce more problems. If...if you understand what I mean."
 
Carrie

Silence overtakes me as he gently encourages me to focus on him. My eyes glaze over with an absentminded focus on the color of his eyes, but my mind replays the image of him over and over again. His blurry figure looming over me...with the cold traveling up my body...nipping and piercing at my skin... “I think I’m ready.” I whisper hoarsely, inspecting him as he wipes the remaining blood away. Before I have a chance to steal away his wound, he grasps my hands, gently curling them up to kiss each knuckle. Nostalgia flutters through my stomach and behind the grief, I manage a smile. “You are too good for me Samuel. I...I love you too. So much, and I just...” My teeth sink into my lip, nearly freeing blood from my skin. Copper laces along my tongue and I slip my hand gently from his, cupping his cheek, sliding my thumb along his skin. “I need to be honest with you. The first part of that is this.” Closing my eyes, I prepare myself for the sharp pain I know is going to ripple along my nose. Surely enough... crack. A gasp escapes me as blood begins to trickle down to my lips and throbbing pain explodes across my face.

“C-Christ. Heh...” I use the sleeve of my shirt to wipe away most of the crimson blood, grimacing at the blossoms smearing across the light blue fabric “Should have shown you that earlier I suppose...C-cool isn’t it? I haven’t used that frequently in a long time but, I figured now would be appropriate.” I swallow slowly, tears now continuing to well and burn. “I should have told you all this sooner...you deserve to know. I shouldn’t keep this all secret because...letting it fester in my system for so long has only hurt me. It hurts so much...” An exhale crosses my lips. “The second part of the truth is this....” Trembling, I take both of his hands in mine and squeeze. I reach up to kiss his forehead, lingering there for a few moments, hesitant to allow the truth from getting free “My dreams include that of being tortured. Brutually. Last weeks dream included me getting dragged and taken hostage. This weeks dream I was...” A low whistle sneaks from behind clenched teeth “Honestly if I told you most of the details from these dreams I don’t think you could look at me the same way. It included not being able to move while I was hit and forced into environmentally...horrible conditions. Now I want you to know this...” Shock overtakes me at how slow and composed I am. I am the shell that I have strived for a near decade to create. Professional. Tranquil. Steady. This facade is threatening to burst now, tears spilling freely onto my face as my grip tightens upon his hands, a single trickle of blood traveling past my lip.

“A possible majority of these dreams are, most likely, false and created by my brain to fill in gaps.” Warmth builds in my throat and it begins to suffocate me. I can’t believe I am truly admitting this to him. I should have told him this before, before he decided to admit that he loved me. How could he end up loving a woman who has done what she did to abnormals? “I-I...” It becomes difficult for me to breathe again and I fear hyperventilation is bound to occur. I bury my face within his shirt and steady myself by squeezing his hands tight. “I’m sorry...I’m sorry...Jesus it’s too early for all this...” A small, forced laugh escapes me.

Quinn hasn't been answering my calls or my texts for a week...Weird.

The first call I didn't worry so much about. It's Quinn, you know? That scatterbrained woman probably missed it. Or was being antisocial and decided to call me back later. Or maybe, just maybe, she had lost her phone while speeding around. Either way, no matter what the case, she always calls back.

Always.

Over a week passes and I hear nothing from her. I called her like six times and I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I sent way more texts. I'm worried about her, alright? Like...Quinn gets into trouble. Way too freaking much for her own good. God she's so stubborn. There's no telling what's going on with her. My worry has been getting in the way of my time at work; I can't count how many times I had bumped a customer's curls backwards or nearly missed the third shampoo cycle. I'm out of it--badly.

...Crap.

Forget. Fine! I can't even pretend as if I have a choice in this, do I? I know myself. I'll worry until I'll drive myself up a wall. I close the stand early, pack my belongings, pace through the parking lot, and drive my car over to Reid's Mansion.

"Quinn, you've got a lot of explaining to do..." I grumble.

Tegan
"N-no, I haven't..." she says answering my question and I immediately get up. I was worried about how long it has been since she had eaten or maybe I was just being over dramatic and Quienn has been zooming out to get food.
I run down the hall and stairs to where the food was. I stop for a second to catch my breath. I looked around at the food and wondered what she would like..oh well. I decided to get a little bit of everything. I see Itzlie, Scott, and some of the older adults here. I bite my lip wondering if I should tell someone to help Quinn as I still had no idea what was wrong with her.
Wait Carrie, I think. I had noticed how close Carrie and Quinn seemed to have gotten. I didn't see her around though.
I'll just get the food for me and Quinn then I'll go look for Carrie, I think. I try to be fast and running back to where Quinns room was. I wasn't as fast as her but I didn't have her powers.

Sakamoto
I hear a small 'oomph!' escaping from the room. Before I was about to say anything she comes to the door.
"Good morning Saka." She says to me "You sleep well?"
"Hey good morning. Yeah I slept fine..what about you?" I asked her with a smile. My stomach growled.
"Hey do you want to get something to eat?" I then asked her

Alexander
"Yeah I am glad that my powers helps you out." I say and smiled," It also is nice not having to worry about burning anything with overheating"
He gently jabbed his elbow into me after I had nudged him. I continue to eat my breakfast as he told me about what happened with the other friends she had.
"I see." I say with a nod. I guess it was understandable..although I was never told what happened. Just that they accidentally hurt someone. As long as they were happy with the choice then it was alright.
"I understand thought...I am not the most social person either." I say thinking. They were one of the first friends I have made that were around my age and the first and only friend I had made here," Although I am glad we are friends."

"Oh Mario Oddessey is a very pretty fun game that great for beginners." I say then looked at him as he mentioned how they would switch places," Is that allowed or would that be considered cheating?"
I then laughed at his joke about food being the only thing worth getting up for
"Yes I 100% agree." I say and laughed again. He then told me how later he was going to the library to look for some records then winked at me.
"Yeah sure. It's a date." I say jokingly with a grin to mess with him as he seemed to always try to flirt and mess with me. Going to the library was a good idea though.
"Anyways going to the library is a good idea and it's better to try." I say. There could be something there and was worth a shot. It also was better then getting into trouble for hacking.

Winnifred

"Super." I tell him with a weary smile and a thumbs up. This house was surprisingly peaceful, and provided a great resting space for odd yet satisfying dreams to spew forth. Last night I was in a labyrinth, and once I had met the minotaur, which happened to be, rather than half pull, half goat, we kept making puns back and forth until I defeated him with the mere horribleness of my words. My eyes squint slightly. Jesus. I didn't recall that until just now. I was truly surprised it came back all of a sudden and a chuckle nearly escapes me. I am such an oddity, aren't I?

"Sure!" I claim happily and loop my arm through his, leading the way down the hall "Man...I shouldn't have skipped dinner last night. I got too caught up training." I was surprised how well I had. been adapting to using my ability, and in fact I was able to move more freely the last week without fearing of destroying the house. "No matter. I will eat as much as I need to." I say joyously as I pat my stomach.

Jack

"It seems we were just meant to be friends." I say, my eyes fluttering innocently as a loud, joyous yawn escapes me. It is exaggerated but it still puts a smile upon my face once my mouth clamps shut. "I am glad we are too bud." I tell him sincerely with a shrug of my shoulders. All joking aside, I really did care about dreamboat here. Not so much of an attraction...more of a protective sense, you know? He was a brother...in a sense. I suppose. I really don't know how all this friendship stuff worked. I assume I am doing the correct thing, it has gotten me this far hasn't it? And besides, Jacqueline is not yelling at me. I have to be doing something right.

"It wouldn't be cheating. Unlike our other opponents, we occupy the same space. Therefore, we should be the same person." I wink at him. I still wasn't sure how sharing a body with my friend made me an individual, or whether or not one of us was just a figment of the other's imagination for the purpose of survival. "A date~" I coo at him playfully with a wink "I look forward to it dreamboat. Also just be sure to hit me if I ever make you uncomfortable." I swallow nervously as I place my hands in my lap. I truly did not wish to lose a friend because of my antics. Although, I think my nicknames are fine ~

"Besides. I know there is useful things that we can find there." I smile at him and bite my lip before leaning my head back. "I am curious though...is there a historical society around in the area? Could you figure that out?"

Warren

Her body is laid across my chest as I run my fingers through her hair, my breathing heaving her up and down...up and down...I watch. I watch as she twitches briefly, her body falling still with each stroke I administer. "One for sorrow, two for joy..." I sing gently to her, my grip around her waist tightening. "Three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver..." I slowly prop myself from the bed and take her limp body into my arms, spreading the cold down her bare arms. Her unconscious form shivers as I stand, softly exiting my room. My trophy from her is within the desk, a charm bracelet decorated with an otter and the star of David. It makes me smile to see such a beautiful addition to my collection. Besides, I doubt this girl will miss it, considering she should be ever so grateful I let her live. "Six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told..." I muse to her as I carry her down the stairs of the cabin, relieved that Torch and Bear were still resting. I am glad the kids were gone too. I used to be able to do my practice when Damon was here...but he'd try to help the poor girls out. And, worst of all, I fear Rina would finally protest to this sort of behavior. But...I finally can get back into my habit. It only took me...a few months.

Swinging the front door open with foot, I traverse into the area of the woods that is heavy with trees and various other types of plants and animals. Luckily for this woman, if she is intelligent, she will be able to find the walking trail and make her way back. I doubt she will remember much. They never really do. Besides, she has only been with me a night. Twelve hours of shock don't exactly pinpoint an exact identification. "Eight for a wish...nine for a kiss...ten a surprise you should be careful not to miss." I lay her down in some brush and watch as her eyes flutter. I grab surrounding items such as sticks, leaves, and other varieties of debris to cover her in. "Eleven for health, twelve for wealth..." I turn from her and begin to gently jog away, a small laugh emitting from me as about, say, five minutes later, I hear calls for help.. "Thirteen beware, it's the devil himself." I exhale and make my way back to the cabin where I pry open the door and slump onto the couch. "That felt good." I mutter as I reach over to the coffee table and pluck a cigarette from its packaging. I light it and stuff it into my mouth, puffing out smoke in content. "I haven't felt that good in a long while...Maybe Torch and I could enjoy some time together later..." I purpose to the silence surrounding me, wondering if I should check in on Damon and Rina. It has been a week after all. They haven't brought anyone back, and yet Damon has been sure to message me all is well. I suppose I should remain patient with him. Patience seems to be the best solution for the meantime.

I lean back on the couch and take another breath inwards, the tobacco pleasant against my tongue. "I want to do that again." I mumble to myself, singing once again the Magpie song that my mother would recite "One for sorrow...two for joy...three for a girl four for a boy..."
 
Penelope Hollows

I am a peaceful person. I don't like violence nor confrontation, and attempting to raise my fists against anyone paints quite the embarrassing picture in my head. With that said--how come I'm not completely against the idea of Demi roughing up this Gordon jerk a little bit? Guilt swirls in my gut but...l-let's just something hotter and angrier blockades the feeling pretty well. I lock eyes with Demi and, for the briefest moment, I think a silent message is traded between us.

We'll talk about this later.

Comforting Helen is top priority.

"Th-then we'll need to thank your brothers soon," I say with a smile.

"Yeah, especially that Logan one." Demi's smile is far more mischievous than mine. She shrugs. "Just saying. One sounds cooler than the other..."

"I sense a story behind that. Details later," I say with a giggle. I give Helen a brief squeeze, my features hardening once more. "A-and you're right, he's not touching you ever again. Not as l-long as I'm breathing."

"Ditto for me and your band of fudo friends," Demi says. I can tell her emotions are teetering left and right, switching from supportive to furious and back again. It's just endearing that she's trying so hard to keep her temper in check for Helen's case. "And what do you think this is, Chipmunk? A charity drive?" she scoffs. "You're gonna get this ooey gooey love and support no matter what, get it through that thick skull." Her mouth pinches and I have to stop myself from rolling my eyes--she's probably dying inside from that terrible pun. She's such a cute dork without realizing it.

"I-in normal speech--"

"Fucketh you"

"She means you n-never have to worry about not having our love and support."

"That's what I fucking said."

"Just revising. " Demi's annoyed expression is priceless. "A-anyways, you also have nothing to a-apologize for, Helen. Never feel sorry for s-speaking your mind, especially with us, okay?" I pin her down with an earnest stare, hoping that she takes my reassurance to heart. She's so darn amazingly considerate and sweet, that it hurts my heart whenever she berates herself. Whether for good reason or none whatsoever.

(Oh my gosh Warren..I feel bad for when he comes and meets Violet)
Rina
He defends himself from my little insults..and I am still surprised that he hasn't gotten annoyed by me. I just found his questions to be intrusive. He tells me how intelligent it was that I wasn't answering. I remain quiet not wanting to answer his questions, I wasn't sure about telling him anything.
"What are you trying to find out Mr. Andre." I asked him trying to be respectful looking over at him. He then mentioned how there would probably be bacon.
"What really?" I say now becoming excited," Bacon does sound good."
"I will be fine~" He say as he then seems to freeze and I watched..he seemed to be somewhere else. I tiled my head watching wondering what was wrong with him.
"O-oh...thanks Rina." He then comments after he had this weird episode.
"You're welcome?" I say confused. He then quickened his pace and I run to keep up with him.
"Hey slow down." I say trying to keep up wit him
"Mr. Andre....." I say again not sure if I believed him now," what happened? You zoned out there for a second."

Itzlie
"Oh my gosh you are making my mouth water too." I say laughing with her. Scott then comes and I see the way Jennifer bury her face in her towel.
"Yeah I am not presentable either." I admit with a sigh. I probably looked like a mess as well with trying to stay where my brother way and my parents would throw a fit with not looking: like a proper lady. I didn't care thought.
"I think Scott is to busy to care thought. He probably didn't notice." I then say kinda admiring his hard work. I also felt kinda bad for him.
She then joked about me feeling like I was going to feel like dying the whole day
"Oh joy." I say sarcastically and laughed again.
"Good morning Itzlie. Morning Jen." Scot then says
"Hi good morning." I say back to him.
"Yeah he does seem very tired" I then say and shrugged ," If you want to offer to stay up. That would be very nice."

Sakamoto
She comes to breakfast with me. She seems to be in a good mood and i smiled as she looped her arms with mine as we go down the hall. I kissed her cheek thinking she was cute when she giggled.
"Oh you must be very hungry." I say as she told me she lost track of time and didn't have dinner. I laughed as she patted her stomach. I was hungry as well but probably not as hungry as her though.
"Alright I wonder what Scott put up for breakfast for us to eat. Make sure to leave some food for the rest of us though" I then say jokingly.
"Anyways how has training been going?" I then asked," I have been training as well."
I had wondered were she was yesterday when she didn't come for dinner.

Alexander
"Yup." I say laughing as he said it seemed like we were meant to be friend. It was nice to have them as a friend and he seemed to sincere with saying how he was glad. He yawns and I couldn't help but yawns as well.
"Oh alright. If you say so." I then say as the subject changed to the game competition. Saying how it wasn't cheating..i was still confused about if they were the same person. I wondered it it ever confused them as well. They had their own bodies, thoughts, dislikes, likes, personality and ideas....best not to think about it to much I guess.
"A date~" He then says playfully with a wink "I look forward to it dreamboat. Also just be sure to hit me if I ever make you uncomfortable."
He then seems to swallow and get nervous
"Hey we are friends if I ever feel uncomfortable I'll let you know." I say being grateful that he seemed to be considerate.
"Anyways I've gotten use to your nicknames and stuff but i'll let you know alright? Also if I ever do anything to hurt either of you or you need anything you'll let me know as well okay." I say patting his back.
"A historic society...I am not sure," I admit," but I can find that out. I am sure we will be able to find something out."
I then munch on a granola bar thinking. I then watched seeing Itzlie, that woman Jennifer, and Scott.
"I wonder how Itzlie's brother is doing. Also is it me or does Scott seem like he's running on empty." I say to Jack as I watched them thinking aloud.

Helen

"Oh I am sure Logan and Charlie would love to meet you...wait..." My eyes flutter close as they flicker back into my skull in half hearted annoyance. "They won't tell you anything about it." I am not certain with my words. I know them very well, and to be perfectly honest, had they had a chance, they would most certainly like to settle the score again, and again. "But if you would like to speak with them for social purposes, I support you. I honestly can't chose a favorite. Well, Charlie is the only one of the two who has not pulled my hair or called me a plump chipmunk. Although, Logan has done me some favors..." I chuckle softly "He once defended me from a pack of girls by throwing me over his shoulder and threatening to do what he called the 'chopper' maneuver.' I roll my eyes. As much as I love Logan, he was a nerd through and through. Even if he would never admit it to me or anyone else.

"Thank you two for being the best people I could have ever wanted in my life. I love you two. So much." A smile erupts upon my lips and I have to withhold a chuckle at their bickering. They are adorable, and it relieves me to see that they seem to be much more comfortable with each other. I have to be honest, I did not see this coming until now. I honestly assumed they would have felt too much disgust with each other, but it turns out Penny is tougher than we thought, and Demi is sweeter than she thinks.

"Sometimes I fear if I tell you what I am thinking, you will look at me a different way." I admit, swallowing some newly found nerves. "It isn't always pretty in my head. And sometimes I think that I can't get away from myself. I know that's not healthy, but it's been getting better. Its been a lot better. And I have you to thank for, and Nellie and Cy of course. I don't know how a group of people can make me feel so safe...so alive." I laugh softly "I suppose I owe you a lot. All of you." My eyes glaze over as I suddenly become transfixed with the sight of Penelope. She really did have the beauty of an angel sent from God. They both did. My personal guardians it seems. "Have I ever told you that you were my first good friend?" The words escape me seemingly without my control "I couldn't have asked for anyone better..." I then glance up at Demi and smile "You too. You were the first person I let cuddle me so extensively." I laugh a bit at myself "Honestly I have forgotten how wonderful it is to be hugged."

(I am not sure how much I can stand Warren XD)

Andre

"Please just refer to me as Andre. Or...Andy if you'd like." I ask of her with a light blush upon my cheeks. Only my mother tends to call me Andy, but I feel that this would help calm the girl or at least create a sort of bond between us both. "I am merely trying to determine if or when something might have occurred to make you malnourished, and if there is any retribution to be paid for possible abuse."I clear my throat as these words come out. I may not be the best at empathizing with most, but this girl could be no older than fifteen. She was merely a child who seems to have suffered. I cannot be certain, but that is why I wish to confirm my possible suspicions.

"Oh...sorry dear." I apologize after she seems to notice my small blank from reality. My brows knit in concern and with a bite of my lip I merely shake my head. "I...migraine hit again. Bad this time around. I am fine. It comes and goes." I claim as I lead her into the dining hall. The whiff of breakfast hits my senses and my body relaxes almost instantly. "Looks like there is still good stuff out." I identify a table of decent food for Rina and I lead her there, reclining as I motion for her to chose first.

Jennifer

"I haven't had a good meal in so dang long." I exaggerate as I pat my stomach and let out an exhale "They used to make such bad meals when I was training for the military. Or at least in the squad I was in." I brush some stray locks from my face and then with a tight grimace, pull the rubber band that was binding my hair in it's messy ponytail. It plops around my shoulders and I grimace. "Ah. I am going to need a show. Pre shower Jenny isn't so hot." I laugh softly to myself as I brush it back and go to retie it. "Let's hope he is too busy." I smirk and wave back at his greeting. He salutes the both of us before disappearing back into the kitchen.

"I am going to do it whether he likes it or not." I inform her with a small smile "Im gonna take my place at that plastic pink chair and sit my behind right now. He's gonna have to toss me out if he wants to keep that place."
 
Torch
SQ_Willdabeast_AustinEguia_009-e1436885769348.jpg

Persuader's a really fucking boring roommate.

Guess I can't really complain though; it was my idea to keep him in sight. I know this--the fucker's hella ungrateful. I definitely didn't need to offer, but I told him that he could conk out on the end of the bed for sleep. But nooo, the little chicken fuck had decided to make himself comfy in the corner. Throughout the day, he just sits there, staring into nothing and thinking about hell knows what. It's either that or I drag his ass out to keep his skills in check; a small town fair here, and group of unlucky fucks out in the city there. Just casual shit, yeah?

I wake feeling okay. Not good, not bad either. Could've been good if Tiny over there wasn't a buzzkill. I yawn, throw my arms up for a stretch, before grinning at my bunk buddy. "Rise and shine, Tiny! Get up!" I chuck a pillow at him. Like always, he doesn't dodge, just lets it smack him dead in the face. "Jesus fuck, man," I sigh in annoyance, "Try to fucking dodge, yeah? You a masochist or something?"

"...No," Tiny whispers.

Heh. Smartass. Or maybe he's all being all bummed and weak from a few days back. He knows how to take orders, at least, though he's kinda slow to answer sometimes. Always that hesitance. Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate. For what? He didn't know that man; hell, for all we know, he could've been just as scummy and hardcore as us. But naw, Tiny's gotta have morals still.

Little whiny punk.

I laugh and roll out of bed, stopping to admire my sexy ass in the mirror. "Damn...looking hot, Torch. Hah! Get it?" I wave over at Tiny to see if he caught the joke. He pauses a moment, fidgets, then nods.

"Yes. Very funny."

I scowl at him, slowly making my way over. "So fucking underwhelming. I take time outta my life..." I seize him by the back of his collar, forcing him to stand up, and start marching downstairs with him in two. I'm hungry. "To keep your ole mousey ass entertained, and all I ever get in thanks are two to three words at a time? Fucking ungrateful, yeah?" Tiny doesn't fight the pull. He's just silent the whole fucking way down, tripping over himself as he scales the stairs backwards. Heh. Spineless. Fucking spineless. As soon as we reach ground floor, he swing him around onto the couch, just barely hearing him gag from the motion. Heh...that felt nice. "Sit. Stay. Good boy."

Tiny don't say nothing.

I start rummaging through the fridge, my stomach empty and churning like holy fuck. "What we got to grub on in this fucking literal toothpick stand?" I grumble.

Winnifred

He kisses my cheek now as we walk down the hall, heat seeping into my cheeks without my permission. I scold my inner workings for being so easily manipulated by the little things. I shouldn’t have so much color for someone who hasn’t eaten since yesterday afternoon. And yet here we are. “Er...yes. I can’t wait to go eat.” I claim with a light laugh as I flush out any embarrassment as my stomach rumbles yet again. “Oh hush. We are on the way, cranky little organ.” I mumble to myself, wondering how Saka puts up with me and my antics for the most part. “I think Scott just about made everything again. He’s good at making sure we are all set in the morning.” I comment as we enter, my eyes training at the leftover food that was surprisingly bountiful still. Scott really does work himself on this, my guess is he preps the night before and just plates everything out in the morning.

“Training has been good.” I admit as I find that there is a bowl of oatmeal prepped. “Oh...I can hear my digestive system singing.” I muse to myself as I grab a spoon that is placed next to it and start stuffing my face “I haven’t been blowing stuff up as much.” I admit, mouth nearly full. I swallow before continuing “My movement for making energy has been mostly trained on utility rather than destruction. So for example, if I need to knock something off a shelf because it’s too high up...I’m able to.” I inform him with a large, bright smile “Makes up for being small.”

Jack

A smile spreads along my face as he continues, resting my cheek in the palm of my hand. I suppose it was lucky we had found each other. His overheating wasn’t healthy and my constant need to feed wasn’t either. Besides...I don’t need to constantly find new prey to feed upon. I don’t need to knock out another poor girl, Jackie doesn’t need to handle my constant fear. This friendship was mutually dependent for survival, and I find that there is sudden fear in that realization. I shake it out of my head quickly and I claim

“I appreciate the sentiment. You aren’t going to hurt either one of us, trust me I know.” I wink at him but am surprised by the back pat. I suppose that is what male friends do to each other? I wouldn’t really know, having only his friendship for a week. “And know I only give nicknames to the people I like.” I waggle a finger at him “that means I’ve claimed you as a likable friend and there is nothing you can do about it.” My head tilts and I bite my lip, crossing my arms as my mind clutters with thoughts “There has to be some records. Particularly about this place. It’s been here over fifty years and it’s a damn mansion. There’s history about it, that’s for sure.”

“Hmm? Itzlies brother? You mean Chizzled “Jawline” McGee over there?” I snort “He hasn’t shown his face much now has he. I’m sure he is fine...as for Scott...he’s been like this for days. I think he needs to sit down for five minutes and breathe. Constantly in a rush and is always looking over his shoulder.”

(Warren is pretty bad.....ugh.....I know these are all make believe characters we created but Warren is really creeping me out. I also do feel real bad for Violet...for a second I was thinking about reconsidering the plan of having Warren attack Violet but only for a second. Mostly because it would make GREAT drama haha) (Is Warren based on any bad guys in real life? I know I based Itzlie's aunt on a real person.)

Tegan
I head back to where Quinn was after getting some random food as I went up the stairs and down the hall. I had also gotten some food for myself as I hadn't eaten anything either. I was so grateful that I had seemed to break through to her. She had answered me after a while week..i had missed her. I went and knocked on her door again
"Hey....I'm back." I say now feeling a little shy and nervous. Hoping she wouldn't ignore me again. I bite my lip but then shakes my head.
No she won't do that, I think
"I've got some pancakes, bagels, french toast..all those unhealthy breads." I say jokingly a little bit of my accent coming out," I also got some bacon. Although if you don't like any of those I can go back to get something else."
I hadn't planned on eating the meat as I was a vegetarian but I wasn't sure about Quinn. I wait for her to respond.

Rina
(Oh my gosh I am loving this interaction)
"Ok." I say with a nod thinking wondering which I would prefer to call him," I guess I'll stick with Andre."
I'll just call him Mr.Nosy Liar when I was angry, I think. He then honestly answered my questions saying how he wanted to know if I was abused. I get quiet not answering....
"None of your business." I say looking away putting my hands in my pockets while trying to be calm. I didn't want to say anything at least not yet. This was the third time I had said this to him. I wondered how obvious I was being. I couldn't say anything until I made sure we were free from Warren...till Damon was free.
"Hey does anyone here have any electric powers." I then asked trying to change the subject. I knew it was a random question but I hope he would forget asking the previous question and I could also see if there was someone who could help.
"It's fine.You alright?" I say as he then apologizes for what happened. I could tell he didn't mean to and I caught up to him. I was worried about him again. He go into the dinning hall and my mouth watered at the smell of food. I clamped my hand together happy that it seemed like there was still a ton of good food left. I walked away from Andre getting food pilling up my plate. It had been a week since we have been hear but I guess I still had it in the back of my mind to get as much food as I could. I realized what I was doing and stopped myself from getting to much..although I did get enough to have some food for Damon.
Control yourself. They aren't going to starve you here, I then say
"I am getting some food for my friend." I say to him feeling the need to explain.

Natalie Kross

"There it is," I mumble to myself as the mansion's gates come into view. I'm not entirely sure how secure this place is, but I imagine there's some kind of barrier or precautionary boundary I've gotta get through to see Quinn. Or maybe I'm just over-exaggerating and letting my crazy imagination feed into those ideas. Maybe all I've gotta do is knock politely, wait for someone to let me in, and ask to see Quinn. Simple. Easy peezy.

Yep...

Yeah, no. I'm too frazzled for that.

I cringe as the tires screech against asphalt, coming to a sudden jerking stop in the driveway. I literally jump out of my car, keys fumbling in my fingers as I struggle to lock the doors and stomp up to the gates. I try to open it, but it's locked. Of course it is. Holding in a sigh, I punch the dang button and scream into the freaking box, "Hello? Let me in, it's Natalie! I want to see Quinn!" My foot taps impatiently. Jeez, I haven't been this wound up in years. Stupid Quinn. This is all her fault.

She's getting a good bonk on the head when I see her.

Nellie King

"Man," I chuckle, "Awesome kisses, awesomer cuddles, and the absolute awesomest promise around? You really are the deluxe complete package." I bask in his warmth, already forgetting the challenge to make him move. What can I say? I'm kinda lazy, especially at this time of the morning, and Cy's one mighty convincing dude. Ugh--curse your political persuasive ways!

"Naw, I'm not trying today." I loop my arms around him in turn, beyond pleased by the closeness. Uuuugh, why you so comfy sir?? Tis not fair, I say! I nuzzle him again, a beyond goofy and content smile on my face. Gosh...when's the last time I've felt this whole? This complete? That dang hole in my chest has been around for long time, but I've become accustomed to the it. Gotten so used to the bitter cold that I'm...I'm sorta lost and confused about what to do with this sudden happiness. Of course, I'm gonna embrace the crap out of it and savor that bad boy. But how do I keep it? How I prevent myself from messing up? Where's the manual for this? Maybe I should sign up for Stay Happy 101 and have Sam distribute the homework. He'd be one heck of a Happiness Tutor, I bet...I'm off track.

I sit up on my elbow, staring down in amusement at Cy's sleepy look. "Passing out on me already?" I giggle, already getting lost in his radiance. In his sweetness. His everything. "How hurtful!" I lament dramatically while throw a hand against my forehead. But you know what? Lady Luck's got a vendetta against me or something. As soon as I throw myself back...I run out of bed and next thing I know my butt's on the floor.

"Okay...alright. First off," My hand appears peeking over the edge, one finger raised, "Ow. Second off, pretend like you didn't see that." I struggling to sit up and plop my chin on the bed, grinning sheepishly at Cy. "Babe...I think your clumsiness is rubbing off on me." My face is probably pinker than a pig's butt, but it doesn't matter. Minus the throbbing in my tailbone, this is the best I've felt in years.

And it's all because of him, my little Cyonis god of the Earth and Stars.

Quinn Kimberly

I jolt in surprise when I hear Tegan knocking at my door again. She seriously came back? Tegan...come on. You're making this really freaking hard.

"Hey...I'm back," she said. The timid color of her tone drives guilt through my lungs. I wish I wasn't the cause of that sound, but I am. God I'm such a screw up. I gotta say though, I'm pleasantly surprised as she lists off the food she brought up here...All "unhealthy breads" that I love to eat. I never had the best diet and that has never changed. With the metabolism my abnormality gives me, I don't have time to worry about eating healthy, just enough.

My body hates me so much right now, I just know it. I can't help but salivate. French Toast...dammit, that really is one of my favorites, second to chocolate. Tegan knows I've got a ridiculous sweet tooth. Jesus, she's really not playing fair. Shaking like crazy, I struggle to stand up, using the door knob to pull myself onto my feet. The knot around my ankle tugs a bit, reminding me that I won't be able to step one foot out of the room...

"Make this quick, Quinn. That's your thing," I whisper to myself. My fingers encircle the knob...then I freeze. Fear and hesitance holds me hostage for a handful of moments. I...I shouldn't be doing this. Sure, I can try to act innocent. Sure, I can just say that this is one time. Sure, I can lie myself and declare that I won't budge again. But that's how it always goes. One moment of weakness will grow into two, then five, and so on and so forth until I lose sight of the goal.

Then Colette will ensnare me in her trap.

My shaking has worsened and something hot trails down my cheeks. Breathe, Quinn. Breathe. It's okay. You're strong. You've got this. Nothing bad will happen...just, open the door, nice and slow...

Click...

I peek one watery eye through the crack, though I can't bring myself to speak. Just the sight of Tegan shoves cotton into my lungs, rendering my vocal chords useless.
 
Itzlie
I laughed at her exaggeration.
"I see..." I say with a smile, she talked about her time at the military a lot.
"Were you guys in your squad close?" I then asked curious as it seemed like they were. I wondered how her family and the people she had known before handled it when she suddenly was gone. I also wondered if she ever had to use her powers when training...
"Oh..yeah I should good a good shower as well." I comment with a sigh at her joke.
"My gosh if my parents saw me right now...my mother would nag me about how I should take better care of my appearance and that this is now how a lady should present herself." I say rolling my eyes. I looked over at Scott as she says she hopes he is to busy to notice.
Yup, he is definitely busy, I think as he had disappeared.
I looked at her and couldn't help but laugh again as she talked about how she was basically just going to camp outside in Scotts place.
"Well, he probably will fight you on that with the energy he has left but I am sure he will be grateful." I then say. There was no way Scott could keep running the way he has. He has to rest sometime.
"I mean it seems like ha hasn't really been sleeping. He is human right?" I then say jokingly.I wanted to help Scott a little but I also didn't just want to leave Jennifer alone to be by herself.
"Hey....want to help Scott really quick with putting the rest of the food out?" I asked her. I felt like a bad camp counselor as I realized I haven't been much help since my brother had reappeared.

Sakamoto
I notice that she seems to blush after I kissed her cheek. I smiled finding it cute..I think about teasing her but decided against it. We head to the kitchen as I listen to Winnie talk to her growling stomach. I wasn't surprised though as she hadn't eaten since yesterday. We go in and I see the layout of food.
"Wow..I mean I am still impressed that Scott is able to get up early enough to always set up all this food." I say seeing Scott seeming very busy then disappear into the kitchen.
"Oh that's good to hear. It would be best not to just blow up everything." I say as she told me her training has been good. I went to get some food as well. I get some food as well.
"You aren't pushing yourself to much right?" I asked knowing that it had only been a week since the attack...I guess I was a little protective of her. I knew she was prone to overdoing things and didn't want her to hurt herself after what happened. I noticed Itzlie talking to Jennifer..one of the people that attacked us. I was still surprised at how normal it all seemed and wondered if it fine to just let them be around us and what had happened to us as we hadn't really been given any answers and the police hadn't came.

Alexander
(Wait what is the fear?)
(Also can't wait till Alexander see the protesters to the house...he is going to be so mad since those types of people were the kind that hurt him and his parents)

I notice more people come in and continue to eat my food. It seemed like everyone was waking up now. He seemed surprised when I pat him on the back and I noticed he had also seemed surprised the first time I had ruffled their hair. Maybe they weren't use to it...i didn't know. This is how friends were suppose to act to each other though right? I didn't want to do anything that made them feel uncomfortable either.
He then mentioned how he only gives nicknames to people he likes.
"Alright then."I say with a smile," good to know."
I was glad that he seemed to think of me as much of a close friend as I did him.
"Oh yes I agree there has to be something. I mean they can't get rid of everything." I say agree with him. There has to be some kind of record.
"I mean if worse comes to worse...I guess we could also look for the oldest lady or guy around and ask what they knows about the mansion." I then say jokingly hoping it wouldn't come to that. I wasn't sure how the people around here would react with us asking questions being abnormals and all.

"Yeah her brother. Oh my gosh you also gave him a nickname." I say as the subject changes shaking my head but couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"Yeah he has seemed to be hiding out. Although I honestly don't blame them. The woman Jennifer seems to be the only one out of the ones taken that has adjusted well." I then say. I wondered what it must be like to be those people that had attacked us...I wondered if they felt bad. I mean if I was them I would have.
"Even with all that information I got from hacking I still don't get what happened to them." I then say moving my hair out of my face and scratching the back of my head," Or any information on the house."
"Also are we sure Scott isn't like a robot or something." I then say jokingly leaning back on the chair," He seems to be always on the go doing something and I had not seen the man sleep."
As I was looking around at the people I noticed Sakamoto and Winnie coming in. I guess at least a couple of good things had came from this.
1. My friendship with Jack/Jackie
2. Those two idiots finally getting together (still didn't get why Sakamoto thought Winnie liked me)
I wondered if I should apologize to Sakomoto for trying to rope him into what we were thinking of doing.

Warren

My eyes don't bother to flicker open as I can hear Torch plop Bear next to me upon the couch, and rather I huff out tobacco smoke in my impatience. As much fun as I did have last night and this morning, I felt tense. I want to go and have more fun with my favorite girls. I nearly grimace at my own thought, a little laugh escaping my lips as I think about how perverted this must be. How would I know? I just know that it feels so good.

"Tobacco and a human heart." I call out to Torch, sarcasm layering my tone in several degrees. "Look, you could always go chipmunk or rabbit hunting. Take a two by four board and you can kill a rabbit in a heart beat." I pluck the cigarette from my mouth, flicking ash onto the carpet in disinterest. "Otherwise I'd recommend getting your ass out and going to buy things yourself." I reach over to nudge Bear, a smirk playing at my lips "Or make him go out and do some chores. Kid might need the fresh air. Although, I wouldn't let him get too far. Little bear might scurry off back to his little pack." I scoff and let my eyes flutter close, thoughts bashing themselves against each other, twisting and turning and slicing at my skull. I wanted to go out. The heat was beginning to blister at my skin, although, I could tell it was not the natural heat. This bodily affect of mine has been growing severely worse the last few days. Ice begins to form at my fingertips and it spreads.

I don't keep her frozen for long. Her big, fearing eyes stare at me lifelessly as her mouth remains gaped open in a near scream. I treasure the moment, but then I recall the death of my mother took none too long while in the ice.

b1ba6cf206466ffdeb8ed53d3ab2a738.gif



I snap out of the memory of her eyes, my fingers tracing along her cold, slick cheek, her freckles nearly invisible underneath the thin layer of ice. I never truly found beauty in movement, no, a single moment is broken by a swift and unexpected twist of the hand, or swivel of the foot. But in this moment...and this moment alone...she is near perfection. But I cannot keep her like this. I press the palms of my hands against her shoulders and allow for the ice to melt, a horrid gagging noise emitting from her as she catches her bearings. She isn't too damaged it seems, but her eyes are wild...she twists her body and shivers before I drop a light blue blanket over her trembling. body. I sit myself next to her...her body flinching away from her as my fingers trace her torso.

"You think you have learned your lesson yet?" I question her gently, her head twisting away to avoid my gaze.

"Yes." She whimpers lightly, broken, cold, defeated. "I deserve this. I shouldn't have done those tests. I shouldn't have done any of it." She pauses, her breathing labored. "Can you kill me now?"

"No. There will be no killing." I soothe her, gently reaching over to undo her bound hands. She rubs them, suspicious, before I pull her body into my torso. She doesn't dare struggle. "Just let me have one more day of fun."


My mind flickers back to normal. Of course I didn't keep her for just a day more. And yet...she still haunts me. I shake my head and glare over to Torch "Have any destructive plans today or should I go and check on Rat and Freakshow? I figure they are doing alright, but haven't shown much progress. It has only been a week..." I frown. "I just hope they are taking it seriously over there."

(I honestly don't know how much torture I'll actually write for him...he gives me the heebee jeebes to be perfectly honest XD)(So I based him off the stereotypes of serial killers. Past abuse, animal torture, arson, but honestly as I was writing for him he began to remind me of Ed Kemper, a serial killer with mother problems, and honestly a little Ted Bundy, his charm and violent outbursts. He also sort of reminds me of Henry Lee Lucas with his relationship with Torch, Damon and Rina. I know too many serial killers good lord XD)

Andre

(*Andre's big brother senses he never knew he had starts tingling*)

"Unless you can consider another nickname, I'd appreciate it." I tell her with a gentle smile and I rub the back of my head, grimacing inwardly due to my weariness. I should probably go give a few muffins to Violet as a good morning present. Besides, I might get kisses or hugs out of the deal. I must admit, I have gotten slightly more cuddly over the week, and I don't know if I like this or not. I just assume the boost of different chemicals within my brain are coming from the affection I give her and she gives me. It is no matter...I should adjust soon enough to it all...hopefully.

"Uh...sorry." I clear my throat and press my knuckles against my neck as my cheeks flare up in color. I truly need to be better about questioning her. I am supposed to be the intellectual, or at least one of the intellectuals in this home. I should be able to figure this social communication out. What's so hard about it, and why am I having such a hard time? It makes no sense to me. "As for people with electricity based abilities...I know one girl has a sort of magnet like affect. Almost like magneto, you know that character? I suppose, but I guess she has a little something else to it. I recommend speaking to her, I might be able to find her at some point. Why do you want to speak to one?" I ask with my head tilted, curious as to what Rina wanted with electricity. Experiments? I doubt it. She seems too young to experiment with such a thing. I could be wrong, when I was fourteen I wanted to experiment with battery waste and nuclear energy. "I am fine, Rina. Thank you for inquiring." I tell her with a smile and see the absolute joy that overtakes her as she enters the dining hall. This makes my smile widen and sure enough, she bolts from my side and goes to fill up her plate.

"Your friend, that other young man? I think I have seen him around. Messy brunette? Sort of small for his age?" I inquire of her as I tower over her, watching her fill up the plate. "That should be plenty for the both of you. Would you like me to assist you in getting some of this up to him? I am sure he would appreciate the food." My mouth begins to water and I realize I can probably get some muffins to Violet while I am on this trip. She may still be asleep, but I at least want her to have some good nourishment this morning. She was small and frail too, although she seemed to be looking better over the week. I still have not quite dug out why she is this way, and I do not wish to do so if it makes her uncomfortable. "Damon his name?" I ask, not sure if I recalled correctly. He looked like a Damien to me.

Demi Locklear

"The chopper m-maneuver?" Pen Drop giggles. "Wow...he sounds a lot like you, Cookie. The nicknames and dorkiness and everything."

My eyes narrow into a glare. "The fuck did you say, Twiglet?"

Her vision strayed to the side. "Nothing." Cheeky little fucker. She knows what the hell she's doing and I'm not in the fucking mood for it. Watch your step!

"Uh huh," I grunt while rolling my eyes.

"Thank you two for being the best people I could have ever wanted in my life. I love you two. So much."

Chipmunk...Goddammit! Why does she have to come straight for my heart like that?! And it's always when I least expect it; I can't even prepare myself anymore! Jesus fuck. It's okay Demi. All this warm mushy stuff in your chest is normal, you know this by now. It's called fondness and love for a best friend. You got this. You're not dying. Inhaling slowly, I lay my head on top of hers and mumbled, "Ditto, Cottonball. Wouldn't trade your scrawny butt for anything."

Pen Drop doesn't seem to mind squeezing in for a hug, though it's brief. She pulls away and beams what I fucking swear to you guys is a smile crafted from a piece of the sun. Fucking how?? "We l-love you too, Helen. Honestly, w-we wouldn't be here together t-today if it wasn't f-for you coming into our lives."

"She's got a point," I hum thoughtfully, "You're the only reason I gave these band of dorks the time of day--"

"But you're a dork just like us--"

"Shut up. Trying to share emotions. Anyways, I'm pretty damn sure things wouldn't be the way they are without you in the picture. Same thing goes for Cyrus and his girlfriend." Yep, you guessed it--I still can't bring myself to mention the blood-bender's name. Sue me.

"Y-you don't owe us a s-single thing," Pen Drop says. I want to say that her tone is stern, but not quite. I've heard her stern and that's not it. Hah! Far from it, damn fire-breathing hibernating dragon in sheep's clothing! "B-besides, the only payment w-well accept is your friendship, c-company--"

"And accepting all of the cuddly mushy crunchy cookie bear hug specials," I finish helpfully. Pen giggles.

"Right, and those."

"Have I ever told you that you were my first good friend?" Helen says while looking at Pen. Whatever bratty bullshit she planned on shooting back just evaporates into thin air and her features soften considerably. "I couldn't have asked for anyone better..." Words can't describe the endearment lighting up Pen Drop's face like a 1,000 watt heat lamp. I can understand why she'd react like that; Chipmunk just has a way with reeling people in and saying the exact things that they need to hear. She's literally pureness and healing balm wrapped in cotton, if that shit makes any sense.

Either way, Helen's definitely got a point. Let me tell you, when I first met Twiglet? Dear God--I wanted to strangle her. Several times over. She was so fucking standoffish and assumed the worst of me; I understand why she did, my reputation around the mansion was fucking horrible, but it still annoyed the hell out of me when she had the audacity to get all hostile after I put my entire heart and soul into protecting Helen. Calling me Demon and shit, getting all up in my face and looking at me like some...Like I wasn't human. Like I was a monster.

It hurt. It fucking hurt a lot and on instinct I got pissed. I attacked and called her out on being weak. On being a shitty friend. For not being there for Chipmunk in her time of need. Trust me, I still feel really shitty about it to this day, though I doubt Pen Drop's still hung up over it. We're passed that...right? Yeah. Yeah we have to be. We gotta be. We can't just act the way we do right now and notbe on good terms.

Right?

That's another thing about us and this weird ass friendship (who'd have thought we'd ever get to that fucking level!) we've got going--there's something...like...shaky about it. Maybe not shaky, but for some odd reason I can't help but think we're looking for something or some shit. Like we're waiting for something. I've got no clue what the hell I'm looking for though. I can't put a word to it, not a single damn one. I'm trying not to let it distract me too much and just focus on the present, ya know? No time like the present and all that shit. It's better than thinking circles around my head.

All that matters is this--Helen's right. Chipmunk couldn't have asked for anyone better. Pen Drop would literally offer up an arm and a leg for her, maybe even more than that. She loves Chipmunk and would likely venture to hell and back if it came down to it. She's a mousy wallflower, but she has balls of steel dammit. I admire that. Hell, it's probably why I tolerate her now. She's not all bad. She keeps up with my rude bullshit, which is pretty big plus in my book. I know I'm a fucking bitch and a handful, I'm not stupid. So...it's nice to have people in my life who understand, ya know?

Without thinking, my gaze lands on Pen Drop, my mind still running a mile a minute in every direction imaginable. Damn scrawny dork. She's blushing so damn hard right now and tripping over herself from what Helen said. "Th-th-thank you, Helen, but that--that's a little o-over the top," she stutters. She reaches up to tug her beanie, only to finally realize she's not wearing it and her hand drops in embarrassment. I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Learn to face reality, Pen Drop." I give Helen another squeeze around the shoulder. "Chipmunk basically hit the jackpot with your ass, even if you are annoying as hell." My head tilts a bit, grinning at the mixture of flattery and confusion infecting Pen Drop's features. Fucking dork. Pretty cute, but in a begrudging kinda way, ya know? Wanting to make her squirm even more, I shrug and add, "I mean, I know I did."

Pen Drop's eyes widen like saucer plates, her lips parting to say something but only uttering silence.

...Aaaaaand that's when I realize my fuck up. Fucking shit, Demi! Really??

I scratch the back of my head, trying to ignore the heat flooding my face. "A-anyways, uh, you serious? We're really you're first good friends? That's...I mean, the feeling's mutual, for both of you." I know I'm addressing Helen and Pen Drop, but I can't afford to look at Twiglet right now, not after that colossal fuck up. My smile turns a tad bitter. "Not like that's hard to believe though, I'm not exactly the easiest bitch to be around."

"Cookie, don't talk like that," Pen Drop mutters, a frown pinching her features. I just shrug in response. What? It's true, isn't it? I fucking suck as a human being; it's a blessing that I managed to stumble across normal folks that can handle my crazy ass.

Tegan
I wait and hear Quinn moving around in the room behind the door. I bite my lip nervous that she isn’t going to answer and open...but she does. I was glad that my plan for getting her to open the door seemed to be working.

Click...even though it was only a crack I smile wide happy and wanted to ask her a hundred questions about what was going on. My smile immidietly fades when I see her face...
She doesn’t say anything but it looks like she was crying.
“Quinn....ya alright?” I asked her gently very concerned. I wanted to give her a hug. I understood that she might not want to talk about what was going on but now I was getting very concerned as I had no idea what happened. I reach over to open the door more and come inside even though I didn’t know if she would let me.

(Yeah..Warren is kinda creepy...)(Oh..wow....i recognized most of those names- besides Henry Lee Lucas)
Rina
(Yes i love it haha)(i wonder how he is going to feel when he finds out Rina was used for experiments)

"Well the nickname I came up for you when I am mad would be Mr. Nosy liar." I say jokingly to him with a grin," but ill see if I come up with anything and will just stick with Andre."
He apologizes for asking so many questions and I bite my lip looking down. I didn't want to tell him what had happened. It wasn't safe to tell anything. Although I honestly was warming up to him as he seemed like a nice guy.
Would I even want to tell when we are free, I think looking down.
"Oh...so there's someone with magnetic power..alright." I say wondering if she would be of some help," Why? Oh no reason."
I do my best to not eat the food on the spot and it turned out there was bacon..he was right.
"Yes that is him." I say with a nod, I agree to let him help me bring up some food. It would be better to have some one else there anyways so it wouldn't be so awkward.
"Yes Damon is his name. Damon Valentine." I say with a nod.

(Also speaking of Warren does Damon really have a tracker or was Warren messing with him?)

(It's okay Alex I understand. I constantly question myself as to why I write him XD)(Henry Lee lucas is a little more unknown than those two, but there are a few similarities there, not so much the method in which they killed nor their psychology, but more of the people involved)

Jennifer

"Our squad was decently close." I nod slowly, rubbing my arm as I admit "I was like the little sister of the group. I'd tease the boys of the squad, they teased me, even found a way to mess with me on the job." I chuckle softly as I recall the time they moved me from the barracks and wrapped me up in a sleeping bag near the boys barracks. Twas embarrassing, considering the pajamas they allowed me to wear. I curse those damned batman shorts. "If my parent's saw me they wouldn't mind. We literally lived in the middle of nowhere for years." I laugh softly, brushing my hair back that was still stubbornly flocking back into my face. "You should have seen my brother Jonah after we went for a hike. I swear that dirt was attracted to him like moths to a lamp. Even as an adult..." I sigh as memories of Jonah flood through me and I force myself to shake the image of his face out of my head.

"You know for a man who has no abilities, he seems much more powerful and energized than any of us here." I chuckle softly, knowing very well if I offer myself too many times he will throw me back into my room and force me to stay. "I don't know how the power man is running..." I nod at her suggestion and I smile thinly "Alright I am going to go help with him..." I skid into the kitchen, noticing that Scott was filling out two final plates, his eyes bleary, but still, a smile was upon his face. "Ah hello Jennifer, could you take one of these for me? I am thinking that I will clean up in here and there should be enough food..." I nod, taking the plate from him and rushing out to the table, sliding it on. I smile over at Itzlie. "Scott is good in there. I think we should take over cleaning though and let him take a quick rest. He really looks pale..."

Winnifred

"Im impressed too. The poor man seems to be doing all this on very low energy." I comment, my head tilting as I glance around at all the delectable food. I surely have to give Scott gifts for all this when the time comes. I will have to give him sweets, I think I recall him enjoying butterscotches. That is easy enough. "Look, I should be able to use my abilities without having to blow things up. I feel like this is having superpowers 101. The first thing you should be able to do, not blow everything to oblivion."

"I haven't been pushing myself too much." I reassure him, reaching over to pick up a piece of bacon from one of the tables, chomping down onto it with a large smile. "I make sure someone is always with me as I work so I don't end up doing that exact thing. I have been efficient, I can promise you that." I take another bite and I blink as I notice how normal everything appears to be since the last week. The kidnappers, at least one, has been integrated into the house, Scott managed to clean up most of the damage and even replaced a few of the vases that were destroyed, and something I had not thought about since this moment was that there was no other attempt on the house. Nothing at all. In fact, it was a little too quiet for this house, and while there were most certainly kids bustling about, something felt off. Almost...empty. I couldn't quite describe it but it sent shivers up my spine.

Jack

(He's afraid of becoming dependent on a singular person. That'll be fun, also I find it hilarious that Alexander's happiest moments at the house have been "I made a lifelong friend" and "my favorite ship has sailed.")

"You know...speaking of older people who might recall, some of the nuns at the convent were active during the sixties. Not many, but they may know what this house was like. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them volunteered to help out. From what I do know about this place, it seemed to be hidden as some sort of mental institution, but I don't know if that is speculation or truth." A sudden thought bobs in my head and I grin, leaning back as I place the back of my head into the rested palms of my hands. "You know, we could always head down there at some point and say that the house is in need, and that what we need is for there to be answers. You can never hear no from a sweet little convent lady who wants her adopted son to be safe at this forsaken home. My guess is that someone knows something."

"Oh of course I gave him a nickname. He. Is. Chiseled. That jawline. Mmm he can throw me down a flight of stairs any day..." I snap out of it as I recover a mental kick from Jackie and I roll my eyes. I shush her quietly and direct my attention to the door where Scott had huddled inside. "Look, we will find something eventually. Maybe it will be important, maybe it won't. But there is no way records from fifty years ago would be completely destroyed. It was the sixties for goodness sake, it's not as if this house was from the 1890's." I blink now, wondering how Scott does it.

"Heh. I think his body has adapted not to sleep at this point. He's been so busy the last few days..." A thought crosses my mind and I realize I could probably give him energy to keep him on his feet. I store this away in my portfolio of good deeds, which is filled with Jacqueline's accomplishments and my accidental acts of kindness.

(Glad you like it. Had a little trouble with Damons hair to be honest )
Alexander
(Oh i see makes sence)(Hahah YES ALEXANDER HAS HIS PRIORITY STRAIGHT XD)
I looked at him impressed by the idea.
"That...is actually a pretty good idea. If you can get them to agree I am sure." I say" Even if they don't remember what the house was like I am sure if you can convince them to come they would be able to help gather information."
"I mean would you get in trouble though?" I then asked him. He then mentioned Itzlie brother and how he could 'throw him down stairs anyday' and I sighed
"I worry about you sometimes man.." I say shaking my head as it seems those people where crazy and Jack had decided to give the guy who tried to kill him a nickname.
"Oh yeah I agree that there has to be something about about this house." I then said then nod agreeing with him again on what Jack said about Scott.
"Yeah he must be exhausted." I say then sees Itzlie and the other woman Jennifer go to help him," I am not surprised that he is busy after what happened."

Cyrus

I chuckle softly as she informs of me of how wonderful I am, telling me I am an awesome cuddler, kisser, all these things that bring a blush to my visage. I grin and plant kisses at her cheek, lowering down to her jaw as she informs me that she is not willing to try today. However once she loops her arms around me I give up my attempt to be romantic. I lie down on her slightly, nuzzling my head into her shoulder as I contently cuddle into her form. However she begins to tease me about how I am falling asleep on her, and before I know it, she rolls off the bed.

I blink down at her in concern as she raises a hand over the edge of the bed. "How can my clumsiness be rubbing off on you if you didn't fall of the bed and I didn't see it?" I comment to her with a grin, grogginess settling into my muscles as I force myself off the bed. I walk around the bed to see Nellie down on the ground, and I smile at her sweetly. She is truly adorable with her bedhead hair, her tired eyes, her ever cute smile present along her face..

Focus Cyrus. Focus.

"Back to bed." I tell her softly as I lift her into my arms bridal style lying her back down and snuggling her contently. I wrap my arms around her and rest my head on hers. "You know...we really don't need to get up today. Mornings sound like a dumb idea anyway...why wake up when we can cuddle..."

Helen

"Oh Logan truly does remind me a lot of Demi. Protective, strong, odd sense of humor and an interesting vocabulary." I chuckle softly under my breath. I think that is one of the reasons I was able to connect with her after the initial fright. She truly just reminded me of Logan, and, to be frankly honest, Penny sort of reminded me of Charles. Which made my friend choices suddenly make a lot more sense based of personality and my own lacking of social skills.

Red overtakes my features as Demi admits she wouldn't give me up for the world, and Penny wraps me in one of her sweet, healing hugs. A dreamy smile pulls at my lips as I can confirm these two truly do love me, and it sends me into a place of eternal joy and bliss. They love me. They...wouldn't give me up for anything in the world. I never truly knew this feeling would be so overwhelming, yet so soft and gentle at the same time.

"Penny my love it is not over the top. I could not have asked for anyone better than you and you know that. You are the sweetest, gentlest soul that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. You remember when we first met? You assisted me as I was going to have an anxiety attack, most other people would have freaked out or simply walked away. You guided me through it, ever step of the way. You were there when I needed you, and you continue to provide that service to me. It is a sweet and lovely gift to have you as my friend." Shock does seem to flood my system as Demi squeezes me to her, but there is a smile waiting at the corners of my mouth to unfold. She begins to speak about how she isn't the easiest person to be around and I grumble and squeeze her around her waist

"Blasphemy! You are a wonderful person that I enjoy very much. And if you disagree, I will fight you on it. I know you can beat me, but I know that's a popular phrase nowadays, so please don't take it seriously." I rest my head at her shoulder, glancing up at her innocently.
 
(Alex for the tracker piece that'll become a little more clear later on. Warren's screwing with him but Damon's on to something)

Andre

(Never realized I wanted a protective Andre until now XD)

"Don't worry about the nicknames, Rina. I have been called much worse, in a lot less time." I chuckle as I brush my hair back absentmindedly, inspecting her movements as if to get a better analyzation upon her. She seems to be thinking, which does not seem uncommon with this child. I decide not to break her away from those ponders, for I recall quite vividly what it is like to be ripped away from such a stretch of thoughts. It hurts. It causes confusion and agitation. She seems to have had enough of such emotions anyway.

"No reason huh? You looking for someone in particular?" I pick up a few muffins just in case, as well as sticking a piece of bacon in my mouth to hold momentarily. I glance at her with a raised eyebrow as she claims the name of her friend. Damon Valentine...why the hell does that name sound so familiar? I can't place it but...I feel like I have seen the name before. But that can't be, was it when I went to the library with Violet to research the house? No that wouldn't make sense. He couldn't have been around in the sixties and there didn't seem to be a correlation between any Valentines and the Reids.

And yet.. "Why does that name sound so familiar?" I ask as I take a chunk out of the piece of bacon. I swallow before continuing "Your friend is your age yes?" I wouldn't have known anyone that age. There were paper boys but there was only one or two, and I knew their names. Damon Valentine...

It seems...It seems almost infamous. I would need to look into his name after I was done here with Rina. Maybe if I saw his face I would know what my brain is picking at.

(.....I am confused but alright seems like you got a plan haha)
Rina
(Yes...I am loving protective Andre)

He laughed and I smiled glad he didn't seem to take the joke seriously. I am lost in my thoughts...he had seemed to be asking alot of questions I cannot or at least do not want to answer. He then asked about what reason I would want to find someone who has electric powers.
"Oh...well. It's a long story." I say with a sigh not wanting to go into it. I looked at him and noticed how he seemed to be surprised by Damon's name.
Why though?, I think as I grabbed sneak a bit of bacon as well. I also noticed he got another muffin..was it for the girl he talked about before?
"Why does the name sound familiar?" He asked quietly talking to himself and i tilted my head.
"Your friend is your age yet?" He asked me and I nod my head
" Yes he is..." I then say wondering why he would be asking that question. I then begin to lead us to Damon's room after we got all the food although I understood that he might want to stop by the girl he was talking about before.
"Thanks for helping me." I say with a smile. I guess I had pegged him wrong when I first met him. He seemed to be nice and was only worried about us. As we left where the food was I started feeling nervous about seeing Damon.
Calm down..he's just Damon. We are friends, I think to myself

(Hair is hard. I have been trying to get better at male hair and daaaang it can be hard XD)

Jack

(God dang it Alexander is one of us)

"It is very possible they may know of people related to the house as well. If they were willing to assist with this house because of the supposed mental illness that this house was supposed to cater..." I frown. I had only heard that from a few sources, but it would make sense. The convent was made for those sisters to be able to access town easily and help where they could. If anyone knew about this place, only a few came to mind. Only one I was sure could remember.

"Eh, I won't get in trouble, and hey I don't have anything wrong with me brother." I tease him, grinning vibrantly. "I am just being very honest. He's got that...je ne sais...however that phrase ends." I shake my head before it tilts to the side. "Also, I would not honestly worry about Scott too much. As kind as that man is, he also knows how to organize his time. If he runs out of energy, he will probably do it close to a bed or making sure that someone can take over.

I notice Jennifer come out from the kitchen and begin to set up the last plates of food, then would clean up the trays that were empty. "You know for a kidnapper, she works efficiently. I wonder if she is...I don't know, like a sleeper. Like she will just pop out of it one day and go berserk." I swallow at the idea. I pray that is not the case.

(Lol Yeah it is honestly very hard to do the hair I don’t don’t understand why! Lol It’s not like it’s longer or anything. I have at least gotten better with actually making guys not look like girls-use to have that problem )

Alexander
(One of use..one of us!)
( I can imagine if he was real and we just circled around him Alexander would be like “dear god I regret this”lol)

“I see..that could be very helpful. I was able to find out some stuff about the house but not much before I was busted by my uncle.” I say and sighed slightly annoyed. I hoped he wouldn’t get in trouble with them if he went with the plan to lie to them.
“ Yeah to be honest...after finding out what this house was before..it kinda give me more of the creeps than before.” I then admit looking over at Jack but quietly so Scott wouldn’t hear. No offense to Scott to anything but some things about this place just rubbed me the wrong way.
“Or is that just me?” I asked him.

“Also I really hope in the future that you pick out someone better then a crazy person who threw you down the stairs. I also been curious since him and Itzlie are twins does that mean you think Itzlie is attractive as well?” I asked curious and laughed. Although I was seriously worried about Jacks judge of character.
“Alright if you say so..” I then say as he talked about not worrying about Scott to much. He was probably right Scott would probably be fine
I looked over at Jennifer with him and frowns at what he says
“Well..um all I can say is I hope you are wrong about that.” I say although that thought had crossed my mind I was also worried about the people that might come back to get her
 
Sakamoto
"Yeah" I say agreeing with her how Scott did seem very low on energy. I see Itzlie and Jennifer going over to help him.
Well that's nice, I think glad that he seemed to be getting help.
"He seems to be getting help but from what i've seen of Scott he seems to be the type to take everything on hims self." I comment serious getting some food, although I hoped I was wrong," I am honestly not sure how I feel about the people who tried to kidnap us just walking around free now."
I wasn't sure how I would face Itzlie twin brother of I seen him again..he had kinda scared me and wasn't sure if I trusted either of them. I then looked over at Winnie
"Am I being to paranoid?"I asked seriously as I tilting my head. I mean everyone seemed to be be doing fine and everything was slowly going back to normal. I wondered if it was just me that found this weird that the cops hadn't came, we haven't found out anything about the people who tried to attack us, or anything.
"Oh that's good. Seems like the practice has been paying off." I say with a smile as I go back to my cheerful self," glad you seem to be feeling better and that you aren't pushing yourself to hard."
She then seems to space out being very quiet. I look at her...
"Um..Winnie, you alright?" I asked her wondering what she was thinking about


Tegan
I wait and hear Quinn moving around in the room behind the door. I bite my lip nervous that she isn’t going to answer and open...but she does. I was glad that my plan for getting her to open the door seemed to be working.

Click...even though it was only a crack I smile wide happy and wanted to ask her a hundred questions about what was going on. My smile immidietly fades when I see her face...
She doesn’t say anything but it looks like she was crying.
“Quinn....ya alright?” I asked her gently very concerned. I wanted to give her a hug. I understood that she might not want to talk about what was going on but now I was getting very concerned as I had no idea what happened. I reach over to open the door more and come inside even though I didn’t know if she would let me.

Itzlie
I listen to her and kinda felt bad..it seemed like she had just been taken from a pretty good life. I admired how she seemed to be so optamistic about this....
"I see it does seem like you all were close." I say and laughed. She then mentioned her brother an seems to freeze for a second before going back to her usual self. I gently put my hand on her shoulder
"Don't worry you will see him again soon." I say to her. I had promised to her with her family and I am sure they had been waiting for her. I could understand her pain of missing someone after years of wondering where they were.
The conversation then shifts back to Scott and I laugh at her joke then shrug
"I honestly have no idea what he is running on...maybe just pure coffee and caffeine" I the say. I watched as Jennifer slides into the kitchen seeing to come right back out after having a quick talk with Scott.
"Scott is good in there. I think we should take over cleaning though and let him take a quick rest. He really looks pale..." She says and I nod
"Alright got it." I then say tying up my pink hair. I peek my head into the kitchen. I start going around cleaning some of the mess and picking up dishes some kids left behind to go wash helping as best as I can. As I bring some dishes to clean into the kitchen I look over at Scott
"We have this...you really should rest." I say to him as I noticed he really did look pail.

Quinn Kimberly

My eyes threaten to bug out of my skull when I feel Tegan try to push the door and step inside. I put my weight against it, just enough to keep her from taking one step too far. "N-no!" I rush out in near panic.

Christ. Is the anxiety and fear welling up within me obvious? Of course it is--what kind of dumb question is that, Quinn? You're crying! Bottom lip trembling, I suck in a sharp breath and hold up a hand in front of her."You...you can't come in, Tegan. I'm sorry, it's just..." Words fail me for a long moment. The silence is stifling, suffocating, nearly drowning me on the deep end as the realization that I'm hurting my only friend sinks in. I...I'm screwed no matter what I do, aren't I?

God, I really am.

"I'm d-doing this to keep you safe," I mutter lowly. I push on the door a little more, lessening the gap. It physically hurts to push Tegan away like this. I hate this so freaking much! My eyes are burning and the tears have started rolling against my accord. A stubborn sniffle escapes me. "Please...You can't be near me."

Penelope Hollows

The way Demi's blush burns like a giant red lobster is one of the most adorable and funniest things I'll ever see. It's always nice to see her like that, flustered and not knowing how to take a compliment without tripping over her words or retreating into her turtle shell. It...brings more clarity to the picture I have of her--of the real her.

And Helen's right; Demi is indeed dorky and protective like this Logan brother of hers. I can still recall that one time the bone bender had pretended not to care when I had moved my arm at an awkward angle and visibly winced. However, the absolute fret in her deep chocolate eyes screamed at me, scanning me up and down for any signs of distress. It had taken an hour (at the bare minimum) for that concern to leave her or, at the least, climb down from frantic heights. I could hold that little moment over her head and tease her about it...but I don't. Demi doesn't deserve that much torment.

"Jeez..." I mumble while trying to hide in my beanie...then remembering once again that I'm not wearing it. Gosh, what am I supposed to hide my blush with now? Feeling a little desperate and very embarrassed, I tuck my face behind the collar of my overshized t-shirt, only leaving the upper half of my flushed face exposed. I don't have to explain how hard Demi's trying not to laugh at me.

Jerk.

"I-I remember that," I stutter as the memory comes back to me. It wasn't even a long time ago and yet it feels like years since that fateful day had transpired. Opening day at Reid's Mansion. The start of something wonderful and terrifying and unknown and amazing. I...At that time, I wasn't quite sure what it was about Helen that first caught my eye. I had seen her before she panicked, drawn to her just the tiniest bit but far too afraid to approach. Of course...n-now I know why I had felt that way. However, whether I had crushed on her or not, it wouldn't have changed my interactions. Wouldn't have swayed me from helping her. From promising to be her safe place in this new place. I sympathized with her.

"Th-there was no way I c-could've walked away or ignored you, Helen. N-never. I mean...I u-understood what you were g-going through, you know? And, I don't know how to describe it, but..." My head subconsciously tilts in thought and mini-epiphany. "I just knew...when we f-first talked that we'd be really good friends. We just...c-clicked, I guess. It's hard to put into words." I smiled gently at her. "I suppose we're both beyond lucky t-to have found one another."

I nod in agreement. That really is blasphemy. I wish Demi didn't beat herself down like that so much. However, she just shrugs in response while squeezing Helen again, eyes straying away from us. She tries to hide the movement by scratching at her cheek, but I'm slowly learning all of her moves and ticks and signals...I-is that normal? Maybe I'm a tad too tentative when it comes to her...but I can't help it.

"Oh please," Demi huffs with a crooked smirk. Darn that signature look of hers--why is it always so cute? I-it's not fair, honestly. "Everyone knows that you'd always beat my ass in a fight, Chipmunk. Especially when you play dirty and use looks like that on me. It's bullshit." She chuckles before waving off Helen's comment."And man, fuck trying to keep up with the youngsters. They say some crazy shit these days."

"My gosh you really are an old man..." I whisper under my breath.

Falling into routine, Demi glares at me. Hard. "Fight me, Twiglet!"

I gasp and clasp my hands together, the movement uncovering my face and revealing a smile. "You did it. Maybe you're not so old after all."

Demi gives me the middle finger. I pout heavily.

"How rude."

"You love it and love me, so quit fucking whining about it," Demi counters confidently. I...don't have an immediate reply to that. Plus, the sudden cotton invading my windpipe doesn't help. I just clamp my mouth shut and clear my throat awkwardly. Darn it, Demi! Why does she have to casually say things like that? That's just cruel and unusual punishment. Seemingly happy with her victory, Demi continues, "So...anybody hungry? Or am I the only one here with the metabolism of a fucking NFL linebacker?"

(My actual problem is making short haired girls looking like boys XD. It is a struggle. Just keep at it and it'll get better over time.)

Jack

(Jackie will be there to protect him. Maybe)

"Ah. It is a good thing I never had an uncle it seems. Get in the way of all my plans." I muse as I wave my hand absentmindedly, before bringing it back to brush the hair out of my eyes. "Alex honey, this house has always been creepy, even before I knew this was a fake occupation. I highly doubt any of this was actually an insane asylum. That was probably just an excuse for the abnormals, which make senses, considering the sixties were crazy. Hell, today is still crazy. I am surprised that this house hasn't been gaining more bad attention." I stroke my chin as if I had facial hair. Curse my prepubescent lack of hair.

I grumble lightly before grinning and shaking my head. "Okay, okay, Itzlie is very pretty. But I dunno man, she seems too...mature. I guess? I dunno, I like mature women, but when it comes to Carrie, Itzlie, and crazy kidnapper lady, I feel that i's almost to an extreme. I suppose." I shrug. "Speaking of kidnapper lady, I am sure that the house will protect her just fine. If they do come back to get her they have to go through at least a dozen, crazy power wielding kids. That's not going to be an easy feat, considering three kidnappers couldn't even grab a single kid from the house. We got this." I lean my head back as I think about the possibility of all three of them getting snatched again. The idea wrestles up sadness within my heart that I did not realize was there. That was like returning to the convent after weeks of freedom. Except the people i was going back to loved me, so I can't imagine what it was like to be in captivity. It is a horrible idea. I shake it from my head.

"Er, I am sure Scott has precautions if that happens. Keeping them in the house...I am not sure if that's for the best. But...Jennifer seems to be working hard. Hell, she's not even an assistant and she acts like one. That's a miracle I guess, considering the damage she caused."

Tegan
After opening the door she quickly tried to shut me out again. I am surprised and worried about her. I almost dropped the food but didn't
"N-no! You...you can't come in, Tegan. I'm sorry, it's just..." She says stopping me.
"Why...?" I asked her .Usually I would just wait for when someone is ready to tell me but I didn't want to lose a friend and be completely shut out.
"I'm d-doing this to keep you safe. Please you can't be near me." She then says
"Why." I asked again sad but gentle figuring if she was going to shut me out I deserved some answers," I am worried about you."
I didn't understand anything of what was going on
"How is staying away from my best friend suppose to protect me." I then say looking at her trying to keep the door cracked open so she wouldn't completely shut me out of the room. I could tell she was also about to cry more and I frowned. I then sighed and put the food on the ground inside her room
"At least eat the room." I then say to her as I wasn't sure how long it had been since she had eaten.

(I see haha the struggle is very real XD)
Alexander
(haha )
I laughed at his joke. I am sure that my uncle meant well. He then confirms my feeling about the house being freaky
"Alright then thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy' I say with a smirk as he pretends to stroke his "facial hair".
After grumbling he then admits how he finds Itzlie pretty but not his type. That Carrie, Itzlie, and the crazy kidnapper seemed like an extreme
"Alright then." I say as he finished talking about the type he liked," I get it. So they aren't really your type got it."
I found it kinda amusing that he admitted that but was fine with crazy guy that threw him down the stairs.
"Still can't believe that he was Itzlie's twin brother." I then comment jokingly," it does seem like apart of some soap opera T.V Special."
"Yeah I am sure you are right about the house. Still don't like the idea of the people coming back thought." I say thinking," Still can't imagine what they have gone through. The only one that seems fine is Jennifer..I believe her name is."
"Um..yeah I am sure they have it under control...hopefully." I say with a sigh at least trying to be optimistic. I did feel bad for them but it was kinda questionable how alright they were around us. I shake the thought away as there was still the question about who sent them that we were trying to find out. We still had that plan with finding out about that guy Warren Hopefully the place wouldn't be a mess when we come back.

Winnifred

"He would most certainly take this all on himself. He's a good man. But I don't think he realizes how much this can hurt him. Considering...well, the stress of the last week. It can really damage him, so I pray he is sleeping. That he, well, can handle himself." I roll my shoulders back and consider what I would have done in this case. If I had a group of all these children...I would bust my behind to make sure that each and everyone of them felt safe. But... the kidnappers... Why let them loose? It did not make sense to me. Jennifer was a kind soul. It appeared. "Not paranoid. Wise. Don't trust anyone Saka. Unless it's me." I look back at him to wink, but I realize the festering that begins to plague my stomach. Energy briefly flickers at my fingers and I quickly work to smoother it out.

"Oh, you are right!" I grin suddenly and wave my hand to summon some light blue energy. I let it dance with my fingers, very cautious as to not send it into anything else. "It has really helped a bunch. And yes, I am quite alright dear. I am just thinking. Sometimes too hard." I rub the back of my head once the energy fades. I shrug. "It happens believe it or not."

Jennifer

"I will see him one day. I just pray it's...soon." I swallow but send a smile her way. I missed Jonah. Abby. Hanna. Evan...Damn it...Evan...he'd be...eleven? I missed him turning ten. I missed Hanna's entrance into teenage hood. Abby has to be leaving high school. Is Jonah married? Kids? Did mama decide to have another child? It wouldn't surprise me. She loved children. I...I always thought she'd have one. She told me she wanted as many as possible before it was too late. But when Evan came around, mother grew tired. It made sense. She had five kids. Her system became weaker. She couldn't get pregnant again. Perhaps...perhaps two years could have changed that. My features soften at the thought and now more than ever I wanted to hug Jonah. To hug Evan and swing him around. To carry Abigail up the stairs when she's grouchy. To dance and lift Hanna off the floor. I swallow the lump forming in my throat. I can't show weakness like this right now, I just needed to help Scott.

"That's how I survived high school." I mumble as I make my way back in to help clean. Scott peeked up at us as we take the dishes from him to clean. His eyes widened.

"I couldn't possibly ask you two to do that..."

"We are assistants, no?" I question as he shakes his head, brushing back stray hair from his face.

"One of you is. The other is a guest. Besides...You two have already done so much and I..." Before he gets another word out, I gently place my hands on his shoulders and slowly push him out.

"Bed. Now." I point out of the dining hall as he stares at me with glazed eyes.

"Private."

"Sarge." We glance into each other's eyes as I realize his state of his position, and I realize mine. He sighed.

"Fine. Fifteen minutes."

"Two hours."

"One."

"Deal." I stick my hand out to him for him to shake, his eyes drooping as he shakes it.

"Thank you Jenny." Without another word, he steps out and trudges down the hall.
 
Sakamoto

"I wonder if he feels bad for what happened." I then comment thinking..as Scott wasn't here till everything was over,"Anyways getting some sleep is important I do hope he doesn't hurt himself."
"Everything seems to be calming down and going back to normal." I then say

"It had been a week and he has seemed to be going no stop." I then say.
She then assures me that I am not being paranoid and I laughed a little at her joke of not trusting anyone else.
"Alright well glad I'm not the only one." I say wondering what Scott could be thinking just letting them around us and free. It was still confusing about what happened and even felt bad for them.
I then watched her as she starts using her powers playing with this little cal of energy she had made.
"It does seem like you have gotten better control."I then comment impressed, it definitely was an improvement from the beginning where she was exploding everything every-time she used her powers. She seems fine. I then noticed how Scott seemed to be kicked out of the kitchen, seeming very tired I wondered if he was finally going to get some rest. I think about practicing after this.

Itzlie

I smile trying to give her some positive comfort. I didn't want to ask more as I knew she had tried to call them but it wasn't my place to ask these type of questions. It seemed like a very hard topic for her to talk about and I noticed she seemed to get quiet for a little bit probably thinking about her family she had missed a lot of things with her family.

"Hopefully we both will be able to repair some relationships." I say to her positively although i honestly wasn't sure about my brother. The topic quickly changes when we take over the dishes for Scott. I just let Jennifer handle it as I began to clean. Scott reluctantly agree and as he left I laughed a little. He was very reluctant to leave and I surprised that she had actually got him to agree to sleep for a little bit.

"Well you handled that pretty well." I then comment and clapped," he will probably be knocked out once his head hits a pillow."

"Anyways if he set an alarm I am going to turn it off." I then joke with a grin as I continue to clean the dishes. He really did need to sleep. She helped me and I looked at her.

"You know you really don't even had to help...it's not your fault your are here" I then say she wasn't even really an visitant. I wondered if she was throwing herself into these tasks to distract herself.

Helen

"It feels like that day was the beginning of something beautiful, after two years of thinking that I had encountered the beginning of the end." My brow furrows as I admit this and think back to the days before Demi, Penelope, Cyrus and Nellie. Those days seem so distant and insignificant, as if my life truly hadn't started until I befriended the four. Was that perhaps foolish to think? That these wonderful human beings, who I have only had the pleasure of knowing a few weeks, truly make me feel as if a new perspective had been added to my life? That...that my life was flipped one eighty as soon as I knew my love for these four beautiful individuals?

It seemed so strange, how one chance encounter made my life so much brighter. So warm and loving. I...I haven't felt afraid in a long time now, even with the nightmares, even knowing that the man who had attempted to hurt me still lived in the house. I felt...strong. More confident. Aware of the silliness of my own self doubt. It...it felt as if a new part of me had been hidden for so long.

"I was beyond lucky to find you." I tell her with a genuine smile, pressing my cheek against the palm of my hand. "You and Demi. Demi...realistically I could never beat you in a fight." I poke her side teasingly, my cheeks puffing out into a pout. "I am too small to overpower you. No matter how cute I can make myself seem." My tongue slowly peeks out from behind my lips, curling up before popping into an ugly, pink pad of tissue. I retreat it quickly before grinning. "I dare you to try and take me down in a cuddle contest though. I would be able to survive that. The actual fight...uh, no thanks." My features soften as the two begin to tease each other and despite myself, a laugh escapes me.

Oh just kiss already. I know you want to ~

"I am a tad hungry. We should probably go invite the love doves to breakfast too. My guess is they haven't moved from their cuddles..." I attempted to go to their room for reassurance one day and I noticed how snuggly they had become, but that didn't stop Cyrus from throwing me over his shoulder and plopping me in the middle. "It's almost like they are immobile whenever they get into that position. You've got to pry them away from each other."

I hop up from the bed and stretch out my back. "Lets roll, you old grumps."

Jack

(Oh Alexander anything that breathes is Jack's type, he just gets frightened easily)

"Honey you are crazy in every way but your common sense." I flick my hand at him before shrugging "Er...even when it comes to doing stupidly dangerous research. But then again, I am with you a lot of the time during that, so you at least made one smart move when it came to that. Don't ever, ever, ever do stupid shit alone. You ever want to do something dumb, call me first. Jackie or I will be there to assist." I grin at him teasingly as I finish my little ramble, puffing out my lips in thought.

"Oh...Alex love...there is no such thing as a type for me. Everyone is beautiful in their own way...sometimes people just scare me and I realize, meh, I could go without." I brush back my hair as I realize he has mentioned how crazy the entire situation is and I nod my agreement. "With the research we did though...it makes sense. He ran away from home, got grabbed, brainwashed, and then was forced to do this. Jennifer, who we also found out about, had the same thing happen to her. But...didn't her fiancé mention that she ran off with a lover?" My eyes narrow in thought "I have a feeling that if Jennifer did run off with a lover, it wasn't happily ever after. Or worse off, her fiancé knew about what happened to her...in that case..." My mouth goes dry. I...I suddenly feel sick as realization floods into me. "I...I think she was sold. Then I think her fiancé married the woman he had been cheating on with. But...why not just break up with her...Why...why not just..."

How much money would that have roped him? Hundreds? Thousands? how much money do people go for? I swallow the nausea down my throat and return the smile to my face. "That might not even be the case. I...I pray its not. I...I just hope that they all get to her level of functionality. I think that is how she is handling the stress..."

Repost
(.....I am confused about the device but alright seems like you got a plan haha)
Rina
(Yes...I am loving protective Andre)

He laughed and I smiled glad he didn't seem to take the joke seriously. I am lost in my thoughts...he had seemed to be asking alot of questions I cannot or at least do not want to answer. He then asked about what reason I would want to find someone who has electric powers.
"Oh...well. It's a long story." I say with a sigh not wanting to go into it. I looked at him and noticed how he seemed to be surprised by Damon's name.
Why though?, I think as I grabbed sneak a bit of bacon as well. I also noticed he got another muffin..was it for the girl he talked about before?
"Why does the name sound familiar?" He asked quietly talking to himself and i tilted my head.
"Your friend is your age yet?" He asked me and I nod my head
" Yes he is..." I then say wondering why he would be asking that question. I then begin to lead us to Damon's room after we got all the food although I understood that he might want to stop by the girl he was talking about before.
"Thanks for helping me." I say with a smile. I guess I had pegged him wrong when I first met him. He seemed to be nice and was only worried about us. As we left where the food was I started feeling nervous about seeing Damon.
Calm down..he's just Damon. We are friends, I think to myself

Alexander
(Omg that's hilarious XD)

"Of course you will be the first person to I'll call when I want to do something stupid again." I say grinning back. Jackie was my best friend and my now partner in crime. We had already been through alot together.

He then says how everyone is special and beautiful in there own way.
"Alright then if you say so.." I then say and laughed again. I don't think I would ever understand his standards but oh well. He then changes the subject back to how crazy everything was..he then talked about Jennifer coming up with what might have happened to her. I hate to say it but it did make alot of sense.
"Well...we don't know anything for sure right now although it does seem like a possibility." I say. A young child runaway..i could understand them just scooping him up but it would take alot more to have someone like Jennifer to be taken.
"Anyways we aren't sure yet" I then say with a sigh every though after what he said I was convinced that might be the case. If our planned worked and that Warren guy was tied to these disappearances I am sure we would be able to find out more. We couldn't just go pointing accusations at Jennifer's Ex- fiance.
"Although I am not sure what kind of guy would do that to someone." I then say agreeing with Jack about how messed up this whole thing was especially if what he said was true then that guy must be a huge jerk I would like to punch in the face. I try not to think about this whole thing to much as I didn't want to make myself angry and start to heat up.
"Anyways yeah..hopefully she doesn't snap. Lets not tell her about what we think happened." i then say with a sigh then moved my hair out of my face thinking.

(Whoops sorry I forgot about Andre)

Andre

"Ive got all day Rina." I claim lightly, a small smile pulling at my lips. "If that is something you'd be willing to speak to me about, don't feel afraid to speak." I suggest to her gently, tucking as many muffins into my jacket coat as humanly possible. My brow furrows as I count how many I managed to fit. One..two...did, did I get five into my coat? My face twists in surprise as I realize I can fit one more in and I decide to do so, specifically in case she wanted to share. I...I prayed she wanted to share. I don't know how I could allow my little flower to consume so much. Poor girl would probably get a stomach ache if I let her eat all the muffins she wanted.

"Okay...fourteen fifteen. So, are you two brother and sister? Friends?" I ask patiently as I make sure I can walk with all that I have. I slowly approach the door once she leads us to his room and I gently knock on the door, hearing a light, nearly squeaky voice come from inside. Something hits and I realize, while he does sound like a teenage boy, even from his voice I can tell that there is underdevelopment. But how would that happen? Unless his body's chemical affects were thrown so off balance...

The door creaks open and a pale, skinny boy emerges from inside. His big eyes examine me and a grin overtakes his features. "Ah hey Ri! How are you doing?" He pats his lips as a yawn escapes him and he eyes me suspiciously

"Whose tall guy over here?" He points to me with wisps of long, brown hair slowly infiltrating his glance. "You an assistant or..."

"Resident. Uh, my name is Andre, you are Damon yes?"

"Yes." He claims uncertainly as he stared down to his shoes, biting his lip uncertainly. "Would you two like to come in to eat?"

"I think I should let you two eat in peace. I do have a delivery to make." I claim, though I hesitate. Should I stay to make sure these two eat?
 
Quinn Kimberly

"How is staying away from my best friend suppose to protect me."

...Jesus. Tegan, why does she have to do that? The sentence is short, straight to the point, coming after me with full impact. It's not fair! God, why does this have to be so hard? I stand in the gap, facing her fully but still shaking like some...some stupid chihuahua or something. My grip on the door knob is desperate, but weak. I try to think of something to say. Something that'll drive her away, make her understand.

"I...I'm your best friend?"

That's not...That's not what I meant to say. What is up with me? Am I just doomed to be caught in a game of verbal cat and mouse with Tegan forever? To be trapped in a perpetual loop of hurting and pushing her away? What kind of sick punishment is this? I mean...I don't know. Maybe I deserve it for being a crappy...best friend. Best friend. Huh...I never thought I'd be one of those. Especially not for someone as kind as Tegan.

Hoping to avoid my slip up, I nod and reluctantly sit on the floor in my room. I try to cross my legs, but then remember that my ankle is tied up, tugging at the bed with a sudden jerk. I wipe at my eyes in annoyance before taking a piece of french toast and nibbling on it, watching Tegan like a hawk. She still can't come in. I can't come out. That's the way it's supposed to be.

"Tegan, I...I don't deserve to be your best friend. You know that, right? I'm just..." My teeth gnash in self-disgust. "I'm sick, Tegan. Really...really mentally sick. I don't want to put your through this conundrum."

Samuel Banks

Ready? Is she...Is my Care Bear truly prepared to unveil this? Whatever pain and grief my poor love has kept bottled up all this time, it must be something of heartbreaking measures. I desperately wish for her to alleviate at least a fraction of the weight from her shoulders and, at the same time, I fear to hear the worst. I fear to hear of something beyond my own heart's strength and capability to stare inhuman horrors in the face. Forget years of MMA and bloodshed and foamy-mouthed demons prancing about in skin suits, craving to leave my remains scattered about the ring. Forget all of it.

While in the face of my baby girl's suffering, my innards are stripped bare of the armor I spent years fabricating.

"Love, what're you talk..." An odd sensation flows through me. Not entirely unpleasant, but foreign. Suddenly, the pain ebbs away from my visage and my brow arches in shock--

Crack!

"Wh...w-what just..." I wheeze as the blood drains from my features and seemingly starts flowing down my Care Bear's nose. Did she just...? Oh God. Oh no. Oh dear. Oh my-- "C-Care Bear! Oh no, no, no," I stutter fearfully while sitting up, looking around frantically for a First Aid stocked away in my room somewhere. Surely, I must be in possession of one somewhere! "How did this happen? How could you..." I tested the bridge of my nose. Not a single ounce of pain. That's...impossible. Completely. Unless...My gut simultaneous sank and leaped into my throat as epiphany struck me.

Oh, Care Bear...

Whatever plans I have of tending to her screeches to a halt as she squeezes my hands, pressing a kiss to my forehead. What she says next...I just...I cannot bring myself to fathom the discord detonating within my being.

“My dreams include that of being tortured. Brutally. Last week's dream included me getting dragged and taken hostage. This weeks dream I was...Honestly if I told you most of the details from these dreams I don’t think you could look at me the same way. It included not being able to move while I was hit and forced into environmentally...horrible conditions.”

"T-tortured...You were tor..." I feel unbearably sick. And furious. Furious. A frigid wrath crawled up the walls of my insides like frost on a windowpane, clouds of my rage manifesting and condensing until I'm struggling to breathe. My baby girl. Oh God. P-please no. Not her. Please not her. Just the thought, the mental image...I fear I'll vomit. I fear I'll shutdown and fall into a pit of black. Only to awaken in what seems to be seconds later standing before a mutilated body. The body of whoever had the gall, the audacity to lay their damned hands upon my freckled angel. The fury only builds with every inhale, fanning the cold flames to new heights.

My Care Bear burrows into my chest, her breathing suddenly growing shallow and somewhat erratic. Stuffing my anger back into the void it crawled from, I press a warm, lingering kiss to the top of her head while shushing her gently. "Don't apologize, love. Please, never, ever, ever apologize for spilling your woes and heart to me...u-understand? No matter how painful or dark y-you believe them to be...always remember that I love you f-far too eternally to dismiss your agony." I wish to be her rock. Her pillar of emotional and spiritual support. I wish to be this unmovable mountain that raises her to the highest of peaks, allowing her to look over the beautiful expanse of the world and oversee the pain she doesn't deserve. And yet...even then, I'm shaking. Terribly.

So much wrath wanted to claw through my skin.

I want to know who it is. Who hurt my Carrie. Who hurt the other half of my heart.

Tenderly, I cup her cheeks, guiding her gaze to lock with my bloodshot one, and smile with trembling lips. My eyelids absolutely burned. "We need to c-clean you up, love. And please...please, never feel that you n-need to take away my pain like that. Watching you hurt is the only pain I cannot endure."

The cold blisters into a snow storm.

I will find that monster.

Demi Locklear

Gahhhh. Jesus, look at these two piles of mush being all sentimental and shit. It's so sickeningly cute and fluffy, man. How have I been surviving this all this time?

...Cuz dang Chipmunk made me mushy too. Who am I kidding? It's not like I'm fooling anyone, especially not myself. Damn you, woman! Nowadays, I wonder if I'm even able to do the shit I used to do. You know, the usual routine. Interrogating some douchebag lackies here and there, snapping a few bones, realigning them incorrectly, maybe even some everlasting arthritis to teach them a permanent lesson, burning down a warehouse--nothing too flashy. But I...For the first time in my life, I'm actually struggling to see myself doing that kind of shit.

Seriously, what's happening to me? Is this honestly for the better? Or...Or will I become too weak? Too soft and too much of a pansy to protect what I have now. Friends. People I actually give a fuck about. No, it's way more than that. I care about these nerds. I...Ah, crap. Shit. Fuckity dammit. I love them, don't I? I know I love Chipmunk. And...Christ. Fine, I can sort of lob Pen Drop into that category too. But still...what if one day they're in danger and I can't...

No. Fuck that. I refuse to think about this shit right now--

I jump when Chipmunk pokes me in the side. "COULD YOU FUCKINNNNNGnotdothat goddammit you know I'm ticklish," I trailed off into a hiss as red flooded my face. I already get enough of that shit from Pen drop; I don't need Cottonball crossing over into the dark side too. Either way, the agitation fades pretty quick as she launches into why she couldn't win a fight. The hell...Does she think I'm joking? I'm being serious--she could easily beat me in a fight because I wouldn't be able to bring myself to truly harm her. I mean, yeah, I could train her. Maybe some light, careful sparring. But that's about it. Any further and I would be fucking toast! In the end, I settle for chuckling and sticking my tongue out at her in response.

"You're on. You name the time and place, and I'll whoop your ass in a cuddling contest any day."

"I-I get to challenge the winner?" Pen Drop adds tentatively. I smile smugly at her.

"I don't know, Twiglet. You might not be able to hang with the big league..."

"I'll have you know th-that I'm a top-notch, q-quality cuddler," she defends while tilting her chin up. Heh. Fine. Alright. She has a point there--her cuddles are pretty damn nice...Err...N-not that I, like, remember how that feels. We only cuddled like once. Weeks ago. No way in hell I memorized that cuz it wouldn't leave my head alone to save my fucking life. Nope. Not at all. Clapping my hands together, I shoot up and follow Chipmunk's lead, more than ready to change the subject and get some food.

"Aaaaanyways, let's go get the lovebirds," ew, "And grab some grub." Pen Drop follows Chipmunk and I to Cyrus's room. It's kinda nasty that they're already basically living together like some old married couple or some shit. Yech! Get a room, you two!

...Wait.

I'm dumb. Forget I said that.

When Four Eyes's door came into view, I carelessly banged on it, loud as fuck without a care in the world. "Heyyyyyyy! Stop being all nasty mushy and come out of here!" At first, I didn't hear anything, but then that blood-bender's cheeky ass voice floated through the door.

"Not until you stop being mushy with Pen~!"

I choked on air. "What?! Wha--you! Gahhh! Fuck off!" I could hear Pen Drop giggling behind me, which made the heat flooding my face a million times worse. Fuck you, bloodbender!

(I am liking this new look)
(and haha it's fine)
Rina
He says he has all day and I laughed
“Maybe I’ll tell you....not right though.” I say smiling back. I was beginning to warm up to him. I wondered if this is what it would be like to have a big brother. I notice how be seems to be walking carefully....must be all the muffins he has.
He then asked how I knew Damon.
“He’s..um..a friend” I say looking down,”he’s my best friend”
He knocked on the door and I hear Damon moving around as he makes his to the door.
"Hi." I say and smiled back as he greeted me,"I brought breakfast."
Damon then looked over at Andre. Eventhought I had felt nervous about seeing Damon I had missed him and didn't feel nervous anymore for some reason.
"Whose tall guy over here?" He says suspiciously. Andre says he is not an assistant. I not to let Damon know that Andre is fine...eventhought i had thought of Andre as annoying in the beginning. I let them introduce themselves.
"I think I should let you two eat in peace. I do have a delivery to make."Andre says although he seems hesitant. I wonder if he was talking about seeing that girl he liked....
"Is that why you got all those muffins?" I asked Andre," Ok. Thanks for helping me."

As I'm walkin' on down da halls of da mansion, I see Sylvie up ahead. Look like she was eatin' on somethin', which made me realize dat I oughtta grab somethin' to snack on myself. I ate b'fore practicin, but dat shit eats up ya energy like nobody's business, ya know? Plus, I got a high as fuck metabolism 'n I like my food. Shit, who doesn't?! Either way, my suspicions are confirmed when she calls out t'me in dis ole muffled voice, "Kendah!"

Heh...Man, dat kid never stops makin' my smile, I swear. I wave at her, snortin' when she done went 'n got bagel crumbs in her eye. Lawd, dis kid is too much sometimes. Guess dat's why I love her, huh? "Hey, Sylvie! Oh, uh, yeah. Had me a quick ole round wit dat punchin' bag Sam lent me dis mornin'. If we goin' back to get five of dem bagels, den make it eleven; Imma load up on some too."

Shakin' my head, I den wave her ovuh before kneelin' down at eye level. "A'ight, now com'ere 'n keep ya eyes open." Carefully, I cradle her face between my hands 'n blow into her eye, hopin' to make it watuh and clear some of dem crumbs out. Sylvie's hella smart 'n wise fo' her age. Dat shit will a'ways be true. But still, it's moment like these dat remind me dat...even den, she didn' grow up in no normal shit. She had it rough as fuck. Goin' through stuff no kid deserves, especially not dis special one here. Not my sis.

So I gotta make sure I'm there to take care of her, just as she's here to take care of me. Dat's just how we work. "Just blink a lil...Still feel like you got some shit in yo eye?" I ask lowly, eyein' her closely in case she tryna lie 'n say she's a'ight. Don' try 'n pull dat wit me, sis. Ya know dat I know ya too well fo' dat.

"I am sure he feels something." I claim uncertainly, eyes flickering to follow Scott as he made his way from the kitchen to the hall. He seems to hesitate, gaining him a glare from the brunette, whose wild hair and stubborn posture would have made even the strongest of men shiver in fear. Scott gave her an approving glance before marching his way out, my breath catching in my throat in relief. Something about sleep deprivation a week after attempted abductions seemed unsettling, but something I could understand. I barely convinced myself to sleep after the attempted abduction, but I was so tired from the energy bursts that it happened. Without it, I wouldn't have slept. At least...not without making sure Saka was beside me. It may have been foolish, but I felt safest when he was around me. He may have been goofy and doofy, but the feeling of his being soothed me.

"I don't think that man will stop for anything Saka." I claim somberly, exhaling slowly. I barely have time to process much until he complements me upon my control, the sparks no longer over taking my hands. I smoother it with ease, surprised at my own improvement. It was certainly better, and I can't help but admit, I feel more...mature. More at ease. "Uh...yeah. I feel more comfortable with it too. I think me and my powers have come to an agreement. I am in control of them more than they are in control of me, but I have to let it have their wiggle room too. Otherwise, I think exhaustion will just be the end all be all. Oh! And I have learned how to change color too. Sort of, it's mostly emotional, but...well, my power is based on music and movements. Something my guardian told me that I never understood until now was that there are ups and downs in music Affects a specific mood. It turns out that is very true. If I am in a low, I move my hands more somberly. I can produce darker. If I am excited and my hand movements are more ecstatic, I produce lighter colors."

"I hope I can repair what has been torn." I comment tiredly, ushering a complaining Scott until he finally agreed to leave, his step evidently tired. Itzlie was right, truly she was. Scott was going to fall asleep the moment he returned to his proper room to sleep. Not that damn, pink beach chair. He needed to rest, he needed to regain his senses if he truly wanted to protect his home.

"Oh, thanks." I comment sheepishly as I rub the back of my head and turn back to the pink haired woman with a bright grin. "My brother Jonah was the same way. He always stayed up way too late and insisted upon staying awake for days at a time. We pretty much had to force him to go to bed each night. He insisted a rabbit hunt or a trail hike would calm his senses. We knew better than that. He was out there, doing God knows what, attempting to avoid sleep as much as humanely possible. I think so anyway. For all I know he could have been meeting a girl out by the creek. Or...you know, he could have been sleeping in a hollow tree. He did enjoy nature a lot more than the indoors, but damn it if it didn't make him exhausted." I pause as I realize I had rambled. I run my hand through stray strands of hair and I bite my lip.

"You know, Ill probably check on the other two men before making sure that Scott truly is doing alright. And plans to sleep for a while." I grab another plate as she tells me that I don't have to help and I simply shrug. "I am going to repay this house until I can wash my sins clean of hurting you." I bite my lip as I realize my grip upon the porcelain was growing too strong. "Er, and I plan to look after the kids. I love children." I think of my smallest brother, Evan, who had to have been eleven now. My eyes sting and I shake my head. "I just want to be apart of the assistance."
