 "Okay, Aly, I get it. I do. I will give them space." Alcina sincerely hoped Ariana was being serious. She felt an odd sense of incoming doom for some reason. Something wasn't right this semester. 

 "I'd love to do that. I hope we get the lake view. Come on!" Ariana had hugged Alcina and ushered her in the direction of their room. It was obvious the girl was changing the topic to combat rising anxiety. She could understand. She was starting to feel the same way herself. She took out her phone and began texting Toby about the group of boys and Riley as they walked. It took her a moment to register that Ariana was speaking again. 

"I'm so happy you're my roommate, Aly. It'd be so weird if you weren't. I love you. I'm so glad you're my twin and I have you."

Alcina glanced at Ariana and smiled faintly, "[b]I love you too sissy.[/b] "She hugged her tightly, pausing her walking, "[b]It's going to be okay. You'll see.[/b]" She broke away from the hug and led them to the room. "[b]Yeah we can go later[/b]."She had agreed when Ariana asked about going to the assembly later. The room was quite large. Upon opening the door, one would see a large common area with two couches and a TV along with a small kitchen and table with two chairs. There were two door on the right and on the left. It was clear that the two on the right led to the bedrooms and one led to the bathroom. There was already a large luggage cart by the door with all of their luggage piled high on it. There was a sliding door in the common area that led to a small balcony with a view of the lake.

"[b]Looks like we got the lake view.[/b] "She told Ariana with a smile. "[b]Do you wanna go get breakfast in the cafeteria or want me to make it?[/b]"

[h2][b]Rose[/b][/h2]
__________________________________________________________________________
 

Rose had detached herself from his legs upon him moving to the side. She knew James could be quite a serious boy but this was a whole new level. She straightened up on her feet and looked up at him, giving him her attention. 

"You have got to tell me you fully understood what Jason told you without making it a joke. This isn't high-school shit Rose; it's serious and more serious than you may realize. Those guys are actual criminals and have escaped jail together at least four times. Please don't make this a joke or something because it's not."

[b]"Honestly. He caught me a little off guard and I didn't know how to react[/b]."Rose said quietly. It was the most serious she had probably sounded yet. She had never been good at being serious. Her initial reaction was always to keep the conversation unserious  especially when something scared her. She didn't like to show fear and out of her anxiety, she'd try to play it off. She realized now trying to play it off was just making James upset and for his sake, she'd give in a bit. "[b]I don't understand how they got in here and why... If they're like criminals and...rapists... or whatever shouldn't we tell somebody?[/b]" She shuffled her feet nervously, gaze glued to her pink converse. Her voice had got real quiet upon stating the "r" word. 

Jason came over and rubbed Rose's shoulder. She glanced up at him. That was something he normally did not do. Jason never struck her as the comforting type. "I have a feeling the guardians already know but I'll alert them. Just stick with us and you'll be fine. And James, I think I could go for some waffles." 

[h2][b]Lucy[/b][/h2]
__________________________________________________________________________ 

Lucy had never imagined this was what the guardians did at meetings. She had thought they were all super serious and sat around knowing exactly what to do. It seemed like everyone was just lost. On top of that, there was a strong tension between Scarlett and many of the people in the room. Lucy herself felt intimidated by Scarlett even though she seemed like the only one doing something productive. There just wasn't anything friendly about the woman. She decided it was probably best to stay quiet and let the more experienced people handle the situation. It was only three months ago that she had no idea superior even existed. It felt like as soon as she officially been signed on to be a guardian, they had just decided to add on, "Oh and by the way... Superior exist and they kill guardians often. Just so you know."

Lucy was pulled out of her reverie when a coffee cup was roughly set in her vision by a very-well manicured hand with at least three rings decorating her fingers. Bracelets jangled with the movement of the wrist. She glanced up at the speaker. [b]"Here you can have my coffee if you want honey-"[/b] It was Jessamine. Lucy had seen her time and time again hanging out with the guardians when she had been a student. She remembered asking her brother if she was a guardian and being quite confused when the answer was no. She had only been told recently that there was a government faction called superior hunters. 

Jessamine always reminded her of a barbie doll with the glamorous way she dressed and how her hair was always so perfect. Men seemed to be swooning and left stuttering wherever she went. It was almost a little weird. Lucy doubted the girl had ever had one pimple.  She could admit she had always been a little bit jealous but she was comfortable enough in her own average appearance to not let it get to her. Anyway, Lucy was always under the impression the girl had WAY too much coffee. She was positive that Jessamine didn't really need the coffee she was giving her. 

Jessamine had quickly been distracted by a different thought, straightening and clapping her hands together as she rose her voice, "I hope you guys all said hello to Lucy and made her feel welcome!"

Lucy could have groaned. The last thing she wanted was the attention on her. They looked at each other at first, exchanging glances Lucy couldn't quite catch. Heads tilted toward her as people leaned over the table to look at her. They all whispered things back and forth before mumbling greetings. She was able to pick up words despite their whispering. "Child" and "young" were two common words she heard. 

Lucy looked around, feeling like a deer caught in headlights. "[b]Umm... Hey."[/b] She could have slapped her forehead. Her voice had been as quiet as a church mouse. She had hoped to give a stronger tone and come off as someone as old and capable as they were. She down casted her gaze and shrunk into her chair, assuming that was the most recognition she was getting today.

"Welcome Lucy," A voice made her jump a little bit out of the chair. That was another thing about Lucy: she was super skittish.  "I'm Liam, one of your brother's friends'." She turned her head to smile at Liam. He was a much more familiar face than all of them. He and Toby had been friends for years and she was used to his presence. 

"[b]Thank you. I remember you well[/b]." She told him and gave him a smile.  

"Fake-friend," came a cough from Scarlett, making her glance over. What the hell was her problem? She wondered how Toby could date her.

"Aww how cute is she!?" Jessamine smiled, "What a little baby-face. Don't worry Lucy. Liam, Scarlett and I are basically your aunts and uncle since we're so close with your brother. We'll take good care of you." She put her arms around Liam upon hearing Scarlett, hugging him tight, "Liam is a total babe, Scarlett hush."

"Liam is a total babe, huh?"
Heads turned as Toby entered the room with a smirk on his face. He was dressed in a nice button down and jeans. He basically was dressed like the type of boy to bring home to your parents. His ice green eyes set on Liam, Scarlett and Jessamine. He came over hugging Jessamine from behind and by consequence of her position, Liam as well. "I see we're all talking about serious business here, mis amigos." 

"It is very serious."Jessamine retorted, letting go of Liam and sitting down, "Liam's babe level has been put into question by... [i]SOMEONE[/i]." She dramatically swiveled her body to accusingly and jokingly glare at Scarlett.

"Nah." Toby put his arms around Scarlett, resting his chin over her head, "She's also a total babe and wouldn't do something like that." Lucy grimaced. Did he not know his own girlfriend? This chick clearly would do that.

"I don't know Tobias... That kitty's got claws."Jessamine said with a giggle.

"Don't we all?"Toby replied and finally looked over at Lucy and smiled, "You having fun, sis?"
"More fun than being in Disney world."Lucy replied with a nervous smile. Toby knew she had been super nervous for her first day. She hadn't been acting like herself all morning. 

"More fun than Disney world? Now that's too much fun."Toby let go of Scarlett and straightened. He turned to address the entire room. "Alright. Welcome Section 13. Liam and I are your section captains. Scarlett and Jessamine are guests. They are superior hunters who are here to help just as they did last year. Please treat them with respect because by no means do they have to be here. They are here of their own free will." Lucy wasn't used to Tobias being so serious and commanding. He acted so different when they were at home.

"I'm sure you're all aware of the superior infiltration situation we have. " He began walking around the table as he spoke. " A couple other sections already have plans devised but in my opinion they're all bunch of horse shit."

Lucy could tell there were a couple other newbies in the crowd because it seemed they weren't used to an authority figure out right cursing at them. If he hadn't been her brother, she would have been shocked.

"The reality of it is they're clearly a bunch of idiots. They're not making any effort to conceal themselves. However, I'm not saying we underestimate them and put our guard down. I'm suggesting the opposite and overestimate them in every way possible. Being stupid could sometimes be more dangerous than being smart. They're not going to sit down and plan out a whole attack. They're just gonna get bored and kill someone or attack a girl because one guy gets a desire to see under a girl's skirt. They're teenage boys. Keep that in mind. " He held Lucy's gaze warningly a moment before moving on. Lucy clenched her fists. Of course he wasn't going to ease up on her. He was going to be overprotective and treat her like a little kid like he always did.

"The other groups seem to be worried that they're devising a plan and they think they have a bit of time before these superior actually do anything..."He said with a dry laugh, "So they're all sitting in those rooms trying to figure out what is being planned." 

Lucy wasn't sure she agreed with him. She had always thought taking a step back and trying to put herself in someone's else shoes before acting had been smart. 

"You know the usual-'Oh maybe a couple of us could eavesdrop on them or sneak by Damien's camp and eavesdrop there'" He imitated the guardians with an eye-roll. "We all know what happens when a couple people try to eavesdrop by Damien's camp."He drew a line across his neck with his finger. "You'll soon get to know that I'm not afraid to disagree. I think immediate action is necessary. These guys are not afraid to do immediate damage and I guarantee something will happen within the first week. I have proposed to Aidan and some of the other elders that we take immediate action to get these people out of here. Everyone seems to think immediate action is not possible since it could pose a danger to the students. I say the longer we let these creeps stay here, the worse danger they potentially hold and the more damage will be done. I want to plan an immediate attack that involves many guardians overpowering them once they're all together in an area and minimize the amount of other people hurt at all costs. However, most people disagree with me so I'm going to open up the floor right now."

He loudly slammed his hands on the table, waking up a few people who nodded off. "Now I want to hear every single one of you open your mouth today-even the ...."He looked down at the sign-in sheet for a moment, pausing, "Even the five of you who are experiencing your first guardian meetings today. Don't think this is like a class room and you can hide from the teacher calling on you. You will all be giving your intake like it or not because even if you think it's shit it might end up being useful."

"How soon of an attack are you talking about?"Jessamine spoke up first. "A attack on them needs to be coordinated. I have written down each one of their powers. Aubrey will be a pain in the ass with her power negation. If she catches sight of us before we are able to get a good hit in on them, we're gonna be in trouble. Even with that, we don't know if she is constantly negating powers in a certain radius or if she only does it when she sees fit. This means we might have to be prepared for a situation where even if we outnumber, we will have dream manipulation against us. Mortimer can trigger a day dream and render someone completely useless. Ezra can chuck an entire train at us if he so wanted and Louis can actually just immobilize multiple people at once. Then Lindon has plant manipulation and this place is surrounded by a million god damn trees."

"I'm thinking within the week. I realize how powerful they are and that's why I think that's even more reason to get them the fuck out of here. They are obviously going to target Damien's kids and then the two princesses who are all just young kids with no idea what is coming at them. As students here, they have a right to feel safe and protected, not constantly predated on. "Tobias told her. "But now that you mention Aubrey we will probably have to take her out before any of them as fast as possible."

"[b]You might do better with getting her alone[/b],"Lucy interjected, "[b]Then attacking her when she's in the group. If you get her alone there's less chance she's using power negation. They're probably expecting we might attack them when they're all together.[/b]"

"Good point."Toby told her, "Thanks."

"Then by that point wouldn't we be better off attacking each of them alone?"Someone asked. 
"There's no way we're getting find them all alone."Another disagreed. "Those guys are gonna stick together." 
"We can find a way to lure one out from the others with maybe those girls right? Scarlett said Ezra ahd Louis had things for two of the girls- "
"No way! You can't just use people as bait. Plus if they were going to attack they don't split off alone, they always bring back-up."Jessamine retorted a bit angrily.
A couple people began heatedly arguing back and forth before finally someone shouted, "HEY!"

The table became silent as everyone looked at the speaker. Dalton was standing over Jessamine. He glared at them all before he finally pointed at the list. "My brother and his powers are on this list. "His voice was heavy with emotion. "Is he considered an enemy to you people? Are you going to attack him too ?" Some people looked at Jessamine for an answer. A lot of people seemed to be kept in the dark on this one. 

"Dalton..."Jessamine began slowly then stopped. Silence filled the air. Toby looked at her in surprise as well. 

"Not gonna tell me huh? "Dalton asked angrily. Lucy imagined fire brewing in his eyes he was so mad. "Well let me tell you something, miss [i]Jessamine[/i]."He sneered her name with fury and mockery, " My brother is a student in trouble, not one to place on a list full of maniacs. I would all hope you guys feel the same in here, right Toby? " Lucy edged away from the table with fear. She was sure he was gonna flip the entire table over. She had thought he was scary before but now she was terrified of him.

"Sit down, Dalton."Toby said calmly as he organized some papers. "We have noted that Riley is hanging out with them. We're not sure why or how this situation ended up. We were actually hoping you could tell us but of course we will have him separated immediately and have someone also explain to him that they are not his fr-"

"Yeah you say that but what the fuck is this then?"Dalton took the paper, holding up. He shook it in Jessamine and Scarlett's faces, making Toby stand up in anger. "Written so nicely in pretty script is my brother's name. Oh look here. Next to his name it's noted: [i]dangerous[/i]. Whatever your plans seemed to be, the superior hunters have a different one in their head and she has the fucking nerve to sit in silence instead of telling me why she wants to get rid of my brother."

"I didn't say get rid of him."Jessamine spoke finally. "He just might be dangerous and I think he's unsafe to keep in the school. There are a few rumors going around that they've done something to him and I don't want to take any chances-"

Dalton started to laugh without any humor, interrupting her. "Unsafe to keep in the school? Where do you fucking want to put him then?"He ripped the paper in half and stormed out furiously.
