Giddeon didn't even have time to register Mr. Zaiger's words before he watched as Madison fled the gymnasium. Could it have had something to do with the incredibly off scent he was getting from her? Only further confusing him, Alicia had just come in, late as well, and he caught a strong whiff of a new scent on her. Really? Two newbies in that short of time? Well... he was sure it happened more often than he knew, but definitely not two of the same age group, school, and class. His eyes, full of confusion and even a slight twinge of fear, looked to Mr. Zaiger, almost asking for some kind of instruction or answer as to what was going on or what he could do. Jake, in turn, shook his head no subtly, finishing off his orange by popping the rest into his mouth and crossed his arms over his chest. So Giddeon was to do nothing, then. Not go after Madi to see if she was okay, and not to approach Alicia to see if [i]she[/i] was okay. Mr. Zaiger was his favorite teacher in the school by far and would do whatever he asked, but sometimes, he just didn't understand the way he ticked. It was like he didn't want Giddeon getting involved in anyone other than his own pack. Was that just his way of protecting him? From keeping his hands clean so that he could say, "I told him not to." if he ever decided to not listen and got hurt? Giddeon couldn't tell if that was just being a friend, or just being a teacher. Either way, he wasn't sure if he liked it. "Uh... Alicia? You wanna be my co-captain?" Giddeon asked, holding out one of the blue flags for her to take should she accept being his first pick. He could feel Mr. Zaiger's eyes baring down on him, disapprovingly, but he didn't care. It was freaking P.E. class! He couldn't avoid his classmates forever! Especially if they continued to turn the rate they were. Was... was there something going on out there? Something... bad? Wait... was that strawberries and cream he smelled?

Alecia was a newborn, even more new than Madison, though for reasons unknown to him, Alecia was holding herself much better. It very well could have been for the fact that the full moon was just the previous night. If Alecia had been bitten [i]after[/i] that, chances were that she didn't have to undergo the transformation. That in itself could cause for a bit more... normalcy given the otherwise strange occurrence. His mind was lost deep in thought, only catching the corner of Giddeon's eye as the boy looked to him for instruction. Though a good opportunity for a quick lesson, now was not the time. Though he was sure that he and Giddeon shared the same concerns. For two girls so closely related to one another to be turned at such a quick rate... either a pack was building their numbers or there was something else going on entirely. He had that feeling in his stomach - the one that told him that something bad was going to be happening very soon. The thought of running crossed his mind, but then, what good would that do to his reputation of being perhaps the only tolerated (and even liked) Vampire coexisting with Werewolves? His attention was snapped back to the present, however, when he felt a shift in Ms. Flores. Focusing his attention on her, he watched as she seemed to have some obvious (at least to him) difficulty in even breathing, let alone keeping her class going. It was her illness - he could smell it miles away. It was getting worse, and going to take her sooner than any doctor could predict. While the boys continued to pick their selection of classmates for their team, Jake quietly pushed himself away from the wall, casually walking towards the gym teacher to stand by her side. He bent his head forward, speaking directly into her ear as to not be overheard. At least, by any humans. "I've got this class if you want to go and lay down for a bit." [/color]
