James watched Rose's reaction and sighed. He hadn't meant to intentionally scare her, but help her understand. At least she had allowed herself to show fear. He was thankful she know understood it. He hugged her close and kissed her head. He couldn't imagine those freaks of nature touching her or anyone else in the group for that matter. He rubbed her arm gently with his and looked at his twin. He was thankful that Jason's had been tangled in this mess like he had been; at least, not in the same way. He was glad he was here to help the others because nobody but them in the group understood the true terror lurking.

"[b]Sounds good[/b]," he replied to Jason and kissed Rose's head gently. "Let's go to the cafeteria. I wonder if Shay and Ale went - I think I saw them go - but I don't remember seeing Aly or Ariana." At the mention of the last one, he glanced sideways at Jason. He knew how much he liked her and wanted to be with her. Perhaps he'd get his chance with Riley hanging out with the superior. It was sad to say though; he knew that it shouldn't be that way. He had to help that boy out of it before it was too late. Perhaps it already was too late. He felt so sorry for him and knew he had to be there to help Riley because the power was too much to bear alone. That much James knew and understood in ways nobody else could unless they had it on them.

He sighed and began to lead Rose and Jason to the cafeteria while keeping a firm grip around her shoulders protectively. He felt so on edge that he could just scream.[/color]

[hr][color=pink][h1][u][b]Ariana[/b][/u][/h1]

"[b]I can help you make it[/b]." Ariana replied after Alcina offered to make breakfast.  She sat down in a chair and sighed. She wanted to spend as much time as she could with her twin but also Riley. She couldn't imagine being without him. Beside her twin, eh was her best-friend. People had made jokes that they'd get married and even asked them when they would. The tow would brush the jokes off, but deep down, she had started to wonder too. Still she had never wanted to ruin the friendship. Riley was an intricate part of her life she wouldn't risk losing. She would prefer a hundred years of torture over losing Aly or him. The two were important to her. 

Her muscles tensed and her throat felt tight. She gritted her teeth and looked at her clammy hands. She quickly set a hand on her chest and felt her racing heart. It felt as if someone were sitting on it. Her breathes came quick and unevenly, and the room began to blur around her. The sheer idea of losing Aly or Riley was setting her off and she couldn't stand it anymore. What would she do? Was Riley hanging out with criminals? Were they... No, no, way, superior were gone... But then who were they? Ariana knelt down to her dufflebg (which had been transferred to their rooms) and pulled out a small box form the inside pocket. She quickly took a Xanax pill out of it and quickly swallowed it whole. Then, she hid it again safely, and zipped it shut once more.

She stood up and quickly joined Alcina in the kitchen. "What are we making?" she asked innocently as if nothing had happened but there was no fooling Alcina.  Ariana had been trying to quit taking the medication lately, but kept relapsing and taking it. She wouldn't look at her twin as she began to prep for whatever they were going to cook for breakfast. They were independent than most teenagers, as a result of their aunt and uncle rarely caring to do anything for them. They housed them and provided food but that was s far as it went. She had no idea why their aunt and uncle hated them so much, but understood they weren't the parenting type. She gritted her teeth has her hands shook and quickly gripped the counter to stop them. She hoped Aly didn't bring up the topic because she wasn't certain if she could handle it.[/color]

[color=yellow][h1][u][b]Scarlett[/b][/u][/h1]

Scarlett's vision blurred as the group conversed among one another. Her gaze locked ahead of her, though she wasn't seeing anything in particular. Though Toby entered, Scarlett had not reacted. Her body was tense as it normally was during a vision. In her mind's eye, she saw the a faint outline of the throne room at Victor's castle; or rather, King Victor, if she cared to be technical. [i]The blurry outline showed two females, but she couldn't tell their age. She squinted, trying to make it out. Faint visible traces of someone short and the other female, taller, were there. A man's frame was seen beside the taller girl.[/i] Her head throbbed as she focused harder. [i]There was a boy beside the girl. It looked like James Salvatore. Distant voices filled the room then a repetitive wailing of someone else. [/i]She could have groaned. The same vision kept coming, but this time, it had more information. It kept coming in pieces since it wasn't setup completely. She hated when she had half-visions, as she called them. 

A flash of light and Scarlett was in another vision.  This time, it was clearer. She squinted once more, not realizing she hadn't blinked in ten minutes. A short red-haired girl with a fiery mane was speaking before the people on TV. She inhaled, blinking in shock. What was Cassidy doing here? She wasn't involved... Unless - the previous vision. had aligned with him - but she wasn't certain how yet. Scarlett went to explore the vision more. but a pounding fist broke her concentration. Quick, heated conversations followed, and she blinked rapidly to see it was Dalton. She looked around and saw Riley's name written in Jessie's paper. She flinched and looked u pat him.

"[b]Dalton,[/b]" she hopped up, blinking still. Her visions when they were strong, baffled her senses. She felt overwhelmed and shakily ran after Dalton.  Once he was in the hall, she joined him and took his arm, blinking again. "Dalton, no, wait. We noted he's been put on the power and that it's going to make him be different. We don't want to hurt him or anything. We want to help him. If anything, he'd be put in the superior hunter base cell so we could work him off the power." 

She paused, letting him take it in then took his hands and gently squeezed them. "[b]I'm going to be here for you, Dalton, regardless if you like me or not. I won't let anyone hurt your brother. I promise on it. I'll be guarding him from afar and up close. I won't let anyone, at all, hurt Riley. I feel terrible he's in the predicament he's in and I will do everything I can to get him off the power. Okay?[/b]" She hugged him tight without waiting and stared at him intently. "[b]You might want to keep an eye on him like I will be with my visions.

Dalton stared at her, his anger diminishing a bit before murmuring a thank you and walking away rather hastily.[/b][/color]
