There was a need for Lynette to be smart when Aliana said to do it outside.

[i]Like I was just itching to be a homegrown terrorist![/i] 

But, the New Yorker had enough tack to know that just wasn't appropriate. She just wordlessly gestured for the two to follow her, and Lynette lead them outside of the building. She was considering asking Aliana about what she meant by "that" but she decided to stay quiet just this once. Opting instead to lead them to the outskirts of the academy - behind the building around where they take the trash out. She was staring at a wall, she sighed as she pulled out the marker again. She didn't know what she did, but she did her best to replicate the drawing of the symbol of fire in a ring - just so she can recreate the same effects.

With expertly strokes, Lynette had drawn the same symbol of flames that she did before. Afterwards, she immediately took some steps back - in expectations that it would explode again. It was sitting there with black ink... and she briefly stared at it. Wondering what had happened before... before it started glowing with a brilliant blue color again. Her eyes went wide as she covered her face with her arms.

Instead of exploding again, a massive pillar of flames came out of it. Lynette jumped, as she wondered what in the world just happened when she drew that. "Holy shit!" She said as she looked at the effects. The grass and leaves were absolutely scorched, and there was a trail of soot from the wall to about fifteen feet away. She looked at her little girl posse as she said,

"... Did you two see that?"

Ahhhh... the ugly question of what happened that night at camp.

It was true that he was in the thick of it. He may had committed a special kind of sin that he wouldn't be able to come back from - and he wasn't even a Christian. The sin of murder. It made him clutch his hand tightly, and hang his head. That wasn't something he was willing to share with anyone. Not with Tuyen, not with his mother, and definitely not with his precious twin sister Katie. [i]Nobody.[/i] The sin of murder was the burden he, and only he, was going to carry. He clenched his fist, as he shook his head yet again.

"... I was." Justin softly said. "That axe bastard went after Claire, and I saved her...." [i]With the help of [/i] something. He thought to himself as he looked at his palm. He saw faint embers come off of it, and shook it again. Everywhere he went, he saw fire. Or something. Where was the fire coming from?

Or was he just the fire? 

There were many questions to ask, but he kept them all to himself. "Honestly..." Justin said, "I really don't blame you for cutting me off - I need a lot of time to myself, too." He shook his head. Wondered where it all went wrong. It just started with him being sent to this awful town to learn a lesson, now he's in the midst of a supernatural crisis? Still there was the now to handle.

"Even though other people have seen worse...." Justin said, as he took a step forward, and grabbed her hand, saying, "... That still doesn't mean your problems are nothing."

"... I think I need new glasses." Kimberly said as she wiped off her glasses with her shirt and looked at it. It was definitely real... or they were having a shared hallucination. She didn't know - but there was one way to find out. "Hurry up! Catch it!" She half-shouted - half because she didn't want to draw too much attention to them. 

"How?" Jordan said, pointing at her leg.
