Interacting With: Each Other

Approaching them, Jade Taylor saw the looks in their eyes: frightened, scared, terrified. They saw a side of the blonde that never was seen before. This side of her, unlike her occasional rage fits, or tantrums that she would throw, was something truly terrifying. Imagine the most terrifying state anyone could be in. Imagine that they were experiencing the biggest rage fit in their entire lives. Imagine that every ounce of their being was being put through such hell that they didn’t friend from foe. Imagine being in that state of mind. Now, multiply it by infinity, and you have exactly what Jade Taylor was in.

Arms raised, the magma rose with her. The large, thick goop that would burn anything into smithereens upon contact, was being formed at her will. The blonde, whose eyes were pure red with a black outline, looked to the two woman in front of her: one a brunette. Her figure slightly bulkier than the other. Long brown hair and a face that anyone would love. Her name was Alicia Smith. She was Jade’s best friend. The other, a redhead. Pale white skin, and slightly less loveable than Alicia, but still loved by many. She was Alicia’s girlfriend, and the object of most of Jade’s rage. Though the latter girl was the one Jade was aiming to hurt most, by extension of relations, Alicia was nearby, not leaving her side. 

Jades’ arms were coming down, but then she stopped. The words of her friend pleading with her. “Stop it, Jade! Please!” She heard Alicia speak, but all they did was halt her movements. The blonde didn’t’ respond. Her mind, as rage-filled as it was, didn’t hear her — not really. The only thing that it was so focused on — the only thing that Jade Taylor seemed to be entirely dedicated to was eliminating what she saw as a threat. 

As her arms were going to come down, something stopped her. Jade turned her head around, and saw someone standing there. She couldn’t tell who it was. However, as the blood red shade in her eyes started to fade and the black soon became white, Jade saw — well, she saw herself. This person was scared, but held Jade still. The rage-filled Jade tried to jerk away, but the other Jade wouldn’t budge. She simply shook her head, as if trying to tell her not to go through it. Rage-filled Jade stilled tried to jerk her away again, but the image of herself wouldn’t let go.

As rage-filled Jade jerked one last time, her arm became free, it went down, and the magma fell upon Alicia and Katalina. Then, her vision went black. One blink, and it came back.

And then Jade woke up.

Looking around her, Jade saw a familiar shade of brown. It was sitting nearby. “Alicia ..’ Jade said, still seeming to be disoriented of her surroundings. Jade then looked around. Further away, closer to the door it seemed, was a familiar shade of red hair. “Kata…” Jade’s voice seemed quieter, almost as if she didn’t know how to raise her voice. Well, at least in that moment she didn’t. “Why are you two—“JAde paused. She knew why. “— I mean, how long have you two been here?”

"Not that long. Your uncle stepped out for a moment and we've been here maybe twenty minutes at most? Just wanted to see how you were doing... also escape the looming doom of boredom in our own rooms." The redhead spoke up first, looking at Jade. 

Alicia was sitting next to Jade's bed her leg was resting on another chair that a nurse had brought in, when Jade finally woke up Alicia smiled at her best friend gently rubbing her shoulder. "How are you feeling? Do you remember anything that happened last night?" Alicia asked as she reached for one of the cookies that Fox had brought in earlier.

"I feel sore around my mid-back," Jade said, trying to find a more comfortable position in her bed. She found one by turning slightly to the right side. It happened to be the direction where Alicia and Katalina were, so it benefited Jade more. [color=e62020][b]"I..don't know." Jade was unsure, "I keep on having these dreams, but they don't make any sense." She said.

Katalina seemed to frown a bit and leaned back in her chair. She rubbed her temples a bit  before she spoke."I'll admit it is a little fuzzy for me at times as well, but I apparently drained my batteries something awful. I guess we gotta be careful in the future."

Alicia took a bite out of the cookie she looked over at her girlfriend remembering that she had passed out from using to much of her ability before turning back to look at Jade. "Well, since I was pretty much awake the whole time, I remember a little bit more." Alicia said as she grabbed her cup of water and took a sip from it. "For whatever reason Jade, you sort of lost control or something and destroyed the lodge." Alicia said softly.

“I did what now?” Jade asked, shifting herself upward somewhat. She winced from the soreness, but that didn’t matter at the moment. What she heard Alicia say outweighed the soreness in her back

Katalina rubbed her temples. "I remember something about an earthquake, yes. Mom said the lodge was messed up a bit. Also... oh." Katalina's memory it seemed had started to click into place as she trailed off and looked off to the side. 

"Also what?" Jade asked, sounding almost pushy as she leaned forward. She, again, winced from the pain.

"It was like someone was controlling you Jade, you suddenly yelled and then the earth started shaking. Everyone at the party started running off into the woods. And uh, Ashton sort of shocked you so that you wouldnt hurt anyone.." Alicia trailed off leaving out the part where Jade was about to kill the two of them. She quickly looked over at Katalina reaching out to hold her hand. "Are you alright?"

Katalina took Alicia's hand and nodded. "I'll be fine, but the better question, is are you going to be okay Jade? Whatever was controling you pushed your powers well beyond what you were use to I'm sure. I mean... there was friggen magma." Katalina seemed to be avoiding saying something.

"Whoa, just slow down," Jade felt dizzy from all of this information that may or may not be true. "First you're saying I wrecked, destroyed Everett's lodge — or whatever happened to it, I sure as hell don't, and now you're saying there was magma?" Jade was shaking her head as she tried to grasp, well, everything Alicia and Katalina were telling her. "You have to be shitting me." Jade said, again kind of laughing, but also smiling too, "Alicia, you know that my power is only earthquakes. I mean, for fuck's sake, you saw me do it." Jade was looking to Alicia to pretty much confirm that all of what they told her was some kind of elaborate prank, and that she didn't turn into some fucking walking, talking, breathing volcano.

"It's the truth Jade! There was magma that came out of the ground and I knew that you were being controlled by someone because you wouldn't do anything like what you did at Everett's lodge." Alicia rubbed the back of her neck then she looked over towards Katalina for a moment. "You probably wouldnt remember because you were knocked out when Ashton zapped your back." Alicia sighed before finally saying. "And you were saying some pretty crazy shit last night too."

Jade was laughing until she saw Alicia's serious expression. Her eyes fell to Katalina. "Please, talk some sense into your girlfriend. She's obviously been smoking a little too much of that Mary Jane. Tell her that she's obviously mistaking me for some other crazy bitch" Jade said, almost pleading with Katalina to set her girlfriend straight. She was actually getting worried now. Alicia wasn't letting up on this ridiculous story of Jade going on some kind of rampage. 

"You know as well as I do that she doesn't do that. I was there Jade. There was magma, and well... yeah, you were pretty ticked off. It was like someone dug into the back of your mind and made everything you were hiding come to the front. You... even... you tried to hurt us. I know it wasn't you however, there was something bigger at play." Katalina looked at Jade dead on, never looking away.

"No, I couldn't.." Jade's laugh was gone. A confused, almost distraught look replaced her grin.

In Katalina's eyes, Jade could see it. She could see the grim truth of what both of them have been saying. Sure, at first she thought they were playing some kind of elaborate prank on her. And maybe they still were, but Jade knew enough about Katalina to know when she was joking; it was always in the eyes. As Jade looked at Katalina's eyes, there was something of a sadness in them. It was almost as if she was on the verge of crying or something akin to that. Jade knew that look all too well — it was the look that Jade often had when she would look into her own mirror as she was in a not-so-happy state of mind.

Jade looked to Alicia momentarily. She wanted to gauge if all of it was true. "Ali, you never have lied to me. This isn't true is it? I didn't ..attack you guys, did I?" Jade wanted — no, she needed for Alicia to simply say no, and that everything Jade was told was one horrible lie, and that they were just fucking with her.

Alicia's eyes met Jade's seeing the look in her best friend's eyes she was trying to wrap her mind around what had exactly happened. Everything that Katalina and her were saying was the actual truth. "Jade.. it is the actual truth." Alicia paused for about a minute, looking at her girlfriend, and then towards Jade finally. "I know you wouldn't hurt us, but you did actually try to kill me and Kat last night. If it wasn't for Scout — who jumped in between us and used her ability and Kat using hers as well to cool down the magma — neither of us would be here having this conversation right now." The look on Alicia's face she was telling the truth what had actually happened.

Jade had to take a moment to simply take all of that in. She had to just let it all set in. Everything was piling on top of her like a ton of bricks being suspended over a stack of paper plates by a thread slowly ripping, and the plates starting to crack from the pressure. At the start of it, Jade simply thought they were kidding — like maybe they were doing this as a prank — but she now saw that everything they were saying was the absolute truth. Alicia never lied to her whenever she looked at her like that. Jade knew that when Alicia took to that tone of voice, the truth would be spoken. She knew it, and now Jade's mind was in a much worse place than before.

"That means, my dreams are actually..." Jade's eyes widened, those bluish-green orbs showing through the moderate black eye shadow, "Oh god, what have I done!?" Jade had shrieked in a high-pitched scream. Her head shaking side-to-side, her hands gripping it so tight that one would think the eyes would come out of their sockets. her upper body was rocking back and forth slightly. All the while it was doing that, her deafening screams kept on coming.

"Jade it wasn't your fault!" Alicia said as she reached out to Jade to hold her hand when she suddenly started to let out a loud scream catching the attention of several nurses. One of them gently led Alicia and Katalina out of Jade's room, as she was led out Alicia grabbed her crutches and made her way out of the room. Alicia looked over her shoulder as one of the nurses had started sedating Jade to calm her down. She looked over towards her girlfriend with a worried look. "Should I have told her that?" She asked Katalina.

Katalina let out a soft sigh. "She needed to hear the truth, and better from someone that cares about her than doesn't. Give her time. We both know it wasn't her fault, now she just needs to know that everyone else knows that too. I hope."

Time: 7:20 - 7:35 A.M.
Location:  Beverly Hills High
Interacting With: Analise @Aewin, everyone else nearby

Such fun, exciting toys were arriving. The most exciting one that always peaked Alexandros’ interest was that rather naïve, almost innocent, Analise. Alexandros didn’t know much about her, but just the way her flowing blonde hair went down her back each time she would unknowingly show it to Alexandros, his interest in this one was peaked. It was probably almost to the point of him completely ignoring Victoria. Even when that saucy little minx would sit next to him, he didn’t even notice. When she would whisper into his ear almost like some kind of succubus of some kind, Alexandros paid no mind to it. Whatever interest he had at the moment was completely on Analise Arnette. For whatever reason, he was more intrigued by her naiveté than he was with the obvious attraction that 

“Oh, hey.” Alexandros absentmindedly acknowledged Victoria, his eyes briefly falling on her. He gave her a satisfactory — albeit obviously fake to anyone with half of a brain.

As he stood there eating the rest of the muffin that he had nabbed from Dominique’s basket, Alexandros’ eyes would never leave Analise. He wasn’t making it subtle either. Anyone who would look at him, or at Analise, would definitely see Alexandros eye her as if she was the most important thing in the room. Or in the current situation’s case, the general vicinity. Even with everything going on with Domi and her brother(and that cute redhead with him), Audrey and her little boy toy, Troy(Alexandros did pay mind to them, but not enough to warrant any kind of looks from those two), and then those who were arriving late, Alexandros had his attention solely on Analise Arnette. 

“If you’ll excuse me,” Alexandros said to Victoria, leaving her to approach Analise. 

Alexandros walked as he always did: with style, grace, and always — yes, always — did he get noticed by anyone around him. It was mostly, though not always the case, that Alexandros would make it his intention to get the attention of the person that has it. As it stood currently, Analise Arnette was the object of his unscrupulous eyes. He completely ignored pretty much everyone who may or may not‘ve been talking to Analise. Even if he came off as rude, he didn‘t care. He would interject himself into their conversation whether they liked it or not. “Please, call me Alexandros,” a calm, façade of a smile, formed upon Alexandros’ face, his eyes shifting from his true unmoral nature to a more deceiving, falsely genuine feeling. “I suddenly find myself without company for the assembly today. How would you like to fill that void, Analise?” Alexandros, as smooth and suave as ever, held out his hand, as if expecting her to take it.
