House of Night: Resurgence

Hestia's eyes flashed with power and fury at Via's words but she left them alone because killing the girl as she stood would be a bad idea for her and her plans so she brushed them off and closed the rest of the circle with a blessed be and moved from the temple.

Jackson walked in the crowd eyes scanning for Via but unable to find her before he just took off however he stepped to the side telling his roommate Allen that he would see him later and stood aside waiting for Via to pop up.

House of Night: Resurgence

Jackson kept smiling at Via through the whole thing until finally Hestia stands before him to dismiss Fire before she does however she leans in and whispers in his ear.

"Maybe when you're done with the tramp you can come see me." she said pulling away and shooting him a knowing glance. She was clearly trying to seduce him but to anyone else it would have looked like she was just being a mentor. Jackson was shocked and something really was compelling me to go through with it understanding exactly what she meant. But a small sizzle from his feet broke him out of it and he became horrified at her words but because of their public setting he felt he couldn't say anything major so he politely looked her in the eye and said.
Thanks Hestia but I think I'll just be going to bed afterwords got classes tomorrow night and all." he said with a smile.
"But of course." Hestia responded a bit shocked wondering how he had managed to break through the compulsory abilities she carried but moved on with the ceremony reaching Via and smiling leaning in to whisper in her ear. "You have a nice catch there I do hope nothing happens between you two." she said her smile warping to a slightly sinister one.

House of Night: Resurgence

Jackson smiled back and looked to Hestia who had looked back to him the fury in her eyes calmed somewhat.
"Well well. Ladies and gentlemen we seem to have two people with affinities among us." she said with a deceptively warm smile. "Please Jackson, Vianna come forward join us our circle could always use people like yourself." she added. Jackson looked to Via and shrugged. Walking forward he stood in the circle taking the place of the swords master of the school in the place of fire.

Hestia noted the attraction between the two grinning to herself as she watched Jackson step forward. I guess her wind really does fuel his fire. she thought to herself watching the two. I wonder how strong their bond will be if an older more mature woman shows interest in him. Poor boy probably won't know what to do with himself.

House of Night: Resurgence

JAckson made it back to his friends who all gave him hell for kissing Via but he didn't care he had just let the music and his instincts guide him and it seemed to work out for him.
"What can I say I guess I've got an inner ladies man." He said smiling. The ceremony went on and kept everyones spirits high JAckson's friend Kieth even nudged him and told him how hot he thought Hestia was.

Hestia however had become furious. The buzz was no longer on her and her admittedly skimpy outfit or the ceremony. Jackson and Via had stole the show and she was not happy about it but continued her Ceremony all the same. Calling the elements she felt their usual rush of power but there was something else. Something...different and as she looked to the crowd she stopped in her tracks. In both the Southern and Eastern corners two people were surrounded but power manifesting in something Hestia had only heard about.

Jackson pulled at his shirt he was getting warmer by the second and when he looked up he noticed Hestia staring at him and one other person and had stopped the ceremony. He looked down and saw a red ring surrounding him and heat radiating from it but there was more he could feel it arcing over the group toward Via who seemed to be going through something of her own. And Hestia was staring her down as well her usually calm and warm eyes clearly showing her fury.

Jackson blushed hard at Via's kiss and smiled walking toward the small band of people gathered to play the song and worked out the music side of everything before Hestia came over asking if he was ready.
"As ready as I can be." he said stepping into the circle of students as the music started playing and the attention was his. He knew the song so he just ran with it and everything his dad taught him about singing live. Just breathe and find a focus point always go back to it. he thought as he looked around and caught sight of Via.
"Oh!
A moment you'll never remember
And a night you'll never forget!
Ah!

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers" He sang with all he had making sure to circle the crowd and enjoy himself with the song the whole time he sang. His voice sounding rich and warm with just enough of a rough edge to fit the song and the band who made it famous.

"My life started the day I got caught
Under the covers
With secondhand lovers
Oh, tied up in pretty young things
In a state of emergency
Who was I tryna be?

Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it Over it.

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers By the time he finished the second Chorus it seemed like the whole room was singing and clapping along bu he kept finding Via's face through it all using it to ground himself and keep himself calm. It was strange as nervous and odd as she made him feel he also kept him calm somehow he could't quite grasp it but he kept singing anyway.

I was drunk and it didn't mean a thing
Stop thinking about
The bullets from my mouth
I love the things you hate about yourself
Just finished a daydream
Who were you tryna be?

Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it over it

No one wants you when you have no heart and
I'm sitting pretty in my brand new scars and
You'll never know if you don't ever try again
So let's try, let's try, let's try

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Jackson finished the song and tried to catch his breath as the crowd clapped and cheered but before he knew what he was doing he was walking. Not out of the circle toward his friends but right toward Via holding her eyes as best he could through the crowd when he finally reached her he wrapped an arm around her waist and boldly planted a kiss on her lips before breaking it and smiling before muttering.
"Sorry didn't quite think about that until now." He said backing away and turning to leave to find his friends as Hestia now a bit startled began the ceremony.

House of Night: Resurgence

Hestia grinned at the crowd of people gathering in the Temple. The large marble floored room was nearly filled to bursting with Fledglings and students alike. Shortly before the start of the ceremony Hestia noticed a young couple walk in and recognized them as the school flirt Vianna Night and the generalized white knite of the school Jackson McQueen Both were well known but never interacted and yet here she was hanging on his arm turning all the heads away from her. So the little tramp thinks she can steal my spotlight by hooking up with someone unexpected hmm? she thought slipping out of the trench coat she wore to reveal the skintight Black satin dress she wore that looked more like fancy lingere than a dress before walking right up to the pair of them.
"Oh Vianna how lovely for you to find yourself such an attractive mate." she said warmly though here eyes must have betrayed her because Jackson hesitated a moment before speaking.
"Well Hestia we actually aren't together I was just escorting her to the ceremony and I'm sure she'll be finding her friends here shortly. he said with a smile to his mentor. "Oh how rude of me. Via This is my mentor who I now realize you already know." he added blushing ever so slightly.
"Oh Jackson dear you don't need to be embarrassed about being polite I appreciate you introducing me. In fact my singer for the Ceremony dropped out and the song he had planned while not fitting to the ceremony I think you might enjoy performing. Are you interested?" she offered.
"Sure what song is it?"
"A song called Hallelujah by a vampyre rock band called Panic! At the Disco" she said making Jackson grin.
"Absolutely I love that song. Though I don't know how well I'll do." he said nervous looking to Via.
"Oh dear I'm sure you'll do wonderfully. I did hear you in the stables that one night remember." Jackson scratched the back of his head nervously remembering the night he had gone through a good three songs before he noticed Hestia watching.
"I guess You're right." He said before turning to Via after Hestia walked away with a smug grin on her face. "Wanna meet up after the ceremony? Maybe catch a movie in one of the Dorms?" Jackson asked nervously. He guessed at this point he was asking her out and the idea scared him a bit.

House of Night: Resurgence

Jackson grinned as he walked toward her stopping next to her and extending his arm to her while gesturing to the door with the other. With a chuckle he looked to her and said.
"Shall we go them m'lady?" Jacky held his seemingly arrogant half smile and his brown eyes seemed to sparkle with interest and fun.

House of Night: Resurgence

Jackson's hands reached out when she tripped catching her. AS she apologized he chuckled.
"No worries Via." He said before noticing her hand on his chest. Was she really flirting or was this just coincidence. That was the moment he became acutely aware of his hands resting on her hips. Standing up a bit straighter he smiles again. "Sorry for the hand placement there best way to catch you I guess." he said with a small chuckle as he let his hands fall to his sides.

Kaito perked up hearing about Sora.
"Wait is she out? How is that possible?" he said looking to Maktane. Getting up and crossing over to him he wrapped his friend in a hug and after a few seconds pulled back.
"I guess we can think of this as a good thing. Shes out that means someones figured out a way to get her out without killing her and we have all the more reason to fight to get out so you two can be together." he said with a small smile. Looking back toward the table he jumps slightly remembering Mira sitting there.
"Oh pardon me. Maktane, This is Mira we ran into each other, quite literally, in the market and well I invited her here to meet you guys." he said gesturing to the girl there at the table.
