(((All students appart from Rachelle and Damon {who're in a tree} are in their tents, and the mentors are just outside Decon's tent, getting ready to go in and have a conference. Gunther and Decon are the only ones so far that know about Cassandre {the lead PDM} and her two sisters, but decon's planning on telling them. Rachelle and Damon don't realize that they need to be in their tents because that's the only place the Mentors can protect them during the night- when Cassandre's powers are strongest- so that's why their outside when no one else is. I think that's pretty much it... )))
Rachelle nodded. "I... understand. I know what you're talking about. I- I know, and believe me, I know what kind of pain it is. To have a family member, your only family member, treat you like a speck of dirt on their shoe. Worse than a speck of dirt, really, because they don't just ignore you. I know what it's like to have someone always wanting to hurt you. Always glaring at you. To be afraid to go to sleep or close your eyes or come home after school- on the days they let you go, that is. I cannot blame you for what you've made yourself into. I know, I understand, and-," She brushed the tear from her cheek and wrapped her arms around her legs, which were pulled up to her chest. She looked at Damon when she was sure her eyelashes and cheeks were dry. She couldn't do much about her glassey eyes, though. "And I'm sorry."
