((Really long post here XD Sorry in advance... I got carried away! And I obviously didn't pre-write it in the back of English when the teacher was being boring XD (we write on our laptops in school)))

Damien made a face, something that he wouldn't normally do. "You say that like I made her go, she was quite happy to burn the place down and refused to let me go with her."
Damien looked up at the door, hearing Solitude’s footsteps; no other person he knew of had a slight limp when stepping onto their left foot. The slight limp was a result of the curse mark that had been put on her ankle. Damien tapped his desk to get Caia’s attention quickly. He took a small box with a button on it from his pocket, “Press that button, in exactly two minutes. Okay?” He didn’t wait for an answer; he just took off his glasses and handed them over too. He didn’t need his glasses anymore since his eyes and the veins visible under his skin were slowly going gold as he tapped into his powers.

2:00 to go...
Damien’s office door opened, and Solitude stepped through, launching a dagger through the air aimed at Damien’s head. Damien ducked and turned with a roar that sounded a bit like that of a dragon. The knife embedded in the back of the chair where he’d been moments before and he jumped out of the window behind him, sending glass shattering to the floor. Solitude raced over and vaulted over the desk, following Damien out of the window.
1:55 to go...
After a few silent seconds there was a very loud roar and a very familiar dragon shot upwards, flapping its wings madly while the two window jumping lunatics clung to its back. Solitude was shrouded in dark smoke that shone like an oil slick whenever light hit it, she was activating her demonic aura. Damien was surrounded in similar smoke, yet it was golden instead of black. The dragon was heading towards the huge expanse of ocean over the cliff. Solitude was attempting to get closer to Damien so she could stab him with her sword; Damien was attempting to hold on. Solitude teleported over to Damien and a dragon’s tail went smacking into her shoulder causing her to fall backwards and then teleport back onto the dragon as Damien dived into the sea below. For some reason, it sounded like Damien was singing...
1:40 to go...
Solitude followed Damien into the murky water, and grabbed Damien’s collar, pushing him under and trying to drown him. The water around the teachers was churning with a variety of fins, tails and flippers and seven girls surfaced in a circle around Solitude bearing fangs. The mermaids swarmed and attempted to grab Solitude and the teacher screamed as the water around her went red with blood. Damien surfaced, gasping for air, not far away, two mermaids pulling him away while their sisters attacked Solitude.
1:15 to go...
Damien choked the water out of his lungs and roared something at the dragon circling in the sky above him. The dragon sank down to wrap it’s tail around Damien’s waist and then it launched off into the air.
1:00 to go...
Solitude had teleported herself to grab onto the dragons back and was clinging onto the dragon’s scales as she swung her sword towards Damien. She was covered in a variety of cuts and there was a particularly nasty looking one from her knee all the way to her ankle. The dragon flicked its tail out, sending Damien spiralling upwards with a yell.
0:45 to go...
Damien started squawking loudly as he began to fall towards an early death and the forest around Horia suddenly was alive with similar squawks as thousands of birds flew towards Damien and enveloped him in feathers.
0:40 to go...
Miraculously the group of birds seemed to be slowing the teacher’s descent and he managed to get to the floor with no broken bones. Damien stood up, and raced into the woods as Solitude teleported a few feet behind him, and started firing shots from a pistol at him.
0:35 to go...
Solitude tackled Damien and, after a lot of struggling, she punched him in the stomach and pressed a knife to his throat, causing a few beads of blood to weal up and drip down the silver blade. He grimaced and Solitude seemed to grin at the pain she was causing Damien.

((Oh look! There's that dragon I've been hearing so much about.))

.* Caia Grey *.

Caia looked from the box, to the glasses, and then back at Damien quizzically. "Ah, okay. Two minutes...why?"

Luckily (or unluckily) for her, the question was answered in a relatively simple way. Caia turned as the door open, and then things happened so quickly that she was barely able to move to the side in time for Solitude to jump out the window after Damien. After a few seconds of startled shock, Caia checked the clock. 'That was about...eight seconds?' Caia thought as she heard and saw the dragon fly past the window. Caia ran towards the now broken window and threw it open, watching the dragon fly away and keeping a mental countdown in the back of her mind.

"So I get the honorary job of pushing a button while he gets to battle with a dragon." Despite the situation, Caia sighed in disappointment. "And him not a fan of fighting. Dang it, I want a dragon." Caia hadn't seen the dragon in a very long time, so she had kind of forgotten it was actually Damien's. It was impressive, really. There was usually a certain degree of mutual respect involved when taming a dragon, and it says a lot for the person who tames one. She smiled slightly. Damien was a lot more remarkable than he usually lets on.

Caia winced as Damien was thrown into the air, only to breathe in relief as he was caught by the birds of the forest. That's right, he was able to speak to them. Her heart had skipped a beat for a moment.

Now, Caia couldn't see anything. She tapped her fingers on the box, glancing down at the button as she reached 25 seconds. That was ten whole seconds of nothing. 'Damien better not have died.' She thought, a bit angrily. After leaving her here without another word, he'd better not die. She expected him alive and well so she could chew him out when he came back. 'If he did die, I'll find his ghost, and I'll kill it. That is... if he becomes a ghost. I sure hope he does.'

Caia started to pace when she reached ten seconds. Whatever was happening in the forest was staying in the forest. Instead of holding this forsaken box, whatever it did, she wanted to go to the stupid forest. She could just press the button early, but Damien specifically said two minutes. Two minutes might actually be important. That's why, when Caia reached zero, she pressed the button hard and tossed it aside. Looking out the window, she considered jumping out of it as a shortcut, but decided she was better with her body intact. Instead, she ran out the office door.

Of all times to actually need Trinity's teleportation, it had to be now, when she was a killing machine.

Damien's dragon had been the one that had knocked Solitude out of the way before she had the chance to kill Damien, though not before Damien had taken a cut across his throat and a bullet in his shoulder. Neither were deep enough to cause too much blood loss and the bullet had only nicked at the flesh in his shoulder. Solitude had disappeared soon after, teleporting back to the tunnels just before Caia had pressed the button on the device Damien had given to her.

The dragon was the first one to notice that the button Caia had pressed was the lockdown button for the school, since when it aimed a blast of fire at Solitude, the fire hit an invisible shield. The dragon was now sulkily outside the perimeter for the lockdown, pacing and roaring at the teacher surrounded by a rapidly fading gold aura.

Damien turned and gave a roar to the dragon, he was sat just inside the perimeter and had been attempting to get Solitude on the outside and himself on the inside. That had failed when he'd been shot in the shoulder and she'd sent a shock of demonic energy at him. The window jumping lunatic of a headteacher, that was obviously a bad role model for the kids groaned and stumbled to his feet. A hand was pressed to his shoulder as blood stained his shirt; the other hand was covering the cut at his throat. He was soaked wet from his ‘swim’ and covered in a multitude of scars, scratches and cuts from his perfectly timed adventure. Anyone would think he’d planned it.

He looked up when the dragon roared something at him. Damien had already lost his heightened senses the remainder of his energy was swirling around the floor near his feet and he was waiting for Caia so he'd actually be able to see what he was doing. The dragon roared again until Damien replied and then disappeared off into the woods. The dragon had told Damien that Caia was probably going to show up and punch him and Damien had agreed that that was the most likely thing to happen.

.* Caia Grey *.

Sprinting as fast as possible, through a school full of students, and not slowing down was harder than Caia realized. Sure, adrenaline was helping quite nicely, but the campus was pretty big, and Damien had conveniently fallen a good distance away from his office. She raced past groups of students and staff, leaving no time for any of them to ask questions or complain when she knocked them over. Breathing heavily, Caia nearly broke the door as she swung it open, pausing for a moment while scanning the outside. When she saw nothing too dangerous, she began running towards the forest.

It didn't take too long to find Damien, especially since Caia searched for him through his body temperature. He was actually not far from the forest border, and when she did find him she had to lean against a tree to regain her breath. The air temperature flucuated from hot to cold as Caia dealt with her anger, trying to wrestle it down unsuccessfully. As her lungs and heart calmed down, Caia stepped towards Damien, prepared to give him all her rage in a fist. She noticed his wounds, and worried about them, but it didn't help stem her anger. If anything, it fueled it. Caia considered it her most important duty to protect the people at Horia, and Damien was one of those people. She did not like being left behind to watch life and death being tossed about from a distance.

"Don't...do that again!" Caia shouted, giving a solid smack on the top of Damien's head before firmly setting his glasses on his face. She wanted to outright punch him, but a certain degree of holding back was in order. Crossly, Caia examined his wounds, paying the most interest to his neck. Satisfied that nothing screamed "fatal" at her, she wrapped the arm without the injured shoulder around her shoulders, positioning herself so that she could support his weight. "Let's go. I'm gong to let the nurses have a field day with you."

Damien didn't say anything as he felt the temperature change, not even when it got too hot to breathe at a few points. He watched as the blur walked over to him and then, "Ow!" Damien moved his hand off his shoulder to rub his head as the blurs swam into focus. he didn't really care that he'd gotten blood all in his hair since it was everywhere else. He winced a little at the shouting, "So, next time my sister storms into my office and throws a dagger at me, I let it hit me?" He choked up some seawater as he was pulled about by Caia. He looked like a kid again since he'd lost his jacket somewhere in the ocean and his tie had probably ended up being stolen by a bird.

His glasses slipped off his nose and he pushed them back on before wiping his mouth from the seawater. "Don't ever try sea water, it's disgusting." He grumbled like a teenager at the prospect of the annoying infirmary staff. "And, why am I not aloud to jump out of windows. You, Trinity and Cordell enjoy attacking demons. I need a hobby."

He turned his head when he heard a roar from the forest and then a series of squawks from the trees. He frowned slightly as more animal noises joined in the commotion, and rubbed his head, "One at a time!" The animal noises picked up again and Damien began to translate every animal language that he heard. "Ah- That's not good..." There was a series of noises in agreement. He shook his head, "Keep searching."

He turned to Caia as the animal noises died down, "Trinity's not in the forest, and she couldn't have teleported far with angelic powers affecting her, she's in the school. And you pressed the lock down button... I must have misjudged the time be a few seconds..." There was a roar from the forest, and Damien made a face, "No that isn't good."

.* Caia Grey *.

"I meant leaving me behind." Caia muttered under her breath, and ignored all his other remarks, especially the one about jumping out of windows. For a hobby, he could do better. She walked in silence with Damien in tow, wordlessly listening to the suddenly talkative forest and Damien's translations. As Caia finally broke free from the tree line, a few seconds after that intense roar, Caia turned to glare at Damien. "What's not good? What could possibly be worse than having Trinity/Solitude loose in the school?"

"Well next time I feel like jumping out of windows, I'll tell you. But first I need to know if you have the ability to protect against a demonic aura while calling up a load of birds to stop you falling to impending doom?" He then translated the dragon's roaring, he had a habit of forgetting not everyone could speak with animals since he'd been talking to them all his life. "Trinity's curse mark is completely activated. I was a bit busy to notice. She's Solitude completely now, and there's not a spark of humanity inside her. By fully active, that means it's going to take a lot more than just my power to break it. We need an actual angel... And Trinity doesn't get on well with angels, they try to kill her on sight... And, she would have killed me by now easily, but she didn't so she wanted the lock down online... Whatever she's planning - we're trapped in here with it."

((Have fun!

Lunaananannaaaa, Lars and Leon tried to kill Angela and she's locked Lars in a room and is sat outside it but she doesn't know Leon's coming to find her. Damien and Trinity had an epic fight with a dragon and then Caia told Damien off. And the school is under lockdown... BRING OUT THE ZOMBIES!))

[LunaSoul]

(So much... things I don't like about being gone all day T^T well... ok... should Kage come find Angela...? And is it Akuma that has to bring out the zombie like peeps?)

[Placebo Effect]

((Lol nah I think Kage should be more interested in the dragon that's just been flying around in the air with two teachers shooting guns at each other on its back... I mean it's not like it cause a commotion XD I'll send Solitude to Akuma ~))

She was bleeding, pretty badly. Cuts ran across her arms, legs and torso, "I hate mermaids." She was soaking wet and both sea water and blood was dripping to the floor as she appeared in the tunnels, stumbling slightly. There was a huge cut from ankle to knee that was causing her to loose blood pretty fast and even though she wouldn't admit it she was close to falling unconscious.

She looked around the room to find Lucinda sleeping in the corner, her ghostly body fading in and out as she slept. She spun, switching her gaze around the room until she found Akuma. "I sorted the lock down. I also shot Damien with a bullet." She wasn't really bothered about the reaction she was just waiting for the girl to acknowledge that she was back. "I need you to put the marks on the humans and turn them into The Affected." She offered a hand out for Akuma to take so she could teleport Akuma.
