Aidah • Phoenix

"Don't yell at me!" Aidah said, standing up straight. The one thing that really set her off and out of her 'cool zone' as she referred to it, was anger. Aidah Hall was calm. Aidah Hall didn't show emotion unless there was a need. In a situation where she was being pressed for answers, Aidah didn't have the capacity to both calmly watch and assess for need. "Just, I can't explain it! Based on the suddenness of your departure, and your defensive attitude, my conjecture is that...is that..." Aidah started to mumble, looking down at her hands. With her flying emotions, and her crazy impulse to follow her gut rather than her mind, Aidah's powers couldn't take it. Her hands were literally smoking, little flames burning on her fingers. She clenched her fists hiding them in the pocket of her hoodie. The corner they had stopped on was now void of people, a little alley off from the main street. Aidah felt angry, but she didn't want to show it. She hated herself for getting involved in something so strange and out of the ordinary on her first day at the school. She took a deep breath, staring at Kaden. "People don't just run off like that. I don't know you, and you have no reason to know or trust me, but trust what I'm saying as the truth. People don't just run off like that because they want to. They run off because they have to, and, believe me, I've had to." Aidah felt the flames on her hand grow larger, singing the inside of her sweatshirt for the second time that morning. She didn't know if these people were in the same boat as her, or if she had totally misjudged and this was just some normal teenage girl crisis. But she had to try. Aidah was done hiding in the background.

Althaia Hilton ● 17 ● Black Bird ● Female

Behind Kaden, Althaia groaned, whimpering. Her body was reaching a high temperature and she had next to no time. Letting go of Kaden, she pulled away, not looking back. Kaden had blocked her from something, but the sound of the voice, it was Aidah. As she started to run, she could smell, smoke? She didn't concentrate on that though and covering her Crimson eye she stumbled away.

As Althaia ran, she slipped, falling onto her side. Groaning she turned her head to see what had tripped her. 10 long claws poked through her shoes. Groaning, she slide the claws back in and got to her feet. Striding over the hand prints she had burnt into the concrete, she started to run out of the alley, only one though going through her mind, 'I need to get home'

Kaden Lange :: Mockingbird

With heightened senses and thoughts and questions flying through his head at 100 miles an hour, Kaden snapped. He could feel his skin crawling, begging to shift, to change, and hide his identity, to run from his emotions, but he stood strong. He breathed through his nose, willing his heart rate to slow down. Thaia let go of him and ran, and he knew letting her run off was a bad idea, but he waiting for Aidah to explain herself. The scent of burning cotton distracted him, and Kaden realized Aidah was on fire, her sweater singed. His mind told him not to panic though. That this was okay, and a wave of sudden calmness wafted over him. His determination though did not dwindle.

"Breathe through your nose, put that out, we're not safe here." He pulled his jacket off and handed it to her gingerly, softness in his eyes. He needed to assure her very quickly that they were on the same page. Looking over his shoulder to see Thaia turn a corner and trip, Kaden lead Aidah, jogging after the stumbling girl. He grabbed Thaia's waist and pulled her arm over his shoulders, helping her stand as he knew she was struggling. "How far is your home?"

Aidah Hall • Phoenix

Aidah took the jacket warily, breathing through her nose as Kaden had said. She wasn't totally sure that she was ready to trust Kaden, but at the moment, it didn't look like she had the choice. But what really blew Aidah's mind about this whole situation was that he had seen the flame, and he didn't care. He had even tried to help her. That right there told Aidah that this was not a normal problem. School could wait. She could feel the burning sensation in her hands snuff out, and, pulling the jacket over her singed sweater, chased after Althaia and Kaden. Rain was starting to fall, making Aidah jump. She didn't like water at all. It made her feel weak and heavy, like she could barely move. As it was only a few raindrops, Aidah decided to ignore the feeling. But one glance at the dreary grey sky told her that more was coming. And she did not want to be outside when it did. Seeing Kaden supporting Thaia, Aidah ran to catch up, grabbing the girl's other arm. Aidah shivered inside. Whatever caused her abilities, at least it was something that Aidah had moderate control over. It didn't hurt when Aidah conjured a flame. This girl's...powers? Was it okay to call them that? Whatever they were, they acted almost like a mutation. Aidah's was intrigued, but at the moment, she didn't have time to study it. They needed to get Althaia somewhere safe, and the streets of New York were the exact opposite.

When the girl she tried talking to barely answered, Serena dragged herself into her classroom when a girl ran out and a male followed her. Serena turned to look at Arin, who nodded. They both got up and ran out of the classroom, much against the teacher's protests.
"What do you think that was all about?" she asked Arin.
"I have absolutely no clue. Maybe she had a panic attack...?" he replied, slightly panting from the running through the halls and out the door. It was still drizzling, but she could smell a faint burning scent. Serena followed the vague scent, knowing that wasn't a campfire.

Arin followed Serena into the classroom and almost sat down when a girl ran past him, followed closely by a guy. Serena looked at him, and Arin nodded. Everyone was a bit strange here, and it wasn't like they've skipped school before. Together, they ran out of the classroom, and the teacher yelled at them. Arin yelled, "Sorry!" back at her before enetering the hallway.They burst through the doors into the drizzling rain.
"What do you think that was all about?" Serena asked him.
"I have absolutely no clue. Maybe she had a panic attack...?" Arin told Serena. She then made this face that showed something sour. Serena started running, and he trusted her to follow without questions.

(I don't think I want to get caught up and then lost in the big group so I'm just going to reply to shadowcat. Also, sorry I was so inactive I've been having exams all week but I'm done with them now.)

Blake Alexander Knight || Human || Aspen
Blake smiled and hesitated before speaking again. "My dad had to leave us when I was younger. I don't really talk about him too much. My sister never talks about it and gets upset whenever he is brought up. She knows something I don't about that." He was careful not to say his dad was arrested as that would make it seem like he came from a bad family. "In fact we try not to talk about our family too often as it has always been a touchy subject." Alex wasn't too emotional about this unless they went into detail and talked about it for too long. He just knew not to bring it up around Nessie because she had gotten really emotional about it.

Althaia Hilton ● 17 ● Black Bird ● Female

Althaia pulled her arms from the grip of the other two, and looked away apologetically. "Not far" she said, her breath coming short and fast, "but we have to jog" she said, taking off at a fast pace. A million thoughts were running through her brain, and above all she was scared and very confused. Smoke filled her sensitive nostrils, making her snort slightly.

Thaia ran ahead of the two, covering the last few blocks to her building. As she reached the door, the doorman opened the glass twin doors, allowing the trio to run inside. The receptionist, Betty, looked up from her magazine, her large dangling earrings swinging. "Thaia! How you doing girl?" she asked through her chewing gum. Althaia ignored her and sprinted to the elevator, ushering the other to inside. Betty sighed, chewing her gum, "that girls always in a hurry" she mumbled going back to her magazine.

Once inside the elevator, Althaia stood stock still, nodding in the direction of the top right corner of the elevator, "cameras" she said softly, reaching out and pressing the 30th floor button. She twitched, closing her eyes, her face contorted in a look of total pain. It took all her self control to not move. She was standing in the middle of the elevator, her hands were far too hot to touch the railing, for they would leave prints. A small gasp of pain escaped her mouth and a few stray tears escaped her tightly shut eyes. The elevator seemed to be moving painstakingly slow.

The second the doors opened she pushed out. The 30th floor had offices, storage areas and right across the hall, a gilded elevator. Below the up button was a key hole. Crying and with small screams escaping her lips, Thaia pulled her gilded key from her pocket and turned it inside the keyhole, making the up button light up. When the doors opened she ran inside the elevator, pocketing the slightly steaming key. This elevator lead up to the 31st, 32nd and 33rd floors, all of which belonged to the Hiltons and could only be accessed with special keys.

Kaden Lange :: Mockingbird

Kaden let Thaia slip from his support. He wanted to help her, but he couldn't deny that her heat was burning him slightly. Of course he knew she didn't mean to, and it was his own fault for propping her up on his shoulder in the first place. "Thaia," He whispered as they started jogging, glancing behind the group, "I think we're being followed." He recognized the form of two teenagers, though he wasn't sure who they were. He prayed they didn't notice or recognize them as they weaved in and out of dozens of people.

As they ran into the lobby of an extravagant apartment complex, Kaden couldn't help but slow down a touch to look up and take it all in. He had never stepped foot inside such a rich building, and marveled at the decor and lavish of the place. A doorman and a receptionist and, was that a marble floor? This place was top-end. He nodded to the woman at the desk politely, flashing her a quick smile to apologize for their rushing, and piled into the elevator. He glanced up as Althaia pointed out the security camera, making sure not to look suspicious. He leaned against the wall, holding onto the handrail for support. So many things were happening so fast, and Kaden was frightened. But he had to keep it together for these two.

Althaia was at her breaking point though. Her tears and whimpers pained Kaden to no end. He didnt understand what was happening and he couldnt help her and he felt useless. "Thaia please," He whispered, but was cut off as the elevator door slid open and they hustled toward another. "Here, let me..." Kaden offered to help, noticing how pained Thaia was just trying to unlock the door, but she was stubbornly determined, and she did it herself. As they stood in silence again, Kaden tried to break it.

"Althaia, what is going on?" He asked in a low voice, bowing his head, begging for information, any little clue or hint as to what was happening, anything telling him what to do or how to help. He was out of ideas, but his heart shattered every time she yelped or whined, and every tear that fell down her cheeks, another one formed in his own eyes. Kaden blinked them back though, knowing these were not his tears to shed. He was not the one in blistering pain.

Althaia Hilton ● 17 ● Black Bird ● Female

"It hurts" She whispered as the elevator slid upwards. She turned to look him right in the eyes, as she did, the other contact lense curled up and fell from her eye, revealing her other crimson iris. "I promise" she whispered, tears of pain flowing freely from her eyes, staining her flushed cheeks "that I'll explain it all". As she finished her sentence, the elevator door slid open with a ding. The bottommost floor of the Hilton's residence was split into 5 sections. The biggest space was a lab and office for her father and mother which took up about half the floor, the other four rooms were for the rest of the family, with Althaia's room being the biggest after the lab. It contained gym equipment, a large television with xbox and wii, high tec computer system, small lab and a couch area with a daybed, in case she fell asleep down there.

Stumbling out of the elevator, she knew she didn't have long before she involuntarily transformed, she knew she cold only with hold for a few minutes longer. She ran down the corridor, tripping multiple times from exhaustion, sweat beading on her forehead, arms and legs, she was also steaming slightly. Finally she reached her room. Althaia pulled the keys from her pocket with a shaky and hot hand. She put the key in the keyhole and turned it. Thaia feel through the door onto the fireproof carpet in the 'study'. She crawled along the ground, screams escaping her lip. Reaching her desk, she pulled out one of the drawers completely, and shuffled through it. Thaia pulled a steel brief case from the mess and threw it to the ground, she also threw the keys in the same direction. Althaia collapsed to the ground shaking in pain, through chapped lips she managed to gasp, "open it--green needle"

Inside the brief case was something she had been working on for a while now. There were three green and three purple needles in the brief case. Thaia needed a green one inserted in her arm, but even she was not sure it would work.

Aspen Layve|17|Tagged; Blake|School|No Crush
Aspen's smile slowly faded as he continued to speak. She now felt bad for mentioning anything about her own family, thinking it may just make Blake feel even worse for not really having one. "Oh. I'm sorry" She said. Her voice was quiet but she tried not to sound to sad. Hearing things that happen to other people always make her feel sad. "Your always welcome to come over and visit with my family, though my brothers can be a burden at times" Aspen offered a small smile following the statement. She wasn't exactly sure why she would offer someone to come over and meet her family when she had known him for only about ten minutes, but sometimes Aspen can be a little to courteous. "Well um do you happen to know when classes start? I would really like to check out the science lab before the bell rings" She said, mainly just to get the subject off of family. She glanced around the now more empty main room. She wasn't even sure where all of the students had gone off to.

[Not exactly sure what is happening outside of my little conversation, but when do classes start. Also is anyone open for Adam?]
