Shadowsblade: Fighting The Calm Before The Storms To Come. free porn video

Saturday February 24 11:10 pm Arkham Research Consortium My port from Nikki's house ends at the rather long and beautiful access road leading to ARC. I had just barely seen this spot, from the first days after my change from the complex's cafeteria we all ate in one night. I at that time thought to escape into the woods and leave all this behind. But my trust in Sara at the time was so great, that at her slight instance....I did not leave. Perhaps in the light of what has happened to me in this short time since my change, or rebirth to now? I should have left and be done with all this! I think to myself 'I am a little early? I did tell Bill that I would come here at One in the morning? But I am sure they will find something to poke me with till he shows!' As I start the short walk towards the main gate and just notice that one of the guards has already spotted me coming towards him. He stands there watching me, from inside a huge guard shack...complex...with even larger gates and walls around it. That guard, as I walk closer to the gates. Finally comes out of his nice warm shelter and starts to question me. He seems most surprised, that a young girl is out in the freezing cold way out here and is only wearing a pair of jeans, t-shirt and a hoodie sweat top with a evil 'hello kitty' printed on it! "Miss?" he yells at me from his just exiting the guard shack "Do you need help? Your car broken down?" "No I am just fine. I have an appointment to see Dr Otto? Or Bill Varney" I inform him, as I exit the shadows of the long road behind me and toward him into the light from the entrance gate area. "Well it's just a little late for...." he trails off his statement, as I finally get fully into the light and he sees me clearly. When he sees me, he reacts nearly instantly, his hand drops to his holster and his stance takes on a very offensive one at me. Then I hear on both sides of the road and see via my wider than normal vision. Two large gun turrets slide up out of the concrete at the edges of the large road and the guns within them slew to aim at me. After that is all done, I say rather cheery "Well I like night visits more and they said I can come when I wanted too?" and I end smiling at him. "Miss? What are you?" "Me? I am a elf! Why should a elf walking out of a dark forest at night be strange to you?" When I said 'elf' it pained me...but I had to try and be friendly? "Okay? But I have to see your ID?" "Fine?" I say back, as I pull my ID from a hoodie pocket and via my ether storage. I did not want to do that action in the open and alarm him farther. "Will this do?" I ask as I step forward....slowly and hand it to him. He takes that last few hesitant steps to me and takes the offered card. Then pulls a computer pad off the leg of his pants and I note the sound of Velcro tearing as he removed it. With it swiped on it, he hands it back to me. As he waits for the pad to do it's work, he asks me "Don't you feel cold? It's like five below out tonight!" "Me? Why no...we Elves don't feel any of natures wrath, unlike you humans do?" "Well that is a nice thing to have!" as he was about to say more the pad beeped at him and he read it. After he did, he tapped the pad a little and all the guns lowered back into the ground. "Well miss, you do have an appointment and Mr. Varney is coming right up! So do you want to come inside...it's warmer!" He asks me, as more of his breath hangs in the cold air as a fog. "No I want to wait outside." He glances at me strangely and nods to me "Fine I will wait with you." As we stand there, I can see that he is more than cold and shivering in the cold breeze blowing up the canyon at us both. My mind inwardly giggles at his pain, yet I feel a pang of kindness and offer to him with a sigh "Go inside...it's too cold for a human out here. Me, I want to stay out as long as I can...your human buildings and ARC's deep complex...I don't like them at all." With a small nod, he opens the armored door to his booth and walks in. After he does, I watch him and his watch mate talk. As I do, I am sure the other one called him a 'pussy' for not standing out in the cold with me. I have to snicker at that. A few minutes later, a large Passenger van drives up and Bill hops out into the cold and smiles at me "Hey YOU!" he shouts and gives me a wave. "NO That's 'HEY YOU senior!" I jest back at him. He talks to the head of the guard shack and gives him a card. He swipes it and then waves to the door of a long empty hallway that leads through the guard shack and beyond. Once I am in, the door closes and locks behind me. Then my senses, feel waves of 'humans tech' as they wash over me and then followed by a wave of magic. After the wave of magic hits me, warning lights flash and even more bolts slide into the doors to hold them inplace! The guard then shrieks at me "You're not alone in there!" "ME?" I question him. Bill looks at me through the window with more than surprise on his face and some knowing too, as he asks "Is Violet with you?" I nod to him "She goes where I do.....and there is NO other option from now on!" I say more than firmly. "Humm" he sounds out then he turns to the guard "Let her in....she has a small Fae friend with her, one that she will not part with." "The pass only states her, not any guests?" "Pass them both on my word?" "Can't" the guard shrugs to him. "BILL!" I shout at them all "It's either me going into ARC or the door to the outside opening now! I will not stay in this box!" "Please...pass her through. She can't stand tight small places like that for too long?" "She has to stay till cleared?" "BILL!....NOW!" I warn even more, as my anger at being trapped grows by the second. "Well then, let her back out till we get it?" "Can't, she entered...till she is cleared. The doors stay locked?" When I hear that...I lose it "NO fucking way! I am not staying in here! I have rights and I am leaving NOW! OPEN this OR I DO!" my now growing redder eyes warn Bill. Then I run to the exit door leading to the outside and its long drive. My balled fist hits the door hard and I glare back at the two guards and Bill. "Guys! please let her out? She can not stand enclosed places at all!" Bill pleads with them again. He knows that I will not stand for this madness for too long, since I gained my freedom back from here. The first guard I met outside, has a quick discussion with the other guard who is in charge. As Bill waits outside and me trapped inside that hallway! "Hey she did say that to me. That is why she stood outside in the cold. So lets get her out of there? As she looks like she is starting to freak out a bit." as he says that, my balled fist hits the door even harder to emphasize the point! "Okay...just this once and only because she did tell you that" the other guard sighs, with a push of a button on his panel, the door pops open to the long driveway and the forest beyond. When the door opens with a bang, I run out and lean against the building to calm myself down. One of my thoughts is to 'just leave and to hell with all this!' But I made a promise to do this and I might need this income it makes for me? Bill passes through the inspection hallway as fast as he can and comes out to comfort me. "Hey it's all right...they just don't know you like I do?" "Bill...this has to get fixed" my voice says in labored breaths, as I try my best to remain calm "Or I can't come here anymore?" Bill gives comforting rubs on my back, as I lean over my knees and breath deeply. He says softly to me "I or doc Otto will fix this for sure!" "I hope so?" Then the phone in the booth rings and the head guard picks it up, to hear a screaming voice coming at him "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! That is my Drow you are messing with!" "But Doctor Otto? she has an unauthorized magic organism with her?" "Well what is it?" "Please let me ask, as the scan just barely picked up on it?" the guard tells him. Then the guard talking to Otto, He waves and taps on the armored glass to get Bill to come on into the booth. As Bill enters, he yells at the guards in a harsh tone "So what now!" "Otto on the line for you...sir?" he says and points at a phone mounted on the wall, with one lit line showing. Bill snatches the phone off the cradle "Ya doc?" he asks in a angry tone. "What is going on Bill? What Fae creature does Rohanna have with her?" "It's a pixie, about a foot tall and she does not go anywhere without it now?" "Humm the magic scans scarcely picked it up? Strange that is? But is it a hazard?" the doc asks. "To tell ya the truth...I don't think so? But then think doc? Name something about Rohanna that is not dangerous or a hazard? But I have met the creature...and she is feisty. Just like Rohanna, but she does listen to her orders with no question! I can vouch for that!" "Okay...I will let the Fae Pixie in. Then enter it in the system as a familiar of her's. Thanks Bill, please tell her?" "Got it doc. But soon, you might what to talk to her and give her reasons why all the nastiness the last time? Or she might forget about coming here ever again?" "I will...when I next see her. But tell her to have the pixie visible and we can let her in?" "Done....cya doc." Just after Bill hangs up the phone, the computer screen gets updated on my information. 'One Familiar---Pixie' then, information on creature to be added later' Once the head guard reads all that, he waves to Bill to come over and see "Well the doc updated it all and we can let her in now. Just give her this ID for ARC and she is in. Make sure she displays it at all times and the familiar stays with her! As it can get hurt here, if it wonders off!" Bill nods to him and takes the offered card. As I watch Bill walk out of the shack, he can see he has a new lanyard with him and a large card hangs from it. When he gets to me, he hands it to me "Here is your ID and Violet has to stay with you at all times and visible...for her safety. As ARC has some very nasty thing that deal with escaping.....things? If you get my drift?" I am about to toss it into storage when Bill warns me "Nope...you have to wear it at all times. You know you don't like that? But it's the rules." "FINE! I will bear the dog collar!" But first I check to see what magic is on it and only find a faint, weak 'tracing spell' One that my storage will block when I place it there. "Bill?" I ask as I place it on my neck "You do know this is magic?" "Really? Never thought about it...till now?" "You should? It can hurt you if used wrong?" "This?" "Nope...but it can be a base for a rather nasty spell....if they want to?" "Hummm...but lets go in" and he waves his arm at the door "And please tell Violet to show herself...before we go in?" "Violet? please do as the humans ask. We are in their world now and their rules are the ones we have to obey?" At my request, Violet fades into sight on my shoulder. I can see she is not happy AT ALL! She is growling a little at the guards standing in their window looking out at us as we pass by them. After I see she is done, with both her becoming visible and growling! I go to the door to the entrance hallway....but hesitate as my hand touches the door's push plate "Is it going to lock on me this time?" "Yes...but it will open. I promise." "For you Bill, as I trust you" and I go in. The door closes, locks, the scans are done on me as I walk the long hallway. Then the other far door, it unlocks and opens for me, as I near it. As I walk the hallway to the other door, the guards glare at Violet and comment on her. "She looks like a cute...but living Barbie doll?" one says out and I can hear it via speaker in the wall. "Ya but with wings and armor?" the head guard comments back to him. Once I am out into the ARC side of the wall, I wait for Bill to pass through the lock system and after he is done. He guides me to the waiting passenger van. We both hop in and it drives us toward the main complex, a mile off from the front gates. "Well Bill? What's the plan for tonight?" I ask him as I glance out the windows or the van. "All of it again!" he laughs "Everything you did that last time you were here." "But since everyone at Nikki's was in bed? I thought to get this over with as soon as I could? I did come in a little early, is that a problem?" "No problem. The doc thought, I should be in early just incase and has me in on a full Twenty four hour shift...that started at nine tonight." "Owwch Bill? I am sorry about that?" "No reason to be sorry? I get all that in overtime! AND I get paid more when you are here!" "Ohh great to hear! Maybe I will show up even more, so as to get you paid even higher? Or ask Otto to give you a raise?" "Already got one for this thank you! That bump in pay...is paying for the wedding and my new car!" "Wow that much?" "Yes...I get paid almost as much as the doc that worked on you....danger pay" he laughs. "Me? dangerous? I can't hurt you? AND never will!" He fingers his lips "Shhhhhh"...."don't tell them that!" he whispers to me with a evil grin "I can do that!" The Van stops at the main building and we walk off inside. At the elevator down I hesitate again "I hate this part" I say with a sigh. "Yes I can guess....but this time you can get out, when you want to!" After the long trip down, Bill leads me to the labs again. Then the whole process starts! Blood work, MRI , X-rays, CAT scans, eye test, hearing, and all the small things. Over three gut wrenching and boring hours later. Bill decides I have had enough and takes me up to the cafeteria for a break. As we both walk down a long hallway, back to the elevators to go up to the surface. I notice the guards have guns? But Bill my escort, he is unarmed and can't help me out or protect me or himself, if this place chooses to go against me? "Bill?" I ask him and stop just short of the elevator doors "I want you armed when your with me?" "Why.....you're not dangerous?" "Not for me... but to stop them, if when they run a test on me and go too far? I don't trust this place? Something here bothers me....badly." "Well I would think so...this place is filled with evil things. Alive and not..or other?" "I still want you to have a weapon....either you get one. Or use one of mine?" "Okay I will get a pistol from the armory as soon as I can." "No please...your own pistol, not one of theirs. I only use my weapons and trust them. So should you?" I pull that pistol, that I got when I was at Falk's place...the one from the goons I killed and hand it to him "Here take this...the last owner...he does not need it anymore?" "Where did you get this? he asks as he looks it over. "I have my ways" "Is it stolen?" "No....I acquired it" I say flatly. "Humm...no serial numbers and I think it never had them?" "I am sure it did not." "You know this gun is a felony to have." "Well then, give it back to me and please get another?" "No I will get this listed and use it...as you said. Then I will carry it from now on, but let me drop this off in my office?" After a short side trip to his....very tiny and NEW office. We get back to the cafeteria and order some food. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - Sunday February 25 2:15 am Outskirts of Boston Still smoldering wreckage of a small chancery of the church A large man all dressed in black shifts through the burnt building leftovers, what he is searching for seems uncertain. He lifts large beams that weigh hundreds of pounds with simple ease and drops them softly, so as not to make a sound. After sometime spent deep in searching, a small lady joins him and she waves intricate patterns with her hands over the path he makes. Some of the time she speaks in a language that definitely is not english. Then a regular looking man follows her making notes about what she has to say in a small notebook. After they all spend nearly an hour in search of something, but seeming to be yielding nothing? All of them file out to a large waiting bright white SUV, one that is made just to be a 'limo'...as the center section is far longer than normal. Both the large man and the lady get into a waiting black car, waiting just behind the SUV. The other man, the one with the notebook gets into the waiting SUV, sits in one of the rearward facing seats and once the door is closed he starts to talk. "Gothmog?" he almost questions the large man in the pristine white suite, that sits in the middle of the large back bench with a most beautiful woman on each side of him. "Go on with your report" the large man says in a cold tone. "It's Reverend Roberts again. I am sure this time, the tracer found his life essence all over the hidden room. But this time? She felt Mythos magic?" "So the reverend has gained a new friend? OR has given in to being used by one of us? Interesting? That must be why Rohanna said she could not teleport away from that mall with Donna? She said something 'old' was blocking her?" As he leans back to think, the SUV pulls away from the curb and five cars follow. ---------------------------------------- Sunday February 25 2:35 am South of Salem Older unused and near abandoned church that once was part of the underground railroad for slaves In one of the oldest unused subbasements, a man enters the main room via a hidden tunnel. In his arms is carried a long wooden box, that has beautiful carvings on the lid all made of gold. Once at the rooms center, he gently places the long box on the large table there and draws out a single key. A man already standing there, dressed in priestly garb, fishes a similar key from his pocket and a small piece of parchment. The carrier of the box, inserts one key in the twin keyed lock on the box and waits. The priest, reads off part of the parchment in a strange tongue and insets his key. He says one last part off the parchment and nods. Both men turn the keys at the same time and the box clicks.....but if one of the many men standing in the room, had magical vision? They would have seen a VERY large spell being canceled...one that could level the whole city block with it's power. Once the box is open, the messenger hands the key to the priest and walks away to go back down the tunnels. The priest, opens the lid slowly, then removes three layers of silk that have runes embroidered all over it's surface. Underneath the last layer, is a long bladed sword with many runes of magic carved in its length and it's color is black as night! The pommel is made of Mithril, with many runes of magic carved in it also and ends in a large black gem. "Magnificent!" the priest hisses "too bad it will be wasted on just the one Drow!" He then tilts the blade a little from the box and looks it over. As he does, he speaks to a shadow at the rooms edge "Come here my assassin and learn about your tool!" A small man, dressed in a leather jacket walks from the rooms edge into the more lit rooms center and as he does. His form shifts to that of a young teen girl wearing a school uniform...one of Whateley's "This blade is made of the purest cold iron! I would suggest you attack from her rear and shove this in her back....all the way through her! So she can not reach the pommel and deactivate the magical trap within it. Then leave it stuck in her." "What trap?" she asks in a teen girls voice. "This blade will thicken inside her and cut her in two! You give it one twist on the handle to activate it...two twists is even better!" "So the blade grows?" "Yes to say simply? It will and it will cut her in half!" "Cold iron? Why that metal?" "It is like pure poison to a Sidhe...a elf or Drow. It will burn her from within like fire!" "I prefer my methods?" "This will work, as others like yours. They have already failed us. But do not lose this blade, before you use it! As that will upset my benefactor and you do not want him angry with you?" "Humm? So this blade is rare then" "There is only this one blade and it comes from long before the sundering...It is even older than humans are!" The priest closes the box and hands it to two of his men. Ones that will assist the assassin in his job. After he entrusts the box with his men, he warns the assassin "Do not fail us, as if you do? She will certainly kill or torture you! If not her? The students of Whateley, the one's around her are deadly!" "I will not!" "Your best chance is this coming first week of classes, as it is the most confusing week at the school. With new, untracked students all over the campus....try any later? And the security will notice you and fast!" "Yes I read into that....I will pick a day this coming week and she will be dead. I do not fail and I do not give up...till a job is finished. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Sunday February 25 2:40 am Arkham Research Consortium Both Bill and I get seated in the cafeteria. Then finally served our meals by two waitresses. One of them, or kind of both of them carry four plates for me! As my appetite is running at full bore this morning! As I sit and shovel food into my mouth, Bill asks "Well how is school?" "So far? It's okay, I guess? Last weekend was nuts! But it got better!" "So you going to tell me about Sunday?" "No" I say flatly. "I guessed that? I will never ask again. But we will get all this testing done and you can get going!" "Bill?" I say softly, so no one can really hear me...not that anyone is really near us. "Yes?" "I am getting real confused as of late?" "On?" "Well last week and most of this week? I really liked 'girls'?" "And?" he asks, after putting down his fork to show me he is giving me all of his attention. "Last night? I kissed a boy that Nikki had over?" and I watch as his eyebrows move in thought "And if it was not Nikki's house.....I might have 'done it' right there with him?" "Okay? So what is the deeper issue then? As I can see it bothers you?" "That want...need? It came from the Drow...not the human me? She wanted him bad...real bad! I can see that part of me wants kids...AND now?!" "Can that happen?" "No...A Drow like me and a regular human? There is no chance of that...you have seen my tests. The DNA will never mix and make a kid." "So....I guess? We...or you have to wait?" "Yes....but that sudden want? It spooked me! I was.....was...was." "I know....and only a few of us, really know who you were two weeks ago. So take it slow and keep a lid on that Drow!" he laughs at me "We don't want, or need little hellions of yours running around!" I laugh with him "No we don't!.....But could you see the damage my kids would do, porting everywhere!' "I shake in the thoughts!" I just grin at him and go back to eating my fill. Later on, we both have finished and get up to go back down into the 'rabbit hole' I call the elevator here. When we hit the floor we need, the door opens and Dr. Otto stands there smiling at us. "Hi Rohanna! I just had to see you tonight and explain why I was so nasty the last time you where here?" "And?" I say simply, as Bill leads us all down the hallway to the temporal spectral analysis machine. Or as I now call it in my mind...the machine that needs me in a body stocking and near nude to use! "I was in the middle of helping and still am. Two really messed up kids....from your school. Then add I was being pressured by the persons above, to get you tested and fast! As you are so strange!" "That is little or no excuse!" "Well I will try much harder to change all of that. Then I am apologizing to you right now for that last time you where here?" "I will accept it Dr. Otto. But please try to keep who ever 'leans' on you? OFF me?" He nods rather quickly to me, as we enter the testing center doors "I will...or I will tell Bill to tell you what's going on to keep you in the 'loop'. So that ...they still 'think' they run this place?" he laughs at me. "Okay...I can work with that!" I now giggle back, in knowing he will try harder and he is in a 'bad' spot. As we all enter the 'TS' centers main doors, Otto takes note of Violet sitting happily on my shoulder and asks "Rohanna? Can we run tests on your Pixie?" "I say no!....But Violet has her own will and can if she wants too? As I don't 'own' her!" I tell him and ask her at the same time. "Well small one?" he asks her "what is your answer?" "I would only do it....if it helped her AND I can not see how this human 'THING' being done to me can?" her small voice makes its displeasure known. "We can pay Rohanna for your time?" he adds. "Jabbress? will this help you if I allow this 'testing' thing?" "No it's only human money and it can not buy what we need?" "What do you need Rohanna?" "A homeland for us Sidhe, where we make the rules!" "We can't help with that now? But maybe later?" I wave a dismissive hand at him "Well till then, what good is ARC to me?....besides the money, that I rarely need?" "Well, we do try to help you as best we can? Whateley...is one way that we do?" "Fine doc. You all try to help me. Maybe one day? I will call upon that 'help' and I expect it to show up when I do!" "We will try? I can not speak for all...but you have my vote. The Sidhe race needs a homeland of some type? It can only help humans in the long run, your ancient knowledge and other things?" "Yes" I say to him and yet I think as I do 'there is a coming storm?....and it will be a big one!' After we are all in the 'TS' control room, the tech hands me that cotton body stocking and waves me to the dressing room. I sigh at that, as wearing this darn thing! I might as well be nude! Gaea this thing is 'thin'! Once I exit the changing room, all the eyes of the men there are instantly on me. The leers and stares my body is getting are starting to bother me badly. Bill acts on what he sees and wraps a robe around me, then glares at the others. Dr. Otto sees what his staff is doing and acts "IF! I see one more stare or leer like this going on for a second longer! You are all fired!" he shouts. Most of the room gets back to doing their jobs...for now? Bill's arm wraps around me, to keep me calm and he moves me to the center chamber to get this all over with. Me? I am stuck thinking...as last time I stood up for myself. But after last nights 'little pillow toss' with Josh, I am so confused. A laugh from Bill breaks my thoughts "Now I know why you want me to carry a gun! A whip and chair might help too!" "Humm? now you like my ideas? I know I look beautiful to some? Maybe exotic? But that room of guys needs some ladies in it!..." I say softly in thought "I wonder what they would be doing...if I used my glamour?" "You have a glamour? Like Fey does?" "Yes...but I can control mine and it has...another part?" "What?...if I can ask?" "Pure cold fear" my voice says flatly, as I go back in my shared memories of the times I had to use it. Dr. Otto must have just barely overheard me say that to Bill and walks over to both of us to ask me about it "Your glamour you just mentioned? Can we test that too?" For some reason...I mentally slip and the Drow takes over "Ji rivvil dos ssinssrin ulu zud'dar ussta!" (so human you want to test my glamour) Waves of my glamour of pure fear slam into Dr. Otto and he seems to be holding up to them. The Drow deep within me, sees that he must have shielding of some sort and pours even more at him...to break the human that caused so much pain just two weeks ago! Dr. Otto's hand comes up at me to wave me off, as he gasps out "Rohanna PLEASE stop...it hurts!" Bill sees Otto's pain and the fear growing in him, as his shields start to fail. He watches on as a evil satisfied grin covers my face, as I or part of me....it enjoys his pain. With a hard tug, Bill pulls my face to his and our eyes lock. When that happens, my fear glamour pours deep into him. As I focus it via my sight! He withers in seconds and starts to shake in fear. When I notice it and I act! My arms wrap around him and pull him closer to me. "Bill I am so sorry! I never meant you to feel that....please stop shaking. I will not hurt you!" I cry out as we both slide to the floor. As Bill tries to recover, as I hit him with the 'worst' I can give off. My rage turns back on Otto! As both, my human part and the Drow in me. We see Bill as a brother, a fellow combat mate, and part of my new family! As I start to stand again and leave Bill behind me. My voice bellows in anger at Otto "Nindol zhah jal dosst QUE'DARN! Dos inbal ussta iglata ulu xun nindol testing...whol or'a! Or'a Usstan llaar xun naut ssrig'luin! Quin dos elendar ulu joros whol tangis'mzild....xor uns'aa d'ussta companion Sil'iluuth! Vel'bol zhah huthin?.....ussta dalharen ka lu'vel'drav Usstan inbal mina!" (This is all your FAULT! You have my promise to do this testing...for money! Money I really do not need! Yet you continue to ask for even more....of me, of my companion Violet! What is next?.....my children, if and when I have them!) Once I am fully up, my armor 'pops' into being and a blade slides to my hand. Just as I stalk forward and intend on harming Otto badly today. I think... I have only promised not to hurt others at Whateley or those I have personally chosen! And Dr. Otto is not on any of those lists! I only take one step, when my foot is caught and I look down to a hand wrapped around it. Bill looks up to me with a pained face, as he says "No please don't, it's a small mistake...one that's on all of us here?" That act stops me and I fly to Bill to give him comfort again. I move him to a wall and lean him up against it to make this more comfortable. Then Violet flies over, lands on Bill's shoulder and shoves her glamour at him. As she does, I remember that most Pixies have a nice glamour, one made for kids ...just pure simple 'joy'....when it washes over him. Bill comes back to me and loses that fear of me. Bill smiles to me, then gives me a hug "Boy that feels better....but man! That glamour of yours. I don't want to feel that again!" "No you will not! I made a mistake of using that on you Bill!" I promise Bill, then My anger at Otto returns and I glare at him again "He needs to stop asking for more of me!" "Is that what you said in Drow?" Bill asks. "Yes Bill, that is what my Rohanna said" Violets small voice makes it presence known "And she is right...human" she twists her body and sneers at Otto "You need to stop asking for more tests...ones that are not in the past agreement or tests on me! OR! On her kids...if they come!" she now hisses at Otto. When Violet says that last part, I know why she is mad. Pixies in the plan of the world, were made in my guess to protect children. I have always thought that is why we Drow work so well with them...we both have similar traits. So me saying that Otto may want to 'test' my children here? It has her full attention and with it... her anger. I pull Bill to his feet and then glance to Otto "Once this test is over...this day of testing me ends! Finished or not! You spoiled a great day for me and of late I have had very few!" The room stands quiet now and I walk off toward the main chamber to get this over with. As I enter the chamber, Otto stops me with a reply "Are you stopping all tests? Even the other ones you agreed to?" With a heavy sigh I turn back, to glare at him "Are you questioning my word yet again? I wrote a promise out that I would do the tests as listed! Yet you ask for more?" I jump into the chair at the rooms center and yell out with a warning "Lets get this over! BEFORE I spill more blood this week, than I already have!" The door closes and the technician guides me though his actions with a calming voice of a man doing his job. "Otto!" Bill shouts out "She warned you off more than once. I should have let her slit your throat!" "Bill! lets not have this out! You still work for me, for now!" Otto warns him with a little veiled threat of firing him. "Ohh lets see if that is true! Let us test that too! Like all the other stuff you wanted today? Shall we ask Rohanna? As her contract states, I am her only contact and I am to be with her during all tests held here or anywhere ARC requests?" As Otto fumes and thinks to fire Bill on the spot! Violet flies to Bill's shoulder and sits. She then whispers in Bill's ear "What I see and hear? So does Rohanna and she knows what he just said." "Otto?" Bill questions and then Otto turns to glare at Bill with a "Yes?" "You forgot about Violet? Rohanna's Familiar you called her? What she sees and hears. Goes right to Rohanna! And she just heard all of this!" Otto studies the small Pixie on Bill's shoulder and Violet waves at him with a smile. As the test ends and the technician tells me all the tests are good. I leap from the chair and go out the door. I just glare at Otto, as I pass him on the way to the dressing room. Once I have that 'cat suit' off me, my growing anger carries me back to the main control room. "Well Otto you want to fire Bill? Well do it! And then I am free of all this!" When I glance back to Bill, I can see he is a little put off at my threat "Bill please don't worry about this job or the money? I can cover all of your loses." "Who will pay for your time at Whateley then.....and where are you obtaining money from?" Otto asks. "You really think that the only thing in the golden box of mine....was only me? How limited you think?" "So what else was in there?" "SEE you can't stop yourself!.....From asking more than you need to know....So this is over for today! AND then are you firing Bill or not?" "No I am not firing Bill" is his short reply. "Well good, I do not want to hear you threaten him ever again! Especially when I am involved!" When I start to walk off, I ask Bill from the door and see he is thinking what I just said over in his mind "Please join me Bill, I am leaving...as I am done here for the day." "Rohanna?" Otto calmly asks. I stop with a jolt "Yes?" as had I started to walk out, after Bill started to walk with me. "I do not wish to press you? But those in charge of here? They will want all the tests done? And you have a few left to do?" "What ones?" "The X-tests" "I did all of that again at Whateley and then add to that. I just know ARC has access to all of my medical files at Whateley. This week I spent Sunday night there in Doyle and a few other trips! I am sure they got all the 'free' data, at no charge from me!" Suddenly Bill grasps my arm and leads me out of the room. As he does, he whispered to me "Your eyes were getting red back there....I knew you had to leave or he was a dead man....that I am sure of..." The next thing Bill does, is leads me off to his small office and offers me the sofa once we get into the room. After I sit in it, I can tell the only reason its being here, is for Bill to sleep on when needed. The deep cushions it offers relax me, as he takes a seat in a nice chair behind the desk after he closes and locks the door. "You can thank Jineen for that sofa, she is the one who got it for me and this great chair! She knew sooner or later, I would need to sleep here. But relax and spill all that pent up nasty you have on me?" he asks me with genuine concern. Before I even answer him, I weave up a privacy spell and set it off to float to the ceiling. When it hits it, a magical ward is made, fills and then covers the whole room. After it is set, a glow comes from anything human or magic that can spy on us. Bill spins his gaze all around the room after I finish and notes a glow coming from the walls "What was that you did and why do my walls have glowing writing on them?" "Your fellow workers here do not trust you! That...Bill? Is a spell to watch this room, I just blocked it and surly got someone very angry!" I start to laugh. I on the other hand, take note that his desk lamp, the phone and a picture of Jineen on his desk are glowing too. I snatch the lamp off the desk and see that the base is glowing the most. So I tear off the cloth cover and pull from the wiring with a snap of current....a small device. I then replace the cover and set the thing I found on his desk in front of him. Once he sees what it is "Ohh those bastards!" he hisses out. "I am not done." I say, as I grab the phone and twist the flat handset open with a pop. Then up it yields a small chip card, that I tear from it. It joins the other one on the desk and I grab the picture. My other hand grabs a letter opener off his desk set and I use it to pry the picture frame open...carefully. So I don't damage it. Just behind the picture, I find a long, thin, card of electronics and toss it to the growing pile on the desk. "All done! Before I leave, maybe we can make an album for them in Drow....to drive them crazy!" I giggle out "I can do that! But lay it all on me...what is bugging you...besides Josh that boy?" "Bill...just these two weeks! All that happened on Saturday in Boston? AND then add Sunday nights little issue? I almost left all those I have grown to care and love behind because of those two days? If not for a small promise made to me?....I would have left all this....for at least a century or better?" "Please...talk to me, if it gets that bad again? I actually give a shit if you stay....you have grown on me and the stuff you do?....It keeps me awake with the fun madness of it all!" I laugh with Bill over those words, then go back to my talking over my issues. "Why do they seem to hate me? Or hate things that are not pretty? Can't they see beyond the skin, to what I can see in the people they hate...Heck if I don't hate it for what they are? Then leave it alone!" "Are you talking about Sara?' My head falls to stare at the floor "Yes, I am talking about Sara. As I am sure now, that Saturday attack. It was meant to kill her and I just got in the way?" "Tell me why again, someone would want to do that?" "She is a GOO and some religious zealots, they think her being here is an affront to God or something? But they have no clue, what she really is!" "I understand...so you got tossed into the mix and got hurt for it?" "Yep and I feel it will get worse. As when most see me? They only see that monster I resemble." "NOT that monster crap again! Don't do that to yourself!" "Fine then! lets me and you go pop over to times square and go shopping! Then we will see how long or far we both get!....Lets go!...Now....I am game!" I shout with challenge in each word. "Stop...you're right, my fellow humans are stupid!" "No not stupid....just uninformed is all?" I give in to him. "Anything else?" "If things don't get better? I may have to leave, to stay safe and sane?" "I will look into places for you to go...off the books here? Just incase?" "Thanks Bill....I know you have my back! AND I will always have yours!" As I say that last thing, the phone rings and it breaks our privacy "I bet that is someone checking that those bugs work?" I warn him, as his hand goes for the handset. "Well then? What should I say?" "HAAA tell them you just found bugs in your office and that the whole complex might be compromised! If they don't go nuts? Then you now know for sure it was them!" Then the thought hits me "But Bill? My laptop from here had bugs too! A friend took them all out and secured my laptop for me!...Just so you know, this is not the first time I have seen this from ARC?" Bill hits the phone speaker button so I can hear what is said "Mr. Varney? Telecomm services here....we had a computer notice your phone had a disconnect? And the system posted a call for asking?" "Yep!" Bill almost laughs "It's working now? But I found a 'bug' in it and that is why it dropped off the system?" "Bug? sir? ...insect?" "No...dummy!.....Bug as in unauthorized listening device! and I found two more after that one!" Bill's voice drips with sarcasm. "I will send a tech right out and inform security....tech will be there in....ahhh five minutes? Is that fine?" Bill looks up to me for a answer......and I nod to him "That will be fine." The line drops and Bill starts laughing..."What a moron!" "Well lets see what the 'tech' does when he gets here?" "Yep!" "But Bill?.." I near mumble and that gets his attention fast to me "When I almost lost it back there?" "Yes..." he nods. "When you hear that Drow coming out of me.....I am kind losing to her again. In the last few days....like Wednesday. I got real upset at a H1! guy at the mall and I could not speak english for a few minutes. Then I started to lose the ability to understand it too?" "Now that sounds bad...very bad?" "It might be? But I got better, then Aung is helping at night as best she can and so is Sara. I am trying hard to make this blend of new human and ancient Drow work out? But everything keeps getting violent and she...the Drow is the only thing in me made for it?" "So every time you get challenged or have a bad time...she comes out full bore?" "Yep...like with Otto back there....I...part of me....HECK! all of me wanted to hurt him and bad!" "Well tell me what you need?" "I need exactly what you're doing right now...listening and being here. Remember we both in our ways, have seen....fighting and you're the only one who sort of understands me...Then there is Ms. Everheart back at school...she does too?" "I am one call way at all times...ARC paying for it or not!" "Fine...but don't tell anyone? As I really don't say much about it at school anymore. As if they think I am going off the deep end?" "You end up back here.....at ARC." he says flatly and can't even look at me for a secound. "And that might as well be a death sentence for me...as I will fight to get out!" I sit there deep in thought and Bill watches me...and keeps quiet to let me think. Then at that five minute mark, the door knocks "I bet I know who that is!" he sings and gets up to unlock the door. The tech comes in with a wave of Bill's arm as Bill quips at him "Have at it kid! But don't mess up anything!" My fangs pop out as I smile "Hi" to him and stand up. Just as I leave the room, my hands weave a spell to cancel the 'privacy ward' and it disappears with a pop. Then my arm is snagged by Bill and he drags me out of the room "Lets be going and leave him to work...shall we?" "Ya fine..." I give into him. I so wanted to mess with the tech and question him a little. To see if he was the one who planted that shit! Bill gives me a playful shove down the hallway toward the elevators and once in them we go back up to the surface. Out in the main complex office area, Dr. Otto spots us and starts to walk over to us. Bill grabs my arm, when he spots him comming and whispers to me "Stay cool...please?" "All up to him" I say in that colder and growing more common voice of the Drow. "Hi Rohanna...Bill. Are you leaving now?" "Yes..." the cold Drow answers. "Yep doc she is....I got her all calmed down and we talked a bit. So I am now seeing her out. Need anything?" "Well I guess its goodbye? Till we see you again in...hum two weeks?...No lets call it three then? As you where right? We did get lots of new info via that night you spent in hospital." "Okay Dr. Otto. I will be here as promised. I would apologize to you.....but can't. You pressed me at the end of a very bad week, just as I was having fun and you paid for it! Next time just stay on track and don't ask for anymore of me. Till....we grow on one another?" "That will be fine" he said to me and as I walked off toward the waiting van he spoke yet again "Try and have a better week Rohanna?" "Thanks...I will try." After the van drops me at the front gates and Bill has walked me back outside them. We are both giving each other that last hug before I leave. "Well, I will come on down sometime this week with the porter and surprise ya!" he says with a evil grin to me. "I'll be waiting!" "Rohanna? please call if it gets hard again for ya?" "I will....but I have a great bunch of new friends there and that is the only reason why I have chosen to stay....and you!" "Well get going! I have stuff to do...like watch TV!" "I am going....sheesh. But I will work on a charm for you so that the 'bugs' don't bite ya?" "Ohh that would be great!" "Bye" I wave and port back to Nikki's ----------------------------------------------- Sunday February 25 4:15 am Nicholas Reilly family home Once I port back to the house, I jump to the back porch and enter the door there to the kitchen. On my way back to my room, I listen to the house and find all the others are asleep as they should be. After a long shower to wash off all that anger I just had, I plop onto the bed and lay there...thinking. When I don't find any peace in that thinking, I get redressed and walk out to the back porch. Once there, I port ---------------------------------------------------- Sunday February 25 4:35 am The Grove At the welcoming center of the Grove, Violet flies off to go see her family and I find a very busy Aung sitting on the large stump there. "So what is Aung doing tonight?" I giggle at her. "What I am doing is...filling this book of spells for you and Nikki." she says while still writing. "Humm and by the looks of it...that one is nearly filled? How much time have you spent on this?" "All that I can.....and Rohanna? Do you have more of these books?" "Yes...but in deep storage? Do you need one now?" "That would be good and a few more? Then these books are prefect, the humans have nothing like this!" "I bet they don't. Each page has a separator. To a layperson it looks like wax paper, but to us? It keeps the spells written in it, from contaminating one another." Once done talking to her, I walk off a few paces for room and weave a pattern in the air. With a large tug on my part, my box slides from where I keep it and once fully out. My fingers tap the needed and ever changing code of symbols to open it. When it opens, the light from the magic within makes the Grove's center brighter and I can see that Aung desperately wants to get up and see what's in it! With the top now fully open to me, I lean into it a little and pull out five more even larger books for Aung and a better writing set....incase she needs it. With a slight shove, the lid closes, then the box slides back home to nothing and I walk over to Aung at the tree stump. I sit next to her with a sigh and place the books next to her "That should keep you happy and this writing set is for deeper magic I am told?" She picks it up and examines it "So it is. You do not use this?" "I was never taught how to make spells...only how to use them fast and hard. I told you this, that writing set?...I have never used one to make a spell, I have only ever copied what I was told too?" "Well you begin learning tonight." "Don't you have to teach or tutor Nikki?" "No not tonight...she is dreaming of Paul all night and I do not want to interfere with that...now do I?" she smiles. "Nope! As Toni says "girl has to get some!" Even if it is in a dream!" "Yes I know she does...."Aung says in a more than a 'mother is mad' tone! "But lets start you out on the basics, as I write them in this book" as she writes a new spell in the tome, she shows me the why's and why not's! of spell crafting. A little over two hours latter, Aung stops writing and informs me "Nikki is about to wake up. I have to get back to her and be there for her." "Well....her waking before noon is good!" I laugh. "She wanted to make an effort to be up and around. To show you a good time at home, is all. She was mad at herself for yesterday and waking so late? But do not tell her I said this to you?" "No problem. I had better get back too! See you in a few!" and I port. Aung takes the pile of books, over to a large ring of brush and lays it all in a stone box there. A Pixie, who guards this place of storing items. She waves her small arm and the earth sucks the box beneath it. "Thanks my small friend. I know this is safe with you" and she vanishes. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday February 25 7:20 am Nicholas Reilly family home I land on the wood porch again and go to the back door. As I open it, Troy waves at me and I can see Mr. Reilly is up too. "Well look what the cat dragged in" he laughs at me "Troy! remind me to thank that cat! It is sure getting better at catching these Elves off the yard!" I go along with the joke "Mr. Reilly...if it was not for us "Elves" Your lawn would be covered in little gnomes by now and all doing 'cute' poses!" "Touch?! Rohanna, you're a quick wit! Or a..." "Please sir don't say it!" As I go to sit at the counter, Troy asks me "Coffee? Juice? What do ya want?" "Orange juice...if ya have it?" "Yep! big...small?" he asks. "Larger the better!" He grabs a giant mug from the cabinet and goes to fill it "We always have juice now. Or fruits and veggies for Nikki....just incase she shows up!" "So out all night at ARC?" Mr. Reilly asks. "Nope...it got messed up. Dr. Otto keeps asking for more tests than I promised and it's starting to bug me...sir?" I growl a little. "Tell me?" his voice lowers in tone at me. I can tell he is getting a little angry. "He saw Violet and wanted to test her. Then...." I falter a little as I think about what happened. "Please go on?" he gently encourages me. "He wanted to test my glamour after I mentioned it to Bill in passing. I got more than mad and shoved it at him in retaliation...it got a little nasty from there?" I finally sigh. "Any blood?" he asks simply. Knowing I don't actually back down from anyone. "No sir.....We had.....words and Bill helped out." "I will talk to Bill first, as I know you trust him and will find out what the middle of this is? Then I will act or not on it?" "That will be fine by me....sir." "So what else then last night?" "I went to the Grove to calm down and Aung was there. So we did lessons like we usually do?" "I thought she taught Nikki in her sleep most nights?" "She does...sir. I think, she is either splitting the time or might be in two places at once? I think she can do that. When she was alive....she was very powerful, to say the least." Troy interrupts us with a jest "I wonder if she can teach me in my sleep?" "I am not so sure you want that Troy! As then you will never rest!" I joke at him. "Well just so you know the plans for today....there are none. We don't do the church thing here and since I have the kids all this week. I want to spend time with them both and you of course!" While Mr. Reilly cooked up breakfast and I gulped down juice, we all talked over the places to see near here. As we went along Mr. Reilly decided to spend this day at home and the adventure of going out, it can wait for the better weather during the summer time. When the morning potatoes he made were hitting my plate. Nikki rolled on into the kitchen and was looking very chipper and awake for morning! As she sat, he placed another plate out for her. Violet at the time, was diving into all the cut fruit that Troy left on the table and was munching away. "Does she always eat all crazy like that" he asked while staring at Violet. "Yep" I mumbled out, then swallowed "But she is cute! But don't let her have too many M&M's! she gets a little hyper!" "NO I don't!" her tiny voice yelped out in protest. "Then what was that bubble bee, that looked like you buzzing around my room one night!" "Okay I get jumpy!" she gave in. "But she does love pancakes! I found out this week." "I will make some for lunch then!" Troy offered. "Humm all this food. I am going to have a chubby Pixie on my hands!" "Has she tried a mug of hot chocolate yet?" Nikki wonders out loud to me. "Humans make hot liquid chocolate too!" Violet asks me with a wide grin. "Ohhh brother....yes." I say...doomed. "I WANT!" she demands. "Troy if you please? Or she will never shut up!" Within a few minutes, Troy places a small cup of instant hot coco in front of Violet "Be careful it's still very hot!' he warns her. After she blows on it for awhile, she takes a sip and screams "Ohhh yummy! I want this when we get back to school." My head falls into my arms on the countertop and I start banging it with my head "I am doomed! When she tells them all back in the Grove about this! They will never shut up! I knew I should have never gave them trail mix and M&M's that one night!" After we all finish up eating, all of us go out to the family room to catch some TV. Violet is buzzing around the room like a nut! And she is getting into everything! Just barely a half hour into the madness, she finally calms down, curls up on a small pillow on a shelf and takes a nap. Troy pulls up some TV shows on the DVR and explains as he goes how it works. When the commercials come up in the show, he fast forwards them, but Nikki stops him. "Troy, I know this makes no sense and will hurt a little? But leave the commercials in for me." "Why?" he whines. "So Rohanna can watch them and see what's out in the world a little via them. She has not had the time for all that yet?" "Normally I would do the same and remove them" I say "But it makes sense to watch them to me? I am sure you don't sell stuff that I know of anymore?' He reluctantly leaves in the commercials and the show plays on. One episode blends into another and as it goes. I make mental notes on the things I see in the show and the commercials. Since I am all laid out on the more than comfortable couch and I actually feel more than safe in this home. Knowing Nikki, Aung and Mr. Reilly are here. I fall asleep after a long week of hell. Within a few minutes, my body is tossing and twisting on the couch. The mean growls and half snarls start from me. Troy, who was sitting on the couch next to me, he goes to tap me and Nikki warns him with a sudden grab at his arm. "NO! don't" she then slaps his hand back "Gwen and Roz warned me...never touch her when she is asleep and tossing about." "Why honey?" Mr. Reilly asks. "Dad....she is back 'there' deep in the fight and could be dangerous when woken wrong?" she whispers. Troy moves slowly away from me, as I toss about and then suddenly. I lean up to sitting from the couch and yell out "Dalharen!" (children) and start crying. Nikki wants to go hold me, but Aunghadhail warns her mentally ~"No Nikki do not say a word, not just yet...give her a minute to process that. That dream...nightmare, I think maybe her worst one and you do not want to know about it....yet?"~ After Mr. Reilly watches his daughter hesitate moving to me "Nikki? Why don't you go hold her?" Nikki shakes her head and indicated her mouth. Mr. Reilly gets it instantly. Nikki's voice might make things worse right now. After a short while sitting there sobbing, I get more than embarrassed that Mr. Reilly saw that, so I get up and go to the kitchen to wash my face, then place a cool cloth on me. As I sit there at the counter thinking, Nikki comes over and hugs me. "You better?" she asks. "Ya...that one nightmare of a memory never leaves. Sara tried to get it moved on, but that wound is too deep." Nikki thinks to ask about it, but Aunghadhail says ~"Do not ask about that one my child. She does not wish to share that one.....We talked it over in the Grove. It is best left alone for now.....till we all can cope with it?"~ ~"What can be so bad Aung?"~ Aung says one word to Nikki and it's enough ~"Children....was the word she screamed in Drow"~ ~"Ohhh I understand now."~ ~"No you do not. Neither of us do? Not till you are a mother...then you may. I had a kingdom to run...so I know a little of that pain...in my own way?"~ Aung questions herself...if she truly does. "I get so confused at times by my old dreams, then add all of her's 'the Drow's'. Sometimes I forget who I am?" Nikki nods to me "Sometimes I get that from Aung too. So I guess we are a lot alike in someways?" "Yes, maybe we are? But hey...my falling asleep here? That is a good thing as I see it? I feel comfortable enough to let my guard down here!" "Good to hear that!" Mr. Reilly interrupts us from his just walking in. He is then followed by Troy, who starts pulling out the items I know make pancakes "Well since we all are in the kitchen, I might as well make that lunch?" Troy adds in. "Good Troy! I did not have to remind ya....this time!" Mr. Reilly commends him and gives Troy a rub on the head that messes his hair. That action gains a "Hey daaaad don't!" after he does it. Troy starts cooking up a great looking meal, once during his prep he pulls out chocolate chips and asks me "Should I add this to Violet's batch?" "Ohhh no you don't! Unless you want her locked in your room to buzz that off!" I warn him. He laughs evilly at me and shakes the bag once more as Violet finally flies into the room from her nap. She lands on the counter top and looks up at Troy "Pancakes?" she questions him. "Yes small one.....with the giant stomach! I am making them!" I quietly thank Gaea, that Violet has no idea what it takes to make them or knows what a bag of chocolate chips looks like! After a short while, Troy is dishing out one stack after another to us and cooks a short stack of 'silver dollar' ones just for Violet. Once I see the syrup that Troy pulls out from the microwave, Gaea I get happy at the sight "REAL maple syrup! My dad never bought that! 'too darn expensive!' he always said." Violet asks me "What is that?" "It's syrup from a tree, instead of that man made crap! A real treat!" I then pour some for her onto her small stack, then mine gets fully covered in that sugary goodness. Violet starts to slice her's up, with a small knife she has and uses a toothpick to eat with. After that first bite....She smiles ear to ear "Now I know what you mean, this is better!...Thanks Troy!" I nod my agreement to Violet, as I finish that first stack and whip my plate out to Troy for more. Nikki is right after me with her's and small Violet is savoring every bite slowly. Mr. Reilly shakes his head to us all "Thank God both of you girls are at Whateley! The food bills alone would kill me!" "Hey Dad...pancakes are cheap! But I have to get my turn eating?" As I add syrup to my new stack, I answer him "Go ahead and eat Troy, this is fine for me?" Nikki glares at him..."Keep cooking little brother! I am hungry!" I give Nikki a playful small poke in her side, after she says that "Are the modeling agencies going to like that extra stack?" "Chasing after you all week....I need this!" "Okay...that makes sense to me!" After lunch is done and I help stow the dishes in the washer. Then all of us go back out to the family room and Troy gets the game system warmed up. This time, he takes out a car game for me to try out the newer cars and maybe see what I think of them. As the evening comes. I find that Nikki is beating the crap out of me on most of the games. She just understands the controller way better than I do. Troy seems to beat her most of the time and Mr. Reilly? He wisely sits all this out and just watches the fun. At Seven, Mr. Reilly has dinner all cooked for us to sit and eat in the dining room. As we sit and eat, Mr. Reilly takes that time to grill me a little. "So the school called me and told me this week may have to be a bit short?" I give him a questioning glance at that statement "Sir?" "Well that little spat you had on Tuesday? With...Truck...was it?" "Truck...you went after Truck?" Nikki asks in a surprised voice. "He started it!" I yelp back to her. "Well that maybe the case...But when you were done with him, you kept on beating him!" "Yes...sir. I did" and my head goes down a little in the shame from it. "What started it?" Nikki asks "I was messing with Jobe...then Truck got a little more than sexually....aggressive at me. I gassed him and then stomped on his junk?" Troy cringes a the thought of me doing that "Owwch!" Nikki giggles at me..."Ohhh brother I have to hear this one! I gotta call....hey who was there! So I can ask!" "Gwen." "Ohh ya Gwen is gonna tell me all of it!" "I am sure someone has video of the whole thing?" "Too cool!" "Well sir. I got three days detention service for it." "I guess Puppets room will get really clean this week!" Nikki laughs even more. "So you are going back tonight, to get all that done...now maybe that might calm my Drow down a little?" "I hope so sir...I am trying?" "I know." Then after that good food is all gone. I return to my room to pack up my stuff, as I have to go and get that punishment done. As my packing goes, Nikki comes in and helps with what little I have. "Dad told me...they are giving you UV list too after that fight. Then add that stuff on Saturday?" "Yep...I get picked on or nearly killed. I get punished....all this time passes for this Drow in me and it is still the same thing." "Rohanna...you know darn well that is not the whole thing! You kept on Truck! He maybe an asshole, but you kept on him and liked it! That is the main reason why they are testing you. I have seen all this before with Billie, the only diff? Is that she can kill way faster than you!" "Yes...you're right Nikki. I had it coming....after all the crap I nearly did? Peeper, Jobe, Constance and others." "Yes...just keep it down? Then they might trust that you can keep a lid on all that pent up anger that is in you?" "I will try? But see ya when?" "I will get back to school and soon!" I shoulder my large bag and she leads me to the front door, at the door Troy and Mr. Reilly are waiting for me. Troy gives me a small hug and Mr. Reilly follows him with one. Mr. Reilly hands me a piece of paper when he lets go of me "Here is your personal code to the door here and the main gates to the complex. Since your nearly family....you should have this....just incase?" "Thanks...I hope I never need it in an emergency?" Nikki then grabs me in a hug of doom! And after she lets go of me is crying a little at me "Have fun with Puppet! and 'keep calm and carry on!'" she giggles to me. "I will cya!" Then I vanish. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday February 25 8:32 pm Whateley Academy - Poe cottage My port in lands on the steps of Poe and I walk in the building trying to be as unnoticeable as I can be. But Mrs. Horton and her hearing of the Gods stops me! "Miss Leigh! You have a detention note again and its in your mail box!" she shouts at me from her room and its slightly opened door. "Yes Mrs. Horton, I hear you and will go retrieve that note." Jamie who was sitting in the main entry room, giggles a little at that and then she says softly to me "That lady can hear anyone! I don't understand it?" "Yep she does? I can sneak with the best of them and yet she still hears me?" "I thinks she has a spell on the doorway? And since we live here willingly? We can't avoid it?" "Makes sense to me? Like a fool's circle does?" "Fool's circle?" she asks.
