Mitch looked at the girl before glancing behind him at Ember. "We have friends in the woods and heard one yelling."

Liz groaned. "Riiiiight... Listen bud, Jora's my room mate and because of you running after her my hand got burnt." She said holding out her red hand that had been holding Jora's arm. "So, I think I should at least know why she's freaking out."

Jora shook staring at Alderic in fear. "Get away I'll hurt you!" She yelled sadness in her voice as she pulled away trying to get away from him and ended up falling on her back.

Alderic looked at Jora before grabbing her hand to help her up. "Jora... I'm fine. See?" He said holding out his hand knowing that most others would be burnt. "Being a fire creature has some advantages." He said smiling as he sat down next to her. "You need to stop holding it in, okay? You'll only hurt yourself more." He said smiling reassuringly at her as he pushed his glasses up his nose. He heard Jora let out a slow breath before seeing her hand rise and a small flame above her fingers.

Phinesa giggled a little before tripping a little falling forward but caught herself. "It's a library Saffy." She whispered teasingly to her friend as they continued running.

"What's going on anyway?" Alice asked, trying to seem indifferent, but she was actually worried for her brother. She fidgeted on her feet, throwing an unnoticeable glance toward the forest. "Nothing of any importance to you," Ember said, though not in a mean way, just matter of fact. Alice whirled on her. "My brother is in there, trying to help whoever is yelling, so I think I have a right to know!" she said, glaring at Ember. Ember noticed the girl's concealed worry for her brother, since she had done the same many times herself. "One of our friends got upset, you're brother isn't in any danger," she replied, looking at the fire, not wanting to make eye contact with the other girl. "How do you know?" Alice challenged. "You won't even look me in the eye," she added, her suspicions growing. Ember threw her gaze up, forcing herself to look the other girl straight in the eye.

Orion sighed. "I can heal your hand. If you're her roommate, you probably already know what her monster form is. So she can control fire too," he said, not giving away anything more than what was already obvious. He looked at the girl's hand, knowing burns would heal best if they had cold water run over them almost immediately.

Kanin decided he couldn't exactly leave or transform at the moment, so he hopped in front of the boy with glasses, and sat down facing the girl. Hypnotizing and fortune telling wouldn't be that helpful. He rarely used either anyway, since he couldn't see far into the future, and he couldn't see it often. He didn't want to hypnotize her into feeling better, because she would just feel worse later.

Saffy grinned. "So? It's great for hide and seek, or tag!" she exclaimed, tugging Phinesa's wrist to make her run faster.

(Can't think for Mitch!!!!! AHHHHH!)

Liz shook her head. "I'm fine. I've gotten burned worse. Now why the hell is her skin hot?!" Se yelled really wanting to get to the point of it.

Jora let out a shaky breath as the fire seemed to surge up. She let go of it and rapped her arms around her legs tightly. "I-I can't control it." She said sadly.

Alderic felt her skin get warmer again, it was starting to hurt his hands but he didn't want to let Jora know that. "You can't really control it ever." He said rubbing her arms a little. "But you have to let it out or you'll hurt yourself." He said seriously as he hugged her a little.

Phinesa giggled a little. "Aren't you suppose to be quiet in a library though?" She asked teasingly as she noticed tons of stares directed at the loud girls, mainly because of the loud sound of Phinesa's hooves on the hard floor.

(Have some duck-tape!)

Ember stepped towards Alice. "Listen, my friends are there too, and he won't get hurt," she said, keeping her gaze locked with Alice's. "That's stupid to put so much blind faith in your friends," Alice scoffed. "Is it really blind proof if they've proved their capability to you?" Ember shot back. Suddenly, her shyness kicked back in, and she found her self wondering what the heck she was doing confronting this strange girl. She tore her gaze away and stared at the ground, taking a step back. Alice sighed. "Fine, but if he gets hurt..." she trails off threateningly while glaring at Ember.

"She has fire powers, and she's losing control of them," Orion said. "I just keep scaring her off when I try to help," he explains, glancing anxiously in the direction Jora had run.

Kanin realized what was going on now. The girl apparently couldn't control her power, but he didn't know what it was. Something to do with heat. "Sometimes the only thing you can do is let it wash over you, like a river," he said, softly, not wanting to startle either the boy or the girl. "Trying to dam it up only makes it worse," he adds, tilting his head to look up at the girl's face.

"Nah, we'll be out of here before they can shush us," Saffy replied, gesturing to the library door ahead of them. She threw it opened, and pulled Phinesa through it, before shutting it gently.

(Sort of worked XD)
Mitch didn't like the girl's tone with Ember. "Look, I'm sure your brother's fine. Jora wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose." He said stepping forward to be between the girl and Ember again.

Liz let go of Orion's arm her glare softening but not going away. "There. That wasn't too hard to say." She said following his gaze to where Jora had run. "Sorry about getting all up in arms but Jora's honestly the first person to ever really wanna hang out with me and you were scaring her a bit." She said smiling lightly as she thought for a bit. "Should we go find her?" She asked him looking around the trees.

Jora tensed as Alderic hugged her, she was starting to feel a little smothered by the smoke coming from her mouth her eyes widened when she thought she heard the rabbit speak. She pushed Alderic away looking at it surprised.

Alderic froze as the rabbit spoke staring at it mouth opened eyes wide before shaking his head and looking at Jora. "That's right. Please Jora, I'm fairly flame resistant. Just go a head and give it a try." He said quietly smiling at her reassuringly.

Phinesa shook her head smiling as they went through the doors. "Shesh! You're really excited!" She said grinning at her friend. She was honestly excited too.

(Better than nothing, right? XD)

"Jora?" Alice asked, her eyes narrowing. Something about the way he had added 'on purpose' set off an alarm bell in her head. "What about on accident?" she asked, her tone wary.

Orion nodded. "She went that way," he said, gesturing as he headed in the direction he pointed to. (And apparently Orion doesn't like duct tape or something.)

Ember glanced over towards the forest, scanning the sky for smoke. She didn't see any, and there wasn't any bright light either, so she assumed everything was alright for now anyway. A'ine, have you found Jora? Ember threw the thought into the air, hoping A'ine was close enough to catch it.

"You can do it," Kanin called encouragingly. His ears stood straight up, while his sister was lop-eared, much to the jealousy of his sister. Her ears got in the way of her hopping. He flicked his ear, wondering if he could transform back yet. He decided it wasn't the best idea, so he stayed a rabbit, and sat back on his hind legs, focusing his red eyes on the girl.

"You're one to talk!" Saffy shot back, laughing. "But we better not act excited around Saquia, so we don't spoil the surprise," she added, shaking a finger warningly at Phinesa.

Ack! Sorry I forgot Orion, I'll add him now. *facepalm*

Mitch looked at the girl carefully. "I don't think so. The first who'd get hurt on accident would be Jora." He said glancing at Ember.

A'ine heard Ember faintly. I haven't. But from what I can tell Alderic has and I'm trying to find Orion. She sent as she continued walking toward where she could last tell where Orion was. It was kind of fuzzy when she was looking for him almost like another mind reader was blocking her out. She hoped he was alright.

Liz smiled as she followed the boy. She couldn't help but think he must be the guy Jora liked. "So, you're a friend of Jora's?" She said like a question before continuing not caring about the answer. "I only met her a couple hours ago 'cause I don't spend mush time in the dorm at night." She said before thinking he might figure it out, and most seemed to be apposed to Vampires learning with others. So, just in case, she added. "I like sleeping out in the stars."

Alderic looked at the rabbit. "Umm, could you go make sure anyone else steers clear of here? Jora's nervous enough as it is." He said to the rabbit almost not believing he was actually talking to it.

Phinesa shrugged. "Wouldn't matter too much. We could just say you and I are going camping this weekend." She said smiling broadly at her best friend. She was so excited that she might be able to help make Saquia happy.

Alice sighed. "Fine," she said, still not completely satisfied. "Well, I can watch the fire if you two want to go find them. That, or I'll just leave," she said, not in the mood for making more friends after what happened with llandere.

Do you need any help? Someone offered to watch the fire. I'll explain who later. Ember replied. She decided to wait to answer Alice until A'ine answered. She didn't want to add more chaos if Jora was nervous. She shifted closer to Mitch as she waited for an answer. She hoped neither of the others noticed.

"Yep, we're friends. Where do you sleep then? The ground doesn't sound very comfortable," Orion replied, asking his own question.

"It would be my pleasure," Kanin replied, not wanting to say too much. He didn't want to freak out either of the others. The boy looked like he didn't believe that Kanin was actually talking. Kanin flicked his ears, picking up the sound of voices. He turned to hop out of the clearing, heading in the direction that the voices were coming from. He dashed through the bushes as the voices grew louder. He burst out of a bush, landing right at the feet of a boy with blue hair, who promptly almost stepped on him."My apologies! It was not in my intent to startle you," Kanin called. Orion looked at the rabbit in surprise. "Your two friends are over in that direction. However, the boy requests that you keep your distance. The girl appears to be very nervous," he said.

Saffy nodded. "Good point!" She grinned even more widely. "My home is actually in the same general direction as those towns, so it won't be too far-fetched," she said.

Mitch glanced at Ember a little curious if she had stepped closer to him. "What do you think Ember?" He asked her wondering if they should go into the woods. He didn't think he would be really useful for this situation.

A'ine continued to run towards when she thought everyone was, tripping quite a lot from the lack of foot placement skill. I still don't know what is actually going on. She sent to Ember as she tripped bumping into a tree. Her arms got a little scrapped but she was good otherwise.

Liz crossed her arms about to answer before the rabbit jumped out surprising her. "Is Jora okay?" She yelled at the rabbit wanting to know if her first 'not run away at first mention of vamp blood' was alright.

Jora watched the rabbit go letting out a shaky breath. "I could kill you." She said sadly as she tried pushing it down. She didn't know why it seemed like so much.

Alderic gently touched her arm, smiling reassuringly. "I'd like to see you try." He said quietly as he saw her struggling to keep the fire down. "You finally let it loose once and now it's wanting to get back out." He explained hoping she'd feel better.

Phinesa grinned at her friend grabbing her arm running towards the main doors."Great!" She said happily as her hooves made loud clacking sounds on the hard floor as she ran.
