Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

My room.


Scarlet sighed, this was getting annoying. Was Why'nn even worth it right now. The girl was to much of a mess to even work with." Hey I'm going to need you to calm down. Forget about colors. Its clear you don't want to be here. Leave if you want, nothing will happen to you or me."

James raised his head as he felt Why'nn's message within his mind, calling out to him.  Worried for her safety, James rushed upstairs, realizing that the call for help was coming from a teacher's room.  Without thinking, James rushed down the hallway and flung open the door Why'nn was behind.


"Why'nn?  What's wrong?"
 
Mistress's Room


@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Now Why'nn was too confused to move.  Okay, no colors.  Her breathing slowed a little bit.  "I do not know what you want from me, Mistress!  Do you want me here or not?  I... You spoke ill of my god, you tried to give me colors but you say you want to help, I do not know what to do and I will let you help me if you help me, just tell me what to do!"  Her head pounded.  So much had happened today and she didn't know how to feel about anything anymore.  Well, she knew how she felt about Father and about James, she had more family now with Grim and his 'clan,' too, but she had almost lost her faith, died three times, and didn't know what to do here or why she was called here in the first place.


As James entered, Why'nn whimpered and went to him, embracing him tightly.  "I am confused.  I do not know what is going on or what is supposed to be going on.  Mistress tried to give me colors and I do not know...  She says she wishes to help, I do not know what is happening."

"If I told you what I really wanted you wouldn't like it very much, now go. Come back when you aren't such a mess." She looked to James. "I never told you to enter. Get out!" Her voice cold. She back away from Why'nn. The girl wasn't in a state to do anything now. She wasn't going to make any ground on this issue.


she tried to hide her frustration.

Mistress's Room

"A...A mess?"  Her arms dropped from around James and she began to move toward the door, head hung in confusion and shame.  She was very close to crying again and she hated herself for it.  Was she so pathetic?  Apparently.  But she didn't want to be pathetic or a mess.  She wanted to get better, but no one was guiding her!  Even though Father was there for her, he left everything up to her.  He rarely offered guidance until she gravely needed it.  So how was she supposed to get better?  Mother was barely there for her anymore and she didn't have many connections with other staff.  Right as she got to the door, she turned and glared at Mistress.  "Maybe I would not be a mess if I had someone to help me.  But you apparently do not wish to help me until I am already fixed.  I cannot be fixed unless someone fixes me!  Maybe I am too much of a mess for anyone to deal with.  It seems like the only think anyone does here is make the problem worse!"  Now she moved to leave.

James frowned and wrapped his arms around Why'nn, gently stroking her hair.  She was clearly upset, and she needed to calm down.


"Shh...  It's okay Why'nn...  You're not a mess.  You're just fine.  If you want help, I can help you."


A thought occurred to James.  A sudden temptation to try something that he knew Why'nn wouldn't normally approve of.  Perhaps it was that book he'd been given that made him want to do this, perhaps it was something else, but he couldn't let Why'nn stay upset like this.  He looked down at the garrote bracelet he'd given her, at the heavy, dark grey metallic magnet that looked like a simple pendant.  If Why'nn was opposed to colors, maybe that would work.  James reached down to her wrist and took the bracelet off, swinging the pendant in fron of her face in a slow, lazy arc.


"Look Why'nn, see?  No nasty colors.  Just gray.  A shiny, eye-catching gray going back and forth... back and forth...  So calming and relaxing..."
 
My room.


Scarlet looked towards Why'nn. "I'm sorry for being harsh. Get some rest and come back tomorrow. I promise I will help you."  She gave a nod. "You aren't a mess you're just tired. I know how long this day has been for you." She looked to James. "Make sure she gets some re... "Her eyes filled with rsge seeing what he was doing. She moved cat quick and grabed James by his collar and slammed him into the wall.


"Don't you dare."

Why'nn began to relax as he held her, stroking her hair.  She was tired, angry, upset, didn't want to deal with anything, so when James took her garrote bracelet off and began to swing it in front of her eyes.  She followed it.  Back and forth, back and forth.  Slow, slow, relaxing.  He was right.  It was nice and calming.  So ready was she to be helped, to be put under, for all the confusing thoughts to rest, that her eyelids began to droop.  Even as James was snatched away, she swayed, halfway between waking and trance.

James was surprised by Scarlet's sudden movement, gripping the bracelet tightly in his hand as he was slammed against the wall.  He glared at Scarlet, speaking to her quietly so he didn't wake Why'nn.


"What?  Unlike you, I'm actually trying to help her."


There was something about the was James was looking at Scarlet that was... different.  There was something... dark in his eyes.  His gaze dropped to Scarlet's chest, and the James grinned slightly.


"Or are you actually that scared that I could do something better than you?"


James nodded towards Why'nn, though his eyes were still on Scarlet's chest.


"From the looks of it, Why'nn agrees with me."
 
My room.


"Unlike you, I might care about her well being. She's not in the right mindset to be put under stupid. Unless you want a little slave girl you'll stop." Scarlet followed his eyes and gave a wicked grin. "Like what you see little boy. To bad I'm way to much for you to handle." She looked at the braclet that was swinging. 


"And you stole my style!"

@folclor @StartingOver


James chuckled as Scarlet complained about him stealing her style.


"Oh, do you like the bracelet?  I gave it to Why'nn at lunch today.  She loved it, as I think you can tell.  Of course, hypnosis isn't what it's for.  It's actually for strangling people, and to be honest I'm surprised she hasn't used it on you.  Whatever the case, I'd say she's in the perfect mindset for what you want with her.  Of course, you'd need something with no color, something like this bracelet of hers.  But right now I've got it, and trust me..."  James tightened his grip on the bracelet, a barrier forming around his hand.  "I've got a strong grip."


James's gave dropped back to her chest.


"If I recall, earlier, you offered to show me what a "real woman" fee;s like..."


James's free hand reached up and gave Scarlet's chest a quick squeeze.


"So, that's what it's like?  Not bad, but Why'nn's better."

"If you think thats what I need to work my magic then you're as stupid as I thought." She chuckled.


"I don't need anything you have, I have enough to..." Her eyes looked down at him squezzing her chest. She looked up at him. Her hand that was around her collar went up to his chin and lifted his head so she was looking at him in the eye. Then she as hard as she could head butted the shit out of him. "Looks like you need to be taught manners child, you think your dark and tough now. You haven't been to depths I've been to. You don't know what it's like to watch your family die in front of you. You don't have the balls to kill everyone who had anything to do with it. You are still nothing compared to me.  I would hurt you more, but you'll enjoy it you sick fuck!"

Her eyes were locked on the pendant.  The words didn't matter, the actions didn't matter.  As the pendant dropped, so did she.  Now in trance, she sat on the floor, half lidded eyes slightly glazed, mouth just slightly open.  Her body was completely relaxed.  Why'nn waited for someone to put thoughts into her mind now.

James chuckled as Scarlet screamed at him, finding it funny how despite the way she tried to act in control, she was clearly too emotional for the persona she tried to convey.


"Oh, and you think you're some kind of irresistible hypno-succubus?  Some goddess of mind-control and sex-appeal?  Maybe you should look in the mirror, because right now I don't even need to be an adult to see you as a whiny girl trying to act like a grown-up.  Maybe you are better than me, but that doesn't change the fact that I just did something that you've tried and failed to do three times already."


James nodded at Why'nn, who sat entranced on the floor, waiting for someone to give her a command.
 
My room


Scarlet grinned  from ear to ear. "I am better than you, and besides you didn't have a Shard getting in your way, but he's dead now isn't he? That's what happens when you fuck with me James. You go away, and never come back." Scarlet was aware that Shard was gone, the lack of chaos was easy to see. She was taking credit for it cause why not? "Now if you actually had a clue what awaits you, you'd be nicer to me, but you're just a dumb pawn in this game. Now Why'nn is going to go to sleep and wake up not being under either of our control, got it!"

@folclor @StartingOver


James grinned back at Scarlet, even though she gave Why'nn a command.


"Oh I don't?  Let me guess...  Based on that fact that you're trying to brainwash Why'nn, and you keep alluding to Nishira having something horrible planned for me like a good little whistle-blower, I'd guess that she wants you to hypnotize me at some point too.  Hmm, maybe I should start letting the other apprentices know?  Maybe I should let the whole school know?  In fact, during the next time I see her, maybe I should let Nishira know that you told me everything, without even meaning to?"

As the command exited her lips, Scarlet would feel the pain of the binding awakening within her and she would know why.  She'd just defied a direct order.  The pain intensified as she let Nishira's plot out to James.


Why'nn heard her name spoken and listened very carefully to the words that came next.  Her eyes closed and she laid down on the floor, falling asleep.  Though she was tired enough to sleep through the rest of the day, Scarlet's words told her she needed to wake up quickly.  Only a couple minutes after she entered unconsciousness, she woke.  No longer under trance, she was, once again, agitated.  She didn't know what had happened or why she was laying on the floor.  Quickly, Why'nn got to her feet.  "What are you doing?  What is going on?!  Mistress, what are you doing to James?  Let him down!"  She would've used her touch against Scarlet, but she didn't have that ability at the moment.
 
My room.


Scarlet started to laugh. She shut her eyes and began to laugh harder. "What will that solve stupid? Please tell me what good will that do you? You're bound stupid, either you do what she says or you die. Everyone who's bound will fall under the same fate. It doesn't matter what you think you know. Go ahead, tell the world that big hero James knows the evil plot." She eyes James. "It won't help you." She looked to Why'nn who was free and seemed better off.


"Come see me tomorrow please." She said softly and dropped James. "You have no idea what's coming James." She stood back and tried her hardest to hide the pain in her body.

Ivela frowned and shook her head at Violet. "I haven't gotten in any trouble. I just finally have somebody to take orders from. I have a purpose again. I'm a part of something bigger than myself. I am glad you seem to have calmed down." Ivela really didn't regret being bound. After so long of doing nothing, and being beneath the notice of everyone, it felt nice for somebody to take an interest in her again. Even if that somebody was a possibly psycho lich.


Secondary Ritual Room


@folclor


Lillith looked at her now bloodstained and ripped dress with a scowl. She looked up at Nishira as she was leaving. "You know I need a new dress now, right? Also, Demonology? I suppose I could teach that.  As far as apprentices go, I doubt there are any children here who wouldn't annoy me. Except for the murderous child, maybe." Lillith walked out of the ritual room and into the headmistress' office behind her.

@StartingOver @TommyGun15


The pain intensified.  Now she was defying the order even more, the command that echoed in her mind, reminding her.  She had to try, at least try if it wasn't going to build to a deathly level.  Yes, the binding would kill her for defying Nishira so completely.


Why'nn was confused, angry, and Mistress's words didn't make any sense.  "Come back tomorrow?  You promised to help me!  You stated you wanted to help and when I need help you throw me away!"  The hurt was beginning to grow.  "You expect me to come back tomorrow?  You expect me to be here with you, alone, knowing you do not care to help me?  No!  Leave me alo-... awa...  FORGET IT!"  It seemed she was having trouble with words now.


My Office


@Lunaria Silver


Nisira nodded.  "You'll find your chambers on the third floor.  It will have everything you need, including new dresses.  And I can see Gareth being a good fit for you."  She smiled brightly.  "He's already bound so binding him to you will not be difficult."
 
My room.


Scarlet gritted her feeth. "I... I was upset with myself. I don't ... I didn't understand your past like I thought and I made you upset. I'm truly sorry, forgive me Why'nn." She looked to James.


"You're wrong. I'm not to touch you. Nishira wishes to deal with you herself. That's why you read that book." It was a lie, she was slated to go after James, but she knew he was given the book and Nishira had more than likley made it know that she was intrested in him reading it. Her lie was a damn good one that was rooted in reality .He had no reason to not believe her.


@folclor @TommyGun15


Violet cocked her head to the side.


"What do you mean by that Ivela... You're your own person. You don't have to answer to anyone." Violet looked concerned and confused.

James nodded as Scarlet gave her explanation, taking no small amount of pleasure in the pain she was clearly feeling.  He gently wrapped his arm around her in a supportive, almost comforting way, trying to walk her over to a chair so she could sit.  As he did so, he whispered in her ear, too quiet for Why'nn to notice.


"Alright, I'll admit that your story is fairly plausible.  But..."  James grinned  "That's no reason I can't go around telling everyone my theory anyway.  Which will still accomplish the goal of making Nishira livid at you."


James was a bit surpised that Scarlet hadn't thought to use mind magic or hypnosis to make him forget what he'd figured out, or even try to help her.  Regardless, once James was done helping Scarlet, or at least, as much as she'd allow, James sat on a couch and patted the seat next to him, smiling at Why'nn.


"Hey Why'nn, it's alright.  Miss Scarlet's just feeling a bit under the weather, and she's understandably feeling a bit short.  Why don't you take a seat and we can keep her company until she's feeling better?"


Was he gloating?  Yes.  Was that going to stop him?  No.

Scarlet let out growl as he touched her. She sat down on the chair and for a split second the vicious predator came out In her eyes. She wanted blood. The look went away as her mind started to whirl. The mission was for them and not anybody else so his gamble to tell the others wasn't going to solve anything. He was trying to play a game without knowing all the variables. This brought a slight grin to her face.  He was also trying to play a game with someone who was better than him and stronger. Maybe allowing him to think he got one over on her would be better. He was already stupidly talking her up to Why'nn. 


"Yes... I've been weak. I got very mad at you, I was very wrong."


she let her eyes fall to the pendant before back up to James. The bait was set.

Why'nn's emotional state hadn't changed and everyone sitting down, everyone being so calm, just threw her off more.  It was like they were involved in some dance and she didn't know the steps.  But there was James, inviting her to sit.  She didn't want him to cast her away.  She would do anything for him.  The girl looked down, then entered the room once more, closed the door behind her (it always paid to be courteous).  For a moment she seemed to rethink her decision, but came to sit beside James anyway.


"Are you taking the wire back?" she asked, her voice soft.  She wouldn't blame him.  Her performance was abhorrent.

James smiled and hugged Why'nn, giving her a quick kiss as he wrapped the bracelet around her arm again.


"Of course not Why'nn.  It's yours.  Miss Scarlet was just so interested in it, and you were taking a nap, and I couldn't bear to wake you when you looked so peaceful."
