Alice looks away, "I know. I thought he was nice once though, and I still see that. I get why he doesn't like us, there is a good reason, he's the opposite of us." She murmurs, "Sure, he's a bit of a Jerk but I don't know whether he's capable of doing that to me." She murmurs.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"He was perfectly happy attempting to kill me in the middle of the corridor, so I think that qualifies him as slightly more than a jerk." He raises his eyebrows and looks at her. "But uh, yeah. Nice once, opposite blah blah."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods, "He was testing you. He doesn't like being out numbered and you're strong even though you're new at it." She says lightly

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I don't know why I'm so strong. Or even how to explain what I did or how I did it. It just happened, I didn't even know what was going on. I bet I wouldn't be so strong now, though." He sighs.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods and thinks before replying, "Maybe you powers are controlled by your emotions. You're only weak because of me, you'll get stronger again." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Hmm..." He nods his head, "you're probably right about the emotions thing. And you're definitely right about the weak thing." He sighs. "Whatever. I'm sort of excited for tonight. Y'know, getting my strength back."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods again and grins, "Balance, I like the thought of being balanced again." She says with a warmer smile. She looks at him, "Now, rest." She comments harshly, pushing him back slightly so he was lying.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"But mom!" Fenton says sarcastically, laughing and joking a little. He pouts and widens his eyes like a puppy, pleading with her. "I don't wanna go to bed. It's still light out!" He laughs a little again before properly lying down and turning onto his side. "There. There, I'm resting, you win."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice grins, "good boy." She says patting his head lightly. She smiles, "It's for your own good, yore just going to get weakly, resting will help, I hope." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"It best do. I'm probably going to fall asleep now." He says slowly, his eyes were already half shut. And he was right, he slowly began to fall asleep again, hoping that the next time he woke up was night, and he could get this over and done with.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice now at head, she watches as he falls asleep and remains beside him. She rests a hand against his cheek and smiles weakly, she couldn't help but feel guilty, like this was her fault. She stands and exits the room, hoping that he would sleep until night. She goes to the study and grabs a random book, starting to read up on the history of witches.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton woke up several house later, just as night was falling. He was still weak, perhaps even weaker. The bags around his eyes has worsened and he looked like he hadn't slept for weeks, and his skin was pale. He pulled himself from the bed, and walked slowly over to the door.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice was still reading and was by Fenton's side in an instant when she hears him stand, "It's almost time." She says lightly. She looks around, "Amma." She calls.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma ran up the stairs and helped Alice take Fenton into the spare room and put him on one of the sofas. "You stay sat, boy. I'll bring fresh clothes. It wouldn't be the first time I've dressed you." Fenton went slightly red, but didn't argue against it. Amma rushed off to find clothes for him.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice chuckles lightly, "I'll leave the room whist she changes you, I have a book I want to finish anyway," she says lightly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I... Alright." Fenton smiles at her when she leaves, and when Amma comes back he lets her dress him, but he helps. He wasn't so weak he couldn't fully dress himself, but he did need her assistance. He noticed he was dressed all in black, and he raised his eyebrows. "Black?" He questioned.


"Sort of a joke. Graveyard, you know?" Amma laughs a little.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice moves to sit where she was before, picking up the closed book and smiling, she had gotten into the history and wanted to read more but knew they would have to leave soon

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma went downstairs and then brought up a sandwich for Fenton, then came into the spare room and handed a sandwich to Alice, she also gave her a bottle of blood. "I got all the ingredients." She says to Alice. "When you've finished eating, we'll begin. The moon is almost out and we have to get Fenton to the graveyard."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods and takes the sandwich, opening it and starting to eat. She eats quickly and then stares at the window where the sky was falling dark. She opens the bottle of blood, gulping it down quickly and smiling.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma walks out of the room and goes down the stairs, beginning to put all the ingredients in the car so that she could get them to the graveyard. It was around twenty minutes later when she called for them to come down the stairs.


Fenton stood up and walked to the stairs slowly, holding onto the wall so that he didn't fall over.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice was behind Fenton, ready to catch him incase he fell. She smiles weakly, "We'll get this sorted and you'll be fine." She murmurs with a sigh.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I will be, don't worry about it." Fenton smiles at her and walks down the stairs. When he gets to the bottom of the stairs, he slips, and falls down the last two, landing in a heap on the floor. He is silent for a moment, and Amma came running in, before Fenton breaks out in genuine laughter. "We will never speak of this again," Fenton laughs.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at him and picks him up, to her he weighed like a feather, "Sure we won't, I'll just make sure to remind you for the next forever." She says amusedly, looking over at Amma, "Is everything ready?" She asks.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma nodded her head, "yeah, everything is ready and set up. Come on." She gestures for her to bring Fenton out to the car, and then walks that way herself, picking her jacket up as she walked past the coat rack.


Fenton looked at Alice. "Looks like it's time to go." He smiles weakly and walks slowly and carefully out of the house, he too grabbed a jacket and pulled it on. It was dark outside, very dark, and the full moon was out and shining.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice follows him out, she doesn't grab her jacket, unable to feel much of the cold air that surrounded them. She stares at the full moon and then looks at Fenton, smiling uneasily. She could see everything still, even in the dark, she found it easy.
