Hannah quirked an eyebrow, "Funny....I kept moving it because I thought you were one of us...." As the hologram died, she looked towards a window and frowned deeply. "It's a family trait...comes with the cynical talking voice in the skull..." Tapping the side of one eye, her Cheshire grin reformed as leaned towards him, " What do you mean, that one..."

 

[bettsyboy]

another grin spread across Marco's face as he mimicked what she said earlier with the name changed.


"There are things no one needs to know, Hannah, even you..."


he could hear some voices outside, and footsteps coming... Ordinators, a squad of them


"Roses are red, Violets are are blue, take my hand Hannah, 'cos they're coming for you..."


he held out his hand, with his other hand he pointed it at the ground, readying a teleportation spell, and with her surrounded by ordinators fast closing in, it was her best chance for escape, and they could continue their discussion if she wished.

 

[Esme]

Hearing the feet, and the voices, Hannah narrowed her eyes as Marco spoke. She should have left. She should have gone with the calling that was getting stronger the longer she was away. She should have listened to the voice in her head. She shouldn't have taken his hand.

 

[bettsyboy]

they were teleported away, the teleportation was rough but they got through in one piece, appearing high up a nearby mountain overlooking the school from an angle that made the non-tower its visible.


"there, i guess now we can continue if you want..."


Marco took a few steps back, sitting on a nearby rock.


"Hannah, i know Nexter is a dangerous cancer on this world, but don't underestimate him, i've seen his type before, they're cunning, devious, powerful and charismatic, i'm not saying you should avoid him, just... be careful, alright? i'd never forgive myself if something hapened to you..."

 

[Esme]

Drawing in a sharp breath, Hannah looked at Marco as he sat. Choosing to stand, she scanned the ground around them, looking for potential bugging areas. "You don't have to warn me about anything, Marcus. I've been by his side for 12 long years. He trusts me more than he did my mother, and she was his top dog. He's made it very clear where I stand in his view, and as much as it makes me sick, I've played along....because I know exactly what he is and what he can do."

 

[bettsyboy]

Marco nodded "alright Hannah, i believe you... just remember, if anything goes wrong and you need to lay low for a bit, you can always come and see me... i wanna be you're friend Hannah, in this matter at least we're on the same side... alright?"


meanwhile, back in the school James was still searching for Nellie


"Nellie!? where are you?"


soon he heard something fall inside the janitor's closet, he figured it was just some seniors doing "their thing"... or a a couple of teachers... or a senior and a teacher... he shook his head, his imagination was running wild on him.


he listened very carefully, no giggling, no "shh" no sounds, he figured it wouldn't hurt, he opened the cupboard and inside he found Nellie


"Nellie! what happened to you!? are you okay?"

 

[Esme]

"Nothing is going to go wrong. And you will not remember any of this." Hannah said, a clock dangling down from her hand as she whipped every trace her from today, even her magical signature, from his mind and the grounds before disappearing, leaving only the message, "Stay away from the young water child...."

Nellie stirred slightly, before cracking one eye open, and screaming. As her hand connected with James' face, she shot up. "What the hell you perv of a human!" She screeched, fully convinced he had done something to her, and that...given the surroundings being a closet, wasn't good. Quickly moving away from him, and out of the closet, she darted towards the stairs, nearly tripping down them as she rounded down a set of them and heading quickly towards the girl's set of dorms. With a pounding in her head from a reason she didn't understand, she ran faster, sliding to a stop in front of her shared room, and ducked inside, leaning against the door and breathing hard.

 

[bettsyboy]

after hannah said he would not remmeber any of her, he just grinned, and thought to himself "no, but the recordings will..."


and then, his memories were erased, for some reason he found himself near the top of the mountain


"what the!? why am i here?... hello?... huh..."


---


James went flying back, a trail of blood following his face


he slammed against the wall on the other side, holding his nose as some tears exited his eyes


"OW! what the hell!?"


she ran off, he screamed after her


"yeah run, if thats what i get for trying to help you then i dont wanna see you again!"


he got to his feet slowly, one hand holding his nose and the other wiping his eyes


"ow.. i think its broken..."

 

[Esme]

Sliding down the door, Nellie sat there for a while, before Ross' voice drew her attention. "I know....rationality is required around humans....but....but but...." She sniffled a little, "I just...I thought of the preacher...." The flip of Gullivan moving in his bowl made her frown, and she shrugged, before pushing off the door, not wanting to get caught by her roommate and slipped into her room. Looking at her friends for a moment, she shrugged, "...I just..I don't want to come that close to dying again...not by a human."


Looking at her 'bed', she pulled the glass door open, before stepping inside and hitting the fill button. Taking in one last breath of normal air before the water fell over her and she shifted to what she really was. Twirling for a moment in the water, she sighed softly, before curling up in the middle of the tube and closing her eyes.

 

[bettsyboy]

James made it back to his room, his nose had finally stopped vledin, around him some groups of guys were talking, he got to his door and opened it, going in and locking it behind him.


"ugh what a day... where the hell is Ili?"


he looked in the pot, nowhere.. then when he went for a pee he saw it, one small smudge of slime on the bathroom cabinet... he got flushed, probably trying to re-fill his water supplies and pumped the flush button.


"wow... well at least i thik hes stil alive, but still it'll be a pain in the ass for him to "extract" all that gunk hes gonna come across in the sewer..."


after finishing, he walked back to his bed and flopped onto it, it sucked that Nellie punched him, he was getting a crush on her, but that felt out the window by now.
