When an ambitious trick shot at the pool table goes awry, Dev has to jog after a red-striped ball that rolls beneath a nearby booth. As he goes to grab it, he spots a set of car keys nestled right beside it. “Oh, shit.”

Well, on the bright side, the owner couldn’t have gotten that far. “Hey, do you know who these belong to?”

Orion was bored out of his mind, and hardly made any attempt to hide it. When he heard the sound on another person entering the room he glanced in their direction, wanting to know who he had to deal with.

Alex cringed as he watched the fight between the two Deviants in the arena. “Good thing I wasn’t chosen this round or I would be dead right now.”

This was a cruel joke. Esme was being put to the test. She wasn’t in the mood for singing, but of course that was no fucking good for the scientists today. You think she’d be a little more willing since it always brought her a good time, but today she just wanted to go to lunch without being bothered. But that couldn’t happen. Instead they tied her up and left her in a room and said when she was ready to sing, she could be let go. Like some stupid seduction beacon. “Could this get any worse.....” she mumbles, waiting for someone to walk by.

“Look, I’m not that bad of a guy. Okay?” Zadrian stated with a sigh, closing his book to look up at the person, her glare intensifying.

“This might sound crazy, but I had a dream all the people here were acting like fools. And more than usual here.”

Tatiana felt weird. Like her life wasn’t the same anymore. Sure she felt that since being with S.T.A.R., but this time was different. She didn’t feel as naive as she did a few weeks ago. No, now she felt there was some sort of danger lurking. And she didn’t like it. She remembers vivid dreams of kissing a girl she hardly knew. Of dying for that girl. She needed to clear her head. She went off to the gym the moment she woke up, even more determined than ever. Once she got there she didn’t know where to begin. She wanted to do it all. And so she closes her eyes, focuses herself. And when she opens them there were two more versions of her, staring at her with the same determined look. Hardly any pain this time.

She was very lost in her workout when someone approached her....well them.

Snow was falling sparsely as Eira stepped out of a local cafe with fresh hot chocolate in hand. She’d never been partial to hot coffee, much preferring it’ chilled alternate in the summer. The cup warmed her gloved hands and tempted her to take a quick sip. The bus stop was just down the road and, after referring to the time on her phone, she knew she had another few minutes before she’d have to climb aboard the metal claustrophobic hell. She raised the cup to her lips hesitantly, worried about how hot the drink inside was still.

Immediately, she regretted it as the burning hot liquid hit her tongue, effectively wiping out those tastebuds for the remainder of the day. Eira glanced around, scoping out her scenery for anyone potentially staring at her. Negative. With a slight turn of her heel, she set off on her path to the bus stop, removing a single glove in the process. The soft snow hit her bare skin and, rather than melting, stuck there. Snow should be cold, right? But it wasn’t to her. She looked at it for a second as it built a thin layer on her skin. One more quick glance around and she placed her bare hand against the cup. With a slow exhale out, she looked away, not wanting to draw attention by being the weird girl staring at her cup. She felt the snow begin creeping along her skin towards the cup, but it didn’t melt from the heat. Her gaze shifted back to the cup in enough time to see the beautiful web of frost  forming from where her hand was along the sides. Instantly, she could feel the warmth from the cup fade. Perfect temperature. The thin layer of ice was still on her cup but she hoped it would melt before anyone noticed.

She ducked under the awning by the bus stop, escaping from the “cold” snow like everyone else crowding under there. She slipped her glove back on quickly and took a sip of her drink. Leaning against the glass wall of the small shelter as she waited for the bus.

Sylvie always felt peaceful when she was reading a book and peace wasn’t easy to come by these days. That didn’t mean she couldn’t still offer a helping hand. “Do you need help with that?” she asked as she watched someone reach for the top shelf. She wasn’t exactly tall but she had wings to make matters a little easier.

Rory woke up angry, the wolf clawing to come out, at a dream he didn’t remember. He was able to calm himself enough to keep from transforming. But the anger was still bubbling in the back burner of his mind. His stomach growled. Maybe he was just hangry. He hastily got dressed and headed to the dining hall.

“I’m bored out of my mind, so do you want to wreck a little havoc? Make some trouble?” Julie didn’t like when things got too quiet or too dull, and more often than not her reaction was to act out, break something or hurt someone.

There’s a snapping turtle in the middle of the road near the woods, crossing from one pond to another. Dev pulls off to the side of the road and gets out of his car with the intentions of helping. 

But the second Dev approaches, the turtle snaps at him. “Okay buddy. You gotta chill, bro. I’m just here to help you out...”

When Baxter trained, he trained hard, and never was that a more prominent part of his being than here. The doctors wanted them strong, and he was, but beyond that it was the most efficient way of staying in some sort of solitude. Of course, all good things had to come to an end, and as he hopped down from the pull up bar, he came face to face with one of them who seemed to be immobile, be it intentional or not. “Can I help,” he murmured, reaching to the side for his towel to wick some of the sweat from his skin.

Power was all his. A psychosis and falling out wasn’t going to keep him down, and with his family seemingly separated, two by the death, the other by the sheer will of her own keeping, Zadrian seemed to be on his own. Still, he knew exactly what sort of power he had. Mind control had no limit as far as he was concerned, and he quickly found that he needed to take his crown to the next level, stopping at nothing.

“Shut up!” He commanded immediately.

“Don’t ever talk to me about my brothers, you hear me?” Aurora said angry.  “I can take care of myself now.”
