*I'm not sure how Victor would end up interacting with Quin at this time. Sorry *

Victor noticed that Aaliyah was alone. He decided now was the time to ask.

"Hi." He said, trying (with surprising success) to direct his power away from her so as not to mess up her thoughts. "I'm Victor, I believe we met briefly earlier."

Aaliyah looked at him blankly for a moment, then smiled as she remembered.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I wasn't really in the mood for talking at the time."

"That's understandable." Victor said politely. "Actually, Aaliyah...that is your name, isn't it?"

She nodded.

"Just making sure," Victor continued, "I saw you earlier today. I don't know if you noticed, but I was there when you were practicing with your fire control."

"Oh." She seemed embarrassed. "You saw me mess up?"

"Actually, and I apologise in advance, I sort of caused you to mess up."

She gave him a confused and slightly concerned look. He shrugged.

"I hate to say this, but...well, I was practicing my own ability on you."

For a moment, Victor thought she was about to slap him. Luckily, she just scowled.

"That's very rude of you." She said. Victor wasn't sure if she meant to sound humorous, but he couldn't help himself from smiling.

"I know. I'm sorry. The thing is, is I don't really have much control over my power. I'm training on people so that I can control it better, so that I don't unconsciously nullify other people's powers. Someone saw what I was doing and got into my head to put an end to my malicious behaviour, and in the process enhanced your powers."

"Yeah, I wondered how that happened."

"Right. But here's the problem - I don't know how to enhance people's powers. I barely even know how to focus my nullifying power on individuals - usually everyone within a few metres of me is unable to use their powers or think. Right now I'm trying to keep your head clear, at his expense."

Victor pointed at the person who he was intentionally nullifying, thus preventing his power from having much effect on Aaliyah. Aaliyah tutted.

"So I'm just wondering," Victor continued, "did you...'feel' anything which you think might help me control my power? Trust me, it would be for everyone's good if I could control it."

It appears dear Ashlyn is all alone too. (: Anyone care to talk to her? *crickets chirp* (;

Well if you really don't have any idea what to write for Quin, Jason Iclisa and Co. are already heading for the gardens. Maybe they interupt before Quin can say anything to Sonnet? I dunno. Sorry.

Quin

Her eyes flashed expectantly as they sat under the old willow. It was his favorite tree in Tarragon, with rich brown branches and beautiful silver leaves that scattered the ground like snow. On windy days, when the skies where too hazardous to fly in, he would seek refuge in the willows deep thicket. Watching intently as the world blurred by around him. He could think nowhere else to bring her than the willow; nowhere else seemed worthy enough.
"Quin?" he shook himself, looking back at her.
"You had something to tell me?"
He took a deep breath, thoughtlessly mesmerized like he never thought possible.
"Not here" Sonnet tilted her head to the side, confused. Quin let his hand reach for hers as he pulled her gently up to the first branch, then the second and the third until they reached the oaks centre.
They climbed in silence , Quin over come with a new sense of calm that he liked to believe was mutual.
The branches seemed to open out in front of them, creating a window threw the leaves over the whole of Tarragon.
Sonnet's eyes locked with his for a second, her pupils blazing intently; and then suddenly she wasn't his best friend any more, she wasn't his lunch date, she was so much more than that.
Wordlessly he leaned towards her, desperate to feel her pounding heart against his. She didn't flinch, or freeze she leaned further, matching him in perfect symmetry. Then without any more hesitation, he pressed his lips against hers and for a few short seconds, they kissed.

(i know a lot didn't happen but I didn't know what to write)

Lee~

A walk seemed like a good idea to me. I was happy just to talk to anyone here, as we were walking out, Jason saw some guy, the one from the fight earlier. "Hey Mikael want to come for a walk?" he called out as the guy got up from his chair and followed us.

I was kind of intimidated by him, he seemed so distant right now, but earlier he was so. . .so scary. "Hi, I'm Lee, and this is Iclisa." I introduced happily.

"Hey, I'm Mikael." he replied. I wasn't really paying attention when I went to open the door to outside and I accidently grabbed someones arm!

"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry." I stammered. I hated to get people mad, probably had to do with my parents I had a flashback of long ago but dismissed it, as I looked up at the girl who's arm I had grabbed.

*I didn't know what to write, and so I decide to bring in Ashlyn. That way you can post WhiteTiger93*

thanks face engine

Aaliyah

I stared at Victor for a moment. Thank god, it hadn't been my fault I'd messed up, it was his. Well that sure explained a lot! I tried to think back to the moment when he'd been nullifying my powers to see if I could help. Honestly though, I'd felt nothing. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I'm sorry, I didn't feel anything" I watched his face fall and instantly felt bad. It had to be hell worrying about everyone around you all the time because their failures were quite possibly you fault. "But," I added, "If you really need my help you might be able to practice controlling your powers on me. If that's what you need."

*sry it's short I don't know how he'd react*

Iclisa

i did not know that there was this people coming to the garden with us. two new people came and as usual i felt a little awkward about this situation.

The garden was beautiful. Jason was right about this. We sat down by a tree with its petal gently falling beneath us. The full moon gazed above and i can clearly see the stars. I reached my hands out and tried to hold one. They seem so far away.

Everyone was introducing to each other. I smiled gently before i tug my cap closer to my face.

"Hey," i looked beside me and saw a blonde girl with her hair tugged beneath her head sitting before the tree with her head touching her knees. "My name is Ashlyn, whats yours" she smiled bubbly and i smiled back.

"Ic...Iclisa," i said watching the pond at the bottom from where we are.

"Hi, Iclisa, so whats your power. I control people's mind."

from that on, i squirmed a little but held back my emotions. I feared people with those powers. I am just scared that they may manipulate me without my knowledge of it.

"I am healer and maybe a elementalist. I control metal partially." i said.

"Thats amazing," she said as if it was a big thing. I try to settle down for a while while we cointinued this conversation. It was such a beatiful. I wish it will last forever.

I'm no good with romance but I will try my best ^^

Sonnet

Impulsively, her hand sliped away from his and tangled in his thick, dark hair as he tried to break the kiss that was too short for her. She met his lips once more. Her heart was throbbing and grating against her ribs, and she could feel his own heart doing the same. The whole world ceased to exist; it was just her and him, floating in this happy dream.
They broke apart due to the need for air, their breathing the only noise in the still night. She went a little red and looked down, biting her lip to hide the goofy grin that threatened to emerge.
"Sonnet, is there something wrong? I'm sorry if you... didn't want me to do that." She looked up to meet his adorable, quizzical expression, and couldn't contain the smile.
"Didn't want you to do that? Quin, I practically tackled you out of the tree," she laughed softly.
His expression brightened as he said truthfully, "Well... I didn't mind that."
They laughed together as they locked eyes again, her happy glow almost seeming to illuminate them as they sat in the dark boughs of the oak.

*I tried, I really did! Lol.*

Mikael

"Well hello Lee." I turned to Jason. "Did you see me and Jaden earlier?"
"Yeah man, what happened?"
"He hit that girl, Sonnet, i think her name is and i juts went mental. You never hit girls. It's just no right."
"Hey Mikey, it's alright i understand."

*Sorry it's short im just going out*

Skull It Kayden not Jayden, I think?

Jason

"wow Mikey its alright I understand' I said and Smiled as we walked through the beuitiful garden it was cool.

"hey control yourself bro" I shouted seeing him and Sonnet in a tree I didn't see his reaction.

"I hate this place, I wish we could be free you know use are powers in the real world" I said and Mikael laughed.

"why so you could be a superhero" He joked.

"no you asshole so I could do fun stuff destruction and that, well maybe not destruction but smething fun" I said.

Sonnet

She peered over the edge of the tree, scowling at Quin's brother.
"Very mature Jason," Quin called behind her, he too peaking out from the branches.
"Woo! Sonnet and Quin, in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" For once, the childish play school rhyme could actually be applied to real life. Sonnet couldn't help but laugh at Jason.
"You're such a goof!" All Jason did in response was continue with the rhyme, but he didn't get very far before Quin threw a branch at him.
"Oi!" he yelled, receiving the well aimed branch in the face. All the teenagers fell about laughing.

For a moment, Victor thought that he would have to start all over again in his search for a way to control his power. And in a way he would, but Aaliyah's suggestion gave him hope that he might do better this time around - and without a guilty conscience.

"Really?" Victor asked. "Because I don't want to if you don't-"

"It's fine." Aaliyah smiled.

Victor smiled back, and in his joy hugged her.

"Thank you!" He broke the embrace quickly for fear of making her feel awkward. "That would really help."

He suddenly found he had nothing to talk about. He hated it when conversations ended like that. So he said the first thing that came to his mind.

"So...you can control fire? That must be pretty cool."

Jason

"Yeah who's mature now Quin" I said getting up and feeling my self blush as everybody laughed. well it was pretty funny.

"payback" I said and ran at Quin he tried to get up but had to be careful because he was on a branch. I easily jumped up the 5 meters to the branch Quin was on. I grabbed him and plummeted down over the other side until we crashed into the grass, My body went at the bottom so Quin wouldn't get hurt. I still picked him up and then dropped him before nudging him. It was meant to be light but with my strength it knocked him right over.

"sorry bro" I said helping him up and heard Lees voice.
"nothing like brotherly love" She joked and some people laughed I walked back to them and I think Quin went back to Sonnet.

Aaliyah:

I studied Victor with a mixture of awkwardness and pleasure that I was sure made me look a little odd. That hug hadn't been terrible.
"Um, yeah, I guess. Actually not really. I like it and all, being able to control fire. But if it means being here..." I shook my head, "It's not worth it." I lowered my voice as a couple of kids walked by us, "I actually promised after the fight earlier that I wouldn't use my powers again. This doesn't really count though. So...tomorrow after classes?"

He nodded

"sounds good."

Lee~

"This place may be a hell hole. . .but you can still find happiness." I noted as Iclisa walked up.

"At times you may think that, but wait till you go to the doctor." she whispered, she was to quite to nervous. She must have a bad past in order for her to be like this, she was so jumpy even when we were all relaxed.

"You might be right." I said. "But for the first time in awhile this is the happiest I have been." I muttered as I looked up at the moon, it was beautiful. I've always took a certain interest in the moon, it was always interesting to me. I never really gave it much thought thou.
