Zeria stood up. She wanted to go to her dorm and find something...

"Let's see...I need...my new art pencils, my backup copy of romeo and juliet..."

She was just walking...until she was plowed over by someone. She hit the floor pretty hard. The guy had just smashed straight into her as she'd rounded the corner...

As Cornelius entered the gym he ended up running into a girl on his way past, he was in such a hurry he didn't see her, being how he is he called back to her

"Sorry about that! I'll explain later!"

Cornelius then continued running until he came to a crossroads, there were the girls and boys locker rooms and there was the main gym, as he looked in he could see a swordplay class taking place, taking a trip through to the boy's changing room and hid inside one of the rooms. he stood on the set and crouched down so nobody would spot him, the door was locked so hopefully nobody would think of looking in there.

Vesper had was still talking with Tessa dispite it being most of the way through the fencing clubs gathering and he was happy to talk to her, she was friendly and Vesper found her cute making it easier for him to talk to her and smile honestly.

"So you have been to several schools then?" Tessa asked as Vesper had just explained his recent showing up.

"Yeah fourteen in the last two years as my parents move around heaps and my swordsmanship getting me kicked out", Vesper said before almost laughing. "that sounds stupid dosn't it."

"No it dosn't. Alot of schools don't like fencing and its understandable", Tessa said with a cute grin making Vesper feel warm inside. Vesper then rubbed the back of his head and looked up at the roof and thought of what to say. But before Vesper could speak someone entered the hall in a panic. A plain girl with brown hair burst into the room crying and shaking which was very worrying. Several people including Vesper and Tessa ran over to the girl to see what the problem was.

"Mani... not Mani... why Mani", was all the girl said between her tears.

"Alice whats wrong?" Tessa asked the girl who shock her head before Vesper walked infront of her and held her so that she looked him in the eyes and as he was giving her a serious stair this was pretty freaky for them girl.

"What is wrong?" Vesper asked plainly and after a few seconds the girl answered.

"Mani is dead... she was attacked like the rest", the girl said before Vesper let her go causing her to run at a nearby male fencer and start crying heavily into his chest. Vesper drew his sword and ran outside with several fencers in persuit. Vesper found the body quickly as there was already a large group gathered outside near the lake, Vesper pushed through the group as most were younger students and found a girls body lying dead on the surface of the lake with a dagger sticking out of her chest. Vesper eyes widened in shock as he looked at the note between the dagger and the girls breast. "I'll be back" the note simply said and Vesper's feeling in the back of his head got deeper and the feeling that something bad was going to happen got bigger and darker and even Tessa hugging onto Vespers arm in shock didn't help.

Stephen stood, unaware of what had happened at the other side of the school. His eyes were still closed as he allowed the rain to beat down heavily on his shoulders. His eyelids slowly slid apart as his head raised towards the sky. "Hownam!!" he heard shouted from behind him and as he turned around he saw a distressed looking Boy "whats wrong?" Stephen inquired. the boy looked at the floor "it.....it's just...that" Stephen could tell there was something wrong "She is dead. Mani is dead"

Stephen's eyes shot open. "No" Stephen announced as he fell to his hands and knees "why is it happening here" Stephen's hands clenched into fists on the floor. "WHY ARE THEY AFTER THIS SCHOOL!!!!!" stephen shouted at the top of his voice before punching the floor 3 or 4 times. his eyes had begun to water.

Stephen slowly got to his feet and looked at the boy who told him "where is she?" the boy looked down "the gym" Stephen strode past the boy, wiping his eyes as he walked. Minutes later he was looking over the lake after pushing his way through the crowd. "someone get a teacher or Something" he announce to the group that had appeared around the lake. Stephen saw Vesper and walked over to him "I'm gunna go in and get her" he informed the swordsman before he turned to the lake.

Zeria caught wind of the news too and had come out, a black hoodie drawn over her so she didn't get too wet, and long pants put on.

"So it seems we've lost another..."

She felt tears well up in her eyes. She hadn't known Mani much, but it still didn't warrant death. She saw Stephen and heard him say he was going to go in.

"Stephen, wait. Let me do it. I've got more clothing on than you, so there's a less chance I'll get sick from jumping into that cold water. Plus, I was on the swimming team at my last school. Just let me do it...please..."

September 7, 2008, 6:28 PM

Stephen looked at Zeria "Swimming team doesn't beat life guard, it's what i do Z" Stephen then turned and hesitate. he grabbed the Bottom of his T-shirt and pulled it off. he handed it to Zeria with a smirk on his face "It's my favorite T-shirt" Stephen the jumped into the freezing cold lake and began to swim towards the body.

When he got to the body Stephen handled the dead Girl as though she was alive,he gently placed his hand under her chin for the toe and then began swimming back to the Side of the lake. when he got his hand on the side of the lake Stephen pulled the girl so she was rested against the side and looked up "hey guys help me out here" he announced to some of the Students to help him get the girl from the water.

September 7, 2008, 6:40 PM

Zeria put Stephen's shirt in her pocket and helped pull the girl out of the water, then held out her hand to assist Stephen.

"Come on, Hownam. You're gonna get sick the longer you stay in there"

She took off her super large black hoodie and held it in one hand, the other hand still held out to Stephen. Her black hoodie would be big enough for him to wear, so she figured letting him have it to keep warm and less chance of being sick was a good idea...

"Someone make sure to get the teachers! Let them know another student is dead!"
"Alright!"

A 3rd year ran off and Zeria waited for Stephen to take her hand...

Vesper watched silently as Stephan swum to the girl and carefully took her back to the shore. Vesper then turned and walked silently out of the crowd as this image of the dead girl brought back some nasty memories of when he wasn't with his foster parents. Vesper had watched his parents die and now seeing this girl was a bit much, the walls of Vespers emotionless attitude were collapsing and he knew he didn't have long till he burst into tears.

"Vesper wait", Tessa called as she ran after Vesper who had taken a seat at the base of a tree far away from the group. Vesper felt all the bottled up emotions he kept back starting to erupt.

"Tessa, please leave me alone", Vesper managed even though his voice was uneven and shaky.

"Please talk to me, were friends. You can trust me", Tessa said kindly making Vesper want to hold her amongst his sadness and anger but held back this feeling. Vesper sat there for a few seconds before standing bolt upright and swinging his sword into the trees trunk. The sword cut halfway through the thick oak before stopping, Vesper felt slightly better after this and sat back down as Tessa looked at the sword.

"Wow your strong", Tessa said impressed making Vesper feel slightly better again but it would take a while before his emotions settles down and he knew he was going to do some stupid things over this time. Vesper breathed calmly as his whole body shock not from the cold but from him being scared of the memories of his past. Tessa saw this and came right up next to him and just sat there quietly before Vesper started silently crying. After a few seconds Tessa started to hug Vesper making him feel a lot better but he still needed this out of his system and that meant he would cry for a few minutes still.

Stephen took Vespers hand as the young Red head helped him from the cold lake. as he got onto dry land he was shaking in the cold, the rain still pouring. Stephen dropped to one knee from exhaustion. his temperature was making him feel weaker than he actually was.

"thanks for helping me out Zeria" he muttered as he tried standing back up, with no success, he was freezing cold. Every part of his body was shivering. he was on his hands and knees. "Fuck me, It's fucking freezing"
