The end of class signaled the beginning of lunch and so together Arslan and Jeff made their way through the crowding halls to the cafeteria. Arslan weaving her way to the salad bar as the line was always shorter she watched as people pushed for their turn to get the lasagne or what ever today's specialty was. A smirk crossing her lips as she went to the drink fountain. Filling her glass with tea she stepped back and felt someone behind her, their hands being placed upon her shoulders. A soft whispering purr in her ear as warm breath caressed her skin. "We need to stop meeting like this, people might start talking." The scent of pine and aspen trees once again catching her senses and made her breath catch in her throat. Hesitating before pulling away and turning around as she raised those sapphire hues to meet his emerald ones. "Maybe you need to stop sneaking up on people then." "But it's so much fun." He grinned slyly as he looked down at her. Briefly his eyes shifted, so fast that she wasn't even certain at first but the shock as she realized that one of his eyes changed red and the other gray before shifting back to emerald. "Corwin..." Her voice a whisper of shock as she dropped the tray. Suddenly she felt a room full of eyes on her and quickly she ran out of the cafeteria to get away from everyone and to gather her nerves. Rushing to get as far away as possible she ran out of the building into the courtyard only to lean against a tree she closed her eyes tight and placing her back against it's harsh bark. "No...it can't...he left. Why would he come back now...?" The courtyard with it's spartan ground cover and single tree in which sat in the center gave no response. Above her the blue sky darkened as clouds gathered hiding the sun from view on what was originally a clear spring day. The temperature dropping rapidly she finally opened er eyes as the gentle breeze that had wrapped around her like a blanket died away into nothing. Those twin sapphires taking in everything from the empty stone bench near the door to the colorful array of tulips which were about to open but closed tight now against the unexpected cold. Turning to face the door she placed a shoulder against the rough bark of the tree and let out a sigh seeing Jeff run out, probably having been searching for her everywhere. Following him were two guards. Skunky being one of them and the other was too new for her to even care about. They must have seen her run out of the building. Staying near the door as Jeff closed the distance while she shook her head. "Now's not the time Jeffery." "There's always time for a friend, what happened?" "I dont' want to hurt you so just stay back." "You'll never hurt me, you care too much." "And that's why I keep you away." Skunky, recognizing that she wasn't even looking at Jeff followed her gaze to see his 'partner' already having his tazer out, a bit too trigger happy it seemed. Arslan guessed he just got out of the military and giving his build was twice the size of Skunky, he was once a Marine. "Put that away, she's the last one you want threatened." Skunky murmered but was ignored. Arslan saw goosebumps rise on the flesh of all three men as the temperature dropped even more. "I'd listen to him if I were you boy. He's seen me annoyed. Neither of you have a clue what this place is truly." Jeff kept walking to her but stopped as she raised her hand up. "That's close enough." He blinked confused as she pulled away from the tree but took another step towards her. "Don't you listen? I said that's close enough." "Arslan you need a friend right now." "I need space right now and that's what you're not understanding." "Jeff get back over here..." Skunky called out as Arslan's eyes flashed red. "I don't know what kind of friends you've had before but I'm not like them." Ignoring the warning he took another step forward. "And the problem with humans is they always have to learn the hard way instead of listening." Ice formed around her feet and spread across the ground as she lowered her hand. The next step Jeff took made him stop as he felt the frozen grass break beneath him. Looking down in shock seeing that each delicate green blade was now covered in a thin layer of ice. Brown eyes widening in shock as his normally deeply tanned face paled while raising to meet Arslan's gaze. Her own eyes had changed from sapphire to an icy blue. "How...?" "You were told to stay back." Her voice hollow as she wanted to scare him now and hoped it would get him to leave her alone. "So the rumors are true...there are monsters here..." "We're everywhere Jeffery, we just stay hidden." Shaking his head, eyes still wide as he stepped back in shock. She recognized the look all too well. Horror, disbelief, the hidden glimmer of finally believing in nightmares reveled. Much like the look of someone who just found out that what was most precious to them had died.
