Eliza, through some unknown grace, managed to get back to her room unseen, collapsing on the bed. Then, and only then did the tears come, trailing down her face as she curled up around her pillow and sobbed. Finally, after much coaxing, she summoned Lree, who she clung to like a drowning woman, embraged by a circle of wings and sung to by the most perfect voice to ever exist. Eliza found Lree's warmth and care comforting, but not enough to stem the tears and the pain of loss.

"I want to at least try...I'll do anything to get out of here...."Adia said.

Liam (Cont.) *Sorry it took so long*
 

Liam bowed his head slowly before turning and making his way towards the student dorm rooms. The first and most obvious choice would be to go to his own student's room. The thud of his boots were announcement enough that he was in the hall. He passed by several doors and even passed those that were empty, it was well after curfew, perhaps it was a good idea to initiate this training excercise. When he came to his student's room, he wouldn't even bother with the well mannered knock, he simply used his key and and forced his entry into the room. To his annoyance, but not surprise, he found that his student was not in her room. He drew in a breath of... satisfaction. The boots turned a sharp angle as he walked to the dorm room's intercom system. He proceded to check if anyone was watching before punching in the secret code to reach the Headmaster's intercom system. As the com system buzzed into activation, he immediately spoke in a calm manner. "Headmaster, My student has left her quaters after curfew, I believe she has taken several other students, and they are somewhere on campus."

He considered his answer for a moment before responding into the intercom system. "I do not believe Breaths would be necessary at this point. If the students receive a warning to report to the training grounds, I'll make sure that they regret sneaking out. It would be a shame to lose some promising student to this incident."

Liam (Anyone know where a guy can get cheap pants?)
 

"As you wish..." He turned off the intercom system and sealed the exits and doorways that lead into the dorms. This would prevent the students who were sneaking out to return to their dorms without reporting directly to him. He then proceded to the Training grounds and activated the intercom system once again, this time so he could be heard throughout the entire academy.

"All students who are currently violating curfew... Your dorms are locked, and you will be unable to return without reporting to the training grounds. Those that are not present at the training grounds within the next ten minutes will be subject to diciplinary action. The is your first and only warning."

Eliza looked up at the sound of the intercom. She wasn't currently violating curfew... She wiped away at her tears and staggered to her feet. But she wanted to go out. Opening the door of her dorm she looked around the hallway. There were a few hesitant heads peeking out of other doors, those younger then her and less experienced in the ways of the school. They caught sight of her and quickly ducked back inside, slamming their doors shut. Half stunned Eliza staggered down the hall, Lree soaring beside her. "Yes Eliza. Go on, you can do it, go on!" Eliza reached the door at the end of the hall and tried to open it. Locked. She tugged at it several more times before sliding down to kneel in front of it. "Lree..." she murmured "What am I doing?" "Fighting, Eliza. Standing, keeping going." Eliza's hands fell from the handle weakly as Lree lit on her shoulder and started to preen her hair "I don't have a reason to anymore." "Then fight for survival, for life." "But I don't care. I half want them to kill me." Lree looked her in the eyes, her pools of blackness glimmering slightly in the dim light "But if you die, I die. Do it for me?" Eliza reached out shakily to pet Lree. "No... no I won't let them hurt you Lree, you're all I have left." Lree leaned into the touch "Then protect yourself to protect me." Lree streamed back inside Eliza's chest as she pushed herself back to her feet. "Protect myself... okay, I can do that..."

((OOC: I thought there were locked doors at the end of each hallway of dorms.))

Liam (Well, what did you expect? Milk and Cookies?)
 

"Echo! What a surprise to see you." His monotone sarcasm was a clear indication that he trully wasn't even mildly surprised by the fact that she ended up here, or for that matter, that she arived first.

"I'm here to tell you that the Headmaster admires your initiative... even taking to extremes as leaving your dorms after curfew. As a reward, we'll be training your mind and body at the same time! And to help with this endevor, we'll use the stool."

Liam made his way to one side of the training ground, grabbing a stool about three feet high, the seat was marred with spikes and barbed wire. Liam slammed it onto the ground behind Echo. Liam would follow to grab Echo, and forced her into a squating position over the stool. After adjusting her legs to where they were at ninty degress. He then had her hold her arms straight out. "Hold this position Echo..." He then gathered three cups, placing one on each of her wrists and on on the top of her head. "For each cup you break, is an aditional two hours." He then ended by pouring hot water into each cup.

He stood infront of her and folded his arms silently. He checked her postur before speaking to her. "Oh, I'm sure you haven't... you were outside of your dorm after curfew to study? Right? Then you won't mind a pop quiz?" He steps behind Echo and pressed the butt end of his spear to her back to straighten her postur some more. "You find yourself on the battlefeild... You're up against two Breaths... the two of them are on the same side... against you... how do you procede?" He brought his spear away from her back and stepped to her side.

Adia quietly walks out the door and pretends to be sleep walking. 'Maybe this will work...it always worked on mom...' I doubt it Adia...but try anyways 'C'mon have some faith in me Uzraudze....and help me be unnoticed by the cameras....heh...' Yes, yes, I know the drill... 'Thanks.' Adia sleepily continued walking eyes half closed. 'Please work...please work!'
