" I know what you mean" She whispered looking around. Too her it was more than just wrong it was scary. She never thought see actually see them fully, she wondered if Yuuko ever felt scared seeing them like this. She was glad that he wanted to leave though. She followed after him, barely looking at Seth. She didn't want to have to deal with anyone right now.
Seth just blinked in confusion, " Everyone is so odd here" He mumbled after walking into the room, after they two of them left. He smiled seeing Yuuko sleeping on the bed. Laying there safe and not stolen away by someone else. |
Closing the door behind them, Scott gestured for Amber to sit on the bed or something. His room was impeccably neat; everything was exactly in it's place and nothing dared cross that line for long. He took the other seat, an older style computer chair. "So... Do you want to tell me what that was all about?" he asked once they had settled in. "If it hadn't been for Yuuko, you could have died." Concern lined his expression, barely masking the anger he felt towards anyone who could have done such a thing.

[[Sorry got busy with the holiday and school.]]
Amber felt out of place standing in Scott's room. She glanced around barely, she didn't pay much attention to his room. Since she was still freaked out. She walked over and sat on the bed. She started down at her feet and the carpet. She shuddered again when he mentioned that she would have been dead, if not for Yuuko. She placed her hands on her legs and clutched at her jeans slightly, near the knees. " I....I know Scott...I know" She whispered softly. She felt like crying, she took a deep breath before speaking again. " I don't know what really happen. I had heard something eariler and I got a little freaked and went outside to just calm down and relax. Then I heard something again, just before the roots sprung out and...." She said, her voice getting shaky. |
Scott watched with patience as Amber fidgeted around, obviously still upset over what had happened, which was entirely understandable. His posture radiated compassion and concern, but there was also a hint of rage as Amber spoke. Why would anyone do such a thing? First Yuuko and now Amber! Would those monsters stop at nothing? Placing a hand on hers, Scott said, "Don't worry about it. That's all I need to know. From now on, if you here the voice, come find me, Yuuko, the Professor, even Seth. Just find someone who will be able to help you if something like that happens again."
|
Amber glanced up at him, when he layed his hand on hers. She felt a little bit relaxed, she nodded softly. "Alright, if it happens again. I'll let someone know" She said softly. Still she was glad he didn't demand to know what the voice had said. She didn't think she could tell him the voice wanted her to stay away from him. She was called the voice wasn't screaming at her now for being near him and in his room.
|
"Okay," Scott said, sighing as his body loosened. "Why don't we go get something to eat? It's way past time for lunch." Truthfully, he was starving. Searching for someone could do that to a guy. But he was also trying to make Amber feel more at ease, and figured that food could at least help him out in that matter. "Heck, we could get something for Yuuko and Seth too."
|
Amber nodded," Alright, food sounds fine." She said. She took a deep breath before letting it out. " Yes, let's go get them something to eat" She said with a slight smile. She would just have to figure out who the person was behind the voice. She wanted to be closer with Scott,whether it was as a friend or something more, but someone, most likely female didn't like that.
Jean had decided to go see Scott and she brought some food to him. She knew he'd be hungry. She stood at the door holding a plate, and knocked on the door. |
"Okay, what would you like to eat?" he asked, standing before crossing his room to the door. He smiled at the thought of her feeling better, happy to be of any help at all. Opening the door though, he jumped in surprise at seeing Jean, his eyes picking out the food quickly. His favorite, but she never cooked for him. Shrugging uncomfortably, he said, "Thanks, Jean," trailing off awkwardly.
|
" I." She had started to stay, before she stopped talking. She looked up and noticed Jean at the door. Seemed she had taken care of food for Scott. She figured maybe she should go and let them have time together.
Jean blinked, smile slightly fading as she noticed Amber siting on Scott's bed. " Oh your busy. I just figured you might be hungry after a busy day. " She told him. She really wasn't pleased to see Amber there. It was like she wanted the girl to go away. Her head ached for a moment, but she didn't let them see that. Suddenly out of nowhere a picnic table crashed through Scott's window. Amber was trying to figure out how she was going to get out of the room, since they were both at the door. When a table crashed through his window, she screamed. ' I thought I told you to stay away' screamed the voice. She felt the urge to curl up and wrap her arms around her, she just wanted to cry. |
"Oh, well, thanks," Scott responded, taking the plate before the picnic table crashed through the wall. Jumping out of his skin, he turned on Jean. "What the hell?" Relieved that it hadn't hurt anyone, he left the room, slamming the door behind him. "You should really see the Professor. No one else here but him and you have the power to do something like that. If you're losing control or something, he needs to know." Waiting for a response, he had to force himself to stay put, not wanting to wait to make sure Amber was okay.
|
Jean blinked in surprised, she didn't pull the table at all. At least she swore that she hadn't. Scott accusing her just made something in her angry. Why did he always seemed to care about Amber and seem to have forgotten about her. It wasn't fair Scott, was suppose to be hers. Her eyes narrowed at Scott," It's very rude of you to suggest that was me Scott. You have no idea who it would have been and you know Seth and a few others could do that. It's not just physics powers that can move things and you know that." Jean said. She was pissed, Amber was taking Scott away from her, and she had turned Scott against her.
Amber was freaked out, and had gone pale again. ' You wench, I will make you regret this. Scott is mind, and you've turned him against me. I've warned you and since you've refused to listen. I will make you pay.' The voice screamed. Something else crashed into the picnic table. It looked like a pot. Amber stepped back to the corner of Scott's room. She slid to the floor and pulled her knees to her chest. |
"Whatever! Look, all I'm saying is that you've been acting rather funny lately, so I think you should go relax or something," he said, turning back inside to make sure Amber was okay. The addition of the post was surprising, but worse was Amber curled up in the corner, her eyes wide as dinner plates. Something passed through the air then, sending a shiver up his spine as he spotted distortions in the air. Then seemed aimed directly at Jean, passing into her and out the other side before turning and doing the same thing again. Speechless, all Scott could do was stare as he made his way backwards, suddenly remembering Amber and helping her to her feet. "You okay?"
|
Jean glared at him. She was pissed she glared for a bit longer and after the air pass through her she stormed off. Oh he would regret this, and little Amber wouldn't be around much longer. She stormed off to parts unknown. Something seemed to have taken over her mind, made her darker. Gave her an evil looking aura.
Amber shook her head, and pushed Scott away softly. " No stay away, the voice doesn't want me near you" She cried out. She sounded hysterical, and frighten. She was close to have a major freak out. When those happened the resulted in her powers going haywire. How she had manged this long was surprising considering how volatile her powers could be. |
"You meant that same thing from before? Come on, we need to see the Professor," he said, gently grabbing her wrist and helping her to her feet before letting go to get the door. "Maybe you could hire Yuuko as your personal body guard. She's certainly scary enough once you know about her powers." He chuckled as he spoke, waiting for her to come with him. The Professor would be able to stop it, that much was certain. Those things still freaked him out, but they seemed to be protecting he and Amber as he waited.
|
She nodded, she didn't get why he wasn't listening. If she just stayed away from him, she'd be safe. She didn't want to stay away, but she was terrified now. She wanted to run or something. She followed after him blankly, she didn't know what to do. She stared at the floor as they sat outside the Professor's office. She wasn't even responding to Scott right now. She didn't really feel like talking. Crying, and fleeing yes, talking not so much.
|
Knocking on the Professor's door upon arriving, Scott opened it at the Professor's admittance, pulling a reluctant Amber with him. "Professor, Amber's been attacked twice today, and she says she keeps hearing a voice. Would you mind seeing what's going on?" he asked, hands spread out in a pleading gesture. Xavier looked to Amber for approval, his face compassionate and kindly as always.
((If you want to control how Xavier goes through Amber's mind or whatever, feel free. I don't want to mess with your charrie too much. :sweat:)) |
Amber let him pull her inside. She really didn't want to have to deal with this. She nodded though, Scott wasn't going to let it go. She just sat there as the Professor went through her mind. She shuddered slightly, as she felt like she was reliving the moments. The Professor dived deeper trying to get some insight into who was attacking Amber. As he got deeper he encounter some type of fire like force. ' Stay our of this old man' The voice yelled with a blast of power so strong it sent him flying from her mind. The fire seemed to be in a shape of a phoenix. Amber clutched at her head," Ow" she said.
|
Watching intently, Scott was shocked when the Professor suddenly staggered back in his wheelchair, putting a hand to his head. "Well, I'm afraid that it is Jean," he said, rolling away. "The Phoenix is being corrupted by her desires again. There is a link there, and that could be disastrous. Scott, would you go get Yuuko for me?"
Scott nodded, running out of the room. A few moments later, he came back in leading a groggy Yuuko. It seemed as if she couldn't even stand up straight from the way she wobbled. "Professor, may I?" she asked, pointing to a plant on the window sill. Xavier nodded, turning to look back at Amber as they watched what the young girl was doing. She took a deep breath before her hand darted out, clenching the plant strongly. Then the plant began withering before their eyes, while Yuuko seemed to wake up more and more. Once the plant was dead, Yuuko walked back over, seeming more alert than she had all day. Scott watched on intently as Xavier put his hands back to Amber's head, materializing a thick cable that led in Jean's general direction. It seemed to quiver with anticipation as Yuuko's shimmered brightly, casting it's deathly green glow over everything. And then she swung the knife down, splitting the cable, which fell the the ground before dissipating. Immediately, although neither Scott nor Yuuko could see, Xavier threw up barriers around Amber's mind that would incapacitate Jean if the Phoenix tried anything again. "That should slow down the attacks at the least. How are you feeling, Amber?" |
Amber was surprised, and what was this about a Phoenix. She was clueless, but completely terrified. Jean wasn't a force you just messed with. She watched as Scott ran out the room. She was terrified, and hadn't want him to leave. She clutched at the arms of the chair. She blinked, wondering what exactly Yuuko would be able to do. She stared at the dead plant, she paled again. Death seemed to be a really big theme today. She sat there scared and clutching at the chair as the two of them worked.
Her head ached for a moment, as the link was broken. She blinked, she didn't feel a threat in the nearby area and her mind didn't feel like there was someone else there. Yet she was still scared and just wanted to cry. It didn't help that it was all she could do to hold her elements at bay. " Scared..terrified, and close to loosing it" She mumbled softly, shaking slightly. Jean stood on the lawn, very angry. It seemed more than she was was going to interfere. She would need to regroup, she glared at the school. Her eyes were a bright red, she'd make the pay. She walked away from the mansion, and nearby trees caught on fire, as she left. She knew would be back and make Amber, Scott and anyone else who stood in her way pay. |
Noticing Amber stare at Yuuko's amazing plant skills, Scott shrugged. He didn't have a clue either, though the death of the plant seemed to revitalize Yuuko by a great deal. "Thank you, Professor, Yuuko," Scott said, putting an arm on Amber's shoulder. Yuuko had climbed onto the window sill, having thrown the plant away. The knife was gone now, but the stone still dangled from her wrist, shining brightly. Patiently, Scott waited for Amber to recuperate, understanding that Yuuko's displays of power could be quite frightening.
Noticing their confusion, Yuuko spoke up, feeling that it was better for them to understand than be afraid. "I absorbed the plant's soul to get energy. I hate doing it, but I wouldn't have been able to help without it," she explained, kicking her dangling legs rhythmically. "Jean must be really mad. There are like twenty trees outside dying right now. The feeling of their souls departing is... odd. Usually they don't resist so strongly." The Professor hmmed for a moment before shaking his head, watching Amber for any adverse reactions. |
Amber glanced at Scott, resisting the urge to sob and cry into his chest. She looked back at Yuuko. " I know, sort of. It's just there been so much death today, and having nearly passed on my self. It's all just a lot to take it." She told her. " Really? Why is she doing this. I don't understand, why does she want me to stay away from him, why is she trying to kil-"She asked, she sobbed as she asked more questions.
|
"I don't know," Scott responded, hugging Amber as Yuuko slipped from the room. "She's never done anything like this before. But the part about me and you doesn't make any sense either; she has a boyfriend. Why would she care?" Shaking his head, he rubbed Amber's back from the hug, rocking slightly to try and comfort her better.
"Welp, I'll be going then," Yuuko said, heading towards the door. "If there's one thing I can't do is get rid of death. It's a part of who I am." She felt sad for Amber certainly, but she wasn't going to stick around and intrude on their mushy moment. Not to mention that her very presence screamed death. Sighing, she slinked into the kitchen, digging around for a snack. |
Amber looked up at him. He was right it didn't make any sense. Her and Scott weren't evening dating. There was no reason for her to be like this. " I dunno, your right she does have a boyfriend, plus were only friends. You even told her that when she asked you" Amber said. She looked too Yuuko, it wasn't that the girl scared her, it was just watching things die and the ghosts were scaring her. She'd have to make sure they girl knew that. She also felt much safer as Scott hugged her.
Seth was bored, Scott had come and grabbed Yuuko and without another word had run off. He wondered what the heck was going on. He was sure it had something to do with Amber. Anyone with eyes could see how smitten the two were becoming for each other. He glanced out the window watching students put of the trees on fire. He blinked confused, did Amber's fire go crazy. He walked into the kitchen and spotted Yuuko. He smiled," Hey" |
Feeling Amber relax a bit against his body, Scott loosened his grip, aware that he might be squeezing a bit too hard. He was glad to be of assistance though, so he continued holding her until she was completely calm. Then he stood, making to take her hand. "Why don't we get some food now?" he asked, twitching his head towards the kitchen.
Having pulled out the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, Yuuko was busy getting a sandwich, humming to herself, when Seth spooked her, causing her to jump out of her skin and sent the knife flying. Frowning, she hopped down off of the little footstool she had been standing on to get the knife. "Hey!" she chirped, cheery as always. "How's it going?" |
Amber nodded," Alright food sounds like a good idea" She whispered softly. She smiled slightly as he took her head and waited for him to lead her to the kitchen. There was just something so calming about being near Scott. She really wondered what it was.
Seth blinked, he hadn't thought he had startled her. He move his head to the side dodging the knife. " Oh sorry, didn't mean to startle you" He said. He then smiled," It's going good. For you? How you doing, everything okay?" He asked. |
