It's the second year since Alice Black and Kanni Merrane had came to Clarissa Institute to learn how to train their abnormal powers. The two, along with Kaleb and Premidas, had overcome the rebirth of Remus and the return of Alice's godfather Gabriel. Perhaps they will over come everything this year with difficult or not...

Most of it was being dimissed easily by Kaleb and Premidas who continued to eat. Alice kept throwing Kanni curious looks about the two. It wasn't normal for someone to crash down like that, especially for Premidas. The shape-shifter couldn't eat anything now that she was thinking so hard on this. There was something wrong already, right on the first day they came back. Students didn't seem to notice except for Issac whose eyes kept fleeting over to their table from next to Brad. They would be planning some way to get Alice back now for their little scuffle. During the entire lunch Alice couldn't eat and listen to their conversation, her eyes wandering through the crowd. There was still something she hadn't told them yet that Gabriel had been debating over with her; He wanted her exchange over to another school to forget last year. Gabriel didn't want Alice to remember anything from last year and this might be her final week if Alice couldn't compromise with her godfather.
"Alice?" Kaleb's voice drew her attention back into the real world, raising her head up to level with Kaleb's who had been handing Kanni a drink. The shape-shifter lightly smiled and leaned back, drawing another seat up to rest her feet on, trying to pretend everything was alright. Kaleb didn't looked too convinced, his eyes fleeting over to Issac's table, watching him and whispering, "What the hell does this kid want already?"
"He's been watching us for some time now too," said Kanni, tousling with a strand of her purple-lilac hair before finishing off her lunch. "Been talking or whispering to Brad too...Probaly looking for revenge on Alice."
"Haha," sneered Alice sarcasticly, crossing her arms across her chest. "He deserved it all flat out too if you want my honest opinon on this all. The smart ass thinks he can get away with anything, thinking that I wanted to kill everyone with Remus. Thinking that I was going to kill-"
Her jaw seemed to keep shut then, remembering the painful subject, then shooting up from her seat and storming out of the food court. There came another touchy subject with Gabriel wanting to exchange her to another school, but it'll be something that Alice alone would tell. To come back was even a bad idea for her in the first place. To even be alive wasn't supposed to happen. Alice was supposed to be dead! The shape-shifter had brushed it all aside, turning into the corridor where she could remember falling out of the window to prevent Lori from finding what she wanted. The scars from it had never healed yet, emotionally and physically. All Alice could think about was how Kaleb would be thinking of her when she finally told them everything that had happened over the summer during the traveling. Most of it was even kept secert to Gabriel until he found out on his own one night when a fired had started in their own house.
"Alice! Jesus, must you run off like that?" It was Kaleb, walking down the hall with a slight frown and steely eyes. "What the hell makes you think that we don't want to know about whatever happened during the summer anyway? Nightmares perhaps?"
"Very funny Mr. Agretto, very funny but no one is laughing," retorted Alice. "And for your information nothing is wrong with me! I just had a stomach ache, that's all!"
"For someone who sneaks out so much you're a pretty bad liar," he said, leaning against the wall and watched Alice, "And what makes you think you've gone through worse? Kanni was housing Remus, Premidas and I were just there watching it all from a point that was unexplained to us at the time."
"I had dreams and visions about it Kaleb! And they weren't just normal ones!" yelled Alice, her face constricted in confusion and pain. "He would always be standing over me, waiting for me to wake up but I never could. I still felt him in my head, building up the same energy that he wanted last year. I...I-I also have another..." Alice raised her hand at the paintings and all of them had fallen off of the walls with shrieks as the glass windows bursted. "...power. It only happens when I'm angry or thinking about Remus. It's why Gabriel was going to send me to another school to forget all of this. B-but I couldn't leave you all..."
For several minutes Kaleb looked horrified, staring down at the ground. He couldn't add anything to this, seeing how Alice wasn't even supposed to be here. Finally, he dared to ask, "That doesn't give me the answer I wanted. Why aren't you talking to Kanni or I? Does last year not mean anything to you? We all went through it Alice! Not just you!"
"What makes you think I don't know that!?" demanded Alice, feeling her temper rise steeply with Kaleb. "I was the one who would've been killing all of those people! I would've been hated and I was hated! People only look at me and call me Verae, or think I'm going to kill them!"
"That's not what we think because we know the truth Alice! We knew about Gabriel, about Remus, about everything before anyone else!" There was a moment of silence after Kaleb who had been watching Alice slide down to her knees against the wall, yelling, "If you think I don't know that then leave! It's not last year, I'm worried about this year! I can't handle another possession, I just can't so don't you understand!? It's not easy being a Verae and worrying about any intruders of your mind! You need to be on constant alert!"
"And constantly ignore that your friends are here to talk to you?" asked Kaleb, looking hurt but was ignored by Alice. "Gabriel can exchange you, I don't care but it's your call Alice. Not his, not mine, nor Kanni's but it's your call."
"I can't! I honestly can't understand why you don't listen to me! This whole entire school is in danger every minute that I'm here!" the shape-shifter had been twirling a strand of hair around her finger, thinking more delicatly, "And I can't kill any of you..."
"That's what all of this has been about?" The answer Kaleb recieved was a tearful nod from Alice who remained where she was. This year wouldn't be much different, but all she could do was hope that the precautions Clarissa had took were strick enough to prevent an intruder from coming in with the intent to kill or hurt. And maybe Alice's power wouldn't collide with herself once more, hopefully not this year.
Kaleb had been standing there watching the windows rebuild themselves and the paintings hover to their normal placing with a wave of Alice's hand. The power would destroy or heal, something that he was frightened of himself. To have two powers wasn't something to cheer about for it was serious. If anyone's power collided with another it meant serious chaos. Or perhaps this was normal for the maturarty of a Verae to have two powers. To prepare themselves for another possession maybe, or to give the next possessor more power when in control. For anyone's point of view it was either frightening or disgusting. He could then finally talk, "Last year is something else but this year has nothing to do with it......"
"Easy for you to say seeing how you're no Verae. I've always hated myself, how I am and everything about my powers..." whispered Alice to him. "People of my family haven't even sent cards for my birthday, more like hate letters last year and I haven't seen any of them since last year."
There was nothing more for Alice to say, leaning against the wall and watching the students through the fixing windows. Kaleb had then walked over to her, embracing the girl. It would be hard this year, maybe too hard for anyone to get through.
