"I'm sorry," Ayame said, tears welling in her eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She kept repeating, the tears starting to flow. "It's alright,"Someone next to her said. It wasn't Izzac or Thomas. Her father stood there, placing a hand on the top of her head. She looked up at him. "Hi," He said, "I was going to ask how you were feeling, but...well, I think I've got my answer." ((OOC:No he's not a ninja, he just entered while she was crying, so she didn't notice))

"No. It's not okay. None of this should have happened...nobody deserves to go through all of that...." Thomas replied, glancing at the floor. "But," he added, "what about your parents?" He asked Izzac. "Did the...creatures threaten them, too?"

*Wiping the tears fomr his eyes*
Izzac: No... my parents knew nothing of what was going on... all for the better... or they would have seen me as a monster too... just like those officers who saw me with... Angila in my arms on the roof...

Thomas kept avoiding looking in Izzac's direction, while he replied: "Well, if it's been in your family before, wouldn't they know something about it? Maybe help you deal with it in some way?" He asked.

Izzac: No... My great great grandfather Jackie Esticado was from my moms side of the family, and for three generatoins, there was never a son... So nobody knows about it... except for me...

"....so the cops found you with Angila? I'm guessing they thought YOU had done it." Thomas replied, becoming angry at the ignorance of some people (such as the authorities in question)...though he was giving the impression that he didn't think of Izzac much better, or that's how it looked, as he still wouldn't make eye-contact.

Izzac: yeah... they were going to blame me for this... I... I couldn't take that... I put her down gently on the ground, and then with the a flick of one of the darkness' tenticals, I disarmed them...
I backed up to the edge of the roof, and saw a news helicopter just fly below me...

"I can only guess that you jumped at this point...." Thomas said, solemnly

Izzac: Yeah... and to make sure I was dead... I aimed for the helicopters blades... I covered my eyes and thought of Angila... it was the longest three seconds of my life...
And when I hit them...
*He looked down*
Izzac: I woke up in the subway. The darkness told me that I would never die... they told me I was above it... they told me I was free... they told me that she had to die so I could be... then why did I feel so trapped...

Thomas looked at Izzac.
Thomas' eyes filled with tears, but he looked straight at Izzac. Then he turned pale and speechless.
"I....I'm sorry....you know your powers by now....but I don't. I thought I was normal....but now I SEE things....but not the same things with you. I can't see parts of your past, like with all the others. I just feel part of the pain. And even a fraction of that pain is too much for a normal person to have to bear."
Then he looked back down.

"That's terrible," Ayame mumbled. Champ nodded solemnly. "Izzac," He said,"I'm sorry for everything you've lost, no one should have to suffer like that." He frowned. "I promise you that as long as you're here we'll never let anything like that happen again," He said. He turned to his daughter. "Ayame, we need to get your dorm set up," He said, "Would you mind?" "Oh," Ayame said, surprised, "Sure, no problem..."

((DOUBLE POST)) Ayame followed her father to the hall, a few bags with her belongings were there. She picked up a few, and started to follow Champ. "Ayame,"He said after they'd been walking for a while, "I just wanted to let you know, I'm proud of you." Ayame looked up at him, surprised. "Dad..."She started. "You're so strong," He said, "And so noble, you're truly becoming a beautiful person." She blushed. "Thanks," She said. He smiled, stopping at the door to Ayame's dorm. "This is it,"He said, "You're new home." He dropped the bags he'd been carrying, starting to leave. As he walked past Ayame he paused, turning one last time. "Don't let people judge you based on my reputation," He said, "Make them remember you for who you are." He left, and she stood still before grinning, her heart flooding with confidence. She'd follow that advice. She wouldn't live in her father's shadow for long. She opened the door, and it seemed to her as if she was opening the way to a new future of her own design. *** It was late. Ayame was awake, flipping channels on the TV in her room, an energy resting in her hands. She couldn't sleep, even before the caffeine boost. She had too many thoughts floating through her mind to be able to rest easily. Outside a car door slammed. She turned, looking to the street. A sleek black car had stopped outside the academy. Johnny Bravo stepped out of it, two dark figures following him up the path to the school. Ayame watched them intently, the dark obscuring their figures. She wondered who they were...she would come to know them soon. *END EPISODE 1* ((OOC:W00t!!! Good job everybody, episode 2 is on the way!))

*The hours passed by and eveybody was cleared out of the infirmery*
*Everyone, except for Izzac*
*The day was long, and it was already ending*
*The rest of the students and staff all had a room to themselves, or at least a fraction of a room with another*
*The lights remained on*
*Izzac staired at them*
*A tear rolled down his cheek*
the darkness: aww... remembering something you lost...
Izzac: Go away...
the darkness: it was needed... she was restricting you...
Izzac: No, she wasn't... she wasn't part of any of this... she didn't need to die...
the darkness: you cared too much for her...
*Izzac, while laying on the bed, turned to the left side, and looked at the shadows under all the beds*
the darkness: you're thinking about it, aren't you... the power you have... what you can do with it... how you could use it...
Izzac: How I can get rid of it...
the darkness: don't say that, izzac. you know that's a lie...
*Izzac turned back to face the high ceiling*
Izzac: I wish you wouldn't have kept me alive...
the darkness: you're needed, izzac. you are our key... we are your power, your blessing... your burden...
