Stay away.

Lavender isn't exactly your run of the mill girl; despite trying her best, she had always stood out from a young age. Having a mother who was either never around or drunk in a ditch somewhere she started to fend for herself. She’s tough to say the least, but don’t be fooled she’s actually sweet as pie, just a bit icy on the top.

[Seraph watched as the pen floated across the room.] It’s not your fault I suppose. [He said as he rubbed the sore spot on his head.] I was more startled than anything, it’s been a few years since I had a book thrown at me.

I don’t recommend throwing books, books are too precious, try throwing a pencil we have more than enough of those.

[lavender-maddox]

[She laughed and guided some pencils from across the room slowly placing them down in front of him] Better? 

I can imagine you don't often have books thrown at you. I don't mean to it's just heavier objects are harder to guide. I'm Lavender by the way, Lavender Maddox, pathetic excuse for a hypnosis student. 

[parker-fields]

Alchemy purposes. I’m trying to create a new potion. One that will make others have flu-like symptoms, but no actual virus.

[lavender-maddox]

Wow... that makes me afraid to ever take a drink from you... 

[jaxon-orlowe]

Oh, shit only a week? Scared? Why would you be scared? Actually, I was kinda scared too, well more nervous than anything, but I was excited to start something new, yeah? This is my second year here. [Jaxon looked around, surprised that he had been here for a year and still didn’t know where the library was] I think it might be down here [he pointed down to the side doors of the school that led inside towards the cafeteria] 

[lavender-maddox]

[She crinkled up her nose and laughed a little to herself] Scared because I did something stupid and that how I sort of realised I was... gifted. [She followed him amazed that he'd been here so long and didn't know his way around.

[jaxon-orlowe]

[Jax smiles and sipped his tea, getting ready to follow the girl] So, Lavender, how long have you been at Nightshade for? [The air was chilled, Jaxon had to pop his collar over his neck to keep warm, his hand tightly wrapped around the to-go cup.]

[lavender-maddox]

[Turning to look at him] A week or there abouts, so pretty much brand new here, basically was too scared to come. What about you? [Lav asked walking along side him trying to figure out which way to go]

[nathan-alsop]

[Seraph sighed as he propped his feet on the table. He had been people watching and thus far the activity had proved to be rather boring. he had just closed his eyes and gotten comfortable when something slammed into his head. Righting himself and shaking his head, Seraph tried to locate what it was that hit him in the head.] Fuckin’ people who don’t know how to handle their fuckin’ powers. [he mumbled under his breath.]

[Tossing the book back at the girl, he sighed and waved his hand.] Yeah no, you’re fine. Just make sure that I’m not on the receiving end next time.

[lavender-maddox]

[She watched the boy looking angered and offered a smile, catching the book and tucking it in her satchel. Taking a pen from across the class and gesturing for it to come towards her. It floated softly and she caught it, sat down and started to write in a journal] Sort of new to all of this I guess. I'm so sorry.

[parker-fields]

[Clause shrugged her off, not saying thank you or even smiling for that matter.]

[He clipped each vine wrapped around both of their feet, and when he was free, he offered to steady the girl as she kicked off the remaining vines on herself.] There. Now I have my vines, and you have your balance.

[lavender-maddox]

[She laughed at him shrugging it off and rolled her eyes smiling softly] Why are you clipping vines anyway?

[parker-fields]

[Clause smirked a little ask the other almost fell. He Looked down at his leg and wiggled his foot a bit.] See if you can reach my clippers over there in that bag.

[Clause nodded his head over towards his scattered belongings.]

[lavender-maddox]

[Stretching over towards his bag grabbing hold of the strap and wobbling a little regaining her balance and pulling the bag toward her. Getting clippers from inside she tossed them to him not knowing what to do with them]

You're welcome [She retorted sarcastically at him smirking at her near fall]

[parker-fields]

Tauten Vines, they… Well they tighten around prey. Which in this case, is us.

[Clause wiggles around more.] I wanted some to experiment on.

[lavender-maddox]

How do you get them to not tighten around you cause - [Lavender wriggled and pulled at her leg loosing her balance and quickly trying to regain it] Shit!

[jaxon-orlowe]

[Jax took the book from the girl, looking it over, it wasn’t a large book, he figured he could read it fairly quickly. He smiled at her] Thanks, I’ll get it back to you soon. Yah know, I have nothing to do, bored as hell. Do you wanna just skip down to the library now? I mean, I don’t know where it is, but we could go looking for it?

[lavender-maddox]

[Lav smiled and looked up at him nodding] That sounds like a pretty fun adventure if you ask me [her tone with an aire of sarcasm, jumping up and looking at him] I think it's this way. 

[parker-fields]

[Clause puts his hands out.] NO STOP! [He watches the vines twist around the other.]

That’s not going to help! [Clause reaches his hands out to help the other.]

[lavender-maddox]

[The vines wrapping around her legs she panics and tries to wriggle her way out] What in the hell are these things?

[parker-fields]

[Clause struggles in  brush of the various plants on the edges of the forbidden woods. His foot had been tangled in the vines, the more he struggled the tighter the hold had gotten.]

Mother… Ugh! Fucking! [Clause begins stomping the vines with his free foot.] TAUTEN VINES! [The vines snaked around his other food and he fell face first on the ground, his satchel and all its contents flying everywhere.] AGH!

[lavender-maddox]

[Hearing a scream as she made her way out of the forest Lavender turned running toward the sound. Seeing a boy tangled in tauten vines she panics and stamps on the vines frantically] Holy crap! 

[jaxon-orlowe]

We have a library here, yeah? You could find a new book there? Yeah, I haven’t read anything in a while, maybe I could borrow it when your done?[he smiled] Thanks [he sat down beside the girl, eyeing the book] So, like, what happens in it, oddly enough I don’t know what it’s about.

[lavender-maddox]

I might just have to go check that out then. I could do with some new material. [She closed the book and handed it over to him] You can take it now I'm practically finished anyway. It's sort of long winded, mostly about a lawyer and his family. 

[lavender-maddox]

[Focusing deeply she gazed at the book infront of her and with a flick of her wrist it flew across the room hitting a student in the head] I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that! [lavender said offering an uncomfortable but slightly genuine laugh]

[jaxon-orlowe]

So it’s good, then? I’ve never read it. [he sipped his tea and adjusted his coat] My mom got it for me, actually, but I never got around to reading it… Mind if I sit, or am I like, interrupting? [he pursed his lips and scratched his head. Jax didn’t want to want to bother the girl, but he was feeling bored and was hoping for some company]

[lavender-maddox]

It's pretty good, I tend to read it when I've run out of new stuff. You should try and get through it when you have the time [Lavender smiled and budged over a little making room for him to sit down] Go ahead.

[jaxon-orlowe]

[He gave a thumbs up to the girl and smiled] Yes, ma’m. Jaxon, I think we have a class together, yeah? [he looked down] Whatcha reading?

[lavender-maddox]

[She turned the book over and showed him the cover reading "To kill a mocking bird"] I like to re-read it every now and again.

[jaxon-orlowe]

[Jax had just gotten back from the teashop, he has his to-go cup in his hand, he sipped as he walked, not sure where he was going, just wandering around. He could feel one of his headaches coming along, he tried to ignore it. That’s when he noticed a girl, whom he recognized say hello to him]

Hello. [he smiled and gave a quick wave as stopped in front of her] Er,… Lavender… Am I right?

[lavender-maddox]

[Lavender nodded and smiled] That's me, and you're... Jaxon? [She asked hoping that she wasn't just making up a name for the boy]

[lavender-maddox]

[Lavender rested herself on a bench outside, the weather was reasonable and she had nothing better to do. Taking out a book she began to read, crossing her legs on the bench seat]

[From across the way she saw a familiar face, someone who was in her class. Smiling and looking over at them politely] "Hi"
