John Wagstaff's upbringing was unusual. He couldn't tell you how he was born, or even his official birthday, only the one that he was assigned. From his parent's telling and official records, John was found as a baby in the remains of a burnt up building, It appeared that he was placed in some fireproof cocoon of some kind, but no bodies of any person were found, no one to claim ownership over him within the six months afterwards. During those six months, this seven month old child would be in the hands and guardianship of Patricia and Matthew Wagstaff. They were accountants for a multi-billon dollar consulting firm, but the lowest of the totem pole employees. They intended to keep it that way, they didn't want to make waves, just make a paycheck and come home. After six months of no parent coming forward, John, who was previously known as John Smith until this event, was adopted by the Wagstaff's and moved into their home permanently. 18 years had passed from that time, and John has lived the most average life. A running back on the high school football team, he would find his way to several college offers just on his own unique skills and ability, some would call him a demon out on the field, but unfortunately, due to his size, being only 5'11" and 150 pounds, he was unable to compete for a full ride, only offers of a walk on role, nothing paid for until he could prove his worth on the field. He was damned and determined to do that, but his parents had other options for him, offering him all the money he needed to go anywhere he wanted as long as he wouldn't play football anymore and look for a 'real job.;

John and his parents would buttheads over this topic his entire senior year of high school, until graduation day. It started out normal enough, the way that the school year had fell graduation happened to land on his birthday this year, well, at least the birthday he was given from the reports. August 8th, 2002. He smiled as the sun hit his eyes and he stood up from the bed, he would go through his routine, talking to his parents at the coffee table, them excited to see him the graduation line up, but he was ready to spin the day with his buddies doing senior pranks on senior skip day. He would eat a breakfast and start out the door, "Be careful, dear," his mom would warn, "You are an adult now..." She smiled and kissed him on the cheek with a hug before they exchanged love you's and he was out the door. It wasn't long until his red Subaru pulled into the parking lot of the Miles Gorge Park in the opposite side of town. He and his buddies would be meeting there, but it looked like he was the first one to arrive. He was sitting in the car, but something felt off. The vibe was not correct here... He would look up from his seat and see a figure in the woods, something that be pointing in his direction, but would dart off. He shouldn't have done it, but he would step out of his car and look towards the woods, but couldn't make out anything. He is not sure what paralleled him to do it, but he would begin walking towards the wood, something that he should have never done.

A loud grunt could be heard a male laying on his back in the middle of a large training room, a loud bell resounded the bright lights flicking on before the sound of a radio crackled before a voice come through. " Your killing it Victoria! " A females voice rang through the male on the floor vanished then, deep black smoke pooling up with it,the other bodies around on the floor did the same then, she twisted the blades in her hands popping them back into her leg holders her breath a light pant before she picked up her bow from the floor . " I always do Georgie..." she called through the room a soft chuckle could be heard before the doors unlocked and she walked out her boots clicking as she walked, a young woman came running out then shrieking and clapping her hands. " That was your best yet Victoria! I can't believe how many you managed.." Victoria grinned then pushing a stray piece of hair from her face. " I was pretty proud of that..." She peeked up seeing a man coming out now chewing gum his arms folded across his chest. " Well if it isn't miss little show of..." Victoria rolled her eyes then shaking her head. " Oh here we go...you just c..." An alarm rang out red lights flashing through the institute " Shit..." Victoria groaned suddenly people were running out of the training facility and through the double doors . " Where is it Fin! " Victoria called out, watching the holograph appear above a monitor gazing at it her brows furrowing together. " Furrow Dean Park...what the hell are they doing their?!..." she called. She heard the sound of the double doors opening heading out that way joined by two others kitted up, a man in the front driving rune like tatoos all down his arms. " Let's go Now!" He called they jumped into the vehicle the doors opening before the car rushed out and headed down the road at a speed. " Whats the estimate time for arrival?.." Victoria called, he gazed down at the time for a moment. " Five minutes..." " Make it quicker then

He had no idea what compelled him to keep chasing after this shadow figure, but he must have chased this thing for twenty before he looked around him and all he could see was trees. Nothing but trees, foliage, and nothingness. "Fuck," he would reach down for this phone, but as he would pull it out of his pocket, he couldn't use it. The screen dark and lifeless, he knew he charged the battery at home and hell, it had been on charge in the car, "What the fuck is going on?" Before he knew it, he was looking down at the ground as something had came up and pushed him in the back, "What..." Before the next word, he felt a kick in the gut, leaving his breathless as he looked up at the source of his pain... A group of men and women, all looked fairly older than him, but they crowd around him, taking turns kicking, punching, and laughing at him. "This is the great hunter?"

It took no time at all for the vehicle to arrive at the park seeing the array of trees Victoria groaned. " I dont understand why they've come here?.." A male at the front jumped out quickly sporting a large shot gun of things In his hand.." No idea but were going to find out..." all of them had black armor of sorts on, with slight face coverings. Victoria climbed out the car making sure all her weapons were ready, she paused a moment her eyes turning white as the weapons she had started to glow around her, her fingers went to her arm and dragged along it small black markings appeared against her arm. " There south a few minutes from here..." she called before everyone head of she was running along side with the others before her brows furrowed together. " Theirs a hunter with them, a new hunter by the feel of it..." she called to the others with her. Ethan the male who was driving growled. " Now I'm even more upset..." they made the small group peering out to watch the group attacking the male on the floor, Victoria's eyes narrowing to see it before she saw one of them pull a glowing knife out, she reached behind her grabbing her bow and arrows and wasted no time in firing it out it shot through the air so quickly a whizz could be heard before the arrow connecting to his wrist and pushed it into a tree trunk holding it there, the being screamed then, the sound like nothing ever heard before it was so high pitched it could hurt your eyes. The other group members hissed to see them their before suddenly a fight started the group coming together the clashing of weapons could be heard and the screams before one by one the team managed to bring them down, each body that dropped black whiff of smoke seemed to go with them before eventually they were all dead....their bodies their before even they vanished. Victoria stepped forward to the male against the floor, her eyes the only thing shown from the cloth she had against her face where was his weapons? Armor? Why

was he not protected. " Ehat division you with kid?...you alright? Not to hurt?.." she asked inspecting his frame for any wounds he might have.

John would lay on the ground, almost screaming in pain at this point as foot and fist continued to connect with several parts of his body, the group continuing to laugh and joke that they couldn't believe he was the son of the Brightwood family, he was so weak. He would try to make it to his feet, but he could feel his ribs either broken or severely damaged in some way. "What... why...?" is the only words that he can say as they continue to kick him around. Finally, one of the older beings, a grey haired man looks down at him and pulls some kind of... sword... from his side, "Enough, let's end this before they..." As the sword would come to his chest, he would hear a group of others possibly charging in and before he knew it, the blurred vision of several other people joined in and begin to fight the other group. The blurred vision of a girl standing over him, asking if he was hurt and what division he was from... "Division...? What...?" It was the last thing that he would remember before passing out...

Victoria peered down at the young lad on the floor her eyes washing over him to see that he did appear to have some wounds on his body hearing his confusion she went to say something else before he passed out, she sighed deeply wrapping her arms around her waist. " Great...just what I needed....Joel! I need your help.. " Joel was taking some samples from the black dust that had been left behind on the bodies before.he made his way over to where Victoria was peering down to the lad he grinned looking towards Victoria. " What you don't this time?.." she huffed then shaking her head. " I've done nothing for a change he just....well passed out..." she said pulling the fabric down from her mouth Joel peered down to him before sighing. " Alright let's get him back, we can sort out where he needs to go when he's better..." he said. ------- A few hours later John would find himself in a clinically white room with machines around him, a few drips in his arm but otherwise he would feel alot better then he did before the wounds he had was all but healed. Victoria sat in a chair tipping it backwards and forwards eating some grapes gazing at the boy in the bed. " I thought you said he was going to wake up?..." she asked speaking to a doctor of sorts at the end of the bed, he peered towards her smirking. : He will shortly his body just to recover..." he said popping the clipboard down before heading out, Victoria frowned peeking over to him before she picked a grape of and tossed it at him watching it rebound of his forehead. " Hey! Wake up.! " she called before she tossed another grape at him @Jake

During his time being unconscious, he would have several, what he would refer to as dreams, two people protecting a baby, them calling the baby a choose one, a natural hunter, but he couldn't focus on anything. These thumps in his mind would continue to interfere with any thought or motion that these dreams were having, until he finally felt himself come to, and almost violently too. He shot up from his sleeping position, "What the fuck!?" Screaming out, he would begin to look around him, an all white room, a... hospital... What the hell was going on...? That face, that voice, something about her seemed familiar, "Where am I?"

Victoria watched him carefully as he laid their , gazing at his features as he slept she wasn't sure who he was, none of the others seemed to know but he was clearly one of them...but what division he was from she wasn't sure, but she was intent on finding out, she was about to toss another grape his way before he shot up the action making her jump just a little, his scresk causing her hands to come over her ears. " Jesus calm down would you, their going to think I'm trying to kill you in here!.." she grumbled with a shake of her head, his next question had her popping the grapes down sitting up in her chair. " Your at Kingsworld Shadow Institute...right now your in the hospital ward, how are you feeling?.." she asked, she was no longer in the same attire she wore earlier, she was changed now into a pair of tight fitted jeans and a simple top her arms folded scross her waist gazing at him with clear interest. @Jake

"Are you not trying to kill me!?" He would say almost in a frantic way, looking around the white room, it was an eerie feeling in here, but he would blame it purely on his panic later on, "Seems like whatever buddies you had in the park were trying to kick the shit out of me..." That is where he thought he remembered the face, one of those people that were there... But, was she helping or hurting in the situation, he couldn't think straight, his eyes were still hurting. He would later find out it was a concussion that was causing that, but right now, he just knew he needed to get out of that room and to his family. "I gotta go, I don't know what this place is, what the hell that was, or why you are..." he looked at the floor at the grapes that surrounded his bed, "Throwing shit at me, but I am going home..." He would begin to sit up and move off the bed, until he realized he was attached to something. An I.V. of some kind... "The hell?"

"You think I'm trying to kill you?..." she asked amusement clear behind her tone as she popped another grape in her mouth. " If I was trying to kill you, you would be dead already sweetheart..." she teased chewing on her grape. 'Seems like whatever buddies you had in the park were trying to kick the shit out of me...' her brows furrowed then peering towards him, did he not know what they were? He was a hunter surely he had training? Suddenly he was expressing he needed to go home she popped the grapes down before she stood up pushing the chair behind her as she did. " Lay down and relax your not healed enough yet..." she said placing a hand on his shoulder she easily pushed him down perhaps showing some of her strength then. " Now....you need to listen to me, I asked you earlier what division your from, but you seemed confused by it...and now your asking me about those creatures in the wood? You don't know what they are?..." she asked moving to sit on the edge of the bed now arms folded over her chest. @Jake

As she would push him back down in the bed, she looked like she used little to no effort and he almost fell through the bed, he looked up at her as she continued to talk, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at him as he looked wide eyed back at her. "Obviously, I have no idea what those things were, I don't know what division I am from other than the fucking Northwest conference of the Arizona High School League for the Maple Grove Guardians..." he would add wide eyed as he looked up at her, "Where am I? How do you know if I am healed enough? Are you a doctor?" He was growing impatient, but he didn't want to deal with her strength again as he would sigh, looking up at her, "Ma'am, I have no idea what is going on, who those people are, what I am doing right now, where I am, or what you want from me... I just want to go home to my parents. I graduate tonight, I need to walk across the stage..."

Her brows pulled together even more as he spoke, did he really have no idea what was going on here? Who he was or what he was? His next questions had a large sigh leaving her lips moving to stand from the bed again she ran a hand over her hair pondering what the hell she was going to do now.. She was pacing a little before his final words come out gazing towards him she shook her head. " I'm afraid I can't let you do that...its far to dangerous for you to be going into the mundane world right now...." she stopped pacing looking over to him. " Your parents...are they your real parents?.." she asked him seeing the frustration on his face she sighed. " Look ill explain everything right now I need you to answer my questions, who are you? Your name last name...your parents are they your birth parents?..." she asked again moving to sit back down on the chair next to his bed . @Jake

"What does that have to do..." he started to resist before looking up at her, she was clearly annoyed and agitated as well, maybe he would get out of here faster if he did just answer the questions and go along with it, "My name is John Wagstaff. My parents are Patricia and Matthew Wagstaff. I was John Smith before they officially adopted me, but I was always a Wagstaff. They took me in when I was a baby. Something happened and I was left at the site of a fire. That is all I know..." He would look up at her, "Mundane world...?" He would question as he would sit up straighter to look at her, "You don't understand, if I am not there today, this dream ends here. I can't allow that happen. I will be leaving her." He looked around the room for a clock or anything, not finding any of his belongings near him at all, and he was wearing nothing but a very thin gown, "Where is my phone? My watch? MY CLOTHES!?"

'John Smith...' her eyes widened at his name gazing at the boy infront of her with clear interest. " John Smith?...your original name was John Smith? Your sure about that?.." she asked her heart hammering harder in her chest then, if what he was saying was correct he was part of one of the most established powerful hunter families in history...the battle of what happened to his family.was something they spoke about alot in the institute...their child, their baby boy.. one everyone had assumed had died along with his parents....was it really him sitting here now?. As he questioned her about the mundane world she brought a hand to her face to pinch her nose a little she wasn't frustrated with him...this whole situation was nuts! When he spoke about needing to be their she groaned shaking her head.. " You don't understand..." she whispered before he started going on about his clothes she groaned again stepping up to him. " You listen to me and you listen good John ...right now you can not go anywhere them people who attacked you earlier will come after you again...it is not safe for you to return to that world...not yet You must stay here where you are protected by us and the elements until we can establish what we should do, I know this is confusing and I promise things will be explained..

"I can't stay here," he would say with a groan in his voice, clearly she was not listening to him, he thought, "I... HAVE... TO... GRADUATE!" He would begin to sit up again, moving towards the edge of the bed, placing his feet on the floor and reaching up, yanking the I.V. out of his arm. The stinging that he felt when he did it was uncomfortable, sure, but did it pain him? Not at all. The blood spurt on the bed and the floor though, that stopped him for just a moment, however, he would continue to move up to his feet. Scanning the room, he would begin to look for his belongings. Surely they had to be in here...

His frustration was clear to be heard on his voice as he said he had to graduate. " John..." she said carefully before he started to rip the lines from him the machines started bleeping and she could feel the anger rising inside of her clutching her hands together as she gazed at him.. " You don't get it do you?!? You leave now and go out rheir unprotected your going to be killed! Do you understand that John?!? You are not who you think you are! The life you've been living is not the life you are destined for! You go out their and go home and see your parents its not just your life in danger your be putting all theirs lives in danger! Now will you just stop being hasty!! " she shouted to him pressing a button which caused a loud lock to resound in the room. " Besides...your going no where until I decide you are...." @Jake

"And who the flying fuck are you to decide that?" He said with a grunt in his voice, "Are you a doctor or a nurse or something? You haven't even told me your name, let alone why you are fucking holding me against my will?" He would move his hand up as the sting of the needle mark on his arm would alarm him for just a second, the trickle of blood moving down his arm. He would see a tissue box beside the bed that he would pull several from to wipe the blood and move over the spot, "This is horseshit. Your hospital could be fucking sued for this..." Only then he would hear the button press and the locks on the door begin to engage. He would rush over to the only door in the room in a panic and hit against it, not budging an inch, "What the fuck!? Let me out of here, god damn it!"

" If you just sit down ill explain everything to you running around isn't helping.." When he mentioned suing the place she chuckled folding her arms around her chest. " Good fucking luck with that considering this isn't a registered building and no.pne knows about it..." she said with amusement She watched him run to the door banging on it before she grumbled loudly her hand rose then a small white light shining on her palm before she closed the palm the light seemed to push through her before she rose her palm and pushed him back , he would feel a energy of sorts dragging him back in the room until he hit the bed.

He would almost get a fist on the door to pound on it before he would feel his fist hitting resistance and then all of a sudden he was floating, not violent or hurting him, but it was certainly with intent. He would hit the bed with a soft thud as he looked over at her, "What... what was that...?" He almost cowered at this point, getting flashbacks of being kicked around and beaten by the group that... well... he still had no idea what was... He looked up at the girl, noticing her features for the first time. Even while he was cowering in fear, he would think that she was very attractive, even if he wouldn't admit this piece of information to himself until later on, but he couldn't find the read on the situation on her face. She seems almost unfazed by all of this, like she was just going through a checklist.

" Rune energy....energy that we can control...its harmless unless I don't want it to be.." She watched him cowering then and she couldn't stop the small frown that came to her face, stepping forward she gazed down towards him. " I'm not going to hurt you John..I'm here to help you, theirs alot about your life you don't understand yet, alot of important stuff, I'm sorry but your life isn't what you think it is..." she spoke with perhaps a little bit of emotion then knowing this probably wouldn't be easy for him. " One of our elders can speak to you, explain things....when your calm that Is..." she said moving to sit down on the chair again. " Or I can explain some of it, though I warn you I'm shit with words so I won't do it in a diplomatic fashion..." she teased a little. @Jake

As he would lay there, almost dumbstruck at the series of events that had just transpired within the last couple of minutes in his mind, he couldn't help but begin to sob. It was almost an overload of information, overload of senses, and just a overload of... everything... He silently sat up in the bed, "Ma'am... I promise... I promise that I will come back here and do whatever you need me to do. I will be your lap dog if you need it. But, I need to graduate. I need to see and talk to my parents... I can't just disappear from the normal world. People out there need me... They want to see me." His last attempt, almost graveling and begging for this...

She watched him break down and her face distorted , she suddenly felt sorry for him, she could understand a little bit how he felt, one moment his life was straight forward and now he was dropped into this world...he world he had no idea about. Hid words rang out and she looked at him with a sigh, shaking her head as a small groan left her lips , she walked to the door slamming her hand on a button. " Ethan I need you..." she removed her hand and waited for a moment before the door was clicked open and a tall male walked in, he was muscular and broad, his skin tanned . " What ya need V?.." for a moment the two spoke in a hushed whisper Ethan peering towards John before sighed and nodding , Victoria turning around to walk back to John. " Okay look, you can graduate and see your parents, you don't tell them about this you understand?

He smiled. The first genuine smile that he had since this morning when he left the breakfast table with his parents. He sat up in the bed, looking over the room and the new person that had entered, "I promise. I will do whatever you ask, just let me get there. What time is it?" He stood, almost frantically looking around the room for his clothes.

She couldnt stop the large sigh that left her lips , she could see the excitement on his face and she knew he really wanted this but she couldn't stop the small bout of worry from rushing through her she just hoped it all went alright. She flicked her wrist up to check the time. " It's 9.55am..." she went across the room gathering up his stuff and heading over to hand it to him. " Here, do you need to head home first?...." she asked before the door opened again and the man was back handing a array of items to her as well as a long coat, she started to connect the weapons she had to her belt before she shoved that coat on concealing it all from view. @Jake

As he was handed his stuff, he would begin going through it. He was sure they wouldn't have stole anything, but he was going to make sure that it was all there. Something he just instinctually did whenever he would leave his items out in a strange place. He looked over them to see that everything seemed to still be there. He was glad that not much time has pasted, but his friends were probably just thinking that he overslept, he can get involved with them as soon as he wanted too now. He smiled as he looked over. She... looked like she was getting ready for some kind of war as she would strap on her weapons before throwing a huge black coat over all of it, "What is all of that for? Why do you need that...?" The realization hit him, "No, no, no... You are not going with me..."

"But, how am I gonna explain..." He felt defeated in that moment, but he didn't wanna risk it again. She was going to let him leave, let him graduate and see his parents, but she would need to be with him. He would shut up in that moment and look up at her, "Umm, can I have some privacy at least to change?" He looked down, seeing that he was now in nothing but a hospital gown.

She sighed deeply as she gazed towards him hearing the hesitation in his voice folding her arms over her chest she leaned against the wall. " Just pretend I'm a old friend who wants to see you graduate...simple really..." she teased with a small shrug. When he asked for privacy she couldn't stop the grin that came onto her face again. " It's nothing I've not seen before..." she teased chuckling lightly before she finally turned around waving her hand. " But if you insist go ahead and get ready..." she said facing the wall now so she couldn't see him as he got himself ready. @Jake

"But, you haven't seen mine and I would like it to stay that way..." As she turned to him, he couldn't help but let out an experated groan, "Seriously, that's it... Whatever, dude..." He would throw his clothes from the pile onto the bed and begin to go through them. His boxers would go on first, a snuggly fit pair of boxer briefs, followed by his jeans under the gown. Finally removing the gown, he would throw his t-shirt on and look over in her direction, hoping that she had not seen anything... "Alright," he said with a sigh as he reached down to pull his shoes on, "I think I am ready to go. You are going to take me back to my car? Or straight to my house?"

He really didn't get time to rebut against her comments before she was already stepping out the door and down the hallway as he would follow behind her. He had just won his chances back of seeing his parents and his mind was already racing. He would tell them what happened and they would call the police. They would arrest this mad lady and her whole group, but in the mean time. He had to play along with her. He couldn't blow it now... "So, this place..." he asked with a curious look as he glanced around the hallways and then the garage as they stepped through, "What... where is it?"

She walked through the prestige hall way they were heading down, it was pure white and glistened in the dim lights that were lighting the hall, it seemed like a medical ward of sorts, almost like a hospital, if he didn't know any different he would probably assume he was in a hospital. His questions came as she walked to the elevator, she punched in a pin code as a pad appeared, she placed her hand on it a small red lazer scanning her hand before a beep was heard and the elevator could be heard rising up towards where they were. " It's in the centre of town, it's in a old abandoned church, if a mundane person came in here it would look like a normal church to them, with the abilities we have were able to see the place for what it is, this place is underground and is protected, those...people " when she said people she used in the air quotation marks to describe them as the elevator pinged and they stepped in clicking ground floor as the lift doors closed and headed down." Can't enter here, it's protect by our guardians so they can't Penetrate this place, it's our only safe place from them..." @Jake

He listened and he was almost blown away with all of this information. It sounded like a movie or some science fiction television show, but he refused to believe any of it. She was obviously just messing with him and his senses. He would walk behind her just following along and listening to the comments. As soon as the elevator would ping, he would jump on there with her and move to the top floor. As it opened, everything was just as she described with several cars dotted around the facility, "Which one are we taking?"

She hadn't missed that he hasn't asked her any other questions she wondered if maybe because he was simply to over whelmed, she flicked her eyes to peel towards him briefly before they both stepped out. She peered around the garage before walking to a key holder, punching in a pin number she pulled out a set of keys before shutting it up. " Were take the range rover..." she said clicking the button as the pure white range rover bleeped to attention walking forward she slipped in placing the keys in a tray she pressed a button as the engine started instantly popping her belt on. " Just let me know where I'm going...." she said before she pulled out of the garage and out into the streets if he would notice they went through some large iron gates and behind them was indeed a church. " Look.....I know all this much be confusing and...perhaps a little unreal to you, you unlike many of us was not brought up the way you should of been...but if you give us the chance we can show you what your destined for, your legacy...." she paused gazing over to him as if admiring his face then, for the first time she may even appear a little awe struck. " You really have no idea just how important you are, how in our world your parents were legendary Hunters...strong...talented hunters, one that you have the ability to be to, if you allow yourself to trust in us to show you..." @Jake

He watched as she would go to a keyholder, punching in a random code. He tried to catch the code, thinking that it might be useful for later, but he couldn't see it clearly enough to remember it so he lost the thought immediately, but seeing that they were going to take the white Range Rover, he looked almost wide eyed... This organization could afford Range Rovers...!? He followed along and got into the car as they would almost immediately begin driving as he sat down and shut the door. He would notice the church behind him, but where was the fancy garage? He let that thought move away from him as she asked where they were going, "Umm, 525 Treasure Hunters Square in Maple Grove." He didn't know if the should have given her his real address or not, but in the moment, he felt like honesty was going to be the best policy. At least until he got where they were going, then things could unravel. His plans were circling in his mind of what he was going to do until she started to speak. Telling him about how his parents were some of the most legendary 'hunters,' storong and talented, and then told him if he trusted them. He could be one of the them as well. It took him a quick second to realize that she would be referring to his biological parents and not his parents. The ones that he recognized as his mother and father, Patricia and Matthew Wagstaff. He would sigh as he looked over at her, she sounded geniune and he wanted to hear her out, but it was overwhelming... "I have no idea about any of this, ma'am... I just... I just want to see my parents and if you take me after that point, then so be it..."

When he gave the address she simply nodded punching it into the system in front of her as it started to give directions which she followed, she was listening to him but it was obvious she was paying alot of attention to what was going on around her to, scanning the small crowds of people as they drove.. She turned her attention to look forwards him as he spoke her brows furrowing a little bit. " You know...you don't seem all that interested in what I'm talking about...you don't care? Do you have any idea who you are? How important you are?...." she asked shaking her head a little at his apparent disinterest in what she was talking about. " I'm warning you now, what your doing today...is risky, going into the mundane world after coming to power, your easier to track and easier to kill because your vulnerable, your desperate to see your parents and graduate that I can understand...but I want you to know..the longer you stay around them the more at risk they become, these beings won't care who they hurt or kill to get to you....believe me or not but I'm not lying to you..." she said rather sternly turning another corner where his street was. @Jake

"Its not that I am disinterested," he would say as it almost sounded like she was a teaching disciplining him for not listening in class, "I just don't see anything that you are talking about..." He sighed as he turned and faced the road, the roads around him becoming more and more familiar as they continued down the streets, "I don't feel powerful, I don't feel important... I am just a kid who wants to go to school to play football and be left alone by people who think I am such a powerful person from a powerful family. I have no interest in this whatsoever, ma'am. I don't. I don't care if you are lying to me or if you are not, I just don't..." He sighed as he looked over at her, "This is not my calling, this is not what I am meant for. I want a family, I want kids, I want them to know their real family. Something I have not gotten in my life. If my family was so great like you say, then why did they never come and find me? Why did they leave me at that house by myself when I was a baby? Where has anyone else in that family been since that point?" He was beginning to get emotional but he steadied his breath in the moment, "Let's just get there..." And they were close indeed, he would smile as he would see the familiar streets of the cul-de-sacs surrounding his house beginning to shine through his mental fog. It was almost over... "Right up here..." he said as they pulled into a circle street at the end of a long road, "Red house on the right..." Everyone going about their days outside, old ladies walking dogs, men mowing yards, little kids playing outside, it was a normal day. He would jump out of the car when it was parked, not waiting for any kind of instruction or anything from this driver at the time as he would run up to the front door, walking in the unlocked door, "Mom, Dad!" he would shout as he walked forward into the hallway that led to various rooms, that was when he was see the blood... and bodies... that stained the carpet of the living room...

All the questions he suddenly asked her had her heart clenching in her chest, she could understand his frustration but he had to know the reasons why that didn't Happen, why they didn't come, it wasn't that they didn't want to....they simply couldn't. "John...." she started to say before he insisted on them just getting their with a heavy sigh she nodded this could wait for later, he wanted some normality for a bit and she could understand that he needed that. She went exactly where he pointed out to she pulled towards the drive instantly seeing the small black marks against the wooden door which had her heart clenching. " John..JOHN wait! " she called but it was to late he was running out. " Shit...." she muttered quickly detaching her belt she climbed from the car hurrying inside not even shutting the door properly she ran in after him the stench of the creatures was all around her causing her nose to almost burn before she saw the blood, she felt her breath still gazing around she noticed no body their and she couldn't sense anything yet but that didn't mean they weren't here. "John..I.. I'm sorry..." she said quickly realising just how distressing this must be for him. She heard the distant sounds of sirens and cursed had someone called them? " John...we Need to go..right now I don't want to cause issues in the mundane world and those things might come back...I know this is distressing and I'm sorry.. truly I'm so sorry...but we can't stay here..." @Jake

As he would round the corner, seeing the still warm bodies of his parents, bleeding out on the floor, John was almost stunned into submission, he couldn't find words or even a voice to scream in the moment as he looked down at them. They looked... exactly like they did when he left this morning... This shouldn't have happened... "You..." he would say, feeling Victoria approach him, "Did you... do this...? Why!?" His voice grew angrier and more distressed in the moment. He looked back at her, "You and this group of fucking supernatural bullshit... You killed the only family that loved me..." He would begin to feel his body tensing, almost felt like it was pulsing with an energy he never knew was there... "They didn't deserve this... do with me what you fucking want, but they don't deserve any of this..." His body would almost crash immediately, he felt the weight of the situation on his shoulders as he would fall to his parent's sides, the blood pooling around them splashing on his clothes, "Call someone... Call an ambulance, anyone... Do something!"

'You....' her eyss widened then at the way he said her name, surely he didn't think she did this? But once he turned to look towards her and the other words that followed shortly afterwards only confirmed her earlier thoughts, he did think she did this. " You think I did this??" She asked hearing the anger in his tone she felt her own anger bubbling that he even made such a suggestion, what kind of person did he think she was? Then again...he didnt know her now did he?. " I did not do this to them! Nor did any of my people Jhon, we are not responsible for this but u know who ..." she paused how ever when she felt that extreme burst of energy rush from him, the sense of it caused her breath to catch the hairs stand on the tips of her arms, her eyes widening to feel the power behind that energy....fuck they wasn't wrong about him. 'They didn't deserve this...do with me what you fucking want, but they don't deserve any of this...' She felt her chest ache for the boy then, he was right they didn't...they didn't deserve any of it, she gazed towards the door trying to ensure their was no more spikes of energy not wanting the demons to come back whilst they were in auch a vulnerable position...with a deep sigh she came back over to him, leaning down she pressed her hand against his shoulder. " I need you to know I didn't do this, WE didn't do this...." she said trying to reinforce that she was not the reason they were dead, gazing towards the door again before back to Jhon. " I can do that....but we can't be here when they come you understand? You don't understand what world we are in now Jhon....this world is not what you think, you are in grave danger...I'm sorry this happened to your parents, truly I am..." she gazed over the bodies then seeing the black marks against their chest she sighed deeply. " I'm sorry Jhon...I have to do something..." her hand rose then coming over the bodies she closed her eyes mumbling something to her self before a white spar
22:33
k of energy appeared twisted around her wrist and down to her finger tips the energy soared against their bodies illuminating them both in a calming white light, the dark marks vanished from their skin as did most of the blood leaving them in soft speckles that rose before dispursing into the air, the time she was finished they could almost look like they were sleeping, bringing her hand back she took a deep breath a small sheen of swear against her head. " It isn't safe here for you....please....please just come with me..." @Jake

As he would feel his body crash into them, he couldn't help but feel the sadness in the moment. He didn't want anything else in the moment, but for his parents to be alive. This would make the second set of parents he had lost in his life, he never got a chance to even meet the first ones. He cried, openly weeping into the air as he looked over at her. He didn't hear a word of anything that she said, but as she moved towards him, he almost fell into his parents, shielding them as she approached... "Don't fucking touch them," he said with a cry, "Leave them alone..." As she would reach forward, he would go to push away from her, but as she spoke into the air, the specks of blood would raise around them. From the carpet, from his parents, from his clothes, from her boots, all of the blood speckles would rise from the floor into the air and this just disappear..." For a moment, he thought he would feel a breath come from his parents beneath him, but nothing... They would remain lifeless, with all the blood drained from their body. He looked over at her, "What did you do...? What was that...?" Before he could get an answer, she was telling him to come with her that they couldn't stay here, "I have to stay with them... They can't be left alone," he said as he fell to them again, "The cops, they will know what to do..." Before he could finish his thought a black blur would move between the two of them, he could feel something that almost felt like a punch hit him in the jaw. Knocking him out instantly. The second time today.

She was breathing heavily after what she did, their frames no longer coated in blood instead they could simply be sleeping if you didn't know otherwise, her hand came along her head to wipe the small beads of sweat away. " I just wanted them to look better, it....it can't be easy seeing them looking like that..." she said hoping maybe now he might feel more comfortable. But of course he continued to insist he stay with them, she cursed inwardly pinching the bridge of her nose with two fingers. " This guy is going go be the death of me..." she mumbled to her self, then he mentioned the cops and she frowned deeply she couldnt let the cops turn up here, without really thinking she rose her hand moving swiftly to be beside him and socker punched him in the jaw with such force he fell to the floor she winced waving her hand about in the air as she did. " Son of a bitch..." she grumbled grabbing out her phone to make a quick call. " I need you guys here at soon as possible his parents are dead and he fucking freaked out so I hit him...yes I know! " she shouted with a exasperated sigh. " Just get here...we need to take the bodies they can't stay here, I'll see you shortly..." She hung up then gazing down at John as he laid motionless on the floor her thoughts going back to the energy he had produced earlier, he was incredibly strong....he would be a incredible hunter if he ever allowed himself to believe it. @Jake

He didn't remember anything past that surge of black that came across his face. In fact, he was out for a little bit of time, maybe half a day, maybe more... He had no idea, someone would have to tell him when he woke. However, in his time out, he would experience something that he hadn't ever experienced... Visions... Well, maybe not visions, but maybe a dream... He would be laying on the ground of a building, a home, something with a building like structure as he would look up at the ceiling. Seeing people moving around him frantically, two people would take a special interest in him. A tall blonde haired woman and an average brown hair man. But, as they stared at home, a brillant orange flash around him. The sounds of screams, moans of agony and pain, and pure chaos following. He would shoot up with a jolt... An almost familiar sight, a white room, almost like a hospital room. He looked down and seen that he was still clothed at least this time, which was good. But as he looked around, the realization sat in, "Jesus..." he would say with an annoyed tone, spying a camera in the corner of the room, "What the shit is this? Again!?"

" I really don't think he's going to come around to the idea..." Tony said as he sat upon the small table in the room gazing into the screen into the room where John was laying his arms folded showing those deep muscular arms he had the tatoos sporting along his arm and neck, though they wasn't the typical tatoos you might see, almost looked like inscriptions and symbols across his flesh, Victoria frowned sitting back on the chair with her arms folded. " Maybe, maybe not...either way he either listens or he's going to die their really isn't any in-between here, I'm sure once we have managed to convince him of everything he will be ready to learn, you didn't feel his power like I did...it...it was incredible..." she said almost breathlessly causing Tony to chuckle. " Listen to you getting all hot under the collar for the new boy..." he teased laughing as Victoria reached forward and punched him playfully in the shoulder. "Shut up Tony! It's not that...I'm just saying, he's strong the powers I felt coming of him was insane, they were right about what they said about him...no wonder the demons want him dead so badly..." Suddenly the shout coming from the room brought her attention back, she gazed into the monitor chuckling a little at the sheer frustration she could hear in his voice. Pressing a button so her voice could penetrate the room. " Awww and he's me thinking you was warming up to us..." she teased through the monitor before her voice was serious Once more. " I had to get you out of there, it wasn't safe for you or for me and I couldn't have the police sniffing around, their not to be trusted neither....theirs alot you need to know about the world your living in John, its not all it appears to be and you need to understand that, you think we're here to hurt you but its the opposite, we want to.keep you safe, we want to teach you and show you what your capable of, the people you believe are their to protect you are not.John..." @Jake

John would take a minute and gather a little more about his surrounding as the familiar voice would speak. This was not the hospital room that he was in before. It was almost like a dorm room that he had seen when he visited colleges. A 10 foot by 10 foot room with a large bed, dressers, a television, a small cabinet area, and little sink was in the room. Across the room was a door that was not like the hospital one, it looked like he could freely open it if he wanted too. But, the sudden thought hit him and he almost interrupted the final part of her sentence, "Miss... Whatever you name is," he would sound almost frantic, "My parents, they are okay right, that was just a dream?" He wasn't sure why he would ask that again, thinking this might just be something they did to him in the hospital room...

"Please..." That was all he could muster as he looked over at the desk that was in the corner of the room, he had no idea why he focused on the desk when he did, but he would always remember every detail of that desk in the moment. They say that is a part of trauma, but in the moment, it was something that kept him grounded to the moment as he sat there and wait for Victoria to make her way to the room.

Victoria felt her face falter when she watched how defeated he seemed to be in that room moving to stand from the chair she sighed pushing the chair in. " Disconnect all the cameras to that room now, if he stays he will be staying their and I certainly don't want him thinking we are spying on him.." "Sure Victoria, do you want me to come?...incase he freaks out or anything..." she smiled towards the man then shaking his head. " I can handle it...thanks..." giving his shoulder a soft squeeze she made her way out of the room and towards where the doms were making her way to where his room was she knocked on the door not wanting to simply walk in on him. When he opened it she smiled tenderly towards him, sporting a pair of jeans and a shirt she nodded. " Come follow me..." she said waiting for him before making her way down the corridor to where the elevator was, pressing the button she waited for the elevator not saying much to him now perhaps because she simply didn't know what to say. @Jake

His focus would finally shift away from the desk and look over at the girl, Victoria as he now knew her, walk through the door. He would sigh as he would stand and follow her. The moments that followed were quiet and tense for a few moments as they rode the elevator and moved through the hallways to the hospital area he remember from before. She would move him along to the destination, a morgue of some kind that was set up here. He couldn't help the little cry that escaped him as he would see his mother and father, wearing the same clothes that he had seen them in earlier, laying lifeless on the table. Their skin beginning to grew grey and cold from the time that had passed, but it seems like the crew here had done work on them. As he approached, he felt the same anger, sadness, and energy that he had before. He continued to walk forward, but didn't notice the rattling objects around him, a loud cry would escape his lips as he found himself beside of his mother and father, "It is not... FAIR!!!" With the scream, he would feel his body shutter with an energy that he had never felt before. One that drained him almost immediately. He fell to his knee, louding sobbing escaping him in the moment as an alarm bell would begin to ring in the hallway... "Victoria..." he said as he looked up, "It's not fair..."

The silence that followed there ride down in thr elevator was defening, she wanted to say something anything to try and consol him, she knew once he reached the morgue where his parents were was going to bring it all back to him, and if she was honest she was ill equipt to deal with this sort of thing, yet out of everyone here she was probably the best person to atleast try and help him. It was quiet down here, not many people around, walking to the morgue door she opened it allowing him to step inside of it, she walked in with hum instantly hearing the small cry that escaped him a soft ache penatrated her heart. "John...." she whispered out and maybe she would if approached him before she felt that energy again, it stole her breath away the strength of it knocking any air from her lungs, caused the hair on her arms to stand up, she gazed over the room noticing all the items quivering with the intensity of the energy causing her eyes to widen before he cried out, the sudden intensity of it smashed a few glasses across the room causing her to jump a little. The sound of the alarm rang out, she cursed knowing he would have a array of people turn up, and low and behold it took only a moment for people to arrive she gazed towards them shaking her head. " Go....were fine..." One of the males gazed into the room looking to John clearly sensing the energy his face twisted into a frown. " Vicky...." " I said go....were fine..." she repeated a bit more firmer then, the man nodded ushering the other people out the sound of the alarm stopped and the door closed, Victoria stepped forward then lowering her self down next to him. " Nothing is fair in this world John, life sends us trials to test us, to see the strength of our vessel, I'm sorry I wasn't able to save them John, if I could of done I would..." she whispered a small sigh leaving her lips gazing up to the bodies on the tables her features creasing into a frown. " I lost my parents as well, when I was fourtee

" Surely you must feel the energy I've been feeling of you the last few days, a energy that can help rid this planet of those things, a energy only some of us are blessed with..."

He listened to her, still staring at the bodies of his fallen parents. Other than the cold, white skin, they just looked like they were sleeping. He couldn't help but continue to sob, mostly silently at this point, "Energy?" he would question, "I don't know about an energy, Victoria. My world just shattered... That was not energy... That was fucking pain..." He would remain silent for a moment as she would place a hand on his shoulder, "Can you promise me that they will be done right and buried close? Even if it is unmarked? I don't know how this place does, but I assume you don't want people to know that they are here..." He looked down at them then up at a clock, for all he knew it was just later in the day, but he had a feeling that he should ask, "Umm, what time is it? Did I miss my graduation?" He didn't care for any of that right now, just a general curiousness of the situation.

Of course he wouldn't understand he had no clue what she was talking about, his explanation would of course make sense to atleast him, and yet she knew the reason, but she figured right now wasn't the best time to press such matters. His next words had her sighing before she nodded. " I've sorted it, we have graves where we burry our own kind, I requested that they be burride their...alongside your real birth parents..." she said carefully, he had to realise they were here to, he needed to know just how important be was and hopefully one day he would see that.

"My... real parents...?" His question was not one of annoyance or even of curiosity, but confusion, "Victoria, my real parents are right here on these slabs. I know you don't get it, but these are the people that raised me, made me who I am. Those other parents, my biological parents, they might have been amazing people, but I didn't and don't know them. They are just figures that left me, voluntarily or involuntarily. These two are the only family I had..." He took a moment to sigh, letting a suppressed sob out, taking a moment to cry and let things really set in, "So, at least they will mail my diploma to the house," he said with a laugh, trying to make light of the situation, "Maybe when they see we are all missing now, they will take pity on me and still let me use that diploma in the future. But, I have a feeling I am not getting out of here for a long time, am I?"

Of course the second he said those words she knew she was probably being incredible insensitive, of course he considered these his real parents they were the ones who he had spent his entire life with, she moved to sit down beside him then clutching her hands in her lap. " I'm sorry John, that was insensitive of me, I just meant....your birth parents, I know you don't know them but ....us Hunters...we know them very well, and If you ever want to know about them we would be more then happy to tell you..." When he spoke about his diploma her face edged into sadness again, she felt incredibly sad for him in this moment she could only imagine how he was feeling. " I imagine they would...." she whispered out gazing up to his parents on the table before his next question hit her ears, she turned to look towards him sighing deeply. " We can't make you stay here John, this isn't a prison, no one is forced here the difference is we have been made aware of our purpose since we were born, you can go if you want....but the only thing certain for you then is death, they won't stop until you are, they want all of us dead, only we are more equipped and have a better knowledge of how to protect ourself against them, you don't....but like I said, we can't make you do anything...I just...you need to know how special you are, even if it doesn't feel like it right now..." @Jake

He would listen to her words, letting her trail off at the end of those words, slowly looking up at her with a smile at her acknowledge that he could leave, but in his mind, he knew it was not that simple. Whatever this was, whatever was out there, whatever they are, this is something that he has been pulled into, regardless of how he feels or what the purpose of his previous life was, it felt like this was life now. He looked down at the ground with a sigh as he said, "I can't promise I will stay forever," his eyes turning back up to her, "But, I can promise you that I will stay long enough to kill whatever it was that did this to them..." He would stand up and walk over to the corpses of his parents, laid out on the table, "Just let me know when you do a ceremony or whatever it is that you all do," he would say with a sadness in his voice, "I would like to be there when they get lowered into the ground, maybe see the graves of my biologicals as well. Until then, do I just stay here in that room you had me in?"

Victoria noticed the smile that crossed his face and she couldn't help feel a little bit of relief hoping that maybe he was starting to at least come to terms with what was going on now, his words had her nodding offering him a small smile. " I'm not expecting you to, this place isn't meant for you to stay here forever, plenty of Hunters live outside of these walls..." his last words brought a softer smile to her face. " And we can help you to develop your skills to enable you to do that, were all behind you John..." She pulled her self up from the floor then as he did wrapped her arms around her self standing back allowing him to do what he needed to do on his own. " The funeral is planned for tomorrow morning, you can come any time you like to visit them before....and yes you can have that room...but you don't have to stay their, there's many places here you can explore. We have a library canteen gym pools fitness area training rooms...though I probably wouldn't advise going in their right now..." she teased trying to bring some light to the situation.

"I would like to stay here with them for a little while if I can," he would ask as he would begin to look over them, "Thank you..." He looked down at the lifeless bodies of the two people in front of him. He knew in this building, he would never be alone, but right now, was the closest he would get to it. With the cameras panning in every direction, he couldn't help but feel the emotion and stress of the situation. His tears would wail up, beginning to flow down his face in a gentle sob. A breathless, wordless cry of emotion, but nothing shaking the room this time. No anger. Just acceptance. He didn't know how long he was like this, but he finally stood after a long time and began to walk out of the room. Stopping to look back at them one last time, "I love you. I will make you proud... somehow." He would turn the corner and begin to walk back in the direction they had come before. He would find his room and just sit for a while...

Victoria heard his response and nodded lightly towards him. " I understand John, take as much time as you need , I'm going to head down to the main training room, take a look around if you like, if you want me ask someone and there direct you to where I am....I am truly sorry....for everything..." She gave his shoulder a soft squeeze before making her way out of the room, she peeked behind to where he was watching him break down which brought a sadness over her, she hated what had happened for him, and she hated it even more that he was now dragged into a world he probably didn't even want. With a heavy sigh she made her way away from the room and out of the long corridor to head towards the training room, she was feeling many emotions and knew a good training session would help with that. @Jake

As he sat in the room, he felt like nothing was around him, the ticking of a clock was the only sounds that accompanied his thoughts in the moment, he couldn't help but just feel so alone in the moment. He looked around the room to take in his surroundings for the area that he would be living in the for the next... however long he would be here. A large 20x20 room, in the back right corner was a bed. It felt bigger than a full sized bed that he had at home, but it couldn't quite judge it. On the other side of the room, a large desk with a pen and paper that was already stocked on it. He wasn't sure what that was for other than complimentary. Across the room were two other doors, one that led to a walk in style closet and another that lead to a full sized bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet. It was a regular hotel, but the room was almost blindingly white. Everything from the decor to the walls and floor. It felt like an insane asylum. As he would look up, he would see something that he hadn't noticed before, a television. He was unsure of what he would find on the television right now, but he was interested to see if they had the local channels at least. As he would see a remote on the desk, he would stand up and walk over to grab the remote. Once it was turned on and a local NBC affiliate turned on, the news would begin to speak, "Coming up at 6, a family missing in town. Signs of a struggle, but no culprit or bodies to be found... More on this mystery at 6." He sighed. He couldn't escape it.

Victoria had decided to leave John in peace, he was after all very fragile and emotional right now the last thing she wanted was to over crowd him and make the situation worse, deciding she would go down to the training room to atleast let some of her own frustrations out, stepping down the wide corridors she made it into the large complex peering up to the TV on the wall she watched as the news report came on noticed the family it was reporting missing and frowned deeply. It was obvious it was him, she sighed deeply running a hand through her hair, she had lost her family just like he had and she understood that loss more then anything, but what made it worse for him now was he didn't grow up in this society like she did, didn't grow up with people who she now considered family, and she knew above all else he would find that the hardest. With another deep frown she diverted her gaze away from the TV stepping forward to the training room she punched in a number and stepped in the doors closing swiftly behind ber. @Jake

John has sat in the room forever, leaving the television off in the moment, just to sit there and collect his thoughts on the day. He couldn't help but find himself lost in the world at the moment. Nothing seemed real and nothing made sense. He would find his way to his feet in the moment, looking for something, anything to occupy his time as he would step forward through the door that blocked him from the rest of the facility. He would walk down a long hallway, it almost felt like a dorm hallway in a college, but he would finally see a sign that would point in various directions. One of those would be a training room. He remembered her advising that he shouldn't be going to those right now, but he was curious to see what was in there. He would follow the hallway down, passing a cafeteria, a lounge room, and other stuff on his way, but once he made it to the training rooms, he would see another sign that said observation. He would step into that room, but the lights would be off and empty in the room. He would step in and automatic sensor would turn the lights on around him. He would step forward to some theater style that sat above what looked like an arena. He would see something bounce of the window to the room as he would step to the window and look.

Victoria was In the training room panting hard holding two almost daggers in her hands, the uniform she had on was slightly torn from the obvious fighting she had been doing whilst down their, if you paid close attention you would see small specs of blood against her face. "Victoria.....maybe you should take a break? You've been going constantly for the last few hours..." a male voice rang out through the training room causing Victoria to groan " I'm fine Vinnie.....start the simulation you have the emergency stop their should you believe I need it..." she shouted back almost breathlessly before she prepared her self the simulation connected and instead of humans infront of her like earlier dark grooly figures appeared loud screeches coming from their throat, Victoria grit her teeth and held the daggers tighter, a strong wind could be seen pulling around her those daggerinf glowing a deep shade of blue now her eyes becoming deeper as small crackles and pops seemed to radiate of her body.before she shot forward and another fight had begun @Jake

John would sit there and watch her in this room, in the room several robots, demon looking things, and just mysterious figures would surround and one right after the next, she would take down each of them. He would hear her speak to someone named Vinne and ask for the simulation to start up. As he watched her, the dark figures would approach and she would seemingly look more and more concerned before small crackles and pops of energy seem to appear out of the nothing around her. He looked down at her, his body getting closer and closer to the window as he waited for what would come next.

Blink and you would of missed her, the speed in which she moved was extraordinary her body shooting forward to where the demon figures stood, she moved towards one quickly her body purpelling into the air and those daggers twisting the blue energy rushed around her as they connected with one of the demons the body vanishing almost instantly in a puff of black smoke a eerie cried heard as she landed on her feet . She took a deep breath before she turned back round to face the other two the daggers spun in her hands before one of the demons released a loud eerie cry, her body was suddenly being pushed back those daggers lifting as almost a small shield appeared in front of her the energy pushing against her was flying around the shield almost like wind did, she was so preoccupied with the one demon that she failed to miss the other one coming around the back of her. Before she even had a chance go react the demon had her by her hair, the act caused her shield to diminish the energy coming from the demon smacked fully into her , the force of making her body fly through the air as she slammed into the wall behind her with a loud thud , her daggers before left in the centre of the arena right where the demons were. Her body fell to the floor the demons approaching as the radio crackled. 'Victoria were going to en...' " no! Don't you dare Vinnie....leave it...now shut up and let me concentrate..." she could feel blood at the corners of her mouth as she lifted her hand one of her daggers instantly flying across towards her the same time the demon did, she twisted her body round to move out the way bringing that dagger up to penetrate its chest before the other one quickly channeled energy which dragged her backwards again, she grunted with annoyance loosing her footing she fell to the ground. The two demons approaching her she lifted her hand to Try and get her daggers before one of the demons clasped her by the throat and lifted her up, holding so tightly she coul

d barely breath her hand coming to dig into its wrist before a wind was generated between them, something was being pulled out of Victoria her body almost going limp before suddenly the stimulation ended....the demons vanished and her body fell to the floor in a limp, suddenly a few people came running in. 'Victoria! Victoria are you okay?' a young woman spoke moving quickly to her looking to Vinnie she growled. 'I told you to stop it Vinnie!!' she complained before both their attentions turned to Victoria who groaned and rolled onto her back . " Shut up you two....or i swear ill leave you in here with them, this is your fault if you didn't distract me I would of had their ass... " she grumbled tiredly causing Vinnie to chuckle. 'See! Told you she's fine Georgia, such a fucking worry wart..' he teased before looking down to Victoria. 'For real...girl your okay?..' " Yeah....yeah I'm fine just give me a moment..." she said suddenly feeling extremly exhausted as she laid on the floor trying to regain her composure. @Jake

Watching how the blue streak that use to be Victoria would rush around the room, he couldn't help but let his jaw drop in awe of what she was doing in front of his very eyes. He watched as she would begin to move through at a blazing pace, but he would see the demon have her by the hair, his hands would fall on the window, "Victori..." Her body crashing against the wall of the room almost sent a rattle through the room he was standing in. So much so that he would actually step back for a moment away from the window, worried that the glass may come down on top of him. As heard the voice from the speakers chiming in again, her voice rattling back that she wanted him to just shut up, he looked down at the ground where she was laying. She was almot battered to the point of exhaustion, even he could see that. Something was not right and the blood pooling from her lips showed that internal damage was more than likely there... With a flash, she darted across the room, quicker than his eyes could keep up, but another demon was gone and she was down off her feet again. As she would try to gather her senses, the demons would close on her and one would lift her up by the throat so quickly that he yelled out, "Victoria!" Without any other notice, he would rush out of the room and begin down the hallway towards the training room signs. He would miss everything else, but find the door open and a group surrounding Victoria as she was on the ground, "You're okay?"

Victoria's head was pounding, she could feel the warmth of blood by her mouth her hand coming up to swipe across it lightly as the other two hovered over her, with a deep groan she managed to lift her self up to a sitting position watching as the two came forward instantly making her hold her hand up. " Please don't...I'm perfectly fine..." she grumbled her hand coming to rub down her face just a little to Try and smooth away the uncomfortable feeling in her head from the knock she took before she suddenly saw John come running in, she peeked up towards him noticing the worry on his face her brows furrowed together just a little, he was worride? With a small sigh she nodded towards him. " Yes I am fine....don't worry about me John I've taken bigger knocks then that..." she teased with a small smile his face even if her face was distorted with the discomfort she was feeling. " But ill be okay..." 'Vic....we should get you to the medical ward to make sure your okay?..' Vinne suggested causing Victoria to huff and shake her head. " I've got pain killers in my room that's all I need.." Vinnie frowned then shaking his head. 'Always so bloody stubborn...come on let's go....she's obviously okT...' Vinnie said with a grumble to the other girl who was there who frowned deeply before sighing and making their way out leaving Victoria and John behind. " Don't you go fretting neither...them two are such worry warts...." she teased her hand lifting to wipe a bit more blood away from her mouth. @Jake

"But, your... I saw..." he sighed as he looked at her, he knew in his mind nothing he would say to her right now would matter in the slightest, "Do you live in the dorms too? If so, will you at least let me help you get back there?" He looked up at her with eyes that seem to glow with a soft blue hue of compassion in the moment, just wanting to make sure that someone he might care for a little bit was okay. In that moment, he knew, he knew that she wasn't just going to be some random someone to him... She saved him...

'But your....i saw' She peeked up to him then, the worry and concern clearly behind his gaze which was boring down on her, she was perhaps a little confused in that moment, had he had a change of heart about her? Either way...right now despite her obvious complexation she was indeed a little sore, the wince she gave as she sat up a little bit more on the floor a indication of that. "I Do live here yes...have done for a many years now, and if it makes you feel better you are more then welcome to escort me back..." she gave him a weary smile reaching up for his hand and if he gave it her she would use it for support to pull her self up groaning a little as she did. " Damn simulation...kicks my ass more times then I'd like to admit..." she teased composing her self a little before she started to head out, ensuring she was keeping up with him, her steps a little shaky a clear indication of perhaps the energy she had used in that fight but she was managing to keep her self on her feet as they walked. " Did you.....Did you watch all that?.." she asked idly as they walked, passing a few people as they went who glanced their way. @Jake

"If I didn't watch all of it," he would say with a smile as he would reach down, letting his arm slip under her arm for a moment, running the course of her back, trying to help steady her, "I watched the worst parts of it. Do you or anyone else here always go that hard in training?" He looked her over, bruises and welts starting to form over her body, the blood was drying but it seemed to be trivial at this point. He looked over the girl, she had a cute, bad girl, tom boy charm to her in that moment, but he didn't feel a hatred that he felt before. No, that hatred was being replaced by something else, something harder to explain in his mind as they would round the corner into the hallways of the old facility.

His words brought a smile to her face, feeling his hand coming under her arm she didn't resist, her arm coiling around his and leaning against him a little for support, she did after all feel tired, that had taken its toll on her even if she didn't completely admit to it, she felt his arm change as his hand ran along her spine in support her smile growing ever more to feel how careful he was with her. She sighed at his question peeking out across the corridor , turning the corner when he did knowing they were nearing where her own room was. " I mean, some of us do? It depends...I like to push myself to beyond my limits, I don't always win, but we have safety precautions here, make no mistake if I was in trouble people would know instantly and the simulation would end, you can get hurt pretty badly in there but nothing that isn't fixable with some rest and time in the medical ward, but your never be *killed " she said she small groan left her then to feel the aches in her body. " Even if it feels like your dying sometimes..." she teased smirking up to him once more. " But yes...some of us go hard, because you have to...if you go for easy simulations when you get our beyond these walls and meet the real demons, you think there going to take the softy softy approach? Because they won't....you need to prepare yourself and that's what I do....every single damn day..." @Jake

John would listen intently to her story as they made their way through the halls of the academy. He couldn't help but wonder what would be next for him in this room, but he didn't want to even think about any of that right now. Burying his parents would be the first step in a long line of 'acceptance' for him when it cames to this. As they would round the corner to the dorms, he would look over at her, "Which one is yours?" If she would direct the way, he would help carry her into the room, easing her in before asking, "Is there anything I can do to help right now?"

She noticed how silence he was now, she was sure their was a lot he was trying to take in, after all this was all new to him so she couldn't really blame him, though he seemed at least a little bit more accepting of what was going on, that was atleast what she thought, when he spoke he distracted her thoughts gazing up she pointed towards where her room was. " Just up there a few doors away..." she replied following him silently, the slight thump in her head was growing annoying and she knew she needed to get a tablet of sorts for it otherwise it would only grow worse, once there she gently placed her self back down gazing back towards him with a shake of her head. " I should be okay...nothing a few painkillers won't cure, did you...want to come in? I have drinks and snacks? If you don't fancy being on your own that is..." @Jake

As John would listen to her, he would still feel the overwhelming sensation of loneliness and not knowing what is coming next. He helped her towards the room, letting her stop in the doorway instead, not wanting to intrude. He smiled as he would step back a couple of spaces, letting her have space in the moment. But, when she asked if he wanted to come in, it almost took him by surprise. In the moment, he couldn't imagine a change in her demeanor... When they first met, she almost seemed like she didn't want anything to do with him, but now, she was inviting him into her dorm room in this... place. Life was indeed strange. But, he wouldn't disagree that he needed to be with someone right now. Life was not good. Best not be alone. "Sure," he would say as he smile and let his hand grow through his hair with almost a nervous tick, "I would actually like that very much..."

As he accepted her invite she smiled a little towards him, regardless of her feelings towards him and the situation she could atleast understand how he must be feeling right now, she to lost her parents she could only imagine how difficult it must be for him, plus with this whole situation unfolding around him...it couldn't be easy, she might of been a tough cookie but she wasn't heartless. " Sure...well come on in..." she said opening the door allowing him to come in, the room was dark at first before she switched on the lights, small lights flickered on that was dotted around the room, a large blanket of sorts covering her obvious window, the lights were soft illuminating the soft furnishings and array of sheets and different artifacts in the room, plush cushions on the floor a TV not far from her bed, a small couch in the centre and a mini fridge clearly stocked with a array of snacks and drinks. " Go and help yourself to anything you want..." she offered moving over to her desk where she opened the drawer rummaging through it and pulling out a box of pills which she promptly opened and popped a few into her hands. @Jake

As they walked into the room, the feeling of the room immediately sent a relaxing feeling over John, he felt like this was something that was initial, but didn't want to voice it in public. The way that she had decorated, it put his generic white tile dorm to shame. As she would offer him a snack from the fridge, he would watch as she would rummage through her desk, grabbing a couple of pills and popping them into her mouth. Generic Tylenol, he thought to himself, that is what they got here? Not some kind of super powered drug? He would grab a small water bottle and a cereal bar of some sort from the little snack area and walk to, what he assumed, was the seating area. There didn't seem to be any real options of seating other than the couch and the cushions, so he would opt for the couch instead of the cushions. As he would sit, he would speak up, "So..." he would begin, feeling uneasy, "I am just gonna flat out ask... What's next for me...?"
