On my knees, in between his legs.
There was a clatter. Soemthing big and breakable fell and it sounded like it shattered. Curious, her eyes opened and she rubbed the sleep out of them.Slipping her feet into her warm fuzzies, she grabbed her roommate's bat and quietly turned the knob of her dorm room door. Twisting it slowly, she opened it and poked her head out. Seeing the coast was clear she walked out of the room completely. She wasn't hearing anything else but that didn't stop her. She swore she heard something fall and she planned to figure out what it was. There was a muffled scream and it was close by. She turned around and started running towards it, wielding that bat in the air still to ready herself. Turning the corner of the hall, she saw someone dragging something heavy away. She tiptoed silently and then got up against the wall since she saw a shadow moving. Counting to three, she swallowed hard and then jumped out, only to see a cat. Frowning, she put her bat down and in that moment, a hand touched her shoulder. Out of surprise, she turned and jabbed her bat into the person's stomach, hearing a manly groan before his body touched the ground.

"Oh my god, I'm so--" She started her apology but then she saw a knocked out classmate on the floor not to far away and her eyes widened. "K-Kid-n-napper!" She whispered loudly but it wasn't loudly to attract any attention. He then grabbed her foot and he pulled, causing her to fall back. She let out a small groan and winced, watching as he was about to tackle her. She kicked her legs up in the in the air, causing him to be kicked back against the wall. The commotion started to attract attention but slowly.

"Why you--" He grumbled. She got up and started to claw at his masked covered face, indeed ripping his mask off eventually and getting a glimpse of his face. She hesitated for a moment to examine it and he took the high road and wrapped his hands around her neck and started to choke her down. She struggled, anger and anxiety building up in her. She closed her eyes, kicking at him and hitting him to let her go and then something happened. She blacked out and a power came over her. Soon, she had pushed him back hard with a huge gust of wind and she was constantly keeping him back with this power. Her eyes had glazed over to a foggy white and she grabbed the bat, spinning it insanely fast causing a whirlpool of wind to hold him back.

He however was strong and strong willed and he struggled but he managed to just grab her knocked out classmate that he was in the process of kidnapping and crawled away until he was out of her ring of fire and ran, escaping. He was sucessful. As the need for the sudden power faded, so did all her energy and she fell to the floor with a thud, passed out. she was clas in a tank top and boxer shorts and a lot of the color from her skin faded. She looked way too pale.

Suddenly, students opened their dorm rooms to see what all the fuss was about. The fuss was her; Lllewellyn Forbes, passed out in the middle of the third floor of dorms. It was obvious it wasn't sleepwalking. Something happened.
 
Dal heard the noises outside his room. He knew they were not good, but he was very tired. He hadn't had much sleep. With a yawn he rubbed his eyes and slowly swung himself out of bed. He slowly went over to his door and opened it slightly. He peeked out and what he saw stunned him. Well, a little. It was definitely unexpected. there was a girl who seemed to be producing powerful wind out of nowhere.

He stepped back into his room, grabbed his phone, and dialed a number quickly. It wasn't a hospital, it wasn't the police, it wasn't even any school faculty. It was another student. After a few words and a room number, he hung up. He left his room and saw the girl laying on the floor.

He took control of the situation from there. He asked who she was and a few other questions about what anyone else knew about what had happened. No one knew much at all. He checked her pulse and tried to wake her. When she did not respond he lifted her up and carried her downstairs and then out of the building. He got her to the infirmary as quickly as he could. The night nurse was there and he placed her on a bed, leaving her in the care of the nurse. Then he went to talk with a friend about what to do next.
 
Once Llew was off in the hands of the nurse, immediately she worked to bring the girl back to consciousness. While she took her blood pressure, she saw how high it was and immediately gave her a pill to bring it down and it'd work fast. From the looks of it, whatever happened caused her blood pressure to go way high and she didn't have a stroke but it put quite the damper on her body. Going to the sink, the nurse ripped a paper towel and she folded it and then soaked it in water and squeaked almost all the water out. Going back to Llew, she placed it over her forehead. It'd probably help a lot.

A little while later, Llew started to wake up. She didn't remember what happened much except for the fact that someone was kidnapped but she didn't understand how or why she was in the nurse's office. Putting a hand to her head, she took the towel off and then looked at the nurse who was now walking to her. "What happened?" Llew asked, blinking a little bit.

"That's something I'd like to know. A young man brought you in. Do you remember anything?" She asked.

"Um...just that Ariana Walsh was kidnapped and I tried to stop it." She said softly. This caused the nurse's eyes to widen and she instantly called the Dean to notify him. He had already known since Ariana's roommate freaked when she didn't find her there. Putting the phone down, the nurse looked at Llew. "You may want to talk to the Dean and explain to him what you saw." She said softly.

Nodding, Llew got herself signed out and she walked out of the nurse's office and walked towards the Dean's office. It was awkward walking the school halls in her pajamas and her warm fuzzies on her feet. Once she got there though, she knocked on the door and was allowed to walk in, seeing Ariana's parents already there. Wow, information spread fast.

"Ms. Forbes. Please sit." Dean Wallace said, gesturing her to a seat. Doing so, she sat down and looked at Ariana's parents and then back at the Dean.

"I understand that you were there when it happened. Did you happen to get a look at the kidnapper?"

Right now, her mind was fuzzy. She hardly remembered much since it all happened so fast and the next thing she knew she had passed out and was waking up in the nurse's office. Shaking her head, she frowned. "Not right now. It all happened so fast, I'm still processing it. I don't know what happened, sir. One minute, I was being choked by him, the next, I managed to free myself and then third...it all went black and I was waking up in Mrs. Aldman's office."
 
Dal met with a few other students. The spoke quickly and quietly in a dark corridor. They made plans fast. Then went to get them going. They knew that the nurse was skilled and would have the girl awake and feeling better in no time. Soon after she would be telling someone in the offices about what had happened.

Dal went to the offices and waited behind a corner, listening for footsteps. When they came he peeked out and saw the girl on her way in to speak with the dean. He waited for his signal.

The signal came as the lights went out. She had just finished explaining things to the dean when everything went black. Dal and one other student moved in quickly and silently. They left a simple note with a symbol on it for the dean, letting them know she was safe. Then they grabbed her. They covered her mouth and dragged her down a hallway and through a door that looked like it was just a janitor's closet. After a couple minutes they were in an empty room. They put her down and Dal left, letting the others talk with her. he stayed outside the room as a lookout and guard.
 
In the sudden instance when the lights went out, Llew looked around and gasped when she was suddenly grabbed. Her mouth was covered and she was kicking and trying to get away. What, did the kidnapper guy come back and take her too? God, this school totally lacked in security!

Eventually she stopped fighting and once she was sat in a room, she shook her head and looked around in the dark room. Then there were voices and the lights came on and she saw three guys. Swallowing hard, her eyes widened. She recognized them and the fact they brought her here, made her all the more confused.

"Uh...what's--" She started and then was shushed. Her jaw dropped. He did not just shush me! She thought in her mind, making a face at them.

"We know what you did..." One guy said.

This caused her to raise a brow. "If you're talking about the kidnapping, I wasn't part of it. I was trying to stop it."

"Not that." Another said. "Do you realize that you emitted strong winds, not from the bat you used but from your hands, from your body?"

Her eyes widened even more this time, her jaw dropped once more, she unsure of what to say.

"That's why you passed out. You produced massive amounts of energy all at once and it put a damper on your body. But what if we could tell you we know how you can control it?"

"I'd say you better show me rather than tell me because all this isn't exactly the most convincing..."
 
Dal waited outside. He knew it might take a while and a lot of convincing for the girl to understand. He heard some noises inside but still waited outside. He had been in her position before. They all had at one time or another. Hopefully she would start to understand.

After a while he was summoned into the room. Apparently he was needed to talk to the girl. He entered and stood in front of her. "Hello, I am Dal. I know you must have heard and seen a lot of things that seem insane already tonight. I don't expect you to believe it all. We have you here for two reasons. The others have told you the first. The second is the kidnapping. We would like your help to find those who took the girl and get her back safely. I saw your efforts to help her and saw your power first hand. We could use any information you can remember. If you can't remember anything, we have someone who can help you using their powers. So, will you help us?"
 
"We could show you, or we can force you..." A more aggressive guy said, tiring of her antics and smart-ass remarks.

Her eyes narrowed, fighting off the temptation of wanting to put his head right in the wall.

Another guy stopped the aggressive one. "You really need to believe us. There are more like you who weren't as accepting or believing of their abilities at first but because they were in the long run, they've become quite powerful and can wield their power flawlessly. You can do that too and not black out each time."

Since it wasn't the first time she blacked out the way she did--as it happened a lot more frequently--she let out a small breath of air. "I suppose..." She murmured.

When the guy walked in, she looked up at him. "Hey I know you..." She murmured, sitting back in the chair as he spoke. As he referred to whether or not she could remember, she tried to but it was all still fuzzy since she was kind of recuperating still. "I can't remember anything fully at this moment. It's all sort of a blur but I can help. I mean...I tried to stop him but he still got away. All I do know is that I think, I thin I saw his face. I know at some point I pulled his mask off..." She said, slowly remembering.

"But will I really be able to control my powers? Because...I'm not exactly a big fan of blacking out each time and crossing a near-stroke line."
 
Dal listened as she said she might have seen the man's face. That would be good if they could get that information. It was also good that she was starting to remember more. Any info they could get would be very useful in finding and retrieving the kidnapped girl.

She asked if she would really be able to control her powers. He smiled and nodded. "Yes, if you do as we instruct, eventually you will be abel to control your power. We have all been where you are now. We have all had to learn slowly how to handle the abilities. Fairly soon you will not black out any more, and soon after that you will get some basic control. Just trust in us. Those with powers similar to yours will help you out. We will introduce you to them in the morning. For now I would suggest going to get some sleep now." He signaled to have the door opened for her and for someone to escort her out and give her instructions for the morning.
 
Llew nodded, sitting there even after he motioned for her to be escorted out. It was all mulling over in her brain and then a vivid image of the kidnapper hit her harder and faster than a tidal wave. She winced, putting a couple of fingers to her temple, eyes going wide. Swallowing hard, she let out a deep breath and looked at them, nodding slowly. Pushing that sudden vision off, she stood and moved to the door, walking out and feeling more than inclined to withhold the information of the face of the kidnapper. Maybe some sleep would do her good and come later in the morning, she'd be better equipped. Until then.

Walking back with the escort, she hardly said a thing and just as they got to the door of her dorm, she turned and looked at him. "Okay. I'm going to say this now so I can get a decent couple hours more of sleep. I know what the killer looks like. That thing back in that room before I left where it looked like a huge pain struck through my head, it was a very vivid image of the kidnapper, and boy was he pissed." She said softly.
 
Dal stayed and spoke with the others for a while longer. They decided who would be her mentor. Dal would be her guardian, since he was just down the hall from her. He would make sure nothing bad happened to her. He didn't have the right skills to train her though. Others would have to handle that. Once they knew who it would be, they sent messages to them with instructions, and then went back to their rooms.

Dal returned to his room. It was early in the morning and he was tired. Luckily he had a single room. He didn't have to worry about waking a room mate. He entered and went right to bed. He slept quickly. It was not the most restfull. He woke a little late in the morning, showered quickly, dressed, and ate a simple breakfast. Then he went to the meeting place and waited for Llew to arrive, as well as those assigned to teach her.
 
The guy simply said nothing. Apparently he was the aggressive one. Rolling her eyes, she just went into her room, careful not to disturb her roommate. Going back to bed, she lay down and closed her eyes. As much as she'd love for a couple more hours of sleep, it wasn't happening for her. With a small sigh, she just lay on her back, staring at the clock for the next five minutes before finally getting up and just showering. She took an hour long shower to pass the time, all the images of what happened that morning coming back to her in an almost full blast. It hit her pretty hard actually and now Llew remembered what happened.

Once it was time, she bid her roommate--whom she wasn't really close to--a good day and then walked out and went to the meeting area. Once there, she saw Dal and bit her lower lip, shoving her hands into the pockets of her sweater. "So..." She wasn't ever a breakfast person and always ended up skipping it. It's not like it salted her game or anything.
 
Amellie and Tim arrived just after Llew got to the meeting place. Dal smiled at the girl who seemed a little nervous. He cleared his throat, then spoke. "Good morning Lllewellyn. Thank you for coming to meet with me this morning. It is a good sign. Because of your trust, we will make a commitment to doing all we can to help you. I would like you to meet Amellie and Tim. They have powers much like yours. They will be your mentors and teachers. They will help you control your abilities. And, since we live close to eachother, I will be your guardian. If there is anything at all you need help with or to talk about, just let me know. I will help you all I can. Now, is there anything you would like to say or ask us before I let these two take you to start teaching you?"
 
If they weren't her mother or father or two older brothers, she always got shivers when someone called her by Llewellyn and not just Llew. Noticing Amellie and Tim, she then looked over to Dal, nodding to him gently. "Anytime." She said softly. As he explained, she looked over to Amellie and Tim once more and gave them a light smile. Nodding once more, she pursed her lips in thought, wondering if she should tell Dal or not that she knows the kidnapper is, that she can identify him, maybe describe him. "Um...I can identify him." Him referring to the kidnapper. She stood a little awkwardly, still letting all this sink in. Apparently she had a power and she got in the middle of a kidnapping and the fact that a fellow student was still gone, she felt so much guilt on her, she wanted to do anything and everything possible to get her back, even if it did mean she had believe she had some power. She was a bit iffy on it still but maybe it really would explain her constant blackouts.
 
Dal smiled when Llew said she could identify the kidnapper. Yet she seemed nervous to him. He got up from his seat and placed a hand on her shoulder gently. "I will let someone know you can identify him. They will come talk to you later. As for being nervous, there is no need to be. I hope that you will be able to trust us. Anyway, it is time for your first day of training. Your teachers will be told of your absence. You will not miss classes often, but it is needed now to get your powers at least partially under control. If you ever need to contact me, knock on my door or give me a call. I'll be around." He handed her a card and then stepped back, letting the others take her to their training room and start getting her powers controlled.
 
Nodding, she took the card and then watched as he went. She looked down on it and then tucked it in her bag and turned to Amellie and Tim. "So...how's it all going to start?" She asked curiously, wondering what her training would be like. Somehow she felt really scared. Here she always thought she was a normal teen just in boarding school because like many of the other students, the parents didn't have time for them. Now apparently she had some power. As much as she wanted to, she still couldn't wrap her head around it. She always thought she was normal, well normal enough, but now...way too heavy.
 
Dal went off to his classes. He knew that Llew was in good hands. What the two trainers would do to start would be to figure out how to activate her power. They would support her and hopefully only get it going a little. Her power was different from his, so he didn't know what they would do. They had gone through it before and would probably do those things as well. It would be safe though, and unless something would go wrong, a lot would be learned by Llew and the trainers. On average it took a week to teach someone to to be able to activate their power and then the control started to be learned.
 
Amelie and Tim walked her out towards the track and towards the locker rooms. Raising a brow, she just followed, not going to ask much of questions. Walking into the boy's locker rooms--that happened to be abandoned--and they went to an elevator that was installed there recently. Pressing a button, the doors opened and they walked in, Llew following in after them. This was eerie.

The elevator took them down underground where the secret society was housed. Once there, she stepped out and looked around. It didn't look like it was underground at all. "Oh my--"

"Come on." Amelie said, motioning for Llew not to get left behind. As she followed with them, she passed by many people, some of whom were training and practicing, she getting a first look into the use of their power. It was incredible and she was now starting to see it wasn't a joke. They came to a practice dojo and walked in. It was specifically designed for their kind of power use and Amelie and Tim stood in the front. Llew looked at them, raising a brow.

"Now...try to channel your power to the surface. Whatever you were feeling before you blacked out, let that happen again Tim and I will take care of the rest." Amelie said softly, nodding encouragingly to Llew.

Letting out a small deep breath, she closed her eyes, channeling the anger and frustration and sudden loss of control of her fate. She let out another breath but it had more strength than a usual breath would. Her hand balled into fists and then let go, just the slightest movement, emitting air from her finger tips. And just when she thought she'd have some control on the little power, it mutated into another blackout and she was losing control. Suddenly, it was like a whirlwind was formed, enveloping her, though.

Amelie and Tim quickly moved, sucking out the air that was encasing her. Tim pulled her out of there and the minute he did, the whirlwind stopped. She was the source to it and pulling it away, it cut the monster whirlwind. Llew collapsed in his arms. Amelie sighed quietly and she went to get a bowl of water and a cloth. Coming back and seeing Llew lying down, she put the folded cloth over her forehead.

"If this continues, it will start to put a damper on her life." Amelie said.

Tim finally spoke. "I haven't seen power like that in a long time..." He said quietly. They both nodded and waited for her to wake. It'd be a little more difficult than they thought.
 
Dal got the call a short while later. He was needed to help with Llew. He got up in the middle of class and simply left. Some students seemed confused, but the teacher said nothing. He simply went to the elevator and went down to the society's area. He walked over to the dojo and entered.

He knelt next to Llew and placed a hand on her shoulder. He looked at her carefully. He sighed. She was just not strong enough to hold on. He looked at the others. It seemed he was needed to help her to start. He had a very unique power. If he focused he could either sap the strength and energy of others, or build it up using his own energy. He could even channel power between people. He found it very useful. In traning in teams against eachother he could take the energy of one of his opponents or their strength, leaving them useless. He could also channel his teams strength and energy into their strongest person and let them take care of the others. It had a lot of good things, but took a lot out of him. He couldn't keep it up for too long and ended up being quite tiring. The more he developed it the less effort it took, but he had only been in control of it for a relatively short time.

He went and got some water and then focused. He channeled some of his own energy and put it into Llew. He hoped that the energy boost would help wake her. Then he could also give her more energy as she channeled her own power and hopefully it would help her not pass out. He was not sure if it would work, but it was really their only hope of teaching her without having long breaks because of her passing out.
 
As the energy filled in through her body, she had the strength to wake and her eyes opened slowly. They blinked fast a couple of times and she sat up, putting a hand to her head. It was in her head she felt the most of the pain when waking up. She saw Dal there and she raised a brow. When did he get there? "What happened?" She asked quietly, freaked out a bit. This used to happen the most when she was home one summer. her parents noticed her constant black outs and they had her checked up. It was at that check up that the doctor told her that constant repeated black outs would soon put a damper on her health and life. They never could pin point how these black outs were being caused but now that she knew, she wanted nothing more than to control her power so she wouldn't suddenly keel over one day and die.

Amelie knelt down beside her and took the cloth from her head. "You blacked out again. You were doing so good too but then it consumed you." She said softly, frowning.

Swallowing hard, Llew looked to Dal and then at Amelie and Tim. "How can this be fixed? I don't want to keep blacking out. I hear that it's not exactly wise for my health." She said softly.

Amelie looked from Tim and then to Dal. "We'll let Dal answer that. After all...he's the one who brought you back to land of the conscious." She said gently, helping Llew sit up a bit better.

[edited]
 
Dal smiled as she woke up. "Nice to see you awake again. To help you out I will be using my power. It is very unique and hard to explain. I can not control nature or produce things like you or most other people here. I can give or take away energy and strength from people. I gave you some of my energy to bring you back."

He got up and stepped back. He leaned against the wall. Then he continued to explain. "What I am going to do is use my energy, and probably Tim's as well, to give you mroe energy and strength to keep you from passing out as you learn how to channel your power in better ways that will exhaust you less. I will be able to feel the energy you use and tell you effectively what worked better. Do you understand? If so I will sit back and let these two continue working with you."
 
Llew nodded and she stood slowly, Amelie helping her so she didn't over do it just from standing up. She had enough energy in her thanks to Dal to wake her up at least. With a small sigh, she put her hands on her hips and looked over to Dal, nodding once more as he finished explaining. "I understand." she said softly.

"Good. So, do you want to start up again or do you need a little more of a breather?" Amelie asked.

Llew bit her lower lip and she nodded. "Um...we can try again. I'll try to not let it consume me this time." She said quietly, finally standing up fully straight. She still felt so drained but she needed to control this. She needed to stop these black outs before they'd be hazardous to her health.

Amelie and Tim stepped back, standing in the front of the dojo like they were before. Closing her eyes, she let out soft and timid breaths, letting her body regain the feelings she felt that helped to bring out her power better. Anger, frustration and fear. Not the best combination but it really triggered it well and this time, she controlled the emotions so they didn't get the best of her.

Her breaths started to become more stronger; each time she let out a breath, the force could be felt. Her hand released from being balled up in fists and from that little action, air emitted. Feeling she had a certain control over it, she opened her eyes, they taking the look of a snowy white color instead of the usual hazel color. She took a step forward, releasing enough force of air and then waved her arms and hands along in circle, creating a sort of ball of air and then pushed it forward gently.

However, she started to feel like the power and energy was consuming her again but this time she was able to fight it. As her eyes returned to their usual hazel color and she came out of it, she nearly keeled over but caught her balance, blinking a bit. If anything, she was a bit paler than before but she didn't black out. "oh my god!" Even more, she remembered using her power.
 
Dal watched, happy that Llew was willing to keep going. He focused and channeled some more of his energy into her as she started to try getting her power going. As she started to get it going he put more into it. The more she channeled, the more energy and strength he had to give to her. As she stopped he dropped to his knees. He was exhausted.

He stayed there on hands and knees, barely holding himself up. The ammount of energy she had needed to get her power out was amazing. He hoped she learned to control it quickly, because it was taking a lot out of him. Tim looked at Dal and went to kneel next to him. He spoke a few words and Dal nodded. He placed a hand on Tim's shoulder and focused. He sapped his energy to regain enough so he wasn't completely exhausted. He stood and looked at Llew. "That was good. I think that is enough for now. We will meet again this afternoon. Tim and I should be recovered by then." He looked at Llew and smiled. She had done well for her first time trying to purposely channel her ability.
 
Amelie, surprised and shocked went to Llew and helped her from falling. "That was really good." She said softly with a gentle smile. A very tired Llew nodded and smiled, looking over to Dal. "Oh my god!" She moved to him and bit her lower lip. She then remembered that he said he would be channeling his energy and strength into her and no doubt it took some out of him. "Alright. You both take it easy. Thanks." She wasn't so sure now how she'd feel having him feed her energy and strength but hopefully it'd all be until she could somewhat control her power enough to not need him helping her in that way. She felt so bad now.
 
Dal went with Tim and got some food to regain some energy. He knew that Amellie would take care of Llew. He drank a lot of water. The power that Llew had hidden inside was amazing. She could probably be one of the strongest out of all the students. Her strength would only grow with time. He imagined some of the things she could be capable of doing. Tim seemed to be thinking the same things. He was already writing out a plan of abilities to teach her that she could do with her power. Dal was focused on how he could help her without exhausting himself, Tim, and Llew every time she tapped into her power.
 
After the boys left, Amelie took Llew under her wing and helped her by walking her out of the dojo and towards the elevator to go to the cafeteria in the school. Once there and with some food--mostly for Llew--they sat down and Llew ate slowly to regain her energy. Even with all the energy that Dal had to transfer to her, it all got sucked up so easily. It was crazy.

"That was amazing though Llew." Amelie said in a hushed tones.

Llew looked over to her and smiled gently. "Really?" She couldn't believe she could even wield that power like that. "I try...?" She laughed.

Amelie laughed and patted her shoulder. "You're going to be great. With more practice, you'll no doubt be really strong." She said softly. "And to catch that kidnapper and bring back Ariana Walsh. She must be so terrified."

Swallowing hard, Llew nodded. "She wasn't conscious when she was being kidnapped. But if she was awake, no doubt she would have been scared out of her mind. I don't really know her but I don't understand why someone would kidnap her."
