Class went by quickly. Nearly everyone was impressed by Salenne's magic. Klaus kept sneaking glances at her. Areto went up to Elias. "Did I do something wrong?" he asked "I was just trying to protect you." Elias turned around. "You did nothing wrong. I know you where protecting me." Elias seemed like he didn't want to talk. "Your the youngest surely they want me with you." Shaking his head Elias walked away. "Just do as your told, Areto." Walking away Elias left. Standing there alone Areto cleared his mind and made his way to the school lake. It was a place where he feels safe. Every now and then some animals from the nearby forest come out and sit with him. Walking to the lake he put up his hood, the other students were staring at him. Whispering "They removed him from the dorms" and "Stay away his cursed." The lake came into veiw. It's clear water reflecting like jewels with the sun. Areto removed his cloak, laying it down he sat on it. Going into his bag he took out a jar and his wand. "Lumen Fireya." A candle flame appered inside it. The grass felt soft on his hand has he placed the jar down. Taking out one of his books he started practicing spells. The sun started to set as he packed up. He headed towards Klaus's office. The halls where empty as the other students were on their way to the dorms. Areto saw a figure leave the prefect's office. Salenne turned on her heel and stormed off, her bird gliding by her side. "I told you not to go." To his surprise her bird talked. *Talking to people is not Klaus's best skill it seems* Thinking that Areto knocked on his door. Yanking it open Klaus look shocked. "I've never seen you lose your composer." Straighting his tie Klaus welcomed him in. "The papers are on the table already."

Salenne's point of view
"I told you not to go." PB's voice sounded. Looking at her in annoyance Salanne let about a sigh. "You don't have to repeat your self. I heard you the last ten times." Walking in the school flower garden, PB landed on a rose arch. "Why are we even here Necromancy is banned anyway." Stopping, I looked at PB. Her light blue feathers where normal for a blue jay. The eight eyes, and claws on the joints on her wings where not. When her beak was closed you couldn't see her venomous fangs, her talons are too. Smiling at the memory Salenne continue walking. Landing on my shoulder PB ask. "So why are we here?" Walking through the dormitory gates, Salenne opened the door. "To gain knowledge." I made my way up to my room. "And the books back home can't do that." Releasing a sigh she shook her head. "I've read those books a dozen times already. The contents haven't changed." Entering their room, PB went a bedpost. "So what knowledge are you looking for?" Going my chest I took out bath salts. Laying her cloak on her bed, Salenne went to the bathroom. "Why do you still use that stuff?"
"Because I like my skin."
Putting the salts on the edge I removed my clothes. PB entered, seeing the salts she tilted her head. "You can soak in those all you want those scars are never going away. Especially that mark." Touching her lower back she felt a thin scar. "The knowledge I seek is creation. If not then maybe some parts of it." Getting in she relaxed as much as she could. "You can't tame it. I watched it kill the person in town. It didn't hesitate to kill. Didn't even acknowledge me." Rubbing the oil in her hair, Salenne went under water. Clearing her face of water she rested her head on a knuckle. "I don't care what or who it kills. We're not here for it."
Getting closer PB nuzzled up against Salenne's cheek. "Try making friends with your roomy. She might useful." Placing my hand on PB's back I messed with her feathers. "I don't want to drag her into this. She's too... innocent for it."

"Your bed is in there. Try to be up early. Still got work to do." Klaus pointed to the bed by the door. Changing out of their school uniform they both went to bed. Klaus's soft snoring swiftly came. Areto tossed and turned. His mind kept running circles. The new girl, Elias's new roommate, then the beast running around. *Please let Elias stay safe.* Finally getting sleepy, he closed his eyes. Nightmares of Elias getting hurt, Cerim getting killed, and of Guy screaming for help didn't let him get any rest.
