"Wow Justin uhn, I mean there's a lot of Justin in this school how are you going to ever find him." Giovanna asked after listening to Isleen encounter.
"Find him am I supposed to?" Isleen asked looking confused.
"I can't believe you said that" Giovanna said.
"I didn't even get to see him, there's nothing special about the scenario it just another casual day, you shouldn't get your hopes high" Isleen said.
Giovanna sigh Patting Isleen shoulder staring at the female pitifully.
"Don't give me that look" Isleen said.
"It can't be helped" Giovanna said to her and she received a glare from Isleen.

~Back at the elite building~
Orlaith stare at her elongated nail and stare at her face through the mirror in her room, her brow furrow as she noticed her eyes switching to red and her fang elongating.
A knock came on the door and she turn, she was going to ignore who ever it was but the Knock came again harder.
She sigh and tried reversing her phrase. She blink severally but it was of no use so she turn the lights off instead.
She opened the door and Thaddeus stood at the other side.
"Thad?" She called.
"Hey" he replied and her face relax but she didn't step away to let him in.
"Aren't you supposed to be in your dorm rooms and not walk around, what are you doing over here" she asked leaning on the door.
Thad shrug his hand finding it way to his pocket.
"Am not sure, he replied sincerely I guess I was worried about you" he said silently.
Orlaith heart race she swallow the lump feeling in her throat.
"Ahhh am fine, there's nothing to worry about " she said. She didn't want to feel like this, like the loser she always was like the loser she will always be.
She had betrayed them both months ago, there's nothing she could do, she could only distance her self from things that would hurt them both. She can't bear to go through the pain again.
"Um.... Can I...." Thad was saying but Orlaith cut in.
"It late now Thad am exhausted todays event wore me out I need my rest" Orlaith said looking away from him.
"Sure" Thaddeus replied, Orlaith nodded and slowly closed the door.
Her lips quiver and she lean against the door biting back the tears.
Thad lean against the door tiredly before turning to walk away.

~In the committee office~
"The vermin's (bunch of lowly being, they are considered vermin's after they have their essence consume by soul eaters) getting closer to the school barrier they almost broke through it today " Aiden one of the school committee said.
They sat round each other five set of people two women and three men.
"Words have been sent to the court we hope for their reply soon" derrick said.
"If this goes on the school might be in danger and things might not look good, remember most of this kids are important figures in the society, we wouldn't want to face bunch of elite pressing down on us" Mia said, she look round at the people present her grey eyes darting front and back.
"What do you mean important figures everyone present are all important, we are the problem in the community, separating the children hasn't given them any sense of unity" Kathrine a werewolf said.
The dean whose head was bowed said, he had his hand on the table.
"We need to protect the kids, these things are getting closer we can't afford another mistake like yesterday, if anything goes wrong then it would be chaos in the supernatural realm. The dean said..
"As of now we will be watchful we have make sure to reenforce the wards" the dean said.

Class began the fourth week, Alaric walk past the elite building after class, he made his way to the Peasant building where he was giddy up to see Isleen although she is unfamiliar with who he was.
He had on a disguise, dressed casually in a civil uniform, Alaric made his way into the building.
Although unlike the elite the peasant were normal around civil, some couples of civil can be seen around the place.
With a hood over his head Alaric walk in hoping the spell he had on didn't give him away.
"Sorry" someone said as they had bump into him. Alaric ignored her and stroll forward.
He search through the class and came to stand in front of the entrance he had saw her the other day.
"Today class was exhausting," Isleen said she was seated with the rest of the girls Giovanna, Avery and Vida.
"Mundane labor it the last thing I want to learn" Avery said.
"Working for a cooperate organization, it would be super fun." Vida said.
"The supernatural journalist are also on per with the humans network they are growing rapidly. Am sure I will be great on that field" Giovanna said.
"You are just perfect for it" Isleen replied her which made Giovanna narrow her eyes.
"Why does that sound like an insult?" Giovanna asked. Avery and Vida chuckle.
"Insult ?I wouldn't dare" Isleen replied.
"Come here you" Giovanna said getting up her seat. Isleen follow running out the class. She chuckled as Giovanna came after her.
"Didn't mean that I promise" Isleen said running off. She look over her shoulder to see Giovanna behind her.
She bump into someone so hard it sent her falling back, before she could make a landing on the floor she was pulled back up.
She stare into a set of Raven black eyes and a familiar smell of earth overwhelmed her nostril.
'It's you' she thought.
She was surprised when Alaric nod his head.
"Hello Isleen" Alaric said.
"Justin?" She called unsure. Alaric nodded.
Giovanna stop two feet away from Isleen and began grinning. Avery and Vida walk out to see Isleen in the arms of a certain guy.
Giovanna pulled them both away and they walk the other direction.
"Who was that?" Avery asked curiously.
"Not sure," Giovanna grin as she lead them away.
"You seem sure though" Vida said and Giovanna replied.
"I do"
"Cut your crab where are you taking us?" Avery ask.
"Training" came Giovanna simple reply.
"No thank you" Avery was going to pull away but was stopped by Giovanna vampire strength which held her down.
"Your paw needs some stretching" Giovanna told her.
"I think it your earring sense that needs more training." Avery told her.
"Shut up" Giovanna said her voice echoing in the hallway.
Isleen stepped back and look up to take a good view of Justin ( as Alaric had address himself to her)
"How did you know who I was?" Alaric asked.
"Your smell is too Unique to be forgotten" she said with a smile.
"It is?" Alaric let out a smile and nodded.
"What brought you here?" Isleen asked as they began walking away.
"Um I couldn't resist not meeting you again" he replied her. Isleen blushed.
She shook her head Giovanna has instill nonsense in her.
She was surprised he was a Blondie (he isn't blonde Alaric has on a spell which conceal his actual look). why did she felt like he was a Black headed male the last time she was with him.
"Um..." Isleen said short of words she has never really hung out with any one except the girls.
"Do you want to check out the school ward with me, I know a short cut." He suggested.
Isleen stare shocked by him.
" The school ward? isn't that like forbidden?" Isleen asked.
"Says who" a mischievous smile played in Alaric lips and the next thing she know she was out the school building and next to the school boarder because.... She didn't know how can anyone be so fast and be so casual about it, she ignored it anyway.
"Oh my God" Isleen said fascinated by the blue hue coming from the ward, from a closer look it was beautiful.
'How is this made?' she thought to herself.
Alaric replied her.
"The coven witches are elemental as you know, with earth, air, water and fire they are able to cocoon this ward. See that blue hue coming from the ward, it fire element, you can feel the warmness standing at close range"
"The transparency must be water" Isleen said looking amused by her new discovery. Alaric eyes glimmer with a smile.
"You are smart"he told her and continue his explanation.
"The water element is mixed with air that way we won't suffocate in the school due to lack of air." Alaric said.
"If air is a fundamental element then the ward such be penetrable " Isleen said turning to look at Alaric. Alaric nodded at her questions.
"That's true it should have been able to penetrate through but then there's the earth element. With it the school ward was solidify, once you hit it it feels solid way too solid" Alaric told her.
Isleen look at it with wonder, she turn grinning.
"It__ it's magical, I want to learn more of it" Isleen said.
"Learn more? Only witches can learn spell" Alaric said his brow furrowing, as far as he knows she was a seer.
Isleen look at him scared he would disapprove of who she was.
"I am part witch and part human. I was born with a rare ability, my father was a mere human but my mother was a witch" Isleen explained.
Alaric was taken aback but he wasn't as surprised as she expected him to.
"That's one combination" he said looking unfazed.
"You aren't bothered about it, I mean witches aren't very accepted in the society even though the court has made it legal for them to live amongst others" Isleen said.
"I believe not all witches ,are the same, we all have a good and bad side of us" Alaric said.
Now he understands how she was able to communicate with him through mind link.
Sure he could hear others thought but he can't communicate with them through it.
But it seems she not very well versed with her abilities, she has a lot more to explore.
Isleen smile looking like a very cheerful girl she was.
"You are different, how come I never come across you before?" Isleen asked.
"Ahhh I mean I enrolled recently" Alaric lied.
Isleen nodded and they continued forward as they walk though the school park which was void of students.
"Why did you attend Harmony College?" Alaric asked watching as her raven hair blew back from her line of sight thanks to the wind.
"I was sent by my mom, she fears am not well aligned to my lineage, as a witch am supposed to know spells and how to cast them. But even with the necessities I can't seem to make a good one" Isleen said.
Alaric nodded.
"Understandable, it not easy to carry your lineage on your self no body wants to handle responsibility at a young age, we are supposed to be free.
Alaric place his hand to his side away from his hood he took them off feeling hot all of a sudden so he hang it on the tree they stood beside.
"There's a midterm next week, are you going home or are you staying back at school" Alaric asked.
Isleen shook her head, "not sure yet"
The school bell rang.
"Time up I have class later Mrs Alaina won't spare me if I miss it" Isleen said.
"Too bad" Alaric said but nodded anyway.
Isleen began strolling off but she was stopped by Alaric .
"Would I see you again?" He asked.
Isleen turn and reply.
"Well it up to you" she gave him a smile and walk off.
Alaric smile happily he took off his disguise and was going to make his way to Walk away, he turn again to reach for his hood but stop midway and he turn to the side to see Isleen standing at the entrance to the lower class building looking at him grimly and angrily.
"Caught" he mutter and stood straight grabbing his hood. Isleen dashed forward.
