Theo looked around the room after he had slid the key through and pushed the door open. Adrienne thought he looked a little bit paranoid, but didn't say anything. He finally walked back to the door, motioning for them to come in. His mother, Anyeria, went first, then Evyna, and Adrienne went last, turning around to look up and down the hall before closing the door behind them. The hotel was seemingly empty, which struck Adrienne as odd. It may have just been because the service from the front desk was less than exceptional. The manager also had what seemed like a face which had one too many plastic surgeries, and a voice which made any sane person shudder. Evyna immediately pulled out her wand, working on dying her short hair a white-blond. Her new name was Emily State. Anyeria's had already been decided, but was not open for discussion, the subject being dismissed as irrelevant by Theo. "Right now it's best if we separate," Theo began, "Not completely, mind you. Mother, stay with Evyna. I'll stay with Adrienne." Evyna, who had surprisingly taken to Theo, gave him a hard look. "If you let anything happen to her...," she warned. Anyeria turned on Evyna. "Theo is quite capable-" "It's fine," he said, and both of them became quiet. "Don't start anything with each other," he suggested, rather than commanded. They complied, though they didn't look especially happy. Adrienne felt herself stiffen. She saw no reason to be afraid, though she knew this bothered Theo. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall in a bored way. Evyna seemed very similar, and though Anyeria was not afraid, she wasn't so calm. Her wand was drawn and she was peering out of windows. "I don't think you realize," he began softly to Adrienne, "that though I'll try my best, if they decide to kill you there's not much I can do to protect you. Zy was always better than me. Maybe because he enjoyed it more, I don't know..." "We need to tell Porcelain." "She shares telepathy with her brother," he stated simply, as if this ended the matter. "So?" "Want to protect him too?" he snapped, his eyes darkening. "Do you want to let them die?" "I can let him die," he replied, crossing his arms and she had no doubt in her mind he would. "That's cold." "He's a sociopath." "You're a killer." "If you think they're the same thing, you're dumber than I thought." Adrienne now knew why he pissed Porcelain off so badly and had the sudden urge to punch him in the face, but didn't. "She's my friend." "I know. Get her in New York. Leave her a message." Adrienne nodded, picking up the hotel phone and dialing Porcelain's number. The answering machine went off. "Porcelain and Zephyr....get in New York now. We're at the first hotel past the airport. Come as quickly as possible," she said, trying to keep her tone light so it wasn't suspicious. Theo nodded in approval when she hung up.

Porcelain walked into the hotel lobby and looked around. 'Where the hell are they?' She asked herself walking a circle. She had luckily changed before she left the country, Her jeans and t-shirt fitted in well with the other people she saw on the street. She dropped her luggage on the ground. "So.. What now?" She asked Zephyr.

Zephyr entered the hotel, still slightly confused. "I don't know. Why exactly did we come here, anyway? I don't really remember it being explained to me why I was being dragged halfway across the world."
Zephyr yawned. He realized he hadn't slept since...wow...he didn't know when. Before the ball? Magic and caffiene had been the only thing keeping him awake for so long. He really needed to crash in a hotel room and sleep, for a very long time. He didn't think it was healthy to rely on magic to stay awake for so long.
Suddenly, he felt really nausous and dizzy. He stumbled against the wall. "I think I need to lay down or something," he said, hardly able to keep his eyes open. He found himself collapsing to the floor, but really didn't care. He just wanted sleep.

Porcelain stared, She walked up to the front desk and bought a room for a few nights. She walked back over to Zephyr and shook him, "Zeph!" She yelled hoping to wake him up. "I have a room, Go use it." She said shaking the key card in front of him.

Adrienne ran into the lobby, hugging Porcelain tightly. She let go, grinning, but her blue eyes were sad. "There's a lot you need to know." She said, taking Porcelain's arm and pulling her towards the designated room, and motioned for Zephyr to follow.
"And a lot you don't," Theo countered, his arms crossed over his chest. He leaned back against the wall at the edge of the hall, a shadow cast over his green eyes.

Porcelain frowned, "That seems sorta like bad news.." She said following Adrienne, She looked at Theo, "Good to see you or rather not.." She said happily, "So spill.." She demanded politely.

Adrienne glanced at Theo who returned her look with a warning one of his own. She pretended it didn't send an uneasy shiver down her spine as she looked back at Porcelain. "There's someone from some sort of Secret Organization who's recruiting potentials. It's either a lifetime of service or death. And if they decide to recruit you and you turn them down you're faced with death," Adrienne glanced at Theo, she had not been given restraints on what to say, only warnings not to say too much. How was she supposed to know how much was too much? So she only told her what she needed to know. "They've taken an interest on students from Final Academy because of our powers, or the fact we've been labeled as dangerous." She stopped there, getting quiet.
Theo stepped forward. "I think we all better get in a room. I don't like a big group of targets being out in the open. Somehow it doesn't suit me as safe."

Porcelain laughed, "Yeah and pigs fly.." She said sarcastically. "No offense.. But I'm obviously not dangerous as some other people I know.."
She smirked, "This sadly sounds a bit far-fetched if you ask me.. I mean I doubt that any will bother with me. In fact I'd like to see them try." She rolled her eyes. "No one wants someone like me in a killer society. And that probably goes for Zeph as well." She grinned. "You'll have to explain a bit further to get my attention. " She shrugged, "Which room?"

Theo sighed. "Don't think I care. It was Adrienne's idea to tell you. But, while we're at it... If they don't go for you, then they'll hurt you to get to someone else. Did I mention the 'join or die' bit?"

Porcelain doubled over in laughter. "I'm sorry but it's just not normal." She calmed herself down and looked up at Adrienne, "I suppose that I should warn Sebastian about this though." She frowned. "Do you know he had the nerve to bring that bitch over my house? They are probably having sex and doing drugs now." She growled.
"I have missed you and your sarcastic remarks Theo.." She walked over and hugged him tightly, "Life has been quite dull without you mocking me." She let go of him and backed away. "I want you to teach me how to use knives." She already had knives but she needed to know how to use them.

Theo stood in shock. That was terribly unexpected. "Okay...sure. I'll be sure to mock you through that as well." He looked at her once more. "Are you positive you aren't inebriated right now?"
"Don't tell Adams...the other Adams," she said between a growl and a hiss, her eyes becoming violently stormy and clouded.

Porcelain shook her head, "Nope, The last time I drank was at the club which was a very bad night for me." She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and looked at Adrienne, "You.. You.. You dyed your hair.. And.. And cut it." She said surprised. She frowned as she was jealous, Brann said to not cut it nor change the color. Damn him. "Why can't I tell him about the odd people that are gathering people?" She asked calmly. "I have to warn Brann as well."

Adrienne laughed without humor. It was a higher than usual, hysterical laugh. "That's incredibly stupid. Tell the sociopath about the other sociopaths who are looking for dangerous violent people to join them. That'll just make everything fine and well, won't it?" She ran her hand through her hair. "Yes I did."
Theo stiffened at the mention at the club. "Neither of you should drink. Girls almost never have satisfactory alcohol tolerances....well for guys it may be satisfactory, but as far as not getting drunk easily they fail. Badly." He opened the door to the hotel room with his key card. Anyeria and Evyna were still inside. "My mother, Anyeria, and Adrienne's aunt, Evyna," he introduced. "This is Porcelain and Zephyr."

Porcelain curtseyed politely, "'ello there. Pleasure to meet you." She said formally. She suddenly started laughing again. "Can we suggest Maegan to them, Just kill that bitch off for good?" She sighed, "I suppose not." She glanced at Theo. "So tell me Theo.. How do you know about this? You are not really one of them are you?" She asked in a suspicious tone.

"Nice to meet you," Evyna greeted cheerfully, and Anyeria nodded in recognition to her.
"If I was, I would be dead by now. No. One of them came to my house, as good as threatened me, gave me some pictures, and left. We had hunted together a few times. He enjoys torturing more than your sadistic brother," he replied, sitting down on the bed and leaning his head into the headboard.
Adrienne rolled her eyes irritably. The motion was childish, she knew, but she didn't quite care. "Why is Sebastian Adams brought up so much in conversation? It's not as if he's even important."
"You only notice because you're in love with him," Theo stated apathetically, switching his gaze to the ceiling.
Adrienne's hands were consumed in flames as a shadow passed over her irises, darkening the blue to a darker, grayish color. "I'm not."
Theo didn't seem fazed. "If it helps, I'm too selfish to care."
Evyna looked like she might have said something, but had no idea what to say so just stood out of her niece's affairs. "Porcelain...what would your last name be?" she asked pleasantly, perching on a sitting chair in a corner of the room, and motioning for Porcelain to sit across from her.

Porcelain sat down in the chair and looked away from Adrienne, 'Best not to get yourself killed by the girl who could shoot flames..' She thought cheerfully. "I'm Porcelain Adams." She looked back over to Adrienne, "You okay Alste?" She snickered. "How could you not worry about your girlfriend, Theo? If you were with me that attitude would change." She grinned. "So what do you do for a living Miss or is it Mrs. Alste?"

Evyna looked mildly offended at the suggestion of her being a misses. "I work at a salon, at a bar, among other things," she replied, "And it's 'miss'. Actually, don't use any prefix like that. It's Evyna."
Theo smirked as he arched an eyebrow. "Would it? I'm not so sure..."
Adrienne thought she should care that her friend was flirting with her significant other, but she didn't. She looked down at her hands and the flames quickly snuffed out. She didn't bother to say anything. She didn't think she was in love with him, but after hearing it from everyone else she was beginning to doubt her thoughts. No. She hated him. She smirked as she sat cheerfully on the bed, her mood lightened after she cleared that up with herself. "Porcelain....," she said in a mock warning tone, pretending to look angry, but failing as she began to laugh slightly.

Porcelain put on an innocent face, "Yes?" She smirked slightly, 'Do not try and piss of your best friend in a hotel room' She warned herself. "Well see Theo, There would only be one way to find out.." She suggested playfully then glanced at Adrienne, "I am not flirting with of course, I wouldn't do that." She grinned because she knew that wasn't true.

Anyeria and Evyna walked into the adjoining room, closing the door behind them after a muttered good-byes and good-nights. Their farewells were mingled with threats and warnings about what not to do, and promises to check in.
Theo shrugged. "She's not allowed to care. She made out with the guy who tortured me for fun. Oh, and who completely broke her heart. And then tried to seduce her. Then got her drunk...and the list goes on."
Adrienne shut her eyes tight, leaning back so she was completely stretched across the bed, then curling up while hugging a pillow. The position would have seemed pathetic in a cute, childish way, except for the angry, violent look which cursed her face. She didn't say anything, because she knew he was right.

Porcelain raised an eyebrow, "Don't shag my brother, That's a big no-no. He has like seven stds and more coming." She said somewhat happily, Good for Sebastian.. He deserved what was coming to him. "Would you like to have some privacy?" She asked leaning back into the chair, She had no intention of giving it to them but felt the need to ask. "So you both live here in New York?" She asked getting up and looking out a window, "Wow, There is this big lady on the water."
