Tem looked to the left and at the floor. She knew if he was to look into her eyes he wouldn't need telepathy to read her mind. He'd know. "Why would I lie?" she asked quietly. She didn't much know the answer to this question either... she only wanted to protect him. "If I did, Theo, I'd have a very good reason to." She said hoping he's drop it.

Theo nodded, looking as though he wouldn't push the subject any further. He took a seat beside her and dropped his voice. "See...I understand if you don't want to tell me," he said, folding his hands in his lap and looking into the distance. "But then you would have to understand that I would have to kill the entire school. Just to be safe. And you don't want that on your conscience, do you?" He smiled then, tightly and without humor. Of course he wasn't serious...not completely.

Tem smiled a little, still careful to look to the ground. "Theo... No need to kill innocent students... well students... it was a creature. A fire creature, probably..." She didn't know what else to say... She placed her hand on his and held it tight. She wanted to cry, and do it in his arms. But she contained herself best she could.

Theo's eyes narrowed in her direction. He could all but smell a lie and he couldn't even say he didn't care. It irked him to no end that she wasn't being honest with him, and he didn't know why. He didn't understand, and that might have been the biggest blow. "Tem," he began quietly, now looking into her eyes, "...just tell me what happened." Lie or not, he would listen to her. He would listen, and then he would track down whoever or whatever dared to hurt her and bring about their end in the most agonizing way he could imagine.

Tem leaned back on the pillow and looked at Theo. "It's not what you think... Theo please... I'll tell you..." She said resigning herself to the fact that he wouldn't believe her. "Sooner or later... just not now. I don't want you to fly off the handle. I can take care of myself. I can." She touched her burnt eye, "This is nothing. The mediwitch says I'll gain my sight back..." Somewhat... She was trying to make him understand she didn't need him to be her knight in shining armor. "This won't happen again." Tem told him.

Theo looked at her in awe, then laughed derisively. "This isn't a matter of pride, Tem. You got hurt. And I don't know why, but you're lying to me," he looked hurt for a moment as he said those words but covered it quickly, "and I don't know why. Just promise me, promise me, that you won't go anywhere alone again. How did you get back here, anyway?" he asked, considerably calmer. If she said creature.... Whether he believed her on that little detail or not, she had to have been outside. Maybe it really wasn' that bad. Maybe he was overreacting. But he didn't think so.

"Adrienne..." She said, "She helped me back here... I told her not to get you, that you'd worry too much. Which you are." Her hand held his and squeezed it. She leaned in wanting to kiss him, but was afraid he wouldn't, so she waited there to see if he's kiss her.

Theo made a mental note to have to thank Adrienne. He looked at Tem, in an attempted to be hidden adoring sort of way, and as she leaned in he closed the distance to kiss her. He broke away after a moment, running his hand along her cheek. "You know, I'm glad you're okay," he said in a moment of uncharacteristic caring. He stopped, his fingers barely brushing against her now-faint scar. His hand went back up to his own face, and then the face of Brann Gnister flashed through his mind. "It was him," he muttered quietly. His eyes became furious, but his face and voice held a forced calm. "It was Brann, wasn't it?" he asked, his voice dangerously low.

Tem savored the short kiss. The bliss it had given her was short lived. He said his name. Tem's eyes widened in shock. How could he have known... She turned her head away and knew she needed to lie, to tell him no... to protect him. But her own feelings of hatred for the boy who had scarred her and rendered her blind in one eye were creeping up. She said nothing and turned around in the bed to face away from Theo, and pulling up the covers up she said "Respect me when I say I'm not going to tell right now."

"Damn it, Tem," he hissed in frustration. He took a deep breath, making the effort of calming himself. "Fine...just. Fine," he muttered, but when she turned in the bed, away from him, his eyes flashed darkly. The effect was unsettling, and if he could have seen himself he would have been glad Tem didn't see that. In his mind he was already contriving a plan. He would stay with her until she was released or asleep, whichever came first. He would fireproof her knives and douse them in holy water whether she liked it or not, and he would do the same to his own. He would buy her a cross necklace. Gold, because of what silver did to him. Once again, whether she liked it or not, believed or not. He knew he didn't, but he still had to wonder why it worked so well to wield away vampires. "You can tell me when you like," he added softly, his voice barely audible.

Tem closed her eyes, and a tear escaped her eye. It stained her face as it ran down her cheek. "I love you Theo..." she said knowing things won't be the same until she told him. "Thank you." and as the rest of the day caught up with her, she fell asleep.

Jackson placed Sebastian into one of the empty beds, He grabbed the closest potion bottle filled with an antidote for the poison, He opened the boy's mouth and poured the bitter liquid down his throat, Sebastian didn't even stir. He would need to prepare some more potion, He glanced at the sleeping boy and looked around, What damage could happen to an unconsious body? With that he left to his office to make the necessary potion.

Adrienne watched the professor leave and rushed to Sebastian's side, pulling up a chair, and sitting in it. Her hand shook violently as she brushed his hair back, off his face. Angry tears sprung to her eyes, and she brushed them away furiously. "What the fuck did you do, Adams?" Beyond all doubt she knew it wasn't him, it was the vial of poison Porcelain had proffered to her, that his sister had done it, but it felt so much better to just blame him. "You can't do this to me, you fucking moron," she commanded, and even in context, the insult sounded like a term of endearment. "You've done enough. Come back to me. Come on. Just don't die," her voice broke and she pulled her hands away, standing up as she ran them through her hair.
She pulled a vase off of a side table and threw it against the wall, closing her eyes as it smashed. She did not bother to pick it up or repair the damage, she resumed her place and continued to run her fingers through his hair, her eyes searching his face for even the slightest change.

Sebastian's breathing became steady and most of the sweating stopped, His body slid into a more relaxed position, His head falling to one side of the pillow, A soft thud, His heart still not completely normal, It thudded in his chest, Which was rising up and down while he was in a semi-peaceful slumber.

Adrienne's cheeks were now tear stained, and she had given up trying to keep herself from crying. "I can't hate you if you die," she whispered. "Hell, I can't even hate you now."
She stood up, moving closer and perching on the side of the hospital bed. She straightened his rumpled shirt and placed her hand on his cheek. "I would do anything." She watched as his face relaxed, not knowing if it was good or bad. "I love you, you fuckwitted fool. And I know you love me back," she said, barely audible, as if trying to convince herself of the latter.

Sebastian stirred, Inside his mind he felt trapped in his own nightmares, Something he couldn't escape from, Until he found a way out, His eyes sunken in from the deep slumber, His rolled over unvoluntary, A small mutter escaping from his dry lips, "Adrienne.." Was the only thing right now he could think of, His dream involved her after all, Every aspect of it.
Her deep blue eyes, The way she smirked. He missed all of it, He needed her, To feel her once again. He was running, From what he was unsure of. His feet slapping against the metallic ground, Falling down and then stumbling to pick himself up, He would find a way out of this, And back to her.

Adrienne heard him say her name, but instantly thereafter she supposed it was just her mind playing cruel tricks on her. Just like it always did. She let her hand drop from his cheek. She leaned in to his ear, brushing her hair behind her own.
"You cannot die, because I never got to kill you for breaking my heart," she muttered darkly. "It just wouldn't be fair." She rested her hand on his shoulder then, because she had no idea what else to do with it, didn't want to just sit there staring at him.
Melanie had heard the gist of what had happened from students she ran into down the hall, and had made her entrance into the Hospital Wing, not all that surprised to see Adrienne there. "Well, Ms. Alste, how is he holding up?"
Adrienne subconsciously brushed her arm across her eyes before she turned around, making sure there were no stray tears, brushing away the tear stains. "He's alive. That's something, isn't it?" she asked, her eyes meeting the Professor's.
Melanie nodded, striding forward and peering at Sebastian Adams. "The medi-witch informed me that he was already given a serum. If he continues to get it at the correct intervals he should come out of it just fine." She paused, looking up at Adrienne, her gaze steady. "You wouldn't know anyone who would have poisoned him, would you?"
Adrienne's eyes flicked back to Sebastian's unconscious face, her head now turned away from the Professor. "No," she replied, lying because she could, because she did not know what else to do or who to protect, or what was right and what was wrong. And a part of her needed to talk to Porcelain, to make sure it was her, and she would rather hurt the traitorous 'friend' than hand her over to Smith.

One week later, There was a jerk in his body, something that told him he should get up. His throat making a dry cough. Heavy eyelids fluttering open for the first time in awhile, "W-where am I?" Sebastian spoke in a dry voice, he was unsure of where he was at, or for that matter who he was. He noticed a dark haired girl beside him, she was pretty and had gorgeous eyes, "Who are you?" He asked in a nervous voice, Scooting back to cover himself. Here he was in a hospital bed while a very pretty girl was next to him, the horror. "And who am I?"

Adrienne raised an eyebrow. Sitting upright and instantly wondering how she looked. She had been there since this morning, only leaving to shower and eat something, after much influence from the medi-witch. They didn't need two comatose students, she'd said.
Was he pulling her leg? "Are you serious?" she began, half incredulously, then came back to her senses, standing up and straightening out her attire. "I'm no one. Just wanted to see if you were alright...you were poisoned. Well, if that's all," she continued, somewhat nervous now, and it wasn't lying that was the problem, but the unpredictable situation, "maybe I'll just go." She began backing up, motioning to the door behind her.

Sebastian blinked, "Why so scatterbrained?" His black eyes staring at her for was seemed forever, "You're beautiful, Would you find it the least bit offensive if I asked you out?"
