" What limo?" Kristian asked, rubbing his chest before shooting a glare at the door. " Got half a mind to put on my other self and go back out there and let them try that again..."

'maybe it was nothing .. but a limo pulled up with a big black cuburban behind it .. and someone came into the building ...
'you what scares me? .. if i had stayed up there a bit longer, i would have walked right into them .. .. amn am i glad the door closed .. its nice to have a door do that on its own ... ins't it? ... lets not do anything .. k?
'i dont want to have to call 911 in a panic .. cause i can't think. oh jeez that sounds really bad .. well you could ask if they want some cookies?' *its obvious the up close violence is something new to her, as is the feeling of uselessness about what to do.

" Breath, would you?" Kristian tried not to chuckle. " Things about what you just suggested. They attacked me and you want to give them cookies?" He forced down a snicker and relaxed a bit. " Now, anything else about that limo?"

*looks stunned as he finishes .., but is breathing now. 'mom .. sorry. i couldn't think and i blurted out what mom would have done. she told me to sit down and have some cookies when things got really bad or scary. sorry, it does sound lame .. ' *sighs and then starts to nibble on the lower lip as the eyes stare at the door.
'the door will hold, right? .. besides .. if you went out now, they'd just give you a beating a lot worse than before. wouldn't they?' *then glancing at Kristian's face again gets a sheepish look*
'i'm still doing it .. right? this is a first time for something like this happening .. and the limo .. uhh ... big and black ... and really long .. thats about it. just that someone carried something into the building. i thought they gave it to you, cause you didn't have the mail when i left. jeez, now i'm really sounding ditzy ... '
'you're sure you are alright? i really hope i don't have to watch that again .. oh no, now i sound like a wimp too ... ' *blinks a couple of times and then starts to sputter with giggles as the stress finally escapes the body.

" I'm fine, the door will hold, and if it won't, then I'll introduce them to Fragment." Kristian smirked. and I usually get my mail from the box downstairs, not from a limo delivery service. I just asked because I've never seen a limo down here before, they usually stay out of this neighborhood."
The hallway noise dulls down and eventually it's quiet again. " guess they were scared I'd come back out. Can't beleive you never saw a little scrap like that before in the circus. "

*cringes a bit at her seeming weakness. then looks out the window for the limo but assumes that its gone by now. 'i don't remember much about the limo .. but .. the suburban behind it? .. *thinks for a moment* 'i think it had dark windows ... '
*looks back and then gives a shakey grin. 'i never saw that kind of stuff before. seen bubba go after his trainer .. seen people stepped on, run over and kicked by various animals .. others falling and bouncing off the safety net .. but never a .. what the heck did he hit you with? .. that sorta looked like .. .. well .. lightning' *then looks at the door* 'think its safe to go look in the hallway now? .. whatever was going on, someone might need help'
*the innocent sheltered child seems to show briefly, as the concern for possible injuries on someone else shows

"Well, maybe we've got a drug dealer somewheres in the building and he was getting his stash dropped off. I'm not gonna worry about it." Kristian replied." Not sure what he hit me with, some sort of energy blast he shot out his fingertips. I can do something similar with light and electricity."
He shrugged. " You can look, but I think they've gone."
Her itching is fading.

*looks at her hand and then looks up 'yeah .. they're ALL gone .. whoever is a meta in the building i mean. other than you that is .. the feelings dying down .. so i think i better get used to trying to shut it off ... '
*then moves to the door and opens it up a crack and peers out, before opening it wider .. seems to sigh and then looks back* 'yeah they're gone for now' *then closes the door*

" I can tell you why you're feeling is dying out." Kristian replied, motioning out the window at a pack of twenty or so crossing the street and heading away from the building. most of them were dressed in a similar fashion of jeans and leathers. Kristian sputtered. " Just great, not only was I wrong about these kids, I find out they're gangbangers from the looks of things.

*then looks guilty for saying that* 'or not ... now where was i? .. uhh .. oh right .. the photo album. are you sure you want to see it? .. it seems so .. plain after what just happened' *then looks at Kristain and smiles, the shock of the upclose violence now worn off*

" Motel? Are you kidding? Those places are dumps." Kristian repleid. " Yeah, your album sounds good, but if thats too boring," he motioned out the window," we could go for a walk."

'go for a walk? .. now? .. with them downstairs? .. i'll get the photo album' *and vanishes in a flash into the spare room and her voice is heard 'oh dangit .. where is it? .. aha .. oh wrong book. thats the diary'
*emerges after about 5 minutes, the sweater is missing and the scarf is still about hte neck, hiding the scales that speckle the skin not covered by the shirt
'here we are .. now .. *hands him the small 40 picture album* 'you look and then ask .. '

Kristian took the book and started leafing through it, looking at the photos. " Looks like you had alot of fun. So were you the only one like us there, or were there others?" He glanced at the scarf and motioned towards it. " You don't have them while your here, unless you want to."

'uhh .. i was the only one . i think it was that train wreck years ago. thats the best any of us can think of what may have happened. some train went of the tracks out west .. we were sidelined for the cleanup crews. and some of us kids were playing ... i just saw pretty water .. and kinda got wet to about he neck. ahh that's Bubba .. the tiger. he was mauling his old handler. the guy was drunk or something. and thats the day bubba tried to bite me and i thought it was funny. he couldn't .. and when he tried to shove me about? .. i pushed back. we were like .. *shrugs* 2 kids that just found a best friend'
*looks up and grins 'i miss him tho. he and the other animals didn't make it from that fire ... ' *shakes the head and looks away 'thats when we stopped being a touring road show circus for small towns .. to becoming 'normal citizens' '

" Sounds rough, sorry about you losing your way of life, but everything happens for a reason."
There was the sound of screeching tires outside, and then Sierra's itching returned as they heard another scuffle in the hallway.
