Jeda sighed and let Thomas run off once again. Seeing Sawyer with a bloodied up lip, she laughed a little. "You wanted to get in on the fight huh?" She sighed and gently pried his teeth from his lower lip and wiped the blood away. She muttered something under her breath and returned to normal. She then shrieked in surprise and ran into the Sea Cobra then ran back out. She was clasping the locket and sighing in relief.
"You want to see my mum and dad? They certainly want to see you Sawyer." She smiled and handed him the locket. She then realised that she'd snapped it shut. "Here, let me get it open, I've got nails." She was then shoved roughly towards Sawyer.
"Stop ditherin' around ya silleh love biiirds." A drunk man teased and she twisted her body so that she'd hit the ground and not crash into Sawyer.

Olivia Benson

She laughed a little as Jeda came back fr the locket and rushed back out again.
"Strange girl that one. Pretty like a butterfly, but stings like a bee." She said to Coban and Nick, they both nodded, trying to look serious but eventually boke into fits of laughter.
"But the stranger two are in here." Benson teased and picked Leo up, dumping him in her bag.

Coban

"You know that boy that we met in the alleyway? He's after Jeda. But no matter, it'll all be over in...3.....2......1. Now!" She smiled and tousled Parker's hair gently. 'Don't worry about it Parker. There's a lot of people in this world like Jeda...just a bit worse off.' She thought and smiled at Nick, who was staring at her knowingly.

Nick

Nick sighed and kissed Taylor on the cheek as a reward.
"The woman and the man were Jed's parents. We weren't that cute. Jeda had a nasty habit of throwing mud at Jack, who threw it at me, I threw it at Coban and Coban threw it back to all of us." She said gently and snuggled up closer to her boyfriend. A crack of sound was heard as Thomas was released from his place in the wall.
"If I was her, I'd have killed him on the spot. She's too kind to walk the path in life that she's been given. Jeda would probably flip if she knew I was asking this...but her Parker. You reckon that Sawyer likes Jeda?" She asked and became really attentive all of a sudden.

Jack

"Meh, at least Jeda always tried her hardest to keep up in school huh? I thougth that she wouldn't enroll this year. She missed last year though." He said loud enough for the whole group to hear. Coban and Nick looked at each other before nodding once and they taped his mouth shut. Nick held him still while Coban whispered for him to shut his yapper and let them figure it out on their own.

Jeda took the hand held out to her and got up, almost pulling him down with her. She grinned too and blew gently onto his face.
"Here." she took the locket from him and examined the front.
(but in the middle there's an emerald where there's no pattern.)

(pretty...ooh...lol!)

She smiled geltly and put it in her hand, showing him the contense of the locket.

Coban

Coban and Nick looked at each other then purposely shrugged. No way in hell that they would tell them the truth.
"What makes you think we're gonna tell you? We made a pact. No selfrespecting person breaks a pact! We're luck she even wants to talk to us! Oops..." Coban said, slightly irritated until she let a kitten out of the bag.
"Maybe this'll help clear it up." Benson said and played a video on her flip phone.

The reporter and cameraman were striding towards a younger, more bloodied up and cold mannered Jeda. She heard them approaching and she drew the towel closer around her shoulders. It was pouring down rain and the girl was shivering in silence. "Diana! Diana Donias! What can you tell us about what happened?" The reporter questioned, almost shoving the microphone up Jeda's nose. "It's Jeda. And as for the incident inside the house...that is neither your concern nor something I want to talk about. You only want me to talk because it will give you a fat pay check. the world would be a better place without selfish people like you." Jeda's voice could have frozen the entire Pacific Ocean and she walked over to the policeman, taking the end of a pointed skewer and pulling the circled end through her shoulder, ignoring the pain and dropping the red stained metal skewer in his hand. The reporter pounced on Jeda once more. "Are you sure there is nothing you can tell us? What did he do to you?" The reporter badgered and Jeda threw back her head, the cut had dried blood caked on it. She then showed them her shoulder, both front and back views. "Anything else? Oh...you really need to know that 'no' really does mean no." Her frosty glare peirced through the reporter and she glared at the cameraman too. Her pale face had a strange alluring quality. Her pale green-gold eyes, her red-blonde hair with the black tips, her locket around her neck shining a silvery teal. The cameraman then stopped taping. "Benson, let's go home." Jeda said, but hadn't realised Benson was taping anything.

~*Cut to next part of video*~

(but with a tiny bit of blonde mixed in and black ends to her hair. The hair is longer too, down to just below her shoulders. Her eyes are green-gold too.)

A little girl sat huddled underneath a seat at a bus stop. The shelter did little to save her from shivering in her soaked clothes. Her red-gold hair shook with her body. The girl looked to be about eight, her skin ghostly pale and her lips on the verge of being blue. She then got up, her hair falling to just past her shoulders. The girl gathered her black long coat around her and walked across the deserted street. A police station came into view and the phone camera followed her inside. She walked right up to the front desk. The camerawoman slipped behind the counter and watched as a pale, wet and cold hand reached up and touched the bell. The ringing was soft but the receptionist looked up and looked at the empty air in front of the desk. The girl's hand came up and rang the bell again. The receptionist stood up and leaned over the counter.
"What is it honey? You lost your momma and daddy?" She asked kindly.
"No. I wish to report two murders in my house. It is my parents Miss Kind Lady. They aren't bleedin' or breathin' no more. I didn't feel safe so I slept in the bus stop across the street." The girl said, piercing the receptionist with an icy green-gold stare.
"Are you feeling alright hun?" She asked and the camera woman followed the receptionist out from behind the table.
"I am feeling perfectly calm...you don't believe me do you? But Miss Benson does." The girl pointed to the person behind the camera phone.
"Yes, indeed I do believe you. You're Jeda Donias aren't you? The daughter of the couple that own the antique store in the outskirts of town." Benson answered and the little girl put up her finger.
"The correct term was owned Officer Benson. Please follow me." Jeda directed and zipped up her black long coat, getting ready to go outside. She walked emotionlessly out into the rain and the rest of the clip to Jeda's house was blocked off.
"Look away now Parker and Taylor." Coban advised.
The scene at the house was gruesome.(IF YOU ARE NOT OVER 12, DO NOT READ NEXT PART.) Two adults lay side by side in pools of their own blood and their partner's red liquid. Their eyes were open and glassy, they were holding each other's hands in death. Benson lightly touched the father's body.
"Stone cold." Then she touched the mother's body.
"Still warm, she only just died." Benson muttered into the camera phone.

The girl giggled softly and looked at her mother's beautiful face.
"You're lying mamma, you say you can hear the angels singin' to you like I do. You're lyin'...right papa? Mamma, papa's not sayin' nothing. Mamma? Mamma? Bye Bye mamma. See you later huh?" The little girl used her sleeve to close her parent's eyes and stepped back.
"You okay Jeda?" Benson asked.
"So this is what happens when you love huh? They just die. I wanna find a special someone that mamma told me about. That special person who understands you no matter what. I wanna grow up to be strong, independant and with no one that I love. That way...when they die, I won't feel like salt water is falling from my eyes. Mamma said they were tears, but I've never cried 'em. Mamma says I'm her little angel. But mamma says angels have to die first, I'm no angel." Jeda said and stared hard at the dead bodies, comiting the image to her memory.
"You know, you're alright kid. I could get used to you. You wanna move to a small town named Pakerwil? We'll move there when you're 12 1/2 'kay?"
"I'd like that. I would prefer if this case was made with out my witnessing. I watched it all. Mamma was forced upon by a man. Daddy ran to help her, daddy was frightened when another man slipped a blue and white nylon rope around his neck, like a dog collar. He dragged daddy away from mama and he was strugglin' to breathe. I just hid in the litle storage space underneath the stairs over there. *indicated with a pointed finger at the stairs and the door to the storage space underneath* I was watchin' through the grill in the door. *indicated again to the brass grill over at least half of the door, nothing could be seen through it from the outside* They did the same dog collar to mamma then drew a knife across both of their throats. The two men then left. As soon as I heard the car roll out of the driveway I came out and looked at what they had done to mamma and daddy. Daddy was just breathing when I came out and he said he could see an angel calling him to heaven. He said goodbye and the light left his eyes and he wouldn't talk or nothin'. Mamma said to go get help and I nodded. I was too afraid at that time, so I slept a little in the bus stop just across the road from the police station. Then I realised I had to get help and get off my arse and do something. The rest is what you just saw." Jeda said and walked out the door, after taking a last look at her parents before remembering something. A few minutes later the came back with at least six bags. She finished by putting the locket around her neck.
"Are you sure you want to leave?" Benson asked.
"Why would I stay if there is nothing here for me but death, pain and no family to come through the door to when I come home from school." She said emotionlessly and waited for Benson to leave before her. She shut the door and walked away for the last time down that driveway.
"Was that a statement or question?"
"Both I guess. Ask me when I'm better, 'kay?" Jeda turned to Benson with eyes as hard as ice.

"That's why she isn't sure about whether she should shut you all out...or let you all in. She's had those defences up for so long, by the time we met up with her again..she'd only just been an emotionless rock. You could get a clump of stone to talk more than she would." Coban said as Jeda came back in.
"You told them didn't you? Hah, I knew I'd have to tell them eventually. But it as my story to tell! My path that I walked on." Her eyes and vioce were colder than a snowman coated in ice. She glared at Nick and Coban. She grabbed the phone from Benson's hand and shut it firmly.
"That information was on a need to know basis. And all of you did not need to know." She watched them all warily and then shoved the phone in her pocket, walking off to the bar, ordering a water and leaving again.

Nick

Nick was startled at how cold Jeda had turned but then watched as she bought the water and left.
"Sh*t!!! I thought this might happen. Why couldn't you leave well enough alone Coban! They needed to be told by her! Not us...deffinately not us." Nick suddenly walked out after her and grabbed Sawyer by the sleeve of his jacket (if he has one on) and dragged him along with her.
"Sorry for draggin'you with me, but the rest of the group found out about the whole parents thing. You don't mind coming along?" She said and transformed too.

(No knife, brown-gold eyes. the green coloured items of clothing are actually orange-yellow.)

"Let's go catch us a Jeda Donias. You'd better keep up, but I'll carry you...just this once." She said and picked him up, piggyback style.
"Up, up...and away." Nick said as she leapt up onto a lamp post then a roof top.

Jack

"I have no intention of going after her. Nick and Sawyer can do that on their own. Nick's great at hunting people down. She makes excelent traps too. You'd all better stay here. 'Specially you Taylor." He said and lounged on a seat another kid had just vacated.

Jeda grinned and hid her smile as she suspected she was being followed. Her small laugh rang out, she was about a block and a half away from the Sea Cobra. Her hands were stuffed deep in the pockets of her coat and she then ducked into an alleyway. Jeda heard a rustling sound and grinned, Nick and Sawyer were here.
"Hey you guys, when'd you both decide to join me?" She called out and smiled gently as Nick jumped down from the rooftop opposite her. Jeda waited till Sawyer was let go till she took a swig of the water and swallowed, eyeing Nick. Her hand tossed the bottle up in the air and she caught it gently and passed it to Nick. She put her hands on her hips and then walked calmly to Sawyer. Nick knew what was coming and turned around, blocking her ears.
"Happy Saint Patrick's Day Sawyer." With that she pressed her lips to his and watched his face with her green eyes. She then released her gentle grip on his raven and blood coloured locks. Her lips came away from his and she laughed gently.
"Don't tell anyone...who has to know?" Jeda whispered and backed away from him, turned around and walked around the corner, in the direction of the Sea Cobra.
"You guys coming or not? We have a day to celebrate...or is it midnight already?" She laughed and waited for them around the corner.

Olivia Benson

"I'd better be going soon. My shift at the station tonight." Benson said and a cute ferret scampered onto the table.
"Hello Benson...Why'd you call me here?" The ferret looked at Benson with black eyes.



"Everyone...this is Wren. Yes, she is a ferret. They come with a name...we don't name them." Benson introduced and Wren sniggered before approaching a boy with strange looking hair.
"Boy with the blue hair...is it real? In all my years, I've never seen someone with blue hair!" Wren said and then jumped speedily into Benson's handbag.

Coban

Coban gently slung her arm around Parker's shoulders.
"I'm glad you're not desensitised to blood and gore. Not many people are like that any more. You're a special type of person...sensitive." She whispered in his ear and tousled his hair gently. Her chocolate brown eyes went to the door as it came open and Jeda flew at her, hugging her gently.
"Come on...we have one more song to play. Nick singing this time, as a boy." Jeda smirked and drew Coban up from the seat. Nick was walking in the direction of the girl's room, a backpack in her hand.
"I guess you'd better listen, sorry if you have to listen to Jack's harmonising." Coban laughed and ducked, dodging a flick on the head from the brown haired boy.

Nick

She changed speedily and made herself look like this:

(But with golden brown eyes.)

"Gosh, okay...now to make my appearance!" She said to herself and walked out of the bathroom. She dropped the bag onto Taylor's lap and adjusted the voice modifier (V.M. for short) to the right voice and walked onto the stage.
"Jeda, Coban...give me an intro. Jack be ready." Nick said and did a two fingered salute to the crowd.

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you`ll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know

When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
find out games you don't wanna play
you are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And now I try to lie
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret


Who has to know?
Who has to know?"
(Underline & bold is Jeda, Coban and Jack doing harmony. Bold is Jack.)

The song ended and they hopped off the stage. Girls were cheering and handing Jack and Nick their phone numbers, Nick just sighed and handed them all to Jack. Jack commented on how fast the girls had to play to keep up with him. He earned a cuff over the head from both Jeda, Coban and three from Nick.
"So...anything you want to tell them about you and Sawyer, Jed?" Nick whispered in Coban's ear and she looked at Jeda happily.
"Aww! Jedakins is growing up!" Coban said and rubbed her cheek along Jeda's shoulder in a funny little anime scene. Jeda got several little 'irk marks' on the back of her head and then swaet dropped.
"Maybe we could talk about this...like I dunno, when there aren't so many of Sawyer's friends around?" Jeda sighed and whispered in Coban's ear and Coban tousled her friend's hair.
"At least you gave him a present for Saint Patrick's Day." She said and Jeda grinned.

Jack

Jack sighed and shoved the phone numbers into the recycling bin.
"No sense in poluting our planet if it's only girl's phone numbers." He sat back down and stared into space absently.

Jeda laughed a little and then stopped.
"That reminds me! Sawyer, you owe me for Valentines day and Saint Patricks Day! I'm here to collect!" She teased and pulled a face at him. But Nick smirked and then looked at Jeda.
"You also had to give him his Valentines day gift in front of the whole band, and his Saint Patrick's day gift in front of me. Don't you think that's a little unfair? To make it even, he has to give you his gifts in front of all of us." Nick laughed at Jeda's expression as it turned from teasing to serious.
"But he might not be able to do that...." Jeda said and looked him in the eyes. She then began to feel light headed. A man was smoking impecably close to them. She concentrated and singled out the cigarette, suddenly it burst into flames and he had to drop it and stomp on it.

Coban

Coban laughed as Nick and Jeda were discussing the whole reciprocation of gifts thing. She looked at Parker and sighed gently.
"Why don't we let Sawyer decide? He's right there you know!" Coban pointed out and the two other girls looked at each other and nodded.

Nick

She was glomped by Taylor and pecked on the lips. Before she hugged him back and disentangled herself from the over excited boy.
"What was that all about? Are you jealous that i get all this attention? Or is it coz I am a cuter boy?" She teased and nuzzled his neck.

Jack

Jack gagged as his sister snuggled up with her boyfriend.
"Get a room Nick!" He groaned.
"We have, you just happen to be in it!" She retorted and poked out her tongue.
"Well find another one!" He growled and flicked her ear.

Jeda kissed back but suddenly drew back as she felt her arm somewhere it wasn't supposed to be.
"Give me one second, I need some air. Coban, time to get your brain working!" Jeda said and showed Coban her dislocated shoulder.
"Sh*t! How'd that happen?! Oh...one guess." Coban gasped and the area started to bruise quickly. Nick growled and popped the arm back in before looking around the bar.
"There's something in the skewer wound." Jeda said helpfully and bit her lip as Nick reached in and pulled it out.
"Thomas has gone too far this time." She looked at the little arrowhead of glass and back at the entry wound.
"Coban the entry point is circular, yet the object is an arrowhead. It must have changed shape the second after it went through the skin." Nick observed and Jeda smirked, the wound disappearing as they chattered.
"I told you guys that I heal fast. I reckon we get rid of him once and for all. Coban, Nick...you got your rollerblades?" At their answering nods, Jeda smirked.
"When were you going to bring our butterfly back?" Coban grinned.

Coban

Jeda smiled and nodded.
"You guys have got to see Jeda rollerblade. Lets go ButterflyBladers!" Coban cheered and grabbed her socks, weapons belt and rollerblades.
"Blue Butterfly ready for take off." Jeda grinned and looked at Coban with her light blue and black rollerblades on.
"Black Butterfly ready to soar." Nick smirked and rose an eyebrow.
"Green Butterfly ready to go. You boys coming to watch the show or not?" Coban rolled her eyes and went outside. The other two followed and Jedaa plugged in her MP3 to Nick's speakers. Nick had figured out how to make her speakers twice as loud with some 'modifications'.

Nick

Nick smirked and noticed that Jeda had started it from a silent bit. The three of them knew this song very well. Jeda joined Coban and Nick in the middle of the deserted street. (Appart from a couple of parked cars.)
"You set the traps yet?" Jeda whispered and Nick nodded.
"Three in the alleyways, four under each of the cars and one steel thread maze." Nick counted out loud and the song started. They split as glass rained down on them.
"Missed us! You have really bad aim Thomas!" Jeda teased and got rained down on in reply. She jumped onto the first trap car and noticed a steel thread twitch. Jeda grinned and started pulling on the thread. Thomas came running at her. Jeda's smile vanished and she pulled so hard that the thread wrapped willingy around her finger, itching to do her biding.

Nick pulled another thread and Coban shoved shoved her elbow into the catch.
"Black." Nick called to the others.
"Green." Coban called.
"BLUE!" Jeda said and Coban released the kunai. The other two pulled and the steel threads drew the kunai straight to Nick. She caught it and took a pouch of black powder, tossing the pouch at Thomas. It exploded on impact ans she tossed the kunai to Jeda, who threw a bneon blue powder pouch at him. Coban threw hers and Thomas looked in wonder.
"The powder will eventually poison your blood then leave no trace...if you comply with our demands we will give you the antidote." Nick grinned and held up a vial with gold liquid rolling around in it.
"What demands you little nuisance?" The blonde boy then smirked as Jeda pulled her steel thread closer to her body.
"You turn yourself in and resist coming back to Pakerwil." Nick said her grip tightening on the vial.
"Never! She has to pay for what she did to me! Her 'mother' locked me in a small, dark and cramped cell!" He yelled and Nick sighed, pocketing the vial and hosing him down.

"Idiot. It was just food colouring mixed with itching powder. But I would not suggest tampering with the zillions of glass shards underneath the cars." Nick said and he tried to gather up the shards, only to have a steel thread net swoop underneath him and hoist him into the air.
"She did warn you. Sometimes I think that all boys are smarter than this one. He acts like entertainment for a zoo!" Coban sighed and they all tied their steel thread ends to the light post that Thomas's net was secured to.

Sawyer Larson



Taylor Miles



OOC: Sorry I haven't replied in forever. I had to gather up my muse again xP

Jeda shook her head at Taylor's question.
"Then he'd come back to try to kill me with much more determination. Oh well, besides that would spoil our day...dragging him by the scruff of his neck to the police station. That reminds me, that girl...the one that almost wrapped her car around a pole and had you in the car too. You were drinking alchohol...weren't you Sawyer?" Jeda felt her head lower and her hair shadowed her green eyes. Her skates moved back and she listened to the voice in her head.
'What? Did you expect Sawyer to be perfect? Okay...skate, skate out all of the frustration and hurt.' She thought to herself and Jeda felt the wind on her face. Her wheels sped faster and she spread her arms like they were wings. Jed growled low in her throat as her eyes remained closed. She didn't sense the stone that got lodged in her wheel. Jeda went arm first onto the road and she got up. She looked at the stone once before picking it up and throwing it high into the air, it hit the lamp post half a block away and the lamp post fell over. She flipped backwards and regained her balance flawlessly. Her nails dug cruelly into the graze that went from her wrist to her elbow on her left arm. She had put her arms behind her, blatanly ignoring the blood slowly oozing down to her palm.

Coban

Coban backed away as Jeda began to skate, avoiding the obviously angry and deep in thought girl. Her eyes watched as Jed fell over and then began skating again, digging her nails into the fresh wound. Coban looked over at Thomas and saw the pained expression he wore. She rollerbladed over to him and stood right beside the net.
"What's got your boxers in a twist?" She asked, not looking at him so not to draw attention to herself.
"Even after I almost kill her, each time a part of me...it dies inside. It hurts me to see her so angry because of that black haired boy. It hurts me to see that she digs her nails into her wounds and she ignores the pain. I hate it. And I hate him for making her like this. She's moved on. Damn. But I think I might change my plans. My new goal...is to fight for her love." He replied and Coban sighed.
"Good luck, coz Sawyer doesn't look like he's going to stop falling in love with her any time soon." Coban said before skating back to Nick, Taylor and Sawyer.
"You have competition to win fair maiden Jeda's heart now Sawyer. Thomas has changed his mind...he no longer wants to kill her, but to love her instead." Coban whispered in the wolf-boy's ear. Her milk chocolate gaze went to Thomas as he looked at Jeda longingly through his net.

Nick

Nick flicked Taylor over the head and kissed his cheek. She then quickly slid a glance over to Thomas and swore in an unlady-like manner.
"Sh*t! He's gonna try and make her love him now. Drat, I was hoping that he'd just surrender and fade into the shadows." She nudged her boyfriend and pointed to the expressions rolling across the glass weilding boy. Pain, hurt, realisation, acceptance, descision and lastly...determination.

ooc: oooooh! -brings out banner that reads: 'PLOT COMPLICATION!!!'- I wonder how this will affect Sawyer's chances? Oh well, my muse is shot too. Hmm...did I make Thomas's speech warm and cute? -scrolls up- Yep!

Jeda pricked her keen ears and shot a stream of fire to cut Thomas down. The fire then grew and created a wall between Thomas and them. She heard Thomas running away and she dispersed the fire.
"It's not worth it, besides unlike you, he was separated from his parent when he was moved here. His mother hated the sight of him and he enjoyed being couped up in his room, away from her. When I used to walk home, I always passed his house. I remember my first thought when he talked to me: 'wow, this boy is so kind...but he looked so sad when he was looking out the window.' We got talking and I noticed that he always smiled when he saw me. He was the first person other than Benson and my parents to accept me unconditionally. But now I think its time to bring attention to more people who have accepted me unconditionally. All. Of. You." She threw up her head and smiled gently before offering her hand to Sawyer. Her green eyes met his and she growled mischeviously before hugging him tightly.

"You can smoke when I'm not around, but change clothes before you come any where near me. I can smell it a mile off. Same with the drinking, but don't let Benson catch you. " She kissed him on the cheek and loosened her hug enough for him to breathe. She then noticed the scrape on her arm.
"How the heck did I not notice that?! It's HUGE!" She gasped in astonishment then rose an eyebrow at Coban and Nick.
"Okay...what'd I miss? What happened to make you look at me like I have two heads?" She crossed her arms awkwardly with the graze and looked at everyone else.

Coban Newman

Coban was brought back to reality when Jeda looked at her expectantly.
"Thomas wants to try and win you back." Coban answered, and Nick elbowed her in the ribs for it. Jeda got up from Sawyer's lap and ran a hand down her dress before undoing her hair and shaking her head. The crimson and gold locks fell to just below her shoulder blades, the ebony tips strikingly contrast to everything else.
"Let him try...I am sure of who I want to love. YOU HEAR THAT Thom? I'M NOT THAT STUPID THIS TIME!" Jeda lifted her head and looked up to the sky, Colorado coasted on the wind and Jeda put on her white gloves. The hawk swooped down and landed on her hand, she ran a hand through his feathers and smiled gently.

"I can't believe that she's completely healed from Thomas. She's too brave for her own good." Coban whispered to Nick, who laughed genuinely.
"But that's what we love about her. Hey you guys, wanna see us really rollerblade?" Nick grinned and seized one of Coban's hands before gripping Jeda's free hand in her own. The girls skated backwards and Jeda encouraged Colorado to fly up into the sky. The three of them smiled and bowed from the waist up. A grinning Nick grabbed a small pebble and skated off with it. Coban sighed and pretended not to notice.

Nick/Jaquelline

The pebble lay in white glory on her palm, before she crushed it in her hand and scattered the dust to the wind. Coban made the wind pick up and the glittering particles swirled around them. Jeda pulled out a kunai and rushed at Coban without warning. Coban skated backwards and cheekily evaded the fire powered girl. Nick threw a shuriken at the wind sorceress. Coban slowed the flying piece of metal and looked at Jeda before she nodded.
"GET 'ER! TAKE NO PRISONERS! EXCEPT CUTE ONES! CHARGE!" Coban and Jeda chorused and skated swiftly towards Nick, who shrieked with laughter and evaded them.
"You'll never take me alive! AHH! Somebody do something, I'm being chased by the butterfly hooligans! I must prepare to defend myself!" Nick declared in return and the assailants looked at each other once before skating away and shrieking dramatically in laughter at the hilarity of it all. They were screaming down the deserted street at each other...for no reason!
Jeda suddenly tripped backwards and she never hit the ground.

Jack

Nick's older brother came out of the Sea Cobra and sat on the sidewalk to watch the show. But pretty soon after it started, Jeda fell backwards.

Thomas

Thomas watched as Jeda defended him, but dared him to try and recapture her heart. He sighed gently as she skated around, but managed to catch her before she fell backwards. Thomas pulled her up gently by her uninjured arm. His blue eyes held her green ones captive before Jeda cleared her throat and he let go of her slowly. His blonde hair flopped into his eyes but he rose an eyebrow at the group of boys sitting on the pavement.
"So these are your new friends, huh? So which one is my competition for your fair heart?" He casually strung an arm around her shoulders and focussed his blue eyes on Sawyer. She shrugged out from under his arm and whirled on him in sudden fury.
"Oh no, here we go!" Thomas prepared himself for the onslaught of words but she shoved her hands on her hips and he held out his hand. She turned away from his hand and grabbed her jacket from her back pack.
"I am not something you should fight over, that would destroy both of your souls and rip out my heart. I hated it when you always prepared yourself for a long winded speech and never listened to a word of it. It is too late Thomas, I'm sorry but you've gone too far. No more chances." Her quiet voice felt like a knife being shoved into his gut and he swallowed thickly.

"So you're going to turn me away and give comfort to a boy that is neither animal nor human. He's-" Thomas was interrupted by Jeda's next words.
"Why are you such a child?! You were always jealous, so much that the male population at our old school avoided me completely! If you are so confident that I don't love Sawyer, then prove it! But you can't prove it...you know why? Because you no longer know me. I am much stronger now than I was back then. If you try to hurt any of these people in Pakerwil...I Will. Hunt. You. Down." Jeda hissed furiously and grabbed a handful of his striped shirt, twisting it and was almost about to tear it when Thomas grinned and gently touched his fingers to her cheek.
"Beautiful as always, my dear. But you really have to harness that temper you know." As she recoiled from his touch, she released his shirt. He saluted Sawyer with two fingers and winked.
"See ya later, Sawyer..." Thomas smiled coldly before gathering up glass shards and stepping onto the platform they made. He soon disappeared, but not before Nick stuck her rude finger up at him and Coban poked her tongue out at him.
