Pheobe woke up a few minutes later her head ached, but the malicious emotions she had felt earlier were gone. She had to know what she was feeling, so she had gone to the game center. What she found was a gelatinous blob, it had swallowed her before she even had a chance to run. What was that feeling? A warm light, something familier, something she had done before. Destruction...death?
Pheobe shook her head, slowly sitting up. Everyone else was still out cold, nobody had arrived yet. Weakly she rose to her feet, steadying herself on one of the game consoles. She had to get out of here before she was asked to explain some monster she had never even heard of before today.
==================================
"They all just disapeared?"
Rei nodded to Artemis. "It's like they didn't care about earth anymore."
Makoto sighed, leaning against the desk. "It all seems so random. Why attack then retreat for no reason? They didn't even seem to be searching for something."
Luna nodded. "Whoever this new enemy is it's likely to return, We've finished analizing the sample ami collected."
Rei nodded. "And?"
Artemis continued. "It's the same substance Berl's youma's were created from."
"Beryl?" Questioned Minako. "but Usagi defeated her."
Luna nodded. "We considered that too. and there are some differences in the composition. But regardless, the two are remarkably similar."
=======================
"You seem tired."
Pheobe looked at the girl and nodded, she was curious. "I'm afraid I don't know your name."
The aqua haired girl smiled. "It's Ami, not many people like taking chemisty."
"My father insisted I try it before I pass judgement."
The instructor closed the door. "I hope your all ready for our lab? Turn your attention to the burners in front of you."
"May I?"
Pheobe nodded, allowing Ami to turn the knob and produce the flame.
"I assume you've already met Usagi, she..." Ami didn't get to finish as she turned her gaze at Pheobe. The girl was frozen in place, her eyes windows of fear as she stared at the flame.
The instructor caught the same look in the violot haired girls eyes and he began to become concerned. "Miss Mahou?"
Pheobe couldn't move, no matter how hard she tried she couldn't bring herself to look away from the devistating blaze. She couldn't understand why she was frozen in place, her mouth moved to scream but she couldn't make it out, all she could see was her mother, screaming for help, her fear, knowing that today she was going to die. Others screaming, desperate to get out but unable to do so, the flame had them trapped. Slowly she found her feet as she began to move back from the flames.
Ami stared wide eyes at Pheobe, there was no ignoring the raw emotion of fear in her eyes. After a few moments she had managed to pull herself from that frozen spot and move backwards, bumping into the table behind her. Students shrieked, jumping back as the burner and beakers shattered to the floor.
She could hear it now, people screaming, the windows shattered as people tried to jump, but the fire engulfed them the minute they tried, burning them to cinders.
No, this couldn't be happening! Everyone would die if she didn't do something! But it was too overwhelming, her head began to spin until finally everything went black.
Ami was closest and her hands reacted on instinct, catching the girl as she blacked out. Briefly she caught the faint glimber of a magenta symbol on her forhead. No, it couldn't be. She looked again, hoping to catch the same glow, but it was gone. Had she just imagined it?
==========================================
King Damien's eyes widened and he quickly looked down to earth, zooming in on the location. "There you are again. Did you finally decide to wake up guardian?"
He peered more closely, examining the building which had emited the signal. "Juuban. Could you be a student?"
===========================================
Her senses began to tingle as she felt a sense of worry swarm around her, but it was so strong? Who would worry about her so much? Slowly she began to open her eyes, staring into the blue eyes of Ami Mizuno. "Your awake."
Pheobe moaned. "What happened?"
"You blacked out. Do you remember what happened?"
"There was a lot of fire."
Ami frowned, concerned. "Nothing else?"
Pheobe looked at Ami, she was searching for something. Something she saw? She shook her head. "Nothing."
"Can you get up?"
Pheobe nodded, rising to a sitting position.
"My mother is a docter, if you have any more problems...."
"No, I think I'll be fine."
"Alright." Humbly Ami rose, stepping outside the door and leaving Pheobe to contemplate what had happened.
=======================================
Rei glaced across the table at her blue haired friend. "Ami, whats wrong?"
Usagi, Makoto and Minako all turned to their friend in curiousity. Ami was indeed distracted, more concerned with buying her nose in the book she was reading to pay them any attention.
Usagi intervened, trying to get the attention of their friend. "Ami?"
Finally Ami looked up, snapping out of her trance. "What?"
"You've been reading that book ever since we got to the parlor."
"Oh..sorry."
Minako continued. "What are you reading?"
Ami sighed closing the book and grabbing a napkin. She drew a straight line, inverting the arrow sign so it pointed downward.
Usagi blinked at the strange combination of lines. "A stick person?"
Minako scoffed. "It's not a stick person, wheres the head?"
"Well theres the arms, they're pointing up." She indicated the arrow.
"It's Algiz."
Makoto looked at Rei in curiousity. "Algiz?"
Rei nodded. "Algiz is a rune symbol of vikings. It means protection."
Usagi blinked. "What?"
Makoto looked at her friend. "How do you know all this Rei?"
"My Theology class covers it. But why the sudden intrest Ami?"
Ami shrugged, crumpling up the napkin. "I was just curious. You remember the new girl Pheobe right?"
When the girls nodded Ami continued. "She freaked out in chemistry. I turned on the burner and she was terrified."
Usagi nodded. "Her mom died in a fire."
Everyone looked at their Odongo haired friend. "How do you know that?" asked Makoto.
"She told me about it."
Ami nodded. "That would make sense. She probably saw the whole thing."
"So she's afraid of fire?"
Ami nodded.
"Speaking of which.."
They all looked at Makoto, who nodded to the purple haired girl just outside.
Usagi smiled. waving to the girl. "Pheobe!"
============================
Pheobe sighed, kicking the ground as she walked down the street. She had felt it again today, that warm energy, recognition. She just couldn't understand why. Immediatly she stopped,the emotions were stronger here. One she recognized clearly as Usagi, the other was Ami. Then there were 2 more, familiar but still unknown. Still a fifth tingled her senses with mystery. They all bombarded the corners of her mind. Where were they?
"Pheobe!"
There. Pheobe turned her head, gazing upon her 4 clasmates and one stranger. They hurt her head, all those emotions calling on her, that same feeling clawing at her memory. Instinctively she broke into a run, escaping the powerful flash of emotions that had swept her up a moment ago.
=======================
Usagi blinked in confusion. "She just ran."
Minako sighed, turning back to her milkshake. "She seemed rude."
Pheobe shook her head, slowly sitting up. Everyone else was still out cold, nobody had arrived yet. Weakly she rose to her feet, steadying herself on one of the game consoles. She had to get out of here before she was asked to explain some monster she had never even heard of before today.
