Darkest Powers (Fallen Catalyst and HarpyAshe 5)

[Fallen]

“You had a pretty compelling argument. Like all of us have abilities of some sort and that’s why we’re here. It makes more sense than the bullshit they tell us.” Stella explained to him quietly.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Okay. So what, you're here to throw Albany under the bus or you got some kinda powers yourself?" Everett asked her, leaning against the wall.

[Fallen]

“I ummm. I’m not sure if mine count really as powers or not.” She admitted quietly. “You’re keeping this all secret from the doctors, right?” Stella asked.

Eden nodded. “Yeah. It’s just between us. We’re obviously not telling the doctor.”

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Everett nodded in agreement to Eden's words."Nope none of this is being told to the doctors. We're trying to get out of here after all, not stay here longer."

[Fallen]

Stella nodded. “Okay. So what do you know about me already then?” She asked quietly. She didn’t want to reveal a whole ton of extra information if it turned out that they’d already known it.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Just what I read on your file. That you made someone hurt themselves and your mom though you were crazy and send you to the hospital," Everett said. At least, that's basically what it had said.

[Fallen]

Stella shrugged. "Well, yeah. That kinda happened. They apparently didn't write down the story that led up to that though." She mumbled, glancing between them. She was unsure about actually telling them.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Okay, what was the story that lead up to that?" Everettt asked, raising an eyebrow,"We won't tell the doctors Stella. Honest."

[Fallen]

Stella nodded slightly. "The person who I convinced to hurt themselves. I saw something. I dunno if it was like a dream or what. But they were gonna go and harm other people, I was just trying to stop them. I don't quite know why they were hurting themselves. Maybe cause I called them out on what they were planning, I dunno.."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Everett nodded slowly at her explanation."So the person was going to go hurt other people and when you told them to stop, they started hurting themselves instead? And that's why people think you told them to do it?"

[Fallen]

Stella shrugged. "I guess so yeah. People wouldn't really listen to my explanation. They decided I was crazy and manipulative and a danger to others so here I am." She explained quietly.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Everett nodded, taking a deep breath and then letting it out slowly."You mentioned it maybe being a dream. What exactly was it? Like did you see it, like a video or like pictures?"

[Fallen]

“Yeah. Like I saw it. Like I was there watching it.” She agreed quietly, glancing at him. “Why? What’re you thinking?”‘Stella asked curiously.

Eden kept quiet as she took some notes.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Well it sounds like a vision to me, that's why I'm wondering," Everett replied with a shrug. He had read up on a few different supernatural being that were able to see visions. It's just what it seemed like to him.

[Fallen]

Stella shrugged. “Alright so what’s that mean? Like I’m seeing the future or what?” She asked. She hadn’t had any incidents since she’d arrived there but that was likely because they kept her medicated.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"It seems like it to me," Everett said with a shrug, looking over at Eden and then back to Stella,"Have you ever had that happened to you before or was it just the one time?"

[Fallen]

“I think it’s happened before a few times. It hasn’t happened since I’ve been here though.” Stella answered quietly.

Eden let Everett do all the talking as she just made more notes. It was a lot to wrap her brain around in terms of all the different things going on with each of them.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Makes sense. The medicine that they give you guys block out the powers you're suppose to have. At least, that's what seems to be happening. Makes it so you think you're getting better," Everett explained to her.

[Fallen]

Stella nodded. “Okay. Any suggestions on how to make them think we’ve taken our meds if we haven’t, cause that’ll be the best way to get out I think?”

Eden flipped through her book to start looking for answers to what they were.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Well they're capsules, not tablets right? Put it under your tongue and act like you take it, go to the bathroom and spit it out," Everett said with a shrug, seeing that would be the simplest thing to do. Capsules took longer to dissolve and break down than actual tablets after all.

[Fallen]

Stella nodded. “Alright. And do you want all of us to start doing that?” She offered quietly.

Eden glanced at them occasionally

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Yea pretty much. I'm not sure what everyone else's deal is, like I don't know what they might be but I certainly think everyone here is something. We're not just normal humans," Everett said, scratching his arm slightly.

[Fallen]

Stella nodded. “Okay. I’ll try and talk to albany about that then.” She assured. “I’ll let you guys deal with the boys though.” She told them quietly.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Sounds fair. She actually told you the stuff about her hair?" Everett asked in confusion, raising an eyebrow. Albany didn't seem to type to easily admit stuff that was going on with her.

[Fallen]

Stella shrugged. “More like I was in the room and I saw it happening. She didn’t deny it when I asked about it..” she explained quietly.

Eden pretty much tuned them out as she instead focused on the book in front of her.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Makes sense, kinda hard to deny that when you saw it happen right in front of your face," Everett replied, sighing a bit,"Alright, you go try and take to Albany some more, I'll go try and talk to Payton and Shane." Payton might be easier to convince, but he wasn't so sure about Shane, if the dude was aware yet of what he was.

[Fallen]

Stella nodded. “Okay. Keep me in the loop though on how we’re gonna get out of here.” She added faintly, stepping back from them.

Eden glanced over and nodded.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Okay. Good luck," Everett said, figuring she was gonna need to while trying to talk to Albany about that. At least he didn't have to try and do it. He glanced over at Eden, figuring he would leave her alone to her books to go talk to the guys, so he headed out of the library.

[Fallen]

Stella nodded and headed back to her room that she shared with Albany. She wasn’t sure when she’d bring it up but would try to do it soon.

Eden kept doing research, taking down some notes that she’d share with Everett later.

Shane was already in his room and laying in bed.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Do you wanna do both of them talking to them? (: ))

[Fallen]

(Uhh. I don’t care. :) It’s up to you?)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Oh I just wanted to make sure that, like, you wanted to do that now is what I mean haha like cause with Stella she wasn't sure if she was gonna mention it to her now? (: ))

[Fallen]

(I’m good with having Stella mention it now so everybody’s all on the same page.)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Okie cool! ))

Albany was still in the room when Stella came back, reading her book. She glanced up quickly when she came in before looking back down at the pages, turning it when she finished with the current one.

Everett walked to Shane and Paytons room, taking a breath before knocking.

Payton was in there as well, currently working on homework and he glanced up when there was a knock at the door, but did not stand up.

[Fallen]

Stella sat on the bed, a bit nervous about talking to Albany now. “The other girls are alright. They were freaking out but Jacoby and Everett were helping, minds weird.” She commented.

Shane glanced at the door. “What?” He called out without moving.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Albany looked at her when she spoke, raising an eyebrow."Minds weird, what?" She was curious as to what they were freaking out about though, and who was the one freaking out.

"It's Everett. Can we talk?" Everett said from the other side of the door, waiting.

Payton was very confused when he heard who it was, getting up and opening the door."Everything cool?"

"I just wanted to talk to you guys about something. Can I come in?" he asked. Payton nodded and stepped aside so the bigger guy could come in, which he did.

[Fallen]

“It was weird. Like the whole situation.” Stella told her. “Vivian was freaking out. But Everett helped calm her down I think. Then went to the library with Eden. They were talking about weird stuff..”

Shane lifted his head to watch them but he didn’t say anything. A lot of the medicine they gave him made him drowsy so he spent a lot of time sleeping.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Okay?" Albany said, wondering what that had to do with her. She continued to look at her for some type of explanation, momentarily closing her book and setting it down.

Everett closed the door behind him and stood by the wall, looking between the two guys. He never really spoke to either of them before, not preferring to...

Payton went and sat down on the edge of Shane's bed."Okay, what's up?"

"I'm gonna say some stuff that you're probably gonna think is really weird...But just hear me out, okay?" Everett said.

(( Ooooh, I dunno if you want, but I just thought of something for Shane! Maybe the reason that he had all that blood on him was because he accidentally shifted and went and attacked a deer or something? (: ))

[Fallen]

“They said something about our medicines making things worse rather than better. Like eden’s voices and stuff. Plus apparently Jacoby and Everett don’t have to take any drugs..”

Shane didn’t mind Payton sitting on the bed with him. He watched Everett quietly, wondering what all this weirdness was about.


((Ooooh! Yes. I like that idea)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"Um, why would that make it worse?" Albany said, very confused. It was surprising that Everett didn't have to take medicine, not Jacoby, but Everett since that dude had a bunch of screws loose.

"Okay Eve...go on," Payton said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Everett frowned at the nickname, but said nothing just took a breath."I don't think that we are what the doctors are saying that we are. How they're saying we're mentally and emotionally ill and unstable. That's not right. I think that we're all here for a reason and that we're...something else that's really important to them."

(( Yay!! :D ))

[Fallen]

“well. They mentioned something about Vivian moving stuff with her mind. And then I was thinking about how your hair is weird too. Maybe the drugs are stopping whatever’s going on with us...”

Shane shrugged. “I think a decent lot of us are definitely slight unstable. It doesn’t make sense to be here otherwise.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Albany looked at her when she said that, blinking a few times and processing what she said. What the hell did she mean by Vivian? And the medicine? What?"There's nothing going on with us. We're sick. End of story."

"That's what they want us to believe Shane. They're making us think we're unstable so we don't figure out what we are," Everett said.

"And just what are we Eve?" Payton asked, not getting what he was talking about.

Everett sighed, rubbing his forehead a bit."I think we're all some sort of supernatural beings with different powers. And all of those reasons that we were sent here, that was us not being able to use them correctly because we're still new at it."

[Fallen]

“Sick doesn’t mean your hair would change colors. It doesn’t add up with what would happen to me either. I don’t know what exactly is going on Albany but I don’t think it’s as simple as the doctors say..” Stella told her quietly.

Shane shook his head. “I think you’re delusional.” He didn’t want to believe that they were supernatural or anything. It didn’t matter what he was or what was wrong with him. He’d shown up covered in blood and he didn’t know if it was human or who’s exactly. That terrified him even now. So he trusted the meds that made him drowsy and calm.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

"There's probably another explanation for it. Now drop it, I don't wanna hear anymore," Albany said with a shake of her head, opening her book back up.

"But I'm not. The others know it too, Jacoby and Eden and Vivian, they all know," Everett said.

"Know what? That they're some kinda supernatural freaks?" Payton asked, chuckling and shaking his head,"You are crazier than I thought."

"I'm not crazy," Everett said to him, a slight glare in his eyes,"Look I think you guys know exactly what I'm talking about, you're just too afraid to admit it."

[Fallen]

Stella sighed. “Just think about it okay? I’m gonna try not taking my meds and see what happens.” She mumbled before leaving albany alone.

Shane sighed and sat up. “If the meds are making us not be freaks, why stop them? I’d think it’d be good to stay in my current state rather than how I was before..”

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Albany scoffed at her words, shaking her head. She was crazy...all of them were if they thought that this was actually what was going on.

"Because that's what there plan is. Have take the medicine, study us and then get rid of us when they're through. That's why we need to get out of here and that's why you guys need to stop taking your medicine," Everett said.

"Okay seriously, I've heard enough. Get the hell out Everett," Payton said, standing and pointing at the door,"I'm not kidding, leave."

[Fallen]

Stella sat down on her own bed and grabbed a book. She’d at least tried to convince albany. That was all she could do right now.

Shane bit his lip and watched Everett for a moment. “If you’ve known about this, why are you only mentioning it now? There’s been plenty of chances before.” He questioned.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Everett sighed at Payton's words, going to leave when Shane mentioned it."Because I knew something was up with Eden, so I was looking into her again. Plus Vivian scared the hell out of herself when she opened up the cabinets in the kitchen with her own mind a little bit ago. So I knew my hunch was right."

[Fallen]

Shane frowned slightly and nodded. “Okay.” He agreed quietly, still unsure what to think about it all. He needed some time to process and try and sort out if that was even possibly what had been up with him.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Payton shook his head, not believing it for a second. He, again, pointed to the door, wanting Everett gone.

Everett just raised his hands in surrender and left the room, cursing a bit. He knew it was gonna be hard to convince them, but he didn't think they would kick him out for suggesting it.
