Just dig, we need a hole bigbig enough for each of us to make a snowanimal, we'll explain once we're done Jason purred out, his tail flicking from side to side, James continued to dig, his body moving as Jason nears him, Enna following in an unconcious circle formation. James pauses long enough to send a thought to Adrian, his tall flicking as he takes a deep breath.

I saw your curiosity when I summoned the fox earlier, Enna and Jason can do the same, it takes practice but is easy enough to learn. We do this during winter because the animals usually move with Enna unconciously feeding them a portion of her power. No one's here so we can run around freely and relax a bit before the other students come back and school starts once more. James states softly as he begins to dig once more, Enna pauses and glances up, her ears twitching as she listens to the explanation. She snorts softly and moves toward Adrian, rubbing her side against his before returning to their now rather large circle, a faint pulse of icy wind filling the air as Enna begins to dig once more.

None saw the kind sky-blue eyes watching them as they digged, turning away from the window, the headmistress made her way towards where her only students were, her heels silently guiding her toward their direction. She paused when a familiar violet fox ran past her, her lips tugging into a smile as she begins to walk once more. She just wanted to check on them before heading to the meeting she had, her hands absently curling into fists within the folds of her gray robes. Shaking hee head she dispelled the thoughts and focused on her goal, reaching the doors that lead to where the kids were -the garden- she paused and waited for one of them go notice her, she smiled when she saw the rather large circle they'd begun to make took form, crossing her arms she waited. @SomeoneSomewere

Looking at the two twins as they began to explain, Adrian nodded, stepping forward again. As Enna approached, he purred softly, a smile forming on his maw, his eyes closing as he brought his head closer to run against her more as she passed him. He then jumped into the circle, his feet easily planting through the snow. He began to dig as well, feeling the stretch of his skin around the stitches, his teeth drawing back slightly. His large paws threw back handfuls of snow, his paws and forearms soaked as the snow that is clinging onto his fur melts. As they slowly rotated, his noticed movement out of the corner of his eye.

Acting on instinct, he let out a small growl, spinning to face the figure, his body preparing for a attack against them. Once he recognized the headmistress, he allowed his body to relax, rising to a standing position. He let out a grunt, jerking his head towards the headmistress as his way of informing the others of her presence. He detached himself from the hole they were digging, making his way over to the headmistress.

As he approached, he allowed himself to shift back into his human form, finding it more proper to speak to her as a human then as his sabertooth. He immediately realized the mistake in his actions, shivers running rapidly down his spine. He didn't put back on his shirt after Enna stitched him up, so now he was bare chested standing out in the middle of winter. He crossed his arms tightly over his chest, working to warm up the air around him. It took longer then normal to reach this achievement, this portion of his power working by speeding up the molecules in the air surrounding him, fighting to get the slow moving pieces to a faster pace. It took harder work, and tired him out quickly. His teeth were chattering slightly, shivering, muscles standing on edge already, in the breif time he had been out of his fur covered form. He then said, his voice tight," hello Headmistress." @Arista

Enna paused and barked softly at the twins, both paused before beginning again, their purrs filling the air as Enna spins and trots towards where Adrian stands. She whines softly when she notice his shivering form, she moves closer and clamps down on her power, her tail winding around his lower back, her fur rubbing against his bare stomach. She remained standing and twitched her ear in the direction of the headmistress, her eyes closing as a yawn escapes her maw.

"Hello Adrian, Enna. I wondered if you were doing alright, the fact that an Anima could enter and find Enna only by scent is worrying. I hope this doesn't effect anything." The headmistress offers softly, her eyes focusing on the two before her, shifting slightly to the side to check on the twins, shaking her head fondly she focuses on the two before her knce more. A smile tugging on her lips as Enna rubs the side of her body once more against Adrian's form. It was sweet. @SomeoneSomewere

A small sigh of relief came from him as her warm body wrapped around him. He uncrossed one of his arms, gently running his fingers through her fur, smiling softly down at her. He continued softly petting her, shivering slightly still, but less then before. The cold was making him feel sluggish. He despised the feeling. He looked up again back at the headmistress, listening to her speak.

He nodded softly then said, keeping his voice neutral, not wanting his anger to spike at the thought of the anima," we are doing fine now, but I'm afraid I need a new room. I burned a large majority of my current one. I can't help but wonder, however, how was it that the anima so easily slipped into the school and got all the way inside my room and to Enna without anyone noticing?" His fingers glided through her fur, the repetitiveness useful in keep him calm and relaxed. At least on the outside. @Arista

The headmistress' smile dims slightly, Enna's body tenses as she feels light wash over her fur, her maw pulling back to reveal her teeth, her hackles rising when she spots familiar black-cloaked figures appear on the other side of the field. Jason and James hiss slightly, trotting over and aligning themselves beside Adrian and Enna, the headmistress moved forward and raises her hands.

"Your not to be here yet, school isn't in session. Be gone." The vanish and all three relax slightly, the twins gently rubbing against Enna and Adrian before moving back toward their hole. Enna continues to growl softly, her ears flicking from side to side as she listens. "I'm not sure, since she came with me after...She's been a target and I'm not sure why. The twins help but she isn't always with one of them, this time we were lucky. I'll set up your new room soon don't worry." She stated softly, moving forward and seeming to ignore Ennas growls, she reaches forward and places her hand on Enna's head, her body stilling completely.

The very air seeming to still and the sounds of two low, rumbling growls fill the air, James and Jason slowly slinking forward, Enna never moving as long fingers card through her fur.@SomeoneSomewere

At the appearance of the hooded figures, he growled as well, his lips drawing back over his teeth, as threatening as that could be in this form. Even after the headmistress cast them away, his body remained tense, on edge now. His thoughts in the back of his mind came to the forefront, reminding himself of how easily they could be attacked again. His petting slowed slightly, eyes narrowed a little.

He frowned as she said that she didn't know how they got in to the school. His lips drew back slightly and he said," well I think you should build up the defense of this school to protect your students." He wasn't fond of how the anima was just able to walk in. Weren't the custos supposed to keep them out? Well why didn't they stop him?

Adrian also froze as she began to pet Enna, his hand stilling in her fur. His eyes narrowed dangerously at the headmaster, but said nothing, on edge because of how Enna was acting. She obviously did not appreciate this, and neither did the twins. He said," well. You said you had to go to a meeting?" He was trying to shoo her off to get her to leave Enna alone. He needed to figure out more about this relationship. @Arista

The headmistress offered a nod and released Enna's fur from her fingers, Enna instantly shifting to push Adrian back a bit, her growl still filling the air, the twins relax and move back to their hole. Stopping and sitting until her haunches were on Adrian's feet, Enna watched as she offered a nod and wave before vanishing in a flash of white light.

Huffing softly, she shakes herself out and raises her head to look at her friend, her hind paws easily lifting her until her snout was placed in the curve of his neck, a happy rumble filling her chest as she happily nuzzles him. The upset forgotten at the headmistress's flight. @SomeoneSomewere

Adrian took a step back in surprise, confused by her actions of pushing him back. He didn't resist her however, taking the necessary steps backwards as she pushed him. He was amused as she sat down on his feet, holding him in place, curious as to her actions still. He closed his eyes against the light that appeared with her disappearance, blinking slightly afterwards. His gaze dropped down to Enna, meeting her eyes as she looked up at him.

He blinked in surprise as she raised herself to nearly his height, gently snaking his arms around her, helping her hold herself up in the process. He leaned his head against her head, smiling softly. He breathed in her scent, purring softly in happiness. His hand softly glided over her back, smiling still. @Arista

She fully relaxed and sighed softly, her hackles lowering as calm fills the air around the four of them. Enna chuffs softly and pulls away, making her way towards the twins and stretching slightly as she nears them, Jason purrs and rubs his side against hers, James following before their once again begin to dig, a small violet fox, blue wolf and another fox appear and seem to hover above the snow. None pay any mind, the sun ducking slightly behind thick, dark clouds.

Join us Ad? Enna asks softly pausing to glance back at him, her head tilting to one side as she waits for his response. @SomeoneSomewere

He smiled softly as she relaxed in his arms, kissing her cheek softly. He released her as she pulled away, smiling softly after her. As she walked away, he shifted himself back into his sabertooth form, shaking out his fur. He still felt small shivers go through his body, but the fur helped warm him up.

He was about to approach, but he halted in confusion as the animals appeared, staring at them with a tilted head. This must have been what James was talking about earlier. As Enna invited him over he approached, helping them continue their digging. His ears were perked, the only sign that he was still on edge for some form of an attack. @Arista

Enna gently butts her head against his, her tail beginning to wag, her ears flicking from side to side as she silently listens to any danger. The scent of rain has her stilling, a happy yip escaping her maw and she stops her digging and flops on her back, her paws stretching into the air.

She loved the rain, the breeze that fills the sky has her tail wagging, Jason and James pausing to glance into the sky and sniff the air.

Should we go inside? They asked in unison, their tails swaying from aside to side rythmically. They bow their heads to Adrian and show their necks to Enna as she twists her head to face them as she remains belly up.@SomeoneSomewere

A chuckle escaped his maw as she bumped heads with him, gently pushing her with his body. Once the smell of rain reached his nose, his ears drooped slightly. He the opposite reaction from Enna, but her excitement still managed to bring a smile from him. He just wasn't very excited for this. He let a puff of air escape from his nose, gazing up at the sky.

At the question from the two, he lowered his head, looking at Enna before letting his tongue flick out to wet his nose, before looking back at the twins. He then thought, broadcasting his thoughts to the other three, I would prefer going inside, the rain will just make me colder then I already am and take away the effectiveness of my thick fur. His ears twitched softly, gazing back at Enna. He did not desire to ruin her fun, but he had to think of his own self and how he handles the cold. @Arista

Enna rolled onto her side before rising to her feet and shaking her body out, she was just thinking of an a thought, only to have a body slam into her own and send her flying. A yelp escaped her maw as another figure appeared and clamped their jaws around her neck, shaking her twice she's thrown once more and this time stays down.

James and Jason leap into action, Jason going after the cougar while James when after the white tiger, Enna snarls softly and attempts to rise to her feet, only to freeze when another set of jaws hover just above her neck. The second cougar hissing softly as her tail lashes out from side to side as she focuses her gaze on the sabertooth.@SomeoneSomewere

As the twins rushed off, he was about to run to Enna's side, to see the other cougar crouched above her. A roar of anger sounded from him, and his form barreled into the second cougar. He could feel the sluggishness in his body from the cold, but he refused to let it phase him, aiming to pin down the smaller feline underneath his large body. His claws were out, teeth drawn back over his fangs, canines flashing dangerously in the light. @Arista

Enna shook herself and rose to her feet, her maw pulling back to reveal her teeth. She gently rubbed her side against Adrian's side before pushing him back. She could smell the tiredness, her ears twitching as she glance toward the twins, a grin spreading across her lips as she shifts her attention to the sluggish sabertooth before her.

Go inside Ad, we have this. You can't be out here, go we'll be fine. Please. She quietly pled, her head nuzzling against the underside of his chin, soft rumble filling her chest. We can talk...about us after this, they don't mean anything they just want to test us. Go inside. She backs away and grips the cougars neck, tugging her from under Adrian's paws, she had payback to get to, the sounds of the twins fighting both tiger and male cougar had a near feral grin spreading across her lips as she drags the struggling cougar along with her. @SomeoneSomewere

A soft growl escaped him as she tried to push him back, but he stood fast, snarling down at the cougar underneath him. He breathed heavily, his hackles standing on end in his anger. His ears twitched as her voice entered his mind, his claws tightening down on the person, licking his nose again. He stilled slightly as her head appeared underneath his, careful to not let her canines cut her anywhere on accident. She calmed him down slightly, but he was still angry He turned his head, smelling at her neck, at where she was bitten for any blood. Her explanation did nothing to make him any happier, that they just wanted to test them. It frustrated him that he was being told to go back inside, stupid cold. Effecting him like this. He lifted up slightly as she pulled the cougar away, his claws raking the ground angerly, wishing to rip it apart. He watched her walk away for several moments, before turning and stalking inside.

He was not happy, not happy at all. Once inside where it was warmer, he immediately began to pace, growling softly in anger still. His claws created scratches in the floor as he walked, digging in with each step. His hackles stood on edge still, glaring down at the floor. As he slowly warmed up, he woke up more, his power kicking in. He now began to leave scorch marks on the ground, flames slowly flickering around his paws. @Arista

Enna easily lifted the cougar and sent her flying, her maw opening as a long, snarl escapee her lips, James and Jason moved toward her and flanked her on either side, their laws open and similar snarls vibrating through their chests.

I've asked you not to do this anymore. Enna snarled out, her power flaring slightly, her body seeming to grow as her anger increases, the twins move away and lunge, all four falling into the snow and rolling around, the sounds of yelps, snarls, hisses and the sound of flesh tearing filling the air.

The female cougar yawned and flashed her canines, her head tilting to one side, her tail flicking from side to side. She huffs and rolls her head, slowly creeping forward, Enna snarls and backs away, both beginning to circle once another.

Sorry Enna dear, I was asked to test you. Maybe your getting rusty? Or too attached to the sabertooth? Enna lunged forward and ducked the paw aimed for her neck, her own lazing out and striking her side, the cougar hisses and backs away. Enna snaps her jaws and lunged once more, her body seeming to have grown as she releases a burst of power, her eyes flashing as spikes of ice pierce the snow and litter the ground as the female cougar hisses and takes two sharp points dig into her side and belly before jerking away.

She may have adopted me but she's treated me like nothing more then an animal! Go to hell! Enna lunged forward and slams into the cougar, her eyes darkening until they blaze crimson, her power lashing out widely as her maw opens and her canines connect with flesh. The faint streaks of gray along her fur begin to darken, crimson seeping from the air as she tosses the cougar away and runs straight into one of her own pillars of ice, James and Jason dodge away from their opponents and freeze, the other two freezing as well.

They lower themselves until their bellies touch the snow, their flames vanishing as they watch friend repeatedly slam herself against the pillar before switching to another, the faint shock of electricity shooting though their collars has them whining softly, the black-robed Custos appearing within the blizzard that now filled the air. The mere mention of the headmistress had completely snapped Enna's control, the earlier confrontation doing nothing to help. The truth was the headmistress had taken Enna under her wing to merely test her power, her mind snapping had caused her suicidal actions. Both watched as the words from the file they'd read flashing through their mind as a familiar figure appears with the Custos, her golden hair billowing out behind her as she watches Enna's repeated self-harm, her once kind eyes cold and emotionless.

Princess.... Both whispered softly, their eyes flattening against their skulls. @SomeoneSomewere

Adrian could feel something was wrong. He sensed in deep within him. He was asked to leave, but he felt like he needed to go out. He snarled at the air, clawing at the floor again. He couldn't stand this. He wouldn't stand this. He couldn't stand this. After a few minutes more, he gave up on this. He ran back to the opening outside, bursting out. Large paws pounded the ground, fire flicking behind him. He couldn't see much, the blizzard blocking his vision, but he fought through, heading the direction that he knew they had headed.

His rage was to the point of boiling over, but he clamped down, hearing the faint thought of princess reached his mind. He spotted the custos, then the headmistress, before his eyes laid on Enna. The sight of her harming shocked him to his core. He jumped forward, quickly moving between Enna and the current pillar. He felt her slam into him, driving his body back on the pillar, grunting at a faint snap that sounded in him. He wasn't effected by the custos Magic in the collars, refusing to wear his own around campus. If he wasn't required to, he refused to.

Before Enna could move away, Adrian quickly and carefully tackled her to the ground, holding her down. He could care less if she attacked him now, he had to stop her. He whimpered at her, sending quiet thoughts her way, En... En please... Your safe... Stop... Please... He kept aware of the custos and headmistress, feeling bad with the two here. He wouldn't let them do anything to her. He refused to hurt her, his claws retracted, mouth mostly closed. @Arista

Enna struggled, her eyes wildly scanning the vast of white before her, her body trembling and breath heaving through her lungs. She wasn't there and she snarled as she pushed against the body against her own, she rose shakily to her feet and snapped blindly, the warmth that surrounded her and easily lifted her into the air had her jaws snapping at nothing as ropes of light wrapped around her belly and neck. She wasn't seeing anything beside the small dungeon room she'd been locked into, wolfsbane-coated bars sending pain through her body as she struggled to free herself from the chains, twisting her body I'm the present she pays little head to the wound of her bones snapping as she continued to fight.

"I'd stop Enna, we talked about this." The headmistress spoke softly, her hands held in the air as she tightens the ropes around her frantic student, Jason and James snarled at the ropes and lunged forward, yelping and falling to their sides as light lashes out and slams into them. They rose to their feet and whined softly, their eyes focusing on their friend as the ropes seemed to tighten before loosening and tightening once more. Enna's body trashing wildly. @SomeoneSomewere

Adrian roared at the headmistress, small bursts of fire escaping him as he struggled to keep himself in control. Two out of control people would not be good in this instance. His body was basically humming, the snow melting five feet before it even reached his body. He stalked towards her, snarling. He roared at her again, this time the roar accompanied with a yell of thought, Release her now! Leave! We do not want you help! YOU ARE NOT HELPING ANYTHING!

His body was shaking, all of his fur on end, making him appear larger then normal. He kicked off of the ground, his body leading him in a blind charge at the headmistress. He knew it wouldn't succeed, unless if it shocked her and the custos enough. Ahead of him he sent a large ball of fire, increasing to nearly his own size, the flames mostly blue in color. The only thing that was honestly keep him from exploding, was the fact that he's most likely hurt Enna. @Arista
