It was simon's voice next that echoed, boomed more like, through the gym. [color=aba000]"Oliva said HALT"[/color] his voice seemed to echo over the room, coming back to the students again and again, both instructors seeming to be at ease, but almost ready to pounce if required. 

Cassandra knew it was already too late. The damage had been down. She was surer the other students knew that something was different with her, and she huddled, hugging herself, rocking slightly. She wanted out of here, needed out of here, needed to be somewhere else, anywhere else. 

She missed Alec seeming to lose it, as she fought for her own control, feeling sickened and just tired. She noticed the cold though, and after a few moments that's what made her look up. Her eyes widened as he seemed to be muttering just what she had a few moments ago. Rising in one fluid motion, she reached almost instinctively for her sword, but remembered not to pick it up. Instead, she took the few steps to Alec, knowing that this could go from bad to worse in a heart beat, and knowing others would get hurt. 

She wouldn't allow that to happen. 

[color=f6989d]"Alec! It's okay, it's okay Alec, please, stand down! Please, please please"[/color] She said stopping a few feet from him.
