Ashleigh rose smoothly when it seemed that the class was coming to an end, and she seemed calmer then she had been for a while, when pain, horrible pain, and she doubled over, clutching her head, as the pain began to overwhelm her. For a brief moment, the other students might feel the pain themselves, a faded version, as Ashleigh let out a shattered, almost childlike cry. For a brief, frightened moment, Ashleigh wondered if her bracelet had stopped working, as she fell to the ground, her knees slamming down, bowing over, clutching her had. 

She screamed, and anything that wasn't battoned down fly backwards a few feet, her telekinetic powers lashing out, in an attempt to calm the storm that rose up in her, twirling and twisting, the other students emotions seeping in, the pain becoming even more unbelievable. 

She started to cry, bowing over her knees, laying her head on the ground as if that could help contain the splitting pain. And then it seemed to become better, and she stayed where she was, breathing in and out, sobbing. She made to reach for Vivi, but the other girl was too far away, and she let out a wail. She knew this wasn't her, and she lifted her head, swallowing painfully around the lump in her throat, her eyes red, her face pale. She let her eyes roam over the students, landing on Alister. 

She knew that if she was going to remain in control, she needed to deal with him. Rising slowly, unsteadily, sniffling, she carefully took a few steps, shaking. Weak, she stumbled towards Alister, falling in front of him, she did something completely dangerous. 

She took off her bracelet. 

At once, everything became dangerously hightened, the emotions of her fellow students crushing against her, and she let out a gasp, shaking even worse. Alister's pain fell upon her even more powerfully, and a whimper escape her. Reaching out, she touched him, the bare skin to skin contact hightened Alister's emotions, and dimmed the rest, but it was still quite like standing in the middle of a hurricane and expecting to not get blown away. 

She drew in a deep breath, in and out. In and out. In and out. When she felt like she could, Ashleigh gripped Alister's wrist tighter, and she drew the pain away, letting it out unconscious, neutralising the emotion so that it dispersed harmlessly into the air. 

She clutched at her bracelet, weakly putting it back on, swaying as her vision blackened, and she fell to the rest of the way to the ground, curling up into a ball, she trembled. She had no idea at all why shehad gone over to Alister, other then to save her own hide.[@KiritoAsuna][@Thundercrash][@Themerlinhawk][@Hitman5455]
