October nodded, putting her compass away. Following the main road would likely be the best course of action, as they could then use the signs to find their way to town. A few other kids were a good dozen yards ahead of them and moving in the same direction, so it couldn't be too terrible a course of action. Truthfully, though, October doubted they'd be able to recognize anything peculiar even if they were staring in a mirror. Crypts always had a good eye for the paranormal and the unnatural.

That wasn't to say that she cared about winning, of course--she cared more about finding the object and learning what it did. She was fascinated with oddities, the principle reason why she agreed to attend the Institute. Truthfully, she didn't need any help learning about her world or about her abilities. That was something she could get at home with her uncle--instead, she was here to explore things that previously weren't available to her. She felt like a scholar of perhaps German studies, heading to Germany to explore more of what they already knew.

"I was very young," October answered, a wistful smile on her face. "I burnt the house down in my sleep." There was an unspoken result of her actions, words that October felt didn't need to be said. She had caused her parents' deaths--why say that? It was more logical to allow Carolina to think of what she said and infer that misfortune.

Carolina looked at October when she answered her question, and was taken aback when she admitted that she had accidentally burned down her house at a really young age. "Sorry to hear that happened.." Carolina said softly as she rubbed the back of her neck slightly, she wasn't sure if it was alright to ask anything else about it. Carolina decided to just drop the subject all together as they continued to make their way down the dirt road.

As they walked Carolina started to wonder exactly what it was that they were tasked with trying to find for Mr. Faust, she turned her attention back towards October. "So what do you think we are suppose to find while in town?" She asked her as Carolina spotted the sign with Saranac Lake on it, it wouldn't be that long now until they were actually in the town as Carolina started to pick up the pace a little bit hoping to get their hands on whatever it is first.

"The old man better not be telling us to find some kind of sex toy for him." Carolina said with a light laugh as she walked a little bit ahead of October and started to walk backwards. "Do you have any questions for me?" She asked, Carolina started to open more to her roommate feeling like she could trust her.

October chuckled a bit, noting her roommate's discomfort, but she decided not to push the issue. She had spoken with the spirits of her parents on several occasions, and she felt no guilt over her actions. She was too young to understand or control her talent, and their ghosts seemed to harbor no ill-will towards her. There would be no reason for them too, after all. In general, October found her parents' ghosts to be perhaps almost too chatty, and they constantly pestered her with questions. They were supportive, rather than angry.

"I doubt very much it's a sex toy," October chuckled, pondering the subject at some length. "It's likely some artifact or the other that Faust had collected. It's a test, I imagine, to see if we're worth the trouble." She shrugged ever so slightly, not all too concerned personally with winning the competition.

When Carolina asked October if she had any questions for her, October thought about it for a moment. She had lived among normals before and never truly liked them, but Carolina seemed to have had an altogether good experience. She was a sweet girl, from what October could tell. "Perhaps one--will you ever tell your sister of your oddity?"

Carolina thought about October's question quiet a bit, she loved her sister dearly but she wasn't sure how her sister's reaction would actually be. She gave a slight shrug she started to think of the possibilities, Cassandra did work for the government and didn't ever mention the things that she worked on. Carolina gave October a slight shrug as she looked over at the sign seeing that they were one mile out from the little town.

"I'm really not sure, I love my sister like a lot. But she does tend to keep some secrets with her job, all I really know is that she works with the government and doesn't mention what exactly she does. Aside from being a physicist and something to do with engineering." She answered though Carolina was tempted to follow her sister at times, with her ability she never really tested on how far she could actually leave her body, or how long she could stay in it.

"Perhaps she is a mad scientist," October mused, as they continued to walk down the road. There were city lights in the distance--not as large as New York or Los Angeles, but lights nonetheless. It wouldn't be too long until they arrived in Saranac Lake, and from what October surmised, some of the students likely had already arrived. "Though I suppose a maddened engineer would be more applicable...Is your sister deranged?"

A few minutes later, the main road revealed houses among the trees. The more they walked, the more civilization appeared. And true to its name, the town included a gigantic lake, with the moonlight reflecting beautifully off of it. None of the civilians seemed to be out, and October created a new ball of flame in her hands, staring into it for a moment. "One approach would be to burn the town down and search through the ashes," October explained, though she had a feeling Carolina wouldn't enjoy that method.

"How quickly can you travel in the astral form?" October asked, smirking ever so slightly. "If it's faster than in the physical, perhaps you can search the town--it's not too large--and then I can collect the item? I'm sure it's something evident."

Carolina looked at October and shook her head slightly. "No my sister Cassandra is one of the nicest people that you will ever meet actually." She said as she turned her attention back towards the road ahead of them, her eyes started to light up when she started to see the town's lights on the horizon before them. It wouldn't take that much longer maybe a few minutes tops as October asked if she was deranged letting out a slight. "She isn't deranged or a mad scientist either, she just is way smarter then I am but shes attractive, funny and smart anyone can easily enjoy her company after awhile."

As they got closer to the town October suggested burning down the town and then search through the ashes of the town for the object that Faust needed. Carolina gave October a weird look at that suggestion she would never kill anyone just to find some sort of object that she didn't even know what she would be looking for. "Yeah no, I don't think that will be a really good idea at all, and I don't think showing your powers to the world would be good either."

Carolina stopped and moved over towards a tree as she looked over at the lake seeing it as the moon shined over it did look truly beautiful as she turned to look at October asking how fast she could travel around in astral form. Carolina ran a hand through her hair as she started to think about it for a moment. She could fly around the room in that form, and phase through objects and walls anything solid really. "I never truly tested how far I can leave from my body, but I can move fairly quick and phase through solid objects as well as physically move them I can scout ahead if you don't mind playing babysitter for my body."

October thought about it for a moment and then nodded. She tugged on her hair as her mind raced through a plan, and she then darted over towards a boarded up house. It hadn't been inhabited in ages, with the paint pealing and a general look of desolation to it. She struck up a light in her hands, keeping it small as to not attract attention, and she kicked aside some dirt from the porch, clearing a spot for Carolina to lie down.

"I don't know how you'll know it, but I am confident that when you see the object, you will know it," October assured the girl, beckoning her with the non-fire filled hand to sit down and enact her ability. A few other children could be seen wandering the streets, dashing in and out of homes without any care towards preventing their discovery. October herself didn't seem too perturbed at the notion of revealing her powers to the normals.

"It'll perhaps have an aura to it," October mused. "Or you will likely recognize it as bizarre, strange, and wonderful. Either way, let me know as soon as you spy something peculiar..." She paused for a moment. "Or if you decide burning this town to the ground is the better decision."

Carolina followed shortly after October over towards what looked like an abandoned house, she leaned over to one of the windows to see if there was anything or anyone inside of the room. She turned back to look at October seeing her friend dusting aside some of the dirt and dust that had built up on the porch. She gave a slight nod, to what she could be looking for though she was really unsure what it would actually be looking like.

She jumped ever so slightly when she heard and saw some of the other kids from the institute breaking into the houses nearby, she was pretty sure that they would end up getting the cops called on them or something. "So anything with an 'aura' or anything peculiar got it." Carolina said with a soft smile, as she took October's hand and started to lower herself down onto the ground looking back at October. "Just make sure no one steals my body or do anything to it." She said jokingly.

Carolina then slowly closed her eyes letting out a soft sigh as she laid herself on the ground, suddenly her soul left her body and proceeded to get up leaving her body behind. October could feel something go past her, deciding the first place to check was the abandoned house. She started to phase through the door entering the abandoned house, Carolina slowly started walking around the living room looking through anything in the shelves to the closest first before moving onto the other parts of the house.

"Of course. Body snatchers are rather common in this era," October mused. "It's a noble profession--but I understand if you don't wish to have that experience quite yet." Her uncle, Sylvester, had gone through an affair similar to abduction a few years back. He spoke of it fondly--much more fondly than his short marriage to that dreadful woman, Debbie. They still found pastel colored clothing in the house from time to time, a harrowing sight.

She watched her friend lower herself to the ground, her eyes closing and then her form falling still. October played with small balls of fire in the darkness, watching their surroundings as she felt something brush past her. She could only assume it was Carolina. The other children continued to ransack through houses, with some brief screams piercing the air, as lights were thrown on. Carolina was right--it wouldn't be long until the police was there.

Of course, the police were slightly overwhelmed. The peculiar children were going from house to house, and each house involved a fretful family, paranoid and afraid. Some officers remained at each location, with the force becoming thinner and thinner, until only three cars were chasing the rest of the children. October extinguished the flame from her hands, peering around the corner, only to notice a uniformed officer coming to check in on the abandoned house.

"Carolina!" October whispered, hoping her friend was near and almost finished. The officer was only a few steps away. But inside the house, hidden in a broken fireplace, Carolina would notice a softly glowing ring. It's inside of a small box with runic inscriptions, and no matter what Carolina does--in the ethereal form or in the physical form--the box will not open. It is enchanted.

Carolina searched around the house, opening doors phasing through other rooms and just trying to find what it was exactly that was needed for Faust. She wasn't that far from the front door, Carolina could hear October's voice sounding like she was alarmed she moved outside for a moment and noticed a police officer searching the area around the abandoned house. That's when Carolina paused for a moment and spotted something within the fireplace. She quickly moved over towards it and spotted what looked like a lock box of some kind, however Carolina could see the outline of a glowing ring with in it. Carolina attempted to stick her hand into it, before letting out a slight yelp getting a slight shock from it when she tried to open it or phase her hand through it.

Knowing that she didn't have that much time left the officer was really close now as she quickly moved towards the door, unlocking the door Carolina quickly got back into her body. She stumbled slightly back up to her feet looking over at October and smiled slightly. "Found it, lets head inside." Carolina said in a whisper as she quickly made a run for the door, and waved October inside once her friend was in Carolina closed and locked the door quietly.

She slowly crawled over towards the fireplace and pulled out the lockbox with the strange runic markings on it and showed it towards October. "I also see a ring inside, though I cant get into it." Carolina whispered handing it over to October to see if she could do anything with it.

October felt relieved to hear her friend's voice and followed Carolina as quickly as she could, the fire in her hand extinguished as to hopefully not attract attention. She dashed inside the house, softly closing the door behind them, but a creak from the hinges couldn't be avoided. The officer froze, shining a flashlight on the door, as he frowned and then glanced over at his radio.

"This is Officer Vichi, gonna go check out the Royer House, think I heard something," the officer said gruffly into the radio. He then pulled his gun out from his holster and began to approach the old abandoned home.

October, meanwhile, had followed her friend over to the fireplace. Her eyes widened slightly as she took in the runic inscriptions, running her hands over the box. She had seen similar symbols before, but on the pages of a book. The only problem was, of course, the girl had read countless of books at her uncle's home. She had read countless bits and pieces of lore. She couldn't remember or identify the meanings of the box, nor the ring inside of it.

"Curious..." October murmured, before engulfing the box with flames. The flames in her hand turned blue and then white, as she increased the heat and the power, but it did nothing. The box and the ring were unmarred, as if nothing at all had come to pass. "I do not know these markings," she then whispered, hearing the door to the home swing open as the officer entered. "But this is very strange..." October stared at the box, frowning deeply.

"I think we should keep this."

Carolina let October take the box from her as she watched her friend lighting up the box on fire, taking a slight step back as she felt the heat coming from it, but nothing seemed to break the box open no matter how subtle or with brute force like October was trying to do. She could hear the police officer on the outside of the house speaking into his radio looking over at October suggesting that they keep it, though she wasn't sure if it was a good thing to do or not. They were tasked with getting by Faust to hand it back to him back at the Institute. "Shouldn't we like you know hand it back to Faust since that's what our task was instead of keeping it?" Carolina asked.

Then she heard the door bust open Carolina turned her head just as she saw Officer Vichi coming into the house. "Lets get out of here." Carolina whispered as she quickly turned and started to make her way towards the back door. Carolina started to struggle with opening the back door, before realizing that it was locked and quickly unlocked it looking back at October. Then opening the door motioning for her friend to follow.

October didn't look back at Carolina as she asked whether or not they should simply bring it back to Faust. At any rate, October did not trust the man. She was suspicious of his intentions and why he created a school. From her experience, actions such as the children raiding the city did not sit well with those who could be trusted with these artifacts. He could easily have the ring in his possession for some sort of attack.

But that was not really why the reason October wanted to keep the ring. To be honest, she simply wanted it because she did not understand it. Returning the ring to Faust would prevent her understanding. Her curiosity dominated her actions in almost every situation and this was no exception. After moments of thought, she turned back towards Carolina, just as her friend suggested they leave the house.

"This is Saranac PD!" the officer called out, his flashlight illuminating the empty halls. "Come on out, show yourself! You're trespassing on private property!"

October glanced towards the sound of the officer's voice, before following Carolina towards the back door, box in hand. The light of the flashlight, however, caught October's dress. The officer, his pistol raised, aimed it towards the young girl. "Put your hands in the air!"

But October dashed forward, attempting to make it out before the officer could shoot. She barely made it out of the door in time as the gun was fired, the bullet embedding itself into the door frame, just inches away from where October had been a moment prior. Closing the door, October quickly looked around, seeing only trees in front of them that melted into forest, and to either side of them, more homes. To go back would be to encounter the officer.

"Go on ahead!" October beckoned to her friend, as she held the box in one hand. With the other, she created a ball of fire, and threw it towards the back door. It took a moment, but the door soon burst into a wall of flames. "Should buy us some time," she explained.

Once the door was finally opened Carolina turned her head as the officer's flashlight hit her and October's dress the door finally opened just as the officer yelled at them to stop. When they didn't he discharged his weapon causing Carolina to scream, she was never shot at before which made her scared. Luckily the bullet didn't hit either one of them, as she rushed out through the back door breathing heavily as October told her to continue on ahead. Carolina hesitated for a moment before nodding and continued to make her run a bit further when October caught up to her.

Carolina watched her friend create a fireball from her hand and threw it directly at the abandoned house, causing her to remain frozen for a moment she wasn't sure if the officer would be hurt by that or not. But she wasn't going to find out as October said it would be a distraction for the officers while they made their escape. Carolina continued to make her run through the woods a bit further with the box still in her hand. The tree line started to become thicker and thicker as she ran a bit further until she was a good distance away at least in her opinion and stopped.

Carolina leaned herself up against a tree closing her eyes breathing heavily as she looked around before turning her attention back towards the box that she was holding. Getting shot at better be worth it but she was also curios now why it was important to Mr Faust holding it in her hand.

Carolina started to try opening it again even trying to use her own finger nails to try and get into one of the cracks and pry it open that way causing her to groan in frustration before just throwing it down onto the ground, then picking it up again and then throwing it down even smashing it against the tree figuring that brute force could open it up. "Why wont this open?" Carolina asked, before turning her attention to October. "Are you okay, you didn't get hit were you?" She finally asked looking concerned for her friend.

With Carolina taking the box from her, it freed October to go into a more defensive position. She created a ball of flame in each of her hands, ready to launch them at a moment's notice. Truthfully, she didn't know whether or not the office would survive the fire she had started in the house. She only assumed that he would, and if he didn't, she wouldn't feel guilty about it. The peculiar girl had no pity for the police officer and had no fear of flames.

She ran through the woods after Carolina, dodging branches as best as she could as the woods became thicker. Although October could no longer see the officer, with the house now fully ablaze, the officer did manage to make it out in time. He radioed for back-up, before staring at the column of fire, and swearing as he radioed in for the fire department. The risk of a forest fire seemed too large, and if it did spread, it could easily wipe out the entire town.

"I'm not sure," October admitted with a bit of a smile. "Fascinating, really, isn't it? It's so strange, and I must admit, I haven't the foggiest idea what these inscriptions mean...We could be dealing with anything, really." And rather than being put out by that, the possibility of the unknown enchanted October. She put out the fire in her hands, having practically forgotten she carried it, but a spark seemed to remain in her eyes.

"Oh, not to worry, I'm fine," October reassured her friend, looking Carolina over carefully for a moment. She didn't notice any problems, beyond the girl's mental state. The encounter seemed to have affected her friend, and for a moment, October couldn't help but be curious as to why. Glancing upwards, October saw the storm continued to rage on, with the moon only appearing for bits and flashes. It couldn't have been later than three in the morning, with this entire hunt beginning three hours ago.

"Perhaps we should attempt to open it. It'll be a few hours before Faust expects us back, I imagine," October mused. She considered herself to be fluent in gibberish, able to understand and communicate with words that seemingly had no meaning. Though communication was quite challenging, as very few others in the world claimed to be fluent in gibberish. Truthfully, October knew no one other than herself that was. Communication, then, was quite impossible.

But still, she tried. "Ene eretu gecet. Dimiepo ne toyevoh bi mate usohoyo ri ahevice utepa yeloro: Asecare rere lesa nis datowit mi gacacuy timira tateh. Rasid orola iemagan yabeha orirurep.

Mupo mitic na di nocer pipi tuh tir," October said softly, tapping the box as she went.

Nothing happened, of course, and October huffed. "Maybe it wants a blood sacrifice...?" she asked, looking at Carolina, as if to see if the girl thought that was also a logical idea.

Carolina leaned up against the tree taking a deep breath as she looked up at the early morning sky it was still pretty much dark, occasionally seeing the slight flash of lightening in the sky, and the moon that was trying to peek through the clouds. Brute force didn't seem to work as she turned her attention back towards October as she spoke glad to see that her friend was alright. The box and what was inside it did really intrigue her quiet a bit, her astral body didn't work trying to open the box, setting it on fire or even using just plain old brute force to try and force it open didn't work.

"Well it certainly is a bit of work to try and get it open." Carolina said looking back around the way that they had ran away from the abandoned house. Wondering if the officer did actually make it out of the burning house alive or not, Carolina was scared that she might have actually killed someone well really more had a part of it, she didn't set the house on fire. Carolina turned back to look at October as she started to say some gibberish that she couldn't even understand and that didn't even work.

Carolina then raised an eyebrow when she suggested using some blood to try and open the box, though a slightly crazy idea Carolina was willing to try anything at this point. "Guess we could try that." Carolina said softly as she looked around, eventually finding a stick breaking it in half Carolina brought the sharp broken end of the stick to the palm of her hand. Carolina closed her eyes and started to groan in pain as she pressed it deeper until finally the skin broken, then Carolina hovered her bleeding hand over the box watching as her blood dripped onto the top of the box hoping that it will work. "If this doesn't work maybe get a crap load of fireworks and then strap them onto the box and light it up?" Carolina said jokingly.

As Carolina's blood hit the box, it glowed briefly for a moment with an X appearing on top. The blood then seemed to evaporate and vanish, the glowing with it, along with the X symbol. October tilted her head slightly, having been partially joking about the need for a blood sacrifice. She tapped her finger against her lip as she thought. The X had to have some meaning to it and October took a stick similar to Carolina, cutting open the tip of her own finger and allowing the blood to drop on the box.

She managed to tolerate the pain and she tilted her head, watching as the same event happened. The X appeared in common between the pair of them, and October almost regretted keeping that police officer from catching up to them. It would have been a nice point of comparison, to see if only the blood of those with gifts produced the X on the box. But regardless, the box remained shut, with nothing still allowing them to open it and grab the ring.

"This truly is remarkable," October mused. "X marks the spot, I suppose...Perhaps this is some sort of pirate treasure?" October suggested, chuckling a bit at the thought. Pirates so rarely ever did mark their treasure with an X. It was a bit of a fad, a story trope that normals quite enjoyed. Of course, October's head darted skywards, hearing the unique noise of a quinjet.

"...Curiouser and curiouser," October muttered, before glancing over towards Carolina as the jet descended in a clearing just fifty feet away from the girls.

Carolina watched as her blood evaporated from the box, seeing a slight glowing coming from the box and then a small X appearing on the surface of the box. This was getting weirder and weirder as she looked towards October, for any kind of answer the box felt more like something a warlock or a witch would use to keep their valuable. "Maybe they were magical pirates or something." Carolina said jokingly as she watched October doing the same thing, the same event happened to the box. "Or more really weird Harry Potter kind of stuff." Carolina said.

Her attention then turned up looking up at the sky hearing and seeing the familiar look and sound of a quinjet darting through the sky, Carolina looked towards October. "Should we make a run for it or something?" Carolina asked, knowing that it was something that SHIELD always used to get around. Though Carolina didn't mind them, she was actually always interested and learning more what SHIELD did. Carolina then looked over towards her hand and started to wipe away at it with her pant leg getting a little bit of her blood onto them.

October was quiet, mulling over their options. She had encountered S.H.I.E.L.D. once before in her lifetime, when they attempted to put her on the gifted index. Between the ages of five and seven, she had lived with her father's family. After that, it was a series of foster homes and a similar series of fires, culminating in her running away, and only moving in with her uncle when she turned fifteen. The agents never did manage to register her on the index, mostly from a plot of her uncle's making.

They ended up faking October's death in the encounter, making it appear that she burned in her own flames. Of course, the agents never did learn that the flames did not harm October. She and her uncle had made certain of that, not taking too kindly to the thought of being added to a registration.

"They will put us on the index if we do not escape," October explained, glancing over at Carolina. Their other option would be to run in the opposite direction of the jet, either ending up in the clutches of local law enforcement or being forced to return the artifact to Faust. She doubted that Faust would allow them to study the artifact and her curiosity with the institute had mostly been satisfied at this point. It appeared to be a facility for the cultivation of powers--the purpose, of course, did remain unclear.

"But they may also help us to understand the box," October added, tugging on her hair. To her, the choice was then between freedom and knowledge. But then October grinned slightly. The last she had used her powers had been in the escape from the house, setting the back entrance ablaze. There was likely no proof that she had used pyrokinetic abilities to do that--at least, not evidence that S.H.I.E.L.D. could obtain. The same was true for Carolina.

"Let us pretend to be normals," October suggested. "It seems likely that they're here for the box--maybe they'll share its secrets with us. And should things go awry, between the pair of us we should be able to make it back to the school."

Time was running out to make a decision, of course. The S.H.I.E.L.D. team had already begun to exit the quinjet, armed with weapons--whether they were pistols or icers was not immediately obvious, of course. It would be less than a minute before the team was on the girls. They would need to move quickly if they wanted to escape.

Carolina was thinking of their options as well, either to end up running away the opposite direction or to let the SHIELD agents catch up and then be in the hands of them. The thought of having to be put onto a sort of index to be catalogued like some sort of animal made her cringe at the thought of it. "They would probably end up having to test us or something, after all there are a bunch of kids from the Institute with abilities as well." Carolina said running a hand through her hair as she though and started to try and look around for a bit, maybe they were here for the influx of specials around the area most likely still searching for their box.

Her eyes looked around the area, before spotting a hollowed out tree stump quickly running over to it looking at October's suggestion maybe they wont search around for it. Carolina gently dropped the box inside of it, looking around she found some leaves and sticks she grabbed them and started to burry it under them. "Hopefully they wont find it in there." Carolina said as she went back to standing next to October and then started to look a bit nervous.

They couldn't really just stand there, looking over to October for a moment. "Act normal could work." Carolina said softly running a hand through her hair as she started to hear some voices in the distance the SHIELD team was approaching pretty close now, she could see some of the flashlights. "Any other suggestions?" Carolina asked.
