(daniel) Don't!

Kitten looked up at the clock waiting for the bell to ring. The fourteen year old half legend could not focus on anything today. Least the things she was supposed to be actually focusing on. She was antsy and she really wasn't sure why. On top of that she hadn't been sleeping and well things were still as confusing as they had been a few weeks back. No she was driving herself crazier then she was and she wanted to run and meet up with Marco or Kai or someone really. She more wanted to see Marco. It had to do with the fact that she was rather fond of him and protective to say the least. He was the second one to have met that was like her in a way. She wasn't exactly sure what that meant either. She just wasn't normal and that was okay at least that's what her mother had told her for the hundredth time that week.

The bell finally rang and the teacher looked at the students as they all waited for him to say that it was alright to leave. Kitten was up and out of the classroom before anyone knew she'd left. She wasn't sure if it was her powers or the mere fact that she could move quickly when she wanted too. She ran out of the school building making sure she had all her homework before leaving of course. She calmed down once she rounded the corner and let the soft breeze snap her into the reality of the fact that she was outside. She took a deep breath in and looked around her. All seemed to check out so she walked towards her home so she could drop off her school things and grab a bag that would get her through the rest of the day.

About two blocks away from home the hairs on the back of her neck started to raise and her whole body tensed up and started to tingle. She looked around and noticed someone that seemed out of place. She ditched down a side street and decided that another way to her house might be a good idea. She did it as if she hadn't noticed something out of place. At least not to make it obvious that she was trying to shake anyone. She glanced back and noticed the same person. She moved into an alleyway and found a ladder and climbed up it and was on the top of the building before well she really knew it. She looked down, pressing herself to the roof of the building she was on to stay out of site. The same person entered the alleyway and she could swear he looked up. She flipped onto her back and pressed herself more into it. This was freaking her out and she didn't like it.

It wasn't the first time in that week that she had felt someone following her but this time the person hadn't given up when she seemingly disappeared. Little to her own knowledge she had started to blend in with the roof. Of at least it seemed that way. She bit her lower lip until she drew blood then she turned again to look down. Now if one was close enough it would just be a pair of eyes that was seen oddly hanging near the edge of a building. That was if you had excellent eye site. She could vaguely hear a voice and the kitten in her tensed up and made a hissing sound. She needed to get away. She moved towards the other ladder and looked down. No one seemed to be on this side. However, a moment later there was the same guy standing in that alleyway too.

Kitten couldn't do nothing else but figure out a way to jump the buildings and not bee seen doing it. The guy was looking up and squinting through the sunlight. She took a deep breath and ran for it jumping and landing on the next roof silently as a cat falls. However, it wasn't jumping that she had done. She had completely disappeared and just rematerialized on the other roof. She found the ladder and ran down it. Moments later she was running down the street looking back. She made it to the docks before she finally stopped running. She looked around almost frantically now. She started to run again but bumped into someone and literally almost flew back with the momentum. She landed on her feet though doing a back flip before one would have hit the ground. She shook it off and just looked wild eyed and frightened at the person she had run into. The voices starting to flood her head. She was a little too panicked to be able to get them all to go away. Apparently there were just to many people in the area.

Daniel was staring out the window of his classroom while reflecting on his conversation with Marco, who had told him quite a few important things. Of course, the most important thing that he had been told was that there were others that were like the two of them in the area. Sure, they probably descended from different supernatural beings, but overall they were all people with power that were living in a world that believed that people like them didn’t exist. His mind naturally wandered from current events to memories of his past, and one memory in particular kept coming up. The memory was the one where he had told off Merlin and then got sentenced to being banished to normal world, and each time he thought of it Daniel was reminded of how his life had changed for the better that day. Now he had a family who cared about him instead of him being a successor to some old windbag in a funny hat.

Then the bell rang, and Daniel got up and quickly left the school. As he headed for home, the young man began to sense something was off, and he began to wonder what was going on to cause him to feel this way. ”Guess there isn’t anything that I can do besides try to find the source of it,” he said to himself as he tried to zero in on the cause. Scanning the surrounding area, his eyes seemed to stop on one person in particular who he seemed drawn to, so he pulled up his hood and started to walk towards them to strike up a conversation with this person. Unfortunately, this person had disappeared by the time that he had gotten across the street, but his senses were telling him to go down a side street in order to find this person.

Upon going down it, Daniel kept walking until he felt the urge to go down an alley, and he was beginning to wonder if this person was leading him on a merry chase for some bizarre reason. Walking halfway down the alley, Daniel began looking for signs that someone was there, and for some reason he was drawn to looking up for a moment. Alas, he didn’t see anything that screamed ‘awesome hiding place’, so he started to move on. As he started to leave, that feeling in his head told him that he was going the wrong way, but Daniel couldn’t see anything. Naturally, he could come up with a bit of magic to make his search a lot easier on him, but it didn’t seem as much fun to perform a spell to solve all of his problems. No, the half legend would do this the old fashion way just so he wasn’t completely reliant on his magical abilities to get him out of a jam like this.

Eventually, he came to the conclusion that if he could sense this person then he could also be sensed, which meant he was going to have to take an indirect approach to this. ”This person has to be exceptionally powerful to elude me. I guess I should just leave him or her alone for now,” he muttered as he turned to exit the alleyway. At the end of the alley, Daniel turned right and headed away from when his home was, and then he just began walking without any thought to where he was going. Somehow, he ended up down by the docks where someone just ran into him out of nowhere, which caused him to take a few steps back. During the collision, his hood fell off of his head to reveal what he looked like to the person who he had collided with, but Daniel hadn’t really noticed that his head was exposed.

His focus seemed to be on the young girl who had regained her balance in an impressive way, but the girl looked truly terrified for some reason. Daniel figured that there was only one thing that he could do in such a situation, which was to ask the obvious question. ”Are you okay,” he asked as that feeling came back into his head. Daniel wasn’t sure if that meant the girl was like him or if the person he had been tracking earlier was nearby, but first he had to act like a gentleman.

Kitten was trying to stop the onslaught of voices and something else that was hitting her right now. Someone of power possibly, someone like her. Except that she didn't see Marco around and frankly she hadn't actually at first felt anyone with an odd feeling either. She got odd feelings around certain people especially when she heard their thoughts. It had been different with Marco because she felt in a sense extremely connected with him from the first time the two of the met. She felt safe with him. On the other hand with the rest of most people she didn't feel safe with. She took a deep breath and then backed up to a walls and slid down it holding her ears but still looking at the guy that she had run into waiting for him to actually say something. She took a few deep breaths but the onslaught of voices wouldn't stop.

"Go away, go away, go away, leave me alone." She mumbled softly hoping that that would work. It did sometimes but no that wasn't how it was going to go today. She found the kitten inside of her hissing with its back arched at all the voices as well. There was something very odd in all of them too. Then the one she had run into was saying something to her. She shook her head as the words found their way in. "NO nothing is alright. I can't..." She took a deep breath again but nothing was helping. Her hair was the first thing to go transparent and then she started to blend into the wall that she had curled up against. She was shivering now and doing all she could not to change into a kitten. She closed her eyes and opened them and then closed them again breathing in deeply and letting it out. She didn't like the voices at all.

After what seemed like forever for her she stopped fadding into the wall and she seemed more tangible now as well. Her hair was pure white at the moment still but it was slowly fading into its usually blonde color. Her eyes still looked half panicked though. The voices slowly faded away as she thought of a song that she used to have sung to her when she was very little. A song that came to her in dreams when she was freaking out. She could hear in the mess of voices another voice soothing trying to calm her down and so she calmed and looked at the other in front of her. "Sorry I didn't mean to run into you." She was trying to figure out where the weird feeling that lingered was coming from. It was easier to concentrate on that with the voices gone now.

The girl seemed to be a little out of it in his opinion, and Daniel wondered if maybe she was going to attack him. For a second, he thought that he heard her say something, but it must not have been that important as she didn’t repeat it for him to hear it. Thinking that maybe she was in danger or something, the young man looked around to see if there was someone around that looked away rather quickly when they met his eyes, which was a sure sign that the person was suspicious. Alas, there was no one like that around, so Daniel was back to square one as far as that went. It was around this point that he noticed that there was something going on with the girl, and once he noticed that she was starting to disappear on him Daniel came to the conclusion that she was definitely someone that he needed to talk to.

Kneeling down when she began to become visible again, Daniel was trying to figure out how to keep her calm so she didn’t pull something like Marco had done at the café, but nothing was really coming to mind. He really needed to talk to his mother about it or maybe even read a book on the subject of talking to people who distraught over something. The best idea that he could come up with was to smile at her to show the young girl that he was friendly, which would hopefully keep him from getting attacked or something. It would be my luck that I would come across another one that I’d have to worry about getting in a fight with.[/color] Of course, Daniel didn’t sense any hostility coming from the girl, so all he had to worry about was her just vanishing on him. That was when she responded to his question, which at least showed that she was starting to regain control of herself.

”Don’t worry about. It was probably my fault anyway,” Daniel said. Okay, that took care of the start of the conversation, so now all that the young man had to do was figure out how to keep it going without attracting attention or acting as coldly as he had with Marco. Although, he still wasn’t sure that he had been that emotionless with the mad guy, but at the time it had been a bad idea to argue with the guy.

Thinking it over for a bit, Daniel decided that it would probably be a good idea to introduce himself to the young girl. People tended to calm down when names were exchanged. ”My name is Daniel Cassidy, and if you are in need of some help then I would be more than glad to oblige. Just try to refrain from disappearing on me. Wouldn’t want someone else to see.”
