The white haired you g woman made her way quickly to the lake as was per planed between her and Claire. The little event with Rose Snow and Claire didn't go as planned. Everyone seemed to be so on edge that it was starting to be suffocating for her. But Angel promised Claire that day of announcing Kevin's death that she would help Claire with whatever. Angel sat by the lake and looked around at the scenery. She planned on getting the truth one way or another. Even if she had to be insensitive for a bit. She wouldn't allow what was going on to keep going on. The academy had become more like a grave yard then the exciting an happy academy it started out to be. ( Claire Blakely) |

The half-blood was uneasy, and she knew it. Claire couldn't bring herself to muster enough courage to face Rosemary about what was troubling her, let alone Angelica, and heaven forbid, Cece. Oh, no. She couldn't bare the idea herself. Could she keep her dark secret contained? It was time to find out.
Claire stepped from behind the trees. She had been sitting there for a while, wanting to study Angelica's movements and expressions and smell for any trace of emotion, but her nose was all stuffed up from crying earlier. Blinking redness from her eyes and calming herself, she half skipped, half fast-walked to her friend and plopped down beside her, acting as cheery as she could.
"Okay, what's up?" Wow, terrible intro.

She quickly looked over at her friend and studied her a moment. "That's what I wanna know." She commented softly. "I apologize for the little meeting going wrong. Everyone seems to be on edge lately." She picked up a rock and plunked it in the lake. "Tell me."

Truth pierced Claire like a thorn, a pain and annoyance she was desperate to scratch away. But she couldn't tell. Not ever. Not to her walls or to her reflection, or even a diary. Perhaps depression would sink into her heart, and perhaps not, but she would struggle on to keep the rest of Animalia Academy safe, even if that meant leaving it's care and disappearing from the deeply-loved school.
Claire shrugged, careful to avoid Angelica's eyes if she had looked her way. "I know Rosemary's a little off right now, but what do you mean?" She asked, finding a perfect skipping stone and tossing it across the lake; four skips. Nice.

She sighed. "Claire, I'm not going to walk over eggshells with you." She turned her gaze to her friend. "I swore to you the day of Kevin's death announcement that I would help you and carry the burden so you wouldn't have to. All of it. But I can't help you if you dot tell me what's going on. Something is wrong here and your not acting like yourself." She frowned. "I'm going to be blunt here. You can't lead this academy if your being affected just as bad as everyone else here." She stated firmly. "All of that can be avoided if you allow me to help you."

Angelica was right. Claire knew it, but fury boiled behind her eyes. How dare she! But ice was added to the soup, and it melted to spoil the anger. And Angelica was right in every way. But... she didn't know that Claire had passed the death itself.
"You're right," Claire said simply, plopping down on the shore and turning a sharp stone over in her hands. Like my life, she thought. Maybe if I rub it to shine enough, it will be smooth. I just need to start somewhere. "It's not Kevin's death directly that hurts, Angel. It's something more. Something I can't.. I can't bring myself to pass quite yet." She looked up, assuming it might be the last time she might ever meet Angelica's gaze without seeing fury and mistrust and hate.
"I don't want to tell you because it will ruin him. And me, of course, but mostly Kevin's memory. I don't have to. We can pretend this never happened, and I'll push it down into my gut and it will never come up. Just.. it's up to you." Claire gulped. Was she making the right choice? She, at least, deserves to know the truth.

She listened silently and frowned, turning her gaze at the water. "As part of the council I don't like that decision. That side of me is telling me to get the truth from you and settle this unease. But because I'm also your friend, I want you to know that pushing it away will NOT solve any of the problems. It'll only hurt you in the long run." She sighed. "I get you want to keep the trust for whoever...but there are more people's trust and lives at stake here. If its something so important that you have to hide it away like this..." She shook her head. "You have to think of the other people that are here." She looked at her again seriously. "Is whatever your holding back going to affect the safety if this academy or its students?"

|Lets pretend and confirm that the spell to resurrect Kevin DIDN'T work, since he will no longer be RPing|
Right again, but not in the way that works, she thought, disappointment creeping through her heart. Claire let herself think for a moment, an ache drilling into her voice when she prepared to speak. "I- maybe. I think I need to keep it from everyone but I- they- I don't know. Would they want to see the monster? Or let themselves live in peace?" Claire began, mostly to herself. But she looked up after a few moments and, tears in the corners of her eyes, she let herself tell Angelica.
"You might want to sit down. Who knows what you'll think?" Claire said, instantly regretting it. Angelica was a good friend, and likely, she wouldn't hold the truth too harshly against her.
"Rosemary and I- we were over at my dorm, just working, and we started to skim through the books when we cam upon an old spell book my old folks gave me before they- well, died. For fun we tested one - and it worked! Then as we continued looking through it, we realized it contained a spell for...." Claire took a breath and closed her eyes. "For resurrection. And it didn't work! Oh, God, it didn't work!" Claire opened her eyes and cried, speaking in gasps. "I had to rip out his heart! His heart from his corpse that I had to dig up! I- I couldn't- I can't I-" And so she cried, face between her legs, tensing for whatever attack came, verbal or physical, or silence. It would all be bad, she was sure. And so the monster was showing itself.

Aw)
She listened to her friend babble. Her brows furrowing in confusion. What was Claire ranting about with all her gibberish. Until she finally spot it out. A spell, she and Rose did a smell to bring the dead to life. But not just anyone's Kevin's. at the thought of ripping his heart out after bringing him back; failed or success made her own heart constrict painfully.
Her jaw clenched so tightly she feared her teeth would shatter. But despite the turmoil inside of her. Her voice was surprisingly soft and calming when she spoke. "Claire...you tried to bring Kevin back?" She commented more as a fact then a question. "Why?" She tried to meet the girl's eye. "It's against the laws of nature. The dead stay dead." She stated in her soft voice but enough firmness to get her point across. "What where you thinking?..."

Claire clenched her fists around her jet black hair at the scalp and pulled her legs closer to her face. Mascara smeared, but her heart shattered more than ever. "I-I w-was thinking of-v Cece!"" She blurted between trying to gain control of her breathing. "And evarywon e-elzze. Sceeing dem so upset b-broke me, and-d I- I just cant be running a school of d-death!!" More wailing of failure came forth, muffled but still agonizing.

The older girl quickly took Claire's hands from her head and pulled her to her. Wrapping her arms around the shaky girl and Gently rocking her back and forth while shushing her. "Claire, your intentions where good..." She sighed. "But such things happen in life. People die all around us but we move on." She closed her eyes. "Long ago when I was small, my parents died in a car accident. Leaving me with my younger sister. There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't miss them. I've thought so many times what if I had talked them I to staying home instead of going out to shop for dinner. If I did this or if I did that. I wanted them back...but I knew that their death meant something." She pulled the girl away from her slightly to look her in the eye. "Death is a chain reaction for the events of the future. My parents died Claire. If they hadn't I wouldn't be here today I'd still be living my life at home like any other normal young woman or something like that. Kevin's death meant to happen Claire. As harsh as that sounds its part of life. It's just another puzzle piece falling Into place." She stated.
How could she make the girl understand what she was saying. It hurt everyone with Kevin's death. But Claire messed with the powers of nature and that wasn't ok. The balance had been off kilter because of it.
"You as well as everyone else will move on....you have to. Kevin wouldn't want you to be like this..would he want you to try and bring him back? Would it help any?"

Claire let herself be cocooned by care, and slowly her sobbing died down to a weak whimper and shivering. She supposed that the things Angelica said were true, but she thought she had been doing the better. And to her it seemed that she had ruined the world of Animalia. "I-I guess?" She murmured, avoiding Angelica's eyes for a moment. "I don't know. I d-didn't know him well. But I kn-know Cece and I just wanted to b-bring her friend back."

She smiled sadly. "What's done is done and we shouldn't change the past. Like I said. Death is only a puzzle piece." She replied. "Next time...please f your going to do something as serious as this, tell me. Either I will help you or I'll smack some sense into you." Sh gave a small smile. "I'm part of the council too you know. You aren't the only one who needs to know this stuff." She tried to be a bit more cheery. "Besides, I can't help you if you hide stuff from me."

An ache still throbbed inside Claire, but she knew there was no ice to heal a broken heart. "Thanks," She said simply, whipping her eyes with the balls of her palms. If death is a puzzle piece, what is the picture? It can't be life because that's living.. Oh well. That's a mystery of nature, I suppose. "Hey, uh, I w-was thinking. People might still be a little wigged out with the whole death thing that was happening. What if, since Halloween is coming up, we do a little school dance? It's been too long since we have had one." Claire was, after all, honest about the subject, but she wanted to have something else to fill he mind while she settled down.

She smiled and nodded. "Sure that sounds like a wonderful idea! And since we have several new members that had joined this would be a wonderful opportunity to meet them." She agreed

Claire smiled a little. "Great! And, uh, maybe you could come over tomorrow to help print off posters or something? We could put it on ourselves, if you'd like- or, if you, uh, don't want to help that's fine also." She blurted, feeling way better. What would she wear? And would Animalia celebrate Halloween? How would that work if they did? We'll have to have the school's first Animalia Academy Student Council meeting!

She giggled. "That's be fine! And then we can go grab lunch afterwards or something." She smiled contently. "Would it be weird for a canine to dress up as a cat?" She mused with a chuckle

"Bye!" Claire called, ready to go write out her feelings before sundown. With a half-grin, she wandered away to her dorm.
|Want me to make thread? yeah, I'll do it|
|NVM need to go eat real quick BRB. Can you make thread while I'm gone? Sorry, I know you just made this one|
