Assassins. Logan. Kidnapping. It was a lot to take in. It took everything Zal had not to just abandon the Academy, despite his love for Jess. Well, I could always take her with me, right? he thought for-lonely, but he knew that wasn't fair. What about the others? And.. what if it was Jess? He couldn't bare the thought.
Zalman sat in his own world on a bench in the courtyard, oblivious to the bright-eyed young woman approaching him, let alone the half-bloods roaming the halls.

Lauren had a little breakdown in the courtyard. Grant was the first to experience her like that. So much rage was built up inside her. Some of it didn't make sense and that made her even more mad that the answers weren't right in front of her. She really needed those answers to keep sane(feels like I gave Sunny an idea to have Shadow kidnap Lauren so Lauren could get more info on what was going on xD Nuuu!). Her feeling was pretty much dead. The only person she would have to look out for was herself... and maybe Zalman. Of course, she worried about the other students. Lauren noticed Zalman sitting on a bench in the courtyard while she was roaming the halls. Suddenly, she walked out the backdoor and walked over to the winged half-blood. She didn't say anything and took a seat on the bench, looking over at Zalman. He looked like he was daydreaming like most half-bloods were during this time. They were all worried and wondering what to do or maybe even finding someone to put up for a sacrifice if that was Shadow's intentions. Lauren looked back in front of her and sat there in silence. Her soft lips parted and she said, "You must be troubled by what is happening. You are worried about her, aren't you? It's only natural for you to feel that way." However, Lauren didn't quite feel that way. None of their deaths would've meant anything to her. They were strangers to her but that didn't mean she didn't have a heart. She was worried about the people around her as well. She just wouldn't be that heartbroken about it. Zalman Artar |

Startled, Zalman turned around with shock. When he realized the newcomer was a friend, he sighed and nodded. "Jess is capable of protecting herself in most situations, I know, but I can't help but worry about her," he admitted, shifting around to face Lauren. It was nice to have friends. After all, who else were you to turn to if the person you cherished most in your life wasn't around?
"How are you holding up?" Zal pondered. He didn't want to bore Lauren with the details of his own concerns.

"Even if she is best at what she does, you can't be too sure that they'll be able to get herself out of the most difficult situations." Yes, even if you are a stunt expert, you could make a mistake and that mistake could be deadly. Lauren did not mean to scare Zalman even more and make him worry for Jess. She was telling him the truth. She didn't mean he had to watch Jess 24 hours every day of the week. The neko shrugged her shoulders in response to his question. "I guess I'm okay. It doesn't really bother me for some reason. I'm worried for the others because killing people is a wrong thing, but I have myself to look after.
I'm glad I don't have to worry about someone as much as you worry about your girlfriend." He probably thinks I'm heartless for saying that... I don't care. Worrying about someone that much could be trouble, but it could also be a nice feeling in some way. A nice feeling of having something to live for and protect. Lauren sighed and leaned back on the bench a little bit. "I wonder if this will ever blow over... Maybe Shadow is just getting started."

After grunting in acknowledgement to her first selection of words, Zalman swallowed out of nervous unease. "I doubt she's done," he muttered.
|Ugh, sorry it's short. Stomach cramps|

"Shadow... is a girl?" Shadow was a common name that guys liked to use. It could also be used by a girl. I wonder if she wanted us to think she was a guy. The kidnappings had been slowing down. It was starting to get quiet in the forest. Then, Zalman said that he doubted Shadow was done. Typical... The girl was either crazy or she had lost a loved one because of the half-bloods. "Lemme guess.. She's a human, isn't she?" Her question was followed with a harsh tone- almost a snap. "I don't like humans.."

"Don't jump to conclusions," Zalman warned after nodding his agreement to Shadow being a girl. "We'd all like to assume she's a human, but I'm just saying, you can't be sure. It could be anyone.." Zal trailed off when he realized he might sound a little like he was protecting Shadow and shrugged. "I'm just saying."

Lauren did not like it when Zalman said that. Shadow could've been a human. Why would a half-blood go against their own kind anyway? That would be ridiculous unless they really hate their kind and themselves. It didn't make sense. Zalman was probably just saying that to make sure Lauren didn't let her guard down around the other students. He could be right. There could've been some bad half-bloods that sided with a human or took it upon themselves to attack the others. If there were half-bloods involved, they must want to rule Animalia and be the strongest half-bloods ever known. "Ugh, you're right. So, um... do you like humans?" Zalman Artar |

The albino shrugged, licking his lips when he realized they were dry. "Depends," he responded matter-of-factually, "If their in favor of us. Like, if their working alongside the HBES, I'm not going to go out and be friends with them, though if their, well, nice, I guess, I'd be willing to at least try and get to know them. You know what I mean?"
