[Revenge, revenge! XD]
The animagus ran swiftly through the corridors in the body of the fairly white kanine, similar to his own godchild's. And now she had simply vanished from where he had told her to stay until he came back seeing how couldn't simply walk her through the corridors. There was the fairly large pair of wings attached to her back and the pale green skin that everyone would notice once they laid eyes on Alice. Gabriel had known better than to leave Alice alone and with directions, it was almost a habit of hers to bounce out of line. Somehow it wasn't that she was alone and didn't listen to him, it was the thought of Brige finding Alice in her current state that had been bothering Gabriel once returning to the curtains to find nothing. The man could do great things once he got his hands on something valuble and Brige's full attention was to bring harm to Garbiel and Alice. Even the story why wasn't much of a secert seeing how Brige once had great respect for Clarissa until she broke a few rules that she herself had build to allow Gabriel to remain hidden in the castle.
His four paws hit the marble floor with a soft click! and then a clack!, something that Gabriel himself found quite hard to refrain from landing harder on the floor to make the same sound. He had just then took another turn to find himself staring down a full corridor of students, bending his ears back while his tail cowered to the ground. There was absolutely no way he'd walk through that crowd and have his tail or ears pulled again by the giggling crowd of girls like last time. Then again this was all for Alice so Gabriel faced the discision of taking a slight detour through the crowd. Gabriel sat highly on the ground, all four legs standing proudly while his long mouth opened into a snarl and barked madly, hoping to get the same reaction from the students nearest that cowered away from the students in the back. The animagus had just then ran through the crowd, barking as he still snarled to his left, then his right to scare back students. It wasn't rude, but nessecary.
Several paintings snickered from above where Gabriel sat, still a kanine, against the wall trying to think of where Alice would have gone or where Brige currently was. The figures painted on the canvas pointed at him, calling him 'Snuffles' while others simply pretending to wave a bone at Gabriel who hadn't liked the jokes at all. They had thought of him lower now, seeing how he would now be working here at the school rather than hiding in the shadows. This life seemed rather boring to him and was partly glad that Alice had caused some trouble for him to clean up. He had made a request to Clarissa to even find him a job that wasn't standing infront of a class all day and lecturing people over something stupid such as 'Vanishing Potion' or anything of the sort. Gabriel seemed to rather be hunted than to be innocent, something that most paintings had heard from Clarissa in her office.
Ah, the old fool is finally out and about. He was, Brige that is, was now striding through the corridors with a rather strange grin on his face. Perhaps he had found something out, something important that would end his hunger to do something destructive. The animagus still hadn't been sighted by Brige and crept on after him, carefull not to catch attention of any students who were fond of pets. It had been long since Brige stopped in the corridor, seeming confused of where he was going and then took another left, almost hestitant. Brige had then stopped once more, looking back at the other turn the corridor made. Where the hell are you actually going in the first place?, yelled Gabriel to himself. His black eyes were focoused on the feet of Brige, awaiting them to continue their walk. This was too boring, almost killing Gabriel on the inside who longed to find out where Brige was going.
There was the strange occurance of Brige wondering outside, looking slightly more pale in the sun than inside the castle. Gabriel himself had never seen the man wander off outside, something that made the animagus more keener in finding out where Brige was going. Students had also seemed to notice the rare occurance of Brige strolling outside, some murmoring while others where threatened by Brige with detentions. The teacher had then wandered off behind the school to a set of dumpsters, kicking aside bags. He had then left looking slightly disappointed while Gabriel stayed behind a bag thinking to himself, Why would Brige even come out to the dumpsters? Was he looking for something maybe? Most unlikely...
The aura of another aura that felt related to him swam to the air to reach his animal sixth sense, almost pleading for attention while it continued to grasp at the sense. Strangest thing was that this aura came from the large dumpster that had been shut, looking almost impacted from strong winds or just rough playing from fights. Whether it had been or not, Gabriel didn't give it much time to think about and instead shifted to human, patting out the creases in his new cloaks and jeans, then the white tee that had an arrow pointing down. He hadn't been given much clothing from Clarissa who promised to order more for Gabriel, seeing how she had a younger brother who wasn't much older than Gabriel. The animagus then ingored the dirt stain on the leg of his jeans, lifting up the roof of the dumpster to find a mutated Alice staring back at him, grinning dumbly while removing a banana peel from her wings in disgust.
"Why the hell are you in a dumpster? At least have some pride and hide somewhere with intelligence, not just anywhere, kiddo," chuckled Gabriel softly, shooting glances to students behind him while throwing his own cloak over Alice, quickly tightening the string that held his long black hair together as his godchild covered up. "What gave you the idea to not hide behind those curtains I told you to?"
"It felt stupid to be hiding somewhere while Brige kept on muttering rude things about me. Stupid bloke, who does he even think he is? Did you even find out why Kaleb went looking for Themrus while you were out and about?" asked Alice, stepping out of the dumpster still very well covered to find tissue paper attached to the bottom of her shoes. "Well?"
"It really doesn't matter, we need to get you fixed first before anything..." The shape shifter had known better than to argue with her godfather for once he gave his final word it was the final except for recieving instructions from him. Then it was everyone for themselves. Most students hadn't even thought of why Gabriel who take a cloaked piece of 'stick' inside the school with him where he changed the story to a dead 'Man-Eating Plant' that he had found infront of the school. To anyone, it didn't really matter for no one paid attention to it all. It had given Alice a knew outlook of most students just didn't care or were slow on the mind.
"This is it or it should be..." Gabriel whispered, kicking open a door which revealed the darkest light and the coldest breeze Alice had ever experienced, feeling herself being put down on a moist warm chair while several lights could be heard turned on. The animagus had lifted the cloak from Alice's head, letting her keep it as he said to someone else in the room, "Ah, Abigalle. So you really made it. I thought Themrus wasn't expecting you last week."
"Well, you see some things change rapidly such as the heat in this room. Turn off that damned heater before I blast your head off! I most take on the climate change rather slowly than most people and you should've known that," hissed a femine voice behind the shape shifter. "Now, now. What have you brought me this time?"
"Alice, my godchild." The voice from Gabriel was suddenly protective as the chair was turned around for the shape shifter to face a woman, a very attractive woman whose face was pale, her elegant cheeks outlined with her pitch black hair while a thick bush of her bangs was pink, a very bright and neon pink. Dark eyeliner outlined her eyes while she wore a thick amount of purple lip stick, something that Alice found rather eye catching. The woman, Abigalle, then whispered back with a grin, "Rather ugly thing, isn't she?"
"That's not what she looked like before this morning so watch it Abigalle," growled the animagus, seating next to Alice. "Can't you do anything before Brige finds out about this damned mess? If not my ass is roast."
"I've saved your and Themrus's asses plenty of times so you hush. It'll be simple but'll we need a few things from Brige's office along with Ulthar's methods." Abigalle had crossed her legs, her black cloaks swaying in the cold breeze that swept through the room. Her finger nails had been painting a deep blue, the same color of her eyes. This was Themrus's sister then. This was the teacher that was to teach Alice how to protect herself from intruders.

In the office at the end of the corridor where not too many students had wandered was the office of Clarissa Agretto who stood over her cauldron, throwing in books that meant nothing to her and papers that had sketches of old plans to hide Gabriel. Nothing was needed anymore, nothing at all. She had expected a very chaos year with a Verae, a killer, and a recarnation of an old wizard which was perhaps her own mistake. A mistake that Clarissa would never regret in her life for it had taught her new things and she loved to have the two girls in her school. Kaleb, her son, had now even seemed more happier than before. Perhaps it would be foolish to no think that Alice and Kaleb were close friends, just as Premidas and Kanni were. Yet now the new student's father had exited, leaving Clarissa's feelings low as ever with an urge to kill.
"I'll show that man who can't be principle! I do my job very well mind him! Isn't that correct, Dr. Vagne?" Clarissa was now speaking to a portrait who was leaning against the canvas, yawning as he answered, "Of course Clarissa, of course you do your job very well or else this school would be in ruins."The woman nodded her head, throwing more books into the cauldron as a could of smoke engolfed Clarissa's face. She had just then felt another memory drift of to her, another thought that had seemed very informing at the moment...
