Pain tung nearly every piece of flesh that belonged to the shape shifter who attempted to walk through the corridors on her own with one arm around her godfather's neck. Several students had just greeted her and stared Gabriel down, expecting the man to be another new teacher who had just came to the school. There was no face from Premidas, Kanni or Kaleb, making Alice feel slightly depressed after she finally got on her own two feet like an infant. Snoop had even been sent to retrieve Kaleb somewhere from the building, coming across the two and brushing them away to walk straight through the crowd behind them. Several students were now, even a month early, considering what to decorate at the Halloween Ball that Clarissa had already planned, triggering a memory from Kaleb who had described his mother was crazy about holidays.
   "Shit!" Alice's legs gave in once more under her, bringing her down to the ground while Gabriel staggered over his own steps in attempt to save Alice from falling. The bones in her legs were still shaky from Abigalle's basin trick, sending a shiver down the girl's spine as she stood back up on her own. Her head buzzed and she craved for sleep, nearly forgetting her own purple eye in the reflection of the windows and suddenly remembered the reason why everyone had been paying attention to her eyes. Gabriel had really noticed, pointing at birds sitting on the windows with a toothy grin and a much more cheerfull mood than his godchild. "Kiddo look at this instead of your legs and floor! Reminds me of the birds that we used to get when you were still little!"
   She only smiled lightly with a strong attempt, feeling Gabriel lift her up from her feet and sit her on his own shoulders, pointing out the birds. They were indeed strange, just like the stares Alice began to recieve from portraits who snickered and pointed while motherly figures praised the gesture from Gabriel. The two were now looking out of the window, Alice's legs feeling much better as her godfather had just put her down to answer the calling from Mrs. Taint who called, "Gabriel! Come down to Clarissa's office! She has something to speak something with you!"
