Knowledge is Power

[Nix]

After going through all the aisles in the library, after all the time he spent gazing upon book and upon book. Nix had finally found himself a book that he'd take the time to read. Another book on human anatomy, he had already read one of those but maybe there was something different in this one. He carefully tucked the book to his left side as he made way towards the librarian to sign it out. He had always liked the library, it was a nice quiet place. Nix had always enjoyed silence. If there was any talk at all in such a place, it tends to be either gossip or interesting information. Information was always good.

One time he had heard a rumor about a teacher going out with a student, as such he investigated into the matter to see whether it was true or not and it turned out to be the lather. He was hoping it'd be true so that he'd be able to blackmail the teacher for easy marks. Though as he was about to exist the last aisle, he heard of two other students conversing with one another.

You know that Nix, Ponlanski?

It's Pawlowski[/b]

Nix said in his own mind, not wanting to come out until he knew what they were talking about him. So he stood idle as he heard the guy whisper quietly to his friend.

I heard he's into drugs, how else do you explain his huge-ass body?

Typical, of course people are talking about him in such a way behind his back.

[Vix]

Vix was walking silently down the halls. He had finally reached the library when he saw a taller boy, not as tall as himself though, checking out a book. He could sense a bit of apathy masking slight anger coming off the boy. He assumed it had something to do with the two that were sitting at a table just a few yards away from the check-out desk. One nodded and whispered something Vix couldn't hear. He shook his head. Gossip. It disgusted him. So he ignored it, as much as he could possibly manage. He opened the drop-box to return his books and was setting it in as he heard the other one giggle. She announced, "I know, it's the only way that would make sense!" a little too loudly for a library voice and was hushed by the librarian. Vix rolled his eyes. He let his books that he was returning fall in and he glanced inside the library, debating whether he wanted to go in and get another book or just make due with the books he still had back at his dorm.

[Nix]

How long has it been...? A week? It seems as if it'd been a week since his last fight, he might as well pick a fight with the both of them. Two versus one wouldn't give them any actual advantages and they wouldn't just take him on unless they were brave or if they were provoked. Time to do as such. Nix walked out of the aisle he had been hidden in the entire time and passed those two that were starting to spread rumors about him. He saw that the girl gave him a quick glance and looked down unto the floor, her friend looked behind and saw Nix walking by as if he had heard nothing.

He suddenly stopped, which caused the girl to jump a bit in surprise. Pathetic. Nix knew whom they were, Alexander and Anna. He knew about their parents, grades, friends, what they excelled in and what they were bad in. With his back turned away, he spoke in a soft tone as if he was speaking to himself.

Hmm... I remembered this kid called Alexander... I believe his parents had split with one another because they just didn't want to deal with their own child. His mother lost the case and ended up with the problem child. Man, I don't envy the woman. So as to cope with reality she began drinking a lot more and eventually resorted to prostitution. Man she was fine the other night.

Nix had calmly said as he chuckled a bit, the boy Alexander was angry all right. You could see it on his face, gritting his teeth, tightening his fists. Just on the urge to snap. Nix then looked behind him by the shoulder and with a smile said.

Well if it isn't the problem child in the flesh, tell your mother that I'll pay tomorrow. At your house. In her bed.

That did it, he finally charged on straight ahead towards Nix, ready to punch him. Though this wasn't all just yet, just before the fist connected. Nix slammed the boy down unto the floor, as the librarian left the library for lunch or some other reason. He gazed at the girl and smiled some more. He was using his ability to make her come over to him by changing the vector value of the floor he was touching upon. Which he then turned into what would best describe it as a automatic stairway. To him and her friend Alexander. Nix then quietly told her to...

Hit your friend yourself if you don't wanna get hurt.

So out of fear she started beating him, she cried during the entire time she started pounding on him. His face had swollen, there were bruises and of course there was some blood. She soon then stopped due to all the fear she was experiencing, she couldn't stop crying. Soon she'd be gasping for air. Nix's book finally fell as he bent down to try to get to her eye level and he had moved his hand toward her face. The book fell from his side and opened up the page of the human eye.

[He's gonna pop out her eye if you don't help.]

[Vix]

Vix watched in silence as the boy who was being talked about started mumbling, as he stood with his back to the two sitting at the table. Vix didn't know what he was saying but it angered the boy, and frightened the girl. He didn't panic at first. Everyone gets upset sometimes. He felt no need to intervene, yet. He stepped closer, but stayed out of sight. He listened, and started to feel the hair on the back of his neck stand up. This was going to get messy, fast. Vix froze when the boy who was sitting charged at the one who was mumbling. He was too shocked to do anything. He couldn't regain himself until after the girl had been forced to beat one of the boys bloody, and the boy who had yet to be touched was reaching for her face. Vix took in what was happening. He absorbed what he could from the situation and sent out a calming sensation, relaxing them. The anger flooded out of the boy, and the pain from the one who was on the ground. The girls fear was swept away and she blinked twice. They all stood confused, not quite grasping what had just occurred or why.

[Nix]

As his hand reached over towards the girls eye, he had stopped his hand from going any further. He was at a mess with his own feelings, he was angry, frustrated and they seemed to just disappear all of a sudden. Why was this...? The girl didn't even look afraid anymore, even her tears stopped flowing down her cheeks. Though... it wasn't about if he was angry or not anymore. He's a sadist, an extreme one. Now that's he started to experience the thrill from seeing the boy getting beaten down by his own friend. He was too excited to stop now, even more for what he had thought of.

He was gonna do it, nobody was around to see it. He could pass it around as a double suicide too... His hand continued to reached towards the girl's face, to her left eye. The girl should be recuperating from the pain in the stomach... He read it in a book once, when a person experiences extreme fear their stomach overproduces its own stomach acid causing pain to the person. So he went for it, his left hand went for her left eye, thumb and index grabbing lightly and all he had to do now was push in with his thumb and the eye would just fall out... It was supposedly to feel like blood with how it felt murky, but yet not. He wondered what the sensation would feel like in his hand...

[Vix]

Vix made sure to grab his phone and snap a quick picture of the scene before either the boy or girl could move from the position they were in. He could use it for evidence later. He stepped into the library, making sure to keep them and himself calm and composed. "What's going on here?" He asked, looking wide eyed at the boy who was on the ground. He made a bit of fear show in his eyes, looking at the boy who was still standing close to the girl. Even from the distance it was clear if he stepped closer he'd tower over the boy. He glanced back down the hallway, and saw the librarian and another professor making their way to the library. They were a while a way and were walking slowly but were coming all the same. "You might want to get the straightened out before they get here..." He said, his voice barely above a whisper.

[Nix]

Damn... I was interrupted... I just need a little bit more...

This hindrance... he just needed a little more. But the thing was... he wasn't in control of the situation, who had the hostages? Nix did. What did that guy had? Just saw Nix use self-defense on the boy and then seen the girl beat her friend down...? That's no actual proof. Then again he does have his thumb and index on her eye... All he needed to do was snap a photo and submit it to the authorities. But Nix had hostages, if the guy was a good person he'd secure their safeties before exposing Nix to the authorities. But he just realized something... he was slightly afraid of the guy. Sure he was tall... but that would never be enough to even slightly scare Nix.

Whatever, time to get the show on the road.

Explain the situation? Why, the guy on the floor threw himself out at me. So in self-defense, I slammed him down to the floor. Then the girl just started beating him, once she dropped to her knees crying I reached out my hand to help.

Help myself that is...

Nix had said that with a straight face, as he relaxed his left hand and let it drop to the floor and he had slowly gotten up. If this guy would continue giving Nix any trouble, he'll show the tall-y who's in charge of the situation...

Well, I'll be going now. I've included myself in this quarrel too much already.

[Vix]

Vix nodded. "You know, someone's going to find out about this, and the authorities are going to get involved. We're going to be questioned, running doesn't seem to be the best idea." He said. "And last I checked, you don't help people by trying to grab their eye." He made sure to keep the boy calm, unknowing of what he could do. He knew if he wanted to, in an instant he could make the boy believe he was insanely happy for a ridiculous reason, which ought to be enough of a distraction for Vix to either get out or get help. "Plus, if we leave now, and no one finds out soon enough, who's to say that boy won't bleed out of go into a coma. We best not run off so soon. He looks to be already out cold, and I doubt that girl is in any state to be thinking clearly enough to seek help."

[Nix]

That's perfect, I'll lure him in and once he's within arms reach I can just grab him and reverse his blood flow... His organs would stop functioning. Then, I'll just make his dead body strangle the both of them. No evidence that it was me

That's true, I myself haven't been thinking clearly with all that had happened today. But you're right, this boy is clearly in need of help. Quickly come help me get the both of them to the nurse's office.

His arms were around one feet and five inches long, he just needed that much space between them and then it'll be fine. He looked back unto the girl, who appears as if she had fainted from all the excitement and went ahead to help the boy. He didn't think he could bring himself to help her out, he had always disliked girls in the first place. He gently lifted the boy up while keeping his gaze upon him and he tried to look worried. He looked over to the boy's direction discretely to know when he should strike.

Then he hoisted Alexander unto his back, got him to put his arms around his neck which gave the appearance of him giving a piggy back ride. He mistakenly used his ability to slightly move Alexander's left arm towards his neck but he soon realized his mistake and stopped. Hoping that the boy wouldn't suspect anything more than moving in his sleep.

[Vix]

Vix didn't trust the boy. He decided, instead of getting the boy to the nurse, he'd the nurse to the boy. He stepped back, and started turning toward the exit. "You seem to have got him, I think I'll just go get the nurse. Okay? Awesome. Thanks." He smiled at the boy, and forced a sudden rush of happiness over the boy. He made sure it was enough to get the boy to smile, although in confusion. Vix was afraid the boy might chase after him once the rush had worn off, so he made sure it would last. At least long enough for Vix to get a good head start. He could probably out run the boy if needed. Vix put on his best panicked face and rushed out the door. He tried not to stumble, still clumsy on his newly long legs. He sped down the hallway, more trying to get away from the boy than to get help for the other one. He made sure h stay in sight of the librarian and other professor.

[Nix]

Nix stood there with the boy, feeling all happy and seeing the boy off to fetch the nurse. He even waved bye and he waited there... Why was he so happy...? Nix just couldn't put his finger on it. He'd randomly get happy, or stop feeling angry and the like ever since he entered the library. Why was it...? he was in the process of thinking. A minute passed. He found out about something. That boy had done something. What exactly he didn't know, but he could somehow control emotional states. He had a ability. His ability seemed to be geared towards defense and support, while Nix's own was more offensive and supportive. He wanted to see... Will the shield fend off the blade?

Let's find out.

Ya-ha!

His scream of temporary insanity roared throughout the hallway where the boy had been running the entire time. The floor was getting harder to get off, it even seemed to be pulling back. His ability was in effect. Nix had dropped Alexander and started to run to the exit but quickly stopped. He had an amusing idea. He could waste time anyway, he dragged both of their bodies and put them into the trash and left a comment.

I forgot that trash belonged in the trash bin.

And so he darted off, Nix had boosted his own speed as well to make him walking seem as if he'd be running, but it was somewhat difficult to keep all those different vector values manipulated so he'd have to act fast to drop one of em. He decided to drop the sliding back toward the library and kept the other two on.

[Vix]

Vix felt a change in the floor with one step, and he knew something was up. He barely glanced back to see the boy coming at him fast, and looked forward to the librarian and professor who were in awe. He took to the air in the next step, throwing himself forward. He pushed his wings out in just enough time to catch him from hitting the floor again. He beat his wings fast, propelling himself past the other two in the hallway fast. He managed to push a few more waves of happiness into the boy, and even a pang of fear, just to throw him off a bit. He turned and was a few turns away before he figured the boy would even be making the first turn. He hadn't a clue where he was headed, but away was good enough for him. He figured if he got to a good place, he would be able to calm the boy enough to talk to him and hopefully resolve something a bit.

[Nix]

He was right about to catch him, just needed a few more inches and he could've gotten him. But all he managed to do was pull a few feathers from those wings of his, he had been concentrating so much on catching him that he nearly rammed himself into a wall. Thus he stopped all his vectors and only focused on stopping himself before getting killed. He managed to do right before hitting the wall. The recoil sent him falling backwards unto those sensitive wings of his. As he fell backward unto the ground he thought of this.

Almost freaking killed myself there... going over a hundred kilometers an hour and hitting a wall wouldn't be good... Wait...

OWWWWW!

Nix just stayed there, lying on the floor, groaning in the pain. His wings were his physical weak point, nobody really knew about such a thing as they expected them to be stronger than the average wing span. Well... he'll probably have to get his wings a look at. He wondered for a second if maybe the nurse will find him soon and treat him. He wasn't ever good at dealing with that kind of pain.

[Vix]

Vix turned, hearing the boy fall after getting close enough to pluck a few feathers. He turned around the hallway and flew back to where the boy was. He made sure not to touch the ground, still afraid of what the boy might be able to do. He hovered over the boy who was clearly in a lot of pain. Even though Vix could've changed that had he wanted to, he didn't. He stayed over the boy, making sure to wipe away his anger constantly, leaving him there feeling nothing but his pain. Vix couldn't tell if he slammed into the wall or stopped short and fell back, but either way he was on the ground. Vix simply glared at the boy at first, then opened his mouth. He started to talk but as soon as he did the professor and librarian were rushing down the hallway. One yelled out. "What's going on here? Why was he chasing you? What happened?" She asked. Vix didn't even know himself. He couldn't entirely explain it, but he probably looked pretty guilty, hovering over the hurt boy. At least they saw that he was the one being chased.

[Nix]

He managed to roll unto his stomach, painfully and very loudly but he had managed to push on through the pain. As he panted from all the exhaustion that built over the chase, he soon realized that there were adults running toward him. Screaming toward him, he turned his head over to the side and saw that the boy was hovering over him, keeping off of the ground and out of his reach. So correction, they were being screamed at. After all that had happened, he was finally caught by the authorities.

He always hated it when they would mess his fun, he had only needed a bit of time to rest up and resume the chase. Why was he chasing him again...? He forgot the reason due to the pain he guessed. The librarian was asking questions now, he guessed he'd answer them so that they would leave them alone. He never saw the boy before, might as well get his information for future references. Tall guy that seemed to be able to manipulate people's feelings. Or would it be more accurate to say one's senses? After some slight pondering, he had gotten up unto his feet putting on a brave face.

Seemingly as if he had never gotten hurt in the first place, in a calm and elegant manner he answered the librarian's questions. Bothersome woman.

Excuse us ma'am, a boy and a girl were fighting and when they stopped the boy lost consciousness due to the beating the other one bestowed upon him, the girl seems as if she had fainted from all the excitement. He went to go get the nurse apparently, I chased after him convinced that he was going elsewhere as the nurse's office was the other way.
