"Bad vibes?" Ari murmured. Now that Caroline mentioned it, Ari could feel it too. Starting with Musica's aura. Something was different... it felt more oppressive than before. She remembered what he said about Nikolaus. Had they made a mistake? "Yeah," Ari said, "I feel them too... it's nothing to be scared of, though. This school has top-notch defensive spells!"

Nikolaus was sitting curled up in the closet rocking back and forth like a metronome. Perfectly in a constant time. Many times he resisted the desire to cackle loudly like a banshee, not wanting his presence known just yet. He looked up and around at all the clothes in her closet, not seeing anything particularly eye catching. "Hmmm, this girl needs something more revealing. No fun being a nun everywhere you go." He thought to himself as he looked around. He heard their small talk in the other room, knowing that it was all just avoiding the elephant in the room. Eventually someone would detect Nikolaus in her closet, and then he would come out and enjoy himself properly with what he hoped were two fine ladies. If not at least he'd have one for himself, since he had practically almost claimed her minutes ago.

"Wrong!" the word flew from Aphrodite's lips as she sat with Adonis on her balcony. Wrong. Something had gone terribly amiss in the girl's dorms, yet Evermore and Ares were not present. Who was? She focused... and found that it was the blind girl called Ari. She and that demigod, Musica? Except, this was not him. No... she quickly felt his aura diminish greatly as the pair got intimate, and a new aura flare in Musica's absence. This. Was. Not. Good. Aphrodite tensed, and Adonis' arms tensed around her in response. This girl, Ari, did not seem aware her young lover had tragically vanished... how deliciously tragic. Biting her lip, she decided not to overtly meddle. Ari would come to her soon enough anyway... might as well give her another nudge. Aphrodite could use the favor.
Sitting up from her perch, Aphrodite extended her mind towards Ari's. Wrong! she murmured to Ari, Wrong, wrong... it's not him!

Ari was conversing with Caroline when a light pink haze slightly blocked out her vision. A side effect? It was then the doubt and paranoia over Musica's aura doubled. Wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong... it's not him! drifted through her mind. After the though ended, the haze faded. It wasn't Musica? It couldn't be... could it? No. Then again, she didn't remember him trembling at all... which seemed to be the tell-tale sign that he was suppressing Nikolaus. Could it be? Could she have just royally screwed things up? Doubt! It nagged her. The only way to find out would be to get Caroline out of the room... and fast. If Nikolaus... no, she didn't even want to think about that. How could she have been so careless?! How could she have just blatantly ignored Musica like that? Stupid hormones. Even if all was well, she wasn't going to let this continue... not until they were both sure Nik was under control.
"Hey, um, Caroline?" she whispered weakly, "I-I hate to do this... but my head still hurts from the lake incident, and I just feel ill. I'd hate to have you catch whatever bug I've got... can I meet you for breakfast tomorrow so we can talk then?" ...and she just wanted to get back to Musica. Who was she kidding? Musica would have said something if he felt Nikolaus getting out of control. She was just being paranoid. There was nothing to worry about.

"Oh..." Caroline said softly, disappointed. She honestly would have liked to talked to Ari. "Well, alright then..."
Should she? Or shouldn't she? The girl chewed on her lip nervously as she stood up. She really should, she decided. After all, what could a top-notch defensive spell system do for threats already inside the school? Caroline could just go report what she felt... But by then, this mysterious aura that was still within the room (and it had been all over the room, it seemed, because the whole room had a 'glow' to it, especially in the closet.) could have done its damage and hurt Ari by then.
"I'm sorry, Ari..."
She should. She would.
"What worries me the most is the other aura in the room... the one that's not mine or yours." Her knees were trembling slightly. She could tell that this other person was extremely powerful - and she had no idea what she was getting into.

Nikolaus was starting to get very bored at this point sitting all by his lonesome in a closet. If those two girls didn't finish whatever discussion they were having about whatever it was he'd just have to make an appearance. Then he felt something else and grinned like a mad man. The obvious presence of a Goddess was somewhere in this school, and he could sense her heightened beauty from here. "Perhaps when I'm done playing with these two, this Goddess would be fun indeed. Might even be worth a two night stand." At this his cackle was audible, and he began rocking to and fro once more. His muscles were now bulging on his body, his eyes glowing pure icy blue, and his silver hair flowed around his shoulders.

Ari heard the cackle, and the wave of unease swept through her again. "Caroline," she said, taking the girl's hand, "Caroline... I'm asking you to trust me. Please... trust me, and just leave. Just meet me for breakfast tomorrow. I don't know what's going on either, but I swear on all the Gods and Goddesses on Olympus I'll tell you all I know tomorrow!"

Caroline immediately whipped her head around to look at Ari's closet. That's where the cackling was coming form. Then, the aura and the cackling were probably from the same person, whoever it was!
"I can't do that, Ari," she said, louder than she intended. Underneath Ari's light grip, Caroline clenched her fist. "I already know there's someone here, someone very powerful. I know that you know too. You might be blind, but you have all your other senses and you're not stupid. Something is up, and if you want me to leave, you're coming with me. I'd be stupid to leave you alone to get hurt."
"Besides, the moment I step outside this room, I'm going to tell the Headmistress - but she probably already knows." Caroline winced at her own words. She never liked coming across as a b***h, but Ari was a nice girl, a good person. She didn't deserve to be left alone to possibly get hurt.

Nikolaus merely laughed darkly at their mention of Olympus. "It's always the Greek Gods and lore isn't it? Tales of battle and tradition of Asgard mean nothing to these people. Perhaps one day they'll learn." He then got up lazily and kicked open the door, still practically nude. The door came off its hinges and flew to the other side of the room. "Sie Sterbliche setzen immer Ihren Glauben in die Olympiere, Brunnen, in dem sie jetzt sind? Asgard passte über ihre Leute auf, anstatt, mit ihren empfindlichen Mentalitäten zu spielen! Ich nehme an, dass Sie nicht irgendwelche über das wissen würden, obgleich, der Geruch der Götter nach Ihren Körpern sehr knapp ist. So knapp nach Ihnen kleines Sterblich als das hybrid." He spoke slowly in his native tongue with his heavy and sluggish footsteps moving towards them. Each step was like lifting a lead weight, and his returned strength was too much for the body at this moment. Nikolaus grimaced at this, but didn't let it bother him too much as he returned to grinning evilly at the two. Even his height increased to be about 6'5.
((Translation: "You mortals always put your faith into the Olympians, well where are they now? Asgard watched over their people, instead of toying with their fragile mentalities! I suppose you would not know any about that though, the scent of Gods is very scarce upon your bodies. More so scarce upon you little mortal than the hybrid." ))

Ari whipped around, loosing all pretense of pretending to be blind now. The man that stepped out of the closet wasn't Musica... it was Nikolaus. "Gods, what have I done!" Ari whispered, "What have I done?!" This was all her fault. She turned around to Caroline. "Caroline... I'm not blind. Not anymore... I don't know why. You need to trust me, and go. Find Evermore, Ares, and Aphrodite. Please!" she begged. Caroline could not get hurt for her mistake.
Ari stood and faced Nikolaus. "M-musica?" she said, her voice wavering slightly. She looked into his eyes, trying to find any hint of the man that was probably buried under Nikolaus' power. "Musica... I'm so, so, so sorry..." she whispered. "I shouldn't have... I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself..." she stuttered with many halts to her speech. All that was racing through her mind now was how to get him back. She screwed this up, she needed to fix it... and if Musica never forgave her, so be it. She would understand... she deserved it. "Bring Musica back, Nikolaus," she murmured, "... please?"

Caroline stared up at the man who barged out of Ari's closet. She was shocked, confused, frightened. And, she could understand his German, never mind the fact this strange man was almost nude.
"Olympians... No, no, what?" She had heard what Ari told her. "Who's Ares? Aphrodite?"
She stood up slowly, preparing to flee. "W-What?"

"Aphrodite, Caroline! She's here... please! You can feel her, can't you? Find her! Find Evermore! GO," Ari snapped at her. She didn't mean to be mean, but she was trying to recall everything Musica had told her about Nikolaus. He killed things he didn't find beautiful... that was the main thing. Beauty was based on perception... so in other words, it was tailored to his personality. What if he didn't find Caroline beautiful? She couldn't end up dead because of Ari's mistake... if he didn't find her pretty enough, whatever. She deserved to die for this. "Muisca... I'm sorry..." she whispered again, close to crying.
Ari had to distract Nikolaus... keep him close and away from other girls that might be considered 'ugly' by him. She would do anything.

He looked down from his towering height into the eyes of the girl moments before he'd been about to screw the brains out of her. His face took on a scowl at her pathetic begging, becoming now slightly less attractive to whom by doing so. "Sie pathetisches Mädchen, was lassen Sie mich denken würden geben überhaupt meinen Körper zurück zu sich? Ich war in diesem Körper, es gehöre rechtmäßig mir geboren." He spoke as he raised a his hand up in the air and brought it back down across her face.
Passing her by once more slowly he walked over to the hybrid girl and smirked. "Nicht sind Sie eine recht wenige Sache? Sie sollten nicht von mir Kind laufen lassen. Ich kann sehr viel bilden Sachen wert Ihre wann." Nikolaus said as he reached up the very hand which slapped Ari's up to run a finger across her young face. All the while he laughed in his maniacal manner.
((Translation 1: You pathetic wench, what makes you think I would ever give my body back to itself? I was born in this body, it rightfully belongs to me.
Translation 2: Are not you a pretty little thing? You should not run from me child. I can make things very much worth your while ))

It was almost like a movie. His hand fell across her face, and she spun around in a half circle, eyes comically wide with shock. She then crumpled to the ground. Oh. Hell. No. Musica or not, this guy wouldn't get away with slapping her, and hurting Caroline. "Go Caroline! GO," she begged her. Ari quickly got to her feet, and flung out a hand in a slashing motion. Something loud and crescent shaped shot outwards from her, and knocked the man off his feet. "Laß sie in Ruhe!!"
(Leave her alone!)

Caroline took a step back from the man. Anything to put distance between her and him. She was shaking, and her eyes were wide. "I... I...."
She closed her eyes, searching any other similarly vast auras. Ari said she would be able to feel Aphrodite, which Caroline interpreted as 'another person who was very powerful'. She wanted to run, run away so badly, but she was so scared. She was petrified, unable to move.
"How could you slap her...?"
