"Sounds like a plan, but where do we even start? I get Heidi is a student, but we will need a sort if idea where those people are keeping her. Now they know we know, we will need a trap or something to take her from them, some way of having them hand her to us." Mo commented once more rubbing his forehead," I doubt they will leave her to walk around unattended now,"

"It is likely they will use Heidi as a weapon again... And force her to go on the offensive." Yuuka said, thoughtfully tapping her chin. "It may be out best option to simply wait for her to appear... and when she does, we must be prepared to strike then and reclaim her for our own."
"Heidi's not... property!" Samantha interjected again, a mild glare in her otherwise weary gaze. "Y, Yes, of course Samantha. I did not mean to imply otherwise, but rather that this is when we should attempt rescue, although... it may involve the use of force. She might be too scared to back down from a fight, for fear of punishment..."

"Erm...sorry., Sam." Mo shook his head before standing, "Well the only thing we can do is wait, and hope no one gets hurt while that happens."
--A few days would pass with no incident whatsoever. Seijin was getting better. and arguing more with the nurse about letting her go home. The girls in the school where meanwhile on their toes. Heidi was nowhere to be seen, and the bad girls where harder and harder to find....

Days later, Samantha found herself sitting alone at a table, outside of the school. The steel bench was warm, thanks to the its time in the sun, making for a nice contrast to the cool wind that blew that day. She was busying herself working on homework, and leaning an elbow over her papers to prevent them being carried off by the wind. She let out a sigh. Despite her best attempts, Samantha could not curb her worry for Heidi, and what the Witches planned to do with her... Nobody had seen any of them since that night. Not Heidi, Tabitha, Farona, Karine... Even Anei had done little to make an appearance. It was... troubling at best. And certainly no good environment for a young student trying to focus on her scholastic activities.

SPEAKING OF THE WITCHES. One of them came to sit across Samantha. None other than the big bad wolf, Anei, was sitting across from her. "I may not be as good in math as dear Kazuko, but I can be of help in other more interesting fields." She mused, setting her books down. The title read something of Japanese Mythology, while the smaller volume had that smell of old paper, a very small title denoted it as Greek based reading.
"I take you enjoy math, though? It is only natural to associate with Kazuko then. There is two kinds of people in the world: the method thinkers and the abstract thinkers, though I am sure you are acquaintance with this theory of mental workings? A girl of your scholar background must surely have her hobbies. Farona is very instructed in the art of theater, Tabitha in Biology, Karine in Literature and Heidi has taught me much of psychology ," Anei smiled,"I am particularly interested in the field of history, I am sure you have figured it by now~ "

Samantha twitched, her whole body tensing immediately. She recognized the voice of Anei, the voice of the woman who taunted her mere nights before. The event was still very much fresh in her mind.
"Music." She said flatly to Anei. It was somewhat of a lie; she didn't pursue music anymore, though she once tried to play the flute when she was younger. "I'm good at math, I guess... terrible at English." What on earth did Anei want? And how dare she sit there and talk so freely about Heidi? The more she thought of it, the harder Samantha wrote into her notebook - eventually, she snapped the tip of her pencil. She slammed the pencil down onto her book and glared at Anei, her eyes turning a shade of ruby red.
"Listen here, you're not gonna befriend me or trick me after what I saw you do to my friend. I don't know what you're after, but it ain't gonna work, got it?"

"Aren't you the sharp tool?" She smiled at Samantha, amused by her reaction. The teacher crossed her arms onto the table, leaning on them. "Dear me, my plan has been foiled! What ever shall I do, now that you know precisely what I am after?" She over dramatized her voice, stopping to grin and laugh at Samantha, "I told you once, but I will do you the kindness of saying it to you once more; this is far greater than you, even greater than you can imagine."
"I think Heidi has begun to realize that; that there is a larger scheme. It has taken much convincing for Tabitha to understands, and if someone so in tune with her cards cannot comprehend, then why would I dream of you understanding it?" She chuckled, looking to the side. Yes, there was a few students watching, they were just watching their behavior around a teacher. She had kept her voice beyond their ears purposely, and she smiled. "No, I am not here to 'befriend you.' Why would I wish to have someone as weak and spineless as you among those under my wing?" At that she turned and smiled warmly at Samantha.
It was going according to plan.

It was all Samantha could do to keep from lashing out at the teacher. Jamming her pencil through Anei's eye came to mind, but something told her that it would be for naught. She reached into her backpack instead and withdrew a pencil sharpener, and worked to fix the mangled instrument. "So... what exactly do you want from me? Why are you here, now?" She ground the pencil to a fine point, and with a shaking hand, began to work on her paper again. "Just leave me alone... I have homework to do."

"Simply seeing a student need no help in her very important homework," Anei continued to smile," Like it or not, I am one of the teachers in charge of the students, like yourself, who are not wanted home. ~"

"Well, then go help someone who actually needs you," Samantha replied coldly, not looking up from her work. "And the joke's on you, I don't even have a home to begin with." She flipped a page in her book and continued writing, "... Shouldn't you be off keeping track of your minions or something? I'm sure Tabitha must be a handful, even for someone like you..."

"Oh, Tabitha." Anei only chuckled. "She is not so much as a handful as she is berserk. Much power but little orientation. Above all she is simply someone who cannot stand the idea of being given orders. Of course that is an easy fix, ask Heidi." She rolled her shoulders a bit," She certainly whimpers."

"Sounds like... she could stand to learn a thing or two from you." Samantha replied, her tone threatening and chilly. She bit her lip at the mention of Heidi again, causing her lip to bleed. Her hands were shaking as she focused on her work.
The edges of her book began to whither and crumble, as if the paper was suddenly aging rapidly, or being turned to ash without a flame. The metal bench and table they sat upon groaned as its welds were weakened nearly to the point of fracturing; the smooth paint wore away, revealing red rust underneath. The very air around them began to taste stale and claustrophobic.
"This is your last warning, teacher. Leave me alone."

Anei's eyes casually looked the bench under her elbows, and the rusting book before her eyes. Such a curious creature indeed, with much potential in that which was locked away. "And you require no help?" She lowered a hand taking the corner of the brittle paper and pinching it in to dust," You said earlier to find someone who needed, and so I ask: need you not help?"
"Sides aside, You saw what Karine and Farona can do. You have not seen their abilities, and why? Because they are in full control of when it is displayed and how." Anei undusted her hand on her other sleeve," And Heidi? She has not attacked anyone since she came into my charge. I admit my method may have been brash and reckless, but I was able to control her, and take her from Tabitha, who is the only one who continues to have no self control."
"That being said, Have I said that I wish anything more than the stability of my students?" She looked solemnly to Samantha," I ask again: need you not my help?"

In an instant, the bubble of necrosis vanished. Samantha's eyes were wide with a growing shock and realization. She looked up at Anei. "You... mean to help me?" In that same instant, her perception of Anei turned on a dime. With everyone caught up in this petty little war over cards, nobody had offered to assist Samantha in controlling her powers... only to be rid of them, or suppress them.
"Could... could you really...?" She hesitated, looking uncertain. "Could you help me control this? ... Sometimes, it gets out of hand, and I-- ... I break things..."
