Riots heart started beating erratically and his lungs stopped responding, he fell to a knee trying to catch his breath. He coughed violently and clutched his chest. He looked up at her angry enough the throttle her then and there, but he stopped. His head began to spin and he collapsed. He rolled over on his back and tried to jump to the balcony but he couldn't focus his mind on the place he needed to move to. His eyes started to slip close and the balcony spun around him. He stopped panicking and focused hold ing his breath, willing his heart to slow down to a rhythm but it wouldn't work. The organs she hit wouldn't go back into their normal function.

Christina screamed. "Riot?" she whispered, but he probably couldn't answer. She reached out for him, then pulled her hand back. "I'm sorry, I have to help you." She reached out with both hands and concentrated with all her heart. Everything was so messed up, she was afraid she couldn't fix it. Crying, her focus slipped, but she brought her mind back to the matter at hand by looking at his face. "Please, I'm sorry!" She'd never been so angry before....

Riot's eyes closed, e laid there, his heart beating maybe once every other second; his breathing shallow. His mind drifted to a field somewhere in thee past. Not on earth here on weyard, to a sunny day. He heard a feminine voice and her laughter too. Her face came into view, beautiful grey eyes and white hair; curved lips and a slightly long nose on a small face. He knew her face and the sight of it jilted his heart. "Mari...Ma.." He coughed and tried to call her, "Maria." the image skipped to a different day. A day the clouds were so black it mirrored his heart, it was raining hard with no sun. He frowned and the imagine of a coffin covered in roses assaulted his slipping mind. He teared up and the event hat image faded into white.

He was crying too. His face was so soft, and pained, that Christina felt sorry for insulting him. She increased her efforts, and sweat broke out of her face and body. Her stomach felt cold, and she changed position, sitting him up and wrapping her arms around him to his back. His lungs, his heart, his stomach, his liver, all felt her tentative instruction and began to come back to life. "Please, I'm sorry... come back. I won't yell anymore." He may have brought her here for less than good reasons, but he was just a U.H. just the same. She'd probably murdered him.

Riot had finally lost consciousness, his heart began to pump faster and at its steady rate. His breathing came back to normal and he stopped coughing. The image of the coffin faded as it sunk into the ground; its image was replaced by a tombstone. He tried to look away but the picture just came in clearer, on its hea it read: "Maria Smith, Daughter, Wife and personal savior." He saw himself crying at the tombstone. And then he awoke. His tears infuriated him and he jumped himself out of her arms and he was standing on the balconies edge. He breathed slo and steady staring death at the girl. That memory had been locked away for so long, how dare she make him experience it. He wanted her dead and instead he just turned away, his posture daring her to come close without a death wish.

Christina was still crying and she reached a hand out to him unconsciously. "Riot?" she asked. "Please, I'm sorry." She leaned against the side of the balcony, very tired. But there was a smile on her face, for many reasons. The best being that he was still alive, but there was also the feeling of accomplishment that stirred up inside her like a little devil. Peace and concentration brought a healing touch, anger brought the killing touch, what else could she do? She curled up into a ball as far away from him as she could pull herself, and left him alone.

"Resist the urge, shes a girl, dont touch her." Restraint did not feel good and it did not satisfy him. The pit bull that was his anger was already about to break it leash and the soothing inner child he had couldn't control it. "Dont ever touch me again. Unless were jumping." He meant that with a fierceness unconceivable. What had he done bringing an unstable U.H here. The memory wa haunting him and fueling his anger. "Stop it Riot!" That was her voice saying, it was Maria. He looked inside himself trying to find the means to focus. It was hard but after a moment he stopped showing his fangs and his eyes cooled to a grey color.

"Yessir," she said quietly, although she had covered her head again and her eyes were closed tightly. His angry presense was oozing right through her like a mucky hot wind. 'I am an extreme idiot,' she mused, 'but it can't be so bad can it?' He wasn't her father, or her mother, or the human idiots that she'd grown up around. She'd overcome all of that for the sake of becoming strong, but it all seemed so useless. Suddenly Christina remembered Tracey, who was so nice to her and helped her get settled into the library. Not all of her teachers had been so mean as everyone else. They were coming into a new century, and more and more people had family who were unknown humans.

Seth turned and looked at her, his anger had subsided and really he just wanted her to go away. It wasn't that simple though, they just had to wait for Kain and then he could wash his hands of her. "I just want you to relax. I wont let anything happen." That was the last time he'd say it, screw her if she didn't believe him, "im not risking my life anymore." he said the last part out loud by accident but hadn't noticed. He sat down on the balconies edge and stuck a hand out to her to come nearer.

Christina flinched internally. "I don't need your help apparently," she told him pointedly as she stood up. She walked over near him and positioned herself near him but not close to touching. Looking out at the view calmed her frayed nerves. "Are you afraid of me?" she asked him, staring out with a calm gaze. "I'd never done that before."

He scoffed, "If i was afraid of you, youd be dead." He looked at her marveling at her child like demeanor. He outstretched his arm and touched her with his finger tip jumping her closer to him. "You have a very odd power, and with knowing how to properly control it you could hurt yourself or someone, particularly me." He laughed again at her first statement, "If you dont need my help why are you sitting next to me here then?"

"Because you moved me!" Christina snapped. "So don't be so, so, so whatever!" She turned away from him. "I thought you didn't want to touch me!" It hurt more this time, the jumping, and her heart was racing. Holding herself tightly so as he couldn't notice. Her face burned at her lack of control.

He jumped her again back next to him. "You should stop acting so tough i see right through it." He smirked, "Theres nothing wrong with needing help, i once jumped my entire family reunion two states over. Thats when they reported me."

Christina walked away from him again. "I don't see how you could understand. People are afraid of me even though all I knew who to do was heal them! My mom wouldn't even let me touch her." Her back was stiff, but she faced him. "And now I nearly killed you. I know I need help, alright, but I never knew anyone before who could give it! And you can't blame me when you tell me that the guy who can isn't very nice."

He jumped so that he was behind her with both hands on her shoulders. "Ive made a promise, something i never do. So beileve me when i say im going to keep it."
