 Jinthel Zephyrine ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ Jinthel couldn't really see much as she walked down the stairs. She had both of her hands on the wall next to her, which she stayed very close to. She was mostly just feeling her way down.. While the dark made her nervous, it was kinda comforting in a strange way. If she couldn't see, then she couldn't be seen, right? She stumbled a little when she reached the bottom of the stairs, having not expected to so soon. She looked around for a moment, not that it did any good. There wasn't really any light, so she couldn't see at all. She also didn't notice that Echo had followed her, despite her efforts to lose him. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄

Howecho Echo heard Jinthel stumble as she reached the bottom of the stairs. He knew Jinthel was close from the sound of her breathing so he slowed his own so she couldn't hear it. He wanted to light the small candle he had but he knew that it would give him away so he didn't pull it out. He smiled a little hearing how empty the room was from the sounds of Jinthel's foot steps echoing through out the room.

Jinthel Zephyrine ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ Jinthel continued slowly walking around the basement, feeling the walls and anything she found with her hands to get an idea of what everything looked like. Despite the care she took to be quiet, her wooden sandals made a clunking sound every time she took a step. She kept wincing every time she heard the noise and looking around. It was still too dark to really see much, but her eyes were starting to adjust to the darkness.. She could kinda see slightly, but it wasn't enough to make out her surroundings. She had the eerie feeling that she was being watched or something, but had no idea there was anyone else around.. So she just thought it was her imagination. Regardless, it was making her a bit jumpy.. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄

HowechoEcho felt around the wall till he found a spot he could light the candle for her to use to look around without letting her know he was there. He unzipped his bag and felt around till he found the candle and a box of matches. He struck one match on the box and watched as it caught fire. He lit the candle and stepped back into the shadows after putting the match out so he wouldn't be seen yet. He didn't know she was getting jumpy but he guessed she would sooner or later so he was giving her some light.

Jinthel Zephyrine ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ Jinthel suddenly stopped walking and looked around when she heard a noise and everything got brighter. Her mismatched eyes widened in surprise and she blinked a little as they adjusted to the change in light.. And then she quickly headed in the direction of the stairs, trying to be even quieter than before, though her slightly panicked sounding breathing kinda gave her away.. And she was moving too quickly to really hide the sound of her steps much. If someone was listening, which now she thought there was. She.. Really did not want to stay down here. It was amazing how one simple thing like that could make her get so scared so quickly.. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄

HowechoEcho heard Jinthel's breathing quicken and her footsteps as she ran for the door. He quickly killed the flame and followed Jinthel's steps a little sad that she was running away again. "Jinthel, don't run please." He was talking softly but loud enough for her to hear

Jinthel Zephyrine ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ Jinthel squeaked a little when the light went out just when she reached the stairs.. She had just started running up them, but slipped on one step and fell, landing on her side. She had tried to catch herself, but there wasn't really a railing, so all she ended up doing was hurting her arm as he ended up back at the bottom of the stairs. She winced and turned so she was kinda sitting, then looked around frantically as she heard Echo's voice. Of course, she didn't see him. He wasn't really helping much by following her.. Her eyes filled with tears which soon started streaming down her cheeks. She wasn't just crying because falling had hurt.. She was also scared again. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄

HowechoEcho heard Jinthel fall down the steps and moved faster to the steps. He found her at the bottom of the steps and lightly brushed his fingers on her arm so she'd know where he was. "Jinthel is it OK if I pick you up and get you up stairs?" He lit the candle again so she could see his face, he was really worried about her that it showed in the candle light, he had tilted his head so it wouldn't make shadows on his face that would scare her. He lightly ran the tip of his fingers across her arms checking for broken bones. He wiped the tears away after he checked her arms glad they weren't broken.

Jinthel Zephyrine ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ Jinthel jumped a little when she felt someone touch her arm, letting out a little whimper and pulling away from it. She sniffled and scooted back until she felt the wall behind her instead of the stairs. Her arms weren't broken, but they were bruised at the least and sore. It was Echo, she knew.. A thought that was only confirmed when he spoke and then lit a candle. She winced a little and slitted her eyes against the light, shaking her head quickly as she continued crying. She could see he was worried, but.. She wished she could tell him to leave her alone, but all she could do was give him a look that was a mix of misery and fear. Why did he continue following her around? When he touched her arms, she shivered and pulled away, trying to back away.. And failing. She hugged her knees to her chest and lowered her head so she was mostly watching him through her bangs. As soon as he started trying to wipe away her tears, she gently whacked his hands away, before burying her face in her knees, shuddering a little bit. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄

HowechoEcho set the candle off to the side and sat down. He set Jinthel's bag and umbrella closer to her. "You keep leaving these behind so I all ways bring them to you. Plus I like you and I don't want you to get hurt anymore." He sighed softly and pulled out a travel pack of tissues to hand to her. "Since your not going to let me touch you then wipe the tears out of your eyes please." He moved back some when he noticed Jinthel trying to move further away from him but stayed in the circle of light given by the flame.

She hugged her kneels tighter and squeezed her eyes shut, keeping her face hidden in her knees. She was trying to stop crying, but wasn't having much success. Tears kept leaking out. She sniffled a little bit and shook her head slightly as she heard his words. She didn't want to move.. But she didn't want to be here either. She started rocking back and forth slightly. What happened earlier in the nurse's office hadn't done her much good.. Even though she knew Echo meant well, being made to feel helpless hadn't done her much good. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄

HowechoEcho sighed "You weren't completely helpless, You could have kicked me." He pulled out the mp3 again but didn't put one of the ear buds in instead he unplugged them and turned the volume up enough for Jinthel to hear. He started singing along with the song that was playing while watching Jinthel rock her self slightly. The song was 'Angel with a shotgun', one of his favorites by The Cab.

Jinthel Zephyrine ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ Jinthel frowned slightly and shook her head. Even if she hadn't actually been helpless.. She had felt that way. And years of learned helplessness were hard to shake off, especially since it had been since she was so little. She continued ricking herself back and forth with her face buried in her knees. As she heard him moving around though, eventually curiosity and wariness forced her to look up to see what he was doing.. Just in time for the song to start playing. She jumped a little at the noise, but quickly realized it was just music.. Of a song that was kinda interesting.. She had never really heard it before, but there was something about it that she liked almost at once. Slowly, she stopped crying and sat completely still, listening to it with her face mostly hidden by her knees and her bangs. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄

HowechoEcho watched her reaction as he started singing with the song; glad she wasn't crying anymore he continued singing, his voice all most the exact same as the singer's. ((Did you have to go find the song to answer it?))

Jinthel Zephyrine ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ Jinthel was surprised to hear Echo start singing. It was pretty amazing how much alike his voice and the one of the person singing the song were.. But she was able to pick up on a few differences. After a moment, she hid her face in her knees again, still sniffling a little. She seemed to be doing an awful lot of crying at this school, but that wasn't really unusual for her.. For now though, she was listening to this song and Echo's singing. ❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄≋❄ ((No, I love that song! But I wasn't sure how she would react to it..))
