Welcome to Gaia! ::

After the siege to Tori everything felt like it had blurred together with no end in site with just seething anger at the surface of all of her emotions. She couldn't believe those stupid ponies took her friend, her book buddy away from her. The situation just reminded her to what her parents would do to her to keep her under there thump, to use her emotions have her do what ever they wanted. When those horsemen had take Ami was the last straw that Tori could no longer hide her pent up anger that had built up over the years.

Currently Tori was not listening to her weapon since he had been asleep when she need him and she was even tuning out all of his questions as well. Also she couldn't sleep because she couldn't calm herself down enough to sleep. She couldn't focus on reading any types of books since it reminded of her friend and to what those horsemen could be doing. As reading was one way for her to deal with things that wasn't working which made Tori a complete pile of mess that she currently didn't even know how to deal with her anger properly since she couldn't hide it away.

Tori was also frustrated with herself as well since a promise that she had made long ago with herself that she wouldn't allow herself to have her emotions used against herself, not really Ami's fault that Tori really cared for the other girl. Aklin was trying to send calming words to his hunter but she wasn't having but he was still going to try his best. To which she gave a little huff while leaving her room and stomped out of the dorms to take a walk to the training grounds or the beach since Tori couldn't decide on were to go exactly.

Well it would look that her legs had taken her to the training grounds and she had been muttering angrily to herself. Getting more near did Tori see that Marcus was waving her over and for a second there she stopped dead in her tracks think to go over or just totally blow him off. But Aklin made the decision for her as he got her moving once more towards where Marcus was standing. Tori was not happy with this as she expressed it as stopping on the ground a little as she argued with her weapon since he was doing it for the good of his hunter.

"Hi Marcus," she said politely but in a grumpy/angry tone. Giving the Moon Hunter a quick glare and then looked away as thinking on what he had said. "Sure that sounds good," she answered still clearly really mad as she had thought that what she was hitting could be those dam ponies. On the other hand Aklin was like don't trust her with any weapons, Marcus. As that was a bad idea since he wasn't even letting her summon him for very long, as Aklin was totally yelling this to his hunter. "Shut up Aklin," she hissed a little angrily and with her outside voice that Marcus could hear her.

Marcus did catch Tori off guard for a second as her eyebrows raced in surprised but was quickly washed away back to a grumpy angry look It had never crossed her mind to hit s**t to feel better and if she had been listening to her weapon he might have given the same type of advice. "I never really thought of that as that," Tori said but her tone still not nice.

Oh Tori like the sound of Marcus being her target as she started to smile not so nicely. Summoning her own weapon as Aklin chain clanged as she gave the sword a swiped and Aklin wasn't having any of this as he unsummoned himself and Tori summoned him again to which he unsummoned himself again.

Aklin said sternly as he just wanted her to listen and talk with him.

Tori was totally really angrily and frustrated to what her weapon was doing to her as she stopped on the ground in anger. "Your a ******** d**k, Aklin," she growled aloud still stopping on the ground not looking at Marcus at all. Tori was really hating to what Aklin was doing as he didn't help when she needed him and for the fact that she was most angry with herself for not being able to help her friend when she need it. She had heard the last part of what Marcus had said but it never registered.

Now glaring angrily hard at Marcus but he could see that she had lost it since she no longer cared life or death it didn't matter. If her weapon wasn't going to help then she would have to do it on her own. 'It all my fault and why did I have to crack the promise I made myself long ago," Tori said angrily as she charged like an angry bull right for the Moon Hunter with out her weapon as she balled one of her fists as she ran to try and hit anywhere she could make contact.

Alkin was trying hard to talk his hunter down and to try and calm her down but with Tori not listening to him it wasn't working all that well. Aklin was sorry Marcus since his Tori wasn't mad at you Marcus, she was mad at the ponies, herself and past anger.

Tori was a little shocked as Marcus moved out of the way as she charged right passed him and was not too happy about that either since she had wanted to hit and growled more in angry frustration as she stomped the ground some more. Tori even snorted as she turned around to face him.

"A promise I made to myself when I was much younger I closed off my heart where it no longer be used against me to behave if I ever acted out," Tori replied with growl as she still was seeing red as was still growling and this was something that she had told no one. Once more Tori charged at Marcus as fast as she could aiming right for his face since he no longer had his weapon summoned. But just before she was going to hit Aklin had stepped in and trying to make her stop by only managed to move her fist just enough not to smack Marcus in the face but into his shoulder as he still didn't want his hunter hurting another hunter because of her unable to control her own anger. As she was like of a angry charging bull with nothing else on her mind except for blindly hitting and answered questions that part you could blame Aklin on with his love of questions that needed answered.

Oh was Marcus so right Tori was totally acting like she was five but did she care not really right now but later on she just might. Sorta hearing him call her five because of her stomping didn't mater all that she wanted to do was to hit things along with trying to forget things.

Tori was mad at Aklin for moving her punch but still a little glad to have it finally connect this time, but that was all forgotten when Marcus stomped her feet first. Oh did that hurt but stomping her feet had just gotten her more mad since it hurt. With the elbow to the gut as she lost her breath on that one along with more pain and with the final blow to her jaw surprised her on how much that really hurt more than the other two blows. With all of those blows did snap her out of her rage back somewhat to herself and was now done now as she fell to her knees and then to her back. "Ok I give Marcus," she said as she winced as it hurt to talk as she was at least somewhat herself if still a little mad but it was tamed for now. "I still don't know how to deal with it all, that nothing I normally do isn't working," Tori said even if it hut to talk and content for now to lay on the ground. "I can still feel it there, the anger. Normally I can hide it away, lock it away and to forget it but this time I can't," she added as there was confusion in her voice.

"I think that I have tried everything that I know of, I have tried working on projects, do a little research and just read. But it all makes me remember when I want to forget," Tori said as she closed her eyes for a second trying to keep from crying. "Well I guess that I blew up," she added with a little chuckle. "I'm sorry Marcus for hitting you. But those stupid horsemen have Ami, I don't know who else they took if they did," Tori said as a few tears escaped and for the fact that she hated people taken away as in a way Tori always thought it was partly her fault for it happening since she didn't help save.

"Your right Marcus, it has been a very long time since I have gotten remotely mad at anything. I think the last time that I had gotten angry was the last time my mother blackmailed me into obeying her and when I made that promise to myself that I would close off part of my heart to become like a puppet for my parents where I wouldn't lose no one again," the Lifer said as she sighed a little wondering on how much she should tell since this stuff Tori has never talked about to anyone before.

"I will keep that in mind and try to not bottle it up but I will say it will be hard to do so, but I really no longer desire to be a puppet but to be me," Tori answered and she really didn't know if she would totally be free from being a puppet but to have some control she would be good with and Tori could feel Aklin curling around her brain as his way of protect and comforting his hunter. I will try my hardest not to let them do that but thanks a lot Marcus," she added as she sat up from were she was laying and gave the Moon Hunter a little smile.

"I don't mind at all, it really has been a while since I have any friends period. Or at least one that like me for me and not for my parents money or gaining a little higher social standing or other various reasons. It never really helped to getting any friends either that for most of the time I was never aloud to leave the house, unless my parents approved it," Tori answered as she sighted a little as Ami to her was a friend but she was unsure on what Ami felt but that didn't worry her too much as they both shared a love for books. Also there were few others that knew to what type of life she had left behind.

Tori quietly listened to what Marcus was saying and even laugh little at the 'easy open packages' as she did have to agree as they were misleading. She might have had a sorta easy life in her past but she was alright with things being hard as it was something that she had chosen and not anyone else. 'You are right and I have many thing to still learn, but I'm glad to have a friend like you Marcus to help me out," Tori said as she smile bigger as she also got up off the ground feeling at least a little better than she did before.

"I will definitely keep that in mind," she said as Tori smiled a little more when she heard that they might be limited but free that she felt a little better as this was the most free of anything she had been in her whole life and Tori want to experience lot of things she never had before. "Thank you again, as I also want to make up for lost time do things I have never done before and experience old things in a new way,"

Smiling bigger as she still felt angry as her amber eyes met with his blue eyes. "I think that I will, Marcus," Tori said as she then gave him a quick hug and then let go. "Thanks again,"
