the moment to live and the moment to die

[lauren.]

Richard;
I winced a little at what she told me,"Damn,"was all I could say. She probably hated me, I mean, it was just a small fire. I glanced down at my arm where the fireball at hit me and it wasn't that bad. "Sorry again,"I said looking at her.

Dawnielle;
I sighed and put the sword away, not knowing what else to do. I didn't want to tell Alec that because knowing him, he'd make me do something extremely hard. I looked back over the guns, wondering how they had gotten all these here.

[leeeeeeeah]

Grace
"It's fine, really," I said again, seriously this time. What's life without a few death threats, after all? Besides, we were kind of working towards fighting a whole bunch of soldiers and most of them would probably want me dead a hell of a lot more than this guy so maybe it'd be good practice. As long as I didn't, y'know, die or anything. That could be bad.

Alec
I thought about yelling at Tess for her comment and maybe making her do the dishes after dinner anyway but decided not to. I am kind of a tyrant but I have good reason. The whole war thing is kind of big so y'know, sometimes tyrant-ish behaviour is called for. She wasn't exactly getting away with it though. I followed her over to the track and started to run beside her, shouting at her the whole way round.

Tess
I rolled my eyes at Alec, who was now consciously yelling at me. Doesn't he realize I'm a teenager? I know how to ignore people when they're yelling at me. "Impressive lung capacity, you've got there," I fit into the space between some of his deafening words. "Screaming while you're running. Bravo."

Elijah
I groaned out of boredom and just laid down on the ground. Fuck da police.

[lauren.]

Richard;
"Okay, I'll try to keep my temper more in check,"I said giving her a smile.

Dawnielle;
I saw Elijah lay down and smirked as I picked up a pistol. I aimed and shot at the ground just by his hip.

[leeeeeeeah]

Okay idk what to do so let's skip ok hmmm it can be the next day which is a day off but Alec is with Tess in the training room because he told her to go back for extra training wooo and everyone else is doing they own thaaaang
_________________

Alec
The training room was empty, apart from me and Tess, because this was not a training day. I could practically feel Tess glaring holes into the back of my head as I set an obstacle course up for her. I'd made her work stupidly hard on her first training day and then made her come back the day after to do even more training when everyone else was enjoying time off. But she was miles behind the others, she needed to catch up, and it was kind of hilarious to mess with her.

Grace
I was still in bed, mainly because the whole training thing the day before had tired me out more than usual. Besides, my bed was warm and it was still raining outside and it was kind of nice to just lie there and listen to the rain on the windows and be kind of sleepy and stuff. As time went on in the house times for relaxation were getting less and less frequent so I was kind of enjoying them while they lasted.

[grey scale:]

Tess
I sat on the floor, glaring at him as he set up the obstacle course. "You're just making me do this because you don't like me," I said, still glaring at him. This was so unfair. I wanted to be ASLEEP right now.

Elijah
It was raining again. I was on the front porch of the house, half-under the roof, and I stuck my hand out. I let the water fall onto my skin, then slowly trickle back down and continue its journey to the ground. It was raining, yet still the day was nice.

[lauren.]

Richard;
I was in the kitchen waiting for my my toast to pop up as I looked out the window at the rain. It had been raining for awhile and I didn't know when it was going to stop. I yawned as my toast popped up and began spreading butter on it.

Dawnielle;
I stretched out my back as I headed downstairs. I had no idea what to do today, but was happy we didn't have any practice. I really wanted to go outside and run. I mean, rain never hurt anyone.

[leeeeeeeah]

Alec
"I'm not doing this because I hate you," I said, finishing the obstacle course and stepping back from it. "I'm doing this because you're way too far behind everyone else and you need to catch up a bit." I turned around to face her. "Come on, get up."

Grace
After about half an hour of just laying in bed after waking up I decided to get up, and after a shower and getting dressed I went downstairs to sit in the communal livingroom and read the book I had been reading a couple of days ago.

[grey scale:]

Tess
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "You don't like me because I talk back to you. But it's not normal talking back, it's telling you that you're an insufferable tyrant. Which you are." I smiled and shrugged, crossing my ankles in front of me. "I think I should refuse to adhere to these extra lessons on the grounds of reverse favoritism."

Elijah
I made a small cyclone, thinking about how annoying half the people in the house were. Richard, throwing shit all over the place. Dawn, acting all high-and-mighty about her weapons. Tess, being a wimpy little kid and not taking into consideration that everybody had their own fucking issues. Alec, just being Alec. I let out an angry breath and jerked my hand up, watching the cyclone as it slowly got bigger and bigger. It might have been my high, by now.

[lauren.]

Richard;
I breathed in as I finished off my toast. I sighed and headed into the living room, glancing outside.

Dawn;

[leeeeeeeah]

Alec
"Firstly, I already know that I'm a tyrant and I have Elijah around to remind me, so you saying it really doesn't make much of a difference," I said, folding my arms. "And secondly, I'm in charge of this place. And if you don't do this training then you're out of here."

Grace
I curled up in the corner of the couch and read my book, which became increasingly difficult as the wind outside started to pick up and make lots of noise.

[grey scale:]

Tess
"I said insufferable. Elijah seems to like you, at least a little bit. Insufferable fits the bill much more nicely, if you ask me," I said, raising an eyebrow at him.

Elijah
I stared at the cyclone as it twisted away from me, picking up more water and wind. It was halfway across the yard now, the wind whipping so hard that my hair stung my face and leaves and twigs flew past me and hit the wood of the house. I stood up, watching the cyclone as it reached a new height, at least ten feet tall. A small tree was brought into the current, and it splintered immediately.

[lauren.]

Richard;
I looked outside as I saw a huge cyclone,"Shit,"I said wondering what the hell was going on. Elijah could control these things, what the hell is he doing. I looked over at Grace then headed out the front door but had to grip onto the door frame so I wouldn't get picked up,"Elijah, what the hell?"I yelled at him.

Dawn;
I stared out my bedroom window with wide eyes, completely happy I didn't go out for a run. "What the fuck,"I muttered quietly as I went closer to the window to look outside but screamed when the window shattered against me.

[leeeeeeeah]

Grace
I heard some kind of huge cracking sound and then Richard ran out of the room, presumably to see what was going on, so I followed him. Elijah had decided to start some kind of huge cyclone outside, the idiot. "Elijah! Stop it!" I shouted, even though I could barely be heard over the winds.

Alec
"I know I'm insufferable, too. The others hate me just as much as you do sometimes, don't think I haven't heard all of this before. You're not special just because you happen to dislike me," I said, shrugging.

[grey scale:]

Tess
"I don't hate you. You just piss me off." I frowned as I heard something from the upper levels of the house. It was only the faintest of noises, but I was sure I'd heard it. "What was that?"

Elijah
I heard voices, but they weren't registering with me. The cyclone hit more trees, and debri flew against the house. I stepped off the porch, the gravel under me crackling.
