*Rolls her eyes and snickers slightly when Sarah hits him*
Be honest for once...something isn't the same, and you two are apart of that...
*Jess can't shake off the sense that she knows more about it, but doesn't know what.*

"I really don't feel like I belong here. I don't know why, but it is just not where i feel like I belong...I'm just not used to being around people..." With that ZAk turned and ran away not looking back for anything.

"What? You're saying I've done nothing but told you lies? I'm crushed." Vseslav said, still smiling. "Long story short, we are currently in a field where normal rules of reality don't really work." He heard the other kid take off running behind him.
"Should I do something about the kid? I'll let you decide since you pumped him full of info." Sarah said crossly.
"Nah. He's not a problem. Let him do as he wishes." He told her.

*Jess raised her eyebrows struggling to comprehend this. Jess frowned trying to understand but it only made her head hurt. She refused to give up though, so she tried to understand it more and more until her head ached like never before. Jess had no clue why she was trusting him this time...but something just told her this was true.*

Vseslav saw that she was struggling with this concept, so he decided to give her a little nudge in the right direction. "The answer lies within you. Honest. I'm not trying to feed you some zen crap."

*Grumbles slightly*
Well if you haven't noticed I do have some...inner conflicts...
*Jess takes a deep breathe shutting her eyes and rubbing her temples trying to relieve the pain. How could this actually be another field?...normal rules don't apply?...now thats just messed up...if normal rules don't apply then what rules do apply...oh let me guess...its the follow your heart crap again...I don't know how many times I've heard that line in my life... Jess pauses for a moment though...she senses something...it isn't about following your heart...but about something else.
Cass opens here eyes and frowns. Without realizing it she speaks out loud.*
Why do I even feel I need to do this anyway?

When Zak got back to the library, he went on up to where the librarian had laid out a room for him. She was such a sweet lady. The only person that Zak cared about. ...Ahhh Jennifer, she is awfully sweets to me.even tho she is only around her mid 20's, she seems so full of knowledge.
Jennifer turned to look at Zak as he entered the room. "Where have you been mr.?? Out writing on walls again? You know whatyou had to do last time you got caught don't you?"
Zak looked down at his feet,"Sorry Jennifer. I won't go out and do it again. I promise." Zak headed up to bed and set all his stuff to the side. Down stairs Jennifer called up to him. "Oh, and Zachariah!! Better leave them weapons out of sight before you get in trouble..."

*Jess closed her eyes again feeling something stir inside her that had been sleeping for the longest time. She followed it though feeling that she must find it though, find out what it was. It felt like she had been traveling through eternity when Jess finally found what she had been looking for. It was a piece of her soul, something that had been dormant for such a long time. In an instant Jess understood everything that they had been trying to explain.
With that Jess suddenly got thrust out of her trance. She didn't realize it at the time but her physical appearance had changed majorly. Her hair had become a wavy red, that appeared long yet short at the same time, her skin was as pale as it possibley could be, her eyes were absolutley ice blue with the pupil now a diamond shape. Also her teeth were fangs now which had poison in them, and her nails were sharper and more curved which also gave off poison if it got into the blood system. There was also curling snakeskin on her feet that traveled all the way up her sides, the snakeskin also encircled her entire waist, it connects to the snakeskin on her her spine, and it traces every rib. It wrapped curling all the way around her arms and shoulders, becoming small intricate weavings on Jess's hands, on her neck, the snakeskin travels up to her face and makes delicate designs on her right cheek, traces her hairline on her forehead, and encircles her left eye.
Jess took a deep breathe trying to stay calm.*
Well...that was...interesting...

Vseslav grinned. "See? I knew she could do it. What do you think Kari?"
Sarah/Kari shook her head. "It's no time to celebrate. This is but one step on a long road we have ahead of us."
"You're such a joy killer." He grumbled. He faced the girl. "Anyways, welcome to our insanity. I hope you enjoy your stay. By the way, I never caught your name. As this-" He pointed at himself, "I go by Vseslav."

*Jess looked at the two amused by how the two acted. Jess snickered slightly at the word insanity. It was already far beyond insanity. Then Jess glances down at her hand and notices the change and her eyes go wide. Well what doya know... She looks up at the other two then.*
My name is Jess...
*Curiosity gets the best of her*
Why do you go by different names?

"There are different reasons people go by different names for their rip form." Kari said.
"Some of us, say for example, a finance and accounting manager of a rather large corporation, prefer not to have their actions during rips tied to their normal identity. Enemies would be eager to take advantage of information like that." Vseslav told her.
"Others see their awakening as a sort of rebirth, so take a new name represent the change." Kari continued.

*Jess cant stop her curiosity now. But decies its better to keep it one question at a time.*
Well...what exactly are people supposed to really...do in these rips? There must be a purpose to them...

"That is exactly why we are here." Kari said. "There is nearly no information on rips. We come to the rips to try to understand them. Why do they happen? Why do they happen almost exclusively in this town? What caused them to start? Why does it give people the ability to turn into and do unusual things?"
Vseslav sighed. "Now look what you did. She's going off in her crazed scientist mode. You might want to run if you see her reaching for a scaple."

*Jess shakes her head slightly*
Doesn't matter to me...and I doubt she would take a scalpal out...
*Glances over at Kari*
...would you?
*Snickers at herself for even asking that*

Kari shot her a firey look and was about to make a sharp retort, but she was interrupted by someone else.
"Hey look, that wind witch is out walking her mutt." A male teenage voice called out.
Vseslav looked in the direction of the voice. Two forms stood on the opposite side of the rip field. Kari looked like she was about to explode, so he replied before she could do anything. "I prefer the term lapdog." Vseslav called back.
"You stuck up Guru members always show up at rips and ruin our fun. Why don't you go find a book to read?" The other voice said.
"Chaos trash." Kari growled. "Go back to the dumpster you crawled out of."
Vseslav sighed. She didn't realize that playing their game only fuelled them. One of them laughed. "Want to play?" He stepped into the light. His large body was covered in rock. He extended his arm and the pavement under Kari exploded. She went flying into the air, but before she hit the ground a gust of wind came and pushed her back up.
The other member walked forward, he looked tiny in comparison. He looked nearly normal, except that his body looked to be made out of blue glass. He looked at Vseslav expectantly, eager to start the battle.
"Guess there's no way around it now." Vseslav sighed. He reached behind his back under his coat with both hands and pulled out twin kamas. He looked over at Jess. "This is our fight. You don't need to get involved."
