Hal smiled at her.

"Family never has to repay family." he told her. "Not for situations like THIS, anyway." he said further.

"...I MAY ask for a custom firework in the future, though." he then admitted.

"But that's nothing to concern ourselves with now." he reasoned.

"For now, do what you can for your daughter." he told her.

"She needs help. And those people can provide it. Proper help."

Rowena nodded.

"Fair." She said.

"And thank you, so much." She added.

"I'm going to go see if she'll listen to me enough to hear what's going on." She added, seeming to be thinking about that for a moment or two.

"anyway, I'll get out of your way." She then said. "Thanks again. I really do appreciate this."

"Of course." Hal responded.

"And it's no problem. I assure you." he insisted.

"I'm just glad I was able to steer you in the right direction for proper help." he then said, standing up and making his way over.

"And I really hope they do help." he told her.

"What Alice went through... no-one should ever have to go through." he reasoned.

"Honestly, this should help. From what Lindsay was saying, she doesn't know WHAT is going on, just that something new was unlocked within her mana." Rowena commented.

"So it really is nothing more than ... I guess just needing to give her the information, and see how it goes. I'll let her contact herself, if she wants to." She added afer a moment or two before giving Hal a hug, since he was there.

"Thanks again." She added.

"I'm going to clear out. Just call on my fire skils whenever you want to."

Hal returned the hug, and held onto her until she released her own embrace.

"Of course." he said with a small smile.

"If you ever need me again, do not hesitate to call upon my services." he told her.

"And, let me know if there's anything more I can to help with this situation." he added.

"For now, I do hope the rest of your day is pleasant." he wished her sincerely.

"It should definitely be better now." Rowena commented.

"Now I'm going to go 3 hours into the future again. See ya."With that, she waved, and headed off, making her way through the building again. It wasn't difficult, as she'd been there enough over the years, and out.

She appeared in a flash of fire in the den, to find the two males sifting through books.

"You two can stop." She stated simply.

Lindsay and Vincent stopped looking through the books they had their noses buried in, and looked over towards her.

"Oh?" Vincent asked.

"Why's that?" Lindsay inquired.

"..." Vincent was then silent for a moment, before it seemed to click.

"Ah. Right, you went to Hal." he recalled.

"I'm guessing he had a solution?" he asked her.

Rowena nodded.

"Yeah." She said simply.

"Some people to call. I'm taking them up to Alice." she said before pausing a moment.

"Actually.... one of you two can. I'm usually not the best person to be around an empath."

"...and empath?" Vincent asked.

"She's... she's an empath?" he asked further. "Well... that DOES explain the 'unlocked' comment, and why she's barricading herself away from everyone else." he reasoned.

"Indeed." Lindsay agreed.

"I'll take it up to her." he said.

"She's been more receptive to me." he told them.

"You're also far more level." Rowena commented.

"Which is likely the biggest part of it, if I'm being honest." She added.

"But thanks, Lindsay. If it wasn't you, I'd get Vicki to, I think. They seem to still have steady contact."

"Fair." Lindsay responded.

He then accepted the paper from her, and made his way to Alice's door, knocking on it, and getting his phone out.

We know what's happening. he sent.

And we know some people that can help you. he sent next.

With that, he took the paper and slipped it under the door.

Lindsay didn't receive an answer after he slid the paper under the door.

Alice did, meanwhile, go grab it, and look. As she saw the numbers, she was silent for a moment before texting him.

..... what are these numbers for?

They're all empaths that Hal Sharp knows. Lindsay sent her.

Because that's what's happening to you. It seems you had the latent capabilities of becoming an empath, and it would have naturally happened later in your life. he sent next.

But this betrayal forced it out sooner than natural. he sent further.

Those people will help you reign in and control this. he finished in another one, now giving her a chance to respond now.

..... Thank you. was all alice responded with. She knew that there was information that she had to deal with, and knew that those out there would likely be worried about her, but at least there wasn't anything particularly wrong with her. She wasn't going to deny that she'd been scared about that, but she couldn't handle being anywhere near anyone else. At least this way, she could learn about it, study it, practice shit.

All it would take, is some time.

And that was good enough for her.

Sure enough, she sent a text to one of the numbers that was listed as a mobile.

Hey.... My Mom got your number from Hal Sharp... I'm apparently a blossoming empath, and I can't deal with. Are you willing to, or able to, help?

There was silence for a moment, before she received a text.

Have you barricaded yourself in your room? they sent, immediately showing her they knew what she was dealing with.

I have. she responeded.

Give me your address. I'll be there very soon. the next text read.

And after about 5 minutes, Rowena, Vincent, and Lindsay heard the doorbell to the manor ring.

"Hm?" Vincent mumbled.

"Wonder who that is..." he said.

"Rowena, Lindsay, were you expecting company?" he asked them.

"I was not." Lindsay responded.

Rowena shook her head.

"Nope. However, pretty sure I know what this is about." She said as she got to her feet. She stretched before making her way to the door, forgetting her hat on the couch.

She opened the door and stepped aside, basically giving them entry.

"I'm going to hazard a guess, you're here for my empath daughter, Alice." She greeted.

"Come on in."

The one that stood there appeared to be a young man in his late 20's, with short, platinum blonde hair, that had blue frosted tips. His eyes were a matching blue to the frosting in his hair, and he wore a pair of worn jeans, a denim jacket, simple brown sandals, and a black band tee.

He was silent as he seemed to look RIGHT at her hair for close to 5 seconds, before he diverted his attention forward, and stepped inside.

"I am." he responded, his voice having a slight, but distinct, Russian accent to it.

"She's barricaded herself in her room, so she needs some emergency counselling and tutoring." he reasoned.

"I can only assume she's been through a traumatic experience that's caused this to suddenly manifest?" he asked as he walked past her.

"Yep. Teacher tried to kill her." Rowena answered, fguring honesty was best here.

"I'm not going up there, as I know I'll probably be more of a detriment, but up the stairs, follow the hall, turn the corner, and it's the last down on the right." She told him honestly.

"The mana would likely direct you there, I admit, but ... well, at least now you know."

"...." he was silent for moment, freezing in place as he heard the explanation.

"That would do it." he said.

"Time to help her." he finished, as he followed his senses and started to walk deeper into the building.

He made his way up to where he sensed the barrier, pausing at it, and then knocking on it almost rhythmically.

It's Mikhail. he sent.

Care to let me in? he then asked in his next message.

He was met with silence for a few seconds before his cell chimed.

You should be able to get through. Alice replied as Rowena made her way back to the others.

".... here's hoping he can help. Or at least start to. I don't expect this to be a massive difference." The Fyrane said to the others as she took a seat on the couch.
