Sandy felt herself sigh involuntarily as he took her into his arms. She felt as though she were being folded into a comfortable, protective cocoon. Closing her eyes, she just stood there, smiling stupidly. Realizing he was speaking, she scrambled to pick up what he was saying.<br/><br/>"Uh.." she said as he finished, "No, that's okay. I was actually worried about that. It'll help to have you safe to stay on campus. Did you register for any classes?"<br/><br/>Reluctantly, she pulled away just enough to look at his face. "I have to be to Psych in... wow, 5 minutes, actually..."<br/><br/>Stepping clear of his tantalizing arms with great reluctance, she picked up her pack and hefted it with a grunt onto her shoulders.<br/><br/>Just as she was about to lead the way toward the Social Sciences building, Sandy froze in place, staring straight ahead with a completely vacant expression as if all thought had been removed from her head. A strange shadow cast by the tree they sat under suddenly shifted and moved on its own. As the shadow moved and writhed, it seemed to condense. The shadow grew and condensed until it formed a solid form resembling some sort of small animal. The shadow creature suddenly leaped at Sandy and she staggered as it struck her. The shadow seemed to be absorbed into her and her once blue eyes were now black when she turned to glare at Teddy.<br/><br/>"You will regret returning here, Guardian," she hissed in a deep, gravelly voice, "We have waited many years for a chance to repay you for what you did."<br/><br/>Leaping in a strangely feline movement, Sandy suddenly threw herself at Teddy. Her strength and speed were increased drastically as she delivered blow after blow with expert precision.
