Jack saw the dagger fly back at him, but he remained stiff and glared maniacally at the other boy. Cecilia had to push him at the last minute to try and get him to move out of the way, but the dagger found it's mark in Jack's shoulder instead of his chest.<br/><br/>Jack didn't even flinch as blood began to seep through his uniform. He kept his eyes locked on the boy across the room as he reached behind his back, his hand wrapping around the hilt of a concealed sword under his shirt. Cecilia had fallen off her chair in an attempt to push jack, and saw what he was going for.<br/><br/>"Jack, no!" she cried and jumped up to grab his wrist. He just stared at the other boy, his eyes wide and full of killing intent. Her words went unheard as he started forward, but she grabbed his shoulder and there was a flash of light once more, this time, a spell to put him to sleep.<br/><br/>Jack crumpled at her feet and noisily smacked his head against an aluminum chair. He hit the floor and laid motionless for a moment, letting Cecilia breathe a sigh of relief, then she squeaked when he suddenly popped back up to his feet, almost in a panic, looking around the room frantically as they all stared back at him.<br/><br/>"What happened? What did I do?" he stammered, eyes darting around the room. No one was hurt, no one was bleeding, the room he was in seemed intact and people weren't running in fear. Yet why was all this blood on the floor? His eyes slowly drifted to the floor, retracing the trail of blood back to himself, and his eyes slowly focused on the handle of the dagger still embedded in his shoulder.<br/><br/>The adrenaline faded from his blood as he stood staring at it, then his legs buckled and he fell backwards, Cecilia catching him from behind and lowering him to the floor to sit down.<br/><br/>"What happened?" he asked, touching the dagger and wincing. In a brave attempt he grabbed it and pulled it out, dropping it to the floor, "What did I do?" he sniffed.<br/><br/>Cecilia was confused beyond words. Were those tears now? Was he really upset? A moment ago he was alarmingly mad and wanted to kill the other boy, spouting obscenities and being violent, now he was crying because of a small wound?<br/><br/>"What happened, Jack?" She asked, "Are you alright?"<br/><br/>"What did he do?" He asked, "What did I do?"<br/><br/>"You threw a knife at another student and was calling him names." she said, "You don't remember?"<br/><br/>"No...." he shook his head, "I usually do, but not this time. He kept those memories away from me this time." he paused for a moment, "Oh, God! Did I hurt anyone?"<br/><br/>"I don't think so." she said, helping him to a chair, "What happened? You changed." She could see it now. His eyes were bloodshot from crying, but his pupils were definitely a different color now they were an almost red, or burgundy color when he was spewing curse words, now they were almost blue.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry. I didn't think he would come out." he said, "It's been forever."<br/><br/>"He? Another personality?" she asked. Jack nodded vigorously.<br/><br/>"It's the only reason I got into this school. He's the only one who can fight. I'm not very good at it. But he's an asshole and hard to deal with and control. I'm not, or I'd like to think so anyway. I can't control when it happens but I try and limit things that could trigger it." he was muttering only loud enough for her to hear, but she could hear the teachers trying to retain order and knew that he would be in trouble for this. It could all be lies for all Cecilia was concerned, but from what she saw and his current state, he was either the best actor in the world or he was telling the truth. Her righteous nature got the better of her and she was giving him the benefit of the doubt by believing him. She was worried what the teachers would do to him for throwing a knife at someone during an assembly, but she assumed they had his file and knew of his condition.<br/><br/>Cecilia sighed as she took her seat again. She sure knew how to pick her new friends. Now she was worried she may have to protect him from a revengeful student with broken headphones...
