*Black looked at Ian and shook his head when he asked about Cain.*
That's all I know about him.
*He jumped out of his seat when he suddenly heard the fierce wind against the house and thought it might be an enemy. He then turned his attention to Rose when she started talking. Black gave a sad smile.*
Guess you know your family more than I do. I think Sky would have more info to offer though. But we can't count on that...

*Aaron felt all the information going over his head. Cain, MRF, the Nightmares, this girl Rose? I'm too tired! he thought. When he heard the wind beating against his house, Aaron's heart skipped a beat. He whispered her name.*
Nessa...
*Without a word, he immediately turned around and ran toward the front just to discover that Nessa had already let herself in, like always. Aaron felt a smile appear on his face and relief spread through him.*
Hey, Nessa.

*Nessa was going to be on guard and in control when she saw Aaron. That's what she promised herself. But it was unexpected how her bones seemed to melt when he appeared and smiled at her. She took a deep sigh and unconsciously, the wind swirled around her, whipping up her long, somewhat tangled hair.*
Aaron. I need to talk to you. I...
*Nessa noticed that he was wide awake and her curiosity piqued. The wind brought her the scents of people in the other room.*
What's going on? Why are you...?

::Ian couldn't stop looking at Rose as she described what her family did to traitors. The thought of her being sold made his blood boil more than the hottest water. He hated anyone who would think to treat people like slaves and sell them at market, family or not. But his anger quickly subsided when he saw Aaron run off towards the door. He closed the door and stayed close to it, placing a finger to his lips and motioning for them to keep it down. He listened to the conversation the best he could through the door::

*Black nodded when Ian placed a finger to his lips. He quietly maneuvered his way over to the door, to listen as well. At the moment, all he could hear was the whistling of the wind.*

*Nessa started to get agitated and the wind blew even harder.*
Aaron...what is going on here?

Nessa...I can't really explain! Even I don't know myself! All these blokes are just...ramblin' about...the Nightmares and...whatever else, I dunno! All I'm doing is just treating a patient right now.
*Aaron let out a sigh after he explained. He was so frustrated, but he was so glad to see Nessa. Maybe she could help...maybe.*
Here, let's go in here.
*He led the way back into the room where everyone else was and saw Ian and Black at the door, obviously listening. Aaron shook his head.*
So childish. This is my good friend, Nessa Lau. She's a wind master and she's a good guy, I promise.
*Aaron then turned his attention back to Rose and smiled when he saw that she was awake.*
You feeling any better? Obviously the morphine is wearing off, but if you're in pain, just tell me. You're still a ways away from being 100 percent better, but you're getting there.

::he could feel the wind picking up from the otherside of the door. He looked to Black as if expecting an answer, then slowly backed away towards the table. He felt the wind die down, followed by silence and the sound of the door opening. He was ready to fight whatever came through the door, but when he saw Aaron and the girl who was introduced as Nessa standing behind him, he relaxed a little::
Sorry, it's been a pretty interesting day for us to say the least
::he looked over to Rose, then to Black, Aaron and Nessa::
Listen, I need to get Rose to the X-Mansion. She can get better treatment there, and hopefully we can find out what Cain and the Nightmares are up to. You're all welcome to come along.
::he looked over to Black::
You can come to if you want. Since you were part of the Nightmares, we could use all the information you can give.

((Lining it!))
__________________________________________________________________________
*A Week Later!*
It had been a week since Blackbriar had brought Rose to Aaron's house, and she had spent almost the whole time sleeping. Finally though her injuries were recovered... well mostly. She was well enough to move around for more then ten minutes with out passing out, and she was slowly getting her strength back. All in all, Aaron's healings were taking affect, sure he had to knock her over the head quite often from pushing herself to much, but atleast she wasn't dying and trying to get stronger, just recovering and trying to get stronger.
Currently Rose sat cross legged outside, staring intently at a bug that was trying to get out of the barrier she'd placed around it. After a few moments she grew tired of the game and decided something bigger would be much better at strengthening her power. She focused in on a tree, though not the outside. Instead, she created a small force field inside of the tree. Her eye's narrowed as she focused, forcing the force field to expand. At first there were no signs of what was happening except for sweat begining to form on Rose's forehead.
Another moment passed by, and finally the sound of the wood bending under the pressure could be heard, the cracking loud enough to easily be heard inside the house. It would alert everyone to what Rose was up to this time, and would probably bring them running outside to stop her, but she didn't care. She wasn't over exerting herself like all of them said. This was nothing. Sure she was tired, but she'd had worse. This wasn't a life or death training session. With a little more focus the cracks in the tree started to show on the outside, growing rapidly.

*Aaron sat in his overly large comfy chair, reading a recent medical book, while focusing on healing Rose. She was almost done and he couldn't wait for everyone to leave so that he could have his house to himself. As he turned a page, Aaron accidentally gave himself a paper cut and a couple drops of blood splattered on the pages.*
Wha..?! Bloody hell...stupid...!
*Aaron threw the book across the room and went upstairs into his room in frustration.*

*Black sat there, paranoid as heck. He was expecting a member of the Nighmares to be around every corner and smile at him cruelly as they slowly tortured him, calling him a traitor. His fantasies were at their peak when he heard a groaning sound coming from outside. Blackbriar tensed immediately.*
They're here...
*He got ready, wanting to protect Rose at any cost. As Black crept downstairs, Aaron rushed upstairs and slammed him bedroom door behind him. Coward, Black thought. He kept going downstairs and took a peak out the window and he fell, dejected. It was only Rose outside and Black sighed with relief. But the groaning sound got louder and he stood up, confused. Black went outside and discovered that it was the tree. He was dumbfounded.*
A...talking tree?
*Yeah...he saw Lord of the Rings.*

Rose didn't seem to notice Blackbriar come outside, or even hear him. She was completely focused on the force field she was creating. The cracks were getting larger and larger.... finally the tree exploded, and quite literally. The spot where she'd been focusing sent wood flying everywhere, while the top just toppled over. When shard of wood came flying towards Rose, Ian, and the house another force field went up, the wood smacking into it. The force field went down and Rose returned her attention to the tree, staring at the damage. Finally she muttered something.
"I can do better then that...."

*Blackbriar's hand instinctively went up to shield himself as the shards of wood went flying and saw that the tree exploded. Why did I think of talking trees? he thought. I'm an idiot. He noticed the wood hitting something invisible and he suddenly realized what Rose's power was. Black heard her mutter that she could do better and he went up behind her.*
You're still recovering, you know. You shouldn't strain yourself until Aaron's done healing you.
*He wasn't lecturing her, just letting her know that the reason her power wasn't as good as it was was because she was still recovering.*

Rose blinked when she heard Blackbriar behind her. She tilted her head back far enough that she could see him with out having to turn around, an innocent look on her face.
"What are you talking about? I'm not straining myself."
Rose was a very good lier, but it was obvious that she had lied. Especially because there were a few drops of sweat on her forehead. She turned her head back to it's natural position, staring straight ahead, trying to find someone else to practice on while speaking.
"Besides, if I can't use my full power even when I'm recovering I'm worthless. The Elder's used to make us keep going at full strength no matter how many bones we broke, how many concussions we had, or how sick we were."

But we're not the elders, and we care whether you're concious or not.
::a concerned voice said behind both Black and Rose. Ian had been out for his usual run most of the day. He stopped by Hawaii to chill out on the beach, then returned here to check on Rose. He came back just in time to see a large tree crack and explode, the house being sheilded by a forcefeild he knew had come from Rose. He walked up to the two of them and stood behind Black while he spoke::
You need to be careful.
