"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labour does the body." - Seneca


Ears numbed by the beat of her heart, Katherine stood still as she felt the knife inch closer to her fur, almost making her skin sizzle at its distance; the knife made of silver. Taking a deep breath, Katherine did not cease to glare at the human before her, aware that she could be outmatched despite herself being a Non-Mortal.

As the seconds passed by, her door clicked and swung open, but neither of them took their eyes off the other; anger resided inside her as she growled out loud enough for her body to make the knife quiver. She clenched her fist as neither grey nor hazel parted from the other, sparks sizzling in between them.

"Lancaster," a familiar voice spoke as Katherine kept her eyes on this small one, "At ease," the hazel eyed teen obeyed as she retracted her knife from Katherine's neck then took a step back to give her space, enough for Katherine to look behind her, "Sorry about that Wilson."

Katherine glared at him, "Ford, what's the meaning of this?"

He did not respond and merely offered her an apologetic look, before he stepped to the side and made way for someone else; the headmaster stepped into view with her head held high as Ford saluted her as soon as she entered the room. Katherine stiffened her back at her piercing red eyes as much as she felt the rage inside her build, but held herself back.

"I see that you two have met," Madame Hyde spoke as she went further in and looked at both of them, "I'm sure you have questions about her being here."

Katherine gritted her teeth and glanced at the other girl for a minute, "You have no idea."

"Since I cannot ascertain the probability of yourself going rogue from deviant behaviours," Madame Hyde spoke as she turned to the hazel eyed teen, "I have assigned Alexis Lancaster to be your handler."

Katherine growled and snapped her attention to the headmaster, "Handler?"

"She will handle you should your behaviour go south," Madame Hyde explained as Katherine once again looked at Alexis, who remained silent like a soldier obeying orders; her eyes were listlessly observing everything like a hawk. "She is capable of executing you even at the tender age of thirteen."

Katherine turned to her, "She's of the clan?"

"Well, I should let you two get acquainted," she told her without acknowledging her question then turned about to walk out the room with Ford trailing behind her. As the door closed, Ford frowned as if to apologise before the door clicked shut, leaving both teens alone.

Alexis walked towards her and glared her down with a slightly playful smirk in play whilst Katherine reciprocated the glare. She growled at her as Alexis examined her top down before looked away in respect of her target; she hid her knife in her boots whilst Katherine proceeded to change into her pyjamas.

"Just so we're clear," Alexis spoke as she leant against the wall whilst Katherine dressed herself, "My orders are to execute you onsite - whenever and wherever you are," she explained to her as Katherine plopped on her bed nearly uninterested in what she was saying, "But at the same time, I'm also here to help you whenever you can't stand on your own."

Katherine sighed into human form, "Yeah, whatever."

"Well, I'll leave you to your rest," Alexis told her as she turned for the door, "By the way," she spoke softly as Katherine leered up to her - she still disliked the idea of her being here, "You feel odd," she tried to explain as Katherine tilted her head slightly as her anger partially subsided, "Like you're not you somehow."
