Kitty glanced at the two girls sitting down, seeing that Heather said not a word, and even k'8, who was looking up at her, kept quiet. It was a bit of a surprise, no defiant reaction from her or anything, just silence now. With that, she turned to Sara, who looked a bit reluctant to speak. But she spoke anyway, and Kitty listened. So the creature was an odd little creation of hers. There was alarm in the girl's voice, and it was obvious that she cared for the 'golem'.
"Right. Well, I think I'll allow you to keep this...Amos, but he belongs outside. He is not allowed in the school, and he is not allowed to interfere with your studies and practices. As it seems to appear, he causes a distraction, and is a liability for chaos, assuming that the reason he was stumbling out of the door when I got here, due to k'8's demons," she said to Sara, who looked a bit scared. Kitty was not a vicious or heartless person. She would allow her to keep the golem, but only under circumstances that would have to be understood and followed.
As she finished speaking, k'8 spoke. Well...that was shortlived, she thought to herself as she inhaled a breath and exhaled. Her hand was still firmly on the daemon spawner's shoulder, and she closed her eyes shut as she squeezed k'8's shoulder so that she would stop carrying on. "What did I say not just a minute ago, k'8? I said not to say a word, and you are still not in a position to threaten anyone," she said, her voice carrying out with a minute sign of strain as she opened her eyes and looked down at her. "I'm taking care of it k'8, now be quiet," she said, working to keep her voice under control. She looked back to the girl with the odd creature as she waited for another answer.

Heather sat there, listening to the entire conversation. So Amos was created by Sara, and then came to life. It was a shocking story, and apparently Sara had the ability to bring inanimate objects to life. That was a cool power, however dangerous as they now saw.
Hearing K'8 speak made the comfortable silence break and she couldn't help but roll her eyes again. This girl can't shut up ever, she thought to herself. She didn't want to be immature and create another yelling match with the demon spawner. Instead, Heather stood her ground and kept her mouth shut. She wanted to just clean up her mess and get out of there. The drama thing was getting old and Heather wanted to find someone else to talk to. Maybe Lorelai or Lurai, since they were considered friends. Then again, she needed to apologize to Ian first before anything. She sat there, thinking about where she could find him at the moment.

[Note: Amos while originally made of mud, sculpted into a bear, with a lion's head, and large bat-like wings, when he came alive turned into the creature of which he was a statue, and is now a creature of flesh and blood, with fur, not a mud creature]
"Alright," Sara said to Kitty. "Thank you. Can he stay in the stable? I made a bed there for him of straw the other day and he seems comfortable and, most importantly, not scared there. He still has a hard time if I leave him alone...maybe he could sit at the edge of the field or something during practices so he isn't close enough to get into trouble but also I can keep an eye on him and he won't feel abandoned." Then she softly said to Kate. "He just got a little mud on him from outside. I can clean him off."

K'8 was not going to say another word. She could feel the tension in Kitty's grip and she didn't want to be the one on the team that would make her snap. So without speaking she just mocked Sara. Moving her lips 'he just got a little mud on him blah blah blah' and rolling her eyes in imitation of the girl. Trying to do it in a way that didn't move her shoulders at all so that Kitty wouldn't catch on.

Kitty heard Sara out, and debated for a moment. She had to make sure that it was convenient and comfortable for everyone, to keep the peace. "Alright. He can live in the stables. But he must not cause any kind of commotion, or I'll take the issue of Amos up with either Miss Frost or Cyclops. I'm sure that's not what you want, is it? And he can be allowed to sit at the edge of our team's practices, again, as long as he doesn't disturb what is going on," she said, sighing a bit. She saw that Sara had lowered her voice when she spoke to k'8.
In turn, Kitty looked down at the girl whose shoulder her hand still rested on. Surprisingly, she said nothing in return, but she could have sworn that she saw her mouthing words silently. She slowly blinked as she glimpsed her mocking Sara, and then it made her think. When she had come in, Guardian had been flaming the demon that she had found out was mimicking his form, and then right before it disappeared, it had flashed Kurt's form in front of her as it had to have seen her. Was it just her who had seen that? Or had everyone else seen it too? Now she had another question to ask.
Arrangements regarding Amos had been settled now, but Kitty was still unsatisfied now that something clicked in her head. "Let me ask you all something. When I came in, and the demons were all disappearing, did one of them, as far as you saw, take on the form of Nightcrawler?" she asked, looking at each one of them with inquiring but authoritative eyes, prompting them to speak what they knew.

Heather listened to Shadowkat and Sara's conversation. This was getting boring and she wanted to leave more than she did a second ago. She looked to K'8 at the corner of her eye, when she noticed her mouth moving. "Oh Christ," she mumbled, seeing the demon girl mocking poor Sara. How more immature can you get, she finished silently.
Her attention was drawn back to her team leader however when she mentioned one of the demons looking like Nightcrawler. Did it? She didn't remember for she was too upset at the whole situation. The demons were scary and that was a given, especially if she and everyone else in the room (besides K'8) knew what they where capable of. The water bender bit her lip and thought about it. She remembered each one of them disappearing, however it happened so fast. And she was mostly concentrated on the lizard looking one. Heather shook her head in response to her instructor. "No," she said softly. "I don't remember...sorry." She brought her hands to her eyes and rubbed them. This whole week has been a mess. First Lorelai and Ian, then the attack, then Lorelai and Ian were together (not that it mattered anymore), her mom and dad fighting over the phone, and now K'8 was being a pain. What next?

"You mean 'putty-man'? Yeah he changes shapes and is great at impersonations, I like him alot!" k'8 said, happy to be able to talk again. "He looked like Aqua and Guardian, and then her over there." k'8 pointed at Sara.
"Then, I dunno, yeah he did after Guardian burned him up, he looked like Nightcrawler." She thought for a second and said "I wonder how?" she looked up at Kitty with her mouth twisted up in confusion.

Aleksey was listening to the whole thing. He felt really bad for what he did. He wasn't inside the kitchen, he was standing outside the door, hiding against the wall. He never did anything to hurt anyone before, or anything, no matter what it was.
"K'8?" Came a deep voice from outside the kitchen. "I'm really sorry for what I did to Mr. Putty-man" it said in a very sorrow tone. Half a head protruded through the edge of the door to the kitchen, the rest of the body was still hiding. It was Guardian, he was hiding from everyone. "I don't know what came over me, I've never done anything like that before, something strange inside me made do it. It was like something took over my mind, and I simply acted on instinct and emotion instead of reasoning. I know you probably won't forgive me for it" Aleksey said looking down at the floor.

Kevin led Sean out of the library to the kitchen where they could both get a bite to eat. It had been a good deal of time since the early morning when they had first giotten to the liberry and Kevin had spent several hours sculpting. They would hopefully be able to find Guardian after the found some food to eat and Kevin was excited to be able to spend some time talking and walking with the new boy anyway.
When all of a suddon he saw Guardian standing in the door way , well right next to the door way of the kitchen. 'What luck' Kevin thought, but he couldn't decide if it was good or bad.
"Hey Sean, there he is and look others are in the kitchen too. Maybe we're missing a meal or something let's see what theyre talking about. Wanna?"

Kitty looked to each one of the girls on her team as they answered, Heather, and k'8. So Heather didn't realy know anything, but k'8 said more regarding the little demon. She had even given it a name, and explained that it mocked everyone who was in the room/came in the room it seems. So the demon itself knew what it was doing. but was k'8 controlling it somehow? But as she unsurely confirmed that it did look like Nightcrawler she wondered how, so that had to have answered her question. Kitty looked down at the girl as she looked up at her, pursing her lips in thought. Apparently k'8's demons could each have a different purpose and ability, abitlities like shapeshifting to demoralize the opponent, because Kitty was still a bit unnerved at seeing Kurt. It was a more formidable ability, though the kinds of demons that are bled out are left up to chance.
Another voice, a newer one, snapped Kitty out of her short reverie, and she looked to the doorway of the kitchen to see half of Guardian's dragon head peeking in. He was.. apologizing to k'8 for burning the shapeshifting demon. He spoke about his instincts..maybe he should be helped to know when to let his instincts kick in and take over. That floated around her mind for a second before she spoke. "Come in, Guardian," she said gently, seeing that he looked remorseful and was staring down at the floor. She only hoped k'8 wouldn't blow up again.

Aleksey hesitated a bit, he didn't want K'8 to dislike him due to his uncontrollable actions. Shadowkat didn't seem to be angry either. He slowly came out of hiding and walked back into the kitchen still looking down at the floor with his giant filthy cloak covering the rest of his body.
Aleksey slowly pulled his eyes off of the floor and looked up at K'8. "Do you think you could forgive me for what I did?" he said in a sorrowful tone. "I know you are attached to your spawns, they are a part of you, litterally, and I won't let it happen again...I hope" he added looking at K'8.

Heather looked to Aleksey when she heard him apologize. She couldn't hold it in any longer. "Why are you apologizing?" she said while raising her voice. "K'8 was laughing...LAUGHING the whole time and scaring Amos and you did the right thing. Nothing would have stopped those things." She crossed her arms and gave K'8 a quick look of anger before shutting herself up. She knew that what she just said was wrong and Shadowkat would probably tell her to be quite again. But it had gone to far and her morning was ruined for a second day in a row.
Heather bit her lip, straining from saying anything else and tuned out. The only words she wanted to hear next where either "You may leave" or something in that nature.

Jumper walked in from his work out to grab another granola bar, but as eh did he heard all the arguing. Something had happened and he was glad he missed it. The kitchen was a mess and everyone, even Shadowkat looked annoyed and pissed. So as he took a step into the kitchen and looked around, smiling his usual smile. "Well hey everyone, I see your in the middle of something. Ill stop back later." Nodding more to himself then anyone else he turned and headed out of the kitchen. Curious as to what happened, but not wanting to get in the middle of it. He had enough on his mind.

Aleksey looked at Heather, "you're right, it was scaring Amos, but I should have just kept it away instead of setting it on fire" he said. "I was very well aware of what I was doing, but I had no control over it" he added. Aleksey wasn't sure what else to say, there were many people already there making him feel uncomfortable as it was.
"I just felt aggrivated, my eyes felt like they were burning, and I felt a rush of power flowing through me, a scary power that overpowered my own" Aleksey said looking at his hands. "Maybe I really am what hundreds have made me out to be" He said, "maybe I really am...a monster."

"Guardian, " k'8 said "you are the biggest wimp I think I've ever met. You're no monster, you're a marshmallow peep. You let that bitch Aqua shove you offa your moral high horse? Why? I think you do owe me AND mr. putty-man an apology, but he probably wont come back over for a long time now." Katie was noticeably upset at the realization that her demon friend would actually not come back for a while.
She turned to Heather and said "And you can stick it up your tight scrawny ass you nasty, rollin your eyes at me, wishin you had some guy, quitter. I don't need your help anyway I'll do it without you and when I'm totally wicked awesome with my powers then just try and roll your eyes at me." She stood up shrugging Kitty's hand off of her shoulder.
"I really don't care if you make me clean up this mess Miss Pryde, but I don't want to have to look at Heather's two faces anymore. At least I say what I feel and if it hurts someone they can tell me back, I don't have to like it, but they can tell me." k'8 sneered as she spoke about Heather. "With Aqua she never tells you what she's thinking and just let's a teammate down. She quit on me and I don't like her for that. Sara threatened me and I don't like the threat, but I like her for standin up to me. Guardian, well he just sucks and he ain't worth the air it'd take to tell you why. So punish me but please end the agony of havin me lookin at them."
K'8 wanted to get this over with and maybe she could coax mr.putty-man to come back if she had a chance to cut later on. She knew whoever was to come over to this side from wherever they lived could take a message to him, well she hoped they would at least.
