Torri looked out in front of her at the long path leading out from the school. She was still very sensative from the intense bruising on her body, and she couldn't walk without great effort and pain resistance. And it was all because she had come to this school. The source of this pain was the school.
Granted, she wasn't just basing her anger on one thing, she had been thinking for a good while that it would be better for her.... if she wasn't at this school....
Sighing slightly, Torri folded her arms over her chest, wincing and sucking a painful breath. She didn't particularly feel a...well.....a sence of homliness at this school... but she had made friends.....more than a friend in Riker, but she didn't feel like she belonged. She didn't feel like she belonged anywhere.
She sighed again, thinking about if there was ANY way that she could fix her problem.....her problem being her freakish mutant power. Torri hated it, she was hated for it by her mother, and somehow....it made her feel more empty inside than anything.
She would need to think about this.

Riker was walking along the path to the lawn. He was tired and bruised. His back still hurt immensely. There was going to be massive scars. He really just wanted to lay in an ice cold river. As he walked along a path he saw Torri up ahead. He walked up slowly to her as not to scare her, lightly putting his arms around her. He wanted to be careful as to not hurt her. He planted a kiss on her cheek. "Why is it that whenever I see you, your face always has this mournful look on it. I really do hate seeing that, it makes me sad to see such beauty soiled by pain."

Torri winced and turned around sharply, relaxing only a little as she saw the person be Riker. She took a second to shake off the feeling of shock before her stern and sad face softened to that of affection. "Oh, hello Riker, sorry, i didn't hear you come up." she said gently, turning her head to return a kiss on his own cheek.
Turning herself around fully, she winced slightly as she moved to wrap her arms lightly around his side. "I'm sorry, i was just thinking of something, thats all..." she sighed quietly, trying to keep herself from moving as little as possible.

Riker smiled down at her. "What is on your mind my belle fleur" he said smiling at her. He was trying to be extremely careful as they were both in pain and had no urge to make it any worse. He kissed the top of her head to make her feel more comfortable.

Torri shook her head lightly, refusing to move her body at all bar her head which was the only part not physically hurt. "Its.....It's um...." she fumbled to find her words, not sure in which place her mind sat; in leaving, or staying. "Riker....what would you do if i left.....like....left the school...." she said quietly, speaking softly into his neck. "How would that affect you ?" she asked, moving forward a little and wincing again.

Riker felt his face fall and his arms drop from her. He backed away. His shoulders fell. In all honesty if Torri left he didn't know what he'd do. He felt a tear slide down his face. "My darling I want you to be happy, but I would miss you, more than you could ever imagine."

Torri looked shocked and hurt as Riker backed from her, seeing the tear run down his face she lurched forward on instinct, instantly regretting it as she had to reach out and grip onto his shoulders so as to keep her from buckling at the knee. "Riker, you've only known me a few days, why would you miss me so much?"" she whispered softly, pulling herself back up and flinching from the pain in her ribs.
"Riker.... i don't belong here.....i never wanted to come here in the frist place, i never wanted to have to leave home, i never wanted to be a .....a.....mutant" she said quietly, her voice low and almost hurt as she spoke.

Riker felt the tears start to fall. "You don't understand Torri, for a wolf, you meet your mate and you know, you know that they are the most compatible for you, you know that you would risk your life for them, you know that every moment of every day is meant for them. You know that you love them, because of every part of them. Because everything about them is absolutely perfect." He looked down at her small frame and sighed. "But in that same sense, you want that person to be happy." He wiped away his tears.

Torri looked down with a small hint of her own tears forming. "Riker...i..." she sighed again, ignoring her aching and severe pain in her chest, and hugging him close to her. "Riker...i'm sorry!" she said in a small cry, moving her hands around to grip his. "I dont know what im going to do, i want to leave....but i can't.....i have nothing to leave to!" she cried, resting her head hard against his shoulder and letting silent tears fall from the corners of her eyes.
"Tell me what im supposed to do! tell me what i should do. After that fight....after that fight i just want to be normal Riker. I want to go home, and...and be able to walk around without having to be jeered at as the *mutant freak* anymore. I want to go home and not have to hide because my mother can't accept that im different to her! i dont want to be a mutant" she cried, openly weeping on his shoulder.

Riker petted her head slightly before he came to a conclusion. "I can't tell you what to do, because in the end it is your decision. I can tell you this though. You may not want to be a mutant Torri and you may want a normal life, but the truth of the matter is, you will always be a mutant, you will always be different. You can't just keep running away from who you are. Eventually you'll just have to face it, face the truth, that you are who you are and the only thing you can do is make the choices that you believe are the best. I want you to be happy, and I want you to do what you think will help you most, but I will always be a wolf, so I will always be a mutant, I will never get to be something else. You can blend in if you really want Shimmer, you know you can, so you can leave, but I can't come with you. I'll miss you, but you know I'll always be here with open arms, because no matter what you look like or what abnormality seems to drive you to dislike yourself, I'll always accept you, because you are Torri Moore to me and always will be" he said finishing softly. He held her in his arms and just let her cry. Torri would make up her mind on her own and either way he was pretty sure she'd leave him. It hurt his heart to know such a thing, but more than ever he just wanted her to be happy, and if pretending she wasn't who she was made her happy then well, he'd just have to accept that.
"If pretending you are not who you are makes you happy, well I'll just have to accept that" he said repeating his thoughts to her out loud. "If you don't want to be a mutant, well just stop. Concentrate on not using your powers and leave, but know that you will be missed, because the people here love you and consider you a sister to their family, and I will miss you because to me your more than just a friend your a girl I will love for the rest of my life. You are my perfect match, and if I love you as much as I say I do then the obvious resolution I will come to is that, you can do what makes you happy and I will just have to deal with it, because I'd rather have you happy everyday than to selfishly keep you here for me and have you sad."

Torri sighed lightly, dropping her hands from his side. Shec ontinued crying on his shoulder and her hacking and ragged breathing was all that could be heard from her, she was unable to speak, think, feel anything than her own head throbbing. "Riker i don't know what im going to do...." she sobbed, raising her head from his shoulder and looking up into his eyes. "I don't see how i'm ever going to be of use in a battle....so there is no point in me being here.....but i don't want to leave you!" she said, replacing her head lightly on his shoulder.

"One day, I promise, when you train, and when you advance in your power, you will be all that you can ever imagine. I mean look at me I was about as useful as a rock in that battle, but I still did something. I protected you, and you protected my sister. If you weren't there I'm not sure she'd still be here. You are far from useless in anything" he said as he hugged her to his body trying to give her soothing words.

Torri tried to hold back her wincing as she was hugged to Rikers always warm and comforting body. She didn't want to alert to the fact that she had snuck away from being seen in the medical lab and was refusing to return. She hated being made a fuss when nothing was truely needed from it. And as stupid as it sounded to her now, she had thought that the pain would leave her eventually, that she would heal herself, when in fact she probably had a cracked rib or something. Even walking was intensely painful to her now.
"I had to save her, she's your sister. Shes closer to you than I am, you would be crushed if she had gotten hurt." she mumbled gently as she - slowly - raised her arms up to wrap them around his shoulders. He always made her feel more calm, more relaxed, more secure in herself that she couldn't understand why she wan'ted to leave that feeling."Riker, i can't leave you, i just can't. But i want to get away from here so badly. I'm always going to be scared that, any minute, something like that fight is gonna happen, i mean, they all left with hardly any injuries.....we were almost gonners."
Looking up gently at his always sweet, adorable face, Torri smiled lightly. Leaning up with excruciating pain, she placed another soft kiss on both of his cheeks. "Without you Riker, i probably wouldn't have survived that blast, i was too sore to move, im still sore, but you saved me! so technically, you have only yourself to thank for your sister being saved." she mumbled, blushing a little to herself, she didn't feel like she had been much use at all, if anything she had been in the way of everyone when they were doing all the work.

Riker smiled when she kissed him, but wasn't fooled that easily. "Don't worry, if anything like that ever happens again, I'll protect you, even if it cost my life" he said holding her closely but being careful just in case she was still hurt, which he was pretty sure of since she was moving incredibly slow.
"Torri have you been to the hospital yet"he asked backing away from her slightly. He looked at her with a stern and concerned look.

Slowly, Torri looked down to the floor, "I've been...too the hospital...yes, but, i uh.....i was fine, they let me walk out..." she lied. She had hidden herself and snuck out quietly, her easy escape always seemed to come in handy in those situations. "But don't worry, i can move, i'm fine....just a bumps and bruises is all..." she lied again, although she wasn't sure what had happened to her at all.
"Anyway Riker, there are people alot worse off than me....i was just swated by Colossus....nothing too big a deal." her voice becoming more and more quiet with each phrase as she tried to shrink into herself again, only then having to forcively hide a wince as tears stung to her eyes.
