Leaving? But Rift had just been admitted there. "What do you mean...dangerous?" she asked. She couldn't really understand beyond some of the kids being a danger, or some of the druggings what would be dangerous about the place. Well..there was the whole supernatural thing, but from what she understood all the kids there were.

Derek got down. "Just rest, I'll tell you later.", he said, laying with Jason, who seemed less happy about his brother doing that.

Rift sighed, flopping on her back on the bed. Her hair dangled over the edge, hanging a bit down the where those on the lower bunk could see the tips as she lay there. She decided it would be best to just close her eyes, and try to resume her rest until the sun finished rising.

Derek was restless, and looked at the smaller boy hugging him. He seemed to run a hand through Jace's hair. "Rest Jason, rest.", Derek said, slipping out of the bed and gingerly leaving the room.

Rift flickered her eyes open as she heard Derek leave the room. She sat up and stared at the door, her dual toned eyes glistening. She quietly crawled to the edge of the bed, climbing slowly down the ladder to sneak out after Derek.

In a blink, Derek was back. "Huh, do you try and follow guys to the washroom?", Jace joked out, as Derek handed Jace a thermos. "And yeah, I hope you washed you hand.", Jace mumbled before taking a drink. Derek sat down, as Jace moved to make room.

"No...I just..." Rift started, looking to the floor. Embarrassed, she pushed past and ran into the hall. She ran down it, finding a dark corner to sit in. She sat there, burying her face into her knees pulled close to her chest.

Derek growled at Jace. "Go find her and apologize to her.", Derek said as he grabbed Jace, lifting him out of the bed. Jace nodded in fear, not even putting on pants. He gingerly walked through the hall. "Rift.....", he said softly, as he looked around.

Rif heard the soft voice through the hall, yet didn't respond to it. She could tell it was Jace, and she was just not feeling up to responding to him. She pulled her feet closer to her body, to make her appear smaller, and slightly less visible in the darkness.

"C'mon Rift, please, talk to me, if I don't bring you back with a smile, Derek's gonna choke me, he already promised.", Jace said, fear in his voice.

"He wouldn't do tat..." Rift mumbled very quietly. She stared out from the darkness, her cool eyes reflecting a bit of the light.

Jace looked at her. He walked over, gingerly, and crouched. "Please. Rift, come back, he's venting his anger against himself, and--", he said, before looking in her eyes. "I'm sorry about my bad humour, but I'm just trying to lighten the mood, what with Derek smelling new people, and my incident earlier with the skittles, and he's so happy that he has something close to family, and he has you.", Jace said, he was looking away, crying.

He handed her a piece of paper. it was the actual drawing of her and Derek, both very detailed, and colored. "I didn't give the actual picture to him, because I grabbed the wrong one.", Jace said.

Rift's hand slowly reached out, taking the picture and looking it over. She let out a soft sigh. "It's god..." she said, slowly standing by pushing herself against the wall. "I just...sometimes I overreact...it's...one of the reasons I'm here," she tried to explain, looking at the ground. "I'll come back..."

Jace nodded, heading back to the room. He noticed Derek was gone, climbing into his bed. "Derek's gone, he got dressed, put on his baggy jeans and sweater.", Jace said.

Rift's footsteps were light as she followed Jace back, her bare feet gently touching the floor as she walked along. They got back to an empty room, Rift feeling a sinking sensation in her chest. "Where did he go?" she asked.

"He must've went to the backyard.", Jace said. "I'm gonna sleep for a while, close the door on your way out.", Jace said as he sprawled out on the bed, boxer shorts slid down past his rear end. He hadn't noticed that he was wearing Derek's, and luckily, he was laying with his chest to the bed.

Rift's eyes widened, cheeks going flush as she quickly spun around to face her back to Jace. "Alright..." she mumbled, exiting the room and closing the door behind her. She wandered down the hall, toward the door once more. Why would he go back out when we just came in? She wondered, then shrugged it off as he probably felt more at home out there.

She found her way to the door once more, pushing on it to see if it was unlocked still.

It wasn't unlocked.

Rift sighed, her palm against the door. She slumped down beside it, resting her head back against it. She closed her eyes, crossing her arms across her body. "Where did you go?" she whispered. After a few minutes, she stood back up. She remembered Jace said something about Derek smelling new people, maybe there were new arrivals near the front of the house.

She wandered down the halls, still holding herself arms crossed. She wandered toward the front of the house in search for...anybody.
