Betterment of mankind

[Carissa Frank]

Carissa had moved to head the other directions as most the others. Her plans were to head to Lachry Mall. She knew needed to do a get a few things not wanting anyone to know about. The girl also knew that if went to the others people would walk in and wonder what all was going on. Everything this year seem to be going bad for the ones that had most to loose. The Pratt's which been best friends with hers was prime example. The breakout in Britian made it all worse since it proved that no where was safe. What if Trip was to escape and go after Patrick? Would he have told about her brother that no one knows about. The Alger had to help her family. Plus if this potion that was being made worked her family would be even more popular. The girl would use it to heal all that need it.

She walked down the alley wearing a black hoodie with it up hoping not to drawl attention. It would be easy for someone to see was made of money had Carissa not kept hands in pocket. The perfect manicured nails and skin was different completed to others seen.

Finally she looked around before slipping inside of Toil and Trouble. Once there finally took hands out pulling out parchment that had elegant hand writing with lost of things needed.

1)Galanthus Nivalis
2)Jobberknoll feather
3) Polypody
4) Runespoor egg
5)Lionfish spine

"Okay Carissa, you can do this. All have to do is get the items and then pay. Some the others need can get at other mall. These main one others not know about." She whispered to herself one so others could not hear. The other though was the Alger really did not know if she could go through this like originally plan. Carissa then move over grabbing a basket walking through the isle. The girl put all the different items in basket along with some that were not on list. Those were ones that were dangerous and did not want list being found with evidence.

Carissa finally moved to head to the register happy. They would not care who she was so no one would know it was a well known name doing it all. Once getting her things bagged moved to the door putting hood back up. She now needed to go to eat and by a few other books that could make her things better.

[James Geoffrey]

It was a miracle that James was in Toil and Trouble, but he needed some Dragonfly Thorax. It was here that he saw Carissa Frank buying ingrediants for something. He watched her, making note of a few things that she purchased. James was no potion prodegy so Lionfish spine and Jabberknoll feathers meant nothing to him.

After finding the Dragonfly thorax James looked around the store only to see her walking out, bags in hand. Quickly he paid for the only ingredient he didnt have but needed in his girding potion, then quickly walked from the store. The Skull tried to see where she went, only seeing the backside of a black hoodie.

"Carissa!" James said a little louder than his normal voice, it was no use to yell in the mall.

[Carissa Frank]

Carissa heard her name being called trying to think of who it might have been that seen her. She turned her eyes a little seeing James standing there. The Alger needed to make sure that he did not way a single world of the items bought. If did then she could be in trouble. "James get over here and be quiet. What are you doing here I mean most people spend there time at other mall."

The witch then stood there holding her bag close to her tight. The Skull most likely would keep a secret about what she bought; however it would cause more problems since she have to tell him why she needed them. If just told that wanted to help make a potion that would help improve the memory and physical health of special needs. Would that been simple and allow him to believe it. It was the truth she just did not want them to know it was her brother that wanted to protect.

[James Geoffrey]

"Yeah I needed some Dragonfly thoraxes for a potion that I am going to work on in a couple of months and just wanted to make sure that I had everything when the time came," James said, knowing that the prophecy procliamed for the showdown to happen after Beltaine and as the date got closer they would probably be on 'house arrest', but just in case they tried to pull anything prior to then he would have some ready to go.

James didn't mention anything about what she bought, knowing that everyone had their secrets. It was however nice to know that she was doing something, that she didn't want anyone else to know about, especially since she specifically went here knowing that almost everyone else was at the other mall. Maybe she could be the favor he needed. "Are you hungry?" he asked." I was just about to get something to eat, would you like to join me?"

[Carissa Frank]

Carissa looked James over a little when he finally got close enough to see if he could really be trusted. There was a small ounce that seem to say yes for simple fact that he did not ask her about anything she bought during this trip. Her potion unlike him would be started soon. "You are correct in fact that it better to be prepared. Hate to make something time sensitive then waste it trying get items."

The Alger was not sure what he was up to but knew that it was the direction she planed on going any ways before stopped. Carissa kept her hood up not wanting anyone else to bother taking James arm softly. "Yes I am rather hungry." It would not hurt for them to walk together. "If you will notice that is the direction already heading. So since you have requested would love to join. What were you planning on getting."

[James Geoffrey]

"Oh, nothing too fancy, probably just a burger and fries." James said shrugging. As they walked James made sure that it looked like two friends were walking together and nothing else. Not that being seen with Carissa wouldn't help his social image.

"What do you think of the prophecy that The Seven will be returning?" James asked. The seven had a nasty habit of showing up right when things were going well, and since Valentines was quickly approaching. He wasn't all to sure that they shouldnt be on thei toes now.

[Carissa Frank]

Carissa walked right next to him working on trying to think about what she wanted to eat. The food might not be the best food here. Most of it had been really greasy which was not the best. "That sounds good but think once there will decide what want. Not sure if going to want all the fired food. Think might get small baked chicken and side salad. Want to eat healthy before going to study."

The girl really wanted to work on getting this potions done to help her brother. You never knew who was in the sevens but it easy to see they used people to get what want. This group also would kill if had to. "The Seven will come back soon. They have been quiet for almost two months. Not sure if want this to happen though."

[James Geoffrey]

"Yeah I am not sure that we want them to come back" James hadn't been involved with The Seven the last time that they had come. He had been on the bluff when the lighthouse had been attacked. "Do you think that we should be practicing. I mean it was completely random that the students that were involved were chosen. What if its us next?" James wondered aloud. Yeah James was pretty good at magic, and excelled in Charms, but he wondered how he would actually fare against one of The Seven. Walker was a senior and he died. How did he expect himself to last.

[Carissa Frank]

"Truth part of them wants me to come back at right time though. One we can plan though so that all the right officials are there. It be like a trap to get them and protect the rest of the students." She did not know if could handle losing anymore of her friends. It easy to see love was not meant for her so had to protect and make brother strong. "It not as if like them. Just don't want them come back when not able stop them."

The Alger move to get her food before heading to table in back. "Yes we should be practicing but problem is that they use dark magic. We get into trouble of did. The problem like everything else is how to make sure not to get caught." Carissa knew now that if got away with doing experiment potions for brother. Then would work on making poisons stronger to give to the seven and those that follow.

[James Geoffrey]

James nodded in agreement with Carissa. "Well we have the one upper hand, the lighthouses' profecy said that it was after Beltaine, and whatever their plan was, it involved the students, so obviously it'll be before the end of the school year." It wasn't that far off.

"You know Carissa,what if they try something on the Valentine's Day dance... Should we go together, with something ready if it does happen?" James asked hoping that she would pick up on the fact that he just asked her to the dance.

[Carissa Frank]

Carissa listened to everything he was saying and started to wonder how he remembered all this. She listened to the keepers and lighthouse about the prophecy. The main thing she remembered was they would attack the school. “Their plans seem to always involve students. It's like the baddies can’t go after ones that are their size but those younger. I mean when you look at what they done so far most of it happened at the school.”

The Alger was a little shocked hearing that he was thinking about taking her to the dance. The truth though was that she did not have anything planned for it. Every other dance or event had been easy for her. It always was Pat taking  her. but now it was different for fact they were just friends and parents did not want them to see each other. “They would really be stupid to try anything at Valentine’s since by now the teachers are all going to be ready. Therefore if they are smart and sneaky would try it anyways but get someone as they either come or go. If I was an evil baddy that's what I would want to do. So if you really want to sure. Let’s go to the Valentine’s dance together. Plus since I have enough time I can look for a dress that has lots of seams and places to hide things I might need.” That also allowed the witch to not look like a fool in front of her cheerleader friends because she did not have date.

[James Geoffrey]

James was elated that Carissa agreed to go to the dance with him. "Perfect, just let me know what color I need to get for my tie to match." James said with a little too much exuberance. Of course that left the decision of a regular tie versus a bow tie. His mother always loved him in a bow tie. Personally he didnt care but cumberbuns always felt like he had to suck in. "What time should I pick you up?" He asked.

[Carissa Frank]

“Well I not really sure what time would be great. If they plan on attacking he would not be at the very begging of dance. If did it would only allow minimum damage to the students they out to hurt.” She mention when talking about what time should be picked up. The girl never was the first one there because coming later let you become an interest to other not paying attention. “I not really sure what color going to wear. Will actually go pick the dress out after finish lunch with you? My favorite color though with my skin are light colors mostly pinks and lavenders.”
