Go In Peace is a song, originally sung by Sam Baker, which was later performed by Caroline Forbes in "Let Her Go". Caroline sung this song as a way to say goodbye to her mother.
Go in peace, go in kindness
Go in love, go in faith
Leave the day, the day behind us
Day is done, go in grace
Let us go into the dark
Not afraid, not alone
Let us hope by some good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Let us hope by some good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
- This is the second song to be sung by Candice Accola. The first was "Eternal Flame" in "The House Guest".

Ecological Justice
Research | Policy Statements | Church Resources | Take Action | News
Climate change is the issue of the twenty-first century. It is not one issue among many, but, like the canary in the mine, it is warning us that the way we are living on our planet is causing us to head for disaster.
— Sallie McFague, Vancouver School of Theology
The biblical foundations for creation care unite spirituality with scientific, ecological, and political insights. Through a sense of wonder with creation we are invited to seek God's will for a flourishing ecological community. In the face of climate change, this need has never been more urgent.
Climate change is already causing the extinction of plant and animal species, the melting of northern glaciers, rising sea levels. As a result, we are now seeing conflict over natural resources, threats to agrarian and fisheries-based livelihoods, large-scale migration, and poverty.
A just transition towards a sustainable economy is needed urgently.

5 sleeps, terrace with views, well furnished, great location
The apartment has a modern furnishing an is only a few steps away from the ancient Greek theatre and from the cable car which ferries tourists to and from the seaside resorts down along the coast (such as the famous Isola Bella). The apartment is in the centre of Taormina, but offers the tranquility and the views of a house at the sea. The apartment is located in a typical Italian 'palazzo', that has been subdivided in a couple of apartments.
The apartment is on the 1st floor (without elevator) and is divided in two levels. The first level consists of a bathroom, a modern kitchen with a dining table and seven chairs, a corner with 2 single sofa beds (both high quality), and windows with views on Taormina. The upper level consists of a bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, and a bedroom with a single bed. From this level there is access to the terrace with a set of table and chairs and a view on the Ionian coast and some palm trees.
Taormina: Taormina has been a very popular tourist destination since the 19th century. It has popular beaches on the Ionian sea, which is remarkably warm and has a high salt content. Beautifully restored medieval buildings, breathtaking views around every corner and a giddy network of winding streets strewn with shops, bars and restaurants make for a perfect holiday spot. Just south of Taormina is the Isola Bella, a nature reserve and a beautiful bay. Tours of the Capo Sant' Andrea grottos are also available. Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna. Many manifestations and events are organized during the summer in Taormina. The exceptional frame for pop and classical concerts, opera and important performances is the Ancient Theatre. Taormina is served by its very own cable car which ferries tourists to and from the seaside resorts down along the coast.
Exploring Mount Etna: Taormina is also an excellent base from which to explore Mount Etna and its surroundings. The villages of Etna, such as Piedimonte Etneo, Castiglione and Francavilla di Sicilia and Randazzo are famous for their ancient lava flows, the architecture of their seventeenth century churches, their delicious local produce and the hospitality of the villagers. Situated 700 metres above sea level, they are a favourite retreat of the city dwellers who, in summer are in search of cool, fresh air, while in winter are in search of snow for skiing. Few people are aware that Etna is a popular location for skiers in winter. On some glorious days in winter, it's even possible to ski the frozen slopes in the morning enjoying a wonderful panoramic view of the Mediterranean, and then, the same afternoon, go and sunbathe on the beaches below.

Very Nice Flat in the mid of Taormina...
It is a very nice Flat in the mid of the Town of Taormina. It is one of the highest Houses in the lower Part near the antic theatre. The service of the customer was very good... especialy becaus our flight was delayd by 5 houres and i had to call an tell him that we will arrive late in te evening araound 10 pm. It was no Problem...
property was very clean and comfortable
Arrived late in the evening.Would have appreciated milk in fridge,Overall enjoyed our stay.
Unfulfilled Potential
The property was attractive but was suffering from neglect. It was advertised as 'air-conditioned' and this was not true. The double bedroom upstairs was air-conditioned, but the second bedroom was not and downstairs had no air-conditioning which was uncomfortable. The roof terrace was nice but there was a broken chair left there and the clothes dryer was full of rust. There is no wifi, which in this day and age is disappointing.The views from the apartment are stunning and with a little care and attention, this apartment could merit 5 stars. As it is, and for the significant weekly rate, it was a disappointment in many respects and I would not choose it again.
Très beau appartement proche du centre de Taormina
Très beau appartement proche du centre de Taormina avec une terrasse superbe , très calme comme en campagne et proche de tout.
Une très belle vue sur la baie de Giardini Naxos , très romantique pour les couples.
great Taormina apartment
The apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos -- well-appointed apartment with a terrace, fabulous views, and three separate sleeping areas -- and the owners were gracious enough to accommodate a last-minute change in plans when our arrival was delayed due to weather.
The location can't be beat: just off Corso Umberto, near the tourist office and Porto Messina, with gorgeous views from the windows and terrace. But be forewarned: getting to the apartment requires climbing a generous number of stairs, whichever way you approach it. This is not a location for the elderly or those who do not enjoy climbing (lots of) stairs.
There's a well-stocked grocery store at the far end of Corso Umberto, past Porto Catania, and a number of smaller groceries within two or three blocks of the apartment. We took a day trip to Agrigento and Enna with a car and driver from Sicily Life, which we would recommend, and would also recommend the ristorante near the apartment, La Botte, and the gelateria on Corso Umberto most of the way to Porto Catania (on the right).
The major drawback of this apartment is the lack of internet access. In this day and age, visitors want and need access to the internet. Not only is there no internet in the apartment, there is only one internet cafe in Taormina (near the other end of the Corso Umberto). However, we found that we could sit outside and "borrow" the wifi signal from the virtual casino on Via Iallia Bassia, about three blocks away.
Taormina is a lovely town in a delightful location, and this apartment makes a stay in Taormina both enjoyable and feasible. Buon viaggio!
Great location
Superb location which could not have been better, 3 minutes from main street and 5 minutes from cable car.
Immaculately clean.
Well laid out and stock more than sufficiently with hairdryer, iron, coffee maker, washing machine etc.
Apartment is located in a quiet area of Taormina, i.e. not distraction from passing traffic or people.
I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone.
Wonder around the narrow streets in the evening, you are guaranteed to find a nicer resturant every evening. Check out Deja Vu bar (in piazza paladini) and Morgana bar's, or site on the patio of the apartment you may be treated to fire-works display over the harbour.
Great place. Go for if, it is fabulous.
Activity and Interests
Taormina is a a chic and picturesque town that is also renown as 'the pearl of the Mediterranean sea'. The apartment is located in a typical Italian 'palazzo', that has been subdivided in a couple of apartments. The elegant palazzo can be reached by walking towards the Greek theatre, turning left in a ascending side street (with about 20 steps).
The houses' location in the centre of Taormina makes it ideal for a stay at any time of the year. Taormina is blessed with sunshine all year round. Once Taormina was a climatic spa for winter holidays. Tourism during summer has developed only in the last decades.
Other Activities: Escursion to Mount Etna.

|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Optical Spectroscopy for Non-invasive Diagnosis of Melanoma and Assessment of Impact of UV Exposure on Skin
- Investigate the ability of the fiber-optic probe to identify lesions of melanoma and severe/high-grade dysplasia [ Time Frame: 3 years ]To correct for skin color effect and heterogeneity, the readings of the pigmented lesion will be normalized by the readings taken from the corresponding normal skin around the lesion.
- To test whether the fiber-optic probe can discriminate the severe/high-grade dysplasia from the mild and moderate dysplastic nevi; [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
- To test whether the fiber-optic probe readings are different among tissues with different degree of sun exposure [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
- To test whether the fiber-optic probe readings are different between the most and the least suspicious lesions [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
A pigmented lesion is removed as part of the subjects routine care when it is felt to be suspicious for severe atypica or early malignancy, and sometimes because the patient desires removal of lesions for cosmetic reasons, or because the lesion is irritated or located in a zone of traum.
For this research study, samples of the tumor tissue from these clinical care biopsies will be studied.
Researchers will look at markers and search for additional characteristics that may help them better understand Melanoma. This will be optional to subjects. If subjects do not agree to have their tissue kept for future research purposes they can still participate in the rest of this study.

text: 2010 NFL Mock Draft 7.0 (cont.) 11CMaurkice PounceyFloridaJr.6-5312(BRONCOS ACQUIRED PICK FROM BEARS)The Broncos love Pouncey and might end up moving down in the first round and taking him wherever they land (but it better be ahead of the No. 18 Steelers because they love him too). Although it's a bit high for an interior offensive lineman, the Broncos aren't afraid to take him at 11. Texas safety Earl Thomas and OSU receiver Dez Bryant are the other two good options.12*SEarl ThomasTexasSo.5-10197*DRAFT-DAY TRADE! EAGLES TRADE UP FROM NO. 24 TO DOLPHINS' SPOTI think Philadelphia is the team most motivated to move up in the draft, because they've got the extra picks and the desire to land one of the top two safeties, either Berry or Thomas. Not loving their likely options at 12, the Dolphins are ready and willing to move down, probably with the hopes that Texas OLB Sergio Kindle is still there at No. 24. If Miami doesn't move, I'd give them Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan at 12.13OTAnthony DavisRutgersJr.6-6325We could easily see the 49ers going for Clausen here on the premise that he won't last until their No. 17 pick. But Davis is one of the draft's top four offensive tackles and he fills a major need. If San Francisco thinks cornerback first, it should have its pick between Joe Haden and Kyle Wilson.14RBC.J. SpillerClemsonSr.5-11195(SEAHAWKS ACQUIRED PICK FROM BRONCOS)Seeing Spiller still on the board would stifle the Seahawks' urge to select Clausen and really complicate their future quarterback situation (about that Charlie Whitehurst trade...). Seattle believes Spiller has Chris Johnson-like home-run capability.15CBJoe HadenFloridaJr.5-11190New York is going to feel a bit disappointed because it wanted either McClain or Thomas, but neither are there. Taking the draft's consensus top-rated cornerback shouldn't feel like a consolation prize, but it just might.16DE-OLBBrandon GrahamMichiganSr.6-1263If Pierre-Paul gets to them and Graham is still on the board, the Titans will be staring at their two top options for jacking up their pass rush. We'd probably go with Pierre-Paul in that scenario. But since he's gone to No. 8 Oakland in our mock, the Titans snap up Graham just before teams like the No. 17 49ers, the No. 19 Falcons and the No. 22 Patriots get the chance.17QBJimmy ClausenNotre DameJr.6-3223(49ERS ACQUIRED PICK FROM PANTHERS)The 49ers really like the ex-Golden Domer, and they're still our best guess for where he lands. With two first-rounders, San Francisco is best positioned to take a little gamble on a quarterback, and I think only the chance to grab Boise State cornerback Kyle Wilson here tempts the 49ers to go in another direction than Clausen.18CBKyle WilsonBoise StateSr.5-10186The Steelers would take Pouncey in a heartbeat, but if he's Denver's pick somewhere above them, they'll have no problem jumping on Wilson and taking care of their glaring need to upgrade at cornerback.19DEDerrick MorganGeorgia TechJr.6-4272The Falcons, in need of a front-seven player who can spruce up their pass rush, can't believe their luck in finding Morgan, a hometown hero of sorts, still on the board. He's a versatile 4-3 end who many believe is the draft's safest pass-rushing prospect.20RBRyan MathewsFresno StateJr.5-11220The Texans don't see a defensive tackle worth this slot, and Texas safety Earl Thomas is long gone, so it's an easy card to turn in for Mathews, the draft's second-highest rated rusher. He's a move-the-chains inside runner who really changes the dynamic on first and second down in Houston.\t\t\tPicks 1-10\tPicks 21-32\t

Speaker Profile
ICF Chairman and Co-founder John G. Jung originated the Intelligent Community concept and continues to serve as the Forum's leading visionary. Formerly President and CEO of the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance, Calgary Economic Development Authority and Canada's Technology Triangle, he is a registered professional urban planner, urban designer and economic developer. He leads regular international business missions to US, European, Asian, Indian and Australian cities, and originated the ICF Immersion Lab program. John is a regular speaker at universities and conferences and serves as an advisor to regional and national leaders on Intelligent Community development. He has also given presentations to Prime Ministers, Presidents and Royalty around the world. As one of the Co-authors of Brain Gain and other books on Smart Cities and Intelligent Communities, John recently presented the book as a featured speaker at the Ottawa Writer's Festival. He is also the author of numerous articles in planning and economic development journals, has received global and Toronto-based awards for his work in collaboration and strategic development and sits on numerous boards, task forces and international advisory boards.
John has been the principle urban navigator for the ICF Immersion Labs in Asia and the USA. He has been invited to lead or participate in high-level delegations around the world at which he has promoted the Intelligent Community movement, including presentations to international associations, global mayors and councils, and heads of state, including Presidents and Premiers of countries and to royal families and their guests. John was instrumental in founding ICF Canada and has been leading the effort to create other ICF Nations around the world. With his help, ICF Canada has published its first paper Sharpening Canada's Competitive Edge.
John developed, executed and wrote the content for the whitepaper Creating City-to City Connections. He is a co-author of the ICF books Brain Gain, Broadband Economies: Creating the Community of the 21st Century and Seizing Our Destiny.
- "John Jung spoke at TEDxPiraí, in March 2014. He is a wonderful professional but also an inspiring human being. His speech was filled with new ideas that captured the attention of everyone at the event, talking about different aspects of cities around the world. He made Piraí's community think differently to make things better. It was such a good experience that I'd highly recommend John Jung as a speaker for any kind of event." - Marco Andrade Brandao, TEDxRio
- "John Jung delivered an extraordinary presentation on the international movement toward Intelligent Communities, the benefits to citizens, and the context cities face in this global movement. He does what few speakers can do: he provides the global context for Intelligent Communities, but he also presents the road map for becoming part of this elite group of cities. John delivers inspiring talks that alert local communities to the possibilities that await the bold, and the standards to which they are held when they seek to become Intelligent Community leaders. John is more than just an eloquent speaker on a topic he is clearly passionate about; he is an ambassador for the Intelligent Community Forum brand, its goals, and its mandate." - Terence Sooley, Director, Research & Conference Production, Strategy Institute
- "Waterfront Toronto's journey towards an Intelligent Community started in June 2004 at the Intelligent Community Forum Summit in New York City. That is where I first heard John Jung talk about the merits of an intelligent community and how different cities around the world had been re-shaped by their efforts to adopt this strategy. My discussions with John after the Forum led us to the start of a 10 year path – one that saw us install Canada's very first open access ultra-broadband network. Apart from technology, the other components of the Intelligent Community Forum's mantra, things like digital inclusion, have helped us shape our strategy." - John Campbell, President & CEO, Waterfront Toronto

Five things you didn't know about 'Gears of War 3'
Fans of Epic Games' Gears of War series — which has sold more than 13 million copies since it first debuted five years ago — have likely circled Sept. 20 on their calendar to commemorate the launch of the upcoming Gears of War 3 (http://xbox.com/gearsofwar).
This Xbox 360 exclusive once again lets you climb into the boots of Marcus Fenix, a seasoned war hero and leader of Delta Squad, as he vows to protect the human race from relentless aliens known as the Locust as well as a new subterranean threat.
If you've been following the news about this sci-fi sequel, you're probably aware that there are new playable characters, high-tech weapons, expansive environments and both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes to compliment the single-player campaign.
Gears of War 3 is built on the latest Unreal Engine 3 technology for high-definition graphics, smooth animation and Hollywood-quality special effects.
What's that, you say? You know all of this already?
Well, if you're itching for some lesser-known information about this upcoming shooter —and the series, as a whole — we caught up with Jim Brown, lead level designer at Epic Games, to share some factoids.
Gender bending
Lieutenant Minh Young Kim from the original Gears of War was originally written as a supporting female character. And at one point in development, the team considered letting players choose the gender of one of the game's main characters, Dom Santiago. Dom would be playable as either Dominic or Dominique, depending the player's preference. While it was always a goal for the development team, playable female characters wouldn't actually make it into the game until Gears of War 3.
That other game
Gears of War was originally conceived as a large-scale vehicle-based warfare game. The gameplay was largely multiplayer focused, and teams competed for resources to establish military bases across large battlefields. While that design was eventually abandoned in favor of the more intimate, cover-based gameplay, the ideas behind that gametype became the basis for the Onslaught mode in the game Unreal Tournament 2004, and were eventually flushed out even further in the Warfare game in Unreal Tournament 3.
Musical chairs
In the original reveal trailers for Gears of War, Marcus was not only voiced by an entirely different actor, but his model was completely redone before shipping. Dom was renamed from Dom Glynn to Dom Santiago. And Cole and Baird's roles were originally reversed, with Baird in the role of a sports star reminiscent of David Beckham. The development team later gravitated toward actor Jamie Foxx in the movie Any Given Sunday as the archetype for Cole. Even the series' signature weapons changed roles, as the Hammerburst rifle at one point had a drill attached to the front as a counterpoint to the Lancer's signature chainsaw bayonet.
Last-second save
General Raam, one of the most beloved game "bosses" of all time, was a last-minute addition who almost didn't make it into the game. Due to time constraints and production deadlines, the entire story as to why and how you were on the train to fight him was cut from the original release, and wasn't added back in until the release of Gears of War for the PC. While Raam has been voted a favorite game character in many public polls, his full story remains to be told.
History repeats itself
Several of the main characters in the Gears of War series are based on the life experiences of the Epic development team. Augustus Cole, a.k.a. "The Cole Train," was named after Phil Cole, a level designer at Epic Games. Damon Baird was named after a childhood friend of Epic's design director, Cliff Bleszinski. Even the infamous General Raam was named after the owner of a local Indian restaurant frequented by Epic's staff. The back story of the game's main protagonist, Marcus Fenix, and several other themes present throughout the series, were influenced by the life stories of Bleszinski, Epic's executive producer Rod Fergusson and a few other team members who poured their hearts and soulsinto the making of the game.

The wind be my constant companion
I woke up in a white room, it was not big, it was what you got when you thought big and dreamed of when you heard large. he sat up quickly, this just made him dizzy, there was a man sitting by the door, he looked like a patchwork man, when he saw me get up he walked over and said to me "don't do that, the drugs we gave you were very powerful, by all rights you should not be awake by now". I cricked my neak, "i feal dead, if thats what you mean", I awnsered back. "don't wory, that was probably the thunderbolt, we had to use it becouse we thought you were dead".
I looked at him in shock, Ded, whel i am obviously not so why whould that ocour to him. i asked him this. "you had water leaking out of the cut from the nedle, that, in most people meens there dead".
"didn't you ask why these people wanted a boy"? i asked. He replied "igors don't ask questions", That was strange i thought, he sounds like a person from a terry pratchet novel. "why don't igors ask questions then", i asked him. My only reply was "I don't know, i never asked". I groaned at this feble atempt at humor, Geat i thought, im traped in a room with frankendtine and For another thing he realy does have bad jokes. This was going to be a long imprisonment.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Labor and delivery are unpredictable. Labor pain might be more intense than you expected, or it might hurt in a different way. Even if you have a plan for managing labor pain, you might change it as labor progresses — or your labor might prompt your health care provider to suggest a pain relief option that wasn't in your original plan.
Keep in mind that birth isn't a test of endurance. You won't have failed if you ask for pain relief. One thing is certain: The more you learn about options for managing labor pain, the more prepared you'll be to handle labor — however it unfolds.
So what's the bottom line on managing labor pain? Think about what appeals to you, and ask your health care provider these questions:
Talk to your labor partner about your plan for pain relief before you go into labor. Review your plan with your health care team when you arrive at the hospital or birthing center to give birth. Remember, you're free to request pain relief at any point during labor and delivery. It's rarely too late for help. Trust your health care team to provide you with information about your options as your labor progresses — and trust yourself to make your own choices when it comes to pain management.

Nov. 29: Asian session
EUR/USD is trading above $1.3600. So far euro set high at $1.3621. Euro kept strengthening as investors pared bets for additional easing by the ECB ahead of the region's inflation data due today at 10:00 GMT. The euro area's unemployment rate will also be released at this time, while earlier we'll hear of German retail sales at 07:00 GMT and French consumer spending at 07:45 GMT. A report released yesterday showed consumer prices in Germany, Europe's largest economy, accelerated more than expected. No data out of the US today.
GBP/USD reached $1.6374, the highest level since August 2011. The pair's rising for the fourth day as the Bank of England's Governor Mark Carney said the central bank will end incentives for mortgage lending to head off threats to financial stability from the housing market. Nationwide HPI is due at 07:00 today.
Yen selling continues as risk-appetite remains strong. USD/JPY pushed to a new high of 102.60 today, but met resistance and eased to 102.20 as of writing. EUR/JPY has hit a fresh 5-year low at 139.70. Japan published a large block of mixed statistics in the Asian session: consumer inflation indices came above the forecasts, but the industrial production unemployment rate and consumer confidence disappointed to the downside. USD/CHF is trading in the 0.9050 area after it declined by 20 pips yesterday.
AUD/USD dipped to a fresh 2.5-month low at $0.9055 before recovering some ground to $0.9090. AUD weakened on the news that Australia blocked a $2.7 billion bid by US agribusiness company Archer Daniels Midland. The deal could have provided more capital to boost the sector. Another bad news for the Aussie was that the mining giant Rio Tinto had closed its loss-making aluminum refinery where 1,500 people are employed. NZD/USD has also recovered back above the $0.8100 mark after having dipped to $0.8083. New Zealand building permits in October fell by 0.6% m/m (vs. expected +1.7%). USD/CAD once again rose to the 1.0600 handle. Canadian dollar fell after the country's current account deficit narrowed less than expected in Q3, signaling export growth remains subdued. Canada will publish Sept. GDP at 13:30 GMT.

Keke Palmer wants everyone to keep their personal stuff well...personal.
Palmer took to Twitter to call out Charlie Puth for confronting Bella Thorne on the same social media platform after he assumed she had been cheating on boyfriend Tyler Posey with him. "I can't believe what I'm reading," he said. "No one should have their heart messed with like this, and I'm not going to be in the middle of it."
Puth, 25, made it clear he was no longer interested in pursuing Thorne. But Palmer feels that Puth should've avoided social media and confronted the actress directly. "Why couldn't you have just texted @bellathorne in private if you were confused? The interview is dated. So sorry Bella, ignore," she wrote.
Thorne later retweeted Palmer's message and added her own.

"Charlie and I were hanging out..he saw an old interview and got butthurt but instead of texting me and asking about it he put it on Twitter," she wrote.
The interview Palmer is referring to is an article that appeared in Paper magazine Thursday that included heartwarming quotes from Thorne about Posey. "When [Posey and I] first started dating, paparazzi got a photo of us kissing outside and it sucked that people got that photo because we really didn't want it out at that time," the actress explained. "We were obviously dating and hanging out, but it just wasn't necessary to put that in front of everyone's face, you know? That one sucked."
To clear the air, Thorne tweeted a link to the article and added, "Ty and I have been broken up for like over two weeks and charlie and I ARENT DATING we are friends. That article was written forever ago."
When a fan responded saying she thought Thorne and Posey had broken up, Thorne responded, "Thank youuuu finally someone's paying attention."
Posey has yet to acknowledge the situation on any of his social media accounts.
Several weeks ago, Puth tweeted about the "kiss of his life," which many of his fans assumed was with Thorne. The pair took their romance public Sunday when they got close in Miami Beach. Later that night, they made their red carpet debut at the 2016 Y-100 Jingle Ball concert.

The property surrounding Xavier's school really was beautiful. I had been there for about 5 days, not including my time spent unconscious in the medical centre. Garan, Mark and Gabrielle spent their mornings and afternoons in various classes, but I was exempt, considering that my studies consisted of observing mutants for my thesis. I had managed to get a hold of my advisor, who was pretty pissed at me, considering we hadn't spoken in months. I couldn't explain to her why I had dropped off the face of the Earth. I just told her that I had reconsidered my thesis topic, and I was changing it to something more closely related to the on-going tensions between humans and mutants. I told my thesis advisor that I was staying at Xavier's school for an undetermined amount of time, and she nearly died from excitement. I think I was forgiven.
When I wasn't writing my thesis, which I seemed to find more and more reasons to put off, I would walk the grounds. Always barefoot. I had spent too long locked up in a cold, metal facility. I wanted to feel the grass between my toes, and the wind on my skin. Often, I would wake up in the middle of the night, dreaming I was enclosed with in the small walls of the isolation tank. I could see Hunter standing above me, but he couldn't help me. Captain had him by the throat and was choking the life out of him. The whole time, Hunter stared at me with accusing eyes. I protected you, they said. This is your fault.I would wake up panting and sweating, then I would grab a blanket and run outside. Gazing up at the stars, knowing I wasn't locked up again, was the only thing that could get me to sleep on those nights.
Last night had been one of those nights. I couldn't sleep in my bed. I had woken up staring at the empty bed across from me, knowing that Tacy should be there. She should be here with me, safe and away from John's touch. Her absence felt as accusing as Hunter's glare in my dream. So I got out of bed and went for a walk. I had walked all night long, and when the sun rose, I kept walking. I never went in for breakfast. I didn't want to see anyone today. I just wanted to be alone, and maybe to cry a little bit.
I followed the tree line, right around the edge of the expansive property. The trees melded into a large forest on the other side of the iron-wrought fence. Here and there was a gap in the fence, replaced by a tree with a massive trunk, older than the school itself. I pressed my hand to one of these ancient tress, listening to the wind whisper through its branches.
"You sleep at all last night, kid?" Logan's voice came gruffly from behind me, shocking me out of my reverie. I turned to face him. He was dressed in his customary jeans and white muscle shirt, with his old leather jacket thrown on over top. He held a lit cigar in his hands, and I watched as he put it to his lips and puffed out a cloud of fumes. That same smell seemed to hang around him constantly; cigar smoke, mixed with a musky, woodsy scent. Even when he appeared relaxed, as he did now, his stance was tense, almost primal, as if he were ready to spring and attack with a feral grace at any given moment.
"I don't think so, no," I answered honestly.
"Something on your mind?" he asked. I shrugged. Logan lowered his cigar, and pressed it into his palm. I bit back a shout of protest, even as I heard the sickening sizzle of burning flesh. Logan grunted in pain, then disconnected the cigar from his skin and stowed it in his jacket pocket. I watched as the skin knit itself back together, covering the burned flesh with flawless pink skin. Logan held up his hand for my inspection. "Everything can heal, kid, if we give it a chance."
"Wow. That almost sounded enlightened, even for you," I grinned. Logan just grunted.
"Watch yourself. I'm just trying to be helpful. You know, good teacher," he said in his deep baritone.
"What exactly do you teach?" I raised an eyebrow. Logan looked offended by the question.
For some reason, I found that funny. I chuckled once, an Logan looked incredibly satisfied with himself. "See, that wasn't so bad, now was it?" he asked, and I had to smile at him.
"No, not half bad at all," I grinned, but my initial worries crept back in to my mind, and I sighed. "Alright, you win. I'm just worried about the others," I explained to him. "Back at the MCA. We were a family, and I just left them. I figured it would be best for me to go, since I'm no one special, but now . . ."
"What do you mean, no one special?" Logan asked abruptly. I looked at him, one brow raised as if the answer were obvious. "Kid, just because you don't have any powers, doesn't mean you're not special." Logan growled. He didn't sound angry, but his voice was full of intensity. "I doubt any of your mutant friends would've been smart enough to figure their own way out of that place without getting caught."
His sudden praise made me blush. "Well, I had some help . . ." I answered modestly.
"Was it a boy?" Logan asked, and, surprised, I nodded. Logan looked smug. "I knew it. There's always a boy involved. Your boyfriend?"
I shrugged. "I guess so. He was one of the guards, but he hated what they were doing to us. He showed me the tunnel that allowed me to escape." A sudden thought struck me. "Logan, why haven't we made our assault against the MCA yet?"
"We don't have enough." I opened my mouth to protest, and Logan raised his hands defensively. "I know, we have your testimony, and the others. But the government won't take the word of four kids against a company that, as far as we can tell, is considered to be totally legitimate."
"So there's nothing we can do?" I asked angrily.
"We just keep digging, kid, and keep training, until we have something to light the fire underneath them."
In the woods beside us, I heard a sudden rustling of leaves. I heard Logan sniff once, twice, then I heard the steely grating of metal as three claws, each about a foot long and made of an impossibly shiny metal, slid out between the knuckles of each hand. He pointed those claws in the direction of the trees. "Show yourself," he threatened deeply. My body tensed.
The leaves rustled visibly, and a person stumbled through them. She was smaller than me, and her face was impossibly dirty. Underneath a layer of grime, I knew her hair would be the lightest blonde I had ever seen. "Tacy," I breathed, not daring to believe my eyes. Tacy caught my gaze, and her face split in to a dazzling white smile. She stumbled forward the last few metres, limping slightly on her left leg, and flung both arms around me. I didn't care that she was covering my clean clothes with dirt. "You're alive," I breathed. Tacy nodded firmly in to my shoulder, and I could feel her tears staining the front of my shirt.
"I take it you two know each other," Logan said. Tacy let go of me, and stepped back a little ways. She stiffened as she took in Logan. He raised both hands in a gesture of peace, even as he retracted his metal claws back in to his hands. Tacy's stance didn't change.
"Logan, this is Tacy, my best friend from the MCA." I introduced him. "Tacy, this is Logan. He's one of the X-Men. He's going to help us." Tacy glanced at Logan again, her expression doubtful. "Tacy doesn't speak all too much," I said to Logan in explanation for her silence. Logan nodded, unsurprised. I assumed he had met uncommunicative new mutants before.
"Let's take her to see Storm," was all he said.
I led Tacy across the ground and into the school. Classes had just let out, so the halls were crowded with mutant kids. I could sense that Tacy was watching them walk through walls and levitate their notebooks with as much amazement as I had on my first day there. I could see Pete and Booby leaning up against the wall outside of Bobby's Chemistry classroom. The other students still hadn't gotten used to the novelty of having me around, and seeing me with a new, somewhat dirty, and exceptionally beautiful mutant girl had them all staring as Logan led us into Storm's office.
Class had just let out, and I had hurried to Bobby's class room to have a quick discussion before my second period Gym class arrived. I found Bobby outside the Chemistry room, giving advice to one of his more challenging students. "Bobby," I said, even as the student blanched and said a quick goodbye to his teacher at my approach, I tended to have that affect on a lot of the students; it rarely bothered me anymore. "You promised me last week we'd have our guy's night. You, me, Warren . . . Maybe even Logan, if he wants to come. No girlfriends, no students, just some old school fun times." I chuckled.
"Look, I know I promised, Pete," Booby said, deflecting. "It's just that Rogue really needs me right now, what with the baby, and-" I rolled my eyes, cutting his speech short. I'd heard it all before.
"Yeah, I get it. Man, being the only single one really sucks sometimes," I said, turning my head away from Bobby, towards the crowds of students milling about in the halls. That was when I saw her.
She was beautiful. Her face was streaked with mud and filth, but somehow, that made her look even more perfect. Her long, pale blonde hair was pulled back into a high pony tail, one that swung back and forth entrancingly with every step. Her eyes were a clear, bright blue that seemed like pieces of the ocean had gotten caught up in her long lashes. She was with the new girl, Carmen, who had her arms wrapped around her shoulders in a comforting way. Suddenly, I found myself wishing I was in Carmen's position. That I could be the one holding on to those delicate shoulders, offering words of comfort.
"Dude, are you here?" Bobby asked, half joking, but his face showed real concern. I felt certain I was gaping across the hall Ike an idiot, but I didn't care.
"Who is that?" I asked, hearing the note of desperation in my voice.
Bobby turned his gaze to follow mine. "I dunno. Carmen's friend from the MCA I guess," Bobby shrugged. "She's pretty."
Just pretty? She was a vision, perfection, entrancing, a masterpiece walked straight off the artist's canvas. She filled my vision, she was all I could see. All that mattered. I had to know her.
Storm was in her office, sitting at the leather desk chair in front of the computer, when Logan led us in and shut the door behind him with a snap. Storm looked up at the noise and her eyes widened as she took in Tacy, covered with mud and dirt. "Is this another one?" Storm asked. "From the MCA, I mean?"
I nodded. "This is Tacy, my best friend," I said. "Tacy, this is Ororo, but everyone calls her Storm. She runs Xavier's school now, and she's going to help us save our friends." Tacy nodded her understanding.
"How did she escape?" Storm asked curiously. I turned to Tacy and smiled kindly. She blinked once, before signing with rapid fingers.
'After Garan, Gabrielle and Mark escaped, John was furious. He executed Tyler and Diamond in front of all of us.' I felt tears well up in my eyes, and a pang of sympathy hit me for Adam. Poor Adam, who had to watch his girlfriend die . . . 'A fight broke out, and Courtney was killed too.' I squeezed her shoulder; she had been close to Courtney, closer than any of us. 'John took me up to his rooms that night. He told me . . . terrible things.' Tacy shuddered, and I felt the urge to punch John right in his face, maybe knock out a few of his perfect teeth. 'I hurt him. I knocked him out. Then I ran. I slipped out the front doors, no one noticed me. I did my best to throw John off my trail before coming here; that's why it took so long.' Her hands stopped moving, and I nodded in understanding.
I glanced at Logan and Storm, but I only saw confusion in their eyes. I remembered that neither one of them knew sign language. I decided to give the Cliffs Notes version. "Tacy prefers not to speak," I said for Storm's benefit. "She told me that after the others escaped, John executed three of the mutants. Tacy was taken into his private rooms for a. . . personal session," I grimaced. "She was able to knock him out, and she escaped, thankfully, with her life."
'That's not all I escaped with.' Tacy reached into her bag, which I hadn't seen before, and pulled out a large manila envelope. She opened it and pulled out a large stack of file folders, each stamped with the name of a mutant kid. She handed the stack to Storm, whose eyes were wide with the sheer volume of the files. 'These were in John's office. If everything he had on all of us - profiles, test results, journals . . .'
"Ha!" I exclaimed, jumping triumphantly to my feet. "How's that for proof! In your face, government!" I did a little happy dance on the spot. Logan and Storm had each grabbed a file folder, and they were looking through them carefully. I glanced down at the stack. The name Dracoll, Carmenjumped out at me from the middle of the pile. I pulled the file out and opened it. Next to my picture was my name, birth date, birth hospital, everything about me, right down to my favorite ice cream flavor. Weird. I flipped the page. Here were Captain's private notes on my personality.
Subject had shown to be disrespectful towards authority, unnecessarily sarcastic, rude and uncooperative. Disciplinary action required. Well, no surprises there. I perused the notes, quickly scanning over the entries, chuckling quietly at some of them. Then something caught my eye at the bottom of the page. TO BE TERMINATED.
"You're right, this should certainly be enough to get to them. Well done, Tacy, and you too, Carmen," Storm said approvingly. When I didn't answer, she raised her eyes to my face. "Carmen?" she asked, quizzical as to the expression she saw there.
I sat down on the nearest chair heavily, my mind a turmoil of different emotions. Rage, betrayal, pain, disgust, and even more rage. "They were going to terminate me." I said, the calm in my voice belying my anger.
"What?" Logan asked stupidly. Tacy's hand had flown to her mouth in pain in shock.
"They were going to terminate me. They were going to kill me, to wipe my existence off the face of the earth," I felt the anger rising in my chest, and my voice rose with it. "THOSE FUCKING BASTARDS!"
"Carmen, calm down," Storm raised her hands soothingly, but I didn't want to calm down. The rage was building, but it didn't feel like my rage. The calm, rational part of my mind told me I was over reacting, and the rest of me knew it too. But something inside me had just snapped, a barrier had broken, and I could feel floods of emotion rolling around me. I stood abruptly.
"THEY WERE GONNA KILL ME! I DON"T WANT TO CALM DOWN, I WANT TO KILL THEM!" I screeched angrily. The volume of my voice surprised even me. I looked around for something to throw, I was that angry. That's when I felt a slight pressure on my shoulder, and the floods of rage evaporated with Tacy's touch. I still felt the burning, pressuring anger in my chest, but it was my own, and I could control it. I breathed deeply, squeezing my eyes shut.
"Hey, kid, you okay?" Logan asked cautiously. I opened my eyes and blinked rapidly.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." I lied through my teeth. "What just happened?" Logan shrugged, and Storm stared at me in a calculative fashion. Tacy just rubbed my shoulder's soothingly, as I struggled to hold my rage in check. "Maybe I'm just tired," I offered. "I haven't slept in days. Maybe I should just take Tacy to our room and we can sleep."
Storm looked satisfied with this. "Alright, then. We'll discuss this further in the morning." I nodded my understanding, and Tacy took me by the hand to steer me out of the office. Logan stayed behind, and I watched him take a very obvious step towards Storm sitting at her desk. I glanced back over my shoulder and gave him a very significant look, causing him to drop his eyes to the floor with either guilt or embarrassment, I couldn't tell.
Back in our dorm room, I listened to Tacy's happy squeals as she took a shower for the first time in weeks. I tried to ignore the conflicting emotions that were in my head, and outside of it too, pressing up against me and trying to force their way in. I tried to stifle them, like I had so many times before but I couldn't. The barrier had broken, and I couldn't repair It now. I could only wonder what it all meant.
Tacy finished her shower, and sank blissfully into the soft, cotton sheets on her bed. I knew that she, at least, would sleep peacefully tonight. I was glad of that; at least one of us could be comfortable. I tried not to reflect on what had happened as I closed my eyes and drifted into an uneasy rest.
My dreams were plagued with fire and hurt. I don't know if I ever really slept. It all felt so real. I could feel it all around me: sadness so deep it made me want to bawl my eyes out, pain so strong I tore at my hair, anger and rage that set my skin aflame, oblivious to my screaming. There was also love too, and happiness, and peace, but no where near enough to block out the burning, no where near enough to soothe the pain. The worst part was that none of it came from me. Every hurt, every tear, every burning angry flame, came from some one else. I felt it all as if it were my own, and I felt every reason behind it. Every lovers quarrel, every broken friendship, every whiplash, every beating and every scream was mine to live and re live. I clawed at my skin as the fire burned through me, the pain tearing open the hole in my chest with a searing pain of a bullet, piercing me through my core. My eyes flashed open, swimming with tears that were not my own, burning with fire that ate me from the inside out.
I think that's when the screaming began.
Cliffhanger! Mwahaha, I feel so evil!
The next chapter will be up as soon as Sarah finishes writing it... I have been sternly lecturing her on the importance of writing for several days, so I'm hoping it won't take to long... :P
Love it? Hate it? Let me know!

Olivet students worked together to clear debris left in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
A couple stopped by to thank students who were picking up flags from a veteran memorial that had been strewn about by the storm. "It was great that something so small could mean so much," said sophomore Sarah High.

Brian Kelly had just one logical answer.
Asked about the next evolution of Notre Dame's offense heading into the bye week, the Irish head coach pointed straight at the position that's carved out a national reputation during the past decade but hasn't lived up to it this season.
"I think a lot of it is probably just continue to mature at the quarterback position," Kelly said. "I think some of it had a little bit to do with the tight end position and we need to be a little bit better on the perimeter with our tight end blocking."
Tight end has been a first thought in Notre Dame's offense under Kelly. It's been an afterthought this season as injury and inexperience have conspired against a position where the Irish seemed to have an endless supply of NFL talent. They won't this season and might not for the next few as Alize' Jones, Nic Weishar and Tyler Luatua develop while Durham Smythe heals.
That group should remain in tact for the next two seasons.
"We all have our roles, we all know our roles and I think we're all doing pretty well so far," Weishar said. "There's been times, 'Wow, I'm playing USC right now,' which is pretty surreal. I think as far as the reps go, coach (Scott) Booker has done a pretty nice jobs spreading out the reps for all the four tight ends."
Chase Hounshell rounds out the rotation but like Luatua has been used almost exclusively in blocking roles.
Jones leads the position with 14 targets, nine catches and 117 yards. Weishar is next at three catches for 19 yards.
To put that in perspective, Notre Dame's top two tight ends have combined to average 49.4 catches per year during Kelly's five seasons. The Jones-Weishar combination is on track for 22 receptions this fall.
Considering the extreme youth that's hit the tight end position – even with a healthy Smythe – some drop was expected. Now it's on Jones and Weishar to narrow that gap in the passing game while Luatua and Hounshell stick to the ground.
For Weishar, his growth has gone as expected, moving from red-shirt to red-shirt freshman this off-season while trying to bulk up his wiry 6-foot-4, 241-pound frame.
"The game experience has been huge for me," he said. "Fall camp was great to be able to get the reps and obviously games are different. It's been good to be out there, get a lot of plays in. That's my goal to keep getting better each week."
Notre Dame's offense could use it, with tight end now the fifth option in the passing game. Even Jones' biggest play, that 37-yard catch last weekend against USC, came off a trick play pass from Torii Hunter Jr. When it comes to DeShone Kizer, the tight end has been overlooked much more than it's been targeted.
Understanding the offense better should help change that trend. That's where Smythe can still impact the offense, even while recovering from shoulder and knee surgeries.
"Durham's been great." Weishar said. "Obviously he was the guy with the most reps and the most game experience. He just provides little tips, what do you do if a defensive lineman gets his hands in your face, things like that. He's just been a great overall friend and mentor to all the tight ends."

Chapter Twelve: A Death or Two Beneath the MoonMature
"So he doesn't want the girl to find out he forged the will" Zara smirked. She was standing in the alley, watching as Silus vomited ferociously into the gutter.
"Yeah" Zara said. She flicked it off the end of the knife. "Little shit deserved it". She turned to the lawyer. "Find out what he wants done about the girl… Molly he said her name was. If he wants her dead, we'll need to discuss a new price. Come find me when you know, we'll be at the inn. I'll find out what Miss Hiddlestone knows, and then Warren can decide what he wants done to her". She smiled at him. "No more games Si. You don't want to end up like Warren" she said, grinning at the horrified look that graced his face as a cat grabbed Warren's testicle and swallowed it whole.
Zara fled into the night, leaving Silus to ponder her words. She made her way through the darkened streets of London, before finding her way to the Inn. After glancing quickly around the room, she spotted Ezra in one corner, sitting opposite Lydia Hiddlestone, laughing. The duo both had glasses of wine in front of them. Lydia leaned back in her chair, her chest heaving with laughter at Ezra's words. Zara's brother simply smiled and took a sip from his glass.
She flitted around the inn, before landing in the seat next to her brother. Lydia jumped and let out a gasp, Ezra merely nodded his head in greeting. "This is Miss Hiddlestone" Ezra said.
"Pleasure to meet you" Zara said, glancing at Lydia before turning back to Ezra. "She's not the real problem".
"Problem?" Lydia asked.
Ezra turned to Zara. "What do you mean?"
"Do you know about the will?" Zara asked.
"The one Bartholomew left for Warren?" Lydia asked.
"See" Zara said, turning back to Ezra, "She doesn't know anything". She turned back to Lydia. "Warren forged it. The good doctor really left it all to someone called Molly".
"Molly?" Lydia's eyes widened.
"What can you tell us about her?"
"S-she… the doctor kind of adopted her I guess… saved her in a way… she was dead… or very near it at the least. He helped her… gave her new parts… rebuilt her". Lydia smiled. "She has firey red hair… and when she's nearby, you can hear a faint ticking noise". She looked up at them through slightly damp eyes. "From the new parts he gave her. She's very beautiful".
"A ticking?" Zara asked.
"Yeah" Lydia said, "Kind of like a clock".
"Fuck" Zara said.
"What?" Ezra asked.
"I think I saw that girl the other day. She ran past me on the street".
"At least you have an idea what she looks like".
"Does she know about the will?" Ezra asked.
"I don't know" Zara said. "Si is finding out what Warren wants us to do about the girl".
"What do you mean what he wants you to do?" Lydia asked.
"We're assassins" Zara said, "and mercenaries for hire".
Lydia's eyes widened. She made to get up but Ezra blocked her path. "Sorry, but we can't have you warning her". Ezra's hand flew forward, stabbing at her throat. Blood spurted from the base of her throat as Ezra withdrew the blade and it slid back up his sleeve.
"Why the hell did you do that?" Zara asked.
"You told her too much. Could not risk her going to this Molly girl. Come on, let's go". He stood. Zara stared at Lydia's body.
"She could have led us to the girl" she muttered. She glanced at Ezra as he made his way across the inn toward the stairs. "And since when do we kill innocent women?" she asked herself. She shook her head and stood, and then followed her brother.
Halfway across the room, she stopped. "Fuck this" she said. Zara turned and left through the front door of the inn. A light drizzle had begun to fall. Pulling her hood up, Zara drifted off into the night, wandering through the streets, no destination in mind.
She came to an open boulevard that happened to be empty of all life. With a few quick jumps, she scaled the stone statue that stood in the centre and rested in its arms. Zara cast her eyes to the sky and stared at the stars, before drawing out her dagger and gazing at where the moonlight glittered on it.
The sound of raised voices came from the opposite side of the boulevard. She looked down and saw a familiar face run into the open. The whore she had twice saved was running from yet another client; this one carrying a gun in one hand, a knife in the other.
"Get the fuck back here, bitch" he screamed. He was a grizzled man, somewhere in his late fifties. His pants were open, his manhood hanging free as he pursued her. As the woman passed beneath Zara, she dropped from her perch and landed between the predator and his prey.
"What do you think you are doing?" she asked, as the man came to a stop in front of her.
"Stay the fuck out of this. Ain't nothing for no woman to be getting involved in".
Zara turned and looked at the whore. She was shaking. "She's a woman" Zara said. "And it very much appears to have something to do with her".
"Shut your bitch mouth" he growled. "Let me finish what I started".
"That won't be happening".
"Listen here" he said, turning his full attention to Zara. "I paid that whore for a service. Unless you want to fulfil her duty for her, get out of my way so I can fuck her".
"And then kill her?" Zara asked, looking at his weapons.
"What's it to you?"
"Everything". Zara's hand darted forward and sent his knife spinning from his hand. She brought her blade around in one fluid motion and sliced into his gun-wielding wrist. The man dropped the weapon. He fell to his knees, trying to stem the flow from the wound as he swore and grunted with pain. Zara bent down and picked up the gun. She held it out to the other woman.
"Would you like to do the honours?" she asked.
She took the gun from Zara and held it in a shaking hand. She pointed it at her attacker. She pulled the trigger. His crotch exploded. Zara smirked as the man screamed and keeled over. "Nice shot" she said. Zara knelt down next to him and smiled before sifting through his pockets and removing what money and trinkets she could find. She handed them to the woman. "These are yours now". She smiled. "Don't worry, they won't trace anything to you".
"T-thanks" the woman said. "Again…"
"My pleasure" Zara said.
"You've saved me three times and I don't even know your name" she said.
Zara extended her hand. "It's Zara" she said.
The woman shook it. "I'm Lana" she said.
"That's a very pretty name Lana". Zara held onto the other woman's hand, pulled her close and kissed her. "Come on" she said. "Let's go somewhere safe. I'll look after you tonight". They set off together, hand in hand, leaving the corpse behind in a pool of blood.
