If there was one thing Brian Kerr hated more than people walking on eggshells around him, it was people walking on eggshells around him and whispering behind his back. He stared through the glass panel at the producer and his assistant muttering behind their hands. He was sure he’d seen them glancing at him from the corner of their eye every now and then. He sighed and rubbed at his eyes with a hand, suddenly overwhelmed with the need to get out of here. Every second felt like a year, and he was certain that if he stayed here he’d go crazy.

From the moment he'd woken up that morning, Brian had wanted to crawl right back into bed. He'd considered not showing up at all but he'd promised that he'd be in today... and the thought of staying home and drowning in his thoughts wasn't very appealing.

Man, did he need a drink.

Aware of a sudden silence closing in on him, he looked up and realised he'd let too much time pass between whatever it was Alyssa had said last and quickly cleared his throat, eager to get this show over with. "Uh, sorry about that folks.... technical difficulties! Anyway, that’s all from us New York. It was fun hanging with you..." This was where Brian trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging and going very quiet as he stared at his hands. He just didn't want to be here anymore, but he didn't want to take time off. Wouldn't that just be admitting that there was something wrong with him? That he was still depressed and nothing had changed at all? He wouldn't do that. If they fired him, then fine, but until then this was how it was going to be. He stood up suddenly, striding out of the room without any explanation, just like he'd done a few times before. He didn't even bother to look at Alyssa, who he assumed would wrap it up. He just needed to get the fuck out of there before he exploded.

Today Isaac decided to listen to Piper and train a bit.  You're suppose to control your powers not the other the way around and so far that's how its been.  He's been so afraid of his powers since day one.  Honestly it was just his underworld powers that scared him the most.  It caused the most problems for him, not to mention of course that he hurt so many people in the process of using them.  However that was going to change today.

Alyssa stood outside waiting for him as he went in his cabin to grab some gear.  He had his spear and his substance amulet.  The spear was made by Leo it was made of the toughest metal found of earth.  It was also enchanted,  Isaac made it compatible with all his necro powers.  It was basically like a magic spear so to speak.  As for the amulet It turned into any substance Isaac thought of which was very useful to him.

Tori grabbed her bag as she left the house, yelling out to her dad to let him know she was going. He probably didn't hear her, considering he was working on some big story, but he'd left some money for her on the fireplace so she grabbed that too and stuffed it into her bag as she let the door slam shut behind her. When she noticed her dad's car was gone she bit her lip, turned and locked the door. Since when did he go to the office without telling her? Whatever, she had bigger things to think about.

She'd made plans to meet Alyssa in town, something she was looking forward to. It seemed like they hadn't hung out in ages and if she were being honest, she'd been a little bit lonely. Not alotor anything, she wasn't that sad, but she'd definitely been craving interaction with someone other than her father orPeyton.And it seemed that Thomas was speaking to her again too, and everything was going back to normal! Even those dark clouds in the sky didn't do much to dampen her spirits as she bounced along the street, tapping away on her iPhone. She updated her facebook status, adding four exclamation marks at the end to convey her excitement, and then stuffed it back into her bag.
