Professor Pettigrew's Office

[Kitania Walker]

Kit smiled awkwardly.
"You know I can't talk about that, Emilia." she said, though the idea of calling a meeting had occured to her.
"Listen...about Danika..." she sighed and wrung her hands together, finally resting them in her lap. "Whilst they were in my office they both argued about her. Krysta drew up the exact same point that you did. But Kelly brushed it aside. I get the feeling their relationship isn't as stable as it is commonly believed to be. Kelly seems determined to rid herself of any emotional connection. She sees them as weaknesses that can be used against her. I wouldn't be completely astounded if Kelly ended it. She'll convince herself it's for Danika's own good."
She explained gravely. Her normally bouncy persona had been well and truly banished.

[Emilia Pettigrew]

"Oh, yeah. Right" It made Emilia sad, that Kit and her had to keep secrets from each other. As soon as she heard about what Kelly had said, a look of horror came across her face. "Oh good. That's it, I'm giving up. Everything I try to do to help just goes wrong. I told Danika to broke up with Kelly, cause I was hoping that will break Kelly, but thinking about what she said, it seems as if she might break Danika. It's all just growing too big." Emilia felt tears on her cheeks. She brushed them away. "I tried so hard to keep her from it all and I managed for 16 years, but now it feels like I failed from the beginning."

Kit's face filled with pity and sadness. She got up from her chair and knelt down beside Emilia, taking he hands in hers.
"Emilia, this was nothing you did or didn't do. I don't think there was anything anyone could have done to stop Kelly becoming this way. She was always heafing this way. There was just too much loss and pain in her past. It's no use dwelling on the past now. It's the future we should be focusing on." she said softly, reassuringly, squeezing Emilia's hands gently. She smiled and brushed a red strand of hair away from the other woman's eyes.
"We have to decide what happens now. What's our next move? We have to decide what our priorities are, whether they mesh or not." she said quietly, aware that their priorities most certainly did not match.

[Emilia Pettigrew]

Emilia felt Kit take her hands. Her hands were so soft and warm. "I still feel myself responsible for that, no matter what you say. You know me" she tried to smile, but it faded before it reached her lips. "My number one priority is Dara ofcourse. I gave my promises and I have to stick with them. The next thing is to put an end to Kelly's actions, before she kills someone. We can't have her running around" she stopped for a moment, trying to find the right words, which she couldn't "she has to be stopped by any means necessary." She looked into Kit's eyes.

[Kitania Walker]

Kit nodded, she understood.
"Yeah, I know you. You know my allegiance lies with The Order. But my priorities are not different to yours. Kelly is out of control. The way she's going she is going to kill someone, and she won't care who she hurts on her way. I can't stand by and watch that child murder, no matter who her target is. We already know there's no talking to her. She's too damned stubborn to listen to anyone now. So what are our options? Dara already knows Kelly's gunning for her. She hasn't exactly tried to hide it. I'm struggling to think of a way of stoppin her without harming her. We can't strip her of her powers. We can't kill her, and I'll stop anyone who tries. But what does that leave us?" she asked, suddenly filled with drive and determination.

She released Emilia's hands and poured her another cup of Wolfsbane, placing it in her hand. She reached for a doughnut and began pulling it to pieces with a troubled look on her face. Sugar dropped to the floor and she watched the crystals bounce on the hard floor as though they may some how reveal the answer to their predicament.
