Practicing...

[Skye]

Mandy walked briskly towards the field, her high heels clicking on the cement pathway as she walked. A scowl was painted across her face and her expression was agitated. She stomped off of the path and onto the field, the heels of her shoes sinking into the damp ground. She cursed to herself, forgetting it had just rained. She bent over, removing the shoes from her feet and gathering them up in her arms. No one would be out here at this time of morning, especially since it had just rained...so she shouldn't have to worry about anyone seeing her.
Many made her way to the center of the field, making a disgusted face as the mud climbed all over her feet. Oh well...Better her feet than her precious shoes. She could always wash her feet later, but her shoes would be ruined forever. Okay...now it was time to practice...
Mandy only had one problem...she didn't have anyone that she could hypnotize. She let out a defeated sigh, pulling her blonde hair with her hands. The field was deserted and there was no one that she could ask. But, even if there were people out here...Who in their right mind would want to practice with her anyway...? Yes, she was looked up to by some...but by others she was hated.
Her shoulders slumped forward... She was never going to learn at this rate...

Liz, in sparrow form, flew past Mandy. She landed on her shoulder and whistled. Then she flew to the ground, and turned back into herself. "Hiya!" She said to the other girl. "I'm Liz, Liz Brandy," Then a black cat walked up behind her. "I do hate this dreadful mud. Can we please go inside Liz? It might start raining again," Gus was very uncomfortable in the mud. "Oh please Gus," Liz said. Then she turned back to Mandy.

Mandy looked down at her shoulder as the bird landed there, eyes widening slightly. She then spun around as it flew off and came face to face with another girl. She glanced briefly down at the cat who had appeared beside her and then back up at the girl. She raised an eyebrow slowly, looking over her from head to toe, something she tended to do when she first met someone...as if judging them. She was silent for a few moments and then she blinked slowly. Most of the girls in this school didn't like her much, therefore, they wouldn't practice with her. However, this girl didn't seem to know who she was. The corners of her mouth pricked up in a sort of smile.
"Pleasure to meet you," she said cheerily. "The name is Mandy." She put on her most sweetest smile. Of course, Mandy didn't really act like this. But, this was a special occasion...she had to make a good impression on this girl. She wasn't going to show her ugly, snobby side...or at least, not yet...

Liz sensed there was something the girl was hiding from her. "I wouldn't trust her if I were yo-" Gus stared, but Liz silenced him with a stare. "Then again, I could be wrong," She turned back to Mandy. "What'r ya doing out 'ere?" She asked curiously. "I was practicing flyin', and shape-shiftin'." She wanted to know what the girls powers were.

[Skye]

Many brushed a few strands of her golden hair out of her face, looking over at Liz. "Well..." she said slowly. "I came out here early today, to practice and all. But, I forgot one tinsy detail...I can't practice unless I have someone to practice with." She trailed off and then added, "See, my power is hypnosis, therefore, I can hypnotize people." She glanced briefly at the shoes she was holding in her hands and quickly yanked her hands behind her back, dropping the shoes to the ground. How strange that must look...
"Anyway..." Mandy continued. "Since I came out here so early today...I have no one to practice it on..." She trailed off again, letting her gaze wander over to Liz. Of course, the real reason she had no one to practice on was because of her spoiled rotten attitude towards the other students...but, Liz didn't know that... "So," she said, looking up with bright eyes. "Wanna practice with me...?"

Gus hissed and said, "Liz. I completely advise against this. She should ask for a teachers permission before practising on other students." He growled and looked at Liz. "I don't think you can trust her, I mea-" Liz gave him another angry look. [b]"I can make mai own decisions, ya know!" [/b][/color]of course to Mandy, it would just sound like she was making strange cat noises. Liz looked back to Mandy, "Sure, as long as ya let Gus keep wa'ch, in case anythin' goes out of 'and." She gave her friend one of her rare smiles.

[Skye]

Mandy watched as Liz looked down at the cat and began to make strange noises, sounding like a cat herself. She slowly raised an eyebrow, watching. Was she talking to her cat...? But, as Liz turned back to her, the look vanished, replaced by the same cheery look that had been on her face before. Mandy nodded slowly, glancing down at the cat. "Sure...that won't be a problem," she said. "He may stay."
Mandy did a litte twirl, blonde hair fluttering in the breeze. She came to face Liz again and smiled. "This means a lot to me, ya know." she said. "Thank you so much!" She clapped her hands together slightly, over exaggerting just a bit. Then, she seemed to calm down a bit and brushed a few strands of hair out of her face. "All right...tell me whem you are ready. And then we will began..."

Gus snorted and walked over to the bench. He saty down and watched as Liz and mandy begun. "Alrigh'" Liz said, accent flourishing. "Les' get started!" She sat down and waited for Mandy to say something. I've never been Hypnotized before, Liz thought.

{ from the shadowy cover of an overhanging willow, a dark figure observed, and nothing more. these girls were of partial interest to him - one had the ability to shape-shift; a power of curiousity to an intelligent mind. he ponderd how the biotics of it worked; how the physiology of bird and human bonded in a single, quite possibly fluid, proscess. and the other, somewhat vain compared to the one with flaming tresses, appeared to be a mind-worker. how one brain managed to rupture and subdue another he would never know for sure, though the demon had his theories. }

{ soul-piercing grey iris' followed the motion of the girls lips, and came upon the basic conclusion of there silent-to-his-ears conversation. the mind-worker was going to employ her skill upon the shape-shifter. how this practise session would end, he would surly find amusing - an event worthy of his time. one shoulder slumped on the knarled and knotted bark of the ancient willow, the boy watched with naught more than an expecting grin playing 'pon his pale features; invisable to the two in the fields. }

Mandy walked over to the bench, following Liz. She was silently celebrating, relieved that she finally had someone to practice with. However, it had been a while since she had practiced, seeing as everyone else tended to aviod her. And her 'friends' had been scared away from practing with her, due to events of previous sessions.
Mandy stood in front of Liz, leaning over slightly so that she was directly in front of her, eye to eye. She locked her sapphire blue ones with Liz's and then began chanting quietly, as if casting some sort of spell. Mandy had moved past the first level of hypnosis, where she would have to use a medallion or such. She was somewhere in the middle levels, pretty average, actually. Although, she hadn't yet mastered the highest levels... that was what she was working for.
Her quiet chanting died down, seeing that Liz was now in the relaxed state she needed her in for the hypnosis to work. "Secrets," she said, more loudly this time. Mandy had just stated the 'word.' From now on, whenever someone said 'secrets' Liz would become hypnotized, until Mandy removed the spell that is. "Now... whenever the word 'pink' is spoken... you will come out of your trance."
The blonde-haired girl stepped back, looking at Liz. She waved a hand in front of her face, seeing if her powers had succeeded in hypnotizing the girl.
