Will sat by the waters edge and smiled to herself.
"Peace at last," she spread out as the rain fell on top of her. Cold and wet and soothed.
"Ahh," she giggled to herself, "No place like home,"
She sat up and walked over to the boulder, struggled to the top of it, slid her shoes of and dived into the lake.
She swam deeper and deeper and deeper into the lake until she reached the bottom. It was freezing.
Time for soem heat! and her body started to radiate heat. The whole lake around her was now hot. It might've been so hot that steam was rising from it.
This is the life!
She started to float to the surface, as soon as she broke through she ralised just how far she had swam out. The school was a good bit away and so where her shoes.
"Dam it!" she slapped the surface. The the leaves rustled and a new cold air came in, the sound of the pebbles back at the shore were slapping together. A figure walked across, head down and her hair swept back against the breeze she was letting out. It also looked like she was muttering something.
"Hey Madeleine!" Will shouted over to her.

The rain was pounding down, heavy and grey, that horrible, light, clinging rain that found a way to stick to you, to soak your hair and clothes and make them stick to your body.
Madeleine had been out running - her stir craziness was settling now, but it still wasn't completely gone - and had gotten soaked in the rain, without an umbrella.
She could have psychokinesed it over from the castle, but it was quicker just to create a breeze around her to keep the raindrops away from her as she headed back towards the castle.
"Hey Madeleine!"
Madeleine turned as she heard this shout coming over from the centre of the lake.
Will was there, swimming.
"What are you doing out there?" Madeleine called back, surrprised. "You'll catch cold!"

Madeleine's voice just reached her ears. She swam back over to the lake side and crawled out. She was soon dry and warm.
"Hey, what doesn't kill yeh, only makes you stronger, right?" Will quoted.
They stood in silence for a while.
"Aren't you cold with that air around you?" Will asked.

Madeleine shook her head. "It's not touching me, it's only keeping the rain warm. Is it making you cold?"
She glanced out at the lake and shivered. "Will, how could you be out swimming in winter? The lake should be like ice!"

Will smiled.
"Body heat is the best heat...along with the elemental power of fire," she smiled and held her head proudly.
She glanced out at the lake, steam was still rising.
"It should cool down in about, oh I don't know, two minutes or so," she looked over to the forest, "When do you reackon the next camping trip will be?"

Madeleine arched an eyebrow. "Random change of subject... probably next year, I think."
Hopefully the next trip would go more smoothly than the last...

"Yeah, it was a bit. Hopefully Kira will have more sense this time," now a question she was so desperate to ask was niggling her again.
No, I can't, you know they're not!
But I can try and help them..
No, no interfering, it's their mess let them clean it up.
"But-" Will looked up at Madeleine, "Ignore that. So anything new with yourself, warriors and what not?"

Madeleine narrowed her eyes at Will suspiciously. "No, nothing new. What were you about to say?"

"Nothing interesting, just arguing with myself is all," well it was sventy-five percent true.
"I miss home,"

"Uh huh. Seriously, what was it?"
If Madeleine had a pet hate - that was it.

"I'm not going to tell you, it's my own thoughts, private thoughts. I didn't mean to blurt that out!" Will said heatedly.
Why where people so nosey?
She knew she wasn't any better than the rest of them but she could tell when people didn't want to talk.
"Anyway, how's life?"

Madeleine just rolled her eyes. "Right, whatever. It's fine. I'm currently being disgusted by Jack and Olivia - but I dare say you've seen that in action yourself."

"Erm, no, thank god. I can imagine them though, not that I would want too. They destroying your innocence?" Will smiled wickedly.
I'll have to talk to Jack sometime, give him a few hints on how too...

"They did that before they started going out," Madeleine mumbled. "And they take everything as an encouragement."

"Hmm, well maybe you should watch what you say when you say it and how you phrase it," Will raised an eyebrow.
Jack and Olivia, never would've guessed. Sex driven teenagers and Olivia's 'free' service didn't help Jack's oogling much, mind he was and excellent dancer.
"Jack goes to far, but it's funny, you gotta admit that at least!"
