Forbidden? Right. I don't think so.

Light brown hair was pulled back into a bun on the back of her head, and her bright blue eyes held no emotion at all. The female's hands were stuffed into the pockets of her jeans, with the long sleeves of her black shirt rolled up to her elbows. It was cold out, and there was snow on the ground, but she didn't really care about it. Sure, she would probably get sick from not wearing a jacket or something, but she didn't care about that, either. There was a hospital wing at this school, wasn't there? She could go there if she got sick. She wanted to enjoy the freedom she had just gained; after all, she had just run away from probably the most horrible school imaginable.

Jaden looked up at the trees. Forbidden? Yeah right. So, some of the trees were dead, and twisted into strange shapes, and there was an eerie feeling... but she hadn't seen anything here that could be considered dangerous. Besides, if she did, she wasn't going to worry about it. She'd probably seen and had to deal with worse.

She kicked at the snow beneath her feet, and continued on her way. She hadn't exactly spent much time in the school yet, but that was because she wanted to get a better idea about the grounds first.

Jaden began to walk a bit quieter, thinking she heard another pair of footsteps. She could tell something else was near, though she didn't know who or what it was. She didn't want to take a chance, though, and was pretty much ready for anything. She glanced around the area, before she knew she was getting closer to whatever it was. She froze, no longer walking, and removed her hands from her pockets, folding her arms over her chest. There was a slight burning feeling in the tip of her fingers from the acid, but she ignored it, knowing that the acid would help her if it turned out something dangerous came along.

However, she raised an eyebrow somewhat. From where she was, the figure she saw looked somewhat familiar... but she didn't do anything or say anything, just incase it was a trick.

Jaden just stared at him for a while. It confused her.... how could both of them had come to the same exact place? It was just too coincidental for her to actually believe possible. She looked more closely at him incase she had mistaken him... but he was still the same person she had thought he was before.

"What are you doing here?" she asked quietly, her voice holding no sign of shock or confusion, or anything for that matter. It was emotionless, just like her eyes were.

"I have been dismissed."

She desperately wanted to raise an eyebrow, but didn't do so. Dismissed? What was that supposed to mean? Well, it obviously meant that the school had let him leave.... but she didn't understand why. From what she'd known, Jira hadn't exactly been weak... and even so, if he had been, wouldn't he have just been killed off instead of dismissed?

She watched him as he walked passed her, and hesitated for a moment, unsure if she should stay where she was or walk after him. She decided on going after him... at least it was someone familiar. "Why?" she asked, her tone the same as before.

"I failed to kill Sonlath."

"Oh," Jaden said simply. Well, that made sense. She hadn't exactly known who Sonlath was, but she'd heard the name before and a little bit about him. She didn't care why the school wanted him dead, since knowing the reason didn't matter. All that mattered was that Jira hadn't been able to succeed in his task. She decided it was best not to say anything more on the subject unless Jira did.

"And they'll probobly send someone else after both of us."

She forced herself not to roll her eyes. "I could care less if they sent someone after us," she mumbled. She was sure that by now the school knew she had escaped, she would be lying to herself to say they probably didn't. But even so, if they sent someone after her, she didn't think it would be a big deal; it would just mean she would have to fight.
