"Good job. Is there something else you'd like to try, or shall I let the time flow again?" Javid asked, giving her the dancing smile once more.

Venus bit her lip with her teeth, fighting a smile, "I'm fine, you can start time again. Thank you very much, it really has helped." [/color][/blockquote]

"Sure, anything you need." Javid said, restoring time.

The blond looked around as time was restored. "Thank you, it was a very helpful experience. You're very lucky that you have that power," She smiled up at him her blue grey eyes lighting up in the sun. [/color][/blockquote]

"I am indeed." Javid said. The students began to arrive then.

Venus nodded and turned away from the teacher, she sat down next to her book bag and picked up her novel again. But she couldn't concentrate her mind was buzzing with thoughts. [/color][/blockquote]

Javid made his rounds a few times, then sat beside Venus to watch the students practicing.

The teen had pulled out a hand mirror she carried with her to practice changing, not her hair and eyes, but her actual facial features. In the corner of her eye she saw Javid sit down next to her but she tried not to think about that. Looking at her reflection she concentrated on changing her lips and only her lips. She thought about wanting them to big fuller and suddenly they were. She smiled to herself and moved on to her nose, which was too big at the moment, it suddenly got smaller. She then worked on her cheekbones, those were more difficult and required a second try but soon she had managed to make her face as perfect as it could ever get. Venus didn't see that, all she saw was herself, trying to be pretty, and failing. Then her reflection in the mirror changed and she huge burns appeared all over her face. Her eyes became brown and horribly bloodshot and red rimed.
She gasped and covered her face with her hands, dropping the mirror. She didn't know it but only she saw that, in truth her appearance hadn't changed at all. She curled up against the tree and covered her face so no one would see her. She heard Kyle, the boy she had loved, tell her over and over again in her head, 'You're ugly Grace! Hideous! I can't even look at you!' And in her mind she heard his footsteps as he left, never to come back. As pulled her legs up next to her and hugged them she buried her face in her knees and felt tears fall from her eyes. She wanted everyone to go away, didn't want anyone to see her like this, "Kyle, please Kyle. Please don't leave." She whispered. [/color][/blockquote] OOC. Power to mental breakdowns in the middle of class! [/color][/blockquote]

Javid turned to look at the girl. He saw the tears and the beautiful face. "Venus. Stop crying. Please. The past has passed." His voice his something, but it was shrouded in the comforting look he gave his student.

Venus looked up at Javid and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, "The past may be over but the scars that have been caused in it are still here." She whispered looking down. "Just like they've been since that fire. They won't go away, I just, I want it to stop, I want the pain to end." [/color][/blockquote]

"If we didn't have scars do you think we'd be here?" Javid pulled up the sleeve on his left arm, exposing the remaining nasty scar "Do you think the rest of us haven't had bad pasts? We have. Everyone here, even if they don't admit it. They have scars, each and every one. But this school, it's a second chance for those who have scars as bad as yours. Seize the day, make your own fate better. Carpe Diem." The latin term was punctuation, and then fell silence.

Venus looked at the teacher with wide eyes, "I know this is a second chance and that I should be grateful I was given one, but sometimes I can't help but wish I wasn't." She sighed, "You can call me selfish, stupid, ignorant, spoiled, it's all true. I guess it's wrong to want to feel nothing. I know I don't deserve this chance, and that there's someone out there who does, but can't have it. If I could I would give it to them. Since I can't, I do work at making the best of it, I know I could work harder at it but I don't. I should, and I'm stupid for not doing so, but that's me, stupid." [/color][/blockquote]

"You. are. not. stupid!" Javid had snapped. It was obvious, time began to swirl, slow then fast and slow again, varrying for everyone differently. Javid's eyes matched the time in a swirling darkness like the sea in a storm "You need to stop undermining yourself! You've been given a gift, now use it to heal your scars!"

Venus' eyes widened even more as Javid snapped at her and time began to go crazy. Her hair deepened to brown and she nodded quickly, disoriented from the way the time was changing, "I'll do my best," She promised looking at him, and she meant it. "I will do all I can to forget the past, to start over." [/color][/blockquote]

Javid smiled as time settled "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I get like that sometimes."
