Jan. 10th, 2011 02:57 amAdrian sat with his legs crossed, hands resting on his knees as he sat on the floor. The fingers lifted one by one, then lowered all the same in an exact measurement only his mind was privy to. Neck straight, shoulders back, his eyes stared in the half-seeing way of a person about to go under. Matthew was across from him, a long distance away yet still in the room. Adrian watched him in his semi-conscious state and the vague sense of unease crept up and invaded the bubble of calm he was trying to project around himself.
He let his eyes close to block out the feeling, but it was leeching out despite his efforts. His brow furrowed as the depths of his mind seemed to rise up. His body felt hot and he tried to regulate his breaths. Deep, evenly timed, but they got shallower and shallower still. The blackness leapt up-
-and then there was a cold force on him. His eyes snapped open as his neck bent back and he sucked in a breath, the shock of realizing it was not just a physical touch but a mental one as well. Adrian didn't simply gasp in air, but continued to fall, eyes rolling into the back of his head as he collapsed backwards. Unconscious, no one saw his eyes bleed from green back to blue, but the others all saw the black at his roots suck back into his scalp.
The other members of The Ring looked at one another with trepidation while Matthew knelt beside their youngest member. He said nothing, so neither did they, but they all knew that something had begun.
