Eve sat on a nearby bench and watched. While she had strong telekinetic abilities, her mother insisted that she be put on support rather than training to fight.

Anya jumped around using her explosions as jump boosts. And then she heard it, the yell of a burned one " what?"
Eve shot to her feet, hearing the sound too. Her eyes glowed.
Anya looked to Silva " sir?!"
Silva immediately looked at Dowling, who nodded. "Everyone get inside the school, now," Dowling ordered. As the students fled, she and Silva headed toward the noise.
Anya followed, grabbing her sword. " How's one getting inside?!"
Eve rushed up behind Anya and gripped her wrist. "Come on," she whispered. "Let's go."
" I'm sorry, I'm not going back inside. I won't let those things, hurt anyone else"
"My parents will take care of it. Burned Ones travel alone. A single Burned One is no match for them. Please, come with me," Eve pleaded. "I need you to be safe."
Anya sighed, pulling eve close, " alright. But you need to understand that this is my job after school."
"Thank you," Eve murmured, wrapping Anya in a tight hug before tugging her back towards the school. "Come on. Let's hurry."
Anya nodded, running back to the school.
Eve glanced over her shoulder as they went. Wherever her parents had gone, they were out of eyesight. She trembled as she ran, hoping they'd be alright.
" they are going to be fine," Anya reassured, holding eve close
"I know," Eve replied quietly. "It doesn't stop me from worrying."
Ayna ran her fingers through eves hair. " I know..,"
Eve let herself be comforted. Tentatively, she reached out with her powers to see if she could detect her parents, but it was hard to tell over the mass of anxious students swarming just inside the school gate.
" focus love. You'll find them.." she said softly she knew that shimmer all to well
Eve clung tighter to Anya. "I can't," she whispered worriedly. "I can't find them…"
" just focus on me, and then on them. You know what your mom feels like, look for it."
Eve closed her eyes and felt Anya. Everything about her was so familiar now, it was easy to recognize her. With her first goal complete, she extended her abilities wider than they'd ever gone before. She began to feel lightheaded, so she leaned against Anya for support, but finally, she felt her mother's familiar emotions. "I feel her," she whispered, a wave of relief washing over her.
" good, that's great eve " she encouraged as she held eve up
Then Eve's expression contorted. "I feel him too. But… they're both worried. Way too worried. And… exhausted?" Her eyes flew open, and she lurched against Anya. "We have to help them."
" I have to help, your exhausted. " She grabbed her sword and ran off toward the two. " I'm here!" She called out.
Eve shook her head and followed Anya distantly. Her heart and mind were both racing.

Silva stabbed a Burned One and twisted the blade through its chest before turning to face another one while Dowling was taking on three at once. The woman looked plain exhausted, but she kept her eyes narrowed and her intentions focused. She blew back a Burned One and turned sharply at the sound of Anya's voice. "What are you doing here?" she demanded, tossing another Burned One through the air like a rag doll. It landed with a sickening crash, but still got up as if it was unphased. "Get back to the school! Get Professor Harvey!"
