fourteen ♢ text & audio & spam

[She wakes up screaming at what is, relatively speaking, three in the morning. It's a nightmare, the first really bad one since she died. She tries to remember what it was, what exactly, but it's all a blur; she remembers screaming in the dream, too; she remembers a lure; she remembers blood, lots of blood; she remembers a song. Ein Männlein steht im Walde . . . She remembers not being able to breathe. She remembers her mouth was full.]

[The first few nights, she calls people. She asks for help. After that, she wanders the halls, unable to get back to sleep, unwilling to lie in the dark any longer. Her hair is tied back, a scarf tucked around her shoulders, but her scar still stands out against the pale clamminess of her neck.]


audio } ben

[Night one, she calls Ben. She is crying, her voice muffled (she is using the bear as a pillow, as something with which to dry her tears).]

I'm not hurt. [She has to clarify this first, so he doesn't fear for her, so he doesn't hurt for her. This is how she protects him.] But I need you. Please. If - it's not too late.

audio } blight

[It's instinct to contact him. Maybe it's bad instinct. But it's what she reaches for the second night, once she's calmed herself down enough that she's no longer hyperventilating. Once she feels mostly human again.]

[It's midnight. She sounds as chipper as if it was noon.]


What do you know about brain chemistry?

[His brow furrows as he looks back at her like the most uncomfortably confused puppy that ever puppied.]

I don't know. I mean, if it happened for a reason, then it's gotta be an awful reason. That just feels, like, I dunno...an excuse. An empty one. And I don't really want to give Peter an excuse.

Yeah. [It's okay: Scott has no idea what the terminology is, either.]

Peter Hale. He's the one who bit me.

An alpha is stronger with a pack. Like, actual strength in numbers. He wanted me to join his pack so he'd be stronger.
semifreakingnormal: (pls help me)

Yeah. I'm not arguing. [He shrugs, and the rest tumbles out.] He tried to make me kill with him. Like, that'd make it official, or something.
semifreakingnormal: (I know it's strange)

[He doesn't really understand the smile, and draws his brows together a little.]

No. I'm not a killer.

I'm not better.

[He pauses and stops in the hallway so he can turn to face her.]

He was messing with my mind. I thought I was sleep walking at first, I didn't even know what was happening. he was calling me out at night, and hurting people, and trying to make me lose control and hurt them, too. I thought I did, for a little while.

[He's at a loss, brow furrowed like thinking hurts. It kind of does, right now. He's tired and he doesn't want to be better.]

Would you have?

[He wants her to say no. He thinks she'll say yes.]
semifreakingnormal: (now you're moving on)

[He has no idea what to say. Literally. Everything just comes up short, and he struggles like speaking is the most arduous task int he world right now.]

It doesn't have to be death or death. You can fight, too.

What did...[He trails off, uncertain. That's not a happy smile. That's not an i did exactly what I wanted to smile. He tries again.]

Who did you kill?
semifreakingnormal: (who?)

[He watches her hands, and feels sick. He swallows it back, wets his lips.]

Why did you kill him?
semifreakingnormal: (now you're moving on)

[Spam]

[personal profile] semifreakingnormal 2014-05-29 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
What...[He's not sure he wants to know. He could walk away and just. Not ask ever. But he can't, really, so he stays and rubs the back of his head.]

What were you remembering?
semifreakingnormal: (is moving your bones)

[It's a frightening combination, and he shifts his weight. He's not scared of her, not exactly - but he's a little afraid of what she might be capable of.]

Did you....did you kill him too?
semifreakingnormal: (who are you?)

Jeez, Abigail.

[He takes a step back like he's staggering, like he just can't fathom the world she comes from. He can't.]

I don't - I don't know what to say.
