((Welcome back, City, and hello Abandoned. ))

[Midnight Tails]

Yu slept peacefully. But her body wasnt doing so great. She started to cough. She held on slightly tighter onto Kahen's fur, feeling her chest tighten. If her eyes were open, you would see them start to turn a brilliant crimson color. This only seems to happen when she feels a great deal of negative emotion.

Kahen felt the way the girl's lungs breathed, she hissed slightly, ears back, displaying in a sort of cat like way, that she disliked it, Kahen tried to shake the feeling, but a feeling of dread started to form a knot in her stomach, the girl wasn't well, and since she knew the disease was extremely contagious at some point, Yu probably got it from Mark when he was contagious; the little girl had the same disease, she was going to die, and since she was a child, the disease would affect her quicker than an adult that got it at the exact same time Yu got it, since her body was smaller than an adults, that was the problem with children, usually their smaller bodies meant that they got sicker quicker.
Fur bristling, not liking how the girl was sleeping at all, she realised that Mark would be very upset if he found out she was sick, as that would mean he was the cause of it, but the girl had to be looked over, to make sure she was ok for now, Kahen tried to figure out how she could do that, without alerting Mark and causing the guy more distress and making his mental state more unstable.

((*Pokes Destiny* Theives don't have dreams. ))
((I've never actually seen one, but looking them up on the internet, they look amazing.))

Claudia scoffed, "All that non-organic stuff makes me sick. It must be nice to have good, homegrown, food."
"Wow. So much I didn't know. Well, I guess I'll figure it out, now that I know it's possible. But that's sad. I really thought that those would go well with Huhnon. Don't worry about teaching me now. Maybe later. And there are places that sell plants? How many acorns do they cost?" She spoke, curiosity in her voice.
"Yeah. You'd think that police would be less involved with the law and more with the environment," Claudia joked, "But... I knew him well. He was kinda like an outside informant for me. He thought I was with some sort of secret agency. But then he got suspicious. And.... He had to forget years of his life. Post-traumatic amnesia, they called it."
She paused and added, "I think he was my first non-native, non-thief, friend. But even they'll throw you out eventualy. Or that's how it worked at home. All about status... I was almost what you would call a queen once. Then my friends set me to float and gave me to a group of seamen who wanted to examine me, since I killed a few of their men. Still, mistrust was never something I was good at. I always thought I'd be able to fix anything with my strength."
Claudia looked up from her fire and smiled, "Looks good."
She watched as the fire flared, and Mirro dropped one of the Huhnon into the fire. She laughed, "I thought you said you'd never delt with this fruit before? How'd you know to cook it like this? Although, you normaly put it on a stake first..."
Claudia snatched the fruit out of the fire. She grabbed a nearby stake and stabbed it into the Huhnon, which appeared to be expanding and bursting the apple-like skin. She put it over the fire, like a marshmelow.

(Seen one of what?)

"Yeah, especially when you're used to the organic stuff, it does sort of make you sick for a bit, just shows how bad the common stuff at the shops is. Tastes lots better, and is a lot better for you, to have organic, home grown food."
Miiro was suprised at how naive Claudia was to tendering and caring for different plants, to not know a basic thing like cuttings....She had thought that since he girl lived in the forests, well out in the wild most of the time, that she'd have a vast knowledge on plants, but apparently not so.
"Things don't grow overnight, even if you managed to successfully cultivate a sage cutting or a basil cutting, it'd still be at least a couple of months before either plant was anywhere near ready to be used."
Her hand moved, but she stopped the action, she had been about to facepalm because that was just....
There wasn't a word to describe what Claudia said....Her large amount of ignorance to things was a kind way to put it.
Nezumiiro managed to successfully, but only just, keep the tone out her voice that people automatically use when addressing young children or perhaps baby animals.
Though keeping that sort of tone out of her voice was difficult.
"They don't cost any acorns, they cost money. Why don't I take you shopping after we'd packed your stuff up, and put it away in Dream base."
"Though not ordinary shopping, we'd be only going to gardening centres, shops that sell plants." just to clarify that she certainly wasn't going to go through a nightmare of shopping for clothes or the like, not that she dislikes shopping, but Miiro did find it a tad tedious, but shopping for plants is always exciting, it doesn't feel like shopping at all, more like wandering between worlds by taking a couple of steps, and being able to reach many places in the world all at once, without much effort at all, she really enjoyed the fun plants brought to shopping, Miiro did.
Hearing Claudia's explanation she could tell she cared for him, a lot, but she wasn't sure if it was just friendship caring like he was family at one point or in another way sort of caring, she decided it was most likely the former because Claudia didn't seem hung up about it enough.
"Status is nothing, friendship gained by status is nothing too most of the time. True friends will walk in when the rest of the world walks out." The secound sentence she knew she'd quoted it from a quote she'd read from somewhere, but she couldn't remember where she'd read it from, nor who said it first, but it didn't really matter, it was a good thing to say she'd found, she can worry about finding the actual quote later, as Miiro disliked taking credit for things others had done, she'd have to find the quote now so that she can say who said it first.
"And that's horrible, the people you'd been with all your life, your friends and family, tossing you away like a piece of garbage, what is wrong with them?!" she didn't really realise that she'd raised her voice a bit, how Claudia had been treated made Nezumiiro angry.
Though she had to admit that Claudia's thoughts of strength being able to fix anything was dead wrong.
"I-I haven't, it was an accident....I was suprised when the fire flared, and I jumped, and one of them fell away, and just happened to roll into the fire...I'm sorry." even though she now knew that it was meant to be cooked like that, and that gave her relief, she still felt bad about dropping it in the first place.
Though she had a mental little giggle in her head at how it looks similar to toasting a marshmellow.

(Aww so adorble!)
(Wow clairnas not happy o.o)

"Honesty if i could-" she coughed."i would..ill just let you guys hve some alone time..just..dont die guys.." She muttered before passig out.(lol xD sice i have nothig else to do really..)

(What's adorable? The bird?)
(She just finds Fay really annoying.:3)

Rolling her eyes at Fay she ignored the girl, finding her too pathetic to look at even, Clairna didn't like her, she wished she'd die already from the disease, but that wasn't going to happen, since Damien would probably have to die first before Fay did, and Clairna couldn't allow that.

((nada problem))
Mark
He rolled his eyes, "Whether it's contagious or not depends on the level of disease. She could have been at a different level than me, I had no way of knowing that."
He stuck his younger out at her, "I didn't start it, she was postponing finding the cure."
Mark shrugged, "Can you stop it with the voice of reason brohah?"
The boy nodded, "That's the one."
"This time she's dealing with one of the largest groups of thrives on the world, she'll find we're a bit tougher."
((lol))
((:3))
((XDD))
He shook his head, "Only a couple of them, and they can be fought back easily." ,the albino nodded, agreeing with her.
Damien watched her heal his arm, moving his fingers afterwards to test it. He frowned at Clairna's statement, "Yes, you do, and you are." ,the albino looked her in the eye, "Don't beat yourself up over it alright?"
((true true))
He smiled lightly, "I don't think so, Savanah and I were doing a pretty good job of keeping you busy."
((It doesn't and he'll react the same way as if he wasn't))
((Yep!))

Fur still bristling, and ears still laid flat back, the tiger was holding back on growling, Yu's breathing was upsetting Kahen, "That's true." she found it very amusing when he stuck his tongue out at her, like a little kid's reaction, maybe that's why he was well suited to looking after Yu because he was childish.
Rolling her eyes she said, "Well you should've realised that if Damien is sick, and she can't heal him herself, she would do whatever it takes to get the cure, even a baby would notice that she would at least try and find the cure, only a true fool would think that her surface play-ups were what she was really thinking. If you were smart, you'd have started to walk away, and she would've followed still playing up on the surface, but following all the same, you can't use words to get her to come wherever you want her to go, you just go, and if she has interests in whatever it is, she'll usually follow." Kahen was starting to find that he was missing out on the obvious, though she had to grudgingly admit that probably only a couple of dreams realised Clairna was like that so Mark wasn't too badly off.
"I don't know."
(I don't know what to reply with for that sentence...XD What does 'brohah' mean for one thing?)
She couldn't help it, she growled upon hearing that it was that disease, which probably upset Yu more than anything else, Kahen growling that is, Kahen had to calm down, but it was hard when a dying girl(though she'd take at least a week or two before she actually died) is on your back, and you can feel every part of her diseased body, she was suprised she hadn't noticed before, but her surroundings were sort of distracting, and she relied on her nose more than anything, but her nose was useless in this sort of situation, too many richly strong smells hanging about, so she couldn't smell any of the signs that meant someone was sick.
"You have a point there." she said quietly, trying to calm herself down by staring out the window nearby.


Looking down at the ground she didn't feel like she deserved anything, when Damien looked into her eyes, she gave him a nervous smile, and said, "Ok," but her eyes clearly spelled that she didn't agree with that 'ok'.
Relieved though when she heard she hadn't hurt the only lead on getting the cure, but she glanced over to Savannah and saw the damage on the girl once more, she had sort of forgotten that Savannah was badly hurt, "I'm sorry to you too..." she said mournfully, drastically upset that she'd hurt not only Damien, but those precious to him.
"I can heal those wounds." she said, wanting, yet dreading to ask how Savannah had gotten wounds like that.
Though she was torn between whether she should go get that idiot Desmond was that his name? to wake up and show her how to make the cure or whether she should make sure everyone was ok, and heal Savannah up too, she wanted to go find the cure to the disease, but she didn't want Savannah to become ill from blood loss and she wanted to see what other damage she had done, though that wasn't really a smart idea because that made her weaker a little bit, and her other side a little stronger, so perhaps going to get the cure first was better for everyone....Clairna was sort of lost as to what to do....

((Sorry for forgetting about CS, guys D:))
((Thankfully, I don't think I need a recap xD))
((Any activity checks I need to address?))

(S'ok)
(lol....I don't know where you're up to anyway)
((Claudia tried to talk to Vinn, but since he didn't respond she left him alone, now Miiro and Claudia have abandoned the area and are in Claudia's forest home, packing her things to move back into dream base, other than that, nothing that concerns more your character has happened,))
(Wildfire recently did an activity check if that's what you're asking)

[ -pops in- Heeeeeeyy, guys ... It's city ... I'm back! I read Tals's recap a few pages back, so ... Yes. :} ]
[ Oh, and I know somebody who wants to join this, actually ... ]

(Yay! You're back!*gives you big hug* Ok, things might get a little interesting now that Taylor and Lilly can come back in! )
(Oh really? Knowing you, they should be a good rper. )

[[ that'd be me, since she convinced me o3o I'll try to get a form up soon-ish :3 ]]

(Yay, more people! Hehe, city is good at convincing people I think)
((I wonder.....Oh it's nothing. ))

[Killua Godspeed <3]

Yu started coughing once more, but more heavily than before. Her heart started pounding faster, as her breathing increased.

[wildfire6]

They can come right on over :3))
Rping in a sec))

[wildfire6]

Mark
He nodded, "Exactly."
The boy rolled his eyes, "Well I'm sorry I didn't realize how obsessive she was, I was a bit busy trying to figure out the fastest way to avoid ridiculously bad symptoms and inevitable death."
((brohah- crap, stuff and sometimes witch))
He smiled, "I always have a point."

Damien
He kissed her cheek, "I'm going to pretend I believed that."

Savannah
She gave a small smile, "S'all right, especially now that I have a clue what's going on." ,her smile broadened at the prospect of being healed, "That would be much obliged."

[Winry Rockbell]

Fay was still out cold against the wall outside the room...

(XD i have no idea what to do with her xD she isnt herself, she ssick, ad sge coul possibley start bringing up memories at any random time xD)
(City! Chu back!)
( whats was i gonna say..darn it!)

[city;]

[Size=85][list][list] [OMG. PIE. you are gonna join. :} ]

[Awww. Thanks, Maud!]

[Lol. -Huggles- Teehee! -devil face- It shall be.]
[Yup. My pie is fabulous.]

[Okey-doke! I'll send them over soon.]

[Hai Fairy! Hang on. I'll have Taylor talk with Fay.. Lets see how this goes.]
[Lilly's post is first though.]


Taylor and Lilly -- both dream girls -- had been walking around the city, ironically contemplating life. Lilly's knee still had an echo of pain from Wrath pushing her into the wall, and the last time she had checked, her stomach had a few cuts and plenty of bruises. She hasn't let Taylor heal them. Her frustration was sincere. How could he? Lilly was the origional Dream girl [with Alex of course, but Shadow respected her more than Lilly], not Fay. It took a long time for the girl to calm down. When she figured that she could face the frustration, Lilly was nearing nightmare territory. By herself. Not a good idea, but she didnt mind. The girl had lost track of time, vanishing from the Dream camp. It was right after she had mentally injured Fay that Lilly had ran away, realizing what she had done. Mentally, Lilly wasn't sure where she was. She briefly saw a few things that reminded her of the opposing/evil side, but it went in one eye and out the other. Lilly stopped when she tripped over a small crack in the sidewalk, swearing loudly when her bad knee hit the cement. "Where's Taylor when I need her?" She hissed to herself, swiveling around to see if maybe the healer had followed her. No such luck. Lilly looked around herself, finally taking in her surroundings. She was a long way from home; at least, she thought. The girl was right outside of nightmare, and had sworn extremely loud. Not good.

Lilly waited a full minute, laying down on the ground, her knee burning viciously. She was nervous, her face was white, and she was too scared to move. Revenge was obviously imminent. Nervously, Lilly started scooting back, eventually resting against a solid brick wall, and away from the nightmare's sight. Lilly was breathing heavily. "Oh, dear god," she whispered. "I sure hope they're not here." Lilly pushed herself into a crouch like a runner would be, repairing to spring into action. She swiveled on the balls of her feet, to begin to walk low against the wall, like a cat would, trying to slink away. She hugged that wall until there wasn't wall to hug; and then, she raced off towards home.



[yes. I made her freak out for nuthin. :} ]




Taylor, like Lilly, had taken a walk to cool down. At least Taylor didn't hurt anybody. And Tay was smart enough not to go off towards dream camp. She shook her head at Lilly's antics. The girl needed anger management classes. Taylor also didn't go too far. She had just looped a block repeatedly until she wanted home. So, that's where she was headed.
Taylor walked back inside the dream camp, only to find it empty. "What?" She said to herself. "This is weird. Okay. I just need to figure out who is and isn't here." It was them that she made a mental list of people and places. Taylor began to check rooms. The nearest was Alex's office, so she poked her head in, and found it empty. Then she walked over to their leader's room. Knocked lightly. "Alex?" She called. No reply. Taylor poked her head in, somewhat nervous that her leader had another vision and was on recoil, and the rest of them were dead or something, but was thankful to find the room empty. She grumbled to herself, closing the door, and going to the next room; Shadow's. Taylor knocked lightly once more. "Shadow? Hello?" No answer. She pressed her ear to the door -- assuming he was sleeping or something -- only to find nothing. Taylor cracked open the door only to quickly close it. Something reeked. Badly. The first thought was What if he's dead and that's a body smell!? then it was No ... That doesn't make sense. Shadow is always on his guard ... Taylor opened the door again, and held her breath. "Shadow?" She called, her voice sounding odd and a little nasally. Taylor looked around the room, seeing nothing. But why did it stink so bad? She peeked at the bathroom, cracking open that door. Well. That's where the smell was coming from. She could smell the vomit. Very nasty vomit at that. What a flu. Taylor gagged, before rushing out of the room, and slamming his door shut. "Where ..." She trailed off. Where was everybody?

She darted through the rest of the rooms [save hers], checking if anybody was there. Nothing. The dream camp was empty. And Taylor was scared. She knew the power of the Nightmarish side. "ANYBODY HERE?" She yelled, cupping her hands around her mouth. Taylor strained to hear anything, but was met by a humming noise in her own ears. She clenched and in clenched her fists, trying to figure out what happened. Where would they be? She knew that wherever Shadow was, Alex and Fay would be in tow. And then there was that one kid that had irritated her. But she didn't know him all that well. There were a few others that escaped Taylor's mind, but her main objective was to find familiar company. The next thing she figured was that Shadow was having issues. It was either that, or somebody had puked up a storm for him. Taylor assumed it was Shadow, because he enjoyed his privacy, and didn't normally let people in to see his room ... So something must have happened to him. And then there was the fact that he was sick. Where would thy go? Most likely the hospital for the thieves ... Taylor figured she might as well check there.

It was when she was leaving that she ran into Lilly. Literally. "Ow! Oh, Hey," Taylor said. "What's up?"
"Hi," Lilly said briefly. "Nothing."
"Oh. I see. Well, I'll be on my way."
"To where?"
"The hospital."
"What? Are you sick? What did you break? I thought you could heal yourself."
"No, I'm fine. But somebody isn't, and nobody's in there."

Lilly furrowed her eyebrows, unsure of what to say. Taylor wouldn't lie to her, right?
"Mind if I tag along?"
"Sure. Why not?"
"Thanks," Lilly said. The two dream girls walked in silence together, looking for the hospital. Lilly was a useful resource to Taylor, because of her seniority and knowledge about places, so it didn't take too long before they got into the hospital. Taylor approached a nurse at the front desk who was lazily picking at her nails. The brunette cleared her throat.
"May I help y'all?" She asked in a lazy drawl.
"Yes," Taylor said politely. "We're looking for one of three people; Alex, Shadow or Fay ... Do yo-"
"Nope." She snipped quickly, her back erect and alert.
Taylor looked at Lilly helplessly.
"Look," Lilly said darkly. "I know the procedure. Need to see the bottles?"
"What bottles?" The woman asked, fidgeting slightly.
"HOLY S--T! JUST LET US IN, OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'L-" Taylor clamped a hand on Lilly's shoulder.
"Enough," she whispered.
Lilly shrugged off her hand, her face growing hot. "Okay, fine. I'm the fighter, and she's the healer. Don't you think we should be able to see our clan members?"
The lady nodded shakily, pointing down the hall. Lilly took off at a brisk walk, leaving Taylor struggling to catch up. "Fay?" Taylor heard Lilly call. "Hey."
"Oh, hey, Fay." Taylor said brightly. "What's up? You look cold ..."



[I need help guys ... I kind of want to mess with Lilly's mind ... What should I torture her with? >:} ]

[Midnight Tails]

Mark
He nodded, "Exactly."
The boy rolled his eyes, "Well I'm sorry I didn't realize how obsessive she was, I was a bit busy trying to figure out the fastest way to avoid ridiculously bad symptoms and inevitable death."
((brohah- crap, stuff and sometimes witch))
He smiled, "I always have a point."

Damien
He kissed her cheek, "I'm going to pretend I believed that."

Savannah
She gave a small smile, "S'all right, especially now that I have a clue what's going on." ,her smile broadened at the prospect of being healed, "That would be much obliged."

Barely being able to concentrate on Mark was saying, Kahen took slowly, a few deep breaths, which somewhat calmed her down, at least cleared her head a little.
Being in animal form made her much more sensitive to the things around her, and especially because Yu was on Kahen's back, Kahen could feel almost everything that was happening to her little body, her breathing was the most stressful part, she needed medical attention, and needed it now, but where did the nurses and doctors run off to? Yu hang on, I'll get you help soon, I just pray your condition doesn't worsen beforehand. Kahen thought desperately to herself, sure the nightmare thief might be a bit overreacting, but with children, their condition can worsen drastically fast, and they usually did just that, worsen so quickly that you can hardly believe it.
"Are you blind Mark? Everyone knows how Clairna is with Damien, if you haven't realised that before you really must be an idiot."

(Ah ok, I thought perhaps your phone or something did an odd jumble of letters or an odd spell check, that you didn't notice before you posted it. I was suprised to find out you actually did purposely write that)

"Apparently," saying this in a slightly sarcastic tone, she didn't really mean to use sarcasm, it just came out that way. Though she wasn't fond of him acting the way he was. Well Kahen was just in a easy to irritate mood right now, who could blame her, anyone would be stressed if you knew a child sitting on your back was going to die in less than a couple of months from now.


Her face slightly fell, her feelings were too easy to read, at least by Damien they were, she blushed slightly at that, she kissed him in return, before standing up and going over to Savannah, "All right, I'll heal you then." it didn't take to long for her to heal the less deep wound, only a couple of secounds at most, she then started healing the shoulder wound, which was a lot deeper and more elaborately injured than the other wound, but it was no trouble all the same, a minute or two was all she needed.
Clairna heard growling, and she realised she'd forgotten about the secound creature, which she recognised as hers, actually she suprisingly hadn't really noticed it was there at all till it started growling, obviously something had come over quickly to the area, and it was unsure whether to attack or not, Clairna quickly called it back into her nightmare bottle, she didn't want any more casualties, there was enough as it is.


(Can I help you city with messing with Taylor and Lilly? )

Hearing the irritating voice of Taylor, which, like Alex's voice, instantly made her irritated and angry, Clairna looked to the hole in the wall (seeing as if you remember, the door is sealed off, (so fairy Fay should be by the hole not the door. )the only way in is the hole in the wall.:3), frowning with a bit of a glare at it, the dream thief healer had obviously only just come to the hospital, though she was amazed that they didn't seem bothered in the slightest by the multitudes of bodies littering the outside, the hospital hallway looked like a scene from a particularly gruesome horror movie, Clairna found it odd that Taylor didn't sound like she'd noticed.
She also heard Lilly's voice, at least that girl wasn't as annoying.
"I'm just going to go inform them of the situation because I doubt they know anything." Clairna told both Damien and Savannah, and in truth, that's exactly what she was going to do, but she might try and have a little fun with their heads while doing so.
Stepping out of the hole in the wall and into the hallway, she avoided a particularly large blood puddle, as well as three sliced up bodies of what she assumed were nurses or something, at least human, it was hard to tell with how cut up they were.
"What's up? She's sick, that's what's up. Don't worry, neither of you will get sick, if you haven't gotten sick already, you certainly won't get sick now." she told them both abruptly, moving closer to them, and realising that her shoes were covered in blood anyway, so no point in avoiding the blood on the floor, Clairna moved a bit quicker, as she now wasn't worrying about stepping in the blood, which covered almost every nook and cranny of the hallway floor for almost as far as you could see.
"She has the Densenbyou disease, it's back, it's horrid, you would've thought we'd get a secound wave."
Waiting for that to sink in, she couldn't help but smile slightly at the looks on the two girl's faces.
"And Shadow was one of the first to get it. He'll probably die first, he almost died a few hours ago actually, you shouldn't seen it, he went into asystole." Clairna knew that Taylor would know what that was (commonly called 'flat line', but the line doesn't actually in reality go entirely flat, in other words, his heart stopped completely), but Lilly wouldn't.
She wasn't speaking too loudly, so she doubted that the others could hear her.
Leaning in close to Lilly, deciding to mess with her because she seemed unusually unstable mentally right now, she whispered in Lilly's ear, so Taylor couldn't hear, "And it's all your fault that Shadow is dying." of course Clairna knew that wasn't the case, but she knew Lilly would be too distraught to realise this, at least for a few hours the girl wouldn't realise it wasn't her fault, but it was fun seeing the girl sort of break for a little bit.
Turning to look at Taylor she glared at the other healer, "You're real selfish you know that, while we're having a crisis, you're wandering about worried about boy troubles, what if Shadow had died? While you were worried about Fay and being all jealous and all, what if the doctors couldn't make his heart start again? What would you have done then? If you'd found out you weren't there?" Clairna could see that Taylor was upset, the girl probably knew that with this disease, having healing powers meant nothing.
Just the simple fact that Shadow very nearly died, well actually, he did die for a brief amount of time, would be upsetting them both, but them both knowing that they weren't there when it happened because of their own selfishness, that probably hurt more.
She decided she wouldn't say where Shadow was, if they wanted anything more, they'd have to talk to Fay or something, but Fay was out cold, and unlikely to if she woke up, be able to give any useful information to the two recently arrived on the scene girls.

(Is that good enough? Cause in her state, Lilly would probably believe Clairna's words.... I hope I've helped in your quest to mess with Lilly's mind. )

(Yep. )
(Ok, I'll look forward to seeing this pie person in action then. )
((Oh I just know I'm going to have fun calling them pie! Well I'll be laughing every time I call them 'pie' at least. ))
(((Actually, I'm about to go eat pie.)))
(No seriously, I'm about to have lunch, and I'm going to heat up a frozen pie, and then of course eat it)
((I am, I'm not just saying that, but I'm just going to be in a giggle mood from now on))
(Back to the rp: Ah poor Lilly....)

[city;]

[OMG YES]

[Bleh. I'll figure it out :} ]


Taylor jumped slightly before hissing to herself. "Oh, look what the cat dragged in," she seethed. Tay was still on bad terms with Clairna for her drama. "Yes, moron, I know." She snapped. "I am attempting to take her mind off of it." Taylor glared, with her arms crossed. Lilly was somewhat surprised; she hadn't ever seen Taylor as uptight and angry as then. Taylor watched Clairna with venomous eyes. She couldn't stand the nightmare's healer. And the feeling was obviously mutual. "Afraid of a little blood, are we?" She snickered.
But her news was catastrophic. "It's back?" Lilly whispered. She looked down the hall and past Clairna. "Holy ..." There wasn't much for them to say. Lilly was worried, but Taylor was nearly sick thinking about it. That smell. That horrible smell. Before Clairna said it, Taylor knew. Shadow had it.
"Oh my god." She said darkly. Then Clairna spoke.
"No s--t, Sherlock." She snapped. "This thing is deadly. Somebody's going to die. Somebody from the Thieves. At least one of us. Probably more." Just let it be her. Please.
Lilly stood, stunned, and that was before Taylor translated what 'asystole' meant. Her eyes flew open, drinking in every word Clairna breathed. Including the lie. At first, Lilly was too stunned at Taylor's translation to move, so she didn't realize what was doing. Taylor, having no idea what Clairna was going to do, didn't move. And again, took in her words. "It is, isn't it?" She breathed, slumping against the wall in her bedraggled state.
Taylor looked curiously at Lilly. "What's wrong?"
Lilly didn't answer.
"What the hell did you tell her?"
Clairna merely insulted Taylor, irritating her even more. She had had enough.
"DON'T YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT SELFISH!" She roared, stepping inches away from Clairna. "You think I haven't been worried?! What did you think I was doing, 'running about'?! Playing with unicorns? You even know why I went back to our camp? To APOLOGIZE! And try to find her!" Taylor yelled, gesturing to Lilly. "Maybe knock some sense into her!" Taylor took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching her fists, trying to keep a kid on her anger. It obviously wasn't working. "Where's Shadow?" She hissed. "I owe him an apology."


[Omg yes. I love you.]
[Lol. Pie.]
[Ope ... Taylor's lost it!]
[Oh, I know, right? I'm surprised she hadn't punched Clairna in the face yet.]
