Sev, or rather his other personality, laughed softly. "Actually, yes, there is a reason I woke you." He replied. He reached out suddenly and grabbed her by the jaw, turning her head so she looked directly at him. "Is there something different?" He asked lightly, his voice carrying an edge to it. "I sure hope so, or you'll be no fun at all."

[ktyhrea]

Cinna gasps softly as her head is jerked up and her eyes meet Sev's, or what she thought were Sev's... "What the hell Sev?!" She says, pulling away sharply and shoving him back. "What's gotten into you?" She stands up on the opposite side of the bed from him and rubs her jaw before crossing her arms over her chest. She looks at him with narrow eyes and then pauses, "Your eyes... What's wrong with your eyes?" She says softly, worry seeping into her voice.

[aurumlupus]

A dark laugh emanated from his lips as he stood up across the bed from her, smirking. "Wrong, my dear?" He asked. "Why, nothing is wrong at all. And you're wrong on one other account too: I'm not Sev, not exactly. You seem I'm his other half; I'm Verth." His face darkened and the smirk slid away and he leveled a look at Cinna. "With you digging around last night and having him try to dredge up memories of his past, you did a wonderful job of having Sev come very close to remembering what he shouldn't. If that were to happen, he would literally lose his mind and go insane, mentally broken." He stated flatly, but then the smirk returned as he watched the female across from him. His eyes roamed over her body, taking in the sight, and not being subtle or careful about it. He had to hand it to Sev: he had found himself quite the nice looking female to entice.

[ktyhrea]

"Stop doing that..." Cinna mutters, suddenly self concious about her body with this boy's wandering gaze. She grabs her Slytherin robe from the bed post an pulls it over her body, covering her curvy frame. "You're lying. I know you are." She says calmly, letting her eyes rest on Verth's with a cold gaze. "There's nothing wrong with Sev. And you're just a figment of my imagination. I always knew I was crazy. I'm still dreaming and Sev will wake me any moment." Her voice cracks towards the end, reinforcing the fact that she was unsure of what exactly was going on. "This is just a crazy nightmare...

[aurumlupus]

Verth couldn't help but laugh as he heard the other female try and defend Sev. "Sorry, but I'm no figment of your imagination. I am just as real as Sev is." He replied lightly. "We are basically two people inside on body. You might be crazy, but this is no conjugation of your mind; this is very real." He crossed his arms. "Unfortunately, we aren't completely separate. As we share one body, emotions can often flow together for us, influencing our outlook and thoughts. For example, Sev's attraction to you had bled over into my feelings, and now I find myself attracted to you." He shrugged slightly. "Anyways, I'm in control for a little while, as he's too mentally unstable at the moment to really do anything. So if thought I would come out and," he smirked again. "Play."

[ktyhrea]

"I'm your dreams!" Cinna replies, laughing under her breath. "You'll never lay so much as a finger on me." But the words were forced. He looked like Sev, talked in his voice even, but this boy was not her Love. They're different people Cinna. she reminds herself as she glances around the room. Of course the easiest way to leave this boy behind would be to take the winding network of tunnels back out to the stairway, but he was kind of blocking the way. You can make it. She thinks, taking a deep breath and making her way around the bed, keeping an eye on Verth. "I'm leaving. Don't follow me, you'll get lost... I don't want to have to get someone to help find a crazy person in the tunnels." She says, getting ready to make a run for the tunnel entrance.

[aurumlupus]

Verth smirked, and rolled his eyes. "Relax, I'm not going to touch you." He replied, but moved to place himself directly in her oath so she couldn't leave. "But I also can't let you leave just yet. You seem I don't like people knowing I exist. I don't get to come out a whole lot, so it's easier if no one knows I exist. However, because of how attached to Sev you are, and he to you, it can't be avoided really." He said wryly. "You know I exist, and while that's a problem, I'm hoping you won't tell anyone. I'm actually here to help Sev, and I would think you want to help him too, yes? I really don't want him to have to forget about you, after all, but that can happen if needbe so I can protect him." He cursed Sev mentally; it wasn't easy to try chastising or even slightly threaten someone when you happened to be rather attracted to them, and Verth was because of Sev's feelings for the girl. Verth had kinda been hoping for more, as she had seemed so forward and flirtatious last night, yet seemed a lot more timid and shy now.

[ktyhrea]

Cinna narrows her eyes at Verth, "You wouldn't dare. He loves me. Why would you even joke about taking that away from him?" She steps forward until she was just a few inches from him and she glares into his eyes, both angry and a tad but annoyed. "You're just jealous. He has me and you have nothing." She leans forward, whispering the word into his ear and drawing it out before pulling her head back but not moving from her place.

[aurumlupus]

Verth shrugged, unconcerned. She finally seemed to be showing some back bone, and that was really interesting to him. "Honestly it doesn't matter of I'm jealous or not. In some way, because of me, his memories are locked away, and can continue to do so as needed. I'm not joking around here, Cinna: I can and will make him forget about you if that's what it takes to keep his mind from shattering. I share this body and mind as well, and don't want that to happen." He stated seriously. "I may have nothing, perhaps, but it doesn't matter. If he no longer can mentally function, neither him not I will ever have anything, and you'll be left just as alone as before. I'm actually trying to help here by leaving Sev with you, but if you insist, I can take that away instead." He didn't particularly want to, however. He normally only took over when Sev was close to remembering, and then, losing his mind, but he knew when Sev was alone he didn't try dressing up past memories he couldn't see, so Verth was always locked away in those situations. With Cinna, even if she didn't have Sev trying to remember anything, perhaps he, Verth, could come out more. The only problem was Cinna, and so far she seemed unwilling to work with him. It really was a shame, but he had dealt with such things before.

[ktyhrea]

"Don't." She says, not moving her gaze from the boy. Sev... Please be okay... She thinks, and reaches out, closing the space between them, and moves her hand to touch him, but before her fingertips brush his arm she pauses, looking down at her hand before dropping it back to her side and sighing. "I didn't realize that he couldn't remember his past... I just... Please don't change him, or take away his memory of me. I'm not sure what I would do without him..." As Cinna speaks she backs up, leaning on the bed and staring down at the floor. "I can't loose him. He's the one good thing that's happened to me." She meets Verth's eyes with her own and takes a deep breath, folding her hands in her lap. It was all so weird, having someone who should be Sev not actually be him..
