Motel Hell

[avasa_edan]

She took him away. Away to protect him. Far away. Away from the terrible place. The plants, the crawling flesh. The voices. The people. So many people.

Not many people here. He feels himself trying to crawl back, he gets there more now. Can't make it yet, no, not yet.

Quiet here. Room to breathe.

She’s wrong too. Knows more than she should

I'm walking around and I'm looking for something...I just can't remember what. What am I looking for?! Something's missing, wish I could tell what. I'm not even sure where I am...just that it's bright. Too bright. Hurting my eyes bright. I sigh and rub my eyes. I keep walking then bump right into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry...I have to watch where I'm going..." I say as I look up. Into two mismatched eyes. "Avasa!" I blink in surprise.

[avasa_edan]

It takes me a minute to register what's going on, I had been walking in the desert -my hand over my eyes to shield them from the sun- I was looking for something, but can't quite remember what.

"Cassie?" I frown, what was she doing out here?

[cassie_newton_]

I smile and laugh. "Yeah...what are you doing here? I was...looking for something..." I frown, looking around. "I can't remember what though. I think it was important though." I look back up at him. "Where are we?"

[avasa_edan]

"I'm... not sure," I frown, looking one way and then the other. "It looks like where I am, but it isn't. It's different," I run my hand over the back of my head.

"I was looking for something... maybe we're looking for the same thing?"

[cassie_newton_]

I laugh. "Maybe. Maybe I was looking for you." I say, and smile brightly up at him. Then I twirl around, arms out to my sides. "Oh I don't have a headache!! It's so nice...and you seem unafflicted too!" Things to be happy about.

[avasa_edan]

I grin at Cassie, she seems happy here. Less affected.

"I hadn't even noticed," I say, utterly confused as to why I'm dreaming about Cassie. Maybe because the plants effected her just as much as they did me. Does that mean we're connected now? Would that explain why she's here and why I can speak and think coherantly, when otherwise I wouldn't be able to string a sentence together?

I laugh again and continue to dance around. My skirts are pretty and colorful, splashing color into the brightness. "I did." I say. "It's good to see you better..." I stop and look at him again. "I think i was looking for you. I had something to tell you. I can't remember what though."

[avasa_edan]

"It mustn't have been very important then," I grin, watching her as she starts twirling again. Her clothes matching her personality perfectly. Bright and beautiful.

[cassie_newton_]

"I think it was!" I say, but shrug. "I'm sure I'll remember eventually. I usually do. ...you said that it looked like where you are. Where's that?" I ask, twirling once again and thinking I can faintly hear music. "I don't think I've ever seen a place like this before. It's not familiar."

[avasa_edan]

"Not far, between the desert and nowhere. It's peaceful here," I tilt my head to one side, hearing the faintest sounds coming from... I'm not rightly sure.

"Maybe it's something I created, that I needed for myself? Home isn't home anymore, is it? It's not a sanctuary anymore."

[cassie_newton_]

"But it's being fixed." I say, twirling around him and stopping when I'm in front of him again. "I did everything I could, then Janice helped me. So it'll be okay again sometime soon...she promised me she'd go right away to help." I give him a reasurring smile and take his hands to squeeze them. "So you can have it back."

[avasa_edan]

"You've done so much for me." I don't think I've felt this before. Friendship. Trust. It's different than Dawn... it was something I never expected to have. Not for a long time.

"How can I ever repay you?" I keep hold of her hands, not wanting to break the connection.

[cassie_newton_]

I laugh. "I didn't help you for repayment, silly." I say, smiling up at him happily. "I just did. So don't worry about it." I tell him. "I'm just happy things got figured out!"
