Night 50: West Wing, South Hall 1-B
[from here]
Was she really the only one out in the hallway right now? Minako certainly couldn't hear anyone else, and she didn't see any flashlights out there in the darkness. Brr. That was kind of... creepy. When it was dark the hallways seemed a lot more echo-y, and she couldn't help but think about the stories about monsters and things that ( Read more... )

In gym.
He sighed, letting himself fall to the ground so he could sit across from her. Edward would have pressed his fingers to his temples to further express his exasperation if she hadn't distracted him with the mention of something she found; when he looked, he almost jumped with the sight of a ring, except it was... not the ring he was expecting to see. The sense of defeat slumped his shoulders slightly, but he still touched her hand briefly to examine the piece of jewelry.
Could it -? The doctor's mad ramblings might not have been so mad after all.
"If we break the jewel, apparently we can." Edward found it hard to trust the word of the man who held the strings tying them to this whole fiasco, though. Why would he give them such free access to... not even technology; it was more like magic. It could do nothing, or it could kill one of them. There wasn't any way of knowing. "What was the last room you were in last night?"

Where was she last night last? "Umm," Bella began, chewing on her bottom lip for a moment before speaking. The thought of last night made her shoulder hurt, and she reached an arm around to gently press her (bandaged.) palm against the bandaged stab wound on her back. "Nowhere special. It looked like a kitchen or something ... well, almost like a small cafeteria. What about you?"
Nowhere interesting. Oh well.
Honestly, she wanted to use the ring. "I say we give the ring a try, either way," Bella admitted, shrugging her shoulders after her hand slipped away from her back, "What's the worst that could happen? Maybe we can even find me something to fight with that's ... not a shard of glass that does more damage to me than to others."

He rolled back onto his feet, grabbing the nearly-forgotten bag and standing back up, offering her a hand up as well. "And a lot of bad things could happen. I could name at least sixty seven off the top of my head. How about you let me break it and we'll see what happens?"
Edward was prepared for a quick and vehement "no". But he could still be hopeful.

It was possible, after all. Two places neither of them had been to had a chance of being close to each other. Perhaps you had to travel through the forest to get to the ruined town? There was really no way of knowing, sadly, unless she sneakily asked on the bulletin boards when morning came.
When Edward offered her a hand, Bella reached out and took it, pulling herself to her feet.
... Before he could even finish his sentence, the vampire received his answer. "No," she hissed, narrowing her eyes at him. "If you can name sixty seven ways, then I can name sixty eight."
Bella continued to glare at Edward as she moved back down the hallway towards her room, dragging him after her. "Let's just go to my room first. I need to get something."
( all we gotta do is just be friends, just be friends. )
