Victor merely leaned against the doorway, and rested his head there. He closed his eyes, vaguely aware of the faint giggling before him as he drifted off slightly, to some middle ground between sleep and consciousness. His head will filled with images, memories?, of a history that may or may not come to pass. While the death and destruction was disturbing, the domant image was the most disturbing. Victorious was standing right in front of him, holding Nico's severed head in his hand. She was the first. Stupid little puta... thought she'd stop me from being evil, but got me started instead. Sealed her own fate, and got exactly what she deserved... For Victor, the scariest part was that a good part of him was agreeing with that. ...and guess who was our second kill? With a sick grin, Victorious pulled a second severed head from behind his back, this one belonging to...

"Karolina? but... would never... she... no...NO!" That last shout was enough to bring Victor back to the present where he found himself looking at Karolina, with her head attached to her body, and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking away slightly he spotted Nico, with her head attached to her body, and he stared at her for a moment. Inside, he wondered why wasn't he relieved to see her alive? Did he hate her that much?. "miras semejante mierda*", he involuntarily said to her, his mouth ahead of his brain, before dragging his hand over his face. "Ugh... coffee... mountain dew... red bull... just give me something to keep me awake for a while..."

"Umf!" Karolina clawed the pillow away from her face, still grinning. She'd been knocked to her side by the blow, vision and even hearing obscured by fluffy whiteness. She stuck her tongue out at Nico and climbed out of the bed, flicking her braid back over her shoulder.

"Coffee's coming up," she nodded to Victor's plea for caffiene. "You both look like you could use a double espresso. Come on zombie," she tugged at Nico's skull shirt, drawing her off the mattress. "Brains this-a-way."

While the two of them did their best impressions of the shambling undead, Karolina headed to the kitchen to get the coffee on. The cold tile sent shocks up from the soles of her feet, completing the waking process. She didn't really need the caffiend jumpstart herself, but she liked the taste of it, taking her cup with more milk (okay, powdered creamer; perishables like milk weren't part of the supplies Molly's parents had stowed away) than coffee. She knew Nico drank hers black, but had no idea what Victor's preferences were.

((I'm not sure if you meant for Victor's shout to be an internal part of the flashback or something he said outloud, but I'm assuming internal, and that the girls didn't hear anything. If not, let me know and I'll alter the comment ^_^

Just curious here, but do you speak spanish, or are you looking these things up as you go?))

((I speak a little spanish, but just pull up stuff here and there from www.freetranslation.com .... and I should've made that clearer, it was part of the dream.))

Victor allowed Karolina to pass, and followed her to coffee, having no clue where anything was in this place. He still had no change of clothes, so he just slept in his boxers and tank, but threw on the pants and shoes he had on yesterday.

Victor glanced back at Nico as he walked, and she did look... well, not at all dissimilar to when Victorious was holding her severed head. She clearly didn't have a peaceful nights sleep. Serves her right, he thought bitterly... She should be bothered by what she did to me... of course, if that were the case, then maybe she did have a soul, and maybe didn't deserve to have her head cut off.

Maybe...

Victor looked away as he realized he was staring at Nico, and turned his attention back to the one he did like, Karolina, as she fiddled with the coffee machine.

Nico had lived here for quite a while, but in her current addled, sleep-deprived state, she couldn't remember where the coffee was either. She wasn't yet alert enough for such things as directions to make sense in her head.

Still, playing along with Karolina's zombie reference was an entertaining use of what little brainpower and coordination she had. "BrrRAAaiiiNNnnSss..." she moaned as she lumbered, tugged along by her shirt.

Then she realized that Victor was staring at her uncomfortably, so she snapped out of it. "Sorry," she apologized quietly. "Little attempt at humor there ... very little."
