Room #13, Main House [Saturday, Morning]

[ihatefrills]

The first thing Cassie did when she jerked awake, was glance across the room at Thelma's bed. Their argument was still ringing in her ears, and although she'd tried to wait up for her, at some point she had eventually drifted off.

Her heart sank a little, seeing it empty. Her hopes that last night had just been a bad dream, dashed

Bellatrix knocked on the door. Thelma had forgotten her rose the other night and Bellatrix wanted to make sure she got it.

Cassie jumped a little at the knock, still rather edgy.

Thelma would just walk right in, wouldn't she? Cassie took a breath and wandered over to open the door.

Bellatrix smiled, "Hi Cassie, is Thelma here?" She was holding the rose at her side.

[ihatefrills]

"Ah." Cassie rubbed at her neck uncomfortably. "No. I don't... I haven't seen her since last night."

[truest_black]

Bellatrix frowned, "She didn't come home?" Bellatrix figeted, she knew Thelma had been out with Cassie but...well hell she had left Bellatrix' bed to return to her dorm room to keep Cassie from worrying.

"She uh..." Cassie sighed. "We had a bit of a disagreement," she said quietly. "She ran off, and--" she trailed off and gave a little shrug.

[truest_black]

"Oh." Bellatrix said in disappointment, she felt bad for Thelma knowing how much she had been looking forward to spending time with Cassie.

[ihatefrills]

Cassie gave a small apologetic smile. "I guess you haven't seen her then?" she asked, worrying her bottom lip a little.

[truest_black]

"Not since yesterday afternoon." Bellatrix stood there for a moment. "She's probably just fallen asleep somewhere." She added.

"God, I hope you're right," Cassie said, still thinking about that glimse of Azazeal she was sure she'd seen. "I don't-- I thought she'd calm down and come back but..."

[truest_black]

"Are you alright?" Bellatrix said tapping the stem of the rose making it vanish. Cassie seemed very over concerned about Thelma not coming home.

[ihatefrills]

Cassie took another steadying breath and nodded, trying to forget about what she'd seen. "I'm fine," she confirmed. "It's-- it's nothing, really."

[truest_black]

Bellatrix nodded unconvinced that all was well but she let it go, "Alright. Will you tell Thelma that I came by when she gets home?"

[ihatefrills]

"Yeah." Cassie nodded. "And if you see her... tell her to come find me?"

[truest_black]

"I will. First thing." She agree before turning to leave.

[ihatefrills]

"Thanks," Cassie said quietly as she watched the other girl leave.
