Being cooped up in the Sanctuary didn't do Rose any favours. If she was able to go outside the building and escape, then she wouldn't feel this trapped. It also meant that she could feed on the animals in order to satisfy her hunger. Rose still felt sick; she was pale, clammy and her vision was clouded. The pain was beyond unbearable and she knew ( Read more... )

"Didn't you listen to the Angel Beast?" snapped Drusilla, her eyes flashing angrily. She didn't particular care about the relationship between the human prisoners and the vampiric prisoners, but he did. That was the only thing that really mattered.

(Besides, they couldn't run from a mob when they were trapped inside a city. There was nowhere to hide. If the ship sank, they'd have to sink with it.)

"He wants us to make friends."

He wanted them to make friends and she was walking out with her fangs flashing.

"I didn't listen to him," Rose growled back, taking a defensive stance. She could sense the other woman, but she wasn't like the vampires that Rose knew. Apart from that, she really wasn't in a state to be reasoned with now.

"It's not important to me right now. Who are you?"

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] a_pretty_fire June 14 2011, 19:01:08 UTC

"If you don't watch your manners," Drusilla said, her voice a low purr that sounded as sweet as honey to the ears of anyone who didn't pay attention, "You're going to lose that pretty little tongue."

The Angel Beast was worth listening to, even if you didn't like what he had to say.

"Drusilla," she added, light as air. "Are you lost?"

She felt lost. The air was buzzing with it.

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] rose_tainted June 14 2011, 20:45:56 UTC

"Don't threaten me," she replied, eyes narrowing. "Or you'll lose that pretty little head of yours." Rose didn't want to have to fight her if she could help it.

When Rose was clearheaded and back to normal, she considered Angel a good, trusted friend. She wasn't in the right mindset now for anything now, so aggravating her wasn't a good idea at all.

"Rose," she said, supplying her name. "And no, I'm not lost." She flinched in pain, letting out a gasp.

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] a_pretty_fire June 16 2011, 20:34:41 UTC

Drusilla laughed, delighted, at the threat. It had been such a long time since she'd had a good fight. She didn't like the Angel Beast's friends and toying with Rose was a pleasant diversion in an otherwise silent prison.

"But you're hurt," she noted. Not concerned, merely curious.

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] rose_tainted June 17 2011, 01:32:13 UTC

"I know I am," she replied through gritted teeth as Rose brushed past the other vampire, not wanting to deal with her at this moment. Drusilla was distracting Rose from what she wanted to do.

Another wave of pain hit Rose and she cried out, holding her head between her hands. "Please, I can't..just make it stop.." She thought that she was going to die like she did before.

Over the course of her long and wicked years as a vampire, Drusilla had seen a lot of pain. She'd caused a lot of pain. But this was new. It was different and sharp and something troubling - curiosity or pity or something else - moved her to touch Rose's shoulder.

Her hand was pale. Her grip could shattered bone but, for now, it was almost gentle. She was too old to act rashly.

"Did the tin soldiers catch you?" she asked, "They put wires in my head. Wires to make me hurt."

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] rose_tainted June 21 2011, 21:42:31 UTC

Rose flinched at the touch but didn't shake it off, still holding her head. She just needed a few moments to recover and collect herself. So that she could focus on what she wanted to do.

"Tin soldiers?" Rose repeated hoarsely, not looking up at Drusilla. "No, it wasn't them. This is something different."

How could she explain it to her properly?

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] a_pretty_fire June 22 2011, 22:27:42 UTC

"The hamsters."

If it had been someone else - someone from her world, slipping through the cracks - then Drusilla would have noticed. Only the hamsters were clever enough to get past the pixies that whispered in her ears.

She kept her hand were it was, treating Rose as if she was an injured bird or a doll with a torn dress that she didn't know how to mend.

"Did they break you?"

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] rose_tainted June 23 2011, 11:19:13 UTC

"Oh." She should have worked that out.

Which makes Rose think that maybe it was them who had done this to her. Maybe it was a glitch which meant that it was only temporary. That being said, it still didn't take away how unbearable it was.

The other vampire was surprisingly gentle right now-a stark contrast to how she reacted to Rose in the beginning. It led Rose to believe that perhaps something wasn't quite right with her.

"I think so," she replied quietly.

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] a_pretty_fire June 30 2011, 14:13:04 UTC

It had been a long time since Drusilla had been quite right. She was mad, subject to whims and fancies that other people - people who had brains wired in very different ways - couldn't hope to comprehend. Without a soul, she wasn't capable of feeling pity for the broken doll in front of her. But she was capable of spinning the webs that would draw her closer.

"They break everyone," she said, placidly. "They might fix you again."

Or they might not. Wouldn't that be interesting?

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] rose_tainted June 30 2011, 22:22:18 UTC

"I hope they fix me again," Rose replied, feeling pain once again as she tried to bite back a cry. "I don't want to be like this for much longer."

She felt like she was going to die again or just go into a vegetative state. Both of which would be impossible to come back from. When Rose arrived in Taxon she saw it as a second chance at life, but now she was rethinking it.

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] a_pretty_fire July 2 2011, 18:28:42 UTC

"You can let it out," said Drusilla softly, sweetly, with eyes as black as the blackest of nights. "It's only us. Only me. Cry for me, my sweet. You can cry for me."

Her voice was a low murmur, reassuring and warm, but there was ice underneath each syllable if you peered beneath the surface. She was ice.

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] rose_tainted July 2 2011, 21:29:52 UTC

"No," she replied. "No, I don't want to let it out. If I do, I'll only bring harm to others."

Rose took a breath and started to walk away, her previous goal of wanting to find Katherine still fresh in her mind. Talking to Drusilla for any longer would only be a distraction.

[Location: Sanctuary Hallways] a_pretty_fire July 2 2011, 22:33:00 UTC

Drusilla laughed - laughed and laughed and laughed, like water tumbling from a waterfall, the sound chasing Rose down the hall like a wraith - but she didn't follow. She didn't want to interrupt the bloodshed. She'd simply watch and savour the mess that the flower - withering and dying and already dead - made when she did let go.
