I didn't know you could stop being a god...

Mar 19, 2009 13:31

Delirium rarely dreamed but when she did the dreams were vivid and colourful. Cannibal balloon men tearing each other apart and feasting on long balloon intestines filled with cotton candy. A woman standing at the edge of a cliff before falling into a sea of red horses. A child dressed in a purple playsuit with a television aerial sticking out of ( Read more... )

Surreal brought flowers every few days, trying to help as she could. There was little enough for her to do, as she had no knowledge of pregnancy beyond how to avoid it. The sounds of distress let the bundle of dried blooms fall from her hand, and she moved swiftly to her side, sitting on the edge of the bed, combing her fingers through Del's hair, wanting to soothe her friend.

"Tell me?" she asked, softly, wondering if she had the skill to remove the chain with its burden.

If she calmed down, if they had something to help then she would easily be able to get her wrist out but she wasn't calm at all. She was panicked by the fact that it was here. It wasn't supposed to be here. It wasn't supposed to be anywhere but chained to her brother.

"iT's nOT suppose to be heRe, it'S not. hE can'T give it AWAy, hE caN'T take it oFF. IT'S not suPPOsed to be... gET it oFF me, i doN'T want it." Delirium said trying to get her and the babies as far away from it as she could.

With a moment's consideration, Surreal pulled two hairpins out of a pocket, taking the book and Del's wrist onto her lap as if it were something very precious, starting to work on the lock.

"I'll get it off, sweetheart, but you need to stay calm, or the babies will feel it," she said. "This belongs to one of your brothers, doesn't it?"

It might make sense, then, why it upset the lady so. Family was special, and hers...she might have been familiar with Death, or Desire, but a book meant nothing to Surreal.

Delirium evened her breaths like she'd practised in meditation. Calming herself. She could do it when she had to, she could be sane when she had to but she really, really just wanted to get away from it. It only would have been worse if she'd woken up in her wedding dress. Then she would have been terrified and hysterical.

"StAY cALm, StAY cALM." Delirium said touching her rounded stomach. It would be bad for the babies. She had to remain relaxed for them or they might come and that would be bad. Everything in the books said that being early was bad. "Destiny. iT's thE boOK of Destiny. iT COntAins thE univERSE. eVEryTHinG THat hAS HaPPeNED, is HAPPeninG AND wiLL HappEN."

Surreal closed her eyes for a moment, focusing on the feel of the lock in her hands, listening to Del speak. With a click, it finally released, and she looked at it, considering the importance of that.

"Then we'd better keep it safe," she said, after a long pause. "It's not the sort of thing mere mortals should read. The Darkness only knows what would happen, then."

"mADnESS," Delirium said looking at Surreal with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She had to be calm. She had to be like sissy even if she wanted to run or waddle really quickly away from it. "nOT KnowiNG EVerything is aLL THat makES it OKAY. iT SHOULdn't be hERe."

Delirium sighed as she was set free. Rubbing her wrist, she looked at book oddly before pushing it away from her. It was wrong. So wrong. "i hAVe to... i hAVE to hiDe it. hiDe it aWay whERe no oNE CAN finD it."

"I'll help, if you want," Surreal said, taking Del's hands in her own. "Perhaps there's a place only someone who knows the contents could find it. We'll keep it safe for him when he comes."

"kEep it safE, keep iT proTECTed and AWAy from PRying eyes. iT KNows thinGS, so COLd and dARK in thERe. it shOULDN't be hERe, iT SHOULDN't." Delirium said knowing how the universe, how the world changed with them in it for a while and she briefly wondered how the island had changed with her in it. Not much but the world was already mad but now with Destiny's book as well. She was scared. She didn't want to change. It hurt. "i caN't chanGE AGAin, i cAN't be him. i caN'T. i havE TO be a muMMY and a quEEN AND A Friend and Lots of thiNGS but i can'T be him. i can'T be Destiny."
