Detention, Depths of the Castle, Wednesday

Jul 25, 2012 02:06

The good news for everyone in detention was that there wasn't any sign of singing going on on the island today, so everyone could be spared from any further embarrassing admissions that they'd rather not have made ( Read more... )

Sookie tried to make herself as small as possible, retreating away into her own mind.

Today, she'd rewatch an old BTS football game, maybe. Everyone cheered. Jason was quarterback. And she was Crazy Sookie, long before she was ever even close to being that way.

Raven sat down next to Sookie. Oh, no no no, no running away. She bent over the other girl, stroking her hair in some parody of comfort. Football, was it? So violent. So many chances for injury, particularly for a quarterback. Like...if he was tackled extra hard by a player on the other team, so hard that when he hit the ground there was a sickening crack.

Sookie clenched her eyes shut harder, trying to make her mind go blank. It hadn't been that strenuous a day so far, so she was actually able to push some fog into her mental landscape in an effort to prevent the intrusion.

"Hi, Raven."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] broken_empath July 25 2012, 17:51:08 UTC

"Hello, Sookie," Raven purred. "How are you feeling today?"

As if she really cared.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] justwantsfixing July 25 2012, 17:54:46 UTC

"Peachy," Sookie replied quietly, keeping her eyes shut. "Don't you have somewhere better to be?"

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] broken_empath July 25 2012, 17:56:37 UTC

"There is nothing better than visiting my friends," Raven said, reaching over to skitter her fingers down Sookie's arm like a spider. "I enjoy coming here every day to talk to them. One day perhaps you will even be allowed to leave with me. So long as you promise to be good."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] justwantsfixing July 25 2012, 17:58:01 UTC

She kept her brain foggy, concentrating on that. Raven couldn't get in unless she let her, she couldn't....

Sookie knew that wasn't true, but she tried anyway.

"No thank you. I'm fine right here."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] broken_empath July 25 2012, 19:22:33 UTC

"Do you not want to see sunshine again, Sookie?" Raven said, ever-so-gently. "You belong in the light. Your skin is so pale now, like mine. Though I do like it. It makes us more like sisters."

Except a sister wouldn't be trying to ease her way into Sookie's mind, slowly, carefully, trying to keep herself hidden.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] justwantsfixing July 25 2012, 19:41:11 UTC

"We are nothing like sisters."

Sookie's internal barriers were breaking down, as they so easily did now. Flashes of emotion were available to Raven -- fear, anger, exhaustion, a slightly manic hope that this would end, and the constant, nagging worry that it wouldn't be enough to taunt just her, anymore, that someone else would be hurt to unhinge her.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] broken_empath July 25 2012, 20:22:47 UTC

The hope was delicious, but the fear, she liked that better. "Perhaps I will leave you be for now then," she said. "And play with someone else. I have not visited Bobby in awhile, after all."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] justwantsfixing July 25 2012, 20:24:40 UTC

"He doesn't wanna talk to you," Sookie said immediately, panic rising in her chest despite herself. "Leave him be. My mind's more fun for you, anyway, ain't it?"

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] broken_empath July 25 2012, 20:36:09 UTC

"Maybe," Raven said, pretending to be indecisive. She really had no plans to ignore Bobby today, no matter what Sookie offered. "But I get bored of the same things from you every day. I want something different."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] justwantsfixing July 25 2012, 20:45:30 UTC

"What kind of different?" Sookie asked, breathing hard through her nose. She didn't care what she had to give her. It wouldn't be any worse than what Raven already send dancing through her mind any given day.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] broken_empath July 25 2012, 20:58:35 UTC

"Another fear, perhaps?" Raven said. It was different when they surrendered them instead of pulling them forcibly from their minds, but either tasted sweet.

"Or...I was told I do not know what love is. Show me love instead. That would be easy, would it not?"

Until she brought it all crashing down, of course. Whatever Sookie conjured for her, it would end in blood and death.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] justwantsfixing July 25 2012, 21:02:17 UTC

"You'll never know about love," Sookie said quietly. It wasn't a threat, or an accusation. She almost sounded sad. "Even if I showed you right now, you'd break it, because you wouldn't understand. You're like a little kid who can't have nice stuff."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/25] broken_empath July 25 2012, 22:40:04 UTC

"I want. To feel. Love," Raven ground out. "Show it to me. Now." Pain and fear were delightful, but now that she had her mind set stubbornly on something else. She'd played at sending Jono kisses the other day, but if she could hit him with real love, well, that might just finally break him.
