Detention, Depths of the Castle, Thursday

Jul 26, 2012 01:59

Another beautiful day had begun in Fandom, not that anyone in detention would have noticed. The lack of sunlight, the pleasant sound of Umbridge's voice, and the slightly stale smell of breakfast were all important aspects to making every day in detention routine! Surely everyone knew that surprises were no fun ( Read more... )

Raven scrambled away from Sookie's body, panicked and confused. This wasn't right. It couldn't be real.

"No, no, NO," she shrieked, clutching her head in her hands, trying to make some sense of the screaming of the child of Azarath and the howling of the demon and the magics that were clamping down again on them both.

Jack was already on his feet, feeling ... not particularly human at all. Karla's visit had already messed him up, and now ...

Now that felt like child's play.

"You didn't," he said, in a voice that was almost a growl. "Fix it."

Raven shrank back, frightened and confused and not sure what she was supposed to do.

Obey.

"I-I cannot," she stammered. "I do not know how!" She wasn't sure if she was talking to Jack or the magics clawing at her brain.

"Well, then you shouldn't have been bloody playing with her to start with, should you have?" Jack asked wildly, and glanced to the rest of the group. "I don't suppose anyone here has forgotten to tell us they're a doctor."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/26] - Post Sookie Killage! broken_empath July 26 2012, 21:53:55 UTC

"She would not obey!" Raven protested feebly. "She had to learn to obey!"

She lifted her head, voice becoming more steady as she looked at Jack. "And so do you."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/26] - Post Sookie Killage! cursednotbroken July 26 2012, 23:11:59 UTC

Jack snorted despite the sting of tears at his eyes. "There's one person in the world I obey at all -- and he isn't a psychotic killer bitch. Do your worst, sweetheart. Give us all more of a reason to shred you to bits."

He was talking wildly, without really listening to himself -- but he absolutely meant it.

Raven cackled madly, fed by the crush of emotions around her yet wanting to escape it all as well. Fear, fear would drive them back.

She lifted her hand. "I am not the only killer here," she said, trying to worm her way into his mind. She could feel the hidden fear of becoming a beast, a wolf, out of control and hunting, claws and fangs tearing into the flesh of someone screaming No, Jack, no! She pulled it forth, trying to make it seem real in his mind.

"I never --" Jack said, and then the vision overtook him. He stared at his hands, not understanding how he felt the pain of their transformation so clearly when he could see they were the same pink slabs as always.

He shut his eyes tightly. "No. This isn't real. You aren't real."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/26] - Post Sookie Killage! broken_empath July 27 2012, 01:34:04 UTC

"I will make it real!" Raven hissed, pushing harder. "Leave me be or I will trap you in your nightmare forever, like I did to her."

Which wasn't precisely the truth, but if it got people away from her so she could get out of there, she'd let them believe it.

Jack stepped back a fraction. He could see Emma coming in in a fury, and his fellow prisoners were pressing against Raven as well. He had no desire to be the second dead person in detention today if Raven lost control.

And besides, he needed to cry.

"One day you'll get what you deserve," he said, with the last of his energy. "And the rest of us will laugh."

"Hunter, not a doctor," Dojima said, looking over at Bobby. "But I can tell you we don't need a doctor. Not for her, anyway."

Zoe had tried to be rational in dealing with Raven. She'd tried to remain stoic and calm in the face of the girl's terrifying powers. But that time was ending as she rushed over and knelt down next to Sookie, checking her for any signs of life. "What did you do to her?" she yelled.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/26] - Post Sookie Killage! broken_empath July 26 2012, 21:03:06 UTC

"I broke her. I broke her," Raven whimpered, rocking against the wall. "I broke my toy. I broke my friend."

No, no friends. Just obedience.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/26] - Post Sookie Killage! bigdamnprisoner July 26 2012, 21:30:27 UTC

"She's not a toy," Zoe said sharply. "Fix her, now. Undo whatever you just did. You can't leave her like this."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/26] - Post Sookie Killage! broken_empath July 26 2012, 22:01:09 UTC

"I cannot heal death!" Raven cried.

You can only cause it.

"She was bad. She would not do as she was told. She had to be punished."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/26] - Post Sookie Killage! bigdamnprisoner July 26 2012, 22:15:50 UTC

"Not like this!" Zoe yelled. "She was a good girl. All she ever did in here was try to make us feel better. She didn't deserve this. Does it hurt to know what you've done?"
