Special Collections, Saturday Afternoon and Night

Dec 10, 2011 13:01

Special Collections had always been a peculiar place, and now that it was to be their home for the duration of... whenever... it chose not to change that. Those who had raced into it would find their world briefly a disorienting amount of purple light and flashes of lightning and books falling from an eternal above to a perpetual below ( Read more... )

Isabel had bolted through what seemed to be the main area of the camp in search of some place where she could be alone for a while to grieve.

She found it behind a bookcase next to a small grove of toadstools. Sinking to the ground, she rested her head on her knees and wished for impossible things.

A few moments later, something orbed into her hand.

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas izzyalienqueen December 10 2011, 17:51:54 UTC

Don't mind Isabel, she's just going to sit over here under the toadstool and fall completely to pieces.

But even through her tears she knew that ring wasn't going on her finger until Wyatt put it there himself.

Savannah had seen Isabel come in, and she had seen the look on her face. It took her a few moments to get her own emotions under control and then she was following the path that the other girl had taken.

When she found her, she didn't say anything at first. She just sat down next to her and put an arm around her.

Isabel didn't say anything, just opened her tightly clenched fist so that Savannah could see the ring.

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool walks_two_paths December 10 2011, 20:25:25 UTC

Savannah saw the ring and then closed her eyes, fighting back tears. She swallowed hard, and then swallowed again.

"We'll get him back," she finally said, forcing her voice to be even. "This ... this won't be the end. We'll get him back for you."

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool izzyalienqueen December 10 2011, 20:43:23 UTC

"That's what I promised him. We've done it before." Somehow dealing with the Angels seemed easier.

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool walks_two_paths December 10 2011, 20:52:14 UTC

"And you'll keep that promise," she said quietly. "We'll keep that promise. He'd never let anything keep him from coming back to you. He's ... he's Wyatt."

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool izzyalienqueen December 10 2011, 21:04:32 UTC

"He's stubborn that way," Isabel said with the barest ghost of a smile.

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool walks_two_paths December 10 2011, 21:08:21 UTC

Savannah nodded. "He's never let anything keep him defeated before and that ... thing won't, either. He's linked to you, heart and soul, Isabel."

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool izzyalienqueen December 10 2011, 21:18:56 UTC

"I hope so." Even though right now if felt like there was a Wyatt shaped piece of her heart that was missing. "I think it was easier with the Angels. At least I knew he was still out there. But this. He's just gone."

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool walks_two_paths December 10 2011, 21:24:09 UTC

"I know so." She sounded a lot more confident than she felt, but she had to believe that they could fix this and that they could get him back. "This ... this is different than anything we've come up against, but it won't defeat us because we won't let it. And, well, he'd kick my ass really badly if I didn't believe he'd be the one to find a way back from all of this."

Truthfully? The shouting match between the two of them would be epic in other circumstances. However, she knew that Wyatt really would find a way to kick her ass if she didn't take care of Isabel until he got back.

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool izzyalienqueen December 10 2011, 21:39:46 UTC

"Him and Johnny." The shock was wearing off now and Isabel realized she was going through something Savannah had been dealing with for weeks now. "It's not just me or us. There's a lot of other people that are missing. We'll get them back."

Closing her fingers around the ring, Isabel shoved it deep into the pocket of her jeans. "He can put that on me himself."

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool walks_two_paths December 10 2011, 21:44:57 UTC

"Of course he can, you're just going to keep it safe until after he gets back and after you show him how much you love him by kicking his ass." Savannah swallowed, looking away for a moment.

How could she believe so strongly that they would get Wyatt back, but not be as convinced that she would ever see Johnny again? Because she was really good at trying to hide the hopelessness and heartbreak she was feeling.

"This is Fandom," she finally whispered. "It has never let us lose anything that mattered without there being a way for the people that have been touched by Fandom to fix it."

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool izzyalienqueen December 10 2011, 21:54:47 UTC

That's funny, Isabel was feeling a lot of those same feelings. She was just trying to put up a brave front for Savannah.

"I hope you're right."

Re: Base Camp - Tents and Secluded Areas - Isabel's Toadstool walks_two_paths December 10 2011, 21:59:34 UTC

"I'm a Levine," she said quietly, resorting to one of the more amusing of her usual comments when she was doing her damnedest to convince somebody of something. "Of course I'm right."

To be fair, she did believe she was right about Wyatt coming back because he had disappeared while on the island. That just wasn't allowed and had never been allowed. In the past when bad things happened on the island, they got fixed. Those were the rules.
