She felt a flicker of rage. So she was forcing him to be with her. That must be it. Her faced twitched strangely, but he back was to Lochlann now. She clenched her fists, shaking very briefly before her hands suddenly relaxed and her signs of anger vanished. She couldn’t act strangely around him right now, not when he was trying to leave her. “I’ll get it back from her, kay?â€Â
She decided right there that she would, no matter what she had to pull to do it. Of course she’d play nice and ask nicely for it, then tell the headmistress if that didn’t work… but if it came to it…
As she finished closing up her now oddly shaped bag, she sighed tiredly, still smiling the strange smile. She rubbed her face, but only succeeded to making the blood into a small smear instead of taking it all the way off. “Lochlann… You’re not supposed to drink when you take sleeping pills you know. And you’re not supposed to take anywhere near that many. And you’re supposed to take them with food… So… I dunno. I’m gonna go get Lilly. I think she’s still in the computer lab.†She grabbed her coat and finally turned back towards him.
She bent down and put it over him before stroking his hair for just a moment, smiling as soothingly as she could, though she still didn’t seem right. It was like something in her brain had snapped a little. “I’m going to be right back so… Stay awake until I get back, kay?†Her adorable tendency to say like and stutter had vanished at some point. She didn’t seem much like herself. She looked down and noticed the liquor that had ended up back in his pocket somehow. She reached towards it in an attempt to take it away. Presuming her attempts were successful, as she turned and left, running down the hall and trying to wipe the blood off of her face, she dropped it in the hallway garbage can.
Lilly had beat Cassie back to the room by a full thirty seconds. They both had run there and Lilly had outrun Cassie a while ago, though Cassie has run as fast as her short legs could carry her. There were sounds of invisible wings flapping as the shaggy headed girl tried to stop though she ended up having to hop over lochlann and catch herself on the desk next to him before she whirled around and kneeled next to him. “Hey buddy! I’m Lilly. What’s your name huh?†She chimed happily. “What’s up? Your girlfriend here says you took a bunch of sleeping pills, is that true?†She patted him on the chest to make sure he was awake before she leaned over him to take his pulse.
Cassie stood in the doorway panting. She had told her as much as she could, breifly bring up the water horse thing and spending more time on his piss poor state instead. Lilly looked up at her and smiled. “Cassie honey bun, go wash up, you look like horse shit.†She laughed at her own stupid inappropriate joke. “No really though you have like blood all over your hands and your makeup’s all smeared. He’ll be alright till you get back.†Cassie stared at her silently, still smiling even though she was panting and clearly disturbed. She said nothing as she turned and walked down the hall.
As soon as she was gone Lilly’s smile fell and she looked at Lochlann with a raised brow and a stern face. “You said some stupid shit to that kid didn’t you.†She sighed, rubbing her temples before she stood suddenly and walked out of the room to get a trashcan form the hallway. “Alright Pony-boy. This is what’s going to happen. Either I take you to the hospital and they probably put you in the mental ward for a while for trying to off yourself or you puke in this trashcan and let Cassie feed you human food.†She sat down on the ground and lay the trashcan on its side across her lap. Of course the booze had to be in THIS particular trashcan, but Lilly didn’t notice. She roughly grabbed his shoulder and carefully put her cold hand on the back of his neck, being sure to keep her hand there to make sure if he started to choke she could pull him back. Then she not-so-delicately shoved his head in the trashcan. “So you’re a kelpie huh? I knew a kelpie. He was living in the sewers in Chicago. Died of a heroin overdose and an empty stomach. Good friend of mine, we had a lot in common.†She sighed, taking her one hand off of the trashcan to make sure his hair wasn’t in his face and giving him the only moment of escape from the face-trashcan action she was going to. “Yeah, so how you doin with the not eating people thing? Probably not so good huh? You don’t look like you know the meaning of limitations.†She laughed at him. Yes at him. She tended to get pretty pissed when guys like this walked all over innocent little girls like Cassie.
That and the fact that she knew for a fact he didn’t visit her in the hospital. That’s fuckin cold. Still, she continued her chatter, partly because that’s how she was and partly because she needed to keep him awake. “You know I have the same sort of problem. I have to eat brain waves and if I don’t eat all the time I can suck out someone’s soul. Shit’s worse than death. I never let myself though. It’s all about self-control man. You put up limits for yourself, don’t let yourself go hungry. But you gotta put some tough limits for yourself you know? I just don’t have sex with people. If I do, they’ll probably die. So I’m just not going to do it. Can’t give yourself the option. It’s not Can I. You just don’t, you know?†She hated to see him like this. It reminded of her friend, Whinny. People and their self medication. She got it, she understood the draw, but generally the people doing it didn’t know how messed up they were making themselves. Whinny used to do the same shit, then he died. And he died ignoring her advice like a dick hole. He's screw people, then go home and shoot up to stop the craving. She always knew it was possible for him to stop if it was possible for him to go and shoot up afterwards. It made her sick just thinking about it.
But that was part of living on the street. People died. And Whinny wasn't by far the worst case she'd seen. She looked down at Lochlann. This kid was a pussy, but he'd make it. He just needed to puke and get some food and water in him. Then his kidneys would be in immense pain for the next two days. But he'd make it. Wow, Cassie really was taking a long time.
Ahwell. That was in the past.
She decided right there that she would, no matter what she had to pull to do it. Of course she’d play nice and ask nicely for it, then tell the headmistress if that didn’t work… but if it came to it…
