Worry

Eloi's powers had gone out of control, and Abigail had had to intervene to make sure she and another male student hadn't gotten hurt. The woman was currently leaning against one of the walls in the hospital wing, white hair flowing down and violet eyes fixated on the room in which the younger telekinetic lay. Abigail thought it her duty not only as Headmistress to watch over her, but also as a telekinetic herself.

She was extremely worried about the child, though there was anger in her as well. How could that facility just ignore her powers and pretend that they weren't there? Pretend that it was just from stress... any idiot would know that it wouldn't be from stress. She wondered how many other people in that facility had to go through the same thing, but hadn't been rescued. It only pained her to think of such a thing.

Figuring it would be a while before Eloi woke up, the Headmistress sat down in one of the chairs and crossed her legs, folding her hands as well. "So," she said, looking to Deacon, "what's your name?" Abigail wasn't looking for conversation; she just liked getting to know her students.

It had been a day out gone awry, and Deacon cursed himself for he wasn't able to do much to help. He was seated alone on one of the chairs in the hospital wing. He felt horrible for poor Eloi, having to be alone all her life, and he now understood the reason why. Why did he let this happen, he thought. He hated himself furiously right now for that. Startled as the same motherly toned voice from before had spoken to him, Deacon turned to look at the woman. "Umm...me?...I'm Deacon..." he said.

"Umm...me?...I'm Deacon..."

"I'm Abigail," the Headmistress said. She didn't like being called by her last name, even if it may have been more 'proper'. "It's nice to meet you." She went silent for a few moments, still looking at Eloi's room. She hoped the girl would be alright... she had been though enough as it was, to have her powers go out of control like this would probably just be added pressure.

Violet eyes returned to the boy — Deacon, as he had said his name was. "So, how do you know her?" the woman questioned.

"It's...nice to...meet you too." the lowly pyro replied to the woman. She seemed like a nice woman, though looks can be decieving. Ruby red eyes looked over in the direction of the door that lead into to Eloi's room. He just wished she would feel better soon. He just wanted to be her friend, that's all...

He looked back over to the woman, who had now asked how he knew the girl. He shrugged. "Umm...actually...I just met her...uhh...not too long ago, really, near the lake. I jus' wanted to say hi. Then I learned that she's mute. We were out in the city...then this happened..." For once in his life, he didn't really feel like talking. He was flatout nervous.

Ouch... Her head hurt. Eloi slowly opened her eyes, finding herself in the ward again. (Or so she believed). She screamed, and started shaking her head. No, no, no, no no. It was all a dream! How could she have been so stupid to believe that someone would rescue her, befriend her, and the like? She wondered why she wasn't on the sedatives however, the nurses were really good at keeping her doped up.

She started to cry, leaning forward, wondering why she wasn't strapped down. Perhaps that figured she'd be out cold for another few days. She bent her knees and sobbed into them. Abigail was a dream, Deacon was a dream, the whole Academy had been a dream. But... it all seemed to so real. She could see them, touch them, and talk with them... sort of. How could a dream be so real? Perhaps it was common with sedative telekinetics. She didn't know.

Though... She was happy, because that meant that she didn't really hurt those people in the city, she didn't really almost hurt Deacon. Because he nor they, existed. But... She missed them.

Once Abigail saw movement through the window, she bolted out of her chair. The sudden movement caused her to stumble, and she would have fallen over her feet had she not grabbed onto a nearby chair. Taking a breath , she started walking now to Eloi's room, not wanting to cause another embarrassing scene.

She took the door handle and twisted it, entering the room. Upon seeing Eloi with her knees bent and crying, her features softened and she stood in the doorway for a moment before going to the girls bedside. Had the realization of what she had done come that quickly after waking up? It had been Abigail's experience that people were usually a bit out of it when first regaining consciousness... perhaps Eloi was different.

"Eloi?" Abigail questioned softly, taking a seat next to the bed. "Are you alright, sweetie?"

Deacon was taken by surprise as the woman, named Abigail, had rushed out of her seat, stumbling in the process. As she walked toward the door, he would soon follow. He stood not too far behind her as she opened the door. He followed her inside and positioned himself at Eloi's bedside, opposite from Abigail. She probably knew what she may have done to all those people in the city, and to him. He couldn't blame her for that. He just sat there, rarely remaining quiet as he awaited her response.

"Eloi?"

A familiar voice trailed into the young telepathic's ears. She looked up through her sobs, and saw her two friends Abigail and Deacon. Her eyes went wide, and she threw her arms around Abigail, almost falling out of the bed. There were so many things she wanted to say to them! How she missed them and thought they weren't real, and yet her mouth moved to form words. But nothing came out. Her voice failed her once again.

She then saw Deacon, and started crying again. She shook her head, and waved at him a little. "Deacon..." She thought. "I don't want to hurt you..." She thought it would be best for him if he stayed away from her. She had gotten too close to scaring him, perhaps even killing him. She turned to Abigail, and she looked to her with hurt etyes. "I don't want to hurt him... Please, don't let him be near me, I'll kill him..."

Abigail let out a slight yelp of surprise as Eloi threw her arms around her. She smiled after the surprise wore off and smiled softly, returning the hug that she had been given. A sad look came to her eyes as she saw Eloi's mouth move, though no sound came out. Such things were always depressing, really. At least she could still tell people things through her thoughts... to be condemned to a life of silence wasn't fair to anyone.

"I don't want to hurt him... Please, don't let him be near me, I'll kill him..."

Eloi started crying. The Headmistress rubbed the child's back in an attempt to calm her, not liking to see any of her students upset. "Don't worry," she said. "You won't be killing anybody. I can start helping you with your powers whenever you want." The sooner the better, most likely. The sooner Eloi learned the control her powers, the sooner she would stop thinking like that. Maybe in the process her confidence level would go up. "As long as I'm around, you won't kill anybody, sweetie."

Her eyes went to Deacon, wondering if he wanted to stay in there now because of what had been said. Poor girl... she thought to herself.

Deacon tried his best to break a smile as he waved back at her. He wanted to say something, but what? What was he supposed to say to her? She was an emotional wreck, but he wanted to help her. He just wanted to be her friend. That's all that mattered to him. He watched as Abigail and Eloi shared a hug. He debated in his mind whether he should try to get closer to her or not. Maybe she was afraid of hurting him...He felt horrible...
