I close my eyes, and fall. Air rushes past me, and my shadow lets out a soundless scream. My eyes fly open, and suddenly I'm back in the hospital, my back feeling like it's on fire. Gritting my teeth, I shake my head at Ambrosia's question, hissing with pain

Ambrosia - I hug her gently. "Everything will be ok."

Cassandra: "It's ok, baby," I murmur as I continue to bandage her back. "You'll be better soon, promise." Carter had long sice gone after mentioning something about dogs, and with the Outsiders gone, it was only us. "Take slow breaths, alright? You'll be fine soon."

Maryanne
Between the flashes of pain, I felt something else; grief. Like I had just lost a good friend. "I saw" Wince "these two guys. They were like" Wince "the sun and the moon, or something. They offered to" Wince "Take me to the castle"

Cassandra: My eyes widen and I stop what I'm doing. After a moment, my hands slowly pick up the bandages and get to work again. "Really? It sounds like you had a nice dream."

Maryanne
Rolling my eyes, I wince from the pain again "Dream, sure. Just like" wince, my voice lowering "Cassandra the Cannibal isn't your title, and I was stupid for even suggesting it was"

Cassandra: "What are you trying to say?" I ask quietly, the kid in the back of my mind screaming "Its 'of the' cannibals! Of, darn you!" I brush a piece of hair out of my face. "And what's that my title for? I'm not royalty or anything, so miss would probably work better."

XD sorry, sorry, "Of the cannibals"
Maryanne
"I'm saying" I fume, trying to sit up but failing "that I'm tired, and I'm hungry, and I have the strangest feeling I just met death...and I would like some straight answers, not dream crap"

Lol, sorry. Couldn't resist. The kid of kid she was definately would've had a fit about that. ;D

Cassandra: "Food it is then!" I say perhaps a bit too happily. "I'll see if I can get an extra grilled cheese from the lunch ladies. After all, I haven't been down to eat either...they'd probably believe me."

XD
Maryanne
"Alright, alright" I give in, my stomach aching with hunger "but this isn't over, alright Cass?"

Ambrosia - I walk up to Maryanne after Cass leaves, "She's just trying to forget about it Maryanne," I say.

Cassandra: "Of course not! You'll probably not some pain killers too, hm?" I hurry off downstairs and come back with four sandwhiches, two for her and two for Carter when he came back. I had to tell the ladies that I hadn't eaten since breakfast yesterday and that I didn't like people to see me eat. But hey- hopefully it'll be worth it. I open up to door and place the plate in front of her. "Here- try not to scarf it down either. It won't be good for your wounds."

Maryanne
"Why?! If I had that kind of title, or went to the castle, or did half the things she's probably done, I would never want to forget a second of it!" But the pain is trying to will me under again, and my eyes start to close "Just...doesn't...make...sence..." Then she comes back with the samwiches "Thanks" I mutter, trying not to scarf mine down

Ambrosia - "Because everyone thought she was crazy, they sent her to an asylum." I say quietly.

Samwiches! Lol. ;D
One of my friends actually made her boyfriend her sandwhich when we went out to eat...she's still living that down.

Cassandra: Ever get that feeling that you were being talked about before you left, and now you feel like everything you do is akward? I gulp down some water and try to relax, to no use. Andrea comes in after a moment holding a blonde demon's hand. He's extremely pale and all of his veins show through his skin. His lavender eyes look around the room as his paramour comes in, a woman made from smoke and ashes. He takes off his hat and bows, revealing the ram like horns in his head. Raziel and Jane.

Ambrosia - "Jane." I whisper. I hadn't seen her in a long time. She had just stopped coming by.

Bad speller, alright?
Maryanne
Cass seemed to be looking at somebody, someone "What is it?" I asked in a whisper "what do you see?" I was done with my sandwich

Oh, no! I thought you did that on purpose! Like when people go"Make me a sammich?" I didn't mean it like that.

Ambrosia - "It's nothing Maryanne," I say.

Jane: "See? She sees that seeing is believing and so seeing is the line between imagination and reality. But only if you believe what you see." Raziel smiles at the familiar faces and then at the new one, still holding on to the girl's hand.

Cassandra: I can't help but think the last part was aimed at me. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. To tell or not to tell? Something tells me she'll just keep on asking if I don't.

Ambrosia - I smile at Raziel. I want to reprimand him for not being there more, but I stayed silent.

XD I wasn't offended, I just really stink that badly.
Maryanne
"Fine, keep your secrets, be selfish with your gift" I sigh, turning on my side, feeling my emotions crush me like a bug "it's your choice"

Ambrosia - "I'll tell you, later, in a more secluded place," I say.

Maryanne
"If Cass will let you" I sigh

Jane: "You know your choices and we know your choices, but how do we know that you know to make the right one?" Cassandra frowns and lowers her head guiltily. I can't see her expression as she quietly asks ,"Look, do you want me to tell you another story? I promise there's a point to it."
