Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Kat (Oct 07, 2004 09:00 p.m.):[/b] There was not much to see. The complex was much smaller than the juvenile ward had been, and much more contained; there were no dark hallways here, no empty rooms to be gotten into, or at least none that Kat could see. Mostly they stuck to the main areas, and they were all standard places-- the common rooms, the showers, the library-- but there was something different about the place. The lack of inmates milling about, the absence of guards; the entire ward felt as if it were missing something, and so did Kat. She did not know this place. She would have to learn all over again. It didn't take them long to make a cursory tour, and soon they returned to her room. Kat immediately sat down on the edge of the bed. All the walking had tired her out, and the aftereffects of the sedatives had given her a terrible headache. She propped her chin in her hands and looked wearily up at Asmodeus, who was seemed uncomfortable, like he didn't want to be around her any longer. She didn't really blame him. "You can go," she said softly, to let him leave without having to make an excuse. For a moment she wondered why she would do such a thing, why she would make it easy for him, but it didn't really make a difference. He already had his hand on the door, and Kat turned away and lay down again. "You look tired. I'm tired too. I'll see you." She heard him leave, and once the door slid shut, she closed her eyes. [i]I'm glad you're here too.[/i] For the next week, she stayed close to her room, venturing out only for food and, finally, to take a shower. The lack of routine was disorienting, and she felt as if there was something she just wasn't understanding; there had to be some sort of schedule, some hierarchy that she didn't see, but nothing was evident to her. It made her uncertain, and when she never saw Asmodeus that entire week, she wondered if she didn't understand him either. At the end, on that seventh day, it became too much. Some man in one of the common areas had spoken to her, and it spooked her for a reason she couldn't define. Suddenly all she could focus on was that her door had no lock, and she no knife, and when evening came she couldn't sleep. Kat paced around her room for an hour with angry indecision before she finally swept the blanket from her bed and set off toward the other side of the ward. He came to his door only after she'd knocked seven or eight times, progressively louder and more demanding, and when he did she lost her nerve, and stared at the floor. "...can I stay with you?"[/quote]
