[i]What a load of crap...[/i] Kari, still not able to speak much more let the angel carry her back to her apartment. She wasn't even in much of a mood to notice the beauty of his wings, she was more irritated by it all in the end. Though, to be fair, the flight was quick... and frightening. For a girl that was already scared half to death, it was a bit much for her heart and the moment his feet touched the ground, Kari was up and stumbling up the stairs to her room. Not a single word to Katiel, not a single word to anyone or anything. In a few hours her mother would come home... Tomorrow, class would go on like it always had. As if this whole thing were a dream. It kind of made her angry that she almost didn't want it to be a dream. All of that just to wake up angry and upset. She sat down on her bed, staring down at the floor. The scenes from the day playing over and over in her mind. the woman, the gun, the knife, Katiel talking to her on the bridge. His words as they left. [i]God isn't there for me. You are. Idiot.[/i] She rolled her eyes and fell against her bed. Not wanting to talk to Katiel, even if he entered the house, she turned over her sheets and slipped inside her bed without changing. It took a while, but after much tossing and turning, she managed to let sleep take a hold of her. --- [b]"I'm off!"[/b] Melissa called out from the door. She smiled as she heard the familiar voice of Bill from the supply closet. [b]"Alright. You be careful now, Mel!"[/b] He told her, yelling so that she'd hear him. [b]"Why do they always make you close up?"[/b] Mel shrugged and continued out the door and to her car. It was late now and her daughter was probably either asleep, online, or playing games. The latter two probably true. She grinned to herself, chuckling at the thought of her daughter asleep with the controller in her hands. It had happened once or twice, the game still playing as the little avatar Mario slept on the screen. She drove, trying to get home within the best time she could manage. She wanted to get to bed so that she could possibly get up by the time Kari was headed out for school. It was always her goal even though sometimes it didn't really work out that way. Especially when shit like this happens... She stopped her car on a dime, the wheels screeched as she came within inches of hitting the woman standing in the middle of the road. Mel raised a brow, at first confused, and then lowered it, her expression turning into a scowl. She glared at the woman, clearly unhappy with what the woman had made her do. She rolled down her window and yelled at her, [b]"You know! If you're looking to kill yourself, there are quicker and easier ways that don't have to make me feel like a killer! Bitch!"[/b] She screamed, uncaring of the woman's circumstances. She had no sympathy for people like this. What she wasn't expecting was the woman's gun and the ominous sounding voice that came out of her mouth. [b]"Where is the N̓̉̈́̂͘e̊̇̓̍̎p̈́͂̍̇̕h̐͌͐̀̚ȉ̈́̓́͠l̀̍͂̈́̇i̛͋̄̑͛m̉̉̂̋͝?"[/b]
