[quote=Dark Angel] Lucy held still, not flinching as the whip slashed her back. She looked up as Alastair came over, nodding her head before glancing around the room as if nothing had happened. She looked between Adalina and Roxy before sighing and rolling her eyes. She would have to do it herself. Slipping on her shirt, she walked over to the wall and sat next to Roxy, not letting her back touch the wall. "Hey." She sighed, rubbing the back of her neck. "You look terrible." Realizing how harsh she sounded with her voice so blank, she reverted back to a murmur. "...Does the collar hurt? Don't get me wrong, I still think you were being stupid for thinking people could choose their parents." She added, still annoyed from what Roxy had said earlier. But that didn't stop her from sitting next to someone who she could at least relate to a little rather than all the people who either din't care or claimed to know what she was talking about. [/quote] "No the collar doesn't hurt. What hurts is that my father sent me to this lunatic." Roxy slowly too her feet. She didn't say anything to the others. She simply headed for the door. She passed Vlad as she made her way to the door. He reached out and grabbed her arm. She flinched but didn't complain. "We will be heading to another room for Life Skills where you will learn the skills you need to survive outside in the real world. Alastair bring up the rear."
