Fenris was watching carefully as Chess was making his moves on Laura. When Liv got up and walked over to the table and threatened Chess he wanted to clap with joy. Things were progressing nicely. He waved off two of the orderlies who had looked to intervene and they nodded. It was not quite time yet to interrupt his fun. They must be allowed to go almost to the edge before he pulled them back. Hell, maybe a bit over it this time. It had been a while since any of them had spent any special time in isolation or had to attend a one on one rehab session with him. Both had its merits since both allowed him to use his talents to play with them in one way or the other. He looked over at the table where Evan and Daniel were sitting and frowned. It was too quiet over there. At first it had seemed like they were going to dance to his tune but now they were both sitting there just working like he had told everyone to. Something needed to happen to spice things up. Just what could he do to get then to play again? Should he wait until they were done with their assignment first? He pondered for a minute and then he had it. The perfect thing to get the results he craved. Yes, he would let them finish their little assignment and when they all came back to the circle then the fun would really begin. ------------------------------------------ "What is going on with Liv?" Winter wondered aloud as her partner suddenly a fused herself and walked over to Chess's table and then slammed a pencil down into it. Winter's eyes widened at her actions and she whispered, "Oh my. Is she upset with Chess about something? Could it be about him touching Laura? He didn't do anything wrong though. I mean Uncle Tyler always touched me and Summer like that so I don't get what the big deal is really. Although I remember when mama found out about it she wasn't too happy and then after that we never really saw Uncle Tyler anymore. Oh well." She watched Liv whisper something in Chess's ear and then she headed n.a. k to the table. "Is everthing alright now? Should we continue?" Winter smiled at Liv and then felt herself start to drift again. She was almost lost back in her thoughts when she thought she was Summer out of the corner of her eye. Her heart sped up and she darted her eyes around but Summer was no longer there. "It is not right. Summer is not allowed to come to group sessions. She knows what will happen if she does. Why did she try and show up here? Is she trying to punish me for something? She knows it is not allowed. I won't let her ruin this for me. Even though I miss her I need this time by myself." Winter started to shake and the pencil in her hand snapped in two. She would not lose control of things , not now. Summer was not allowed in group so would just have to wait until afterwards. She knew the consequences of showing up here. The Dr. Would see her and then Things would be ruined. It was the rule that the Dr. Could never see her in group. They would not be allowed to be together anymore if he did. The doctor had told Winter that when she first came here. That is something that Winter just would not let happen. Once group was over she and Summer would have a little talk. ---------------------------------------- Ryan laughed When he saw Liv stand up and he smiled a true smile for the first time all day. He had noticed Chess being a Percy douchebag as usual and knee that with anyone else it wouldn't really matter but with Laura, Liv would not stand for it. It had only been a matter of time for her to show Chess the error of his ways. It was going to be interesting to see if the Dumbasses pushed it farther. He was only borderline now but if his hands moved south or North anymore then everyone would see the real Liv. That was a wonderous sight. Hell he hoped that Chess did go farther since he had not seen his sister loose her shit in front of people in way too long. In fact, the last time had been not too long after they had been reunited and Ryan had gone to live with their father. His sister had some friends over for a study session and their dad had come home and started to rail on Ryan for not doing the dishes or some other mundane bullshit. They had been arguing which the. Escalated into shoving and one of Livs friends had made the mistake of coming into the kitchen at just the wrong time and had gotten shoved by their dad When he swung wildly at Ryan and hit the China cabinet. Liv had come flying into the room like some avenging angel and their father had not stood a chance. It had been awesome. His sister was truly a force to be reckoned with when she let her temper loose. He was grateful that he was not the recipient of it most of the time. Only twice had he received her wrath and he still had the scars both physical and mental to remind him not to push her that far. However, she could Fucking kill Chess right in front of him and all He would do was laugh. The prick deserved it for daring to exist. Oh yes, he hoped that Chess kept up his bullshit. Ryan looked at Alice and said, "She is wonderful isn't she. Just wait and if Chess is stupid enough to continue then you will see something truly amazing." Ryan Sat up straighter and turned his full attention to Liv and waited. ------------------------------------------ Malcolm jumped a foot in the air when Liv pulled the pencil trick. He looked at Katherine and asked, "Should we intervene? I mean we don't want anyone to get hurt but since she went back to her table should we anything?" He was a bit nervous where Liv was concerned since he had never seen her truly upset. He did not know what to expect. When nothing else happening and the rest of the group's planning time was over he breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want to have to deal with any episodes today since so far it had been a good day. He went to each group and told them it as time to go back to circle. As everyone got up and started to move he whispered to Katherine, "I will be right back. I just need to speak to one of the nurses about a change in their schedule this afternoon. I forgot to mention it to them earlier and I wouldn't want them to get into trouble." With a quick smil3, he walked over to where the nurses were standing and quickly told them about the changes. He did not know why the Dr. Thought they needed double coverage in the isolation ward this afternoon but he must have his reasons. He was on his way back to Katherine when he heard a commotion. He looked up and what he saw made him wonder if maybe the Dr. Was a psychic because the need for double coverage in isolation was looking pretty Damn likely. ------------------------------------------ Chess wasn't even aware of anyone except him and Laura until the pencil slammed down into the desk by his hand and he looked up to see Liv. She seems upset and when she whispered her words in his ear he felt something inside click. As she walked off he said, "was that supposed to be a threat sweetheart?" He then turned around and looked at Chris and shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know what got her panties in a knot? I have just been being friendly with our sweet Laura here. Last I heard that was not a crime. Sometimes girls are so emotional. Maybe she is jealous that I am not paying attention to her? Who knows." He glanced over at Laura and sweetly said, "I am sorry for the interruption. I don't know why Liv acted that way. I am sure she did not mean to scare you." The next ten minutes passed quickly and he didn't do anything else but inside he was raging. [i] That little bitch thinks she can come over here and try and mess with me. How dare she threaten my hands! As if she she has the balls to really do anything anyway. I should really teach her a lesson about getting too mouthy. Let's see, I think that what I have planned next should prove my point just fine. [/i] He smiled at Chris and Laura When they were told to go back to circle and put his hand on Laura's waist again to guide her. He waited until they were almost to their seats and he didn't think anyone except Liv was looking and gave Laura a pay and firm squeeze in the ass before sitting down. No one told him what he could and couldn't do. ---------------------------------------- Laura cried out in shock when she heard the pencil slam into the desk. She could tell that Liv was upset but didn't understand just what had made her so mad at Chess. It was true that he had been a bit friendly and touchy with her but it hadn't been inappropriate or anything. It had made her a bit uncomfortable a time or two but she was used to That. Pretty much everything and everyone in this place did that at one time or another. The noises in her mind were getting louder now. When she spoke to peole she had to concentrate to get her words out and everything was starting to sound like it was underwater. When they were told to go back to circle she felt Chess out his hand on her waist Once again but did not think anything since she kind of needed the support right then. Her limbs felt weird and a bit shaky so she was grateful for his help. They were almost to their seats when she felt Chris's hand go a bit lower than before and then he squeezed flesh that he shouldn't. She whipped her eyes to his and saw he was looking at Liv with a strange expression. She had let out a soft gasp when she felt his hand on her add but decided that it wasn't worth fighting since she was really starting to feel bad now and just wanted to sit down and rest while she could still think straight. Maybe later when she was fully aware again she would think about things and decide what she should do. ------------------------------------------ When Evan threw the ball of paper at gim, Daniel stuck his tongue out at her in retaliation. He would rather have ca lied her a few choice names but did not want to disturb the fragile peace they had right then. On the other side of the room when Liv had slammed the penc into the desk by Chess, Daniel smiled to himself. He was glad that he was not a part of that little incident. While Chess was kind of annoying, it was Liv that scared him. She was too calm most of the time and from experience he knew that the calm ones were the ones to watch out for. When they were told to head back to circle, Daniel took his time gathering up the stuff they needed for their little presentation of skit or whatever. He was not in a hurry to be the center of attention. He knew that Evan had actually drawn something and he could only hope that it went with what he had written and wasn't something odd like a grim reaper riding a unicorn or some such nonsense. He had seen a few of her pictures and her idea of art was just slightly fucked up. The one That had most disturbed him had been of two children swinging on a swing set. The sun had been setting and one of the children had blood dripping from their hands and feet while the other was grinning and had what looked to be a blade of some sort in their hand as they held the chain. In the background had been two people standing there in an embrace but one was obviously dead and the other had their teeth buried in the others throat ripping off a chunk of flesh. Daniel shuddered just thinking about it. Making his way slowly to his seat with his hands full, he was almost there when he tripped over something that was sticking out and started to fall. He threw out his hands to brace himself, his armful of stuff went flying and before he knew it he was pressed up against Evan who he had knocked to the floor with him. His hands were touching something soft and squishy but firm at the same time and his mouth was pressed firmly against her lips. [i] Oh fuck! Please tell me this did not just happen! [/i] It was like some bad anime scene and Daniel just knew what happened next would majorly suck.
