Sofie brushed her hair behind her ears as she sprayed the mattresses with the cleaning spray.  She'd have to make up the earlier knife wielding scare with Ed, but she didn't know what to do. But seeing him, she supposed it wouldn't have to be such a big trade off.  She'd dealt in many different pay backs before and she had the feeling that this one wouldn't be as bad as all her others.  Sofie chuckled as she set the spray down.

While Ed was away Sofie decided to call Moglet.  She had to update him with everything that was going on.

"What's up, Sofe?" The smooth but raspy voice on the other end made her break into a smile.
"Hey, Mog! I've reached the school and everything."
"Yeah, I know.  I've been checking the Unlocker logs.  I saw your entry for room B2224. You been sneaking around? Stealing stuff?" He laughed.  Oh god, Sofie missed that laugh.
"It was my own room." She grinned again, expecting another laugh, which Moglet delivered.
"Sofie, I never knew you were that smart!" This time Sofie let herself give a tiny giggle.
"The anger's come back again.  I wanted to harm someone a few hours ago, it was just my instinct to want to do it." Her voice was much more serious now.
"Sofie, stop letting it take over you.  I have my moments too, you know? But what do I do? I tell myself how inhumane that is and I feel guilty for thinking it.  The next time I feel that anger I remind myself that I am safe and it's only my useless instincts talking and it subsides."
"Mmmmm..." She bites her nails, shifting on the barren mattress.
"Sofie? Sofie."
"Yeah, I'm still here."
"You listen to me okay? You're safe.  You're safe, okay, Sofie? Nothing will hurt you ever again.  You get that right?" 
"Yes."
"And all that leftover anger from your past, all those things that you had to do to survive, you have to let that go because you don't need those instincts anymore.  Those instincts and reactions will only hurt people who have done nothing to you..."
"Uhm,  I've got to go now, Sofie."
"I miss you so much." She whispered.
"Me too, Sofe, me too.  You stay safe out there okay?"
"Okay"

Sofie turned off her phone and brushed a couple of tears from her eyes.  She was starting to turn weaker and weaker everyday. Sofie back then wouldn't have cried.

She startled when she heard the knock on the door and looked on as Ed came in and sat next to her.
[i]"I think that's everything..."

She nodded and rose from the bed.  She was going to unpack and get settled in.
