Two more girls had appeared, with one practically demanding to know what had happened. And Penny answered with a bit less tact than was necessary. Though, honestly, Caelea would’ve said the exact same thing normally. She had some respect for Penny there. But now really wasn’t the time. Even Cael knew that. Although it didn’t seem like she had meant to say it. Heat of the moment, probably. Tuyen didn’t know what to do apart from stand there helplessly, watching the fight unfold. She knew why Penny had said more than she meant to – after all she knew about Rita’s abstraction. But she wasn’t about to rat the other girl out. Rita had stuck with her so far and trusted her with the full details of it. She wasn’t going to betray the trust of one of the few people she could currently put up with. But the fighting, it didn’t help the panic Tuyen was already feeling. The voices grated on her mind – over something so small, a slip up of words. So many had died so far, what good did fighting about it do? Why couldn’t they all just shut up? “Guys, now is really not the time to fight each other,” Caelea piped in, eyeing Zoey and Penny and trying to figure out if there was any way to separate them. Between her and Justin they probably could… but not if abstractions came into it. She’d just hurt someone with hers. “There are more important things… like if more of those things come.” Really the last think she wanted was those two killing each other. Or anyone killing each other. They already had some kind of eldritch abomination trying to do that. Another person arriving caught Caelea’s attention – a guy this time, and he looked a lot more confused than any of the rest. Cael didn’t remember ever seeing him before. He didn’t seem to take to well to the two dead bodies, either. A reasonable reaction. What was disorienting was when he split into three. Two version were constantly flickering in and out of view, forcing Caelea to look away. That was just a headache in the making. “Oh, we’re just having a friendly conversation in the middle of a hospital,” she couldn’t help but respond sarcastically to his question of what was going on. It was fairly obvious something had happened and as much as he seemed to be an awakened, Caelea wasn’t about to just drop the bombshell on him. There was enough stress with Zoey and Penny being at each other’s necks anyway. She was still far to ready to have to jump in and stop the two from killing each other. “I don’t know what went on with that,” Tuyen spoke up helpfully, nodding towards the dead body and trying to ignore the fight that was going on. If there was one thing that helped her ignore her own problems it was helping others, though. “This is probably all very confusing… But basically there’s something coming after all of us and we need to get away from it. That’s not very reassuring is it?” Like she could reassure him. What could she say? Oh yeah those four probably killed the dead people but don’t worry, we’ll kill anything else that turns up to try and hurt us. “It’s hard to explain.” [hr][center] [img] http://txt-dynamic.cdn.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjcyLjBkNzI0NS5UV0Z5YVdwdUlFUnlhV1Z6YzJWdUlBLCwuMQAA/happyhanneke.regular.png [/img] [/center] [code] St Mercer Hospital[/code] [sub][@Ruler Inc][/sub] [hr] “Getting the hell out of here sounds like a good plan,” Rien very quickly agreed, quite happily taking the hand Kimberley offered. They felt far from safe in this situation but at least they were with someone they knew. They didn’t quite trust all the other awakened. “I, for one, have never liked hospitals.” They headed towards the door quietly, sticking a head out to check what was around. Nothing. “Coast is a little too clear for my liking. Think this place has any back exits or will we have to head to the main one?” [hr][center] [img] http://txt-dynamic.cdn.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjk2LjY2OTFmZi5UV2x1TFVwMWJpQkNZV1ZyLjAA/attic.regular.png[/img] [/center] [code] St Mercer Hospital[/code] [hr] It was cold when Min woke up, even under a blanket that was far too scratchy to be his own. He didn’t remember much from when he was asleep. There was a few dreams but most had been reliving the past, all his successes. Tuyen had been missing from them all. He tried not to dwell on it. It was easy to figure out that he was in a hospital, images flooding his mind as he concentrated on his hand on the bed. He didn’t know exactly how long but he’d been asleep a long time. His parents had visited, but not recently. Carefully he climbed out of the bed, unsteady on his feet but quickly regaining the ability to walk. The chill that hit his feet was unpleasant but not unbearable. His mind set on finding clothes and people he headed to the door, out and into the hall and towards the lobby.
