All of it was compounded from worry and anxiety over Nemo being captured, them traversing to a world most of them knew nothing about, and above it all, her mother somehow, some way, being involved. The party the night before had been a welcome distraction. She had helped Chase prepare, but left him to do most of the work as he was excited to do this. It was wild, Percy and Dorian didn't come despite it being [i]for[/i] Percy, but she also knew the boy would likely not enjoy himself. What truly excited her was seeing Leah waltz in with blue hair that was styled. It made her even more attractive, which seemed impossible, and Sabine was demoralized to not be able to run her hand through it lest she want her palms completely shredded. Still, the night was enjoyable, and she was happy to be amongst friends, new and old. It distracted her enough until she got back to her dorm room with Leah. It was then that she decided to tell Leah what had bothered her. She opened up about her mother, which Leah already knew, but now with the vision, it seemed her mother was somehow involved. That her mother had been alive this whole time and never reached out to let Sabine know she was okay. Leah did her job as 'supportive girlfriend' by being angry at Sabine's mother and Sabine took comfort that Leah would stand up for her if needed. But Sabine also knew she would need to be the one to look her mother in her eyes and ask...no, demand to be told why. When she woke up Leah was already gone. She went over to Jean-Luc, who perked up at her. It felt like ages since she spent time with him and part of her wanted to keep him here. But she did not trust anyone to take care of him. Her father and stepmother would not care. She scratched under his chin and gave him belly rubs. [color=A2797E]"You ready for this Jean-Luc? I don't know if I am."[/color] As if sensing her discomfort, Jean-Luc began to jump into her lap in an attempt to comfort her, his weight nearly dropping her. She scratched him some more before standing. [color=A2797E]"At least I have you."[/color] The Haunted Tree was not something she intended to ever visit. The fact the portal to the Otherworld had been there this whole time was both worrying and fortuitous. She had packed what she could on her person, wondering just what they would be facing. Were the others as scared as she was. If their faces were to be believed as she neared the tree, it didn't seem so. She put on a brave face, clutching Jean-Luc's leash. [color=A2797E]"Great day for dimensional travel, I guess."[/color] She looked around at the others. She would not be the leader this time around, despite what Chase thought. [color=A2797E]"Anything to note before we go in?"[/color] Though a few people knew her mother would be there, not everyone did. She would tell them when the time came. She was still reeling from it herself.

She had only really spoken to a few of them. Hell, she hadn't even gotten to know her roommate much. The party was a chance to relax before they went off on some crazy adventure. She knew it meant a lot to the Excelsior team to go, and the second team, the B-team, as it were, was going to assist, but it didn't really hold much for them. Still, it beat classes. She still felt uncertain about her aunts and uncles not knowing where she would be. She didn't know how time would work there and if they would notice she was gone. She had fallen asleep pretty quickly when she got back to her room. She sang a lot, much to the dismay of the others (but if you were going to sing Happy Birthday, you were going to go all out!). Chase and his boyfriend had gotten in after her, and she saw them when she woke up. She had gotten to talk to Chase, asking him to please not punch further holes in their wall and to at least clean up after himself. She had a feeling it all went in one ear and out the other. She didn't know what to pack, but she remembered some of her training from her aunts and uncles when it came to survival. Pack light, but pack essentials. The fairy circle being near the Haunted Tree, the one Danni went on and on about, was quite the find for them. Millicent strode up to the others. [color=efcde8]"Uh everyone cool?"[/color] she asked, noting Danni. [color=efcde8]"Think we'll be in and out in this time even if it takes days over there? Just wondering if the school is going to miss us. I don't imagine skipping first day of classes goes over well, even if it means saving one of their own."[/color] [hider=Millicent's Possessions] [list][*]Millicent's Song Book [*]One Water Bottle [*]Two Protein Bars [*]Hand Lotion (Sparkling Lemonade) [*]Sunscreen [*]Vanilla Chapstick [*]Charm Bracelet (Wearing) [*]Strawberry Bubblegum [*]Mints [*]Pink Sunglasses [*]Pack of Granola[/list][/hider]
