What a time to be alive, am I right? - Amaryllis (cw)

Amaryllis knew Karmena needed her space, but she wanted to run after her. Talk some sense in to that thick skull of hers, yet she felt out of place. Scrunching her face as she looked down, Vanya said she was already being bossy, but Amaryllis knew better than anyone how it felt to be in a battle with ones self. Vanya said she would check on Karmena when the vampire was cooled off a bit – maybe that was for the best. Even though Karmena was good at hiding her feelings, it didn’t really fool her friends. Although Amaryllis was painfully oblivious to the fact that Karmena had any sort of feelings for her, other than friendly of course.

On the phone Leviticus barely got to speak much at the phone, but he quickly called Alison, informing her of everything. Or well as much as they knew. They would soon arrived at the castle.

When Vanya touched her, Amaryllis flinched and felt her body tremble. Physical contact seemed painful, and she didn’t want to seem rude, so she carefully pushed herself away from Vanya. It was weird. Normally she would love it when Vanya even just graced her skin, but right now she could only feel pain. ”I’m sorry – I just …” she said quietly as she looked away in shame. What she had gone through, the feeling of other people invading her body like that, made it hard for her to assosiate touch with something pleasant. ”I’d like to hear that story,” she said with an apologetic smile.

She got out of the castle and pressed herself against the tall walls of the exterior, looking up at the sky as her face softened to show her true emotions. Her eyes teared up and she allowed herself to have a few tears roll down her cheeks, before she noticed a guard looking at her. She inhaled sharply and dried her cheeks with the back of her hands, smearing the blood on her face as the wetness of her tears mixed with the dried up blood. "Get fucking lost, jackass," she told the guard as she pushed herself off the wall and suddenly froze. It was like when she was letting her emotions get to her, she wasnt expecting another emotion to surface along with it. A sudden fury just went through her, enough for her to clench her fist and ram it against the wall, a sensation of pain shot through her arm as the wall gave into the pressure along with the bones in her hand, shattering the wall and her knuckles. She just stared at the hole and let her hand fall down, blood dripping onto the ground below her from a big gash in her hand. She exhaled shakingly and shook her head, she had to regain her control, but it was hard, "It's your fault... Your fault...." - "YOUR FAULT YOUR FAULT YOUR FAULT!" her mind kept repeating it over and over and it was making her insane. She grabbed her head and screamed in frustration, it got a guard's attention, he walked to her but he didnt reach out for her, "Miss?" he asked. She just turned to him and stared at him without replying. Her leg and hand was throbbing with pain, fuelling the burning anger that only seemed to slowly consume her from the inside the more it burned.

Kyle observed the girls, Vanya being so comforting to Amaryllis brought at least some peace to his troubled mind. He stepped a bit back, giving them the space they needed to be just the two of them. He wrapped his arm around Abigal as she grabbed his arm and kissed her temple gently. He sighed deeply and shook his head, "We cant have this happen to our daughter's friend," he whispered quietly to Abigal as Vanya was telling her story, making sure it was low enough for Abigal to barely hear it, he didnt want any of the enhanced senses from the two girls, picking up on his word. He had figured out that Vanya was his daughter some time ago, but he had decided to let it be her secret, playing the man who didnt know his daughter, till she decided to tell him. His senses picked up a barely vague scream, and he turned his head slightly to the direction, not sure if it was Karmena or not, looking back at the girls to see if they had heard - They probably hadnt, he barely heard it only because he was so close to the door. He looked at Abigal with sad eyes, "And whoever Amary's parents may be, they'd be heartbroken to see her like this," he then said as he pressed Abigal closer, clearly needing the comfort of her closeness to soothe the distress he was feeling.

Amaryllis didn’t really know what to say, but soon she could hear a female voice outside the door, as well as the sound of feet being pushed to the side against the floor. The door opened and her green eyes shot up to face her parents. Even though they were from the past, they were still her parents, just without the memory of her. She could her mothers whisper as clear as day, and saw the daggert that was clenched in her mothers hand – a tool she barely used at times, exept on rare occations. This time could be classified as rare, because it sure as hell wasn’t normal for a teenage girl to travel back to a time before she was born to meet her parents. Let alone get abducted and totured. Amaryllis still didn’t know how long she had been gone, seeing as the room had taken away her sensibility towards time. She hoped it had been no more than a week, however it could have been shorter or longer. Slowly she swallowed as she looked from her mother to her father.

Leviticus had barely any say in anything that Alison was doing, but like the loyal fiancée he was, ofcourse he followed her. It was different to see her react like this, but Alison had yet to explain what had happened. He had simply told her about a girl, and soon the red haired woman was on a mission to get to her as fast as it was possible. It wasn’t until he saw the girl on the floor, looking up with those similar green eyes, that it clicked for him. He smiled calmly to the other girl as she left the room, and signed a ’thank you’ with his lips. Then he sat down on the floor in front of the girl. *Who’s that?* Freddie barged into his mind all of a sudden. Like he had been awoken by some internal instinct. *Angels aren’t the brigthest, I see,* Elliot sighed and Leviticus shook his head to make them stop.

”Tell Freddie it’s OK, and tell Elliot to just shut up already,” Amaryllis mumbled looking at her father. She knew about the two people he shared his body with, because when she was growing up she had a hard time understanding her split innerself. Her father was good at explaining that feeling all hybrids or trybrids had from the moment they where born. Her green eyes now looked to Alison, but looked down shortly – as if she was expecting her mother to scream her lungs out. Yell at her for being worried, but she didn’t hear any angry voice. ”His name was Ramsay, the … whatever he was, that did it all. He had a man with him – called Wade or dog,” she mumbled. Of course she knew what he was, she had tasted his blood and it was clearly a demon. However she had a hard time wrapping her mind around it all. She looked at her arms, completely soaked in dried blood – some hers, some Ramsays and some that little girl. The little girl that she had felt hunger for. She bit her lip as she felt tears press on, but she quickly dried them away, smearing the blood on her face because of the tears.

Leviticus was a bit surprised by the fact that the young girl knew about his inner selves. He didn’t know what he was most surprised by; the fact that she could pronounce and tell their names accurately, or the fact that she knew just what to tell them. He couldn’t help but have a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes still looking worried at the young girl. *I like her,* said Freddie. *She’s feisty, gotta give it to her,* said Elliot. Leviticus felt it a bit weird that for once Elliot and Freddie was agreeing on something. Maybe it was because they felt this instinct as strong as him towards the girl. He wanted to hold her in his arms and take away her pain, but that would barely help anything. The girl in front of him was clearly not in a state to be touched too much. From what he had understood the girl had been through a lot, but what exactly was not known for him.

Amaryllis tried getting to her feet, leaning against the bed as she made it to her feet. Her clothes was ragged at this point, leaving a clear mark of where she had transformed. ”M-Ali … Don’t you think it would be good to lay off the daggert?” she said looking at her mother. She could see her mother’s eyes were more out of the ordinary than usual, and clearly affected by the magic as a whole.

As Vanya faced her, it was like something switched in her, the anger disappearing into thin aur, leaving her with the empty void that seemed to be her heart. She could have pushed Vanya away, she normally would, as she usually did when bad things occurred. But this wasnt just bad, it was monstrous, unspeakable. Karmena lifted her hand and put it over Vanya’s, as she gently squeezed it, as cold as Karmena seemed, she did need the comfort - Even if she didnt give that impression. She looked at Vanya and then shook her head, “Talking wont change what happened.” she said rather coldly, but Vanya would know it wasnt pointed towards her, it was just the way Karmena was. She turned her eyes up the castle walls and didnt let go of Vanya. “You guys came back, older and... broken. Both of you. You were different, like someone had crushed your soul to nothing, but Amary.... she was just a shell, not even you could reach her. Both of your parents heartbroken and torn apart by the sight of you. So I came back, hoping I could stop it. And I was still too late to save her,” she clenched her teeth and wanted to punch something, rather someone. She couldnt remove the image of Ramsay’s sadistic smile with his bloody teeth as he ordered Wade to kill her. She shook the image out of her mind and looked back at her friend, “I am glad to see that he didnt get you too. That means I have at least done something useful,” she then said, pulling her hand free from Vanya’s grasp as she wrapped her arms around her and held her close. Karmena never hugged, she hated the invasion of private space, but this time she needed it. She put her chin on Vanya’s head and exhaled deeply as she closed her eyes.
She exhaled quietly as she let Vanya go before she turned her eyes to the doors again, "I'm going in," she said rather calmly, clearly not up for discussing it as she went in and back into the room, quite silently as she was a vampire, the only thing giving her away, being small crunches in her shattered leg. She looked at Amaryllis and her parents before she looked away, suddenly she didnt feel as strong as she usually would. She bit down on her lip before she looked back at her parents, she had to go past her own emotions to tell them, "I tried to stop it, but I couldnt stop all of it," she then said, letting them know she was in the room too. Her tone and face was completely emotionless, as if she was cold about what has happened, the dark eyes switching between the parents. Amary would be able to see the sadness in her eyes, Leviticus and Alison from the future would have too, but not the ones from the past. "Dont let her relive the nightmare. Her mind is broken," she then said in the same cold emotionless tone, knowing that it probably wasnt wise to tell a parent, especially a worried one, what to do, but she felt that it was necessary. She knew what had happened anyway, they didnt even have to ask their daughter right away.

Kyle wasnt really sure what to do when Alison arrived. They were moved out of the way before they could say anything, which was probably for the best. He turned his eyes to Abigal, who was clearly getting caught up in the feeling of being useless. He carefully grabbed her face with both of his hands and looked her in the eyes, "We'll figure this out, Abigal. We'll find the bastard and make him pay for what he did," he assured her with a very serious tone. His thumb gently caressed her cheek, as his eyes shifted between her's - Making sure she understood that he meant it. "I dont want to raise our child in a world where little girls are abducted and tortured. So we have to make sure that it isnt so," he then said as he kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms around her. He turned his eyes a bit back, as his senses picked up a vague crunching behind him, catching Karmena's scent as she passed them into the room. He shook his head and buried it on top of Abigal's head, in her hair as he sighed like he gave up, "We have to find out who the vampire's parents are. Just like Amary's, they need to know what has happened," he then said, but something in him had a hunch that it wouldnt be that easy. The cold exterior clearly told him that she couldnt have grown up in a loving home - Or maybe it was just a vampire teenage thing. He ran his hand down Abigal's back and carefully listened to what was happening in the room.

”Don’t talk like I’m not in the fucking room,” she snarled at them all, even though she saw the sadness in her friends eyes. She knew she looked like shit, and her mind was torn to pieces, but she could still hear them. Still understand them all. Her mind was once again playing tricks on her, she was scared she might wake up on the white floor again. Alone. Terribly alone. She leaned against the bedframe, ignoring how her mother reached for her. She could barely stand the thought of touching anyone right now. Was it fear? Draining her, making her afraid what she could do if she got upset? Her body shaking as she tried to hide her emotions, though Vanya wasn’t there to sense it. She wanted to do something that didn’t seem to hurt everyone. Her mothers question just made her nod, as there was no point in saying no to that woman. ”I’d like a bath, and maybe a truckload of food too,” she said trying to walk as normally as she could over to Karmena.

Leviticus took the daggert, and placed it safely in his belt, keeping it as safe as possible. He knew what the daggert meant, not only for Alison’s powers, but also her life. In a way, this should be an honour, being able to carry his lovedones life in his hands, but it was also a burden. He knew what the daggert meant, but it was hard to believe that this small weapon could cause so much distruction. Calmly he walked over to Kyle and Abigal. ”I trust that the girls will be safe here – To be honest I want to get that guy as well, but right now w eshould focus on these girls, and make sure they are taken care of,”  Leviticus said calmly, not really bothering with asking questions. However silly he could be at times, he was a serious guy when it came to other’s safety. ”Ramsay is known for his carelessness, he picks and chooses as he likes, but seeing as he’s working close to Rayna – there might be something more lurking in the future,” he said weighing every word as he spoke.

”Karm,” Amaryllis whispered beneath her breath. She didn’t want the rest of the room to hear them. Besides, she knew Karmena would punch her if she even dared speaking about feelings around others. ”You are hurting, so maybe lay down – shit I don’t know what to say,” she mumbled and put her palm against her face. Why couldn’t she just say beat it through Karmena’s skull that she was grateful for what she had done for her? Fuck. She was glad her dad from her time didn’t hear her swear this much, but it was as if everytime she swore, Leviticus made a strange face. As if he knew deep down that he wanted to scold her.

She looked worried back at Vanya before she had gone in. She knew that this was affecting her too. She knew that her coming here to be the rescue, would make Vanya feel quite useless in her efforts to find Amary. She had stopped in the door, grabbing the frame to shift the pressure off her bad leg as she looked at Vanya, "If you begin to regret, you’ll dull your future decisions and let others make your choices for you. All that’s left for you then is to fail. Nobody can foretell the outcome.... Not even me or you, Vanya," she told her, words that would be explained further later, but she thought that Vanya needed to hear it. Maybe they all did. But Karmena couldnt quite believe them, not yet.

As Alison told her that it wasnt her fault, she couldnt quite believe it. Surely it couldnt be ONLY her fault, but had the object worked as planned, this probably wouldnt have gotten as bad as it did. She would always remember that. But a little voice in her head broke through for just a bit, filling the rest of the short speech that Karmena had given Vanya outside, it was future Kyle who had talked to her about her struggle with the need to save everyone, "You cant save everyone. And you cant let the regret of not saving them, or saving them in time, get to you. If you begin to regret, you’ll dull your future decisions and let others make your choices for you. All that’s left for you then is to fail. Nobody can foretell the outcome. Each decision you make holds meaning only by affecting your next decision.” and he may not had thought that it would stick to her, but it did. She glanced back at the door where he was on the other side. These people who really had no other connection to her, than being her friends parents, yet they had shown her that care and love wasnt just reserved for those of their blood.
Karmena widened her eyes as Amaryllis approached her, not really sure what was about to happen. It came as a surprise that when she could seek the comfort of her parents, she'd still make sure her friends were okay. She clenched her teeth hard, as some part of her wanted to yell at her for being so selfless, but another was grateful for her caring. She looked away as Amary told her to think about her own wounds, before she looked back down at Amary and then nodded. Her eyes were smiling as she realized something she was never going to say out loud, even so a small smile managed to be formed on her lips as she looked away, clearly not very used to smile as Amary knew. "Thank you," she whispered softly and just as quietly for only the two of them to hear, before she chuckled lightly. It was good to see that he hadnt gotten to her completely. Karmena was thankful, thinking that someone had heard her silent prayers for her friends.
She then turned her head around as the smile disappeared, knowing Vanya was still out there. Her eyes locked with Kyle's and she nodded him in the direction she would be.

He looked at Abigal as she seemed to know who it was who had done it. He wasnt going to ask her about it, not now - Maybe later when things had cooled down a bit. He was relieved to hear that Karmena's mother knew, but a worry also spread in him, as the mother hadnt shown up yet. He made a worried expression as he then turned his eyes to Abigal, "Why isnt she coming?" he then asked, puzzled to thinking why she wouldnt have been storming down here the instant she heard her daughter had been in danger. Before he could ask further, footsteps approached them.
Kyle looked over at Leviticus as he walked over to them, exhaling deeply as he said the girls would be safe here. Kyle nodded, as he was clearly thinking the same. "They should stay here where there's protection," he said like he was in charge of the place. He knew that he couldnt just make the decision, so his eyes turned to Abigal's, not that he doubted that she would say yes, he was pretty sure she wanted them to stay as safe as possible after what had happened. Vanya hadnt been born yet, but her future self was here, and it was important to make sure nothing happened to her.
Ramsay. Kyle had never heard the name before, but after what he had seen from the girls, he'd doubt that the man was anything else than a monster. He sighed and rubbed his temples, "Umbrella.... Vanya mentioned them too... What does Umbrella want with a couple of teenage girls?" he then asked in utter confusion as he almost yanked his own hands off his face in frustration. "None of this makes sense..." he whispered to himself, only feeling more concerned, and even more useless.
His eyes caught Karmena, as she nodded him towards the outside. Without asking questions, he just walked, till he got outside and looked around. "Vanya?" he called in worry.

Amaryllis gave Karmena a slight smile and honestly wanted to reach out and place a hand on her friend’s arm. However just the thought of touching someone right now made her stomach turn. ”Don’t go soft on me now, Karm,” she whispered and looked away. It was strange how that slight smile from Karmena made her warm inside. Her hand reached out for Karmena, but she let her hand drop shaking her head silently. She couldn’t do it. Not yet anyways. As Abigal came over and pointed at them Amaryllis turned her head to the familiar face. In their time she had known Abigal all her life, almost like an aunt or a second mother. She knew they couldn’t refuse what the princess ordered them to take a bath. A short nod and she followed Abigal to one of the chambers bathtubs were being filled with water. Amaryllis walked closer to the sound of water and took of her jacket, that was more or less in pieces by now. She had really loved that jacket, and she sighed as she tossed it in one of the trashcans. That’s when she has a chance to look herself in the mirror, and the sight just made her stare. Her body was covered in blood, her hair stuck to her sides and that was not even mentioning the fabric that her skin had healed around. Shit. She would have to jank that out.

Her hands shook as she grabbed hold of the fabric and one quick jank. She bit her lip as to not scream, but that just drew blood. When the fabric was no longer in her, she could remove the clothes just fine. Her body ached, but who could blame it for hurting like hell right now? She turned on the fauset watching the water go down the drain, and she put her hand under it. Red mixed with the clear water. ”Stupid,” she mumbled to herself as she washed the blood off her hands in the sink. Her hands began to shake, as she tried to focus on what she were doing. Why was she having such a hard time trying to focus on this? Was it because she could still hear the little girl scream, still see her big doe eyes? Still feel her bodyparts inside her? She rolled her neck and it made a few snapping sounds. Could she maybe use her power on herself? Get rid of that face, that feeling? She bit her lip as she looked up into the mirror and then shook her head. No. She had to face what had happened.

Leviticus was glad to see that Abigal and Kyle were going about things quite calm. But now came time to focus a bit on Alison. He walked over to her and put his arms around her from behind. He kissed her softly on her red fire hair and sighed quietly. ”Are you alright?” he whispered calmly. He knew the answer was no, but he didn’t really know what else to say. He had a lot on his mind; Umbrella, Rayna, Legends of Gaia, soon becoming a father, a wedding to plan. Hell he was going a bit crazy himself, and now with these three girls on top of all of it. Caringly he turned her around to face him. ”I don’t want to ask to many questions about these girls, because I got a feeling I know who they are – you don’t need to say anything, just know that I get who the green eyed one is,” he said caressing her cheek. He had been very confused coming to the castle, hell it had been a few months since he last spoke to any of the royal family members. He had gotten the invitation to the birthday party, but he was not one for big events like that.

Amaryllis sat in the tub for a bit, just watching her body soak in the soap after she had rinsed off all of the blood. She took a look at her nails, scrunching her face thinking of how they could turn into claws if she got out of control. Slowly she lowered her under the water surface and held her breath trying to relax. Get her mind off of it all. After her bath she saw that a fresh pair of clothes was layed out for her, but clearly it was not her usual style. It looked like something Abigal would wear. She stood a bit in the room with the towel around her looking at the dress. The dress was very feminine, but she managed to wear it. Barefoot she snook out into the hallway grabbing her head with her hand as she tried to focus. ”Karm…? Van…?” she called, not sure if they were even near her at all.

”You want to go to the kitchen with me?” Leviticus asked Alison carefully. He would understand if she wanted some peace and quiet, but he really didn’t want to leave her alone at this point. Besides, he had the daggert, so she would probably be more inclined to stay close to it. No matter the answer, Leviticus would soon move to the kitchen, asking for a buffet of meals for the girls. None of them really knew what they liked, but soon one of the dining rooms were lined up with food.

Kyle was relieved to hear that it was a possibility to keep them safe here. Somehow he felt that he was obligated to care for not only Vanya, but the other two girls as well, like it would mean something important in the future. He gave Abigal an assuring squeeze before he went out to Vanya.

She turned her eyes back to Amary as she asked her not to go soft on her. She noticed how she had looked away, but she wasnt sure what it meant. Either way, Amary was right in a way, she couldnt let herself go soft, it wasnt the right time for this - Her parents were right next to them, and Amary had been through the worst. She looked at Amaryllis' hand as she was shortly reaching out for her, but the hand fell back in place, it was understandable. Karmena looked her in the eyes and shook her head, "It's okay," she said in a rather neutral tone but there was some softness to it, she wanted her to know that it was okay to not be ready for physical contact.
Karmena turned her face to Abigal, and a sign of relief was in her eyes as Abigal ordered them to get cleaned up. It almost looked like Abigal had promised her the world, as she looked at her bloodied hands and then at Abigal, "Thank god," she simply replied as she was ready to get all this blood off her. She went and had a shower that finally gave her a chance to get intact with her feelings again, gaining the control she was losing. She embraced the water with a big smile, one she could only have when things were perfectly clean. She wrapped a towel over her head as she looked at the clothes that had been laid out, she scoffed when she saw that there was a dress among the choices. She looked at her own clothes, which were dirty beyond comprehension, at least the shirt was. She grabbed some bandage that had been laid out and started wrapping it around her leg, she had taken care of many other wounds, so she knew exactly how to bind it. When it was done, she carefully got up and applied a little pressure on her leg to see if it was helping. It was still throbbing with pain, but the bandage and the vampire blood she had consumed helped with the worst of it. She just picked up a long sleeved white turtleneck that she pulled over her head and put on her own jeans, as they hadnt got any dirt on them.
She stepped out into the hallway, trying to sense where people where, by the sound of it, most of them where in the kitchen, but she was more interested in knowing where Amary and Vanya were.

Kyle widened his eyes at the sight of watching Vanya fall. His fatherly senses got triggered instantly and he just ran to her as he grabbed her arms and pulled her into his arms, holding her close, not really caring if she found out that he knew about her. What really mattered was her knowing that he was here and he would protect her at any cost. He listened to her explanation and calmly caressed her back, leaning down to kiss the top of her head, "It's alright, sweetheart. It's a lot to take in.. I understand," he assured her as he held her tight.
He exhaled deeply and closed his eyes for a second, it tore his heart apart to even think about how she was feeling in this moment. "Things will calm down when they've gotten cleaned up and a bite of food. I'm sure of it," he then said as he looked down at her and put a hand on her cheek, running his thumb along her cheek. He knew that the beast was a lot to deal with, it must had been clawing at her ever since she realized her friends were here. He looked into her eyes, "I know the beast is telling you to let go. Now just isnt the right time. I'm not saying you have to repress it, you dont have to if you dont want to. But letting go while you're under all this stress.." he sighed and kissed her forehead, "You wouldnt want that. Take control, make sure the beast only gets to sing at your command," he looked deep into her eyes, his eyes turning a bright yellow for a bit as his beast was talking to hers, hoping it would hear it.
"Your parents would be very proud of you, Vanya. You're so storng," he then said with a smile, knowing he was refering to Abigal and him, but if she needed to think that he didnt know, then he'd gladly pretend, just for a little while.
So he just sat there, making sure she was calm, even if just a little bit. He caressed her back as he looked down at her, "Do you want to go inside? We dont have to yet, if you're not ready," he then asked, letting her know that they only had to go when she felt ready to.

Karmena stood there for quite a while, before her senses picked up on Amaryllis' calling. She quickly started walking, but it was a bit strained as her leg hurt with every step she took. She turned a corner and there Amary was. She stopped like she froze for a second, seeing Amary in a dress, especially a pretty one was something she hadnt seen before. She gulped silently to herself as she had put a hand on the wall next to her, just staring at Amary. After a while she shook her head and walked over to her friend, "Do we have to act like we dont know where the kitchen is... Or?" she asked in a wonder as she turned her eyes around. They had roamed these halls so often in their own time. Could they do that in the past too?

Leviticus lust held Alison in his arms as she calmed down a bit. Her words confirmed what he had imagined she would say, yet it was still a tough one to swallow. She was usually her happy self, or was crazy a better word? To be honest, after her pregnancy had kicked in, she was controlled by her hormones alot – he got a feeling she would hit him just for thinking that, but it was true. She wasn’t in control, and he felt a bit guilty about it. However the sentence ’sorry for getting you pregnant’ was not really sounding well with him. Another part of the problem was the fact that Tidus was starting to act pregnant around her too – as if one pregnant fairy wasn’t enough, he had to have a pseudo-pregnant banshee in the house from time to time. He let out a small sigh and leaned down, placing his lips against hers. Then they moved to the kitchen and would afterwards join with the others in the diningroom.

Dresses was a weird thing. Of course Amaryllis had worn dresses before, but they were always more grunge-ish or maybe even a bit alternative. However this dress was really girly and flew around her legs as she walked. She saw Karmena leaning against the wall, just staring at her. Amaryllis looked down herself, to see if she had missed a spot in her bath. She looked clean, so a bit confused she looked up and her friend again. Before she could ask what Karmena was staring at, the vampire spoke. Amaryllis shrugged, not really knowing what to answer. ”I don’t need a map of the castle to follow the scent of food,” she said, trying to smile, but it came out more like a pained expression. That’s when she saw Vanya come running at them, and she stepped to the side just in time for her friend not to hit her. ”Slow down speedy, you might run us over some day,” Amaryllis said. She hated how she sounded right now. Like a stupid robot. Her emotions were a mess, and not even to mention. She was wearing this stupid dress. She wanted to get out of the castle and find some real clothes, but she also felt her stomach rumble. Amaryllis’ ability made it so she didn’t have to eat, but she could still feel hunger. Besides when she loved food, she didn’t turn it down, just because she didn’t have to eat, didn’t mean she couldn’t enjoy it.

”I’m just glad I didn’t have to sing through it …” she mumbled as she thought about what had happened. Fear rushed over her, but she shook and grabbed her head with her two hands. This was going to take some time to adjust to. Everytime she closed her eyes she could still feel everything. Still see everything that had happened. ”Let’s get something to eat, huh? Then later we could sneak up to our tower?” she said trying to stay calm. To be honest, the tower wasn’t theirs, but in their time, the tower was like their secret meeting spot. It hadn’t been used for years in their time, but was it in use now? She didn’t know, but that tower was still theirs in some way. A place where they could escape their parents while snacking on things the took from the kitchen. She then moved towards the diningroomm her senses picking up the smell of different dishes. She opened the door with a shaky hand, but pushed through to open it completely.
