Wish I could hideaway

"Why... why was..."

"What does this mean?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 9:38 pm

"I... I don't know..." she mumbles, something feeling familiar but she can't place it.

Meanwhile Sam would remember some fragments. That panicked Nailah is a memory, one that vividly crashes down on her now. And she remembers that panicked look in the other woman's eyes only making her realize what she's done and adding to the guilt about... about... The miniature Sam almost charges at the closet door, throwing herself against it and slamming it shut.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 9:43 pm

"N-no. You can't... you can't just leave me with part of this... you can't just leave me with a wound I don't know the reason for..."

She gritted her teeth and tried to reach up to open the closet again.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 9:55 pm

The small Sam backs off a bit when Sam reaches for the closet and pries it open but there's nothing else in there. Just a little more blood.

Meanwhile Nailah's fear has crawled out of her purse and made it's way up Nailah's clothes and as they are staring into Sam's head she pulls herself up on Nailah's ear and crawls inside.

"I... I remember that. Something happened. S-something bad. We did something real bad..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 9:59 pm

"T-together... we... we did it together..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:07 pm

"No... But I let it happen..." she mumbles, not quite having meant to say that out loud.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:08 pm

"...oh," was all she said, any solace of shared guilt suddenly stripped away again.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:15 pm

"I didn't mean... I..." she says, not quite sure what she means. "I m-mean I was there..." Then she suddenly freezes. Had those been footsteps outside the door?

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:16 pm

Samantha bit her lip, trying to quiet herself, though she didn't feel quite suited to it with the memories that had flooded back.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:21 pm

A couple slow, heavy footsteps pass the door but then keep going and disappear and Nailah lets out a slow, shuddering breath.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:23 pm

"They... they can't get in here... right?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:26 pm

"I th-think so. I hope so..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:29 pm

"Which... which means you're just stuck in here..."

"...w-with me."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:35 pm

At that Nailah pulls the key from Sam's neck, closing her head, because there's a shadow that's fallen over the miniature Nailah that was still cowering in the corner.

"N-no..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:37 pm

"It's... it's true, isn't it? You may have watched but..."

"...I'm the one that did it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:40 pm

"I-I think so..." she nods weakly, not looking at Sam.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:41 pm

"And that's... that's what I'll have to live with... even if I still don't remember it all..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:44 pm

"I'm sorry..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:46 pm

"It... it can't be helped," she said, rubbing her hand.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:51 pm

Nailah just sits next to Sam, staring at the floor for a bit. Then she reaches out a bit hesitatingly and gives Sam a hug.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:53 pm

At first she stiffened at the contact, but finally she just broke down and sobbed into Nailah's shoulder.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 11:00 pm

Nailah just holds her. It's the least she can do after Sam's done the same for her, didn't she?

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 2:15 pm

"Maybe you would have been better off not knowing me," she mumbled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 5:34 pm

"You don't know that..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:13 pm

"I can't... I can't have..."

"...you don't do that, Miss Weaver..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:21 pm

"Do you remember anything else about that?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:43 pm

"Just... a shadow."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 9:48 pm

"Me neither... You don't think..." she says, glancing at the bathroom door.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 10:14 pm

"I don't know if it involves... I mean, how could it?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sat Dec 01, 2012 10:19 pm

"His parents..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 12:36 am

"But... why would I...?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 8:19 am

"I don't know... I'm not saying you did..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 2:22 pm

"Suppose I don't know... why I'd do it at all..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 2:41 pm

"Exactly. We just... don't know everything."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 5:51 pm

"I guess... there's nothing left that he might see."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 5:55 pm

She nods. "I'm sorry..."

She gets up and knocks on the bathroom door. "You... you can come out again. I think we're done..."

by **Steve Jones** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 6:00 pm

Steve opened the door and stepped out.

"Did you... figure anything out?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 6:16 pm

"Nothing that'd help us..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 6:32 pm

"...aye," she said sadly.

by **Steve Jones** » Sun Dec 02, 2012 7:35 pm

"Maybe we'll have better luck with my head."
