My mind is still stuck in Tess' and as her past unfolds, my mind unravels. My past begins to spill out. The time I kissed a girl in seventh grade and she died. The time I spilt milk on the kitchen floor of the Kremlin and it accidentally exploded when I used faery magic to try and clean it up.
I come out and stretch. "Ergh, what's with the screaming and probably fetal positions?" I say smirking.
I sigh, wondering why no-one is talking to me. I walk past the deck past Alek, and walk into my cabin. I turn around and close the door, then go to my bed and fall asleep. (goodnight. And where are y'all?)
I nod slowly, staying on deck, keeping our course. I start seeing orange, and hold my head. "Not now." I say, subduing it. For now.
I wake, eyes wide from reliving the past of the scar and I look around, realizing I'm partially safe in my cabin.
I wake up. I've been sleeping for hours and it's still night? I get off my bed and stretch. After walking across the deck I see Smighter still sitting by the wheel. I walk toward Tess's door, wondering if she's recovered. I knock on the door, "Tess, you in here?"
I walk in and frown. "I thought I felt something there by the front of the room... Well, have you noticed that everyone is sleeping a lot (no-one's active )?"
(I am, just steering the ship.) I hear Maelstrom enter Tess's room and keep my ears put for any irregular noises. I keep us in the right directions to where they would be.
I hear Smighter stirring from his sleep. "See you soon," I say to Tess as I walk up to Smighter. "Where is Camo?"
I come up silently behind you and punch you in your kidney. "That." I say, "is for not listening to me." I smirk.
I frown, seeing him walk out and I pay back down into the bed, covering my marked wrist thoughtfully.
I lock the wheel into place. "Make sure it stays like that." I tell LoneStar and maelstrom, kicking on Tess's door.
