[fieldbox="Morri ‘Lil’ Skopos, gray, dashed, 10"]
-> Kat
~>> All the Sneakies
After Kat's crying spell, Morri became internally exhausted. It was a rough day, Kat's face was a bit puffy from crying, and yet the girl still looked stunning, her purple eyes producing some rather unique tears. She seemed to appreciate and support the idea of them sneaking back in, in which Morri appreciated it all the same, but opposed the idea. The Monitors (Prefects) would certainly be patrolling the halls with increased security, and them getting past 24 Monitors was going to be tough. A part of Morri wished they would just go to sleep in their rooms and wake up for NEWT exams tomorrow, but Morri saw the look on DJ's face. They boy was stubborn. This case was one of the few times she actually liked it, a light smile caught her face.
Kat drunk the Peace serum and teased Kat, saying it tasted like dirt and blew in her face. Morri chuckles, but then zones out thinking about all her emotions of today, like a mind reader Kat scoots up and slides herself behind Morri, as she feels a head of hair press down on her shoulder. Kat knew what she was feeling. All the hurt, the guilt, the loss. But that they have each other, and for seemingly the first time, they have others too. Morri was friends with a ton of people at IV, but to call someone a best friend and close mate? That was only reserved to Kat. Morri didn't allow herself to let people in and Kat knew the reason why. Kat slides back into her bed and rests her head on the pillow, finally giving Morri some peace. She looks over at Kat.
"You can always tell me anything Katty. You know that. Get some rest. Night, I love you."
Morri then drags herself to her bed, the cup of peace potion on the stand. She approaches a silver tray with a wand on it. Her wand. She had forgotten about it all day today, and upon seeing it she felt sick. She placed the tray off the bed and onto the floor, she didn't...couldn't even look at it. She slides into the covers and buries her head in the pillows. She turned towards the door and looked at it, a gleam of moonlight bouncing off. And then she turned to the night sky with lost eyes. What did Ria and the others see? What did they feel? Her eyes get heavy as she starts to drift, faintly hearing Kat toss and turn. She didn't know if she was going to awaken with everyone snuck in, all she could do was focus on the bit of peace she had left....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A seemingly endless void of fire. Miles upon miles of flames. There was no one else there. Only Morri. She alone stood in the fire, and upon achieving lucid awareness, she jumps and screams at the fire, but it did not burn her. She waved her hands in the fire, and experienced no pain. She knew it was a dream, but never in her 16 years has it ever been so clear...so real. She walks along the fire, calling out to anyone. Anything. Her voice echoes infinite times over. She walks as her school robes start to catch on fire, again no pain being done to her. Her robes disintegrate and she is naked now walking in the fire, that felt more like pressured air at this point. She looks down at her hands, balling them into fists.
"Is this real..."
Morri.
A voice called out to her mind. She turned in every direction searching for it.
Morri.
She hyperfocused on one direction, walking adamant towards it as her body begin to sweat aggressively. The path of fire seemed to bend to her will, as she walked for what seemed like an eternity. And upon the end of eternity's destination. A figure. It stood tall, bold, a robed or dark figure Morri couldn't quite make out...who was he...or it? A shroud of darkness covered the head area. Morri approached, as a view of Earth was repeatedly being destroyed over and over again in a time loop. Morri's voice echoes to infinity.
"Who are you...?"
You're not ready yet.
"What? What is this? What does this mean?"
You are not ready for what comes. In time...
Morri had her wits about her, as clear as if she was in the real world, everything was so vivid and robust. She stepped towards the figure, fists balled.
"...Did you kill Ria?"
See.
At that instant, a flash overcame Morri. Her entire view was obstructed by flashes of images now. A man with grey hair and dark robes falling into the deep mist of Mt. Greylock, followed by a booming thunder sound that resembles a turbine churning, The sky rumbling with clouds moving rapidly as they turn dark, and finally... it was of herself. She was in a dark area, everything was so dim... and her eyes, they were pitch black. Morri screams as the rush of images overload her brain.

[sleep]
In the quiet of night, Morri sleeps in her bed in the infirmary. The starts well lit and the moonlight shining through. But suddenly, her body began to become warm. Too warm. Her skin becomes glazed with perspiration, as her hair starts to become drenched. Rather quickly beads of sweat begin to spread all over her body, streaming down her skin and dampening the sheets. Drips of sweat begin to drop from her finger tips. Her breathing was as calm and peaceful as can be, but her eyes. They were darting back and forth as they were still closed. She begin to tremble slightly, as her body temperature burns through whatever potions and composure she's had all day. And for a split second, the eyes stopped. She was at calm once more.
And then a deep gasp.
Morri shoots up from her sleep, the first two seconds not knowing where she was nor who was around her. She wasn't sure if her friends has snuck back in at this point, but she knew it was well into the middle of the night. Without hesitation Morri leaps from her bed like a werewolf and zips into the infirmary bathroom, practically lunging at the mirror and seemingly clawing at the skin around her eyes to make sure they weren't pitch black. Staring back at her were her normal icey eyes, though a bit dilated. She sighed in relief as she then felt damp all over. She looked down at herself to see her clothes were drenched in sweat. And then the wave of what happened finally hit her. She began to hold her head with a grimace on her face.
"What the hell. What the hell....what the hell...what the hell..."
Realizing the fear and panic she'd probably incite, she shut the bathroom door and locked it, before returning a calm tone and demeanor.
"I'm okay. Promise. I.. I just uh, had a bad dream."
Bullshit. Dreams don't make people sweat profusely and feel like they lived through an apocalypse. Morri slides down the wall and wraps herself up in the fetal position, trying to process even more of what just happened. The girl was pulling all stops to keep it together. She whispered to herself.
"What was that.. it was just a dream Morri. It's okay. Nurse Chambers said it's common in shock and trauma patients, but I'm not in shock. I'm fine. I am Morri Lillith Skopos. I will not be weakened by a dream or fear of a nightmare. Get it together girl..." She then takes a deep breath, before heading to the door, opening it to whomever awaited, at least Kat she knew for sure.
"Hi."
