Dance Club Meeting - 7 PM FHT

Rory sits cross-legged on a table, waiting for the others to show up.

She looks at her watch every few minutes, wanting to keep the meeting as short as possible. Drawing it out seems...morbid.

Rory sighs. "I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but you'll find out soon enough...a student was killed on Thursday, in town."

Elizabeth pales, and puts two and two together, coming up with five. Her voice catches. "Was it Kitty?"

Rory nods vehemently. "I don't know the details, but that's what Alanna told me, and I'd trust her to know."

Elizabeth bites on her lip, her face pale. "Oh my God," she whispers, leaning against the table.

"Are you okay?" Rory asks, looking concerned. "Want to sit down? I fainted when I found out yesterday."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth waves off her concern. "I'll be fine," she says, although she still grabs the nearest chair and sits down heavily in it. "It's just... God..."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods. "I know. It's...horrifying. I still don't know why. Or how. Or...who."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth looks up at Rory, her eyes growing slightly wider. "It was under suspicious circumstances then? It wasn't just some freak, awful accident?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Rory bites her lip. "Again, this is totally secret, but...yeah. The last thing Lockheed remembers is being stuck in an alley with a 'killer.' That was exactly what he told Professor Dream, I guess."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth swallows hard. "And stuck in an alley means that there's little chance of witnesses," she murmers mostly to herself.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods. "And I was less than a hundred yards away, too. It's my fault."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"No, it wasn't," Elizabeth says firmly. "You cannot blame yourself for this."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Liz, I let her go off by herself. At night. It's completely my fault."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
"And do you honestly think your presence would have made that much of a difference? That if a person can take one life, then he or she wouldn't think twice about taking another?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Rory shakes her head. "But if she hadn't walked off at all, she'd be alive. I should have kept her with me and Logan."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth stands up, and wraps her arms around Rory. "You don't know that. This was not your fault. The only person to blame is the one who killed her."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Rory fights tears again. "But who would do that? Why? Why would someone kill Kitty?"

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Elizabeth pulls Rory closer, rubbing her back comfortingly. "I don't know... I honestly don't know why. She might have been targeted for some reason, or she was just an opportune target."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
"God, if I ever find out who did it..." Rory mumbles.

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I know... I know," Elizabeth murmers, holding Rory tighter.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Rory pulls back and hastily wipes at her eyes. "God, this whole thing has me acting like some kind of weakling. I've been crying since yesterday, and I actually fainted when I found out last night. Angelus ended up having to carry me back to my room."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
"You're not weak for crying about something like this," Elizabeth says. "And people faint when they're upset, because it affects the nerves which control your blood pressure."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Really?" Rory asks, interest creeping into her voice. "I didn't know that. Handy. Um, Liz...you can tell people like Janet and Sam and stuff, but...this is totally secret. I don't want there to be a panic, you know."

[identity profile] notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
"That's what I've been told by a doctor I once knew," Elizabeth replies. She nods. "I figured that it would be. I also knew that I probably wouldn't be able to keep it from them though."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2005-11-02 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Rory nods. "I wouldn't expect you to. And I trust them. The entire school will probably know after the staff meeting tomorrow anyway."
