Detention, Depths of the Castle, Tuesday

[cracking-wonder.livejournal.com]

Another bright, shining, and pink day had begun for the prisoners guests being held in detention, and while the morning started off the same as the day before, there was a strange sort of feeling in the air once people began waking up. A kind of... musical feeling, in fact.

Umbridge might have taken over the island, but the island still had a mind of her own, thank you very much.

Cassidy tried to pull away from Elle, even as she was forced to continue singing.

"I was all out of fight
Then the dark came down but no cavalry arrived
And those ne'er-do-wells love a sacrifice
But you don't scare me..."

Which was probably a lie, but the island seemed to be amusing herself with them today.

"Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
Your face is all wet 'cause our days were rough
So do what you must do to fill that hole"

She didn't mind if Cassidy screamed and cried and pulled away. It was just what Cassidy needed to do to survive. Elle could understand that.

Cassidy tried to scramble further away from Elle. She always tried this and it always failed, but she couldn't not try to fight back.

"Underneath these over hangs there lives a fear not as clear
As it seems up here
And rivulets at great length
Form tiny landscapes over years
I'll become unclear
Oh I fear
I'll become unclear..."

"Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you"

Elle knew it was wrong to like Cassidy, to more than like her, but she still did. Maybe that was why she spent so much time with Cassidy in particular.

"Don't pull away," she whispered, grateful for real words and not song.

Cassidy's forehead wrinkled because Elle's command was nicer than she usually said them. For some reason, that made her even more frightened than she had been.

"And some people believe that they're the only ones
That have a stirring in their hearts that they can't name
But not all hearts will fall apart or come undone
But it's that stirring in our hearts that we can't name
That keeps us all the same..."

Elle really just wanted a friend -- all she had was Cassie, and as much fun as Cassie was, she had a feeling the other girl didn't really like her, was just using her for something. But she was what Elle had, so she lived with it.

"'cause I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life?
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly?"

"When you die and you meet the High Lord of Hell, I hope he peels you apart layer by layer and takes your head and makes you pay for everything you've done here."

That probably wasn't the smartest things she could have said.

Elle looked positively hurt. "I hope you survive in here forever," she crooned. "All lost and alone and isolated from the land and everything that keeps you sane and who you are."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/24]

That thought hurt her deeply, but she didn't let the hurt show on her face.

"Even if I do, I will still be better and saner than you are. No matter how lost and isolated from the land I am, I will never be as tainted and have a heart as ugly and cruel as yours."

Cassidy, what have we said about not taunting the crazy who has a fixation on you?

"Umbridge took me in, showed me that someone cared about me."

No she didn't, Elle, but you're not aware of that right now.

"And I may be tainted and cruel, but guess what else I am?" She gave a not at all sane smile. "I'm free to come and go as I please."

"No she didn't, Elle," Cassidy said softly. "She's lied to you. She's a fraud and doesn't care about you."

Cassidy's lips tightened. "Then why don't you go."

Re: Visiting Hours [07/24]

"She gave me something to do with myself!" Elle was shaking with outrage.

"Because you're fun to play with, that's why I don't go."

"Yes, to be a thrice-cursed annoyance to others." Cassidy kept pushing at her buttons.

Re: Visiting Hours [07/24]

"Oh, Cassidy..." Elle sighed. "I really didn't want to hurt you like this, but..."

There went the electricity to the head again.

Cassidy twisted her head, trying to get away from the power before she was forced to scream.

Elle admired the effort, but it wasn't going to work. She wasn't in the mood to let it this time.

Cassidy tried to hold her hands against her head so that she could maybe blunt the effect of Elle's shocks to her head and body. She knew that Elle was now more even determined that she scream and she couldn't escape that.
