Detention, Depths of the Castle, Thursday

[cracking-wonder.livejournal.com]

Another beautiful day had begun in Fandom, not that anyone in detention would have noticed. The lack of sunlight, the pleasant sound of Umbridge's voice, and the slightly stale smell of breakfast were all important aspects to making every day in detention routine! Surely everyone knew that surprises were no fun.

Look, the week was half over already and no one had been taken out and killed so far. That had to count for something, right?

Karla remained stiff and unyielding for a moment more, then allowed herself to relax. "I believe you," she whispered, patting Cassidy. "I understand--sometimes we forget ourselves, allow ourselves to be misled. I bet that's what happened to you, isn't it."

"I've forgotten some things and somewhere lost a little of myself, too. A lot of myself, I think, Karla." She swallowed, sniffling a little. "I want to find it and get it back, but I saw my tiger-eye turn to dust (http://fandomhigh.livejournal.com/3171101.html?thread=193158941#t193158941)."

Karla shook her head. "Those were lies sent to test you," she said. "Your Tiger's-eye is still there, just waiting for you to take it up again. But you can't do it from here. You have to leave this place, agree to take up your place as a proper Queen. Can you do that for me, Cassidy? Can you take up your Jewel and your duties again?"

"My Jewel didn't shatter?" The first small tendrils of hope started again at Karla's words. "I can still be a Queen?"

"You can," Karla promised. "But only if we get you out of here. I think it's time you left, don't you?"

"I want to get out, Karla," Cassidy nodded.

"Then let's go," Karla said, holding out her hand. "Come with me and promise to be good, okay? I'll take you up to see Lady Umbridge and then you can get your Jewel back and take care of the land."
