Detention, Depths of the Castle, Friday

[bigdamnprisoner.livejournal.com]

So, one of the important things to realize about detention was that the monotony of everyone's daily lives was part of the punishment. That meant that even though someone had died yesterday, the day's schedule didn't change a bit.

After all, most of your little lives just weren't that important in the grand scheme of things.

"Principle Winchester." Karla tried to make it sound mocking, she really did. But being cruel was so much harder without the Imperio, even if she knew there was necessity behind it. "Is this what happens when we leave you in charge of the children? Things get so out of hand!"

On a psychic thread, unsure whether Zoe would hear it or not, Karla begged, *I'm here for the Resistance, I have a message! If you can hear this, give me a sign!* And below it was a pounding, pulsing beat of I'm sorry, so sorry, Mother Night, so sorry.

Facing Imperio had been nothing compared to this.

Zoe's expression hardened until she heard Karla's softer tone in her head, and it was all she could do to keep her expression the same. "It isn't the fault of anyone in here that things have gotten out of hand," she said carefully. "Is that really all you have to say to me?"

"Well, I was going to tell you in detail about the conversation I had with Sam yesterday," Karla continued, sitting down next to Zoe as if they were chums. "It was about Peter. Such a tragic love story there. But if you're uninterested...?"

The bragging tone would hopefully cover up the part where she explained to Zoe exactly what she'd done to Sam in hopes that Zoe could start to fix it.

On the psychic link, however, there was immediate relief. *Tomorrow. There's an attack coming tomorrow by the Resistance. We're going to let you out of here.*

Zoe would definitely be working on helping Sam, but it was clear she had a lot of other work ahead of her as well. "You'd better stay away from him," she said in a warning tone that she really didn't have to fake very much. "And I'd better not see you back here again tomorrow."

Could they really pull something like that off? Could everyone be prepared to escape in just one day? Some old fashioned faith was definitely going to be required here.

"Oh, I can guarantee you'll see me here tomorrow, Zoe," Karla said with a tight grin, hoping that would disguise the concern in her eyes. "I'm going to keep coming back until there's no one left to bother. So be ready."

She flicked her eyes over to Sam, struggling to keep her grief and regret off her face. "But I'll be kindly today and leave him alone. Sudden shocks need time to heal and set in, after all."

Fluttering her lashes, she added, "Kiss kiss."

Zoe smiled at Karla, although anyone who's seen her in the last few days could have easily mistaken it for a sarcastic look. "Oh, I think you'll find a lot of people ready to face you tomorrow." And maybe, just maybe, whatever plan had been hatched would work. "Kiss kiss."
