Umbridge High School Building, Saturday Evening

[nomutineer.livejournal.com]

There were some clouds hanging around the spires of Umbridge High School, but not enough; there was an overlaying sense that there shouldn't be as much sunlight shining down on it as there was.

It was quiet. Kind of. There was tension in the air, a wound-up strung-up thing that ensnared the school. Somehow it seemed as if even the birds didn't want to touch down on the building itself, and the gates seemed to fold into themselves, even if they weren't quite shut.

And all that on a weekend, too.

No, no, no, this wasn't how it was supposed to go. "I've come to rescue you. You have to get up now." Leon knelt down in front of her, and reached a hand toward her face.

Rinoa gasped as she yanked herself away from his approaching hand. She wrapped her arms protectively around Angelo-Sookie-No-One-Is-Coming-For-Us and skittered back, kicking her feet against the ground.

"Go away!"

No no no no no no no no...

She was broken. She was broken and cracked into tiny pieces and it was all his fault. He hadn't come in time. He had failed her.

"Rinoa, please," Leon begged. "We need to all go with Kitty."

The worst was that some part of her heart still lurched at seeing him, still thrilled to his voice. She hated that part.

How could he just stand there after everything he had done? Because it didn't mean anything to him. That was why. Because he really didn't feel any of it. Why had he bothered to come at all?

"Not you," she insisted, shaking. "I won't go with you. I won't."

He didn't get to hurt Angelo-Sookie-No-One-Is-Coming-For-Us, cradled on her lap. He didn't get to pretend he cared about her and lie.

"You have to. I've come for you. I've come to rescue you."

Leon was begging with her, pleading. He reached out a hand again, hesitantly, trying to see how close he could get before she flinched. "Angelo is out there, waiting for you," he told her. "She needs you. I need you."

"I heard what you did to Angelo!" she shrieked. "Don't you lie to me! You killed her, you son of a --"

Suddenly, the air was different. Something changed. A tiny trickle, over her garden wall.

The dam (http://fandomhigh.livejournal.com/3176427.html?thread=193461483#t193461483) was about to burst.
