Shiver [Bliss]

[Dani James]

It was cold there, where Dani sat. But it was awesome. Unused Dorms were great for staying up late, having late night talks, and hanging out with your friends. She loved her roommates but sometimes you wanted to stay up late and all they wanted to do was be lame and sleep. Seriously, who needed sleep?! Dani would sleep when she was dead. Okay, not really, but still, sometimes people were lame so had to go out and make new friends. Being social made that a lot easier. Dani was crazy, and loud and up for almost anything. Complete opposite of her roommate Xio. That girl was the definition of anti social. Dani just couldn’t understand how anyone could be that alone and be happy. Or was she happy?

Dani grumbled something about being bored under her breath and reached for the gummy worms. It really didn’t matter if her friend was late or not; Dani wasn’t very punctual herself, or bitchy for that matter, she was just extremely bored. And when she got bored, her mind was free to recall memories and think of stuff and that stuff was usually stuff she didn’t want to remember. Like the whole ‘friends with benefits’ thing she had going with Ivan. Sure, they weren’t hurting anyone. And neither one of them was a whore but it still felt dirty to Dani. Yet she couldn’t stop. She didn’t want to be alone. She’d been alone to long and she hated the feeling. Her fingers twisted in her hands. Thinking about Ivan and what was left her no so family like family always made her depressed. Actually, a lot of things made her depressed. It was the main reason she was so outgoing and crazy. It was almost like a mask. No, she wasn’t fake. Dani really was sweet and outgoing but underneath all of the craze and hyperactivity was a girl who just wanted to be loved. She wanted someone to hold her and tell her it was okay and that she didn’t have to worry about what had happened. It was almost torture sometimes having to be such a way just so that her old life wouldn’t catch up with her.

“Come on, Bliss,” Dani popped another worm into her mouth and lay back on the bed. There were enough pillows and blankets here to sleep in case they stayed up all night or something. It was basically furnished there were just no occupants. And no one seemed to come in here anyway. There were always extra dorms on each floor so it made less likely to get caught. Not that they would really get mad. Dani checked her cell phone. She really did get bored too easily. Then again, she could just as easily be amused at times.

[Bliss Diegel]

Darling what is going on?
Honestly that never happened
Lying is your favorite passion.
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins
dying is your latest fashion.

The chilly area of Winterthorne. It really didn't bother the young vampire. She actually enjoyed it. The winter air made everything so quiet, well to most. To Bliss, everything was loud and clear. With energy manipulation that was. With that, all engery Bliss could harness and create. Make something loud and torture people with. She had only tortured someone once, and that was when she found who had killed her parents. She tortured the guy to death, until he drew his very last breath... No regreat came to her for killing a man, not at all. In this world, there were good people, and bad people... Would she become one of the bad vampires? The one who kills humans and everything else? Bliss counted herself so less than others and everyone was too blind to see the girl who was actually suffering and crying out for help on the inside. But no help came, none. Sure, Ivory offered to help but Ivory didn't really understand what was going on... Plus, Ivory was still on the search for her biological father and her father, the one her mother had married before he ran off and Ivy's mother killed herself. Everyone had problems, and that's why Bliss put others before herself... But, usually people like that get cut down some point in life or snap... Bliss was sure she'd be different, but the possiblities weren't so high in her favor.

Walking down the halls in the girl's dorm area, Bliss sighed. She was to meet Dani in one of the empty dorms no one was currently using. Well, Bliss was on her way... She just didn't know which unused dorm to go to! There were a couple, all on the same floor at least. After stopping at three different ones, there were only two other dorms left. She used her energy manipulation to make hearing higher, trying to see if maybe she could hear Dani. Hearing words, she followed them before smirking. Powers came in such good handy, especially in this case. Finally reaching the dorm Bliss turned the knob, opening the door and smirking at Dani who sat on the bed with a worm in her mouth. "Ouch, you don't wait for me before you start eating?" Smiling slightly, Bliss shut and locked the door before walking over to Dani.

The room was still cold, but soon enough Bliss and Dani would be making their own heat with their two bodies. Bliss loved Dani to death, and she wanted to be sure she was definatly okay with this before they started anything. I mean, seriously, she wouldn't want Dani to regreat anything serious. She just had to be careful, Bliss that was... One wrong move, she could hurt Dani emotionally or physically, or Dani could hurt Bliss physically. Bliss really didn't get offended easily, so if Dani said anything mean she'd be fine. Like Bliss cared. Sitting besides her friend, she took one of the worm, smirking before she put it in her mouth. "So... Are you definatly sure you want to do this Dani? I don't want you to like... Freak out or something and use one of your powers on me like your scream..." Oh god, if that scream was used, Bliss might die. Her powers would get out of wack and her sound thing and all of the energy control... Well, Bliss might also kill Dani so she just had to double check with her so neither of the die.

[Dani James]

Patience was not Dani’s forte. She tried, but her hyper personality just couldn’t handle being bored for too long. Every now and then she would settle down and you would see her be calm but those days were rare and not something you saw everyday. She was already halfway through the first bag of gummy worms. She was lying on her bag, dangling the poor piece of candy above her mouth despite that she still had one hanging out of her mouth whenever Bliss walked in. “How many rooms did you walk into before you found me?” She teased. She held out the almost finished bad of worms. “I can’t help it. The worms were calling me….they begged me to eat them. Want one? I have more.” It was a wonder that Dani was as small as she was. She ate so much junk food it was ridiculous. She swallowed one last gummy worm and sat up then scooted over to make room for her friend on the bed.

That rare silence set in and Dani pressed her lips together. She given this situation so much thought lately and it was killing her. Sexuality is a big thing. Especially to a seventeen year old. A big part of her was afraid of what the outcome would be. She was pretty accepting when it came to most things and when other people were gay it didn’t bother her at all but now that the circumstances were a little different she was pretty scared. She knew it wasn’t a bad thing but it was something to that was going to take a while to get used to. She smiled and willed her body to relax. It wasn’t so bad. She had Bliss to help her through this. Unlike some people, she actually cared about how she felt and if she was feeling comfortable. Dani swallowed her nervousness and nodded. “I-I’m sure…” She forced herself to nod. She had to do this. She needed to know if she was straight or not. A hint of tension showed in her laugh. “I promise I’ll try my hardest not to kill you.” Control of her powers was something that she had most of the time but scare her enough and she would slip. Fear was the ultimate trigger to her powers unleashing. She let her hands rest in her lap, her fingers rubbing together. She felt like she didn’t know what to do even though it was no different that kissing a guy. Unless they ended up doing more. Then she would really be clueless.

[Bliss Diegel]

Hearing her answer, Bliss nodded, breathing a little. It was only going to bit awkward... I mean, come on! Dani was one of her very close friends, and it would be awkward to anyone with their friend. Lesbian or not, Bliss was not exactly use to making out with her best friends, so... Only slightly awkward but Bliss would. Who knew how far it would get? Bliss didn't know. It would probably get steamy, knowing how far Bliss might push it. Oh well, it'd stop when Dani said stop. "Dani, when I start, I have a hard time stopping so... Shove me off or say stop loud, but please don't scream," she said with a slight laugh, swallowing the gummy worm before looking to Dani. Bliss pulled the sticking out part of the gummy worm from Dani's mouth, taking another deep breath. "Ready?"

This moment, or probably soon to be moments, with Dani were something bliss never really had planned... She never planned to make-out with her, never planned for things to ever get steamy. I mean, who would? Unless you were obessed with your friend, then maybe. But Bliss? Nope, never planned it. She was scared a little, but at least Bliss hadd her powers under control, except on natural instinct would Bliss use them without thought. Those moments happened when she became a vampire and other times, but here? Only would happen if Dani freaked... Hopefully she wouldn't. So, moving towards Dani, Bliss pushed her hair out of her face before kissing Dani, closing her eyes so then at least it wouldn't seem as awkward.

[[ ooc; we're still doing that thing where Dani freaks and ends up using her powers and Bliss breaks her wrist, right? -is confuzzled- ]]

[Dani James]

She licked her lips and nodded. The only way to make this easy for both of them was to relax and just do it. It would be a little awkward no matter what she did, but that wasn’t something one couldn’t help. It was usually awkward when you made out with your best friend no matter who you were. Or for must people anyway. Did this make her a whore? She thought it might. She was already messing around with Ivan [and liking it] and he barely knew her. They basically on first name basis plus a few details and now she was going to make out with someone else. A girl to be exact. True, she and Ivan weren’t together or anything and she was only kissing Bliss but you never know, that may qualify her as a whore, she wasn’t sure. Then again, even when she was only with Ivan she felt dirty so maybe it was just a personal problem or not feeling worthy. She sighed and cam back to reality to realize she had just been sitting there, wasting time, looking stupid. “Sorry,” She muttered sheepishly. “I promise not to scream.” The screaming she could control. It was the fear amplification that she occasionally slipped with.

She took a deep breath. “Yeah,” Dani but her lip and nodded. Ready as I’ll ever be, she thought to herself and leaned forward. Bliss closed her eyes and so did Dani and the barest wisp touch her hair and she felt her lips touch Bliss’s. She almost pulled back at the last second but she didn’t. It was almost the same as kissing a guy when she closed her eyes. Her breathing went a little shaky and she pressed her lips into Bliss’s. Yeah, it felt good. She couldn’t deny that for one second, she liked it. That’s what scared her a little but she couldn’t stop herself--or maybe she didn’t want to stop herself. Either way, there was no way to tell how much time passed as her lips parted and met with the other’s over and over again. It was okay, though. Dani wasn’t keeping time, she was more focused on how much she was enjoying this.

[[Sorrie, I took so long. =[ I had to write like 9 replies, literally. And, Yeah, we still are. =]] Are they going to go farther before it happens though?]]

[Bliss Diegel]

Feeling Dani's lips respond to her's, Bliss felt a small shiver run through her body, throughout her entire body. It might be the cold, but Bliss doubted that. It was always cold at Winterthorne, Bliss hardly shivered... Maybe it was just the idea she actually was making out with her best friend that came into her head. It was only experimenting though, it would mean nothing after the kissing, right? But what if it pushed further than a mer kiss? What then? Dani was supposed to stop Bliss if it became too much for her, Dani and herself knew that. But, what if Dani didn't and ended up doing something she regreated? OH gosh, Bliss was getting too worried over this... So, blocking away the stupid thoughts, Bliss put on hand on Dani's waist, th other being sure that Dani's hair stayed out of her face so it didn't get in the way of their kissing.

Parting her lips when Dani did, their lips met over and over again, at some points sticking together as Bliss pushed her tongue into the other's mouth. Bliss cannot deny she liked it... Well, on the inside she couldn't. On the outside, if she talked to someone other than Dani, she would deny the kiss was pleasurable. She didn't exactly want people to know though that her and Dani were experimenting. It may make Dani look bad, and Bliss. People knew Bliss would have a one night stand here or there, but Dani? Bliss hadn't heard anything around school or from Dani herself, so she assumed that she hadn't done anything. But with lip action and everything, Bliss was so unsure of how people wouuld react to the idea... She feared mostly for Dani over herself, but still. This would not get out, and after their experimenting for today Bliss would be sure she knew that.

[[ ooc; uhm... after they get farther because i think that's when Dani would freak, right? ]]

[Dani James]

A small chill ran up Danni’s back. It made her body shake in both fear and pleasure and she returned the action by putting her own hand on Bliss’s waist and pulling her a bit closer. She didn’t know what she was doing, she just was. She knew it felt good and that was all that mattered at that moment. Beside’s it was just experiment…trying to find out if she was or not. It didn’t mean anything else to either or them, right? Of course not…this was just a friend helping out a friend. A simple matter of doing what needed to be done and this needed to be done because she needed to know whether she was Bisexual or not. I mean, if you thought about it more than once and found yourself wondering about it you had to be, no? Hopefully she was just curious. She had read somewhere that almost everyone was a little curious at one point and that it was just a phase that would pass. But the way Bliss’s finger were touching her, she wasn’t sure if she wanted this phase to pass.

Dani parted her lips more and welcomed Bliss’s tongue entrance. She was getting excited and she didn’t even know it. A tiny voice in the back of her head knew that this was probably where she needed to draw the line and stay stop but she couldn’t bring herself to pull away from her. She couldn’t force the words out of her mouth, nor did she want to. Not yet. It was too much of a good feeling running through her to let it end. She was clinging on to it so desperately like all of the times she had when she had slept with Ivan. She needed this sensation. She needed to feel like she was loved and anytime she was lucky enough to feel such an emotion she did what she could too keep it because without she was the poor pathetic girl that was incapable of being loved again.


[[Mmkay, agreed]]

[Bliss Diegel]

Lips moved, tongues glided and caught each other, bodies moving close together... Bliss knew that this was going to cause stuff. Bliss's hand pushed up Dani's shirt slightly, feeling the female's soft skin. Bliss pulled herself closer to Dani, bodies up against each other's as she ran her hand and fingers along the other's stomache, when sudden thoughts and images appeared. Bliss knew this would happen, but she didn't take it into thought... Her gift of psychometry, the reason why she wore long sleeves or something usually... She would even wear gloves, but not many knew about her gift of psychometry, because then they'd never touch her. So, now she was learning Dani's past... Recent, and when Dani was little.

Images of when her and Ivan were having sex, something not very plesant but the power drove her deeper. She hadn't really been able to control her psychometry, unlike her friend Ivory. Ivory had complete control, over every power. Bliss was still unable to control pshychometry, so as it traveled farther into Dani's past, even the stuff she didn't remember, Bliss had no true control. She went back to... What did she see... She saw a woman and a little girl in a car. The girl was saying a doll's name and the girl looked so happy... The woman was just driving and then a sudden car hit. She saw bruises, an angry father... He was beating the little girl, hitting her with everything. Bliss didn't know what was happening, but she felt a huge urge to cry but she couldn't. She felt like she was standing there... Chairs went flying and then a sudden, familiar scream went through Bliss. The girl was Dani... She watched the man fall to the ground and Dani run over to help him, but then hands went around her neck. Then, pure torture fell onto him. Everything went through Bliss, all of it, and she felt no escape to the images. None. The only escape was to stop the kiss, but Bliss could hardly tell she was still kissing Dani though kisses procceded and Bliss' hand went more up Dani's shirt, well under it, feeling her skin still as she was trapped in Dani's past.

[Dani James]

Too many emotions and sensation were running through her head to think properly. The places that kisses landed made no difference and neither did the direction of hands. It was just them, Bliss and Dani, no one else. She didn’t think, she couldn’t. She just moved with the familiar sensation of being touched and that she knew she could do right. Maybe she wasn’t brilliant smart, or gorgeous, or the most popular person but when she was in the heat in the moment she didn’t have to worry about being anything of those things. Kinda like that lyric from ‘Cute Is What We Aim For’ when Shannt sings ‘Style doesn’t matter when you’re on your back.’ It truly didn’t and it was the one moment when Dani didn’t care. This feeling, it was all she needed. It was what made her feel safest; loved. It was pure bliss--no pun intended--and it was just what she wanted. Wrapped up in the moment, she didn’t even flinch when a hand pushed up her shirt.

She let her. They both wanted it, so why stop her? Dani leaned into the girl and let out small moan. All kinds of words ran through. Yes, more, touch, need, heat, shake. She couldn’t stop herself from whatever was happening. The only things she knew where that in this situation mean hands touched skin, the shirt came off and that’s what happened.

[Bliss Diegel]

She kept fighting the power, fighting hard... Finally, she broke free, but images still remainded, though she was out of the memories. At least now Blis knew what she was doing, and she was shocked by how far Dani was letting things get, but she kept going with what was happening. Obviously dani wanted it if she was letting things go one. She broke the kiss for only a second to remove Dani's shirt, tossing it to the ground before moving herself so she was on top of Dani, well hovering over her. He legs were on either side on Dani, Hands holding her up so she didn't fall over Dani. Her lips moved faster and swifter with Dani's, her body yerning more and more. Her lips moved down from Dani's lips with a small smirk when she heard a moan from Dani. Her lips ran from her cheek, down her jawline, ending up on her neck, shoulders, and chest. Her tongue ran itself along with her lips as open mouth kisses were placed on her neck, only pleasure being something sought out.

Though emotions tried to block out images, she couldn't help but still feel so awful... She felt an urge to cry her eyes, to let go of all of this pain that she was feeling for her close friend, and now experiment buddy. She wondered why Dani put on a mask, hiding all of the pain she had. Bliss wanted to stop and reach out to her friend, but the pleasure Bliss was reciving from all of this stopped Bliss from it. Dani was definatly enjoying this, otherwise she would have stopped Bliss. So, with lips moving and tongue moving across Dani's neck, shoulders, and chest, she let herself go into a mode where really only thing that would stop her was a physical movement of pushing her off. She would click out all sound in this mode, hence why a shove was needed. Why else would she have told Dani to do that?

[Dani James]

Back in reality, where Dani cared about things and listening to her conscience there was a girl telling her to stop where she was. To freeze and possibly to push her friend away but she wasn’t having it. She was too afraid to let this sensation go. Whatever second thoughts she was having flew to the ground with her shirt and was left forgotten. Next thing she knew, Bliss was on top of her, their bodies touching in places some people wouldn’t accept. Dani pulled Bliss back to her and let their lips crash once more. Fuck what people thought. She didn’t live to please them. She lived to please herself and to make her friends happy. And this, this was making her happy. This was getting her all hot and bothered in all the best places. Places that up until now, only Ivan had heated up. There was definitely competition now….If this kept up, she wasn’t going to need competition. Her body was aching to do more but how much more was the question. She honestly didn’t know what came next. Bliss’s body was warm on her though, and that was enough to keep her in the game. Dani let her own hands explore the territory of Bliss’s body. She pushed her own hands past her shirt and let her shaking hands rub Bliss’s skin. There was no way to tell if she was doing it right so she just did and listening for some kind of sound of approval from her friend.

Things shifted in fast forward. Dani didn’t know whether to pause or keep going so she followed Bliss’s lead. Things were comfortable for her yet she didn’t know what to do so she was mostly copying what the other girl did. She desperately wanted to know if she was doing this right. Hell, she just wanted to know what Bliss was thinking. Or feeling. But just when she almost opened her stupid mouth to ask, those thoughts whirled away into nothing too because no Bliss had her tongue all over her body and it was a feeling too good that she couldn’t escape it.

[Bliss Diegel]

Feeling Dani's hands under her shirt, Bliss felt yet another shiver. Her body was getting so heated and she felt a huge craving in her system. Her body craved for more, and more she would get... Until Dani pushed her away that was. But, Dani hadn't yet, so their pleasures would press on. A small moan came from Bliss, hand moving from on the bed to Dani's chest, feeling the only thing blocking her hand being her bra. She sort of wanted to just rip it off, but she needed to wait for a definate sign from Dani. Her hand massaged her chest, the other going down to Dani's jeans before hooking a finger in one of the loops, pushing them down slightly. Bliss like to be agressive, but she'd be a little bit slower today... Just because she could, and because she was supposed to be.

Bliss was starting to get a little unsure by Dani not reacting... I mean, she had seen how her and IVan were when they had sex (a disgusting image that will haunt her forever) and Dani wasn't acting the same with Bliss. Bliss was wondering, questioning how Dani was thinking, feeling. Well, pleasure but anything else? I mean, seriously! You'd think Dani would have responded, or said something. But all she had been hearing were the sounds of their kisses and a moan from each, that was it. Shaking away the thoughts, Bliss licked down to Dani's pants line before coming back up, pushing her lips hard against Dani's. Overlapping kisses and such went into play, and those damn images still haunted Bliss... Why wouldn't they leave?!

[Dani James]

Dani was aggressive…when it came to guys. Oh, she knew how please them just fine. Or, it worked for Ivan at least. He seemed to enjoy it just fine and he hadn’t complained yet so she would take that as sign that she at least knew what she was doing when it came to males but this? Eh, not so much. Was she supposed to cope Bliss or try and do more? She felt like she was being graded on this and it wasn’t even a test. Well, it was kind of, but you know what I mean. She let out a small gasp--finally a different reaction from the one she’s been giving when hands touched below her jeans. It was like an electric shock to her body. Good or bad? She didn’t know. It must have not been good because fear was pulsating through her, making her eyes fly wide open. She hadn’t meant to react to stupidly, but it wasn’t the same. Or maybe it was and she was thinking too much it. Either way, she realized that her pants were about to come unless she stopped it.

A lump formed in her throat at the sensation of being touched again. She wasn’t going to deny, she was enjoying it but she was so afraid. She hadn’t expected it to go this far. How far would it go before they would stop? Were they going to stop? Maybe it was too late to stop and now she had to go on. She knew that when she and Ivan did this if she got him hard she had to take care of it, because being left sexually displeased was not fun at all.

She bit her lip and forced a smile toward Bliss. It was fine, it would be okay. And she was okay, up until she knew Bliss hands were going to below those panties and she could take the panic. She freaked. She didn’t know what to do but she wanted it to stop. Her hands shook and she tried the simple of calling Bliss before she realized her friend probably wouldn’t realize that she was trying to get her to stop. She had said push her right? Dani took a breath and tried to think rationally. She had asked for this. She had been enjoying it. So what was the problem? Why was she suddenly flipping out? It felt like things were moving too fast. All the sounds and the colors were blurring and going haywire. She could hear every breath Bliss took and the sound of that seemed to magnify in her mind until are she could hear was heavy breath and feel the tips of Bliss’s fingers touch her. She froze. She panicked. She reacted.

And there was absolutely no control over what happened next. Images she couldn’t quite place were bombarding her, shifting her into overload. She could only seem bits and pieces. Freaky looking clowns and memories of an orphanage among a few other things. But it was enough for some reason. She could feel something too. Fear? Loneliness? Yes, that’s what it was. That feeling was everyone surrounding her, choking her, filling her. It made her mouth go dry because she knew what this was and there was no way to stop it. She see the fear in Bliss’s eyes. She could smell it on her. And if she didn’t stop it right now she was going to hear it too. And she wanted to stop it, she really did it but there was so much going through her she couldn’t sort her own thoughts from Bliss’s. She wasn’t trying to hurt her! It was a natural reflex. That’s just the way it worked.

[Bliss Diegel]

The motions and kisses and feelings were so fast, Bliss was now lost in them... The kisses were something she was using to block out the memories she found in Dani. They scared her, disturbed her, and they picked at her bones. Dani went through so much, yet she hid it from everyone, the world! Except the people who were there. Those were the things that Bliss was beginning to fear for her friend. She was so concerned for her. Her mind blocked the past thoughts out, but now that their lips were locked again she saw them all over again. She felt one tear stray down her cheek, but then a huge, overwhelming fell onto her... Dani was freaking, and Bliss could tell because now she felt a huge torture come over her... She knew she should have stopped this.

Images of the past, her own, came flooding back. Her fear of damn clowns and ballon animals. She felt pure torture fall upo her, and she came off Dani quickly, falling off the bed to hear the snap of her wrist as she fell on it badly. Images of her old orphanage came into her head, images of a hungry vampire who nearly killed her. The man se killed to avenge her family... All of her past thoughts and memories made her fear over everything. She felt tears come into her eyes, but not from her fear... From Dani. Knowing how Dani even got into this, how she found out her powers. Tears came pouring out of her eyes in uncontrolable. Unable to stop these tears, Bliss didn't call for help or anything. She was unable to as her fears closed in and Dani's past flashed through her mind in a quick fast forward. Bliss felt overwhelmed, terrified... She just didn't know what was going on.

Well, what started out as an experiment turned into something that tortured Bliss and made Dani scared. Why else would Dani have acted out? Bliss hated this... Being tortured and now her wrist was broken. A nice visit to the nurse wouldn't be so pleasant because she always asked what happened and she knew if you were lying... There was like, no freedom in the teenager universe because of her. But, off the topic of the fun ruining nurse, both of them were hurting. Bliss felt pure pain as tears poured out of her eyes, squeezing her eyes shut as she put her hands over her ears, blocking out old noises she heard. The sounds of the past, the laughing cries of her old foster parents. The visions of hands touching where a man shouldn't touch any young girl, a knife that slashed across her stomache. That's why there was a huge, red scar went across her stomache. The reason she never swam or did anything that showed her stomache, and people never saw her stomache when having sex. No on knew about her past, all of it's secrets. So the scar was something only Blake Phoenix knew and Ivory. Only because they were so close, and plus Blake had been her friend since... Forever. Though that was said, no one was around to save the girl from the torture she was feeling as her hands tried to block out voices and cruel laughs from the past, eyes shut to rid herself of awful images, and tears pouring out of her eyes from not her own past, but Dani's.

[Dani James]

The thing about Dani is that, despite her ‘knowledge’ of being with guys, there was still a big part of her that was innocent. There was so many things she didn’t understand and there were so many things she was afraid including letting her guard down. This was her close friend. It was even harder because she felt like she was being read. Like somehow Bliss could see into her. Like she might know what was going on. It felt like she was being exposed, and that, Dani did not like. Her insides were crawling with shame. She couldn’t explain the feeling at all. She just felt like she was being turned inside, like if this went any farther Bliss might know that she had gotten her mom killed or what she had done to her dad. Those were things that only Logan and Sammii knew. Monster knew her parents had died but Dani never told her more for fear of scaring her friend.

Whatever happened next was longer up to Dani but whatever made the gears of her powers Churn. It was just as much a reflexive action as it was will powered. The more chaos that suffocated the atmosphere, the worse this was going to get. And unless she focused now and got it together Bliss was going to end up in the same state her father was in. You don’t know how difficult this was her. Whatever fear Bliss was feeling Dani was getting it too. She could avoid if she really want to, but she was too scared to even bother or care. The only she could do was back away on the bed and bury her head in arms. Every sound that entered her system came in with a force that threatened to make her skull explode. Every image was another one she couldn’t escape. It was terrifying and that was understatement. You know in movies when the volume gets so loud the character looks she likes going to throw up and the scene starts to spinning and getting closer and the music speeds up so fast you know the character is going to either scream or go crazy? That was Dani. And she did both.

Loudly. It was a short, human scream, but it was enough to suddenly make everything go deadly quiet. She sat there, frozen in her fear, a thin film of sweat covering her forehead. She took heavy breaths and swallowed her anxiety. She was only brave enough to peek over her shoulders but even through her tears she knew her friend was not alright. Her chest heaved up and down for another minute before calmness settled in and all that was left quiet sobbing and the sound of Dani trying to force her body enough to see if Bliss was okay. She shuffled off the bed, nearly tripped and fell to her knees in front of her. “Bliss?” Her voice came out in a croak and she wiped tears away with the back of her hand. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” She repeated the words over and over, the tear springing back to her eyes. What had she done? How bad was she? Now the fear was worse. If she had hurt Bliss so badly she was never the same again she would never forgive herself. Never. “Bliss, please, I’m sorry!” She choked on a sob and put a hand on her friend’s shoulder. “Please be okay, tell me your okay…”
