Icarus remained awake for the rest of the class. Once the bell rang, she sighed and started to get up, wanting food. She was tired so maybe some food would boost her energy.

Unfortunately for Icarus, it wasn't quite lunch time yet. But Benjamin had another class next, so he left the science room and its boring professor, headed elsewhere. That was odd, was all he could think, though, while his Literature professor droned on about a book Benjamin had already read. He answered a couple of questions at some point, while also thinking about what could possibly be bothering Icarus.

Icarus had skipped her next class to sneak off to the student lounge and get some more sleep. But alas, all she was met with were nightmares, Said bad dreams left her tossing and turning, all while groaning and whimpering in her sleep.

When his literature class was over, Benjamin found out that they had a twenty minute break before the next couple of classes, so he headed to his room to exchange his text books. He hated carrying around unnecessary things. On his way back, he passed the student lounge which was empty aside from a sleeping Icarus. A poorly sleeping Icarus. He sighed and went in, shaking her until she woke up.

Icarus continued to suffer until she finally jolted awake again. Her eyes flew open in an utter panic as if she as eluding a pursuing predator narrowly. She panted, glancing around before she zeroed in on Benjamin and tried to calm down. The girl sat up, rubbing her eyes a little. Why was she having these nightmares?!

Benjamin crouched in front of Icarus, reaching her eye level. "Alright, pájaro, what are these dreams about and why do you keep having them?" he asked, even though class would be starting soon. He was willing to skip a class.

Icarus tried not to tell Benjamin. She tried not to as he prodded her for answers, but finally, after a bit of fighting, she gave in. She told him of the horrors that were in her head. All the death, war, corpses, and malicious creatures lurking therein. After the explanation she looked to to Benjamin, wondering what he thought. She hoped he didn't think she was a freak.

Benjamin was definitely thinking that Icarus was a freak. But a freak with a problem that could be fixed. So he stood and jerked his head towards the door. "Follow me." He started out towards one of the few places he hadn't explored in the castle yet: the medical wing.

Icarus followed Benjamin down to the medical wing. She wondered what he was doing leading her down this way. But maybe she could either sleep peacefully here, or they'd give her something to help her get rid of these nightmares.

When Benjamin got to the medical wing, there wasn't anybody there. Then a curtain opened from a bed, and the girl who'd patched him up after the fight on Friday came through. "Hey, it's Saint Spain. If you're wondering, that's your new nickname." Benjamin frowned, but shook off the new information. "Little pájaro here has been having nightmares. Sleeping pill?" The girl shrugged and patted a nearby bed. "Sleeping pill and an excuse out of school for the rest of the day, and possibly a few others. But you might not be able to talk the head nurse out of forcing you to talk to the school shrink if you tell her about them."

Icarus was about to go and sit until the shrink came up. She stiffened and shook her head. "No! No shrinks! No doctors! I'm outta here!" she said, quickly leaving the medical wing and running to her room.
Once there, she locked all the locks and backed up until she was at her bed, sitting down. She curled up with a thick blanket around her shoulders and hugging one of her pillows. She didn't like doctors or shrinks. Mainly the personnel meant to help you with your mind. She hated people trying to get in her head. Maybe she should leave. Screw the letter and just book it before they sent the whole mental ward after her.

The girl sighed. It was customary for the school therapist to talk to any students having such problems as not sleeping or not getting along. Needless to say, Icarus had a red flag on her file already. Benjamin frowned, but he didn't go after Icarus. She wouldn't take kindly to that. But the girl grabbed a bottle of sleeping pills, scribbled out a note of proper dosages, and handed it to him. "Get those to her, but don't tell anyone." Benjamin hurried out of there, running into the kid pushing the mail cart. "Oh," he said, pushing up his glasses. "You're that Spanish boy, Saint Spain. Here's a letter for that girl you hang out with, Icarus." Benjamin thanked him and went to find Icarus. He came to her door and knocked. "Hey, pájaro, soy sólo yo." [OOC:] "it's just me."

Icarus stayed in her bed, looking up when she heard the knock. But she shook her head, curling more into the corner she had tucked herself into. "¡Fuera! No eres más que me va a llevar a un psiquiatra! Y que van a llamarme un monstruo! Al igual que todos los demás!" she yelled, sobbing a little into her pillow. She hated those shrinks. They always tried to see what made her tick.
[OOC:] "Go away! You're just going to take me to a shrink! And they're going to call me a freak! Just like everyone else!"

Benjamin frowned and shook the bottle of pills loudly. "Te prometo que no estoy aquí para llevar a cualquier lugar. Puedo traer pastillas para dormir, y una carta ..." He sighed and knocked on the door some more. "No le llevará a la contracción." [OOC:] 1. I promise I'm not here to take you anywhere. I bring sleeping pills and a letter 2.I won't take you to the shrink.

Icarus listened to the Spaniard, hearing the pills. She then got up and went over to the door, slowly unlocking each lock. She sighed silently as she cracked the door open a little, but not glancing up at Benjamin. "Crees que soy un monstruo ..." she mumbled.
[OOC:] "You think I'm a freak..."
