 She looked up to the queen with her aqua colored eyes. Her smile had faded as she rolled over slightly to face her. She didn't want to answer her question, she really didn't know how. But she spoke regardless, seeing that the Queen was someone she could now trust.
"He comes in my dreams, your Hime.. Even after he died, he still won't leave me alone.. I don't like my dreams.. " she sighed as she allowed a tear to fall from her eye. She acted younger then her age, most likely due to her sheltered past.
She sighed as she violently wiped the tears from her eyes, she wouldn't let the Hime see her cry, she had to be a big girl. She had to stay strong.

 She was surprised by Morrigan's change of expression, then wondering if she had stepped into an area where she shouldn't have. "Hmm...maybe I have an idea." She winked and tapped the girl on the nose with her index finger. "In order to go to class tomorrow, you need some rest, right?" Aurelia then stood up. "I'll be right back, don't worry." Summoning the wind to her feet she opened the door and went to her room, going as quickly as she could.
Upon entering her room she went straight to her closet, opening it up and grabbing her guitar. Then, the Queen went out of her room and closed the door behind her, arriving in Morrigan's room seconds later. "Sorry about that, but this won't work unless we have the guitar." Aurelia apologized. "Have you ever slept to a lullabye before, Morrigan?"

Morrigan's eyes widen at the Queen's disappearance. She wasn't use to people using their gifts so openly. She watched as she then returned, carrying a instrument. She tilted her head as she looked at her queen, obvious curiosity crossed her thin features.
At the question, she shook her head vigorously, causing the soft white tresses to shake and fall over her face. Her actions matched that of a 8 or 9 year old, hard to believe she was 12.
She fluffed her pillows behind her, so she could listen to the queens song, laying her teddy beside her as she did. It was apparent now that not only where her actions child like, but so was her body. She hadn't even hit puberty yet. Her body was awkward, knobby knees and elbows, flat chest, slender figure.
"No your Hime.. I have not.. "
Her mother never came to her room at night, the only noises she remembered was disturbing to recall. She blew at the white tresses that covered her face now, causing them to move just a little out of her eyes.

 Ken picked up his phone and read the text, and reread it again to make sure the message made it through. Was he doing anything for the Ball? Of course not. He simply planned on attending (while he would never tell anyone, he completely adored Christmas, so he wasn't going to try and mess it up). Sending a text back that said the single word that described everything: 'Nope.' Riku's eyes squinted as he felt steam literally roll off of him. Compared to the shivering cold he had earlier. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed was the birght light and white ceiling. The first thing out of his mouth was, "Heh, I died." Then he sat up to take in his surroundings that was the infirmary. Looking over he saw Jay, "Oh, hey Jay. Do you uh... know how I got here?"

Jay shrugged and looked at Riku and stood up headed towards the door. “No, I don’t... Now tell that vile witch you love that I’ve done some good... My last act of Goo...” Before he could finish he fell towards the wall, drifting into blackness. He had blacked out. The nurse who was sitting nearby reading a magazine rushed towards Jay and brought him to a bed as she began to run tests on him.

 She picked her phone up, reading the message. She typed her message out..
"Would you like to go with me?" she put the phone down, before sending the message, picking it back up, hovering her finger over the green send button. Debating on backspacing and putting in a new text, she sighed, closing her eyes she pressed send.. she felt her heart skip as she got the message saying her message had been sent.. .
Too late to go back now, Trey.. You can only hope he doesn't reject you..Great, good going! God you are a idiot! she cursed at herself, anticipation was beginning to get the best of her, checking her phone ever five seconds to see if she had a reply.

Ken picked up his phone and looked at the message, but, he ended up rereading it just make sure he read it right. Someone wanted to spend time with him? It was news to him, most people were too intimidated by him to even stand their ground, let alone ask him somewhere. Normally, he would've shot them down without a second thought. However, he owed Trey for earlier today. So instead of sending his 'no', he sent back 'sure'Riku didn't quite understand what Jay was talking about. What did he mean, his last act of good? And the vile witch he loved? If he was referring to Aurelia... there was nothing more than a friendship. Absolutely good friends, nothing more... although something inside him said there should be something more. He was about to ask what he meant, but Jay passed out and before Riku could do anything. As Jay was hauled off to his own bed in the infirmary, Riku hopped out of his and began walking to where he thought Aurelia might be, but, the nurse stopped him and put him back into his bed... But not before telling him to strip off his wet clothes... leaving only the boxers as the minimum.

Trey smiled as she read the message, re reading it to make sure that she read it right. her excitement only seemed to increase the more she read it. Sighing as she decided not to send a message back, he was most likely asleep anyways. So she put her phone beside her, plugging in the charger.
She closed her eyes, and was instantly asleep, a little later then she intended to be.
Trey wasn't even worried about Mandy as she drifted, she knew the girl could take care of herself... However that may be, she was still capable of taking care of herself.

Aurelia wasn't sure if she was happy regarding Morrigan. At that time her heart had lifted, the worries of the day dissappearing as she stood in the room of this little girl. An unknown and warm feeling went through her being, as if Morrigan was her little sister. Being an only child, Aurelia had never known this feeling, as if she would do anything to protect Morrigan, to guide her. "You haven't? Well then," She sat back down on the bed. "Something has to be done about that." Brushing back Morrigan's hair form her face Aurelia couldn't help but smile. She looks so cute! The Queen thought, bringing the guitar up and strumming it, tuning the instrument. "You will need rest for tomorrow, so I'll help you." She offered, then looked up to the ceiling, as if thinking of a song. "Hmm...there, I have an idea. Now," Aurelia turned again to Morrigan, pulling up the blanket a little as if to make sure the girl was snug and comfortable, "tell me if you don't like the song, okay?" Without further ado Aurelia began to sing softly.
Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes,
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don't let me drown
Let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go
Losing my control
I'm practicing your name
So I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right
To look you in your eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time
To tell you why
I say it's infinitely true
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everythings turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten
Every afternoon
Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
It's all because of you

The nurse kept fussing over Jay checking on his vital condition, monitoring his blood pressure and heart beat. Nothing had changed from when he had blacked out. She didn’t know what was going on, it couldn’t be the jaw, and she knew he had his pain killers. Maybe he overdid it and he was no on deaths doorstep. Shaking her head she stood up and walked into her office pulling out his medical records. She never really read them when he came in before, she didn’t need to, it was just a broken jaw after all, what harm could that cause?
As she began to read the medical history of her patient she noticed he had a case of rather frequent black outs, it always seemed to happen during times of extreme stress, anger or passion. Biting her bottom lip the nurse kept reading, she didn’t know what to expect with this one. She started to back track through the file, back to the very start. Around the age of three Jay witnessed his father being shot and killed. When he was finally found by a woman; Mandy Samaranda he was sitting with his knees drawn to his chest balling his eyes out some five blocks away. Whenever Mandy asked Jay what happened to his father he apparently kept saying “dead, killed, shot. Why he dead?” and again drew his knees to his chest.
After a few months of this Mandy decided to take him to a psychiatrist in hopes of fixing the boy that was now living as her son. For three months Jay was with the psychiatrist taking daily sessions. The psychiatrist tried to befriend Jay and get him to tell him what happened to his father. Yet, every time the question was asked the same response Mandy received was given. “Dead, killed, shot. Why he dead?”
Finally towards the last day of their sessions, the psychiatrist decided to push Jay a little more. Asking how exactly his dad died. Why they shot him. This didn’t go over well with Jay. The boy stood up and glared at the doctor, giving him a look of pure hate. Then, the boy spoke; however, the saying was not the same as before this time he replied. “I have ******** told you! They shot him, why don’t you open your damn ears and listen! You want to know how? Why don’t I show you then you piece of trash!” With that Jay lunged at the psychiatrist and began to stab him multiple times with a ballpoint pen.
When other doctors reviewed what transpired that day they all came to the same conclusion. The boy was stark raving mad. Yet, how couldn’t he be? He’d seen his father die, that would scar anyone. So, they let him going, with a few doses of medication thinking that it would help. But, like all doctors, they were wrong.
As he grew older Jay became colder and colder whenever someone mentioned his fathers name or even the fact that he had no father, often lashing out at them physically harming them in any way possible. Quite often those encounters proved fatal to the other person. Yet, Jay was clinically insane; he couldn’t be tried for murder. Then, around the child’s fifteenth birthday his mother or at least the woman he’d known as his mother from the age of three on died. Her ‘family’ informed him it was a job related death. Again this caused Jay to snap, within a week nothing left of the people that resided in that branch of her family he had killed them all.
When one of Jay’s mothers friends finally came for the boy as per the mothers request when she died he found Jay sitting in front of the burning remains of the family estate. Trying to pull the boy away from it Jay turned towards him and smiled rather evilly as he spoke, again his voice full of hate. “Oh, Nex you poor idiotic fool. Jay isn’t here anymore can’t you see that? He’s gone. Only I, Jason, remain and they will all pay, every last one of those mafia b*****d!” with that he burst into a fit of laughter.
Nex, having studied the brain and other such illnesses realized that yes, he was mad, but, he was not truly himself. Jay had what they called Multiple Personality Disorder. After seeing his father die the boys mind snapped in two; the kind caring innocent child and a cold blooded killer, bent on revenge. Nex sighed to himself as he brought Jay to one of his friends, a doctor of sorts for pills that he hoped would balance out Jay’s personality disorder.
The pills worked, however, Nex and Jay both knew that whenever he was stressed or truly angry they wouldn’t work for long and his other personality, Jason, would once again emerge.
The nurse dropped the records as she looked towards Jay’s body. His heart was still beating perfectly fine but now the boy was sitting up in bed looking right at her his eyes rather soft and sort of caring. “Jay, are you alright?” She spoke not moving towards him.
With a rather slight nod Jay spoke. “Y-Yeah, I’m fine.” He rubbed his head softly looking around. The last thing he remembered was being in Aurelia’s room and she rejected him. “s**t...” He muttered softly looking towards the nurse. “He came back didn’t he? Jason came back didn’t he?” As he spoke he dropped his head and began to cry softly.
((Hope you guys don't mind my wall of text. Kind of a character development post.))

Morrigan listened intently as Hime began her song, it sounding sweet, the words confusing her slightly, it didn't seem like a lullaby, but a song a lover would sing to the other.
This didn't bother the girl much, seeing she was mainly listening to the melody that soothed the girl, seemed to rid her of her demons, thoughts of the past, regrets of her decisions, bringing her to be more child like as she fell into a deep state of slumber.
Her dreams however, that was a different story, she fitted and stirred and her sleep, slight words escaping her lips as she did so. She wasn't a pleasant sleeper, which was why the school decided to make her the spade, so she could have her own room, that and her violet past, and the development of her gift added to the decision.
The light from under the door shadowed, he was standing in front of it again, listening, seeing if she was awake or not. Morrigan didn't make a peep, she was a big girl, and it was time to end this. Daddy wouldn't hurt her ever again after this!
The man came into her room, the sicken grin on his face as he sat at the foot of the girls bed, she tried her hardest to stay still, hoping that if he thought she was asleep he would just go away. However that was not the case, he ripped her pink quilt off from her, slowly making his way up to attempt to kiss her.
Morrigan screamed as he did so, the eyes of her dozen of dolls all glaring at the man. Her hand bumped the glass of water on her bed side table, she quickly focused all her energy on the glass, causing the water to rise from the glass.
Her father stopped in his tracks, looking up at the puddle of floating water, a look of disbelief on his face as it stretched, nearing the man. He slowly rose off her bed, his hands held up in fear of the ominous floating liquid. But it was too late, like a Syrian wrap, the water was around his head, special attention being brought to the mouth and nose area.
After a short struggle, her father fell to the ground, gurgles and sputters where heard as the water fell in a puddle under his face, the man was dead, the water had suffocated him to death, as he attempted to take his final breath, he ended up getting a lung full instead..
The girl only stirred and fight her sleep, she wasn't waking up, but she wasn't sleeping peacefully either.

At the end of the song Aurelia was happy that she had accomplished her goal of helping Morrigan fall asleep, but seeing the girl turn in her sleep bothered her. What could she be dreaming about? What could have upset her so? The Queen considered looking into the school files, since she was permitted to. However, upon some reflection she decided it would be better if Morrigan told the truth herself. Maybe, just maybe, it could help Haru give some closer on whatever was bothering her. Not knowing what else to do Aurelia set her guitar down on the floor, moving closer to Morrigan and stroking her hair, just as the Queen's mother had done to her as a child. "Shhh..." She whispered in the girl's ear in an attempt to reach her in the land of dreams. Aurelia could feel her fever coming back, and fatigue come over her body. Still, she was determined to help Morrigan, and she still had to deliver Riku's clothes.

After a few moments, her movements stopped entirely, she fell into the state of sleep that held no dreams. Her mumbling stopped as she lay motionless on her bed, the cool night air coming through what appeared to be a slightly ajar window.
It was apparent that the girl had settled down, the dolls seeming like ghosts of her past, they all had witnessed the deeds that where committed to the girl, the actions that caused her utter silence.

In the darkness of Tai’s room Mandy began to stir, she rolled over and looked at Tai. To bad he passed out, we could have had so much fun. She thought to herself as she slowly pulled herself up into a sitting position clenching the thin white sheet to her chest she looked around and smiled. She could get used to waking in this room. She slowly stood up and smiled to herself.
With a gleeful prancing Mandy moved towards the big bay windows which opened onto the balcony. Gingerly opening the doors she stepped out onto the balcony, the cold winter night air froze her slightly, yet she didn’t care. She was still on a high from having done what she did with Tai. Reaching behind her back she tied the blanket up, forming a sort of make shift dress. Again she smiled as she placed her hands upon the icy balcony wall.
Looking out on the school yard she smiled, the view was beautiful from here, almost romantic. She truly could get used to waking in this room. However, even though the view from the balcony was breath taking and awe inspiring she loved the view she woke up to in bed more; Tai. Every time she heard his name or spoke it softly to herself she felt as in her heart was flying away, like her stomach was filled with butterflies.
Turning back towards the room she walked inside, leaving the balcony doors open. Why not air out the place, after all, it might be getting a little hotter in there when Tai awoke. She kept walking heading towards the bathroom where she started a shower, dropping the make shift blanket dress she stepped inside, leaving the curtain wide open.

 Not too long before Mandy had popped into his shower, Tai himself got up. He had no clue Mandy was still in his room though. His memory a bit hazy, the only thing he clearly remembered was walking into his dorm, finding Mandy dressed provocitavely, and he himself blacking out. The fact Mandy was in his room in the first place was enough to startle him up, and the fact he was only in boxers was another. He scanned his room and when he didn't find anyone but himself he sighed in relief. It must've been a prank put together by teachers.
After putting on his glasses, Tai proceeded to put on a pair of casual jeans. After those were on, he noticed that he heard his shower running. Curious, he walked towards his bathroom, with the mindset he left it on from that morning, and he hadn't quite noticed it earlier due to the fact someone had been in his room. Without so much as a second thought he swung open the door, and saw Mandy in all her not clothed glory. His nose shot blood out like a rocket as he shouted "I'm sorry!" Before slamming the door, removing himself from the bathroom.
