The feral girl was on her feet and helping Dawn to the bed before she could start to get the flashback under control. "Lay down. Is it warning pain or memory pain?" She helped the blond girl down onto the sheets and threw her eyes around the room, watching to make sure that nothing dangerous was around. Her mind ran quickly over an inventory as she abandoned any plans of leaving for the night. A wounded sister needed to be watched and cared for and defended, at least until the wound no longer stung.

"I am....ughh..." No I wasn't fine, i can't lie my way out of this. Sayuri obviously knows something is wrong by my expression. No i can't tell whats happening either, at least until it subsides. The pain was there, it actually got worse then slowly resolving itself like it usually does. This was odd, was I actually really being watched? "I-I can't...stay here...something is triggering this..." I tried to get up, but only fails and falls back down on the bed still clutching my head. What is going on here?!

Sayuri was back at the side of the bed before Dawn had a chance to finish bouncing. With a flap and a flutter, the cloak was shoved back to free the feral girl's arms, which she gently slid around the other woman and gently helped her up to a sitting position.

"I'll help you get to your room. If it follows you, there's a good place to hide near here you can tuck into until it passes," she said calmly as she resettled the older girl against herself and helped her slowly to her feet. She was strong enough to easily hold Dawn up in the event of a stumble, though she wouldn't be carrying her newfound friend outright any time soon.

I grasped my head and groaned gently, it wasn't getting worse, but it was still very extreme. Again all the images are not the same, they flashed over and over again, my motions feels very sluggish, everything at this moment feels slow. What was causing all of this? I never ran into this problem before, something WAS triggering this, "I...I don't know...what's...happening..." No, I have to stay as strong as I can, but I am near the point that I will black out.

I can only utter something under my breathe as my vision starts to blurr, "Y-You bastards..."

(Note, posted *double posted*)

The feral girl nudged Dawn carefully in the ribs with her elbow. "Stay with me. We have to keep going. I'll get you somewhere safe. Just keep walking. Keep walking." Sayuri continued to mutter that little mantra as she led her lover's sister's love through the dark, nighttime hallways and back to the room Dawn still kept. This wasn't good. She knew she could carry the girl if she absolutely had to, and there was a tiny gap between a pair of beams in the stairway at the end of the hall if she needed a den to defend the woman, but whatever was causing Dawn such suffering might not be the kind of thing she would even be able to stall.

"I think...whomever is doing this..might have over heard our, conversation...about leaving the island..ugghh..." My vision continues to blur, it didn't stop at all, the flash images did however, but the immense headache was still there, and there was no way to stop it. How are they able to do this? This isn't mind control, or else they would have done so already, so did they, do something to my mind? Or is this headache simply coming from a huge warning that is going on in her head. "Sayuri...you have to...leave me behind...I will...be fine...."

"No. Kim wouldn't forgive me." Sayuri settled the other girl briefly against a wall as she stepped away and shoved the door to the fire stairs open. Thankfully, they were a secondary path and not just an escape route, albeit a less used one. She propped the door with a crude edge, then came back to help Dawn further along. "Besides, if they come for you, they'll come for me, and this is the best hiding place on this floor." She pulled the blond woman behind her and into the confined gap between the beams and air conditioning ducts. Once Dawn was sufficiently hidden towards the back, in the darkest, safest place, the feral girl slipped away from her and turned to watch the entrance to the hiding place. "Relax. Do you need some water? Maybe something to eat?"

It feels like my head was pulsing, or at least from how I feel about it, all of the time during this, was just pure image flashing in my head. time seem to go on forever before it finally stops. Oddly enough by this time i was in this secret place where Sayuri has taken me into. I was finally able to sigh a relief, but my head still hurts from all of it. "That...was weird, I never gotten something so harsh like that." I grasped my head still before realizing i was in the dorms, or at least where I thought I was. I looked around and then to Sayuri and asked, "Where are we?"

"In the fire escape stairwell nearest your room. There's a gap between some equipment that they shunted over to here with only one exit." Brown eyes turned in the darkness and glittered slightly in the small bit of light reflected back and forth between the aluminum walls of the passage. "It's safe here, for now. Very safe. Only one way in, so they have to get past me first, unless they cheat and walk through the floor. You're not claustrophobic, I hope?" The question was more curious than concerned. Softly, something metal from beneath the cloak tapped on the metal at Sayuri's left, and the sound echoed down along a hidden duct throughout half of the stairwell.

I grip my head slightly and shook my head in response to Sayuri's question, "No...n-no I am not, I just have a very...bad headache right now." I can only moan slightly before rolling to my other side on the floor. So they were in a fire escape, maybe my hunch was correct, I was being spied on, but that can mean they heard what we were saying right? "I think someone heard what we were talking about. That's what triggered my flash images event, more intense then I ever had to tell you the truth."

The dirt-encrusted girl swore sharply but quietly and burrowed herself into the cloak. "Should have known. Never safe to talk. Not even safe to think around here. I'm lucky I haven't been expelled yet." She grumbled wordlessly to herself, shuffled about in her cloak, and smiled as she found something. She stood back up and slipped through the shadows back to Dawn's side, then pressed a half-empty bottle of pills into her hand. "Swiped that from the nurse's station by distracting them with a bleeding girl. Bitch wouldn't admit to the monsters, so she deserved to be a distraction. Any case, those knocked out my headache after I fell out of a tree, they should help with yours. Give them a try."

I took the medicine in my hands and smiled, maybe they will help. However my case is very unique and i really don't think a simple headache medicine will solve it. "I really never told you about my...daily problems have I? Or has Evy told you already." I asked quietly, there are very few who knows about my little secret, and the reasons behind my so called headaches i been saying so. They were just headaches, the headache itself it's just an after effect of what happened before. Only Kim truly knows what is going on, and for some reason Kim is able to subdue this problem. "I can tell you about it since, i think you deserve the right to know being the last of my Senior Classmates."

Sayuri smiled at the blond woman and bent down, then rummaged out a bit of jerky for the both of them and split it up. "Here, to help you swallow," she said as she handed a piece to Dawn. She crouched low beneath her cloak, the heavy fabric spilling out around her in all directions, and leaned forward to listen intently. She knew talking it out would help, as it certainly had with poor Michael, so she just settled herself in to listen to the tale as she thoughtfully chewed her bit of dried meat. At her back, the stairway was silent except for steady hum of the vents and the occasional echoing series of footsteps as one girl or another travelled through the passage, promising safety for a moment.

I look at Sayuri as she sits down and i do the same, "Thanks..." i responded after taking the jerky, but i put it on the side as well as headache medicine since i know it won't help. "I will take it, just not now...let see, where to begin..." I scratched my head, well only way to begin is the N.I.C.E. Labs part i guess right? "Let see, ok i remember the N.I.C.E. Labs doing sexual experiments on me, it's like flashing in between my eyes, before i know it, I was back on the campus." I hummed and looked up at the ceiling before going back to the subject, "I know i been taken away from the campus multiple times, i had no way to back it up until now, this time i came back with something more, something worse..." Ya it was something worse, no matter what anyone says, "You see, every day, i get what i call flash episodes, where i get to see...painfully what happens when i was gone... what the N.I.C.E. Labs did to me, each day, it's what been going on, whats triggering them i don't know yet..."
