Post Seven: This is getting out of hand.

[witchofthechalk]

[Maybe it's from living with Sophie for so long but Tiffany is cleaning. More specifically, she is trying to clean the blood. It's not going well. She may have some tears on her face. She may be a witch but she is only 13]

....I can't believe all this.

Why her?

[Daine heard about Sophie on the news and couldn't believe it. And so, she has made her way over to the Kirkland household, to see it for herself. She knocks on the door.]

Hello...?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[A few moments later the door is slowly opened. Tiffany is holding a rag in her hands]

Hello?

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

[And now that she's actually gotten there, Daine has become tongue-tied.]

I...uh. I heard what happened to Sophie. Is it true?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

.....yes.

Yes it's true.

...I'm sorry, did you know her?

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

Oh- yeah, I'm Daine, I live down the street a bit. Sophie and I met in the library.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Oh...I'm Tiffany....

I suppose I'm the daughter here.

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

I would say it's nice to meet you, but given the time and place...

[She spots the rag.]

Were you cleaning up?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Nodding as she asks the question and she pauses for a brief second]

....blood.

They...they didn't clean up after themselves this time.

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

[She frowns and looks down.]

They're horrible. Taking our friends away, people we care about, for no reason...

...d'you need help?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

...I'm...fine.

I think I'd better do it myself.

But thank you.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[Dragging her away.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Trying to get free]
Let go of me!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[Dragging.]

What the hell do you think you're doing.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Still trying]

I'm cleaning.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[oh you do not fuck with the british empire

His grip tightens on her wrist.]

No.

You're not.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Damn...]

Why not? Are we just going to leave it there?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Yes. Because you're not going anywhere near this.

[He hesitates, and then uses his sleeve to try and wipe around her face.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Why not?...I'm not a child.

[She moves his hand away and wipes her face with her own sleeve. She doesn't seem so confident as she did the day before.]

....I just...need to do something

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[Hugs.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Damit England, stop that....she tries not to start crying as she's hugged]

Why did they have to take Sophie?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'll keep you safe.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

....I know.

....do you think people believe ...I did that?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[He pulls her closer.]

I said I'd protect you, and I mean it with my life.

Even if it's against everybody else.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She sighes, why is everything going so badly?...and now Sophie was gone.]

I know you will....thank you.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Nothing's going to happen to you.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Just nodds]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Just leave the blood, all right?

Stick close to me. I can't lose you, too.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

....alright.

And I will.

[She's still trying to figure it all out but her first thughts keep getting in the way of her second and third...and Sophie is dead]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Can't lose you, too.

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

....did you know Sophie?

[bustydefense.livejournal.com]

Only a little.
