Chase heard a voice, dimly, as though she was submerged underwater, her breathing was coming in shallow gasps now, her head was pounding, and she could hear a voice.. he was demanding her attention. Her eyes were closed and she felt her lungs searing. How long had she stopped breathing? She didn't know, but she took a deep breath and relieved the pain in her chest, only to hear Calvin speaking to her again. Speaking about how he wasn't the best wizard, but he believed in her. Those words of encouragement were enough to get her to open her eyes and slowly sit up, weakly. She was in his arms, drawn close to his chest, her head rested directly over his heart, and she listened to the frantic ba-dump ba-dump. Over and over again, willing it to calm down and rest for a bit, it would get tired if it didn't take it at a steady pace. Her hand came up and lay gently against his chest.
Chase's hair had decided to get pretty crazy, and it was suddenly getting longer, falling across her face, and getting longer then it had even before Barker had gotten her. It got long enough almost to reach her butt before it stopped, leaving Chase looking like she was simply covered in blood, head to toe, in blood that brushed away with a stroke of her hand, blood that was only hair, but left her skin looking paler for it. "Calvin..." Chase whispered and suddenly she sat up frantically. Her eyes snapped open, and she yelled out, suddenly struggling against an unknown foe. She screamed and kicked and flailed against it, fighting for her life, fighting against something only she could see.
Chase rolled off the bed and stood panting, a wild look in her eyes. She grabbed at her hair, and cried out, falling to her knees. "Get out! Please.. get out of my head! Make it stop! Make him leave!" She was sobbing frantically as she curled in on herself. "Make him go away! Make it stop!" She was shuddering so hard that she fell into a coughing fit, her heart beating wildly. "Get out of my head!" She yelled, rocking back and forth on the ground. "Calvin! Please! Kill me! Make him stop it! Kill me and end my suffering please!" She was sobbing in pain and emotion. "Please! Please... please.." she sobbed the same word over and over, rocking back and forth, tears flowing down her face, clutching at her shirt, ripping holes in it with her fingernails, and where there was no clothes, she was ripping holes into her skin, causing blood to well up, but she obviously didn't feel that pain. "Calvin! I want to listen to you! I want to! But he keeps screaming! He keeps screaming and I can't hear! Make him go away! Kill me!" She was sobbing uncontrollably now, hands searching for anything that could end her misery, eyes wide open. She looked like a mad woman, sitting on the ground, searching for something, and anything that would end her suffering.. if she had to do it herself.
