"Yeah.. Im almost there.." Karyme says as she speaks into the phone.

"..."

"Just leave the door open.."

"..."

"For the love of Selyna, no ones going to break in, Leony.."

"..."

"Fine.. I'll hurry.."

"..."

"Yeah yeah, see you in a bit."

Karyme hangs up the phone, sighing. She runs her band through her hair as she walks to the dormitories.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spots a figure that quickly disappears.

Karyme pulls her jacket tighter around herself and speeds up.

She keeps her gaze straight ahead, her hand slipping into her pocket.

She looks around, but sees no one. Normally, she would calm down, but with all the weird disappearances around camps, she isn't willing to take any chances.

Karyme keeps walking, really hoping that Leony left the door unlocked like she had asked..

A sudden grasp on her shoulder makes Karyme jump and spin around to face the figure she had seen stalking her in the shadows.

She pulls out her pocket knife and flicks it open, and barely manages to move out of the way as they swing at her with a weird-looking dagger..

The figure is dressed in all black, and in wearing a cloak that has some sort of symbol on it..

A triangle.?

Or an oval.?

...

No..

A diamond.

Karyme backs away from the figure, hand gripping the pocket knife tightly.

The figure slowly takes a step forward, and starts to whisper.

"..shes watching.." It whispers.

Karyme backs up some more..

"..she senses a disturbance.."

Karyme hits a wall, unable to back up anymore..

"..you are disturbance.. you are sin.." It mumbles.

It suddenly lunges at her, pinking her to the wall. Karyme groans and struggles against the person.

Karyme sucks in a sharp breath, and angles her leg to deliver a hard blow right into the figures ribs.

The figure releases her, and Karyme delivers another kick to its stomach, and without a second thought books it towards the dormitories, her adrenaline high..

__

Karyme pushes the door to her room open, gasping for air from the running.

She is quick to shut the door, finally feeling the adrenaline giving way.

She stumbles a bit to the couch, where she promptly collapses, sighing in relief.

Leony, Karyme's roommate and childhood friend, comes walking in from the kitchen.

"What took you so long?" She asks, a hand on her hip.

Karyme sighs. "..nothing.."

Leony frowns. "If you were with Kaiden just say so, Selyna knows we've all been there.."

Karyme groans. "I was not fucking around, if that's what you're implying."

Leony shrugs. "We're 16, Karyme."

Karyme rolls her eyes. "I'm painfully aware.."

Leony crosses her arms, sighing.

Karyme sits up, suddenly noticing a shooting pain in her stomach. She looks down and immediately feels her heart stop..

"Hey Leony.." Karyme mumbles.

Leony raises an eyebrow. "Hm?"

"What if, hypothetically.. someone had been stabbed in their stomach.." Karyme says slowly. "How bad would that be.?"

Leony groans. "You and your stupid questions.." She sighs. "But just to give you piece of mind.. it would be pretty bad."

Karyme hums. "Okay.. so then I'm fucked.."

Karyme motions to her hand which had been resting on the side of her stomach, which is now covered in blood.

Leony's eyes widen. "Karyme-"

"-it's a long story.." Karyme mumbles. "Just get the first aid kit, I'll live."

Leony groans in frustration. "Okay, no. Stab wounds mean hospital, not DIY."

Karyme narrows her eyes. "I know you mean well.. but I'm bleeding out, and I'd rather not do it on this couch." She explains. "We're temporary guests, and I'm not paying to wash the blood stains out of the couch."

Leony frowns, clearly upset. "You could die."

Karyme sighs. "..not such a bad idea, actually.."

"Karyme!"

"Sorry.. force of habit."

Leony groans into her hands. "Fine.. but don't blame me if you get an infection.."

Karyme hums. "Wouldn't dream of it."

__

"And.." Karyme mumbles to herself as she wraps up her torso. "Done. See, not so bad." She tells Leony.

"Still think the hospital would've been a better option.." Leony mumbles in response.

Karyme sighs, fixing her shirt. "Dont stress, I'll live through the night."

Leony smirks a bit, although it disappears instantly.

"..I'm holding you to that then, Karyme." She says a bit more light-heartedly.

Karyme nods, leaning on her doorframe. "And if I dont make it.?"

Leony shakes her head. "Then I'll see you in the afterlife and beat you up."

Karyme stops, sighing.

"..Toche.."
