Jesus, cried Lily. How fast was he going? Max eased over to the side of the road and stopped. Gabriel hopped out, retching, then vomited up the coffee and liquor hed consumed earlier. Minutes that felt like hours passed before Max tossed him a roll of paper towels and a bottle of water. The room was large, but the sound of a Glock in any enclosed space was loud.The next one, Ill put between your eyes, Mr. Merck. Id love to see it. Tomorrow, maybe? If youre around. Samara felt a little more comfortable in The Scholar, with all the hushed talk of new bands and books, piercings glinting in the firelight, and the showing of tattoos, most of them marking virgin skin in more ways than one. The Kellys and the Vickis of the world wouldnt be seen in such a place, what with the graffiti scrawled across the walls and the tables worn down to the grain. Samara found it homely and honest, not willing to cater to those that valued image over good conversation. The jukebox, a small unit on the wall next to the toilets, was regularly updated, constantly playing the clienteles preferred mix of Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Ash, and out of place but familiar, The Carpenters. Sudden realisation made the hairs on the back of Shans neck rise like hackles. How he knew this he wasnt sure. Instinct, perhaps? Some insight lent him by the changes sweeping through him.

Thin lines streaked across Samaras eyes. She blinked them away, distorting the phenomena into fuzzy bars of static. It seemed the lines marked the journey of the blade. Her face burned, still feeling the tip slide through skin and separate the firm muscle beneath, transforming her into something…better? Her addled mind now struggled with the concepts.

Started groaning when she lifts herself out low seating and responding with elongated vowels to pieces of news. Shes already promised herself that if she starts to eat her dinner with a spoon or piss herself any more noticeably, shell chuck herself off the cliff without a backwards glance. Not yet.
