Chapter 46
Raelle walks into her stared room, the lights were out. But that doesn’t bother her. She just closed the door behind her, walked over to her bed that she stared with Tally. Tally being on the top bunk and Raelle being the bottom. She raised her head on the Tally’s railing.
She finally allows herself to feel her emotions. She didn’t allow anyone to see her break. Talking about the witch plague had brought up a lot of memories. Izadora had asked her a question just at the end. She had opened a can of worms.
She couldn’t remember the Question but it led to her telling them about her investigation. On the witch plague. To the crimes that involved the Witch plague. To her own reliving of it. Mainly the highlight, she still couldn’t speak about everything that happened with her time with the Camarilla. And of the differences there are, when it comes to the black liquid itself. This, all because of a question.
Her hands were shaking or was it her body she couldn’t tell. She does know how long she was there for when the light turned on. She didn’t move too tired, to. She could hear the yelping of shock from Tally. Soft talking but she didn’t have the energy to speak or even move from her spot.
The meeting, forcing her to relieve such dreadful moments of her life. A memory flashed through her mind making her shiver. Nearly collapsing but somehow, she didn’t. Her legs were locked in place, her forehead on the bed frame.
Tally walks over to her without questioning if she is ok or if she needs a hug. She just know that she needs someone, not to ask questions or push for her to open up but just be there. There were just things some people know. This was one of the times Tally shined through.
"I can't sleep," Raelle whispers. The first words she said since leaving the meeting. Which again she does know how long ago that was.
She just knew she had to help her. So again without saying anything. Pulled away, and slowly putted Raelle away from the bed. Turned her around and sat her down on the edge of her bed.
To try to fight back she just allowed Tally to do her thing. She didn't take in her surroundings if she did, she would have seen Abigail getting changed into her PJ'S.
Tally sit down in front of her and removes her boots. And then removes her belt, trousers and her jacket. She then gets herself ready, but getting into PJ’S.
Once she was done getting herself ready, she came back to Raelle. Climbs onto her bed and pulls Raelle back and down. So that her head was resting on Tally’s chest. Abigail at this point walks over knees down beside them. And start rubbing circle on her back.
After a little while of Raelle fighting it, like a toddler when they tried but don’t know how to just sleep. But at some point she grows heavy on Tally’s chest, telling her that she was asleep.
“I think she a sleep Abi’s”
“How did you know that would work?” Abigail whispered back, still kneeling down. Not ready just yet to move.
“My Mum or aunt. May, use to do that with me. When I couldn't sleep.”
“Why couldn’t you sleep.” she wonders out loud.
“I’m a knower, Abi’s. Before coming here it wasn't my first time having trouble with my vision. Growing up, I had nightmares of people further. It was horrible. It doesn’t happen anymore since I had training but still.”
“I’m sorry”
She leans over and kissed Tally's forehead. Seeing her smiling more and a little twinkle in her eyes. She is about to speak.
“don’t, overthink. This”
And finally moved away, turning off the light as she climbed into bed.
“Night Bells”.
There were three taps on the door. Telling them that Bells was outside. Protecting them as they sleep.
Want there didn’t know, Olly human shadow had taken over so that he could sleep himself. But still in distance if anything did happen. Which was next door, with his door open.
****
It was the morning. She turns over and notices that both Tally and Raelle were asleep together in Raelle’s bed. It wasn’t the first time, and she knew it wanted to be the last. Some nights when Raelle is with Libba or Scylla or both, she would sleep with her.
She craned around and checked the clock.
‘Well i could train for a few hours before normal hours’
Abigail quickly put on her jacket as she opened the dorm room door. There with a shy smile was Adil. He looks like he was about to knock on the door but she beat him to it.
“Adil” she says surprised before stepping out into the corridor.
“Hi, I was wondering if I could give you a jailbreak. And take for a walk and maybe have our date that we have been talking about.”
Her face morphed with different emotions. Remembering that they talked about having a real date. But that was before her cousin's wedding. Before she was attacked, before she saw so much blood. Before it filled her nights.
Adil placed his hand on her arms drawing her back. She shakes her head a little, removing the image out of her head. And smiles at him.
“I would love that, Adil”
Bells watches from his room, the lights still off. So they didn’t notice him. He quickly farspeach to Olly. To send his human shadow back and to follow them around as he was going to tick around with Tally until all of them join back up. And they could leave.
Olly agrees with him, and sends off his human shadowing, telling them he was still in the infirmary. After not founding Lt: Grey. He stayed close to Scylla. And Libba unit. Mostly Toot.

Tally wakes up First, she checks on Raelle, with a little sigh of relief she is still asleep. She looks over at Abigail's bed to see it empty.
“Raelle” she whispers while nudging her awake.
Rubbing her tired eyes, Raelle looks up at Tally. And could tell by the little frown across her face that something wasn’t right. So she just asks, “What wrong”
“Nothing”. Tally fired back out of reflects.
Raelle pushes herself up to a sitting position. She looks over and notices Abigail abscess and farespeech. Quickly finding out from Bells and Olly she had a breakfast date with Adil.
“She is with Adil, some kind of date.”
Tally letting out a sign of relief. “She's going to have a lot of energy today then.”
Raelle leans down and kisses Tally tenderly on the lips. Without thinking Tally deeps the kiss, tilting her head to the side. Her hand wrapped around her neck. After a little make out. Raelle pulls out needing to breathe.
“Feel better, now you're charged up a bit. ”
Tally couldn’t help but chuckle at that. Raelle move away, breaking the hold Tally had on her.
“Thanks” Tally says after sometime.
Raelle, Climbing out of bed, she looks around the room for her stuff. Founding at the foot of her bed on the ground.
“Anytime” she say giving Tally a wink.
Tally just looked at her stunned by that statement. Which Raelle noticed.
“Tally, everyone needs a boost, you're hot. I have eyes. But if that is not what you like. Bells might be up for the long road. Not just a charge up.”
With a little blush Tally climbs out of Raelle bed. “You think”
“I saw how you both looked at each other when you first met. Even if he says no. There is no harm asking.”
“Does he have anyone at home?”.
Raelle pauses for a second, secretly asking Bells that question. After a moment he comes back saying no. He has a few charge ups but that's all, he sees them as.
“He doesn’t have anyone, but you should definitely ask him yourself.” she says, trying to hide her grin off her face.
“Come on, tell get food and then afterward. We can do some training.”
So they quickly get dressed and head off, followed by Bells. Raelle catches his eyes and directs them to Tally beside her. His eyes widened but only for a second as he put the dots together. And then a shit eaten grin appeared across his face.
-Tally like me- He farspeech Raelle.
Who only wrapped her arm around Tally and whispered something in her ear. Getting to blush once again. And to turn her head a little to see him. Quickly turning around once making eye contact.
Which made both of them blush and turn their gaze. They are both new at feeling affection toward someone. Tally with a broken heart from Gerit. And him, the hell the Camarilla and the army had put him through.
They move on toward the food area for breakfast.

“that a lot Ana”
“I know” her head was down, her neck brace digging into her skin. But she didn’t care right now.
“So your Spree.” she pondered a little before saying “We have to tell Alder.”
That got her looking up.
“We have to, you being in the inside, you could help bridge the gap. Stop Spree form attacking other witches or all together and join us. Know that the Camarilla, a witch hate group has returned.”
