Clock Tower

"Rainbow!" He hugged Xander for the brilliant idea. "You're amazing."

'I know.'

ooc -starts chanting- diediedieidiedie. 

He felt the urge to cough and so he turned his head away from Xander and coughed. Blood came up and splattered on his shoes and pants. "Dammit," he muttered.

Xander froze, a look of fear crossing over his face before he moved away from Teddy.

He was going to say something to Xander and brush it off but as soon as he opened his mouth blood splattered the ground. Lots of blood.

'ohgod oh god.' He backed away further. 'teddy....'

He continued to vomit and spit up blood. His mind was screaming at him to stop and comfort Xander, who was obviously on the verge of freaking out, but his body kept spewing blood.

You could almost see the shutters in Xanders eyes closing, stopping the world from getting in. 'Teddy. Im going to get help.' His voice was emotionless as he turned away. 'Ill be back. Please be okay.'

"No," he gasped, reaching for Xander. "Please don't leave me. I'll be fine. It'll pass." Despite his words though, he doubled over with another bout of vomiting.

'Im not going to watch you die.'
Without another word, he almost ran from the tower, yelling for help even before he had reached the stairs

He sat up and stared at the bloody mess that he had made on the floor. He wrapped his arms around his knees and pulled them up to his chest. He sobbed in embarrassment and shame. Things had been going so well and then he had to go and fuck it up by being violently ill in front of Xander like that.

Topher had been roaming around and saw Teddy and... blood?

"Dude!" He ran up to him concerned, "You cool?"

He looked up at Topher. "Huh?" There was blood drying on his chin.

"Oh maN! We need to get you to the hospital!" He started to pull at Teddy's arm to get him up.

His vision started to blur and his got really lightheaded. "Xander... He went..." He paused and spat up some more blood.

"Okay no more talking dude!" He took him in a hurry to the hospital wing.

OPC to the Hospital wing!

Solitude was always a place Crest felt at ease at, best able to think. He glared down the tower, postulating to himself why this Donia had taken such residence in his mind. She was like a nail in his brain, ever present and unresolved.

He couldn't have this uncertainty. He needed to put his confusion to rest. But how?

HERE COMES THE SUNSHINE BRIGADE

ic Meredia had her mahogany coloured hair practically bouncing behind her as she skipped into the Clock Tower, unaware of Crest's presence as she hummed to herself.

'It's so nice to be back!'

Crest looked over his shoulder at the sudden intrusion, his natural defenses going up as he raised his wand to ready for a fight.

But upon seeing Meredia, he pocketed his wand and stepped over to her, "You're back..."

Her head turned to the direction of his voice, but of course her eyes didn't focus on him as her humming stopped and she smiled broadly. 'Crest!' For a moment, she remained still, unsure whether to run over and hug him.

He put a hand on her shoulder, to show contact was welcomed, "It is good to see you again..."

'I wish we were back on better circumstances.' She wrapped her arms around him in a quick, tight hug before they fell back to her sides. 'How have you been?'

"Solidly not dead." That was as close as Crest got to 'good' it seemed.

"Why are these bad circumstances?"

'Good to hear.' Her smile waned slightly, but she tried to remain positive nonetheless.

'Weird things have been happening to us, to my family. It's like there's a big snowstorm hanging above our heads and it won't go away. Bryn suggested we come back here, maybe our bad luck will stop for a bit.'
