Campbell Hospital for the Mentally Insane

[buildingaspaceship]

Conan looks down at her, what was she doing? He squints a little and sees that she's drawing, and he smiles, remembering yesterday in the art room. He looks back at her face, then he realised she could probably see him, so he stepped back from the window, he turns and looks at the piano on his door and he makes the connection, she had drawn that. He smiles, she probably didn't know it was him playing the piano. He walks over and grabs one of the books from his shelf, a book thats pages were plain aside from lines. Music paper. He sits down on his bed and opens it, grabbing a pencil from his bag, and he put it to paper. He couldn't draw, so that wasn't what he was doing, but he knew what he was doing, as he drew the correct notes on the paper.

"No his cheekbones aren't that big." She mutters to herself as she erases, then begins again. She looks back up at the window to see him gone and she sighs. She closes her eyes and pictures Conan in her mind, then she begins again. This time getting the cheekbones correct. His eyes were lifeless, like usual, and his hair was pushed off of his face, sticking up in a few places. "One for Conan." She says, drawing a scar on his neck. She made the scar barely visible, but it still looked like somebody had cut him there. She adds detail to his jaw before she sighs and lays down on her back, her flower crown now crooked. "One for Cassie." She says, taking her pencil and gently pressing it to her jugular, not enough to leave even a mark.

Conan completes his first line and puts his book down, he was bored again. He stands up and stretches, walking out of his room and down the stairs, he looked at the time, dinner was in half an hour. He sighs, he'd probably sit alone, unless he dare sit with Cassie. He sits down on the sofa and lays back on it, his arms behind his head and his legs spread out, it was very comfortable there. I miss Cassie, he thinks to himself and he frowns, he didn't want to anger Nyla again. Everytime he thought of her his cheek hurt more.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Cassie puts her pencil in the spiral of her sketchbook and begins to walk back into the living area. "Doe, a deer a female deer, re a drop of golden sun." She mumbles to the musical The Sound Of Music. She loved musicals, well, she loved anything with music. She walks to her normal corner seat and slips her sketchbook under the cushion. Dinner was going to be soon, but she didn't want it. She didn't like food very much. Probably because Nyla was always eating and it made Cassie sick most of the time. "Me, a name I call myself, fa a long long way to run." She continues the song.

Conan looks up at Cassie and he can't help himself as he holds up his hand and gestures her over. Maybe she wouldn't come, maybe she was going to let Nyla keep her alone, but then maybe she would come, and maybe Nyla would hurt him again. It was a risk, but he would take it. He didn't suppose it would really phase him either way, and if Nyla did hurt him again then he would just hurt her back, even if she was in Cassies body, he knew he wouldn't feel any remorse anyway.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Cassie sees Conan wave her over and a small smile plays on her lips as she grabs her sketchbook and goes over to him. She sits down on the ground, her back against the couch he was laying on and she turns her head to smile at him but she doesnt. "What happened to your face?" She asks him,vshe hadn't seen that when she saw him in the window.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

From that Conan realised that when Nyla was in control, Cassie wouldn't remember a thing, and he didn't know what to say. "Nothing, it was an accident." He lies. He never usually lied, but he wanted to spare Cassie guilt or any kind of negative emotion just because of something Nyla had done. He messes with the bandage, he didn't want to wear it, but he didn't know if he could take it off yet, or what he would look like when he took it off.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Cassie's eyebrows raise in worry, but she shrugs and opens the sketchbook to the picture of him. It wasn't finished all she had done was his neck and head. "How does it look?" She asks him with a smile on her face as she holds the picture up for him to see.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He looks at the picture and he grins, "Looks like a mirror," He tells her, "you're really good at art, Cas." He compliments, should he tell her he was the one who received the piano? No, no he'd wait until he'd finished what he was writing currently, and he'd play it for her, and he'd let her figure it out. He smiles, some of the people in the room leaving to go and eat dinner.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Thank you." Cassie says, a blush showing on her face and she watches as people leave for dinner. "Join me?" She asks. She wasn't going to eat, but she'd sit with Conan as he did. She closes her sketchbook and slides it under the couch where nobdoy would take it, then she stands up and brushes loose strands of haor from her face. Then she adjusts her flower crown.

"Of course," he says as he stands, he links his arm with hers and walks with her to the dining hall, sitting down in their usual place. Food was brought out after a moment, and put in front of them both. Looked like some weird soup. Conan tried his, it tasted disgusting, but he was hungry so he would definitely eat it. "What else do you draw?" He asks her, interested.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Many things. I'm working on drawing the hospital.. I might draw my roommate, maybe it will make her feel better." Cassie says remembering the way the girl shook and chanted. Cassie looks at the soup and her stomach makes a strange noise, so she pushesbit away from her. "I like to draw animals, too." She says, recalling the dead birds, most of the animals she drew were dead, but most of the animals she saw were dead so that's the only way she knew them.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I'd like to see your stuff sometime," he says as he tries more of the soup, before copying Cassie and pushing it in front of him, it was disgusting, he scrunches up his face and sighs, he would have to go hungry. He looks up at Cassie. "Lets get out of here, I've been bored all day, I want to do something." He complains.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Cassie nods and stands up, but she sits back down when she sees the boy that had tried to kiss her. Nyla must have had something to do with that, because he walked over to their table angrily. "What the hell?" He asks Cassie and she shivers with fear. "I don't know you." She says and he rolls his eyes. "You called me gorgous!"he yells and Cassie sighs. "That was Nyla." She says, and he looks confused. "You are Nyla!"

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Conan looks up at the guy and he feels anger flow through him suddenly, he grits his teeth. Don't do anything, he thinks to himself, but he looks up at the guy. He ungrits his teeth and adopts his favourite facial expression, a straight line for a mouth and unblinking cold eyes. Should he say something? He wondered what had even happened between them, other than the obvious. Nyla.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Look, sometimes I'm Nyla, but I'm Cassie. Please just leave me alone." She says to the boy and he gets angry. He grabs the hot soup and he pours it over Cassie's head, making her stand up with fire in her eyes. "Listen here you little twit! I tried to be polite but you've left me no choice!" She screams before pulling her arm back. The boy looked scared, seeing Cassie's normally innocent face twisted and dark. She looked evil, she was evil. He backs away quickly and orderlies take him away. "Damn, now I have to shower again." Cassie says wiping soup from her face, which was red with anger. She turns towards Conan and sighs. "Sorry you had to see me like that, I'm angered quite easily."

 

[HappyBeingMe]

((I have to leave now, I'm going to the festival))

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Conan glares after the boy, then looks at Cassie, his face completely changing back to a smile, his eyes still expressionless but not cold. "Don't worry, it's fine, I get angry easily too." He stands up and picks up the bowl the boy had dropped and puts it on the table, looking over Cassie. Soup was all over her, she looked quite funny, but Conan didn't laugh. "You should go get cleaned up," he says and he looks around them, then back at her. He'd wait for her to get cleaned up and calmed down, and then they could do something. He'd be happy with anything.


((Have fun!!))

 

[HappyBeingMe]

((I am so... Sorry... School has been awful, and I've been to depressed to get on. I feel so terrible!! But I'm trying to make an effort to get online at least every other day or whatnot.))


Cassie nods at Conan before walking away and towards her room. She quickly grabs a pair of sweat pants and a shirt that's sleeves went down to her elbows. She looks at her wrist and groans, terrible. She carries her clothes to the shower and she hops in. She washes the gross stuff out of her hair and off of her body before hopping out and drying off with a towel that was laying on a stack. She gets dressed before throwing her wet hair into a ponytail and jogging back towards where she had left Conan. Her bare feet making smacking sounds on the ground.
