    Eli threw his bag on the ground by his bed as he sat on the edge, ready for some pathetic excuse of a strained lecture. "Elijah, mind telling me what that was all about?"
    "I told you not to call me that, Miles." Eli said with edge.
    "Do you think this is some kind of game? I pushed several buttons to get you into that school and you just throw it away for some folly?" Miles made gestures to emphasize his point. "You have to take this seriously-"
    "I'm sorry, but since when did you become my father?" Eli snapped, feeling his hand grip something on his night stand. "Believe it or not I am taking it seriously."
    "Then what happened today?"
    "Something that you wouldn't understand. Something NO ONE here would understand!" Miles could see the glint of red rimming Eli's irises. "I get that I shouldn't ditch and should have called you back I'm sorry. I get it's not some joke, but hell, nothing here is! I'm just a danger, aren't I? To every single thing I run into, I can't be trusted alone with anyone, can I? Why don't I sit and think about everything I've done wrong and what is wrong with me. Maybe I should chat about it to my schizophrenic partner!" Eli felt something crush in his hands and pierce into his skin, warm blood mixed with water running down his arm. He looked at it to see a glass cup in large shards in his hand.
    Miles sighed, not even bothering to ask how he managed to get a glass in here in the first place, knowing now was not the time. Bravely Miles held out his hand for the shards, "I just want to help you."
    "You come any closer, I swear to God I'll kill you." Eli threatened venomously. Miles kept his cool composure, but Eli could see he had scared him. Miles put one hand on his belt and the other went calmly for the glass, knowing exactly how this was going to go. Out of impulse, Eli lunged at him with a shard, but Miles grabbed that wrist and used his other shoulder to block the other arm. Using his weight with his shoulder the held Eli against the wall long as he struggled. Miles was quick to not waste time and pulled out a sedative. Next thing Eli knew was a sharp pain in his neck and the world going black.


    Eli's hand was bandaged up when he woke up later that evening. He studied his hand and groaned, knowing he had lost it again. Picking up his cell phone he checked if Fey messaged or called at all. His stomach fell when he noticed it was by now 10pm. Whatever they used on him must've really knocked him out. "Ugh... It's probably too late to call now." He looked at his bandaged hand again and sighed, yeah, this is definitely keeping me from school tomorrow. He thought bitterly.



    "A demon, Fey! He could have snapped your neck in an instant." Fey's mother scolded, "Even if you both have one, your demon isn't strong enough to save you from death!!! And then you shifted by the school! You're lucky you didn't kill anyone or thing there! If you can't stay in the human school, you'll have to learn here. And that prevents you from speaking to anyone in the outside world." Between her parents, Fey was getting chewed out to the point of nearly screaming, "I can control myself enough to stay with friends! I'm not that bad of a danger!!!" It was that comment that sent her to her room, nine thirty. The blonde plopped on her bed and angrily texted Eli, "Are you awake? I'm sorry if I got you into trouble." she grabbed a bottle of water and drank it in annoyance before standing and turning to her punching bag. Thud. Again, she hit it. After six of her strongest punches, the bag split under her hand, making her grimace in pain.

    ♥We all want a new car, a new phone. A person who has cancer probably only wants one thing... to survive. I know that a lot of you "who think you're too cool" probably won't re-post this. Put this in your signature if you care♥

    Eli winced as he tested the muscles in his hands. Luckily he hadn't cut a tendon. He replied:

    It's fine. I probably won't be able to meet up with you tomorrow, though.


    He sighed as he looked up at the ceiling as he laid in bed. Does she know? Was all he could think of. She must know. Gazing at his book bag he felt like school was a myth now. Everything he thought he knew was a lie. Deceived. Living with a demon all his life, and trying to live a life as a normal kid. Having an illness and having a normal life were both something that were some cheap costume that you could get at a thrift shop. "This can't be real... This can't be real..." My God, I'm going insane. I really am meant to be locked up in this damn mental institution.



    Fey frowned at the message before slowly texting back, 'I wouldn't be able to see you.... My parents aren't letting me out of the house because of what happened. Same for you?' She sunk down onto the bed and gazed at her phone, waiting silently for the phone to buzz, 'I'm sorry, Eli. It's my fault.' She wiped a tear away and shivered.

    Eli hesitated at the text. Of course she would get in trouble too, but he couldn't imagine what that conversation must have been like.

    They're just trying to protect you. And that's kind of the reason why I can't.


    Putting the phone beside him he exhaled and waited for the message. And then it showed up. I see things are working well for you, It said mockingly. Maybe you two are meant to be. After all you some how tend to make lives worse, even to each other. Holding his head with his hands he said quietly, "Please get out..." I am you. I cannot leave. You made me. Eli changed his focus to music on his phone while he waited for a responding text.

    'Protect me? They aren't letting me go because I'm a danger to everyone else.' Fey's fingers trembled as she texted this, pausing before sending it and then continuing, 'Some days, I just want to run away so I won't be treated like this.' She stood and changed to sleep, laying down with the phone in her hand, 'Will.... You tell me about yourself, since I can't sleep?'

    I know what you mean. I'd escape this hell hole any day if I could... And sure I guess, anything specific that you want to know? Other than I thought I've been living with schizophrenia since I was 7.


    He felt himself become nervous, I'm being so freaking paranoid about this. I should just tell her. Yet he couldn't find the will to pick up his phone a second time to tell her straight up. After all what would she say? She's been through worse, of course, nothing should surprise her at this point.



    Fey glanced down at the text, reading it several times, 'Schizophrenia? I didn't notice that..... It's probably just you and your demon arguing... But, does that mean that you're seeking.... For no other way to say this... help?' She paused, sending another quick text, 'Not that I mean to say you might need help, it's just what usually happens.... I don't really care what you tell me. I could tell you something and you can tell me something.'

    There was a long pause before Eli responded.

    Whether I like it or not, yes. But I wouldn't call it help. I'm guessing you saw Miles' window sticker already...


    Sighing he knew that this was topping off of the worst day ever. No one, absolutely no one knew where he lived and why except for school faculty. And here he was, probably punching Fey in the face with an undesirable fact.



    That pause made Fey worried as she stared at the text, 'I did, but not clearly. Eli, you don't need to tell me if you don't want to. I can tell already that you don't like to talk about it, and I don't want to press you, alright?' She texted this quickly and laid the phone down, staring up at the ceiling. What was that sticker for? He said he was getting help whether he wanted it or not...

    Eli was surprised with what she responded. He mauled over the thought of telling her when he came to a conclusion shortly.

    You would find out eventually anyways... The sticker was for Parker's Asylum. Miles is the one 'responsible' for me. I don't live with my parents because my dad is in jail and my mom doesn't want to deal with me.


    There. Short to the point. Just rip the band aid off, Eli thought bitterly. Then he sent another text:

    You got dirt worse or close to that on you?



    Fey paused as she read it, sadness flickering in her eyes before she shakily texted back, 'I'm sorry to hear that, Eli. I don't think you deserve to be in an Asylum, schizophrenic or not.... And my secret is worse..... I killed someone two years ago. It was an accident, but I still killed them.' She wasn't expecting a text back, so she continued on, 'I was walking home and a kid from school jumped me, started to torment me and taunt me. I... I shifted and I broke his neck. I was lucky to go back to school after that.' And there goes the only friend Fey had outside of her home. He wanted to hear something if it was worse or close to that.

    Eli froze with the text. He should have expected something like this, especially when she had to deal with a demon and animal instincts. But it was still murder; it was still a life that was taken. He looked at his hands in surprise that they were shaking, but not in horror... But something of fascination. No, don't you start thinking like that. But he understood where she came from. Hell, a lot of people could have been dead because of him, even Fey had he not been able to take control or someone stopped him. They both had the same hand to deal with. Taking a breath he slowly responded.


    Self defense can cause us to do unimaginable things sometimes. Especially for people like us. At least it wasn't in cold blood. I'm sure I would have ended up doing the same thing if nothing stopped me. But, like you said, it's not us, it's what's possessing us.



    Fey stared down at the text, tears streaking down her face, 'I didn't mean for it to happen... I didn't want that to happen.' She answered, curling into a tighter ball, 'If.... If you don't want to talk to me in any way after this, I don't blame you.' The small blonde turned her phone off to the point of not hearing it, crying softly.

    Eli sighed at the text, wishing he could comfort her better than just through text.


    Fey, I understand. It was an accident, it wasn't your fault. I would never abandon you like that over something that your wolf/demon side made you do. I know what it's like to lose control and making a huge mistake; so don't think for a second I could ever hate you for something like that.


    He hoped that she had received the text, hoping she could just know what he meant and that he said the truth in the right way. He kept thinking about earlier today when he was ready to crush her windpipe that would leave her gasping for breath until she could no longer remain conscious, or alive. The thought sent chills. He didn't need to hear the ominous companion to know that it was getting what it wanted.



    Fey sniffed, feeling the phone move, but she didn't glacé at it. He probably didn't want I all to her anymore because of what happened.... Making her cry a little harder as she laid there.


    Ooc:
    Sorry for the crap post.... I'm on mobile.

    [It's cool.]


    Eli waited for a reply, already knowing that he wouldn't get one. She killed someone... I can't expect her to just be composed about that. But it was still an accident, something that could happen to many people she knows.
    He deserved it. The voice hissed. She was a victim of his harassment that could have easily escalated to further torment. She had to do something. Self defense. He asked for it. The demon said the last sentence slowly so it could sink in.
    "No. No one deserves to die." Eli struggled to keep that motto in his head-- because he himself was fully aware of how many times he didn't believe that. So many people that have done him wrong, and he wouldn't hesitate to teach them a lesson if he didn't have a conscience. "No one deserves to die... No one.."
    Funny how you say that after you already attempted to murder Miles. It sneered. Eli immediately shut down the demon's thoughts and refocused on Fey's distress and her silence. Falling into his music he felt a wave of fatigue. It had been a long, confusing day, and rest would probably for the best... But he didn't want to have the nightmares again.



    Fey finally became brave enough to look at he text, slowly responding it, "I will never forgive myself.... I don't deserve a friend like you... You know you're my only friend, right?'

    Now don't say that, You deserve a lot better than me. And you're the only friend I got that understands-- well, makes sense of the whole thing. I'm sorry for bringing it up.


    Relief came to him with the text, along with sadness. But at least he had her talking. Don't get so attached. It won't last long. One day one of you will be the other's demise.



    'I don't want to have a friend who isn't you. You're different , and it's a good different. I like having you as a friend.' Fey texted back, curling up. Her demon decided to push her buttons, whispering that she wasn't worth it at all to have a friend.
