Lady Paulson one shots...pt.2

I know what you are (pt.3)

It's been about a week since I've been in the coven. Isolated in my room trying to get a handle on my abilities. I used to think I had them under control before I arrived here but I was so wrong. Now more than ever I feel they are spiraling out of control. I haven't fed since I've been here. Just Cordelia giving me hunger suppression potions that barely seem to work.

So, here I am, sitting on the floor. Eyes closed, counting my breaths and trying to recenter myself. My senses seem to have heightened this past week. The feelings of the girls walking past my door is something I've grown accustomed to. But when she walks by...that draws the hunger out of me. I groan and look out towards the window it's nighttime. I contemplate jumping out the window and attacking the first person I see but quickly shake that through from my mind.

I turn away and close my eyes. A deep sigh escapes me as I work on finding some sort of peace of mind.
Run.
I ignore the thought.
Run.
My breathing starts to escalate slowly.
Run, run, run.
My mind begins repeating. I Shake my head and focus on the deep rise and fall of my chest. My senses seem keener. I can hear the hushed whispers from down the hall. Zoe's voice whispering to nan that it's
"past midnight we have to go to sleep"
My mind is occupied for a moment before I hear it. So quiet I barely caught it. A muffled moan. Cordelia. My mind begins to wander...thoughts of ripping off her silk nightgown and taking her whole. Mind and body.

RUN! NOW!
My eyes snap open and I think no further before I open my window and jump from the second floor. My long black robe floats in the air and as I meet the soft ground it drapes around my body. My heart is racing and my mind is screaming at me to feed. I wander the street for a while searching for an ample victim. The cool night air soothing my hot skin.

Nan POV:
"Zoe I can't sleep! I'm hot and can't get comfortable" I say. Zoe sighs and tells me to remove the blanket or stick a leg out. I groan and do as she says deciding kicking the entire blanket to the floor is the best option. Finally I can get some rest.

Run! Run!
I'm running down the street it's dark and cold my bare feet pad along the cold cement. Everything smells so good. I can hear the breathing patterns of people I can't see. A shot of adrenaline runs through me as a woman stands on the opposite side of the road and waits for her taxi. In a flash of a second I'm on her side of the street. I touch her arm and watch as she follows my lead into a dark alleyway. Her gaze is one of a lost puppy following his favorite chew toy. "Run." A familiar voice tells her and as if she's come to her senses she begins running down the dark alley.

A dark laugh escapes me but it's not mine. The poor girl doesn't get very far until I'm on top of her and draining her of all her Chi. The girls green eyes wide and terrified. A powerful surge shoots through my body and once the girls is pale and limp I stand and look up into the night sky. Ragged and rushed breaths escaping me.

I jump up out of bed and see Cordelia stroking my cheek shushing me "it's okay you're safe you're right here with me in the academy." I see Zoe sitting opposite Cordelia eyes wide. Tears roll down my face "she did it again" is all I say before rolling over in bed and bringing the blankets up to my neck. I tuck my knees up to my chest and continue to cry.
I watched y/n kill an innocent girl.

Cordelia brushes a strand of hair out of my face and sighs as she stands "watch her please" she says to Zoe before exiting my room.

Cordelia POV:

I walk to the end of the hall and enter y/n's room not even bothering to knock. Just as I suspected she's not here. Her window is wide open the breeze blowing the curtains into the room. I sit on her bed and wait for her to return.
—————-

Y/n POV:
"Shit shit shit" I mumble as I step back from the girls body. "Fuck!" I turn and sprint back to the academy. My regained speed and strength carried me back faster. As I reach the academy I look up to my bedroom window, it's still open. I jump and land in the window sill. As I look up into my dark bedroom the streetlights illuminated a figure sitting on my bed. The blonde hair and fair skin immediately giving away who was waiting for me.

I step into the room and close and lock the window behind me. I take a seat on the sill and wait for her to speak. "Where have you been?" She asks. I swallow I feel her energy as it pulses around the room. "Out." Is all I can manage. Delia hums "out." I nod and bite the inside of my cheek. Delia stands and stalks towards me. With each step her aura and scent infiltrated my senses. "Don't. step any closer." I warn. She takes a step back and watches as I control my breathing.

Once I've calmed the hunger pains I look up to Delia "I'm sorry." Cordelia nods "where is the body?" I sink my head and feel the tears roll. "Y/n. Where is the body?" I sigh "The alley just a few blocks up. The one with the axeman grafiti" Cordelia sighs and turns away from me beginning her way out the door. She spares me a glance before she shuts the door and leaves.

I break down in quiet sobs as soon as the click of the door reaches my ears.
