Chapter 29 - Frustrations of a Wolf

FLO POV

"I need concealer. I wonder if I can formulate something from the lab?" I mused to myself as I looked at the mirror in my bathroom. I noticed how pale I had become and that made the redness of my eyes even more prominent.

I missed the sun. I missed the feeling of warmth on my skin. I look like a ghost.

Well I can be a ghost. Figuratively speaking of course. Ghost are like a shadow of a person before and I feel like I belong to that category. Empty. Shell like.

"Zombie." I muttered and to uplift my mood I started to hum the song Zombie. "In your head.. What's in your head..!!"

"Brain matter." I heard Cisco's voice and I saw him leaning on the doorway. He narrowed his eyes at me as I splashed water on my face. "I really hate your hair."

"Aww you hurt my feelings." I answered throwing him the soggy towel after I used it. "Also this is a girl's bathroom. Although I know I'm a prisoner I do have some right to have privacy."

"Opps. You are a girl? I did not notice." Cisco answered evading another towel I threw at him. He chuckled as he backed out of my small bathroom. "I brought breakfast Flo. Hurry before I finish off the syrup."

I didn't answer him since I got lost in my memories of warm mornings, pancakes, coffee and -

Shut it down. Shut it down.

I gripped the sides of the sink as I tired to breathe normally and not alert Cisco. I know he meant well but I don't want people to comfort me. I will break down if that happens. Cisco is such a great person and I like him but I cannot get attached to him and Ori.

"Oh screw you Florence. Stop lying. You are attached to them." I said to myself glaring at my reflection. "You are making the same mistakes again you idiot."

I glared at myself hating how weak I was. How dependent I had become on Cisco and Ori. It's happening allover again but I know now what to expect. What I can do. And I swear I will change this part of my story's ending.

"Flo! I'm going to drink your coffee!" Cisco shouted.

"Don't you dare!" I answered splashing more water on my face. My eyes still look puffy but I think Ori and Cisco already know what I do at night before I go to sleep.

Who needs sleeping pills when you have sadness and loneliness to put you to sleep.
And those two, they just are being polite not to mention it. Or maybe they just find it awkward to bring it up. I bet my coffee that it's the latter.

I gave my face one last look before leaving the bathroom. Cisco was seated on the floor with a low table in front of him. Despite all the technology these people have I have no chair in my room. It can be a weapon or tool for my escape. Oh if they only know I have no plans.

I sat down on the other side of the table and smiled as Cisco pushed a plate towards me. It was indeed pancakes and Cisco had drizzled syrup all over it. I suddenly missed cooking – I wonder if Cisco and Ori would like what I will cook for them? If that ever happens.

"Flo." Cicso said and prodded my arm.

"Hm?" I answered as I sliced a portion of my breakfast. I prepared myself to hear his lecture of how I push my feelings away and all the etceteras.

"Are there any happy zombie songs?" He asked. I almost choked on my food at the randomness of his question.

"Why you ask?" I answered after I took a gulp of water.
