Chaos Reigns

Restless Night

I woke in a chair the next morning, nothing prompted me to do so. Nothing foreign, nothing strange... no one yelling, no one pulling me from my-- seat. No sudden burst of light, nothing but the call to empty my system and change sleeping positions - which I had found I was sleeping on my seat, at the desk, hair sprawled out and now a complete mess, I had... allowed some of my saliva to escape my mouth while I had slept, it coated my notebook, which had a damp patch on it.

As of now, I couldn't care. I didn't want to care because the urges were getting stronger now and I sought it best to do it before I couldn't hold it in any longer, I swiftly stood and walked over to the facilities, a bit drowsily undoing my outfit and reliving myself. I more than likely had to go see Piper to day, to see her condition, she would have to fight and I wasn't sure if that was wise... her shoulder need a wide range of motion, but with this injury she might not have it.

Yes, there are chances that I missed the joint in her shoulder, but I wasn't counting on it. So, until it was healed (doesn't have to be fully), we could start up once again. As far as progress goes, she's impressive with her staff, she's getting the hang of forcing things around... I'm debating whether or not to teach her the mind trick... she already seems to have mastered blocking it, which is considerably impressive.

And as that goes, I am her mentor and more powerful than her...so, I don't necessarily have to go and see how she is doing, that would lower my chances of getting hurt because of her.

That option seemed like a great one, weighing heavily on my shoulders, I am exhausted from... I don't know... whatever was causing my exhaustion, I've decided that sleep is of my best interest. Which made me turn my desk light off and then slowly advance towards my bed, I would've arrived, had it not been for the soft whine coming from my door, I paused after a second and waited to see if the noise would occur again. It did, louder this time, seemingly more urgent. I knew who, rather, what it was. Begging to be let in at my door, I knew this damned animal was relentless when it wanted something unless you yelled at it to go away, it'd come back and continue.

Sometimes, I wish to kill it, I am sure Hux does as well. But, we both made the animal's owner a promise to not injure the animal in anyway, though I'm sure Hux may or may not have kicked her once or twice, nothing Piper doesn't do.

I sign through my nose and clenched my fists, all I wanted was to sleep so that perhaps, a little bit later in the day (or in the morning) would be better, so that I'd be well rested with my head screwed on properly.

I didn't want to snap at my apprentice, it'd just put more stress on us both and I know we both didn't need that, she just needed to heal without anything to prod at her mind. Hopefully, our dear General would realise that I needed my sleep and wouldn't come to wake me for some matter that could wait.

With a sigh, I realised that I should open the door and let the animal in, Jasper was it's name... I think. I'm not a hundred percent sure if that is correct or not, but it is what I will assume until told otherwise, my legs carried me over to the doors, where I pressed the button to unlock it, the doors slid open with a hiss - tilting my head down, I saw the animal sitting there with one of its ears flopped over and it's head cocked to the side as if it was expecting something from me.

I growled at it just slightly, my one eye narrowing (still had a bandage on all of my wounds) before I stepped into the side to let it in.

The animal stood up and wagged it's tail before trotting inside my dark room, making it even darker once I closed the door and locked it.

I was skilled at being able to see in the dark, though the animal had dark fur and wasn't as tall as my knees - I also had been focusing on my bed, which looked like a cloud right about now, a very dark and... silky cloud... exhaustion pulled at my mind, which resulted in my accidentally running into the animal, who stood by my bed.

A yelp, a rather loud yelp, came from it's lips as I stepped on its paw and then tripped over it, falling on my bed with a grunt. For a reason unknown to me, I panicked slightly and forced it's mouth shut so no further noise could be emanated from its mouth, "Shh," I shushed it, holding still for a brief moment as if expecting Piper to burst through my door and scream curses at me. But, nothing happened...

My mind had been toying with me, expecting a normal reaction from her... But I got none. So... I allowed my body to relax as I elected the animal up and set her on my bed before pulling her close to my chest as if she were a stuffed one and just held her there, willing my breathing to calm, and my mind to stop racing. It was going to be okay...

It would be okay, Piper would be fine, she would wake up in the morning and be back to her own self... or so I tried to tell myself; but fear in my mind is what told me otherwise, what kept me from believing that everything would be okay. I hated this feeling of distress... how it pained me to feel this way, to worry for the sake of another human being... this wasn't who I was supposed to be.

And damnit... Piper was forcing an imprint among me. I fear that Snoke will take notice of what I have been trying to deny all along...
