-a few weeks later-

I snickered as Red tried to grab his cat, Liz had gotten fed up and told him to give the cats a bath or else. So I sat on his bed and watched, Earlier that day I had given Liz a haircut, making her hair almost like a pixy cut. Now she was sitting in a chair next to the bed, almost as amused as I was. Sighing I leaned back, three weeks, and now I was almost back to myself. A month and a half since Max kidnapped me for a few short days. I learned later that the short time I was awake wasn't the whole time. It had been five days, five days of my life I wouldn't get back. I was a fool to trust a random person i had met. Now when we went on missions I pulled my hair back and let everyone see my freak side. I was a freak, so why hide it.

" You are doing it again."

Blinking I realized that I had started to dug my fingers into my arm, blood was trickling down my arm, fire was surrounding my hands and crawling down to the bed. I broke the connection, Watching as the fire disappeared, the small half circles on my arm closed up. But the blood remained. Taking a shaky breath I smiled,

" Just thinking about the next mission, hopefully something good, not something boring like the Wendigo."

She shot me a sceptical glance, but then shrugged,

" Fine... Do you want me to do your hair?"

I shook my head, not wanting to speak now. I had to stop acting like this. I was going to worry everyone and they didn't need that. Getting up I smiled at Liz. I'm going to go and take a nap...Later. Hurrying to the door I couldn't help but turn around, Liz was watching me like I had lied to her...which I didn't, I was going to take a nap...maybe one that I could make last for a while. Hurrying over to the medical area I saw that no one was around I walked in, looking for my prize. Where the hell was the sleeping pills? Turning I spotted them on the desk, slipping them into my pocket i nearly screamed when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I immediately slammed my mind closed and let fire form on my hands,

" You didn't need to get so defensive Ellie."

Red said, placing his hand on my shoulder, turning around I smiled up at him, trying to hide my nervousness. That god he couldn't read my mind, that would be scary. I could do it a bit but not as

well as Abe, he was scary good.

" Yeah I know...I was just going to ask the doc for some pain killers, my head hurts."

He blinked,

" I thought they didn't really work unless you took the whole bottle?"

Shrugging I turned away, it wasn't like I was really going to take the painkillers, I was going to take the sleeping pills. It wasn't a big deal. I had taken them before when I was younger and less...me. Scooting around Red I hurried over to the door, trying not to let panic show on my face. Turning I hurried to my room, trying not to send signals of panic or stress. When I got to my room I was glad to see that no one was waiting for me. Turning and locking the door I let out a sigh. Maybe once I get a good rest I would be back to my old self.I just needed to get that asshole out of my head. Walking over to my mini fridge I pulled out a gatorade and pulled out the bottle of sleeping pills. The doctor said that with me I could take half a bottle when I was younger so I should be able to take the whole bottle without dying completely. Walking over to my bed I kicked off my shoes and then took a long gulp of gatorade. Sighing I popped open the lid of the sleeping pills and made the process of taking all of the pills. When the bottle was empty I set down both bottles and curled up in the middle of my bed, grabbing my pillow and hugging it. Closing my eyes I let the pills take effect.
