Mary Louise closed the door quietly, she had blood splattered on her face and covering her hands. She sighed before using the cuff of her sleeve to wipe it from her forehead and proceeded to exit the hospital for the mentally disturbed. "Mare?" A voice caused her to look up from the floor, Nora was stood before her. "What the hell have you been doing?" She snapped, gesturing at the blood. Mary Louise checked a room before pulling Nora inside.
"I'm sorry," She started. "I know you said it couldn't possibly be her but-" "Did you kill her!" Nora interuppted, looking furiously into Mary Louise's sad eyes. "Yes. I did. And not to gloat but I waited a short while to witness her old corpse disappear into smoke and transform into the body we know and loathe." Nora's expression changed to shock. "Then what did you do!" "I killed her again, she wasn't quite aware of surroundings which gave me an advantage." "Is she permanently dead now?" "Yes, after another 4 reincarnations."
Nora's heart raced, "Mary Louise she could have killed you!" Mary Louise looked away from Nora. "Well she didn't," She paused as a tear fell down her face. "I couldn't risk it, I couldn't risk her hurting you." She brought her head back up to look at Nora who refused to meet her gaze.
"You'd risk your life for me like that?" She whispered. "Always." The silence loomed between the two, Mary Louise blinked hard. "I'm sorry about everything that happened between us, it was just hard to believe such harsh truths about someone I valued so dearly. But if I could take it back I wouldn't choose to believe him but to believe you. I love you, I understand if you need more time but I will not let you go."
She turned her head towards the floor again. "Thank you, I should've understood why you did side with Julian and for that I'm sorry too." Nora whispered softly with tears in her eyes. Nora moved a few strands of hair from Mary Louise's face. "You're so beautiful." They stared at each other, their eyes gleaming with tears. "Let's go home, Mary Lou." Nora stretched her arm out, Mary Louise took her hand in her own bloody one and locked their fingers together.
They walked over to Nora's car and sat inside. "Where exactly is home?" Mary Louise asked. "Where ever we want it to be, let's move away from this awful town." Nora took Mary Lou's face in her hands, "We'll go back to my dorm tonight." They both had wide smiles across their faces, Nora drove them back to Whitmore.

Mary Louise exited the dorm bathroom, she had washed all of Reyna's blood from her hands and face. Without any warning, Nora appeared in front of her and rested her hands on her jaw and cheek. Mary Louise placed her hands on Nora's hips, unaware of what was going to happen. "I don't need any time Mary Lou, I love you." She looked into Mary Lou's eyes and inched her face closer until they were only centimetres apart, pressing their bodies together.
Nora closed her eyes and pushed her lips into Mary Louise's, kissing her passionately. Mary Louise wrapped her arms around Nora's neck, pulling her even closer and kissing her back with as much passion. Nora broke away and pushed her into the wall before connecting their lips back together. She moved her hands all over Mary Louise's body, pulling her clothing off before sliding her hands as far down her legs as she could reach. Mary Louise began to gently remove Nora's clothes but was slammed back into the wall. "Mary Lou stop holding back, I want you in every way I did before so please stop handling me like a fragile toy." Nora looked down at her girlfriend's naked body and smirked.
She was taken aback when Mary Louise grasped her face and crashed their lips back together. She began tearing off Nora's clothes until there was nothing covering her body. They pushed their bodies together and their skin tingled at the familiar feel of each other. Mary Louise pushed Nora back onto the bed, straddling her. She moved her hands down to pin Nora's down and began to kiss down her neck.

The sun pushed it's way through the gaps in the curtains. Nora's head was rested on Mary Louise's chest, her limbs were wrapped around her body. Mary Louise's hand was resting on Nora's back, her fingers trailing up and down her spine. "Cuddle me back or I'll make you." "Good morning to you too." Mary Louise turned on her side and took Nora in her arms, she kissed her on her nose and placed her chin on her head. "I love you." Nora mumbled. "I love you too." Nora brought her lips up to meet Mary Lou's, softly kissing her.
