Save Me

We found Lily on the floor of the kitchen. Her face and hands were covered in blood and the fridge lay ajar. I went to close it but saw another note pinned to the inside.

Sorry, Hungry

I chuckled and pulled out the note. Bloody fingerprints were all over it and I felt my stomach grumble. I opened the freezer and pulled out a blood ice pole. Lauren's idea.

Crow grimaced at my choice of snack and gave Lily a kick. She woke and screamed at the state she was in. I rolled my eyes and hide the ice pole before she could see it. "Hey, calm down" I said in a soothing voice "It's okay. You never hurt anyone" She looked down at my bloody shirt and back up at my face "Nobody got hutt" I reassured her and she nodded.

Her golden eyes were filled with tears and I wiped them away "Go get changed and we can leave for school? Ok?" She nodded again and I pulled her off the floor and pushed her gently towards the door.

I groaned once she was out hearing distance and grabbed my melting ice pole. "I suggest we just kill her. I can't deal with this. Lauren's still in there, maybe she'll come back as herself?" Crow shrugged.

I shook my head "Or she gets sent to heaven and we never see her again. It's too risky"

****

Four outfit changes later and we finally left for school. RE was first and hopefully Lucifer would have a clue what to do. We practically dragged her to class and had to hold her in her seat as she started to freak out.

She wore a pair of jeans and a long sleeved blouse. Everything else was apparently inappropriate. I had laughed at that and she glared at me. Lauren was definitely still there.

Her leg was bouncing under the table and making an irritable tapping noise as she hit it off the table. I, as calmly as I could, pushed her leg to the floor and held it there.

Maia came in and smiled at her before sitting down across from Lily. She glared at me and I held my hands in the air. Last but not least, Henry walked in and sat down.

Crow gripped the table and, if looks could kill, Henry would be more than dead. "What the fuck did you do to her?" He hissed between his teeth.

Henry chuckled "Nothing. I just fixed her"

Maia sighed "Can't we just do a normal class in here? She's fixed and that's it. Frankly, I like her better like this"

I looked at Lily as she stared at the table. She was biting her lip nervously and picking at her nails. "Why?" I asked.

Maia looked at me as if I'd grown another head "Because she's normal now! She seems good!"

Crow groaned "That's the problem. Lauren isn't good"

"Well she can't be hanging about with a poltergeist and a vampire" Maia exclaimed.

Lily's eyes widened "What?" She asked. Her mouth opened to scream and Crow grabbed her arm.

"Scream and I'll rip your tongue out" he warned. 

"That'd probably make her scream more" Henry added.

"Let's test that theory then" Crow smirked and Maia jumped to her feet.

"Stop! What the fuck is wrong with you guys!" She screamed.

The class fell silent and I started to laugh at her outburst "Congrats Maia. Does that feel better?"

She stared at me in confusion again. She must have been expecting a different reaction.

"Well. This is fucking stupid" a voice said. I turned and saw Lily smirking. "Hey bitches"
