Naomi was afraid. Not only was she afraid of these things, but... "J-Jinx?" She flicked off the flashlight as she was told. All movement in the room stopped. Naomi resisted the urge to whimper. Frozen in fear, Naomi retreated further into herself. What had happened to Jinx all of the sudden? She felt the little fire in her being suffocated by everything, but she fought. "Jinxy..." She whispered. "Where do we go now?" She moved toward the other girl. It was still her little sister standing there, right? The olive eyed girl looked her over. "Let me fix your shoulder..."
It adjusted to the dark quickly, moving towards the other. The important one. As soon as she was in reach It yanked her down a bit and hissed in her ear. “Quietly. This one saw. They react to sound and light. This one does not know where to go. You will follow it though, and refrain from touching them in any way. Now. Follow this one.” It didn’t have time, or sympathy. The important one was It’s priority. Pushing her ahead of It’s self, it guided her to a staircase and, when they found no way around them, killed the Nurse in their way with quick and cruelly efficient claws. “This one bids you enter here.” It whispered a short eternity later, pulling Naomi into a small room that looked like could have been a lounge or rest station for personnel.
Naomi had held the flashlight tight in her hand. Being a girl that wasn't skinny (anymore), but full figured and of average bust size, she nearly hit some of the nurses that Jinx was able to slip right past. She held her breath all the way up the stairs and found it hard to relax until Jinx... or... who was supposedly Jinx, turned and told her to enter a room. Naomi had nearly jumped out of her skin. As soon as they were into the room, Naomi flicked on the flashlight again. She turned it on the other girl. "What is wrong with you?" She whispered fiercely. "Where's my Jinx? I want her back now."
It hesitated. The important one, ‘Naomi’ something whispered, had priority. And she had asked a question. That was as good as an order. “This one is not sure what you mean honored one. This one is as it was made to be.” Satisfied that the order had been fulfilled, It browsed the room for dangers, flexing its claws at steady intervals and always keeping track of the other. A flash of metal caught its eye and it quickly used a flash of something other than its self to identify the object. A small refrigerator. Inside where various medicines. Nodding, it took out a bottle of alcohol and poured it into the filthy wound in its shoulder. It would not be useless. Not this time.
Naomi gazed at Jinx for a moment. What was happening to her precious little sister? Watching the other girl wander about the room, she gathered her thoughts. This Jinx was relapsing, at least, that's what Naomi thought. What had Liz and Sarah done when she'd relapsed so far like this. 'Think Nao, think think." She pressed her fingers to her temples in thought. Ah! That's right. It was about this time that Jinx had found the refrigerator and was pouring something onto her wound. Walking with purposeful footsteps, she gently plucked the backpack from the other girl and pulled out the first aid kid. With gentle hands, she steered the other girl to face her and peeled back her clothing. "It's deep, but you'll be okay if you keep it clean and covered. Here..." Naomi pulled out some of the alcohol wipes and cleaned around the area, before taking the liquid from her hand and rinsing the wound. "It doesn't sting, does it?" She asked in a soft, worried tone. She then went on to pull some gauze and bandage tape from the kit, placing a patch over it. "If it doesn't stop bleeding, tell me, and we'll put a new bandage on it." She cleaned up, and as she stood, kissed the girl's forehead. "Now let's find a way out of this mess, hm?"
It was utterly confused. It shouldn’t be, but….the woman, ‘Naomi’, helped it. She spoke softly to it. She even deigned to kiss something like it! It curled its hand claw-like into the wound. The only other person to ever care had been… It’s eyes widened in horror. The name, it was gone! “No…”It, she, croaked. “No, it’s gone!” It, she collapsed to it/her knees and moaned pitifully. The rescuer. The mother. Her name was gone! It/she sobbed harshly. “Her name’s gone! It’s gone! This one, I-I don’t remember Mother’s name!” She cried and stared up at the woman, the Priority, Naomi’s face. “Nao butterfly. Help!”
