DR/PR: I'd KILL for my freedom

Letting Go At Last

Casey gently knocks on Camille's door. He can hear her sobbing loudly, clearly upset over loosing Jarrod. He bites his lip as a wave of guilt washes over him. "Why the hell did I get Dominic go after Jarrod?! I should've gone with him, then neither of them would've committed murder and died!" Casey mutters angrily under his breath.

About 5 minutes later, the bedroom door opens and Camille appears, still crying a little but slightly calmer now. She sees him and smiles weakly, glad to see him. Casey instantly throws his arms around her and holds her close, and she bursts into tears again. He strokes her hair and she continues to wail. It's times like this she wishes she could talk, so she could have a real conversation with him. But... That wasn't the case. Her voice was hard to use already, and screaming and sobbing all damn day didn't exactly help, not to mentioning managing to whisper three simple words twice had really packed a punch on her usually silent voice box.

Lily finally appears, a shaken Rose standing behind her. Lily sighs. "C'mon Camille, pull yourself together. You're a strong girl, you can overcome this." Lily gently hugs Camille and Rose joins in, making it a small group hug. Camille shuts her eyes and thinks; all these people, once strangers now close friends... more like family, the more she thought about it. It was... scary to think that this "family" were... killing each other.

Rose bites her lip and scribbles something, once again slightly spelt wrong in some places. "Im gona go and get something too driink. Anyone els coming with me?"

Lily nods and brushes some hair out her eyes. "Alright, I'll come with you. Casey, Camille, you two coming as well?"

Casey smiles and nods. "Okay, I could do with a glass of water to calm my nerves. Camille, you wanna come as well? A drink would calm you down... I think." Camille shakes her head and scribbles something.

"I'm fine... I just want some alone time, if that's alright with you lot. If you could make me a strawberry milkshake though, I'd be very grateful. I'll be here waiting for you." Casey smiles at her and gives her a hug, and she hugs him back. As soon as he lets go, she goes back into her room and the others leave her to relax and get a grip.

The group all go into the Mess Hall. It's incredibly silent. "It's so weird," thinks Casey as he grabs a cup and starts to fill it with cold water," to think this room was filled with ten of us, and it was so loud and cheerful... RJ and his nonsense way of speaking, Jarrod and his constant flirting with Camille, young Maya with her jokes and her playful smile, Theo and his serious yet slightly funny attitude towards EVERYTHING, Guin and her non-stop talking, and Dom and his tales of travelling... and now... all of them... gone. It's... so scary..."

Lily looks at Casey and kisses his cheek gently. "You're thinking about the others, aren't you?" Casey blushes a bit, and nods. "I am as well... it's so weird. To think that a few days ago, we were all in here eating and laughing and it was all normal... and then..." she swallows, as if to try and keep herself from going on speaking. The Ultimate Gambler put an arm around her, protectively of course. He knows Rose wouldn't try to kill Lily... but he wasn't risking anything.

The two sit down with Rose, who was drinking some cold milk in order to relax. She seemed quite calm now, considering the fact there had been a double murder and one of her friends was slowly loosing her mind. Lily started to drink her banana milkshake and Casey had a sip of his water and grabbed a sugar sweet from the table.

A pang of pain hits him as he remembers something. "Those were Jarrod's sugar sweets... The one's he'd give to Camille to keep her from fainting..." He sighs quietly and places the sweet in his pocket for Camille. She'd most likely want one with her milkshake when they went back to check on her.

After about ten minutes, Casey stands up. "I'm heading back to see Camille. You lot gonna join me?" the two girls nod eagerly and get to their feet, following him out the Mess Hall. Rose starts to skip a little, feeling a bit more cheerful and calm. Lily was feeling a bit better too... but Casey had a sick feeling in his stomach... something wasn't right at all. They reach the dorms and Casey taps on the door. "Camille? Camille, can I come in?"
