All day Lottie had been hearing things- voices in her head. They just didn't seem to be stopping no matter what, just getting louder and louder until they made her want to scream. Every time she brushed hair from her face, or a twig snagged her t-shirt they gained volume. Wait- twigs? She stopped then spun, desperately taking in her surroundings. The preserve? She had no idea when she'd got there, or how, or why. She began panicking then, she hadn't gotten over her last blank and she was already having another? That wasn't good, not good at all. And if this was anything like last time she'd blanked she knew what would be coming next... That's when she began running, twigs scratching her skin and tearing her clothes, while roots threatened to trip her with every step she took. Despite it all she managed to keep running, only stumbling once or twice as the whispers getting louder and louder until they seemed more like shouts.
Then she stopped. The site before her was utterly horrific and something she knew would haunt her for months. Half a body hung from a branch by its hands. Blood puddled under it and stained the woman's shirt. Her head was slumped forward, almost as if it was trying to look at the flies clustering where her legs had once been and failing. Taking a few deep breaths she wavered slightly, feeling like she might faint at any moment while also wanting to run again. She did neither, though, just screamed. It pierced the air all around her and sounded like it could go on for miles. It was by far the loudest thing she'd ever heard, but at least it silenced the voices in her mind.

Rose had needed a break, recently things had been less than normal (well, Rose level normal) and after a while, Rose had just needed to go on a walk to clear her head. Hands stuffed into the pockets of her shorts, Rose was staring at the leafy ground beneath her when she'd heard a scream. The sound ricocheted through her, freezing her to the spot for a moment as she clasped her hands over her ears, face falling open in a big 'o' she knew that sound, the wail of a banshee. After a moment, Rose pulled herself together before sprinting in the direction of the sound.
It didn't take too long to find the girl, stumbling upon her, a name popped into mind Charlotte, so was this why she'd gone so quiet? Watching her quietly for a moment, Rose's eyes looked at the decapitated figure with a sinking feeling in her stomach. "Lottie?" Rose said quickly, heading towards the girl slowly. "Its okay."

Lottie wished she could breath a sigh of relief after her scream, now that the voices had stopped, but she couldn't as there was still the body hanging in front of her- well, the half body. She didn't know what to do, she knew she should be fumbling for her phone but she couldn't move. She didn't even look when she heard the steps of someone coming towards her, telling herself that no one was actually there and maybe she'd made it up. But when the person spoke up she turned, coming face to face with Rose and staring at her like a deer in head lights. She knew her from school, they'd used to talk a little bit but Lottie had cut her off like she had with everyone else. As Rose took a step towards her she took a step away, and it went like that for a few steps until Lottie managed to trip over a root. She landed on her butt, shaking her head light as if to say 'no it's not' while tears pricked her eyes. The scratches and cuts on her arms and face were beginning to sting thanks to the adrenaline wearing off, and she was convinced she was going mad. She knew she must look it, so she was pretty sure it wasn't okay.

Rose reached forward just a moment too late, hoping that she'd be able to stop Lottie's fall. Bringing her hand back to her side, Rose knelt down next to the girl, keeping her distance, she knew how freaked she'd been after she'd seen her first hunt, Lottie was probably feeling the same feeling, if not worse. Noticing the tears in the girls eyes, Rose let out a sigh, dropping onto her bum, and turning her attention completely away from the body. Pulling at a branch on the ground, Rose was silent for a moment, mind churning up the new information that she'd just established. That could probably wait for a bit though. "Lottie?" Rose asked again, glancing sideways at the girl Rose sucked on the inside of her lip trying to look reassuring. "Are you hurt?" The girl may not be hurt physically, mentally though was a whole other kettle of fish.

Lottie kept her eyes fixed on Rose, doing her best to calm down and making sure she didn't let the tears fall. Her nails dug into the ground beneath her, and she could feel the dirt slipping under her nails but didn't care one bit. She shook her head at Roses question, unable to find words and speak, there was just too much going on right now. She wasn't hurt, not really, just slightly traumatised and covered with tiny stinging cuts, but she was sure she could get over that.

Oh crap, Rose really hoped this whole situation hadn't made Lottie suddenly become mute. Pulling herself up onto her knees, Rose was trying to stagger herself with the questions that she wanted to ask but one felt kind of crucial, "how long have you known you were a banshee?" Rose had never actually met a banshee but her grandparents had, somewhere in Ireland apparently many years ago. Pulling the cuffs of her jumper down over her hands, Rose wiped at the dirt on her legs, casting a quick glance at the dead body... well, half body.

Lottie was taken aback by Roses question, frowning slightly at the girl. She had never even heard of a banshee, so she was pretty sure she wasn't one. The question made the blonde regain her voice, and she opened her mouth, it settling in a small o shape for a moment before she finally spoke up "I- what?" Great going Lottie. She would have liked to have said more, but that's all she could muster at the time.

Rose's face dropped, body sinking back down on to her bum, staring at Lottie in mild horror. "Yo-You don't know what you are?" Rose asked in mild shock, trying to regain her composure but failing miserably. "You're a wailing woman, Lottie." Rose told her, trying to see if she could make herself make any sense to the girl. Uh, why wasn't one of her parents or grandparents here, they'd be able to explain this and possibly be able to reassure Lottie that she wasn't crazy whilst doing so.

It was then that Lottie decided she wasn't the only mad one here. Well, maybe Rose wasn't mad, but she was a liar at least. Shaking her head she pushed herself away from Rose, clenching her jaw. Lottie was far from a wailing women, she'd been as quiet as possible for years now, which really was the complete opposite too wailing.

Rose was unable to help herself from rolling her eyes, running her hands over her arms, knowing she wasn't helping. "If you don't talk to me, I can't help you." Rose commented before adding, "I'm not mad. Neither are you, for that matter." Pulling her phone out of her pocket, Rose was suddenly tempted to message Jasper about the body and Charlotte but after a moment she decided that that could probably wait, she didn't want to be seen as insensitive.

Lottie glared at Rose, unable to help herself as she watched Rose roll her eyes. She took a couple of deep breaths trying to calm down as at that moment in time she was scared, confused and a bit pissed off. She clenched her jaw for a second before finally speaking again "I don't need your help- i'm not a fucking 'wailing woman' or whatever, okay? I'm just scared" The words spilled out, and she hadn't actually meant to say the last bit but it was pretty obvious anyway.

"I can tell." Rose said with a long sigh, rolling her head around as her eyes caught a glimpse of the sky. "You want answers though." That was not a question, it was so obvious, if you had no questions, you weren't scared, the only thing to inflict fear was the unknown. "But answers won't change the fact that you're a banshee. So, you might as well get used to the fact." Rose hand't meant to come across as bitchy and she was hoping that that wasn't how she was being perceived, still, if it got across the message, it was worth it.
