At the Doll...Box, Xalez is having another one of her unfortunate terror fits.
Gabriel: Awe crap!
Gabriel: Mizuki! Xalez is having another fit!
Xalez: Go away go away go away!
Mizuki: Sh*t! Restrain her before she starts hurting herself!
Gabriel tries to restrain Xalez as Mizuki hopes over the box.
Xalez kicks Gabriel.
Gabriel: Ooph!
Mizuki: Hold her arms down, keep her from biting or scratching you!
Gabriel: I'm trying but she's really strong!
Mizuki: I just need to get to her to calm her down.
Xalez kicks Mizuki.
Mizuki: ack!
Gabriel: Are you alright?
Mizuki: I'll be fine.
Mizuki uses her Seer abilities to calm Xalez's mind.
Mizuki: Just be calm Xalez, no one's hurting you.
Xalez: *sob* go away go away...
Xalez: Oh... I'm sorry...
Mizuki: It's okay, everything's fine.
Xalez: I hope I didn't hurt you again.
Mizuki: No, I'm fine.
Gabriel: Gods, I keep on underestimating our vampire here. She's stronger than she looks.
Mizuki: You're going to be fine. Try to remember the chant before you go to sleep, okay?
Xalez: Okay.
A little backstory: Xalez has a very dark past. She was captured and tortured and inevitably turned into a vampire by her captors. Mizuki found her and rescued her, but she's still tormented by nightmares. Mizuki tries to use her Seer powers to bring peace to her mind, but the damage is really deep. Xalez does have good days were it almost seems like she's healed, but unless she chants a spell that Mizuki taught her before she sleeps, the nightmares come back.
(I have no idea why that one picture got smaller. >< )
