return to the wounded
Ooc: I should be banned from making up titles
Dave walked slowly down the corridor, his gaze unmoving from the floor a few feet in front of him, he was so engrossed in his miserable staring that he walked straight past Lisa’s room. As he passed the door of the next room along he realized his mistake and snapped out of the daze he had been in and out of since discovering cat’s disappearance.
Hastily he retraced his last few steps and reached out to knock on the door, noticing as he did so the oil smear on his left sleeve from where he had just examined the damage to Lisa's car. He sighed before knocking, this was the only shirt he had within a few thousand miles and after over a week of constant wear it was beginning to look a bit tatty even though it had been washed every day.
He heard a noise from inside, but because he wasn’t paying much attention to anything at the moment it could have been anything. Taking it as an invitation in he pushed the door slowly open “the car should be an easy fix, it was just the radiator had blown… how it got that low on coolant without being noticed I will never understand though” stepping into the room he had his eyes on his sleeve still, he usually always wore nice clothes, what with Ryan’s over generous uncle owning a clothes shop, still his things should arrive soon and there were plenty of nice outfits with them
The young woman was sat on the middle of a perfectly made bed, the sheet was severly tucked in, and the blanket whch lay on top was creased only by the black eyed girl. The stuffed animals sat in almost regimented lines at the head board, all apart from one, a large penguin which the girl had in sitting in her lap. She was sat cross legged, her shoes neatly tucked under the end of the bed, her arms around the penguin. Her hair was pulled back from her face and twisted up in a clip which had been cunningly made into a butterfly.
She heard the footsteps outside her room, they passed away down the corridor then stopped and back tracked to outside her door. Her eyes glanced up from the penguin's head and over at the wooden door, she seemed to hesitate for a moment before she called out.
'Come in.' Things hadn't been too good for Lisa over the past few weeks, what with the mysterious dissaperance of Riley and then the loss of Catherine and Dave's freind and being injured. And if all that hadn't been enough Dawn and Angie were still really upset over the whole thing, she'd found herself spending more time with Dean. Infact she'd expected it to be him who had stepped through the door, not the figure of Dave.
'The car should be an easy fix, it was just the radiator had blown… how it got that low on coolant without being noticed I will never understand though.' She blinked twice, what was he talking about? It took her a second to remember that Dave had offered to look at her car after it's little accident the other week, she'd been really worried that it would be beyond repair, she didn't have enough money to buy a new one and then now would she have been able to get home to visit her mother?
'Oh ummmm.' She started, her eyes slipping back from his to the fluffy head of the penguin. 'Thanks, I owe you one.' She coudn't think of anything else to say, she felt really guilty about Cat behing abducted, she'd been there and yet she still hadn't been able to rescue her freind.

Re: return to the wounded
as he looked into the room he could see that Lisa looked a tad depressed, it was a shame really she normally seemed so happy. "you okay?" he tried to make his own voice sound less miserable so as not to make her feel worse
"it wasnt your fault you know" he walked into the room and closed the door "maybe its mine, if i'd have been there... who knows" he shook his head and stared at the floor, he made a move to sit on the bed but it looked so tidy he was afraid he'd get told off for messing it up. instead he sat slowly down on the floor.
"i an probably get you a new one cheap if i can get hold of Ryan, his dad knows some people over here.." he trailed off, staring out the window "lets hope Johnson finds them" he didnt seem to realise he was changing the subject
Re: return to the wounded'You okay?' She glanced over at him then back down at the fluffy toy in her arms, the fingers of her right hand stroking over the soft fur of the penguin almost nervously. She looked across at him again as she spoke but she only caught his eye for the brieftest of seconds before she looked away at the semi open door then down at her crossed legs.
'Yeah I'm fine.' She said lying through her teeth, not able to meet his eye as she spoke. She shouldn't have been feeling sorry for herself, she should have been out there making her two freinds feel better, perhaps asking Cody if there was anyway she could help in looking for Riley. She knew she'd feel better if she just got up and did something even if it was just school work but she didn't want to, it was easier just to sit here and feel bad about what had happened.
'maybe its mine, if i'd have been there... who knows.' She shook her head, still not looking over at him, she didn't even want to talk about it, if she acted like it hadn't happened then maybe she could somehow convince herself that it hadn't.
'Ummm ... Dave.' She looked akward for a moment, her eyes meeting his then almost instantly looking away again as if she'd never looked in the first place. 'I'd rather not talk about it.' She wasn't sure how she felt about Dave, and at the moment things were too confusing for her to think about how she felt. She didn't want to confuse feeling down and needing someone to hug with wanting to date him.
'i an probably get you a new one cheap if i can get hold of Ryan, his dad knows some people over here.' She gave him a small smile, but she didn't really have the money at the moment, it cost rather a lot to run her car and alot of her wages from working in the coffe shop in the mall went just on the upkeep of her car. She followed his line of vision for a moment, looking out of the window, as if expecting Riley, Johnson and Cat to be there even though her room was three floors up.

Re: return to the wounded
she didnt look fine “ok I wont mention it anymore” he moved his gaze from the window, it settled on the toy in her lap, usually when he was upset or worried about something he went and sat on his computer for hours till he felt better. He sighed and looked around the room quickly, he couldn’t do that here, mainly because his computer was ‘in transit’ still, god knows when it would get here.
He had to do something, sitting was not helping at all “any suggestions of something to do to take my mind off of it then” he paused thinking over things to do when your short of belongings “I’ve got an emergency stash of chocolate in my coat, fancy helping me finish it off” his voice was virtually devoid of emotion, all this was just too much for him
He didn’t suggest the other option, it involved getting very drunk down the nearest pub, but unfortunately the drinking rules here were different, also he was not really supposed to drink too much alcohol, it dried him out a lot and had the potential to kill him if he didn’t re-hydrate soon afterwards
Re: return to the wounded'Ok I wont mention it anymore.' She felt a rush of grateful affection for him, if she didn't think about it then she could pretend that it hadn't happened and that Cat was just in her room and Riley was working away in the libary on his laptop. Her eyes flicked over to the desk looking at the school books she had placed there, she had a growing mountain of school work to do but she felt little enthusiasm and Dawn still wasn't really attending lessons, she hoped that something would happen to lift her firends spirits, she'd taken Rileys leaving rather hard and even Cody didn't seem to be able to answer the hundred and one questions they were all asking themselves.
'I’ve got an emergency stash of chocolate in my coat, fancy helping me finish it off.' A ghost of a smile twitched her lips, her fingers rubbing against her bottom two ribs in her left chest, the ones which she'd suffered a fracture the other week, they still hurt occassions though she'd been assured that it would stop given time.
'Chocolate is good.' She said setting the penguin aside and letting her smile broaden slightly. She hoped her car would be road worthy soon, her work had been ringning her to find out when she'd be back with them and she desperatley needed the cash to pay for the new windows she'd had to have put in and what ever else Dave had done to it.

Re: return to the wounded
It was nice to see her smiling again "just a sec, i'l go get it" he ran to the door and off down the corridor. Opening the door to his room he noticed a pistol clip lying on the floor near his bed, it must have been Johnson’s, he kicked it out of sight.
his coat was lying on the bed, he quickly frisked it for the chocolate and exited the room at a running pace.
"Ok, i have chocolaty goodness" he pushed open her door and walked in, holding a handful of bars he had bought earlier that day “here” he threw one to her then dumped the rest on the bed. Before he sat down he took another glance out of the window, wishing that they would just appear suddenly
Re: return to the wounded
The young Slayer in training, much like her older other worldly sister, was never a patient one, and the instint Dawn had seen Rogue and the jeep pull into the school grounds, she had rushed down the hall towards Lisa's room. Her increased strength meant that when she banged on the door it was loud enough to alert half the hall of her presense, but Dawn didn't care, which showed even more when she started shouted eagerly.
"Lisa!! Lisa get out here now!!" This was a definat change in her mood, and no one knew about her and Sean.. yet, she'd mention something about it to them later, when Riley was settled in and the girls had privet time together. But there was definatly something different about her from the past week of sulking and seeking solitude, she was ready to break down Lisa's door if she took any longer to answer it.
"This is VERY important Lisa, HURRY!" The young spell caster began pacing about in front of Lisa's door eagerly, why did Lisa take forever to get to her door, even if Dawn's only been there for a minute it felt forever to her! Dawn started banging once again, and this time she wasn't stopping, still banging as she started yelling again.
"They're back! They're back! Hurry!! Both of them are back! I saw them!!" In truth Dawn wasn't sure if she's throw her arms around Riley or punch him so hard he'd go flying backwards. Right now nothing mattered other then getting to Catherine and Riley, she had to get to her friends.. she had to get there NOW! She's already called Angela, they're all meant to meet outside, they have to get going, she didn't want something to happen and have them disapear on her again..
Buckle up boys, this puny Human just turned Supernatural
Re: return to the wounded"Lisa!! Lisa get out here now!!" She was just about to unwrap the chocolate bar when she heard someone hammering on her door, someone who seemed very desperate for her to let them in. It took her a moment to respond, to realise the voice was Dawn's, she sounded more than excited.
"This is VERY important Lisa, HURRY!" She half wondered if there was a sale on in Salem in the mall she'd forgotten about, Dawn was the kind of person who would be counting down to anything like that. She had barley slid off the bed with an apologetic look at Dave.
"They're back! They're back! Hurry!! Both of them are back! I saw them!!" At that very moment she heard the sound of wheels on the gravel outside and she pratically flew to the window, there were only two people she liked that had gone anywhere Riley and Cat.
The first thing she saw was the figure of Riley half getting out of the jeep. She didn't even notice the fact he seemed to be having trouble standing .... it was him, it was really him, she'd always believed he'd come back, he had to.
'Riley's back.' She said letting Dave know with two excited breaths then she'd wrentched the door of her room open and dashed out into the corridor, almost bowling Dawn over in the process and without even thinking to lock her room. Leaving Dave standing there still eating chocolate
