Who: Maddie and Lark
When: Late afternoon
Where: Heme
Lark had given blood at Heme once before, and though she'd initially been frightened, it hadn't been so bad. She hadn't been alone that day. She was alone now.
When Lark had been given a room at the shelter, one of her room-mates was a girl named Destiny, who insisted everyone call her Desi. Desi was older than Lark by a few years, had two kids, and had lost custody to the father after 'falling in with the wrong crowd.' Desi talked a lot, but some of the things she'd had to say had been pretty educational. She told Lark that she made money on the side by selling her blood at Heme, and with Lark being 'vanilla,' she could make a good chunk of money doing the same. The idea had disgusted and horrified Lark, but in the end, she had fallen to the temptation. She had allowed Desi to procure a fake ID for her, dress her up, put make-up on her face, glamour her hair brown, and drag her off to Heme.
