WHAT: Lillah's brain is loud, and River can't sleep.
RATING: TBA
STATUS: In-Progress
The results of the previous night's experiment had been conclusive in certain regards while simultaneously raising even more questions that remained unanswered. It was impossible not to think about it and wonder what would come of her now that she'd been in her master's bed. Simon would lose his mind if he knew, but then, if he were there to lose his mind, at least she'd have her brother.
River hadn't had nightmares that night. There weren't any shadows to blame for the fact that her eyes were wide open and sleep had run away again. Well, no shadows that belonged to her at any rate. Just because they weren't born from her brain didn't mean that there weren't other shadows screaming loud as banshees in the dead of night. Lillah was quiet, but her mind wasn't it. Her mind never slept, and it was all the other girl could hear in the quiet night as it drowned out anything she might've gleaned unintentionally from Giles or Russell.
It was why River was standing in Lillah's room now, moving slowly and quietly to sit cross-legged on the other girl's bed as she watched. She was screaming. She was always screaming.
"Wake up," she said quietly. "Open your eyes. Ghosts are gone. Phantasmal. Can't touch us here."
