School still hadn't started back in sessions, but that didn't mean that Eleanor didn't have places to be and things to do. She was never one without a schedule anyway, not the sort to laze around in bed, or slowly take her time reading the morning's paper with her coffee. She needed to get to the Slayer's group home today, to work with Aiden more on his concentration and focus with his sparring, and then (of course) to settle in with Jess and Silas to try and find more of….anything, that might be helpful.
She woke up before her charge, and had never seen a reason to make sure he was moving about at the same time as her. He was usually having to sleep off coming in late, and his age and gender seemed to make it so that he didn't care as much about how he appeared when they went to where the others were. Out of bed and to the bathroom, following her normal routine, turning on the shower and letting it heat up as she undressed. She moved a hand under the steady stream of water to test its temperature before stepping in. Her eyes closed as she allowed herself a few moments of blissful non-thinking, her body absorbing the heat and the steam, relaxing her. She tilted her head back a bit, letting the water move over her hair.
Except…..something didn't feel quite right. The water moving down her face felt thick somehow, heavy. And when she opened her eyes and a bit got in, she was suddenly seeing in shades of red. She shook her head and turned quickly -- in time to see the blood pouring out of the showerhead, covering her body, swirling down the drain.
She couldn't help it. An immediate, piercing scream left her, and then she was moving, slipping, trying to get away from it. Her ankle twisted some as it hit the ground, her side banging into the sink as she groped outwards for her robe, yanking it on and tying it tight, seeing the blood seep through its fluffy whiteness. She looked back to the shower, to the rest of the bathroom, to herself. It looked like a murder scene.
Another scream.(Open to Aiden!)
