log: sarah, illyana and pete
SUMMARY: Sarah's determination to win Pete takes her to Illyana's door, where she forces the other girl to tell Pete she doesn't love him. Sarah has a victory, of sorts.

SARAH: Sarah Vale was not about to lose another man, especially not to some stupid hussy like Illyana Rasputin. She couldn't even speak ENGLISH, how could Pete possibly love her?! Well, she would show them both. She didn't know if Pete had managed to get out of his room or not, but she was hoping he hadn't. She'd had to work out a plan - how did you try and kill someone who could teleport? It took careful planning on a girl's part, and a careful selection of weapons. She needed something that looked innocuous, but would seriously pack a punch. She'd ended up finding a tazer, and had worked on it until she'd convinced it to take the safeties off so it would give Illyana a charge worse than was strictly legal. So here she was at Illyana's room door, knocking politely. She didn't want to scare her off. The tazer was hidden behind her back, and Sarah was doing her best to smile.

ILLYANA: So far Yana had managed to stay oblivious to Pete's affections, so locking him in his room and disabling his ability to contact the Russian had clearly done the trick, and in any case she had much bigger (and blue) fish to fry! As per her brother's advice she was working on something to demonstrate to Kurt how she felt, a nice handmade card to profess her feelings, the only trouble being that she couldn't seem to make it perfect and she wanted it to be perfect because... Kurt was perfect. When there was a knock n her door, Illyana started and jumped to her feet. Maybe that was him now! Beaming, she skipped to the door and pulled it open only to find one of the vale twins standing there. Jessie? Sarah? Umm. "I am sorry," she said, "I was expecting someone else to be there. Are you needing something?" Apparently she was so wrapped up in what she was doing and thinking about Kurt that she didn't notice anything off about the other girl.

SARAH: Sarah narrowed her eyes at Illyana, noting the broad smile, seeing how happy she was. How dare she be so happy when she was trying to steal Sarah's man? It wasn't to be borne. "We need to talk," she said abruptly, pulling herself up to her fullest height and glaring down at the other girl. "You need to stay away from Pete."

ILLYANA: Wow. Sarah could be kind of intimidating, huh? Illyana's eyes widened a bit when she loomed like that, wearing that intense expression and it took her a couple of beats to pick up what she'd said. "Pete?" Who was that again? Yana wracked her brains for a moment, a sizable amount of confusion on her features. "Oh! Pete. I have not seen him, are you looking for him? Perhaps he is in his room." Illyana smiled again. You Americans need to be more clear.

SARAH: That was the point. She continued to glare at Illyana, not backing down quite yet. "I'm serious. You go anywhere near him, and I will you kill you. You understand?" She brought the tazer out from behind her back, the thing sparking menacingly as she pointed it towards the girl. "He's mine. You can't have him."

ILLYANA: "I--" Yana's expression fell as finally understanding dawned on her and she shook her head. Then out came the taser and her first inclination was to retaliate when something like that was shoved in her face but she held her ground instead. Clearly Sarah was either confused or disturbed. "Sarah, please forgive me but I do not understand. I have no desire for Pete. You may have him, he is yours. I am in love with someone already." So please, don't tase me bro.

SARAH: "... oh." Sarah looked a little confused by that, the tazer lowering. But wait. Illyana didn't love him? Maybe she still had a chance! If Pete just knew that Illyana didn't love him, then maybe he'd turn to her! It was perfect. A smile crossed her face, and she raised the tazer again. "You have to tell him. Now. He won't believe me if you don't tell him youself. In person."

ILLYANA: It wasn't like she could refuse with the taser in her face, now was it? Illyana looked back over her shoulder at the card she was making for Kurt and then back to Sarah. "Yes. Okay. I will tell him but we must be fast because I have things to make ready." Kurt was too perfect not to be snapped up by some other girl after all and Illyana didn't want that to happen, now did she?

SARAH: "Good. Let's go." Sarah stepped back enough to let Illyana leave the room, walking behind the girl and making a beeline for Pete's room. She was fairly certain he would still be there, he can't have gotten himself out yet, could he? Once they reached his room, she unlocked it, pushing the door open and waving Illyana in. "Pete?"

PETE: Honestly, he could have just used his hot knives and escaped his room, but a tiny voice in his head told him that wouldn't be a good idea. After all, Sarah was an insane heinous bitch, which meant she was quite capable of harming his perfect and angelic Illyana. This would explain why he had actually stayed put the entire time until Sarah opened the door and called his name. "You stupid little slut, I --" he started as he charged to the door, stopping in his tracks when he say who was with Sarah. "Illyana!" Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

SARAH: "Tell him!" Sarah ignored Pete's nasty comment to her - and his lovesick sighing of Illyana's name, instead waving the tazer at Illyana again threateningly. "Tell him what you told me! You don't love him! Not like I do!" Sarah was the only one for you, Pete. Why couldn't you see that?

ILLYANA: This was all very confusing to Yana still, she smiled benignly at Pete, a little surprised by his exclamation of her name and then Sarah was waving the taser and shouting and she felt flustered and stammered a little bit in Russian before she shook her head. "Pete, I am very sorry, this is confusing for me but I am afraid that I am in love with someone. Someone else." She glanced from Sarah and then back to Pete. "Someone who is not you."

PETE: Poor Pete was so shocked by what was going on and what Illyana said that he didn't even notice the taser. All he noticed was that Illyana was in love with someone that wasn't him, so nothing else mattered. Looking completely and utterly dejected, he simple just turned around and started shuffling his way to the bedroom area of his room. If you needed him, he would be face down on the bed cursing this mystery person that Illyana was in love with now.

SARAH: Sarah dropped the tazer, oblivious to Illyana now. All that mattered was Pete, and he was upset. She hurried after him, sitting down on the bed and resting a hand on his back. "It's okay, Pete, it's okay. I'm here. I love you. I'll look after you."

PETE: He didn't care if you loved him, Sarah. You were nothing in comparison to Illyana, but she was so evil and crushed his heart. "But I don't love you," he finally said as he turned his head away from the mattress and looked at Sarah to the best of his ability.

SARAH: Pain flickered over her face at his words, but she stayed put. She wasn't losing another guy. She was not. "You will," she cooed, her hand carefully stroking Pete's back. She didn't care that Pete didn't love her, she'd show him the error of her ways.

ILLYANA: Now that Sarah didn't seem concerned with her presence Illyana was standing near the doorway at a loose end, but she watched them with an inquisitive expression. "Pete, I am very sorry. I think Sarah is good for you though." A smile. "It seems she loves you very much." Apparently that was that, because after she had said her bit she made for the door; she had her own love to woo after all!

PETE: After he heard the door close, Pete rolled over onto his back and stared at the ceiling. "Fine." Whatever. He really didn't care about anything now, Sarah. Where you happy that you crushed his spirits and perhaps his will to live?

SARAH: "Pete," Sarah said impatiently, now that Illyana was gone. "Pete." She slid down onto the bed next to him, her hands starting to roam over him. "You'll see, this is for the best. She doesn't love you, she couldn't love you like I do. We're going to be perfect together."

PETE: "Whatever. Do what you want, I guess." It just didn't matter now to him. Oh! Watch those hands there, Sarah.

SARAH: Sarah would not watch those hands. In fact, without direct rejection from Pete, Sarah got bolder, cuddling up next to him before sliding on top of him, her legs straddling his hips. "I'll help you forget about her." Sarah leaned in, pressing her lips against Pete's. Take two!
