It had been a weird month for Holly Strange. First her sister had finally gone round the bend, tried to off herself and got sent to the nut house. The very next day Holly had woken up with a fucking voice in her head, and it's a good thing her care taker had found her before she'd freaked out to the extent of actually checking herself into the same hospital. She could have been in the bed next to Tawny right now, and she would not have liked that. No, Holly was not exactly the most stable person out there, but her twin sister was just plain fucking nuts. It was a little scary how few people actually picked up on that... then again, Tawny hid it well from everyone who wasn't the one person she really couldn't. Their sisterly dynamic had never been very conventional, and they were not by any means best friends. But they had that twin connection and Holly was the younger, she'd always felt an inexpressibly undying loyalty towards Tawny and looked up to her, idolized her even and was always watching her, especially when they were kids. This was something that was never expressed to Tawny despite how obvious it may have been. Holly always chalked it up to her simply living up to the cliche little sister syndrome, but it had stuck pretty well throughout the years.
Holly looked up to her and Tawny always found a way to take advantage it, sometimes it seemed that Tawny tormented her just for the sake of tormenting and knowing Holly would still follow her around and never fight back. That's how it worked in the Strange household and their older brother had always tried to mediate. Never worked though. He didn't get it, nobody did, the Strange sisters were a breed apart and no one would ever understand them, not even themselves. And yet they still told each other secrets and did most of the things that all sisters do, they just hated each other even as they were doing it. Holly loved Tawny, but she also hated and feared her at the same time. She was her sister but she couldn't trust her. So as she grew up she came to model Tawny's more distant nature, knowing she should protect herself, though she wasn't really sure why. Then it had come out that Tawny was a reincarnate too and when Holly discovered who it was, she'd almost had one of her spells right then and there. Her narcolepsy was largely stress induced, you see, and when her care taker had come to see her he'd had the unpleasantness of witnessing the phenomenon, thoroughly freaking him out but it seemed to do the trick 'cos he was sticking with her.
Holly wasn't sure how her life could have gotten any weirder than it already was but it had, she had Sleeping fucking Beauty in her head and all the singing was driving her slowly mad so she'd taken to drinking more and abusing her meds more than she ever had before. Happy pills were a godsend, the one time she was actually grateful for her parent's ridiculous idea that she was manic depressive, just because she wasn't a ray of fucking sunshine all the time. She'd skipped all of her classes on this particular Tuesday except one, her night class. She'd spent most of the day high as a kite and goofing off in the sand with some friends, but then she'd suddenly gotten it into her head that she actually wanted to go to Psych 101 this week so she'd sat in the back of the classroom for two hours chewing her hair and not paying attention to a word the professor said. Once class had mercifully been dismissed she headed back to her dorm, fully intent on ignoring her roommate and going straight to bed, so she was actually disappointed to find that the roommate wasn't there when she walked in. (Holly was a strange and fickle creature) Shrugging it off and crossing through the living room to get to her own bedroom she opened the door and stopped short.
"... What the fuck?"
