The events caused by whatever it was that made everyone so happy had brought Elle down and even pissed her off a little bit, but it had been nice talking to Virgil. He had even brought her mood back up a little bit and, for the first time in this place, she smiled without some kind of mojo making her do so. She stretched out her limbs and laid back on her bed for a minute or two when she heard someone in the hallway.
Elle sat up on her mattress and debated on whether or not she should investigate. She wasn’t afraid of any threat someone might pose. She was pretty certain that she could handle herself in this place. Really, it was just a matter on whether or not she wanted to put forth the effort.
After a moment of debate, Elle hopped to her feet and made her way to the hallway. She didn’t have a flashlight handy, so she illuminated her path with a ball of electricity formed in her palm. Walking a few doors down, Elle found herself face to face with someone she’d never been acquainted with.
“Are you alright?” She asked the girl in the hallway.
