Re: Whispers in the Dark
It took several hours before Dakota began to stir, and slowly sat up. She instantly regretted that decision as a sharp pain shot through her neck and head. “What’d I do?” Her eyes flickered around the dark infirmary, lit only by several candles. It was still night out, all the windows darkened with a pale moon gleaming through them. “Fall off my broom or something?” She shook her head, knowing that wasn’t it. It’d be nice to pretend it was, but it wasn’t.
Kat had done it, not that she really blamed the girl. She’d been the one encouraging it. She heard a sound and looked to the next bed, seeing her lover sitting there. “Kat,” She whispered, realizing suddenly how weak and raw her own voice sounded. The bandaging around her neck was thick, and her arms were covered in gashes made by fingernails digging in too deep. Bruises covered her abdomen and chest as well, which made each movement painful. “Hey,” She smiled weakly, “You ok?”

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat stared, shaking violently, rocking back and forth insecurely on the bed.
"How can you ask that," she murmured, "when I almost killed you.."
She covered her now-heavily scarred face with her dark hair, keeping her gaze low, emitting soft, miserable whimpers every few seconds.

“Cause,” Dakota shifted, swinging her legs off the edge of the bed to meet the cool floor. She stood shakily, nearly falling before she managed the few steps to the next bed. She sat on the edge, slowly reaching out to brush Kat’s hair from her face. “I love you, and I don’t blame you. I know you didn’t mean to.”
She smiled warmly, eyes light despite the pain each movement incurred and the fact the person who’d done it sat right in front of her. “C’mon, look at me. I want to see what you did to yourself, and I want to see your beautiful eyes.”

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Slowly, Kat looked up, her gaze anxious and guilt-stricken, and the moon outside illuminated the broad scars across her face. She sighed.
"There," she murmured, a small hint of a growl in her tone, though it wasn't of anger. "This is what I did to myself. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just.."
She sighed again, hanging her head miserably.

“I understand why you did it, Kat.” Dakota pulled her legs onto the bed to sit directly in front of Kat. She lifted her lover’s face gently with her hands, leaning forward to kiss Kat gently. “I’m more worried about you. Why didn’t you get Madam Pomfrey to take a look at those?” She began in a motherly tone she rarely ever took save for when a friend, or, in this case her lover, did something incredibly stupid.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat shook her head, frowning.
"I've already caused enough trouble for the night," she muttered. "I don't need Madam Pomfrey worried about me, too."
She shifted her shoulders uneasily, staring down at her feet idly.

“I’ll bother her then,” Dakota stated flatly, not going to give up until Kat didn’t think of herself as a monster and Madam Pomfrey had taken a look at those deep scars. “You didn’t cause any trouble, Kat. Honestly, I encouraged it. If anything happened I brought it on myself.” She slowly grinned, the corner of her mouth pulling back crookedly, “Plus, it was practice for tomorrow night when you actually turn me, right?”

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat raised an eyebrow, still frowning.
"I'll make sure to take my potion tomorrow night," she murmured softly, reaching out a hand to trace along her love's lips gently. "I don't want this to happen again.. I'd kill myself if I hurt you again. I'm pretty tempted to now," she added, looking away.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Dakota’s brow furrowed slowly, before she caught Kat’s hand and gently kissed the tips of the girl’s fingers. “Kat…” She began in a cracked whine. This wasn’t going well at all, she couldn’t convince Kat, she couldn’t even convince herself they’d be fine. She was brave, she could face down all sorts of magical creatures beside Kat, but she didn’t know if she could face Kat anymore. Not after the incident earlier that evening, and that in itself was a memory she preferred not to relive.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Watching Dakota with gentle ember eyes, Kat's lip twitched, and slowly turned into a smile. Before she knew it, she had gently pushed Dakota onto her back, and crawled on top of her, pressing her lips to the other's tenderly. Although she was pained, she tried her best to put all her love, care and compassion into the gesture, raising her hands to run them through Dakota's slightly tangled hair.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Dakota kissed back gently, raising her hands to the sides of Kat’s face. Her thumbs caressed the gently skin, the scars. Kat was warm, and she relished in that feeling, and the feeling of love she got from the girl now. When they broke apart for air, she nuzzles the tips of their noses together, “I love you.” She breathed.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat smiled gently, closing her eyes at Dakota's touch; her hands moving slowly up and down her sides.
"I'm sorry," she breathed, opening her eyes, which had now returned to their dirty brown color. "I'm sorry for hurting you like this.. and no matter what you say," she said, knowing that Dakota would protest, "I'll never be able to apologize enough."
She sighed, sitting up at Dakota's side, stroking her hair gently.

“You can start by staying with me until I fall asleep,” Dakota smiled, shifting her head gently into Kat’s lap. She knew Kat wouldn’t accept her protests, so she found a nice way for her lover to ‘make it up’. She shut her eyes and exhaled softly, letting her tired and sore body relax.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat went silent, lowering her hand to stroke her love's hair gently, watching over her. After a moment, she stopped abruptly, withdrawing her hand to her own face, taking a drop of blood from one of her scars; licking it from her fingertips.
"Why do you still love me," she murmured quietly, unable to look at Dakota with the guilt she felt, "after this.. how can you? I'm a monster, a beast; how can you even look at me.."

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Dakota barely cracked an eye open, eyes on Kat. “Cause I love you, and I know you didn’t mean it.” Was her simple answer. It was the truth, and she smiled and allowed her eyes to again close. “How can you look at me though?” She inquired in a light tone, “Don’t you see a large bloody snack?” She teased.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat tilted her head, frowning slightly.
"Don't joke about that," she murmured, "I hate that I hurt you, no matter how good your blood tastes.."
She looked away, sitting up, keeping her hands to herself now, as if afraid that she'd hurt her love more.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
“Kat,” Dakota put on her wise tone, knowing it was so rarely used that it would take her love’s attention quickly. “People who love each other hurt each other sometimes, it can’t be avoided. You just have to forgive and forget is all. See, I don’t even remember what happened now.” She grinned cheerily and gave a thumbs up, in surprisingly good spirits.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat flinched at Dakota's tone, then sighed, staring at the floor.
"I guess.." she said softly, flopping back across the bed in defeat. "I just don't want it to happen again, at least," she added with a faint smirk, "not too savagely."
She then turned on her side, placing a gentle kissing on Dakota's neck.

Dakota smiled, humming contently. “Well, tomorrow night is the full moon, and then I’ll be officially like you.” She whispered. It was what she wanted more than anything at this point, well, aside from Kat that is.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat smiled, burying her face in Dakota's hair, inhaling her scent deeply as a soft growl rumbled from her chest.
"I know this will definitely sound weird," she murmured, "but.. you smell so damn good."
She raised her head then took her love's hand once more, dragging her tongue across her palm with a faint purr.
"So good.."

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Dakota watched with a smile, tickling the tip of Kat's nose with her fingertips. "I may not be a fleabag like you yet," She said good-naturedly, "But you smell wonderful, Kat. You taste better though." She said with a devilish smirk as she leaned in and captured her love's lips in a kiss.

Re: Whispers in the Dark
Kat smiled to herself as her eyes fluttered shut, another low purr emitting from her chest as she gently kissed Dakota back, wrapping her arms around her waist to pull her close. The moon had hidden behind the clouds once more, and Kat had become a bit more sane now; her eyes slowly turning back to their familiar dirty brown as she pulled back from the kiss, smiling weakly.
"I love you, you know," she said softly, resting against the bedpost beside her lover.

“I love you too…” Dakota snuggled into Kat’s side, already beginning to doze. Something interrupted her thoughts though, “No! I have Potions first thing in the morning…” She moaned unhappily. She swore the Potions master was out to get her constantly!! He really was!

Kat tilted her head, face a mirror of confusion.
"Something wrong, Kota?" she said, eyebrows raised curiously as she gazed upon the other.

“Classes start tomorrow…” Dakota whined, burying her face against Kat’s shirt as she huffed. She made top marks, true, but starting back right now wasn’t appealing. Hell, she was so bandaged she could barely move anyway!” And I hate Potions…I love Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, and Care of Magical Creatures, but otherwise I’m screwed tomorrow. I think Qudditch try-outs start soon too.” She rambled.
