"C-Cress wouldn't d-do that." *She told herself, just trying to get herself to move. Slowly, though, the already dead earth began to crumble and wither away some more.* "Cress isn't Bryce! . . He's not. ." *She glanced down at the stitches, feeling tempted to rip them all out. Aster wasn't taking over this time, it was just Astrid losing control. It wasn't pretty when she did, and she normally couldn't leave the house for a few weeks afterwards. Stop it, stop- Cress is still at home. He'll be worried if you don't come back- Just calm the fuck down. Please, please just calm down- She tried to convince herself, but it was no use. She fell to her knees and dug her nails into her skin, tearing out the stitches one by one.* |

"You'll tell Cress if you need help right?" *He sat down on Astrid's bed and found himself just bombarding Astrid in texts* "Ugh Cress knows you haven't been out long but please be safe!! Did Cress scare you? Please say no….you…mean so much to Cress…Cypress is such an abusive creature but you Astrid…make my heart beat~ ohhh Cress HAS to take you out!" *Cress found himself blushing, he meant to ask Astrid out earlier but couldn't, yet is seemed so easy over text…* |

". . This fucking idiot." *She muttered with a soft smile as she read all of the messages he had sent. She stopped picking at the stitches and broke down crying, unable to even hold the phone to type a response. . . I need help. I can't do this anymore. Not by myself. She finally caved and stood up, calling Cress so that she wouldn't have to struggle to type.* "Pick up. . Pick u- Cress.?" *She muttered, hearing the other line get on. She tried to speak, but it turned out to be a lot harder than she'd originally thought it was to ask for help.* "I-I tore out my stitches, a-and I d-destroyed like h-alf of the forest." *She sniffled, just trying to keep it together for long enough to have a conversation. She slowly began walking back towards the house, ignoring the blood dripping down her leg.* "I didn't m-mean to l-lose control again. I didn't mean to. ." *Though she was speaking, it didn't seem like she was talking to Cress anymore.* |

"Ssshhh…it's ok Astrid just take some deep breaths for Cress ok? Cress is coming to you, please please please apply pressure to the wound and just relax it's ok, it's ok" *Cress spoke gently, his voice was sweet as nectar, he headed outside and relized his phone might die before he figures out where Astrid was but he was too worried about her health, he scanned the area closely and ran around like the lunatic he was, and even hissed at the wild life, then he was near an area with dead foliage* "Where are you? Cress sees dead things but where are you?" *He continued running, and spotted a squirrel staring at him, the two locked eyes, Ugh, just look at that smug bastard!, he thought angrily then ran off to continue his search* |

"I-I'm b-by the o-ld br-bridge." *She stammered out, keeping her eyes shut tightly. Her thoughts kept echoing on repeat, and she couldn't find a way to turn them off. Blood slowly dripped down her arms while she continued digging into the stitches, hardly even noticing it. He's not Bryce, he isn't like that- He wouldn't hurt you. They're not the same! She kept telling herself as the area around her continued to collapse. She was almost afraid for Cress to find her, because then, he might get hurt. She just needed to calm down before he got here. Simple, right?* |

"Oh Astrid…" *He spoke under his breath, his heart sank and immediately started blaming himself, he felt he was the reason for this but couldn't figure out what exactly caused this, Who is Cress kidding? Being around Cress is more then enough to cause one to kill themself!, tears streamed down his cheeks and he started unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off to tear it into long, strips then starting tiring them to Astrid's wounds located on her thighs* "C-Cress caused this…d-didn't he?" *He asked shakily, he couldn't bring himself to look at Astrid, he was completely convinced he was the reason for this, the reason for Astrid to hurt herself, with a deep breath Cress licked the blood off his fingers then stood up and gently picked Astrid up and made his way back to her home, All you bring is hell, death and pain to those around you, Cress, go back to the circus and be the little adorable jester freak you were raised to be, clearly Astrid is trying to keep her shit together, and today only proves that alllll you do little Cress is break her! Khehehehehe!!!, Cypress hissed in sheer delight, causing Cress to whimper a little, but he made sure to have a gentle hold on Astrid* "It's…ok Astrid, Cress will clean you up and re stitch the wounds…" *His voice was a little shaky, and he started to breath rapidly, he tried so hard to not break down into tears until finally he shook his head and growled to himself* "N-need to help Astrid first Cypress then you talk shot to me all you want you greedy bastard…" *He muttered under his breath* |

*Astrid kept her hands close to her at all times, not wanting to hurt Cress by mistake. She saw that he was tearing up, and immediately felt terrible. He thinks he caused this.* "No- No, no, NO. You didn't d-do this, Cress. I-I keep t-telling myself you're n-not h-im, but I can't ch-change what he d-did." *She looked up at him, trying to grab his attention without having to touch him. Of all the days to not bring gloves. Aster sighed, seeming irritated. For once, Aster was letting her stay in control instead of trying to deal with the problem herself, which was nice.* "You're n-nothing like him. You're kind, a-and sweet, and y-you listen when I say n-no. ." *She closed her eyes, listening to his heartbeat while he walked.* "T-Tell Cypress to shut up. You didn't do th-this, and I l-love having you here. Don't let him t-tell you otherwise." *She sighed, slowly regaining control over her powers. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in the crook of his neck, still trying not to lose control. So far, though, she'd been doing a decent job.* |

*Cress slowly started to calm down, for his mind was now focused on what Astrid had said, not the bits regarding him but the new male, Cress isn't like him? Wait did this asshole….Cressss force her to tel-HELL NO! If this guy did anything remotely to what Cress THINKS he did then that would be the WORST thing to do!, Cress continued walking at a slow pace, Cypress was insistent but Cress knew better then to press and understands the mere thought of this unknown male was more then enough to make Astrid do this to herself, yet Cress must have done something to make her think of the abusier at hand, with he deep breath he finally spoke* "Understand that Cress is only asking this in the hopes of preventing this from happening again, not to make you say anything about what happened regarding the male you speak of, Cress understands it hurts, it makes you do things you later regret but please at least answer this question; What triggered this? And relaxe, take your time, Cress understands the complexly of trauma, enough to know that all it takes is touching you the wrong way to cause self inflicted wounds…" *Cress looked down at Astrid, and spoke slowly, he understands far to well how even the littlest things could trigger the most lethal events, trauma and emotions, and so he asked Astrid what he did in hopes of at least bringing her a little comfort, the comfort of knowing that Cress understands how sensitive the topic was and is willing to whatever it takes to ensure her safety over his, Oh my god Cress, just throw her on the ground and beat the shit out of her, remember when Aster was acting up? Hahahah! Oh just throw her in the ground, pin her wrists down and force the info out, Cypress started laughing, causing Cress to look to the side, there was no way in hell he'll do anything Cypress says* |

*Astrid kept her eyes closed, just trying to calm down. She hadn't meant to bring him up, but now that Cress was focusing on it, she couldn't stop thinking about it. You want to tell him. Do it. What? Normally you're the one who says never to tell a soul, Aster. It's not Aster. Who..? Tell. Him. She couldn't tell who this was, but she knew better than to argue. After a few minutes of hesitating, she finally responded.* "When. . we were on t-the couch. . and you got on top of m-me." *She sighed, tightening her grip on him a little as she thought back to it again.* "I-I don't like it when you g-grab my wrists." *She felt panic rising in her again, seeing the images flash through her mind. She was back in her old house, just sitting there watching TV when he came in. He's drunk again. He promised he'd stop. Everything went by in a blur, and she was suddenly pinned down to the sofa with him on top of her. She'd suppressed these memories for so long that she'd started to forget what he even looked like. No- Get him off- I hate this part. He was shouting things at her, and her wrists started to hurt as he squeezed harder. She remembered the bruises, the marks-- everything. She didn't want to talk about this, but Cress needed to know. Even if she couldn't tell him the whole story, she at least needed him to know what triggered her.* |

*Cress gently hushed as he approached the house, he stood in front of the door and started to gently rocked Astrid* "You don't have to say anything, Cress understands and promises to never do that again, and you're probably thinking Cress is lying like other assholes…" *He managed to awkwardly opened the door and pushed it open with his foot then walked over to the couch and gently placed Astrid down, he kneeled down so he was eye leveled to her with soft, tender eyes* "…but it should be obvious by now that Cress is too…off" *He continued then slowly leaned over and planted a kiss on Astrid's cheek, he blushed brightly and quickly looked down* "C-Cress will remember to not do that again…" *He took a deep breath and nervously rubbed the back of his neck, then looked at Astrid once more* "…should s-stich you up…" *He slowly got up and made his way back to Astrid's room where he stashed some medical objects, another odd habit of Cress', he never understood why he felt the need to hide things but had for as long he could remember* |
