*Astrid took a deep breath and fidgeted with her hands while she waited for him to come back. She couldn't get out of her own head by this point, but she was still trying. Stop thinking about it. She repeated to herself over and over again as the flashes slowly faded. She glanced down at her arms and took her nails out of her skin, knowing she was making the bleeding worse.*
"This shouldn't still be affecting me, dammit."
*She mumbled, wiping her eyes. It'd been almost two years, and it was still haunting her. She thought she would have gotten over this by now, but she couldn't have been more wrong. It was only eight, but she wanted to just go to bed and forget about all of this. She knew she wouldn't sleep very well, but it seemed like a better option than lingering in her anxiety.*

*Cress came back with the first aide kit and hastily worked on Astrid's wounds, his face grew stern as he concentrated on cleaning the area and applied something that caused the area to numb. It didn't take long for Cress to stitch up the wounds and did so right when the numbing stoped he gently rubbed the area around Astrid's wounds, the heat he releases forced her muscles to relax, but he was gentle still, after some time Cress slowly looked at Astrid, noticing how conflict she appeared*
"There is a reason why people blame the past for their actions…Cress has an idea of what happened but you need to understand that some things will never go away…."
*He gently placed a hand on Astrid's face so she was looking at him*
"But it doesn't mean we can't become stronger from it"
*He blushed brightly, and his eyes seem to sparkle*
"S-sorry it's just uh…."
*He took a deep breath and shifted a little, then slowly pulled away and sat on the couch, leaving some space for Astrid*
"Y-you're…Well uh Cress…really likes you…"
*Cress chuckled a little towards the end and nervously rubbed the back of his neck*
"Trying to…not hold you right now…"
*He muttered under his breath and looked down, his heart was racing and he started to sweat a little, Cress…I want to kill you right now, this is so pathetic, let's go kill someone~, Cypress purred but Cress didn't acknowledge him and oddly enough he found himself looking at Astrid with a soft smile, his face was hot from blushing so hard and seemed content just being able to sit with her, and watch her, his fingers twitched a little yet he continued watching Astrid in a love struck gaze, he leaned back on the couch and tiny flames flickered around his head, Lorna slithered up his back and rubbed her head against his cheek*

*Astrid thought for a minute about what he'd said before scooting over and settling down with him. She smiled softly at Lorna, amazed by the fact that she was still there. *
"I really like you, too, Cress. Next time, don't hesitate, okay? I like being near you."
*She sighed, closing her eyes. She was utterly exhausted, and she knew by now that she wouldn't make it to ten o'clock. I'm gonna turn in for the night- Aster, don't take over while I'm asleep.        Wouldn't dream of it. Unleeeeess-        No, Aster.        Buzzkill. She told them, trying her best not to fall asleep. She didn't want to make Cress uncomfortable, so she just planned on going to her room to give him some space. That's stupid. Aster interrupted, sounding annoyed. Elaborate?        He's literally the clingiest person we've ever met. I doubt he'd care.        Still, I don't want him to feel weird.        Chickennnnn- Aster rolled her eyes, leaving Astrid alone to make her choice.*
"Mm. . I'm falling asleep just . . sitting here."
*She mumbled, stifling a yawn.*
"You wanna. . come lay down.?"
*She asked, looking up at him with tired eyes. Her face was a little red, despite her best efforts to stay calm.*

*Cress' eyes lit up and he nodded rapidly as he scooted as closely to Astrid possible*
"Must warn you…Cress gets a little overheated at night…"
*He said nervously before standing up, then relized he still needed to charge his phone, he pulled it out*
"Oh uh b-better plug this in before Cress forgets..Heh…"
*He fiddled with his phone a bit then walked over to Astrid's room, his heart continued racing and started to breath rapidly, this time from sheer excitement, he went over to the nightstand to plugged in his phone and placed Lorna next to it, the baby python curled around his it in a protective manner*
"Awww protecting daddy's phone? You're so adorable"
*Cress chuckled a little then leaned over and gave Lorna a wet smooch, the serpent seemed to happily accept it*
"Ohh it that red on your tail?"
*Cress asked as he poked her tail with a soft smile*
"Red tail python hmmmm?"

Danger noodle- ))

*Astrid got up, but almost fell over immediately. She sighed and made her way to the bedroom, keeping a hand on the wall to support herself. She walked over to the bed and sat down, putting her hair into a loose bun so that it wouldn't get too messy while she slept. She scooted back and got under the covers, already half asleep.*
"Sooo- Are you ever gonna tell me where she came from, or is she just gonna be a lifelong mystery?"
*She smiled a little, gazing up at Lorna. She'd never known why Lorna was just chilling with him, or if he was even her owner, but she'd never thought to ask about it before now. Cress had said before in the pet store that he couldn't take the lizard because of the way he lives, which made her think that Lorna might've come from the circus. In that case, though, who was her actual owner?*

*Cress jumped a little then turned around and nervously rubbed the back of his neck*
"Uhhhh r-remember that time in town Cress left you for a bit?"
*He looked down*
"Cypress led Cress to an apartment where a couple who seemed to have come back from traveling…"
*He paused for a moment then smiled a bit as he felt Lorna flicking her tongue on his bare back*
"We ate the couple and took their baby python kheheheheh"
*He laughed a bit then got in bed with Astrid, he held her closely and started to bury his face into her neck, he was under the covers as well and made himself comfortable*

*Astrid shrugged a little and closed her eyes, not really giving any reaction that indicated she cared. She'd been thinking that she might have come from the snake pit Cress had been talking about a few days ago, but it didn't make a difference to her.*
". . Night."
*She mumbled, flicking off the lamp and then laying back down. It only took her around two minutes to fall asleep, and then she was pretty much dead to the world. She'd been lightheaded for half an hour now, but she couldn't tell why.*

// *Time skip noises* //

*Astrid woke up the next morning with a massive headache, and her entire body hurt. She sat up and looked around, taking a minute to process where she was.*
"Get up. We've gotta go in twenty minutes, and I can't have anyone seeing those."
*Someone spoke from behind her, sounding irritated. Her heart dropped, and she looked down at her wrists. They were nearly black with bruises, and she had several marks running down her arms and legs.*
"Hey- Didn't you hear me? Get up, dammit-"
*He repeated, walking out of the kitchen with a mug of coffee in his hand.*
"So you're finally sobering up? Good luck with that."
*She rolled her eyes, seeming even more pissed than he was. She had no control over her actions; It was just a memory playing back through her mind.*
"Excuse you? Wanna say that again, Astrid?!"
*He snapped, glaring at her from the doorway as she stood up and threw her clothes on.*
"Yes, I do. I'm not going to your stupid fucking premier."
*She glared at him, fixing her hair.*
"Oh like hell you're not- You have one chance to apologize and go get your shit on."
*He gripped the mug in his hand, walking over to her. He stood several inches taller than her, even when she was at her full height.*
"You want an apology? Here! I am so done with your bullshit, Bryce!"
*She flipped him off and picked up her phone, shoving it in her pocket. She turned to leave when she suddenly felt him grab her arm and pull her back. He smashed the mug into the side of her head and started screaming at her, and then she lost control.*
"Let go of me- NOW!"
*She snapped, and then it went blank. Ariadne took over to get her out of there while Aster and Aria were just trying to calm her down. Things seemed to be alright, but then something went wrong. Astria was trying to get Ariadne out of the driver's seat, but it wasn't working. When she woke up, she saw her entire house destroyed. She'd never seen so much blood in her life, and it was all on her hands. She caught sight of what. . used to be Bryce, and fell to her knees. He hadn't known what she was. He'd had no clue what she could do, and she'd been trying to keep it that way. . Now, it was too late. She screamed as loudly as she could, still not recognizing that it was just a nightmare.*

*Cress jolted awake from the screaming and without a mere thought or realization that Astrid was having a nightmare, spikes formed down his spine and flames enveloped the room, he grew a whip-like tail and roared out in pure rage as he held Astrid tightly in a protective hold, his now flaming eyes scanned the area, once he relized that he was alone with her he calmed down*
"S-shit, thought you were.."
*He panted out then slowly everything dead down and he was back to normal, he tried calming himself down and was still holding Astrid in a tight, protective hold, Just ditch her already, Cypress spoke in an agitation tone, yet Cress didn't register he was being spoken to, he was spooked and focused on calming himself down, after a couple minutes and gave Astrid several kisses on the cheek then nuzzled his face into her neck, he was still panting a little but was far calmer now*

*Astrid kept saying how she was sorry, and that she didn't mean to, but it didn't make a difference. Bryce was still dead on the floor, and she was still in danger of destroying everything around her. She tried to get in contact with the others, but none of them were responding. She'd overused her powers to the point of complete disconnection with the others, and Ariadne was nowhere to be found.*
"I'm sorry- I-I didn't-"
*She sobbed, suddenly jerking awake. She knew it had just been a nightmare, but it'd sent her into a full-blown panic attack. If she'd known she was going to react like this, she would have just stayed up with Cress watching TV. She couldn't breathe, and there was a consistent stream of tears flowing down her face. The more she tried to calm herself, the more panicked she became. She hardly even noticed that Cress was with her.*

*Cress stayed by Astrid's side and held her tightly, his face buried in her neck, sadly he was more then used to this, Syren always acted like a cold ice queen while Eric was violent, and abusive, and of course the circus is never silent, in fact, Cress is more then capable of falling asleep, but he chose not to for he cares about Astrid and her needs*
"Cress is here, it's ok, take your time…"
*He spoke softly as he tilted his head so only half his face was covered, he gently rubbed Astrid's right side*
"Take your time Astrid, it's ok, take your time"
*He yawned a bit and released extra heat, he kept himself awake to make sure Astrid won't hurt herself again*
