Ok :)
Too bad, didn't reach the 10000 a second time :D

<--- Podarge

*enters the room* Girl - uh, Twilight? I mean, Dawn? *finds the girl asleep from exhaustion*
*looks around*
*notices new pictures*
*grabs one of them and looks at it* The tiger's mouth - *shivers* - the moment it drags her away - *looks at the girl, feeling pity for her*
*grabs another picture* What's this? A wolf? *takes a second look* That wolf looks weird - *stares at the girl* I guess she watched too many monster movies! *gets another picture* Claws grabbing her? How can bird claws be big enough to - wait - they are blue! *confused* *puts the picture away and gets another one* A dragon?! A blue dragon?! *shivers* This child - I guess she drew her nightmares! *looks at another picture and blanches as she sees a female corpse on it*
*looks at the picture that was lying right under that one and starts to shake*
*runs out of the room to grab the phone* A knife - a hand holding a knife - sticky with blood - this girl - does that mean she wants to kill me? *quickly dials Hazel's number and waits*

*waits*

*gets more and more nervous and evebtually hangs up* Guess she's at work - whatever that might be! I hope her phone saves the callers' list. *looks at the picture again and shudders*
*looks at her kitchen* She could easily get out and find a knife!
*silently walks back into the basement, retrieves chain and cuffs and sneaks into the chamber*
*cautiously wraps a handkerchief around the girl's towel and then locks it with the cuff* Sorry, girl - you're too - too scary! *fixes the chain on the ceiling again*

<--- Twilight

*awakes from the noise*
*gets some horrible déjà vu*
*stares in horror at the woman*
*attempts to pull her leg away from the chain but the chain follows until it tautens* Why?

<--- Podarge

I - I'm sorry - but you're just too scary! Or - I mean, can you explain this to me? *shows Twilight the picture with the knife* And this? *shows Twilight the picture with the female corpse* Does that mean you're already dreaming of seeing me dead?!

<--- Twilight

*completely confused* How - how can it mean that? *tries to grasp* *looks at the pics* This - *points at the knife* - is what killed her - *points at the corpse*

<--- Podarge

*impatiently* Yeah, I already suspected that. But why? Or better, WHO is that?

<--- Twilight

*face wet from tears* My - sister -

<--- Podarge

*almost gets overwhelmed by sympathy for the girl but then remembers some thing* Okay, and WHO did that? Did you kill her that way?

<--- Twilight

*stares at Podarge, unable to grasp how she could think that of her* No! I loved her! *grabs another piece of paper and quickly draws a face*
*hands it to Podarge* She did it!

<--- Podarge

*gets the piece of paper and looks at it*
*shivers* Wow! She looks as if she'd attack me every moment! Wait - if this is your memory - did she try to kill you, too?

<--- Twilight

*shakes head* No - this was the last of my sister's memories before her death. I - got it when I finally found her - *wraps arms around herself*

<--- Podarge

*can't really understand what she just heard*
*grabs the remaining pictures and leaves the room*
*locks the door behind herself*

<--- Twilight

*stares at the door for a while*
*then grabs the cuffs and attempts to remove them*
*pulls harder and harder*
*crouches backwards to try to pull her foot through the cuff but fails*
*pulls at the chain*
*tries in many different ways to get rid of the cuffs*

<--- Podarge

*puts the pics aside and makes tea and food*
*as she finished, she unlocks the door to the chamber and enters*
*shocked* What the hell - ?!
*runs over to the chain where the girl obviously hopelessly entangled herself* Damnit, you almost strangled yourself to death! *cautiously removes the chain from the girl's neck* And blood everywhere - *gently frees the girl's arms from the entanglement*

<--- Twilight

*whimpers, only half conscious*

<--- Podarge

*has removed enough of the chain by now to lay the girl down on the sofa*
*examines the girl's ankle* Damn! You excoriated that much - I can see your bones! *cautiously removes the cuffs and the remainings of the handkerchief* Okay, you won. I'll never use that stuff again! *removes the chain and throws it all back into the basement*
*fetches a big bowl with warm water and a towel and sits down next to the girl*
*cautiously washes all the blood away*

<--- Twilight

*mumbles weakly* Don't - don't tie me - please - take it away - please - please - don't tie me - please -

<--- Podarge

I ALREADY TOOK IT AWAY DAMMIT!

<--- Twilight

*winces at the sound*
*curls up, shaking*

<--- Podarge

Damnit, am I that stupid to treat a child correctly?!
*some vague memories arise*
*remembers that she didn't like to be tied up either*
*shivers*
*looks around just to make sure they're alone*
*shortly shakes herself, trying to shake that feeling off*
*slowly and sadly* I - just - did - the same - damn - thing - that - he did - *closes her eyes and shivers*
*opens eyes again and looks at the girl*
Okay now. *rubs her forehead* Let's restart, okay? I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I can't change it anymore. First of all, let's move, this room is depressing me now! I don't assume you can walk now. *sighs*
*gently forces the girl to lie on her back* Stay like this! *quickly examines her* Everything healed, good.
*sits down on the sofa, leans back and holds her hands over her shoulders* Give me your hands!

<--- Twilight

*slowly sticks up her shaking hands*

<--- Podarge

*pulls the girl up, stands and carries the girl on her back now* Are you heavy! *leaves the room and goes upstairs*
*enters the guestroom and stops* Damn - I almost forgot that they were here, too. *lays the girl down on the bed and covers her with the sheet* You must be hungry. I'll be right back!

<--- Podarge

*walks down into the kitchen* Damnit, I didn't remember that all these years! *collects tea and food and carries everything back upstairs* I wish I could forget it now again! *sighs and enters the guestroom*
*puts the tray onto the side table and looks around* Eh? *cautiously lifts the pillows under which the girl is hiding, curled up*
*softly* It's okay, you can come out now. See, I'll leave this food here now, you can eat and drink what you want, okay? I'll be in the room over there if you need anything. *points*
Now, pens and paper are here - *opens a drawer* - if you want to draw more pictures.
*doesn't know what else to say*
I - I'm very sorry! I know I made a big mistake - I treated you like - well, I treated you wrongly. I - I have to think about myself a bit I guess. *looks away* Sorry. *gets up and leaves the room, leaving the door ajar, and walks over to her bedroom*

<--- Twilight

*watches Podarge leaving through the gap between pillow and bed*
*sniffs*
*feels very hungry*
*slowly climbs out from under the pillows and quickly eats and drinks everything*
*then climbs back under the pillows*
*lies awake all night, afraid she could awake tied up again*

<--- Podarge

*lies awake all night, thinking about herself, the girl and their both past and future*

<-------Hazel

*reappears and falls away from the mirror*
*looks back at the mirror*
<Oh my god.>
*shivers and curls up into a ball*
<Was that real?>
*slowly gets up and walks over to the mirror again*
*looks into it and sees her reflection*
<It can't have been real. But it was! He said "eat her". What was that place>
*covers the mirror and paces up and down the room agitated*

<--------Sarah

*lays on the floor of the cell*
<they have to let me out soon>

<--------Hazel

*walks to the bathroom and looks at herself in a normal mirror*
*sighs and opens the cupboard looking for some paracetamol*
*moves the bottles around and spills some dye on her face and hair*
<Oh no.>
*desperately tries to wash the dye out*
<Please wash out. Please.>
*manages to wash out the dye*
*sighs with relief*
*continues searching for the tablets but doesn't find any*
*reenters the main room and looks at the lump on the table*
*tries not to think about the miror*
*picks up the stone and puts it back in her safe*
<If that mirror was real then I don't need this anymore>
*walks back over to the sofa and sits down*
*resists the urge to uncover the mirror*
*eventually falls asleep from exhaustion*

<-------Sarah

*gets up and looks in the cracked and dirty mirror*
<I hardly recognize myself>
*sighs*
*walks around the cell*

<--- Podarge

*eventually gets up and walks into the bathroom*
*quickly washes her face* Cold! *and dries it*
*walks downstairs* I wonder - I hope Hazel is okay. *checks her watch* Should I call? *checks the date* Might be my last chance. I guess tomorrow I won't have any connection anymore. *picks up the phone and dials Hazel's number again*
*waits*

*after a while, hangs up* I really hope she checks her phone from time to time. *sighs* I shouldn't worry so much - but - *sighs deeper*
*rubs forehead* Damn headaches. *looks out of the window* And I have to work in the garden a bit today. Hmmm. Fresh air is a good idea. *goes upstairs and enters the guestroom*
*cautiously lifts the pillow* Good morning! *smiles*

<--- Twilight

*hugs her knees to try to keep her ankles out of Podarge's range*

<--- Podarge

*smile vanishes* Don't worry. *sighs*
Do you think you can walk? I thought we go out into the garden, it's a nice sunny day. Fresh air will be good for you. *waits for an answer, a response, any reaction, but nothing* Come on, lying there like this all the time can't be comfortable. Besides that, you are kind of tieing yourself up with that. Don't you want to try to move around on your own a bit? *smiles*

<--- Twilight

*thinks about that*
*slowly sits up*

<--- Podarge

*smiles* Good! Wait a moment, I'll get you one of my long shirts, it should be like a gown for you! *gets up and fetches the said shirt* Give me your old stuff, I'll wash it for you.

<--- Twilight

*doesn't understand, just stares at Podarge*

<--- Podarge

*sighs* Okay then. *explains slowly as not to scare the girl again* I will now take the edges of your shirt, there, and pull it over your head. It would be better if you lift your arms then. *winks* Okay, now arms up please!

<--- Twilight

*still doesn't understand, but lifts her arms*

<--- Podarge

*slowly reaches out for the girl's shirt and pulls it off* Keep them up! *takes the fresh shirt and dresses the girl* Okay, you can take your arms back down now. *smiles*

<--- Twilight

*examines the new shirt* Feels different.

<--- Podarge

*smiles as she hears the girl talk* Yes, that's probably because it's a clean one. Clothes tend to get sticky after you wore them a while. Then we have to wash them. I'll show you later where the bathroom is.
Anyway, let's go now. Stand up!

<--- Twilight

*puts her feet onto the floor and stands up*
*sways*

<--- Podarge

Slowly! *puts arms around the girl's shoulders* Do you think you can walk a bit?

<--- Twilight

*nods slowly* Where?

<--- Podarge

*points* Over there, through the door and then turn left.

<--- Twilight

*nods again*
*slowly walks over through the door and turns left*
*waits*

<--- Podarge

Good! Now the stairs, give me your hand, just in case. *sticks hand out*

<--- Twilight

*hides her hands behind her back, staring at Podarge*

<--- Podarge

*slightly angry* Come on, I need to get some work done today! Give me your hand now! *gestures*

<--- Twilight

*winces at the anger in Podarge's voice*
*slowly sticks a shaking hand out*

<--- Podarge

*grabs the hand* So, now downstairs. Step by step. You won't fall, I have you. *leads the girl down* Okay, now there, we're almost in the garden. Here's the door. Now this way. *they arrive in the shadow of a small cherry tree* Okay, we're here. Oh, I forgot the chair. Stay here, I'll be right back! *runs to get the chair*

<--- Twilight

*feels too exhausted already*
*faints and drops down into the grass*

<--- Podarge

*returns with an old deck-chair and a small table* Oh damn!
*quickly puts up the deck-chair, picks the girl up and lays her down in it* No wonder - I forgot the breakfast! *runs into the kitchen and quickly prepares some food and tea*
*returns with everything into the garden and puts it onto the table*
*attempts to wake up the girl* Hey, breakfast time!

<--- Twilight

*fast asleep*

<--- Podarge

*sighs* I'd like to sleep now, too. *goes and gets herself some breakfast*
*finds the pens and paper and puts them onto the table next to the girl, too*
*then changes clothes and starts to work*

*after several hours, throws her work gloves to the ground* Enough for today!
*looks around, stretching*
*walks over to the girl to wake her up*
*notices that the girl obviously has been awake already, since the food and tea are gone, and several pictures were drawn*
*picks one of those up and looks at it*
*smiles as she recognizes her garden, the flowers and the other plants*
*takes another pictures, looks at it and shivers* Why - why am I scared by seeing myself? *looks at the sleeping girl, thoughtfully* Is she scared of me? *feels bad* Guess I have to work on that until that damage is repaired! *sighs*
*walks into the house and makes herself some food*
*eats* Guess I better leave her out there, I'm not really interested in carrying her up and leading her back down tomorrow. *finishes eating*
The night is quite warm, so that should be okay. *puts the dishes away*
*fetches some sheets and walks back to the girl*
*looks down at the deck-chair* I hope this thing is strong enough for us two! *chuckles*
*gently lifts up the girl, spreads some sheet on the deck-chair, then sits down in it herself*
*leans back, pulling the girl up to her and letting her sleep on her chest*
*covers them both with the second sheet*
*listens to the noise of the garden and the nearby forest for a while*
*smiles to herself, feeling home here*
*soon falls asleep*

<--- Twilight

*early morning*
*wakes up*
*notices she's lying on a body*
*looks up and blanches as she realizes it's Podarge's*
*shaking, crouches backwards to the end of the deck-chair*

<--- Podarge

*freezes in the cool morning air and curls up, still sleeping*

<--- Twilight

*watches Podarge*
*takes the sheet from her shoulders and covers Podarge with it*
*soon freezes*
*eventually sneaks under an edge of the sheet and curls up at Podarge's feet to get warm again*
*dozes off*

<--- Podarge

*awakes and yawns*
*sits up, stretches, rub her eyes and shudders* Cold! *wraps arms around herself while trying to get her head clear*
*remembers the girl* Where is she? *notices the warmth at her feet and lifts the sheet*
*smiles* *softly* Hey there! *gently strokes the girl's cheek* Good morning!

<--- Twilight

*winces at the touch*
*looks up at the face above her, shaking*

<--- Podarge

*smiles sadly* Don't be afraid of me! Please! *smile fades*

<--- Twilight

*still freezing*
*grabs the sheet from Podarge's hand and wraps it around herself*

<--- Podarge

*smiles of relief* Oh - you were just cold! *breathes deeply* Okay, now what do you think of a breakfast? Let's go in, there it should be warmer! *takes her shoes, turns them around to see if anything hid in there during the night, then slips her feet into them and gets up* Come! *sticks her hand out* You can keep this sheet, if you want! *smiles*

<--- Twilight

*stares at the hand for a while, then gets up, ignoring the hand, with the sheet wrapped around her*
*stands and waits for Podarge to tell her where to go*

<--- Podarge

*sighs* Can't you at least TRY to trust me? *shivers* Come on now, it's cold here. *puts and arm around the girl's shoulders and leads her into the house and into the kitchen* You can sit down here while I make breakfast. *points at a chair and goes to prepare the food*

<--- Twilight

*sits down on the chair, hugging her knees, wrapping the sheet tightly around her*

<--- Podarge

*puts several bowls, plates and cups onto the table, humming*
*puts the rest of the stuff onto the table, too, and sits down* Enjoy! *smiles* I suggest you eat this first - *points* - before it's getting cold! But careful, don't burn your mouth! *winks and smiles*
*takes some of the said food and starts to eat*

<--- Twilight

*watches Podarge for a while, then does the same*
*realizes how hungry she was*
*soon forgets everything else and just eats*

<--- Podarge

*watches and smiles to self*
*eventually finishes eating and leans back*

<--- Twilight

*eats everything that Podarge left over*

<--- Podarge

*giggles* You've been that hungry? Do you want more?

<--- Twilight

*looks up*
*thinks about the question*
*not sure how this was meant* Not now - but later - maybe?

<--- Podarge

*giggles* Well, tomorrow is another morning, then you'll get breakfast again. Later today you'll get something different. Oh! *slaps her forehead* I completely forgot! Girl, do you remember what you saw before you started to eat? What the full table looked like?

<--- Twilight

*puzzled* *nods*

<--- Podarge

Good! *quickly fetches pens and paper* Here, would you please draw what you saw? *smiles*

<--- Twilight

*stares at the paper*
*leans back and slowly starts to draw*
*soon has filled several dozen of sheets of paper, still drawing picture after picture*

Take care!
See you :)

<--- Podarge

*takes the pictures and checks them all* This is good! Really good! *smiles*
*then finds a picture of herself, eating*
*can't really identify the feelings this picture causes in her*
*then gets an idea* You - you never ate like this before? *puzzled* How could this be? *an idea of the girl's situation forms in her mind* So - she was talking about her sister - never about parents - and that guy is not her father, just Tin Man - which sounds like a nickname, not like a legal one. She never saw pen and paper before - but she draws pictures full of magic - and she seemingly doesn't know about breakfast and manners at table. I guess she and her sister grew up in the forest, without parents. From that picture of her sister, she's older - I think that she fled with that girl here - who knows what happened to their family! They met this ever-sleeping guy, and some weird woman stabbed the older sister - I wonder why! The girl said she found her - so she wasn't present when it happened - otherwise that weird woman would probably have murdered her, too!

*feels slightly excited as that story unfolds in her mind* Yes, that must be how it happened! So, not that narcoleptic guy is a source of danger, that woman is! *searches a while and eventually gets the picture of Flower out*
*stares at it, shivering* She's green! Why didn't I notice that before? A gem on the back of her hand - *puts a hand on her chest, almost feeling the dagger there*
*puts the paper aside and takes a deep breath, trying to shake off the vague sensation of fear and pain* I didn't see any corpse back then in that weird tent - I guess someone already disposed it. *scratches head* So there's no use in calling the police for that - I couldn't even tell that the murder happened!
*looks at the still busy girl* Well, if that green woman ever shows up here - she'll find some stronger opponent than that poor girl! *gets up to make some tea* Which reminds me, I should train a bit more again! I'm getting too weak!
*sips tea*
Hey, girl, want to do some sports?

<--- Twilight

*looks up, puzzled*
*no idea what sports might be*

<--- Podarge

*laughs* I should have known! However, we're going to have some fun today! *gets up and sticks her hand out* Come on, into the garden! *takes the girl's hand and drags her into the garden*
Okay now, look! *points* This is the part of there garden where you are NOT allowed to go to! Never, under no circumstances, will you get near the vegetables! That's the area from that bush - *points* - to that corner - *points* to the back wall. Understood?

<--- Twilight

*looks at where Podarge pointed at*
*nods*

<--- Podarge

Good! *smiles* However, in this part here, with the lawn - if you can still call it a lawn - *giggles* - here you can run and play and do what you want, okay?

<--- Twilight

*looks at where Podarge pointed at*
*nods*

<--- Podarge

*smiles* Somehow I get the feeling you didn't play that much in your life yet. Well, let's start with some exercises to make your body stronger, okay? We'll move slowly, but tell me if you feel exhausted, okay?

<--- Twilight

*nods*

<--- Podarge

Good. *steps back*
Now, just watch me, and then do what I do. It's quite simple. Basic exercises.
*slowly performs some warm-up exercises*

<--- Twilight

*watches a while*
*then vaguely moves her arms a bit, unsure*
*notices that the exercises obviously repeat*
*watches them several times, then eventually imitates the movements*
*after a while, knows how to move and doesn't need to look at Podarge all the time anymore*
*doesn't even realize that Podarge paused*

<--- Podarge

*watches the girl, smiling* Good! Now we modify the movement a bit. Look! *demonstrates*

<--- Twilight

*watches and imitates*

<--- Podarge

*continues the exercising until she notices the girl is out of breath* Okay, let's take a break! *leads the girl to the deckchair and losely wraps the left-over sheet around the girl* We don't want you to cool down too fast, you know! *smiles* Just relax.
*goes back to the center of the lawn and performs her own, advanced exercises now*

<--- Twilight

*watches Podarge, amazed by the variety of movements*
*grabs pens and paper and starts to draw almost as fast as Podarge moves*

<--- Podarge

*eventually finishes her exercises*
*walks over to the girl and smiles as she sees all the pictures*
*takes some and looks at them, feeling the amazement she felt back then when she watched someone else doing these exercises*
*feels proud*
*sits down and hugs the girl*

<--- Twilight

*stiffens*

<--- Podarge

*lets go of the girl and smiles* Let's have some lunch, you must be hungry! *gets up and walks into the house, humming*

<--- Twilight

*looks after Podarge, then gets up and follows*

<--- Podarge

*cooks, humming* And after lunch, I'll make the first handouts out of your drawings! All I have to do is to add my address and the name of the restaurant! *smiles and puts the food onto the table* Hmmm. Are you hungry? Could you - could you draw a picture of this while you're hungry? I wonder if that would make people want to eat now! *hands Twilight pens and paper*

<--- Twilight

*nods*
*draws what she sees and hands Podarge the picture*
*then sticks her hands out towards the food*

<--- Podarge

*sharply* Stop! *looks at the picture* This is really good! Okay, please draw a picture of all these first - *points* Okay? *smiles*

<--- Twilight

*disappointed*
*draws all the said things, gives Podarge the pictures and waits*

<--- Podarge

*murmurs* Perfect! *sits down and writes her name and address above all of the drawings, completely forgetting about the girl*

<--- Twilight

*very hungry, but doesn't dare to eat yet*
*starts to cry silently*

<--- Podarge

*eventually notices the sudden silence and looks up* Hey, what's wrong? Why don't you eat? Don't you like it?

<--- Twilight

*confused* You said - stop - *still crying*

<--- Podarge

*blushes* Oh - I'm sorry! *puts everything aside and gets over to the girl*
*kneels down next to her and hugs her* Listen, if there is something you would like to do - like eating - or if there is something you would NOT like to do - like waiting - just say something! It might be something we can talk about, you know? If you stay silent all the time, I can't know what you want!
*looks into the girl's eyes* Just like you said - just ask! *smiles* And now eat before it gets too cold! *winks, gets up and walks back to her chair*
*sits down and looks at the girl, smiling*

<--- Twilight

*slowly starts to eat, but soon eats faster and faster until all plates are empty*

<--- Podarge

*quietly gets up, fetches more food and puts everything onto the table*
*takes some food for herself and eats*

<--- Twilight

*remembers the stuff about the second portions, quickly draws them and then eats them*

<--- Podarge

*smiles* Thank you! *takes all the sheets of paper and puts the restaurant's new name, "Podarge's Place", and her address, "Witchwood road 1", onto each of them, right below the picture*
*eventually finishes* So. I'll go into the city now and try to spread the news. And I need to visit some friends, so I'll be away for some hours. If you want, you can go into the garden, noone will see you there, or up into your room. Just don't stay down here, when I'm not around, okay?

<--- Twilight

*nods slowly*
*hands Podarge two pens* They don't give lines anymore!

<--- Podarge

*takes the pens* Green and blue. Okay, I'll see if I can find some new for you. *grabs all the handouts, changes clothes, opens a drawer, forages in it for a while and eventually digs few cents out* I hope that's enough for new pens.
*turns to the girl* Okay now, leave please. Go into the garden or upstairs, just don't stay here.

<--- Twilight

*gets up, grabs the remaining pens and goes into the garden*
*lays down in the deck-chair*
*almost immediately falls asleep*

<--- Podarge

*sighs* What a weird situation! *stares at the handouts* Good thing that she never drew before! Otherwise someone might recognize her style! *leaves the house and walks into the city*

* - several hours later, near midnight - *

<--- Twilight

*awakes, slightly freezing*
*gets up and enters the house in order to get upstairs*
*pauses as she hears some noise coming from the door*
*sneaks closer*
*jumps back as the door opens and a body falls into the room*

<--- Podarge

*slowly gets up from the floor and leans against the wall, breathless*
*notices the shadow* Who're you?

<--- Twilight

Twilight.

<--- Podarge

*reaches up to the switch and turns the light on* What - *coughs* - are you doing down here? I told you not to stay down here!

<--- Twilight

I - was going upstairs - *points*
*notices some bruises in Podarge's face*

<--- Podarge

*sees what Twilight is looking at* Yes - don't touch me! It's nothing bad, I'm just out of training. *chuckles* Hell, it was only ONE guy this time, and he's got no chance! *smiles at the girl* Remember the day when some men came in and destroyed everything? That wasn't supposed to happen - but that guy didn't pass the order of his boss as he should have done. *coughs* I guess being fired was the best thing that could happen to him. But he still - is angry - *slides down the wall, too exhausted*

<--- Twilight

*didn't really understand anything*
*gets down on all four and sneaks closer*
*bites lips and closes eyes*
*touches Podarge, and the bright silver light covers both*
*curls up next to Podarge, and as the pain vanishes, she finally falls asleep*
