"Sure, lets go with that."

A week or two later, when he thought it was safe, Tassek picked up the phone, the yellow pages, and dialed the psych ward. "Hi, I was hoping to admit someone. My roommate's been self-harming and showing signs of suicidal behavior. .....no, he hasn't actually /killed/ himself yet, but he tried a couple of times, and....wouldn't it be a little late by then? Well, okay, I'll talk to him about it. Thanks. Bye." He hung up and sighed.

I heard the whole call. I heard what was going through his head as he dialed the number, and what he planned to do afterwards. I huddled on my bed, shaking. Wait. Wait, I don't want to go there. Please don't send me there. I picked up my phone off the bedside table with a quavering hand and pressed Ivory's contact, watching the door. Is he going to drag me to the ward to 'self-admit' by force? Oh God. Please, no. Well, you'd be better off there. If you're not restrained, you're probably going to hurt someone else, anyways. I'm not. I won't. And how is this conversation anything but mentally disturbed? You could get /help/. Ivory helps me, I have all the help I need. I don't want to be locked up.

Ivory typed away at her keyboard. Papers needed to get done, and due dates were close. Deep down, she felt a pang of worry, but she couldn't quite put her finger on as to why. Her phone rang and vibrated against the desk. She reached over and grabbed the phone before she checked the caller ID. Seculus? She answered it. "Hello?" She asked.

"....Ivory?....Tassek's....Tassek called to put me in the psych ward.......how do I....." My voice was trembling and quiet. I didn't want him to hear me calling her.

Her expression went blank. "Lock the door, stay in your room. Don't come out until I tell you." She spoke in a very serious manner. "I'll take care of this. I'm not going to let him hurt you, alright." She paused for a moment. "I have to hang up for now, but I can assure you nothing bad is going to happen, okay?" Looks like she had a reason to worry.

2015-10-18 23:14:21

"...oh....okay?" I got up and quickly locked the door. "......what are you going to do?"

"Call Ren." Before he could argue, she hung up the phone. Immediately, she moved through her contacts until she landed on Ren's number. She called it and put the phone back to her ear.

Currently they were testing how long they could hang upside down before they noticed the blood rushing to their head. When their phone rang, they reached for it and answered, voice a bit nasally. "Helloooo?"

2015-10-18 23:23:58

●

"Reeennn." She hummed, but it was obvious she was clearly not drunk this time. Her words were laced with anger, and her teeth were clenched. "Could you do me a favor?"

2015-10-18 23:25:18

🌀

They rolled off of the chair to the floor. "Ren kill?"

2015-10-18 23:26:12

●

"Possibly. Tassek is trying to put Seculus in the psych ward. Do you think you could possibly change his mind for me?"

2015-10-18 23:27:07

🌀

They smiled, even though they knew she couldn't see it. "Of course~"

2015-10-18 23:28:18

"Thank you, sweetheart~. Love you." She hummed before she hung up.

Ren got up and went straight to Tassek's place. When they knocked, he answered fairly quickly, giving them an odd look. "...hey? I haven't seen you in a while. What do you --" They shoved him inside and kicked the door closed behind him, smiling the whole time. "You've been a bad boy, Twiggy." "What the -- what're you --" "Plushie has no place in a psych ward. If anyone should be going there, it's me~" He stared at them as they grabbed him by the collar. "Oh you've got to be --" "If you punish him for telling, though, you'll be getting much worse than this:" They nuzzled his neck, licked, then bit. He gasped out in pain and surprise; they were a vampire?! Oh, /shit/. His eyes glazed over. They enjoyed the first-time sensation of his warm, tart blood in their mouth, but managed to drag themselves away before he might've died. Wow, that was /amazing/. He collapsed, and they licked their lips. Maybe a little more...? No, it wouldn't end well. Then they went to Seculus's door and pressed their ear to it. They heard crying. "....Plushie, it's okay...he won't hurt you anymore." Then they turned and left.

Shortly after Ren left, Ivory went to the apartment was well. Well, not entirely, she stopped at their mailbox. She removed the flash drive from her neck, and dropped it into the mailbox before closing it. Have fun with the surprise she left, Tassek.

2015-10-18 23:43:42

🌀

Oh God. Ohgodohgodohgod. He's, he's....is he dead? He's not dead. Am I going to die? Ren's right there, they're /right/...! .....they're gone. I'm....I'm okay. The door's locked.

2015-10-18 23:47:38

●

As Ivory exited the place, she pulled out her phone and called Seculus back, and put the phone up to her ear.

2015-10-18 23:48:34

I grabbed the phone and sobbed quietly into it, trying to calm down. "I-I-Ivory?"

2015-10-18 23:51:12

●

"Hey." She spoke. "It's safe to come out now. I'm pretty sure Tassek has gotten the hint."

2015-10-18 23:52:05

🌀

"He's /dying/, you let Ren use him for their first feeding??"

2015-10-18 23:53:21

●

"I told him very clearly not to hurt you, and he refused to listen."

2015-10-18 23:54:42

🌀

"....he.....he thought he was helping...."

2015-10-18 23:55:12

●

"I've been there. It's not helping."

2015-10-18 23:55:40

"...he has...a psychology major, he thought I needed it......."

2015-10-18 23:56:30

"Just because he is a psychology major doesn't automatically make him your therapist."
