Lucien barked his laughter, one quick outburst before he reigned it in to more subdued chuckling.

“Is that what you think?” Perhaps he could spare a moment for the boy after all. “Would you like to know how I did it? Would you like to hear how he screamed?”



Lucien squeezed his eyes shut, rubbing at his temples. This could not be happening, it wasn’t real. Just...just a trick she was playing. Only...the longer he waited was the more sure he was that his sister wasn’t about to break into a cheeky grin and tell him he needed to learn to laugh more.

In truth, there was nothing funny about this at all.

“What’ve you done?” His voice was dangerously low. He took firm hold of her by both shoulders, shaking her some. “You shouldn’t have...he should’ve have.” This wasn’t the greater good, this was awful. This went far beyond what they envisioned for the world. It went into territory he had often had nightmares about. When the new world came, she needed to be there.

“Alphonsine. No. We’ll fix this, we will. It’ll be fine. It doesn’t have to...we don’t have to.”

He couldn’t. The thought turned his stomach, tying it into painful knots. “Not like this.” Surely she could see what he saw.



Disgusting.

Lucien spared only the shortest glance down at the puddle forming before setting them back on her face. Marred with pain, it was an improvement. The Headmaster gave her a moment to compose herself before he spoke.

“I don’t want to have to call you in here again. There are many who could replace you but I don’t suspect the children will be better off with you rotting in the ground somewhere.” Or swimming permanently with the giant squid.

“Can I expect your cooperation moving forward?” Or did she need a second dose?


Her sight was blurry and her body was numb with pain. She laid for a long time before she was making out sound and started to focus back on where she was. It seemed like so much energy to even lift her head let alone get up and move to her feet. Her five foot frame was not equipped for such pain, but she wouldn't be dying on the floor of this office, not today.

She never truly felt she wasn't cooperating, but it was obvious that coming to a happy medium with this mad man was never going to work. She just hoped her words of encouragement in class helped keep spirits up even during this time.

Slowly she lifted her self up to a sitting position and tried to get her vision to focus on Lucien. Not being able to find her voice she just nodded a weak nod. She just needed to get out of this office.
