Florida House Of Night - Jacksonville - Open To All!

Ana cried out.
So many voices, and all of them screaming.

I heard Ana screaming and ran to her room, I hammered on the door, "Ana it's Dougie" I called to her, "Can I come in...Are you ok?"

"I..I didn't want you to get cold.." I was looking down, unable to look at him. I had cause him enough pain.

He had run to Ana's room. I followed, worried about her.

Ana heard Dougie at the door, there was no one between them now but the voices were still there, all shouting and all locked in her mind.
"Please" She whimprerd, just before crying out again.

I opened the door and ran in, Ana was in a heap on the bed, I ran over to her and scooped her up in my arms, "It'll be ok" I said soothingly

I felt horrible but tried to hide it. I went and got a cold cloth and wiped her forhead.

Ana's eyes burst open, "No, No" She whispered, the voices all burning her mind.
She clamped her eyes shut again and clenched her hands into fists by her ears.
The furnature in the room starting to shake, allong with her body, twitching uncontrolably.

I stood up with her in my arms, I carried he towards the medical room

I followed behind, still needing to talk to Douggie anyways.

Ana shook in Dougie's arms, her body no longer under her control.
She had let it go in order to try and save her mind, trying to block out the voices, trying to build up a wall against them but it wasn't working.
And everytime she shook doors would slam and windows crash.
Shock waves of telekinetik energy leaving her system and catching random items that they passed.

Ana shook violently in my arms, I got her to the medical room and called the nurse

I was worried for her. Jace could have calmed her.

Tears began to streak down her face and Anajust wanted it to be over.
She didn't care how,"Make them stop, stop them screaming" She whispered.
Her body shook again and the doors swung back open, crashing round into the wall.

I flinched as the doors crashed into the walls, I couldn't make people stop thinking

I called spirit to sooth and protect her mind whilst praying to Nyx for her to help

I closed my eyes and called air to try and help soothe her.

Ana could feel air and spirit encasing her mind, trying to dull the roar that burned within.
And it did, to a degree, but the embers were still there, this was still more than white noise and she could 'hear' everything that was comming off those in the same wing of the school as her.

I kept praying to Nyx

I started feeling weak. I slid to the floor but concentrated on Air.

I heard Mina slide to the ground, I turned to see her in a heap, I gently lifted her and put her on the next bed

"Tha..." I felt to weak to speak, but I didn't stop.

"Nyx, please help me..give me the strength to help her...and Douggie..."

The elements wrapped tighter around her mind, air slipping slightly but staying strong. The voices were quietening now, her 'hearing' range shrinking. She was back to hearing only the floor they were on, so manywere still shouting but it was becomming more bareable. Well bareable if she remained focused on the walls, is she slipped, trying to move a hand, or open an eye then the wall would break down and she would have to start again.

I looked between Mina and Ana, "Mina," I said softly, "Don't strain yourself...Don't hurt yourself to help"

"No. I need to do this..." I though about the pain I had been in to try and make me stronger. Tears started coming out involuntarily.

I looked at her, she was crying now, "Mina" I said taking her hand, "Don't hurt yourself" I insisted

I didn't listen. I wanted to make it all go away...go back to when he liked me...More tears came and I knew I was going to faint when this was over.
