As Emilie began walking through the halls, her eyes were first drawn to her hands. They felt better after having run them through the warm water. It was as if she'd managed to rid them of those horrid things she'd seen lining the path up the mountains. Only, she hadn't truly removed anything. She'd never touched those rotting bodies, those impaled by those natural stakes that lined the trail she'd only found the other night. Funny. What she'd hoped could be a game, a means to self challenge, was no longer proving to be fun any longer. Suddenly, her dark eyes shifted and they found themselves focused on the bruises that blossomed over her pale flesh.
Emilie scowled softly just then, her thoughts running slightly wild with self disappointment and self loathing. Truly, she was a wretched individual who was good for nothing. She could barely walk a trail without panicking. Then again... how many were lined with... A shiver ran along her spine and she felt another urge to wash her hands come upon her. She shook her head and brought her hands to her thighs instead, allowing them to rub against them several times over before finally letting them drop to her sides. She felt hopeless--a jittery mess who was lost in a world much bigger than herself.
Suddenly, Emilie heard a soft scuffle, her head turning in the direction of the sound. She recognized the man standing there across the way, though they'd never actually spoken to one another. Then, that was often the way at Taunton, or so it seemed, but she also hadn't been there for very long. He had an odd way about him and seemed to cherish his privacy and alone time. She wondered what had him out and about at such a late hour... was it for reasons similar to her own? A need to get out and feel like you belonged somehow? That there weren't those out there judging and possibly pursuing and hoping for your demise? She could only wonder, could only speculate. The only way to find out was to...
"H-hello," Emilie said, her voice soft and shy. "My name is Emilie." Slowly, she walked toward the man. Biting down on her lip, she brought her arms up and hugged her middle. Once a few feet away, she gave him a smile. "Nice night for walking, isn't it?"
