Why'd you only call me when you're high

[It's harder and harder to get you to listen.] 

 A hiss, that's all she got from Neon. That was the only sound he made before he went quiet and watched her silently.

 Frustrated she grabbed a new area and felt it melt away, he gave no reaction. 

 "What are you doing?" She asked through clenched teeth.

 "You need to stop this now, you'll get in trouble." 

 "You're a coward, you deserve to feel the pain." He stared at her dead eyes and let out a shaky breath, with a smile she continued, "You deserve this Neon,all of it, be a man and stop using your ability." 

 She didn't know how he did it but somehow he was able to turn off his body and become numb everywhere, he couldn't feel pain. 

 "I-" He stopped talking and stared at her with his puppy eyes, it only made her want to kill him even more. 

 "It's only fair." She tried again, she knew it wasn't worth it trying to convince him to feel what she was doing to him but she tried anyway. 

 "You said you knew how I felt, you were wrong. Let me make you feel what I'm feeling right now and you can be the judge." It worked. 

 He was breathing heavily and trembling with fear, he stared at his badly wounded arms and let out a shaky breath. And as he closed his eyes he let go, letting it all in just like Yima asked him to. 

 His body hit the ground immediately, the pain was unbearable and his body took over, switching itself off. He was lucky he was a dropper. 

 Yima wasn't satisfied with how things turned out. 

**

 She was caught and told to come to Med's Hall after twenty minutes. She did just that and here she was standing among the other students. Everyone's attention was on the stage that was in front of them. 

 "Today we will witness the punishment of not only one but two undisciplined children. They have chosen to disrespect authority and therefore I believe they deserve a fitting punishment." Med said as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. 

 Lilith and Yima linked eyes and she knew immediately that Lilith was the other person. Yima wondered what Lilith had done. 

 The house leaders stepped forward from behind Med and waited. 

 Whatever punishment Med had in mind was going to be brutal, she could tell from the way his eyes lit up with excitement and his lips pulled up into a genuine smile, he was enjoying himself." 

 "House leaders, what punishment do you suggest?" He asked and turned around to face them. 

 "Cleaning all the training areas and a few whips." It was Adira who spoke.

 "Anything else, something that will guarantee some loss of blood." Med said as his smile grew. 

 "A night in the cells in addition to what Adira suggested." Zelda said. Med wasn't satisfied.

 "Make it four." Nyx blurted out.

 "Done." Med turned to search the crowd of excited, unbothered and sad students with eager eyes. 

 When he's eyes landed on Lilith and then Yima he clapped his hands together and said, "Why don't we meet our lucky winners?" The students were looking around trying to guess who was going to be picked. 

 "By level of disrespect, the first position goes to none other than Yima." 

 She could feel eyes boring into her trying to figure out what she did. It was a surprise that most of them knew her name. 

 "Last but definitely not least, Lilith. I'm disappointed in you and I expected better." 

 Lilith was glaring at him with surprise, her eyes demanding justice. It's not fair, those were the words written all over her face. 

 Whatever she did, she wasn't alone. 

 "Zelda, since you are their leader, you'll be in charge of punishing them. And if one of them repeats such behaviour you'll be the one taking their punishment." He marched off the stage and Hunter followed him into his office.

 "I'm going to fix this." Yima said as she paced around her room.

 "How?" Lilith asked and fellow her bed.

 "What does he like?" 

 "Med?, no one knows." 

 She went back mentally to the day they met, the way he reacted to her compliment. Yima smiled like a Cheshire cat. 

 "Is he married?" Lilith narrowed her eyes at Yima's question.

 "Why?" 

 "Just tell me." 

 "No. The only breasts that man has seen are his mother's." Lilith said and Yima laughed. 

 "Gud, I'm about to change that." She hoped her seductive skills were still as good. 

 "Go and take a bath, I think I have everything you need in my closet." Yima didn't hesitate.

Lilith was done after five full hours of pushing and pulling. Their room smelled of soap, perfume and flowery lotion, they probably smelt the same.

 Yima walked towards the full length mirror. Lilith kept her face natural and clean so that he wouldn't suspect her immediately. But the dress, the dress was something else.

 It was of a vibrant green color, with a slit that stopped mid thigh exposing her smooth dark skinned leg. 

 She looked like she was on her way to have dinner with the king. She hoped for two things, their plan to work and also for Kai to see her and drop down on his knees begging her to forgive him for choosing Estelle. 

 Sparks erupted in her body and she smiled. 

 In that moment and the moments that followed, Yima's mood changed.

 "Looks like I did a great job." Lilith said.

 "You did an amazing job." Yima kept changing positions, looking at herself from different angles. 

 She felt different than she felt a few hours ago, she felt happy and determined. After all she had nothing to lose, she was going to die anyway.
