Don't scream,
A gravelly voice said in her ear. She wanted to fight whoever had said that, but she couldn't move. There were tearing sounds as her clothes were removed. Once again she felt him on top of her, breaking her... No, please, no...
Kennie's eyelids flew open, she was in a cold sweat and completely entangled in her sheets. Tears automatically came to her eyes as she got out of bed. Not allowing herself to sob, she changed from her silk nightdress into sweatpants and a tank top and put on her slippers, shivering, though not from cold. She could never sleep, she couldn't go through that night again. She walked quietly to the commons and threw herself on the couch. It was probably around two in the morning or so. She used the pillow she had carried with her to muffle her crying. Nothing could comfort her now...

The blonde hufflepuff walked into the commons, yes she shouldn't have been walking around, but she had permission. She had been accompanied by Dumbledore off the grounds for a while. As she walked into the room she noticed Kennie on the couch a pillow to her face. The soft calming voice came from her lips. "Kennie..." maybe she should go get simon. Sara-May was sweet and though people tended to be put back by her upbeat behavior at times she didn't let it bother her or tried not to anyway. She definately wasn't perfect, she had tons of flaws and she could get very emotional fast depending. She definately wasn't someone you'd want to get pissed off. Of course she had been able to hold back and managed not to get that angry so far.

Kennie looked up from the fine stitching of her pillowcase at a somewhat familiar voice. It was the girl that was in her house, a sixth year since they shared the same Herbology class. Sara-May, wasn't it? But Kennie found herself not caring. The question was, why was this girl bothering her? She didn't want her help with what she was going through. Nobody would be able to take away her pain. "Wh-what do you want?" Kennie asked quietly, tone barely louder than a whisper.

"I know what happened.. didn't see it till it was too late.. terrible really.. seeing something like that.. specialy done to someone you sort of know. " Her voice was calming, but her tone changed, she had that voice good for lullaby's and storytelling. " I saw it about two hours ago, went to dumbledore couldn't take it.. we went ot visit Cedric.. and now I'm back here trying to bug you.. or so you probably think... but infact I was just going to see if you wanted me to get Simon.. I figure you wouldn't possibly want to converse with someone like me." She knew people didn't like her because of how she was. That cheerful attitude and soft voice seemed to annoy everyone. She moved towards the bottom of the staircase and looked to her. "Shall I fetch the boy." Even though she was born and rained in Louisiana for most of her life she still could pull off a fake english accent once in a while, specially when she was in a bit of a negative or sorrowful mood. Yes the sweet cheerful hufflepuff that most seemed not to like did have bite, it wasn't usualy sharp like tonight, but it could be if she allowed it to. Usualy when she got in a mood like this it was part of a stage.. such as stress which then ends up turning into tears which then turns to anger.

Kennie found herself getting annoyed at the girl with her fake English accent. If she was an American, she should at least talk like one, if there was one thing that could annoy now it was a faker. But she held these comments back, she was after all, offering to do something kind for her. She clutched her pillow closely to herself, as if hugging it, still trembling slightly. "If you could," Kennie whispered softly. "I-It would be v-very kind of you," There, she had restrained, she felt somewhat proud of herself. Kennie sniffed.

She smirked as she moved up the stairs. She wasn't smirking because of how she delt with the situation, it was because of how Kennie was reacting. It mean her mind was takin off of the incident and onto her being rude.. which could have it's perks. She never acted a certain way with out reason, people tended not to realize that. Though she knew the affects probably wouldn't last long on Kennie. She also knew the girl was survivor tough, and Simon talked of how he wished he was as strong. She moved up the stairs and off to get Simon.

The smirk came off his face as he was half way down the staircase where Kennie could possibly see his face. "Sara-May says you were being fake nice.. said she didn't mind but I know her.. she's a sensitive person.. more so after her boyfriend died .. so try to be actually nice to the girl.. she's a bit... different yes.. but still." He was going to try to keep up with Sara-May had said she had done, distract her from thinking about anything else. Sara-May could take a hit for the team so to speak.

Be nice to Sara-May? Kennie was seated on the couch, trembling from fright, heart heavy with pain and Simon was telling her to be nice to the strange girl? But she didn't have it in her to aruge, but still, she had been trying to be polite and this was the thanks she got? Politeness wasn't exactly her strong suit. Kennie looked away from Simon and back tot he fire, feeling that maybe she shouldn't have asked Sara-May to send him down, he was doing the exact opposite of comforting her right now. Kennie kept quiet, more tears coming to her eyes, the fire before her looked blurry now.

"I'm sorry .. we just thought.. that maybe you'd get your mind off it.. thinking or getting angry at something else.. obviously that backfired." He moved over towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry." he commented his eyes watching her. "Please forgive me... come on you can forgive me right? talk to me.." He ran his hand through her hand. "I promise i'll get revenge.. I promise.." His fingers ran through her hair.

"You're so s-stupid!" Kennie cried then threw her arms around Simon and started crying onto his shoulder. She clung to him tightly, just needing him to hold her, whisper in her ear and tell her that everything was going to be all right, even if Kennie knew in her heart that it was not going to be okay. Just the empty optimism would do. Her eyes stung from all the crying she had been doing of late, she didn't eat very much and hadn't got a ton of sleep. Kennie was a real mess, and it showed too. The letter sent to her parents had gotten replied to, they had asked if Kennie wanted to come home for a few days. She had been unsure of how to reply to it. She wasn't sure if she was going to or not.

He smirked with a soft laugh. " Iknow." He placed his arms around her, just holding her his hands went to her back running up and down gently. "Everything Fine.. I'm here.. you know I'll always be there for you right... " He wanted to figure out something an invention that all three of them could wear.. maybe a whistle of sortor something. So if there was trouble or they needed one of the others to be there they would be the ones to hear it. He thought about the idea now for the last couple nights. " I think what doesn't kill you.. only makes you stronger.. " He removed one of his hands and ran his fingers across her hair, gently placing it behind her ear. " How about we talk about something else.. to try and clear the mind... " He smiled gently brushing the tear away from her face with his finger. "I hear a 7th year wants to ask you to ball."

Clear her mind. Yeah, that was really going to help her now. She felt that nothing would take it away. Seeing what had happened to her again every time that she closed her eyes, nothing having the same appeal that it used to. Kennie was taken off guard by the sudden change in subject. A seventh year wanted to take her to the upcoming Halloween ball? Kennie had never really paid too much attention to her love life, she had had a boyfriend once before, but the relationship didn't really go too well. Besides, dating was the furthest thing from her mind now. She had found it hard to trust anyone apart from Simon and Joey, she didn't even really want to go to the ball. "Who?" Kennie said feebly, trying her best to keep her mind on the present topic, though not succeeding.

"Some gryffindor." He stated "I Think he's friends with Sara-May..." He kept one arm around her as they would sit on the couch. His hand running up and down his arm so that he made sure she was warm. " Maybe you should be flattered.. I mean he's two years older than you." He of course only heard this through the halls.

"Who d-did you hear that f-from?" Kennie asked in a quiet tone. It didn't feel right to her. Like it wasn't her speaking, more like someone else was using her voice to communicate with Simon. "Y-You do realize that a-anything heard in t-the halls could be r-rubbish, right?" It was hard to keep her voice steady from all the crying she had been doing. These days, Kennie rarely spoke in a tone louder than a whisper, even when in a louder environment. She could feel the teachers watching her a bit more closely, like they didn't trust her. Were they afraid she was going to kill herself during class? Although they were educated, teachers could be fairly unwise.

" I don't remember.. I think his name was Charles.. the guy that wants to aks you.. not the guy that told me." He kept watching her face. "Then again the school might make it manditory to be set up blindly with that form we had to fill out.. IF so then.. I guess I won't ask Joey.. " He took a deep breath and looked towards the fire. "Don't act surprise.. i know you know.. "
