Willow reached an arm out and pulled at Chelsea's hair. Something in her eyes had changed. "Chelsea-Friend? I wonder what you would taste like in a stew."

Chelsea remembered the crystal dagger, how would it feel, to have it cut your skin?
Would you feel pain or relief? Wouldn’t the crystal look so pretty with fresh blood on it.

“I wonder too.” Chelsea said stiffly.

Quinn tilted her head to the side, and nodded. She would hear Harper screaming down the halls from bad dreams when they were younger, and she decided to go and see her. None of her friends had known that she could shape shift, so it was especially useful for hide and seek.

(Curse you @Nerd I will kill you.)
Harper groaned. "Oh no not Harpy. ANYTHING BUT HARP–" It had been her brother's nickname for her. "Actually…………………….my brother used to call me that." She said softly.

"Harpy. That works." Cade responded.

Scarlet smiled softly. "Harpy it is, then. so, we've got Locky, Harpy, Bunny, and Princess."

Willow giggled and hugged Chelsea, dripping blood onto her.

Chelsea forced a laugh, she felt the blood touch her skin. When Willow released her, she realized her skin was so plain. So plain without the blood. Wouldn’t she look so much prettier with blood?

Quinn bounded back to her spot, and returned to her normal self, sitting down next to Cade and Scarlet.

Willow stood up and licked the blood from her hand, "Chelsea-Friend, where's Scarling? I feel like strangling someone."

Chelsea tilted her head a little, she twirled to face Scarlet. “There.”

Harper smiled. "M'kay." She looked at Cade. Then she realized something. He looked like Benjamin. Her lip quivered slightly. Shattered and broken memories rushed into Harper's mind. The way Benjamin would swing her around, the way he ran into her room to comfort her when she was scared, the way his eyes shined when he laughed as Harper tripped over her feet when she was little.

Scarlet froze. “Pardon?!”

Quinn looked towards Willow with a worried look. "Willow. . . what are you doing?"

Cade waved his hand in front of Harper's face. "Hey, why're you staring?"

Harper looked down. "S-sorry. You just………………….look like my brother." She said, barely above a whisper.

"Oh. Well…I'm sorry?" Cade wasn't sure if it was a complement, and insult, or just a statement.

Harper stood up. "I-I-I-I just need some space right now. I'll be outside." She ran outside and slid down,slumping against the wall and hugging her knees again, letting herself cry.
