        Cleo had only crashed the reporter's birthday party just a few moments before. It'd been        a SPITEFUL move. For Cleo, the idea had been a bit of a win-win situation. She'd get to        go to a party--something she was always up for--and she'd get to possibly piss off that         snappy, annoying reporter.                 Her plans to piss off the woman had lingered far from her mind. Something that had                been far gone when someone dared to say that she couldn't down as many shots as                 they could. Now, Cleo's attention was focused far more on the activity around her. She                 particularly gravitated towards ONE LONER who seemed to be having no fun at all.                 That was simply unacceptable in her hazed mind.         " It's a PARTY, " She stated, matter of factly, " So, why are you standing over in the corner? "           Without invitation, the woman grabbed hold of the other's hands and tugged on them.         " Come on, dance with meeee, " Cleo demanded, voice taking on a childish whine.

argent, a.

          April had been forced to go to the hospital, upon insistence of the medics at the scene.      She’d been waiting around for hours to be seen, clearly not a major trauma patient,                         she’d considered getting up and walking out numerous times             but she didn’t want to draw attention to herself. Couldn’t afford to draw attention.                          So instead she’d sat patiently in the waiting room, watching others come and go,                                       watching worried friends and family pace back and forth.

         One girl in particular had caught April’s attention, she thought maybe she recognized her,                           but wasn’t really sure why - it all became clear when the nurse appeared.          Sawyers name caught April’s attention, and she barely heard what she said next,                but the dark haired girls reaction was enough to her to garner what the news had been. 

          Slowly she got to her feet and walked over to the girl that had known her old friend.                               (“I’m s-sorry… but did you saw Sawyer Kingston….?”)

                The woman waited for the nurse to tell her that a m i s t a k e had been made.                 But, the expression on her face didn't change at all. It remained solemn, now                   perhaps even a bit saddened as she witnessed Cleo's reaction. She felt a                 hand, the nurse's, reach out and give a comforting grasp to her shoulder as                 she slumped with the HEARTACHE of the news. " I'm so sorry, " The woman                 muttered before she left to give Cleo her own privacy.         She wasn't sure when the tears had began, but soon she felt them rolling down         her face. How could this have happened? How could she have let this happen?         She was supposed to protect Sawyer, keep her safe. And now? Now, she was         gone. She had lost ANOTHER person that she loved. Cleo didn't hear the other         girl approach her as she sat there and let her grief overtake her. At the sound of         her voice, the brunette looked up at her with tearfilled eyes.                 " I---yes, I... did, " She responded, voice weak.

        A knock on the door startled her awake. She didn't even remember falling back        to sleep. Understandably, she hadn't went into work that day. She was still trying         to recover from the incident at the gala--both physically and mentally. So, most of           her day had been spent still dressed in her pajamas as she dozed in and out on        her couch. Bleary eyed, she crossed the floor of her apartment and opened the door.         A weak smile appeared on her features as she saw Nolan standing there in front of         her. " Hey.. come in, " She spoke hoarsely as she stepped aside.

                It had sort of surprised her that her immediate thought had been to find him.                     They never had exactly been close. She'd just been his sister's best friend and                     probably a bit of a pain in the ass for him for the most part. But, she knew he                    was hurting. She'd always been there for Sawyer and now she would be there                     for him. She HAD to. It was what her best friend would have expected.         Her search had led her to Bash's apartment where she began knocking        on the door. She wasn't too surprised when there was no answer. There         was a part of her that wondered if he was even home. But, he had to be.         He understandably hadn't shown up for training and she couldn't imagine        he would be out right now. Cleo tried the door and was surprised when it         swung open. Surprised, but concerned. The woman immediately went on         high alert as she stepped over the threshhold.                 " Bash? " She called out. She shuddered when her voice echoed out in the empty                apartment. But, still, her feet carried her forward as she began to search the place.                 " Are you here? " Cleo almost whispered as she walked towards his bedroom door                that was slightly ajar. It was there that she found him sitting down on his bed. His                 gaze seemed to be far away--like he didn't even know she was there. She walked                 into the room towards him and sat down beside him. For once, she didn't know what                 to say. So, instead she reached out shakily and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

TYBALT & VIOLA

TYBALT: If you could kill one person without consequences, who would it be?

   “ I don’t really sit around thinking about who I would murder so this isn’t exactly an easy question to answer. But, I guess, if I had to choose then it would be whoever took my fiancee, Michael. “

VIOLA: How skilled of a liar are you?

   “ Pretty decent, I suppose. But, then again, it kind of depends on who I’m lying to. It is much easier for me to lie to strangers. The people that I know and love however? That’s a little DIFFICULT. “

♱

♱ What do they think awaits them after death?

 She honestly doesn’t know. Her parents didn’t really raise her any sort of organized religion. Cleo has always believed that there has to be something out there making things happen though. As far as the afterlife, she wants to believe that she’ll be somehow reunited with all of those that she has lost although she is never entirely certain about that.

☹

☹ Name one person they would kill for.

 The answer to this question would have easily been answered with one person before, Sawyer Kingston. Sawyer was like a sister to her--her best friend--and she would have done anything to protect her. But, now that Sawyer is gone, it is hard to really narrow it down to that one person that they would kill for without question. Truth be told, Cleo would honestly kill for anyone that she cares about--especially if it came down to the life of someone she cared about and another person.

♒ If they could choose how to die, how would they want to go?

 Cleo would honestly choose to die in the act of protecting someone else. She holds a lot of guilt for not being able to protect her fiancee and now Sawyer. So, if she got the opportunity, she would want to try to protect someone that she loved even if that meant taking her last breath to do so.
