WHO: Maddy and Jameson Kemp, and Lena Rainmayr
WHAT: Discussing demon torture and a realisation
WHEN: Friday afternoon
WHERE: Hospital
WARNINGS: ...demon torture discussion and language



When Jamie had messaged Lena to let her know the coast was mostly clear of Kemps, Lena made her way to the hospital like she had promised. She was feeling awkward and a little worried how Jamie would react to her now very black eye. She almost felt guilty for facing him with the proof of what his father had done to her on her face. Like it was her fault Jamie might learn the bitter truth of the matter.

But it wasn't her fault. No matter what Charlotte said and no matter what anyone else believed.

She found Jamie in the hallway where he said he would be, and she was relieved to see it was indeed free of other Kemps. She gave him a sheepish hello, awkwardly touching her tender cheek without really meaning too. "Heh. Uhm...does she know I'm coming?"

Seeing Lena's black eye made him feel slightly sick. But at the same time, he still had a hard time believing his father had done that. He didn't want to get into a shouting match, though, so he swallowed the words.

"Yeah," he said instead. "I told her you were on your way. She's in here." He beckoned Lena to follow him into the room, calling softly, "Hey, Aunt Maddy, Lena's here."

Maddy sat up, which was easier than ever, now that she was on meds pretty much all the time. Her ribs were bandaged, so she was either lying down or at an angle when she sat up, but that was OK.

She started to offer up a tentative smile for Lena, but stopped short when she saw the other woman's face. "Shit, Lena, what happened?" she asked.
