"skulduggery?" she said

"yes?"

"in the cabinet to the left of the fridge, is there a orange pill bottle?" She asked, not taking her hand off her head

Her eyes were still closed, but she heard skulduggery shuffling around and making his way to her medicine cabinet, she didn't know why she put them on one of the highest cabinets, she couldn't reach it without standing on something, she made a mental note to move her medicine, maybe she'd do it tommorow, she had an abundance of spare time after all

"there's a lot of orange bottles" skulduggery said

"is there one labelled triptans" she said, slightly loudly as skulduggery was on the other side of the room

she removed her hand from her head as skulduggery walked over, handing her the small bottle, she grabbed two of the pills and sealed them dry, then tossed the now empty bottle onto the counter

"thank you" she said as the migraine instantly began fading

"my pleasure" skulduggery said, taking the empty bottle and putting it in the trash

math

Amelia walked into the every 'quiet kids' worst nightmare.

the lunchroom.

She didn't know where to sit, sure, she looked around, no empty tables.

Amelia figured very few people would actually recognise her, for one, she had an actual uniform now, she had grown nearly a foot and her face in general had changed a lot

She wandered through the chatting friends and saw someone she recognised sitting alone, putong over a book, or maybe a paper? doesn't matter. Irrelevant .

Omen Darkly.

Not the chosen one, but his brother, she sat down on the chair opposite of him

"hello" Amelia said

"long time no see" omen said, only recognising her by her voice

"yeah, very long time"

"So," omen said, trying desperately to start a conversation

"Where've you been" he said

"I got taken away from my parents, and I've spent a bunch of time recovering in the hospital, and then I got a new mum" Amelia said, eating idkkk orange chicken maybe

"that's cool" omen said, not really sue what to say to this

Amelia craned her neck, trying to see what he was working on,

"watcha working on"

"math" he groaned

"here" she said coming around

"I'll show you how to do it, it's pretty easy actually" she said, getting up and coming behind her

"for you" he said glumly, Amelia laughed at this

"okay so, you have to find two spots the line intersects on the graph" she said

"for example, here and here" she said, pointing at two spots

"So, you have to make a triangle type thing, doyou have a pencil I can borrow?"

omen handed her a pencil

"Then you make a triangle type thing" she said

"then, you have to count how many units it goes up" she said, counting

"in this case, it's 9, that's called the rise, then, you see how many it goes to the sides, so here it's 3"

"makes sense so far" he said

"good" she said

"so, the vertical one is called the rise, the horizontal one is the run, and it's always rise over run, so it's 9/3, then you simplify it to 3/1, so, your answer is y=3x"

"Wow, that.. actually makes sense, how do you even remember all of this" one asked, sounding confuzzled

"I have a sigil on my hand that gives me a near photographic memory" she admitted

"woah, that... is. That even allowed?" He asked

"yep, I made sure to do my reasearch first"

"that's pretty cool, I've always wanted to be a singum linguist"

"hey, me to " Amelia said with a smile

they sat in silence for a moment

"I can give you the same one if you'd like" she said randomly

"alright" he said, not expecting her to grab his arm

"let me know if this hurts, like, even a tiny bit, because that means I'm doing it wrong"k

"don't you need equipment?" He asked

"eh, nah" she said as she started carving with her nail

omen flinched, not because it hurt, but because he was expect8ng it to hurt

when Amelia had taken about a minute and a half, she looked up

"I'm about to make the last stroke, if I've done it right, then your going to remember most of your life in every, very vivid detail, are you sure you want me to do this

omen thought for a moment

"yes" he said, and Amelia made the final slash, and a bunch of memories came flooding into his head

30/10 (almost Halloween!!) 

okay so I know what I'm going to do since I have no mini one shot ideas like, at all! every night I'm going to have my Alexa play a song, and I'll write a one shot abt China or smth that goes with it  (knowing my music taste were going to be torturing all the poor characters 🥰)

 luv you all 🧚‍♀️ xx
