Six Degrees of Separation

Happy JenLisa Day!! A flurry of updates just for you guys! Enjoy!

————————————————————————

My blankets give me a heat flash so I throw them off me in a huff. I'm already pissed and irritated and disgruntled and angry and every other word for it. I don't need this disgusting heat to make it worse for me.

I struggle out of this damn medical bed and push my hair out of my face. I need to get out of here and find Lisa. She disappeared last night with no trace, along with all the witches, and I haven't been able to call her back to me. She always comes back, always, when I want her to. I don't even have to say it out loud for her to come to me. With the way I'm feeling, too, should have her running to my side. Something's happened to her and no one is listening to me. Why won't anyone listen to me?

"Alright so I've got sausage or bacon," Jisoo declares as she enters my room, two wrapped sandwiches in her hands. She looks up at me from the labels on the sandwich wrappers and frowns. "Whoa, hey. You're not supposed to be up. Follow the rules, girlie. Isn't that your thing?"

"I need to find her," I mutter, looking for those slippers one of the doctors got me so I wouldn't have to freeze my feet on the way to the bathroom.

"We got ya," Jisoo says. "But, uh, you shouldn't be up. Sandara? Dara!"

Sandara rushes into the room, spots me, and rolls her eyes. "Seriously? This is the fourth time. Get back into bed, please."

I wave my hand dismissively and skip the slippers. "She's out there somewhere." Holding the back of my gown together, I scuffle towards the door. "We have to find her."

"We will," Sandara soothes, moving to block my path. "The General is exhausting all his channels to find her."

"It's not enough!"

My voice echoes o the walls and both Sandara and Jisoo stare at me. I wipe my face, slipping my hand into my hair to scratch across my scalp in frustration. "It's not enough," I repeat, quieter this time.

Sandara adjusts her glasses and gives me a sympathetic look. "Sit down."

I groan but do it, falling heavily on the bed. All I'm concerned with is getting Lisa back from whatever Hell she might be in. I don't have time to sit here and do nothing. She wouldn't do that. She'd be out there, boots on the ground, exhausting every option she had.

"We're all doing what we can," Sandara says softly. "I've seen it myself. The General is just as upset about this as you are."

"They took her, Dara," I almost sob. "They... They took her. Lisa. How could they do that? She's a damn superhero and they took her!"

Sandara nods and accepts my rage without attempting to shut me down. "I know. I know."

"In our own home!" I continue, almost growling. "They wrecked my home, Dara. They kidnapped six people and a child with no issues. They... they fucking took them all!"

"They did." She doesn't mind my foul language, nodding.

"But they didn't take me," I finish lamely, sagging. "Why?"

"I don't know."

"Obviously they only wanted magical creatures," Jisoo chimes in, munching on the bacon sandwich she brought.

"Chu!" Sandara scolds.

My brow furrows as Jisoo shrugs and continues to eat. "No," I mumble. "She's right. They were all witches, and Lisa is a part of their world. And the witches were afraid!" I stand abruptly and throw my hands up. "We have to tell the General. There's- there's a pack of crazy people killing witches and they took Lisa. We have to find them."
