Nikki's Room

*opens door and walks in*

I haven't been here in a while..
Feel free to change into any clothes, Rizz, while I wash up for bed.

*smiles and leaves for a few minutes then comes back ready for bed*

*yawns and crawls into bed*

Goodnight Rizzo!

*smiles*

Goodnight, Nikki!!

*lays down on the bed*

*falls asleep slowly, wishing for a dream-free night, and hand clutched around Scorp's ring*

*a note that lays next to Nikki on the bed*

Nikki,
I am so sorry. But I have to do this. I have to get out of here. Doing nothing is going to kill me. I promise I'm not headed off to go and find Scorp. I wouldn’t be able to, I'm no tracker. But I have to do something. I'll be safe, I promise.
Tell Jumpy. Tell her it’s my turn. I know I'll regret this so much later, but right now, it’s an impulse, and I'm going with it.
I would rather the only person who comes to find me is Scorpius. But if you must, you must. I'm not leaving any clues though.
You and Stefan go and find Scorp. If you want to send anyone after me, send Jackie and Crash, or even Daniella. Jumpy needs to stay home, and Angelo with her. I'm not stupid. I'll let her chew me out when I come home. I know she will, because she cares. But she needs to be at home. Maybe I'll come back before you find me… who knows?
I have my phone. But I'm not going to guarantee that I'll answer when you call.
I'm so terribly sorry for doing this right now. It’s so selfish, but I can’t help it. I'm confused and upset. I just need to get away.
I love you. And I love everyone else. Let them know.
Forever and always,
Rizzo Mancini

*knocks on Nikki's door, cringing slightly when her arm hurts*

Nikki?

Nikki are you in there?

Nikki... I...

*Whispers so no one else in the house can hear*

I don't smell Rizzo anymore...

*rolls over and is immediately met with a note, as well as knocking*
*reads*

O.O

*pulls out phone and calls Rizzo while opening the door for Jackie and showing her the note*

*reads the note*

I.... I knew it..

Oh no!

*sits down on the edge of the bed*

No answer?

*shakes head and voicemail picks up*

Rizzo.
I don't know where you are but I know I will have no change on your decision to leave.
I just want to let you know to stay safe.
Stefan and I will find Scorpius and he is going to come to get you.
If you don't come back first.
Take care of yourself and Pandora Rylan.
I love you, Rizzo.

*hangs up and looks at Jackie*

I'll be right back. I need to speak with Jumpy.

*grabs note from Jackie and runs to find Jumpy*

Okay.
Nikki.
I need to go get her.
Don't argue with me please.
Don't tell Angelo either.
Jackie. Please. Nikki. Please.

... You want to go get her??

I can...

I can try to find her.

I really want to do this... I CAN help... this is the first thing I've been able to potentially help with... Rizzo is my friend.... I... Gah

*sighs*

Jumpy.
Angelo just got you back.
We just got you back.
I know I won't be able to talk you out of this..

*looks at Jackie*

Jackie, you are in no condition to go tracking someone.
I heard the pain you were in when you only knocked on my door..

*head falls*

I...

I understand.

*blushes*

Stupid injuries

*sigh*

Thats right.
You won't.
I'm sorry.
She needs me.

*kisses Jakie's head*
You are staying here bessie.
I can't have you hurt again.
*hugs*
I'll be back as soon as I can.

*hugs Jumpy back*

*sighs again*

Be safe, you two...

*goes back to her room*

*hugs Jumpy*

Stay safe.
Call me if you need anything.
Or anything happens.
Okay?

Understood.
*leaves and shuts door behind her*

*on the phone*
Nikki?
This is Stefan Moretti.
I think I might be able to help you out.
Can you meet somewhere?

*answers phone*

Okay.
We can meet somewhere.
What's a place convenient for you?
I can be there quickly.

KiKi's Dinner
In down-town.
*hangs up*

*hangs up*

KiKi's Dinner..

*grabs a small wallet, phone and puts it in pocket*

*runs out of her room*

*walks down the hallway and feels eerie by it's emptyness*

Goodness..things don't feel right...

*sighs*

*the door creeps as it opens*

It feels like I haven't been in here forever, even though it as only a few days tops.

*sits on bed and thinks*

I don't even know if I can sleep...

*sighs*

I can't stand this silence...

*starts singing softly*

Pie Jesu
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem

Agnus dei
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem

Sempiternam
Requiem

--[Pi Jesu Requiem by Andrew Lloyd Webber]

*stomach growls and leaves room to go find food in the kitchen*

*sighs and walks around the room to stereo*

*turns on some music and begins dancing in the privacy of her room*

This is more like it...

*laughs to herself and begins cleaning up some things*

*finally gets out of bed and gets up*

*stomach growls*

And my stomache says it's time to eat..again.

And it's time to change this life around...

*opens door and goes down hallway*

*comes in and quietly shuts the door*
*sighs*

Home sweet home...

*changes quickly and lays down on the bed*

Let the nightmares begin..

*passes out*
