Where Has My [F L O W E R] Gone? ((TAG;;cassie))

[Deleted]

”Chrysanthemum? Where are you?” Was all that could be heard coming out of room 301 as the telepath inside was starting to go into something of a small panic. None of her other roommates here in at the moment so she wasn't sure that she could really ask them for help. Not to mention, she wasn't exactly the most talkative even where they were involved. Hell, Soph wasn't even sure who all her roommates were, knowing only what they looked like. But that didn't quite matter at the moment.

The white noise she usually heard didn't see to have any sort of effect on her at this second, too much worry filling her as she fumbled through every single item in her room. How had this happened? Who had let her out? Finding that the ferret wasn't anywhere in her room, she looked over at the big cage in the corner of her room once again. Nothing, not even a clue as to where she had gone left in it. All that she saw was the little 'door' was opened just a crack, having probably swung closed after Chrysanthemum wiggled her way out.

Sophie collapsed against her bed, eyes staring up at the ceiling as she started trying to get a handle on her breathing. Each breathe seemed to come in as a sort of exasperated gasp. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest like it usually did when she was going into a panic attack and it was starting to get harder and harder to breathe. As the attack started to worsen, the white noise she had been so eagerly able to ignore moments before that was now pounding in her head, which seemed to just add insult to injury.

'Whatamigoingtodowhatamigoingtodowhatamigoingtodo,' she was thinking at what would have been said so quickly, the words would have started to merge together. While she prayed to whatever deity sat up there all high and mighty that her sister could hear her and would coming running to her rescue, she knew it was a futile dream. She just barely heard the click of the door leading to her dorm opening and tried to sit up to investigate but couldn't. Small tears were starting to stream down the sides of her face. This couldn't be happening to her, it couldn't be. How could she lose her only good friend? While she couldn't manage much but the sound of muffled sobs, she forced herself to send a single thought to whomever had entered the dorm. ”Help...”

Cassie had already left the dorm for the day heading for the weak sunlight of the day, she loved being outside it was where she had spent the last 4 years of her life so she tried to escape the dorms as often as possible. Though Bella was one of her dorm mates and she was awesome to hang out with Cassie still preferred to be outside the buildings.

As she walked heading for the outside she noticed movement beside her. Looking down she noticed a ferret scurrying along the edge of the hallway. Frown crossed her face slightly; maybe someone had lost their pet? She had just helped hunt down a pet rat the other day it wasn’t a huge leap to think someone might own a ferret.

“Hey little guy where do you think your going” She spoke softly moving slowly closer to the ferret on the floor. Cassie knew she could very well fail miserably at trying to catch the ferret she had no meat to tempt it with unless you counted her own fingers which she wasn’t so sure she was ready to sacrifice to the ferret. She could see him looking around for an escape as she closed in and took a slow breath she positioned herself as close as she could, her jacket sleeves pulled over her hands before making a quick movement to grab the little critter.

For a second she thought he was going to be quick enough to escape her grasp, but who knows maybe he wanted to be caught because surprisingly she stood up ferret in hand. She bundled him close to her person, getting a secure grip on him and wrapping him in her jacket clad arms. “Now what” she muttered to herself and somewhat to the ferret as far as she knew there wasn’t a lost and found for pets on campus.

“I guess you will just have to come back with me and we will make posters or something” she spoke to the creature as she headed back toward her dorm, in total opposite of what she had planned for the day but sometimes life was like that and you just had to roll with it. Standing before the door to the dorm she shifted the ferret again making sure she had a secure grip before taking one hand off him and opening the door.

Stepping in she looked around trying to see if there was anything in the common room she could secure the little guy in. With no luck she walked over to one of the doors to the individual rooms Cassie knew Bella wasn’t in but she thought she remembered hearing one of the other girls who she hadn’t properly met yet moving around earlier, from what she could tell the girl was just incredibly shy.

“Hey sorry to disturb you but do you think you could give me a hand for a moment” I called through the door as I stood there with the ferret who was really starting to squirm.
