	Characters: Frankie and Gray Setting: Night, before curfew, outside Content: Swearing, probably in French Summary: Frankie has a hard time not knowing what is going on. Apart from being a dreadful occurance, the student disapperances also had other disadvantages. For instance, Frankie no longer felt safe smoking in the woods. Or anywhere, really. She hadn't been getting the same amount of sweet nicotine that she usually relied on to function properly, and was finally doing something about it. The notice of students disappearing had really put her on edge, as if she wasn't highly strung in the first place. I mean, that was big news, and no one seemed too bothered. And now this business with Janice and her annoying habit of not explaining things wasn't helping. Shoving her cigarettes in her pocket she stalked out of her dorm and outside. She walked at a brisk, frustrated pace before she decided where to go, finding herself near LaLaurie house and slinking round the side. It was dark and only the tip of her cigarette was visible. Taking a drag she supressed a little noise of pleasure, stooped down on the floor and rubbed her temple. Tags: !complete, francios prideaux, gregoire leclair

Unlike Frankie, Gray was oblivious most of the time. Too self-centered to usually be bothered with what was going around on the campus. He usually only paid attention to drama, and usually only then if he was around--and if he could partake in it.

So when he spotted a vaguely familiar silhouette in the low lighting while on his way to the woods behind Lalaurie house, he was more confused than anything.

He paused, mid-step, a wild smirk snapping across his mouth.

"Evening." He raised he eyebrows at her.

"Evening" she mimicked back, smiling a little though he probably couldn't see.

"You weren't going into the woods were you?" Her voice took on an accousatory tone as she looked up at him.

"I... Yes?" Gray's eyebrows stayed raised. He was never really good at feigning innocence when accused. Even when he wasn't doing anything wrong. No worse than Frankie was doing, anyway.

"Don't worry, France. I'm not meeting any girls. I know you get jealous."

"You stupid ass!" She whispered, giving him a little shove. "Haven't you heard about those students? The missing ones?" She took a frantic drag of her cigarette, half for dramatic effect.

"They went missing...in the woods" she revealed.

Gray did his best to hold in his laughter, taking a step back to regain his balance.

"Ohhh. No. I..." He paused as if he were really trying to think hard on it. "No, doesn't ring a bell. Where do you get this stuff, France?"

Frankie made a motion as if she was going to shove Gray again, but slapped a hand to her forehead instead.

"Gray! It was an offical school notice! How did you not see it?!" She huffed and kicked at the ground. "I'm telling you, something weird is going on. And not like that time I said the school nurse was testing on animals, this is a real thing!"

"I don't know, I just--" He started defensively, speaking quickly for the first half and then really slowly as he tried to think of a better reply than-- "...Don't ...really ...care?" It didn't really seem to happen.

Gray shrugged and stood next to her, leaning on the wall and lighting up a cigarette as he did so. Frankie was smart, so maybe she had already figured the shadow of the building would hide them from any authority figures that would bust them for smoking on campus.

"Okay. So. What happened?"

It was an answer that Frankie already knew as she shook her head. "I don't know what happened" she moaned. "Only that students went missing in the woods. Oh, and that bimbo sophomore knows something but she's too much of an idiot to do anything about it" she spat, crossing her arms angrily.

"Bimbo sophomore?" Of course Gray perked up at the phrase, 'Bimbo sophomore'. "Yeah, which one?"

"I don't know" Frankie sniffed, although she did. "The one with the hair" she added, holding her hands out from her head in description of Janis's curly hair. "The annoying one."

"Uh..." Gray was notorious for not remembering names, and this case was no different.

"Alicia, maybe?"

	From: petitechou	Date: December 8th, 2010 06:41 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Maybe" Frankie said dryly. "Do you even remember my name?"

But they were getting off the point. "Doesn't that freak you out? Students missing? Do you know enough defensive magic to ward off a kidnapper?"

"Funny." Gray stuck his tongue out at her, with a wrinkle of his nose. But he couldn't pretend to be offended for long... because he wasn't.

"I guess," he shrugged, glancing out over toward the woods. "But we don't know anything, right? Who says they were kidnapped?"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: petitechou	Date: December 8th, 2010 06:56 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Frankie stuck her tongue out back and followed his gaze to the woods. They looked a lot more threatening now than they did a couple of months ago.

"Exactly! Why don't we know anything? Do you think I should ask Principle Pendragon? Especially now Janis" she paused and glanced at Gray, "that sophomore has told the whole school to call the cops! Though she's probably just broken a nail or something."

"Ugh, the cops? I guess you could talk to be Principle but..." Gray sighed sharply in irritation, flicking ash from his cigarette and waving smoke away from his face with his free hand.

"Get ready for this place to become Auschwitz, then. And you might as well give up smoking now." With that he blew smoke at her. "What did she even say to you?"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: petitechou	Date: December 8th, 2010 07:35 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Frankie coughed pointedly, even if the smoke wasn't irritating and flicked her own ash in his direction. "It's hard enough to have one now anyway. Promise you wont go into the woods alone? And 'alone' still counts if you go in there with some poor girl." She smiled but it faded quickly. "She wouldn't cough up anything. Either she's lying or she's really scared, but I guess something happened to her."

"Was this online or something?" Gray smirked mischievously and pulled out his iPhone, leaving his cigarette to rest between his lips as he puffed on it as an old man smoking a pipe would.

He scrolled through the journals and raised his eyebrows, as he found that the first post on his friends page was about 'calling the cops'. Must have been her.

"Guys, I think someone needs to call the cops." He read aloud. "That her?" He clicked on the post before Frankie could answer.

"My phone is dead, I'm never going outside again, this is serious..." He glanced at Frankie shaking his head. "Woah! Here we go."

"See, see!" Frankie scooted over to Gray, leaning on his arm and jabbed at the screen wildly. "Look! Look how she doesn't tell me anything of any use!"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: gregoire	Date: December 8th, 2010 08:17 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Gray nodded sagely, or what he assumed must have been sage-like. "Yeah, but look at what she says here--" He mimicked what he imagined Janis's voice must sound like, even though he already knew her and should therefore know what her voice sounded like.

"There are dead things outside!" He waved his hands and dropped his jaw in mock fear. Grinning at Frankie, he shrugged. "She probably just found some of that weird kid's snacks. I heard he eats roadkill and hangs the skins on his walls!"

He was mostly joking, none of this seemed very serious to him.

	From: petitechou	Date: December 8th, 2010 08:22 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Frankie smirked at Gray's impression, feeling ever so slightly bad. "The weird- Ben does not eat roadkill" she said distractedly. She hadn't read the rest of her journal post, seemed Janis had opened up to other people a little more.

"Wait, scroll down" she instructed, spotting Rowan's username. "If Rowan is taking this serious it means it's serious, right?"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: gregoire	Date: December 8th, 2010 08:35 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"Sure he doesn't," Gray laughed, "those dead eyes of his say otherwise." Though he did scroll down as Frankie had commanded.

"Isn't Rowan always serious?" Gray replied, deadpan.

	From: petitechou	Date: December 8th, 2010 08:43 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Frankie gasped and pointed to a particular comment. "Someone's going to see her! That means something has happened! Mon dieu, what if there are dead bodies in the forest? I bet it was a rapist."

Frankie looked at Gray, her face illuminated triumphantly in the light of his cellphone. "We're like the guys from Scooby Doo."

"Ruby ruby roo?" Gray grinned at her, laughing.

"Look here," His smile half-dropped, but he had more of a look of disbelief than the seriousness that Rowan and "She saw fingers? ...So you think there's some serial rapist hanging out in our woods? Leaving meaty bits of his victims? Really?"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: petitechou	Date: December 8th, 2010 09:10 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I think you're more of a Scrappy Doo" she said laughing.

"Maybe it's an escaped animal. You know, after Katrina and people's pets and the zoo and everything...All the animals were gone. Or maybe it's an alligator."

	From: gregoire	Date: December 8th, 2010 09:39 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"No way!" Gray laughed, "Puppy power is not in my vocabulary. ...Except for right now. Shut up!"

Fun aside, he looked out at the woods. "If it's a wild animal then it's no big deal, right? What kind of wizard gets taken out by a wild animal?"

Aside from the kids who had seemingly... been murdered or eaten or kidnapped or something.

	From: petitechou	Date: December 8th, 2010 09:46 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I hope it's just a wild animal. Having a serial killer running around campus killing off students is going to jepordise our secrecy massively."

Frankie stubbed her cigarette out, chucking it somewhere where it wouldn't be detected. "Poor Janis" she said finally. "Even if she is insufferable, no one should see that."

"Yeah, and we're both screwed because neither of us are virgins." Gray nodded somberly. He watched her put out the cigarette and sighed, trying to rush smoking the last of his own.

"I'll walk you home," He offered. Even though it was only across the commons, he suddenly felt a little uneasy about leaving Frankie by herself this late in the evening.

"Well, you'll be the first to go" Frankie teased. She almost declined his offer, she was a big girl after all, but really it was probably wiser.

"That's very gentlemanly of you, I also expect you to sacrifice yourself if something or someone comes after us, you know."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: gregoire	Date: December 8th, 2010 10:32 pm (UTC)		(Link)

"I guess it's not a serial killer then, huh?" Gray beamed at her, offering his arm like any real gentleman would. Even though he wasn't one.

"Throw myself in the line of fire. Got it."
