Hi friends! Enjoy chapter 10!
*Peggy pov*
Peggy lifted a hand to smooth her dress and hair, grimacing a little in pain. But as her slightly mangled fingers brushed the yellow fabric, a tear sealed itself.
"Hmm." Peggy tried stroking a city along her arm, and it healed, leaving a faint scar. Joy. She thought a little sarcastically. More scars.
But she quickly healed all her wounds and fixed her dress and hair. If she was going to fight her dark side, then she'd do it looking half-decent, gosh dang it!
Peggy decided she didn't have to wait around for Mariah to hunt her down and slaughter her. So she turned into a golden dove and coasted over the ocean, paying attention only to the voices in her head. They were worried.
Why is she unconscious? One of the voices, masculine and vaguely familiar, asked.
We aren't sure, another replied. Peggy didn't recognize this one. She may be having a mental breakdown. You are sure she's never exhibited any of these traits before?
Not that I know of,Another voice, feminine and as familiar as Peggy's own answered shakily. Besides now and the one she had earlier today that we discussed, I've never seen this behavior.
Peggy struggled to put a name and face to the voice. Who was she? The only recognition she got was a flash of a pink silky material-possibly a skirt or dress-and a snatch of a song-melodic and sad, never satisfied. Unable to discern who she was, Peggy refocused on the voices.
So we don't know what's wrong? Pourquoi est-elle catatonique? The first voice said. Peggy flinched at the French, trying to remember why it seemed so familiar and yet so foreign. The only person she knew who spoke French was…
"Ugh! Why is my brain so fuzzy?!" Peggy muttered angrily. Suddenly, a giant scarlet pteranodon swooped down, knocking Peggy out of the sky. Peggy morphed into human form, flailing as she plummeted several hundred feet. Her head hurt even more due to her collision, and she couldn't remember how to turn into a bird or any other animal. Her yellow skirts flowed around her, barely slowing her fall and, to Peggy's dazed consciousness, gracefully swaying like a dancer's skirt. Both Eliza and Angelica had taken ballet classes when their mom was still alive, but-
Wait.
"ANGELICA!" Peggy screamed almost melodically as she hit the water.
*Lafayette's Pov*
"Why is she unconscious?" Lafayette asked the doctor worriedly. He'd been pacing ever since they'd arrived at the hospital, even when Alex begged him to sit, and when Laurens bribed him with food from the hospital vending machine.
"We aren't sure," The doctor-Dr. James Madison-replied. He was a younger man, stocky and muscular, with dark skin and sharp, intelligent eyes. He reminded Laf a little of Hercules; an older, calmer version of course. "She may be having a mental breakdown. You are sure she's never exhibited any of these traits before?"
"Not that I know of" Angelica answered shakily. Laf felt bad for the oldest Schuyler sister-He'd had his doubts at the restaurant, but now he knew she and Eliza truly did care about Peggy. "Besides now, and the one she had earlier today that we discussed, I've never seen this behavior."
Doctor Madison nodded. A nurse walked in, handed him a paper, and left, but the doctor only glanced at it. At the teenager's frightened looks, he only shook his head.
"So we don't know what's wrong? Pourquoi est-elle catatonique?" Laf asked, accidentally slipping into his native tongue. He started to correct himself, but Peggy flinched, and everyone froze. The doctor hurriedly checked the machines surrounding the sixteen year old.
"Her heart rate is increasing," Madison noted, calm demeanor slipping a little. "It's like…"
"COMME ÇA!?" Laf blurted, as a machine began to beep more and more rapidly.
"Like she's scared."
Everyone was silent. Despite the deafening beeping of Peggy's heart rate monitor, Laf felt as though he could hear a pin drop. Then, suddenly, Peggy began thrashing and flailing wildly.
"What, au nom de toutes choses saintes, is going on!?" Lafayette yelled, blind panic taking over. Doctor Madison tried to speak, but was cut off by Peggy's scream.
"ANGELICA!"
