A dusty yard with a few park benches in it, and twenty foot walls barricading around the whole building. And there's barbed wire on top of those walls, too.

:: Azura hovers in the doorway to the dusty yard. It's cold outside and still pretty dark, but she doesn't want to stay inside the strange building where Andrea is running around somewhere. After some more consideration she walks slowly over to one of the benches and sits on it, her arms wrapped around herself to try and keep her warm. Her attention is immediately drawn to the twenty foot walls with barbed wire, she can just make out the outline of the top of them.::

(Where are we?)

:: Lirie steps out of the building, scanning the presented premises. Noticing a figure sitting at one of the benches, she makes her way there, taking a seat beside her. She folds her hands together, not saying a thing, and proceeds staring at the wall for a long time before speaking. ::

"I don't think they want us to leave..."

::Andrea staggers outside like Andrea when she's drunk, and takes it all in.::

(Oh shitz.)

:: Azura sighs heavily, her perfect bliss being ruined by the two rude people who just appeared. She edges away from Lirie, moving to the other side of the bench.::

"Thank you for stating the obvious."

:: She gets to her feet and walks to the far side of the yard, getting away from Lirie and particulary Andrea.::

::Seeing Azura's moved, Andrea hurries to catch up with her.::

"Hey, Az, can I talk to you please?"

::Being polite and everything, is our Ands.::

:: Azura clasps her hands in front of her and doesn't look at Andrea.::

"No."

"Please? Come on, I'm sorry I kicked you and I was annoying. They injected me with something and it made me really drowsy and, well, stupid. But I feel better now and I just wanted to apologise for annoying you."

::She slows to a walk with Azura, going around the ground of the building.::

:: Azura continues to stare ahead of her.::

"You need to do more apologising than that Andrea. Not that it will do you any good."

"Wh..."

::Andrea frowns, struggling to keep up while only walking.::

"How? Why are you so angry with me? What did I do?"

:: Oh Azura and her long strides. Poor short Andrea.::

"You know fine well what. No one acts they way you do normally, you do it because you know that people will sympathise heavily with you. I should know, it is how you lured me in."

:: Wow. Az sounds as if she should be in an asylum.::

"Wh- lured you? Azura? You're not making any sense! Stop walking so fast! It's dark..."

"Oh stop whining! That is all you ever do and I have listened to it placidly every single day since the day I met you and now I am sick of it. I am tired all all the things which happen to me because of you. I would have been perefectly fine if I had never met you and now I see you for what you really are."

::Andrea stops short, her legs refusing to take her any further. Azura's words really lash into her. She doesn't really know what to say.::

"..."

:: Azura stops and turns to face Andrea. She stares down at her, her expression anything but friendly.::

"Do not act so shocked. It is about time that someone told you the truth. I have been wanting to say this for a long time. I considered staying quiet, but no, you should know, then you will stop being so dillusional. I. Hate. You. You are a pathetic waste of space."

::Josie comes outside.::

"And-"

::She drops her jaw when she sees the mega tall walls with the wire. Evetually she snaps out of it.::

"Andrea! I thought I'd share my cookie with you."

::Andrea doesn't hear Josie. She's too busy having a dropped jaw and slowly paling. And yet she can't say anything. She's just completely in shock. And agony. Did I mention the agony? There's agony.::

"Finally. I have managed to get you to stop talking. It is about time."

:: Azura ignores Josie, turns on her heel and continues her little walk around the yard as if nothing out of the ordinary just happened.::

::Andrea just stares at Azura, still dumbfounded. After almost a minute, she finds her feet and runs after her.::

"Az... what're you trying to say?"

::Josie shrugs and sits on the bench munching on an apple.::

:: Azura stares at Andrea in disbelief.::

"Generally when one is told that they are a hateful being, one does not chase after the person who said it."

:: She stops and looks down at Andrea.::

"You are not my friend. I do not consider you my friend. Now. Leave me alone!"

"Wh... no! Azura, what the fuck are you talking about? Are you fucking drunk? I'm your best fucking friend and you need to stop fucking pissing around with me right now!"

"Andrea, I am not messing with you in any sort of way. I am telling you the cold hard truth. Accept it and go and find some other poor unsuspecting person to thrust your childish ways upon!"

:: As if to emphasise her point she gives Andrea a light shove.::

::Andrea takes a few steps back to catch her balance, just not believing what is happening.::

"What happened to you?"

"I finally came to my senses."

::Andrea's breath catches in her throat, and she steps away again.::

"No... this isn't you. Something's happened to you. You've changed."

::Her mind flicks over something Lily said to her. Something she dismissed almost immediately.::

"It was Cora, wasn't it? It was that fucking bitch vampire. She did something to you. Didn't she!?"

"She merely pointed out a few things to me. I had known them all along and was simply in denial."

:: Azura takes a step towards Andrea. Step. Step. Step. Until she is right in front of her.::

"This is me talking. This is what I think. And you have to be the most sorry sight I have ever come across."

::Andrea looks down at Azura's feet for a second, just not understanding it.::

"That bitch..."

::Tears begin to threaten her eyes.::

"That fucking bitch. It's not you."

::She looks up and stares into Azura's eyes.::

"It's not you and I fucking know it isn't!"

"Andrea, you need to stop all of this denial. It is only making you look worse and even more pathetic. If that is actually possible. I am saying this because I want to, not because I was made to."

"Fuck you, Az! You don't even know what you're talking about!"

::And now Andrea shoves Azura back, because she can't think of anything else to do.::

:: Azura stumbles back a couple of steps before she regains her balance.::

"I know fine well what I am talking about!"

:: She shoves Andrea back harder.::

::Andrea catches herself quickly. Skillz acquired from childhood living with her sisters get you used to this sort of sparring quickly. She stands about a metre from Azura and glares at her.::

"You do not. You've been brainwashed by that vampire. Lily was right, and you've been lying all along!"

"Obviously I had to lie. I had to wait until the right moment to tell you. Or, as it happened, when I could not stand being nice to you an longer. It takes a lot of energy to fake pleasentries with someone like you."

"Oh that's nice. Really nice. What the fuck did she tell you about me? That I stay up at night trying to devise little ways to make your life more miserable? For the love of God, Azura, I thought you were more intelligent than that!"

"And obviously you are more intelligent than I first thought. It is the only way you have been able to decieve everyone for so long. Accept reality and leave me alone before you regret it."

"Oh, you're threatening me now? You?"

::Andrea tries not to laugh.::

"You're about as scary as a... mangy cat! Don't even try to intimidate me with your shit, Az. I know you better than that, and you can't scare me, so go ahead and try!"

:: Well that just pisses Azura off royaly. Hearing someone like Andrea put her down in such a way.::

"You obviously do not know me terribly well."

:: She lunges for Andrea, much like she did in Cora's lair minus the pointy stick, and tries to throttle her.::

::Andrea's eyes widen as she stumbles back and lands hard on the ground with Azura on top of her, clutching at her neck and trying to tear the psychic's hands from them. Panic time!::

:: Azura only squeezes harder. As hard as she can in fact. She is channeling all of her pent up Andrea rage into what she is doing. Death to Ands!::

"I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!"

::Gargling in a most attractive manner, Andrea knees Azura in the stomach as hard as she can.::
