[ooc: tw for body horror/decapitation. set after this. open to fourth walls given this happens the same night as the throne-room party.]

[Peter has no idea how to do this. He's still shaking, hunched in a corner, having tried to contact Bonnie only to get no response, because she's probably just passed out. It's late. He figures no matter what people want to know about this. They deserve to know. He would want to know if someone he cared about here died (ha).

He has seen dead people before. He held his Uncle Ben in his hands while he died. He was there when Captain Stacy took his final breaths, but there is something else- There is something different about stumbling on someone's head detached from their body on the floor after the action is all done in the silence when he only expects to stumble on nothing. It's different to then realize he recognizes who they are, and now he's hunched over his network device, stuck to a corner of his own room.]

If you know Faith, I found her. She died. I'm sorry. Her

She's Her body and head

She's

Her body is in my room right now. I don't know what happened. I mean she was murdered but I don't know how or who. I just found her. Also I didn't clean stuff up down there but there's blood and stuff. [stuff being his own vomit. he still feels sick.]

[ wait what just happened? ]

What? Peter--

[ suddenly she prefers the fire. bonnie wants the echo of his anger in this too-small room back. the sting of his logic against her fear. she wants him to keep pushing, like he always does.

this? this is scary. it's the first time she feels the wet warmth of tears crowd along her waterline. ]

Please...

[peter stares into the sink. the writing is still there on the mirror. his stomach twists in a horrible way in response. it's been a long night of no sleep and no food, and he doesn't know if that's influencing his responses now. he just knows he needs- blood on his hands, on his shirt.]

I need to clean up.

[he turns away from her, something shudders over his whole body. his shoulders are tense once it passes]

I don't know what you want me to say. I get it. Couldn't let her know. Damon compelled me. I just need to clean up.

[ it's the shock that makes bonnie too scared to push again. he never speaks like that, at least he's never sounded like this to bonnie.

he's not even stuttering. ]

OK.

[ she turns, and it's a fight to make every step reach outside the door, to close it with an anticlimactic click. it's so robotic in contrast to the way her thoughts are screaming at her to run back. to explain. why is she leaving? why did this happen?

why did she push against wonderland so hard?

why didn't she just tell him?

why did elena go?

why?

she doesn't go to her room. she doesn't even stop until she hits the edge of the forest. ]
