Oh god. Oh god, no. Not yet! She can already hear the hissing and the yelling and see the teeth and feel the claws as something approaches. She doesn't want to look. Maybe if she doesn't look, Inari can't get her. Pre-school rules. If I can't see you, you can't see me. She curls in on herself more, pulling the hood down over her eyes and hiding her face against her knees and under her arms as much as she can, but it hurts to move. Everything hurts. Especially her leg.

She's not crying now because she wouldn't give that bitch the satisfaction, but she really wants to. Because she knows what's coming. The cave flickers in and out view, becoming more shadowy each time. Kenzi doesn't dare look up. No chance in hell. But she does speak.

"Just kill me and get it over with! They're gonna find out. You can't keep this up forever!" Or maybe she can. They haven't noticed yet. No one's come to save her and she's alone and her friends don't even know because they don't care. None of them had time for her! None of them would listen! If they'd just given her five seconds of their precious freakin' fae time, this probably wouldn't have happened! She'd be home. With Bo. Ignored, but not alone.

... Okay, now she's crying a little, but shut up!
