Fourth floor Common room, Tuesday night, and all through the night into Wednesday morning

Ami continued sitting under a blanket in the common room. She found a marathon of shows on Ancient Vikings, which she was only vaguely watching. Mostly she was trying to make sure there was noise, light and lack of sleep. She was afraid to be alone, afraid to be in the dark and afraid to close her eyes.

After ~~handwavily~~ walking back to the dorms with Conner, Tori had decided that she didn't want to be alone, but hadn't wanted to burden Conner anymore, though she knew he'd argue she wasn't a burden.

Armed with a pillow and blanket, Tori made her way up one floor to the common room, happy to see that the television was on and the room was occupied.

Ami visibly jumped when she heard someone walking in. Seeing it was Tori she relaxed. "Hi. Sorry, i am a little jumpy."

As Tori's banged up state registered and Ami looked horrified. "You too?" she indicated the bandages.

"Ami, hi." Tori took in her state, as well. "Yeah, are you all right?" She was tired and sore, but no permanent damage had been done that Dr. Troy could detect. "I heard that you were in the clinic, along with Billy and Lana." Tori could sense the tears of anger and frustration were on the way.

"Oh no, Lana too?" Ami was not very informed. she moved over making room on the couch. "Do you have any idea what happened? I can't remember anything except scalpels..." she shuddered as the image flashed in her mind again. She had tears in her eyes. "I am just so afraid."

Tori nodded, smiling ruefully. "Unfortunately, Lana too." She took a seat on the couch, next to Ami. "Thanks. I honestly have no idea..." Tori frowned. "When I was in the clinic, images of scalpels and a dark room flashed through my head... nothing else." She wished she could remember more.

"I want to know who did this, but at the same time I'm afraid." Tori admitted, barely speaking above a whisper.

ami looked at her, startled. "I see the scalpels too, coming for me. I am pretty sure i know why too..." She moved her shirt slightly, to show Tory the large number of perfectly straight scars on her stomach.

Tori's eyes widened when she saw what had happened to Ami. Her eyes filled with tears, out of frustration and regret. "Ami, I'm sorry." She didn't know what else to say. She only had pricks on her arms and shoulder, nothing that would leave permanent scars.

Ami shrugged. "I have no idea what it means. Dr. Troy said nothing was missing." She was either taking it really well, or just hadn't gotten to the freaking out stage yet. "Billy has holes in his head. Who would do this? And why?"

Tori nodded, visibly relieved. "I'm glad to hear that. Though I have no idea, why this is happening."

She felt so helpless, it wasn't a normal feeling either. She had saved people, why couldn't she figure this out?

"Billy... holes in his head?" Tori couldn't stand it. Her friends were being hurt and she couldn't do anything, nevermind that she had also been attacked. "I don't know Ami. But they're really sick to have done this." She remembered what Annette had said and thought to tell Ami. "Annette visited me at the clinic earlier and said, she had seen what had happened... she said I disappeared in a bright light... I don't remember."

"A bright light? Like... like being transported on Galaxy Quest?" Too bad Ami has never seen anyone Orbing. Or watched any of the alien abduction movies.

"So... someone, or someones, through a technology we do not know took a number of students somewhere to do something to them." Ami tried to be logical. "there are too many unknowns."

Tori nodded. "Something like that, yeah." It was unfortunate that Annette hadn't shared her theory with Tori, about aliens, because it would've made sense.

"They'll be figured out, eventually." Tori tried to smile, but failed. Something was nagging at the back of her mind. And she couldn't figure out what that was, it was very bothersome.

"I just wish i could remember what happened. But instead i jump at every noise and light flash." She sighed, and pulled the blanket tighter around her.

"As do I." Tori admitted, with a rueful smile. "When I figure out who did this, they're going to wish they never messed with me." She spoke evenly, though she was fuming.

"Can i help?" Ami had no idea what she could do, but she wanted to make whoever did this to her and her friends pay.

"Oh, definitely." Tori nodded, smiling reassuringly. She wasn't sure what would be done, but it would be something.

"Good." Ami nodded. "We will need to remember first. I wonder if hypnosis would work?"

"It's definitely worth a shot." Tori smiled. She was really up for anything.

"Maybe we should try that. Not that i know how."

Tori frowned. "I can't think of anyone who would know how to do that, either." Damn.

"Well, there goes that idea. ~~until Annette suggests the clinic later~~. Not sure what else might help with memory."

Ami thought for a moment. "Different people had this happen on different days, right?"

"I honestly don't know what else to suggest." Tori admitted, with a sigh. "But, maybe something will come up."

She nodded. "Yes, I'm almost positive that's right."

"Alright. I think i was missing all of Monday. So was Billy. What about you and Lana?"

"I was taken Monday night... and missing most of Tuesday." Tori explained. "I'm not so sure about Lana. I think she was found on Tuesday as well, according to Conner."

"So... what is the difference between me and Billy and you and Lana? Or maybe what are the similarities between Billy and me and between you and Lana?" Ami was grasping at straws, but better then nothing.

Tori shook her head. "I don't know. For Lana and I? Well, we're both on the cheerleading team. She's from Kansas and I'm from California." She pondered the questions. "You and Billy are together... but I don't know if that would apply here."
