What Is Going On?

Fuck this. Fuck everything.

Lillianna called her on her bullshit and Sparrow wasn't sure how to react for a while. Why was she acting so confused? Was this how she was when she was around Lark and everyone else? Did she think she could act confused and just get away with it?

Lillianna sat suddenly and a snarl ripped through Sparrow's chest without her meaning to.

Lillianna asked if she normally froze and ran. "I spook easily and I'm small. I have every reason to act like this," Sparrow hissed. Though now that Lillianna was sitting, Sparrow relaxed a little.

Lillianna continued to blabber like she normally did and Sparrow did her best to not just blow up on her right then. If Lillianna knew Sparrow knew all of her secrets, she would be dead for sure.

Sparrow went through all kinds of excuses in her head to explain herself, but then Lillianna threatened to ask someone else. So she really did think she could go to her family and get whatever she wanted? Maybe her dad or Harmony would tell Lillianna. Lark and everyone else was still oblivious to Sparrow's discoveries. The thought that Lillianna was trying to blackmail her into talking was just enough. Sparrow scoffed at first, her snarl curling upwards as she began to laugh for a moment.

As if somehow, by mentioning going to other people, Lillianna had confirmed everything Sparrow had thought about her. She was right, wasn't she? This whole time and Lillianna truly believed she could get and get away with whatever she wanted in this pack. It was almost too much.

Sparrow laughed a little louder, then her eyes met Lillianna's directly. Maybe she would die, but she was right. As long as she lived, she wouldn't tell Lillianna what she knew until she was good and ready. Lillianna could ask whoever else she wanted, Sparrow wasn't scared.

"Fucking provalo," she spat, half of her smile falling while the other half remained. Her eyes glittered. Maybe it was the adrenaline talking, but Sparrow was ready for anything.
