Ghost Behind My Eyes

*Hanako* · 08-04-2021, 08:01 PM

The rumbling of his growl met her ears and Hanako felt herself shrink back, her tail flicking between her legs. Mortis had tried on several occasions to teach her how to fight, to at least get down the basics but it was in one ear out the other. She just didn't want to learn, it was as simple as that. And yet now as he stood there looming before her, she knew she only had one choice, to run and not look back. To cast aside his threatening words and flee till her lungs burned, and her paws ached, to find a place where the Fatalis influence could not reach her. Safe and sound, hopefully snuggled up beside Sparrow if Hanako could help it.

Before she could even think to flinch back he swept in and kissed her, forcefully and with passion burning so hot she feared she would catch alight. Again she idly found herself thinking this should be a good thing, better late than never, but she felt the jagged edges pressing in close. Flicking through the pages she knew this fairy tail romance would give her a paper cut, that he'd bleed her dry and yet she did not pull away. Call it annihilation, self-destruction. The silence creates its own violence. She blinked owlishly, and her heart raced, adrenaline pumping.

His words fell on deaf ears, she hadn't heeded his warning before, why did he think she would now? When she was all the more bold, stubborn and determined to get what she wanted. Even if it was to her own detriment, it seemed. That and deep down the thought of just handing herself over on a silver platter felt distasteful, he'd done nothing to earn her back. His earlier sweet words were covered with poison ivy, tangled and overgrown and they left her dissatisfied, wanting for something more, something different.

She needed space and time to think and it was obvious he wasn't going to give it to her without a fight. As if that was even an option.

And so she ran- or at least made an attempt to. She darted to the side, paws kicking up sand onto to slam chest first right into Azure as he stepped aside to block off her exit. Apparently there was more to fleeing than she knew, his experience as a fighter no doubt helped him size up his opponent and predict what angle they would attack from. Either she was unlucky or he knew her far better than she thought possible. Her mind an open book for him to peruse.

The force of the collision had her reeling, the difference in their size and stature knocked the air from her lungs and yet she foolishly tried to regain her footing. She swept her tail out, hoping to regain some sense of balance only to be cut of again with a shoulder check. It was futile really, history insisted on repeating itself just to spite her.
