does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all

Avantika's life felt like it had slowed to a near crawl. Stuff was still happening in the pack, but she was still plodding along the same routines she always did. She was doing her best. But it felt like if she didn't do something more, something she didn't even know what yet, that she'd always stay the same old foundling girl she'd always been. She was almost two! Almost an adult and she still didn't have a clue what she would do for the rest of her life. She'd expected to feel different. Stronger, or smarter, or more confident, or something. But she was still just Avantika. And how could 'just Avantika' prove her worth to her pack? The core thought spurring all those worries came to her one night, a stab in the back from her own brain: If she hadn't changed... Maybe--maybe she was still the same girl her parents had found so useless that they threw her away like trash when she was just a kid. The Hallows would never do that. They were kind and good, and they had saved her. And that didn't make her feel any better because that was why she had to be so beneficial to them. They deserved to have every last scrap of strength in her body. If she couldn't give them what they deserved, she'd throw herself away herself. No tranquilizing herbs necessary. That was why she was here, at the battlefield, consumed with anxiety and loyalty, waiting for someone to train with. "Speech" |
