Get Down with the Sickness

The mockery... oh how it stung. Her size. It always came to her size. Even when she wanted to be brave, to fight, to be strong like she viewed her siblings... others would always attack her for her size. Her ears would lower a bit at Loki's insult. It was one of the only things about the girl she could find fault at herself with. They would lower further at Weth's words, hurt stinging at her. Memories, memories of the ones that had stolen her innocence away would come to her mind. Runt. Did Weth have any idea how much that word wounded her? How much it hurt to be so small, to not grow, despite forcing herself to eat and train hard? Then Thor would add his imput. Did they all think of her as a weak nothing? The youngest of the family would lower her gaze, her anger replaced by hurt. A deep hurt. Sure she didn't say it to any of them, well, other than Hati in her praising words when she mentioned his name or the way she always wanted to be by his side... but she cherished all of them deeply. Looked up to them. They were her big siblings... her idols... The female would take a step back into the ash. Even Hati's words would cause a sting. You're not strong enough to stand up for yourself so others have to do it for you... you're nothing but a weak, worthless runt! Akemi would feel herself shudder, though only slightly. It was enough though to make her realize, once more, how frustrated she was with herself... and... feeling like nothing more than a disappointment in her family's eyes. Then Baldur's words would reach her... the last stone to her heart. All she ever wanted was to be like them... like all of them... but... she wouldn't say a word as she turned. She wouldn't let them see the tears that were springing to her eyes. Without looking back Akemi would run, unsure if she ever wanted to cross paths with any of them again. Speech |
