Hold up there, Moses

Her words were hardly enough to stifle the blow she knew was coming, she never would have imagined Bass's reaction though. First the girl would only shrink back a little, as his voice would rise. Bass would reel away from her like she'd thrown a venomous serpent at him. Her brother would explode, and Rhythm found herself cowering in the grass before him, fully subject to his rage. He'd cut her heart in two as he banned her from Abaven and her nieces and nephews, the whole reason for her existence would be blocked to her. The world would start spinning as he continued to lash out at her. Tears would well up into her eyes as he made known every wrong she was doing. "You could have stopped the fight" She had not known this was the offer that would be given to her, did he not see that? "Brother, no." She shook her head, she would have never been able to stop that fight, that black brute had been out for blood. She had no doubt Hati would have attacked her instead of Bass. "she is yours now" If she could have sunk any lower she would have tried. She wanted to beg Bass to take it back, to tell her he was only joking and he would enjoy having her take him home. She'd go slip back into Motif's warm den and find the rest she so desperately needed.

That wasn't what happened. Bass would banish her and give her to Valentine. Bright blue and purple eyes would watch Bass as he turned, and as the tall alpha said nothing Rhythm would find herself running after him. "Bass, no please!" Her foot would get caught on a root which would send her into the mud after Bass's passing. She'd sink into the earth, "please." her voice was soft, surely saying nothing to turn her vengeful brother around.
