Snow-17,Second Year-Blood Witch
Interacting with: peachpuff
Snow laughed a bit at the flowers growing on Ivan's antlers... until they bloomed the color of her eyes. Snow hardly ever looked in a mirror at her eyes. She hated the color. The white blonde hair could be passed off as human... her eyes? No way. She remembered what that man had called them...Interacting with: peachpuff
He stalked her in that barn, a leer on his face.
"Magic users like you are the reason why we are all royally fu-****. People like you owe us. You owe us for what your war took!" He slapped her hard, Snow falling to the ground like a sack of bricks. She was only 9... only 9... Looking up she repeated she was only 9. She hadn't caused that war. Hadn't caused it. Hadn't caused it... "I didn't cause it..." She whimpered before she was kicked in the stomach. Coughing, she clawed at the ground and heaved. Her thorns broke through her skin and the man stepped back. "Disgusting."
He grabbed her by the hair, avoiding her thorns as he looked her in the eye with a sneer. "Such a monster. Red eyes are the sign of a demon you know girly." He paused, studying her. "Though I wouldn't call them Red. More like... if a rose were to bleed. And you are a little rose huh with your thorns?"
"I'm not your rose." She hissed, tears streaking through the dirt on her pale cheeks. He laughed and threw her again. "You are whatever I want you to be. You are a demon. A monster. I could kill you now under our great law but you owe us. You owe me everything. And I always take what I am owed." Snow laid in a heap as he made his "little rose" bleed.
Snow looked up from the memory, letting it fall to the back of her mind. Her memory had taken a second in the real world but it had still felt like an eternity to her. Why did she have to remember? "It's nice to meet you too." She whispered, trying not to focus on his antlers. He was just trying to be nice. And she wasn't a monster, she could appreciate that. "Mine is sparring, guess I'm not that original..." She laughed nervously. "I just... well I wanted to figure out how to be kind of useful in a battle. Figure that is the class to do it."
Ivan was very calming. She now wish she had magic over the elements so she could be in a class with him. He would be someone to talk too and maybe even... laugh with. She hadn't really found much joy in anything. A small part of her was desperate for a friend. But Snow was still too afraid to try. "It's a shame we don't have any electives together. I'm in Healing and Defense and then Energy Manipulation. I don't really know anyone in any of my classes so I completely agree with you on not looking forward to them." She scratched at her shoulder, hugging herself a bit as she took in a breath. This was how you made friends right? Oh god it had been so long since she had had to do any of this. "Um... do you um... food?" She finished lamely, slapping her head against the table in her mind repeatedly. Um um um food? God she was such a dumb dumb. "Get food. Do you want to get food?" She muttered, looking at the table as if she found the grain work just fascinating.
