Jzork
There is no such thing as too many monsters.
Annabelle lowered the icy orb, taking a moment to look at the blooming buttercup, and then at Veidimadur, who was softly grinning.
Don't let your guard down.
Don't let your guard down.
Don't let your... your...
Annabelle couldn't hold out. Finally breaking, tears formed in her eyes as her face contorted into a confused and sad wreck. Her free hand clasped over her face, and she fell onto her back, the snow molding around her as she plopped into the ice. She couldn't hold her facade at all. So much for the "intense" training.
Why? Why were these powerful figures so kind to her?! There was no doubt that this huntsman in the snow was a god... but why were so many of them so... kind?! She was so confused. This was the enemy, and she couldn't hold up against a measly yellow buttercup.
She was dead now if Veidimadur decided to so much as step on her. She was probably dead if she stayed there in the frozen cold. She was dead if Jay saw her conversing with the enemy. Dead, dead, dead. She didn't know what to do or who to be at that moment.
She figured that for just this once, she'd be her scared, timid, self.
"A-Annabelle. The n-name's Annabelle." She whimpered beneath the heavy cloak. "And... yeah, I guess being in a fire would be nice too. My fire's just not here right now." The way she worded it probably sounded strange to Veidimadur, but to someone who had lived the past few months in a moving stove, it made enough sense and comfort to stop the flow of frozen tears.
She could hear Lucifer's cackles from afar, no doubt laughing at the icy orb she held in her hands. Annabelle looked at it with disappointment, wishing she could just... make it work. She was probably dead without NAMELESS here too. All it would take is for Lucifer to just summon some random weapon and slice her to mincemeat. She sighed, puffs of hot air forming and then blowing away almost instantly.
"I accept your t-t-truce... B-But I s-s-still can't have y-your help." She puffed,pushing back the buttercup a bit. "I-If I'm supposed to be strong... th-then I must l-l-learn to be... in... in..."
There was a slight shaking sensation beneath her, as though her body willed her to not say it. To not say the word she wanted it to say. It grew stronger, but she had to be the strongest.
"Independent!!!" She shouted into the cold, not wanting to disappoint her mentor, not wanting to disappoint NAMELESS. She nearly threw the icy orb into the air with all the force she put into her words.
The sad feeling ebbed away.
The shaking beneath her... did not.
