fire in the playhouse | [teddy bear v asari and co]

This place is sort of amazing. It kind of reminds her of home, but at the same time, it sends her into a world written from a book. It's something from a horror scene, and yet it's drawing her in with each and every second. Where her feet carry her, she doesn't know, but she's going closer and closer to a building. It can provide shelter through the night. It's even a place to hide, but maybe it isn't the best.

Despite her better judgement, she opens the door into a new world wondering what it will bring.

Going through a door into a building sends icy chills down her spine. It's just an old house in the middle of this old town. It's dark and eerily quiet, but it doesn't stop her from going even further into the building. Every floorboard creaks beneath the weight of her fragile body forcing her to pause time and time again to look around hoping that nobody is following her.

That's when she sees it, and for a moment, her entire face lights up with joy. It's a toy box. She had one growing up, and all her favorite toys were stuffed away inside. It's just a meaningless box now, but every childhood memory swims to the front of her mind, and without a second thought she's running towards it hoping it reminds her of home.

Lifting the lid, Asari looks inside at all the stuffed animals. Reaching in, she's digging through.

Her eyes land on this cute, fluffy teddy bear. A fluttering heart leaps into the back of her throat - she'll never forget the stuffed bear her family got her for her birthday one year. It must've cost a fortune, yet they all chipped in to bring it home.

Lifting it up, she tries bringing it to her chest, but a bloodcurdling scream erupts past her lips. Tears instantly spring from her eyes, flowing rapidly down her cheeks.

This is such a sick joke. Why would anyone place something like this in a box for someone to find?

A lifeless thumb lays on the ground, blood gushes from the wound -

Harbinger lost a leg and went on to win. This is just a thumb. The simple truth echoes through her mind over and over as she backs away swinging her arm trying to get the stupid bear loose.

Cute cuddly teddy bears aren't supposed to be mean, but this one is the root of all evil.

Once it's loose, she's backing away and lunges with the pitchfork. A river of crimson flows down her arm as the tears grow even stronger. If anyone is here, they would've heard her scream, and Asari doesn't have it in her to fight something so cute while fighting a human, but maybe someone can rescue her.
