forever alone {asari day 2}

Being alone is hard, and it's even more complicated with blood dripping from her hand. It's only a thumb. Many people have lost so many things throughout their journey in the arena - Harbinger lost a leg, Kass lost an arm, Kirito lost various different parts, and they were able to survive.

Look at the other victors with prosthetic limbs.

It's just a thumb. I'll be okay.

The pain is still there, and it's spreading like a wildfire. Never again will her hands wrap around stuffed animals. Never again will her eyes look at the creatures like they even exist.

This place ruins it all.

A heavy sigh leaves her chest, and she's unsure of where she's going. The buildings seem safe, yet they're all so creepy. Nothing is safe, but she's still running trying to find a place to patch herself up. It's hard being selfish when all she wants is to help people, however, in moments like this the only thing on her mind is keeping herself alive.

A soft rumble echoes through her stomach begging for a bite to eat, and a dry, parched tongue sticks to the roof of her mouth. It's nothing new. This feeling has been around for so long. It's pushed her through the darkness even in the midst of the unknown. It's carried her home so many times.

A crimson hand reaches for the door pushing it open while her other holds the pitchfork at the ready just in case someone's inside. Eyes dart back and forth, and she's looking around trying to make sense of the world she's been thrown in.

One step after another, the floorboards protest with high pitched screeching. Hopefully it'll stop. She wants it to stop. It's loud and annoying, and why would anyone leave garments in the floor don't they know -

"Aaaahhhhh!"

Her thoughts are blocked out as the floor breaks away, and she's flailing about trying to catch herself. The tears start streaming down the side of her face, and whatever is resting inside of her stomach spews from her mouth.

Fortunately, this isn't the first time a nail went through her shoe into her foot, but the pain is just the same.

"Dammit." She mutters under her breath trying to pry the board from her foot.

Gritting her teeth, she frees the nail and is ready to go, but right now all she wants is a friend.

Where is Ubbe when I need him? He doesn't need me.

Being alone is one of the hardest things she's ever done, but maybe she can make the best of it.
