The rain sounded like stones, colliding with the tents exterior. Unlike the calming sound of rain pitter-pattering against the window, the sound was unrelenting and loud, each thump was like a nail pounding against her skull. The tent that they were squeezed into was a tight fit for the two of them. It didn't matter that Robin was small, his body barely anything more than skin, bone and muscles from a lifetime of malnutrition, she could feel his body heat radiating against her skin.
A sigh on her lips she rolls over, her back towards him, as she tried to zone out the sound of the rain and focus on the sound of Robins breathes. She fucking hated the rain. She hated being wet and cold and right now her uniform was saturated, her boots soaked she had shoved them down by the tents opening, though she doubted that they'd dry by the morning.
Her stomach growls and she pulls out the trail mix she had taken from Bubby's dead body. Chewing of the various nuts and seeds only gave her a temporary relief from the torrential rain that was hammering down around them.
The high from her earlier kill had warn off the moment she had seen Bellamy's body. Bliss replaced by a rage that still simmered with intensity in the pit of her stomach. The bloodlust that had consumed her in that moment was like nothing she had felt before, her desire to kill becoming more than a want, becoming a need. She needed to take away the life of the one who had taken away his from her. The possessiveness she felt towards the boy from home was some sort of twisted attraction that even Mauve herself was struggling to understand.
And she wasn't sure that she would understand, or if she wanted to understand.
All she knew was that she wanted to be the one who killed the one who had broke him.
Rolling over once again she eyes study the boy beside her, one arm tucked under her head, the other wrapped around herself in an attempt to keep her body warmth trapped and to keep her warm.
"How are you feeling?" She asks, genuinely curious about how he was feeling about Bubby and aiding in his murder. She remembers the first time she took a life, she remembers exactly how she felt. But she was having trouble reading Robin. She had expected him to crumble at Bubby's death. She had even expected some tears, but from what she had seen, he seemed, well, okay. Maybe she had simply missed his meltdown when she had wondered off, leaving him with the responsibility of assembling the tent. Or maybe he was handling the situation with an ease that would impress her.
