Fleur was exhausted. Her quickest motions were nearly at a snail’s pace and yet each one brought on more nausea, waves crashing against her as she bobbed around in the grass, possibly one hit from going under. The blow she took to the back of the head didn’t make things easier, and with the weight of it she fell forward at Love’s feet.
Spluttering, she placed both hands on either side of her mask, desperately yanking at the plastic. The dent on the forehead cracked as she pressed at it, and almost as quickly as it had occurred, Fleur dug her fingers into the opening and pulled. A rush of cool air hit her eyebrow as she pried the plastic away, the chunk splintering just under her cheekbone and falling to the ground.
She raised her head to look at Love in all his manufactured glory, any curiosity or pity she’d once felt for him melting away into irritation. Poor little career, so high and mighty talking about monsters and men. Her hands trembled as she rose back to her feet, making sure to maintain eye contact. Her eyes were probably bloodshot, red streaking through white like lightning, eyebrows knitted in concentration.
”Do me a favor, Two,” she said carefully, reaching for the purple scarf that held her ponytail in place. Her hair fell onto her shoulders as she leaned forward and draped the scarf around Love’s neck. ”You don’t care about what I care about and frankly, I don’t care about you either. But listen to me. You’re not dead yet. So whatever you were saying about dying earlier is bullshit. And it would be real fucking embarrassing if a career killed me and then threw in the towel.”
Fleur wobbled as she took hold of her machete again. She’d always hated getting this close.
”So at least listen to that. And take my friend’s scarf.”
