Iset
goddamn right
you should be scared of me
She sees an opportunity in the boy in front of her. An opportunity to escape Hyaline and the trouble she had caused. An opportunity for her brothers to be free of the burden that is Iset. His smile was infectious, or it would be if she hadn’t just resigned herself to leave the only family she had ever known. She winces lightly when he calls her a queen, knowing she is less than deserving of the title and wondering if she ever was. you should be scared of me
“The mountains are my favorite. We can go there first,” she blurted, her voice still hoarse from screaming (and maybe a bit from crying too, but no one had to know that). They would go to the mountains she would show him around for five minutes or so, and then he would be her one way ticket out of Hyaline.
With a sharp pull of her head, she stumbles away, wincing at the pressure her steps put on her raw and bruised legs. “Lets go Rusty. Its a rough walk,” she gives him a once over, “especially for those who don’t know the terrain.” The sun began to scale its way down the cloudless sky, and Iset craved the anonymity the darkness would soon bring her. She stumbled more than she normally did when scaling the sides of the craggy peaks; the water that had ensnared her legs had caused her much more damage than she had previously thought feasible.
She checked behind her once or twice to make sure Fox hadn’t fallen off into a ravine at some point during their hike, but otherwise ignored his presence. He was needed as a guide, a ticket out. She found a ledge that she knew could hold her weight and stopped there abruptly, the view of the place she destroyed, the place she once called home, taking her breath away. She stood there, frozen, enraptured by the damage she had done.
