Lost my mind
There was no scream or even a gasp of surprise as a sharp blade nicked the other Eternal's cheek. An angry red line quickly gushed out blood that flowed down her face. The blade left Sprite’s hand as if she was burned by it.
More calmly than Sprite thought possible, Thena raised a hand to clamp over the side of her face. She still looked at her with caring eyes and a sad smile. It was as if she didn’t even notice the pain, she no doubt had inflicted on her.
“It’s alright.”
Sprite looked on, terrified. “How can you say that?! I nearly split your face open. I- I told you! It’s not safe to be near me. You need to get away from me. Just- Go!”
She raised her hand to shove the other eternal away, but she didn’t trust her mind to not harm her friend. So, all her hands did was waver shakingly in front of her body. Thena didn’t leave.
“How can you ask me to leave? You and I are the only ones who understand. We’re the only ones that-“
Have Mahd Wy’ry.
Thena has Mahd Wy’ry, and as of a few days ago, so did Sprite.
Her hands were still shaking. Even with Thena's protective hands on it. The thing was, she knew she was safe. What worried her was the safety of others, and mainly the safety of Thena who was right in front of her, holding her hands, and wouldn’t leave-
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry- Please just leave.” Her eyes couldn’t look away from the angry red blood that was dripping down the side of the other Eternal’s face. Once the sobs started, Sprite knew they wouldn’t stop. She wasn’t even sure how to breathe properly at this point. “I didn’t mean to. I can’t control myself-“
Her sentence wasn’t even finished before Thena was shushing her and pulled her closer. Her arms shifted from holding her hands to holding smaller Eternal altogether.
“It will be okay. It might not be now, but it will be.” She looked down at Sprite and obviously saw that her tears hadn’t stopped falling. “I need you to believe that for me. Because it’s true. If you can’t, then believe that there are people that will be there for you.”
Her cries had subsided, but still, she kept silent.
“You are loved,” a gentle hand started caressing Sprite’s hair “those words were once said to me, and it has gotten me through the darkest of days. Remember, you are loved. Always.”
Thena shook her shoulder slightly. “Promise me you’ll remember that?”
“I’ll try.”
