but there's chaos brewing
underneath my skin
Melita didn’t know what or how to fix anything anymore. She’d tried as best she could with what she had, and it hadn’t taken, hadn’t mattered. So she wondered too, in the back of her mind, what was worth the efforts, the time, the expense. She loved them all and would do anything for them; and still, the youth avoided her own family. Her fists clenched and unclenched, a sigh winding its way through her chest, bellows and echoes simply extinguishing back into the air as silent frustrations. A nod for the notions contained; no more to be said.
Regardless, fighting wouldn’t solve it, but it could air away the mounting pressures. With a grin suddenly lingering along her features, she too stepped forward, placing the knives back in the bag. “Sure.” She hadn’t done so in a long while – it’d be good to utilize muscles and upheaval again, rather than weaponry and munitions. Practice made perfect on all angles.
The acceptance would be the only thing Aurelia would receive before motions began – a stance taught by her uncle, and all the wildness curled and coiled within. Fast and swift, keen and bright, eager and incensed by everything and nothing at all, the honeybee surged forward, and then ducked slightly, aiming for Aurelia’s stomach.

trying to hold in the storm
