"At braiding hair maybe." Edy snarls back, her youthful piss and vinegar now set ablaze by the madness seeping insidiously into the black and welcoming parts of her mind, of which there are many.
Glee elates the teenager as Rory falls. He still holds the reins, but seeing him grimacing on his back is absolutely everything. Edy strides forward, fire burning from her fingertips as she is intercepted by a white fox. He is really just blue eyes under the warm glow of her flames, but the part of Edy that adores animals and would normally trying to coax him to safety has been drowned by whispers and mental paper cuts covered in lemonjuice. "Fuck off before I make you into some mittens." Her foot raises as it to punt the fox into the darkness, but suddenly Bobi's thoughts invade her own. She pays them little attention, too focused on the hate and heat riling her up, but the kitten's urges of leave fox alone are enough to refocus Edy's attention on Amalia.
The bob cat cannot communicate with the fox, but she senses...something. Something familiar that makes her think of paws reaching for hair like silk that glides through her claws. Something that makes her want to keep him safe.
"The fuck do you ... know...aboutit.." Edy stammers, fury draining from her in a way which makes her feel weak. Her breath hitches in her chest, and a hand goes to her head as if to massage away the darkness that feels as though it's lifting. "Wha...what the fuck?" Glancing down at Rory, singed and wounded, Edy's eyes go wide, two spots of black in the darkness, and the fire disappears from her fingers. "Fuck. Shit. I didn't...fuck—" She tried again, whirling around as if expecting to see something that she should actually be fighting.
"We gotta fix this shit and then get the fuck out of here." Edy says, though as she considers what is in her arsenal, she realizes she has nothing useful. Fire will not rebuild this. Splintering it apart will not help.
Fuck.
So, she grabs one of the fallen ropes and just pulls. The beam has to come down anyways, and brute strength is all she has left. EDY
Could dress up to get love. But guess what?
I'm never gonna be that girl who's living in a Barbie world
