WHAT DOESN’T KILL HER BETTER RUN, RUN, RUN.
FATE : what a strange little creature that seems to work in even stranger ways, no ? fate is what caused the loss of flesh &. bone &. on this day, once more does FATE bring her to the bull like moth to BURNING FLAME. it’s funny .. before when she was simply cruising along, leaving clouds of dust in her wake, yang never DREAMED that the rustling of leaves &. snapping of twigs would EVER be from such a dreaded scenario, but alas !! nothing EVER appears like it seems, no ? &. THUS WE CUT TO NOW : cut to the way twin heliotropes widen &. shift to vibrant, glowering red, red, RED. emotions are evident, CRYSTAL CLEAR as yang xiao long displays via white hot flame dripping from her mouth ( BURNING mother earth below ) &. plumes ‘pon plumes of smoke escaping from nostrils. the bloodied muscle hidden away in ribcage sanctum drops to the pit of churning belly at the sight of HIM : vile memories of that day creep into the dragon’s psyche &. HAUNT her to the core, but she’s grown.
THE MIGHTY DRAGON SHALL FOREVER BE ABOVE THE COMMON BULL.
ember celica ‘ CLICKS ‘ with the loading of ammunition ; with a WAR CRY rising from the depths of throat &. BELLOWING from lips, the beast LUNGES forth with every &. ALL intentions of saving HER : SAVING THE BLACK CAT WHO SAVED THE DRAKEN WHEN ALL WENT TO HELL. this time .. it’s YANG’S turn to save BLAKE. foolish ? by all means, it’s just as STUPID, too, but perhaps ‘ death wish ‘ is just a fancy way to say ‘ ambitious ‘ these days ? she can hope, she can dream. yang’s cries falter the lock on gaze adam has ‘pon belladonna’s form, only for a moment while she acts as though she’s going to repeat history &. aim for that smug, UGLY smirk across his lips, though instead the amount of smoke escaping from the beast would have one believe the forest has been set ABLAZE ; it gives xiao long time, time to throw the feline girl over strong shoulders &. ultimately BOLT to temporary safety among thick brush.
❛ SHUT . UP !! ❜ a hiss to rumble the heavens above. don’t stop running. don’t stop until SHE is safe. ❛ yer outta yer damn MIND if y’think i’m letting this shit happen again, got it ?! just .. let me help YOU ! ❜
she remembers the moth & she remembers the fire alike, the same old boring tale of pre - determined suicide ; but she also remembers being the darkness watching / not doing anything to prevent the tragedy. she hates how far the shadows have creeped up against her skin to softly rest their grip around her throat, but there were also just lingering & never pressing. but now the moth had risen from the ashes & changed into a burning phoenix, born anew & it was ready to exstinguish the flame that had caused it so much pain. she wanted to help, but the moment she cries out, the pitch black hands throttled her voice & she couldn’t move. she can just listen / watch / weep ( again. )
though then hope cuts through smoke as the last thing she sees is yang swinging a fist up high & the strong sound of collision & it makes her flinch as she tries to open her mouth one more time, because adam was something that had infested its roots far too deep in the back of their minds to be ripped out like this, all at once. it would end up killing them both, but soon she sees ; the sun lunges towards her & she waits to be burned but is pulled into warm arms & thrown over a shoulder as she finds her voice again. ❛ yang! what are you doing?! ❜ she can only kick weakly as she sees adam’s face / the face of her dreams & nightmares disappear behind thick smoke & she can’t see yang’s face either, sending her into a panic.
❛ i don’t need your help! ❜ she wants to yell more, if she remembered what had happened last, but of course she does, they both carried scars from that fateful night & it makes her palms sweat. ❛ where do you think you’re taking me?! let me go! ❜ her emotions were a whirlwind & the cuts were burning even more when being whipped by the branches they were passing through, but there was nothing worse than the searing pain of guilt that hit her as she felt metal against her skin. ❛ yang, your arm -------- ! ❜ but the shadows choked her up again & she is so helpless as the tears that had been collecting on the border of her eyes finally ran free.
