lux radley.
THERE ARE NO ADEQUATE WORDS, none that she can say & none that she wants to say. a hollow place in her chest still remains where her heart should be & she has SLOANE to thank for that. there is a slight pause as she slips out of her jacket, proceeding to hanging it on their coat rack. ( add that to the list of the many things she never though they would OWN ─── courtesy of division. ) faux naivety is splashed across her face as hazel hues finally meet hers, an arm is raised as a single, spider - like finger comes to rest at her chin. ❛ me ? sneak out ? i’m not a CHILD, sloane. ❜ head cocks to the side, ❛ ── and i’m always quiet . ❜
SOMETHING IN HER HITCHES AT THE SIGHT -- the bear trap of her body sprung, the shark in her searching for blood. ( deceit ) becomes her sister as beautifully as it once had her ---- it makes a gown of fine gossamer upon the younger radley, spider’s silk spun in her hair. it scares her. ------ a long time ago, she had given her blood for her sister’s. she is not sure whose it is that shall be shed before this is all over -- is not sure she wants to. is not sure she ever will. her mouth works for a fraction of a moment, teeth grinding tight enough to BURN, malachite hues rolling once more, a sigh chained to her tongue. ( she is a child, you think -- she will always be a child, to the end of your days. she will always be a child, & you will always be her protector. remember that. ) ❛ not always. ❜ brows quirk, amused. ❛ you got caught this time. ❜
