Seeing the old, haggard woman come out of wherever it was she came from brought Eden back to the present. Rapunzel was kind, but it was obvious that she wasn’t about to help this stranger to kill her own mother. A 12 year old girl with a dagger against a hideous stepmother. This oughta be interesting.
Eden held her dagger out against the old woman, immediately taking a defensive position.
"What did you want with my daughter’s hair hmmm?" The old woman’s voice had a terrifying lilt to it, one filled with unbridled paranoia.
"I didn’t want anything with her hair, honestly." All the same, Eden was contemplating how to deal with the old woman.
Rapunzel had been giving her all the attention that she needed and this witchlike woman wasn’t going to take that away. If that meant Eden was going to have to kill her herself than so be it.
Eden’s back collided with the wooden door between her and the snowy tundra that was the arena and left the old woman with a much better position. She held her rather pointy wooden sword up under Eden’s chin, lifting her head up until she met her gaze.
"I don’t like liars." Her voice was almost reptilian in nature, and Eden knew she had but seconds before the weapon would slice her throat.
So instead she took a step forward and slashed out towards Rapunzel’s mother. Comfortable with a dagger, but not a moving target, Eden barely drew blood and left but a scratch. The old woman was caught off guard for a moment by the fact that this young child fought back and Eden took the surprise to her advantage.
"I said I didn’t want anything with her hair!" There were many things Eden LeBlanc was, but a thief was not one of them. Blindly swiping at the air between her and the older woman, Eden was bound to hit flesh at some point. But so was her opponent. On more than one occasion the sword found it’s target on her jacket, leaving small slits in the fabric. Thankfully the jacket was thick enough to where it didn’t effect the protection against the cold but it did effect Eden’s temper.
The young girl ran at the haggardly woman who proceeded to fall backwards into a chair, sending her tumbling to the floor. If she had been a few years younger the fall wouldn’t have been to terrible. But to Eden’s luck, she was far past her hayday.
With the woman sprawled on the ground, Eden took the opportunity to stab her knife down into the woman’s chest. When she withdrew the weapon, blood spurted all over her white winter wear and left the young girl covered in crimson.
With her rush of adrenaline passed, Eden collapsed into a chair, sincerely hoping that Rapunzel wouldn’t hate her for just killing her mother.
