astrid, loop 2 // @astridthejohnson
by design, juniper is away from any family member when all hell breaks loose. it’s pure instinct and adrenaline that moves her forward, knives she would never leave home without at the ready. this monster is fast, and worse, stronger than anything she’s ever seen. it’s tearing through everything in it’s path, including demigods. it’s all juniper can do to stay alive, but it’s beating the shit out of her without breaking stride. maybe if she had her magic, but... she ducks behind some debris to catch a breather and nearly collapses right into astrid. “gods, what are you doing here?” she shoves her sister behind her, catching astrid in her periphery because it’s the only thing she can afford. “sing me a song, then get out of here, fast. i’ll cover your exit.”
