Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun... (Quinn)
Curled in a small ball, the fragile woman clutched her knees with a frailty not associated with someone like her. In fact, the only thing people associated her with was sex. Lots, and lots of sex. Which wasn't exactly not true, but still... She had hobbies outside of being tied down.
Resting her head against her knees, she closed her eyes, letting the last rays of sun sink down below the earth. The warmth was a comfort she seldom enjoyed, but tonight, the Widow Maker was feeling oddly... lost. A feeling that was so foreign to her, she wondered if it even was loneliness, or perhaps just a weird boredom. Loneliness... and... a twinge of... sadness.
Jumping up as soon as the words hit her consciousness, Evelynn let out a low hiss of surprise. These emotions... Not happiness, or coyness, or anything remotely like her, were a burden. But... why these things? Why now? She was content on top of a woman, or a man, but now, with nothing in her fingers but the soft fabric of the silk robe, and the faint kiss of sunlight on her blue cheeks... Emptiness.
Thinking back on her life, shrouded full of mystery and the musky smell of bodily functions, there wasn't time for things people enjoyed. Sure, there was the killing, that sweet look of surprise and red liquid that she adored almost as much as the white liquid... But she wasn't... whole. Looking to the women in the League, she was always filled with envy, never knowing why, until now. The moment the sun hit her eyes, it was a new world, a new perspective.
Evelynn didn't have friends. She had a lover, who wasn't much of a lover at all, as he slept around more than she did- something impressive for the time. She had no family, no one to lean on when the murders got rough, or to laugh with about men farting in the shower. She never had friends, or connections, or true, real, honest to goodness love.
A translucent tear slipped down her face, going unnoticed, save for the fact that it sparkled, catching that last glimmer of hope off the sun as it sank down. The world was a playground. Full of fun, and play time, and adventure. Something she knew better than most. But... this particular night, and perhaps for some time now... she was alone on that playground. No one to help her on the swings, or the jungle gym... No one to help her when she scraped her knee. No one to hold her and tell her it was okay...
Dashing barefoot through the halls, tears continued down her face, dancing and trickling down her cheeks. The soft padding of her feet made her silent, unknown to the summoners walking by, who only saw the droplets of water on the stone floor. Racing to the garden, Evelynn dashed to the top of the hill that overlooked the vast grounds of the Institute. Leaning against an old Oak tree, her yellow eyes blurred from the tears that stained her cheeks a soft pink.
