Pixie Girl // OPEN to one
The sweat burned in her eyes, but she was too focused to wipe it away, The training course set in front of her growing narrow, tunnel vision setting in as all distractions fell away. The animal inside her made more than one appearance, growing more unstable the angrier she got. Time! She had to beat her time!
Claws buried in the wall to launch herself over with one jump, retracting and landing faster than her brain could process what she’d done, allowing the wolf to take full control of her body, an allowance not always permitted consciously by her, but if it would get her to beat her time...
It was shifts like this when she grew nervous of herself...downright terrified at other times. But, she crossed the finish line, slamming the red timer button to stop the countdown before she could turn into something far more reckless.
She put her hands on her knees, leaning over to catch her breath, finally able to wipe her red, sweaty bangs from her forehead, a relief to say the least. But then, she saw her time.
A full four seconds behind her last record!
She lost it. Went berzerk, blood boiling as barrels were overturned, weights launched into the brick walls. The temper tantrum of the century.
But, it was insanity. She’d somehow done worse than yesterday!
With a barrel over her head like a classless ape (guess her mother hadn’t taught her better, all etiquette out the window), howling with a war cry to rival the gods, about to smash the absolute-
There was a voice. Maybe, even a squeak. A pixie’s cry.
She turned just enough to see a small girl, not as small as Rahne, but a fellow fun size for sure. But, what really caught her eye was the vibrant pink of her hair, glittering in the afternoon daylight like fairy dust. And her face, heavenly. Just...
What did she say? Rahne thought to herself, going over in her head what she would say back, the nerves eating her alive as the barrel began to tremble in her grasp, the adrenaline wearing off as she tried to figure out what the bloody hell to say to such a pretty...girl...why was she so nervous?!
“Go again, lass! Ah didn’ catch that!” she finally called out to the girl, still staring in awe like an idiot, but she couldn’t help it. Seriously, why couldn’t she help it? And then, the barrel tipped over.
