Trust (A SPM Story)

Part 2, Chapter 7

Daisy POV

Weeks, it's been weeks! Seriously, I can't believe this.

He can't just, disappear. I've searched I don't know how many towns and have come up with nothing. Zip. Zilch. Zero. 

I made my way to the next town. Another pointless search.

"Wait....I've been here before."

This was the closest town to the place where we got the Grey Prognosticus. Where....Luigi left me.

It was freezing here. Snow was falling from the sky. It was crazy how the weather changed so drastically in different places. I felt as cold as a popsicle.

"You just have to silently strike like a sly fox preparing to pounce on it's prey."

"Are the similes necessary?"

"Yes. Yes they are. They help me make my point."

I sighed at the memories as I began to shiver, before asking around. Just like everywhere else, no one knew anything.

Useless. I keep running into dead ends. I was never going to find him.

"Does ANYONE IN THIS BLASTED TOWN KNOW ANYTHING!" I cried out in frustration.

"Ma'am, quit causing a scene." A man told me. I turned around. Some guy, who was dressed like a cop or something, was staring at me.

I could feel my face turn red. "I'M NOT CAUSING A SCENE!" I yelled. He crossed his arms.

"I've been getting complaints about a loud girl disrupting the peace here. We aren't gonna have any problems, are we?" 

Is he serious?? "Oh, SO ME INNOCENTLY LOOKING FOR MY FRIEND IS SOMEHOW DISTRUPTING YOUR PEACE??"

"Now, Ma'am. Calm down."

I pulled out my sword and held it in front of me. It was freezing here. I was shaking violently. I'm pretty sure he thought I was insane or something.

"Ma'am. Please, put the weapon down." he said a little too calmly.

"AND LEAVE MYSELF DEFENSLESS?? NO WAY!" I shouted, still shaking.

He leaned down and talked into a radio on his shoulder. "I'm requesting backup, the target seems unstable. She's shaking uncontrollably."

I swung my sword at his radio, causing it to fall and shatter. "I AM NOT UNSTABLE! I AM SHAKING BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING COLD!"

He stepped back, slightly uneasy now. "Backup is on the way. Ma'am, please, try to calm down."

Now I was ticked. "No! I have been living on the run, searching for my friend for who knows how long, with little to no success. My other friend is dead, and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" I yelled, tears coming to my eyes.

Then, a few other officers ran up behind me. They grabbed my arms and pulled me backwards. But it didn't matter. I just started crying.

"I don't know what to do....."

Just give up.

They started dragging me away. Great. Now I was being arrested.

"No. Let me go!" I whimpered, starting to squirm again, tears freezing to my face.

I squeezed my eyes shut as they continued dragging me.

"Stop...." I whispered.

Just give up.

I was cold, tired, hungry.

Just give up.

Why do I even try? Luigi acted like he didn't even know me the last time he saw me.
