She hardly knew what she was doing.
"LET HIM GO!" Anemone had cried. Tamarin had just stood off to the side, willing her voice to work. Willing anything to work, something to save Turtle, stop Pike. Anemone was trying, but it wouldn't be enough. It was never enough, not to stop him. Even Anemone's betrayal wasn't enough.
Her talons wouldn't move as Anemone clawed for Turtle's safety. She was grounded to the spot, helpless.
So Tamarin did the only thing she knew she could.
She opened her mouth, and with too much ease to be comforting, spat venom over Pike's neck.
He toppled to the floor with a resounding thud. Screams echoed around the hall. Screams from the guests. Screams from Anemone. Heaving gasps from Turtle, as he sucked air into his lungs.
"AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!" Pike thundered, desperately trying to peel the venom off, ensnaring his talons in the burning black goop. Everyone watched in horror as his skin melted off his face and neck, revealing the jaw bone and scars, making him look like the second coming of Queen Scarlet. They could almost be in an arena, as Tamarin waited in bated breath as Pike ceased to move.
"Traitor!" A Seawing roared deep in the crowd. "We let you into our home and you come to DESTROY us!" Everyone had apparently forgotten about his death threats a few minutes ago, and were turning to Tamarin as the villain.
"Someone grab her!"
"Where's the Queen?!"
"Princess! Order the guards on her!"
Anemone looked up in a panic, over at Moon and Qibli for guidance. The grieving mother and father could have well been oblivious to the growing drama around them though.
It was just her and Anemone, as it had always been.
The Traitor and the Villain, them against the world.
I'm back and I promise to stay this time. Three months? Tell that to three weeks!
