Nyx pov:
I'm tired and we've been walking for forever, she hasn't even told me her name yet like manners?
Aggggg
Anyway we keep walking
And walking
And the sun sets
Yet we keep walking
Note I am strong and I walk a lot...like that's how I move...but I don't do this akkk.
Also I have came to a conclusion about my "captor" my thoughts are that she is stupid (like really incredibly fucking stupid) buttt she knows a lot about fighting/military shit.
I know those don't quite line up, but at the same time I think it's weird that she doesn't know much.
We stop and quite suddenly it's still dark and we are in the middle of the woods.
"Hey lady I don't really know what you whole "deal" is but we are going to stop and take a break here"
"No, I just need to relocate the stream and then we will continue"
I am so done with her. She tied my hands behind me and I can't feel my entire shoulder and back. As well as continuously called me an Idiot.
"You know what, fuck off, you and I are in the same boat here, we both woke up the same way and yet I am not tugging you around getting you lost in a forest, now am I?" She interrupts but I honestly don't care and keep talking. "Ehh you know what, you shut up for a change, huh?" I feel streaks of my power from my mother streak into my hands, the air or whatever it was cracked into pieces and then dissipates as if it had never been. She gawks and I stalk forward, she had kept me at a distance and so I was quite far away from her.
I laugh, I love intimidating people. Like it's creepy how much I love it, I commonly do it to prisoners instead of torturing them..I really don't know if it's kinder to make them shit pants in fear or lose a finger...eh
"Where's all that "swagger" when the handcuffs are gone hmm? Are you weak? Can you only dare to face me when I am chained up? Oh that's nasty."
Smiling, I reach her and take her chin in my hand. She is tall, but I am still taller. I make her look up, she grimaces and has the audacity to look like she's not scared.
"I want to make a deal with you" she says suddenly
"Oh hmm? Once I have the power now you wanna make deals, what do you have that I want hmm? From my position I see very little."
"Well, uh... when we get out of this mess then I will find something I mean I am a princess so-" she stutters, that is oddly commercial, I interrupt her anyway. "Honey," oohh that was fun she looked like someone had slapped her, her emotions were a mess. "I don't actually give a fuck that you are a princess. I really couldn't care less. And please please don't go the route of" I took on a higher pitched voice and said "If you hurt a hair on my head my daddy will kill you" I let go of her chin and step back, but not breaking eye contact. "Honey, that won't work, I'm not scared of you dad whoever he is, and on top of that I have more power than you so I could easily kill you and go live my life."
"Uh I mean my dad would be mad but you would have to deal with my mom. I think she would be more angry."
She maintains eye contact but her over powering I'm better than you attitude decreases, leaving a girl, probably about my age, in a strange situation without anyone she knows and a strange guy.
"And even if we don't make a deal my name is Lyria" she holds out her hand and breaks our eye contact. I look down at her head as she stares at the ground, her hair is silver, with hints of a blonder tone in the middle.
I step back again and take her hand, she looks slightly startled before shaking it.
"I don't want to make a deal with you, deals are complicated and one of the people always ends up getting scammed and I don't feel like dealing with that today. So I will work with you to find our way out of here or whatever this is, but until then neither of us can put handcuffs on the other, or tie the other one up okay?"
She stares at me with laughter dancing behind her eyes, I then realized what I said, and it's not that it was a dirty joke, it was just that she was dirty minded. "Oh fuck off" but I laughed and we end up in fits of laughter.
