So apparently, Elric's story is how her brother and sister would hurt her so she ran away, lots of details, running, hiding, finally living with her aunt before running away again, but with Maddy.
Blah blah. Then maddy, her parents didn't like her for being a tomboy, putting ribbons in her hair, which made Maddy hate them even more so she also ran away. When she was sent to some foster care and got a new family she ran away again, she didn't want a family. She came back to her original family and burned their house down and lived in the house in the woods. She then found elric. La dee da.
Elric was smiling at me, her arms resting on the arms while she slouched back in the chair. I hesitated, thinking. "If you're a tomboy, why are you wearing ribbons and named yourself after them?" I asked. "Are you stupid," Maddy asked me, glaring. No, I thought. "It's because ribbons made me hate my parents more, and these ribbons can wrap people up while all they can do is sit there and burn," she told me. Dear God.
Elric glanced at her. "You don't have to be that harsh, Maddy. She's sensitive," she said. "YEAH I'm- wait how did you know I'm sensitive?" Elric smiled apologetically at me. "Oh, I'm so sorry. We forgot to tell you our powers too.." Their powers. Gaaahhh. I rested my head against my fist and crossed my legs. "Okay, let's hear it," I sighed.
Maddy laughed for once. "Haha look at this elric. Your fucking boring her to death. She just wants to know why she's here." I wined. "Just get it over with!! Please!" Elric put her hands up, as if she was about to get arrested. "Alright alright. We'll make this quick."
So maddy a powers was basically fire. But also hanging. Apparently she hung people too. Elric could enter someone's mind and talk to them, make them crazy until they killed themselves. She assured me she couldn't read people's minds when I freaked out. "So how did you know I was sensitive, shy or whatever?" She shrugged. "I guess I could tell. You didn't talk much and looked shy when talking. I dunno," she told me. I just nodded.
"So then," Maddy interrupted, "first of all, you're hear because we saved you from an abusive stepmother. And second, we need to make up your name. By the looks of it, it should have something to do with stitches." I looked down at my arms, my legs. There were a bunch of stitches. I guess she was right. "Something of stitches... " Elric said. "Maybe," she kept thinking, "maybe, Girl of Stitches?" She looked over to Maddy. Maddy shook her head. "No.. It think.. I think it should be more professional." Okay, so I don't get a say in my own nickname? Or, character name, whatever they like to call it. "Okay, what about Ms. Stitches?" Elric said. Maddy looked at her with a bizarre look on her face. "What the hell?" She said. "Ms. Stitches? No!! But.. That gives me an idea. How about 'Mistress of Stitches'?" Maddy said this, doing some rainbow motion as she said the name. Elric dropped her mouth. "Oh my God. Actually, yes that should be it. How does it sound?" She looked back over to me. I stared back. "I um.. I like it.." Elric clapped her hands and then raised then above her head. "MISTRESS OF STITCHES," she yelled.
So I guess I'm Mistress of Stitches. I actually liked the name, to be honest. Maddy watched as elric got up and started dancing around, "so um.. Don't worry that's what people will know you as.. We will just call you by your name, Uh," she looked at me. "Bunny," I finished for her. "Bunny," she said.
Elric rushed over and took my hands. "WELCOME!!" She yelled at me. She hugged me, apparently excited. "We're gonna be the best group everrrr," she said. I started giggling at how much she enjoyed getting a new 'member.' "So I guess our group is done," Maddy said getting up. What? "We now have three members in the group to complete it." She smiled at me, answering my question, somehow. "Oh.. Um okay," I said.
Maddy laughed and took both my hands, putting her fingers in the spaces of mine. "Welcome to the group, Bunny," she told me. Elric squealed and hugged me, while I just stood there, not knowing what to do anymore.
