TW: Past Ab/se talk, Language, self h/rm, mentions of d//th, little Timmy d//s
Sybil has a tear run down her face seeing little Timmy's lifeless body lying in the ground, when the captain let her go Sybil fell onto her knees a few more tears falling down thinking what did she do to deserve this. Mrs Gardenfield goes upstairs "Everything alright? I heard a gu-" She stops in shock as tears start to develop. She runs up to her child's body and hugs the body in a motherly way, Sybil cries as the captain grabs her face forcefully "Look what you did... You killed an innocent child" He has a final laugh and escapes out the window, Sybil didn't know what to do, she was to shocked to even move by then. Mrs Gardenfield yells out "My child!! My poor child!!" She then plants her face into her sons hair.
Mr Gardenfield then came upstairs and saw his son, then Sybil. He hugs his son keeping in the tears and kisses his wife's and his dead sons foreheads.
Mr Gardenfield then got up sniffing a little and slaps Sybil with the back of his hand letting his ring cut her cheek, Sybil didn't care "WHY!! I TRUSTED YOU!! WHY DID YOU LET MY SON GET KILLED!!" He yells at the girls face making Sybil flinch, she then mumbles something "I-I am sorry... Sir" Mr Gardenfield slapped her again her cheek bleeding more "No sorry is going to bring my child back you realize" He says in a cold deep voice with a few voice cracks.
Sybil looks to her side and gets up and takes out her knife she walks over and gives it to Mrs Gardenfield, she then pulls up her sleeve and looks at her "Do it... Please" Mrs Gardenfield looks at her with sorrow knowing Sybil... A girl from a pirates crew... Was abused.
Mrs Gardenfield shakes her head "No, I can't and will not, my son is dead because of this but I won't hurt another child for revenge" She then gives Sybil the knife back "You will leave my home tonight" Says Mr Gardenfield, he walks out the room frustrated and sad. Mrs Gardenfield then let's go of her son and goes to Sybil "You are welcome... To go to the funeral... Sybil" Sybil nods and smiles a little then hugs Mrs Gardenfield "But you must go to Fiji, the wise sea serpent ok?" Sybil nods "Yes ma'am, I will" She then hugs Mrs Gardenfield again and let's go after some time to go pack her things. Once she finishes she goes outside the home with blood on her hands and clothes, she then looks back and sighs "The only real thing I had to a home" She gulps and walks along with people getting out of the way thinking she murdered someone, West Narvid wasn't so safe as she thought...
Sybil goes to the shore, and goes to the tree with the letter V carved in it, she grabs her gold and puts it in her bag, then goes to the West Narvid dock to aboard a ship, to the Wise Sea Serpent known as Fiji, known to be the wisest species she would ever talk to in her life.
It only took a day until she was there, the ships bells start ringing as Sybil gets down from her hammock and grabs her things landing in the most unique town... La grotta del serpente marino, an Italian town that believes the sea serpent is an old might god being the only one left.
Sybil sighs hoping this serpent can help her, she looks around seeing people talk Italian all of them wearing a badge that has a serpent on there, Sybil thought to herself, who knew a city that believes in sea serpents would do this stuff. She continues to walk around La grotta del serpente marino and finds a place to stay for the night, she gets a room and goes inside there she then hides the gold under a loose board in the floor, she then goes outside and to Fiji, the last wisest sea serpent.
"I've been expecting you... Sia" Sybil gulps and sits on a flat rock "I have come for your wise words" The serpent goes into the light "Hmm, let me guess... You almost cut yourself didn't you?" Sybil gulps and nods "And you even admit it... That was easy" Sybil looks down at his words. Fiji came closer to her "Tell me? What is your life story child?" Sybil gulps and looks up "I am a survivor... I was raised in a house where people would hear a scream... A child's scream, every fucking night... I was harmed... One night, at 14 I cut my hair and tired my chest with fabric... So I would look like a boy... I went aboard a ship, the ship I grew up in, everyone from the old crew is dead... Shot in the head or tied up and thrown into the water... I'm the last one... I wish I was fucking joking but I am not."
Fiji looks surprised then says something... Something hurtful to Sybil "But your trauma and abuse made you stronger, didn't it?" Sybil snaps, she stands up looking at Fiji in the eyes knowing it might kill her, she then has tears form as she cries "FUCKING NO!! I WAS A CHILD A LITERAL FUCKING CHILD!!" She sobs "I DIDNT NEED TO BE STRONGER!! I NEEDED TO BE LOVED AND CARED FOR!! NOT HAVING TO NOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO ESCAPE YOUR WINDOW TO YOUR NEIGHBORS!!" Fiji doesn't move as Sybil continues "I DIDNT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SHOOT A FUCKING BULLET AT MY DAD WHEN HE STARTED HITTING ME FOR NO REASON!! NO GODDAMN REASON!! I DIDNT NEED TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE TO STAB MY MONTH WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE JUST TO BE SENT TO A HOSPITAL!!" She continues to sob and sob "I-I just wanted to be normal! I just wanted to be loved!" "Welcome to the real world sweetheart" Sybil sniffs and looks mad "Don't you dare 'Welcome to the real world' Me! How would you feel if you had to do all those things! At the age of 5!!"
Fiji's eyes widen and realize what's going on "If you were so hurt were is your proof?" Sybil moves her lip and then starts unbuckling her belt taking off her clothes till she was left with nothing but her undergarments, Sybil shows all her scars "Is that enough proof?" Fiji then slithers away going back into the water "Come" She says before she dunks her head, Sybil goes inside and swims following her through the water, they then resurface and Fiji grabs Sybil "Sit, I will heal you" Sybil gulps "You hated me and basically called me brat two minutes ago... So why should I trust you hmm?" Fiji looks at Sybil.
"Even though we experienced different childhood... I will not let you suffer those wounds, you see each scar is a pain, a day in your life where you get horrible and wanted to die... I am getting rid of them so your free from trauma"
Sybil thinks for a minute thinking she might not suffer sleepless nights no more but she decides and looks at Fiji "No... I will keep them, they are scars, but they were wounds, you may be smart but your forgot something... Wounds heal, not fully but mostly" Fiji smiles and then says "Open your eyes, Sia... You have completed your test, now onto the Harmonia" Sybil then woke up in the grotto of the sea serpent, her clothes on looking as if she never took them off, the dream was so... real... she sighs smiling a little bit and grabs her pouch leaving.
