Her knuckles still burned for them. She wanted more. And, if we're being honest, she never stopped remembering them. Those bullies who threatened Grim and insulted her-she remembered them. She felt restlessness itch in her fingertips. She didn't want to acknowledge the truth in Crowley's temper tantrum, especially not after he scolded her like a child, but she wasn't completely dead in the head-she failed. She shuffled her feet for Ramshackle with bruised hands buried in pockets. Her thoughts fired like snapped wires. Head down and swimming, Julianna experienced her brain sparking. “You and your guilt,” he sneered, “Pathetic. You take action and cower beneath your own heart afterward as if you didn't just savor the ruin you caused! And then you hesitate to do MORE!? WHY DO YOU HOLD BACK? WHY? You carry his blessing– what more could you POSSIBLY want? Either commit to this miserable disguise or wear a new one. You're not fooling anyone with that tough brute because EVERYONE sees you for the mushy weakling you are! And if, after all that, you still insist I parent you, then fine. Go to your room! OUT! OUT OF MY SIGHT!” Crowley's entire frame shook, but no matter how heavily he huffed and puffed, no clouds formed for him.

Damned by every major and minor category of EVERY species for the origin of our magic: the direct gifts of He of Evil. He raised a claw, “Listen clearly because I will never coddle you like this ever again.” He hissed. She numbly shook her head and flinched.Ĭrowley shook his arm and a spray of blot hit her skin. Julianna's wide eyes shakily wandered up. He towered over her, the wrath of glaciers in his booming voice, “Understand now!?” Grinding his teeth, Crowley strangled his arm in a vice grip with the veins in his neck bulging. The blot monster flickered ominously behind her eyes.
At once, the nearby blot attracted to her like a magnet and seeped straight into her pores. The heel of her palm slammed into a stray puddle and she swallowed a scream. She doubled over and retched as creamy chunk slopped across her toes. “You can't just–” She stiffened. Blot exploded past her lashes. Heavy black globs dripped from her nose and chin. “Then, I can not extricate you from your premature fate.” Crowley's taught smile pushed uncomfortably close into her boundaries before he shot briskly past. He pressed his back into the wall the closer she stepped. Tell me, Miss Dare, what you fail to comprehend.” “Well, since you insist your intelligence is simply that indecent, I suppose I shall humor you, for I am gracious. How about you just fucking say what you mean!” Julianna stomped directly into his space and sneered when he jumped back, “You know how we could have avoided that? TALKING. AKA, her mother. He had no right to plagiarize her Maman.
He griped, “My test was a complete and utter waste.”Īs pleasing as the music of slander was, Julianna liked the original track better. HOW did you choose the ONE inept child in ALL OF TWISTED WONDERLAND!?” He slammed his palm into the wall and dropped his head into a hand. Can't see magic, she says! EVERYONE sees MAGIC.
