Something had changed within her. Everything felt colder. Darker. It was odd considering it was spring. She had ignored it for as long as she could. It was easy until she met her.
Her.
"You're searching for something. Someone."
It was true. Suiteheart had been searching desperately for the souls. She needed Lil, Lissa, and Eli. She had had such hope in her heart when she found Margaery, but she was beginning to be crushed. Her mood was gray. She couldn't seem to be lifted. And this stranger... They knew that.
"I can help you, you know?" the flame-colored feline said, voice calm and kind. She even offered a gentle smile. "You're tired. I can help you, but you have to help me first. And then you can rest, having found what you are looking for."
She seemed so kind, so welcoming. Suiteheart trusted her. She had to. This creature knew something. "Who are you? How did you find me?"
The creature shook her head. "It's a secret. But it's okay. You're looking for Lil, right? Lilyspoise? I know where she is. And I know how to get the other two: Lissa and Eli. You want to find them, right?"
"But... I don't understand. How do you know them? How did you-" Suiteheart wanted to bombard the ginger creature with questions, but she was cut short.
"Not important." Her voice had somehow shifted. It was harder now, less gentle. "Here's the thing: I require a high price for giving information. And anyway, it's a price you'll have to pay. I know you live in the Ascendants. With Margaery. I know you two are lying to everyone. I can easily spill these secrets. I can easily hurt your wife. And I can easily make sure you never see your children again." A sick smile unfurled upon the stranger's lips, making Suiteheart shudder. "Now, now. No need to be so scared! I'm not scary. But my friends are. They're the one's who've helped me find this information. And my friends need something big from you."
Suiteheart frowned heavily. This was all too much... Her head was spinning. How did this girl know so much? Who the hell was she? But still... Suite needed to make sure her wife would be okay. She needed to find her children and to make sure they were safe. She needed them all to be okay, even at the greatest of all sacrifices.
"I don't understand..." she murmured. "How do you know so much?"
"I have friends in high places. And I've got friends in low places." The feline sat herself down, neatly wrapping her tail around her paws. She offered Suiteheart a gentle smile, but its undertones were so sinister it stirred Suite to her core. "Would you like to hear my price?"
Suiteheart inhaled deeply. She let the idea float around in her mind. Could she live with it? If it meant the safety of her wife and children and their reunion, she would live with and pay any price. She would have to. It was not out of the question. "Yes."
The being smiled that sick smile once more. "Great," she purred. "All I need is your soul. You'll still be here, but you will be mine. You'll do as I say. Forever. Simple as that. Do you accept?"
"Wait - I - but... I - I don't..." She watched as the feline arched an eyebrow.
"Oh, it's okay. I guess I'll be seeing you around, Suiteheart Folie. Say hello to your lovely wife for me. Maybe I'll find her instead. I'm sure she would give anything for her family. She obviously cares more than you." With that, the orange cat stood and began to walk off.
Suiteheart's eye grew wide. She... She couldn't let Margaery do this. No. She wouldn't allow it. The ivory feline called, "I-I accept." Her baby blue eyes fell to the floor. What would happen now?
"Perfect. Simply perfect."
A shot of absolute pain ripped through Suiteheart. The girl let out a wail. She began to grit her teeth as the other feline giggled. The world around her grew dim. It was darkening. Her chest hurt. Her head her. Her entire being screamed in pain.
And just like that, there was nothing.
The lifeless form of Suiteheart slammed to the floor. There was nothing. The body was lifeless. Empty.
"Did I say you'd live? Oops." the stranger giggled, turning to walk away. Such easy, simple work. It was almost pathetic at how quickly Suiteheart caved in. Oh, well, her soul would make an excellent present for the beast. He would enjoy this one, she was sure.
But her work was never done, was it? So off she went in search of more. All that was left was for Grassina to witness the reactions of her friends. This was a great joke, wasn't it? And to the two nerds reading this: it's just a joke. Suite still lives.
[align=center][div style=" background-color: transparent; border: 0px solid black; width: 530px; min-height: 9px; font-family:; line-height: 110%; text-align: justify; padding: 20px"]For Suiteheart, things seemed to be looking up; she had a good home, she had found her wife, and she was actively searching for the souls. Though no crucial leads had surfaced, the area for exploration were decreasing everyday which meant Suite was getting closer to finding her children. Despite all the bad things that had transpired in the past year, things were genuinely getting better, easier.
These thoughts of good fortune swirled in her head, making her feel light. She decided to use these positive thoughts while searching for her children. She had traveled north and east already, so she was headed south. Surely, she would find something. She even carried a small bag with her that held the charm bracelets she had made for her kids in the event that she found them.
A sudden but far-off rustling sound caused her ears to perk, and she stopped moving. After having almost been ran over by Hazel's colt, she was not trying to be trampled today. She swiveled her head to the left, searching for the source of the noise. The scent that drifted to her was not that of the pony. No, it was something entirely different. In fact, the smell brought up a sense of dread in her, yet she could not tell why. 'What the hell could this be?' Suite wondered, trying not to let her curiosity get the better of her.
Despite her better judgement, she crept toward the sounds. Every fiber of her being demanded that she turn around, but she couldn't. It was as if she were drawn forward. Though she knew what she would come across would not be good, she could not stop herself; she had to be certain. She needed to exterminate the idea that was beginning to circulate in her mind.
'Not here,' she thought, a stern look on her face. 'There's no way.' It didn't seem possible, but maybe it was.
Glimpses of white fur could be seen here and there through the dense foliage that engulfed her. The trees around her made Suite think herself extremely small, but the creature ahead of her was massive. Panic arose in her chest as her true fears were realized: it was a bear.
It was not just any bear, however. No, it was a polar bear. She had no idea how this bear had gotten here, but it made her uneasy to even begin to think about. As her worry heightened, her vision began to darken. Her head was pounding. Suiteheart's legs almost gave out, causing her to stumble with a loud crash.
The bear whipped its head around, now having a clear shot of Suite. Baby blue eyes grew wide with a panic as she stumbled backwards. The mighty creature roared at her, taking a step forward. Before Suite could see what happened next, she hit the ground beneath her, unconscious.
[align=center]---
Suiteheart awoke with a start. The dream she had had felt so real... It was terrifying. The last incident with a bear had left her absolutely scarred. She was thankful it was just a nightmare. If it had been real, she wasn't sure she would know what to do.
The female scanned the area around her, and she suddenly became very aware that she was not inside the Observatory. Confusion set in almost at once. Where the hell was she? It looked just like her dream, but the bear was nowhere to be seen. A bright pain stung her head, and she winced. Lifting a paw upward to hold her head, she -
The observer froze in place. Her eyes widened as she moved her paw in front of her face to see it was changed. Her usually petite white paws were now massive. Jet-black claws jutted out of them too. She looked down at her form, begging and praying it was not what she thought it to be.
And yet it was.
Suiteheart had shifted into a polar bear.
"Change back, you fucking idiot!" she roared. This was her worst nightmare come true. To be stuck in a bear's body... This... No. How could her powers return to her to betray her again? She cursed anyone and everyone she could think of. This wasn't fucking fair!
Maybe she just needed to concentrate. Suiteheart closed her eyes, and she waited. But nothing happened. There was no going back. She was stuck. "No. No. Nononononononono!" the usually calm and collected girl hollered. "I can't change back..." she murmured to no one, voice small and terrified.
