FRAGILE SOULS || Capture

[Fairylights]

―――― Fairy didn't know what lurked around the coner. Most of her life, she had been well protected within walls, with a loving family; she never had to worry about having food on the table, or being cold at night. She never had to worry about people that would want to hurt her, or having to be harmed aside from a few cuts and scrapes. Certainly she had taken an interest in first aid during her time, watching her mother patch up her miniscule injuries, but Sunhaven was much different. In Sunhaven, she had shown up at the border, thin, hungry, her paws cracked and bleeding, her brow bloody, in a lot of pain for one so young, and for one that had barely experienced pain as it was, now having to deal with it all; not just physically, but emotionally. Losing her parents left a hole in her heart that she ignored, that she was trying to heal. She never showed it on the outside in Sunhaven, but she thought about them often, she tried to remember them, often. Their loss was still fresh, but it was a pain that wouldn't compare to the fear that she felt now; so similar to the fear that she had felt then.

In a moment her attention was upward at the sound of paws, her eyes widening at the large beast that was now lunging for her, but before her voice could so much as squeak she was snatched right up into the man's jaws, a small, pitiful thing in comparison to his height and weight. Her mind was overwhelmed, her senses on alert, but her body frozen as her mind was unable to process and catch up with what was occuring. She wanted to scream, to fight, to run, to cry, all at once, and yet her body did not react, as if her limbs were suddenly weighed down with pure iron. His words sank into her ears and a cold chill ran through her body as her paws flailed, her body attempting a reaction, trying despite his words. He didn't need to say what would happen if she didn't comply; she'd probably end up dead, or worse- though she wasn't quite sure what was worse than death. Being blinded? Maimed? Left for dead? Her mind did not consider any of these as her breath began to heave in her chest as panicked gasps, tears pricking her eyes as she tried to muffle her sobs with little avail. No! her mind screamed as she watched the border began to cross beyond her view, as they began to run with her dangling from his jaws, butu with his teeth in her scruff and the way she was held above the ground, she would not be able to free herself when her paws could not reach, when she could not physically pry open his jaws, nor when she lacked the body mass and strength to pry herself free manually. She didn't even think that she could swipe a paw at his chest if she tried.

In a moment, a singular moment, Fairylights was gone, only her necklace remaining in the grass where she once sat, the chain broken neatly in two where Lucky's teeth had snapped it upon being grabbed.
