Snippet #2721788

The birds were annoying, but after Kenner's explanation they were no longer interesting.

Akhira hated how he could see into her mind so easily. To see her hope and how she wanted to be free. It made her even more anxious. This Being before her was old and ancient, and far too incomprehensible for her to really map into what she thought of the world. Except, he did seem to help her with her illness, at least for the moment. She immediately pulled her hand away when he touched it; She had never liked physical contact in this form. Her attempt to block his sight had been of pure panic and would never happen again.

Akhira tilted her head so that her hair would cover her eyes, and bit her bottom lip with her canines. She had had enough of this strange dream and wanted it to be over. The odd fight on her way here, the way this all seemed to be happening, like a kick to the stomach. She was now a possession in this Primordial One's mind and he would never take her seriously it seems. After all, I'm just a child in his mind.

Anger at her inability to change this form filled her. It was a bad mixture of pain, hatred and anger all swirling inside her, this time directed back at herself. It was this form that seemed to make all the others view her as nothing but a beautiful thing to be taken, stolen or fought for... even be coddled and treated like an adorable doll by the female humans. It all irritating.

Akhira looked to city, whereupon she saw the glint of rooftops and Windows in the distance. She felt that in some small way, Kenner was lying to her. Could what is really lost be regained? No. How could he say all this to her and expect her to believe it? A dark emotion welled up in her chest, made her teeth sharpen instinctively, breaking through What LOOKED like the skin of her lip to show the light from under her flesh. "Fine, but can I go back to my room, I can start doing whatever it is you assign me to tomorrow."

She was sure of it somehow, this place would choke her slowly until all her hope was gone. Captivity, even one as spacious as this, was still Captivity.
