Snippet #2722093

Scarlette looked up at Vitas. It had been what seemed like months before she had visited, though she wasn't too keen when Vitas showed up. It meant emotionless and useless questions, but when she said she could meet someone she wanted to see Scarlette had perked up. It meant she got to see her pupper.

She scrambled up and followed Vitas to the next cell over. You know he is a male, Scarlette. You can do this. You did it in your cell. Just breathe slowly. Think back to the conversation you two had. It was nice. He is nice. He is not the monster that attacked you. He is a good guy. She had to repeat that to herself as they walked to the cell. Scarlette notice the plate of food and wondered if it was to distract him while she met Aldric. If maybe he couldn't be near people. And then the thoughts started to creep into her head. If he has to be distracted from her seeing him, is he really a good person. Plus he had to have done something wrong if he is in here. She could feel the change coming. No, no, no.

Then she saw him. Her nails and teeth became sharp, but she leaned down and rested one of her hands on her knee and held the other one up, "I... got... this..." She managed to say. He isn't the monster. He is a good man. He talked to me and he is funny. She thought over and over as she breathed. It took only a minute for her hands and teeth to turn normal and she looked up at Vitas, tears in her eyes, and a big smile. "I can control it."
