She ran her thumb over its surface. She hadn’t thought about this piece of paper since the day of the fall, and had forgotten it in the trek through the desert with Shatter. She considered opening it but decided against it, shoving it back in her pocket and continuing to walk forward.
*makes mental note about this piece of paper*
Tera smiled, almost sweetly, sharp teeth bright against her gray skin and burning green eyes unnatural, framed by matted black hair. Her tail coiled tightly behind her, unmoving, and her wings remained half-extended. One was lifted slightly higher than the other and her tilted head moved her further askew, the unfamiliar and red jagged scars crisscrossing what remained of Tera’s left hand and forearm only shattering the remnants of symmetry. Her hand hung at an unnatural angle, the last two fingers mangled and half-healed incorrectly, while her wrist and forearm were missing chunks of flesh that had just healed over with skin, leaving conspicuous dents where there had been none before.
Well shit. I knew Tera wouldn't stay hidden for much longer, but tracking Syl down when she's alone? Oh boy...
“It was clever, running across the dunes like that. If you hadn’t left tracks I wouldn’t have guessed it,” Tera said conversationally, looking at the claws on her right hand and watching as light played across them. “I painted you a picture. You and Shatter. You never went back to see it.” She pouted. “You never go to see it.”
*shudders* Creepy psycho bitch...
“Who else is alive?” Sylondra asked, narrowing her eyes and reverting her attention back to Kaldra. “Shatter and I got out. Tera, obviously. You two. Anyone else?” “No. It’s just us.” “What about Kris? He seemed-” “Kris is dead.” Kaldra shifted her chainsaw arm, calling attention to it. “Trust me.” “He did some damage, though.” Avery stretched and yawned. “Kaldra’s eye was fucked.” Sylondra shivered. “So they’re all-” “Every last one,” Kaldra confirmed. “I didn’t take an exact count but I’d be very surprised if there were any left.”
Welp there goes any last hope I had that my A-team daughter was still alive somehow. I just really hope she didn't end up being used as part of that 'picture' that Tera made *shudders*
