“Quit your bitching.”
“I’ll pull out that hair of yours, b***h.”
“The world is in fact ending.”
“What’s new?”
“Your cattiness will destroy you.”
“Not the first time I’ve heard that.”
“Unfortunately, we do not know how to kill it.”
“So you’re utterly useless, then?”
“We're royalty, not fighters.”
“Uhg, you’re all useless!” Sonya finally howled just as a shadowy figure approached, blocking her hazed view of the torchlight for a few seconds. She felt the person looming over her and was reminded of the sensation caused by lurking eyes on your skin, that chill of the unseen but sensed predator. She paid no mind, however, to the cautious suspicion of her instincts and chose instead to focus on the weight of binds leaving her wrists. She sprang to her feet the moment the ropes were tossed aside, scowling at the dark world around her.
“Out of my way,” Sonya demanded, shoving aside the elf brother who freed her. The strange sleep had disoriented her temporarily, but the blurry light from the torches hugging the walls told her the exact shape of the room and where everyone was. She marched straight to the center, her face whirling around to everyone as if she’d meet their eyes.
“So you sewer rats,” she hissed, waving to the elf siblings, “want us all to believe that the fate of humanity rests in the fat hands of royalty?! I’m supposed to accept that these sniveling brats and their playthings are going to save everyone? Well I won’t believe a drop of that horseshit. They’re kids. Spoiled, sheltered, narrow-minded little children. Our lives are in their parent’s hands tightly enough. I wont let the last shred of my sanity go into hoping these idiots can make it out alive in the real world long enough to save humanity. Sorry kids, but I like myself way too much to let you fight for me. I’m going with you to make sure you don’t ******** everything up. Understand? Good.”
And with that outburst the elf threw up her hands, her face red and her hair a frazzled mess from all her gesturing and movement. Crossing her arms over her chest with a huff, Sonya turned away from them all and marched back to the wall to lean against it and mutter angrily to herself. It was obvious by her lack of further attention that she couldn’t care less what anyone had to say about the matter. She’d spoken her piece and that was final. Sonya did whatever she wanted, and what she wanted most of all was to keep surviving. It would be messy and unpleasant, but letting the royal children run off alone on their little adventure was equivalent to suicide. Sonya might have hated nearly everything, but she’d never die at the hands of royalty. Of all the things that could kill her, she’d make sure that was the last.
Not that she had much hope.
“We’re all screwed. Royally.”
