Ofelia had seen the video and was watching it with the best intentions, not really paying much attention to those around her. As soon as it was off people scattered into groups like little bugs and children, leaving her standing off on her own. She wanted to join her friends, if she had friends, but instead she just sort of moved away and looked out to exploring on her own. Supplies had been gathered, she set out, and the ground was cold beneath the heels of her boots.
Just what exactly was she looking for? Something like a pearl? Ofelia didn't even really know what a pearl was, something like a stone or jewelry? The young teen was going to give a go though, she wanted to be useful even if the wounds burned over her chest and she was still shaky on her legs going outside.
This will end wonderfully. Rue's confidence at the success caused Ofelia to pause in her steps. Oh no, I meant for me. You're going to die.
Yup, that sounded more reasonable and more like Rue, and Ofelia shuffled against the cold. Exploring alone would be best.

The walking was easy, the landscape was bare and blank. Ofelia wasn't sure what to look for, she really really wasn't, but that was't going to just pop itself out in front of her like she was hoping. The only way she was going to find whatever the pearl was had to be by good ol' fashioned searching, and so the grounds were empty enough that she didn't need to worry about danger getting her right away.
Then came the penguins, running penguins, and the sounds of ice cracking. The ground started to split beneath her feet and the teen thought it might be best to try and run and get away before she was swallowed beneath the ice. It was hard to get traction, she couldn't run because of her wounds, and the bottom of her shoe slipped and sent her crashing into the ground.
All the air was knocked from her lungs and pain shot through her chest, forever keeping her sprawled until the shaking stopped. The pain spread through her like a hot knife as she pushed her way to her knees, a hot-wheeze pushing from her lips.
This little adventure was starting out all kinds of shitty. Maybe she should have listened to the buzzing on her arm, not that Ofelia cared about the level of skill her watch-thing was supposed to have. Standing, she started to move again towards the crack. Something was going to happen over there, right?

The ground split and a tentacle came up from the crack, Ofelia staggering back from the sudden impact of it all. The little watch against her wrist was screaming, this monster was not normal, and the hunter trainee moved to try and get away as it lunged at her.
A roll managed to get her away from the creature but it left her wheezing and stinging, her weapon summoning quickly as both teen and monster thing prepared for battle. This would not end well

Apparently Ofelia wasn't going to be much of a match against a tentacle, not by herself, but she wasn't willing to give up. People were going to wonder if she didn't come back at all, not that she expected them to look for her or anything, and she rolled just in time to avoid a full on hit. The tentacle cracked against her ankle, leaving a stinging welt, and she missed hitting it back because well she didn't dodge and attack.
Was her wound to blame or was Ofelia just that bad at everything?

Another strike from the tentacle floored her, sending her backwards and crashing against the ice. When the beast came down for a second strike she kicked it away with the tip of Rue's blades, glad to see that she was able to do -some- damage. She didn't want to die, she didn't want to end it like this, but she wasn't hitting hard enough.
At this rate she was going to get taken down by a type of sushi meal.

Ofelia wasn't going to let the creature hit her, not this time, and she once again found herself rolling out of the way and making a good space between herself and the tentacle. There was no way on Earth that she was going to let herself be easily smacked around, not like this, and getting to her feet she wheezed and placed a hand against her chest. It was lucky that she managed to spin and avoid it, but how much more could she do it?
Yes, she was going to do it because dammit she wasn't going to be overrun this soon into everything. She needed to do more than one hit, she needed to defeat this and not die before she could die with the rest of her friends.

Ocuh ouch ouch, Ofelia wasn't liking this. She needed to hit, she needed to hit hard, but all she was doing was making a fool of herself. It might have been a best idea for her go and hang out with people, getting her into a group and maybe going with a buddy?
Her stupid want to be helpful and useful had ended in her maybe dying at the hands of a squid. Failure and a half!

All she needed to do was stay confident, all she need to do was keep trying. She was getting hit, she was getting stuck and in pain, but she wasn't going down. Rue was thinking something along the lines of Ofelia needed to give up, roll over and die, but the teen wasn't willing to go. She took a hit but gave one back.
It was all she could do, all she wanted to do, and god dammit Ofelia was going to charge her weapon and tear this damn thing to shreds. Rue liked that idea, all she needed was one more taste. . . .

Rue felt it in her weapon form and Ofelia could hear the words in her head. Her weapon was ready to fight, ready to release, and the teen took a strike before returning another one. It was harder, stronger, and she enjoyed the feeling and rush that was coming from properly fighting back and not just taking the hits like a weak child.
The beast was going to die, she would see to it, and the blood that was seeping into her bandages made sure she was going to keep moving. Rue was not going to get her wish, Ofelia was not going to die just so easily.
The knuckledusters were unhappy but let it go, just ready to attack and dig deeply into flesh of her enemies.

This was it, the feeling Ofelia wanted and needed, and she kicked from the ice and charged towards the monster. It hit her, barely, and she tore into it with a fury and wrath as her attack released itself and her fists contacted its flesh again and again. Ofelia found herself cackling alongside Rue, both weapon and hunter enjoying this.
The tentacle gave a weird noise as it flopped down and, to Ofelia's surprise, it didn't stay there - it pulled itself back down beneath the ice and vanished from her sight. The screaming of her FEAR scanner stopped, the ringing in her ears going with it, and Ofelia wheezed as she placed a hand against her chest.
Her FEAR shield had held.

Ofelia needed to get back to the others, she was in no shape to really be looking around now. She needed to go and Rue was too busy singing in her ears to even give her an argument to keep her moving.
Limping, dripping blood, Ofelia started back towards the camp and the tent where maybe she could get better? Or at the very least she would have the bleeding stop for now and get a fresh change of bandages. The fight was done, the thing was gone-ish, and she started to run.
Ouch ouch ouch.
