MY DEAR, THERE ARE SECRETS HERE | | |
//tw: Mentions of burn injuries, mentions of gun violence and regular violence
Bub had never struck her family, not from fear or anger. She hadn't even attacked Lessandra - not that Bub was in any state to be fighting when she'd woken up to a sizable portion of her skin burnt off - but she'd fought before, she'd hurt people and did it without remorse.
She didn't regret hurting Elliot, as little as she had. She regretted- not leaving sooner; not kicking all of his teeth in; not just shooting the bastard before he did it again- but she never regretted what hurt she caused. She was regretting what hurt she caused now, if not for the fact that she knew deep down she was liable to do it again.
Bub flinched at Sel's furious tone and- she had a right to be furious, Bub had struck her. If she'd been in a better position she really could've hurt Sel. But for the life of her Bub couldn't wilt entirely, self preservation kicking in where her mind left gaps of panic at her sister's tone.
She stepped back, and stepped back again. Fight or flight, fight or flight; if she froze she'd- she'd- She couldn't freeze, and she couldn't fight. So flight was chosen, and she took a third step back and watched Sel like a wary animal.
Groveling wasn't in her nature, though she knew that's what Sel would respond positively to. She wasn't smart or charming like her siblings, so she'd take the reliability of her own two legs if she needed to bolt before she considered relying on her fumbling words to get her out of this mess.
