again — o, powers

[Belladonna]

[align=center][div style="width: 450px;; text-align: justify"][size=8pt]There was a small part in the back of Belladonna's head that thought that, no, why on Earth would Happycamper rush to her aid; she'd expected him to be asleep by this time, surely having some sweet dream - but he was here. She had no clue why, of all things, did Happycamper become her nightmare - maybe because she was scared, that his kindness was some facade, like her old clan did? that he would learn to loathe her too?

In that moment, her fear overwhelmed her, and she spun around, plushies still swept up in her paws, and she crashed into Happycamper, wanting nothing, in that moment, for someone to just - hold her close. Her face was streaming with tears, her face damp and her breathing catching in little hiccups.

Alarmed, she glanced up as she heard Buggedout; she normally expected something bitter from the child but, for once, he was right. She stifled her tears for a moment, taking in a deep breath as she nodded, her body still shaking from the shock - she hadn't had a nightmare like that in ages. "I-I'm s-s-so-sorry," she stammered, her voice hitching as her body struggled to breathe normally. Her yellow eyes anxiously darted between both Happy and Bug, and she realized that she must have woken them up. Damn, she might have to consider moving further away from the others if her nightmares kept doing this.

"Speech."
