GONNA SHORT-CIRCUIT MY IDENTITY [ trespasser ]

[Amaranth]

[align=center][div style="width: 450px;; text-align: justify"][size=8pt]Amaranth barely had time to close her eyes before Beck's paws pressed squarely against her mouth, and she felt the wind be pulled from her maw in a gasp. Feeling her back, and her small, delicate wings become pressed painfully against the bark, she yelped from the pain, wincing as she did.

Hearing his threat, her eyes shot wide - but she wasn't stupid. She barely had the energy to scream, even less fight back, so she slumped into his weight. As Beck spat at her, her sadness overwhelmed her, and her eyes started to fill with tears. "N-n-nobody sent me!" she stammered, her voice muffled as she felt her whole body tremor as he pushed into her. The voice in her head was deathly silent, seemingly letting it happen - she needed his powers right now, why wouldn't he help her? "T-they... he, he didn't care about me-" her voice was cut off with a hiccup, "He doesn't need me a-anymore..." her voice was hollow, defeated, and the tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

Somewhere beside them, a little shadow dropped out of Amaranth's trolley, before scuttling across the ground - her pet Hermit Crab, Khepri, rapidly scuttled up, and in a show of defiance, aimed to take a sharp pinch at Beck's feet, before moving to scuttle to Amaranth's side before Beck could possibly step on the hermit crab.
