[scritch, scratch.

in this dark room full of dust and ancient cobwebs there's a faint scratching sound coming from somewhere in the back. those courageous enough to investigate will find a coffin, with heavy iron bands held in place with padlocks keeping it sealed shut. there's no sign of anything alive in the room, yet the scratching sound continues.]

[exploration seems to be what she does best lately, and the soft scratching has her thinking that maybe an animal is trapped in this room somewhere. so she makes her way in somewhat nervously, gasping softly when she sees the padlocked coffin.]

Hello?

[oh my god, is someone trapped in there? she starts looking around frantically for something to help with.]

H-Hold on, I need to find something to open the locks!

I'll be right back!

[she's running off to get something, and after some searching comes back with a metal bat, which she promptly swings at one of the locks as hard as she can.]

[she takes a moment to grin in success before slamming the bat on the next lock.]

Just a little longer!

[and that would be the third lock she just smashed. how are the bands removed, and how heavy are they?]

[...this could take a little bit. she is, after all, only a fourteen year old girl. but she's trying her best!]

[yeah well, she hasn't even thought about the fact that this could be dangerous, since she hasn't run into anything bad yet, really. by the time she's almost done, her fingers are probably bruised, and maybe even a little bloody, but she doesn't really care.]

Almost...

[and that would be the last of the bands creaking out of the way and she brings her fingers to her chest, biting her lip. ow ow owww ;;]

[she barely even has time to scream before the pain hits her neck and tears spring to her eyes.]

Wh-wh--

[that gets the tears sliding down her cheeks as she sobs softly, not at all used to pain this bad. but she's not going to give up that easily and pushes at him, even though her arms are sore and tired from freeing him in the first place.]

[she stops struggling eventually, crying silently and waiting for it to be over. at least she's learned not to wander into dangerous places on her own!]

[she flinches a little at the sound of his voice, eyes squeezed shut. she'd be trying to flee now if she didn't feel so weak and sore.]

[identity profile] shellcharms.livejournal.com 2010-01-13 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
[well excuse her if she panics a little; she's thinking that she might be getting taken away to snack on later.]

L-Let go of me, I'll scream and someone will come--
