NightTide: The Girl With Red Eyes

She didn’t trust me, I don’t blame her. I wanted to know what happened before I that room. “So, how did they catch you?” She went quiet and look down. I guess she didn’t want to say. “Ok then, how about telling me why you attacked me?” She still didn’t say anything. I guess this would be why they had her that room. So, they wanted to know how they can see that wolf thing, I’m not sure how to ask that question I could see it just fine. “I guess you don’t want to talk… Aren’t you rude, try to kill me and when confronted won’t say a word.”

She glared at me. “Piss off then, I already told them they won’t be able to see them. It doesn’t matter how much you guys torture me it won’t change that.”

I sighed. “That might be the reason I’m in here with you, though that isn’t what I want to talk about. I’m not sure why they couldn’t see that thing either, I saw it just fine.”

She stared at me for a second. “Of course, you could you had those fucking goggles on.” Goggles?

I was confused now. “Goggles, wait are you talking about those night vision things, I didn’t have them on?”

She was starting to get irritated. “You expect me to believe that? There’s no way you were able to see them.”

Just then a speaker in the room came on. “Good job Red, you got the answers we needed. We no longer have a use for her so that’s up to you.” It sounded like the Pathfinder… So, he was listening in on it.

She suddenly looked angry. “You tricked me! You little shit you’ve ruined things twice now!” She tried attacking me but I was able to push her back onto the bed pretty easily.

He said I have to choose what to do with her? “I’m not sure what’s going on myself and you’re obviously not in a condition to try and fight. Aren’t you stronger than me?

She looked irritated again. “Yes, I am stronger then you now let me out before I kick your ass again!”

As hard as she was trying I didn’t find her intimidating this time around. Maybe I could keep her talking. “So those goggles let people see them, right? Then that’s answered and I don’t think they’re going to hurt you like that again. At least I hope not, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop them again.”

She looked at me, she was giving me a glare like usual though. “You kept them from killing me?”

I shook my head. “I don’t think they were going to kill you, I think they wanted to hurt you as much as possible to get you to talk.”

She looked more irritated then angry now. “You work with them and you don’t even know their motives, seriously how useless can someone be?!”

She sure liked to insult me. “Jeez you really can’t be nice, can you? You talked so proper the first time we saw each other, granted really hoity-toity but proper at least.”

She made pffft noise. “Right, you seriously expect me to be nice to you. I tried to kill you and then you’re friends nearly beat me to death... You seem to have a knack for being charmingly irritating.”

I’m not sure how I felt about that. “Don’t worry you have the same aura about you as well. You really got angry then when I killed the wolf huh, did you ever think the fall would have killed it anyways?”

She seemed angry again. “Fuck you. I know the fall would have killed him, if you hadn’t shot him that situation wouldn’t have gone down!”

I wondered what I should say about that. “If I hadn’t shot it your wolf it would have attacked my friends.”

She laid down. “Would have been better if it had, then they wouldn’t have beaten me like this!”

I decided to be a little snarky, I don’t know why. “They wouldn’t have had to beat you if you and your pet didn’t attack us.” She went silent, I can understand her attitude now. She seems angry. “There isn’t anything we can do about that now. I don’t think they’re going to let you go, but you might be able to work with us.”

She sat up again, she looked irritated again as well. “Now why would I do that? I have no incentive to help any of you… Unless you’re threatening me!”

I don’t know how she got that idea “Threatening? That wasn’t the intent.”

I leaned back stretched my arms and yawned. At least I was until she suddenly grabbed me. She was freaking out for some reason. “What the hell! Why are your teeth like that!?”

She startled me and I ended up throwing her off. She landed on the bed at least. “What are you talking about?”

She was on the bed leaning forward. “Why are you helping them!? That must be why you could see it!”

I was confused. “What? I have no idea what you’re talking about right now? Either way, why are you amped suddenly, you seemed depressed?”

Her face scrunching, I think she was getting incredibly angry. “DON’T YOU WHAT ME! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HELPING THEM!?” She flailed her arm a bit and smacked the side of the bed. She curled up and was holding her hand, I don’t think the little splints helped much there.

I felt a little worried I imagine that hurt. I walked closer to the bed and put my hand on her shoulder. “Calm down, you don’t want to hurt you hand any more than it already is… I don’t know why you’re suddenly freaking out. Now I don’t have anything to do so if you want to know why I’m here I’ll tell you but you need to calm down.”

She was sobbing quietly. I think that hurt more than she’s trying to let on. “don’t touch me you fucking traitor!” She sounded so meek. I patted her head, I enjoyed the feeling so maybe it would calm her down.
