“Bullet-“ you had ran away before she could finish. You ran into the library. Hoping no one was there.
You sat on your bed. You shared a room with Snowshade. But she still wasn’t there.
“The stupid spider can’t hear us!” She swatted it off you and stomped on it.
“If you can find a way to understand her, then fine. You have tomorrow. I’m going to sleep now.”
"You're not ugly. But that bug is!"
"Ya, but she's mute. We can't even understand her." You realized his eyes were slightly misty. As if he wasn't himself...
"Oh... I'm so sorry." She stopped and grabbed his wrist again. "I can help. If you want. I'm a really skilled animus."
(I know there's a lot of animus', but I have a plan.)
"Friend? You can't be friends with a disgusting spider!"
"Well, Buttercup said she'll come with. Ready to go?"
"Yep." She whispered. You heard the talons fade away.
Snail nudged you.
”You okay?”
“What are you doing Bullet!? Kill it!”
You could hear talons walking past the cave.
”Come on out Ash. It’s your mother. I won’t hurt you... too badly.”
