The TENSITY of such moments with her brother always left Mabelās mind to wonder many times; were they always this way? Always so distant, out of touch? Whatever the answer might be, itās irrelevant to her now - and a thought process commonly lost to her schemes of wanton destruction. She had long grown tired of this dimension, its ways and its people, though perhaps that was just her murderous apathy speaking. She was forever an outcast, but she would be the one to cast others out, and her brother was unfortunately no exception.
The silence between them is heavy and empty, though with Mabel it is full of contemplation, the cogs in her brain turning as she mulls over their situation. Their future. Or rather, HERS.
ā Weāre so much bigger than this stupid hick town, ā the muttering came suddenly, though the personal pronoun she used was a very interesting choice. The irritation in her expression is surely dulled, but sheās reached a point of not caring - BESIDES, ALL THIS PENT UP FRUSTRATION LURKED BENEATH THE CYNIC. She stands in the rain, looking across the horizon. Fists tense at her sides, and she looks skyward. ā Weāre so much bigger than everyone. ā
Itās strange for her to be so open about her feelings, much more in front of an AUDIENCE. But perhaps thatās because there was no one to be honest with - AND WAS SHE STILL BEING HONEST? TRULY?
ā ... but why is that so difficult to bring to fruition? ā
