âYou stabbed me!â for ari and hailey lmao
âYouâre overreacting,â Ariana said loudly in an attempt to drown out Haileyâs huffing from the bathroom.Â
Hailey gasped, dramatic and unnecessary, as she stormed out of the bathroom and back into her bedroom to glare at Ariana. âOverreacting? Are you kidding me?â she asked, pointing towards her abdomen where the scar was already mostly healed over. âYou stabbed me!â
âYou scared me,â Ariana retorted with a shrug. Sheâd been sitting on Haileyâs bed for the last half an hour listening to Hailey moaning and complaining as she cleaned up the blood from the wound Ariana had accidentally created.
Ariana felt bad obviously, but it wasnât like she was entirely at fault. Sheâd been on edge all night, waiting for the Dread Doctors to pop up out of thin air, waiting for someone to appear in the dark with bad intentions. Of course she was going to lash out if someone suddenly appeared, which was exactly what Hailey had done.
âWell a scream would have been sufficient. The the stabbing was unnecessary,â Hailey said, frowning as she moved to stand in front of her mirror, examining the scar. âI was just trying to be back-up, God forbid I actually help you for once. Also, how could you mistake me for a Dread Doctor?â
âMaybe if you washed your hair I wouldnât have,â Ariana said, wrinkling her nose in mock-disgust as she tilted her head slightly. When Hailey turned back to throw another glare, she stifled down a snort. âSorry, kidding,â Ariana said quickly. âI panicked, okay?âÂ
âYeah but why?â Hailey asked, crossing the room to slump onto the bed, flopping down to lie down beside Ariana. âYouâre a druid, youâve already got abilities. Again, another reason why the dagger was not necessary,â she added, narrowing her eyes.Â
âMaybe I didnât want to rely on powers I canât even control right now,â Ariana said without fully thinking. As soon as she spoke, she winced, waiting for Haileyâs reaction, waiting for her to dismiss Ariana just like everyone else did these days.
But Hailey had fallen quiet for a moment, frowning as she studied Ariana. Finally Hailey sighed, closing her eyes as she rested her head back on the pillows underneath her. âFine, just next time donât stab me in the abs. Maybe get some mace instead,â she said casually.
This time Ariana did let out a snort, closing her eyes too. âDeal.â
