Dragoncrest Cliffs koute

mireille's outburst startled the girl a little, drawing a wary side-eye with an expression that spoke to coraline's poor impression of her sister's stability. the pebble edged away from the ticking time bomb that had shared a womb with her, even as her sister lowered herself with a whine toward the tiny foreign creature. belatedly it occurred to coraline that perhaps the whine signalled some sort of change, and her gaze drifted back to the bug, now unfurling in a swarm of legs that set her heart racing and her stomach clenching sickly. she started to step back, then froze as the tiny thing flipped itself to show a gleaming ribbed topside and made for her delicate toes. a shriek tore itself from her throat even before she knew her own horror, and she scrambled back in a panicked tangle of limbs, fearblind to whether such an action would drag mireille down with her.

sorry for the wait!
