please dont feel like u have to match me I just got hella carried away but idk how to cut down so I guess u dont even have to read this all if u dont want.... ; _ ;

一,二,三,四! They came one by one from the foliage and shadows, making Huā feel positively sick. The chinese sisters were sorely outnumbered by the foreigners. Bent down with a lowered head like this and surrounded by strangers, she nearly felt like she was back in the south getting sold to men by her cousin. Her stomach did flips and she swallowed the urge to hurl in the face of all these people looking down upon them. 

Aningan was there too. She noticed him make no move to protect her sister in the slightest, only watching on. Of course- he was like every other foreign man. Take and take and no give, and putting himself and the pack above the woman who loved him. Aiyah Ying, he not deserve you!

Mei does not give in. She lights a fire with her words and actions, stepping forward, shouting out against the women. And making the bold bold proposal to leave. Huā can't help but raise her head a little, eyes widened in shock with her sister's actions. That was something she'd expect from fiery Ying- not from the cold and quiet Mei. In some ways she felt distraught. They had just begun to settle into home, making their way through the winter. And now Mei was begging to get them banished completely.

Huā's head whirled, wondering how things had progressed so quickly. And she hadn't even done anything! Not in her eyes, anyway. 

But on the other paw, how could she stay with these people? They were downright cruel. And she still didn't understand what was wrong with Ying's ambitions. She had only tried to rise in the ranks- if anything, she thought, it showed the nuvujak's dedication. And now all three of them were being punished for Ying's actions, or perhaps for speaking a different language amongst themselves, or perhaps having family ties- it was all too confusing.

Huā struggled whether to follow Mei. She knew Ying had already started to root herself here, rising in the ranks and finding herself a handsome young boy. If she left now with Mei, would Ying follow? Or would she betray them for this boy? In an ideal world, Aningan would just come with the trio and leave the pirate bitches to fight and snarl amongst themselves. But she knew it was not that simple. She could only pray that Ying's loyalty lied with the Jiang family and not with these strangers.

And just as she's about to agree with Mei, going to tell them that they could not stay- Erzulie is lunging for Mei. And Rosalyn is saying more, words that sounded like banishment to Huā. That they were not one of them, that they must give their loyalty or leave. Stunned into stillness, unable to intervene with Mei in all of her fear, she stumbles backward. Losing her bow and suddenly tense- but she could no longer help it. Hoping it's the right choice, hoping Ying would follow and Mei would be left alone- 

I follow Mei. You not happy with us, you not like us, I do nothing wrong but still you not like me! You hate me because you hate my sister, and you think we all the same! We not! Yingyue challenge but I not. I never try to get big rank. Her words progress from a pained cry to something of a cold hiss. Don't touch Mei and let us go! She shoots a nervous glance to Ying, and suddenly she's aware once again of how outnumbered they were. Suddenly regretting her words, hoping she would not die here in her home.
