“Bug girl,” I corrected.
Taylor, no!
“Don’t really care. Bitch, the test is an old one, but it’s good.
Okay, so she doesn’t care (another potential downfall), but still, that was a mistake on Taylor’s part. It might not have helped that much if Taylor didn’t get super creative with it, but I do think they’d be better off if Burnscar didn’t know what Taylor’s deal was until it came buzzing down on her.
We don’t get to do it often enough, because it requires research. Got to do it with Cherish because she gave us the necessary info. Wasn’t very bright, but she did.
You’ve got my interest.
(We didn’t get to hear about Burnscar’s test for Cherish in 12.4, did we?)
Now that she’s on the team, she can give us all the info we need.”
Ah, yeah, I suppose that makes sense. Might not last much longer, though.
“You talk too much,” Bitch snarled. “Get to the point or go the fuck away.”
The latter would, of course, be preferable.
“You’re going to have to face your greatest fear. Destroy any hold it has on you with violence, blood and death. I don’t want you to just conquer your fears.
I want you to murder them, before anyone else can use your feelings for them against you.”
Ahh, I see. That really is an oldie but a goodie.
And Cherish really is perfect for digging up information about someone’s deepest fears.
But what’s Bitch’s greatest fear? Being on her own, without her dogs? Something to do with her “families”?
She put a special inflection on the word ‘murder’, making it clear she was being quite literal.
Hmm. Maybe she’s somehow gotten a living representation of the fear that she wants Bitch to quite literally kill. Or perhaps murdering the fear would entail making it so it can’t come true, in whatever way necessary? Sounds like a difficult task for anyone who’s deeply afraid of spiders or something.
