I want to learn how to protect myself. [ hasn't she said this before? her voice usually bounces off the walls of the room, merely to return to her as an echo.it doesn't penetrate her father's mind, nor her mother's, her desire to protect every part of herself. mind, soul, heart, body. the only person who hears her is kate. ]
[ it's not surprising. her aunt hears her even in the most crowded of rooms. she looks at her when no one else is willing. everyone is hiding something, but kate never is. she wears it on her face, shoulders it on her back, and still stands tall, regal, even, while her father and mother let the shadows consume them every time she glances their way. ]
[ she's lured kate out to do some archery with the full intentions of wanting to propose her plan of protection. she doesn't want to protect herself from the werewolves. she want to protect herself from family secrets, too. ]
[ lowering the bow, she turns to kate. ] I'm tired of everyone keeping secrets from me.
[Casual, straightforward. Just like she always is. Nothing new there. She's been trying her damndest to get Chris to be honest with his daughter, to let her hear and embrace her family history, to train her so she can become one of them. Retaliation from the wolves isn't unheard of, and they can damn near smell inexperience.
An untrained Argent is only so much meat. A weakness to be exploited. Allison deserves better than that. A lot better.
She nods towards the bow, approving.]
Your form is good. All those archery lessons really paid off. Glad it stuck with you. You're gonna need it, sweetie.
