Username -- Firedancer77
Name -- Asgre (meaning "heart")
Gender -- Female
Prompt extras -- "I just wanted your heart." Asgre whispered the words, tears running down her cheeks as she said them. "Please, you don't understand. I need it."
The children stared at her in horror before one,
Alkina, took a step forward. She'd always appeared to be the leader of the small band of children. Asgre appreciated that. "We are going home now. Let us go."
"No, please, you as children can't comprehend what I am saying." Her words sounded more and more increasingly desperate as she continued to speaks. "I don't need all of your hearts. Just one. Please, I need it."
"I knew we shouldn't have come with her."
Ushasti scowled as he took a step forward, shaking his head. "I told
you not to trust her. We need to go home."
Him, on the other hand? Asgre would be okay with taking
his heart. He deserved to live a cursed life, whereas Asgre did not. "Please. I could take his."
"No!"
Glimmer cried, shaking her head. "You can't take his heart!"
Alkina nodded. "She's right. You aren't allowed to have his. Or anyone's, for that matter."
"Please, don't do this to me. I
need one of your hearts." What was Asgre supposed to do? She had to have one.
Jack followed Ushasti over to his spot by the door. "Leave us alone. Let us go."
"I thought you trusted me." Asgre's voice shook, close to breaking, as she stared at them. "I worked so hard to become your friends. Please don't do this to me."
"You became our friend just so you could take one of our hearts?" Glimmer actually sounded as if she was about to cry.
"What?" No!" Perhaps it was a lie, but Asgre refused to say it. She had to fix it, so she could have one of their hearts. "You
must give me permission for one of your hearts."
Alkina's eyes narrowed in thought. "You need permission?"
And it was at that moment that Asgre realized her mistake. "No, no, I don't need permission. But I would like to have it. Please. Don't make me take one without permission."
Ushasti glared. "Prove it. Take one of our hearts without our permission, because none of us are allowing you to have our hearts."
"Please, just give me one of your hearts! I need one so that I can leave." Asgre stepped forward, but Alkina and Glimmer moved to stand with Ushasti and Jack. "If you don't give me one, I will be cursed."
Jack shook his head. "Come on, guys. She can't take them. Let's go."
"No! Don't leave!" Asgre sobbed the words as the children began to rush out.
She sunk to the floor in defeat once they were gone. She'd needed a heart so that she could leave. Except now, they were not allowing her. It would've broken her heart, if she had one of her own. If only it hadn't been taken from her. She would never be able to leave this town, and she would never be able to find a family that could love her, if she couldn't get herself a heart...
