Bloodied, broken teeth sink into her neck, and pain rips through her like a jagged knife. She can feel the hot slide of blood down her throat, feel the fluttering of her pulse pounding desperate, the trapped bird of her heart pulsing in a feathered frenzy against the prison of her ribcage.

She wakes up screaming.

By the time she realizes that the awful sound is actually her, she's nearly out of breath. Aware of Leliel beside her, she tries to quiet herself, but the sobs that shake her can't be quelled as easily as she wishes. Wings come forth to hide her crown, tucking below them, hugging herself because she has learned that nobody else will. Tears are hot on her cheeks as she remains stuck in that awful nightmare, brushing her own feathers against the liquid on her cheeks, imagining it was someone else wiping them away so tenderly, so lovingly. It wasn't to be, but it comforted her nonetheless.

Only when the panic dissolves the white noise in her ears does she hear the echoing of her own sobbing, realizes how annoying she must sound. That's a word she's heard a million times. You're so annoying, Muriel. Don't be such an annoyance, Muriel. It quiets her faster than anything ever could compete with, shame welling inside her like a balloon with an infinite amount of air on the other end. She shuffles a little farther away from Leliel, praying she hadn't woken him up, because Gods knows he would be infinitely annoyed if she had done such a thing to him. He deserved all the sleep and care she could manage, and she'd messed it up, even when she was the one who wanted it.

Quietly she murmurs to him, if he is so inclined to listen to her anymore- she likely annoyed him with her horrible sobbing after all. "S-Sorry," she whispered, clearing her throat softly.
