Chapter text
No one's POV:
With sasha*
Sasha brought the blade up to her face but she paused as she saw a bit of her reflection she noticed her eye colours "odd... it seemed hop-pop was imagining things... nothing about my eyes were different except for the slight puffiness and redness, they still are the brown and blue they always been" sasha thought, she then continued what she was doing, she grabbed her hair and dragged the blade of the dagger across her hair cutting it short, sasha sighed as she let go of the hair she held
Sasha stared at the ground seeing her hair around her as the voice in her head still told her what she failed to do, Sasha curled into a ball head between her legs muttering to the voice to shut up, once the voice seemed to quiet down Sasha sat there thinking about what she needs to do for Anne and Marcy once they get back together, if they all get back together the dagger seemed to take Sasha's interest again she poked it with her finger and watched as she let the blood seep out of her finger.
After a few minutes Sasha got up and left the basement for sewing supplies and to talk about the newt that seems to know what is with the gems, when she got to the top of the stairs she saw Sprig sitting on the couch with the handmade brace looking around for something to do "Sprig, I am so sorry about the arm" Sasha apologised, Sprig replied "it could have been worse, you could've had a hidden dagger and actually stabbed me" he turned his focus to Sasha "What did you do to your hair? It's all messy and short" Sprig asked "oh, I cut it with a dagger I had in my boot, I have a bunch, grime wondered how I could walk when he saw how many were hidden my boot. Anyways I cut it, it makes fighting easier as I don't have hair flying in my face and if someone were to grab my hair they would have to be closer which gives me an advantage, anyways you know where the sewing materials are? I need them to resize Anne's clothes" Sasha answered then asked. Sprig pointed to hop-pop's room "it's the only place that hop-pop would leave supplies like that from Polly and myself" Sprig commented, Sasha knocked on the door and heard someone on the inside moving a lot but after a bit of movement and whispers she heard hop-pop tell her she can enter "Hey hop-pop, I need some sewing materials and a needle, you got those?" Sasha asked, hop-pop nodded and walked over to some draws and pulled out some string, a needle and some fabric "here you go Sasha" hop-pop handed the items to the girl "Thanks, I'll take my leave as I obviously interrupted something" Sasha muttered then turned and left the room, she then went to the basement and grabbed some of Anne's clothes she would wear for now and started to cut and sew it to fit her, after some sewing and a lot of pricks in the fingers sasha looked at the clothes and thought "This looks bad but what can i do? i'm stuck here with limited options for now" she then put the clothes on to see if it actually fits which it does, sasha then bandages her fingers and goes back up "Hey sprig, could you explain what's up with the newt that seemed to know about the box?" Sasha asked as she sat on the couch, sprig nods and explains
Meanwhile, in newtopia*
"That does it! I cannot stand idly by while king Andrias ruins the land and hurt the children i have vowed to protect!" Lady Olivia yells as she is alone with General Yunnan "You're dang right, he has gone too far and i will not serve a mad king but what do you suggest we do? and don't yell, who knows what is nearby" Yunnan asks "We need someone clever, someone who knows how to strategize, someone like Marcy Wu" Lady Olivia explained "You mean the human who broke her leg when she first arrived? No way, if you haven't noticed, the humans and Andrias are backstabbers" Yunnan denied "But Marcy was the only person to beat king andrias in flipwart, if anyone can out-think him it's Marcy" Lady Olivia rebutted, "I'm plenty smart!" Yunnan argued as she scratched her nose, her blades sprung out "oop- you see what i did there, hehe... yea we need Marcy" Yunnan says when she dodged her blades "But if we're grabbing Marcy we need to get the other human the king has locked away as well, that girl seems to be useful to the king" Yunnan added, Lady Olivia agreed, "Let's go save the humans" Lady Olivia quietly cheered, they both leave the room and go to the cell room
"Anne, are you awake?" Marcy asked, there was no response for a moment "O-oh you mean me, yeah i'm awake" Anne answered, "odd... Anne doesn't hesitate answering unless something is wrong... but what could be wrong?- oh wait...everything! 1 we are trapped in cells, 2 she had been betrayed by both of her friends in 1 day, 3 she was used by the king for his own benefit, 4 she has no one to be there for her" Marcy thought, she then started to pick the cell lock "just... a little moreeee... there, now to free Anne" Marcy quietly said, behind her an orange eye opened up, Marcy ran towards where she heard Anne's voice "Anne, I can get you out, just hang tight" Marcy yelled "Ok!" Anne yelled back, Marcy ran pass the rows of cells not noticing the orange hue they each have, Marcy soon found Anne's cell and started to pick the locks, she then heard a door open nearby, Marcy panicked and hid in a nearby cell, after a few seconds she hears "Marcy! Where are you? It's Lady Olivia and General Yunnan! We came to help you and Anne" a kind voice called out, Marcy then carefully got out of the cell and called out to Lady Olivia "I'm over here next to Anne's cell!", Marcy then continued to pick the lock of Anne's cell while the 2 lesbian newts came over, Once the lesbian newts arrived Marcy managed to unlock the cell, Anne stood up and cautiously left the cell and hid behind Marcy while keeping her distance, "Is the brown human ok?" Yunnan asked "Yunnan! You don't refer to people like that! Her name is Anne! Master Marcy and I told you that before" Lady Olivia scolded Yunnan.
"Anne, are you ok? You seem out of it" Marcy asked and Anne nodded, Marcy gave Anne that smile that used to make Anne feel butterflies in her stomach but that feeling is missing, Anne got closer and hugged Marcy while resting her head on Marcy's shoulder, Marcy froze for a second "Don't stim, don't stim, don't stim, don't stim" Marcy panicked in her mind, despite her internal begging Marcy's left foot started to quickly tap the floor below them and her hands started to flap, the behaviour didn't go unnoticed, Anne lifted her head confused about what Marcy was doing (Anne's face went from w to :), Lady Olivia stopped scolding Yunnan and looked at the 2 humans, "Is the flapping hands and foot a human thing?" Yunnan asked looking at the girls "Yeah but not everyone does this, it's something called stimming and I happen to be one of the people who does it" Marcy explains while she still stims,
After a while Marcy felt tired and her stimming slowed down till it stopped and then Marcy turned to Anne and fell asleep with her head on Anne's shoulder, Anne was surprised by the actions but she carried Marcy bridle style and asked "where should I put her? A cell is obviously not a good option, specially if her cell is like mine" "Well, her room would've been a good idea if the circumstances aren't like these, I guess we should find somewhere that the king won't think of... somewhere like wartwood" Lady Olivia answered, Anne's expression slightly changed when Lady Olivia mentioned the King and the town that seemed important to her but she can't remember why, but as they went to leave the cell room they were stopped
