“are you okay” no, next question

I’ve polished this anger and now it’s a knife.

kcrsi | teach me how to fight. *:･ﾟ✧

                     ‘  pick it up !!  ’       she was being harsh for a reason, even if the girl before her could not see it right now.  kára had lived a cold life and karsi knew of it, knew of the pain the world had shown her and although she could tell the girl knew how to hold her own she had not fought off a crow ———– she had not climbed the wall or sailed to bear island, like karsi’s clan, to murdered southerner’s in their own beds. she did not know how battle those beyond the wall and that was karsi’s self proclaimed job, to show her how to – as best that was within her.

                  ‘  a crow won’t wait for you to pick up your weapon … so never loose it.  ’       karsi had hit her wrist with such power of the blunt side of her single-handed axe, or ice pick to some, the blonde had freed the sword from her grip and the chieftain quickly brought her fur covered fist up to knock the wildling from her feet. a mark it would certainly leave, but karsi would not go easy, she knew kára could take them so knew she had the power to stop them.  it was a few seconds after, giving the blonde a short moment to grab her weapon if she was quick enough, she had brought the axe up again and pushed her feet towards the girl … throwing down another powerful strike. 

BUBBLING WITH FRUSTRATION she  fumbles  like  a  complete  fool, her weapon flying  out  of  her  hands.  Why the hell did she decide that she preferred a SWORD to any other weapon.  She was  so  small  and  they  threw  her balance off completely. But she wanted to be as her mother was------------------------they say that she  stole the sword RIGHT out of the hand of a crow and killed him with it && ever since  then  that  was  the  weapon   she  used.  Kára wanted to be like that. Despite the fact that her sword did not belong to a crow  she still DREAMED.

                    ‘ Y’don’t FIGHT FAIR  ! ‘ she grumbles, knowing very well that FIGHTING was never fair.

Karsi was one of the bravest wildling women she knew; she admired her, and at the opportunity to TRAIN  and  spar with her, she jumped without hesitation. But nobody said that she was going to go easy on her.   A   FRUSTRATED  cry falls from her lips  as  she  tumbles  backwards, trying to get  her  sword   still.   She   wanted   to scream  and  to  CURSE  at  Karsi,  but she knew that if she did, it would only  make  it  worse  for  her.  She was  right,   she  should never drop her weapon---------------that gave the crow the upper hand.  

Although Kára is sore and angry from this sparring session, but she does not let that HINDER her performance;  she uses it to her advantage. SWIFTLY she grabs her sword, though she doesn’t have time to jump to her  feet  yet,  the sword BLOCKS the strike from the axe.

‘ HA ! ’ she cries out triumphantly. Though, it was a little too soon to be triumphant--------she still had to figure out how to stand on her feet.

“ i know this 'urts, bu' y' 'ave t' stay awake.”

BREATH SHALLOW, EYES FLUTTERING SHUT SHE NEVER IMAGINED TO FEEL SO WEAK. Her whole life she had lived in the cold, fierce and strong were no longer just traits she possessed, but they were a part of her personality, part of who she WAS. She never imagined the day where she would ever feel weak, for human she was, but never was she anything but UNSTOPPABLE.

The shape of the red head who stood over her was blurred, her eyes could barely stay open. She was FURIOUS; none of this should have happened.

’ tha’ should ‘ave never ‘appened. ’ she says, her voice so quiet that it was a whisper, a cough following, blood spilling from her mouth, trickling down her chapped lips, down her chin. Her skin so pale her colour resembled snow. ’ ’m so tired.’

A hand held to her stomach, covering a wound that was ANGRY and spewing out blood. They were out, keeping watch, her and Ygritte, when a group of Crows has found them. They caught Kára from behind and took her by surprise; a sword to the gut was enough to stop even the STRONGEST person.

Ygritte had managed to fight them off, and brought her back to the camp. Death was not something that Kára feared; she welcomed it. But at the hand of a CROW——–she couldn’t stand the thought.

A hand raises up to press to Ygritte’s face, her hand trembled, her eyes so heavy, but she manages to look her COMPANION right in the eyes. ’ PLEASE, don’ let me die. No’ like this.’

“you don’t care, nobody cares, just leave.”

“you’re my friend, of course i fucking care.”

“i can’t give up on you, so please don’t give up on yourself.”

“are you… throwing up in there?” 

“why aren’t you eating?” 

“just breathe… you’re okay, i promise, just breathe.” 

“i can’t breathe, i can’t –”

“just tell me something, was it really worth it?” 

“it’s okay to hurt & breakdown. you don’t have to be strong all the time.”

THE WINTER WINDS WISP ANGRILY but  it  does not  phase  her.  She  was  born  on  the  coldest  day  and  was forced to survive on her own. No place to call home, no LORDS or ladys to ensure her safe keeping------------and no KING to ensure her well-being. Some days, she thought about what it would be like to be a kneeler, what it would be like to live in the REALM, but every time she though about it, she always changed her mind. Being FREE  was  what made her so tough and what made her able to ENDURE.

Kára is out on WATCH. Her duty is to be the first to know if any CROW was coming to raid their  camp,  and  be  the first to WARN the other Free Folk. She was good at it. Her fair skin and soft coloured hair allowed her to hide herself well in the snowy tundra, her eyesight was IMPECCABLE, and her thirst for the blood of the crows  was  unlike  that of any other per’son’s. She was the best for the job. 

In the DISTANCE she spots someone trudging through the deep  snow.  Their  heads  lowered,  trying  to  avoid  the snow from flying in their face. Kára has the HORN she would use to blow to warn the others of CROWS held  in  her grasp, but she does not use it. There was something about the way  the  person  was  WALKING  that  they  did  not seem like a crow. The shape of them was far too-------------small. Unless it was just a young BOY. &&  there  did  not seem to be anyone else with them. Unless it was a trap, Kára did NOT think it was a crow.

Nevertheless, being the daring girl she was, she sneaks up behind the person, and draws her bow.  She  clears  her throat. When the person turns to face her, she LIT up. It wasn’t a crow, it was a woman! Still, she does not let her guard down, and pulls her bow back to point at her head.

                    ‘ Jus’ what exactly d’ya think yer doin’ out here? ’ she hisses, a laugh following her words.
