Aro's mind was broken. She ducked under cover when the griffin swooped down to grab Sunny, but she couldn't do anything else. She sat, head buried in her knees. The trauma was too much. They would never get Sunny back from that thing. 

No. 
It had been years, and she still held her fear of the creatures, but she had to do something. It had been so long, and even at the mention of the things, Aro broke. She couldn't help but remember what had happened, what she had done. She didn't want to lose someone else to the things, especially not someone as whole-hearted as Sunny. 

At least, those were her thoughts. She held tight, hiding behind a rock. Aro had to be brave, but she couldn't. Her mind was in debate. She was weak and flawed, but she couldn't let Sunny die. But what had Sunny done for her that she wouldn't have done for herself? Sunny had shown her kindness, isn't that reason enough? 

Eventually, Aro's fear subsided. It had been at least a decade before her family died and she didn't want to be weak anymore. She stood, less fear in her eyes. 

"We have to get Sunny back." Aro didn't see where the Griffin went, but since the cave was only one way she couldn't lose it. She looked towards Laphicet and nodded to him. "We're going to get her back."
