The terrified look on Hailey’s face was there still since she couldn’t help but hope to feel safe with that evil thing being her Noble Arm. However, what jolted her from her thoughts was the reason of someone shaking the bench, like they couldn’t stand. It caused her to do two things. The first one felt like her heart skipped a beat as it had done. However, the second thing was to calm down and smile when she saw Henry by looking at him. She was grateful when he did put his jacket on her, trying to comfort her. It helped somewhat, but her pale white ghost look was still there since the terrifying thing that happened was indeed terrifying. She felt his arm pull her in and couldn’t help but shakily be afraid of what happened in her mind space and what happened earlier before Henry came to her aid. It took her a bit before she spoke up since she was utterly afraid and couldn’t really figure out what she wanted. [color=B7A74A]”...I’m scared H-Henry… it… it… activated… in a different way from its usual way. T-The Scythe…”[/color] She spoke with a definite fear in her voice. Obviously, she was afraid of her noble arm, but she completely stopped speaking about the Scythe in question since she doesn’t want to say its name. 

Hailey looked towards Oscar and Nathaniel, which did stop their spar for her safety. She smiled gently towards them, but it didn’t help that her face was still pale as can be. This entire ordeal shook her to her core, but she couldn’t blame them for what they didn’t foresee. Not everyone could foresee an evil Noble Arm, with the ability to cause a girl to utterly shutter just at the sight of black fog. [color=B7A74A]” T-Thank you… Oscar and Nathaniel. I-I don’t blame you for what happened… please don’t cry… Nath.”[/color] She spoke loudly enough to get through to Oscar and Nathaniel. It was mostly because she did notice Nathaniel got down and covered his eyes. Since Hailey had a feeling, he would be crying probably.

However, a strange and oddity thing occurred; it was that Hailey’s Dread completely vanished yet again. It was like a declaration of what the scythe wanted her to do. In the case, she tried to close her eyes and sensed the evil around her in her mind space, but it had a slight difference. There was laughter, but it was faded, and all that left was the Scythe’s word. [I][color=DC143C]” How sweet… your delicate fear is always what I wanted from you, Hailey Leena Strassen. However, I have always watched and waited. I am watching your actions through your eyes, your mind, your feelings, and every notion that makes you, you. My Sweet Marionette, may we soon dance the sweet dance of death. However, you may have your peace for now. The Dread, which I control won’t return for until I deem it so. Therefore you can feel like yourself as you were before I chose you. I hope you give me a [b]good[/b] show since you’ll need it.”[/color][/i] The voice echoed evilly as it did within her mind space. Hailey’s eyes were crying in the mind space, and when she came to open her eyes, she was crying even more. It felt like nothing could be worse than what’s going on with her. Her tears were wholesome and sweet, but the one primary thing that scared her is that probably one of her ancestors [i]used[/i] to wield the Scythe. [color=B7A74A]”...I’m afraid… T-The Scythe… spoke to me… in m-my mind space a-again… It c-called me… M-My Sweet Marionette… W-What does that mean?”[/color] She questioned with a feeling of sadness, confusion, and unable to grasp what the Scythe means fully. It did make her better, which that the Scythe deactivated the dread, so she could feel a bit better, like before she gained it as a Noble Arm. However, the Scythe could always reactivate it, to make her feel more normal with the dread than without. She didn’t really know what to think. Her thoughts were plagued by not wanting to close her eyes again to see that terrifying big-eyed pyramid or hear its words again.
