(closed) it's a baby fight

WHO: The Geteilt Sisters
WHERE: Deep, deep in the corn maze, closest to the orphanage in location
WHEN: ~ the 20th
WHAT: One of Rose's new powers is tested in the worst possible way.
WARNINGS: This will probably get gory.

Everybody just lets things go. Who cares what happened a few years ago, right? Who cares what happened a few months ago? This family is obsessed with forgive-and-forget.

Except her. And even she--even she had started the month opening her arms wide to Rose, coddling Clover, as if they never did anything wrong, as if things should have just gone on like normal, always.

Maybe if Jasmine was thinking logically, she'd realize that her brain has dipped into territory that doesn't make sense at all. If anything, their greatest weakness as a family is that they never do let go of much, just pick at scabs and dig deeper holes.

The "ghost" has seized her fiercely, in body and mind. Her skin is paper-bright and translucent, plantlike veins pulsing their bloody good beneath. She is even less herself then she was when Eren found her in the forest, when she guiltily forced her infection on him. But, really, this is where they all belong; really, their time there set in motion everything that ever occurred throughout their lives. Jasmine knows she sounded wrong when she called Rose and Clover on the phone, and she knows that the wrongness is more likely to have them running. Dry corn stalks scraping her skin, she waits in the maze, gaze occasionally drifting back towards the side of town where they should have stayed. Yes, a place can be haunted, but so can a family. So can they.
