“And remember, you are in no position to nitpick the tasks I am giving you.”
Nashira reminded the chihuahua, eyeing her sternly. The chihuahua’s complaints in the first place were what just led to her current predicament. Rosalina didn’t respond. She was too busy trying to cope with the pain that came with a knife being thrusted into her paw. Nashira continued, “besides this could get YOU a lot of money also!” Nashira grinned hoping her statement would give Rosalina a little more incentive.Rosalina winced in pain then looked up at the husky growling, “I don’t care about money like you do..I care about those dogs! Imagine the torment they must be going through and we would be contributing if we did this! Doesn’t that bother you at all?” Nashira’s smile didn’t break, she didn’t even blink. “Should I?” the husky asked. Rosalina stared at Nashira idly. She tried to think of what to say but she was at a loss for words.She’d never been face to face with a psychopath before.She had to admit, Nashira’s sociopathy scared the living hell out of her.Rosalina simply barked
“You are insane.”
Nashira’s face became a little less enthusiastic and she looked more annoyed then anything. Rosalina perked her ears as Nashira began to speak.
“I keep hearing this. Every time I hear it, it just seems to annoy me more..But, it’s also kind of funny!” Nashira’s face shifted quickly from annoyance to blankness to happiness. She raised a paw to her chin and continued “As a puppy, I always heard my mother screaming at my father that “he was insane,” followed by loud thuds and sobbing. So, I originally thought that if someone was insane they didn’t know what they were doing. They weren’t fully aware of their actions but if I’m insane, REALLY truly insane, then I was wrong because I know what I’m doing.I know all too well..” Rosalina heard the amusement in Nashira’s tone intensify. Nashira abruptly turned to the chihuahua and smiled adding onto what she was saying “And with that, I’ve realized..Insanity is more sane then any type of sanity could ever be.”.Rosalina yelped as Nashira ripped the blade out of her paw. Rosalina fell backwards and clutched her paw tightly “Ouch!!” Rosalina squirmed in pain.
Nashira snickered at Rosalina’s agony and walked away to retrieve some bandages. Nashira came back and grabbed Rosalina’s paw carelessly, to which Rosalina gasped inwardly and pleaded “not so roughly!” Rosalina’s face was a mixture of anger,fear and pain. Nashira rolled her eyes and quickly wrapped up her paw, sitting her upright. Rosalina stared at her covered paw,still looking to be in pain.Nashira narrowed her eyes “Staring at it isn’t going to help.Now come on.”.Nashira began to walk toward the door.Rosalina followed, it’s not like she had any choice in the matter.Rosalina yelped again as she applied pressure to her wounded paw “DAMMIT!” She swore and looked to the husky ahead of her “Don’t you have any numbing medicine?”.Nashira replied “You don’t need it.”
“It REALLY hurts though!” Rosalina did her best to make a pitiful expression, hoping to get some sympathy from Nashira.
She didn’t, of course. “My heart bleeds for you.” Nashira said, flatly.
Rosalina sighed and grudgingly limped after Nashira.Though Nashira wasn’t showing it in her facial expression, Rosalina knew EXACTLY why Nashira didn’t numb her wound.She sighed.If it wasn’t Nashira’s sociopathy that was scaring her, it was Nashira’s sadism that was pissing her off.

A Small highlight of writing.A scene between Rosalina and Nashira.This scene was in the beginning of when Rosalina started working for The Young Bloods.Rosalina hadn’t known how truly unstable Nashira was.When Rosalina tried to refuse a particular job, Nashira stabbed her in the paw and went off in explaining what exactly would happen in the job and why she shouldn’t be so quick to say no..Also why she couldn’t say no in general.I simply included a highlight of the scene.Nashira tries to make Rosalina more eager to do the job when she explains that she’ll get money too.Rosalina tries to see if Nashira feels any type of remorse when stating that dogs are suffering.She doesn’t find it.Rosalina comments Nashira is insane and the scene above plays out.
The quotes in the picture itself are from “Alice in Wonderland”.I thought the dialogue between Alice and the Cheshire Cat fit Nashira and Rosalina slightly.
[pullquote align=”left|center|right” textalign=”left|center|right” width=”30%”]This is Nurse Allison, a nurse in “Wasteworth Insane Asylum” who is one of the nurses responsible for giving the patients their pills. These pills keep them moderately calm and tone down their vicious behaviors. She is a very minor character. I drew her in my first picture that I uploaded to Facebook though and I wanted to draw her again. ©[/pullquote]
