Anita didn’t back away from the bars, but her disdainful gaze dropped from the face of her guard to the proffered candy as she approached. She had one blue eye and one green eye, both colors looked bright and almost out of place with her dark complexion, hued red. “Sugar gives you a burst of energy but makes you crash hard,” she advised, with too much sass to her tone. She sounded like she was quoting someone. “Plus, it dehydrates you.”
Finally, she backed away from the bars when the redhead’s hand snaked through the bars. Still waving the treat that was melting between her fingers, and the overbearing heat of the desert. She retreated back to a shadier part of her cell, boots scuffing the cracked concrete and kicking up dust. She dropped to the floor and observed her guard coolly through the bars. Anita didn’t know why she had decided to be a shithead when she was starving and the other woman was being rather kind to her.
It actually annoyed her more that the redhead was kind. Made figuring out why she had been taken even tougher.
“You don’t need my name,” Anita told her. “What difference does it make to you anyway?” She pulled one of her knees closer to the her chest, and propped her chin up on it. The other leg stuck straight out. “Are you guys gonna kill me or what? I’m not really cut out for the prisoner life. Kind of boring, and being in a cage makes me kind of...catty.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
