Chapter Text
Asteria sneaks out of Melrose’s room, going back to her queenly duties. Despite being oh so tired, she musters up the energy to continue doing paperwork. After all, it is needed to ensure the safety of her loved ones, her family The Hive. Hours pass, and the clock strikes 12, yet the bee is still awake(She… genuinely doesn’t know how she’s still awake. Caffeine is banned from The Hive afterall, because of the…. ahem-Coffee Incident. Damn you Vanx…). Eventually, she falls asleep.
(Weirdly enough, she dreams of….. falling? Her body doesn't feel right…. wait. WHERE THE FUCK IS HER BOTTOM ARMS. OH ARISTAEUS. ITS NOT THE TIMEITSNOTHETIMEITSNOTTHE- )
Thunk.
A body lands on the ground.
Blood pools around her head.
(Elswhere, the Spectre detects someone who isn’t supposed to be here.)
