kate was ushered back into the lobby of the jailhouse, but of course, that was only met by the guidance of the sheriff who thought he could be some knight in shining armor to her. now, darlin'. maybe this is for the best. you don't need to get mixed up with trouble. a shudder ran down her spine when the man brushed her hair from her shoulder, and it took everything in her not to whip out the revolver kept on the inside of her jacket and tell him who was really in charge here. but she needed to get out. she needed to meet up with mcdoon, who she could only hope was finding his way out.
she thanked him and promised him she'd remember that before she slipped out of the jailhouse, her face falling into a disgusting grimace as her body gave a full shudder. she was grumbling unpleasantries under her breath as she rounded the corner, finding mcdoon already atop her mare, beauty, and waiting on her.
" those long legs might get a little cramped in my stirrups, " she teased with a twist of her lips, giving an upward nod of her chin. " scoot y'self back. neither beauty nor i like a man tellin' us what to do -- "
Getting caught for things that were petty were not his favorite ways of passing the time, but it happened. It also didn't take long in the jail cell for someone to connect the dots on who he is. What he is. He wasn't in this particular jailhouse for more than a couple hours before the sheriff was crooning something about checking his bounties, saying he was sure McDoon's features resembled one he saw. It had only made the bandit scoff and tell him good luck, that he'd have a hell of a time shuffling through those. But McDoon knew it was only a matter of time and despite the idiot sheriff? The jailhouse was stiff as concrete and the iron bars secured. He wasn't getting out with sheer force or bars being tugged off the wall-- now that was a fun getaway.
When Kate rolled into the place, McDoon dragged himself off the cot at the sound of her hysterics. He made his way to the bars just as she was walking up to them, a slow smirk pulling to his lips at the sight of her. He wanted to say something that could get them both in trouble, but he bites it back when she grabs him by the back of his neck. She drags him closer and their lips meet, hungry kiss working its way between them. He has to fight the chuckle that wants to escape into it when he feels the press of the key. He accepts it with her tongue, almost wanting to savor the sweet victory. But as quick as it happens it's over.
She slips away and he watches her go, head giving a tilt as he murmurs a low, "I'll be waitin'." He tips his hat then waits, watching as they step out of sight. He listens for the door to open, continued conversation indicating where they were. He used that moment to get the key from his mouth, ignoring the sudden comments coming from across the way about his woman. Instead he focuses on bringing the key out and around to press into the door, turning it and the lock. It clicks open and he chuckles, eyes flicking over to the two men in the cell. He brings his free hand up and presses a finger to his lips, hushing them from saying anything further. The moment he pushes the door open he's tossing the key in their direction, letting it clatter against the floor in the cell. The two men instantly diving for it.
"Don't get caught leavin', boys," he mutters before hurrying to the back of the jailhouse, instantly opening the door with quiet intent then slipping out it. The moment his boots hit dirt he darts away from the building, rushing through the alley and around the side of the building where Kate's horse was hitched. He slowed his pace and quietly hushed a noise towards the horse, alert her to his presence. She huffed, but didn't flinch when he reached out to undo the reins around the hitching post. He got them over the mare's head then worked to get himself in her saddle knowing the second Kate rounded that corner they'd be on limited time.

in their bandit lifestyles, neither of the three in their party were strangers to a temporary lock up. if anything, it was just hiccup in their plan. a momentary speed bump. kate knew that all of these jailhouses were the same, protected by the same drunks that her own sheriff had been. weak men that she could bat her eyelashes and show up off a little cleavage to get them to do whatever they wanted. and if that didn't work? she'd bring out the lead.
this particular sheriff was a dunce. she had told him that she was here to see her lover one last time before the gallows or the state, which they soon did choose. she had brought on the waterworks, and as he lifted a hand to the shoulder of the weeping woman, she had subtly reached to his belt loop to unhook the key. as her hand came up to cover her mouth, in slipped the little piece of metal that would secure mcdoon's freedom. she sniffed a breath as he led her through the doors to the cells, bidding her to make it quick. she played up the sad girlfriend role as she walked up to the bars, lifting a hand to wrap around the back of @mcswoon's neck to meet him for a long, passionate kiss. her tongue pushed through his lips, pushing the metal key from her mouth into his and underneath his tongue before she stepped back.
" i'll see you on the other side, darlin', " she whimpered before she 'fell apart' all over again, a little knowing spark in her eye as she stepped away from the cell with the sheriff.
[ VISITOR ] — McDoon, while locked in the jail, is visited by Kate

it had been five weeks since sam's death, and the grief was something that was a day - by - day process for kate. some days were easier than others, and those other days? they were crippling. days where she didn't want to get out of her cot because what was the point? the world was a cruel and hateful, and everything hurt. her heart . . . her body from sleeping on a glorified blanket on the hard ground at camp sites . . . her mind was she tried to process how cruel and hateful the world had come now that her bubble had burst.
one morning, she had woken up to find the cold chill had her body aching from the hard surface they had chosen for the night. she was up long before her captors mcdoon and cletus. they had some sort of plan brewing, something they would only give her cryptic responses to, but she knew they'd whisper. something about the weekend coming up. something about going back to green lake.
she had put on a pot of coffee grounds to steep over the campfire she had lit when she noticed the breeze flick at some papers mcdoon had left behind when he went into his tent for the night. curiosity got the best of her as she reached out to grab the folded paper, and she instantly recognized the messy scrawl. she had been trying to decipher this handwriting at her adult night classes before everything fell apart.
coast is clear. you can hand me over barlow and receive your remaining half on sunday.
trout walker
something started to boil inside of kate as she stared down at the letter. the past five weeks . . . the kidnapping, the slowly getting to know mcdoon and cletus . . . it had all been a set up. she was a product to buy by trout walker. she was going to belong to him come sunday.
she belonged to no one.
she snarled when she heard the tent flap open and threw the letter angrily at @mcswoon's chest when he appeared, slipping around him to stomp over to his tent, where she started to rummage around. when he started to question her, she whipped around, pointing his revolved at him and thumb knocking back the hammer. her eyes were cold as they glared daggers through him, glistening silver around the edges.
❛ what , you’re gonna shoot me ? ❜
her hand trembled where she kept the gun pointed at him, mouth set into a tight line. " death would be kinder than what i wanna do to you right now, " she growled. " you were hired by trout?! you're gonna sell me off to him?! "

🍒 @femraged
@femraged where do i start with my love for kori ? i am in constant awe of the way she pours out love so endlessly. not just for her friends, but for her occupation, and everyone around her. she has one of the biggest hearts and it's such a beautiful thing ! she is a constant beam of sunshine in my life and i am ever so grateful to have her as a best friend. since day one she has been nothing but kind. she's been there for me in some of the toughest moments of my life and i can say with all certainty , if it wasn't for the friendship and kindness i don't know where i would be without her.
kori is an angel and we are all so lucky to have her. i know that things haven't been easy for her lately, but she's making it through with such grace and that takes so much strength and perseverance. i hope she knows daily how appreciated she is for being such a beautiful soul. she is one of the most amazing individuals not just on this hell site , but in this universe ! and i am so lucky to be able to call her a bestie. i love her so , so much and hope that she is having the most amazing night.
#i am so so thankful for evie#SHE inspires others to be their best self#and it's truly an honor to be one of the besties in the squad <3#saved

PROMPTS FOR THE BUDDING ROMANCE * assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary
i never thought something like this could happen to me.
when they said you were hurt... i've never been so afraid in my whole life.
i almost lost you.
you are the most special person i have ever met.
are you blushing? did i make you blush?
here, take my jacket. you're shivering.
i don't know how to function around you. i struggle with words.
you have an easy way of making me feel breathless.
you have no idea what you do to me.
i've never met anyone like you before.
you've been a great friend to me. better than a friend. someone i can turn to in my darkest times.
next time, warn me when you pull a stunt like that. i want to be with you.
i don't know where i'd be without you.
you came right when i needed you.
i was just thinking about you, and here you are.
i had a dream about you.
i've tried seeing other people... but they're not you. they're not who i want.
i'll protect you. i promise.
i haven't taken my eyes off you since you walked in.
this is new for me. feeling like this.
i'm sorry. i just had to see you.
you mean absolutely everything to me.
is this what happens when you fall in love?
do you feel the same way about me?
i thought i could handle seeing you with someone else, but i was wrong.
i don't know what to say. you make me forget how to speak.
you make my head spin.
do that again. that was cute.
i couldn't wait around anymore. i have to tell you how i feel.
stop! you're making me blush!
i've never felt anything like this before.
go easy on my heart. please.
my heart has been broken so many times in the past... but you won't hurt me, right? i can trust you.
you're very distracting, you know.
was that flirting? were you just flirting with me?
you're different. you're not what i'm used to.
you can keep holding my hand, you know. you don't have to let go.
i like it when you held onto me. that was nice.
this stopped being a fling a while ago.
everything changed for me last week.
when i saw you with someone else... it broke me.
could you see yourself with me?
i wish i had the strength to tell you how i feel.
i could be your date.
what if i asked you out?
i've been flirting with you this whole time.
this doesn't have to be a date if you don't want it to be.
we could... try. see what happens.
meeting you was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
sorry, what did you say? i wasn't listening. i was... distracted.
i came as fast as i could. they said you needed me.
just stand behind me. i'll protect you.
you are... so infuriating. you know that, right?
i know what i said before... but i was wrong. about everything.
maybe we could try again?
you mumbled my name in your sleep again.

PROMPTS FOR INTIMATE PILLOW TALK * assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary
it's funny. sometimes i think i've already fallen in love with you as much as possible... and then we share a night like this.
i'm falling more and more in love with you every day.
what about me turns you on the most?
do you feel connected to me when we're together like that?
was it good for you? is there anything i can do better next time?
you made a few sounds i've never heard before.
are you satisfied by our physical intimacy?
can i get you anything? do you need me to do anything?
you know i love you, right?
that was the best night of my life.
i don't even know who i was last night.
what do my lips taste like when you kiss them?
what's your favorite thing about my body?
i've never done anything like that before.
thanks for going easy on me. clearly i've still got a lot to learn.
you were so gentle with me.
wish we could just stay like this forever.
you can stay the night, you know. you don't have to leave just yet.
you look so beautiful like this.
i could get used to this. nights in bed with you laying beside me.
i just can't stop looking at you. i can't believe you're real.
was i too much for you? did i go too far?
i need to be close to you like this.
can i kiss you again? i promise i won't get carried away.
just stay like that and let me admire how beautiful you are.
no one has ever loved me like that.
i've never been touched like that before.
it's like your body was made for mine.
don't go. don't get out of bed just yet.
i'm not ready to let go of you.
let's just cancel our plans for the day. what do you think?
why don't we just stay like this forever?
come closer. please.
i heard you talking in your sleep.
i didn't know it could feel like that.
i'm glad to share one last moment of calm with you before the storm.
i think we're more than friends.
whatever happens, we'll always have each other. last night is proof of that.
well... that was fun. give me a moment to catch my breath.
we could take a shower together if you wanted.
what time is it? maybe we should go grab lunch.
i'm too comfortable to move. let's just stay right here.
you're really cute when you blush.
thank you for trusting me like that.
i have a confession to make. i think i love you.
your hair's a mess.
what did you dream about?
feel like going another round?
i've never seen you act like that before.
i don't know what came over me.
no, please don't get up. come back to bed.
was it that bad?
i'm sure the neighbors really enjoyed hearing all that.
so... does this change anything between us?
i don't regret a single thing about last night.
would you hold me while we sleep?
i feel safe in your arms.
nothing will take me away from you.
we had a long night. you should get some rest.
you're the best i've ever had.
i'm so in love with you it hurts.
don't hide that beautiful smile from me!
we could try spooning. i hear that's nice.
so... what happens now?

PROMPTS FROM THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT * assorted dialogue from the book by carissa broadbent, adjust as necessary
i would beg. for you, i would.
you have fucking destroyed me, [name]. do you know that?
death isn't frightening when weighed against an insignificant existence.
i've lived through some injustices in the last couple of centuries.
a dead lover can never break your heart.
so many mistakes in the end. never you.
i give you my body. i give you my blood. i give you my soul. i give you my heart.
your soul is my soul.
i bind myself to you.
i wanted it to all be a lie. but it was not a lie.
never trust. never yield. always guard your heart.
vampires know better than anyone how important it is to protect their hearts.
love is sharper than any stake.
fear, when embraced, hardens and sharpens.
i would not die here.
don't fucking touch her.
there she is.
you are the most stunning thing i've ever seen, [name].
no one has ever said those words to me.
here's how you stay alive.
maybe our skin doesn't scar the same as yours, but our hearts do.
are you going to kill me, [name]?
you might destroy me anyway.
i would beg for you.
don't be so quick to throw away your humanity.
you might find you miss it once it's gone.
don't you fucking dare stop fighting.
it would break my heart.
nothing matters but this.
once you win, the world is yours.
this is the time for conquering.
you don't give an inch, do you?
why would he do this?
you smell like the sky.
i only know how to fight.
i can't take credit for everything that you've become.
fear is a collection of physical responses.
i love it, really, truly love it, when they underestimate me.
you're sweet. prickly, but sweet. in an acidic sort of way. like a pineapple.
love is a sacrifice at the altar of power.
you don't even know the things i've thought about.
there you are.
i used to be one of them.
i've saved your life twice now.
you're a demanding little thing, aren't you?
you aren't my prisoner.
i don't like feeling things.
i'm done hating myself for all my human weaknesses.
i will never be able to carve you from my heart. you are embedded too deep.
