Mordió su labio y rodó los ojos al escuchar la respuesta del hombre ante su solicitud de identificación. Debió haberlo anticipado. Estaba claro que el leve destello de comprensión que había percibido en sus palabras minutos antes no era más que una ilusión, producto de su ingenuidad y la creencia de que siempre hay algo de bondad en los demás. Ese joven, probablemente armado, la estaba escoltando hacia un destino incierto. No podía relajarse.

Escuchó con atención lo que dijo a continuación: territorio McKenzie. Esa información no resolvía nada, pero luego mencionó a los ingleses. Si su conocimiento geográfico no fallaba, eso significaba que aún debía estar en el Reino Unido. Y sí, ese era su último recuerdo coherente: la visita a la casa de su tía Lily. Pero no estaba en casa, como había supuesto al principio.

"No soy inglesa", le explicó de inmediato, ignorando su orden de continuar caminando. "Estoy de visita en el Reino Unido", añadió rápidamente. Necesitaba dejarle claro que no tenía nada que ver con las extrañas disputas entre familias o clanes de los que el joven no dejaba de hablar.

"Por favor, solo quiero llegar a casa de mi tía. Tengo frío, creo que estoy lastimada... no soy una amenaza para tu familia ni para tu Rey", dijo como último intento de escapar, aunque no mentía. Estaba genuinamente congelada y, aunque intentara ignorarlo, una de sus piernas se sentía tibia por lo que creía que era sangre proveniente de una herida que había sufrido en su... ¿caída? En realidad, no entendía cómo había llegado allí, cómo se encontraba en esa situación, ni si se había golpeado la cabeza.

Alex caminaba a unos pasos detrás de ella, su mirada fija en el sendero mientras escuchaba su voz romper el silencio. Su cuerpo, tenso y vigilante, no mostraba rastro alguno de simpatía, pero en su mente las preguntas se acumulaban. ¿Qué hacía alguien como ella, claramente fuera de lugar, en sus tierras?

"No hace falta que sepas mi nombre," respondió con aspereza, sus ojos brevemente desviándose hacia ella cuando se detuvo y lo enfrentó. "Y si estás esperando hospitalidad, no es algo que te hayas ganado aún." Soltó un bufido sarcástico sorprendiéndose por el descaro de esa mujer.

La examinó con detenimiento mientras permanecía inmóvil. Su ropa, delgada y ajena a cualquier utilidad práctica, confirmaba lo que ya había sospechado: no pertenecía a este lugar y cualquier cosa en ella estaba mal. Sus manos se tensaron alrededor de su cinturón, donde descansaba la empuñadura de su cuchillo. "Estamos en territorio de los Mckenzie, pero te encontré en el camino McLeod... Por lo que sospecho, eres una de ellos. Y si tienes algo que ver con los ingleses, o con ese maldito clan, más te vale dec��rmelo ahora."

El viento frío azotaba ambos rostros, pero Alex permaneció estoico, inmune al temblor evidente en la mujer frente a él. Su expresión era dura, como si cada palabra fuese un desafío que debía enfrentarse con cautela. Finalmente, añadió: "Si no sabes dónde estás, entonces sigue caminando. Cuanto antes lleguemos, antes sabrás lo que necesitas."

Sin esperar respuesta, inclinó la cabeza hacia el sendero, dejando claro que no estaba interesado en perder tiempo.

"Tell me, when did I start looking like the enemy?"

(( @tomsland )) Natalie suspiró al escuchar aquellas palabras. Su rostro, marcado por las lágrimas, se tornaba rojizo por el ardor que estas dejaban en su piel. Honestamente, no sabía qué responder ante la pregunta, porque el dolor en su pecho no tenía nada que ver con la discusión en curso, sino con un cúmulo de cosas que no habían ido bien desde hace tiempo. Ni siquiera recordaba por qué estaban peleando en ese momento. Se llevó una mano a la boca y comenzó a morder una de sus uñas, tan desgastada por la ansiedad de los últimos días que ya no quedaba espacio para cortarla.

"Creo... no lo sé", dijo, luego de unos minutos de silencio. "Pero no es algo reciente, y eso es lo peor", concluyó, con la voz quebrada.

plot where one of our muses moved away a year ago and they began to date long distance. at first it was great, but now it’s horrible. days without properly talking to each other, spending too many nights home alone instead of hanging out with friends, and fighting over petty jealousy. our muses plan to meet up again and mine goes to visit yours. at dinner, my muse is preparing to break up with yours but before they get the chance, your muse proposes.

[octaeviasblake]

ummmmmm i just finished this AMAZING book and now i need a plot that’s “you told me you needed a break because i’m fucked up so i gave it to you but now it’s the three months mark and i haven’t heard from you yet and what the fuck do you mean you’re dating someone else???? you said break not break-up??” and i need it NOW k thnx

[octaeviasblake]

ok but a plot where exes live together… they can’t afford to live somewhere else for the time being so they figure staying in the same apartment they’ve spend in as couple for months/years is the only temporary solution for now… give me the constant confrontation of watching each other date other people, realizations that what muse a never did with muse b, they do better with their new fling/partner and what muse b could never give muse a, muse a now receives from new partner etc etc. the jealousy, lingering bitterness, out of spite still flirting with each other, hooking up on the nights they drink a little too much or maybe indifference and realizing they consider each other as platonic soulmates, because romance doesn’t work for them???

[octaeviasblake]

we're working on a movie/show together and we just finished our first kissing scene but when the director said "cut" we kept kissing a little longer because it was so good — and now there's a weird tension between us because you're dating someone else/i'm dating someone else/we're both dating someone else but damn i want to keep kissing you

[octaeviasblake]

we’re exes but everyone’s got someone at this new years party and now that you’re here anyway and the countdown for the new year has begun we might as well be each other’s new years kiss but this means NOTHING and i don’t want you back. do i?
