it only takes a moment ; her focus had been on Miecz when a sharp pain blooms in her side. talons are through the offenders neck before they even have a chance to understand the consequences of their actions. tossing the body aside with little care, Ravenna ignores the iron dagger still stuck inside her & helps finish off the remaining attackers.
when the dust finally settles, the sigh weak & brittle that leaves her is one of relief as eyes find Miecz & Jason. feet carry her to them, thumb brushing some dirt off her son’s face as she gently cups his cheek & leaves a kiss to his forehead. arms wrap around her, guiding her into an embrace with her fiancé & suddenly it’s like all the energy is sucked out of her. knees buckles & Ravenna grips his biceps to hold herself up, nose burying in the crook of his neck & a light sound of pain comes from the back of her throat. a wince when Miecz brings them to the ground, cradling her against his body & they’re finally able to see the hilt of the weapon emerging from her waist.
time seems to slow, eyes memorizing the angles of his face & the curve of his lips. a hand reaches out, steady even for the absence of her strength & has the pad of her thumb follow where gaze just traced. he’s talking but she can’t hear, everything is muffled save for her own heartbeat pounding slowly in her ears a familiar sound she’s heard only once before & it makes her feel heavy. hand drops from his face & lids struggle to remain open as a delirious smile appears.
@mieczlw ( stiles → ravenna ) : “ hey, don’t you dare close your eyes, you hear me? you die in my arms, and i’m gonna stick the dry-cleaning bill for this shirt in your coffin, that’s a promise! “
her laugh is quiet, head rolling until her cheek rests against his shoulder & eyes struggle to open, to do as he begs with hope it will ease his pain. while one hand helps to keep pressure on the wound, the other searches for his & holds on tightly, no intention of ever letting go. ❝ you know you can just put it on my tab. ❞ a playful squeeze to accompany the breathy chuckle, laying his palm over her heart so she can cup his neck. ❝ i love you & the family we’ve made. i’m not going anywhere, baby. ❞ black creeps into the corner of her vision, growing slowly before all at once, it consumes her.

@loetise ( allie → ravenna ) : ‘ i feel awful. i probably look awful. ‘
A FROWN. soft as it tugs at the corners of her mouth before stepping closer to Allie. ❝ mi stellina . . . ❞ one hand goes to cup her cheek gently as the other holds the homemade soup she’s made for her. ❝ you look beautiful. ❞ not a lie, Ravenna finds Allie to be gorgeous but she does seem a bit pale & it causes concern to settle in her chest. ❝ why don’t i warm up some soup & then we can watch a movie ? standing in the doorway won’t make you feel any better. ❞

SHE’S STARVING. or well . . . Malel is. she’s lured their meal from the bar, leading him to a dark alleyway for privacy & yet, it seems they were followed. footsteps slow as they reach the entrance & Ravenna looks over at the man, an eyebrow arching at the stranger & a coy smile appears on dark red lips. ❝ this is a private show. ❞
@kvnghs ( liam → ravenna ) : ❝ to be honest, i don’t give two shits what you’re up to. ❞
head tilts, eyeing the other momentarily & Malel offers the idea of having a 2 - course meal tonight but Ravenna is quick to dismiss it she’s intrigued. ❝ then you should keep moving. ❞ she takes a step further into the alley before turning to look at the stranger once more, a mischievous glint in sea - green eyes. ❝ be safe out there . . . you don’t know what could be lurking in the shadows. ❞

it’s not the first time she’s held someone else’s life in her hands, the weight of it almost comfortable in her palm & the only reason she’s hesitating this time is because it’s her own uncle’s terrified gaze that stares back at her.
@kvnghs ( liam → ravenna ) : ❛ people like that don’t deserve to live. ❜
she knows – that is not a lesson she needs to learn again. jaw clenches, giving the other a sharp glare from over her shoulder & a huff of frustration escapes through her nose. ❝ i know exactly what he deserves. ❞ in one swift motion, Ravenna forces her hand through his chest & rips his heart out. holding it between them, she watches the life slowly drain from a man she once considered family, her own heart twisting painfully as the circle of those she can put her faith into shrinks before her eyes.

@likesodead ( alex → ravenna ) : “They’re not going to make it.”
she almost doesn’t hear the stranger’s comment, only looking up because there’s a hint of panic in his voice. eyes find the source & then follow his gaze, widening at the sight of 2 children standing in the middle of the road ; distracted by something on the ground the girls don’t notice the car speeding their way. Ravenna springs into action, speeding over to snatch them up in her arms & jump out of the way just in time.
they’re surrounded suddenly, the parents are fretting over their daughters & the driver has been spewing apologies since she got out of her car. Ravenna accepts their thanks, quick to slip out of the crowd & avoid any questions but also in the hopes of finding the stranger . . . there’s more to him & now she’s curious.
