' do you really believe that sarcastic ass attitude of yours is helping your case ? 'cause it isn't. i don't want to deal with this shit at all, amara. if i could teleport myself to another dimension to avoid your family drama . . . i would. ' he rolled his eyes as she tried to test his bravado, see if he'd fall for whatever reverse psychology technique she was attempting to use on him. ' maybe i'm just waiting for hanuel to ask me for help instead. 'cause when you inevitably lose this war . . . i'd like to look somewhat appealing to him. maybe he'll see just how useful i am and won't need to recreate some other version of me next time. i'm not scared . . . i just want to be on the winning team. ' he shook his head at the girl, an exhausted sigh passing through his lips. ' i'm not interested in signing up for my own demise, amara. '

' wow, well thanks for your big vote of confidence in me, really— i'd love for you to just sit back and watch, i'd have also loved to not have to come and beg for your help but it seems neither of us can get what we want. ' yet again with the sarcasm, she didn't want to come to him anymore than he doesn't want to join the fight. ' so you're scared ? you've decided you're a chicken, as the humans put it and you want to bury your face in the dirt whilst the adults battle it out ? fine. have fun with your last few days on earth. enjoy it whilst you can, you know— before we all die because you were too scared to lend a hand. ' shrug of her shoulders, she lets out a deep sigh. the only amusement amara gets now is her little comment — seeing as it's thrown him quite a bit. ' aw, he's not ? — you're thinking ahead now, see ? we could use someone like you on the team. '

if he'd been a more decent person, he would've taken the time to consider how his bluntness might have hurt her feelings, but lucas was about as inconsiderate as a person could be. ❛   you can be, and you are.   ❜ words are needlessly blunt, but he couldn't stand the idea of her continuing to walk through life unaware of how foolish she truly was. he snorted at her pathetic attempt at an argument, head shaking slightly. ❛   that's not my type. i don't have a type to begin with. you know i just care about fucking and nothing more.   ❜

she   tries   not   to   let   his   words   sting,   even   if   they   do.   there's   a   furious   blush   that   coats   her   cheeks   in   embarrassment   as   she   surveys   him.   the   pitter   patter   of   her   heart   doesn't   go   unnoticed   to   her,   tries   to   mask   it   with   a   small   fit   of   laughter.         ❛   i   can't   be   naive   and   gullible,   ❜         she   defended   weakly,   brushing   some   hair   behind   her   ear   in   a   nervous   tick.         ❛   because   then   that'd   mean   i'd   be   your   type,   lu.   ❜

[dismaltouch]

lucas knew he likely couldn't keep her around forever. she'd eventually grow a backbone, would tell him to fuck off and stand up for herself. until that happened, though, he was content to enjoy fucking her. he was using her, lucas knew that. there weren't any real feelings involved, but he could lie to her about that. he knew how to be deceiving when he wanted something. what he wanted, was her. he didn't even know why he did. trying to figure that out would only result in a splitting headache for him. he would just be more careful about seeing other girls behind her back and feed her the lies she wanted to hear. "of course i care about you. you're more than enough for me. i'm sorry i fucked up."

moments of clarity are fleeting. willow seems to prefer an ever lasting escape from reality. like the truth burns to touch — makes all of her ache inside. and so it seems only a matter of time before she's taking her clothes off, pretending that this thing between them means anything. just wants to feel close, to escape for a little while. deep down knows that someone like lucas could only want one thing from someone like willow. knows that she makes it all too easy for him, but she doesn't care. " okay, good . . . " knows he's lying, chooses to ignore it anyway. " if you care about me, you will. if i'm enough for you. "

[dismaltouch]

" it's remarkable you've found a way to compliment and insult me in the same breath. it's such a difficult task to accomplish for most people. i don't really care about what you think, though. i'm not in the business of valuing opinions other than my own. i just like to know what people think of me. "

" for how cute you are, i do wish you were less of a gigantic fucking headache. "

[dismaltouch]

offered a slight shrug in response, not necessarily opposed to the idea. “ if that's what you needed from me, then sure. ” she might've been laughing, but his offer was entirely serious. scoffed at her statement, found that it was his turn to roll his eyes at her. “ you're wrong, astrid. i haven't met a single problem that violence didn't solve. ”

“   oh   really   ?   and   what   are   you   going   to   do   ?   help   me   bury   the   body   ?   ”   she   laughs   at   the   ridiculousness   of   it   all   .   rolling   her   eyes   in   an   almost   affectionate   manner   .   “   violence   doesn’t   solve   everything   ,   lucas   .   ”

[dismaltouch]

lucas looked out for himself above everything and everyone else. self preservation was what got him through the centuries. he was likely an essential person in battle, knew that he had talents that could only be matched by people like amara and haneul. he'd yet to be approached by her brother, which was not a detail he'd soon forget. all of this was perplexing to the male, left him wondering what the hell side he should've been on. had always been a blunt person, preferred laying out the details clearly, even if it came off as a bit insensitive. ' well, amara . . . i hate to break it to you, but you need a pretty solid fucking plan from the sounds of it. you can't recruit people to help you when you don't even have all of the kinks worked out. you're just signing yourself up for failure if you do that. no, i don't want that. maybe he just needs to get laid or something. it could make him chill out. '

he's completely right, he has got a point and even amara herself would make sure she knew what she was getting into before agreeing but this just won't work out well for her. ' okay—— fine, okay. ' though of course she gives in regardless and gives most of the details of the somewhat plan. though the other's words don't help her confidence at all — in fact it almost shatters it. ' well—— yes... and yes... i'm unsure if he can actually be killed. look, i haven't worked out all of the kinks okay ? but —— don't you think... don't you think we have to try something ? we can't just let him get rid of the entire world. is that what you want ? '

[dismaltouch]

lucas, despite what some might have believed, was by no means stupid. he could see when something posed too much of a risk, and this was one of those things. rushing blindly to save a world while the creator of said world was against him ? no chance in hell. ' look, that's your call to make. if you want to try . . . be my guest, but don't try and include me in this mess. i'd rather sit back and watch this go down from afar. i'll either go out with everyone, or watch you perform one hell of a miracle. either way, it'll be a great show until the very end. ' just one he would not be picking sides in. lucas narrowed his gaze at amara, unamused scoff escaping his lips. was she serious ? ' me ? as if. there's only room for one crazy person in my hookups . . . and that's me. haneul isn't really my type, either. you're telling me that you can't think of anything or anyone that'll do that for him ? what if you just put a mirror in front of him then ? if he's so in love with himself ? maybe he can get distracted by his own reflection. '

every word he was reiterating was right but it was only frustrating her more. if her brother were just a nice being and never locked her up in he first place none of this would be happening right now. it's all his fault. amara begins getting a little pouty over the subject now, she knows she has no leg to stand on and that no one really knows her anymore since she's been away all this time. haneul has the upper hand, he's had the time to get people on his side. ' i know, okay !? i know but i have to try. don't i ? ' before now, all amara wanted was darkness — just like herself but she's grown to like the world her brother created. the femme is taken out of her thoughts upon his last words, practically choking on her own salivia. ' well that's very nice of you to offer your services but haneul is interested in no one but himself. you couldn't find anyone he'd even touch with a ten foot pole but good luck on seducing him. i'm rooting for you, really. '

[dismaltouch]

' do i need to know what i'm getting myself into for you ? yeah, i do. nobody comes to me for help, which means you're desperate. that tells me something insane is going to go down, and i'd like to know what that entails. ' he wasn't foolish enough to jump into something like this. ' tell me you don't expect me to believe that. i know you're keeping something from me, amara. that's just not a very convincing lie. ' brows furrowed slightly as she laid out the hidden details for him, an annoyed huff escaping the male's lips. ' so you mean to tell me he's completely off his rocker and just wants to get rid of everything and everyone ? how do you even plan on stopping him ? can he even be killed ? or are you just planning on imprisoning him the way he imprisoned you ? this hardly sounds like a fair fight. '

turns her nose up at the very idea that the other has a kind bone in his body but she's desperate, she needs to gather anyone she can at this point. ' key information ? do you really need to know everything ? ' amara sighs out, this is the part she dreads. telling them they have to go against everything they once believed in, to show them what kind of being haneul truly is. ' i'm not keeping anything from you—— fine. ' he'll have to learn it all sooner or later, she better find out if he'll really be loyal to her or not before everything kicks off. ' in his exact words, haneul wants quiet. he wants nothing. which includes getting rid of this worlds i've grown quite fond of and i'm pretty sure you have too. do you want it all to be gone ? us included. '

[dismaltouch]

' what can i say ? i'm just full of kindness. ' he definitely wasn't. in fact, the last thing he was . . . was kind. he was selfish and vindictive, didn't care much for anyone, really. ' no, it was in plain enough english. what i'm concerned about is the way you're obviously omitting key information that'll impact the decision i make, ' he stated simply. she wasn't even being subtle about it, either. perhaps her imprisonment had something to do with that. ' no, amara. that's not nearly enough information at all. you're keeping something from me . . . — what is it ? ' he wasn't going to jump into anything that could potentially endanger himself or put him in someone's bad graces. lucas needed to know he was fighting for the cause that he believed in. he wasn't just going to fight because she asked him to.

' so kind of you to say . ' teeth grit as she speak , a deep sigh emitting her lips . ' i'm sorry , was that not in plain enough english ? yes , on my side when the time comes . ' amara is still learning her graces and manners after being locked away from everyone for so long . ' more information ? ' the femme questions the other , arms coming to fold across her chest as she attempts to explain it to him without scaring him off . ' well , my side—— is not my brother's side . you ... you'll help me and you won't help him . is that enough information for you ? ' eyes shift awkwardly , knowing that haneul scares the majority of others but amara knows she can beat him if she has enough people on her side .

[dismaltouch]

' well, everyone needs something that helps them survive, ' lucas stated with a shrug. wasn't too bothered by her poor attitude in reality. after all, he couldn't really blame amara for feeling irritated. one thing about lucas, was that he liked knowing what it was he got himself involved in. being left in the dark was not an option for him. ' on your side when the time comes? ' color him confused and incredibly curious. ' as much as i love helping out a pretty face, i'm gonna need a lot more information before i agree to doing anything. don't take it personally, that's just how i function. i'm not gonna sign up for anything when i don't know what it is that i'm agreeing to to. '

' my sarcasm is all i had to survive on, actually but thank you for reminding me of that. ' the femme quips as she flicks her hair off of her shoulder as she suddenly feels a little badly about snapping at him. eyes find his own once again, slight smile playing on her lips though she wipes all expression because she doesn't want to get ahead of herself. ' so gracious of you. i just need you to be on my side when the time comes. ' it's so vague but she knows for a fact that when she tells him exactly what she needs from the other, he's going to turn it down immediately. ' can you do that for me ? '

[dismaltouch]

he had come up with many stories in his day to get him out of circumstances he wanted no part of. thankfully, she ended the odd contact on her own, because he was truly clueless on how to react to it. ❛   not joking at all. that's the story i gave and it worked.   ❜ he liked to think of himself as an expert liar, and his ability to deceive people so easily came in handy on a regular basis. he scoffed at her words, shaking his head incredulously. ❛   do you really need me to point out that you're a super naïve and gullible girl ? a family emergency is the lamest excuse he could've come up with.   ❜

her   lips   purse   at   his   candor,   cheeks   hollowing   in   and   out   with   a   huff   of   frustration.   leave   it   to   lucas   not   to   pull   his   punches.   the   long,   winded   story   he   gives   is   met   with   a   drop   of   their   joined   hands,   raising   to   muffle   the   boisterous   laugh   that   falls   from   her   mouth.         ❛   you're   joking,   ❜         she   deadpanned,   eyes   twinkling   with   something   akin   to   happiness.         ❛   and   she   actually   bought   that   ?   ❜         there's   a   shake   of   her   head,   feeling   herself   more   relieved   than   suspicious   now.         ❛   well,   he   didn't   give   me   that   narrative.   so   he   must   be   telling   the   truth.   maybe   you   just   have   a   thing   for   super   naive   and   gullible   girls.   ❜

[dismaltouch]

❛   is it possible ? sure. do i think he's telling you the truth ? no.   ❜ words were followed up with an indifferent shrug, not allowing himself to become impacted by emotions. this was her issue to deal with, not his. he glanced down at her, head shaking slightly. ❛   come on, emira. give it up. i'm not sharing my excuses with you. just do whatever your girlfriends would suggest and listen to your heart or whatever.   ❜

❛   so   it's   possible   he   is   having   a   family   emergency   ?   ❜         emira   tried   to   confirm,   glancing   up   at   the   other   with   a   hopeful   look.   desperate   hands   cling   onto   lucas'   arm   to   tug   him   down   to   her   height.         ❛   please,   please,   please,   luke.   what   excuses   do   you   give   a   girl   when   you're   no   longer   interested   in   her   ?   ❜

[dismaltouch]

❛   i think he's full of shit. family emergency just sounds like a convenient excuse to me. most people wouldn't question the validity of that.  ❜ had no reason to vouch for the male in question after all. why should he try to ease her frazzled mind ? ❛   i don't think you want me to answer that question honestly.   ❜ she'd likely be appalled by his answer, and he couldn't necessarily blame her for that.

❛   but   maybe   he   really   did   have   a   family   emergency   ?   ❜         emira   frowned,   looking   down   at   her   phone   for   any   updates   from   the   date   that   stood   her   up.         ❛   does   that   sound   like   an   excuse   you'd   use   with   a   girl   ?   ❜

[dismaltouch]

didn't  expect  anything  less  than  a  sarcastic  remark  from  the  girl,  all  things  considered. he'd  probably  be  a  little  cranky  himself  if  he'd  been  locked  away  in  a  cage  by  a  sibling. rolled  his  eyes  at  her  words,  an  exaggerated  sigh  escaping  his  lips. he  wasn't  a  very  helpful  person  to  say  the  least,  and  the  last  thing  he  wanted  to  do  was  get  himself  involved  in  any  sort  of  battle,  but  he  supposed  he  was  technically  part  of  it  already,  despite  the  fact  he  was  an  unwilling  participant. '  it's  so  nice  to  see  your  sarcasm  is  still  very  much  intact. guess  you  haven't  lost  all  parts  of  yourself,  hmm  ?  '  lucas  shrugged  in  response,  gaze  shifting  from  amara  to  his  shoes,  before  looking  back  at  her  once  again. '  i  guess  i  could  clear  up  some  time  in  my  demanding  schedule  to  help  you. what  is  it  that  you  need  me  to  do  exactly  ?  '

in truth, she really didn't think for even a second that anything she said was out of line considering the dire stakes. takes a step back when he begins questioning her words, eyes narrowing as sarcastic smile comes to play. ' oh, my manners ? i'm so sorry, i think i forgot those in the cage i've been locked up in thanks to my brother and now i'm out and he wants to end the world so forgive me if my manners are a little rusty ! ' takes a deep breath, though angering the femme seems like the worst idea ever considering the damage she can do. ' so can ... will you help me ? '

[dismaltouch]

he knew that he wasn't deserving of someone like willow, that he'd only fuck her up even more in the long run. lucas was just an incredibly selfish person, and he wasn't so willing to just let her go despite it being in her best interest. he'd feed her the lies he knew she wanted to hear so he could keep her close. wanted to ensure she was still wrapped around his finger. "i promise." words were far from the truth, but willow didn't need to know that. she could continue remaining blissfully unaware. "they don't matter to me. i could get rid of all of their numbers right now."

glances down at the floor, empty space between them. knows that such things aren't true. that there'd been someone that she deeply cared about — someone who makes her heart twist painfully in her chest. isn't lucas, isn't callum. " yeah, " nods softly. " maybe. " can feel the wall she's built up around herself beginning to crumble. never really has ever been good at resisting the promise of affection, has she ? gaze flickers up to his face. " you promise ? " brows furrowed, lips pouty. " what about those girls . . . the ones in your phone ? "
