||Drabble Summary||

Officer Star was checking up on the inmate Ashley but he saw that she was doing alright so far. However, later on, he wonders what he can find out about her. Meanwhile, Oblivion went to check on Yuuka again but finds something disturbing what could it be? Read to find out.

||Guests in Drabble||

Joshua Star and other members from his fraction mentioned, Rave"Oblivion" Daitengu Arion"Hellmare" Iderum, and Fira"Maggie" Fireleo belongs to my amazing Rp partner @demon-blood-youths

Ashley Butterfly, Yuuka Nakano, and Jinx Violet are my oc’s that belong to me. Yuji Itadori is from Jujutsu Kaisen but is also a muse I rp as.

((Note: Their will be grammar mistakes and errors in this drabble as others have this warning. But like I state before, this is written for fun. So I hope you like it and my friend too. Enjoy))

Later that afternoon, Joshua was seeing his team checking on the inmates that everyone was back in their cells for the day. However, they were all relaxed now even so. However, this made the others curious. Even if Ashley was the one that caused this, it really was something. She was able to sooth or keep them under her control.

It was scary to say the least.

"You know. I never get what she does and yet, the inmates are relaxed even so." Vanessa said to the others and yet, they were curious.

"I don't know. When she got here, they were under her control but she didn't use anyway to get out or cause a riot. That still freaks me out even so. Maybe we can just keep this common and still keep our guard up." Light said thinking about it. He sighed just looking at him then at the others.

"Well, maybe that's a good thing?" everyone looks to officer Shee to hear that.

"What makes you say that, Sydeia?" Robert asked confused.

"Well, lets just say it's a feeling. She has never tried to break out or tried to make the inmates cause any riots. That is scary giving the fact she's that dangerous." she said seeing the others thinking about it. Though, she could have but didn't. "I bet even Hellmare and Maggie feel the same." Angel said but looks silent.

"You know? I'm scared to ask what she is thinking about but maybe we shouldn't worry about it too much..." they said but thinking about it. "Hold on, where is Joshua?" Vanessa asked to see the others look at her.

"He's visiting Ashley right now to see if she is good.."

~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~

"You really sure this is safe?" Maggie asked Hellmare but she said nothing to look seeing Joshua quiet but arrived at Ashley's cell. She was indeed sitting in there looking at the floor but she had some vines inside that coated the wall and the floor. Seems it was true about her having plant like demonic power but she was focused on something else.

"........"

"I'm sure as Joshua said it's fine.Besides, she don't seem violent." Hellmare said as the two remain quiet. However, Joshua sighed but looks to her.

"Ummmm Ash? I'm here for your daily check up." He said loud enough for her to hear him. She slowly looks to turn her head showing her golden honey yellow eyes to him. He didn't say anything seeing the expression on her face but she then looks ahead again as he held his breath to take out the cell key and goes to unlock it to open it.

"Be careful Joshua.." Maggie said.

"I..I'll be safe. Trust me. She won't hurt me but I'll be safe." He said but turns to head inside but looks to Ashley who was looking at her lap again. However, she remains still.

"Have you eaten at lunch today?" he asked but she only slowly nods to him.

".....I see. Good. I'm glad you did. Though...did you...need the other thing you have to eat." He asked but she didn't respond to slowly shake her head no while having the blanket over her shoulders. He wonders if she was saying that but knowing her, she did seem to be.

"Ashley? Are you sure?" he asked.

"........I'm a bit hungry but..I will eat later tomorrow if it's alright? I don't feel..c..comfortable e..eating if others were st..staring.." she speaks in a quiet tone but Joshua sighed.

"..I understand. I'll come later to check on you in case you do. I don't want you to be nervous about it." he said but he sees her look to the side and understand. However, he turns to start walking out till she grabs his wrist.

"???"

Maggie notice about to do something but Hellmare stops her, assuring it's fine. She said nothing but looks seeing Ashley look at Joshua with a quiet expression.

"Is something w..wrong?" He asked.

"....T..thank you but I'll s..see you later on tomorrow..I should be fine to wait till later to eat." she said softly before letting his wrist go as the vine pulls back. He nods but turns to walk out while shutting the cell door to look at the other two.

"..Joshua.."

"She didn't hurt me. She tends to do that sometimes but..she's not evil as many think. Or at least her sweet side. Her other side is..pretty violent.." he mutters but sighed being quiet.

"Anyway, we can give her some time to relax before I come back." he said turning leave with the other two follow him. Now they were curious towards it.

"I'm really curious if she really is what she says.." Maggie walks but Hellmare sighed.

"I'm sure she is. I'm already speaking with Hiroshi and he seems pretty calm for a inmate. I'm sure you can do the same with T-bone.." she said but Maggie rolls her eyes but understood. This was going to be something.

"I hope the others are having better luck.." she grumbled.

~~~~~Meanwhile with Oblivion~~~~~

"Are you sure this is all you found out Ophelia? It can't be like that can it?" she asked on the phone but heard a sigh from the other.

'I'm afraid so. I know it's hard to hear Oblivion but it's true. I can do what I said but given her history it's scary. I never seen anyone taking in so much toxins and having it blended into her own. To say at least, with that much, she would have been ill but she's absorbing it like it's nothing.' she explains while checking the notes.

'I can still try to make something that's not as painful for her and maybe where it's not a shot? I don't know if she's alright with medicine or something else..' she thinks but Oblivion said nothing to think.

"Then, can you tell me anything involving her history?" she asked.

'All I know from her records, she used to be someone that helped others in the past. Always risking her life to help others. However, she ran into some people that 'used' her and hopes to try and control her due to her gift. It didn't work as they hope leading to her self poisoning them. She became dangerous and unstable given the fact some even tricked her with giving drugs to her.'

"Drugs?"

'Yes. I had Hex check the types and theirs a lot. Way too much for one to consume she would have been killed but...she wasn't? Maybe it's due to the poison in her body eating at it to keep her safe.' Ophelia explains but Oblivion looks quiet.

".....How bad are we talking here?" Oblivion asked but Ophelia didn't say.

".....Ophelia?"

'*Sighs* Bad to where if more of this was given, it could seriously hurt or damage her. She might not be able to do much or worse.' she said.

".........."

Before she asked, Oblivion heard some shouting or commotion in the other area but stood up.

'Oblivion, you still there?' Ophelia asked.

"Yeah, I gotta call you back for a moment.." she said quickly rushing to check it out. She gets out from the other room but saw Luna and Swan worried as some was speaking.

"Hey, what is going on?" Oblivion asked.

"It's Yuuka. Something's wrong.." Swan said but right away Oblivon goes to check. She opens the door to look inside but as she did, she tenses seeing what was in front of her.

The holding cell was now melting, given the fact that two officers backed up shaking to see the purple goo. They had another shot to give but she was sitting in the corner crying. She even noticed her scratching her arm a little bit but not the specks of blood.

"Yuuka!"

"...S...stay away...stay away...stay away..." she heard her speak softly while holding her head. The goo was bubbling around the floor of her cell but she had her back facing them.

"What did you two do!?" Oblivion asked.

"W..w...we were just trying to give her the shot for the night! We were told by the other to do that!" he said scared but the other was nervous that they saw the goo now spreading out more.

"Yeah. We had orders to give her the shot before she goes to sleep but when we tired she did this!" the other said.

"Tch...I need to get to her or at least calm her down! Do you have something to put her to sleep?!" Oblivion asked.

"We do but we can't get close to her!" the officer said but that's when they saw the goo rising up and spreading. It seems to be dripping but when some falls on one of the officer's pants it begins eating it away as he shouts trying to get it off with a cloth. It hisses as he tried to clean it off but when he did, he saw a hole where the goo eats away the clothing a bit showing a burned hole. He was lucky it didn't get to his skin.

"We need to leave!" Swan said worried. "The poison is starting to come from here again. It's not safe to be in here right now!" she said as everyone backs up to the door.

"Yuuka Nakano, you need to stop! Please, can you hear me!?" Oblivion shouted but Yuuka covers her ears shutting her eyes. She just wanted them to stop. Stop shouting, stop talking. She just wanted them to leave her alone!

"......"

"Yuu it's me! Please, you need to calm down-"

"Leave me alone.....leave me alone...." she whispered still crying.

"Yuuka, you need to stop! Please, I can help you. I can-"

"LEAVE!!!" She screams for the goo to get more dangerous that it started growing more. That told Luna to get everyone out of the cell area pulling them out even Oblivion.

"EVERYONE OUT!!" Luna shouted getting everyone out of this cell room.

"Yuuka!!" Oblivion shouted as she was pulled out, Swan quickly shuts the door before the whole room was coated in Yuuka's goo. Yuuka was alone again but she was clawing at her arm where another shot was given but she digs her nails into her skin drawing blood.

"H..Hurts...*shaking* i..it..It hurts...It hurts..It hurts...." she sobs scratching her skin more shaking. Her tears were running down her cheeks while sobbing even louder through out the bubbling of the goo all around her.

~~~~~~~~~~~

In the hallway, the officers and inmates saw this but Luna was worried seeing a sign showing 'Quarantine; do not enter' near the door.

"Damn it.." Oblivion hissed but she saw Luna sigh.

"Great, now we have to wait for her to calm down before going back in that room. That's the second time she's lost it.." she mutters.

"How long will it take?" Oblivion said.

"A few hours....maybe tomorrow I don't know. But rest assure, when it does we can let you know Oblivion. Right now, the room is covered in her goo so no one can get in or out now...we'll have to wait till she calms down.." she hated to say that but it was true. Hearing this, Oblivion looks to the door but looks quiet.

She had to figure this out before it gets worse. But it leaves the question; what the fuck happened back then to make her be this violent? It worried her to give the thought.

'She really is like me..different but the same. Yuuka, what the hell happened to you?'

~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile with Itadori and Jinx~~~~~~~~~

"You really won't tell me anything will you?" she asked him and yet, he said nothing to sigh.

"Trust me, Kitten. I'm not in the mood to say. I just want this night to pass so I can leave." Yuji was looking at the wall of this cell but Jinx only frowns a bit.

"I understand but still..you can tell me if you want-"

"I said I don't. I really don't." he said being stubborn and yet, she remains quiet to look at the floor while standing guard. Yuji had to be hiding something but she didn't want to anger him or push it. For now, she will just wait and maybe hope for the best. His two inmates should be alright till tomorrow but she hopes that he will at least talk to her.

"Yuji.."

"Again, I'm not saying anything. I'm fine. Now...please lets not talk about it...hmm?" he said.

"Your being stubborn tonight." she said.

"And you are being nosy too..." he said.

"......"

"I just want to help but fine..I'll be quiet.." she mutters with the two now being in silence. Jinx wanted to know but she didn't want to anger him. What was on his mind though? Yuji said nothing but his arms were crossed but he was thinking about her but she didn't know that...yet.

Maggie talking about working with James on Secretary

[legaltrashgoblin]

No one can ever understand how much Ronan's phone call to Matthew means to me.

Holding yourself still enough to not fall apart, a short phone call to your younger sibling because you care enough to check if they're still okay after a nightmare, or after a bad thought

And the dismissal on the other end. Too young to have the weight of everything on your shoulders, to have the anxiety about losing a brother, a sibling, because they haven't reached the point of worrying about the death of parents or family.

And that's where Ronan has the complexities of being both an older and younger sibling. Caring like a helicopter parent, always worrying about the younger members of the family, wanting to protect them at all costs, copping the hate that comes with caring. And being the one under the too-watchful eye of an older sibling, feeling oppressed, held back, and having the deep-set anger toward the older sibling

Ronan Lynch, the man that you are. You destroy me

FINALLY THE DAY I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE 2021 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

RENEGADES WILL HAVE A FOURTH BOOK, AND NOT ONLY ONE BUT THERE COULD BE SEVERAL OTHER BOOKS

Y’ALL I’M FREAKING OUT, I’M GOING TO READ MY BABIES AGAIN‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[biandlesbianliterature]

A sapphic Sherlock Holmes book, but in space, and with an F/F second chance romance. If you’re looking for a quick but engaging read, The Mimicking of Known Successes is a great choice. Whether you’re a sci-fi fan who thinks you could use a little mystery or a mystery fan who thinks you could possibly branch into sci-fi, I think you could come into this book from either angle and be satisfied.

The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older was reviewed at the Lesbrary

[akiacia]

aaaah i love how you draw baxter so much! he always looks so mischievous in your style it's adorable.

oh, thank you!! 😭💕 i actually went to reference his sprite art (as opposed to my own..) for the first time in a while recently, and realized……man i kinda draw him off-model 🤣 i'm glad he's at least retained some of his personality LOL

[drawingsfromthefrogwar]

Best drawing in the whole world right here, they deserve happiness and also brownies

what if you were two little guys who deserved the world?

Jaylynn really hated strangers at that age, so i think it means a lot that he let Cassie hold him and play with his hair. He could just tell that she was safe and that she was like him. They both stim in the same way

[bluejaybytes]

In celebration for her fourth birthday here's Maggie fun facts uhhhhhhhhhh

She's an AU of an AU of my scrapped warrior cats sona turned original character. Magpieheart, the ShadowClan deputy who can see ghosts -> Human Magpieheart AU where she can see ghosts still -> I have a cool dream about being murdered and waking up in a future where I kept living -> Maggie, totally original OC who can see ghosts. Magpieheart lives on as one of the stray cats that lives around Maggie's apartment and is attracted by her weird soul, her name is Marge (Named by Jenna, said in a Simpsons voice, Any Simpson), hes also a male cat but none of them know how to tell neutered males apart from females so they all refer to him as a female cat. Oops. This is also the cat Maggie gives to her parents after the plot concludes as a "Sorry I got murdered" gift

being raised by daryl dixon: part two

Masterlist!! Get added to my taglist!!

Being raised by Daryl Dixon masterlist!! Being raised by Daryl Dixon taglist!!

A/N: ty for all the love on part one!! mwah mwah!! i rlly wanna put it out there, the strong group bond exists! that just isn't the focus of this story so it does get skipped over a bit. also i apologise for this part covering such a short time span. did also change y/n to be feminine, it's needed for some of my later ideas to make sense, which you begin to see in this part. hope you enjoy!! <333

-S404

Warnings: Just normal TWD stuff! Also kind of a filler part, nothing too serious happens, just a ton of fun Dad Daryl moments!

Word count: 1.3k

After the ordeal at the highway, the group spent months travelling on foot. It was during this time your bond with Daryl really grew stronger. You had learnt not to complain about being hungry, or your legs being tired, but Daryl didn't need you to say it for him to carry you on his back and give you more rations than he could spare.

He spent a lot of time separate from the group, hunting whatever animals remained out there. He realised then, that he was doing this for the whole group because he cared about them, not just because he had to.

After a few weeks of travelling, the group reached a promising small town. Hershel was given the responsibility of watching over you whilst houses were cleared, as Daryl was out hunting. That day you got into an altercation with a walker which ended with a bite taken out of your sneaker.

When Daryl came back and Hershel informed him on the situation that day, everyone fell silent in the next room to hear what he would say. "I don't care if she didn't get bit ol' man. If she ever come back to me with a hair plucked out of her head, or god forbid an actual injury, whilst yer the one caring for 'er, you will never see the light of day again, yer hear me?" As Daryl walked into the room, everyone pretended to have not paid any attention.

Over the next few days, Daryl found you proper hiking boots and began teaching you basic knife skills. You told him you were jealous of Carl, because he could shoot, Daryl promised to teach you how to shoot when there was the leisure time and ammo to spare. He stayed around the group as much as he could until he was confident you wouldn't be found in that situation again if he was gone.

Back on the road, scouting out a grocery store, you found a box of pregnancy tests and gave them to Lori because you read the word "pregnancy" and thought of her instantly. She laughed and said "God I can't wait until we really settle down and get these kids learning again." Shortly after, her and Daryl got into an argument because he thought teaching you how to hunt was more important than teaching you how to read, because "Yer don't need to read 'rabbit' to kill it."

You felt much safer after arriving at the prison. As promised, the second working on the prison's security wasn't mandatory for him, Daryl began taking you outside of the perimeter to teach you how to shoot. You were such a natural that after a week of practise, Daryl could move onto teaching you what he really wanted to, hunting skills.

One day, you and Daryl were tracking a squirrel, and just as you were about to take a shot at it with his crossbow, you stepped on a stick and alerted the creature. As it started to scatter away, Daryl ran after it, eventually pinning it on the floor, letting you take the shot again, he knew how much it meant to you.

You were there to witness Lori's death, and it devastated you. You watched everyone piece themselves back together eventually, but you felt on edge constantly, feeling as though something like that could happen again easily at any given time.

You moved into Daryl's cell to make yourself feel safer. At first you snuck in during the night with your pillow and bear, and slept on the cold concrete floor. You woke up that morning tucked into the bed. The next night when you went to sneak in, you were welcomed by three stacked mattresses on the floor, with pillows and blankets on top ready for you. The two of you never said anything about it, but it became routine.

Daryl took on Judith very well, and you helped him look after her whilst Carl and Rick were grieving Lori. You loved the baby. Daryl left you with her once and came back to you telling her that she was "going to beat the world." He told you that "she'd only be learnin' from the best." That made you smile.

When Maggie and Glenn decided to give each other haircuts in the prison barber's, you begged Maggie to cut your hair like hers. Daryl said no because "you'd regret it, yer love your long hair don't ya'?" But really he just thought you'd look so much older with it cut, he didn't want you to grow up. When you told him it was annoying and got in your face all the time, he offered to braid it for you instead. He didn't know how to braid. He got Carol to teach him soon after the exchange, and prepped himself up heavily for the moment you finally came for him to do it.

You finally felt comfortable in the prison at night, so you started sleeping alone in your cell again, that was until Carl came to you one night asking if he could sleep on the floor, Judith was being too loud in the other cell block where he usually slept.

You and Carl spent the next day moving a second bed into your room, Daryl helped you on the condition you wouldn't tell Rick he was involved. You all ran and hid after dropping the mattress from the balcony which made Rick call out "What in the hell was that?" He walked into the silent cell block, but caught you all after Carl started giggling too loudly, Daryl bolted away from the scene and Rick chased after him. You were sore from laughing afterwards.

Daryl made Carol help him give you the boy talk that he felt was growing necessary. Carol gave you the entire talk whilst Daryl sat next to her occasionally grunting in agreement. The only contribution he made was when Carol stared at him, trying to get him to say something encouraging. He said "If a man... or a woman, up to you. If they ever try pull anything on you that yer don't like, you remind 'em who taught ya how to kill." As you looked at him mildly confused, Carol definitely regretted allowing him to speak.

For your thirteenth birthday, Carl recruited Daryl's help to bake a cake for you. They sneaked into Rick's farm to milk the cow and collect eggs. The milk was an easy grab, but they found there were no eggs at all. Daryl, in frustration, held a chicken at knifepoint, cursing at it to "scare it into layin' something." Carl just stared at him. They ended up surprising you with a chocolate bar instead.

You became aware of a prisoner being held hostage in the prison, no one would tell you what her business was being around in the first place, so you decided to speak to her yourself. Michonne explained Woodbury to you, about the Governer and what he would do if he knew the prison existed. But the information that shocked you the most was of Merle's survival.

You knew that if faced with his brother again, Daryl wouldn't know what to do with himself and he'd end up losing all the progress he'd made in the group. You had to look out for him just as he looked out for you. You had to kill Merle before Daryl even caught a whiff of his living existence.

||Drabble Summary||

Officer FireleoIt and Officer Iderum was helping out Joshua's prison where they just saw a fight being broken up. However it was due to the gang leader Inmate Ashley Butterfly. However, how did this come to be? Also, it seems a slight argument has happened between Officer Jaron and Officer Melinda so they are given space for a while. However, later on, he did go and check on her again but hopes to speak and say sorry. How will she react. Read to find out.

"Angel"Fallen, Joshua Star, and other members from his fraction mentioned and Jaron Jackal, Arion"Hellmare" Iderum, and Fira"Maggie" Fireleo belongs to my amazing Rp partner @demon-blood-youths

T-bone, Hiroshi Kai, Melinda brooks, and Ashley Butterfly are my oc’s that belong to me.

((Note: Their will be grammar mistakes and errors in this drabble as others have this warning. But like I state before, this is written for fun. So I hope you like it and my friend too. Enjoy))

In the main lunch hall, Warden Joshua Star was shocked seeing this but he was nervous seeing no one moved. Given the information from officer Vanessa that Officer Maggie was trying to calm inmate T-bone down but almost ended up burning everyone else. Right now, he was tense seeing the head gang member of T-bone calming him down.

Her name was Ashley Butterfly, gang leader of the Shallow butterflies. And baby sister to Rex oxford mIlls. A dark skinned woman with honey yellow eyes. She hand long black hair down her back while having a black choker around her neck. She was still wearing the prison jumpsuit but she was seeing T-bone relax while she pets his head. The other inmate, her second in command Hiroshi kai was beside her but seeing that he was fine.

"Goodness, you just had to go crazy again didn't you? I thought Ash told you to take it easy." He said to his teammate with T-bone grumbling.

"I was taking it easy! Not my fault some jerk tried to grope officer Maggie."

"But she thought you were trying to start something resulting in this." He said but he rolls his eyes to look away before he looks to Ashley before she stops.

"..A..Are you okay now?" she asked but T-bone nods to slowly stand up but bows his head.

"Sorry Ash...I didn't mean to lose it." he said grumbling but she only looks at him then down.

"I..It's fine..at least your calm now." she mutters quietly while holding some blanket around her that was kept with her at all times. The other officers, even officer Maggie and Officer Hellmare was silent not expecting to see this.

'Well, this is new. Seems it was true when the files spoke about Ashley being in this prison. I figure it was something of a older file...' Hellmare thought but she was seeing the inmate she was keeping an eye on Hiroshi standing by Ashley to insure she was safe.

As Ashley saw he was fine, she looks around seeing the other inmates tense but looks away before she looks down herself. "I..If everything is c..calm now, should we go back to eating l..lunch?" she asked her two teammates before they go and do that.

"H..Hey! You three can't just-"

"Let them go, Maggie. It's fi..fine." she stops hearing Joshua speak but looks to him. It was fine!? A fight just happened and he was alright with that!?

"I know what your thinking and honestly, it's still strange. At times, that inmate tends to help with calming things down. That or using her pants in herb medicine to do it-"

"Hold on, isn't she a demon?"

"Y...Yes, she is but she and warden Joshua have some agreement. That involves calming down the most violent inmates here in his prison." Eli said to the two.

"I see.." Hellmare hums to herself thinking about it but Maggie was still shocked.

"So you let her just go about in the prison?!" Maggie said to Joshua shocked.

"Well, no and even if I did, she stays in her cell. Out of all the inmates I've had, she's the less violent. Unless one don't anger her. She can be very dangerous when she is but most times, she's well...l..like that." Joshua saw Ashley sitting down now but slowly was eating her food now with the other two.

"It's a lot to take in we know. We were at first too when Joshua told us about her. Honestly, I see why most are afraid of her. Sweet and caring on the outside but hidden behind that is a dangerous person ready to lash out at anyone."

"Though, it leaves a question." Hellmare got the knights attention. "You said she was well known for her plants? Does this mean she also helps with medicine here?"

"Yes. We also heard from her file she was really good with plants, medicine, toxins, poisons, etc. She knows a few of them. I know because when we had a recent break out riot, Angel got heavily sick with something. Somehow, she knew what it was and made a medicine thanks to her doctor Hex. He's at Kinie's prison right now helping with the recent event that happened there." she explains.

Both Maggie and Hellmare didn't know that! Just how dangerous was this woman!? The two looks to Ashley again who was eating but her honey yellow eyes looked so empty but gentle at the same time.

"And I take it Joshua is the one assigned to keep a eye on her?" Hellmare said seeing him nod.

"Hon...Honestly, it's been alright. Even when she first came here, she didn't start any trouble or anything. I didn't know much about her till I got her file and the teams own. I heard they had another but their other member is in junior police headquarters. Given the fact she is the most calm here..it's..well..something." he said rubbing the back of his head.

"......."

"So even if a riot happens, I don't worry since she either tries to remain away or stop it." He said.

"..I.....geez." As Maggie thinks, it was time for the inmates to return to their cells. "Though, it also explains most of the men being scared of her?"

"Well, yes but theirs another reason.." the group looks seeing some male inmates admiring her but they were under some trance while behaving. "Because of her demonic nature, It was said she's a succubus too."

"A what!?" Maggie shouted.

"How could a succubus be here!? And around guys! You do know what they do to males if given the chance right!?" Maggie said. "What if one of them tries to hurt her given the fact that others or some of the officers are females too!?"

"Theirs another reason for that." Vanessa said but with arms crossed looking to Joshua.

"It's because Joshua made a pack with her to insure she don't eat anyone nor harm anyone. In return, she keeps him safe and the prison if needed be."

".......Eh?!?"

~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile with Jaron~~~~~~~~~~~

He was sitting outside taking time to clear his head. The jackals were around him worried. He has never yelled at her like that before but it was because of Bradley. He was the reason this happened and to his anger. Now he gone and made her upset. Right now, he was petting one silver lung dragon's head while it was curled up.

"..........." He looks about thinking again but that's when some inmates were still inside so it was just him out here. Clearing his head helps so it was something.

'*Sighs* I didn't mean to yell at you like that, Melinda. I hope your alright..' he thought to himself but one Jackal named Sid lays their head on his lap poking his hand. He blinks to look down but gently pets their head.

"I'm alright. I guess it's just not a good week for me is it?" he asked even if the other jackals were wagging their tails being giant puppies right now. They always want to ensure their leader was alright but happy too. Seeing him like this was unlike him.

However, he looks ahead again while seeing cars passing by the prison but his thoughts were still on Melinda. When he left he heard crying in her room but he didn't mean to upset her. He just was caught in the moment even feeling a bit down when going somewhere else before coming out.

~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

"Wait, so that's true?" Jaron asked to look at the window speaking with a doctor who had some medic results from the females under the aphrodisiac what was tested from one of the spiked cakes was positive.

"Though, it was one that had no smell to it. Even if another demon would sniff it out, you wouldn't be able to." he said showing the paper results to Jaron.

He reads them for a moment but looked worried. Even if he had his jackals sniff it out, they wouldn't find it?

"It's said this type has a effect on demons that it's harder to trace showing it is most used for demons in the case. So whoever eaten the cake wouldn't know." he explains. "It's been said this traces back from the black market but other troublemakers have copied the recipie."

"......"

Hearing this, he even calls Ophelia and she tells him the same even the other doctor Hex explains to.

"Yes, given that fact I'm shocked they measured it carefully. This type of plant is very very strong and very unstable even when it's put into food like that. They could have seriously made someone sick." Hex said on the phone while checking a sample of the plant they had there at Kinie's prison.

"So this plant was that deadly?"

"In short words yes. I already seen this sort of plant in action and the results were.....disturbing to explain. Even so, this plant should always be avoided because it heavily effects demons without them knowing, Mr. Jackal."

"I..I see.."

"Though, I can't believe that sort of plant was there in the first place but Dr. Hex said it was from the black market indeed before that business was taken down. This drug should have been destroyed way back." she said.

"I think I got ya." Jaron said looking at the ground still on the phone.

"Though, was their anything else Jaron?" Ophelia asked.

"No that was it. Thanks you guys." he said.

"Of course Jaron.." she said before the she hung up. Jaron lowers the phone but looks down to sigh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So even if he could have gotten it checked, he wouldn't know about the cakes being spiked. Even worse, Melinda didn't know. She nor the other female officers knew about this till it was too late. Looking down, he felt even more bad now and wanted to find a way to say sorry to Melinda. He looks quiet only to feel his jackals close around him with one licking his face that he chuckled to pet their head.

"Easy now. Like I said, I'm alright. I'm sorry that I am worrying you all now.." he said as they look to him even seeing the lung dragon floating up a little to boop his nose.

"And sorry for worrying you too. It's just I wanna be sure she's safe..even from the thought it worries me. I can't believe I yelled like that and I've always been known to keep my cool. That's so unlike me." he sighed shaking his head but he sees the others now around him but tilts their heads.

"Well....at least I got that jerk to learn I wasn't joking and will leave her and the other female officers alone." he mutters. "Though...seems they had to update security because of that and it only might get worse later down the road." he said and yet, he only remains focused with Melinda in mind. How was she doing? Was she alright? Right now, they needed time to clear their heads but looking down, he hopes to talk to her and hope to see if she was alright. Later this afternoon, he'll indeed check on her.

~~~~~~Timeskip: Later that afternoon around 3:45pm~~~~~~~

Jaron was back inside the prison seeing the inmates must have already eaten lunch since they were back in their cells. The guards were standing watch but insuring things were calm right now. However, he was heading back to Melinda's room to see if she was there or wished to speak. As he gets to the door, he knocks and waits.

"............"

No answer? He wonders if she was there but when he was about to knock again...

"Hello?"

".....Ummmm, Melinda? It's me, Jaron...."

"........"

He heard nothing from the other side but he hears a click, knowing the door was unlocked to show her. Melinda was standing there and it seems she was quiet while looking to him. Her arms were folded.

"Ummm....."

".....Yes?"

"I......*Sighs* M...may I come in?" he asked gently but she looks to the side but sighed to move so he can come inside. Jaron walks in but he saw her close the door. Everything seems the same except the tea stain on the rug from before. Before long, she turns to walk over and offers a seat for him on the couch while he walks over to sit down after removing his shoes but she was quiet while he was too.

The only noise heard was the ticking of the clock. They just sat in silence right now with one another that it leaves them unsure on how to talk. So, Jaron starts first.

"Melinda, I'm......Listen, I'm so sorry about what happened this morning. I didn't mean to shout or yell at you. I was just concerned about what happened that night. After what happened I just...felt really angry given the fact Bradley could have done something horrible to the women...and you." he looks down but she was listening to him.

"I know I shouldn't have yelled at you and I'm never like that. It was wrong of me to do that. I didn't mean the hurtful things I've said to you. I shouldn't have....." He shook his head with eyes closed to sigh but Melinda looks ahead but she was resting her hands on her lap.

"....I'm sorry too." he heard her speak but looks seeing her just looking to the wall. "I didn't mean to get mad at you either. In that way, you were right. I should have done better in picking up the drug in those cakes but I didn't know about it honestly. It was like it was masked so I couldn't detect it. Even now, I don't know even if I feel better with no side effects..it still upsets me that it happened."

"......." She was touching her shoulder where Bradley bit her but then sighed closing her eyes then opening them half way looking down. "I know the dangers and risks of being a officer as you do too. Their are things that will happen but even now we have to stay focused on it....." she said after that Jaron looks to see her grip her pants.

"But still....I got you worried over me because of that slip up. It makes me feel like I'm still keeping things from you huh? Even when we are older adults now...it still keeps happening." she said only to laugh at herself bitterly. It was like she was stupid for not noticing that but it wasn't her fault. Jaron knew that thanks to the doctors but she didn't know that.

"Melinda.." he reaches to almost touch her cheek to explain but stops to look. He saw tears running down her cheeks again that she was looking upset again.

"Even after I became I demon, I still act like I'm just as before when I was human. Heh, I bet it's so embarrassing to you huh? Having a partner that still tends to act like her old self." she laughed but she reaches up to clear some tears off but he sees her look in his direction. She was crying and yet, her eyes were closed with a small smile seen.

"I bet even now I look like some cry baby because of this. Even if I'm a demon I should have done better right? I should be smarter than this right? If that's the case then none of this would have happened...." She said but hicups now that Jaron said nothing but he only looks down hating to see her cry like this. Now he wishes that argument never happened. Even hearing the shouting in his thoughts, he wishes they would go away but he knew it would remain with him knowing that.

"Melinda....." Looks at her again frowning slightly.

"I'm s..sorry for being such a idiot Jaron...I'm so sorry.." she mutters but he had heard enough.

"Shhhhhh...shhhhh......" he was hushing her softly but gently, resting his hands on her own. Jaron then carefully pulls her to him so their foreheads were pressed against one another, their noses touching as well.

"It's not true. Your not a cry baby because of this. I know this job is dangerous for everyone and us. We know that dealing with dangerous criminals would do. What it might endanger us to." he said but his eyes were closed.

"I never meant to hurt you like this. I never wanted to be the one to make you cry like this." he said but she was shaking now only to him pulling back but kissing her forehead.

"B..but after all the things I shouted back at you. I don't deserve you. You..it's like I'm the reason you get angry. I'm the reason your a bit more violent now a days....was it because of me?" she asked.

"No no no no..it's never you. You never did anything wrong."

"B..but.."

"Melinda Brooks, the reason I got mad was because someone else tried to hurt you. I don't want another sick person harming you. True, I said I don't resort to violence but for my friends I can let it slide. For you, I would do that too. I'm how I am because I Just want you to be safe....and alive with me." he said looking to her.

"Even after our fight, that won't stop me from being at your side. You mean everything to me Melinda. Even with a argument that won't change anything...." he said now upset himself.

"......"

"I never wanted to say such horrible words to you and yet I did. I never wanted to show violence towards you. I never wanted to make you cry. I never wanted to cause anything that would make you not wish to be with me.." he said that he slowly looks down but as Melinda looks her own silver eyes widen. A few tears shows from his own eyes too?

"J..Jaron?"

"I know your a strong woman you showed me that. You care and loving to everyone you hold dear even me. Your not stubborn at all only if it involves helping and protecting others and me. You...your one of a kind to me Melinda and I don't want to lose that!" he said.

"........."

"I don't want to be the reason I lose the only woman that's been by my side for so long. I won't let that happen! I'm sorry I've said all those hurtful things to you but I do care about you. I want to stay by your side and I want you by my side too! I..I just......" Before continuing his words were stopped as he was pulled into a hug as Jaron was quiet while laying against her on the couch. She said nothing holding him close not wanting to let go of him. He knew tears were running down her cheeks.

".....M...Melinda-"

"........Please j..just....don't talk." she said now crying more. "L..Lets just be like this for a while...p..please......" she held him gently but he only remains quiet before wrapping his arms around her body not wanting to let go as he was crying too. He felt her hand stroking the top of his head since he didn't have the officer hat on.

"..I'm still so sorry Melinda..." He said.

".......I know..*sniffles* I'm sorry too. I'm so sorry Jaron for worrying you..." she said back.

"...It's fine. I forgive you...I hope you forgive me." he said softly but Melinda only closed her eyes.

"..I do..I forgive you." she said back softly. "And...I'll try harder to open up to you more, d..deal?" she said before Jaron looks to close his eyes.

"Y....yeah...Deal."

For now, he believes staying here with her is better for now till she calms down. And honestly, Melinda didn't mind that. The officers from before hopes things worked out but they informed warden Fin that officer Jaron is on break for a while till he is ready to come back.

They needed this for right now.

broke: girls on tv saying “i know how to fight because i have brothers”

woke: girls on tv saying “because i grew up surrounded by men, i have seen all of the horrors of humanity and nothing can scare me anymore.”

i think the funniest thing about jack and maggie is they did absolutely fucking nothing with maggie for there to be any specific implication of her relationship with him. like she’s just someone he cares about but with no feasible dynamic or development so you just cannot read them as a couple . this isn’t a boyfriend and girlfriend or silly little crushes. at the very best you can maybe read them as siblings, maybe wlw/mlm solidarity if youd be so inclined, but literally all it looks like is jack just latching onto some girl like a really big puppydog and going 𝕴 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚

[rtfics]

Celebrating the anniversary of one of my favorite Ships.

The Protege opened in theaters on August 21 three years ago.

If you're a Michael Keaton fan, you definitely want to see this movie! He's sexy and hot and flirtatious. As a Hapa woman I especially love seeing a man attracted to a Hapa.

And mine is still the only fanfic of it:

The Return on AO3.

Unmute all.

I adore this scene when Anna and Rembrandt meet for the first time. I mean, a hot older man who quotes Edgar Allan Poe, what's not to love?

And their "relationship" grows more interesting . . .
