I love you all immensely. Take care. 💖

Maris Street. You rarely go that way. It’s near the core of the town, closer to the west end where green hedges and white picket fences cordon off the suburban elite from the commoners like you. It suits him, doesn’t it? You assume this is what he’s used to.

The venom roils in your gut as you approach Oxford Drive. You stop before the sleek grey exterior. The black trims and large golden moniker in all caps add to the extravagant effect. Flowers boxes stand outside the windows that glow amber with rich ambience from within. The nicest place you ever went was the Korean Barbecue your dorm mate dragged you to; this is well beyond that.

You take a breath and look down at yourself. You’re still wearing the black jeans and plain tee you sport for your job. Former job. Your beat-up sneakers perfectly match your thrifted aesthetic and the purse strap twisted around your hand and wrist frays as if to assure everyone that you don’t belong.

You go to the front door and pull it open. You step inside to the low drone of stringy music and the subtle clink of glasses amid the low murmur of voices. You chew your lip as you approach the tall round desk where the hostess stands over the open reservation book, like some mystical keeper of scrolls. How very Skyrim of her.

She gives you a look, one you expect. You sniff and cross your arms, the strap of your purse further straining your circulation. You exhale and peek over at the dining room.

“Hi, I um...” your cheeks pinch as you find it difficult to speak. “I’m meeting someone.”

“You are?" Her skepticism drips from her voice, “are you certain they’re... here?”

“Yeah. I don’t know if he made a reservation or whatever. Obviously, I’m not a regular,” you snipe back. You’re too exasperated to hold back. You don’t need her judging you too. “Older, beard, uh, tall... Andy Barber. Is he in the book?”

She flutters her pretty lashes and looks down. You watch her. She’s a few years older than you. Tall, balayaged hair, slender, perfectly bowed lips. What about her? Or someone like her? Why wouldn’t he want that instead? Why is he bothering you?

“Barber,” she nods, “yes, he’s here.”

She seems surprised by that. She steps out from behind the desk and tells you to follow. You obey. You have to. This is all just pulling teeth. He has you toothless already.

You keep your head down as you trail behind her. You only look up as you sense a figure on the other side of her. Andy stands as you approach and you nearly choke. You want so bad to just turn around and run away.

A line deepens in his forehead and disappears. He smiles as the hostess waves you forward. He comes around to pull out the other chair before you can. You retract your arm and barely withhold your frustration. Can’t he understand you want nothing from him?

You sit stiff and fix your bag in your lap, slowly unwinding the strap from your wrist. The hostess promises a server will be with you soon and struts away. You stare at the table cloth and as Andy sits, darkening the edge of your vision, you turn to glare at the far wall.

You feel even more demeaned sitting there in your jeans in tea among the crystal and tall-stemmed lilies. The tinkle of the soft woodwind music makes your head buzz yet the smell of the food teases your empty stomach. Your eyes drift to a group of older women, laughing over wine, a symbol of what you’ll never be. Happy. Free.

“Thanks for meeting me. I guess you’ve never been here before,” Andy begins.

You shake your head and flick your eyes to the ceiling. You grit down on his words. Why is he acting like this is normal?

“Nice place, isn’t it?”

“Yeah,” you snap and look at him directly, nearly growling in his face, “very nice. Upscale. Well above me.”

You cross your arms and sit back, your purse strap still loosely clinging to your wrist. His chest rises and he exhales through his nose. He leans forward and his cheek ticks.

“I brought you here for dinner, so we could talk, get to know each other--”

“That’s not what I’m here for,” you insist, almost teary-eyed from your rage. You don’t like being angry. You’ve never been very good at and more times, you end up blubbering. “Kara, my friend--”

He tilts his chin up and sets his gaze firmly on you, “we’ll get to that.”

“No, now,” you hiss.

He huffs through his nose. He looks around, silently chewing his agitation. He sits up and replaces that manufactured smile as a server approaches.

“Good evening, can I get you started with drinks?” He asks, his dark shirt finely pressed and buttoned to the very top.

“No thank--” you begin.

“We’ll take a bottle of cabernet,” Andy interjects, “for the table. Oh, and could we get some fresh bread. This has been sitting out.”

The server acquiesces and takes the basket as Andy hands over the wine menu. You barely keep from rolling your eyes. You’re not here to eat and drink and be merry. Kara is quite possibly behind bars.

You glare at him and wait. The server leaves as you keep your arms folded, fingers clamped tightly. He looks at you as if there’s nothing wrong. As if this is all normal.

“I want to know what’s going to happen to Kara. You said you can help--”

“I can,” he says casually, “so let’s have a nice dinner and then I’ll do just that.”

“But she’s--”

“They’ll have her in holding, question her, then they’ll have to figure out charges, yada, yada,” he explains, “don’t worry, I’ll give them a call after, tell them my client is invoking her right to an attorney.”

Your chest thumps and your ears ring. He’s so confident. He already knows you can’t say no. Not to him or this dinner. You have to sit there and celebrate his victory that came with your defeat. It’s not right. It’s... it’s... deranged.

“Why?” You croak.

“Why?” He shakes his head.

“Why are you doing this? Why me? Why not someone... someone you can relate to? Someone your age?”

“Why you? You’re perfect, sweetheart. Perfect for me,” he coos, “come on, we get along. We did. I know I messed things up but it can’t change that we had fun. We did, didn’t we?”

You swallow and shrug. Those nights you stayed up and mined or raced or whatever, they were fun, they were nights you look forward to. But every single one was a lie.

“Sure, but... what if I’d lied to you? What if I wasn’t me? What if I was some guy in a basement--”

“You weren’t.”

“But what if--”

“I know you weren’t.”

“How could you know--”

“I just did. You’re so genuine, so... kind, that can’t be fake,” he insists.

You sink down, slumping your shoulders, and look away. What can you do? You’re exactly where you never wanted to be. With less options. With none.

“What do you want from me?” Your dry mouth crackles around your words.

He’s quiet as the server returns. He sits back and you lift your chin as you watch the server uncork the bottle. He pours the wine and Andy asks for a few more minutes with the menu. Again, you have no appetite.

When you’re alone again, Andy takes a breath and shifts in his chair. He brings his hands together, pinching his left ring finger as if he’s missing something. He quickly pulls his hands apart.

“You. That’s all I want,” he breathes.

You stare at him. You don’t understand. Maybe it’s because you don’t want to. If you keep denying it, it might not be the very idea that makes your skin crawl.

He reaches for his glass of wine and holds it out. You stare at it, then look him in the face. You can’t wipe the horror from your face.

“Cheers to us, sweetheart,” he says, “me and you.”

You shake your head as he waits. Slowly you take the glass before you and raise it. He clinks the crystal between you.

“It’s the first day of the rest of our lives,” he declares, “we can both build the home we always wanted. Together.”

🎮

Andy pays the bill as you wallow in futility. This is it. Your life is over. All because of one mistake. All because you trusted the wrong person.

He stands first and you follow. He grabs the to-go box of the food you barely touched. You’re in such a fog, you can barely think. He gestures you towards the door as he nudges you with the box. You hug your purse to your stomach and walk between the tables.

The cool night air wakes you up. As you come to the sidewalk, you stop. You turn back to him and wet your mouth, a hint of wine on your tongue.

“Call. Right now,” your voice shakes.

“What’s going on, sweetheart?” He inclines his head as if he doesn’t understand.

“The police. Call. You said you would help Kara,” you insist.

His brow arches and he nods. He holds out the container and you take it stiffly, letting your purse dangle from your shoulder. He pulls out his phone as he stares at you. Finally, he looks down and scrolls. He clears his throat before he puts it to his ear.

“Hi, yes, this is Andy Barber, I’m an attorney for a woman in your custody. Yes, I do.” You listen to the piecemeal conversation, “name is Kara Orascio. Yes, she won’t be talking to the police any longer. That’s correct.” He pauses and listens intently, “I’m out of town but I can be there tomorrow. Sure.”

He hangs up as his eyes cling to you still.

“So, looks like we need to pack,” he says.

“What?” You utter.

“Don’t you want to see your friend?” He challenges.

“Well, yes, but I thought you--”

“I’m not coming back here again. So, you’re coming. We’ll deal with your friend’s charges then we’ll go home.”

You blink, “home?”

“Sure, sweetheart, I got it all ready for you,” he turns down the sidewalk and takes your hand.

You have the urge to rip your hand out of his. You want to tell him not to touch you. You want to scream and run away. You don’t because you want to save Kara more.

“I meant what I said before. I can get you into school down there,” he guides you along, “you’ll like it. It's close to Boston. Place called Nelson. You ever been to Massachusetts?”

“Hm, no, didn’t travel much.”

“That’s okay. We can do some of that too. Still got lots of summer left. We could go somewhere sunny,” he drawls, “you know, it gets gloomy in the fall so we may as well enjoy it while we can.”

“Sure,” you murmur.

Your feet are heavy, your head too, every part of you just wants to give up. Haven’t you? Isn’t that what this is? You surrender.

“You okay, sweetheart?” He stops and lets go of you, fishing around in his pocket.

“I’m...” your vision narrows in; just like the moment you first met him. As Andy. As the real him. As the twisted man you just sold your soul to. “...tired.”

“Aw, yeah, well, it’s been a long few days. For both of us. You wanna come back to my hotel. The bed’s really cozy and the tub is deep. You could relax for the night before we gotta get on the road,” he offers.

You shake your head, “n-no,” you stutter. The last thing you want to do is be alone behind closed doors with him. “You said... pack. I should... do that.”

“Ah, I did. Alright, I’ll take you to your grandma’s. I’ll have to come early so we can get to your friend.”

“Right,” you agree coarsely.

“Trust me. I know how to handle cops,” he chuckles and pulls out his keys, unlocking the car right beside you. He opens the door and steps back, “I’ll call ahead. Get us a room as there too. I guess you’re going to want to catch up with your friend while we’re there. Might be a while before you see her again.”

You wince and look at him. A while. You look around at the street lights. You’re not unhappy. Leaving this place doesn’t matter to you but leaving Kara, possibly forever, that’s a knife in the chest. But forever is easier if you know she’s okay. If you know she doesn’t pay for your stupidity.

You nod and get in the car. You can’t speak. If you even try, you’ll bawl. The end is there, you feel it closing you in with the car door.

Delve into the Study (ch. 7 au)

A/N : Gah! Almost 3,000 words but I got it done baby!!! So sorry for the long wait on this one guys, but, Edward finally makes his debut! And for you Harry Potter fans, there's a massive reference from the first book near the very end! I hope you enjoy!

Another dawn was approaching over the horizon of Krÿztof village, Thomas was sitting atop his lookout perch of a beam while gazing down at the streets below, his blue cloak fluttered around his legs, yet he kept his exhausted gaze glued to the cobblestone below.

It has been nearly a whole week since Thomas or the other Brotherhood members had seen or heard word about Hannah’s whereabouts, but something seemed to be stirring up in the air that everyone in the village could sense. Over the last few days, unwanted Royal intrusions have begun to spiral out of control, bashing into or invading poor folk homes or huts, yet no one knew the reason why, and if they were to use their tongue they were beaten to the ground.

Thomas sighed as he seated himself down on the wooden support beam, letting his dirty feet dangle over the edge, the young man looked up towards the early morn sky and seen a flock of Gëëslyr’s flying north, Thomas couldn’t help but let a sweet memory cloud his mind, he remembered when he was caring for Percy a few weeks ago, whom had fallen ill with a common head cold and Thomas had went to go fetch some tea for his best friend.

When Thomas had returned back, he heard giggling coming from Percy’s quarters, when the midnight haired boy peeked into Percy’s room, he saw Hannah reading to his sick friend, Thomas watched as Hannah read from the book in her hands, the words danced smoothly from her lips and Percy listened intently, his bright green eyes shimmered in awe; Thomas couldn’t read aloud like what Hannah could.

Thomas felt a smile tugging at his lips and he leaned against the crooked doorway, watching the two mingle and chortle in a heartwarming harmony. Hannah soon finished the chapter she silently closed the book, she glanced over her shoulder and seen Percy sleeping soundly in his bed, the white cloaked girl smiled gently before she blew out the candle resting on the top of an old nightstand.

When Hannah stepped out of Percy’s quarters she accidentally bumped into Thomas, who was standing just outside of the doorway, “oomph! Mind where you’re standing Thomas!” Hannah joked with a grin on her face, though Thomas just grinned mischievously. “I saw you reading to him Hannah,” and narrowed his blue gaze, the young woman gulped and rubbed the back of her neck nervously, “I was just doing him a favor is all,” she replied sheepishly, Thomas chuckled while rolling his eyes playfully, “I know,” he shrugged, “but it was nice of you to do that for him so…thank you for that,” and Thomas flashed her a nervous grin, Hannah smiled back with a faint line of blush on her cheeks.

Some children’s laughter suddenly caught Thomas by surprise, the young man opened his drowsy eyes and seen a pack of kiddies playing in the street below, a lazy smile curled at the corners of Thomas’ lips before loud excited chatter erupted below him. Thomas jumped before he scrambled to his feet, rushing down the awkward steps to see the twins tackling and tussling with a familiar white cloaked figure.

Hannah’s head suddenly popped up from the commotion, her long and beautiful balayage hair seemed to capture every particle of light, Thomas felt his heart thump in his chest before he shook the feeling aside. “Yer finally back Hannah!” The twins squealed excitedly, and the young woman rolled her eyes playfully before rising to her feet, somehow slipping out yet another golden laced sack, the twins leapt up like excited dogs before the young girl dropped the baggage, Ben and Bill both squealed and chattered as they tore it apart, frantic to get the prize of silver pieces hidden inside.

“So, how’s it been going here without me?” Hannah suddenly asked, catching Thomas by surprise, the young man tugged at his cloak before he answered, “well, something is definitely up the Royals asses,” he growled before the twins both scolded him for cursing, “you’re gonna get into trouble!” They taunted and Thomas flashed them a glare, silencing the two tricksters in a single shot.

“Over the last week they keep getting closer and closer to the hideout, me and Ryan have done what we could with leading them away, but that’s not working anymore either,” Thomas sneered, silently cursing the entire royal family. When he looked up, he seen something flicker in Hannah’s eyes before she looked towards one of the many clusters of junk, Thomas glanced over to the twins and made a motion with his fingers, they both left without a word leaving the two older teens alone for the time being.

“Hannah,” Thomas said a bit sternly and seen the white cloaked girl jump, she whipped her gaze back to his, “you need to tell me, you need to tell me who hurt you,” and edged closer, his gaze was serious though Hannah nervously dipped her eyes, “just leave it alone Thomas…” she muttered though Thomas shook his head, “no way! You’re a member of the Brotherhood Hannah, no one hurts one of us and gets away with it!” Thomas pressed further before he gripped onto the girls’ arms, his eyes bled for her to tell him the truth. “Just drop it, Thomas! And let me go!” Hannah protested a bit though Thomas refused to release his grip, “Hannah-“ but he was cut short, “LEAVE IT ALONE THOMAS!!!” Hannah suddenly roared and ripped herself away, glaring with her soft golden brown orbs.

The two stared with a stiff tension in the air, Thomas blinked, shocked by the young woman’s sudden change in tone, Hannah continued to glare before she turned her attention back to the various clutters of junk, “where’s the scroll?” She asked next, Thomas blinked with appalled eyes, he bit his tongue before answering, “s-somewhere over there,” he pointed and the white cloaked girl suddenly went to work, tossing aside various objects and clutter while Thomas still stood off to the side, wondering what possessed her now.

“Did you change at all while I was gone?” Hannah asked while lugging up a huge crate before shoving it aside, her gaze brushed over different items before they landed on a familiar yellowed script. Thomas now twisted a confused brow, “not really? Why? What for?” Thomas peered over Hannah’s shoulder as she blew off some dust that had collected on the strange parchment, “I found someone who could tell us more about this damn thing,” she muttered before gesturing for him to follow, Thomas blinked before he followed the impatient girl.

Ben and Bill were just outside of the Brotherhoods hideaway when Hannah busted out from behind the drawn cloth with Thomas following closely behind, he jerked his chin for the twins to follow as well. Hannah kept her gaze glued straight ahead as she led the boys through the Gallows, but they’d stop occasionally to give a poor soul or kids some silver pieces before going on their way.

“Who’s this guy yer so eager teh see?” Bill asked while Ben walked briskly right on the other side of the white cloaked figure, “I happened to stumble upon this merchant shop a few days, the owners name is Edward, and he’s an ex-adventurer,” Hannah remarked before she rounded a turn, keeping the scroll hidden under her cloak as they passed by a small group of Royals, refusing to make eye contact at all.

As Hannah continued to lead the way the group also came across Percy and Ryan, soon the entire Brotherhood boys all followed behind the young woman, till they came to a stop right outside a rather worn-out looking shop. The group all lowered their hoods as they gazed in wonder, Hannah wrapped her knuckles on the sun touched counter and they all heard someone shuffling inside the room above. “Hold on! Hold on!” An older male voice called, and the young men and woman watched as an older gentleman rushed down a set of squeaky steps, the mans’ long and dark grey hair was tied into a pony while he fidgeted with his workers apron around his waist, his beautiful blue waistcoat peeked out from behind the ugly brown garment.

When the older man lifted his aged gaze he beamed, “oh! Why, hello Hannah!” Edward smiled before he adjusted his round set of glasses resting low on the bridge of his nose, his pale blue eyes then noticed the other young men and he beamed even wider, “and you brought some friends with! How delightful!” Edward chirped before he gestured for the group to enter the shop, “please, do come in! I just put some tea on the stove, and it’ll be ready shortly!” Edward smiled kindly as he guided the small group to a larger room filled with shelf after shelf of books and parchments, the boys all glanced around before seating themselves on the surprisingly nice furniture.

“It’s been so long since I’ve had the pleasure to have this much company! Please do make yourselves comfortable and I’ll fetch the freshly brewed tea!” Edward smiled before excusing himself to the stairwell nearby, the twins then glanced at each other before they started to whisper, “well, he seems polite,” Ben commented, “yeah, a little too polite if ye’ ask me,” though they were roughly shoved by Ryan, who glared with deep blue eyes, “will both of you act descent for once!” The violet cloaked boy scolded; the twins grumbled while crossing their arms with a pout on each of their faces.

Thomas glanced around at the hundreds of books that lined the rich oaken shelves and deep red colored walls, a few lanterns were alight and rested atop a small table located near the corner of the room. Edward then came bustling back into the room with a cute platter of teacups and tea pot, though the boys all began to stare when they noticed that Edward had changed his apron, the bright pink stood out bold and strong with a cute, embroidered heart resting over his bosom.

“So, what are all your names then?” Edward asked politely as he set to work, pouring the scalding hot liquid into separate teacups, carefully handing each Brotherhood member their own separate dish. “I’m Percy!” The chubby young boy suddenly blurted with bright green eyes, “I’m Ryan,” the deep blond bowed his head respectfully before shooting the two twins a glare in warning, “we’re Ben and Bill!” They replied happily though Edward looked between the two with a puzzled look, “I’m Bill!” Said Ben cheekily, “and I’m Ben!” Bill chimed in next, only puzzling poor Edward even more.

Thomas rolled his eyes before he pointed, “please excuse them Edward, those two are always pulling pranks like that!” He said in a displeased tone, “just look at their pierced ears, Ben’s left ear is pierced while Bill’s right ear is pierced,” the twins then wailed in complaint before Edward let out a humored chuckle, “ah, that’s quite alright young man,” Edward replied kindly as he handed Thomas a cup of tea, “and what is your name then?” The dark grey-haired man asked politely, the blue-eyed boy smirked, “I’m Thomas,” he grinned and took the cup of tea from Edwards hands.

“So, you’re the leader of the Brotherhood, yes?” Edward asked so suddenly Thomas nearly spat out his drink, he gave the older man a displeased look before he sighed, “yes,” before he took another sip of tea. “You have nothing to worry about Thomas, Edwards pretty good with keeping secrets~” Hannah piped up and gave the older man a wink, Edward chuckled before he seated himself in a grand leather chair, picking up his own teacup and sipped the piping hot treat.

“What brings you to my shop today my dear Hannah? Were you in the mood for another one of my grand tales?” Edward asked eagerly though he noticed the younger beings all glance at each other with uneasy stares, “n-not today, Edward, we need your help with something,” and Hannah reached into her white cloak, pulling out the yellowed parchment and held it out for Edward to grab, “we need your help with this,” and the balayage girl held her steady gaze.

Edward set down his tea before he leaned over and grasped the scroll, but when his fingers enclosed around the faded yellow his pale blue eyes widened in perplexed awe. The older man held back a gasp, and the others all stared in wonder and confusion, Edward cleared his throat before he stood directly up with a tight smile on his lips, “would you all please follow me to my study?” He asked with a strange tone to his voice, the Brotherhood members all quickly followed behind the silver fox down to the basement, Edward locked the thick wooden door before he lit several candles, and the warm yellow light danced off the room’s walls.

The Brotherhood boys and girl all watched as Edward tediously laid the scroll open upon his huge desk, his eyes were wide with amazement and an eager grin began to stretch across his handsome face, “I’ve only heard tales about this…” Edward muttered as he continued to gaze downwards, the others all exchange looks or glances, “what do you mean Edward?” Percy peeped up while standing alongside of Thomas, the older gentleman looked up with starstruck eyes, “this…this scroll, my dear Percy…it changes everything.” And grinned with amazed eyes.

“Where did you say you got this from again Hannah?” Edward asked in a baffled tone, all eyes then turned towards the girl cloaked in white, the young woman stifled a cough before she looked away, “I-I bought it for a couple silver pieces from a traveling merchant, h-he never told me his name either,” and flashed a shy grin at the older man, Edward shook his head in disbelief before he scanned everyone in the room, stroking his long lock of hair that didn’t get caught in his ponytail.

“Have any of you heard of Mæjįck?” Edward daringly spoke though the younger kids all looked back, confused, and unsure, “Mæjįck? What’s Mæjįck?” Percy asked so innocently, it caused Edward to let out a breathy chuckle, “my apologies, that word is so ancient it has almost been forgotten,” the older man spoke smoothly though there was a quiver of excitement in his voice, “would you all care to hear the tale of how this world came to be?” Edward asked sweetly and everyone’s eyes lit up, “yes!” They all announced joyfully, and the older man grinned delightfully.

“But first, did anything happen the day that you purchased this, Hannah?” Edward asked next and the young girl shrugged, “not really, well…” she trailed off when her eyes locked with Thomas’s, the young man sighed before he spoke, “that scroll did do something to me,” he spoke in a hushed tone, Edward tilted his head with a curious gaze, “did something, like what?” Edward pressed forward, grabbing onto a poking prong for the fireplace resting against his desk, but Thomas was too busy looking away that he never noticed.

“I-it made me glow…a-and it really hurt when I touched it too!” Thomas fretted as he ran his hands through his hair, which sifted silently through his fingers before flopping back into its fluffy appearance. Edward was eerily silent as he came to a stop, Thomas looked back up just in time to see the older man swing the metal poker right for his head, the sky blue-eyed boy felt his heart thump and he threw his hand up, and in that sudden moment the small triangular shapes began to adorn his face and his skin instantly became grey, Thomas felt himself gasp for breath when he caught the poker just inches from his face, the other Brotherhood members all gasped in awe and Edward smiled warmly.

“Aha!” The silver fox gasped, “I finally meet one after such a long, long time,” and he grinned softly, Thomas blinked as he lowered his arm and gazed at his now grey flesh, “now hold on a moment,” Ryan suddenly spoke, “what do you mean by that Edward? Seeing one what?” Although Edward only smiled in return, “what I mean, my dear Ryan, is that this scroll,” and he gestured to his desk behind him, “this scroll is the reason for Thomas’ strange appearance,” but Thomas only shook his head in disbelief, “I’m not getting what you’re trying to say, Edward,” he said rationally, “are you saying that damned scroll changed me into this?! A glowing rock?!” But Edward suddenly laughed, throwing everyone a curve ball.

“No! No! Thomas! I meant that it ‘awoke’ something deep inside of you,” the older man grinned with his glasses shining, the Brotherhood boys and girl all glanced at each other some more, puzzled even more, “Awoke?” Thomas spoke, “awoke what?” He sneered before Edward suddenly clapped his hand over the younger boy’s shoulder, “Thomas,” the silver fox gazed down with gentle eyes, “do you realize what you actually are?” Now Thomas was even more puzzled, “I’m human! I’m human…aren’t I?” And he glanced behind him, Percy gazed back with big green eyes and the others gazed back as well.

Edward remained silent as Thomas licked his lips, “if I’m not human…” he spoke lowly, “then…then what am I?” And he looked up to see Edward beaming proudly, “you’re a Shiâfier Thomas,” but the young man shook his head, not understanding what that strange word even meant, while the other Brotherhood members whispered and muttered in awe. Thomas twisted his face in utter confusion, “I’m…I’m a what?” He uttered before Edward leaned down, his aged eyes peeked over the rim of his round glasses as he stared with an earnest gaze, “you’re a Shiâfier, Thomas.” And he grinned proudly.

Highlight Hair Color Maintenance Tips: How to Keep Your Highlights Fresh and Vibrant

If you’re looking to transform your look with a stunning blend of shades, ombre highlights might be the answer. This coloring technique has become a staple in New York City salons for its versatile, low-maintenance style that allows for a natural yet eye-catching gradient of color.

What Are Ombre Highlights?

Ombre highlights create a gradual transition in color, typically from dark roots to lighter ends, giving a sunkissed, multidimensional effect. Unlike traditional highlights, which focus on lighter streaks throughout the hair, ombre highlights focus on a seamless shift in color intensity. This look is perfect for those seeking a bold change while maintaining a natural vibe.

Finding the Best "Highlights Near Me" in New York

With NYC as a hub for innovative hair trends, finding a stylist who specializes in ombre and other highlights is easy. Searching for highlights near me is a quick way to locate reputable salons in your area that offer this in-demand service. Salons in New York often have experienced colorists who can create customized ombre highlights tailored to your unique hair color, texture, and style preference.

Popular Types of Highlights: From Sunkissed to Balayage

New York's hair scene offers a variety of highlight techniques, each bringing a unique effect to your hair:

Sunkissed Highlights For a natural, radiant look, sunkissed highlights mimic the effect of sunlight on hair. Stylists apply subtle, lightened strands throughout the hair, creating a soft and subtle effect that resembles a day at the beach.

Balayage Highlights Balayage, a French technique meaning “to sweep,” involves hand-painting highlights onto the hair. This method provides a soft, blended look that’s perfect for those wanting low-maintenance, long-lasting color.

Highlights for Dark and Blonde Hair Highlights can be adapted to suit any base color, enhancing both dark and blonde hair in different ways. For dark hair, caramel or honey-colored highlights can add warmth and depth. Blonde hair benefits from icy or platinum highlights, creating a chic, dimensional look.

Choosing the Right Highlight Hair Color for Your Style

Choosing the best highlight color depends on several factors, including your skin tone, eye color, and personal style. For a dramatic contrast, darker hair with light blonde ombre highlights creates a bold, modern look. On the other hand, warmer tones, like caramel or chestnut, create a softer, natural appearance.

If you have long hair, ombre highlights can be particularly striking as the gradient effect has more room to develop, showcasing a full spectrum of tones. For shorter hair, lighter ends paired with darker roots can create a playful, edgy look that brings depth and definition.

Caring for Ombre Highlights

To keep your highlights looking fresh, use color-safe shampoos and conditioners and schedule regular touch-ups with your stylist. Deep conditioning treatments help maintain the health of your hair, keeping it shiny and vibrant. Your stylist may also recommend purple shampoo to maintain the brightness of lighter highlights.

Why New York Loves Ombre Highlights

The allure of ombre highlights is their ability to adapt to individual style preferences, making them a favorite among New Yorkers. Whether you want a bold contrast or a subtle gradient, ombre highlights offer endless possibilities.

If you're in New York and are ready to find your perfect highlight near me, start by visiting trusted salons that specialize in ombre and balayage techniques. A skilled stylist can help you find the right combination of shades and application methods for a truly personalized look.
