[ineffableuser]

idk, it would strangely fit the whole situation

[hiramaris]

Welcome

Hi! You can call me Hira! To be honest, I'm not even sure why I'm even bothering to put something like this since I'll probably be busy for the next months or so but yeah, I'll just put it right here in case I'll ever accept any future requests or something.

Characters I write for:

So far I can probably write for any characters in Duskwood and Stardew Valley. Preferably for female characters 😉

This could change tho in the future if I ever decide to expand my writing for other fandoms (believe me, I read a lot of fics of other fandoms but that doesn't mean I'll be good at writing the characters. I prefer knowing how to write them first before starting any fic)

What Genre, Troupe, and Type of Fiction do I write, and plan on writing?

I'm open to all genres (fluff, angst, hurt and/or comfort, etc.) aside from any Dark themes, sorry.

Open to any available troupe out there except for cheating and anything that surrounds it.

I can do AUs, canon divergence, and canon compliance.

I just don't really do smut or any NSFW but anything above can be doable if I try.

Things I have written so far:

Dusk til Dawn (Jessy x Gender Neutral MC) - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, Part 11, Part 12, Part 13, Part 14 — COMPLETE

Dusk Fragments (Jessy x Gender Neutral MC) - #1, #2, #3

Kiss It Off Me (Haley x Fem!farmer) - Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 , Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6 , Chapter 7, Chapter 8— ONGOING

[lyon-amore]

Au in which Jake and MC knew each other before the events of Duskwood and were a couple. MC is my character. Events based on chapter 4

    He took out his phone after being told that what they were doing was dangerous. He needed to calm down.

    It hurt because it was true. And also, because he couldn't drag her with him. That's why he left that night. To protect her from him.

     He looked at the photo he had with her on his phone. It was one month before he had to flee. When everything was much calmer. Happier. He didn't even know why he hadn't deleted it like the others, he had even forgotten that it was the only one he had left on his phone. That photo had never come to light. They both took the photo to joke with each other wearing those headbands with rabbit ears that a friend of hers had bought for a group costume with her friends for Halloween. He remembered putting it on his head, laughing. Joking with each other. Remembering why he fell in love with her.

     A smile appeared on his lips. A sad one.

     He ran his thumb through his girlfriend's hair? Was she still? According to her, she no longer had a boyfriend. Or perhaps she had told him this as a joke because she knew it was him? Maybe Macie knew he was the same Jake she'd dated from the conversations they'd shared on the phone. Many of the things they had talked about were things she knew about him: His hobbies, his taste in movies, his favorite animal... He must have had at least one suspicion.      Jake hadn't even broken up with her, he just left one night, without saying anything. Disappearing in everyone's lives. Of her life. Without a farewell. He abandoned her. He wondered if she hated him for doing it. She was the only person who truly trusted everyone he had ever had around him, and yet, he couldn't risk her in the danger that he alone had put himself in.

    When she wanted to speak in their second conversation, he saw that he had a chance to do it again, wanting to give her a little clue about that night when he decided to break that barrier that he had put up to not want to fall in love with her because he saw it in a bad way.

   “If you had to take something to a desert island, what would you take?” He remembered her voice and her smile, a contagious one.

    Macie had approached Jake while they were both waiting for each other's friends. He had always avoided talking to her and Macie at least wanted to have a good friendship with him if he didn't want to date her.

   "I do not know," he shrugged, not knowing what to answer. No one had ever asked him that question. “I guess I would take my computer with a flash drive to connect to the WiFi network remotely.”

   “Can I go to that island? Surely you will need someone to comment on all the series and movies you watch.”

    He rolled his eyes at her self-invitation.

   "I did not tell you that you were invited," he replied while leaning on the bar table with a malicious smile.

   “So you were going to reject me?”

     No. He didn't reject her. Not that night and not the next.      It was strange that someone he had met five years ago, his way of seeing her had changed. He saw her with different eyes. He no longer saw Hannah in her. He saw a different person.

    It was a curious thing how they had gotten along so well. Together they had been a team. Macie cared about his opinion and had listened to him when he had a problem and if it was about computers, something she didn't understand, but she always looked for a way to help, perhaps her methods were crazy, but it made him laugh. And he did the same. He listened to her problems and complaints about her part-time job and helped her how to do his university work better and, at the same time, listen to her fanaticism for her series and movies. He didn't understand it either, but he liked to see how her eyes sparkled when she talked about them.

     And Macie also listened to him talk about everything he liked and always watched his movies or series with curiosity. Even video games. He remembered when she would sit on his lap while he played and she would encourage him to defeat some boss or she got so involved in the stories that she even insulted the villains or cried during the emotional scenes. Her reactions were adorable.

     Both gave and both received. She had even gotten along well with his friends and it didn't bother her that he was with them sometimes, since she also had her space when she was with her friends.      And, when they met up, it was as if they hadn't seen each other in years. He really loved her like he had never loved anyone.

     He still remembered when her parents accidentally caught them in her apartment on a surprise visit. They wanted to take their relationship slowly before meeting her parents, but that changed when he couldn't hide anywhere.      Her father didn't like him, but what father doesn't like his daughter's boyfriend? But unlike her mother, she accepted him quickly.

     But he had changed the day he disappeared from his life.      All that joy had disappeared, he chose solitude. He knew it was better to isolate himself and not have anyone near him so they would be safe.

    “I keep wondering what made you fall in love with me,” he told her once they were in bed, tracing circles on her bare shoulder. His voice had sounded muffled. Jake didn't look himself anything special, much less after his last relationship.

   “Are you really wondering that after a year of dating?” Macie looked at him with a smile, snuggling into his body. She traced the outline of his face with her finger, tickling it. “I can see in your eyes that you are a good person Jake, you are always willing to help everyone and the day we met, you behaved very well with me” Little by little, Jake began to smile, listening to her words. His heart was beating fast as he saw how her face lit up talking about him. “You don't know how happy I was to meet again, I thought I would never find the man who made me know that love exists again.”

      He was surprised to hear those words. If it was really true, he felt proud to be the first man he fell in love with.      He lifted her chin a little, kissing her slowly.      After parting their lips, he whispered.

   “I am glad to have met a true angel who has made me happy after years of not knowing what that word meant.”

They both belonged to each other. They had to be patient to take the step, but they immediately connected. If reincarnation existed, they were sure that in some other life they must have been together too, because such a great attraction seemed crazy to them.

     Jake leaned his head back, letting out a sigh. He didn't understand how Hannah had made them meet again like that.      Plus Macie had never met Hannah in person or communicated with her without him knowing. She also hadn't seen any photos of her that he remembered. Since they talked about everything. There was nothing they hid from each other.

    Except for his hacks into the most important files that existed in the country.

 "Don't worry, Jake, whatever your decision, I'm going to support you." Macie took his hands, caressing them lovingly. “If you don't want to, you don't have to tell her.”

     For the first time he had told someone the story of his mother and father, how he had sisters he had never met.      He didn't go into much detail explaining their names, but he did go into how happy he felt to talk to one of his sisters years ago and that unfortunately, he had to cut all connection with her.

   "Sometimes I feel like I am a terrible person for not having told her." His words sounded like a whisper and at the same time, as if he were stabbing himself with them. What he had always wanted was to be able to have contact with his sisters, but he knew it wasn't a good idea. “And I am sure he would be a terrible brother to them.”

    Macie placed her hands on his face and smiled at him. It was a smile that showed affection.

   "You would never be a terrible brother, I have seen how you take care of your son's boss when he stays with us because he is busy, you are a great big brother to every child who feels alone" He looked at her eyes. They showed sincerity. She really meant it “Maybe not now, or maybe not tomorrow, but the day you find yourself ready to enter their lives, I will be there to support you.”

   “Promise?” He took her hand lovingly and kissed her palm “Will you be there?”

   "I will always be there," he saw how she blushed from that kiss, he couldn't help but smile when he saw it. “Through the good and the bad, I will always be by your side, Jake.”

   "I also want to be there for everything you need, Macie, I am never going to leave you."

   “Promise?” She tried to imitate his voice and he laughed.

   “Promise, angel.”

     Did that count as the first lie he'd told her since they'd been together? Because in the end, he couldn't fulfill it in the hardest moment in her life, sharing the same feeling as when he was little and experiencing the same thing.      He felt bad when he had to talk to her again, remembering that he wasn't by her side when that car accident happened in which only she survived. It hurt him to have read that news and not be able to contact her directly. Not being able to say that everything was going to be okay, that he would be with her supporting her.

    Yes. Macie probably hated him for leaving without saying a word. For leaving her alone. For not having kept the promise.

     And surely also because of that last conversation. Maybe she thought he didn't like the idea and years later thought it was just another lie, when in reality, he was happy that she cared about his opinion.      Macie wanted him to be part of something special, although with her, he already felt that way.

    They were returning to their apartment while walking. He had lent her his jacket and she looked small with the garment on. A few minutes earlier, she had joked that she was wearing a giant's garment, raising her arms in a funny way. Jake didn't know it, but thanks to him, Macie brought out her funny side, always wanting to get a laugh from her boyfriend.

   “Jake…” the young woman's voice sounded almost like a murmur.

   “What is wrong, angel?” Jake squeezed her hand lovingly, smiling at her.

    Macie was thankful it wasn't so brightly lit that she didn't see his cheeks blush every time he called her that. She liked the nickname, yes, but she still couldn't get used to it, it felt like a nickname that was too big for her.

   "There's... Well, there's a party tomorrow at Valley of Silence..." She intertwined her fingers with his, nervously. But from her voice, she could tell "And my mother wants you to come because it's... familiar."

    They stopped walking. Jake was surprised by what she was implying: That he already belonged to the family. Or that was what he had understood.

   "I told her that I should talk to you first because it's clearly talking about something important." Macie started playing with the buttons on his jacket, trying to stay calm as she explained, Jake just watched her as she explained. “Since it's about introducing my boyfriend to the rest of my family, not just to—“

    Jake couldn't help himself and placed his hands on her face, leaning in to kiss her. He liked that she had thought about how he would feel about this proposal and that it was a big step for their relationship. He already knew how important her family was to her and that she wanted to share it with him was something special.

   “Do you know how happy it makes me that you ask me?” He asked her, with a big smile.

   “I haven't asked you anything yet.” Macie frowned, noticing the warmth of his hands mixing with the heat of her cheeks. “Would you like to accompany me?”

   “I would accompany you to the end of the world,” his response came out with a laugh.

   “You don't have to exaggerate so much either,” she rolled his eyes, letting out a weak laugh.

    Jake clicked his tongue and hugged her. She looked up, her eyes shining with happiness.

   "I am not exaggerating," he carefully brushed her bangs, slowly lowering his fingers down her face, caressing her. “you have made me want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

   “Really?” He compared her excitement to that of a little puppy. Her smile was so wide that she couldn't help it.

   “Really…”

    The feeling he had with her was of belonging to a home. They might not have been together more than three years, but those two years had been some of the best he had experienced with her. And he wanted them to last, for that happiness to continue to exist forever.

    They arrived at the apartment, and stood kissing on the street. I was grateful that no one was there or they would have been embarrassed.

   “Try not to stay up late working on the computer, Mr. Computer Technician,” Macie joked, playing with the straps of his sweatshirt.

   "Do not worry, I will not, but do not stay up studying either, you have to rest, you promised today," he kissed her forehead and she nodded afterwards.

    They both made sure they had their well-deserved rest. They knew they had no limit when they had to work on important things and they reminded themselves that sometimes they were human.

   "Does that mean I can spend the rest of the night watching Damon?" She raised her eyebrows with an amused smile.

   “Only if you think of me when you go to bed,” Jake whispered in her ear, and Macie's body trembled with emotion.

   “I always do it.”

    The young woman's mischievous smile now made him nervous. Macie laughed, giving her another kiss on the lips.

   "So... Are we going to pick you up at your apartment tomorrow or are you coming here?" She separated, approaching the door, taking off her jacket to return it to him.

   “I will come early and this way you prepare me for what I will find,” he took the garment and put it on. He avoided smelling it knowing that he would be intoxicated by her perfume.

   "Yes, because there is a lot to prepare for, I'm still not used to it and I've known them all my life," she joked and Jake laughed. “Tomorrow at eleven then come.”

   "I will be here promptly," again, he left a kiss on her lips, then on her forehead.

    What a shame that was the last time he was able to see her.

     All those memories came back as soon as he saw that photo. A simple photo that reminded him that he and her had had a happy life together, although not for long.      Was it good to reconnect, after having rejected her and saying that he was that Jake she had been dating for two wonderful years? Was it good to tell her and see if she would accept him back into her life?

    It was not good. After having broken so many promises and hurt her, he didn't deserve her to love him again.

     He pressed the photo and hit the delete button. The question of whether he wanted to do it or not made him hesitate.      He looked at the photo and those memories that had returned did not leave his mind. Again, that feeling of happiness had returned after meeting her again. Once again, wanting to have a normal life with her had returned. He wanted to repay the pain he had caused during those four years that he had not been with her, wanting to explain everything to her. Maybe she wouldn't forgive him, but at least his conscience would be clear.

    He licked his lips and pressed the 'Cancel' option, squeezing the phone tightly. Macie was the only thing he really cared about in this world, apart from his sister, but the feeling was different, it was about having shared so many things that had made him feel alive for the first time in a long time, about finding that person who had made him happy. And now that she had returned to his life, he wanted to be selfish and give a chance to what perhaps destiny had done: Bring them back together.

     He opened the chat and looked at the last message he had sent. Would he be able to talk to her again? He had hurt her and maybe she would be angry for not telling her from the beginning that it was him.      The atmosphere was still quite heated.      He took a deep breath and wrote. At first he hesitated, but he hoped those words would serve as a start to starting a real conversation. ---------------------------------------------------------

Jake Macie. I am your Jake. ---------------------------------------------------------

    He waited for her to answer, although those words might leave her confused and make it seem like he was laughing at her.

    He watched as she began to write and his heart skipped a beat. ---------------------------------------------------------

Macie You’re not my Jake… You're my idiot And I’m telling you this by not telling me from the beginning, I already knew it was you from our conversations And you owe me a big explanation But for now, I'm angry 😠 So don’t expect me to answer you now Moron … I missed you so much… ---------------------------------------------------------

    He laughed, shaking his head at her messages. He could imagine her pressing her keys hard like she did every time she was angry, The poor phone must have been paying for the anger he had to receive at that moment. And clearly, it was not the time for arguments after what had happened.      He didn’t want to argue with her now that he could have told her. ---------------------------------------------------------

Jake I understand. I understand that you are angry. When we are calmer, we will talk about it. And I have missed you too :)

Macie Are you sure? Or are you going to disappear again? Leaving me alone?

Jake Of course. I will not disappear again, Macie. Not even to leave you alone. I promise to tell you everything.

Macie I know your promises...

Jake I can assure you, that my promises are still valid. Although it may seem like I have betrayed you, that is not the case.

Macie … Do you swear to me? Swear to me you’re not lying on me now It is true that you will tell me everything, I know that you will not disappear again That we really had something special Please, because I couldn’t stand it…

Jake I swear to you angel. I swear that every word I said to you is true, that I never wanted to hurt you. You were and always will be important to me, Macie. And I am sorry. I am sorry I was not by your side when you needed it most. This time it will be different. ---------------------------------------------------------

    If at that moment Jake had seen the activities on her phone, he would have known that she had also seen that photo that he had also seen, remembering that happiness they once had, wondering if everything was real or he simply took advantage of it to use it as a passing amusement and meanwhile, Hannah was his real girlfriend. The woman he was so desperate to look for.

    Macie clutched the phone to her chest, reading his words. One part of her wanted to believe him, the other simply wanted him to disappear again so she wouldn't have to repeat that pain she had felt for four years. Her tears did not stop flowing from her eyes, falling down her cheeks. A small smile appeared on her face, proud that she had been right all along: That was her Jake. The love of her life.

   "You really... You really always impress me, Jake..."

Okay. Adam right? Weird dude who seems to know us. Wanted to meet us. And give us a envelope. Black hair and blue eyes nudging from the video?? Gives me Jake vibes.

NOW I know Jake's name is Jake and Adam's name is Adam. But what if he lied to us?

What if he told us a different name? It would explain why Adam told us that "It was up to us now" that he's "Sorry" and that we're "on our own now". As Jake knows how much his help was a boon to us in regards to Hannah's case. Jake knows how much his help and comfort meant to us.

And then he vanished after Hannah was found. We don't know what happened to him. Whether he lived or died. For 2 weeks and no knowledge on ANYTHING.

It would still work with the story even as a standalone. You just never learn Adam's identity.

AND IT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN COME UP WITH THAT EXPLAINS WHY WE CAN ACCESS THE SECRET CHATS. That he set everything up for us to solve his disappearance if things ultimately go wrong. Like a fail safe or a back up plan.

I dunno. I'm just hoping.

Evanescent Sequel

Chapter 4 (Part 1)

Previous Chapter: here

Jake

It has been twenty minutes since I started to drive home. Even though I don’t like talking nonsense I cannot deny the fact that I enjoyed the last twenty minutes of nonsense we talked about. And somewhere between that nonsense she fell asleep. The little glances I am stealing from her face are making me drive slower than ever. She might get a good nap till we reach home. 

Things have changed between us— we have changed individually. We are no longer young idiots who let their emotions get the best of them or careless enough to fall in love with strangers. People learn from mistakes is something I have spent my whole life hearing but it makes sense to me only now. To think about it now, our timing had been wrong. The desperation to be with each other was overwhelming in an extremely early stage of our relationship due to which we both ended up getting hurt. It sounded romantic then. Now it smells like the past. She understands it as much as I do. 

What she said about us being the endgame still gives me an unexplainable feeling in my stomach. 

And that's when I decide to stop. 

I try to feed myself the truth— she came to me for help not because she shared the same issue as me. The issue of not being able to get over her. She was pretending to be with Alex for her father's sake. Perhaps due to that lie she didn't get the chance to meet men better than me. She’ll be free from that lie soon and I do not have the confidence to claim that she’ll still choose me. 

That's when I focus on driving rather than her face. 

When we reach the parking lot of my apartment, I sigh. I am met with two choices— the number one being me waking her up and ruining her sleep and the second one is hardly any better- carry her myself. 

I cannot believe I am getting this troubled over it but I truly do not wish to ruin her sleep. I know it feels to get up when you are sleeping so peacefully. And my overthinking is unstoppable. What if she hasn't slept well in days because she was worried about her sister? What if she can't sleep once I wake her up? 

I decide to text Garrett. Not Lucas, of course. He’ll give me the worst advice, I am sure, like sleeping in the car myself and when she wakes up again, explaining to her the trouble I was having so she'll think I am a gentleman. 

I furrow my brows as I realise that Lucas' mindset is slowly sliding into my mind.

Jake: What do you do when you have a girl sleeping in your passenger's seat? 

Jake: a) wake her up and ruin her sleep

Jake: b) carry her yourself 

Garrett: Well, it depends on the status of your relationship. Is she just a friend? A. Is she more than a friend? B, def. 

I send a quick text back. 

Jake: How do you decide the status? 

Garrett: Are you kidding me…

Garrett: Do b and her reaction will tell you the status. 

I sigh, keeping my phone back. That was an informative conversation. 

I get out of the car and open the door to the passenger's seat. That's when I realise another problem- she's wearing a dress. I open the back door of the car and grab a blanket. As I cover her leg to avoid any sort of malfunctioning, she moves in her sleep turning her head towards mine. If she opens her eyes now, she'll freak out because of the closeness. The softness of her skin reminds me of every time I’ve touched her. 

Minutes pass by and I am unable to move. My eyes are glued to her face and memories are flowing. Our time in Duskwood was both mesmerising and terrifying. I haven't allowed myself to visit those moments but I can't help it now. Can’t deny how— 

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I hesitantly pull away from her. I check the phone. 

Garrett: We need you. The kidnapper sent a new video to the client. 

The fact that I’ve been desperately waiting for this update and now it appears to be a burden is concerning. But I am not ready to lose my disciplined self yet. I’ve done it once. I want to be careful this time. 

I lift her up with one hand under the back of thighs and the other supporting her neck. She sleeps like dead that I am certain of. So there's no worry of her waking up. I only need to keep my movements limited and stiff. 

In the elevator, she snuggles into my chest and her vanilla smells messes with my self-control. 

I try to focus on the case in my hands but my thoughts always come to one dead end- her in my arms. 

I still cannot believe we met yesterday after one year and I have her in my arms right now. 

The elevator stops.

In between the sixth and seventh floor. 

I rush towards the buttons and manage to press a few with my hand which is under her neck. Nothing works. 

I can't even use my phone with her in my arms and letting her lie on the floor in an uncomfortable position is a big no. 

That's it.

We’re stuck.

Chapter 4

Jake's POV

I have not heard from MC in over a year now. I have been keeping an eye on her that I can not stop. I see that she has moved on. It hurts to see that she is now with Phil but this is for the best. I have been busy working on a deal with the FBI. They have granted my freedom in exchange for me helping them take down a gang of drug dealers. I have reached out to Lilly. I have told her I am coming back to duskwood. She is so excited that I am coming back.

Lilly: Jake, don't you think you should tell MC you are coming back?

Jake: no, she has moved on now telling her will only cause more problems

Lilly: she doesn't really love Phil she's never stopped loving you Jake

Jake: I won't stand in her way it is for the best

Lilly: Jake, you know you will always have me and Hannah. We will pick you up tomorrow at the station.

Jake: thank you, see you tomorrow

I put my phone down and put my head in my hands, did I really do that right thing in letting go of MC? I had to do it though it was the best thing at that moment. Tomorrow is a new day and I will be back in duskwood. Lilly is letting me stay with her for as long as I need. I don't want MC to know I am coming back. I think doing it like this is for the best.

6 months ago

"Are you sure you really want this MC?" MC took Phil's hand and placed a small kiss on his hand. "Yes it's what I want, Phil come on let's do this" MC dragged Phil into a building inside a receptionist sat behind a desk they both went over and MC greeted the women behind the desk. "Hi, we have an appointment at 1pm" the receptionist looks at the computer and books them both in. "Just take a seat over there and you will be called over soon" MC and Phil went over to the chairs and sat down. "I can't believe we are doing this, it's so exciting" MC sat with a wide smile on her face while she cuddled with Phil. "You are so cute, I love you MC" MC cuddled right up to Phil still with a smile on her face. "I love you to Phil"

After a few moments of waiting they got called into a room, inside there was a women's standing in the center of the small room MC and Phil stood looking into each other's eyes both with smiles on their faces. Phil pulled out a gold wedding band from his pocket and slid the ring onto MCs finger. MC did the same, putting a matching ring onto Phil's finger after a few moments they were married. "I now pronounce you husband and wife" MC and Phil shared a kiss as husband and wife "I love you Phil" Phil took MCs hand and smiled "I love you to MC"

MCs POV

6 months had passed since me and Phil had gotten married. We kept it from the others at first but when we told Jessy she went completely mad at us. I had never seen her this mad before Phil told me not to worry and that she would calm down. She didn't talk to me for a week but now we are slowly talking again. I'm going round to see her later today so we can talk. She thinks I have rushed into this marriage. I told her she was wrong. I am happy with Phil. He makes me feel alive, it's more than Jake ever did. I do still think about him though I guess I still care for him. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Walking to Jessy's gave me time to think about this past year and everything that's happened. Reaching Jessy's apartment I knock on the door and I am greeted by the redhead who lets me in. "Hey MC, come to Dan's in the living room" I start to get an uneasy feeling inside me. I hadn't faced Dan since I married Phil. "Hey Dan, long time no see" I put on my best smile in the hopes he wouldn't go crazy. "Hey boo, come sit down and tell me why the hell did you marry Phil? You don't even love him" this was what I was hoping wouldn't happen but this is Dan and his overprotective ways.

"Dan it's not how you think, sure it started out as a bit of fun but we grew closer and we fell in love." I could feel Dan's eyes burning into me as I sat there. "Oh come on MC we both know you have done this out of revenge on Jake you still love him" my whole body froze when he said Jake's name. "You know what, this was such a bad idea coming here. I love Phil and he loves me. If you can't accept that then I guess this friendship is over" I got up from my seat and stormed out of the apartment. I got back to the bar and went straight up the stairs. Phil was sitting on the sofa watching TV before he had to open up the bar.

In a fit of anger I climbed on top of Phil and started to make out with him, before he could say anything to me I had already taken his shirt off and was kissing his chest. He tried to pull me back but I could feel him melting into my kisses. We have sex on the sofa. It was so hot and steamy after we finished we got dressed and Phil headed downstairs to start setting up the bar. I'm left with my own thoughts: was I really doing the right thing by being with Phil? Was I really just trying to forget about Jake and how much I really do love him? I couldn't just hang around waiting for him to be a free man could I? A feeling of guilt starts to spread over my body I've really fucked things up what the hell am I going to do now?

Jessy's POV

MC just stormed out of the apartment. I was hoping to talk and try to make her see the reason I love my brother but they are not a good match. I don't want to lose MC as my best friend. She means so much to me. I just hope that one day she will see what she's doing is a mistake. I know Dan was only trying to get her to see what she's doing. His heart was in the right place. I walk over to him and put my arms around him "don't worry she will come round we just have to give her time" I know Dan is worried about MC and wants to help her so badly. "I know he's your brother but she's made a big mistake marrying him she doesn't love him she still loves Jake" I know Dan is right but the chances of us being able to get a message to Jake is zero I just hope that in time she will come to realise just how much she loves Jake.

Jake's POV

Today is the day I go back to duskwood. It feels strange being able to walk the streets and now have to hide my face. It's an odd feeling but it's also a freeing feeling that I can once again walk about and not have to hide in the shadows. I am looking forward to seeing my sisters again. I haven't had the chance to speak with Hannah since everything happened at the mine. I don't know how I will feel when I see MC again now that I know she's with Phil. Maybe there is still some hope for us. I never stopped loving her. She is my one true love that I simply can not evade. I still remember that day she came into my life. That day everything changed for the better. She made me a better man.

After a long train journey I have arrived in duskwood, I can see Lilly waiting for me by the entrance to the station. As I walk over she sees me and comes running over to me wrapping her arms around me. "It's so good to see you Jake" I smiled at Lilly giving her another hug. I can see that there is something she hasn't yet told me. "Come on, let's get back to my apartment and we can talk" I can tell by the tone of her voice that it is not going to be good news. When we arrived at her apartment it was a very modest place. The living room is small but what Lilly has done makes it look bigger.

She goes to put my bags in the spare bedroom while I sit down, I can tell she's wanting to tell me something. "Jake there is something that I need to tell you it's about MC" my heart skips a beat when she says her name. "She's gotten married to Phil" my heart feels like it has just been shattered into a million pieces. "Of all people she had to go and marry that fucking loser" I can feel the anger rising up inside me. Have I really lost her forever? Is there really no way I can win back MC's heart?

"Let me explain she was only with him for 6 months when she married him, she doesn't love him she will always love you Jake it's like she just won't admit it" I look at Lilly I can see how much this is hurting her to tell me what MC has done. "She still doesn't know you are back, maybe you should tell her" do I dare go and see MC and tell her everything that's happened? "Why don't I invite her round and you can talk" before I say anything lilly has her phone out calling MC.

"Hey MC, are you busy? I was thinking you could come round and we can have a catch up" my whole body freezes at the voice coming from the other end of the phone MCs sweet voice. "Hey lilly, sure I can come round see you in 20 minutes" I see Lilly smiling. Her words have worked. "Perfect see you soon" my eyes widened. Is MC really coming round now? "Right Jake, she's coming over now if you want I can leave you two alone to talk" I look at Lilly her eyes so full of hope that this plan will work. "thank you"

After what feels like a lifetime there is a knock at the door. My heart starts to race, I can feel my hands starting to get all clammy.

"Hey MC come in someone is waiting for you in the living room" MC gives lilly a questioning look. "What? Who's waiting for me" MC walks into the living room and sees Jake sitting on the sofa. Her eyes widened, her heart started to race for the love of her life. The hacker she had been talking to for so long was finally in front of her eyes. "W-what a-are you doing here?" Jake got up from the sofa and walked towards MC. "Hi MC, I'm back, I'm no longer a wanted man, I'm a free man" MC still stood in shock. She didn't know if she wanted to hug and kiss Jake or slap him.

MC could see Jake getting closer to her; he put his hand on her cheek softly stroking it with his thumb. "I never stopped loving you MC, i am so sorry for how I acted" MC took a step back away from Jake. "NO!! You don't get to do this, not after all this time guy can't just walk back into my life and expect me to forget what happened" Jake didn't let go of MCs face he moved closer slightly grazing his lips against hers.

MCs POV

"NO!!!" I push Jake back away from me. I can't do this "I'm married now Jake, you think you can try and kiss me like that" I make the mistake of looking at Jake his eyes are so beautiful. I could get lost in them for hours. It's like nothing else around me matters, only him he's my world. "I'm sorry Lilly I can't do this I need to go" I tried to move but I couldn't because everything in my body wanted to stay and kiss Jake. I forced myself to move my feet and quickly walked out of the apartment. Tears rolled down my face, my heart was broken. I didn't know what the hell I was going to do.

As I tried to find my car keys I felt a hand in my shoulder, i turned round and it was Jake he was standing in front of me. "Please MC let me explain everything to you" I couldn't say anything I was so lost in his eyes. I couldn't fight it anymore. I loved Jake. I never stopped loving him. Everytime I slept with Phil I thought about Jake and what it would be like to finally be with him. I walked closer to Jake and kissed him softly on the lips. The heat rushed all around my body. I slowly pull away looking Jake in the eyes. "Jake, I love you I never stopped loving you" Jake looked at me with the most amazing smile. "I love you to MC I always have, please come back in side and let me tell you everything"

MC and Jake went back into the apartment Lilly had made some coffee, putting two mugs down on the table she grabbed her jacket and headed out to allow MC and Jake to talk. "A year ago I was captured by the FBI, at first I thought they were going to throw me in jail. I had lost all hope of ever being able to see you again until they offered me a deal. If I helped them take down a drug gang they would clear me of all charges and give me back my freedom. Once I had done my part they gave me my freedom back" MC sat and listened to every word Jake said. "You could of text me you know, I made this biggest mistake of my life marrying Phil what the hell am I going to do"

Jake took MCs hand in his and rubbed his thumb on her hand, "MC I will always love you whatever you decide I will accept" MC saw Jake look down at the ground sadness lacing his eyes. MC leaned forwards and lifted Jake's head up and kissed him on the lips, their arms wrapping around each other. "Give me some time Jake, I need to tell Phil what's happened" Jake knew at that moment how much he loved MC he didn't want to lose her again. "Don't go yet MC please I want you to stay"

The next couple of hours were like a world wind Jake was placing soft kisses all over MCs body. They got lost in each other's bodies as they slept together for the first time.

Chapter 3

*Angel POV*

I've become Jake's connection to the outside. It doesn't bother me since that way I can find out if there is news that my parents might be looking for me. It's been a month and there's still no one talking about a girl who ran off with a mystery guy. I walk the streets to go to the studio. From time to time I stop by so they can see that I use it, I stay for a few minutes and I leave. I haven't told Jake that I sent a letter to my parents, saying that I'm fine. Of course, I don’t put the address where we stayed. I have thought that every end of the month I will write to them and put different addresses. I don't want them to worry about me and look for me. I also don't go into details about who I'm with. Maybe the only one who knows is my mother? She always knew what was wrong with me and I told her but I didn't say many things. I didn't want to talk about Jake, just say that there was a boy I liked.

Okay, this might be the second thing I've kept from Jake. I also enter my mail, but disconnected. I have read the messages that my friends have sent me, wondering why I don’t answer my phone. Because I haven't told them anything. Lian asked me the day I left why I hadn't gone to work, later she found out from my parents that I had left, she wrote to me asking why I didn't tell her anything, since she was my best friend. The more I go up, the more messages I see that from when they found out. Most of the messages are from Jessy, Dan and Lilly. Jessy who has been writing more as if she were telling me how her day to day is going and that in the end she has decided to move, she’s looking for a apartment in Colville. It seems that texting me serves as therapy for her. Lilly texts me disappointed that I didn't tell her I was running away with Jake. Rather, she's mad at both of us for not telling her what we were planning to do. Dan writes to me worried that something might happen to me as I run away, if I might get in trouble with the law for being with Jake or if they might want to kill me because of him. I'd love to write back and tell them I'm fine, but they've already risked too much because of us. I decide to archive the emails so I can read them later.

I stand looking at the televisions in a store. They still talk about what happened in Duskwood and how the FBI showed up looking for a criminal. I see that they also name me quickly and I cover myself better. I want them to forget about this topic once and for all.    "Isn't Hannah Donfort the sister of that girl who made that video accusing two people of kidnapping her?" I hear a girl ask another.    "Yeah, what happened to her?" the other asks.     I walk away from there, continuing my way to the study. There are still “I am Jake” graffiti on some streets or some Nymos eyes. Where I lived, they gave my father and the other policemen headaches. Teenagers were the ones who painted the most. Then, after my article, it got a little worse. More overtime for my father.

I enter the building and go up to the studio, inserting the key to gain access. I lower my hood as I look inside. It's sparsely furnished and the blinds are down, it's only lit by the light from the computer. I check that everything is working fine and take out my phone to text Jake. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angel

The computer is in perfect condition

Function correctly, as always

-----Jake has connected-----

Jake

Perfect.

Any problem upon arrival?

Angel

All good

No one following me, sir!

Jake

Do not call me sir.

I feel older.

Angel

Well, you're older than me 😝

Jake

Fine.

Well, being older than I am, you know that you must obey me, right?

Maybe tonight I can find a place for you to obey.

Angel 😳

Jake ;)

Be careful when you come back.

Make sure no one follows you.

Angel

OK

Something special to eat?

Jake

Hmm… Choose you today.

Angel

Well…

You? 😏

Jake

Ha ha.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I will be with the computer for a bit.

Angel

I know

I fancy something Italian

How about?

Jake

Of course:)

Angel

So, see you 😊

Jake

I will be waiting, angel.

-----Jake has disconnected----- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I put my phone away and pull up my hood. I'm not disappointed not to have intimate moments with Jake, honestly. Maybe at first we were a little…needy of each other, but now we just joke about these things on the phone. Also, it's not just about us having sex, for me, the fact that he caresses my hair when he is working on the computer or that we talk about the things we like being in the same room, without interruptions, is what I like the most. When I go to sleep, he stays next to me with his laptop, stroking my cheek gently, whispering how much he loves me as I drift off to sleep. I feel so complete with him.

I want that the day he is free; I can present him to my parents, that they see that he is someone special to me. Maybe at first my father wouldn't like it, but when he saw that they have the same taste in movies or a strong sense of justice, perhaps he likes him better, or also, the one who sees that he respects his daughter like no one has ever done before. I want that future for both of us.

Even though Jake hasn't told me anything about his past yet, it's like he's still afraid to tell me anything about his life for fear someone might take it from me by force. I hope that some day he will tell me something about his life, some detail. No one would ever get information out of Jake from me. I choose death rather than betray him.

*Jake POV*

I keep an eye on the data from the rental agency to know when people will come to look at the apartment. We have been here for a month with no problems and that relieves me, but I am sure we will have to leave eventually. You can never stay in one place for too long, so I have made a plan in case we have to leave.

I avoid thinking that I use her to monitor the computer. I think I like it better think that I do not keep her in here bored while I work on the computer. And according to her, she wants to know if there is talk of her disappearance, if her parents have caused a scandal to look for her. I do not know whether to care about jer words, I do not want to look like a kidnapper again. She told me not to worry about it, that she had made it very clear in writing that it was her decision.

While I am creating another surveillance program to detect any suspicious activity around me, I receive a notification that I have been named in his social network, again, posting a picture of me. I hacked his account to delete the post. I know he is been looking for me for a long time, but he does not know that he could risk being hunted down.    “Sorry buddy, but I can not let you put yourself in danger.” I mutter, heading back to the computer.     I make a small noise, complaining. I get a message. It is assumed that he would not have to send me one again if it was not that I did it. And I was not thinking about doing it again either, he already risked enough when I asked him to put the Nymos sticker on. But there have been so many messages that I have had enough. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comet

Hey

Uh…

I know that I have sent you many messages

That I risk getting in touch with you again, but…

I don't know anything about you Jake 😔 and that worries me ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just hope he is talking meanwhile diverting his IP to another. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nymos

Comet, do not text me again.

Comet

Jake!

Do you know how many messages I have sent you?!

When I found out that the FBI was in Duskwood, I was worried!

Nymos

You risk writing to me.

Stop doing it or we will both be in trouble.

Comet I don’t care

Nymos

You can get your father in trouble.

Comet

He don't know nothing, he's busy keeping tabs on the people you messed with 😑

And enough of both of you treating me like a child when I'm an adult!

Just tell me if you're in trouble and I'll deflect any signals

Nymos I already have it under control. Do not worry.

And I do not treat you like a child, I just do not want to get my little brother in trouble. :)

Comet

Always with that habit of not worrying others when we already are 😠

And what about her? Don't worry about how I am for you?

Nymos

Angel is fine, do not worry about her.

Comet

Angel?

Who is Angel?

Wait… 😱 OH!

YOU ARE

SHE

WHAT?!

SHE RUN AWAY WITH YOU?!

Nymos

It was her decision.

Comet

I see that friends don’t enter the sack of the privileged 😒

Nymos

I could not make her see reason.

But I take good care of her.

I will not let anything bad happen to her.

Comet

Hmm…

If you trust her…

Nymos

I trust her.

Comet

Alright, alright

Just be careful…

Nymos

Henry, she is trustworthy.

Comet

But do you know that her father is a cop?

I wouldn’t trust her 😐

Nymos

She has always shown me that I can trust her.

She would have given me away long ago.

Comet

But this time you’re with her, it’s different 😰

Don’t let it give you away

-----Comet has disconnected----- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pinch the bridge of my nose as I sigh. I have known Henry since he was a child, I myself helped him find a home and a father, we taught him everything we knew about security and hacking. He admired me and continues to admire me, to the point that when I contacted him again for help, he would not stop talking and asking me where I had been. Very persistent, if I dare say. I told him about her and he was even glad that I cared for someone as much as I ever had before. Now his attitude towards her has changed, as if she is dangerous. I have to assume it was the FBI news that made him change his mind. It is not yet known who warned them.

But I know my angel was not.

I hear the door and let out a small laugh. She still has trouble using the lock picks. I get up from the ground and go to open the door, then lean against the frame with a smile. She looks at me with a frown, picks in hand.    "I almost had it." she replies, putting them in his pants pocket.    “You have to avoid leaving marks on the lock” I lean forward, approaching her face “, if you see that you cannot, leave it.”    “ 'If you see that you can't, leave it' “ she imitates me entering the house.     I stop her by placing a hand on her waist, turning her around. I place my hand on her chin and approach her lips.    "Are not you forgetting something?" I ask, whispering.     I go to kiss her and she places a bag in front of me.    "The food." She replies with a mischievous smile.     I roll my eyes and pick up the bag. It is she who kisses me, to later let out a laugh.    "I told you, I was hungry for you." She chuckles, wrapping her arms around my neck.    "You are going to drive me crazy, angel." I caress her lips, seeing a shy smile.    Her cheeks turn red and I feel her skin warm. I kiss her forehead and hear her sigh. She hugs me resting her head on my body.    “I'm home.” she says, and I hear happiness in her voice.    "Yes, you are." I reply, kissing her head.

   We sit on the ground. I take care of the program and she eats, watching what I do.    "Here." She tells me, approaching the pasta. I open my mouth and let him feed me. If it weren't for her, I would forget the most important needs in a human being.     She then gets upset that she does not deserve to be called an angel.    "Any news of your escape?" I ask after finishing swallowing the food.   “No, it seems that my parents have understood the letter I left them correctly” she answers after she has finished swallowing “, besides, I told them that it wouldn't be forever.”     I nod understanding her words. She can come back without problems whenever she wants, I do not keep her by my side.    “What are you doing now?” she asks, dragging herself over to me, setting the food container aside.    "I am trying to create a better surveillance program around us" I answer without taking my eyes off the screen “, I want to collect the information of the people around us and know if any of them could be an undercover agent if I look at their messages.”    "Won't it be dangerous?" She does not sound worried, more curious.     I look at her raising an eyebrow.    "Do not you know who you are talking to?"     She looks me up and down, cocking her head. She raises her hand to her face and dabs with her finger.    “Well, no, I don't know” I take her by the wrist and attract her to me, beginning to tickle her “No! Stop!” She exclaimed between laughs.    “I am going to make you remember who you are talking to, angel.” I tell her, laying her down.    "Wasn't it that you had to work?" She smiled as she caressed my face.    "I can take a break."     She bites her lip and pulls her to me. Before I can kiss her, I hear the notification that he is put up another post again. I quickly part ways, deleting all information and photo from that post. Just about, if I am a second later… I raise my hands to my head, taking a deep breath. When will he give up?    "What's wrong, Jake?" She asks me worried.    "It is nothing" I reply, taking her hand and kissing it “. Do not worry, why do not you listen to some music while I work?”     I move a little and let her settle in with me. I start stroking her hair slowly, trying to make her forget what happened. But she did not make it.    “Are you sure you're okay?”     I lower my head to look at her and smile.    “Yes angel, I'm fine.” I kiss her forehead and she nods.     The less information she know about my past, the better. It would be risking too much.

Chapter 5 

[schnattchen91]

Preview: The sleepless night had taken its toll. I struggled through my wet, unruly hair with the brush. I beat my hands against my cheeks. But the desired colour didn't appear. Disappointed, I reached for the yellow towel and wrapped it around my body. Immediately I reached for the door handle. The bright light blinded me. "A beautiful morning, my dear" Phil's voice greeted me as I was still trying to get my bearings. "Morning," I replied in a faint voice. I glanced at the two hawkins siblings and the set breakfast table. My left hand clawed at the knot of my towel. The drops of water falling from my body sounded so abnormally loud. I felt as if the table where the two of them were sitting was moving further and further away. My cheeks slowly began to blush until they were burning with shame! It had taken my brain far too long to reach the conclusion that the doorbell announced Phil's appearance. Then it took me far too long to realise that I was standing half-naked in the room. I open my mouth and breathed. "I..." My right foot took a wobbly step back. "Well, I got no problem if you join us looking like this," Phil winked at me. His intention probably had been to loosen up the situation a little. The opposite showed in the unhealthy red colour of my face. So the option of feigning self-confidence was also taken away. I gulped nervously and said, "I'll get dressed." I could still hear Phil commenting on my words, " Pity." and Jessy's giggle. Continue reading on:

Some of my reactions to the 7th chapter of Duskwood
