“It’s our only choice,” [Vancis] said. “It’s Lucian’s only chance.” “But to meet out here, it’s so—” “Discreet,” said a smooth, amused voice. Anneth jumped, manicured claws digging into Vancis’ arm. From the shadow of one of the towering crimson blazewood trees sauntered the man they had risked their reputation to meet. Taller than either of them in heeled boots Anneth could’ve sworn she’d seen on an Orcherial Prince last week, he glittered with jewellery at wrist and ear and throat, and had butchered a perfectly good shirt into some horrible Zashi vest, patterned in the same brash colours as the skirt that swung about his calves. He halted a few feet away to deliver an elaborate bow, giving them ample time to take in the jagged, gold-capped ends of the broken horns that curved mere inches back over his long, dark hair. “Lord and Lady Everent,” Prince Sorrow said. “A pleasure to make your acquaintance at last.”

closed @littlcfreaks | cruz ft. lucian.

the pounding in his head is relentless as the sun peaking through the curtains abruptly awakes him from his slumber. it takes a few moments for his eyes to adjust to his surroundings, vison slightly blurred by leftover sleep and the onset of a bad hangover. it's a stark reminder of why he stick to weed and typically avoids drink. it doesn't take long for him to feel the warmth of the body next to him, sleepy smile forming and then dropping when realization hits. shit. drunken mouths had uttered sober thoughts, i love yous thrown around like it was the easiest thing in the world to say. panic sets in, heart pounding. there's a hint of fear there, that maybe a night of fun and being open could be the thing that ends it all. what if lucian runs ? he fights it off, opts to act like nothing happened, hopes it will work. a lazy hand moves to rub his lovers arm, voice croaked. " babe— babe, are you awake ? i think i'm fucking dying. " there's a forced out chuckle as he inches closer, but behind his moves is quiet contemplation. he has no idea what to do in this situation, and honestly he half wants to cry. it makes him glad that the glazed over eyes can be blamed on the alcohol consumed the night before. because he doesn't want the other male to think he's pathetic. " i'm never drinking again. "

❥SUMMARY : Jay was the throne prince to the vampire realm,being the only son of the Vampire Elder,Park. However he didn't want to live his whole life as a hideous curse,so he created another completely different humanoid life for himself. Where he had many human friends and y/n,his human girlfriend who was unknown of his true identity,in college. One full moon night was all it took to change y/n's life forever. Not only did it take away her normal life as a human being but also took away her freedom of loving, especially loving her full blooded Vampire Boyfriend,Jay. Being the Half breed daughter of the Lycan leader,y/n was subjected as the ultimate weapon of Lycans and Werewolves against vampires. This brought upon a great riddle Infront of Jay,whether he wanted to live a decent life as a fake human as he liked or to go back to the hell that he always ran away from and save his own people as well as fight the love of his life.

"They couldn't die,y/n", his dark figure spoke as you both stood in the alley. You looked at him with no feelings at all. Not that he was looking at you but he knew you didn't give out that warmth he always ran to you for anymore.

You turned around, preparing to walk away without answering his "Silly" questions.

"Who are you?",he asked you slowly in a low tone,almost unhearable. Looking down on the ground as the heavy rain drenched his existence in that dark alley. You turned back to him to finally answer his another "silly" question.

"Jay,I-",you start.

He cut you off immediately with a loud yell yet cry,

"I said WHO ARE YOU?!",

his voice was trembling with unbearable anger and pain. His teeth were grinning against each other, his long slender teeth becoming visible as he started transforming into what he truly is,"You used me",he mumbled out,shaking out of anger,slowly looking up.

You stood there,looking at him dead in his bloody red pair of eyes as he looked up at you.You wondered if he was really about to attack you. "Will he? Can he?",This wasn't supposed to be a love story anyways. It's either him or you. There's no him and you. Could you fight your inner wolf to be with him? Be with a vampire? Leaving your own pack out there? Your own blood out there?Letting them die?Could you be this selfish?

"NO"

A wicked smirk gradually started to find its own way to your pretty innocent face. That's it,Lucian had won.

"Ya...You really wanna know,don't you?",you asked him while slowly unleashing your sharp and deadly claws as your ears found their own wayout. The golden ring in your left eye's pupil was completely visible. A dark long tail coming out of your back as your feet turned into hideous wolf paws,not to mention the emergence of your sharp, manslaughtering teeth. But the rest of your body remained as human.

"This is who I am,Park",you flashed him your wicked smile.

"No wonder why you smell different than other humans,but you don't smell like your own kind either",he snapped back as his trembling self suddenly got a grip on itself and he stood straight,sliding his left hand into his pocket.

"What do you mea-", before you could finish your sentence you felt a swift wind blow you onto the wall behind you,an arm squeezing the life out of your throat as he trapped you between his body and the wall.

"Not a whole of your own kind either", he hissed in your ears as he stole a quick inhale of your sweet yet deadly smell.

Struggling to get yourself out of his grip,you almost stabbed him with your claws that were unleashed. But what was stopping you? Why weren't you being able to stab him? Was it because you knew that he wouldn't die? Or was it because- you stopped your overwhelmed mind just to face the reality as you calmed your body down under his touch. A touch that once felt like home but now it was nothing but a reminder of the hell you both belonged from.

"Don't think too much,Park. The world is much darker than you know,little vamp boy",you asserted before inserting your claws slowly yet painfully into his torso,in short, you stabbed him and pulled out instantly,not even giving him a chance to accustom to the pain,not the pain of being stabbed by wolf claws for the first time but the pain of betrayal from someone he loved so dearly.

Surprised at the sudden attack he spurted out blood from his mouth on your face as blood started running down from his stomach like a river. The rainwater streaming under your feet had turned red because of Jay's contribution to it as he let go of his grip on you and slowly kneeled on the floor holding his wound.

You wiped your face off with one of your hands before starting to walk away.

"y/n..",you swiftly looked back at his fallen body. The continuous thunder lightening allowed you to see his face a little clearer than you saw while stabbing him.He looked at you as he stood up with his wound being all healed.

"I may have had forgotten it for a while but..we belong to the darkest part of the world anyways,don't you think?", He paused for a while in-between his low speech before flashing you a smirk as that one simple yet heavy word which destroyed your whole freaking life rolled down his lips,

"Halfie?".

❥AUTHOR'S NOTE : At first,this was supposed to be a oneshot since I'm basically writing this for Underworld Eclipse Collab.But since it's a little longer and I have my exams coming up, I've decided to continue this in chapters.

ft. lucian & tyson.

a morning visit to the precinct was not part of maisie’s plans for the day. her brother getting himself arrested, her boyfriend going MIA— at least she couldn’t say life was boring.

she waited rather impatiently for tyson’s release. arms folded over her chest as she anxiously paced. there were too many possibilities for how he could have been arrested, each one of them seemed to be worse then the last. her mind was so consumed with possibilities that she almost didn’t notice tyson walking towards her and lucian right behind. 

when maisie mentioned she wanted the pair to meet, this was not what she had in mind. “ so, i guess there’s no need for a dinner. ’ a forced smile meeting tyson before she looked up at lucian. “ lucian, this is my brother tyson. ’ a heavy breath parting her lips as she looked at tyson. “ ty, this is my boyfriend, lucian. ’ 

maisie shrugged, hands slapping against her thighs as she looked between them now. “ lets go, i can’t wait to hear about your night. ’ her anger was mixed with a bit of relief. she may have still been in the dark as to how they’d landed themselves here, but— at least now her mind didn’t have to be racked by the worst possibilities.

Fanfiction 

Part 2

Elijah Mikaelson x Elena Gilbert

ft. Kennett

a/n: this is my tvd/to version of Pride, Prejudice and Zombies.Yeah, Elijah Mikaelson is sort of Mr Darcy. LOL

Thanks for reading. xoxo

________

Valerie and Stefan returned to the house a while later, finding Elena packing.

"What has happened? The maid said that you had a visit. That - Elijah Mikaelson came to the house" the witch said and now saw Elena's case open, already half filled with her clothes. It meant that she was ready to leave-

"Please, don't tell me that you are leaving?" Stefan, the witch’s husband said.

"What has he done? Has he hurt you in some way?"

"He has done nothing." Elena replied."I - need to leave. I had some news from Caroline that there was trouble in Baton Rouge and I have to go."- the huntress pointed to the letter on the table. But Stefan knew Elena too well, and knew that this was not the reason she was in a hurry to get away.

"I somehow doubt that Caroline would send a word that she needed help. That is not in her nature."

Elena looked at the man, knowing that it would be in vain to continue hiding the truth behind her sudden wish to leave.

"Count Mikaelson and I had a disagreement. I just don't wish to see him if I can help it. And there is no avoiding the dinner with the Fells." Elena said.

"Please, don't go." Valerie said in an almost pleading voice."Whatever happened we will make sure to keep you away from the Mikaelsons."

Elena sighed and reluctantly agreed to stay, knowing how important it was for her friends to have her there.

¤¤¤

Elsewhere

Still feverish from Elena's rejection, Elijah rode for hours to calm his injured heart.

As he finally got back to the Mikaelson Mansion, he entered it like thousand devils were chasing after him. He passed his hat, gloves and coat to the footman in a brisk manner. He then ran up the steps, now followed by his  sister Rebekah who had emerged from the side room as she heard the footman greeting the vampire. Elijah look shattered like he came out of carnage. The blondesped fast after her brother, imploring him to tell her what was the caused him to be so distressed.

"My dear sister, not now. I wish to be alone." Elijah said as he came up to his room. 

"You are in such dreadful state of delirium, dear brother. I have not seen you like this since our brother Finn had been cut down by the witch-huntress. Please tell me that nothing happened to Niklaus. I could not bear to lose another brother." Rebekah begged, on the verge of tears.

Elijah turned to his sister, looking at her in a very serene manner. "Niklaus is fine. It is nothing like dreadful like that. I have - I have had an unpleasant accounter, that is all. Nothing for you to worry your pretty little head over. It trully is nothing that cannot be dealt with."

Him giving her a little smile, reassured the blonde and she  now nodded a little, her heart calming.

"I have some correspondance to deal with and I must get on with it. When I finish, I will have tea with you in the drawing room." Elijah said.

Rebekah nodded pleased about the prospect that her favourite brother will spend some time with and then exited his room, closing it behind her.

Elijah drew a long deep breath, and undoing his tie he slang it on the bed. The delirium seemed to return the moment Elena's words shot back in his head-

"You are mistaken, Mr Mikaelson, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentlemanlike manner."

“Gentlemanlike manner” the vampire sifted and splashed his face with some water to try and cool down. But his pierced heart now burned like it was hit by a myriad of hellish suns and he now wiping his face,sat down at the table and got a piece of paper and started writing a letter.

Some half an hour later he rang for the servant and he asked him to take it to the Salvatore house and hand it to Elena personally.

And as the man delivered the letter, Elena went to the small parlour and opening it, read the following- 

"Dear Lady Gilbert, 

I am not writing to renew the setiments which were so disgusting to you, but to address the offences you accuse me of. 

I did not intentionally wound your friend. It was the most unfortunate consequence in protecting my dearest brother. Kol's feelings for Miss Bonnie Bennett were beyond any I have witnessed in him, or indeed thought him capable of. 

The evening of the dance in Mystic Falls, after overhearing the elder coven talk of how there was nothing better than to place a witch in the nest of the most eligible vampire bachelors, and in one family in particular, it being us, the Mikaelsons.

 I persuaded Kol of the unfitness of the match, despite the obvious belief that a witch and vampire could not marry, as there is one truth my family had kept hidden for centuries and that is the fact that my mother and my father came from both sides. If I wounded Miss Bennett's feelings it was unknowinlgy done. 

As to your other accusations of having injured the DeMartel siblings and Lucian Castle- no sooner than my father had written his last Will and Testament, as he loved them as if they were his own children, leaving two estates to them in case of his death as we fought the LaRue witch coven at the time, my father, my mother and my brother Finn were struck down. I have acted upon my father's Will.

 They squandered it, whereupon they demanded more. I refused and he severed all his ties with us. Last summer, Lucien Castel started a relationship with my fifteen year old sister, convincing her to elope.  As you know, we, my brother Niklaus and myself were battling the wolves and the the dark vampires in the north of the country, we were unaware of their

liaison, until a letter had arrived from my sister that she was about to get married. Lucien's prime target was her inheritance and the Mikaelson blood, which he intened to use selling it to the Bayou witches, revenging himself on us was his additional target. 

Fortunately, we were able to stop them. I hope this helps explain and perhaps mitigate my behaviour in your eyes.                

All I have done was to protect the one thing I value the most, my family. In all my life  I have learned this -

of all the weapons in the world I know now LOVE to be the most dangerous one, for I have suffered a mortal wound. When did I fall so deeply under your spell Lady Gilbert, I cannot fix the hour or the spot, or the look or the words that have laid the foundation. I was in the middle before I began. What a proud fool I was. 

I have faced the harsh truth that I can never hope to win your love in this life. I will find solace battling the hybrids in the most northern part of the country.

I wish you all the happiness of this world,

with sincerests of thoughts,

Always and Forever,

Elijah.

Elena now got up taking her coat and ran out of the house. Stefan followed her asking what had happened. But Elena just shook her head without giving the man and answer. As she got to the stables, she asked the servant to prepare her horse. The servant went and she now turned to her friend. But she said nothing.

"Tell me what is the matter?" Stefan was not letting it go-”It’s Elijah Mikaelson, right?”

Elena nodded, but still said nothing.

“Something is going on between you and him. He and his whole family are nothing but misery.”

"Please Stefan, not now. I will tell you later. I have to go. I’ m sorry" the huntress  then mounted the horse, the servant brought to her and rode off in a haste.

Valerie, who came from the garden, now asked her husband why Elena went off like a fury.

"I don't know, my love, but it is nothing good." Stefan replied.

"There has always been trouble with the Mikaelson family. I just hope it is nothing deadly." Valerie remarked.

"I hope so, too. For Elena's sake." Stefan said and now took the basket from the witch.

The man and the woman then walked back to the house holding eachother under the arm.

¤¤¤

Elena rode with her heart bursting out of her chest, hoping that she would find Elijah at the Mikaelson Mansion. Arriving there, she rushed in the house, forgetting her manners, demanding to see Elijah.

"The Count Mikaelson is away." the footman, who opened the door said to her. 

“What do you mean - away? When? He couldn’t have,” Elena said agitated,”he probably has told you that he does not wish to see me. But, I need to speak to him. Urgently”

Klaus, having arrived not long before Elena, having heard the commotion, now appeared from upstairs and telling the footman that he would now speak to the lady, asked the huntress why she was so eager to see his brother.

"I need to speak to him. It's a matter of utmost urgency." Elena said in a great huff.

Klaus looked at the brunette inviting her now into the Parlour and said-

"Whatever it is you can say it to me and I will be happy to pass on the message."

"I wish to speak to him - alone. In private, if you don't mind." Elena said.

"Whatever it is, it will have to wait as Elijah has left for business to the North." Klaus said.

"Business?" Elena let out perplexed.

"Yes. Why would that be such an unusual notion?"

"Because- his letter stated something completely different." Elena now said.

"His letter?" Klaus looked surprised that his brother would have any kind of correspondence with her.

"Yes. An hour or so ago, I had received a letter from him-" Elena replied and then stopped for a second, now tearing up- guilt rising in her chest. She turned away for a moment, drying the eyes off with a finger.

"I did not know that you and my brother share correspondence?" Klaus said somewhat worried now.

"We don't, but- it is - what it is," the huntress shook her head."Anyway- in the letter he states that he is travelling up North to fight the hybrids."

Klaus could not believe what he was hearing, as well as the fact that Elena knew about the hybrids.

"I am not who- I pretend to be." Elena now said to the vampire. "I am a huntress."

"You are - what?" Klaus looked at the brunette wide-eyed.

"Yes. But now, this is the least of the problem.You have to go and stop him. I would do it myself, but I can't travel North till the spell is cast on me." Elena said-"and if he dies, I don't wish to be accountable for it."

"Why would you be accountable for it?"

Elena now told Klaus about Elijah's proposal and her refusal, which obviously brought on the decision to go North.

"Oh, no!" Klaus now said knowing his brother being capable of doing such a mad thing. He now stormed out of the parlour.

___________

Klaus spared not a second to ride after Elijah and stop him from going to the most Northern part of Louisiana.

Elena left the Mikaelson house immediately after Klaus had left the Parlour. There was nothing more she could do at the present moment but to hope that his brother would catch up with him and persuade him to return.

As she arrived back at her friends' house, she was met by her brother Jeremy, who had no good knews from Mystic Falls.

"The Martin witches are dead, as well as Sheila Bennett." Jeremy informed his sister.

"What? How? When did this happen?" Elena was beside herself as she knew how much Bonnie loved her grandmother, but she was equally sad for her friends,Luka and his father Jonas.

"We can't establish what magic it was, and if it was the dark magic the vampire-witches used. They were slaughtered in their own house. Sheila Bennett was with them." Jeremy explained. "Bonnie had a vision and we fear that the Dark vampires are on the rise again. They are preparing an attack on Mystic Falls. I need you. I can't do this on my own."

"Yes. We have to leave immediately." Elena said. She now turned to Valerie asking her if she could send her clothes off to Mystic Falls on.

"I am going with you." Stefan then said.

"No, Stefan. You have to stay." Elena said and the man, who was once a hunter himself, disagreed.

"You can't come with us. You have to look after Valerie, especially now that-"- Elena stopped there as it was not her place to tell the man that his wife was expecting a baby. Having glanced at Valerie, the witch now told her husband what she had shared with her friend that very morning.

"I suspect that I am pregnant." Valerie said. "I have yet to confirm it by a doctor, but I am quite sure of it. I hope you are not cross with me as I have shared it with Elena first, before you."

"How could I be cross? This is the most wonderful knews ever." Stefan said now warmly embracing his wife. 

Jeremy congratulated them on the news and then looking at his sister, urged her to get ready to leave as soon as possible.

And so, not long after they were away to Mystic Falls, that lay in the heart of Louisianna.

¤¤¤

Sometime in the night, Klaus managed to find Elijah in one of the Inns just before the Northern border. As the Inn keeper showed him where Elijah took up the room, he went straight up to his room, entering it without knocking.

Elijah shot out of his bed taking his sword and pointing straight at his brother. Seeing that it was Klaus, he put the sword down and asked astonished to see him there. "How on Earth did you know where to find me?"

"Miss Gilbert told me of your silly intention." Klaus said.

"Elena? I mean - Miss Gilbert talked to you?" Elijah was astounded to hear it.  

"She has also told me about your proposal of marriage. I must say that this has come as a great shock I must say. What were you thinking? Do you know what she is?"

"I do. I know very well who and what she is." Elijah said.

"Someone must have worked some strange spell on you to act in this manner! I cannot comprehend that her refusal hit you to make such a mad decision to abandon everything, especially your family?!"

"I was - I was overcome with emotions" Elijah said gulping and his brother now saw that this cut the vampire deep.

"You are truly in love!" Klaus stated.

"You have no idea how profoundly I feel for her." Elijah said now falling on the chair.

Klaus knew how reserved his brother was and that he would never give into his feelings if they were not genuine.

"But to do this! This is suicide. This is wrong, no matter how much your heart is suffering."- Klaus said and sat down on the neighbouring chair-"at least she had some sense to come over to the house to alarm us."

"She came to the house?" Elijah  now asked.

"She did indeed." Klaus confirmed. "She is not completely heartless. I must say she was very - distressed. A tear had escaped her eyes."

"What are you saying?" Elijah could scarcely believe what his brother was saying.

"Whatever you wrote in that letter to her, it had moved her intensely." Klaus said.

Elijah now got up, hope striking his heart again.

"Maybe she had a change of heart." Klaus said.

"Maybe." Elijah said.

"Come brother. Let's leave. Let's go home and - well, try and win your Lady back." Klaus said.

Elijah nodded in agreement, and the brothers left the Inn soon after.

¤¤¤¤

Week or so later, in the North-western border

Elena walked in the house which her fellow Hunteress, Hayley Marshall-Kenner was occupying.

"I have put some tea on. It was a rough night." Hayley said to Elena, who had blood all over her.

"Thank you. I will take a bath and soon will meet you down. How are you?"

"I am - I don't know what I am. I miss- Jackson. I hate that I have no word of him still. It has been days now- and -"

"You fear the worst" Elena concluded.

The Huntress nodded and added "You are lucky that you are not attached. Because - the pain - the pain of not seeing him - maybe ever again- is unbearable."

"Yes, I guess- it is somewhat - easier. But, I have a brother, who is keeping watch on the eastern western border and - I know how it feels."

"I am sorry, I completely forgot about your brother." Hayley said.

"It is fine. You have a lot on your plate." Elena said and then excused herself and went to the bathroom. Her mind now wondered away, but not to her brother, but to the vampire that crawled up in her heart. Elijah Mikaelson. His letter was wedged in her heart and his words would rise up out of nowhere all the time

'I was in the middle before I began.'

Was she also in the middle before she began feeling for him too. She could not tell. As their first meeting was not a good one. His face miserable, disinterested, bored by the company he was surrounded with, even though he was polite and entirely civil. And yet, somehow, after they have been introduced, they seemed to have always end up in each other's company.

Flashback

Josephine LaRue, a dear friend of the Mikaelsons now seeing Elena approaching, said-

"My dear Count Elijah Mikaelson you must allow me to present this young lady to you as a very desirable partner. You cannot refuse to dance, I am sure, when somuch beauty is before you." She took Elena's hand and presented it to Elijah, who was not unwilling to receive it. But Elena instantly drew back, and said with some discomposure to the old witch-

"Dear Lady LaRue, I have not the least intention of dancing. I entreat you not to suppose that I moved this way in order to beg for a partner."

Elijah, with grave propriety, requested the honour of her hand, but in vain. Elena was determined. She looked archly, and turned away. Her resistance had not injured her with Elijah, for he was thinking of her with some complacency, and Elena knew that already having overheard him talk with his brother, who had already urged him to dance with her earlier.

"She maybe a beauty, but underneath this sweet facade there is nothing that could tempt me. I do not have time for idle girls."

How she resented him saying these words. It was a wretched beginning. And now her heart was the opposite. Now, her heart thought of him warmly, wondering if his brother had managed to persuade him to return and not go to the battle field. Deep inside she prayed that he was well and that nothing dire happened to him.

As she finished bathing, she got dressed and went to take tea with her friend.

"I have put the fire on." Hayley said. "Please help yourself with some tea. I have to talk to my steward for a second."

Elena nodded a little and poured some tea for herself, taking a sandwich as well. As she had a sip and a bite she sat down on the bench in front of the fire. The warm, cosy feel made her feel relaxed. She looked at the gleaming light and the play of the flames, drifting away -

"Elena"- Elijah said as he appeared at the door -"I can't stop- I can't stop loving you and came all the way here to tell you- that you are my all."

And then she opened her eyes snapping out of her daydream, looking at the fire. 

"Elena, are you all right?" Hayley said as she sat down next to the the Huntress.

"Yes." Elena replied shortly. Her heart restless from the dream she had for a second there. She then turned now asking the woman what she was holding in her hands.

"This is a list of the dead hybrid witches. I have so hoped that it was a note from Jackson."                 

"He will be fine." Elena reassured her fellow huntress,so to speak.

"Have you not - got someone?" Hayley now asked.

"Me? Ahm- no, not really." Elena replied with a sigh.

"But you are in love, are you not?" Hayley asked.

"I - I think I am. Yes, I am, but we - can't be."

"I am sorry," Hayley said and added,"Oh, how I miss Jackson. I really hope is all right. I would not able to continue living if something happened to him. I should not have let him go."

Elena now comforted Hayley, her own thoughts with Elijah.

New Orleans, days after

Elijah said goodbye to his sister Rebekah, who went shopping with her dear friend Camille. Klaus entered the house and went with Elijah to the Parlour.

"Any news?" Klaus asked.

"None." Elijah replied."Nothing comes or goes beyond Mystic Falls. The Army has cut all the correspondence and they are not letting anyone through still. Especially our kind."

"I know. They are afraid that we could get infected," Klaus said,"the imposed Quarantine is for a good reason."

"I just hope she is fine." Elijah said worried.

"Well, one thing is for sure, she is one woman that can look after herself."- Klaus said.

"That I do not doubt." Elijah said and looked through the window longinly, drifting away in his own daydream.

"How could I ever make amends for my behaviour?"

"Elijah, please-"

"My dear Elena, you coming to the house has taught me to hope as I scarcely allowed myself before. My affections are not changed, but one word from you would silence me on this subject forever. If however, your feelings have changed-"

Gif by mindxheart                 

"My feelings- oh, my feelings - they are - changed. They are very changed."

A footman now knocked at the door, walking in with a notice for the Mikaelson siblings.

Klaus took the note and as he read it, his face changing into a very grim one.

"What?" Elijah said.

Klaus passed the note to his brother and as Elijah read it, his heart stopped a beat. "No, dear Gods,no!"

"Dear Count Mikaelson,

 it grieves me to have to write this note to you. All the North-eastern front has been overtaken by the Hybrid Witches and the Hybrid Clans. I am sad to tell you that my dear friend Elena has perished with all the other Hunters. 

Sincerely, Valerie Salvatore." __________

ft. Klaroline

Story so far: Y/N got a letter from a lawyer from New Orleans that she had inherited a part of Mikaelson Estate. She will go there to find out what it was about, and meet two brothers Elijah and Klaus, who also part own the Estate. Why will love hurt?

a/n: thanks for reading and liking. I appreciate it very much. xoxo

Y/N got completely enthralled in the preparations for the Grand Ball. Everything had to be perfect as if it was a once in a lifetime thing. Mary, as well as Elijah and Klaus could not believe what a force this young woman was.

Her presence changed everything. She truly was the sunshine that brightened their lives. The house for sure, was very much alive.

And even though there were occasions when the Mikaelson brothers would sit down for meals together, now it seemed to be a daily occurrence.

One day as  Mary was dusting, she took a momemt  in front of the photos of Esther and Dahlia.

"Oh, Ms Dahlia and Ms Esther- if you could only be here. Everything feels like it once was. Y/N has removed the black clouds - at least for a bit. The dark one is still hanging over us. Klaus is back in the theater. She has put a smile on Elijah's face again, too."

Y/N, who was passing by the Salon and having heard the last sentence, she walked in wondering who Mary was talking to.

"Hi"- she slipped.

"Hello"- Mary said a bit startled.

"I was- ahm- sorry if I scared you- I didn't want to - intrude."

"You didn't."- Mary said-"I - sometimes - talk to them. I feel like - I have always done it after Ms Esther died. Maybe you find it strange."

"No, Mary. It's not strange. My friend Bonnie, who lost her Grams, has always done it. She believes that her Grams looks after her like a Guardian angel, and whenever she had any problems, she would talk to her - just like you - holding her picture."

"Ms Dahlia had also often done it asking her sister for guidance- whenever there was trouble with the boys."- Mary said referring to Elijah and Klaus.

"They've been in quite a lot of trouble, haven't they?"

"Quite a lot."- Mary said-"but let's not talk about the bad"

"Let's not"- Elijah said as he now walked in the room.

"Hey"- Y/N said to him-"you are early"

"My appointment got cancelled"- Elijah said-"we can go to the Plantation house whenever you want."

"We can go now. I am ready. "- Y/N said chirpily.

"All right"- Elijah nodded a little. And so, both said bye to Mary and went.

Mary turned to the photo of Dahlia and Esther saying- "I have not seen Elijah so smitten in a very long time. Klaus seems to like her very much as well. I just hope she doesn't come between them."

 ____

In the theatre,  in the French Quarter, Klaus  sat down at the table set on the stage and started reading the play. A woman walked from the audience area greeting him. Klaus greeted her back asking who she was.

"Caroline Forbes"- the woman said-"the new producer."

"I thought, Lucian Castle is going to produce this play."

"Well, he bailed."- Caroline said. 

"What is an off-Broadway chick doing here?"- Klaus continued knowing very well who Caroline Forbes was. 

"I just wanted a change of scenery. Also my boyfriend is doing a show here- and well"- Caroline said-"ok- where are the others?"

"There will be here."

"Not so professional, are they?"- Caroline now said furrowing her eyebrows-"Well, that will  soon change."

Klaus could see that there was no messing about with this woman. Soon as all the actors and the director were there, she showed them she meant business.

___________

At the Plantation house, Y/N was in full organizing mode going through every detail with the caterers, florist and decorators, she had made appointments with.

Elijah was also busy checking the grounds with Jackson, making sure that everything was perfectly done.

"Will you be able to do the work in two weeks?"- Elijah asked after he saw what needed to be done around the garden and the stables, as well as the two guest houses.

"We need to hire a few more people. Oliver has now his own construction business. And he knows how to work on these old houses. They will not charge us as much as the New Orleans constructors."- Jackson said.

"All right."- Elijah said-"make an appointment with him."

"You can meet him tonight. It's my birthday and we are having a little get together. You, Klaus and Y/N are invited."- Jackson said.

"Oh, happy birthday. I am sorry, I completely forgot."- Elijah said apolohetically to the grounds- keeper.

"Hey, don't worry. With everything that is going on even I messed up the days."

"What time? I will have Klaus bring Mary and Hope out. "

"Eight. I already spoke to Grams, but she says that she's got to stay in town because Hope has dancing lessons."- Jackson said.

"Mary looks after her like she is her own grandaughter."

"I know. She loves all of you like you are her extended family."- Jackson said.

"You would have been Hope's uncle if you Andrea - I am sorry, I didn't want to open all wounds."- Elijah now said, and seeing Jackson pained expression, felt he put his foot in it. 

"Yeah - if - huh- Her sister dying devastate her.” 

“She was her twin - it hurt like hell - I know that if anything happened to Klaus - I would be - the same”- Elijah now said- "You've not heard of her at all?"

"The last thing I've heard is that she is in Australia"- Jackson replied.

"You’re still in love her?!"- Elijah remarked.

"We were supposed to get married a couple of weeks after Hayley's due date."- Jackson reminded Elijah-"she is the love of my life."

"Yes, you two were so good together."- Elijah remembered.

Jackson made a little nod making a silent sigh.

Elijah felt bad evoking sadness in the man. He tapped him a little on the shoulder empathically and said-

"Let's grab a beer."

Jackson accepted and they went to the house.

There, in the kitchen, Y/N sat down with Jane-Anne Deveraux to sample different canapes and cakes.

Seeing the men come in she made a little wave at them- "Please, come and taste some of this. I don't want to make a choice on my own"

Jackson was reluctant, but Y/N urged him to sit down with her and the caterer while Elijah got the beer from the fridge, now asking Y/N if she wanted one.

"Thanks, but I've already tasted different champagne, so, I will stick to the champagne"- Y/N said showing the glass., adding- "I chose Couer de Cuvee. It was use the first time the Ball was held."

Y/N now passed a plate with the food to taste as he now sat down next to her. Jane- Anne passed another one to Jackson. Both men could not decide what was best, as everything was excellent. Finally, Y/N chose what will be served on the night. 

Not long after Jane- Anne and Jackson went, leaving Y/N and Elijah  to go through the list, to see what was left to be done. Y/N now, having found an old box with photos in Dahlia’s room, now asked the man to tell her about the Balls that were held there when they were kids. 

“It was always - Grand. Aunt Dahlia was a magician, I would say. It was - big and busy - majestic”-Elijah now described the splendour and glamour of the event, their aunt in the center of it, like the queen. 

"As came down the stairs and greet everyone welcoming them to the Ball, she would walk down where we would wait and she would take us both by the hand and we would walk to the center of the Ball room, where she would then make a small speech about the importance of family. When we became teenagers, we would take her by the arm and walk her to the podium. Then she would turn to the band and give them a sign to start the first dance. Since my uncle died long before we were born, she would open the dance with one of the workers on the Plantation. Each year it was someone different."

Y/N listened imagining how it was. And she already had ideas how to open the Ball.

"What live band are we going to ask to play? I went through the list, but none of them want to do it for the price we are able to give them."- she now asked.

" You better ask Klaus. Music is his department."- Elijah replied.

"Ok, so I will ask him."

Elijah looked at the clock and said-

"If we are going to Jackson's party, we should get changed."

Y/N looked at the clock herself now and jumped up- "OMG, is that the time?! Ok, I will have a quick shower."

"You don't need to rush."- Elijah said.

"Right."- Y/N said scampering away up the stairs to her room. Elijah, himself went to shower and change.

A little later, he knocked at her door and as she invited him in. He  entered saying-

"Jane- Anne left a bottle of a very good old Bourbon. I say we take it as a gift"

Y/N looked at herself in the mirror checking up the dress. She turned to him saying that it was fine.                 

She then brushed her hair once again, refreshing the make up.

Elijah stood still for a milisecond looking at her nearly breathless- 

                 Y/N turned her head smiling at him-

"I am ready."

Elijah composed himself quickly and said- "Ok, let's go."

Y/N picked her bag up and they left.

♡ In New Orleans

Caroline was very impressed with Klaus and his acting skills.

"Francesca said you will carry the play and I didn't believe it. How come you are an absolute unknown."

"Who says I am unknown?"- Klaus said-"you're really never been in New Orleans!"

"New York is my place."- Caroline said.

"You should get to know New Orleans. Maybe it will become your new place"- Klaus said flirtatiously-"we will all get together at Rousseau's later. You're welcome to join us.

"I keep work and social life separate."- Caroline said taking her bag ready to leave.

"Suit yourself"- Klaus said-"see you tomorrow" He then left as did she.

♡ Jackson Kenner's house

The party was in full swing as Y/N and Elijah arrived.

Everyone present knew Elijah and greeted him like he was a long lost friend. It had been a long while since he had seen everyone as he had spent the last five years in the city and came out very rarely to the Plantation house. Jackson introduced Y/N to everyone. They were dying to meet the mysterious woman who had inherited part of the Mikaelson properties. She was talk of the Bayou ever since  the word was out that she iniated the Ball.

Jackson's cousin Josie now went to Y/N with millions of questions about the Ball, as well as her, wanting to know where she actually came from and what connections she had with the Mikaelsons.

Elijah now took the opportunity to speak to Oliver about the renovation work. And after striking the deal it was all about the food, the drink and dancing. Y/N danced her heart out.

Elijah, who was standing leant on the pillar of the porch could not take his eyes off of her. She was fire, burning bright, so alive, so different, extraordinary. Again the fuzzy feelings appeared inside of him and he gazed at her dreamily.

As Josie asked her friends to play the Cajun dance song, and everyone found a partner to dance, Y/N went to the steps of the porch and sat down,looking up at Elijah asking him why he didn't dance. He had no plausible answer. 

“Haven’t dance in a very long time”- he just said.

Seeing that it was not so hard she now urged him to dance with her. He could not refuse her and they went to the dancing area and let themselves go with the music. For the first time in a very long time, he had fun. He now showed Y/N a completely different side to him. 

♡ A little later as they got back to the Plantation house

"I had a great time"- Y/N said getting out of the car.

"Me, too"- Elijah said-"It was really good."

As they walked to the grand porch they laughed a bit about the prank Jackson's friends played on the man presenting his car painted in pink-

"The look on his face- OMG- he thought that it was for real"- Y/N said chuckling.

"Yeah, it was priceless."- Elijah agreed smiling.

As Elijah looked for the keys, Y/N, taking her shoe rubbed her foot saying-

"I don't remember when I danced that much. And I wore flats. It's good we are having formal dances at the Ball, because the shoes I got with the gown would kill me. And you- wow- I never thought you can dance like that."

"There are some things you never unlearn"- Elijah said unlocking the door. They walked in and stopped as they got in exchanging looks-

" Well, good night then."- Y/N said.

"Night"- Elijah mumbled not moving his stare. 

Y/N, still feeling the residual rush of the party now moved to him and kissed him.

Day 59 // ft. Rhisiart, Weylin, and Matthieu Bernard

#24 / Whatever They Are

“You know we're always here for you, right?” Matthieu held Rhisiart's arms. “Sil and I have been trying to have a family for years. We know how scary pregnancy can be.”

Rhisiart had told Weylin he was going to be telling some of their coworkers, some of his friends. Though Rhisiart hadn't said anything, and would probably have felt safer, Weylin knew he didn't want him tagging along. Their coworkers didn't like him very much.

So instead he was watching from a distance, cloaked by a spell. If he got too close, he knew Rhisiart would be able to see him, the baby's natural magic adding to its mother's. And if Wilson got close, his horrid guardian spirit would reveal him.

“It's been really hard.”

“I'll bet. Lucian said he had a hell of a time carrying little Adel. Curses tend to make everything difficult.”

“It's  been more than that.”

“Silvia would be glad to talk to you, help ya through the rough spots. Ours might not have been half cursed, but we've had a bunch of different issues. Silvia likes to say there isn't a problem she hasn't coped with.” Rhisiart didn't say anything in response. Weylin could feel his anxiety from all the way down the hall. “So, who's the father? If you don't mind my asking.”

“Corbane.”

“Corbane's the father?”

“Yeah… The baby is half fae. That's what most of the problems are coming from. Corbane told me he'd be pretty surprised if I made it to term.”

He would be. He was already surprised it'd lasted this long. When he'd gotten Rhisiart pregnant, he'd believed that the man would miscarry rather quickly.

The Gods had other plans.

Matthieu was stunned. Rhisiart shifted uncomfortably, scratching at his wrist before settling his hands on his belly. Finally, Matthieu found his voice. “Well, uh… Humans and faeries can hybridize?”

Rhisiart nodded stiffly. “And survive past the first term.”

“How far along are you?”

“A little over five months. It, uh… Remember that party we had a while back?”

“Oh. I wondered where you'd gotten off to.” He frowned, furrowing his brows. “Wait, you were really drunk. And somebody was popping minor intensity spells that made Corbane stumble around like he was intoxicated. Ah… Who have you told?”

“I told Corbane the day after I found out. And I told Lucian a month ago.” Matthieu nodded, glad that Rhisiart had told someone who could help him. “Then a week later I told Jeremiah, cause I keep getting too sick to teach. And the faery students all know. They can sense it, I think. Plus, they won't let me practice Otherball with them.”

Weylin had had a short talk with all the fae students shortly after he'd released the masking spell on Rhisiart. As children, they didn't understand the gravity of what he'd done, but they could be trusted not to do any harm. It was nice to know that they were taking it to the next level to keep Rhisiart safe.

“Really?”

“I tried to do it a few weeks after I realized I was pregnant, and Uau neutralized my magic. Um, can you not tell anyone else…? I'm kind of worried it'll get to the Board too quickly… And I know there's some people in the building who really won't be excited about the idea of the first human-fae hybrid.”

“I'll keep quiet, I promise.”

“Thanks. I think I'll go talk to Silvia before Corbane springs up on me and makes me change my mind about telling people.”

“He doesn't think it's safe?” Weylin thought it was a wretched idea, but Rhisiart was getting too big for even his thick coats to properly hide, so he accepted Rhisiart's logic that it was necessary to tell before rumors got out of hand.

He didn't see why Rhisiart had to admit that the baby was half fae, though. Everyone had eventually accepted Lucian's story of being pregnant with a half cursed human child, not knowing who the father was. Rhisiart could have told the same tale.

Rhisiart shook his head. “Like I said. It's the first hybrid. A lot of people aren't going to be thrilled with the idea. He's worried someone will try to… silence the issue.”

“Have you told your family?”

“I don't have a family.”

“Rhisiart… Valerie's family.”

“No… I don't know how to tell them. I haven't seen them in a while.”

“Let me guess, in five months?” Rhisiart shrunk in on himself. “That's alright, friend. Tell them when you're ready. What about Corbane? Does his family know?”

“Probably. I don't know how often he talks to them. He said he's the family head, and that's, like… spiritually important, so I think they'll be happy since he is. Something about their Gods shining down on them, and a new era… I didn't really listen when he started babbling about it.”

Well, that was disappointing. He'd thought he'd had Rhisiart's attention for that.

“That's good, I think. So, you going to be brushing up on your obscure faery religion for the baby?”

“I'll let Corbane be in charge of that. Religion's really not my thing. And I don't really understand what he's talking about when he says stuff about his Gods. I can't tell if they're benevolent or malevolent or what. The fae students always look scared when he's praying, so they're obviously not very popular, whatever his Gods really are.”

Weylin couldn't bear to hear Rhisiart speak that way about the Gods, so he turned and left, huffing.

Flufftober Day 6g Lightway ft Garrowbane BROTP)

A knock sounded against the door of the loft.

Magnus groaned, he wasn’t supposed to have a client for at least three hours. He dragged himself out of the empty bed, Alec had gone early that morning due to dealing with a nasty nest of ravener demons.

He magicked on a robe and sweats before the door opened to reveal Luke, holding two cups of coffee.

Magnus grinned in hope as he waved Luke in. “Do tell me one of those is for me Luke.”

Luke sighs as he passed one to him. “I guess I deserve that for waking you up. But I do need your advice.”

“What is it?” Magnus questioned.

Luke pulls out a medium sized box and slides it across the counter to Magnus. “You know jewelry more than I do. Think this is nice for Maryse?”

Magnus opened the box and his eyes went wide in awe. “Luke if you don’t give her this I will personally kick your ass. This is gorgeous.”

Luke smirked. “Glad I picked something decent. I’m taking her to dinner tonight after I give her this. I’m just hoping I don’t screw this up.”

Magnus smiled as he closed the box and slid it back to him. “You’ll be fine Luke. Maryse will be thrilled.” He assured.

Luke smiled. “Thanks man. Though technically that other coffee was for Maryse.”

Magnus rolled his eyes but snapped his fingers. “Send Maryse my regards.” He says as another cup of coffee appears in Luke’s hand.

~~~

“Lucian?” Maryse calls. Luke looks over at her, her long black dress showcasing her figure, her long black hair falling down her back like a dark waterfall.

She looked so beautiful...

“Maryse you look amazing. Though I have something for you.” He states as he hands her the box.

Maryse takes the box and opens it to reveal a sterling silver angel with a heart-shaped emerald set into it with emerald circular studs. She gasps in surprise as Luke steps up behind her and puts his arms around her.

“Regardless of your runes, you’ve always been my angel.” Luke whispers in her ear.

Maryse blushes slightly but smiles as he turns in his arms and pulls him into a deep kiss, her arms wrapped around his neck as his held her close.

“Thank you Luke. These are beautiful.” She whispers.

Luke smiled as he picked the necklace up and gently placed it around her neck, making sure the clasp was in place before leaving a slight kiss to her neck as she fixed her earrings.

“I love you Maryse.” Luke whispers in her ear.

Maryse smiles. I love you too.”

The two kiss again, softer and sweeter as they slowly sway in their bedroom, the rest of the world forgotten as they hold each other close, trading soft kisses and blissful laughter.

tagged by @oh-no-another-idea, thank you! my words are tragic, travel, trust, and trim. here’s some more Valloroth excerpts, ft Zander being Zander

[ID - a green and black decorative divider]

tragic(ally)

“It’s different for humans than it is for imps,” Zander said. “We are but short-lived creatures, flitting through life a mere handful of decades before we tragically perish. Our passions are fleeting.” “That’s a rather derogatory term for infernii, Mister Crow, and I’ll thank you not to use it,” Leshanna said primly. “And I may not be human either, but even I know you are talking nonsense.” “I’m using it with the greatest affection, Miss Leshanna. And anyway, what would you know? How many dear loves have you gone through?” He cocked his head. “Come to think of it, how old are you, exactly? I never can tell with elves.”

travel

Lucian sighed, and pushed his plate aside, appetite suddenly gone. “It was the horns, wasn’t it?” “They are a bit of giveaway. I’m Quest, by the way. It’s wild that one of you lot are here—not that I’ve got a problem with Naazgarans,” they added quickly. “Just rare to see one, especially a Prince. You by yourself, or do you have a whole retinue or whatever it is Princes travel with?” “Just me,” Lucian said, hoping as he did so that he wasn’t about to be dragged out the back of the inn and robbed. “I’m Lucian, and this is Aliyne.” “Hi, I’m also here,” Aliyne drawled.

trust

“Careful, highness.” Aliyne’s voice made him jump. How she always moved so silently was a mystery he’d given up trying to solve. She tugged his arm. “I don’t entirely trust Leshanna’s magic to catch you if you fall.” He wouldn’t need it. Even if he tried to hurl himself upon the lethal rocks below, it wouldn’t work. He let her pull him pack a few paces.

trim(med)

The clearing they’d chosen was wide and, as of that morning, cleared of any major trip-hazards. Hiding—poorly, in a pale-blue dress and lace-trimmed shawl—in the trees nearby, was Leshanna. She had her spellbook balanced precariously in one hand, a small spindle of thread in the other, and was both sweating and frowning profusely.

for @ffxv-ladiesweek  (VERY, VERY LATE I AM SORRY)

Day 2: Luna and Stella growing up together

“Which of them will be the Oracle?” people ask their mother after smiling at them, kindness and hope in their eyes.

They don’t understand why their mother’s eyes are almost sad when she answers, “We shall see.”

(ft. my hopes and dreams)

When they are children, it’s difficult to tell them apart.

They share everything. The color of their hair before Stella’s will darken. The blue of their eyes. Quirks and preferences. White clothes that match.

They share memories together, share an afternoon in the field of Sylleblossoms, barely tall enough to see over them, running after a laughing Ravus. He always smiles in their memories.

They share a bed at night - hesitant as they are to be alone - huddled close together as their mother reads them stories about gods and kings and a grand destiny.

“Which of them will be the Oracle?” people ask their mother after smiling at them, kindness and hope in their eyes.

It is a word they don’t understand, a question they can’t comprehend. They don’t know that their mother is being asked which of them will be shackled to fate. Which of them will be burdened with a weight that can’t be shared.

They don’t understand why their mother’s eyes are almost sad when she answers, “We shall see.”

When they are eight, Stella finds that there are people that only Luna can see.

They are in the gardens on a bright summer’s day after escaping their guards and Ravus, weaving grasses and delicate flowers into crowns. It is only after they’ve finished that Stella notices the second one in Luna’s hands.

“Is that for mother?” she asks, then laughs as a thought occurs to her. “Or for Ravus?”

“No,” Luna answers with a smile, then gestures to the empty space beside her. “It’s for her.”

Stella blinks, but doesn’t say anything. It wasn’t uncommon these days to find Luna speaking to herself, acknowledging someone that wasn’t there. Ravus had told their mother it was just an imaginary friend, a moment lost to an active mind. Stella didn’t miss the way their mother’s smile was knowing.

But Luna, as always, reads the confusion in the split second.

“You can’t see her?” she asks.

And Stella can only shake her head.

“What does she look like?” she asks in return. In secret, she hopes that if Luna tells her, she’ll be able to see it to.

“Beautiful,” Luna answers, breathy and full of wonder. “Like a fairy.”

Later in life, they learn that she is a messenger of the goddess.

When they are twelve, the young prince of Lucis visits them to heal from an attack on his life.

Neither of them have been chosen yet, so they both see to his recovery as part of their training. He’s good for company, a fast friend. They haven’t met many other children their age who aren’t told in hushed tones by their parents, “Show respect, those girls are the Oracle’s blood.”

But Noctis laughs and listens and stumbles the way they think a normal friend would. He listens earnestly to Luna’s stories and flusters when Stella gently bullies him for any number of small things. His father ruffles their hair when they all pass by together on the way to the gardens or the libraries.

They like the Lucians.

So it isn’t with the usual weight that the question comes to them as they sit about in the fading light, talking about the stories from their childhood.

“If- If I’m the Chosen,” Noctis stumbles around the words, and Stella knows he’s thinking about the question he wants to ask, still isn’t sure how to form it. “Which of you is gonna be the Oracle?”

“For that,” Luna answers after sharing a smile with her sister. “Neither of us has been chosen yet.”

“Either way,” Stella says with a teasing grin. “We both have the Oracle’s blood. There’s magic enough in either of us to push you along if you get lost, little prince.”

But even as she says it, Stella knows who will be chosen between the two of them. Between the two of them, it’s Luna who has always had the strongest magic, the brightest light.

When they are twelve, Stella knows that her sister will become the Oracle, and that she will be the knight at her side as they fight for their great destiny.

When they are twelve, their dreams of a great destiny burn with their mother and their home.

When they are twelve, Lunafreya is unflinching as she cradles her sister in her arms while Imperial soldiers surround them, lowering guns until they can see down the muzzles.

When they are twelve, Stella feels warmth coming from her sister’s hands, can feel the hole in her shoulder from a stray bullet closing, the pain fading until Ravus’ wails in the distance become clear as day.

When they are twelve, Stella knows that her sister will become the Oracle, and that she will protect her from the evils of this Empire, of this world.

When they are thirteen, Luna takes to the libraries, takes to the tutelage of that woman Stella can’t see, her only remaining mentors to guide her on the path of the Oracle.

When they are thirteen, Stella takes to the sword.

When they are sixteen, Luna receives the blessing of the Oracle and with it, the entirety of their mother’s burden.

Stella is there for her afterwards as she shakes in her arms. Luna doesn’t cry out loud, she is stubborn in that way, but Stella can feel the moisture soak into the cloth of her shoulder as something cold and painful curls in her chest, squeezes.

She never anticipated having to protect Luna from her own duty, from the visions that came with being the Oracle. From the nightmares of the future.

“I don’t,” Luna chokes and sucks in a few heaving breaths before the next words spill out of her mouth, soft and afraid. “I don’t want to die. I don’t want either of us to die.”

Just hearing it is enough. Hot rage fills the cold places. The pain becomes searing, motivating.

“Then you won’t,” Stella says, fervent even as her voice shakes with emotion. “Then you won’t.”

And Luna doesn’t say a word, but she takes in another heaving breath and the arms around her sister stop shaking, cling tighter.

When they are sixteen, the two of them share the burden once more.

When they are twenty-two, Stella sees the woman who appeared to Luna as a child.

It’s a tense situation, the Empire had caught whiff of their plans to escape in the chaos of the Lucian treaty and Stella had only just managed to race to their home to warn Luna. They were moments from escape, steps from the extraction point Stella had arranged an airship to meet them at when the woman appeared before them seemingly from nowhere. Long black hair framing a serene face, eyes shut and smile enigmatic.

She’s beautiful. Like a fairy.

“Why now?!” Stella shouts out all her rage and frustration for their past and their future. For the cruelties of the gods and their messengers. “I’m not the Oracle, why show yourself to me now?!”

The woman smiles that serene smile. “You may not be the Oracle, child, but you still share the Oracle’s blood. The Oracle’s fate. Do you wish to overturn it so readily?”

“Gentiana,” Luna answers, holding Stella’s rage back with one unshaking hand on her shoulder. Her voice is firm and steady. “Let us pass. We know the future we seek is a difficult one, but if fate truly must be overturned for this painful cycle to end, then this is the path we must walk.”

“Dangerous words,” the woman says with that inscrutable smile. “But I have watched the two of you for many years, long enough to know that you fear not the danger.”

“I fear neither danger nor you,” Stella insists, drawing her blade and ignoring Luna’s quiet plea of her name.

But Gentiana’s smile never falters, grows almost imperceptibly wider. “Strong hearts, strong minds, such is the blessing of your family. Danger you will face, but you are well equipped to face it. The girls I see are strong enough to reach the end of the path they seek.”

It is certainly not the answer they were anticipating. Stella frowns and looks to her sister to find a mirror image of surprise etched on her face.

It is Luna who speaks first, tentative and hopeful, “Is this your blessing, Gentiana?”

“That I cannot give you, regardless of what my wish may be,” the woman says and for the first time, her smile breaks into the beginnings of a frown. “But I can make you a promise: should you walk down this path, the world will change. Everything and all. I cannot say how, only that you should be ready.”

“And we are,” Stella spits. “Now get out of our way.”

Luna scarcely has time to scold her before the doors burst open and Stella curses under her breath.

She tightens the grip on her sword, blood roaring in her ears. Luna’s hand on her shoulder tenses and she knows her sister must feel the same as the noises of the men who have come to capture them surround them, loud and harsh, a cacophony of footsteps and shouted orders.

Then suddenly, it is still.

Stella is the one who chances a look over her shoulder, hand still steady on her blade. What she finds is a room full of soldiers, guns drawn and ready for battle, frozen in place.

The breath of bewildered confusion she releases is visible in the chill of a room coated in ice.

“This is my last gift to you, blood of the Oracle,” the woman says, startling Stella out of her reverie. “More will come, but for now at least, you have the advantage of time.”

“Thank you, Gentiana,” Luna says, hurried and urgent, and grabs her sister’s to drag her by the hand.

But Stella frowns and pauses as they move to pass the woman.

“Why?” is the only question she manages to ask from the overwhelming sea of them in her head.

“I have lived a long time, and the question I find myself asking the most is the very one that you have asked me,” Gentiana says with that same enigmatic smile from before. And yet, somehow, this one feels real. “Perhaps it is time for the age of the Crystal to end. Now, go. Overthrow the fate you are chained to, forge the future you wish to see.”

When they are twenty-two, Stella asks Luna in the airship that takes them from the battlefield that had become of their home, “Who was she?”

“The goddess Shiva,” Luna answers, her tone just tinged with annoyance as Stella blanches before her. “Now you see why I tried to get you to stop.”

“She was an obstacle,” Stella tries to shrug despite the realization like ice on her back. The men who came for them were frozen in seconds. “And a blessing, I suppose.”

“A blessing indeed,” Luna says, and it is genuine.

The line of her back is no longer the tense and taut thing it always was when they were on the ground, when they were prisoners in their own home. When they navigated the maze of the Empire with the threat of death hanging over them always.

Here in the air, they don’t have to be the puppets of the empire.

Here in the air, they are not the Oracle nor the general.

Here in the air, they are sisters.

They are free.

“Where to, princesses?” their pilot calls back. Despite her claims of purely monetary interests, Aranea had readily accepted when Stella had come to her, desperate and afraid, with orders that would make her an enemy of the empire. She would have to find a way to thank her, someday.

“The capital of Lucis,” Luna says, a determination in every word. “And then, in time, to the Disc of Cauthess.”

When they are twenty-two, they escape the chains of the Empire and the fate they are tied to.

When they are twenty-four, they forge the future they have wished for all their lives.

When they are twenty-five, they watch the sunrise.

me, lounging on a roof in my leather jacket: hey maybe if luna had any kind of emotional support she would have been more resistant to the gods telling her that the only way to a happy ending was to die. anyway, death of the author and all that and thank god for aranea

anyway, hope you enjoyed! likes, comments and reblogs appreciated!!

[quinndecker]

Name: Quinn Raylee Decker

Race: Human

Height: 5'1 ft

Hair color: white

Eye color: blue/ yellow heterochromia in right eye

Skin color: pale

Age: 25

Gender: female

Alignment: chaotic good

Other: bionic right arm.

Thoughts on other characters

Rick: her best friend, one of few people she feels truly comfortable around.... also kinda has crush on him. So what if he's an android?

Emiko: A close friend and someone who understands her.

Marty: rival/friend? Being the leader of the Black Spades Gang Quinn has some mixed feelings about him. But they have a deal, Marty rats out his rivals to Quinn and she gets them arrested. In exchanged she turns a blind eye to his activities on one condition, no civilians or anyone not involved gets hurt.

Lucian: the equivalent to a favorite uncle, will the nickname "uncle Lu"

Tyrone: still can't exact but her finger on him yet....

----

A private detective living and working in Boston in the year 2056.

Quinn is comes across as rather crass, straight forward and not caring but this is often used to mask her loneliness and insecurities.

She has trouble getting close to people because she's been betrayed and had her heart broken so many times. This is probably the reason she's so close to her partner Rick.

She can often be ignorant to the feeling of others and is basically the ultimately socially awkward and emotional wreck. As she also has depression, anxiety and PTSD.

On top of all that she really doesn't like ask help..... ever....

One of the reasons she's still alive is because of Rick..

She is still suffering from her father, Marcus' supposed 'suicide'....she still toys with the idea of it being a murder.

Beautiful Homes of Instagram

  Hello, everyone. It’s great to start this brand new week with you here! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy seeing this inspiring “Beautiful Homes of Instagram”.

Today, I have the pleasure to have Jessica Dolan of @2540loveandco. Jessica and her husband have completely renovated their 70’s home to accommodate their busy family style. Jessica is an interior designer and they also have an online shop with a very important goal: “Inspired by Matthew 25:40, Tom and Jessica Dolan have brought together their passion for creating beautiful spaces and a conviction to help people in need. The Dolans believe each of us has unlimited potential to change the world through small acts of kindness and expressions of gratitude. In collaboration with their favorite charities, they serve the ‘least of these’ around the world by donating a portion of all proceeds from 25:40 love. “

Here, the homeowner shares more about her beautiful home:

  When Luciane first asked me if I would like to be featured on her beautiful blog, I was flattered. I’m honored to be among all the lovely homes of Instagram that provide so much inspiration for me.

Upon first seeing this 1970s home, we knew we wanted to make major changes. We took it down to the studs, opening up all the main living areas, adding a powder bath and master suite in place of two main floor bedrooms with one shared hall bath. We started with a neutral base of traditional materials and layered with texture and pattern.

I hope you enjoy seeing all of the details below!

  Interior Design: Jessica Dolan, 25:40 love

Location: Bowling Green, KY

  Beautiful Homes of Instagram

All the interior walls were removed in the living room. White shiplap replaced drywall to create a neutral backdrop while providing interest and texture. We chose a natural fiber rug layered with a vintage rug, a pair of leather sofas and a custom built coffee table for this space. We layered buffalo check, mudcloth and other patterned pillows on the sofas which provide visual interest (and comfort) without being too matchy-matchy.

House Size/Year Built: 3000 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. The house was built in 1971.

Ceiling Light: Rejuvenation.

Entry

 The front door was changed to a 4 light wooden door to allow as much natural light as possible. The coat closet was removed allowing more space in the master suite located on the other side of the wall. The carpeted stairs and wooden handrail were removed and replaced with white oak hardwood treads finished with a custom European oil finish and custom metal railing. A door was added under the stairs to take advantage of the storage space.

Narrow Lot Modern Farmhouse

  We often see TV shows transforming homes that are falling apart into dream homes, but that’s not so hard to do when you have a big team working against the time to show the beautiful results. Don’t get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan of some of these shows and some of them can certainly be trend setters, but today I want to showcase a builder and designer that could envision a new modern farmhouse on a really narrow lot in a real fixer-upper neighborhood. That’s the type of work I can really admire. Keep reading to know more:

  “Hi everyone! My name is Amanda of @Nest_Builders_. I’m so excited to contribute to Home Bunch! My company Nest Builders Development & Design Co. builds and renovates homes in Richmond, Va.

With each home I build I try to incorporate current trends and timeless style while staying some what true to the style of other homes in the neighborhood. I call this project “The Urban Farmhouse.” This new construction home is located in the city along side Italianate homes. This home is only 15 ft. wide so keeping the floor plan open and the design as as light and bright as possible was very important. We kept the exterior style of the home similar to the other homes on this block but we added the board and batten siding, white exterior paint, and black windows to give it an updated and on trend look. We made the front porch low to the ground to also give the home some southern charm. The roof is a flat TPO roof similar to the other homes on this block.”

It was very important to me that we kept this house affordable but I wanted it to feel luxurious. I used a granite that mimics marble to get that same look and upgraded the lights and cabinet pulls. The polished nickel coloring of the lights balance the black of the pulls to make the kitchen feel fresh but warm and inviting.

If I am wrong, right me. If I am lost, guide me. If I start to give-up, keep me going.

Lead me in Light and Love”.
