Spent the first 2 hours of my 30s watching my best friend play Return of the Obra Dinn while half asleep in the world's comfiest chair. Let that be an omen for the coming decade, whatever it may be.

I’m Going to Ramble About Dragons...
So, it started with this picture I found of a naga:
Tumblr media
...and then continued with a convo I had with a friend:
“I look at this and IMMEDIATELY think: “Now THAT’S a fucking oriental dragon.” They remind me of a lighthouse: When you see one, you know it’s a warning for danger, but to those who know it well see it as a guardian for safety. A terrifying guardian, but a gentle giant indeed. The true testament on one of the many definitions on what a “dragon” truly is.“
“I hope to give a good description whenever you guys see a dragon. Their commonality in media kinda downplays how crazy they are, so I'll try do a good job of setting the scene when the time comes.“
“Here’s the thing, yeah, dragons are scary creatures, and they have a sort of beauty that comes with it. Media tries to express that mostly, but they miss out the part of what they symbolically mean in history and stories: A fantastic beast of terrifying, majestic power that has the presence of an angel and/or demon. Yeah, a lot of art shows them as this scrawny lizard with wings, but the stories paint them in such a way that they are so much more than just an animal, but a physical presence of a powerful feeling. Not too far off from the way Lovecraft describes the feeling of how his monsters are instead of what they look like.“
“Dragons are terrifying, and they are beautiful. But th big thing is that they aren't just another monster.They're inherently magical. Not just enhanced or changed by magic, but a creature born of magic.“
“Which makes them so fucking amazing! They are born of MAGIC, not science, so they make sense to break some rules and go into supernatural territory. It’s kind of why I love the Spyro franchise so much. The originals set up how metaphorically human they are, with being social animals and loving to create and protect the things they care about, and The Legend gives them the mind-boggling, fantastical magic power they have. Dragons aren’t just a mythological creature, it is THE mythological creature. Unicorns are a good second XD It’s also really amazing that dragons, metaphorically and soul wise, are absolutely real; it’s just us humans. We may not have magic, but we prove our likeness through actions, good and bad. We save people and animals on the brink of death, we defy death with enough willpower in either rage or love, we create things out of nothing, we touch and change people through those creations, we see things as more than just what they seem to be, we stand by and protect what we love, etc. In addition, what we have exactly in common is our free will to do what we want, whether good or evil, intentional or unintentional. We are just magicless, lame looking dragons XD“
...and then this song, “Love Exists“ sung by Amy Lee played in the background:
“ It can be born anywhere In the last place you'd expect In a way you'd never dream It can grow from nothing And blossom in a second A single glance is all it takes To get inside you
Invading every thought And every beat of your heart Love can make you scream And it can leave you speechless Love has a thousand stems But only one flower
It can grow alone 'til it turns to dust It can tear your world apart or bind to you forever It can grow in darkness, make its own light Turn a curse into a kiss Change the meaning of your world
Love makes no sense, love has no name Love drowns you in tears and it sets your heart on fire Love has no fear, love has no reason So infinitely vast and we're standing at the edge Take my hand, erase the past forever My love is you, my love you are
Love makes no sense, love has no name Love is never wrong and never needs a reason I'm drowning in my tears but my heart's on fire
It can make you better, it can change you slowly And give you everything you want, ask for nothing in return In the blink of an eye, the hint of a smile In the way you say goodbye, and every time you find me
Love makes no sense, love has no name Love drops you in tears and it sets your heart on fire Love has no fear, love has no reason
Love makes no sense, love has no name Love drowns you in tears and it sets your heart on fire Love has no fear, love has no reason
My love is you, my love you are My love is you, my love you are“
I started getting really teary eyed about dragons just now. Like I said, media likes showing how a dragon looks and act, but never what they actually mean, which is a thousand things. I was thinking dragons have a trifecta of... something. Power? The Trifecta of Power: Love, Hate, Apathy. The good power, the bad power, and the absence of power. Dragons aren’t born like an animal or beast, it’s born from the fantasy and imagination the mind and soul has, and people really forget how powerful that actually is. The body is limited, but the soul/mind is infinite, and that reflects on who dragons are: Imagination, emotion, and thoughts, and their physical form is just something to simplify all that power together.
TL;DR Dragons in media are fucking nothing on what a real dragon is, and we are probably never going to see the exact representation of one. The closest would be us people, and even though we lack the magic portion, we make up for it with our minds.

Documentaries [Part 1]: What We Do In The Shadows
You guys know Paranormal Activity? or The Blair Witch Project? I’m going to assume that you do because its been quite popular in terms of the style of the film.  Today, I wanted to talk about some found footage films that I have gazed upon and maybe share it with you guys. First, What We Do In The Shadows.
Its 6 PM In The Night-Time
"And this is when I wake up," said Viago who is currently 379 years old but looks a lot like a young Taika Waititi. That statement might get you kinda confused cause...What? Let me explain. In 2013, a group of cameramen has been granted access to a highly secretive society. They wore crucifixes and were guaranteed protection by the subjects of the film.
What We Do In The Shadows follows three different centuries of vampires. Viago you already know but we also have Deacon (183 years old) and Vladislav (862 years old). The film follows the daily lives of these three very out of date folks in modern New Zealand. Oh, and there is Petyr who is 8,000 years old.
As the film progresses, we learn more about vampires in general. Their relationships with others like them, their enemies and the other creatures of the dark. We also follow Deacon's a human familiar, Jackie. We learn about their personal histories like Deacon's Nazi Vampire background and Vlad's old name; Vladislav The Poker and his rivalry with The Beast. We also learn about Viago's human crush.
In the second half of the film, we follow a new blood vampire; Nick and his human friend; Stu who got involved in some very interesting antics with this band of the supernatural. Overall, it's a good film about these powerful beings being put into this modern world where the mundane becomes unique and the unique becomes mundane.
There is also a TV show under the same title where it follows four new vampires in modern America but that's a whole other story.
Tumblr media
We Decided Not To Eat Stu
Overall, a very good film but what I think is great about What We Do In The Shadows is that the filmmakers know the actual lore about vampires and use it poke fun of how silly they are. The curse of immortality with limitations can be very sad for the core three characters and the fact that they are far more understanding about the mundane human mortality, mainly Stu's is perhaps the most interesting of them all. The characters may be cold-blooded killers but they are also understanding and plain fun.
from a film-making standpoint, it's highly praised for taking the genre and poking it (no, not like Vlad.) to death in a playful way. They reference classics like The Lost Boys, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Interview with the Vampire and also isn't afraid to take jabs and inspirations from Blade, Twilight and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. So, yeah. This film is great!
You're Dead and Out of This World
Final note, What We Do In The Shadows takes the dark supernatural elements and paints them in a very mundane and silly light where the serious tones are done in a "not try too hard" way. It pokes fun of (no, not like Vlad! You idiot!) the classic and modern vampire shows which I think would generate laughs all around for everyone.
Often times we see these shows as dark and gloomy. But in truth, they are just like everyone else who is actively trying to live and find meaning to live in this modern world that no longer believes in supernatural monsters and magic.

🎃 The Cooper House by @satelliteinasupernova | T
“Let’s go to a haunted house, Jughead,” Jellybean had said. “It’ll be fun,” she said.
Except, now he was turned around somewhere in a dark hallway; alone. With no source of light nearby, he could barely make out his surroundings. Tentatively, he reached out to use the wall to guide him, taking one step at a time. The surface of the wall was uneven and with each step he felt another notch as his hand moved across one panel of wood to the next. The floor creaked softly under his feet. Here in the dark, it was unnervingly quiet. The only other sound he could hear was of the wind passing through the trees outside the house.
“Hey, JB?” he called out. “Where the hell did you go?”

Single Mom Betty doesn’t think she can face Halloween this year. She just wants a quiet night in with her daughter. Jughead’s not so sure.
THE HOUSE IS NOT HAUNTED by @satelliteinasupernova | T
“For the hundredth time, the house is not haunted,” said Gladys Jones as she lifted another box from the U-haul to carry into the house. “Now, go help your brother carry your things to your bedroom.”
JB huffed, and marched over to Jughead, reaching for her box of vinyl records, “How else did we get this place so cheap? You know it’s because that girl disappeared here.”
Silently, Jughead agreed with her, but he was getting tired of the argument. He knew JB wasn’t bringing this up to stop them from moving into the new house, she just wanted their mom to admit that was the reason they could even afford it. Gladys Jones wasn’t one to own up to her own methods, much less admit weakness.

Betty can't help but hope she receives one from the only boy who's ever captured her heart, Jughead Jones.
the key to (harm)ony by @lovedinapastlife | E
Everything else falls away, even her mother, sister, and Geraldine, when he steps towards her, untethered and confident with the grace of a circulating fountain. Up close, his eyes are blue - brilliant and deep like Sweetwater River, just on the verge of a knowing wink. His long spider-leg lashes flutter as he exhales in a hum of satisfaction, and the longer she looks at him the more it feels like she’s in the tub, water rising up over her chin until she can’t breathe.
“Hello, Betty,” he says with a soft, secret smile, and her heart rattles.
~~~
Betty resents her drunken mother's attempt to replace the recently deceased Charles with a stranger, his enigmatic half-brother Jughead. It's almost like he's waiting for the right moment to please her, to slink into her latest mystery and submerge her in something foreign: Freedom.

the strange death of Elizabeth Cooper by @wolfofansbach | T
Betty Cooper, after a long struggle with illness, has passed away. Except–she hasn’t, because against all rhyme and reason, she awakens on the coroner’s slab, hale and healthy. The illness is gone, and she couldn’t be in better condition, to the weeping relief of her friends and family, not least of all her longtime boyfriend, Jughead Jones. No real explanation is forthcoming, but what does it really matter, when Betty is alive? And he can discount the occasional oddity in her behavior. She’s been through a lot, after all. Except, as the days go by and the strange happenings pile on, Jughead begins to suspect that whatever it is that crawled out of the grave that day isn’t really Betty Cooper.

Supernatural TippiTV Recap: 14-13 “Lebanon”
Okay before we get started. This is a long one and while I think it's pretty funny if I do say so myself, there's also a lot of me just... frickin ranting about John Winchester and rushed plots. If you loved this episode and don't want to see someone snarking about it, this might not be the recap for you.
On the other hand if you're like me and come from the TWoP tradition of snarking about the things we love most, then come on in!
THEN!
Two children talk about how their dad is on a hunting trip and hasn't been home in a while.
Tumblr media
Oh wait... holy crap it's Sam and Dean. It took a sec to recognize them without the gravelly voices and almost 14 years of soul-crushing despair.
We also get a reminder of very recent episodes, including the one where Mary learns about the time John threw young Dean's food away because it reminded him of her. It's important to remember what an abusive, hardened asshole John Winchester was... so that we can forget it! Forget it all!
[insert video of recapper letting out a Klingon scream]
NOW!
Sam and Dean mosey on into a pawn shop that I'm positive is in the US because they never leave the US but there's a sign that says the shop buys "jewellery" which is how they spell it in places that also spell "flavor" with a u. Dean flashes a big wad of cash to get the broker to show them "the good stuff."
By this, he means the magical goods, although the secret room looks like a high school drama department prop closet.
Tumblr media
Dean says they're looking for the skull of a woman who was executed during the Salem witch trials. While the broker goes looking for it, Sam picks up a teddy bear from, you know, a shelf full of cursed and magical items because it's not as if stuffed animals have ever been dangerous. <cue ironic flashback>
Tumblr media
Luckily he's warned away from it before he can unleash some kind of... Pooh demon... probably.
Anyway, it turns out having the skull proves that the broker killed a friend of theirs or something... Honestly, very little of this is going to have any bearing on anything. Long story short, fisticuffs ensue and Dean shoots the broker while he's expositing to Sam. "They always talk too much," Dean says.
Tumblr media
Sam and Dean decide to take a bunch of magical items home with them. Although... what if they rightfully belong to other peop---ah screw it.
Okay now... here comes a long, boring subplot about teenagers back in Lebanon, Kansas. The main thing that's pertinent to the show is that Sam and Dean have a certain reputation around town. And no wonder! They park right in front these teenagers and start talking about shit they would never want anyone to hear.
Tumblr media
They head into the world's skimpiest liquor store and the owner addresses them as "the Campbell brothers." Say whaaaat? Have they been using their mom's maiden name for a while and I just missed it? I mean, I guess it makes sense because... Actually, I don't remember how much stuff is still in their world about the infamous Winchesters. Like I legit can't remember if Charlie or someone erased their FBI/police records or if it was just some fanon someone told me about.
Also, nothing says "real liquor store" like shelves of bottles turned so that their name brands don't show.
Tumblr media
Anyway, Sam stage-whispers to Dean about an ancient Chinese pearl that grants "what your heart desires."
Tumblr media
The plan is to get Michael out of his head, but they notice someone is driving off with the Impala. They run out to confront one of the teenagers about it. He confesses that a girl named Max is the culprit, so that we can spend several minutes on this subplot instead of the much more emotional and important main plot.
I mean, we go from the post office to a pizza joint to an old house on the edge of town to catch up to the Impala. Max has apparently brought all that lethal “secret” stuff inside for a party. The camera lingers on that teddy bear again as if it's going to be important to the plot later.
Tumblr media
Max, the car thief, has a crush on a girl and ISTG I was prepared to be mad if she died. Like I don't even want this whole subplot at all but I'd be puh-hissed if they had queer characters on just to kill one. Luckily I was wrong and neither of them die. However, the dialog is killing me. "I'm sooo excited for pizza." Tell me you can't imagine Lumpy Space Princess saying that.
Apparently the ghost of John Wayne Gacy (sigh) was waiting for the kids to go in search of pizza before oozing out of a cigar box the Winchesters brought from the pawn shop.
Tumblr media
Why is his ghost dressed as a clown? I mean yes I know Gacy was a children's party clown, but it's not like he died in that outfit. Aren't ghosts supposed to be wearing what they died in? OH GOD WHY DO I CARE.
The Winchesters show up and scoot everyone out of the house, but not before at least one kid sees the ghost. Sam zeroes in on the cigar box and Dean points out how Sam's love of serial killers and hatred of clowns are in conflict.
Tumblr media
Of course, some of the kids come back in just as the ghost goes up in flames. Sam and Dean decide to just... tell them the whole truth instead of just lying. Like..."Yo, one of the things you stole was secret holographic tech and you could face prison time if you talk about it." See? Easy peasy. Instead, they just trust the kids to never talk about ghosts being real and meeting actual ghost hunters.
I briefly wondered if this was some kind of back door pilot for teen hunters, but I haven't heard anything about that. Granted I didn't actually look that hard.
Once back at the bunker, Sam finds the magic pearl but it's kinda... chalky and medicinal looking. It looks like something Goop would sell to stick up your hoohaw.
Tumblr media
Dean decides there's no time to wait because we've already spent too long on teenagers playing hooky. Like, even Sam doesn't really know how to use it. "I guess you just concentrate on what your heart desires," he says, scrunching his face uncertainly. I mean what if this had happened
Tumblr media
The music swells dramatically. The lights flicker off dramatically. A shadowy figure approaches... dramatically. Fisticuffs ensue! It's a nice callback to Dean and Sam fighting in the dark in the pilot episode because ta da! It's actually John Winchester! Which we all knew because this was foretold in promotions.
The lights come up, showing... just a whole lot of things for me to process.
Tumblr media
Now, at first, things don't seem that weird. We've seen people come back from the dead so many times, it's basically as surprising as buying socks at this point. Except! John isn't back from the dead at all! He's traveled through time! He eventually tells us he's from the year TWO THOUSAND AND THREE. TWO ZERO ZERO THREE.
He's both three years younger than the last time the bros saw him AND 13 years older, because for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and all the rest of us mortals, time has marched on. Consequently, John Winchester looks like he got stuck in a wormhole for a good while.
Tumblr media
Now, kudos to John for recognizing his sons, especially Sam, who looked a little something like this the last time they saw each other.
Tumblr media
"Aren't you supposed to be in Palo Alto?" he asks Sam. "And also not a middle-aged man?" he doesn't ask, but I bet he was thinkin' it.
It's just... sigh. I might as well get it all out now. I get what they were going for here. It's the 300th episode and they wanted to have John show up. But because everything is so rushed, they just gloss over anything remotely realistic to the characters. John is all softness and awe the instant the lights go up, instead of bristling and suspicious. Why wouldn't he think it was a djinn or some other creature's doing? "Well we don't have time for him to be as flinty and wary as John would have been in 2003, because we need to get to the part where he spends quality time with his family!" YES EXACTLY. The show is three hundred episodes old now and it deserves more than this speedy treatment put together seemingly for the concomitant promotional opportunity.
Anyway they have a Sit-n-Chat to catch John up on what they've been doing, including the living situation there at the bunker which includes an angel and the son of Lucifer. Goodness only knows what John is picturing.
Tumblr media
Now that I think about it, the brothers should be hella wary too. I mean, what if the pearl is cursed? What if John is actually some shambling interdimensional beast masquerading as John? What if the whole thing is just a hallucination brought on by nefarious moon herbs in Paltrow's pookie pearl? They just uncharacteristically seem to rely on the pawn broker's ledger.
Tumblr media
Fine! Fine! I’ll drop it.
They talk about how they met John's dad via time travel, too, but don't mention that's why John never saw him again after childhood. They talk about the Men of Letters, finally killing old Yellow Eyes, saving the world... Then just when they're about to tell him that Mary's back from the dead, she actually shows up and starts calling to her sons. What a coincidence! John is pained.
Tumblr media
It seems like they didn't tell her, either? Did they just tell her to come over for a surprise or did she just happen to be on her way there anyway? Anyway John and Mary start in on a smoochy reunion so Sam and Dean quietly leave the room.
Sam's like, "How'd this happen?" And Dean's like, "We spent too much time on the teenager subplot instead of looking into this potentially dangerous thing, is how!"
For some reason, John is perusing the library alone instead of... um... making up for lost time with his hot wife. Sam goes to talk to him and finds out Mary's off writing a shopping list for Dean so she can make that emotionally important casserole again. This leads John to admit he fucked up with his kids. Sam is reluctant to blame John because he's had almost 13 years to get over it.
Tumblr media
I hate that everyone's acting their little hearts out and all I can think is how painfully contrived the episode is. Whatever problems I have with the writing and the premise, I don't have a problem with the job the actors are doing. Okay, okay, I'm really letting go of it this time.
John rubs Sam's shoulder and tearfully says, "Son, I am so sorry." The cellos of sadness play sadly. "I'm sorry, too," says Sam. "You did your best, Dad. You fought for us, you loved us... that's enough."
Tumblr media
It's one thing to decide you're going to move past the shitty, shitty things someone did because you're in the midst of the enormity of what's going on RIGHT NOW. But it's another thing for the show to minimize the past. John did NOT do his best. For fuck's sake, he left a little boy in charge of an even littler boy! Dean knew his Dad was possessed because his REAL dad would never be proud of him! When Dean stole food to feed Sam, John abandoned him to face the consequences!
God damn it I guess I'm not going to let it go, after all!
Anyway, Sam and Dean head into town for groceries and time paradoxes. The liquor store owner no longer recognizes Dean, which is the surest sign that something is Very Wrong. Dean is flabbergasted. "It's me! Dean Campbell! I come in here like... always!"
Tumblr media
As Sam heads back to the car, he sees a wanted poster for his bro. It's the old Blue Steel one except I think Sam used to be on it too? He's not anymore. He heads back to the car to tell Dean, but Dean's already been a-googlin' on his phone.
He plays back a video of Sam as a turtleneck-wearing lawyer espousing a raw food diet with plenty of kale. Good lord how much raw food does someone the size of Sam have to eat to fulfill his daily caloric needs?
Tumblr media
They kind of hand-wave how these new versions of themselves exist at the same time as the OG versions. "Our timeline is changing to this new one!" Sam says. He says they need to put things back the way they were or they'll be stuck. It's nice of the timeline to work slowly enough that they can figure this out.
Somewhere nearby, the angel Zachariah appears. Castiel moseys up beside him and he's brought some old friends.
Tumblr media
They decide to head into the nearest pizza place. The teenagers are there because not even a paradox will get rid of this subplot. "Can I help you?" asks the waitress. I think the usual question would be, "Can I get you a table for two?" but whatever. Zachariah asks her who's been messing with time. "We sensed a disturbance in the, well, let's call it the Force," he says. Naturally, she's very confused, and even more confused when he says they're from Heaven.
He says he'll have Castiel murder everyone if they don't tell him what's going on. To emphasize this, Castiel whips out his angel mojo.
Tumblr media
Sam and Dean see the bright light from across the street and come running in. Sam's like, "Zachariah?!" and Dean's like, "Cas?!" and Cas is like, "Is that with one S or two, and also who are you?"
Zachariah exposits that Heaven had big plans for the Winchesters but then their dad suddenly disappeared in 2003. Why wouldn't the angels assume the disappearance and the time event are connected? Why'd they have to just start asking questions in a random pizzeria? Fisticuffs ensue!
Tumblr media
Zachariah force-chokes Sam while asking him for an explanation. Why do villains always try to make people talk while they're choking? Pick one or the other! But this gives Sam a chance to surprise Zachariah with an angel blade in the heart. Oh, Zachariah. Destined to die by Winchester in every version.
Meanwhile, Dean and Castiel are still tussling even though I'm pretty sure Castiel could kill them both pretty quick. Sam joins in for a bit, but gets flung into a table. If there's a table around, someone's getting flung into it. Then he goes back to strangling Dean instead of finishing off Sam, giving Sam a chance to make one of those angel-vanquishing sigils with his own blood.
Tumblr media
They go back home. Dean explains the whole paradox thing to John. If he doesn't return to 2003, Dean will live the same life but alone, Mary will never have come back to life, and Sam will devastate kale crops like a moose-sized locust.
John agrees to go back. "Me versus your mom, that's not even a choice." That's... a weird way to phrase that dilemma. At the same time, Sam is delivering the news to Mary. He says "the lore is pretty clear" that if they destroy the pearl, everything goes back the way it was. What lore? They knew jack squat about it before they used it. Mary has some questions.
Tumblr media
John tells Dean he's proud of him and I slightly expect Dean to whip a gun out on him. "I never meant for this.... I guess I hoped that eventually you get yourself a normal life..a family..."
WHAT.
WHAAAAAT.
Tumblr media
He did nothing to prepare them for a normal life! Leaving your kids in motel rooms, never letting them settle down in one school, issuing ultimatums when Sam wanted to go to college? Man, Dean should've been like, "Nah, that was your other son, Adam, who got to live a normal life... at least until a ghoul ate him and his body was used by an archangel." But Dean is nicer than me, I guess. "I have a family," he says.
They decide to eat dinner even though who knows when the timeline is going to snap into place permanently. Oh my God they even take the time to wash the dishes after. They have a nice chat and again, everyone's acting their little hearts out and I'm trying not to be distracted. Dean tells Sam he doesn't want to change the past. "I'm good with who I am. I'm good with who you are." Please let that stick with no reversions to self-loathing and I'll retroactively like this episode more.
They cut to this shot and for a second I thought it was Sam and Dean holding hands at the sink.
Tumblr media
Of course it's John and Mary. Sad piano plays sadly. John's not going to remember anything, but the rest of them will. Oh man what if John got Mary pregnant during his visit. Sam and Dean were out shopping for a while. I wish I hadn't thought that, but now that I have, you all have to be witness to my horrible brain's meanderings.
John reiterates that he's proud of them. So this time Sam pulls a gun on him! No, he doesn't. They all hug and cry genuine tears before John goes back to holding hands with Mary. Sam reluctantly smashes the pearl to bits. Seems like Dean would have to be the one to smash it since he's the one who made the wish, but it works and John slowly fades out of the present.
Everything goes back to normal, including the teenagers remembering and loudly discussing the existence of monsters in public.
Tumblr media
Castiel returns to the bunker in his newer, homelier coat and less erotically tousled hair. "What happened?" he asks. The response in my brain:
Tumblr media
Back in 2003, John wakes up in the Impala to the sound of his flip phone ringing. Smart phones are great and all but man I miss the battery life of my flip. It's the Dean of the day calling to check on him. John, although he's not supposed to remember anything from the future, seems to have experienced it as some kind of dream. He seems nicer, too. This will probably have no bearing on the timeline, though... right?
Tumblr media
I mean, is that 2019 casserole still in his stomach? Did the wine turn back into grapes? Probably not but these are the kinds of things I think about.
Sigh.
I feel the episode does a disservice to its main characters. I've already ranted more than enough so I'll just pick one example:
If Sam had gone on to live a normal life, he would've become a cold-hearted douchebag who tells people that hobbies and families are a waste of time. Like, ha ha yes it's amusing that Sam is the leaf-munching Steve Jobs of law, but what's the meaning here? Are we saying that wanting to get an education for himself means he's a selfish asshole? Like this is the alternative to the codependent relationship with Dean that formed because of their father? Argh.
The John apologia is just so clunky and unnecessary. John could've said, "I should've done more than teach you to hunt monsters... prepared you for a normal life so you could have a family." Then Dean ccould say, "Being able to kill monsters kept us alive long enough so that we figured out things for ourselves. And we do have a family." Bam! It lets John be rueful without rewriting the past or having Dean swallow all the years of hurt and it even acknowledges that knowing how to hunt isn't a bad thing.
Tumblr media
Thank you for sticking with the recap to the end! I do still intend to recap past episodes but things have been kind of stressful. Just staying afloat has been a chore some days.

Someone I used to know
Tumblr media
Summary: Y/N finally moved on from her broken heart. Will a ghost from her past change that?
Pairing: Brett Talbot x witch!reader; Isaac Lahey x witch!reader
Warnings: indications of smut, cursing, mentions of death and abuse
Word count: ~ 2k
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was awoken abruptly by my alarm clock ringing. I groaned and went to pull the covers over my head when I felt an arm wrap around me. I gasped in surprise and turned to face the human this arm belonged to. To my utmost pleasure it wasn't a human, rather a werewolf. My werewolf.
„Morning Beauty“ he spoke with a lazy smile on his face.
„Morning Beast“ I reply flinching at the raspiness in my voice.
I've been exclusive with Brett for almost 7 months now, although our flirtations began sometime during the dread doctors debacle. It took me a while to let him in as my heart was still broken from my previous “relationship”, but I've never once regretted it.
Brett was like a dash of fresh air. He made me laugh like no other, he understood me, he listened. Every Monday morning he'd show up at my school with a bouquet of sunflowers because he knew how much I love them. Sometimes he'd sneak inside my room during the night and we'd spend the night cuddling. This apparently happened last night as I was in shock to find him in my bed.
„I can't believe I didn't hear you come in last night“ I murmur and lean closer to him.
„You were sleeping like you were dead“ he smirked and leaned in connecting our lips in a long kiss. He placed his hand on my waist and drew me closer deepening the kiss. As we parted I saw his eyes glow a golden yellow and lips curve up into a smile and I couldn't help but smile back. His kisses always made me breathless, and I was always smug about being able to make his true eyes show. I loved his golden hues.
„We'll be late, but we could have some fun“ he says with a flirtatious tone as his face inches closer to my neck. He knows that once he kisses my neck my resistance will crumble. After just a few delicate touches of his warm, gentle lips my hands will start to do his bidding. I felt a hot breath on my neck, then the tender brush of his lips, burning as they make contact with my neck. A hand runs through my hair, as the kisses become harder and more urgent. Another hand slides around my waist, and pulls me close to his pine scented body.
I was pulled out of the trance by my phone ringing.
„Leave it“, he says as he nibbles on my lower lip.
„It could be Scott.“ I state pulling away and he releases a low growl at the loss of contact. Caller ID showed Liam and I showed Brett and got him even more worked up.
„Ignore him“ he tries to convince me, but I just shake my head and answer the call.
„Hey, Liam, what's up?“ I answer casually.
„One: you two are late. Two: Scott told me to tell you to come to practice today, it's urgent.“ Liam starts making me roll my eyes.
„What's so urgent that it can't wait half an hour longer?“ I ask as I send a coy smile in Brett's direction making him groan and bury his face in a pillow.
„Just trust me, okay?“ Liam says with annoyance in his voice and I roll my eyes once more.
„Fine! We'll be there in 10.“ I reply and get up. Throwing my phone into my bag I go to the bathroom to freshen up. Brett walks up behind me and kisses my shoulder lightly and leans his head in the crook of my neck as I brush my teeth.
„We need to get ready“ I mumble leaning into him, feeling his heart beating that always calms me down.
„I know, I just wanna enjoy this moment a little longer.“ He replies in a whisper and leaves a kiss right below my ear making me shiver.
„You're really cheesy sometimes“ I reply and finish up my morning routine. No glamorous make up today, just a touch of my favorite shade of red lipstick.
We arrive to school about five minutes later than usual. Brett goes to the locker-room to get ready as he agreed to help Liam train in order to keep his wolf side in check. Apparently every supernatural creature was slowly losing control over their abilities, but me. I should have mentioned I'm a witch. I'm not quite on the Bonnie Bennet level, but I'm getting stronger.
I walk to the bleachers and find Mason and Liam conversing. Noticing me approaching Liam stops talking and looks at me like a deer caught in headlights.
„Why are you being all suspicious?“ I raise an eyebrow and he turns to Mason and they begin their weird rambling with a sole purpose of lying their asses off, but I wasn't having it.
„One of you answer my question, slowly, coherently.“ I order and they both stiffen and start arguing about who will be the lucky one to piss me off.
Anger started flickering in my eyes as irritation rolled off me in waves and I knew Liam could sense that too. Just as I was about to resort to yelling I felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around me and I instantly relaxed.
„How did you manage to piss of my girl in a matter of five minutes this time DuMbar?“ Brett questions as Liam rolls his eyes.
„Where's Scott? Why am I needed here?“ I add.
„Come with us on the field and you'll see why“, he says making me narrow my eyes in suspicion. What the hell is going on?
I walk slowly to the field with Brett, hand in hand, and just as we enter I look left and see exactly why Scott asked me to come. My heart dropped and my head was spinning. He was here.
„What's with the mood change“, Brett asks, worry laced in his voice.
„That guy right there“ I point to HIM, „He's the one that broke my heart“ I say with a slightly shaky voice and Brett looks up swiftly to see him better.
„So that's Isaac Lahey.“ He states and I nod.
Just as Brett said his name, Isaac turned in our direction and he visibly paled. I guess he didn't know I was coming here either. He turned to Scott and they started whispering vigorously back and forth and I rolled my eyes for the third time this morning and turned to my boyfriend only to see him staring intently at Isaac.
„Hey, you okay?“ I ask him, putting a hand on his cheek.
„He's kinda hot“ he replies making my jaw drop.
„Brett, don't you dare make googly eyes at my ex!“ I exclaim making him laugh lightly.
„Someone jealous?“ He questions with a raised eyebrow and a cocky smile.
„Teeny tiny bit“ I answer honestly and hug him, leaning my head on his chest seeking comfort in the sound of his heartbeat. I'm startled by a low growl rumbling through his chest a few moments later and I look up too see him looking behind me as Isaac was sitting on the bleachers and staring at me.
„Who's jealous now?“ I ask with a smirk and pull him in for a kiss. After that is the heady bliss, feeling his emotions in lips so full of love. There is something unique in all the world about our kiss, and it is that we love one another down to our souls - a sacred bridge between two minds, two souls, two bodies. Brett and I were real, true love kind of real. I was his anchor and he was mine. Nothing was going to change that. Not even Isaac.
As we pull apart he gives me one last peck and a wink before pulling his helmet down and running off to piss off Liam as much as he could. I turn to the man sitting on the bleachers who was now staring at his hands and walk to the other end, refusing to sit next to him.
About five minutes later I felt his presence next to me. I thought he got the message, but apparently I was wrong.
„Hi.“ Isaac says quietly reminding me of the shy boy he used to be when we were growing up.
I look at Brett as he takes his helmet off and gives me a 'is he bothering you' look and I just shake my head.
„Hi.“ I reply calmly and turn to look at him.
Isaac was just as beautiful as I remembered. His dark blonde hair was still perfectly curly making my stomach twist as I remembered how it felt to run my fingers through those soft curls. His large, deep-set blue eyes bore into mine almost as he looked for something he cared for dearly but lost along the way. He wasn't as pale as he used to be...I guess running away from the supernatural drama to France did him good.
„I missed you.“ He states making me scoff.
„Don't even go there.“ I say and look away. I forgot how honest and straightforward he became since the bite. I was used to the shy, timid Isaac. That's mostly how I chose to remember him.
It's a cliche, really. Boy and girl meet, become good friends. Girl falls for the boy and thinks he loves her too, only for him to fall for her friend and run away after her death without a word. I was always there for him, no matter what. Sometimes I was there to let him vent about his dad, sometimes to patch him up after his dad took his frustrations on him, other times to give him a place to stay when things got way out of hand.
I loved him, thinking he was the one, thinking he might love me back, and that's when Derek gave him the bite. He became an arrogant, power-hungry ass that didn't mind hooking up with anything that moved. First, there was Erica, and then there was Allison. Watching them become closer and start falling for each other broke apart pieces of my heart that I thought I'd never get back. Brett pieced me back together and I will always love him for that.
„I'm just saying how I feel.“ Isaac responds.
„So was I. You don't get to disappear for a year and a half without a word and just waltz back here expecting me to wait for you with open arms.“ I remark harshly.
„Oh, I'm so sorry I'm not perfect as you. I was broken and lost and I needed to get away. I needed to do something for myself and I did it. Doesn’t seem like you were lonely without me anyways.“ He replies matching my harsh tone.
„You were broken? Ever though about how I felt? I didn't just lose Allison that night, I lost you too. My best friend, the guy I was madly in love with, I discovered I had supernatural abilities! My life was spiraling and I had no one to talk to as you were the only one I was close enough to talk about all that. You were broken? Well, you broke me too! You can’t blame me for fixing what you broke. Brett made me whole again!“ I shout losing my cool as wind started blowing a bit too fast for a sunny day. My powers were getting out of control.
„You were in love with me?“ He asked stunned by this information.
„I was...not anymore...As far as I'm concerned you're just somebody I used to know.“ I reply and walk towards Brett who was already heading in my direction as he felt the wind pick up.
Brett wraps his arms around me and rubs soothing circles on my back.
„Are you alright, my Beauty?“ He questions lifting my chin up to look into my eyes.
„When you're with me? Always, my Beast.“ I answer honestly as he leans in and gives me a light kiss.
Walking out of the field I notice the net was ripped.
„You did that?“ I ask and he shakes his head.
„Liam. He's losing it.“ He replies and I lean into his side continuing our walk.
Little did I know there was someone else who noticed the ripped net, and that someone did not suspect Liam, rather my boyfriend.

Father
For @that-was-not-supposed-to-happen
Summary: Tommy and Kenny discussed about John and his children. Erika and Mikael refused to let Emi near Arthur if the Shelby patriarch is around. Toshi and Kenny met with Grace in secret about Campbell.
Word: 1567
Warning: minor cursing
Fandom: Peaky Blinders x Fantastic Beasts 
Prompt: Supernatural (Witches)
A/N: I don’t what came to me when I start this series, like I’ve watched Peaky Blinders before Fantastic Beasts and then it kinda hit me because the two are in the same decade, which was the 20s. Anyway, Enjoy. :)
*
Kenny was itching to grab his wand from the inside of his coat and hex Tommy…, for good. “You want to marry your brother to one of the Lees to settle the feuds? Are you fucking insane?!”, Kenny said.
“John needs a wife and the kids need a mother”, said Tommy.
“You do realize he’s engaged to Lizzie?”, asked Kenny. Tommy leaned in his chair and Kenny sighed – as if he doesn’t know Tommy. “You fucking offered her money, didn’t you?”.
“To sleep with him, that I did”, said Tommy.
“And…, she fucking took it”, said Kenny, covering his face with his hands before letting out another long sigh.
“You really think she’s good enough for him?”, said Tommy, lighting up a cigarette.
“Are you doing this because you’re interested in her?”, asked Kenny.
“This has nothing to do with me interested in her”, said Tommy. Yeah right.
“John is not going to take well on this”, said Kenny. Then, Emi entered with Arthur.
“Tommy, Ken”, Emi greeted with her usual sweet smile.
Kenny glared at Tommy. “What? Emi’s prediction is mostly true”, said Tommy.
“I don’t disagree, Thomas, but I wish you don’t often use her to predict the future because one day, it’s going to bite you back”, said Kenny.
“I’ll be fine, Ken”, said Emi.
“I know you would”, said Kenny, “Should I tell John or you want to break it to him?”.
“Don’t you worry about John”, said Tommy.
“Right, I’m going to go now before that old hag blows up the entire station. Take care of my sister”, said Kenny, walking out of Tommy’s office and out of the betting house. Kenny has been updating Tommy about Inspector Campbell and his movement.
Kenny felt guilty about not telling his best friend. There he was, sitting in the living room. John’s kids and his work ran Kenny ragged, not that he was complaining though. When John came home, he found Kenny passed out at the couch, still in his uniform, with his little ones asleep around him. Emi emerged from the kitchen, smiling.
“I’ve made dinner and I cleaned up a bit…, if you don’t mind”, said Emi.
“Nah, I’m more than glad to have you James’ around”, said John.
“Right, I have to go or Arthur is going to get worried”, said Emi.
Kenny didn’t wake up until Katie woke him up because her younger siblings were hungry. “Where’s your dad?”, he asked.
Katie shrugged. “When I woke up, he was about to go out”, she said. Kenny sighed and ushered her and the younger ones to the kitchen to have dinner.
The next day, Arthur phoned Emi to invite her over for lunch. Before she could enter, Mikael opened the door and closed it, blocking Emi’s way by standing in front of the door.
“Sweetheart, you know I have no issue between you and Arthur…, and that I love you”, said Mikael.
“Father, what is it?”, asked Emi, worried all of the sudden.
“I don’t ask much, but for the time being, I would like you to stay away from Arthur”, said Mikael.
“Father, you know how Arthur is after the war. I need to be by his side. Please”, Emi pleaded.
“I know that, but just understand that you can’t see him…, at least until he leaves”, said Mikael.
Before Emi could respond, the door was opened and to Emi’s surprised, it was Arthur Sr. He looked just the same as the time he left his children in Polly’s care.
“Emi!”, he greeted with a smile, “Has my boy made you an honest woman yet?”.
Arthur popped behind his father and smiled at Emi. Mikael grabbed Emi’s hand and walked fast, refusing to let his daughter or any of his children to be anywhere near Arthur Shelby Sr. Emi could hear Arthur calling out to her, but she had to pick up the pace when Mikael picked up his pace.
Emi sat at The Garrison while Mikael talked to Tommy in the private room. Erika heard of Arthur Sr returned.
“What does he want?”, asked Mikael.
“He said he’s a changed man”, said Tommy, taking a gulp of whiskey.
“You believe him?”, asked Mikael again.
Tommy shook his head, looking out the window. “Arthur believes in him”, he said after a moment of silent. Of course he did.
Mikael took a sip from his flask – Fire Whiskey always calm him down. “I’m scared because any moment that man will walk away and your brother will be in pieces again. My daughter is not just to pick him up and put him back on his feet, although I know she would do that without hesitation”, he said.
“For now, the girls are to stay away from my father. If Arthur gets violent, hex him”, said Tommy.
“I’m not worried about that. I’m more worried about Emi sneaking out to see him”, said Mikael.
“I’ll have eyes everywhere for them”, said Tommy.
“Speaking of eyes, where is Ada and Freddie?”, asked Mikael.
“It’s not safe for them. I sent them off”, said Tommy. Mikael nodded and hummed. “Why?”, Tommy asked.
“I saw them…, at the train station this morning”, said Mikael. Tommy sighed and leaned his head back. He cursed himself and Freddie Thorne.
“I’ll deal with him later”, said Tommy.
“After IRA?”, asked Mikael.
“After IRA”, said Tommy.
Erika made a mental note to visit Ada and Freddie some days, but she knew it’s too dangerous. With the police looking for the missing guns and the whole communists’ thing, it wasn’t safe. How she wished to just use her wand to fix everything, but not everything can be fixed with magic, right?
Ada did popped at the James’ house, just as Kenny returned home after babysitting John’s kids. Ada was visibly pregnant, which made Emi very excited. She loved children, especially John’s kids.
“You reckon he can do magic too?”, said Ada, caressing her bump.
“Who knows? I can tell he’ll be a perfect Gryffindor, brave and courageous”, said Toshi.
“Or a cunning Slytherin”, said Erika.
“How are you sure it’s a boy?”, asked Kenny and Emi winked.
“I’ve already got a name for him and Freddie loves it”, said Ada.
Mikael smiled. Of course, Freddie would love it. “Are you eating well? Getting enough rest?”, he asked. His late wife loved the Shelbys and was close to Polly.
“This whole thing with Tommy is stressing Freddie. Money is scarce, the factory is not paying much”, said Ada.
“Nevertheless, you need a lot of rest. You’re carrying a life in you. Let Freddie worry about Tommy. Your duty is to care for your son”, said Emi.
The phone rang and being the closest, Toshi answered it. “James’ residence, Toshi speaking”, he greeted the caller.
“Inspector James, please don’t hang up. It’s Grace. I wish to meet you and your brother. I don’t know which one Tommy listens to, so it’s easier to have you both. Please...”, she pleaded.
Toshi looked to Kenny. They said twins can have a special ability – telepathically joined mind. Kenny nodded and Toshi told Grace to meet at the pier 30 minutes before midnight.
“Who’s that?”, asked Erika.
“An opportunity”, said Kenny, reaching for his grey and blue scarf while Toshi reached for his burgundy and yellow one.
“I wonder what they’re up to”, said Emi.
The boys waited by the pier, watching Curly helping Charlie around. “You boys waiting for someone?”, asked Charlie, who was the father figure to the Shelby siblings, more than Arthur Shelby Sr ever was.
“We’re waiting for a friend”, said Toshi.
“Said something about information that could be useful to us”, said Kenny.
The boys waited until Curly came to them, escorting Grace. The boys thanked Curly after he brought an extra chair for Grace to sit.
“Right...”, said Toshi.
“What can we do for you, Miss Burgess?”, asked Kenny.
“Tommy has appointed me to keep the books for the pub”, said Grace.
“I can see why our sister was moody the whole day”, said Toshi, lighting up a cigarette.
“He asked me to go to Cheltenham with him”, said Grace.
“Do not waste our time, Miss Burgess. What do you really want?”, asked Kenny, obviously annoyed.
“Campbell”, said Grace.
“Let me take a guess. He asked you to be close to Tommy. Are you telling me you’re a spy amongst our rank?”, Kenny made a deduction. Grace nodded. “You love him, don’t you?”, said Kenny. Grace nodded once more. Erika would be heartbroken hearing this.
“Tommy will not be pleased with this treachery”, said Toshi.
“What do you want us to do then?”, asked Kenny.
“I want to come clean to Tommy”, said Grace.
“Be our guest, Miss Burgess”, said Toshi.
“It’s Campbell. He is adamant to arrest Tommy”, said Grace.
Kenny looked at Toshi. Then, the two turned to Grace. “Play your part. All we can advise is that you come clean to Tommy. I’m sure..., he can be reason with”, said Kenny.
“I’m more worried about Polly”, said Toshi.
“Well, that’s another problem”, said Kenny.
“Will you convey to Tommy?”, asked Grace.
“We can try”, said Toshi.
“There are days he just won’t listen, but we will give it a go”, said Kenny. The two insisted to walk her home, stating it’s dangerous at night in Small Heath. Once Grace made it home safely, the boys returned home.

hi friends. it’s been awhile since i’ve roleplayed, and i’m sorta kinda itching to get my feet wet again. come play with me? :33
aiteaiteaite,
boring red tape stuff.
i roleplay third person, past tense, email only. any other medium and i tend to forget to reply or think i’ve replied but haven’t and blah. email just works best. lol.
i play both male and female characters and any kind of pairing, that is mxm, fxf, mxf. if mxf i’d prefer to double, and i’m kinddd of craving some fxf goodness right now. if you can indulge me i’ll love you forever and a day.
i’m well above 18+ and would prefer you to be also, lovelies. i like smut but i also like plot. plot is love.
in terms of smut i have few hard limits other than scat, waterspots, gore/vore. pregnancy/mpreg squicks me out but i’ve roleplayed it before ‘cos it fit with the story. with me almost everything that isn’t a hard limit is negotiable c:
i work full time and rotating hours, plus i’m all the way in little ol’ new zealand so my hours are upside down compared to most people. my reply times do vary an awful lot. i’ll try to get a reply out every other day, although i’m most active on the weekends.
tldr. genres!
i’m definitely more of a fandom girl, and i play both canon and oc.
~ teen wolf. i’ve only seen up to season 3 haha but know most of the storyline for the series. stiles and derek = otp. i’m down for anything including au’s.
~ harry potter/fantastic beasts and where to find them. present and next generation preferred for harry potter.
~ percy jackson/heroes of olympus.
~ disney/disney’s descendents. i have a few children of villian characters i’d loveee to play around with.
~ psych. oml i’m so stoked for the movie you don’t even know eeps.
~ kingsmen.
~ jim henson’s labyrinth.
~ h20 just add water. because mermaids.
~ hansel and gretel: witch hunters.
any crossover of the above could be funtimes too. 'cos i could totally see stiles and scott with their own psychic detective agency and derek being a grumpy detective with the bhpd. or percy and co at hogwarts.
oc goodness.
although fandom’s kind of preferred, i’m always down for anything supernatural and modern.
~ greek mythology. gods and goddesses reincarnated into human form. descendents of the god and goddesses reliving some of their myths in the modern day. etc.
~ supernatural hunting. the grimm/supernatural au no one askedf for aka humans or supernaturals keeping the world at large protected from the all sorts of monsters of the week. and vice versa.
~ modern/twisted fairytales. little red riding hood where little red’s a hunter and a villain. beauty and the beast where the beast is a werewolf. little mermaid with sirens and selkies, maybe.
~ magical circus. a cursed circus travelling from town to town but it’s filled with supernatural creatures and people with real magical ability.
~ vampires, werewolves and mermaids, oh my. literally almost anything to do with supernatural creatures i am so down for.
i have plot prompts or ideas for most of the above, fandom and oc alike. so if anything above piqued your interest throw me a message. i’d love to hear any and all ideas you happened to have, equally, i’d love to come up with some plot ideas together c: 
hope to hear from you, shea xo

Memories in my room. // Stiles Stilinski series
Pairing: Stiles Stilinski x Reader
Warning: kissing, drugs, sex and cursing
Word count: 1,000+
Age: (recommended) 14+
A/N: Long and waited part 5 of my series is here!!! Sorry that you had to wait for weeks to read it, but I hope this will satisfy your needs. In that part Carrie is using drugs so I hope y'all won’t mind. Weed is all natural. If you don’t share the same opinion as me then sorry, but I hope you’ll still like it. Happy reading x
Plot: It’s Carries first day in Beacon Hills High School. Once she meets Stiles and his friends everything changes. Is it a good or a bad thing to hang out with a werewolf pack? Of course it is, what could possibly go wrong!
Previous parts: (Part 1)  (Part 2)  (Part 3) (Part 4)
Listen to me.
I just kept looking at his bare chest. “You like, what you see?” he asked me being a bit shy. I guess he thought I didn’t like, how he liked without his shirt on. “I love it, baby.” I answered to him amd I took of my bra. Now it was his turn to watch, what was now his. He smiled and I knew he is happy. My heart started pounding. My panties soaking wet. I pulled him closer and whispered to his ear. “Maybe my bedroom would be a better place for us to hang out?” and I looked at him. Stiles nodded.
I sat on my bed and bit my lip. He looked at me and said: “You have no idea, how perfect you are. I’m so lucky to have you.” “Stiles, let’s not talk too much crab on my waist and put that body on me.” He rushed over me and layed over me. Stilinski started kissing my neck and I let out a soft moan. He took his manly hand and rubbed my clit sending shivers down my spine. Nothing could be better, but I was wrong.
He kissed down my belly to my inner thights. I had to bite my lip to stop moaning. “Don’t hold it back. I want to hear all of your pretty sounds.” he said and took my panties off.
I must be in heaven. How did I get so lucky to have Stiles Stilinski on me? Yet, I thought about my true bond with Scott McCall. Would he be very mad at me? Why am I thibking about him? I HAVE STILES.
He rubbed down my clit. Not once I felt like I wanted him to stop. It’s the other way around. I wanted him to be a part of my body. “Stiles, please. Now!” I almost screamed at him. He looked over at me laughed and enters his large member into my entrence.
He lets me adjust to his size. “You can move, baby.” I said, he smiled softly and started moving. With his every thrust my body went closer to the edge of pleasure. I took his hand and closed my eyes. Our moans and screams filling my whole house.
He kissed me and that was all I needed at this point. “Stiles..” I said and he knew, what I meant. “Go ahead sweetheart.” he whispered and I fell over the edge. My legs shaking I tilted my head back and screamed out of pleasure. Our bodies so connected that he came right after. The way he moaned my name was unreal. The name Carrie has never been so beautiful. He made it sound like a perfect name.
He fell down right next to me. We both tried to catch our breath. “We didn’t use condoms.” he said after recovering. I laughed at his comment and turned to face him. “I have a werewolf way. Don’t you worry about it, Stilinski.” I responded.
He smiled and kissed me. “I have to go.” he said soon after and I was very suprised. “Why?” I asked him. “Dad and I are going fishing today.” he said and looked very worried. He thought that I’ll be mad at him, but not after that. “You go and have fun.” I said and I really ment it. I placed a kiss on his cheek and took my clothes out of my closet. He smiled, winked and pointed his finger at me, when I put on my red bra.
Tumblr media
“Are you sure? You’re not mad?” he asked me. I laughed and looked at him: “Stiles. It’s all good. I’m not that kind of a girl.” He smiled and looked at me he stood up and hugged me. It was like no other hug I’ve ever shared with a boy.
Yes, the most affective hug was with Scott, because of our bond, but it’s diffrent.
“Bye, baby!” he said. I smiled and waved him: “Have fun, honey!” He loved, when I called him like that and I loved calling him honey.
I took my clothes and put them on my bed and went to my bathroom. After that orgasm I need a shower.
I put my hair up in a bun, took a pair of gary sweats, a XXL sweatshirt and a pair of regular slippers. My outfit of the day was bomb as fuck.
I took my bong and my weed out of my shelf, went to my balcony. I took a hit and held it in my lungs to get a real feeling. Me and my purple world. As a werewolf my body fights drugs and alcohol, but I did it with a dab of mountain ash so we’re all good. I turbed on my blue ight and just sat there.
Tumblr media
I blew smoke out and took my phone. I had a text from Scott.
*I’m bored. Can I come over again if you and Stiles are done? You know haha*
It made me laugh. He was acting so cool about it and I knew it still bothered him. It bothered me as well, but after that I was falling hard for Stiles Stilinski. I texted him back.
*Come, I’m smoking weed rn so want some?*
I took another hit. Weed started slowly playing with my mind. I defined world in a diffrent way. In a relaxed and chill way.
“It’s kinda awkward, but I’m already here.” Scott said closing my balcony door. I started laughing and handed him my bong. He took a hit and smiled at me. “Mountain ash?” he asked and I nodded. He sat down next to me and took a pillow and put it behind his back.
“I know thought about me while being with Stiles.” he said after a long silence. At this point we were both stoned. I took my last hit and responded. “I know you know.”
Scott: You know that that’s not okay?
Me: Of course I know, but I’m falling in love with him.
Scott: Then don’t think about me while being with him!
Me: I can’t!
Scott: Why the fuck not? It’s not that complicated.
Me: I think I already love you.
He looked over at me and he thinked about kissing me, but then turned his head around. “Why worry though? Let’s just see, what happens. Right now, I truly am falling for Stiles and I want to keep it that way.” I said he looked at me and smiled.
Out of nowhere he started laughing and him laughing made me giggle. “What?” I asked him he tried to stop, but he couldn’t. After a long period of time he responed: “Dude I don’t know, I love weed.” and I nodded.
We listened to music, ate and talked about life. It was a perfect afternoon. We hung out for a while and then he had to go. I was all alone again. I didn’t mind at all. It was nice to think about my life and just get some me time.
I connected my phone with my house speakers and just danced my ass off. Then my parents came home. “Carrie, what are you doing?” my dad asked laughing, when he saw me jumping around with an apple in my hand. “Sorry!” I told him and quickly stopped what I was doing. “No, Carrie! Let it play. Family disco night!” my mom told me first I cringed a little at the idea of me, my mom and dad dancing like no one was watching, but I actually liked that idea. I started the musi again and we all started dancing.
It was nice dancing with my parents and truly bonding. We got tired and ordered some pizza. We sat in front of the TV and just talked. “So honey, how’s school?” my mom asked me. “It’s really fun. I really like Beacon Hills.” I said to them. “Any boys?” my mom asked again and I looked over to my dad. I blushed and took a bite of my pizza. “Oh my god! What’s his name?” my mom asked super exicted my the idea of my new boyfriend. “Stiles Stilinski.” I answered her and my dad smiled: “I like him. He came over to my office today and asked a permission to be with you. What a gentlemen, right?” my dad said.
He did what? What about fishing with his dad? I wasn’t mad at all actually. I really liked boys, who are old school romantic. I was also a huge romantic. “Yeah, we’re kinda dating.” I said to them My dad wasn’t mad at all and my mom almost started planning on our weddings. It made my dad and I laugh out loud. “You have new friends too?” dad asked me. I nodded my head: “Yup. Scott, Malia, Kira, Lydia, Stiles of course. You guys know about Derek, well he lives here and he’s my friend obviously. Then Isaac, Allison, Liam and Mason. I have more friends here than I did in New York.” I said to them.
I really did have more friends, we were all soulmates. Supernatural soulmates. Then my dad got serious and looked at my mom. “Do you plan on telling them that you’re a werewolf, an alpha?” my dad asked. I smiled and told them: “Oh they already know. Beacon Hills very supernatural place you see. Lydia is a banshee, Liam, Scott, Isaac and Derek are werewolves, Allison once was a hunter now she’s on our side with her dad then Malia is a werecoyotee, Kira is kitsune and Stiles was posessed by an evil spirit once. Oh and Mason was Tje Beast. Scott’s a true alpha.” I said to them like it was totally normal.
They were still trying to get used to the fact that all farytales were true and supernatural pretty much ruled the world. Then my mom asked: “How could there be two true alphas?” “I don’t know. Kira said that it’s natures way to protect people, when something big is coming. We have a true bond. It basically means that me and Scott have a true love. We feel our sences.”
I was a 100% sure that they didn’t get a thing what I was saying, but they did. “How can you like Stiles then?” dad asked. “I don’t know, dad. I’m falling for him and I just want to keep it that way. We have time.” I said and jawned. “Okay, guys. Bedtime! Good night.” my mom said, stood up and walked ro her room. “I wish you luck, baby. Good nigh. Love you!” dad said standing up. “Love you too. Bye!” I responded.
I walked up to my room and looked at it. Remembering that just a few hours ago I had sex here. I kissed Stiles here. I layed down to my bed and smelled it. I fell asleep.
I woke up to my phone ringing.
“Hey!” Stiles said
“Hey!”
“I wasn’t with my dad today. I was..”
“I know. I think that’s cute that you went to talk to my dad. Really cute.”
“You think?” he asked and I heard a smile in his voice.
“Yes. I wanted to tell you something.”
“Let me first. I wanted to say that. Carrie, you know I want your love. Your love was handmade for somsbody like me and with that I think I love you. Is that crazy?”
I laughed. “Yes, it is. Even crazier is the fact that I think I love you too. I don’t want this to go too fast though.”
“Me too. How you’re doing?”
“I’m laying on my bed. Remember, last nigh you were in my room and now all my bedsheets smell like you.”
He started laughing. I loved his voice, his smile, his laugh, the way he smelled.
“What are you thinking about?” asked me.
“I’m thinking about you.”
He smiled and I’m sure he blushed too.
“Can I come over?” he asked.
“Of course you can, but my parents are home though.”
“I don’t mind them I want to meet parents, who gave life to my beautiful girlfriend. I’ll be there in 10. Love you!”
I smiled and responded: “Love you too!” I went downstairs and my parents were making breakfast. “Stiles is coming over.” I sais and my mom smiled and jumped in the air. “I’ll make pancakes then. I want to meet that young boy, who has my daughters heart.” I smiled and looked over to my dad, he was laughing and winked at me. I made myself a cup of coffe and ther I heard a knock on our door. I opened it and there he stood with !a flower. I smiled: “Stiles, what are you doing?” and invited him in. He hugged me and kissed me on my cheek. “Good morning, sunshine!” he said and handed me a sunflower.
Me dad walked over and hugged Stiles. They seemed like buddys. The my mom came over. “Stiles, my mom Judy. Mom this is Stiles Stilinski.” He smiled: “Hi, ms. Miller! I’m Mieczyslaw Stilinski, but everyone calles me Stiles. It’s less complicated.” he said and laughed. My mom looked over at me: “I get you now.” she said and hugged Stiles. Stiles seemed suprised, but hugged her back. “Come on in! I’m making pancakes.” she said. Stiles looked over at me and smiled automatically. He crabbed my hand we went to my kitchen.
Sunday morning with the one I madly love and the ones I’ll always love.

OKAY JUST TO GIVE ERROL AS AN EXAMPLE
His story just...?? Does not have?? "The call"?? At all??
Ive really tried stretching but just no, sorry.
The plot starts with our duo already off on the quest to climb the mountain, and figuring out why they wanna do it and what happened to them in the past is a gradual mystery that gets unwravelled throughout the story. So if you interpret "the call" as just "the start to the adventure" then already we dont really have that.
Tho again cos of anxiety about being weird i did end up writing a potential more call-ish intro scene but seriously its just like five seconds of "hmm i will try to cilmbe dis mountaine" "BUFF FRIEND WILL HELP U"
Like there was really no damn thing that "forced" either of them to "take up the hero's mantle" and they dont even really do anything "heroic". There's no destiny reason, its just a dude making a kind of dumb decision to risk his life on an adventure to try and settle some personal anxieties he has about something he hates about his personality. And his good friend coming along to protect him, and try and help heal the hurt. Theres really no damn reason why they had to start their adventure on that day as opposed to any other, it was just coincidence that this was the one time in a million that his "god i am filled with self hate and i have this stupid idea that The Magical Local Legend can solve my problems" anxiety attacks actually won out and he decided to really do it.
Also LOL in retrospect he's flipping the cliche even more?? Cos i was just thinking "well i guess the only reason he picked now is because he's had years of practise and planning for this thing." Like seriously he not only isnt "thrust into adventure" but he's already gone through a training montage before it even started!
And like i suppose i GUESS you could say that the stuff that happened to him years ago was an "inciting incident" but it really wasnt a "refusal of the call". It was a tragic backstory event that led to our duo becoming friends and also becoming hella depressed, but it really isnt the reason why they do this adventure. Errol's idea that he was "cursed" on that day and has to do this dangerous quest to "break the curse" is supposed to be a complete misinterpretation due to his trauma. the whole point of this story is that sometimes bad stuff happens to you and its not "for a reason" or "part of god's great plan" or "you can make it go away if you just try hard enough". He doesnt really discover that his destined enemy is at the top of the mountain and they caused everything wrong in his life. He just discovers that the guy who was right next to him wants to help him through these tough times and together they can cope with the darkness, even if there's no easy solution to banish it forever.
So yeah you'd think "sad thing happens in the backstory and then over a decade later he does this thing" would be a "refusal od the call" but really the sad thing was just a sad thing and it was never calling him anywhere. Less "refusal of the call" and more "doing the rational thing and not giving in to paranoia and self doubt", with honestly the start of the story being a BAD THING for him! Like at the start you think that Beau forcing himself into Errol's "quest" is just "lol funny comic relief man" but really its a guy seeing his best friend make a potentially self destructive choice and being REALLY WORRIED so he has to come along. And just putting on this funny comic reliefy persona extra hard because he's trying to keep his buddy's spirits up, while also hiding that he also has his own personal anxieties that are a reason for him to wanna climb the mountain too. I hope i have the writing skill necessary to pull off that foreshadowing, haha...
Oh and also lol there IS technically a real curse just cos i felt like itd be lame to tease people with the idea of the supernatural and have literally none of it. But also its not a "curse" as in how Errol sees it, with a culprit and a journey and a solution.
SO
Going into spoilers a bit when discussing this
Woop woop
Spoilers incoming
Okay...
I haven't exactly decided yet but Errol is either a vampire or a ghost, depending on whichever i can create a cooler design for. He actually didnt survive the accident in his childhood, and this whole time he's been some sort of supernatural creature trying his best to hide the signs he isnt human anymore. He thinks that there must be some sort of greater plot behind all this because he's desperate to find any way he can cure it. But really there isn't a cure, and there wasnt an evil cause for it, it was actually kind of a good stroke of luck that saved his life! So its all kinda more of a metaphor for how its easy to feel "broken" or "not human anymore" when you suffer a great trauma, or become mentally or physically disabled. And how thats not really true, you're still you and its just that society exerts stigma upon people who "can't ever be fixed" into being "normal". The message is kinda gonna be that even if you have something in your life that left its scars on you, even if it'll never go away, it doesnt make you any less of yourself and any less deserving of love. So this would be shown by Errol fearing that he'll become a mindless beast while showing no signs of it being true, getting obssessed with finding this "cure" even when it'll hurt himself in the process, and trying to find some sort of villain or cause or way to personify the illness as separate from himself as something evil. (I.e those "i am autism i will make it impossible to talk to your child, uwu u can defeat me by feeding your child bleach" ableist commercials...) And then in the end his worst fears are realized, there is no magical solution at the top of the mountain and the person he cares about the most has found out about his secret. But really none of his fears came true, because Beau accepts him, confesses his feelings and the two of them start piecing their life back together again and finding new hope for the future. Even if that future still happens to contain things like having secret bat wings!
(Oh and also Beau isnt completely a sattelite character he has his own different traumas and life problems and ways they get brought out into the open and counteracted by the power of love and acceptance. Its just that since errol's side of the thing is slightly supernatural it was easier to talk about in the hero's journey framework)
(Oh and also at some point they adopt a talking crow)

The ghostly maid: Shady secrets
Both boys were relaxing in the pool, with Trevor climbing up the diving board. “Hey Pike, check this out. Imma do a flip.” he said. “Uh, have you ever done a flip before?”. “Oh sure, plenty of times. I’m a real pro. Watch this.”. Trevor took several jumps before he flipped across the pool. However, he misjudged the speed of his flip and land in the pool his back. As soon as he surfaced, Trevor let out a painful scream as he feebly swam to the side. “Ahh! Why does water sting so much!?”. “You gonna be okay?” Pike asked. “Yeah...Yeah, I think I’ll be fine.”. Trevor looked up from the poolside and saw Jeff, who sounded like he was out of breath. “Oh, hey Jeff. We haven’t seen you in a while. What’s up?”. Pike asked as both of them got out in the pool. “I...I got done reading through the journal you lent to me. And I may have discovered something that might truly be shocking.”. “Journal?...Journal...Oh! You mean Rafortion’s dairy. I kinda forgot about that.” Trevor admitted. “Okay, okay. Trevor, you said that Jewely died through some unknown sickness right? Well, I was doing research in try to find out what deadly disease might have done her in.”. “So what did you find?”. “That’s the thing. I couldn’t find any known illness with the symptoms listed in this book. So I ventured out a little bit and found out that they were not from any kind of disease. But instead they showed the symptoms of...of poison. Trevor, I think that Jewely might have been murdered.”. With shock laid across his face, Trevor looked around, got out of the pool, then closely approached Jeff and said quietly: “Jeff, are you absolutely certain about this?”. “...9...90%.”. Trevor thought to himself for a moment before saying: “Come with me.”. He lead both boys to the giant library, where they walked through bookcase after bookcase. “Hey, where are we going?” Pike said. “Somewhere where we may find answers”. All of them kept walking until the found upon a big fancy golden bookcase, swirls traveling down from the top down to the legs. Inside were a bunch of variously colored books, each one a half foot thick. They were arranged like a rainbow, each color mildly different then the one next to it. “Is that a golden bookcase?” Jeff asked. “Guys. What you’re looking at here is the entire Juda family history. First recorded all the way back in the early modern period. Every single Juda is categorized in this bookshelf down to yours truly. If were gonna find out whoever killed Jewely, this would be a good place to start.”. “Well, why not just ask Jewely about-”. “Absolutely not! We don’t have all of our facts straight yet. Coming out with such a big accusation without a suspect or proof would be stupid. Once we have a solid lead, then we can break the news to her.”. Trevor walked in between the boys and said: “I want you two to read up on my family history and figure out who murdered my maid.” then started to walk off. “And where are you going?” Pike asked. “I’m going ask Jewely a couple question.”. “But you said-”. “I know what I said. I’m just going to dance around the situation and try to not clue her in what’s going on.”. The boy then rushed out of the library, leaving the Pike and Jeff alone in front of the large bookcase. “Whelp, let’s just get this started already.” Pike unenthusiastic. Trevor peeked behind a corner to see Jewely cleaning the carpet. He took a big breath and slowly approached. Jewely saw her master behind her and said: “Bonjour, jeune maître. How are you today?”. “I’m fine Jewely...Listen, I was just wondering if I could ask you something. Can you tell me more about Rafortion and back in the day. I want to know more about my family.”. “If you want to find out more about your family, then why not seek the family archive.”. “I want hear it from you. You were alive during that time, right. I feel like I could get more light on it from you rather then some dusty books sitting on a shelf.”. “Très bien. Let’s go somewhere where we can talk.”. Jeff and Pike looked through the stacks of books they got of the shelf, trying to find Rafortion’s entry. “Did you find him yet?” Pike asked. “No. What era did Jewely say he came from again?”. “I don’t know. 18th century?”. “Oh...Then we should probably look further down. These books seem to take place in the 1400’s.”. Pike let out a frustrated sigh as he threw his book on hand aside. As Trevor sat down in a comfy chair in front of a fireplace, Jewely poured him a cup of tea. After which, she floated up in front of him and said: “Now, we’re should I start. I suppose I should begin at where I came from. I was raised on the streets of France. I had lost my family in a house fire at a very young age, leaving me to fend for my self. It wasn’t until I turned 16 that I was approached by your young at the time ancestor, Rafortion Juda while I was trying to find shelter on a stormy night. He took me back to his manor, where he offered me food and shelter from the rain. I asked him why he let me in. He told me: “Because I couldn’t let such a lovely face get swept up in the storm.”. Rafortion told me that he could offer me a home at his luxurious manor. All I would have to do was become one of his maids.”. Jeff trailed his finger across the row of books until he picked a random one off the shelf and opened it up. “1701. He might be in this one.”. “Great. Which page is he on?” Pike asked. “Umm...I don’t know. It doesn’t have a table of contents. Did Jewely ever give a certain date? A year maybe?”. Pike let out a sigh and said “No.”. “I had little to no experience with cleaning at all back when I first started out work as a maid for Rafortion. Luckily the other servants at the manor were able to teach me the ropes of the job. Even teaching me a few tricks that I still use to this day. They we like a second family to me to be honest. Whenever I’d been given a load of work to do, the master would sometimes help me with his own two hands. When I asked him why he lent me his aid, he simply replied: “Because I like spending time with you.”. Both boys kept looking through the book, there eyes growing weary from skimming through page after page. Pike was on the verge of falling asleep, but snapped out of his daze when he hit his head on the table. “I’m gonna...I’m gonna go get myself a drink.” Pike said as he got up. “Wait! Wait. I think I might have found it.”. “Really!?”. “Yeah. Uh...Here it is. Rafortion Parcless Juda. Born in 1728.”. Pike sat next to Jeff as he read aloud. Raised in Europe France, Rafortion’s life was known as quite an unusual person. Unbeknownst to everyone but his closest friends and family, whenever he was not discovering new advances in political studies, Rafortion was partaking in supernatural misadventures.”. “Well, doesn’t that sound familiar.”. “He would often come back from his quests with newly discovered legends that he would be passed along from his work staff, all the way down to the streets of France and beyond. Including when he was lead by a dragon to a mystic cave full of moonlight drip, Driving off a beast with a thousand teeth from a village in the east. And saving a hidden city whose citizens were...were living foul mouthed pastries?” “Wow, Raff sure got around. Does it say anything about his family, any relationships?”. “Hmm...It says that he had an arranged marriage but that’s about it. Maybe if I cross reference the people he worked with.”. “After a couple years at the manor, I manage to find out about Rafortion’s other hobby. Studying and recording legends from around the world. When he learned that I was aware of this, he made me swear to never tell anybody outside the manor. That the people on the outside would react in fear and trail not only him, but his linage as well. After that, he said I could help him on his adventure whenever I wanted. Oh, you should have seen him back in the day. He was always so brave and kind, never to back down from anything. He was the first to jump in a perilous situations and the last to come out. I saw so many wondrous sites while by his side. The edge of China where we went to try and find the feather of a giant silver sea bird. The Egyptian deserts to foil the curse of the an evil sand snake. And to the North Pole to find the mystic snow elves.”. Jewely sighs and says: “That night I spent with him under the rainbow night sky was truly magical.”. “You really liked him a lot, didn’t you?” Trevor asked. “More than anything.”. “Right...So, I know this might be a touchy subject, but...how did you become a ghost?”. “Well. As you know, I was conflicted with a nasty illness that left me in a horrid state. Rafortion didn’t want me to die so young. He took me to a witch called Hazel to see if she could treat my sickness. She said there was no cure for my aliment, but instead she knew of a way I could exist past my death. You’ll never guess how.”. “Uh huh.”. “But, there was a price. I could no longer be with Rafortion again. I declined at first. But my master insisted, saying that it would mean so much if I served his family. He wanted me to see his family flourish all they way to the end. And for that, I took the deal.”. “...Do you ever regret it?”. “No...Because I got to watch his linage grow from Rafortion onward. I have seen the Juda family accomplish many great feats. Some high, others low.”. Each of them a living legacy in their own right, even if some of those legacies remained lost to the rest of the world. I have always been there to see their high points. Your ancestor would be quite proud of what his small family grew into.” Jewely said with a smile. Trevor gave a grin after hearing what Jewely had to say. “Now will that be all?” she asks. “Oh! Uh, yes that’s it. Thank you Jewely” he said as he got up from his seat and started to leave. Vous êtes les bienvenus, maître Trevor.”. Trevor met back with the others and told them what Jewely said to him, while Pike and Jeff told him with they found out. “Huh, maybe it’s likely that Jewely just got poisoned during one of her adventures.” Pike said. “It can’t be that simple. If it were, then why did those dreams that I had lead me to that journal? What else do they say?” Trevor asked. “The journal or the biography?”. “I don’t know. Both?”. “Um...Well, from my analyzes. I think that the most likely suspect would be...Rafortion’s wife.”. “What!? You mean to tell me that my great grandma murdered my maid? How!? Why!?”. “Well a couple of things really. “First is the fact that Jewely hasn’t really expressed any sort of displeasure towards anyone but her. Second, it’s pretty clear that Rafortion and Jewely had something going on between them.” I’m not entirely certain that it was happening before or after the arranged marriage, but considering the situation, the latter is more likely.”. “Ooh, juicy.” Pike asked. “I can’t believe it.”. “Trevor, don’t feel so bad. Affairs like this were rampant around that time. Everybody was having an affair with everybody. It was more common than people dying of smallpox.”. “I just don’t know how were gonna break the news to Jewely.”. Pike looked behind Trevor and said: “Uh, Trevor.”. The boy looked behind him and saw his ghostly maid floating at the end of the hall. “Jewely! Uh...I...”. “I...I don’t really know what to say. I...I need to time to process all of this.”. Jewely flew off out of the library, Trevor sprints after her. “Jewely! Wait!”. When he made it out, he looked around the hallway, but could not find her. “Jewely!” Trevor shouts. His voice echoes throughout the entire manor, but his call reaches deaf ears. Pike and Jeff walked out seconds later to find their friend hanging his head down. As they approach, Trevor says: “I didn’t want her to find out like this. I wanted the news to be easy to take in. Now she’s gone.”. “Cheer up, man. I’m sure that Jewely will be back before you know it.”. A couple days later, Trevor stairs out the window as rain pours down, his phone next to his head as Pikes voice comes out saying: “And how long has she been gone?”. “About three days now. I’m getting kinda worried.”. “Alright, alright alright. Listen, if she hasn’t come back yet. I think that I might know where she is.”. At Tracy’s house, the lanky ghost hunter was in the family car. He stuck his head out the window and said: “Come on, mom. That sale for the prime ecto filter’s is hot right now, and there’s only so much of them. We need to get there now!”. His mother came out the front door, saying: “Alright, honey. I’m coming.”. She got in the car and drove off. Trevor, Pike, and Jeff peeked from around the corner. “Okay, I think he’s gone.”. All three of them snuck into the backyard and found a window leading to the basement. Trevor smashed it open with his foot, glass shards shattering inward. “Guys, aren’t we breaking the law here?” Jeff asked. “Screw that! If he has my maid, then I don’t care what the law says.”. “Beside, the dude’s a prick. Who cares.” Pike said as both he and Trevor climbed down, with Jeff following suit. As Jeff climbed down into the basement, he saw his two friends stare at an underground lab. The glowing beakers filled with green ectoplasm strewed across the metallic table made the dark basement light up. Along side those were several pieces of metal with nuts and bolts. All of them looked around the room, going through piles of ghost hunting equipment laid across the floor. As they dig through the piles, Jeff asks: “Uh, what are we supposed to be looking for?”. “Something that can be used to trap a ghost, like...” Trevor says as he’s digging. He pulls out a metal cylinder and says: “Like this. This cylinder...thing must be what that scumbag uses to hold his ghostly prisoners.”. “More like his soup. Trevor, that’s a thermos.” Pike points out. “...What?” the boy says as he stops looking down the can. “I use one whenever my family goes on holiday to the Canadian rockies. Chicken doodle soup does wonders to combat frostbite.” Jeff mentions. After looking back down in the can and back to his friends, Trevor throws the thermos to the side. Pike reaches down under the bed and feels something slimy underneath. He pulls his hand out and finds green ectoplasm all over his palm. “Ew.” he says as he shakes of the green slime. Jeff pulls out a PDA from the junk pile and says: “Hey guys. I think that I might have found something that can help.”. Both Trevor and Pike look over, with Trevor saying: “What ya find.”. “This thing says it’s a ghost tracking device. Maybe we could use this to find Jewely.”. “Does it even work?” Pike asks. Jeff flips the switch on the side and a radar comes up on screen. From there, the radar shows several signs detecting ghostly energy. The radar pointed to the beakers on the table. As Pike inspects the beaker, he says: “Aren’t ghosts made from this kind of stuff?”. “Then the answer is yes. Does that thing say Jewely is in here?”. “I don’t think so. Maybe we should try looking somewhere. You know, before we get busted.”. The trio moved over to the city. As they walked through the streets, Pike says: “Find anything yet, Jeff?”. “Nothing yet. Maybe there’s a way to adjust the range on this thing.”. Trevor looks up and sees that the rains starts coming down harder then before. “Oh man. We better find her soon. The rain is really starting to come down.”. After fiddling with the radars controls, Jeff said: “Oh, that’s how you adjust the range.”. Tuning the radar to the farthest frequency, Jeff saw a small blip out on the far left. “Hey I found something.”. Both Trevor and Pike looked at the radar, Pike commenting: “Isn’t that where the slums are at?”. “Slums?” Trevor questioned. They walked into the a neighborhood that looked like it was on the verge of collapsing. Cracks could be seen on the sides of the stone buildings trailing down to the roads below. The smaller buildings were clustered together, almost looking like they were stuck to each other. Rotting fauna covered some of the buildings and streets, not a single hint of green among them. “My god! This place is a hole. People actually live like this?”. “Yep. Not the most homey place, but ya gotta work with what you have.” Pike added. “Geez. This looks like a place where hopes and dreams go to die.”. “You know Trevor, maybe you can donate some of your money to help out.” Jeff said. “Well, I would. But I don’t actually own any money. My company does.”. “What? Isn’t the company in your name?”. “Technically, half of it. Nearly all of my families money is used in shares they use. I don’t own a cent.”. “Uh...Anyway, the radar says that Jewely is just at the end of this block.”. The three found themselves in front of a giant, broken down house that looked like it could collapse any moment. “Are you sure she’s in there?” Pike asks. “That’s what the radar says.”. Trevor took a deep breath, then said: “Whelp, let’s go.”. They walked through the broken doorway, seeing moldy furniture on a cracked wooden floor. All off them looked around the house, but couldn’t find any sign of the ghostly maid. “Jeff, I thought you said she was here.” Trevor said. “I…I don’t know. The radar say that theres a huge spike of ghostly energy here.”. “Well, clearly she isn’t. Ga, I knew I should have just kept that journal for myself. it’s been nothing but trouble.”. “Why are you yelling at me for? You’re the one who wanted me to study it.”. “Guys. I found something.” Pike shouted in the distance. Both of them walked over and saw that Pike had found a trap door, leading to the basement. Going down, the first thing they saw were prison cells. Wasn’t this place a manor at one point? Why does it have a dungeon?” Jeff questioned. “Come on, let’s go.”. All of them headed down into the dark depths. They traveled down the brickwork tunnel, passing down several empty cells on the way. Pike saw something in one of them. The darkness made it hard to see what it was. It looked like someone in chains. He pulled out his phone and lit up the cell to find a body with long hair staring down on the floor, which was mostly decomposed. The head then fell off and rolled its way up to the front of the bars, revealing its hollowed face. Pike backed up after seeing this and jumped up when Trevor said: “Hey Pike, check this out.”. The boy quickly ran back to his friends. Catching up to his friends, he found a red pentagram painted on the floor surrounded by fancy metal torch stands. “Wow, this went from a 1 to a 10 real quick.” Trevor said. “Um...Maybe we should be getting out of here...Like right now!” Jeff says. “No way. Not until we find Jewely. What’s the radar say?”. Jeff looked at the device and said: “She’s close. Very close.”. Pike grabbed one of the torch stands and said: “I’m bringing this home. It’ll look great in the living room.”. Trevor looked around the chamber until he came across a chained up door. The boy tugged on the chains and felt that they were on the door tightly. He looked at the chains and locks decorating the door and saw that they were covered in rust. “Hey Pike, hand me one of those stands. Pike handed over his stand so that Trevor could put it in between the chains and the door. He started pulling as hard as he can. “Guys, help me out with this.” Trevor said as he pulled. Pike and Jeff grabbed parts of the stand and started pulling. All three of them fell down as they broke the rusty locks of the walls. With nothing holding them, the chains fell straight to the ground. Trevor quickly got up and opened the door. On the other side, he saw absolutely nothing. It was nothing but an empty room. “Wha...what the...Jeff I thought you said she was in here.”. “It did. I don’t get it. The radar said that something was on the other side of that door.”. After climbing back up to the abandoned manor, Trevor tried to open the front door, but it was stuck. No matter how hard he pulled, the boy couldn’t get it opened. “Wasn’t this door unlocked when we came in.” he said. Jeff heard the radar acting up and was shocked at what he saw. “Guys, look at this.”. Both of them looked at the radar and saw a bunch of reading surrounding them. Suddenly, loud growling could be heard through the home. “Okay, I think it’s time for us to leave!” Jeff said. “Stand back, I’ll break one of the windows down.” Pike said as he picked up a nearby chair. Trevor looked up at the chair and said: “Uh, Pike...”. “What?”. Pike looked at the chair he was holding and saw that it had a fleshy mouth with sharp teeth. Pike threw the chair aside before it could bit him. “Just tackle through the window!” Jeff shouted. Trevor backed up and dashed at the window, but it was as solid as a brick wall. “I cant break it!”. They looked around and saw that the other furniture were soon coming to life, slurping as saliva dripped from their gaping maws. “Run!”. All of them scurried away before any of the furniture could take a bite of them. As they ran through the manor, they tried to dodge living furniture bent on chewing them to pieces. “Where are we even supposed to go? We have no way out.” Trevor said. A couch lunged straight at them, missing and instead ramming into a support beam. “The attic! I saw a broken window in the attic! We can get out from there!” Pike said. All of them booked it while a herd of living furniture rushed behind them. They made to a lone room and locked the door behind them. After catching their breath, Pike said: “Shh...Do you hear that?”. All of them listened in, but heard nothing. “Hear what?” Trevor asked. “Exactly. Did the furniture stop chasing us.”. Pike looked under the door, but couldn’t see any sign of the chairs and tables. “Uh, Guys.” Jeff said as he look behind him. Trevor and Pike looked in the room they were in and saw in the dark room a giant black piano with a single light above it, shining on the onyx finish like a spotlight. With the exception of a door on the right, nothing else seemed to be in the room. There wasn’t even anything decorating the walls. No pictures, ornaments, nothing. “I don’t like this.” Trevor said. “Let’s just get to the other side.” Pike said. All three of them walked over to the door, being very careful not to wake the piano. When they reached the door, they tried to open it only to find it locked. “Locked.” Pike whispered. Jeff looked over and said: “Um, I think I might have found the key.”. “Really? Where?” Trevor said. He pointed to a rusty key, which was under the slumbering piano. “Oh...”. Trevor took a deep breath and slowly approached. He ducked down and crawled under, being careful not to hit the under belly. When he grabbed the key, the entire house started to shift, making loud squeaking noises. The piano started to move. Trevor rushed out of the underside and ran back to his friends. He quickly put the key in the hole and tired turning the lock. The piano started waking up, opening it’s case to reveal a gaping maw with jagged teeth. “Come on, Hurry!” Jeff shouted. The piano lunged at them. Trevor managed to get the door open. All three of them rushed out of the room right as the piano was on top of them. They slam the door shut, hearing banging and scratching on the other side. “I think I might need therapy after this.” Jeff mentions. In his fatigue, Pike looked to his right and saw a set of stairs leading to the next floor. “Ha ha! Finally, the stairs! We just gotta get through the second floor and were home free.”. After catching their breath, they climbed up the staircase to see a dusty old attic. The room lined up with boxes upon boxes stacked against the wall. As they walked through, Trevor asked: “Where this broken window you said was here.”. He then looked down to see that he kicked something over to a light shining on the floor. Picking it up, he saw that it was a wooden doll with an open mouth. He then looked up and found a broken window on the ceiling. “There it is.” Pike said. “Of course it is.”. Trevor then felt a sharp pain on his finger. Looking at his hand, he saw that the doll head was biting his pinkie. The boy pried the head off and threw it to the other side of the room. It landed behind a pile of boxes. The head then looked from behind the boxes, all three boys looking above the window with their backs turned. “So how are we gonna get up here?” Jeff asked. “Easy. We build a tower.” Pike answered. “I don’t think all three of us could reach.” Trevor retorted. “Not of us.”. Pike walked over to a pile of boxes and pushed them under the window. Oh, right.”. All of them started to stack the boxes atop one another. As Trevor was moving one of the boxes, he saw a lone doll arm crawling along the floor. He flicked it out of his site, continuing to move the box. After a minute, the stack of boxes looked like it could almost reach the window. “Almost there. Looks like one more box should do it.”. Jeff was about to pick up a box from a different pile, when he saw a doll leg squirming on the side. He saw that the leg extended past the pile, following it to a giant ligning cluster of doll parts. The doll head that Trevor threw on top, staring at Jeff with its red glowing eyes. Jeff let out a scream, which drew the others attention. “Jeff, what are you- Whoa!” Pike shouted. Before their eyes, the boys saw the giant cluster slither towards them, knocking over whatever was in it’s way. All of them ran to the other side of the attic. The cluster knocked over their stack of boxes as it pursued. “Come on! I just finished stacking those!” Trevor said. As the cluster of plastic moved in closer, backing each of them against the wall. The boys split up, Jeff and Trevor going left, while Pike went right. “What are we gonna do!? What are we gonna do!? What are we gonna do!?” Trevor panicked. Jeff looked over to the ceiling, then to the cluster of dolls. “We need to distract that monster so we can climb it.”. “What!? Are you nuts!?” Trevor said. “That thing is just tall enough to reach the window. If we climb up it, we can get out of here in no time.”. Trevor thought for a moment before saying: “Give me a second.”. He then dashed over to Pike and says to him: “Hey, Jeff’s got a plan.”. “Really, what is it?”. Trevor and Pike lead the plastic beast to the window. Jeff started climbing up the beasts back. As he started to reach the window, the doll head turns its head and stares at him. Some of the plastic doll parts on it start pulling the boy in. “Ahh! Ahh! Help!” he scream. Pike runs to a nearby box and throws it at the monsters head. The head turns back and lets out a demonic scream. The doll parts loose their grip on Jeff, the boy hurries up the back and jumps to the window. After taking a quick breath, he reaches down to his friends and shout: “Come on! Hurry!”. Trevor and Pike split off again in hopes of drawing the monsters attention. It turns it’s gaze to Pike, who leads it down the attic. Trevor leaps on his back and starts climbing upward. Halfway to the top, he stops climbing and reaches out his hand to Pike. Pike looks around and sees a stack of nearby boxes. He dashes to the stack and jumps off, leaping towards his friend. Trevor manages to grab onto Pike, and they start climbing up. The plastic beast starts thrashing all about the room, trying to shake the boys off its back. Trevor lost his grip and nearly fell off, but Pike grabbed onto his hand. The monster was swinging itself all around, Pike was about to loose his grip. He thought fast and with the added force of the beasts thrashing, threw Trevor near the window. Jeff caught his friend by the leg and starts to pull him up. “Pike.” Trevor shouts as he watched the monster throw the boy across the room. The beast starts backing the boy against the wall, his eyes start shrinking as looks at the beasts. In the corner, he sees some loose wires leading up to the window. He makes a break for it, dashing into the corner, nearly avoiding the clusters grasp. Pike grabs onto the wires and starts climbing up. The support of the house starts to give, shaking the wires loose. The wires loosened up to the window, Pike started climbing for his life. He manage to reach the top and grabbed both of his friends hands. The beast takes grip on the boys, starting to consume his legs. Both Trevor and Jeff pull with all their strength. They manage to jerk Pike out of the monsters pull and reach the roof. After recovering, Pike said: “The house is about to fall! We need to jump, now!”. All of them run to the edge and jump off the 2 story house just as it was collapsing. They managed to land in the mud as the house behind them collapsed. All of them look back to the rubble, with Trevor commenting: “I don’t think Jewely was in there.”. As they get up, Jeff says: “Ok-okay. I’m...I’m gonna go home and go to bed...forever.”. Trevor was on his balcony back at his mansion, on the phone with Pike. “So, you think there’s anywhere else Jewely might have gone to?” Trevor asks. “Don’t know. We’ve looked everywhere in the city and haven’t found another sign of her.”. “...What about Jeff? How’s he doing? I haven’t heard about him since we escaped that broken down manor.”. “He’s fine. But I think it might be awhile before he tags along with us again.”. “Okay, tell me if you find anything.”. Trevor hangs up and looks off into the distance. “Where are you Jewely?”.
