"That’s—- god, no. No, Aliyah, that’s not what i mean at all. I still want you, i do, more than you’ll know…. Look, I know this is fucked up, and you know how crap i am at explaining things. But i need both of you. It’s selfish, and i’m pretty sure i’m seriously tapped to even be thinking like this it’s just—- I don’t know. It’s screwed up, but I can’t lose you over this, Liyah. You hear me?”

[aliyah-black]

Aliyah frowned slightly, more in confusion than anger or anything else. How was it even possible to love two people at once in this sort of way? Surely that couldn’t be a thing. “I always knew you we’re tapped, Caleb.” She whispered gently with a soft smile. Sharing him would be strange to say the least, but she didn’t feel angry at him either. Maybe it would have been different had they been in a proper relationship, because they weren’t, not really. He was first and foremost her best friend before anything else, even if he did drive her mad. “Well you’re never gonna lose me, so you get that idea out of your thick head right now, got it?”    

[georgiasnothere]

"Of course." She sighed and lit a cigarette after a while, needing more to do with her hands and noting that she hadn’t actually seen or heard from the man in quite some time, which was nice. "Totally wild guess, you know." Again, she hadn’t had to deal with any of them in a while, but her opinions hadn’t changed, and according to Aliyah, neither had they. "And they all just gravitate to you? —Oh, but shit, I actually met a dick of a wolf for once, too."

[aliyah-black]

"Yeah, i figured it must have been. It's not the stereotype at all." She played along with a faint smile, not forgetting how Quentin had treated Georgia all those months ago and knowing she probably felt exactly the same about the species in general. "Clearly. I must be like a dog whistle for witches on a power trip or something..." She trailed off, before looking at the brunette. Well that was a first. "Seriously? Who?" 

[charlieyourslave-deactivated201]

"Oh well that’s true." Charlie mumbled softly blushing a little. "Sometimes it’s hard to tell you know with all the people coming and going." she explained. "I’ve been here a few weeks I recon but a year…have you enjoyed your time here?" she asked.

[aliyah-black]

"Yeah, i know. Don't worry." She replied with a smile, at least this girl wasn't freaking out and calling her psychotic when she mentioned supernaturals; it was a nice change. Raising a brow at her next comment, she scoffed. "Oh yeah, i'm loving life. Always wanted to be a slave... What about you? How are you finding it?" 

[emmaxfaulkner-deactivated201708]

'I guess that's true. It's amazing what a person can get used to,' she hadn’t much thought about it, but she’d gotten used to being a pet, to sleeping in a cage… to not really sleeping much. Returning her focus to Aliyah, she wondered how long she’d been there, if she’d gotten used to all of this. She knew some had been here awhile, and still didn’t accept it all. Once they started to talk about Caleb, though, she forgot about the other thoughts. Furrowing her brow a bit, she wondered why he didn’t mention any of it to her - not that she thought she had any right to know, but he seemed like someone who’d tell her things like this. 'I don't… don't know what to say. I had no idea. Are you sure he wants to claim me?’ It was surprising to her, thinking she’d lost the chance to be claimed after losing the ones interesting in her. 'I… he didn't say anything. I mean, not that he has to tell me anything. Would you be ok with that? Me - me being there, too?' She wanted to believe the girl, but she was having a hard time with it, not expecting that he wanted her, though all she wanted was to stay with him.

[aliyah-black]

Aliyah nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but scary too..." She knew Emma probably wouldn't believe her about all of this, after all if it was the other way around she knew she wouldn't either. However now they had got onto the topic, she might as well tell her. "I know it has to come from him, but yeah, i'm sure." Smiling faintly, she shrugged at her next comment. It was something she had no clue how to deal with, or how to feel about. Yet the slightly older brunette was nice enough, he could have done a lot worse. "I don't know." She answered honestly. "I guess... I'll have to be, won't i? Besides, you're not so bad." Aliyah smirked at the girl next to her, before the same thought crossed her mind. "Would you be okay with it? I mean, it does put you in the exact same position."

"So, you have like, a choice…?" Lucy asked hopefully, not expecting as great of an answer as she might’ve seemed to. "Yeah, seem to think they’re some kind of royalty, some of them." Lucy didn’t understand why they acted like that, not putting it together yet that any of them actually did have any kind of powers. "No, fuck that," she sighed. Everyone she talked to was so resigned to this. "There’s no after a while.” Her words were becoming less and less believable to herself, but she wouldn’t let go of them yet. “Could say that, but here it’s on a whole new level. What the are they on that’s got them so fucked?”

[aliyah-black]

"God no. I wish… If they want you then you’re screwed anyway, i just meant not actually asking them to get you out of here.” She explained, wishing it wasn’t like that but thinking it was probably best not to sugar coat anything either. “They really do.” Aliyah definitely couldn’t disagree with that. Even though no doubt a few of them had been royalty at some point, most were still incredibly stuck up. “Give it a year, then tell me that again. You’ll see.” It was still difficult to wrap her head around how long she had been here, expecting to have found a way out long before now. “Fucked in what way?”

[georgiasnothere]

"Some things are better left to the imagination and all that." That, and if there was any way she could avoid running into him again, especially in that room, she’d take it. Georgia thought on the witch and shook her head, "Not that I know of. Is she another of the ones that sets that great stereotype for them or…?" Unfortunately she couldn’t actually think of any wizards or witches that seemed harmless to her, which proved her point well enough.

[aliyah-black]

"Definitely. Especially when he’s involved." She agreed with a nod, definitely preferring things now the overseer had taken a back seat again. Aliyah laughed faintly at her next comment, shaking her head. "How did you guess?" It seemed to be practically common knowledge now that most of them were sadistic in some respect, she couldn’t even recall ever coming across a witch or wizard who wasn’t. "I can’t say I’ve met any that aren’t like that."

[charlieyourslave-deactivated201]

Charlie frowned in confusion. “Supers come down here, i’ve seen them. They come here and rent people or just go into their cells.” she explained taking a step back from the door and rubbed her arm. “My names Charlie, what’s yours? Have you been here long?” She asked softly.

[aliyah-black]

"Oh, yeah. I just meant i wouldn’t be locked in another cell if i wasn’t human." She clarified, smiling faintly at the blonde. "It’s nice to meet you, Charlie, I’m Aliyah. And about a year now, maybe more… Are you new?"

"Again, my suite." Was the last words his said with a hint of playfulness to them, rubbing the back of his neck as he tried to work out how to even start. "Alright, well… Look, you know how much you mean to me and everything. Hell, this is the weirdest relationship i’ve ever fucking been in and it’s been like what… eight months now..? Liyah i swear this doesn’t make me love you any less, but… but i think i might also love someone else…”   

[aliyah-black]

"Caleb…" She trailed off, licking her lips as she tried to think of what to say. "It’s okay, really—- I mean, we just started this whole thing as friends anyway, didn’t we? That was the whole point. No strings attached. If… if you’ve found someone you actually want to be with, that’s fine… i don’t mind. In fact i get it." 

[emmaxfaulkner-deactivated201708]

Smiling softly at her, Emma shrugged a bit, 'I don't mind it. You get used to it. I've been hard of hearing for 9 or 10 years, I think. In the beginning, I wrote all the time, but then mostly signing.' It was habit to watch her lips, one that Emma found hard to break as she kept her gaze there. Nodding, 'Mostly, yeah. Some get annoyed, but it's not too often.' She figured part of it might be that she behaved, did anything they asked. The girl’s expression seemed to shift, and Emma furrowed her brow slightly. How did she know? 'Other? I… I don't understand. I've been rented by Caleb,' she has to bite back the smile, though she missed him, ‘…but claim… I - he hasn’t… no, I doubt he wants to claim me. Why?’ She didn’t want to get her hopes up to that idea, trying not to let it sink into her mind. Unless it came from him, she couldn’t let herself believe it.

[aliyah-black]

Aliyah nodded in response. “I guess it’s like anything… It becomes normal after a while.” That thought almost scared her a bit. A little over a year ago she despised the terms like rental and claim, was trying to figure out how to escape, and didn’t even believe in supernaturals. Now, everything was different and she really wished it wasn’t. Realising Emma didn’t even know about any of this yet, she mentally kicked herself. Why did she have to try and explain what was going on when she didn’t know herself? “Yeah he… said he was going to—- Both of us it’s, um, god i don’t even know how to explain it…” She smiled almost apologetically, Aliyah was probably as bad as him when it came to explaining things. “Apparently he wants us both or something… I don’t know.”

[queensilverton-blog]

"What, out of this cell?" That didn’t sound so bad… And she said people, not vampires or fairies or whatever it was around here. But still, why should she need to be taken out? She should’ve had every right to walk right out of there on her own. "Fuck—" The way this girl put it, it sounded like some kind of orphanage for insane… adults. So like a mental hospital, like she’d thought before, but where people were looking to keep them. That didn’t make sense. "Clearly. Have you seen the rest of these idiots around here?"

[aliyah-black]

"Yeah. But more often than not it's really not worth it unless you know the person is alright. Most are on complete power trips." Aliyah wasn't really sure how much the blonde already knew or whether she had seen any supernaturals yet, so she just thought she'd let her know what most could be like at least. "I know, it's all kinds of messed up. But as fucked up as it is after a while it almost becomes like normal terms." She shrugged lightly at her next words, not sure whether she meant humans or supernaturals. "Everyone's screwed up in their own way." 

[georgiasnothere]

"Or the type to take them off to his suite, do some fucked up shit, and then skin them to hang on his walls. Anything goes with him." She’d been to the woods enough times without seeing anyone and anything at all to doubt they were there. "Yeah. Oh. Who has you now, then?"

[aliyah-black]

"Well yeah, that works too. I would say we should go and check but honestly i'd rather not." The thought of purposefully going to the overseer was one she planned on avoiding at all costs. "Do you know someone called Theodora? She's the head witch."

[emmaxfaulkner-deactivated201708]

Emma’s fingers brush against the collar before she signed back to explain, 'Oh! I have a device that I type into and it speaks aloud for me. Miss Kaya got it since I work for her cause she didn't want me writing all the time. She said it was inconvenient or something. Briac turned it into this collar making it translate.' It was nice getting to talk to someone. Emma hadn’t really had many people to talk to lately. Things were kind of quiet in the cells - at least, she thought so. Plus she was glad for some time outside, too. 'It doesn't bother me. I guess you get used to it. Plus everyone, mostly, has been nice about it.' She smiled softly before crinkling her nose, 'Sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. Aliyah's a pretty name! I'm Emma.'

[aliyah-black]

"Oh." Aliyah had to laugh at that. "Well i'm sure it must make things a lot easier then. But even typing things out all the time must get annoying." It would annoy her at least, but then again she was used to talking so maybe things were different. "They've been nice about it? Really?" That surprised her more than anything else, not expecting the supers to care much about things like that. Smiling back, she nodded. "Hey i didn't either, thank you Emma's a..." The brunette trailed off slightly as it caught up with her and she turned to look at the other human. Emma. That was the one Caleb had told her about. "Emma as in, Emma Faulkner? Caleb's other..." She paused, trying to think of the right word and coming up short. "The one Caleb's going to try and claim too?" 

[charlieyourslave-deactivated201]

Charlie sighed as she heard someone else talk and she looked out through the cell door. “Hello…” she said softly and frowned a little. “Are you…human or a…” she trailed off swallowing thickly not knowing what else to stay. It was hard being in the cells alone with no one to talk to. Not even a super had rented her and though everyone said that they had been treated badly, it was all she knew and it was all she was ever going to know. 

[aliyah-black]

Aliyah nodded. "Yeah, human. I wouldn't be down here otherwise." She wasn't sure whether or not the blonde was new and still trying to figure things out, so she though knowing that only humans were put in cells for the most part might help. "What's your name?"

"You’re wearing my top, so i can’t exactly put it on now can i?" He pointed out with a smirk, opening the fridge and getting two beers out. "There’s some stronger stuff over there if you’d rather have that." He tilted his head in the direction of the cupboard, but opened both just in case and handed one to her. "It’s really not that simple, Liyah…"

[aliyah-black]

"Right. Because you obviously only have one top to your name, Caleb." She countered with a smirk of her own, before turning more serious. "No, beer’s fine for now, thanks." Smiling, she took the bottle from his hand. "Well simple or not, it’s obviously plaguing you, so out with it." 

[charlieyourslave-deactivated201]

Charlie was bored out of her mind. She had counted every bar of her cell and every brick in the wall, she had counted everything she could in the tiny cell where she had been living for the past few weeks. She slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes then stood up and stretched sighing slightly. Charlie walked over to the front of her cadge and took a deep breath. “Hello?…is anyone else still in here?” She called knowing Supers took people out to be rented everyday and couldn’t keep track of who was coming and who was going. “Anyone?” She called a little quieter.

[aliyah-black]

 Aliyah was back in the cells again for a few days now her rental with Theodora had finished, and was honestly glad for it as crazy as she felt for thinking that way. Anything was better than spending time with that witch but there was also so much to try and make sense of when it came to pretty much everything in her life right now. She had only just found out she had been her over a year, the one person she loved in this place had told her he was also in love with someone else, and the one person she completely hated was threatening to claim her. All in all she had no clue what to think. Hearing someone else talking, she turned to look at them. "Yeah... Hi."

[emmaxfaulkner-deactivated201708]

Emma tilted her head a little. She knew sometimes people felt bad for her, but it really was just normal to her. She couldn’t remember anything different. The only reason she knew what anything sounded like was because Briac forced her to hear in the cells once before which she hated. 'It can be sometimes - like if someone talks and doesn't look at me or they mumble. Lip reading isn't exact either so some odd names or similar words are hard to catch, but yeah, not many know sign language. I miss that - being able to sign with someone back and forth. But I've been like this for a long time so I really don't know any different.' Curling her legs under her, she smiled a bit, 'Yeah, I rather this than having to write. That gets tiring!' she let out a soft, little laugh.

[aliyah-black]

Aliyah nodded in response as the other girl went on, not really sure what to make of it all. "Yeah, i bet... But the guards don't listen to us at the best of times, how d'you get them to hear you if you need something without that thing?" Gesturing to the collar around her neck, she crossed one leg under the back of he knee. The brunette laughed softly, having to agree with her competently on that one. It wasn't like she knew from experience but she could imagine how annoying it would get having to write everything out. "I'm sure it would. Hell, i don't even know how you would manage to keep your cool with everyone on a daily basis if you have to do that." Pausing for a moment, she realised she didn't even know the girl's name. "I'm Aliyah by the way. What do i call you?"

"My suite, my rules. Isn’t that the saying?" He smirked with a shrug, unable to help from watching her even if she was putting her clothes back on. “The pup card, again? Really, pet?” The wolf was half tempted leave things how they were, but knew in the long run both her and Emma needed to hear this from him as he started walking towards the kitchen. “But yeah, i know… It’s just something i’m not exactly sure how to word right.” 

[aliyah-black]

"So you’re allowed complete concentration now and i’m not? Well that’s not fair." Buttoning up the jeans with a small smile, she couldn’t help rolling her eyes at him slightly. Yet she knew she had brought that one on herself, so she couldn’t really say anything either as she followed him into the kitchen area. "Then just say it like you’re thinking out loud?" She suggested, hopping up to sit on the counter top.
