I took a little journey to the unknown And I come back changed, I can feel it in my bones I fucked with the forces that our eyes can't see Now the darkness got a hold on me Holy darkness got a hold on me

allison blinked once, managing to stop herself from doing it again. she glanced down at her drink, a wrinkle forming before her brows, before looking back up at the other. her shoulders rose in a half-hearted shrug. “it tasted real to me,” she said, “but i’m not some sort of coffee expert or snob.” she’d honestly debated getting a cup of hot cocoa instead but opted for a mocha as a caffeinated middle ground. “maybe they messed up your order?” she offered, feeling a little strange about the turn of this conversation. she supposed she should be grateful. the other didn’t recognize her. this was just a normal chat about coffee. right? maybe the other was socially anxious and trying to get better by forcing herself into conversation. maybe she was just that friendly. some people were. she’d experienced it when she first moved to beacon hills, though high school was a little different. there was always the possibility the other did recognize her and was trying to make sure but for her own sake, allison was pretending that couldn’t be the case.

mia was getting the sense that this girl had no idea what she was talking about, and she realized now that she was actually saying that stuff out loud as her eyes widened and she continued to stare at the brunette. maybe it wasn’t the most polite thing to do, but she was intrigued. and a little worried that maybe she’d gone astray with her powers in her sleep or something and brought a stranger back from the dead. that would be a pretty big mess to try and solve. or maybe this girl really was just another ghost that was going to start frequenting mia’s life. she already had several. did this girl know she was a spirit? mia could sense it in everything about her, like her own version of a spidey sense. and she didn’t know if she had the heart to even try to bring that up. “um, sorry.. i just-” she stopped, not even sure how to approach this. “i don’t mean to be blunt, but are you dead?”

location: the coffee haus open

beacon hills wasn’t that cold. not when allison had survived winters in philadelphia and upstate new york. she was pretty sure the residents of beacon hills wouldn’t know their heads from their rears if it started snowing around here. but despite repeating that over and over in her head, it wasn’t sinking in. she was cold. couldn’t wrap her thick cardigan tight enough cold. knee high socks weren’t good enough cold. hot caffe mocha couldn’t warm her up cold. at least, it hadn’t yet; allison brought her drink to her lips again, hoping it would finally do the trick. as the rich liquid hit her tongue, she noticed the figure lurking over her. she swallowed as her stomach did a somersault. was it someone who recognized her? they were looking expectantly. “sorry, i think i spaced out. did you say something?” she asked.

mia loved going to the coffee haus now more than ever since it was winter and it was finally below fifty degrees in california for the first time in months. that was warm to most places, and the blonde was still in short sleeves, but she didn’t feel weird for wanting a hot coffee now. she walked up to the counter and waited in line to order her latte, but she couldn’t help but feel unsettled by something in the room around her. it was definitely related to her powers, and while she was doing way better when it came to that department, this was a feeling she wasn’t able to just ignore. and when she turned to the corner of the room and saw a brunette trying to bundle up, she got the same exact feeling that she normally did when she saw spirits reaching out to her. a chill ran down her spine, and she tried to just focus on grabbing her latte as she went through the motions of paying the cashier, but she couldn’t avert her gaze across the room as she blinked hard and went to the waiting counter. once her drink was up, she grabbed it and tried to just walk towards the door, but she couldn’t stop herself as she headed towards the older girl. “i’m confused. is that coffee even real?” she blurted out, figuring that she’d look a little crazy talking to a spirit that no one else could see, but she was curious. and the process didn’t freak her out as much as it used to.

“Oh, boring, Los Angeles is so overrated, and the traffic is hell, but France! Now that is a beautiful place from what things I’ve seen, although obviously the Eiffel Tower is a tourist hotspot, as is the Lourve, etc.” She remarks with a distant look in her eyes, she’s always wanted to travel and being a wedding planner could help with that a bit at least. Skye’s expression darkens as she glares at the other. “Real subtle there, aren’t ya? For all you know, I could have been human and deemed you mad for thinking me to be anything else, but alas, I’m something, and technically no, I’m not human on either side.” With a flick of her hands, she blows up the nearest trashcan and sighs, glancing back down towards her nails, completely unbothered. “Try witch instead.”

Mia was a little taken aback by Skylar’s comment, a little embarrassed of herself but also relieved that she had been right, because she didn’t know what she would’ve done if she wasn’t right. She tried to straighten herself a bit as she furrowed her eyebrows and tilted her head, but her coy demeanor fell when the trash can nearby went up into flames and trash went everywhere. The blonde yelped in surprise and practically jumped a foot away as her eyes widened, but then she tried to compose herself as she nodded slightly. “Uh, yeah.. I- Me too, actually.” She didn’t have anything cool to show in the moment, mostly because her heart was still racing and she was still reeling from the trash can. “I could feel it, when you were... were you even stitching me up? Or was it magic?”

“But I’ll probably call whatever monster there is out there Freddy now. It feels better for it to have a name, even if it’s not the right one. Makes it less…ominous. Not that a monster that can hurt you in your sleep isn’t ominous…” He took a deep breath as he tried not to worry too much. But it was hard. When it first happened, he thought he must have hurt himself in his sleep and that was why he had dreamed it. But Theo had been there and when Theo woke up, he was just like Kole. Now that Kole saw Amelia’s cut, he knew that he couldn’t pretend the monster wasn’t real. “I don’t know…but the fact that the injuries are real makes me think it can. I just don’t think it wants to..not yet at least.” He didn’t want to scare her but he also wanted to be honest with her. “I’m glad you’re okay, too,” he told her as he looked at her. “I’m glad you don’t remember it…it’s probably better that you don’t.”

“Do you think it’d get mad at the nickname? Would it even understand? What if it’s like.. a person we’re dealing with? Like- a witch or something?” Mia rambled, not even able to help herself as she frowned and tried to let herself calm down. There was no use getting worked up, but she couldn’t help it. The thought of a supernatural being that could invade dreams and hurt you was terrifying, and only sounded like it should be in a movie, not real life. She shuddered at the thought of it killing someone in their sleep. “So.. should we try to come up with ways to let ourselves know when we’re dreaming? I- I don’t know how else to counter it.” She paused and sighed at his next words. “I’m sorry, I.. I know this is normal for you guys, but it’s new for me. It’s all just a little freaky.”

“Oh, curiouser and curioser, where would you rather be living than this place?” Skye questions and offers a kind enough smile for the other to see when she turns back around and think she could trust her. “What’s still bothering you?” The injury will heal.“ Of course it was going away rather quickly with each second passing, but still.

Mia blanked out for a moment at the question, still focussing on the feeling of energy from Skylar’s hands as she frowned and shrugged. “I.. I don’t know, I guess probably Los Angeles? Or another country, like France.” She admitted, still a little dazed as she shook her head. “Nothing’s bothering me, I know it’s gonna heal.” She admitted, wondering what she should even say before she finally decided to turn her head and frown. “What are you? I- I’ve felt that energy before, with another one of my friends.. You aren’t just a human.” Maybe it was risky, but she couldn’t help it. It was gonna bother her too much to not know.

Removing her hand from the wound, she puts away her kit, having never even opened it, as she continues to listen. “You don’t feel like there’s any connections to the things around this place? That there’s a good reason why people still move here, besides the cheap prices of course.” She remarks with a snort, tuning out the whispers around her. “I think that there’s more than this town wants you to believe.”

Mia couldn’t help but shake her head when Skylar mentioned the cheap prices. “Trust me, if it weren’t for my dad being here, this is not where I would have chosen to live.” But unfortunately when she ran away from her last foster home, this was the only option if she didn’t want to be homeless. And she didn’t regret it, given the people she’s met so far like Lydia or Kole. But it definitely wasn’t her number one choice for a place to settle down. Once Skylar moved her hand, Mia frowned as she felt a shift in energy and tried not to let it show on her face, but she couldn’t help it. It definitely was because Skylar moved her hand, and now she was starting to wonder if Skylar was like Xavier, and if that’s what this was.

“Then it does sound like this Freddy guy is here in Beacon Hills…” Kole bit down on his bottom lip as he thought about how to describe it. “I…i was trapped in this tight space and I couldn’t escape for a while…I burst out and I could hear something…something horrible in the distance. My instincts just told me to run so I did but it felt like no matter how fast I ran or how far it wouldn’t matter. Whatever was out there was going to catch me. And it did…sort of…I faintly remember this huge creature and before I knew it, it had cut my cheek.” He raised his hand and placed his fingers where the cut had been. “But it didn’t stop there…my chest…my chest had cuts up and down it…like it was trying to kill me…but I woke up soon after with cuts that were already starting to heal…it was still painful though.”

“Well, not Freddy. He’s a fictional movie character, but something like him I guess, yeah..” Mia rambled nervously, staring down at her fingers as she frowned and tried not to let herself get too overwhelmed with the thought of that. It was scary, but she couldn’t let herself get too freaked out by it. Not yet. As she listened to Kole describe his dream, she felt practically horrified as she made a slight face and frowned the longer he went on. “I.. yeah, I can imagine. I wonder what happens if you get a life threatening injury while you’re sleeping. Does it just kill you? Can it even do that?” She didn’t want to think about it, but it was a legitimate question. And honestly she wasn’t sure she wanted to know the answer. “I’m really glad you’re okay, Kole. That’s awful. I don’t even really remember what I dreamed about, but I do remember I was having a nightmare.”

Raising an eyebrow, she rolls her eyes slightly. “I’m talking about the things that go bump in the night around here, unless you’re pretending to be oblivious about it because there’s no way in hell people don’t know that something strange occurs here. I know people may think that there should be a logical reason behind the things that happen here, but it’s certainly easier than that, if you’re willing to have a little faith.”

“Oh, that..” Mia laughed nervously, not sure how to even go about responding as she sat there and continued to let Skylar stitch up her shoulder. “I guess so, yeah. I just moved here like.. last month, so I’m kind of getting used to everything. But I’ve definitely seen the news stories, if that’s what you’re asking me. I don’t really know what to make of any of it, though.” She admitted, frowning as she felt Skylar’s hand brush against her back and a tingling sensation with it. It was familiar, but Mia couldn’t place it. “What’s your opinion then?”

“Stand up for yourself, and be your best advocate. That’s something that’s so important and can be applied to any career. I’ve definitely learned to speak up when it’s called for and to ask questions and to not be afraid to own it and just go for it.”

kole-richards​:

Kole could feel the increase of her anxiety and nerves and he wanted to make it stop. She didn’t need to feel bad or nervous about anything. It wasn’t something he loved about being a wolf, it was just something he dealt with and usually could ignore. His fingers itched to do something but he ultimately knew that it was better to just let her be. At least right now. “Um, yeah…it might have because you might have had to do numerous cleans and…” Kole was rambling again so he just stopped. “I don’t know what that is…” he admitted. Kole hadn’t watched many movies or tv for that matter. “But what happened to me was definitely a nightmare.”

Mia couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at the corner of her lips when Kole started to ramble back in response to her. It made her feel a lot better about her own rambling and definitely eased her nerves a bit as she took a deep breath and slowly nodded. “I only watched part of it once with this one foster sibling I had, and mostly I was watching through my fingers.” She admitted, frowning slightly at the realization that this might be their reality, not just a scary movie. “But, Freddy basically can invade dreams and kill people in real life with whatever he does to them in the dream. It’s.. it’s pretty gruesome. What– What was your nightmare? If I can ask?”

Skylar thought back to a family member of hers referencing how her bag often had a mary poppins-esque to it and it takes everything in her to not let out a laugh as she shrugs. “I’m a very literal person.” She remarks and sits down as well, making a face. “Well, normally yes because it’s a needle being punctured into your skin, but I can make it completely painless with a home remedy.” Aka a spell, waving her hand over, she mutters something under her breath and begins stitching up the wound. “So, what’s your opinion on the things that occur around here?”

Mia wasn’t sure if she really believed the wedding planner story, but she didn’t really have a specific reason not to so she just went with it as she took a deep breath and nodded, not even seeing Skylar wave her hand. But she did hear her mumble something and suddenly she didn’t really feel anything at all on her shoulder as the brunette started the stitches. It was a weird sensation, and Mia wanted to turn around and look but she didn’t want to move and mess the stitches up. “What do you mean?” She asked, wanting a more specific question. But also because she needed some time to come up with an acceptable answer that didn’t seem suspicious.

Kole shook his had. “No. There’s no need to replace them…I don’t really need them,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. “I’m sorry I hurt you,” he said after a moment. “I…part of um…part of being a werewolf is we can tell how others are feeling. I don’t want you to think that…I am keeping that from you…or I have some sort of unfair advantage.” It was important that he was truthful with Mia. “Oh…yeah…you did. Um…I’m not really one hundred percent sure what the monster is but it definitely attacks in your sleep and it’s definitely physical attacks and probably some psychological ones as well but I’m not sure on that last part yet.”

Mia nodded, feeling silly for even suggesting it as he reminded her that he was a wolf and didn’t need the bandages anyways. But she was just nervous and felt bad that he was doing all of this for her. As he mentioned that he could tell how she was feeling, suddenly she felt her nerves get ten times worse as her eyebrows furrowed and she started to overthink everything. Could he feel her anxiety? God, that was so embarrassing. She snapped out of it though to finally speak. “Oh, I.. No, it’s okay! It’s not like you had any choice not to to clean it up. Seriously, it’s okay. It would’ve hurt worse if I had tried to do it by myself.” She frowned more when he described this new monster and shook her head slightly, hardly believing it. “So like Nightmare on Elm Street? This place just turns more and more into a movie every day..”

“Of course right here, though I’d rather you be sitting or laying down since this might take a while.” She remarks, staring blankly at the other in a neutral face whilst taking out a sewing kit. “I’m studying to be a weddin planner, you never know when to be prepared.” She shrugs and points to a nearby bench.

Mia wasn’t actually expecting the other to pull out a legit sewing kit, but here they were. The blonde wasn’t sure she could stomach getting stitches without any type of anesthetic like at a hospital, but she didn’t want to come off as a baby and it was too late, because next thing she knew she was sitting on the bench on the sidewalk as she took a shaky breath. “Is this gonna hurt?” She practically squeeked, frowning softly.

[amcliasinclair]

skylcrfallon​:

Laughter escapes her before she can really soft it, and she quickly clears her throat to stifle anymore. “Whoops, sorry, figured it might make you feel a little better, but perhaps it may also be due to my morbid mind.” She states casually, her hand reaching out to check how bad the injury is. “Anything is possible, Mia, don’t ever doubt that, this place is certainly proof that the world is far more close-minded than you would expect.” Stepping back, she puts on her best innocent face once more. “I can patch it up, though there’s no guarantee that won’t occur again, and you have to trust me.” Which is something she felt nobody should do.

Mia could tell that Skylar was laughing at her, but honestly she didn’t mind. She was used to it at this point, so it didn’t really phase her. The next comment definitely piqued Mia’s interest though as she frowned and wondered if maybe Skylar was a supernatural. It seemed like everyone Mia seemed to meet was one, so it wouldn’t be too surprising. “Like.. right here? Without any first aid stuff? Are you carrying a sewing kit or something?”

[amcliasinclair]

kole-richards​:

Kole wasn’t stupid. He could pick up the chemosignals from Amelia and he knew that he had hurt her. It sucked. Really bad. Kole hated that he had to do that but it was to help her in the long run. “Yeah,” he said, as his eyes met hers from over her shoulder. “You’re welcome. I like to help.” Kole gave her a small smile before reaching back into the first aid kit. “I have a couple of those sports bandages. Mainly because I played lacrosse.” Kole pulled one out and gently placed it over the wound. “I definitely think this happened in your sleep…just not by accident.” Kole gently pressed the adhesive edges to her skin before letting his hand drop. “There you go. It should start healing soon.” He licked his lips and then pushed a hand through his hair. “So…there’s this monster…at least that’s what I think of it…it attacks in dreams or sleep…it was like I was having a dream but it felt so real and the pain from the dream…the damage…it was still there when I woke up.”

Mia knew that Kole could probably tell that she was in pain, but she tried her best to hold her tears in anyways as she grimaced and waited for him to finish. As he looked at her, she blinked back tears and smiled faintly at him before nodding. “Okay, thank you. I can replace them if you want, I don’t wanna hog up your whole first aid kit.” She offered anxiously, feeling bad that he was cleaning her wound. But then he mentioned that he didn’t think it was an accident and she froze and furrowed her eyebrows at him. The blonde then slowly pulled her shirt back over her head and continued to frown as she tried to process what he was saying. “DId you just say a monster that can attack while people are sleeping? I heard that correctly, right?” Part of her was hoping he’d have another answer.
