{ pulling up with a small team of three, they were armed and ready. bradley had been itching for payback since he learned about the attack on the restaurant; he lost a couple good friends thanks to pearce and his crew. being more of a shoot-first guy made it difficult sometimes to follow a leader who played the smarter card, striking only when it would deliver the most impact. over the three weeks, strings were pulled and here they were in an abandoned warehouse waiting for the enemies arrival. lured by a false business proposition. they were placed strategically in and outside of the warehouse, two guys in the main room playing the part until the merch was in place. the two guys posing as dealers drew fire and killed the first two of peace’s crew. after the shots were heard, it was a free for all. one by one, bodies dropped, bullets and fists flew. }

bradley moved from corner to corner, dropping anyone who wasn’t wearing a black hoodie. gun in hand, he turned the corner and almost pulled his trigger only to find his hands and full body froze. “fuck. what the fuck are you doing here–” his eyes bore into his lovers, shock and desperation all over his face. it didn’t take long for him to realise there was no other reason she would be here, and suddenly he felt angry. betrayed. gun still pointing at her head, bradley knew he needed to shoot. in the background he could hear his guys shouting clear, gathering themselves to leave and calling out to him. “just- fuck,” he whispered, before calling out. “i’m good, do what you need to do and go to the van.” he waited until the steps moved away before finally lowering the gun. “say nothing. - meet me at the hotel tonight.” they had planned to do so anyway, but now it was more of a demand. he took one last look at her before exiting the room and jogging out to the car, praying he wasn’t about to regret letting her go. @amoretsundere

If she had squeezed just a little more, then she would’ve sent a bullet flying towards Bradley’s face. It was a good thing her reflexes were quick, but to process the fact that she was holding a gun to his head and vice versa? That was going to take a little longer. Sienna had made it a point for so long to create a life for herself that seemed as legit and simple as any other normal person. You know? The ones that weren’t involved in crime and didn’t go to shady business deals, strapped up with a gun and more than willing to pull the trigger to make sure she was the one coming out alive. However, she had never intended to get romantically involved with someone. The fact that she had, had been a big deal in itself. She was sure now, someone up above or down below was laughing at her now for thinking she had could a small little piece of something outside of it all. Dumb girl. It took her a few seconds even after he had lowered his gun, to lower her own and even then she didn’t say anything. All she could do was stare at him, hardly able to fully take in what was happening. Even the voices of the others had somehow fallen away, his sounded like he was being muffled and just like that he was gone from her sight. 

With the time she had to wrap her mind around what happened and let it all try to sink in, it really meant that she was able to rile herself up. She wasn’t sure how to react so naturally she fell onto and held on tightly to her anger. She was lying too, she knew that but she couldn’t help what was bubbling up inside of her. She kept the gun on her and now with how much more alert she was, when she entered the room she scoped out the whole place like she was expecting to find something. Part of her was convincing herself that he knew what he was doing, he must’ve, right? But then again, he looked as surprised as she had to have a gun pointed at each other. Or was that just another deceitful play? She couldn’t be sure anymore. When she heard someone outside the door she quickly moved to the side furthest from the entrance, her gun by her side after fighting with herself between putting it away or pointing it, “You’ve got five minutes to explain what the fuck that was all about and who the hell you are.”

She watched as he turned his back to her and at that moment, she allowed some of her anger to take over her. Before the door could close, her hand reached out to stop it, pushing it open as she stepped through the threshold. It was one of the few times in the past three years that she actually let herself act on her emotions. In a swift motion, as the door slammed shut, she had taken her purse off her shoulder and threw it at the back of Jaxon’s head. “Asshole!” she exclaimed with a huff of breath as she stood in front of the door, the documents clutched some tightly in her hand, they were starting to crinkle. Her reaction was almost irrational but there were so many pent up emotions when it came to Jaxon that she couldn’t stop herself from letting some of it out. 

“What the fuck!” He yelled out, his hand going up to the back of his head while spinning around glancing at the purse, then looking at her. His head might’ve been fuzzy but add anger into the situation and it didn’t take a lot to make it clear up quicker. That itself was a reason for him to be pissed off but Diana’s presence really was something he hated. Even just talking about her, people bringing her name up, he made sure no one did it from the way he reacted. It wasn’t her fault, it was all his but he couldn’t help it. She was the reminder of everything he failed at. A bad husband, a bad person really because he’d never forgive himself for being a terrible father and he just wanted to forget it. Drink himself into oblivion. He was sure she would like that. “You come around here demanding shit and throwing shit at me?” Giving a kick to her purse, it went flying towards the wall. “You want me to sign that?” He pointed over to the hand that held the documents, whatever they were. Walking over to her, he yanked them from her hand only to hold them up and rip the papers down the middle. “Fuck you.”

Romi knew from the moment she saw the Nightcap that heading in wasn’t a good idea. Never mind the fact that it was barely ten in the morning and she had just dropped her daughter off at school, but maybe it wasn’t the best for her to go reliving old memories. But her feet were already moving her before she could even give it much thought and soon enough, she was stepping through the threshold. The bar looked almost identical to her memories of it ten years ago, except for a few different decorations. Her eyes scanned the area as she approached the front bar, her gaze lingering on the far corner booth that sparked a few happy memories. She had spent countless hours in that booth, once proudly calling it theirs, and now she wondered if it was someone else’s. Her gaze shifted to the bartender, snapping herself out of her memories as he asked her for her order. She ordered herself a mimosa, not really expecting herself to get that far into the bar but also founding it too awkward to leave now without ordering something. With a nod, the bartender walked off to make her drink, and she sat down on one of the stools, her eyes looking around at the familiarities. @amoretsundere

[amoretsundere]

Throwing the remaining end of the cigarette onto the ground, crushing it under his shoe, he watched a couple of the guys walking off after having given them some tasks to accomplish. Waiting till they were out of sight, he took a deep breath, giving himself a few more seconds before entering through the back of the pub and setting off towards the front of the establishment. What he really wanted to do was head back home for the day but he toughed out whatever he was feeling, it wasn’t exactly the time for him to start slacking off now with what was brewing around the city. Pulling his phone out when he heard it going off a couple times, his eyes were on the screen reading a couple texts Julian sent through. “Go unload in the back. Come back up here after.” Damian told the bartender as he came around without giving him a glance. It wasn’t until Damian was behind the bar on his own that he finally put the phone away. The last person he expected to see when he looked up was Romi and he didn’t hide the surprise of her presence either. “Holy shit.” He muttered. For a second he thought his mind was playing a trick on him, but there was no way he could ever mistake anyone else for her. One of a kind, the type of girl that made you feel like your heart was going to burst out of your chest even when you haven’t seen her in years.

She glanced towards him before allowing her view to become one that started to watch her feet walk. Looking down towards the ground she was stumped, at first. Not really knowing how she could ever answer that question. What was she afraid of? Losing her siblings? But that went as a more silent acknowledgement. She had already lost her brother, as well as her parents and that feeling was unlike no other. In the times her mom and dad were alive, one of her greatest fears was failing them. Especially when she came to Mystic Falls. Her affiliation with vampires and Leo, was something she was afraid of them not approving. Even now, she had questions that would never be answered. There were gaps for her, ones that would forever be a mystery. The feeling of failure was strong, even now, but that felt more so directed to the one beside her. Perhaps it was the strongest because she felt like she had already failed him, he knew how she felt and for her, that would always remain. No matter what he said. “Losing you.” she finally answers as she looks back towards Leo. Right now? It was the only thing she felt afraid of in this present time. 

Turning his body to face her once she had answered, his gaze locked on hers for a few seconds before looking back towards the view. He had lost count now of how many times he had came close to death or at least felt like it was just around the corner especially when he was in Dante’s presence. At this point it kind of felt like second nature to him, the potential to die but he didn’t want it to be that way anymore. That was the whole point of what they were doing now. He didn’t think it would ever truly go away, not completely but if it didn’t consume him anymore then that was enough. Although his own life wasn’t the only one he was concerned with either. “Back at ya.” He spoke casually, breathing out as he did. She might’ve been more skilled and prepared, a hunter, but it didn’t mean he didn’t think about it and he didn’t worry. “Should we go for a swim now?”

“Another satisfied customer.” She hadn’t stopped to change, simply entered Amara’s office after knocking to give her the cheque. “This is a new look for me…” Gesturing to the outfit, she paused in the mirror and checked herself out. “He was the new guy. Very smart, polite, no trouble. I set the ground rules and filled in all the paperwork.” Holding the file up, she placed it on the desk with the cheque. “Big tipper… He wants to become a regular. I told him I’d set it up after I spoke to you.” She added. “He has what he called a Sinitta kink, but I kinda dig it, this attire is very freeing.” 

[amoretsundere]

Smiling over at Talia when she walked into the office, picking up her glass of wine Amara leaned back against the chair. Taking a sip as she watched her walk to the mirror and the desk, liking the simplicity of the little piece she had on. “The new ones are always so fun.” Amara commented, although she hadn’t been in the position that her girls were in, in a long time. Still, she could still see it. The real conservative first timers that are desperate to let their desires be known and appreciated by someone. The shyness that some of them brought around until they grew comfortable use to be amusing to her. “As if you need to be freed.” She huffed out a small laugh before taking another sip. “I personally prefer you in leather.”

Ryan twisted a scowl on his face, aiming it directly at his brother. It was void of any threat, merely a typical brotherly look of annoyance, or a silent, would you shut the fuck up expression. Taking a seat with his whiskey and his beer, undecided which appealed more, he scoffed. “That’s very unhygienic. Who wants a dried-up tongue on their wall? Nobody. It’s disgusting. You’re a disgusting man, brother.” Ryan chuckled as he spoke, pointing behind him in the direction of the office. “But if that’s what gets you goin’, feel free to go take it.” Placing his hand around his beer, he was well aware they had some things to discuss in regards to the business but he’d been waiting for Chris to approach it himself. Ryan had laid most of the info out to him a while back and gave the green light for the guys to fill in the rest if Chris started asking. Maybe it was too much? Regardless, Ryan had grown restless waiting to hear what his brother thought about all of it; his patience only stemmed so far. “So,” he began, picking up the beer and taking a swig. “Where’s your head at lately?” Obviously meaning, did he still want to jump onboard. 

“I’m disgusting? You’re the one that asked for a tongue in the first place.” Okay, Chris knew that wasn’t the case and Ryan’s guy was just an idiot for taking his brother’s words so literal but it was still a funny way to twist it; at least to him. “Nah, I’m good with the one god gave me. No one’s complained over it.” He chuckled from the way he continued to amuse himself, even if it only made Ryan roll his eyes in the end. He was use to that anyway, whether it was a serious look of annoyance or a joking one, he got it more often than not from just about everyone. He’d be rich by now if he got a penny for every time he got it. Exhaling, he gathered himself up some when Ryan asked where his head was. He wasn’t entirely sure how to answer it either. Did he already say he wanted in on the things going on? Yes. Would he be truly up for whatever task was thrown his way? He couldn’t say for sure. At the end of the day, Chris might’ve been a headache to deal with but he wasn’t going out looking to spill blood either. “I’ve been wondering,” because he had been so clueless to the life his brother created for himself, he couldn’t even guess the answer. “When was the first time you killed someone?” He went for it flat-out, which wasn’t surprising, he wasn’t known for biting his tongue or beating around the bush.

She didn’t know what Jaxon’s reaction was going to be. She was hoping that he would just sign the papers, no protest, no questions asked. But she knew that would be unlikely and was prepared to have him close the door in her face. When he dropped the papers on the floors, she could feel her anger and annoyance building up inside but she only showed it with a scowl on her face as she crouched down to pick up the papers. “I don’t have time to play this stupid game,” she said, a hint of her anger seeping out into her words. That was precisely why she had originally mailed the papers to him; she didn’t want to deal with his drunken ass. “You’re signing these.” She was practically commanding him as she held out the papers once more.

If he wasn’t currently under the influence, he was sure he would’ve already felt the sudden pressure in his head over the small bit of conversation already had. He didn’t bother saying anything in return, simply standing there for a few more seconds as he watched her gather the pieces of paper until she spoke about signing again. At this point when he looked at her, he wasn’t sure what he was seeing when he did. Was it the bad memories he created himself or the good ones that made him want to hurl? “I’m going to bed.” He stated, pushing the door to close it as he backed away and turned to walk towards the room. If he could forget the whole encounter, he would’ve picked that option but his mind had no interest in the papers, not even enough to curiously ask what they were about. For a long time now Jax walked through his life pretending it hadn’t fallen apart by numbing everything about it, seeing Diana woke him up and that was the last thing he wanted.

Alanah wasn’t expecting the sudden reaction from the woman, the photo out of her hands before she could even blink. She instinctively took a half-step back from the shock, unsure of what to say as she watched the woman. She could feel her heart begin to race and she was starting to wonder if looking for Jenine had been a good idea. “I-I’m Alanah Palmer.” She could barely spit the words out, her anxiety taking over. She wasn’t even sure what was making her more anxiety; the woman’s reaction to the photo or the fact that she was one step closer to Jenine. “Do you know Jenine? Do you know where she is?”

There was a moment where Shiloh wanted to spit out something along the lines of buried somewhere in Nebraska but she bit her tongue a little bit longer. Even though her mother hadn’t been the best and she was a dead woman but blood was blood and that always stuck with her which meant she wouldn’t give out just anything to anyone that came along. Right now especially, she was blinded by what she was trying to protect. Maybe if she wasn’t, she would’ve been naturally more open-minded by the encounter and picked up on the obvious features. “I know where she is.” Finally answering with a nod of her head. It wasn’t really a lie anyway. “Why are you looking for her?” 

[amoretsundere]

xmouthbreather‌:

“Promise?” He eyed her, sceptical at best. Shiloh was as independent as the rest of them and when she got an idea in her head? Riley wasn’t stupid, there was no stopping her. “Or at least, promise me you won’t just take off without a word again. My brain doesn’t process worry very well.” He grumbled, unsure how much she really knew about just how incredibly true that was. “Okay.” He began, releasing her hands to move his own to the sides of her neck, brushing his thumbs across her jawline. “You wanna tell me what she told you?” Riley wouldn’t force her, but it looked like she needed to get this off her chest. Besides, he couldn’t hide his own curiosity, being well aware that the elder Maddox was indeed hiding something he hadn’t wanted Shiloh to discover. What could it possibly be? “Have you seen him yet?”

“Promise.” She nodded, hoping she would keep to it. Sometimes, reckless choices just landed in her lap and she had to go with them but now she’d make it a point to send a text to him when she did. “I know, it wasn’t my best moment.” If it were the other way around, she would be pissed. Growing up as they did, you were more aware of death always lurking around each corner. It made her wonder how normal people lived day to day, whether they thought about death as much as the people around her did. Sighing she moved back, sitting down on the bed once her legs backed against it. “I haven’t seen him. Kinda scared to.” Not because he’d be angry with her, that much she accepted before she even left. Her fear came from confronting him and learning the truth about what he had been hiding. Just the idea of finally speaking to him made her feel all twisted up and sick, so it probably said more that she didn’t march right over to him once she was in the same city as Shawn. “She told me that she killed Mateo. You know, so him walking around alive and well isn’t something she exactly thought she’d see again.” Shiloh shrugged. “And there was no way she was messing with me by lying.” Something she had with her would help with that when it came to Shawn as well. “Which means, Shawn has been covering up the fact that Mateo died, even to Mateo because it’s not like Mateo woke up in transition or something. So..you know, not a lot of possibilities left.” The truth was sitting right in front of her but she didn’t want to see it or hear it, which was why she was stalling the confrontation.

It was only once the words came out that she noticed the shake in her hands and the nauseous feeling creeping up her chest. What more was there to say? Her eyes jumped from her hands back up to him, saying nothing but telling him just with the look on her face that she wasn’t joking. “Quiero decir que pusiste un bebé en mí.” She knew it didn’t need to be clarified like that but it was her attempt at helping it sink in. Saying it again though, it only made more colour drain from her face as she stayed seated. Was he angry? He looked angry. “Perdón.” Mila shook her head, staying somewhat calm at least on the surface. She’d had time to freak out so she supposed, now it was his. The entire situation felt miserable, usually, she was the one pulling him out of moods like this, not putting him in them. She couldn’t help but feel responsible, like everything she’d been trying to do to help him didn’t matter now she’d launched this grenade at him. “You’re the only person I’ve been with in months.” She piped up, just putting it out there that there wasn’t gonna be a who’s the daddy Jerry moment. “And I took my pill like I always have… But you know it’s not 100%, and we do fuck a lot so…” Shaking her head, she frowned. “I know it’s not what you want, it’s not what I wanted either but here we are.” Shrugging a shoulder, her eyes continued to follow him, bracing herself for him to explode. 

There was a never ending string of ‘no’ going through his mind wanting to refuse what was being told to him. There was no way. Him? A father? He might’ve felt like one when it came to Shiloh, the way he went about the big brother role left to him but at the end of the day he wasn’t her dad and he sure as hell didn’t bring her into the world knowing his lifespan was less than a decade. How was he supposed to handle that? Did that mean he had to share what he had been hiding with Mila now? Or did he keep it to himself until the very end still? The latter had been what he planned to do but now things were different. How could he keep something like that if he had a kid with her. “This is fucked.” He blurted out, though he was referring to his thoughts over his deal and not the fact that she was pregnant but he didn’t look to clarify it either. He felt like the air was being knocked out of him so before he could say anything else he was making his way towards the backyard. Once he reached it, he inhaled deeply trying to settle himself down though the dogs racing up trying to get him to pay any attention to him didn’t help. While he usually gave them all the love, he gave them both a little push instead to move them aside so he could put some distance between himself the backdoor.

"Maxy boy!” Micah shouted happily at the sight of Max, ironically since Max had more years on Micah but that wasn’t important. Coming up behind him, Micah brought his hands up to Max’s shoulders, giving them a little squeeze and forcing a little shake before letting go. “You hear Aria’s back? I think that calls for a celebration and given that you’re her favorite person around here, I think you should jump out of a cake or something. Minimum clothing. How do you feel about G-strings?” He couldn’t help but laugh, not only from the mental image of that but because clearly if anyone was Aria’s favorite it was Micah. At least, he’d argue about that with anyone happily. Really, he just thought he was everyones favorite. @xcheerios

Hearing the front door swing open, Micah made his way around to meet Tara near the front knowing it was her before she even made it over the threshold. He had only gotten there a few minutes before, slipping out of the clothes he had dirtied up throughout the day. “My wife shouldn’t be coming home so late.” He commented as she finally came into sight, instantly smiling at the sight of her. Their marriage might’ve been a joke, though the legal papers weren’t and neither were the feelings he had towards Tara. She was one of the few people he truly cared about and would do anything for. “Especially not alone. Don’t tell me we struck out tonight?” He pouted for a second before walking over to greet her with a kiss. @xmouthbreather

Too late to back out now, though she did consider it, shifting her weight closer to the door without even registering it. Maybe she could just… Leave. Heck, she even thought about playing it off like she was only joking, something about just wanting to see his face. No, she couldn’t do that. Mila breathed out, waiting until he sat down before walking over and sitting opposite. “Okay…” She swallowed the lump in her throat and looked towards him. The words were stuck in her throat. How do say it? Simply? Ramble first and explain that somehow it would be ok? Would it? Though his reaction was anyones guess, she felt like she was prepared for a major lack of happy excitement. “Look, I don’t know how it- well, I mean I know how it happened but I don’t know how it happened.” Mila frowned. What she was trying to say was that she hadn’t done anything wrong, she’d taken her pill as she always would, every morning with a cup of orange. “Fuck.” Dropping her face into her hands, she dragged her fingers over her cheeks, took a deep breath and moved them back to her knees. “Estoy embarazada.” She blurted out, a little too quickly. She was wrong when she thought that maybe saying it out loud would lift a weight, it only seemed to make her feel heavier. 

Shawn had nothing else to say, at least not until she was done with whatever she was trying to get out. So many things ran through his head but somehow none of them were what ended up falling from her lips. He couldn’t help but just stare at her for what felt like an eternity in silence, but really it was only a couple seconds. “Deja de bromear.” He half scoffed, half huffed out what resembled a weak chuckle. She must’ve been, right? She couldn’t be serious about something like that. Right? And yet, every second that passed, looking at her, seeing the way she was acting even from the moment she had walked in something had felt off to him. Now with this? The reality of it was slowly sinking in for him. “Pero como que estas embarazada.” He spoke in disbelief, shooting up from the couch no longer feeling like he could stay planted there. “Tell me you’re fuckin’ lying right now Mila.” That’s what he wanted to hear. He’d take a twisted up joke right now over it being true. It wasn’t because he absolutely was against the idea, that he didn’t want something like this. It wasn’t about wanting it, it was about knowing that he shouldn’t because he didn’t have much a future.
