caught in the crossfire

isobel frowned. he felt real. and everything about this place felt too realistic to be a figment of her imagination. “you’re being way too nice,” she replied quietly and gently removed his hand from her cheek. she half laughed and wiped a tear away from her cheek. “could you give me some space? i appreciate you trying to make me feel better. this is just–” she steps back and runs her hands through her hair. “this is fucking batshit crazy, kai. and how do i know i can trust you? maybe you’re trying to kill me again and what will i do then? i don’t know that i could do it again. i can’t kill you again.”

“you’re the only one who would think i’m nice” though it was more his murderous rampage rather than his attitude that people referred to now. despite the fact that kai’s hands twitched with his overwhelming desire to touch isobel again, they returned to his side at her words. the least he could do wasrespect her wishes, even if he had to physically hold himself back. “i’ll do whatever you need me to and if all else fails, you can always tie me up.” he offered, half joking to try and ease the tension and half serious because he had always been more than willing to be tied up by isobel.

understanding started to slowly wash over her. especially when she reached up to touch his cheek to make sure he was real and dropped her hand just as fast. sephy had truly thought she had found a safe place this time around. “no, i wouldn’t dream of it.” she bumped her head back against the wall. “what are you exactly?” there was truly no way to ask the question politely but at least she tried. “the last one that caught up to me was a werewolf.”

his anger quickly turned to confusion as she touched his cheek, a soft shuddering sigh escaping his lips in response to her touch. it had been several decades since he had been touched with any sort of kindness, but he still hadn't expected a simple touch to have that effect on him. “werewolf? those exist?” it made sense, but there hadn’t been a time when enzo had seen or even heard of one. granted he hadn’t seen much of anything in his cell. “i’m lorenzo. if i had friends, they’d call me enzo.” the response hadn’t been what she was asking, but it was the response that she was getting. he still didn’t trust that she wasn’t with augustine, but threatening her didn’t seem to be getting him anywhere.

open to: anyone 21+ test muse: noah lehman, 30, bisexual, computer programmer, nerdy and kind of awkward. plot: your muse left noah at the altar six months ago without explanation and is now turning up at his place. made with beta

on some level noah hadn't been expecting to ever see his ex fiance again, so when he opened his front door to them it was like a visceral punch to the gut. "why are you here?" noah's tone was flat, almost emotionless and definitely out of character for him. there was no way that he was going to give them a warm welcome, not after being left at the altar. "i've gotta get to work soon, so if you could hurry it up."

“where the hell are we? where am i?” isobel took a deep breath right as he did and followed it with another.. and another. a weak attempt to stop herself from spiraling into a panic attack. “you loved me? it was your family wasn’t it. they.. they turned you against me.. before.” she tried to blink back the hot tears in her eyes and her hand shook when he wrapped her fingers around his throat. “i didn’t want to kill you, kai. could you.. could you please forgive me? in case i’m dying right now i’d like to think my soul can rest easy if you forgive me.”

“i don’t know where we are.” kai knew that he wasn’t someone who was considered to be all that soft or comforting, but he always did his best when it came to comforting isobel. or at least, he had done his best. looking down at this version of her made him feel absolutely rusty when it came to connecting with other people. “i love you. never in the past tense. it was them but currently the gemini coven doesn’t exist anymore.” the fact that his family had turned him against her in another time wasn’t surprising. he’d been nothing but a burden to them, but with isobel by his side he had become entirely too powerful. in both of their cases, his family had apparently gotten rid of the ‘problem’. 

“you’re not dying. just try to breathe.” he attempted to soothe, letting his hand lightly rest on her cheek. “but you had to protect yourself, and i don’t hold that against you.” maybe his opinion would be different if he hadn’t already lost her years ago, but it wasn’t and he had.

“it’s like– you, of all people, telling me that i’m dead is freaking me out so i don’t know? maybe go away.” izzy tried to think back on the events leading up to this. had she been knocked out? she hadn’t done anything to be knocked out. “i killed you,” she whispered and it felt like getting her heart ripped out. “you were going to hurt me and i killed you and you shouldn’t be here because you’re the one who’s dead. so yes, kai, if that’s your real name.. you can hurt me and you have hurt me.” 

for once kai was silent for a moment, staring blankly and attempting to reconcile her version of events with his own. given how upset she was getting, it was getting easier to believe her words, despite the fact that he himself hadn’t done anything she was saying.“i... that’s not what happened to me.” he took a deep breath before continuing. "you were killed in front of me. i couldn’t save you, but i avenged you.” slowly he took hold of her wrist, guiding her hand to wrap her fingers around his neck. “i would rather die than hurt you.”

I love you, you fucking.. fucking idiot! Nice of you to say. The first bit, less so the second.

“i would appreciate it if you stopped speaking about me that way.” losing it on.. whatever this was.. wouldn’t help her any. she tried not to stare. to appear aloof in the face of the one that appeared in her nightmares. his blood was on her hands. that was never going to change. “i don’t want any trouble,” she declared and raised her hands up slowly to show him she was weaponless. “i can’t do this today. honest. i’m probably one meltdown away from being locked away for a week or two.”

“what else do you want me to say?” the idea that even a phantasm of isobel could hurt or trouble him was actually kind of amusing to kai. he’d long since discarded the idea that isobel herself would be his downfall, though her death nearly had been. “you’re acting like i’m some kind of wild beast. ” though that was exactly how he’d been acting since her death, it wasn’t the point. despite the fact that he adamantly claimed she wasn’t his isobel, he still couldn’t rip his gaze away from her. “you look so much like her, i literally couldn’t hurt you.”

[bcastful]

"no. you're dead." for once that word combination wasn't a threat, instead just a blunt and somewhat bleak statement of his reality. it had been years since isobel beaumont had died and he'd been there to witness the whole gruesome ordeal. "i've already been there, done that and gone on many a murderous rampage about it. isobel is dead and you're not her." despite denying that the woman in front of him was his isobel, he was suprisingly calm about her random appearance. at least for kai parker that is. @ctclysm

ginny's whole face turned a nice shade of scarlet. she could feel herself blinking in disbelief, embarrassment coloring every word about to leave her lips. "you - ah - fork!" she was utterly ashamed, having completely misread the signals. "i thought... since..." promptly shutting her mouth up, she just sighed. "i'm so sorry. i don't know how i didn't realized." setting up a lesbian with a dude, could there be anything more aggravating. "let me make it up to you. let's go get drinks. on me, of course."

[bcastful]

"awww. you're so cute when you're all embarrassed. i'd love to get drinks with you. " any lingering tension that had still been etched on her face all but disappeared as she smiled at ginny's cute little blushing reaction. "come here." she paused to take hold of one ginny's hands, her fingers curling around the woman's wrist as she leaned forward in her chair. "now i have to ask you something super serious... do i really give off a straight vibe? you legally have to tell me if i give off a straight vibe." she knew she should probably stop teasing, but now she was having too much fun.

open to anyone

based on this

other: maybe she has a crush on your muse, maybe they are besties and she is protective, maybe they are exes trying to remain friends, maybe it's a sort of enemies with tension situationship... i'm down for anything! platonic and/or familial welcome.

as soon as the other's date leaves the table in search of the bathroom, ginny takes the just-emptied seat without waiting to be invited. "what are you doing? you have to smile more! you're scaring the poor thing away!" hands waving in the air, she fixes them with a glance. "put some effort into looking like you want to be here."

[bcastful]

"it's almost like I don't actually wanna be here." deborah replied, lightly swatting at ginny's waving hands. "when you said that you had a friend you'd like to set me up with, i didn't expect it to be a guy." deb was sure that either ginny was messing with her or there had been some kind of huge miscommunication. "you know i'm gay right? i've literally been flirting with you for weeks."

“excuse me. what?” persephone looked up at the man taken aback. she had only been on her way back to the bar after a quick trip to the bathroom. “i–i’m not following you. are you sure you don’t have me confused with someone else? or..maybe had one drink too many? that happens around here a lot.”

@bcastful​

he stays in her space, like a coiled spring ready to strike at any moment. the endless years of experimentation and blood starvation had really taken a toll on him and this lovely lady had the unfortunate fate of being in his path. “you’re everywhere, love.” he replied, his eyes never leaving hers as he spoke. “everytime i’ve turned a corner in the past three days, there is your pretty little self. if you’re going to try a lead me into a trap, i’d rather we just get this over with.”

“are you alright? you’ve barely touched your... strange grey mystery food” edythe eyed the food on bella’s plate and didn’t even attempt to hide her distaste. human food never looked super great to her, but this was worse than usual. “you know that i can get them to bring you something else, right?” @ctclysm​​

"are you saying that you're an unsafe person, mr. cabin in the woods?" dahlia kept her tone light and joking, despite the fact her eyes had fixated on him warily the moment she had spotted him. "i could use a first aid kit if you've got one." she held up her arm, showing off the now bloodied flannel she had been able to haphazardly wrap around her bite wound. "some asshole on the trail just bit me, so i bear sprayed him."
