Elisabete Rosewane

Shadowhunter | 27 | New York

[thxrinbelefleur]

“You’d think after I’ve told them no like five times already they’d get the hint that I am not coming back yet.” Thorin scoffed. “Parents. Can’t live with them can’t live without them. My brother and I are counting down the days until they retire and leave us in charge.”

[elisa-rxsewxne]

Elisa had been avoiding everyone she knew because it was easier to navigate her new life that way. What she hadn’t been expecting was for her past to come up to her and strike up a conversation as if nothing had happened. “Thorin!” She jumped back, scared. Her hand covered her mouth as she felt fangs pinch her bottom lip. “In charge of what?” Elisabete couldn’t remember if Thorin had ever told her if his parents were in charge of an Institute somewhere.

“Accepting what you’ve lost is the first step.” She added, she knew what it was like, to be so certain of who you were, what you were and when that all changed- well you felt like you lost yourself and you were stuck somewhere very dark. Rayna looked at the other, biting her lip for a moment before resting a hopefully reassuring hand on the others leg. “I know you didn’t and you might not know what to do now, but in time it’ll come to you. Just because you don’t have the runes or the angelic blood anymore doesn’t mean you can’t still help.” She told the other, trying to spark hope in what she knew was a probably hopeless filled mind, “It’s why I joined the Praetor, it’s why I help the Shadowhunters, even when they were the one’s that turned me out so fast that I didn’t have time to land on my feet. It’s rough to start with but that’s why I’m here, don’t see me as a guardian, see me as a friend that wants to help you.”

“They don’t know. No one knows. No one that cares anyways.” Elisa said, picking at her fingernails. Only Beau knew because he was there, that much she remembered. But her family and friends? They probably thought she was dead...well let’s face it, she technically was. “I don’t want to join any Praetor. I just want to wake up from this awful nightmare and find myself in my bed in the Institute.”

His expression softened ever so slightly, not that anyone who didn’t know him extremely well would notice. “You can work on that.” He said simply because he’d gotten there with it and it had been important to him. “Mhm… So you know me. Should I be concerned?” Not that he was.

“No.” Elisa sighed softly. “But only because they weren’t a part of your clan. The...the...” She hadn’t admitted the incident out loud yet. It would make it too real. “Nevermind.” Elisabete muttered.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

raynaxwcyfelle:

Rayna looked at the other and she couldn’t help but see herself in the other, back when everything started changing for her. “I haven’t been doing this very long, but I have heard people say that to me a lot.” She told the other, thinking for a moment before speaking once again, “I’m an ex shadowhunter too, I was actually about to move to the citadel to become an Iron Sister. I went out on a mission, got bit and this is where I am now and I fought myself for a long time about what I had became, I loathed my life, I became a drunk, I didn’t think anything was going to be good again… but I was wrong.” Because life still wasn't’ amazing, but it was better then it had been before. “And sure you might not need the Praetor, I said the same thing back when they helped me not long after I turned, but what’s the harm in having a little help. Or if you don’t want to think of it as help, a buddy who’s watching out for you.”

“I don’t need someone watching out for me.” She said in disgust. “I’m a Shadowhunter. I can hold my own--” her voice died in her throat. “...Was a Shadowhunter...” Elisa looked down at her hands. They were so pale they were practically translucent. Not wanting to ever see her runeless arms, Elisabete had adopted wearing nothing but long sleeves and high collared shirts. All she wanted to do was to go back home. To step into an Institute and know that’s where she belonged. “I didn’t ask for this.” Tears welled up in her eyes. “I don’t know what to do.” She whispered.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

raynaxwcyfelle:

“I’d like to think I’m neither.” Rayna chuckled, because if anything she’d say she was fearless. Though that might be taking it a little too far. “Honestly, I was looking for you.” She told the other, turning her head, “I’m with the Praetor and as a former Shadowunter you know we sort of keep tabs on new Downworlders and I was assigned to you because our situations are very similar.”

Elisa’s jaw fell. She quickly closed her mouth and stiffened. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t need the Praetor.”

[elisa-rxsewxne]

the-raphaelsantiago:

“Someone is going to mistake you for a statue if you stay sat like that.” Raphael commented evenly. With the lack of breath and her stillness, she looked like she had frozen on the spot.

Elisa flinched. She hadn’t been expecting anyone to come up to her. “Oh my G-” The girl choked on the word. Still too new to this world, she hadn’t even gotten past being able to say the name of the Creator let alone the Saints. 

“I know who you are.” She said softly, getting a good look at the Clan Leader of the Brooklyn Vamps.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

jayce-c:

Jayce raised a brow and raised the cash up to his nose, getting a good, strong scent off of it he hummed thoughtfully and stuffed the cash into his tight jean pocket “ this smells very mundane-y and you…your a Vamp girl aren’t you. Hmm I get to hear lots of things people say about Vampies but I don’t believe in gossip. I ear vamps tend to manipulate people…so did you just try to manipulate me back then?”

She took a step back and scowled. “A Vampire?” Since she didn’t have any runes on her skin, her next best thing was to pretend to be...mundane. “Like those even exist.”

[elisa-rxsewxne]

raynaxwcyfelle:

Rayna couldn’t help but chuckle at the woman’s words before shrugging, “Maybe I like the risk, maybe I’ve found this is the best time of day to find the most interesting people.” She countered, looking at the other who seemed to be in slight distress. “But I can take care of myself, I’m not worried what or who I might come across.”

“So you’re either stupid or suicidal.” Elisabete mused, shaking her head. “What are you even doing out this late?”

[jacexh]

Jayce was impulsive but he usually would remain reasonable enough to scout his surroundings before making a move on a bundle of cash that happened to be laying on the sidewalk, abandoned and oh so tempting to the young werewolf. He tells himself ‘no’ but his feet still move. Kneeling by it pretending to do his shoelaces he swipes the cash right off only to notice a pair of eyes zeroed onto him ‘fuckity fuck’ he grunts under his breath and gave the on-looker an overly sweet smile “You drop this?” he asked bluntly, holding up the bundle with a strained smile.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

She didn’t have a paying job anymore. She didn’t have a Clan to protect her. Elisa jutted out her arm. “Yeah, I did.” The new Vampire took a daring step forward.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

raynaxwcyfelle:

Rayna sat down on the bench next to the other woman, it was dark but the air was still warm, so all in all it was kind of pleasant out. “It’s a nice night, right? Peaceful.” Because there was nothing but the sound of distant traffic and nature surrounding them which was way better than teenagers causing problems. “You looked a little lonely, thought I would come and keep you company.”

“You sit next to perfect strangers in the middle of the night in New York?” Elisa swallowed hard, begging herself to stop counting the beats of the woman’s heart. “Gutsy.”

[elisa-rxsewxne]

She missed the sun. Oh how she missed the heat kissing her skin, warming her down to her bones. Elisa missed the rhythmic thumping of her heart after a long run, reminding her just how alive she was. She missed feeling satisfied after a delicious meal. God, she missed chewing. 

Seated on the park bench at night, alone and runeless, she closed her eyes. Elisa had read about Vampires. She’s studied them. She’d even staked a few. But become one? Never in her wildest nightmares. Yet here she was, ageless. Immortal. Forever frozen. Trapped.

Hoc te Perdere || Beau & Elisa

Planning had been easy, as he knew it would be. He’d gone into a den of hundreds with no planning. A den of fifty wouldn’t hurt. Especially not when he knew the two faces he was looking for. Maybe even the leader would listen to sense and hand them over. Maybe. Before the sun had really started to rise Beau was dressed and heading out of the Institute, bo staff already extended in his hands Today was going to be a good day. He could feel it in his bones. Revenge would be sweet. And he would leave Elisa behind yet again. For a moment his thoughts flickered to Eliza, to Clara, to Alec, but he shoved them away. If he thought about them now he might never leave. And he couldn’t…no, wouldn’t live anywhere near Elisa any longer.

He paused outside the derelict building, gauging how to best enter it. He wanted a quick exit but he wanted to make it clear he was going to fight if he had to. After a moment he nodded and shouldered open the door, making sure to stand in the light spilling from the door way. His stomach sank suddenly for no reason at all. Beau opted to ignore it. Too late to back out now. “Come out, come out wherever you are.” Beau sing songed, spiraling his bo staff in a threatening manner. No one emerged. “Hand over Sergei and Alexei and I’ll be on my way.”

A form stepped from the shadows under the stairs instantly putting Beau on guard. “We’ve been waiting for you Ravenscar. My brothers have put together a…fine gift for you.” Beau’s eyes narrowed and his grip tightened on his staff. Something about this felt off. It all felt off.

“What are you talking about?”

The vampire only laughed and Beau’s arm hairs stood on end. He didn’t move. He didn’t like this. But he couldn’t, wouldn’t, let them live. He took a step inside.

It all happened so fast. One second she was armed and ready, granted out numbered, and the next she was surrounded by darkness. Encapsulated by dirt and a rampant hunger that was tearing her apart, Eliza screamed. No one could hear her. Clawing her way against layer after layer of dirt and soot and rock and mud, her first breath wasn’t even gratifying. All she could think about was food. Food. NO, not food. Blood. 

A collar was clamped to her neck. Eliza whipped around and snarled, tears streaming down her face. Where was she? What happened? Why was she so filthy? Where were her runes? Another shackle of metal locked her ankles and wrists to the wall. She yanked and cried out, screaming until her throat fell raw. Those around her simply grinned.

Chest heaving, Eliza Rosewane didn’t stop thrashing until she heard the sweet, sultry sound of a heartbeat. The girl stilled. Her pupils dilated. Dry tongue coated her dirt stained chapped lips. She felt a swelling in her mouth as teeth sprang out, pricking her bottom lip. “Give it to me.” Eliza demanded. “GIVE IT TO ME.” God, she’d never been so hungry before. So desperate. 

When the door opened, an ungodly light flooded the damp room she was trapped in. Eliza instinctively hissed and backed away, chains scratching the floor.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

rapier-wit:

It took all of Jace’s willpower not to pull his weapon on her. He knew Alec would…disapprove. Low blow for a low blow? Jace wasn’t above it. “At least my family is still in one piece. Can’t say the same for yours now can you?”

“At least I have a family, orphan boy. No one’s ever truly wanted you.” Eliza spat out.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

rapier-wit:

“I do not have demon blood.”

“And how many times do you have to look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that?” She smirked. “Does it work? Denial is not a good color on you, Jace.”

Hoc te Perdere || Beau & Elisa

@elisa-rxsewxne

Beau frowned at the screen in front of him, the flickering rows of letters and numbers blurring together again. He knew that he’d never be able to keep up, computers like this ran searches at the speed of sound, but he’d sometimes be able to see a name, the flicker of a city. And every time he did his heart leaped a little. Maybe that was the name he was looking for. Maybe that was name of the vampires he’d let get away. The murderers. Just thinking about them made his blood boil, his heart race. He’d though he’d killed them all. And then Elisa had arrived and told him he hadn’t.

He hated her too.

But mostly because she refused to leave him alone. Refused to let him finish what he started. Refused to let him kill children. Like it had stopped him before. He didn’t want her to help him with this. He wanted her as far away from it. He’d taken one daughter he would not take another. And he would not taint one of them with murder like this.

The computer binged.

It was deafening in the silence that was the dojo. No one was around at this hour. The two pictures floated on the screen before him and Beau grinned, his earlier fatigue gone. Finally. Committing their faces and names to memory he deleted the search and turned to leave. He needed to plan.

Beau hadn’t expected to run into anyone on his way back to his room, least of all Elisa, but not even seeing her (the echo of who’d he’d lost) could dampen his mood. “Elisa,” He tried to bite back the gloating but failed, “Looks like I won’t be seeing you for much longer then. Just found what I’ve been looking for. I hope you find New York a suitable home without me.” Vague enough a bystander wouldn’t get it, vague enough even Elisa might miss it for a second, but every word felt like a victory to Beau. She’d hidden it from him and he’d found what he’d wanted anyways.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

“You’re in an awfully good mood.” Elisa rolled her eyes. She hadn’t seen Beau practically smile in years. Not paying too much attention to what it was he was saying initially, she waved him off. “Yeah whatever. Live your dreams Beaufort.” She continued to keep on walking. It wasn’t until Elisa was in the kitchen, nursing a cup of tea, that what Beau had said finally settled.

“Oh. Fuck.” She nearly dropped the ceramic mug onto the floor. Splashing its contents into the sink, she left the cup on the counter and made a beeline to the weapons room. There wasn’t time to think clearly; she had to suit up and beat him to the nest. That had to be what he was alluding to. There as no other reason why he’d leave New York. That was their deal, wasn’t it? Take out the nest and then he leaves again?

Stakes attached to her belt along with small breakable water bombs of holy water, her usual stars, and seraph blades, Elisa didn’t look twice when she left. The young Rosewane should have though. Then she would have known that the nest had multiplied in size since the last time she’d checked up on it. She would have known that she was severely underprepared. She would have known that this was a mistake. It wasn’t until she was already at the doorstep with fifty vampires snarling at her that she realized exactly what it was she’d done.

[elisa-rxsewxne]

adelaidecucumber:

Adelaide nodded, smiling at her. “Are they older than you?” She asked curiously, wanting to know more about the other woman. Chuckling, Addy glanced at her. “I would assume they will. They are way more confident and prepared than I am,” she admitted. 

Hearing what Elisa had to say made Adelaide a bit confused. She had to take a moment to process everything she was saying, eventually nodding as she chewed on her bottom lip. “So basically,” she paused, “basically… you can never be prepared. And you have to be confident,” she looked down in shame and nodded to herself. “What happens if we get hurt while on patrol?” Addy asked in a small voice. Her eyes went a little wide as Elisa described her most unprepared moment and she gulped quietly. “What happened? H-how did you escape?”

“Younger and older. I’m sort of sandwiched in.” She smiled. Talking to Addy was easy and calming. She didn’t feel like she had to be on her toes at all time or on the defensive which was nice. 

“Exactly. I personally find it foolish to go into any situation thinking you’re fully prepared. That’s when life takes the opportunity to swipe you off your feet and prove you wrong.” She shrugged. “You can use an iratze but if it’s bad enough then you just try to staunch the bleeding and keep fighting. That’s why it’s best to fight in pairs. Then your partner can abandon the mission and take you away or keep fighting as you heal yourself.” She explained softly, picking up on the other girl’s underlying tones of fear. “My sister came to the rescue.” Her smile was a sad. “She was younger than me so that was embarrassing but Seraphina was always above her age group in skill.”

[elisa-rxsewxne]

rapier-wit:

“Say that again.” Jace said, taking a threatening step towards her. “I know a large number of people who’d beg to differ with you on that.

All the threatening step did was make her sinister smirk grow. “Getting under your skin, am I?” She practically purred. Elisa had a penchant for pressing very sensitive buttons. 

“So hotheaded Mr. Herondale. I suppose these are also the people who would say you don’t have demon blood?”
