After the whole situation with Katerina, everything seemed to simmer down. Logan listened to Faye’s request of dodging the girl and not letting her effect how she was. It wasn’t completely hard, but it was somewhat terrifying when she had to turn corners because Katerina could pop up out of nowhere and Logan really didn’t want to relive what had happen. She was extremely thankful for Faye, she was wonderful to her. The blonde even slept with her because of how insecure she was after the whole incident. Logan knew that the girl was usually cold to others, but to her Faye was different - she was extremely sweet and caring, even if it was in a different way. Logan knew she meant well. 

Logan was somewhat surprised that Faye wanted to hang out with her after everything, she was sure that the blonde didn’t want to do anything with her - she did get hurt because of her. But, either way she was glad that she was able to see the girl once again. The younger girl grabbed one of her black beanies and placed it on her head before she headed down to the lobby to meet Faye. A small appeared on Logan’s face when she saw the taller girl leaning against a column. She walked over, trying to be sneaky before she tapped on the girl’s shoulder and grinned. “Well hey, stranger.”

[gayethompson]

Faye furrowed her eyebrows as she scrolled through the results. Most of the things that she was skimming past were just touristy things that she had no interest in whatsoever. She was coming up empty handed but kept looking through the results anyway to see if anything would pop out to her. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder and jumped slightly, quickly turning her head to find that it was Logan who had touched her. She gave her a small smile. "Hey." She replied and pocketed her phone, pushing off the column. "Ready to go?" She asked, tilting her head towards the hotel entrance.

She walked with Logan towards the doors, holding one of the doors open for her and waiting for her to walk through before following her out, then walking alongside her as they started to walk through the streets of London. "So how have you been lately?" She asked, glancing at Logan before turning her attention back to the street so she didn't bump into anyone or get in anybody's way.

Surprise, bitch. Bet you thought you’d seen the last of me. || Faye & Katerina

[halfbloodhavenrp-blog]

A low sound mixed between a gasp and a growl rose from Katerina’s throat as Faye’s hand lashed out, leaving behind a sharp burst of pain. Whether it was from adrenaline or stubbornness to give into it, the pain quickly became bearable and easy to ignore. Later, once whatever it was spurring her on now wore off, she would truly feel the soreness of it.

"You’re f—” Whatever the brunette had planned to snarl was lost in a gasp, not expecting to be heaved downwards. Gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to endure it. Even when her already-tender elbow hit the floor, triggering an array of unpleasant sensations up her arm, Katerina maintained a stormy expression. From the curl to her upper lip, to the fierce glare in her eyes; she no longer concealed her anger behind a mask of false calm.

Keeping a close eye on the blonde, Katerina quickly rose to her feet. She had expected retaliation, but that didn’t make it any less uncomfortable. Sure, she may have felt a little taken aback and impressed by the other’s resilience, but she would never confess that. Now that there was more space between them she felt grateful not to have all her senses clouded by the other girl. But, violence-wise it was a little far to get in a swing and not have it blocked.

At Faye’s suggestion, Katerina laughed. Surrendering now would make all of her past protesting good for nothing. It would turn the bruises she had earned into symbols of defeat. ”I think a little damage would be an improvement, for you.” She murmured. It was a cheap dig, but one she still felt obliged to make. “No. I can’t give it up, not now. You and me… I think we’re similar.” She swallowed back the urge to gag at categorizing herself along with Faye, but she couldn’t deny the resemblance she had noticed between their vicious characteristics. “So you of all people have to understand why I can’t walk away from this, or let you either.”

[gayethompson]

Faye raised an eyebrow at Katerina’s change in expression, seeing that she was no longer putting on a poker face. She watched her as she got back up from the ground and crossed her arms in front of her chest as she started to speak. She rolled her eyes at the comment about causing damage. It was stupid and childish to her, since she knew Katerina was already bruised from their previous confrontation. Her teeth grit when Katerina mentioned them being similar. As much as she was starting to despise the other girl and wanted to think that they were nothing alike, she knew what she meant. In some ways, they were similar. And she hated the thought of that. They might be similar, but she would never stoop so low to picking on helpless girls and targeting them because of how easy they were to pick on. She wouldn’t get pleasure from that. She’d never be a bully.

She let out a long breath after a moment of silence, tilting her head to the side. “I suppose you’re right. We are similar. And I do understand. But then what happens? We fight until the death? That might a little bit extreme, don’t you think?” She asked, raising her eyebrow again. Although she wouldn’t mind giving Katerina a proper beating, she doubted the girl would learn her lesson even then. They’d probably get into some sort of trouble as well. But she knew Katerina was right, both of them were far too stubborn to walk away from this or give up. They were both going to stand their ground and it was a very real possibility that one of them might seriously get hurt unless they came to some sort of compromise, which she seriously doubted they would since they had already gotten this far into… whatever the hell this was.

Ever since she stayed over the night at Logan's room, thoughts of the girl would creep back into her mind. She wasn't sure why, but didn't think too much of it. She wasn't sure of many of the things she did when it came to Logan, like standing up for her the way she did to Katerina, letting her 'take care' of her afterwards, then walking her back to her room and staying the night after that. Either way, she found herself missing her company, despite it only having been a couple of days since they last spent time together. She was particularly bored tonight though, so she decided to do something about it and send Logan a text.

After she agreed to hang out with her, she grabbed her jacket and made her way down to the lobby, thinking about what they could do. Once she reached the lobby, she scanned the area to see if Logan had gotten there yet and when she didn't seem to find the girl, she leaned against a column and did a quick google search of things to do in London while she waited for the younger girl's arrival.

Logan: Yeah sure! I'm totally down:)

[gayethompson]

Text || Logan

Logan: I kinda figured it'd be with you, but yeah. What's on your mind?

Faye: Didn't really think about that. How about we walk around and figure something out?

[gayethompson]

Text || Logan

Logan: No, what's up?

Faye: Just wondering if you wanted to do something. With me.

Text || Logan

Faye: Hey, you.

[divaxarcher-deactivated20140124]

Let’s hope no one does anything to keep us here.

[gayethompson]

I doubt they'd be allowed to do that.

[divaxarcher-deactivated20140124]

I’m sure we’ll go somewhere new in no time. 

[gayethompson]

Let's hope so.

[seasclty]

And then there will be a completely new set of pretty girls.

It’s nice to meet you Faye. 

[gayethompson]

That's what I'm counting on.

You as well, Rosemary.

[seasclty]

Well, we’ll be out of here soon enough.

I don’t think I ever caught your name, I’m Rosemary.

[gayethompson]

I'm sure we will.

Nope. I'm Faye.

[seasclty]

I didn’t think I’d hear that from someone so quickly.

[gayethompson]

I didn't think I'd be the one to say it.

[divaxarcher-deactivated20140124]

I’m sure we’ll be away from them in no time. They couldn’t be all boring?

[gayethompson]

Probably. And it's not them personally, I just need a change of scenery.

[wintersaurora-deactivated201404]

Yeah…southern accent, nothing like a british one. Nice to meet you Faye. 

[gayethompson]

Not quite. I find southern accents quite charming, though. Perhaps I'll keep you around.

Surprise, bitch. Bet you thought you’d seen the last of me. || Faye & Katerina

[halfbloodhavenrp-blog]

A small wheeze of air left Katerina’s mouth as her back roughly made contact with the wall behind her, leaving her practically cornered by the other girl. Her concern to maintain balanced had temporarily outweighed her concern to defend herself, and that instant was enough for the other girl to gain leverage. Resisting the urge to wince, Katerina tightly clenched her teeth together.

Even she could admit that being held against a wall in such a fashion made her slim options of action narrow to even slimmer ones. Fuck. She couldn’t help but at curse her own idiocy. This was not a position she wanted to be in, especially with Faye. To say she was at a disadvantage in comparison to her was understatement. Breathing deeply through her nose in an attempt to try and recollect herself, Katerina forced her resolve to stay intact. She was too far ahead to simply quit now, her pride was too inflated and precious for that.

With a scowl of complete hatred, Katerina took a few seconds mulling over a response. Her heartbeat thrummed against her ribcage, her eardrums and pressure points pulsing with the same erratic rhythm. She knew what she needed to do.

"Fine." It comes out so quietly, barely a croak, that she has to clear her throat and repeat it, "Fine. I’ll leave your little girl— I mean, Logan alone… I don’t think I’m that interested anyway." It was partly true. Once, this had been about Logan. But sometime leading up to being unwillingly cornered, Katerina’s objective had shifted onto something more exhilarating. Why linger on the meek appetizer when there was a main course that needed to be ripped into? "To be honest," She hissed, "now I have other plans." As she said it, she reached up and over to delve a hand into the roots of Faye’s hair. Gripping hard, she yanked.

[gayethompson]

Faye raised her eyebrows at Katerina’s response to her words. Although she seemed to be giving up whatever focus she had on Logan, she still didn’t fully trust the girl, nor was she going to just take her word for it. She kept her guard up and continued to watch the girl. Before she could fully process what was happening, Katerina had grabbed a handful of her hair and yanked at it. She took in a sharp breath from the pain. “Jesus fucking christ,” she muttered under her breath and ducked out of Katerina’s grasp.

She knew she had to act quickly and if Katerina wanted to fight dirty, so be it. Lunging forward, she shoved Katerina back in the wall again before bringing her hand up and slapping Katerina across the face. She grabbed her shoulders and shoved her down to the ground, glaring down at her. “Had enough yet?” She asked coldly.

Some small part of her was impressed that Katerina hadn’t backed down. Mostly she was just annoyed, irritated and infuriated, but the fact that she was holding her ground was actually quite impressive. “You really should just give it up, before one of us gets seriously hurt.” She said, although she really wouldn’t mind actually causing some damage to the other girl. Both of them were stubborn, that much she had figured out- and she really doubted Katerina was going to give up quite yet, but they both signed up for a trip they planned to enjoy. Albeit she knew there was going to be complications, she didn’t think they’d reveal themselves this soon or be quite as drastic as this.

[divaxarcher-deactivated20140124]

Are they really that bad?

[gayethompson]

No, most of them are quite lovely. But I'm getting bored.
