I Don't Want To Be Here

I got on a plane at New York and now I'm stuck in some snowy place in Scotland

Jamie never saw it coming, one minute she was walking along the street making the most of the quiet before everyone else was waking up and interrupting the silence, and the next she was sprawled out on the ground lying in the snow. The air escaped her as she landed with a thud, a groan automatically falling from her lips as she could feel the cold and wet seep through her clothes. All she wanted was to a nice jog to wake herself up and set herself up for the day and now she was receiving a completely different wake up call that had her regretting ever leaving the house.

Taking the offered hand, she allowed him to help pull her up as one hand moved to rub her lower back. Jamie hadn’t even noticed who she had bumped into until she heard his joke, as much as she didn’t want to, she couldn’t keep the small smile off her face as she rolled her eyes. “Well if it isn’t Walt or should I be calling you Hans?” Her tone was teasing and light as she tried to show that there was no harm. “You in a rush somewhere?”

“Well I haven’t finished any sandwiches lately so I think we’re good to stick with Walt,” he laughed. Luckily for him she wasn’t that mad which meant that he hadn’t actually hurt her - or he hopefully hadn’t. At the question he shrugged, “I am looking for a house slash apartment to buy slash rent. I’m stuck her for the foreseeable future and I can’t live in a BnB forever,” he explained, slipping his hands into his pockets, “I also need to try and find a job because my money will, sadly, run out eventually.”

“Oh but if life were really a fairy tale and that easy.” She sighed wistfully with a smile. “We both know that if I were to do that, the outcome might not be that happy. Thawing their hearts on the other hand, I suppose. If it goes wrong, can I send them in your direction?” Jamie teased and crossed her arms over her chest with a raised brow. “So Walt, do you make it habit of watching Disney films often?” 

Justin couldn’t help but grin at the teasing. He mirrored her movement and crossed his arms across his chest. “Well, as an American I feel like it’s my duty to make watching Disney films part of my personality traits. Though there isn’t anything wrong with a good disney film. Are you... judging me?” He asked, pretending to be offended at the very thought of it.

Justin was clearly stuck here for the foreseeable future, which meant he probably should start looking for somewhere a little more permanent to live. He couldn’t live in the B&B for the rest of his life and he was sure there was somewhere he could buy in one of the neighbourhoods. He also needed to think about getting a job. 

These were the thoughts running through his head as he stepped out of the B&B and collided with a petite yet solid frame, sending them sprawling back in the snow. It all happened so fast that he wasn’t sure how to react at first but then he jumping to action, apologising profusely for what he had done whilst leaning down to help them up. It was only when they were stood up and she was brushing the snow off of herself that he realised who it was. “Well damn, I can’t believe I just knocked Anna to the ground. Does that make me the villain now?”

thistlejamie​:

“Well, no. I mean you’re right it is fairly obvious but normally I just get insulted or just general rudeness.” Her shoulders lifted in a shrug having gotten so used to how adults would react in comparison to children. Unless of course the adults were with said children and thankfully went along with the act. A laugh fell from her lips as all forms of defensiveness eased from her posture and her shoulders dropped relaxed. “That would just be awful, I could never be without my Olaf.”

“You’ve got all the snow in the world now, just throw snowballs at anyone that insults you. Or channel your inner Anna and thaw their hearts I suppose.” Justin felt himself relax as he watched her relaxed, glad that the beginning of their conversation had been a big misunderstanding. “I’m sure you have plenty of kids here who would offer to replace him in a heartbeat.” 

[justinblack]

thistlejamie​:

“Wait, you know who I am? I mean– who I’m supposed to be?” Jamie’s eyes widened in shock. Of all things, that had been the last thing she had expected to hear and wasn’t a reaction that she had received before. “Hey, I’m polite!” She argued with furrowed brows, finally realising what he said.

“Is it meant to be a mystery?” He asked, a grin forming on his face when she objected to his statement. He leaned up against the nearby post and looked her over. “I don’t really get how people could think you’re anyone other than Anna, even the snowmen are contemplating melting for you,” he finally decided, his grin growing that little bit brighter.

[thistlejamie]

“Yes, I get that I look ridiculous to you but it makes the children smile and that is what counts.” Jamie rolled her eyes as turned to face them. She was used to the judgement and weird looks when people saw her in her costume but it had never stopped her.

Justin was still getting used to his surroundings in Aramore since it had became clear that Rowan wasn’t going to be leaving without a fight. He was stuck here for the foreseeable future so he might as well make the most of it. The last thing he had expected to see was Anna stood in front of the entrance of what appeared to be a farm. “And here I was thinking Anna was more polite.”

Arthur looked a the other confused.” Well… I haven’t seen any witches or anyone practicing magic  but…” He stopped thinking it over for a moment.” If you wan’t to find someone new to town I guess the inn would be your best bet, right? Unless she has someone in town she could stay with.”

“Hmm... that’s a good idea.” He hadn’t realised that the town had a bnb. It almost seemed to old school and small to welcome outsiders but maybe that was just him being an idiot - it was most definitely him being an idiot. “Don’t suppose you could point me in that direction?”

Justin had no idea what was going on when he woke up that morning but the gaggle of people wandering towards the old square had piqued his interests and he was quickly getting dressed and making his way out of the b&b. He still hadn’t managed to convince Rowan to go home which meant that he was stuck in Aramore for the foreseeable future because staying in the snow was less painful then going home without his sister and having to deal with the wrath of their mother.

Once he got to the Town Hall, he let himself linger at the back of the crowd, eyes scanning the people around him as he waited for some sort of clue about what was going on. Names were being read out and people were wandering off in pairs and he was still just as lost as he had been when he had first saw everyone moving towards the Hall that morning. Except then his name was being read out along with the name Theodore McMorgan. Who the hell was Theodore McMorgan? Justin hung around after everyone started to move away and hoped that this Theodore would find him on his own. He still had no idea what was going on but all of a sudden there was a kid stood in front of him and that was that. “I take it you’re Theo?”

From the moment Rowan had arrived in town, she’d felt the magic in the air. It confirmed all of her beliefs about Mother Nairna - she was real, she existed, and Rowan was sure that she’d reveal herself to her eventually. All she had to do was wait. That’s why she’d spent almost every waking minute in the woods. Walking the trails and off the beaten path, basically exploring every avenue that she could find. 

Today was no different. After breakfast with her new housemate, Rowan had once again wrapped up warm and headed to the forest. Even before coming to Aramore, she’d loved drawing and it was coming in especially useful now as a way to pass her time and document the forest surrounding her. She was so caught up in her newest sketch of some bright purple flowers bursting from the undergrowth that she almost missed the sounds of someone approaching her. “Oh hello,” she greeted, glancing up at the last second. 

[justinblack]

“Really? That’s the hello I get after being forced to travel to another country just to bring you home?” After checking out a few books at the library and talking to some of the locals, it was pretty clear that the forest was the place to be if you were interested in witches. It was no shock when he found his sister sat beneath the trees sketching away. “What the hell, Rowan? Like... what the hell?”

Her day had started off like most other days usually did - she’d woken up, gone to the shop and worked the day, and she was just on her way home, deliberating what fun she would get up to that evening, when she heard someone calling out to her. She turned, spotting the man waving a hand and distinctly noting that this guy was not from around here. In fact, he sounded American. What was an American doing in Aramore? “Hi, can I help?” She asked, walking up to the man. Part of her almost wanted to laugh at his question, and she was about to point out that very funny, but he was the only American in Aramore when he explained further. “No, sorry,” she apologised. “I don’t think I’ve seen her.” 

Justin was thankful that she wasn’t saying a lot because if she said more than those few words he would have been completely lost. Her accent was thick and it almost completely went over his head but he managed to catch on pretty quickly. Her answer, in the end, brought disappointment. “God damn it,” he grumbled, “What about anyone new in town? She’d have only been here like a week?”

arthurdstein​:

Arthur stared at the other for a moment.” I-I’m sorry did you say witch stuff? Like… from the movies.” He’d only been in Aramore  for a few months so his knowing of the history of the town was very little.” I think I’m a bit lost.”

"Yeah witch stuff. Mother Nairna and all that jazz,” he did a little gesture with his hands before rolling his eyes and dropping them back to his side. “My sister, she’s a little cooky, a bit weird, and clearly American. She ran off and I’ve been sent to find her to make sure she’s not... well... being an idiot and to take her home.”

[justinblack]

arthurdstein​:

Arthur raised an eyebrow when he heard the other call out, Art was hopping to get home and just get cozy for the rest of the day but it seemed his plans would have to wait.” An American?” He repeated before shaking his head.” No, I haven’t but I usually don’t pay attention to people walking around.” He hummed.” I take it that you are looking for someone?”

“Yeah my sister,” he mumbled, slipping his phone into his back pocket as he finally took in the person that he had stopped. He paused for a moment, trying to think of the best way to phrase his question without sounding like a complete ass. “Uh... if you were a bit weird and believed in all this witch stuff where would you go?”

[justinblack]

Living in New York all of his life definitely helped when it came to dealing with the cold of Aramore. He just couldn’t believe he had willingly dropped everything and rushed to the middle of nowhere in the hunt for his sister. Or he could believe it after the endless nagging from his mother, who was still endlessly nagging him as he fought his way through the snow. His nose was buried in his phone as he replied to the messages that seemed to be coming through every second. He lifted his head just in time to see someone walking past and quickly moved towards them. “Hey! Excuse me!” He waved a hand to get their attention, “Don’t suppose you’ve seen an American wandering around here recently? I’m looking for my sister. I was told she was in town.”
