▓         ♔ /  ( ☔️ ) She’s following - legs are long, yes, but compared to Senior Danny Lawrence they are not long ... ENOUGH. A blush rises to cheeks through the golden dappling of sunshine through still only half - bare trees. She smiled & looked down - Darla Hood UNDER - ESTIMATING herself ? Back home - never ! But here ... ? College was a different, wider place & she suddenly a smaller, more cautious person ...  Darla readjusted her hold on the calculus books against her hip, dark eyes studying the cracks in the sidewalk -- “ I just like to be ... REALISTIC - ya know ? ” a pause & a snap of gum between nervously chewing teeth, building up the self - confidence for a little ... humor. Dark eyes dart up, watching Danny’s profile - illuminated a rusty gold in the autumn sun --- “ I’ve got three more years here ... I don’t want to break TOO MANY hearts right off the bat ... ”

           There was a chuckle & YES — just there ! can you see it ? blossoming slowly & surely, the exact color of an english rose … a blush with a soft shudder to accompany it. Fingers trail through dark curls, the lightest color caramel woven in -

“ SUNSHINE - with the occasional cloud you know … for edge, ” she smiled & - there was about as much ‘ edge ’ to her as a kitten might have, all high pony & polka dot sweater, a blouse tucked under & into a well pleated ( & ironed ! ) black skirt - her free hand found Carmilla’s with a squeeze, tugging her a little closer - a nose nuzzle, “ if you KISS me — it might distract them … ”

▓        ♔ /  👽           The case was ODD to say the least - & that was coming from someone who was nick - named ‘ SPOOKY ’ from the moment he left the academy. But this had a strangeness that stood apart from other such cases he & his partner had investigated ... this one had a trail of blood that went back a CENTURY - & those were only the files he could find.

It had taken Fox Mulder weeks to piece together the various files ; stuffed into the back of filing cabinets & wedged between other reports - some only half finished & most yellowed & brittle from age. & yet it was the NEW report that had caught his attention & stirred that photographic memory into action. Shoveling & searching through long lost archives of the FBI’s long & lost cases.

What he did know was this -- a woman was killed by what was only explained as an ANIMAL attack, but the size & ferocity of which did not - according to the experts interviewed, match any creature that might live in the area. The crime scene photos had been gory, the death painful & the local experts ... baffled. All of which combined were a perfect kind of lure to bring SPOOKY MULDER out of his basement lair ...

Which lead him here - standing at the door of a woman whose name was mentioned in the newest of the police reports --- - A PLACE TO START.

“ Ms. Bergeist ? ”

He knocked twice & then again, chewing meditatively on a lingering sunflower seed shell, wondering ( belatedly ) if he should have asked his partner to join him ... but the lead was probably nothing ... was backup needed talking to a SINGLE witness ? He was starting to doubt if the feeling in his gut had been nothing more than too many onions on his Philly cheese steak - a fluke ...

With his four knock going unanswered, Mulder stepped back from the door - surveying the house before stepping gingerly off of the porch & around a low scrub - knocking firmly on a well shuttered window -

“ ELLE BERGEIST ? Or --- anybody home ? ”

Living life on the edge, n - new wardrobe & all ... ” The predatory circling & the intensity of over lined eyes only added to the bundle of nerves in her stomach that held a strange kind of excitement & thrill - buried under the urge to vomit. 

Swallowing hard, Darla put a hand on her hip & took a step backward, turning slowly away from the pirate, attempting to keep perfectly curled locks draped over her eyes as she tried ( & failed --  ) to put out her very best # Squeaky Sulk - 

“ It a new season - Harry, just wait ... all the kids on the Isle will be wearing what I’m calling ‘ movie theater floor chic ’ & you’ll come to me begging for fashion tips ... ”

Two steps & then three ... four ... - don’t forget the slouch, the dragging of the feet, perfectly manicured hands driven deeply into jean pockets - the manufactured air of SELF - CONFIDENCE -- 

Seeing her change Darla moved a little faster, hoping he would neither notice nor follow - “ -- Uma knows ... we have an agreement & I - I’ve got ... STUFF to do so ... ” she tossed a look back over a shoulder - she just couldn’t help herself ! - adding what she hoped was a smooth, sultry smile, all white teeth & dazzle - “ Bugger off, Harry ... ! ”

The pink blush that rose to pale cheeks was only the physical manifestation of that fact - 

“ D - Do you ... OFFER something like that ? ” she smiled with a charming tilt of brown curled head, ringlets damp & tousled from the blustery evening. She shook out her scarf & stepped into the office, dark gaze bouncing around the room avoiding ( purposefully ) her favorite living artifact in the collection ... “ I’m sorry to come so late but ...

▓         ♔ /  ( ☔️ )                It was NOT easy to smuggle herself on to the Isle -- It took at least a weeks worth of pleading & promises of chemistry homework completed before she was able to get Loni to ask Jay ... who stole ASKED Ben for a quick jaunt in the magic limo ... not to mention the garbage filled gutter she had to through to emerge ( hopefully - ) unseen on to the alleyway that was their meet point. She had two hours to check on her sister before she had to be under the bridge & back on her way to Auradon Prep & that metric ton of home work & Darla was not going to waste a moment -- 

She was still half covered in sludge & candy wrappers when she heard the pseudo - Scottish tone - freezing for a moment. She wasn’t supposed to be NOTICED, let alone ... recognized. Turning around slowly, smiled, palms raised as if she was caught ... 

There was a decision to be made ... to PRETEND to be her sister, to go along with it just long enough so she could get away or to give herself up -- to CAPTAIN HOOK’S SON ! of all people ! The choice was obvious - 

“ O - Oh ... s - see I just ... I dropped something down the drain & I thought I - I could find it ... ” she laughed & then attempted ( poorly ) to turn it into something that was part cough / part growl - she was going for # Squeaky vibes ... head tilted back & arms crossed, letting a forelock fall into her eyes - hoping to distract from the lack of liner ... voice lowered slightly & feet spaced out - a look of dominace was key “ S - Stupid thing, whatever ... I’ll just STEAL another one, because I can ... because you know ... I’m so ... good at that ... stealing ... as Squeaky ... who I am ... ” She wasn’t floundering - she was DROWNING & her only hope was escape ...

“ Don’t wait up, Harry - I - I got pirate - y stuff to do ... I’ll catch you on the next ... tide ... meeting ... "
