My name is Tallulah

Tallulah Waverly. 23 years old. Small town girl from Redwater Bay. Nurse and healer. I love lipstick, shoes and pretty antique stuff. I'm dangerous with just a glass of water...

Will nodded when she did what he knew she could. She was a witch. She was like him. With a little work… surely she was as powerful as him? He knew she had to learn these things. She had to learn to look after herself. Or it wouldn’t be long until people took advantage of that trust. “See. You can do it. You can control it… just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s scary. In fact it can mean it’s exciting.”

“You knew I could do that, didn’t you?” she smiled lightly, looking down at the lit cigarette between her fingers. “I mean, part of me is intrigued. I want to know more, of course I do. It’s a part of me.”

[nursextallulah]

willgrumond‌:

He pulled his own cigarette to his lips, patiently waiting for her to light up her own. “Why would it be dangerous? It’s part of you… why would you hurt yourself with it? You have to have some self belief.”

The blonde knew how the feeling with water worked. The way she felt it, focused on it... imagined the cool liquid. She knew it had to work the same way with fire. She took a deep breath, focusing on the cigarette. She pictured the flame growing in her minded, willed it almost. “Shit...” she gave a little giggle as she felt the red light. “I did it. Like that? Belief like that. I don’t know, it’s all new.”

He rolled his eyes, grinning at her obvious flirting again. But reluctant to give back, not with everything going on. One of them had to die. He wasn’t going to get attached. “Your parents left you a grimoire and you haven’t… tried anything in it?”

She half laughed, rolling her eyes when he grinned. She really couldn’t figure him out. “I’m just trying to make sense of it all... and well doing magic on my own seems dangerous.”

[nursextallulah]

willgrumond‌:

“This is just my face.” He raised a brow, finally reaching forward and pulling her hand towards the cigarette. “Who said you can only control water? You have an affinity for water… but magic is within you.”

“It’s not always a bad face,” she mumbled, though her eyes glanced up when he grabbed her hand. “I... I don’t know. I’ve just... it’s been a learn as I go process. I can do more? I did think so. My birth parents left me this really old book.”

[nursextallulah]

willgrumond‌:

He smiled, stubbornly putting his hands in his pockets. “You don’t need one. You’re a witch. It was a joke blondie.”

“Don’t smile like that,” she rolled her eyes. “What? Like it with water?” She half laughed. “Ha ha.”

[nursextallulah]

willgrumond‌:

He raised his usual disapproving brow “You can drown things on dry land, of course you aren’t. You’re a smart girl too. You know how to. Don’t give me that.” He held it out. Not biting at her flirtations. 

“You’re no fun,” she mumbled, taking it from him. “Light?” She sighed. “I haven’t drowned anyone...”

[nursextallulah]

celestialsmith‌:

“I think so yeah.” She nodded, not prepared to give away someone else’s story. She tilted her head, trying to imagine what it’d be like if her parents didn’t know. “I guess… if you really want to. You have to try. Although normal people don’t always react the best to it. It frightens them.”

“I guess... with powers. There’s always a chance something could go wrong,” she nodded. “I know... it frightened me and first. They’re good people. I can’t do it to them.”

[nursextallulah]

willgrumond‌:

He held one out again “Because our lives could be short… why not try everything? Does it frighten you?”

The blonde sighed, her bright eyes staring at it. “I am not scared...” She half laughed. “Okay, fine. Tell me how to do it.”

[nursextallulah]

willgrumond‌:

“Because right now all this shit is going down, worrying about smoking is the least of our worries. It doesn’t matter what I think. I’m no killer…But i guess we can hope that one of us will snuff it.” 

“I’m not thinking about just now, there’s like... I never have. So why would I now?” She looked at him. “You paused when you said that.”

[nursextallulah]

celestialsmith‌:

She nodded “That’s a battle i’ve yet to win… Garth was hurt by all this.” She sighed, she hated seeing the dark in magic. But she couldn’t ignore that it was there. “But i’ll get him on side… i got Gray on side and he hasn’t been himself since his powers emerged. I guess… not many of us have been.” She pulled a smile onto her face. “But we’ll be fine. I believe in magic… i believe we’ll make this work for us all.”

“Like... really bad stuff?” she asked, worrying about the boy. “I believe in you. I really do trust you. I want you to know that,” she nodded. “Yeah, I guess, it is... hard. I’ve kept it from my parents. How can I tell them... like yeah my biological parents gave me this?” She smiled a little. “I believe in it too though. I have to. It’s a part of us and I believe it means something.”

“That is certainly true. And being an old man, I suppose all I’m good for is just dolling out unwanted advice.” Damien joked, but was serious when he told her, “It’s a good trait when you can give such warmth out into the world. Just leave enough for yourself, is all.” 

Suddenly Damien shut his eyes, with a soft sound of pain at the migraine forming again. He pulled out the recently prescribed pills for it, his reason for being in the hospital in the first place. “Where is the nearest water, please, my dear.”

“No, I would never say that. I respect my elders. I appreciate what you said,” she gave a small smile. “Thank you, I know. I guess I do have a habit of thinking about other people more than myself but I do really like my job.”

Tallulah stepped forward, her brow’s furrowing slightly. “There’s a tap in the staff room just over there. Let me, sir.” She moved, filling a glass and returning to him. “Are you okay?”

[nursextallulah]

celestialsmith‌:

“Then you are where you’re meant to be. You’re not alone you have us. I’m your friend and well Gray has to be your friend. I practically own his ass.” She grinned.

“I know it sounds really lame, but I believe that,” she laughed gently. “I feel like I belong here. I’m glad we’re friends and I will happily take your boyfriend as a friend too,” she nudged her. “And Garth is sweet, even if he seems slightly unsure about all of this.”

“Yeah, Cel had mentioned it and now it makes sense why when I first me you. When I met all of you. It’s like I knew even before I knew.” He made a face, scrunching it up. “Ahhh,  I don’t think that makes sense. But I guess Cel is right. There’s something bigger happening here.” Garth seemed a little troubled about it, even if he was now closer to being on Cel’s side than before.

“Oh damn, really? Like a witch’s scrap book?” He asked.

“I know, it’s like this feeling. Like... I can almost feel your energy. I think I knew something, I felt drawn to you. It’s a weird feeling, huh?” she rambled, her tone light. “No, no. It did. Like... we all have a connection. Even if we’re not sure why yet. I trust Cel, I do believe she knows what she’s talking about.” She gave him a gentle smile, almost wanting to reassure him. 

“Like yeah... yeah. Literally. It’s so old. Notes, scribbles, all these words and images my bloodline has recorded. It’s crazy.”

[nursextallulah]

celestialsmith‌:

She nodded, watching the blonde carefully. She just hoped that it’d all turn out alright for the younger girl. She deserved that. “You know me, you know Gray. Hell, you’ve been to a whole party of people like you. You’ve done well.”

Tallulah smiled gently, sitting down beside her friend. She really looked up to her, she hoped Cel knew that. “I do. I feel better than I ever have... about all of this stuff. I just... it’s nice not feeling so alone. Thank you.”

[nursextallulah]

celestialsmith‌:

“I like that. I never have but you do you do.” She nodded, letting the blonde be as optimistic as she wanted to be. It meant life hadn’t dragged her down yet. “You have me. I’m not much but… i’m here.”

“I do, it’s just me,” she smiled lightly. Even after everything, she’d held onto that part of herself. “No, it means a lot to me. I know… I can be full on. I just, it’s nice. Knowing someone like me.”

[nursextallulah]

celestialsmith‌:

“You’re a determinist then?” She raised a brow. She made it clear how she felt about fate. She made her own fate. No one else. “Sort of… magic was involved but basically. Yes. That makes sense… and I like that thinking. We need eachother.”

“Like maybe. Kind of. I like... I like to believe in something. Like nice things happening. One thing causes another. I don’t know,” she rambled with a little laugh. “My adoptive parents, they don’t know about the magic. I need people. I need this circle.”

“That is a very admirable sentiment, and while my advice isn’t meant to dissuade you of it, this is the quickest way to ruin. You can’t keep up the strength when you’re already pushing yourself so hard. I should know I…” He paused, with a soft smile realizing his interest might have been fatherly in nature, the woman reminding him of his young daughter. “Forgive me, it probably isn’t my place to say anything.”

“It’s just who I am,” she nodding, pulling her blonde hair back from her face. “It’s easier to give advice then to follow it, right?” she smiled slightly. “Thank you for being so nice though. No, it’s nice to care about people. It’s why I do my job.”
