❛ I got a flat. ❜ ❛ Well, it’s not like I gave you a choice. ❜ ❛ It’s not over yet. I’ll get back to you. ❜ ❛ You know, I’m not feeling all that delicate now so, I think I’m gonna go. ❜ ❛ Thanks for saving me. ❜ ❛ He’s sweet. And from where I sit, it’s a good thing. ❜ ❛ Do you know how my car caught on fire? ❜ ❛ This town is a friggin’ side show. I mean, look. Never mind. It’s not your problem. I just, I need to find my grandmother. ❜ ❛ Where are we going? ❜ ❛ What is this place? ❜ ❛ Somebody tell me what’s going on. ❜ ❛ This is beyond crazy. ❜ ❛ You are seriously messed up. ❜ ❛ Yes, it is. This is insane. All of you are insane. ❜ ❛ Are you doing this? ❜ ❛ Yeah, you keep saying that, but I don’t understand. What does that mean? ❜ ❛ No. I can’t deal with any more of this now. ❜ ❛ Yeah. I just- I want to get out of these clothes. ❜ ❛ I don’t know you. I don’t wanna know you. So you need to leave me alone, understand? ❜ ❛ It’s like I’m living in a Harry Potter movie. ❜ ❛ I’ve been called worse. ❜ ❛ Sometimes when we’re together, street lights explode. ❜ ❛ My family’s book of shadows. ❜ ❛ You’re going to help me? ❜ ❛ And you are a bitchy, spoiled little girl who wants to blame me for all of your problems instead of just looking in the mirror. ❜ ❛ You tried to steal my power.  ❜ ❛ I’ve tried to do small spells since but nothing works. ❜ ❛ You look so familiar, have we met before? ❜ ❛ I don’t know where to start. An entire childhood and adolescence of questions. ❜ ❛ I have dark magic up to my eyeballs, thanks to you, and I haven’t changed. ❜ ❛ Using dark magic is getting too easy. ❜ ❛ I remember every moment we spent together. But like it was in a movie. Someone else’s amazing movie. ❜ ❛ Please stay, bound or not, you are my sister. You are the only family I have left. ❜ ❛ I know it’s not right but it felt really good. ❜ ❛ I didn’t have a huge social life at my old school. Or a small one. Or any one at all. ❜ ❛ You just can’t stop being a bitch, can you? ❜ ❛ Whatever you did is not affecting me it’s hurting the rest of the circle. ❜ ❛ We bound that circle with no clue what we were doing. ❜

to be fair the warlock is almost completely unaware that it is in fact eight in the morning. he had been working for so long that time had all melded together, so the fact that there was a drink in his hand was meaningless at this point. the buzz that sounded through the loft barely registered as he flicked his hand to unlock both doors. which could be fairly detrimental if he weren’t who he was.    | @papcrcuts

[papcrcuts-blog]

         fingers stuttered uneasily. lingering along the buzzer. smoothing over it, tracing around it -- but NEVER pressing it.  hesitation. like a tight rope stretched between brooklyn and the institute. allegiances wavering. always following the black and white, keeping within the lines.  but here he was ; breath hitching, begging to pull out some sort of courage. bravery was easier in repetition, not so much FEELING.   ( it all just kept echoing. back and forth. the anxiety of the outcomes. volleying.  -  )  he worried so much about the negation, that he regretted the sudden slip of forward thinking press into the buzzer. swallowed in sudden panic. eyes widened. he nearly whispered a prayer.  please, don’t answer. please don’t answer. 

         CREAK.  guess there was no turning back now. footsteps maybe a little too eager. fingers stuffed so deep in his pockets they might as well have disappeared. eyes glued to the floor. as if it would pull attention from that aggressive HAMMERING.   an audible flutter,  “ uh... ”  ( unable to help catching his shadow, following the trail. )  forcing lips together to falsify composure.   “ magnus ?? ”  hanging on the question, as if he didn’t necessarily want it to SLIP away.           this was a bad idea.      ( who was he kidding ??  it couldn’t possibly be YES. )

       there never seemed to be enough R O O M. all just continuing to fall out from the cracks. dripping out along trembling fingertips. the only ( visible ) hinderance in CALCULATED stiffness. rolled shoulders squaring off with the bag. pulling digits into one another, battling his own INDECISION. the reality that everything came to its BREAK. threatening to unravel the very line that kept his person together. that familiar AGONIZING pull towards what felt RIGHT ; waging war against what was.  ---  honor, keeping it all afloat. following along that thick border line of what was law and what had to be UPHELD. for the sake of the institute, his parents... a name that NEEDED to be refurbished - when you wore the CROWN, you carried its weight too.  staggering, bruising.   until the pressure collapsed and ( finally ) SNAPPED your neck. 

       forcing perfect form. recoiling. dodging that unsteady weight. playing his balance - hanging on that one phrase.  his family was his heart. it was what they wanted, it was what they NEEDED. all in the name of duty. following to wrong their ( past ) mistakes. reconcile their sins to the eyes of the clave. to PROTECT them. it had always been enough. the one thing he’d always held entirely certain. ---  wavering. suddenly so uneasy, so WRONG. but any other way  ---  he’d have disappointed them. continuing to smear fingerprints along their crest. tarnishing, deforming.   this was the ONLY way.  ( a life sentence. )    rolling out one crisp swing, pressing flesh to waning canvas.  fingers loosing grip, like the wind had just been knocked from his lungs. falling apart. flaring nostrils to catch as fingers challenged canvas as it swung back.  funny, how the inanimate was so steadfast, as the nephilim found himself sinking.  falling behind the shadow of a blank facade.   duty. vigilance.    emotion was nothing but distraction.   a dilapidating distraction.  ( slowly making that crown heavier. CRUSHING him --- from the inside, OUT. )
