Teagan Myrick

I can't get much stronger.

[wheretheocenbleeds]

“No, but do this first and I’ll tell you what I need you to do to me.” Louisa made sure the word choice was noticeable. The enchanting fae knew what she was doing making that request of Louisa. Having their lips so close they were practically touching.

She was half tempted to claim those lips of Teagan with her own, to nip at her bottom lip and use her teeth that way. But her neck looked far more appealing to Louisa fang. She prepared the skin she was about to bite with her kiss. Feeling the heart beat of the other calling to her like a drum. She couldn’t resist this. It wasn’t just drinking Teagan blood but almost claiming her in front of the man that was about to be killed. That she couldn’t resist have want he couldn’t. The ecstasy of the blood traveled down her throat Louisa hummed against the other neck.

[petaledarmour]

Teagan didn't need any more incentive. She slowly pierced the man's chest with the root, hearing flesh tear and a bone crack. A delighted giggle escaped her, then she gasped at the familiar sensation of fangs sinking into her, tangling her hand into Louisa's hair to help her mouth press more firmly. Her breath became shaky, and just as she felt herself begin to feel lightheaded, Teagan pulled herself away and turned on her heel to crash into Louisa with a bruising kiss.

Blood smeared across both their lips, and the fae was always so surprised by how much her own blood turned her on. Because of course Louisa wasn't the first conquest to drink from Teagan. She wasn't the first to even draw blood. And she certainly wouldn't be the last. "Good girl." Teagan shot Louisa's own words back with a bloody smile. "Is the business part done yet?"

[dawnlings]

         Allie squeezes her hand right back, naturally, only letting go when Teagan seems comfortable.  “ Do you like it, like, actually? Or is it kinda’ just for tradition, or something? ”  Refreshing. She wonders if Teagan finds herself better suited to warmth, or the cold. Allie’s always known her own answer, and it’s the same reason that she wilts for the winter, and blossoms newly in the spring.

         She giggles, Teagan’s nose looks too cute tipped back to meet her. Allie taps the tip of it with her finger, gentle and affectionate.  “ Oh, I was just … hanging, I think. ”  She says, distractedly, before blinking away whatever fog had been covering her eyes in cotton-candy clouds.  “ Well, it was my sister’s birthday! It still is, but, you know, birthday mornings are, like, a huge deal to me. I got up with her ‘cause she went to the dip, so I could stay home for breakfast at the Thistle- Wandering Thistle, the B&B. Tonight, we’ll do swapsies so I can stay out late. ”  

         Teagan’s nurse is still not satisfied.  “ If your leg’s still in a ton of pain in a bit, tell me, okay? I can- I want to take another look, if it’s bugging you. ”

[petaledarmour]

"I just wanted to try it, but I ended up enjoying it." Before everything with the hunter, of course. "Wasn't sure I'd like the cold water. I'm more of a sunbather. Even with that bloody toop gettin' me tampin' though, it wasn't a waste of a morning." Teagan just hoped she wouldn't have to see the man again until she was healed up. She would be more prepared going forward.

"Ah! How many years? I'll have to send you off with some flowers to give to her for me." She grinned, already planning the assortment she'd want to make. Something with yellow for sure. Because birthdays were supposed to be happy, and yellow fit the bill.

"You'll have to tell her thank you, too. I'm glad we get to spend the day together--oh, don't worry about my leg, anwyll." Teagan reached behind her to pat Allie's hand reassuringly. "What do you want to see first? If we go to the market, we can get snacks."

The word suppose caught Louisa attention. Could there be a game to be had there? See who would brake first? It was a notion that she was interested in but wasn’t sure of Teagan liked that game.

She would give Teagan credit where it was due, that if Louisa wanted to manipulate her she couldn’t be so obvious about it. It seem as though it would take more to pull the wool over her eyes. “I like giving out rewards for good behaviour.” Well what Louisa deemed beneficial to her and not actually good.

What did she want? Well that was a loaded question. Louisa lead her closer to the man caged by the tree roots. She moved round Teagan like she was the others shadow, standing a behind the fae Louisa lips brushed against the others ear “stab him in the heart for me.” A hand snaked to Teagan abdomen and pulled her back into Louisa prohibiting space.

[petaledarmour]

A small breath hitched in Teagan’s throat as her body became flush with Louisa's and cold lips brushed her ear. She could stab someone just fine. Did so without being asked by a beautiful woman. But being asked was quite the thrill.

"Is that all?" Teagan craned her neck to look at Louisa, hand raising to plant on her cheek. With a smile, she extended a root holding the vampire, winding it until the point hovered just above his chest. "Ask me again." She nuzzled their noses, barely brushing Louisa's lips with hers. "But this time, with your teeth."

"I don't mix business and pleasure." it one of the few rules she had for herself, how she tried to avoid messes. "I want to be focused when I'm doing either, so I can't be doing both." and Teagan had been distracting.

"I didn't plan for a confrontation, I have no where to store him till he dries out. I can't afford him running back to underground. " if she got Teagan to stake him it would be her finger prints on the wood and not hers if they didn't dispose of it properly. A girl had to have assurances.

"Oh the things id do to the woman who unburden me of this plight." her words heavy with promise, her eyes dreamy as if imagining all the things shed do to Teagan give half the chance. If this as a bar she was sure they would have escalated quicker but it wasn't Louisa was trying to manipulate the other to do her dirty work with a promise of intimacy.

[petaledarmour]

"So professional." Teagan teased with a silly voice and an even sillier face. She could appreciate professionalism, but she appreciated Louisa's playful honesty more. "But fine. I suppose I can be patient."

Listening to Louisa, Teagan quirked a brow, curious and seeing right through what she was doing. This was a game of cat and cat, both of them trying to make the other a mouse. Teagan smirked, "Ah, you want me to do something for a reward?" Louisa's eyes were dripping with want, so Teagan believed she still had the upperhand. She could essentially turn the game on Louisa and allow both of them to have fun.

"What do you want, then? Teagan felt her strength returning, and with it, she brought a branch closer to her and drew it to a point. "Just say the word."

[dawnlings]

         Allie nods,  “ I saw ‘em on my way in. There’s, like, a cute little emergency tent … Hey, wait- ”  She furrows her brow, narrowing her gaze on the older fae.  “ This is an emergency, you were supposed to go there. ”  Oh, well. They’d made a little emergency tent of their own, though Allie’s not sure if it’s a good thing that Teagan’s well and used to swaying to her whims, or if the pain is what makes her want to be off her feet a while. Either way … wheelchair, for now.

         You have to make sure to spin me at least once. Duh!

         It takes her a moment as she scurries off to go find it, retracing her steps with a promise that she’d only be a minute. Though, Allie’s a fairy- how’s she supposed to know what to do with time? She’s only ever known how to get lost in it. For Teagan, she manages to turn around just fast enough.

         “ Ta-da! Your chariot awaits. ”  Allie holds out a hand for her to take, giggling.  “ Did you have fun at the dip, otherwise? We gotta’ find a sunny side, somehow. ”

[petaledarmour]

While Allie was gone, Teagan tested her weight on her leg. She swallowed the scream, her throat rattling with a distressed growl. After some focused breathing, and sitting down carefully the pain settled, allowing Teagan to breathe more peacefully. She was almost back to normal by the time Allie returned.

"Ah yes, my chariot!" She giggled, shuffling her way into the seat and giving Allie's hand a grateful squeeze before situating her self properly. "The dip was quite refreshing, yeah." She nodded idly, organizing her things on her lap. "Woke me right up, it did. And you?" Teagan craned her neck to look over at Allie. "What were you up to before becoming my nurse?"

[wheretheocenbleeds]

Teagan didn’t need to say more then murder for Louisa to know to stop prying. She didn’t need a play by play of what they did because her imagination couldn’t come close to probably what they actually did.

It was Louisa turn for her mind to go blank, to stutter because this far knew what she was doing. And Louisa wasn’t innocent she had been heavily suggestive herself but she wasn’t so used to the tables being turned on her. She wasn’t normally the one who got to enjoy the reaction not experience it. “Fuck…” she was making it difficult to stay even remotely professional.

Letting out a hefty sigh “yeah, I have to.” She was dejected until an idea came to mind. Her fingernail tracings a figure of eight lower on Tegan’s thigh “you could help me? Have you staked a vampire before?” It felt like such an odd question to ask, what if she said she had? Not that of she didn’t it meant Louisa was a target but the fact that this woman was a wallflower was far to alluring. Louisa offered Teagan her hand as she stood and extension of her offer to have her help.

[petaledarmour]

It was no surprise to Teagan that her advances worked. She smiled coyly, scrunching her nose playfully with an amused and victorious chuckle. "Naughty word." The fae teased, hand running up the length of Louisa's arm as she traced patterns. Her head was still swimming slightly and her body was buzzing with an airy weightlessness, but she was confident she was still capable of whatever Louisa was asking.

"Can't say that I've really needed to or have wanted to, but I assume it's like stabbing a person?" Now that was something Teagan had a talent for. She'd lost count on how many people she'd killed in the fifteen years she's been on her path of revenge. Practice made perfect after all. Not that killing required much perfection, really.

Standing with Louisa, Teagan quirked a brow, crossing her arms. "Is he really so useless that you just gotta kill him this instant?" Then, she tilted her head. "Or what did you have in mind?"

[wheretheocenbleeds]

“A little more confidence than that.” It partly was duty or to make herself useful. Chiara made it very clear that she needed to stay useful to her and this was one way of doing such but it also helped vent out her anger. The likelihood that she gets her hands on the human responsible for the oil in her lungs was unlikely, they were probably already dead from old age. “What have the hunters done to you?” Because there was no question in her mind that they’d done something horrific. Bloody bastards. 

“He has an association or so I’ve been told. But I’m not gonna get anything from him now. Look at him, he’s as high as a kite.” She sighed heavily she knew the information was shifty at best that this man could tell her anything and right now he was more of a liability.

Louisa wounds only took at matter of seconds to heal once Teagan had stopped drinking from her wrist. She noticed the trail of her own blood in her face and didn’t hesitate in wiping it away with her own thumb. If her cheeks could flush they would have at that “happy to help.” She’d be happy to help Teagan with most things though. “Well I ah e to clean him up. You should probably go home before some else decides they want to snack on you.” If anything was to go by Teagan wasn’t going to listen to her but it was worth a shot. 

[petaledarmour]

Teagan's face hardened at the question, jaw tensed in an instant. "Murder." Was all she said, unwilling to share more than that. Louisa may have saved Teagan's life, but she wasn't owed the entirety of her story or her purpose.

"Well," The fae, always so bold and promiscuous, didn't bother hiding her more carnal desires when Louisa wiped her chin. She grabbed the woman's wrist and held her hand there, wrapping her mouth around her thumb to consume the last of the blood. She smiled, releasing Louisa. "You said it yourself. You're not getting anything from him right now."

Teagan wasn't oblivious to the effect she was having on Louisa. She loved it, really. And what better way to repay a knight than with what they desired? "Home is anywhere I want to lay down. Do you really have to clean him up now? I'm all better thanks to you."

[wheretheocenbleeds]

At the mention is was her home there was a pang of pain the vampires chest, a thought that now matter how long she spent in this town it wouldn't feel like home. That even with her sire and anyone else she would find comfort in they wouldn't understand how the sea called used to call her name. "It's a lovely home." she didn't deny that she was a guest because she had always felt that way on land.

her eyes drifted down to the flower that hadn't been their to begin with. Her fingers creasing the petals like they were the most fragile thing in the world "Beautiful..."

Giving hunters what for? Now that was bold. She wasn't a hunter sympathiser by any mean of the word, she did as her sire told her and that was play nice, stay out of their way. There was a growing admiration to for Teagan. The fact she called them dull wasn't overly reassuring but if there was no passion for them, then maybe she wouldn't care that Louisa was hunting them down. "Well they maybe dull to you but I have an interest in them like you do hunters." it was enough to clue the other in without saying it obviously.

Louisa should be monitoring the wound, making sure that it was healing, that when it did this could stop. But she wasn't. She couldn't look away from Teagan's lips. "Good girl..." The way they pressed against her skin, she was lost in the moment for longer then she should be. What was she doing? she had been taught better then this when she was working. A pretty face and aptitude had got her all caught up. "You're good now, stop."

[petaledarmour]

"Vengeance or duty? Or both?" It was a fair question. Hunters called it duty, a necessary evil to cull the danger for humans. For a moment, Teagan could hear her family's screams, throat going flush with anger. She needed to focus.

"I take it this lovely lad is with the Underground then?" She raised a brow, peering over Louisa's shoulder. He was still quietly sitting in place despite his very twisted and broken arm. Teagan enjoyed how the blood spilled from his splintered flesh. Balance always found a way. Which left Teagan wondering how she'd repay the way Louisa so freely offered her blood to heal the fae. She'd balanced it all with keeping the other vampire in place, but now?

Well, now she was being called a good girl and she lost her train of thought. The dead blood on her tongue, acrid as it was, had no power against Louisa's coo. It was only when she demanded Teagan stop drinking that she was able to truly taste it, but even then she kept her eyes trained on Louisa, unbothered by the blood trickling down her chin. "Much obliged." She muttered. "What now?"

[wheretheocenbleeds]

“I know so.” If they were on a even playing field maybe she wouldn’t be so confident but right now, she believed that she had the upper hand and that if she was a brute like that man she could have drank what little remained.

The question was what was stopping her? Because she had no scruples about using others to get her information. Why did she intervene? A moment of empathy? Was it because the other was beautiful or more that she was fed up of things being taken by arrogant assholes who thought they owned everything? “I might believe you more if you weren’t walking alone in the forest at night.” It seemed short sighted to her.

Sharing names didn’t mean trust was a given but maybe she could get information instead of that idiot that was now high on fae blood that his words were nonsense. “Have you heard of the underground?”

Louisa never backed away from a challenge and now she had permission to help. Biting into her own wrist to break her skin her eyes connected with the other “drink…” she commanded with her compulsion with her arm extended.

[petaledarmour]

"This is home. Where I belong. By sun or moon." Each statement had a bite, emphasized by a blooming flower next to Louisa’s knee. It took some effort given Teagan’s state, but she managed to grow the stem long enough for it to cascade over the other's thigh. "Both of you are merely guests."

Somehow, Teagan's voice wasn't threatening. She just wanted to make a point. To make Louisa realize she was actually far more surrounded than she realized. Moreover, supernatural strength or not, Teagan was capable.

"The Underground?" The fae nodded, shrugging and displaying an expression that looked unimpressed. "Have run into them from time to time while giving some hunters what for, but they seem rather dull to me." While she appreciated what they did to hunters, there was no allyship. Most of the members she'd met in her time in Eden Ros felt lackluster. More violent and uncoordinated than a structured and efficient. But that was only from a handful of members. For all she knew, those were just disposable goons. Every group had them.

Teagan watched Louisa break her skin curiously, then her head rang while the world became a haze when their gazes connected. "You..." Louisa's voice was the only clear thing Teagan could grasp onto, her breath vacating her lungs momentarily while her mind caught up to the command she was given. She obeyed readily, not breaking eye contact as she took Louisa's wrist and drank.

[wheretheocenbleeds]

Louisa tried to stifle her laugh when she noticed the rings on the others hand “if I wanted to hurt you I would have already done it.” She wouldn’t have crouched down, she wouldn’t have been gentle. If she wanted Teagan for whatever blood remained in her system she would have just taken it.

Louisa didn’t move her hand nor did she try and take the warm hand from around her wrist away “He was a brute…” she could tell as much with the marks that were left behind. When vampire did this it made the kiss seem so unrefined. The fae could heal small wounds, she’d seen it before but did the other have the energy to do so? She must be feeling the lack of blood. “I can help you with that, though the blood loss unfortunately you’ll just have to eat.”

“I have gathered that. Bet that gets you in trouble quite a bit. Running? No, I was following him. If he knew I was there I doubt he would stop for a psychedelic cocktail.” She knew the effects of fae blood perhaps a little too well from when she enjoyed her time at the harvest gold. Well now she couldn’t hide her laughter at the thought that she was a knight “Louisa.”

[petaledarmour]

An air of excitement took over Teagan's smile. She loved a challenge. "You think so?" She scrunched her nose, forgetting the pain over the playfulness that was developing.

"He caught me off guard, but you? Don't let this one mistake fool you." It was hardly a threat. Rather, an instigation. Teagan doubted Louisa would take her up on the dare, but her nature didn't allow for her to not try.

The same went for her failed attempt to heal herself, if only slightly. She grumbled, "Feel free to help if you wish."

A chuckle escaped the fae next, low and breathy. Louisa didn't know half the trouble Teagan got in. "Quite a bit, yes." She shrugged, wincing at the small mistake as pain flared. "Well Louisa, with our combined magic, it seems he'll be incapable of leaving here of his own free will. Now that we're acquainted, care to catch me up to speed?"

[wheretheocenbleeds]

Well Louisa wasn't expect such brutality out of the other, she could hide the surprise on her face, but it wasn't on of shock but one that appreciated the sprite the other had. How she would want her own back against the man if she was in her position. It was a look of approval.

The darkness in the others eyes didn't scare her but felt like a reflection. Not many knew what Louisa did when interrogating for information, the lengths shed go to for a scrap of information. This poor fae she could have been a pawn in Louisa game.

Crouching as low as her leather boots would allow next to the fae "Let me see..." she was referring to the bite, see if she needed to help the fae take care of it with some of her own blood. Her none bloody hand tried to slowly work it's way under Teagan's so she could look as the mess beneath.

"You should concentrate on your health currently and not what I want him for." She didn't know where this fae stood in the grand scheme of things, she could be with the underground for all Louisa knew at this point.

[petaledarmour]

"What are you doing?" Teagan attempted to fight the urge to slap the other's hand away, ultimately landing on a compromise. She latched onto the cold wrist, rings at the ready to attack. Then, she realized it wasn'ta trick. Softening, Teagan let go, begrudgingly wincing at the cold touch.

"Sorry." A sigh. A heavy one. "He bit me well and good." The skin was inflamed and angry, blood still trickling slowly from the punctures. Even with the small amount of time that'd passed, there were still intentions of his other teeth still pressed into Teagan’s flesh.

"I don't listen well, I'm afraid. My interest is piqued. He was running from you, wasn't he?" Smiling, the fae's shoulders sank further, guard falling slightly but never fully dropping. "And who is my knight this evening? I'm Teagan."

[latinamamii69]

built my walls so well so no one can get in but now i can’t get out either

[wheretheocenbleeds]

She wasn't here for the fae, she was innocent, the only thing Louisa owed her was not stepping in sooner and that she took time to make her choice. "I'm not here for you sweetheart..." it was meant to reassure the stranger that Louisa wasn't going to do the same as the other. If it worked or not well that wasn't up to her to decide.

Louisa didn't hold onto the other when they found their feet once more, she wouldn't want some stranger latched onto her if she was in Teagan's position. And plus there was that asshole to deal with. Who looked like they were about to run... well until the fae that still had some fight in her trapped him.

Heading over to the tree that now held the man captive she didn't look back to Teagan "You should save your strength, allow me." biting into her palm so her own blood ran. Ramming it into his mouth he was trying hard to look everywhere but her eyes. But such behaviour got old quick, she pincered his jaw between her fingers, sharp nails braking his skin she held such a tight grip. The mix of her blood and the fae's in his system made it easier for her to compel him to stay still. "Now be a good boy and stay still. I don't want to hear a leaf rustle from you." she commanded.

Louisa could make sure the woman got help now, turning to see she was now on kneeling on the floor "You need to take it easy, he took a lot of blood." her voice now the rival of her pervious tone, kind, gentle, compassionate.

[petaledarmour]

Teagan shook her head with a dry chuckle, fingers digging into the soft earth as she pressured her glamour back. Small clumps of soil and grass collected in her palms and crammed beneath her nails. She was safe, but tired.

Despite that, she tensed her entire body to twist the roots further. "Take it easy?" The roots obeyed, applying more and more presshre until she heard a snap from the man's arm. A wicked grin curled onto her face, eyes dark and wide.

"Now I can take it easy." She took a few deep breaths, looking up at her counterpart with that darkness, but no ire. After a few beats, she relaxed, mismatched eyes heavy still with anger, though the light had reignited. She pressed her palm to the bite, gritting her teeth.

"What'd he do to you anyway?"
