⸻ “ I DON’T have long, so you better have a good reason for interrupting my break, ” she joked, taking a big bite of the hamburger she’d managed to snatch from behind the counter, earning her a stern look from flynn. “ wait, did you find binx ? ” that old fuck had been missing for half a week, and sadie didn’t really worry, but… well, his old age wasn’t the only thing they had to worry about. lots of people might want an old, half-dead looking zombie cat. she was surprised he managed to last through halloween here. “ seriously, though. what’s up? ”

beckham huffed as he put out his cigarette on the coffee table before flicking the butt into the ashtray. he was feeling a bit odd as of late and couldn’t really put a finger on why. maybe he just needed to talk to his siblings… maybe they felt the same way.

“sades,“ he started up, looking curiously around their apartment, “do you ever feel like mom is trying to send signals to us from back home?”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ SADIE LEANED back in their armchair, squinting at her older brother. what an odd question for this time of day -- for any time of day. they made a point of not discussing what happened at home, promising this would be a fresh start for the three of them. but maybe beckham needed this from her right now, and she’d never been able to refuse him anything.

“ what do you mean? ” no sneer, no judgement, just honest interest. it was a rarity between them, their comments often laced with something teasing. “ did you experience something? ”

beatrixutoniumx:

the hot girl could still walk away, true, but she wouldn’t. they both knew she wouldn’t. it showed in the girl’s smirk and in beatrix’s eyes. she made the slightest tilt of her head, her gaze catching the girl’s with a quick wink, like a subtle acknowledgment.

“ daddy issues, ” she repeated, the curiosity clear in the volume of her voice but beatrix wasn’t sure if she should say anything else. that seemed too personal — but maybe it was a joke? — but no, her powerpuff senses were tingling. and they were telling her to not ask more about it. and she was working on this. the whole ‘don’t get into people’s business’ thing. what would her sisters do? fuck!!!! beverly would say something smart and smooth, and brynne would say something equally smart but with much more empathy and — what would beatrix do ? “ aight, you carry those and i’ll just carry you, ” she ended up saying, returning the girl’s smile and internally screaming the whole time. “ thanks, i’m basically like … ‘first man on the moon’ kind of stuff but with being a dipshit. i’m a pioneer. ”

she ran her hands through her hair once more, feeling sweat on her scalp. whether that was from the heat of the club and the partying she’d done earlier, or her nervousness with saying the right thing. “ nothing wrong with some fun nicknames. is that you telling me you want some? ” she smirked. “ and, hey, as long as you’re still talking to me, you can call me whatever you want — ” beatrix’s words came to a halt when she heard her name said like that.

keep it together.

sadie teague, sadie teague, sadie teague. three times, like a wish. “ it’s already a pretty cool name by itself anyway. and now that we’re properly introduce : nice to meet you, sadie. ” she did a little bow, and when she rose up again there was that subtle lift of her lips that wordlessly agreed: yes, you are very hot.

beatrix began to lead them to the building, unable to stop the skip in her step. in the crisp air, she suddenly felt invigorated. “ nothing beats a good pair of converse — i broke my shoes a lot as a kid but when i got my first converse i was like, no way in hell am i gonna break these. ” beatrix took a deep breath, exhaled, then continued: “ what was that thing you said earlier? rear window? is that a saying? ”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ IT WAS very much implied that they’d be spending the evening together, the tension palpable in the air already. the question would be whether sadie was going to keep in touch after tonight, what was going to happen between them exactly. she didn’t repeat the statement, waited instead of beatrix to figure out what she was going to do. her interest in this evening would rise or fall with her reaction, and she got the sense that beatrix knew exactly that. her answer was a good one; ignore the weight of it all, turn it into a little joke. they’d just met tonight, there was no reason for them to immediately spill their traumatic pasts, if the other had any too, but there was something familiar in her gaze that made sadie think it was the case. “ well, you certainly have a very high opinion of your own physical strength. ” oh, how she wished it was possible to conjure up a spell or potion to make it impossible to lift her up, just to fuck with beatrix a little bit. because she had no doubt whatsoever that the other girl was strong enough to do just exactly that. “ that’s exactly what i’m talking about. put your flag there and claimed it for yourself, didn’t you? dipshitland, inhabitants: one. ”

she shook her head, but the amused smile stayed right where it was. god, it was so stupid, wasn’t it? these nicknames that were so obviously bad that they were on the same level as dad jokes, her insistence that she hated it when they both knew she didn’t. “ i don’t actually. unless you can come up with something better that doesn’t involve my appearance, ” she tried to say pointedly, but bumped her shoulder into beatrix’ for good measure. then she dug a cigarette out of her jacket pocket, lighting it with some expectancy. if this little vice of hers that she used to cope with her fucked up life was a turn-off for beatrix, it was better to discover it sooner rather than later. “ need one? but thanks, i’ll just stick to your actual name. i kinda like it. ” no, she just liked the girl’s reaction to it, but minor details.

“ nice to meet you too, beatrix. ” okay, just once more, for good measure. “ are you trying to curtsy or are your knees buckling? ” she couldn’t resist smirking, but raised her head slightly in greeting. they wouldn’t be shaking hands. “ if you’re gonna try to kidnap me, i’ll remind you that i carry knives on me. your building is looking shady as hell. ” she could see exactly where they were going; rich people had such obvious taste. “ feel that. i’ve had this same pair since i was sixteen. ” and still going strong, it was kind of an achievement at this point. “ it’s a movie. about this guy who’s spying on his neighbours because he’s got nothing better to do with his life. ”

“ wait until you hear me try and tell a joke, then you’ll be sorry, ” she taunted. “ i’m not known for mine either, so i suppose we’ll just have to live a humourless existence. ” serena’s voice remained comforting and warm, but she kept a sharp eye on sadie’s condition. if she could, she would transfer her energy to her friend, to give her just enough to last the night and heal. serena placed a cool hand on sadie’s forehead and stroked her hair back gently. “ hold on, ” she whispered, almost like a wish, almost like a spell.

“ you don’t need to be sorry. i’m not, ” she said firmly, in her ever soft voice. the wound now as clean as she could make it, serena placed a bandage on it. miraculously, the wound had slowed its bleeding, and she breathed a little easier. “ … i actually wasn’t doing much when you arrived. i was just lying in bed … trying to sleep, but not really, ” she admitted, a faraway look in her eyes as she paused in her movements. “ i had a feeling something was going to happen. that i needed to open the door, and … there you were. i thought i’d never see you again, ” she added quietly, pressing her lips to a thin line. “ i’m glad you came to me. ” hearing sadie thank her made her heart swell.

they were an odd pair. while serena was no stranger to the unexpected friendships in her life, being friends with sadie felt a little more significant. they were as different as different could be, but something still drew them together. perhaps it was that unknown reason why serena’s healing always worked and her visions led her to always be in the right spot at the right time. she’d lived most of her life avoiding that question. but now that more was happening, and people from her past were coming back, she would need to face it sooner rather than later. the thought, and sadie’s words, made her eyebrows furrow.

as sadie explained the night, she kept herself busy by shuffling on her knees to her bedside drawers and pulling out the ingredients she would need for a poultice. the powdered bark of a slippery elm tree. castor oil. water. she mixed all these and made the yellowy paste in her hands. “ who was he ? i can think of a few things to slip into his morning coffee, ” she murmured, frowning. “ and if your brothers ever heard about this, they’d … ” she trailed off, shaking her head. “ but i promise i won’t tell them anything. other than this … do people generally treat you well ? ”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ AT THIS point sadie should’ve probably begged serena to tell a joke, to say anything else so that she could focus on her words rather than slip away into unconsciousness, but she barely had energy to muster a smile, much less to say anything with actual conviction. “ i’d love to hear that, though, ” she forced out, blinking furiously a few times. serena’s cool hand on her forehead gave her a bit of a shock, blew a bit of a breeze into the clouds of her mind so they drifted apart. “ have you considered a career in medicine? or motivational speaking? ” because shit, she was good at this. who else would’ve thought to throw together a bunch of meaningless herbs just so sadie wouldn’t have to go to the hospital?

the faint smile stayed there as serena worked, but sadie still tried not to look too hard at what her friend was doing exactly. there was a lot of blood involved, and though she wasn’t afraid of it, it wasn’t a very encouraging sight when she was on the verge of something. “ something on your mind? ” they were nowhere near a friendship solid enough to talk about their innermost thoughts, but it was worth a try in these situations. maybe sadie would finally work up the courage to let people in, to let them see her inner workings like her brothers could instead of keeping people at arm’s length. “ wait, really? ” sadie tried to sit up, finding it slightly easier than her previous attempts. “ have you always had that, or did it start here in elias? ” people had found serena a bit odd back in hallow falls, too, so maybe that was the reason? she didn’t really know, sadie generally tried to stay away from people back then, only doing what orion told her and avoiding anything else that may lead to a connection of sorts. it was dangerous, what she had done now, but she’d deal with the consequences of orion’s wrath later.

“ you already knew. ” sadie’s disbelief ebbed away, because it made a bit of sense. hadn’t she always felt slightly drawn to the woman? a faint smile from across the street, fingers touching when handing over a cup of coffee, eyes meeting and sparks flying. there was something here. “ what else have you experienced? ” she squinted, ready to tell all about her own abilities right there and then. no one knew, but maybe it was time.

she shook her head. “ appreciate the thought, but he’s long gone by now. i made a point of not asking his name. ” she inspected the bandage, and, when satisfied, turned on her side so serena would have easier access. it didn’t hurt as much. “ no, don’t. they’d flip their shit. generally it’s not like this. i make sure i’m treated well, i picked the wrong person this time. ”

beatrixutoniumx:

beatrix might be the one enjoying being told off ( which was a new feeling for her and something she’d have to reflect on later lmao ), but the beautiful woman had to enjoy telling her off too. she could talk all she wanted about how she was only doing this to get rid of beatrix, but they were still here, weren’t they ? and maybe beatrix wanted to see where they would go, because she had a feeling this girl was out of her league somehow — despite how huge trix’s ego was. her ego knew her place in the world, this small world she’d created for herself. in the past, she’d been scared of feeling small — but now she respected how big other people could be too. the stranger had places to be and cooler people to meet. and maybe beatrix just wanted to savour the moment, to hear more of her voice, and see that sharp light in her eyes, like the cut of a diamond.

jesus christ, i’m so gay, beatrix screamed in her head — for what seemed like the millionth time. why the fuck was she thinking of diamonds ?

“ well, duh, it’s both of those things. dreamboat material right here, ” beatrix pointed her thumbs at herself, the idiotic smile intent on staying on her face. the mention of her dad made her snort-laugh though, and she shook her head. “ uh, no, actually. surprisingly enough he wasn’t a dipshit. he was super nice. is super nice. so judging him is kinda off-limits, ” beatrix made a cross with her fingers. “ all the dipshit-ness started with me. as all legends do. ” and it was true. the dipshit part, at least. no reflection needed.

her hand ignored, beatrix shook her head with a chuckle, choosing to adjust her own jacket in stead. she saw the random jacket plucked from a chair and wondered if the girl straight-up stole it, but it fit her too well. “ oh, so you do want my name ? ” she teased, and then added quickly before she regretted it: “ beatrix. but you can call me trix. i kinda wanna hear those nicknames though. do they rhyme with … hottie ? maverick ? super cool hot girl ? oh, wait, that’s your nickname, ” she flashed her a handsome smile. “ could i have your name too ? ”

“ well, for starters. we gotta come up with how to get there. you okay with walking ? two blocks that-a-way, ” she pointed.

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ SADIE HADN’T realised she was gay until it was rubbed in her face one fateful night. it had terrified her, all the implications and what they would mean for her future. someone had required her services, and accepted her with her lack of experience, her flaws and yes, her ghosts. both literal and metaphorical. no one had seen her like that before, and though she was embarrassed, it was worse when she came home that night and worked through what had happened and how she felt about it. terrified, of course. she’d left that person behind, and swore she’d always be in charge after that. no more risks, only situations she could handle. with men.

but fuck, beatrix made her want to let her guard down ever so slightly. “ oh, whatever, don’t get a big ego. i can still walk away right here and now, you know. ” not that she was planning to, as was extremely evident from her tone and the smirk that refused to leave her alone. at the defensive stance the other put up, sadie raised her hands and actually, physically, backed off slightly. “ no daddy issues, got it. guess i’ll carry those for both of us, then. ” and she shouldn’t have said that, because now an explanation was going to be expected and required, and sadie was absolutely not able or willing to give it. it was a teague family secret. “ cool, you made your own way into dipshit land. very admirable, and feminist. i’m so proud. ” she tried for another smile to recover smoothly.

“ what, am i supposed to come up with nicknames for you all the time? sounds more like something you would do rather than me, beatrix. ” she let a hint of something drip into her voice as she spoke the girl’s full name. “ you know those are terrible, right? hottie? do you really want to be called that? ” she shrugged on her jacket -- her favourite -- and headed out into the cold, looking around and then at trix for directions. “ so we’ve established that i’m hot. ” and no, fuck that, sadie was not going to blush. it was the cold. “ sadie teague. ” she might as well get the dreaded last name out of the way now, in case trix had met beckham and he’d fucked her over and ruined any chance sadie might have at a decent night. “ no nicknames from that, so just sadie will do. ”

in lieu of an answer, she started walking towards where trix had pointed rather resolutely. “sure, i put on my good shoes tonight. ” her worn-down converse, but no one had ever said shit about them.

“ we’ll stay here for now, but if there’s a next time, i’m choosing the joint. deal ? ” she arched a teasing brow, a short laugh bubbling from her lips. the words ‘next time’ echoed around her head. she had so few friends — scratch that, she had so few people she regularly met and wanted to actually spend time with nowadays, it felt almost dangerous to promise a ‘next time …. not when she didn’t trust herself to stay in the moment and not wane. still, she pushed herself to remember where she was. at a coffee shop with a smart girl.

“ hold your horses there, new york, i’m not gonna show you my favourite until you’ve tried a couple of others. you gotta build your palate, ” she said with mock seriousness. then she smiled. “ sadie, huh ? killer name. i guess it’s better than ‘new york’, ” she winked. “ i’m megara. but you can call me meg. i can order our drinks. you wanna tell me what brought you over to my neck of the woods ? ” she jutted her thumb back at the distant building of SK8ES.

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ AH, SO there was going to be a next time if it was up to meg. a nice surprise for sadie, who was already afraid that she’d fucked up whatever this was by choosing coffee that was so below meg’s standards that she’d never want to speak to her again. thank god that wasn’t the case. “ well, you’ve got me curious now, so yes. you’ve got yourself a deal, meg. ” a slow, lazy smile spread on her lips, deliberate so that the satisfaction was hidden a little bit further beneath the surface. “ we’ll have to stay in touch so you can flaunt your superior coffee taste in my face, right? ” she convinced herself the twinge of desperation wasn’t audible in her voice.

“ build my palate? really? you sound like you’re making that up. ” she raised an eyebrow, a little bit hopeful that this was just meg’s plan to get them together for more coffee… dates? but of course, sadie could just be reading into things. as usual. and there was already one dark-haired girl occupying her mind, was there really room for another? “ thanks, i guess. better than my middle name, anyway, ” she snorted. “ sadie grace. my mom was hopeful i’d turn out nicely. ” obviously, carrie’d been wrong. “ surprise me, ” she replied with a smirk. “ what, you want me to just spill all my secrets immediately? that’ll come when you show me your favourite. ”

Max realized that everyone had a different definition of what evil was. And there was strangely a lot of evil people around. Or if they weren’t evil, they were at least shady. Max didn’t like to judge people, but he needed to be more cautious since he did keep getting himself into trouble. “Well, I really hope so or a lot of people are going to get hurt and it’s all my fault.” He hated that he was involved in any of this at all. The Sanderson sisters though were his fault, his problem and he needed to fix it. “Um, well because people are going to get hurt. Children are going to get hurt. And it’s not fair. There’s having a good time and then there’s hurting people who are innocent. Don’t you agree?”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ SADIE WOULDN’T classify herself as evil, not exactly. would she be considered an antagonist in a movie about her life? maybe. but she thought that she was severely misunderstood, manipulated and straight-up dealt a terrible hand by life, and that wasn’t her fault. it only became her fault and problem when she refused to do anything about it because she felt powerless -- and because she admitted she enjoyed what the association with orion could do for her here in elias. “ your fault? that doesn’t sound so great. what, did you do something really evil? kick a puppy? they sure will get hurt if you do that. ” she was fully entertained now, and leant back casually to observe the specimen before her. “ i don’t see you going around kicking puppies, though, so tell me. what did you do that’s so terrible? ” she shrugged, not wanting to make it too obvious that she agreed. “ depends on the person. ”

highstakesr0ller:

there were numerous things orion disliked. the list could go on and on if he had no one to stop him. but the weakening grip..the lost of power had to be at the very top of the list. since his return to this foolish city, the siblings appear to have forgotten for whom they served. who paid their bills. who gave them with a roof over their impoverished heads. with valentines right around the corner, he figured things would pick. after all, the gears in his head had shifted in a sinister direction, and the fun was just beginning. ..with a little help

“if it isn’t my favorite witch,” orion teased while bumping into the young lady. the very person who was ignoring his phone calls and text messages.

“must be very busy to not answer my calls, are you trying to hurt my feeling sadie?”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ ALTHOUGH SHE was fully aware that orion was the one who literally kept sadie alive ever since she and her brothers had arrived in elias, the worst thing he could do wasn’t to cut them off and leave them to fend for themselves. she had two jobs now, both paid halfway decently, and when logan finished his education he’d surely earn more than both his siblings combined. as for beckham… well, sadie was sure he could find another bartending job elsewhere; maybe if she was on her best behaviour, simba would hire another teague.

she’d avoided the casino on purpose, but when beckham hadn’t come home that night, she went to search for him foolishly; he could take care of himself, and sadie wasn’t prepared for whom she might find instead. “ orion, ” she exhaled, her breath making little clouds in the air, though it wasn’t even cold. “ i’m not… fuck, ” she hissed, looking around for a way out. there was obviously none. “ no. i’ve been busy. working on my powers, as you told me to. ”

🎃 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── there was always this darkness inside jasper that he fought well and hard to keep hidden. living in a town with monsters and his family being the embodiment of halloween darkness was inevitable. yet, the skeleton tried so hard to drown it out with light. whether it was in the glow of christmas lights or the laughter of kids throwing snowballs instead of heads. it had become hard to keep that darkness, that anger, at bay since orion had poked the bear. he was seething. the monster inside of him was fighting to break free.

eyes narrowed, jasper yanked the drink from her and slammed it on the other side of the table. he didn’t have time for her pestering ways. “ don’t play dumb, sadie. you and i both know you’re not. ” jasper said simply. “ the bug that crawled up my ass is that boss of yours. whatever hell bent mission he’s on i know you and your siblings are tied into it. so, i don’t think there’s a lack of a reason as to why i’m picking on you. ” he used air quotes around the latter part of his statement. “ i’m not interested in hearing out or seeing a henchmen of oogies. ”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ SADIE HAD specifically set out to avoid orion lately, rather done with acting like a little errand boy for him, but it seemed she was still being blamed for whatever shenanigans he’d gotten up to recently. she was tired and pissed off at doing his bidding simply because he was a big, strong man, and had an insane amount of leverage on her, but this was a dangerous game that she could only play for so long until he got his claws into her again. but still, any sympathy she’d felt for jasper once upon a time evaporated, any sincere bone in her body crumbled into dust. sadie was enraged, and though she knew jasper had good reason to despise her ( they’d never been on good terms, let alone in elias ) , she was furious at the assumption. “ fucking hell, skellington, ” she seethed, leaning back and crossing her arms, no trace of a mischievous smile she usually wore. “ you know, you of all people should be able to sense when people are actually doubting themselves or their alliances, or hell, even making conversation just for the sake of it. i thought we had something, ” she spat, unable to resist a good sneer.

she rolled her eyes at his antics. jasper may have been the skeleton king of hallow falls, but here in elias, they’d gotten ever so slightly closer to an equal footing; sadie had been practising. she’d made friends, she’d studied, she’d improved. she couldn’t exactly call herself a proper witch yet, but she’d learned, and because of that, she was no longer intimidated by his outbursts. orion was a different matter, of course, but this was something at least. “ thought you did something there ? trust me, if the three of us were involved, you’d know the difference. from your silly little outburst, i’m deducing that he’s planned or done something ruthless, and if he called on us, it’d have been toned down slightly. we’re here as his playthings as much as you are, whether you like it or not. so fuck you, for insinuating. ”

“ is it so hard to believe that i like bad puns ? people are so excited to say them, that’s why i like them, ” she confessed, shrugging with a smile. “ but yes. it’s good that you’re able to keep talking, i’m grateful for that. puns are just a bonus. ” if sadie wasn’t able to keep talking at all, then this would be an entirely different situation. falling unconscious however …

“ i’ll get some nice scarlet fabrics then, ” she joked, catching on from earlier that sadie was getting worried, even if she wouldn’t admit it. “ and then it magically turns brown later on. ” after a pause where she tucked in the fabric around her body so she could be more comfortable, serena added: “ i can always get more fabric, but i’m not sure where i can get more sadie. ”

now stationed next to sadie, she worked on cleaning the wound and bandaging it. “ it’s a paste made from herbs. it’ll help you heal. generally it helps to stop inflammation, but we’re in elias so … i believe it’ll also have a little something extra. ” or maybe the something extra was serena herself. both her and sadie were from hallow falls; they were no strangers to the weird and unexpected. but she could never describe it as ‘magic’ … that seemed like too light a word for a place like their hometown. she was just grateful no one had ever gotten worse under her healing watch. “ so … do you want to talk about what happened tonight ? ”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ “ NO, IT’S not that hard to believe you like puns in general, ” she muttered. even as she believed she was on death’s doorstep, sadie still had this need to prove herself ( but mostly to prove others wrong ) gnawing at her. “ it’s hard to believe you want to hear mine, specifically, since i’m not known for my great sense of humour. ” it was said with a tight-lipped smile, and no intention to follow up with the promise whatsoever, and both women knew that. sadie had no energy left to talk in general, on the verge of passing out -- let alone cracking jokes and puns. they were pretending, just to make her hold on a little longer, because they both knew the second sadie closed her eyes she’d fall asleep, no guarantee she’d be woken up again without professional medical help, and she trusted serena not to take her to a hospital, as per her request.

“ seriously, serena, ” she answered, her eyes darting around the now messy room, “ i really am sorry about this. ” she didn’t even have to gesture to the wound serena was working on even if she could, it was pretty redundant by now. “ i know this isn’t how you want to spend your evening, and i didn’t mean to end up like this. ” she was touched, truly, almost tearing up at her friend’s words; mostly because she didn’t really think she had any left in this world. “ thank you, ” was all she replied, but it was enough. serena continued on about her herbs and sadie tried her best to pay attention, because this was important for her future career. “ i don’t think elias is the reason it’ll work, and you know that. ” elias was a queer town in more ways than one, but serena had done this kind of thing before outside of the city. “ well… ” she started, trailing off immediately as she tried to recall the events that had transpired. “ i was working, and chose a bad client, i guess. he had specific requests that i wasn’t really willing to fulfil -- you know how i can handle most things, but this was fucked up. and he didn’t take kindly to being refused. so here we are. ”

THE PRINCESS KNEW RIGHT AWAY that the other girl's smile was disingenuous , nearly mocking her with bitter humor . aurora liked to believe she was fairly good at keeping her feelings in check , except for when it concerned her loved ones . as resilient and dutiful as aurora was , it could be difficult to hold her ground — especially at the stranger's last couple of words . her expression changed from curious to blank , violet eyes staring at the other for a silent moment . ❛ … i don't think i need to answer that question . it seems to me you've never had a loved one in danger . you wouldn't understand . ❜ spoken with a gentle tone despite the sharp words , eyes looking the other over for a moment , aurora tilted her head to the side . ❛ but maybe you'd like to tell me what it's like to be half - dead yourself ? a life spent laughing at the misfortune of others doesn't seem to be much of a life at all … ❜

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ “ THAT’S A rather bold and incorrect assumption, your highness, ” she answered with a tone just as sharp as the princess’ had been earlier, fighting to keep her eyes from blazing with fire at the sheer audacity. of course she’d had loved ones in danger; her father was a menace to society and the family, and orion wasn’t above threatening her brothers either. although she knew deep down he didn’t intend to eliminate any of them just to get at sadie, it was a constant burden on her heart that she might in any way be responsible for what happened to them. “ i must agree with you, though i don’t spend my life laughing at others’ misfortune, as you put it less-than-aptly. i occupy myself alternatively occasionally, ” she mused, studying aurora in a calm and detached manner. “ i’m just curious, is all. i think it’s a little mean that you immediately assume i don’t have genuine intentions. ” not that she did, or anything, but… well, they’d never officially met before, so sadie could get away with pretending. “ other than that, being half-dead is pretty cool. ” if aurora thought she could get at her by insulting her appearance, she was half-dead wrong.

⸻ HER SEMI-RELUCTANCE to help out was obviously faked, but sadie counted on victoria not taking her hint because of the exact fact she’d mentioned before; the two of them didn’t know each other, so why would victoria know anything about sadie and the way she conducted herself ? she still put her phone away, though. “ well, i do thank you for calling me not stupid, i guess. ” her sarcasm was blatantly obvious, but if victoria paid any attention to her demeanour, she’d notice a definite change; sadie was actually quite proud she was addressed in this manner, after her past struggling with the education system and basically educating herself instead, on both the interesting and rather boring subject matters. “ an apt description. i don’t think the dead would appreciate recklessness, so i suppose you really would have a good guide in me. ” it was clear by now that sadie was more than interested in helping out, so she allowed herself a little smile in response to victoria’s chuckle. “ sadie teague, resident spooky girl at your service. ”

“it has a name and i’m holding it just fine.” beckham said with a huff before his grabbed ben up. he wasn’t holding him wrong… at least he thought he wasn’t. reagan taught him how to before but it was all too confusing for beck. “look that’s what you get for thinking.” he said tossing sadie’s keys onto the coffee table before tossing himself onto the couch. he knew they wouldn’t be but he hoped just maybe his siblings might be a bit helpful with ben. patting on his jean pockets beck tried to feel for his cigarettes. “fuck. i think i forgot my cigs in the car.” he huffed, “looks like you two are doing nothing as always.”

“I forgot what Reagan named it.” He got closer now and looked at the baby in his sister’s arms. He had wanted to meet him at least once. His nephew was a prince and that was insane on it’s own without the fact that this baby was Beck’s kid. He never thought he’d see the day honestly. “Right because we haven’t heard the going out for cigs line before.” Logan rolled his eyes. “I’m not expert either but I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to smoke around a baby, dumbass.”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ THERE WAS zero motherly instinct to be found within sadie, that much was clear from the fact that she was now the one holding the baby more wrong than her brother had. she looked at the squirming, writhing kid, and sniffed in disgust, deciding to push it into logan’s arms. “ is this the famed baby smell people love? ” it was gross. but maybe it needed a new diaper. “ i’m not changing him! ” she exclaimed to get dibs, taking a step back -- then shrugged and tossed beck her own pack of cigs. “ whatever. i need a smoke too. no offence, beck, but your offspring is kinda gross. ”

while nala didn’t know sadie very well, she was almost thankful to see a familiar face as she found herself exploring new places ( so long as said faces weren’t too familiar ). when it came to running into scar, she didn’t want to do that again until it was planned and she was ready. but nala could handle one of simba’s little coworkers easily.

“ took the name of the place a bit literally, haven’t we ? ” she was prompted to ask when her gaze fell to the cat drinking milk on the floor. “but, anyway - thanks. i don’t think i’ve had japanese pancakes before. maybe i’ll give them a shot.”

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ SADIE RESISTED the urge to kick at poor binx to get him out of the way. it was her time with orion, still exerting an influence on her; taking lollipops from babies, kidnapping people, that shit. not that the cat would probably feel it anyways; most of his nerve endings had long frayed and wasted away like binx himself, and he barely noticed when people touched him. “ he’s lucky to be alive, that’s true, ” she muttered, settling for a quick glance and a pat on his back that she swore made it cave in a little.

“ you here by yourself, then? ” she felt obliged to ask, though it was obvious nala had walked in here alone. she could be waiting for simba, for all sadie knew, and if that was the case, she would probably bolt out of there faster than the speed of light. no thanks. “ you look anxious. ” hey, no one had ever called sadie kind.

she needed to know her name. it wasn’t often she felt this, but all beatrix wanted to do was keep listening to this random girl, even if all she did was tell her she was wrong. she put her hands on her hips, trying to fight the amused smile threatening to grow on her lips. her lips quirked a little bit before she did a big sniff to try and stave off the feeling.

when she lingered closer, beatrix’s eyes flickered, looking her up and down. “ you wouldn’t be the first to try and make me a better person, my miyagi, but props to you for trying. i mean, i’m actually listening, so … ” she shrugged with a smile.

“ … yeah but it’s a little bit working, isn’t it ? ” and the smile turned just that little bit goofy and idiotic, very pleased with herself. she must work in the club or something … though trix had not seen her around before. she made a mental note to remember to ask her that later. the emphasis on ’usually’, had her eyebrows rise, but she knew better than to tease her about that. never let it be said beatrix utonium never learned. she learned when it came to matters of gay interest.

“ i mean, i might … i dunno … light a piece of paper on fire or bust the lights or some shit, if that’s gonna make it more dramatic. ” she’d definitely done that before, and yes, maybe it gave her a temporary god complex. “ but it’s better to just see what they do. right this way … ” she held her hand out to the club exit. “ please fasten your seatbelts, the annoying chick’s gonna make your night, ” beatrix grinned.

*:･ﾟ✧

⸻ SHE SCOFFED, but sadie’s heart was in this whole ordeal less and less. especially given the offer to get out of there and do something actually fun, where they didn’t have to practically yell to make the other hear them, was making her eager to wrap it up and leave already. but… well, she couldn’t resist putting her in her place just once more. “ oh, it’s adorable that you think i actually give a shit about your moral alignment, but i’m just trying to prove a point. and to get you off my back, mostly, ” she shrugged, downing the rest of her drink in one gulp and setting it down on a nearby tray. “ but whatever you get out of it. ” who knows, maybe the girl got a kick out of being told off. she’d dealt with weirder people in her profession.

a small satisfied smile crept onto sadie’s lips, and she threw her hands up in resignation. “ hey, i’m still here talking to you, so that means something is working for you. who knows if it’s the voice or the general determination to be a knight in shining armour despite my protests. what, ” she added, unable to resist a mocking tone of voice, “ did your daddy force you to play with pink barbie dolls when you preferred toy cars? did that leave a traumatic scar on your soul or something? ”

she’d started walking towards the exit, ignoring the girl’s outstretched hand, and plucked her jacket from an abandoned chair ( her reputation had ensured no one would touch it; people knew she had claws and teeth ). “ does the annoying chick have a name, or can i come up with a myriad of nicknames that suit you much better? ” the cold air outside bit into her skin, but sadie breathed it in gratefully. much better than the stuffy club atmosphere. “ that’s a big promise, annoying chick. we’ll see how far you come with that. ”
