“ i do like carrots, ” she admitted with a couple of slow nods, half lost in her own thoughts as she spoke. “ i haven’t tried that much human food yet, if i am being honest with you — most of it is.. odd. like the.. string cheese? it’s not..made of strings? ” someone said it was ‘ milk that you chew ’ a while ago and remembering that she felt the need to retch coming up. “ and ice cream, too. ”

“It’s not made of strings, you’re supposed to....nevermind.” She shakes her head. Forget about the cheese, it wasn’t going to happen. Carrots? Great....not exactly Callie’s favourite food. But ice cream? That was something she could roll with. “Let’s get ice cream.” Because less could go wrong with that, surely. Did it matter that it was already getting cold outside? Not at all.

   for someone who didn’t NEED human food to survive, she ate quite a lot of it. her tastes, however, were considered odd and she often didn’t enjoy what was widely likable. like cheese. carrots, chicken nuggets ( and burgers ) were a couple of things that she already liked. sweets were good in her book as well, but not every kind. mostly sour ones. marshmallows were overrated and so were the things they did from them and chocolate. too sweet.  “ how does it taste better if it’s the same thing? ”

“I----” Actually, she has no real answer for that, Callie’s brow furrowing slightly. Her mouth opens and shuts a few times, before she finally gives up. “It just does. Trust me.” A really helpful answer. “Well, what do you like? You said you were hungry.” Callie could just keep guessing at what the brunette liked, but it hadn’t worked so far, and after watching her take a bite out of the cheese, she really didn’t want to. Honestly, that left her feeling a little nauseated ---it was just unnatural.

❝ humans are always going to FEAR what they don’t know and because of that they HUNT the likes of us down or try to OPPRESS us. took me a long time to REALIZE that i don’t want to HIDE anymore. ❞

“I still do.” Perhaps it’s the wrong answer, perhaps it’s cowardice. But Callie isn’t going to risk herself for what...? To be herself? No, she could just as easily do that without anyone else’s knowledge. Anyway, it wasn’t just the humans she feared - she seen what others like them could do..

                        “   hello   —  –   ”      willa  said  the  moment  that  she  walked  into  the  shop.  she  had  always  wanted  a  tattoo,  but  was  never  able  to  make  up  her  mind  on  what  she  wanted.  now  though,  with  things  more  clear  and  the  new  position,  she  was  finally  able  to  make  a  choice.   “  i’m  here  to  get  some  ink  please.   ”     @slightcfhand

Sitting in one of the reclining tattooing chairs, Callie had been playing on her phone when the ridiculous little bell above the door chimed. Shooting up, she prayed it wasn’t Derek. He hadn’t left her in charge so she could lounge around ---- at least, that’s what he’d say. Luckily, it wasn’t him, rather a tall brunette woman, Callie tilting her head as she swung her legs over the side of the chair. “Get some ink, please?” A brow raises, Callie echoing the woman’s words. “Your first?” That was a guess, but an educated one.

SHORT STORIES, my favorite kind of poetry ( meme ).

SIX WORDS .

❝ i heard you were doing good. ❞ ❝ you don’t grow your horns overnight. ❞ ❝ i promise, it gets better eventually. ❞ ❝ & we never talked after that. ❞ ❝ am i really, truly, that unlovable? ❞ ❝ don’t talk like you’re coming back. ❞ ❝ my most dangerous habit is trusting. ❞ ❝ we’re made of stars & stories. ❞ ❝ you didn’t have to do that. ❞ ❝ everything is poetry when you’re drunk. ❞ ❝ did i mean anything to you? ❞ ❝ real feelings don’t just go away. ❞ ❝ you came & changed the weather. ❞ ❝ when can you just be mine? ❞ ❝ there was no love, only lust. ❞ ❝ darling, stop wishing on dead stars. ❞ ❝ art is another form of screaming. ❞ ❝ silence is the most painful goodbye. ❞ ❝ what the fuck did you do? ❞ ❝ i’m drunk, dizzy & missing you. ❞ ❝ kiss me like you’re losing me. ❞ ❝ i don’t feel like smiling today. ❞ ❝ not all good people are innocent. ❞ ❝ we’re a disaster in the making. ❞ ❝ some things are better left unsaid. ❞ ❝ we really should’ve talked about it. ❞ ❝ i’m so glad i met you. ❞ ❝ i wish i knew you earlier. ❞ ❝ i fucked (pronoun/name) to our song. ❞ ❝ i dreamed of you this night. ❞

TEN WORDS .

❝ you saw the messed up parts of me, & stayed. ❞ ❝ all i’ve ever wanted was for someone to save me. ❞ ❝ since you left, i have no one to talk to. ❞ ❝ i apologize for the nights in which i cannot breathe. ❞ ❝ everytime i look at you, i want to kiss you. ❞ ❝ we said no strings attached but now we’re in knots. ❞ ❝ there’s a difference between missing someone & missing having someone. ❞ ❝ for which f are you drinking? fuck, forget, or fun? ❞ ❝ my biggest mistake was thinking i could live without (pronoun/name). ❞ ❝ whenever (name/pronoun) rose to kiss me, i fell even more. ❞ ❝ i wish that ‘goodnight’ was followed by ‘i love you’. ❞ ❝ let’s smoke a pack of mentholds & talk about love. ❞ ❝ your deep, sleepy voice makes me feel like i’m okay. ❞ ❝ i read both of our horoscopes looking for an answer ❞ ❝ reality is the absolute last place i want to be. ❞ ❝ i didn’t expect that drunk kiss could mean this much. ❞ ❝ all i need is a late night drive with you. ❞ ❝ feeling pain is nowhere near as terrifying as feeling nothing. ❞ ❝ your eyes are the color of summer fading into autumn. ❞ ❝ you are the warmest home i will ever, ever find. ❞ ❝ the world is less scary when i am with you. ❞ ❝ i still can’t tell which of us was the victim. ❞ ❝ i just need an excuse to hang out with you. ❞ ❝ your expectations for me have been set way too high. ❞ ❝ i don’t want to feel this way about anyone else. ❞

Being left to lock up the tattoo parlour was no small responsibility, and Callie took the time to double check the back door before heading out the front. Lights were flicked off as she made her way too the front, only then noticing the woman on the stoop. Pausing, Callie took a moment to try and recognise the face -- there were people looking for her, and she wasn’t eager to run out and put herself in danger. The face was a stranger though, Callie finally moving to open the door. “What are you doing out here?”

Her nose wrinkles as the other woman spits out the cheese, rather unceremoniously. “Sweet cheese?” She echoes, not any more impressed with that than the brunette was with the cheese presented to her. “That is not a thing. And it shouldn’t be a thing. String cheese tastes better when you eat it right.” But perhaps the other couldn’t be convinced.

"Are you hurt?"

@wrovghtiron​  ||  THRILLER & CRIMINAL STARTERS

“Oh my god, my chest. I think I’m having a heart attack.” Completely untrue - it’s a cracked rib at best, but her mind jumps to the worst conclusion. She cringes as she tries to move, letting out a groan. The bar had been quiet one moment, filled with flying fists the next. Some guys having a disagreement, though Callie hadn’t seen who - she hadn’t had the chance. She’d simply been sitting at the bar when one of them crashed into her, flinging her nearly halfway across the room. “Do you think I’m going to die?”

“That’s… a lot of drugs you’ve got there.”

@bodyxhorror  ||  THRILLER & CRIMINAL STARTERS

Drugs? The word echos around in her head for a moment before it actually sinks in. “What —- no. Ok, that’s what it looks like, but no.” Her words come out in a tumble, scanning the scene before her. It looked bad, she could see that, and she scrounges to fix the other woman’s impression.

“I know what I’m doing.”

@caeloms  ||  THRILLER & CRIMINAL STARTERS

“And yet…it looks like you really have no idea.” Still, Callie makes no move to actually help. She gets the impression the other wouldn’t accept it yet anyway. So she stays perched on the stool, simply watching. “Tell me when you’re ready to stop messing it up.” Her tone is casual, eyes flicking back to her phone, giving the other room to admit defeat.
