ask meme - “How did this happen?” - Jack & Max // @cavernovs
“you really need to ask ??” she snorts, joints cracking as she stretches her arms above her head. “your mouth happened.” jack’s ability to talk utter shit had been apparent from the first time she’d met him. the first time she’d heard the ominous threats made in the hallway of halfway to nowhere. whether he got off on getting under people’s skin or simply enjoyed the sound of his own voice, the vampire was quite the wordsmith.
after their last encounter, max had hoped to avoid ever seeing him again. two against one had been unfair odds. especially when ambushed. but this was different; he almost seemed happy to see her. like he knew she’d at least put up a fight. and the challenges had seemingly rolled off his tongue just as quickly as the last time. at least now, she was on her own turf.
the ring was her second home. every fight within it was tactical, it channelled every fibre of the anger that she kept buried and turned it into something useful. in the ring, she barely felt when the punches landed, when her bones broke. it was a frenzy; adrenaline taking over. and having a do-over, the opportunity to show this vamp that she wasn’t just some weak little pup that was easy to break...yeah it didn’t take much to convince her. “so are we doing this, or are you just going to stand there and look pretty ??” max raises her brow, a wicked grin splitting across her features, as she beckons for him to attack.
