EvaJacks and their weird friends (3)
Evangeline Fox x Jacks of The Hollow
And Luc who appears at the most random times
Jacks knows he’s trying to be a better person for his adorable girlfriend. And that she doesn’t like any kind of violence. So, he would definitely be reprimanded if she found out what was going through his mind. Shame for her, he likes when she reprimands him.
But at the moment he’s trying to find a way to contour his girlfriend’s rules. As he looks at the darker man and feels his sanity vanish the longer, he lingers around.
You see, Luc has found out about The Hollow being open to people passing by. Somehow. And thought it would be a great idea to drop by and maybe stay at the inn. The nerve of this guy. Jacks wants to do so many unthinkable things to him. The only thing holding him back is the angel in front of him.
Evangeline is at the counter of The Hollow, telling Luc that sadly he has to pay for his stay. Since The Hollow lost its magic, all the food and other basic needs of the guests have to come from her and her boyfriend’s pocket. As they go to the local market to restock the inn and make it run. They have to be able to run it somehow.
The former fate glares heavily behind the petite girl. Looming close behind her, as he leans his arms on either side of her, on the counter. Keeping a large stand to intimidate the newly turned vampire. Letting his murdering thoughts spill on his eyes. Hoping that will make the other go away.
Unfortunately for him, Luc doesn’t seem to have a sense of self preservation. As he continues to stay in front of the couple, leaning on the counter as if he doesn’t have any care in the world.
Pleading with Evangeline to let him stay and trying to get her to pity him since he has no money and no place to stay in the moment. Jacks tells him very rudely to go back to Chao’s place. Which earns him a look from the sweetness that continues to stay between him and the counter.
As they have a brief silent talk through their gazes, Jacks’s mind starts wandering off to not so friendly thoughts. Thinking about what he could do with his girl at that same very counter, would they be alone.
He only comes back to his senses when he hears her tell the sad excuse of a man, he can stay if he pays with a little bit of labor. She can’t be serious! Has she forgotten what he has done? He doesn’t want him anywhere near her. But of course, as the angel she is, she believes in second chances. He’s ready to commit murder. He knows so many different ways to hide a body.
Yet, he finds himself letting the other man stay, even though he really doesn’t want to, as Evangeline talks to him.
Being very convincing in her arguments. And Jacks finds a flaw he has. As he realizes what exactly happened last night. It’s not fair of her to turn his brain to mush like that and talk him into doing stuff. When he’s not in his right mind and they have no clothes on.
When did she learn to be like this? Where did she learn this kind of thing? Oh yes, probably from him. Or her books. It was actually probably from her romance books. Dammit! Now he has to endure Luc’s presence. Just his lucky day. Seems like he won’t leave his girlfriend’s side for how long the vampire is present.
Luc on his account is terrible at everything. Burning all the food he tries to make. Or making something so horrible that it doesn’t even look like food anymore. So, he’s moved into washing dishes. Which ends up being as bad. He ends up breaking more dishes than washing them. And the ones he accomplishes to wash, are done so in such a suspicious way Evangeline ends up washing it again. Just to make sure no one will catch any disease. She gives him different tasks. And he fails miserably at all of them.
She starts regretting letting him stay. With that in mind, she tells herself she will talk to him. Jacks encourages her to kick him out, eager to get rid of him. But she says that they will compromise. All that flies out the window when she sees his real intentions to wanting to stay at The Hollow.
One day, when it becomes just the three of them at the inn, Luc reveals his hand. Thinking this was his chance since Eva was napping in one of the many couches in the lounge and Jacks wasn’t around for once. Though he did think it was weird. The blond never left his girlfriend’s side since the vampire arrived days ago.
But thinking the coast is clear, he pounces on the sleeping girl’s form and holds her down. And when she wakes up thrashing against him, he holds her down firmly. Gently telling her he simply needs a little drink of her blood and that he will let her go afterwards.
Trying to get her to cooperate but as she continues struggling, he goes for her neck without her permission. But before he can sink his fangs into her skin, he’s harshly ripped from her. And he hits the ground hard. Jacks wants to badly to rip the bastard’s face, but he prioritizes checking up on his partner. Making sure she’s somewhat fine. And he knows even after all of this, she wouldn’t like him to brawl with Luc.
So, he tells him to get lost. More like screams it. But the point is made. Luc scrambles for the door without another word.
The couple stay silent for some time after that, taking in what happened and calming themselves down.
And the still shaken up girl breaks the silence.
“He was terrible at everything anyways.”
Jacks just gives her a bewildering look and brings her closer to his chest.
Good thing Luc is not a very bright person and took his bait.
He gave him the opening Jacks needed to force him out of The Hollow.
