@wynterhxney said ❛ i’m starved for you, morning and night. ❜- for anyone

'Then stop avoiding me,' Easier said than done really. The classic it's not you it's me had transpired between her and Derek much to her dismay. She had been afraid of it. Thinking he wasn't worthy to be with her because she was part of this family/ Full of wealth and some status she only had because of her last name. In his absence Hazel had made the terrible decision to fall into the arms ---and bed --- of her enemy. Damien Balor. Unable to resist that tiny bit of charm thrown her way. But she still longed for Derek. To be with him above all else. She was stuck. 'I've been starved of you too.'

@forelysiiium cont. from here

for hazel? cade made living in that home become bearable. her father hated her, wanted nothing to do with her even more so after her mother's untimely death. and even though emrys was there, the girl was utterly alone for so long. starter to only speak when she needed to, kept to herself often enough. but when cade came on board to the home things changed a little. he was nice to her, never once treated her any differently and for that she was eternally grateful. slowly he became someone she could trust. someone to lean on and someone she quietly admired from afar. it was hard not to. this handsome, older gentleman who seemed to hate everyone but her. it was impossible for her to not feel a certain way towards him. more so when he'd began teaching her little ways to defend herself. taught her how to hold a gun properly, how to shoot it heaven forbid she needed to. she didn't like it, but she retained that knowledge, and he'd put a pistol in her nightside table just in case.

this sort of thing, it didn't happen often, the only time hazel had been part of something like this was when her dad and uncle had been killed. but she and emrys had hid. she didn't have that luxury this time. not when it happened so fast. not when that man burst into her room so fast, wielding that knife with such a sinister smile. hazel panicked, unable to think clearly for a moment and it gave than man a chance to lunge at her, grab at her and try to wrestle her to the ground. but she was a tough cookie, fought it hard enough that the man's waving hands caused that knife to slip across her cheek. her wits came back to her with the pain, rushing for her nightside table and pulling that gun out so fast, clicking the safety off. that man, he laughed and took a few more steps toward her. hazel was shaking, pure fear and adrenaline running through her veins and before she knew it she'd pulled the trigger when he'd gotten too close. close enough that the blood spatter hit her and the man dropped straight down onto her bedroom floor. she stared, wide eyed in horror at what she'd just done, when a voice came through to her. she startled, gun pointing towards the voice. it took a moment but her mind registered that it was cade, bloody nose and all, and her panted breaths filled the sound in the room. 'c-cade,' she stuttered, but she still had the gun raised with shaking hands, unable to lower it. she should be relieved to see him but she's not. she's horrified at what she'd had to do. 'he-- he came at me i--i killed him.' and the panic is clear in her voice. she hadn't wanted to kill him but he was dead on her floor in a pool of crimson.

@wynterhxney : "Shut up!" Derek & Hazel

Whatever they'd been arguing about? Gone. Didn't matter as her back hit the wall. Rough but not enough to wind her. As lips crash to hers after the outburst from him to just shut up. Hazel is stunned for only half a second before she's responding in kind, hands grabbing onto his waist to pull him against her before they slip up to hold the back of his neck. No room to pull away, not just yet anyway. Anger and frustration is replaced with need and lust. She doesn't know how long they go on like that, like its a competition on who could devour the other first. Hazel only breaks away when her lungs ache for a proper intake of air, and even then she doesn't stray far. Keeping the tight hold on him so he doesn't step away from her. She doesn't want to shatter this moment because she's wanted this for a little while now. Has wanted to trust Derek from that first night. A fear still in the back of her mind that she could never fully trust anyone. 'Took you long enough,' Out of breath from the the intensity of that kiss. A teasing smirk lingering on her lips that brush his as she speaks.

a family day was in order and much needed. pretty soon hazel would be having the baby and they all wanted a day together before things went a little chaotic with a new addition to the house with just a week left until her due date. the poor girl was just now very over being pregnant and unable to see her feet, but she was still smiling and that’s what mattered. emrys and eden were cuddled up on the couch, abigail on the floor playing with her duck and gunner, while she and grant occupied the other couch. emrys had not been the happiest about gunner at first but he slowly came around, liking the idea of having a guard dog in some ways. and the lab didn’t only just help grant. any time any of them were having some trouble gunner was right there doing what he did best. hazel shimmied her way off the couch, insisting she go and get a drink for herself despite grant telling her he’d go and the moment she was on her feet, the doorbell rang. ‘i’ll get it, i’m already up.’ she told them and headed to the front door. the guys were given the day off or else they would have gotten it. hearing the click of nails behind her, she looked and spotted gunner following her. he followed her everywhere these days.

as hazel opened the door she was met with a face she didn’t recognize, but instantly felt uncomfortable. ‘can i help you?’ she asked, hand resting against her very large belly, almost in comfort. ‘well i hope so miss. i was hoping to find my-’ but the man was cut short as gunner’s growling became very prominent. hazel looked down and saw the lab bowing into a low stance, the growl growing louder and he inched to stand in front of her. ‘gunner hey-’ but hazel realized the lab had only done this once before, and his instinct had been right. this man wasn’t good at all, and she took a step back, hand clutching the door. ‘sir i think you need to leave.’ she said a bit timidly. ‘ma’am i’m only-’ but he was interrupted again as the lab barked multiple times in succession. @intheirabsence​

@intheirabsence​​ sent in stop being so fucking dramatic for hazel and grant

‘Excuse me?’ Out of everything he could have said to her, that was probably the worst thing. ‘What the fuck is wrong with you, Grant? You could have been fucking killed and you’re calling me dramatic for calling you out on your recklessness?’

@intheirabsence​​ !

one week after that event, hazel’s engagement to julian was announced everywhere. and now, just a week after that, the day of the wedding had arrived. two weeks, the princess had two weeks of sneaking out every night to meet grant, to learn to be able to defend herself. they had almost been caught twice, and each night her feelings for him grew more and more. she was able to learn a few things, but she knew neither of them were happy with how little time they got. not long before the start of the ceremony, emrys made his way up to his sisters room, wanting to make sure she was fairing well enough. he felt like he had barely seen her in the last two weeks, since she was constantly being dragged around for this and that. 

he was able to speak to her, try and give her some words of encouragement, that she would be okay, that if he could stop it for her he would. that last one was whispered in her ear as he hugged her, out of ear shot from their mother. emrys had tried to find eden after that but couldn’t find her, assuming she would have been setting up in the ball room for the reception. they had spent nearly every night since the ball sneaking to see each other, mostly to talk but also sharing a few more stolen kisses.

hazel was not fairing well. she had been fine up until today, had been able to push the thoughts from her mind. pretend it wasn’t really happening. but now it was unavoidable. she was about to marry a man she despised. tomorrow she would be leaving the only home she had ever known, leaving behind the man she truly loved and couldn’t even tell him that she did. she tried to let emrys’s words sink in, let them calm her down but didn’t work as well as they both had hoped. 

the next hour flew by even faster and before she knew it, the king was walking her down the aisle straight to julian. he looked handsome enough, but she knew better than to believe the pretty lie he painted for everyone else in the room. the prince had a temper, one he hadn’t been afraid to show her one night during the week of their engagement. she had never told grant about it or her mother for that matter, because her mother wouldn’t care. and she didn’t want to worry grant with it. she would be okay, she could handle herself now. at least she hoped.

the ceremony droned on, and the princess could feel her panic rising more and more, hands clasped together before her to try and keep them from shaking. every moment she could steal she was scanning the crowd for her knight. for grant. for him to come and save her from this. ‘your highness?’ came the voice of the priest, and hazel blinked, looking over to him. they were staring at her and it was clear she had been asked a question. ‘do you take prince julian as your lawfully wedded husband?’ the priest asked again. she was about to open her mouth to respond but the words got caught in her throat.

:ONE YEAR LATER :

@intheirabsence​

one year. one very long year later, which was saying something considering they were immortal​. hazel never stayed too far away though, far enough to be undetected, but closer enough that she could still keep an eye on the home. over time her wounds had healed, her magic able to close them, bring some of her strength back. she never once regretted not taking the power eden had offered her. she would have killed the poor girl if she had, and too much dark had already befallen all four of them that she couldn’t have bared anymore.

 she could walk normally, with the occasional stiffness. the scars on her shoulder had dulled to white, though sometimes she had phantom pain. stay among humans long enough and you started to feel like you were one of them. she had a home, a garden she tended to, she kept to herself, all the while trying to find a way to get back to that home, to get back to him.

the only kind thing emrys did in that year was pull grant out of the hellhound form not long after hazel had disappeared into the woods, after eden had shifted and ran off to hell knows where. he may have been a monster, but he was aware of the mental strain that the hunter would go through if he stayed a hound, and well, he still needed the hunter to do his bidding. grant was still confined to the house when he wasn’t needed.

 what he wasn’t expecting was to feel as hollow as he did. the god always felt hollow, but this was different, a deeper, wider hole in his black soul. he had grown fond of the girl’s company. of having his sister home and by his side. 

but the god of death was still just that. everything he touched, everything he came to know, to like, to love, was burned to ashes at his feet. over the millennia he had tried to change, tried to be different, but he always fell back into his dark ways. emrys spoke only when he needed to now, voice almost foreign to him every time.  today was no different. one of his men was talking to him when outside there was howling. cerberus perked up from his corner in the office, growling lowly. emrys stood, walking to the window, the howling and barking growing louder. ‘wolves?’ the other man in the room asked. emrys turned away from the window, moving as quick as he could to the front doors.

@intheirabsence​​ continued from here

parties were just part of this life. one every two or three months to remind everyone who was in charge, who still ran this town. the wealthy elite were always in attendance. this was the first time hazel and emrys’s guardians were there with them though, and despite the fact that they had argued earlier, hazel kept grant’s amulet right where it always was. she was doing her best to avoid him, even when the dress she was wearing had been picked out especially for him to see. which didn’t matter because he apparently didn’t even want to be there in the first place. it wasn’t like hazel wanted to show him off, like so many other’s would have done. she just wanted his presence there beside her more than anything. and hearing him tell her he didn’t want to go had angered her more than it should have, and the shouting match ensued. 

that gun shot rang out and hazel was on instant alert, hand pulling her own weapon from her thigh holster. she had lost emrys, and her instinct told her the sound had to do with him. she followed the the yelling to the crowded middle of the ballroom, doing her best to shove her way through the throng of guests congregating together. ‘move!’ she shouted more than once, pushing people out of the way with sharp jabs of her elbow.  finally she got the the front of the crowd, eyes widening at the sight of eden on her knees, cradling emrys in her lap. the blood stain blooming across the lower half of his white shirt. but almost as quick, eden was suddenly gone, the lingering shout of ‘dismissed.’ still echoing around the room, and her eyes snapped up to see catarina rossi holding eden’s amulet. this was bad.

hazel stepped closer, gun pointed directly at catarina’s chest, trying her best to remain calm and focused. ‘drop it.’ she commanded to the blonde, who simply raised an eyebrow at her and chuckled. ‘i don’t think so hazel. the angel is mine now, and i think you have bigger problems to deal with. you’re dear sweet brother is losing a lot of blood.’ she cooed to hazel, eyes dipping down to emrys for a brief moment, and hazel so badly wanted to do the same, make sure he was alright. this was supposed to be her job, keeping him safe and she failed.

she was so fixated on catarina, staring down her, that she didn’t notice someone creeping up behind her. emrys tried to reach a weak arm out to her, but he was already feeling so tired, barely registering what had just happened. it happened so quick, the cold steel pressing into her neck and lips to her ear. ‘move and i won’t hesitate to slit your throat.’ it was a males voice, once she knew all too well. ‘julian.’ she hissed through her teeth, eyes still trained on the blonde. it wasn’t an idle threat. she knew if she so much as breathed wrong she’d be dead. she blinked and felt the snap of the necklace as it was broken away and pulled from her neck. this was a set up, and hazel felt like a fool for falling right into the trap.
