kai & hope + stuffed animal shenanigans .
car door slams abruptly , getting in . sighing , she looks into rear view mirror briefly , a silent goodbye to the property behind her . this was not the first time she had run away from the salvatore boarding school , but if hope had anything to do with it , this would be the last . teeth clamp down on bottom lip , ocean eyes drifting to find him in the driver’s seat . slight upward twitch of lips , a phantom of a smile [ . . . ] it only lasts seconds . bag is tossed with all the essentials that were not clothing or books , those having long since shoved in the trunk for safe storing . hands go to her jean - clad thighs , palms sweating and nervous . anticipation builds as this chapter of her life comes to an end .
but , unlike the typical teenage run away ; this is not a love story , they’re not fleeing together simply because they were , for lack of a better word , involved . well , it may have been a factor , but alas , that was not the entirety . no , she felt she had to get out from underneath the confines of the school ; and after two rebuilds when she and kai would rendezvous , it was just getting tiresome . besides , she was eighteen , not only that , a fully activated tribrid , intent on harnessing her power within , and on learning how to accept the fact that she was now one of the MOST POWERFUL entities on the face of the planet ; if she hadn’t been already , no longer bound by mortal coil . ❝ . . . ready ? ❞ question comes , following a shift of her focus to him .

@lore97: “ if you need anything, you know where to find me. “ from rey | meme
No one could've predicted the outcome, the utter loss of lives that were gone in an instant, and what was left was but a handful. He'd been left stunned, wordless since his feet dragged his numb body along the salt hills onto the Falcon, then straight into the furthest storage room in the back, locking himself in the dark. On the other side of the door were the sighs of the survivors, obviously grateful for the rescue, and for the chance to fight another day. He didn't intend to join them anytime soon; not even the imagined sound of his aunt's voice could soothe his spirit.
And maybe he was selfish to act as if he was the only one shattered by such tragedy, but this isolation had provided him shelter against the vulnerability he was wearing like a constricting garment. He couldn't tell how long the metal flooring at his feet had been stained with his tears. Too long, perhaps, that he didn't move a muscle when the door slid open and the figure of Rey stood in the center with the ship's lights silhouetting her frame.
He couldn't bring himself to speak just yet. He'd rather not use his own words; they'd come out mangled and broken if he so much as said a single syllable. Though, it seemed like Rey took it upon herself to remove the sullen air around them.
Laborious breath escaped his dry lips. Slowly, he lifted his face to acknowledge her presence, exhaustion and reddened eyes be damned—it was the least he could do to repay her kindness. "I'll remember that."

@lore97: brush. / dina.
the theatre is quiet, and ellie’s noticed that the only time it’s not is when the squeaking of floorboards shift slightly under her feet. they tend to allow each other to just be in their company - she thinks it’s because dina doesn’t know what to say, or if there’s anything she can say, because ellie’s shoulders slump forward and she stares over at the abandoned guitar like it’s the reason she’s here. (it was a good find - fuck, it was a great find. but she touches over the strings and she just hears joel’s laugh in her head. well, what’re the chances of that, kiddo? they would laugh, and joel’d play something stupid and old-worldy.)
they don’t have to talk. they’ve both sacrificed comfort and waking up neck-pain-free for the past few months, and the lumpy couch in the back of the theatre really hasn’t helped a single fucking bit, but when ellie sits up and rolls her neck with an arched stretch in her back, dina follows her and they sit for a while. ellie carefully reaches out for her hand and once she finds it, she sits them both in her lap and the theatre is quiet again.
hey... she hears the exertion when dina reaches out for the brush on the side - it’s a quiet, stubborn ngh born from the comb being slightly out of reach, but she finds it eventually and starts with her fingers. (it’s gentle. dina slides her fingers through the knotted mess at the back of her head before following the same thread with the comb.)
“thanks.” it’s hoarse, but ellie shifts so dina can reach and, well, it’s been a hot sec since she’s done anything since tie her hair back and hope for the best. “can’t sleep. don’t know why i thought i’d be able to.”
@lore97 : 𝐫𝐞𝐲.
her silhouette shimmered alongside the edges of the shadows, effervescent blues that carry sorrow & power in the same shade. she is the one that all of the others had talked about, the one that they had put so much faith in to restore the distorted balance in the force. she’s young, but that means little. she was also strong, determined. earthy eyes are gentle, kind as they watch her with interest. “you’re not alone, even out here.”
@lore97: you wanna make today your last day on earth? / abby.
if it’s between here - a dusty, dim-lit parking garage with veins of spores crawling out from the cracks in the walls and the stench of fucking rot criss-crossing between each car and empty fucking tank - or out there, she’ll pick here. (she can hear the slam and screech of body after body piling up against the waning garage gate, and there’s a two-inch sliver of slight that’s cracking through the bottom of the shutter door, and a tense metal chain starting to bow under the weight. fuck.)
she’s crouched down the side of one of the trucks - thanks, fedra, for using tires bigger than her entire fucking torso, because she tugs one foot up from the other and she hauls herself under the body of the vehicle. she breaths heavy, quiet, the rise and fall of her chest being the only thing she can focus on while the horde outside echoes through the entire garage - slam, fuck, god, okay, fucking think, ellie, fucking think. abby has her trapped, mostly, because there’s only a few discarded vehicles to hide behind, and three of them have been rocked onto their sides and their windows shattered out.
(she’s been tracking her for a while. body after body. one wolf to the next, and there’s a whole fucking trail of blood that she can’t quite scrub out from the soles of her converse. where is abby. where the fuck is abby. in an ideal world, they’d be alone. in an ideal world, it’d be over - one bullet between her fucking eyes, just to get it over with, or she’d grab the crowbar from the other side of the lot and show her exactly what it felt like. but it won’t happen like this. she doesn’t want to lose her, but what’s gonna happen at the end of this?)
“not until you fucking die.” it’s coupled with a single, surprisingly well-placed shot toward the garage door. it’s all a game of faith - having faith in how these fuckers work, in the way the bullet clinks against the chain and the way it loosens and whips out like a snake. the shutter shoots up and for a moment, the light is blinding, followed by the screaming of runner and clicker alike. holy fuck, that’s a lot -
(it’s an opportunity and she seizes it, yanking her backpack from under the truck and bolting out in the distraction. holy fuck, holy fuck, holy fuck.)
