just like her father. @saycred.
@saycred; MARTHA JONES
"two years later and you haven't changed."
with their shared background, one would suppose that she’d been caught in an ill-timed mouth off to a superior. also fitting would be to catch her pacing with a frown that was anger and desperation ribboned together. but that was their past. their present didn’t hold nearly the same type of action. neither a hospital nor an office made them hold the fate of a whole species in their hands.
all that donna had been caught in was treating her sweet tooth and trying to nudge martha into indulging. presenting herself unannounced to the doctor’s home, but not empty handed. it was extravagant, she would concede to that and nothing more.
“you can’t have been thinking i would give up?” she grins, a poor imitation of looking meek. she brings up the large triple-chocolate with vanilla fudge cake, large enough that she has to hold it with both hands, to her eye line. her twinkling eyes and raised eyebrows are barely visible. her now unabashed large grin is hidden behind the treat, but it’s heard clearly in her voice.
“c’mon now martha, i won’t even leave it here. have a cheat with me, yeah?”
echoes of rage beat along the curve of her back. resting their weight onto shoulders. pushing her down , deeper and deeper into the dirt. this is not the first time she had returned home ... the hem of her dress covered in mud. boots laced tight around her ankles. pulled on in place of delicate flats or heels such as her classmates have worn. she is a child of the forest. it’s unpredictable nature calls with every breath taken. and though half her life has been spent trying best to fit the royal mold that did not serve a higher purpose to her heart ... she is tired.
bag drops heavy onto the floor. wincing as droplets of the afternoon’s thunderstorm begin to dampen carpet. but she is more worried about the cold that’s inching it’s way around trembling ribcage. “ i’m home. ” a gentle tone that doesn’t seem to carry more than a few inches. part of her does not want to be perceived in this manner. wild eyes. untamed hair. a vision of her mother that terrifies those that had once been called friend. / @saycred for aurora. sc.
tara carpenter , no one asked you to be here!
she was right. no one had asked, because there was no one left to ask. her mother was dead, her sister and the man who had raised her both ran off, leaving tara alone. had she forgotten she was only twelve when all of this happened? or that she’s the one who reached out to him, so he could solve the mystery of what had taken her family from her? acting as if they had any other choice but to be around each other caused finley’s nostrils to flare, trying and failing to push down the anger that crept up his throat. she’s ungrateful. and her words sting, they burn him. he was trying. harder each passing day, despite her pushback, her constant complaining about the way they were always running around, never staying in one spot. he’s angry, but the guilt weighs heavier on his chest. he remembers the confusion and the hurt and the frustration when his dad moved them around, too. but how many times did he have to tell her it was for her safety? for both of their safeties? she didn’t seem to care.
‘ you’re right, no one fuckin’ asked. just like i didn’t ask to have a kid with a shitty attitude, ’ or a kid at all, for that matter. fin stood by the fact that he never should have been a father, that he never would have be. there was no room for a child in this lifestyle, and yet, he had to drag tara around from city to city just so she didn’t get hurt, and wasn’t alone. it didn’t matter. it never seemed to matter. brows are furrowed, the man’s breath more shallow than when they had started talking. he doesn’t mean to cuss at her, or raise his voice, but it seems both of them had finally reached their limit. ‘ you wanna be mad, be mad. but go do it somewhere where i can’t hear you. because you’re pissing me off, and you’re not gonna like what i have t’say if you keep yelling at me like that, ’ hand waves her off towards her bedroom. ‘ go think about why it’s so damn hard for you t’understand what i’m doing around here, ’ and then he’s turning away, back to his work. @saycred.
@saycred has liked for maggie w/ kendra.
❝ look, i don’t WANNA shoot you, but i will if you don’t tell me what you’re doing here. ❞ maggie finds it difficult to TRUST. after what happened with the saviors, and her own people? how rick just… LET HIM LIVE? and then when the bridge collapsed, she just couldn’t take it anymore. so she LEFT, to another community where she felt her and hershel would be SAFE. that was… three years ago? hershel is about four years old now, at that age where he’s really starting to UNDERSTAND things. it’s got maggie feeling A LOT more protective over her son and her people. hence the situation she’s CURRENTLY in. ❝ this place don’t just let ANYBODY in. i got people to protect. so how and WHY did you come to my gates? ❞
finley never wanted to be a father. or, rather, he realized early on that he never should be. after losing every piece of family that he had, after getting his ex fiance killed, after putting everyone he cared about in harms way because of the work he does, well... having a kid just wasn’t in the cards. it’d be too dangerous, and fin didn’t want any more blood on his hands. then he got an email from tara - a girl who’s mother had been killed under mysterious circumstances. taking hunts on a case by case basis, the only reason fin prioritized hers was because he recognized her mother’s name - christina carpenter, the woman he slept with 16 years ago ( and left shortly after he found out she was married ). with how observent fin was, it didn’t take him long to put two and two together ; tara was his daughter, and now, with her mother dead and the man who raised her gone, finley realized he had an obligation to take her with him.
four years had past since finley solved christina’s death ( rogue vampire ; easy enough to take care of once fin got out his machete ), and though tara had been with him this whole time, not much as changed between them. she still called him fin, and he still wondered every day how he ended up taking care of a teenager. ‘ how many times do i have t’say how dangerous it is before you actually hear me? ’ he’s driving his mustang at sixty down the highway, headed towards the safe house he had in new jersey. he’d be going on a hunting trip in the next town over, but he wasn’t going to let tara come, this time. some things he had to do alone. ‘ i’m not takin’ you with me, alright? you act like you’re an adult, you’re literally sixteen. you can barely drive, ’ granted, fin had just started teaching her how to, but that was beside the point. ‘ i’ll be back in three days, then we’ll, i dunno. chill for awhile. take a break, ’ he keeps his eyes on the road ahead of them. ‘ sorry, kid, i’m just doin’ what’s best for you, ’ @saycred.

her father was a murderer. gomez wasn’t the first in their family to taint their hands with blood, their ancestors had been doing so for decades. it was to no one’s surprise that a family with such a dark history would once again be caught up in a historic case gone cold. but to be convicted of a murder that wednesday wasn’t sure he even committed ? PREPOSTEROUS ! it was like cheating your way to first place, if first place came with an orange jumpsuit instead of a gold medal. if her father was to be nevermore’s most wanted, it was only fitting that he wore the title for his rightful crimes. wednesday could list plenty if the sherif would spare her a second of his time. but it didn’t matter to the man who took immense pride in hauling gomez out in flimsy handcuffs. at the very least, he could have brought in reinforcements to walk her father out with some morsel of dignity.
the courtyard scene plagued her thoughts as she perched on the edge of her bed while absentmindedly sharpening a jagged edge throwing knife. like an old film, the memory flickered uncertainly as if bits and pieces of the reel had been purposefully burned out of existence. something didn’t sit right with wednesday. and it wasn’t the fact that @saycred was pacing a hole into her dreary half of the room. for a long while, she followed her path with observant eyes until she suddenly said. ❝ mother, ❞ her flat tone broke the comforting silence. ❝ why did you never mention father’s noteworthy accomplishment before ? it’s unlike you to conceal a body count. ❞
olivia crane , why are you looking at me like that?
he isn't scared of his wife. hugh has to remind himself of that. he's scared for her ; of what's happening to her in this house. but, up until last night - when he woke up to her on top of him, threatening to stab him with a screwdriver - hugh did not fear olivia. looking at her now, he has to wonder whether or not she's the same woman who stepped into hill house weeks ago. ' where did you go? ' hugh asks over his untouched breakfast. olivia hasn't moved physically, but she isn't present at this table with him. features easily fall into concern. ' where do you keep going? it's like you're not even here, anymore, ' hugh tries to keep his voice even, though it inches upward with apprehension. ' i'm worried about you, ' @saycred.
