❛ in my head, i pictured you to be much older ... ❜ fred had never seen her, not even when riley tore him away from the beach to meet her in the darkness so she could take his life from him. a flash of that fiery hair is all fred can remember of that night and even then, the memory is cloudy and broken, diverted by shitty human eyesight and the recollection of fire searing through his veins. fred's face is grim, lined with an unspoken fury so fierce that he can't bring himself to look at her for longer than a second. he stares at his ivory fingers instead. ❛ you stole my humanity and i don't even know your name --- it's twisted, really. ❜
