"Leave me here! Go! Hurry! I can handle it." [Victorian!AU abnormal hunting?]
"No, I refuse." Nikola grabbed her arm with a determined look. "If anyone should go, it’s you. You won’t survive another one of its attacks. I can catch up soon enough."

name: Eloise (Psst, I'm Simlead. XD) nickname: El, Eloise-y. birthday: 21st February gender: Female sexuality: Heterosexual, at the moment, but I don't think I should be 100% sure of that. height: 169cm (*hysterical laughter*). time zone: GMT+1. what time and date is it there: 10:12 - 02.09.2014. average hours of sleep: 5-11 (depending on the day, my emotional state and my determination to get things done). OTPs: I don't pick favourites, but I do ship some things more than others (e.g. I'd ship two things but I'd feel more strongly about one of them). And then there are times when I'm focusing on art/fanfiction in a certain fandom so the ships in that fandom become 'active': Scarase, Teslen and Sam/Jack. And I had to say those otherwise this'd be a OTTPs post. One Thousand True Pairings. No, no, I don't mean Over The Top Pairings. Why on earth would you think that? :P first word to come to mind: Brink. I don't even know anymore... last thing i said to my family: 'It's got extra flouride in it, hasn't it?' We're talking about a specialist toothpaste. one place that makes me happy and why: Hmm... Home will do but I'd like one of those garden seats/sofas that swing. XD how many blankets do I sleep under: One (varies between a blanket, duvet or just a sheet) and two if I'm drastically cold. favourite beverage: Cold, it's apple and blackcurrant juice. Warm, it's hot chocolate.

Tip of the day: yes it's perfectly normal to make a videoclip for your favourite character's birthday and to fix some things in the process (took out half of it because well I got used to it but rap is pretty much to ask of Helen if you ask me xD)
First time I did something like this, maybe not the last, who knows? :P Anyway, point is happy birthday Helen and I hope you like this (I know you're probably used to Gershwin singing you serenades and whatnot on your birthday but if you never heard about Within Temptation until now, you should)
"I beg to differ." She says, stepping forward to take up Nikola's hand and to tug him gently back to her side. "He's a brilliant man and an ingenious inventor, and he's the bravest I've ever seen with what he's had to deal with." She spoke, firmly, her temper rising as evident by the colouring in her cheeks. "He's the absolute opposite of a mistake and I'm sorry you think that - but I . . . I love him. Very much so. And I intend to marry him and support him in everything he sets out for."
Nikola took a few slow steps backwards, gripping Helen’s hand more firmly in his. He wasn’t sure which had left him more shocked: his father’s outburst or Helen’s retaliation. He wasn’t sure about much (not counting the way his eyes had begun to ‘water’ in such a convenient manner).
"You’re welcome to him," his father spat. "Heed my warning - he’ll consume your life. I have poured penny after penny into his upbringing and the thank you I receive? An ungrateful son. I’d rather have your brother in your place."
"Stop," the younger Tesla choked out. His shoulders shook but he fought to hold it together. "If I’m such a disappointment, don’t attend the ceremony."
[Because they definitely attend balls together.] "May I have this dance?"
"It'd be a pleasure to dance with you, Miss." Nikola offered a hand to the woman in front of him. The ballroom was noisy, so he found the confidence to speak to the beautiful woman he'd eyed earlier - her eyes were sharp and her hair richly- coloured. "But I'm sure you'd rather dance with the other men in this room."

Nikola blinked, pulling his eyelids laboriously back open. Lights burned his gaze. It felt like he hadn’t moved in an eternity. Swallowing, he found that his throat was drier than a desert. The world around him was hot and cold, a blur of pale and dark. Silent but for the sharp sounds of beeping. And muffled noises his tired ears couldn’t reach.
There was a figure beside him, but the colours and shapes weren’t too clear. He could swear he knew who it was. “Helen…” he croaked. One thin, shaking hand twitched at his side. “Tell me you’re here. Tell me you’re really here.” His eyes watered up a little - he tried to blink them back. Not now, not now.
