        @thedevilsgateway said:                “ You’re an angel! How shall I ever thank you? ” - Lucien

            Cami did not try to keep her lip from curling in distaste, but she did press her lips tightly together to restrain any immediate words that might leap from her tongue before she had the opportunity to rein in her temper. Though she did not fear him, not truly, she was like wise no fool. She knew that every time she challenged him, she risked tipping him into violence. She knew that it was only a matter of time until he decreed her no longer worth the effort. The least she could do was choose her battles wisely in the hopes of buying herself a little more time. 

            Time to escape. Time for someone to find them, here. She did not dare make assumptions that anyone would be out looking for her. Her friends, after all, all had greater matters to attend to than one missing human. She did allow herself a small retort, however, much tamed from her initial intention:    ❛ You can start by not thanking me. ❜

      And just like that, he’s compelled away her ‘date’ for the evening. Her gaze narrows, but it’s half-hearted-- she’s neither surprised, nor really bothered. She hadn’t expected to see him here, so this is a pleasant surprise. “Lucien. I wasn’t finished.”

@thedevilsgateway​  ♥’d small starter call ( for Bonnie )

[storieswrittcnarc]

@thedevilsgateway​ liked for a starter from Klaus Mikaelson

Bonnie Bennet. Not someone who often seeks out his aid, if ever. She’s a powerful witch, he’ll give her that, but she has no business being here. Unless she’s looking to get killed. Or perhaps she needs his help? Either way, it’ll be interesting, won’t it? “Well, isn’t this a surprise. Is there any reason, in particular, you’ve decided to barge into my home?”

@thedevilsgateway​ / liked for a starter [ Elijah & Gia ]

“I am being perfectly civil.” Elijah of course wasn’t counting the couple of dead bodies that now littered the floor, nor the fresh blood on his hands that he was in the process of cleaning off. “They were the ones behaving rather rudely, don’t you think?” The Original looked up at Gia, awaiting a response...

          ❛ And why not? ❜    She danced upon thin ice, precariously close to shattering it. Perhaps there was just a dash of alcohol in her veins, making her reckless. Perhaps the isolation of the past week, the constant anxiety borne of not knowing how her friends fared, had worn more strongly upon her sanity than she had realized. 

              ❛ Because it makes you angry? Because it bruises your precious ego? What are you going to do, Lucien? Kill me? Because so far you’ve gone out of your way not to kill me. I don’t know why you’re so determined to hold me hostage --- whether it’s out of some twisted, messed up fascination or because you mistakenly think that holding me here will give you some leverage over Klaus --- and whatever it is, I’m sure there is a limit to my usefulness, but killing me undoes whatever your aims are in holding me here. ❜ 

            Cami was no fool; she knew that they teetered dangerously close to the limit of her usefulness, the point at which the benefits of holding her hostage and keeping her alive were outweighed by the inconvenience. And if Lucien had a temper anything like his sire, she would do well not to provoke it. False bravado, desperation for an end to present circumstances, and the sharp waning of her temper spurred her on, however.    ❛ You’ve forgotten something, Lucien: I know Klaus, and you don’t scare me. ❜

“Strip for me. Now.”  ( Gia )

     “Mm... A show of strength does it for you, hm?” Still blood splattered, Elijah’s lips curl upwards into a grin as he turns to look at her, the heart that had been held in his hand dropped to the ground without another thought. He steps toward her, notes the dilated pupils and the quickened breathing, and his smile only widens. “Perhaps you should ask me nicely.”

starter for @thedevilsgateway​! ( damon and bonnie. )

“You’ve been staring at me like a deer in headlights for over fifteen minutes now.” Damon leaned down, lifting the now dead man’s body beneath the arms. “I killed him. Yeah, I get that. But, he deserved it. He was trying to kill you!”
