the devil within

they say the passage of time will heal all wounds, but the greater the loss, the deeper the cut and the more difficult the process to become whole again. the pain may fade, but scars serve as a reminder of our suffering and make the bearer all the more resolved never to be wounded again. so as time moves along we get lost in distractions, act out in frustration, react with aggression, give in to anger, and all the while we plot and plan as we wait to grow stronger, and before we know it, the time passes. we are healed. ready to begin anew.

“You’re about fifteen hundred years old and the word vagina bothers you?”

“it’s not the appropriate language that i’d prefer to hear from my daughter’s lips.”

[ptonkin]

People claim he’s ominous, incapable of loving from ages of being caged beneath the shadows, only shows contempt and no remorse for mortals.

“ stalk her. ”

“ yes that technique will have her running back to my arms in no time, or she’ll file a restraining order. whichever comes first. ”

“ it would seem, ” he agreed. 

“ well then, good luck navigating the world. i would suggest getting a phone as one of your priorities, i’d like the keep in touch until you’re gone. ”

hcresy:

“ you can’t win all the time, ” he pointed out. “ if she feels the same, i say go for it. ”

“ which brings us back to the problem at hand — how do i get her to speak to me ? ”

hcresy:

he expected a reaction like this, though it wasn’t his intention. in many ways, he considered klaus a friend, and it wouldn’t be a stretch to say he just wanted to see him – and camille – happy. “ relationships shouldn’t be a chore. if you haven’t found that sweet spot yet, you never will. there’s no shame in giving up. ”

“ giving up means accepting defeat — i’m not prepared to give up on what we had. ” as stubborn as he was he truly did believe the two had something worth saving, even if camille didn’t seem to think so.

“ then i would feel compelled to accept your offer. ”

“ wonderful, it would seem we have ourselves an arrangement. ”

alessiaxmikaelson:

“Oh god. Grandchildren? Is that what you’re concerned about? You’re barking up the wrong tree, pal. I’m not pushing anything out of my vagina and if I ever do you’re going to have to raise it until it’s, like, tolerable.”

“ i could’ve gone without hearing that, love. it’s a good thing you’re not an only child. ”

[thebigbadwclf]

alessiaxmikaelson:

“That’s good. I’m not quite ready for your departure either.”

“ i’d hope not. i still don’t have any grandchildren. ”

[thebigbadwclf]

anselscn:

“ that’s not necessary. ”

“ and if i told you i’m not willing to take no for an answer ? ”

[thebigbadwclf]

anselscn:

“ trust me. i just want to find out what sort of magic has forced me back to life. you won’t be seeing much of me. ”

“ since it serves both our interests i’ll offer my assistance. ”

[thebigbadwclf]

hcresy:

“ then you’re not good for her. ”

he pursed his lips, the anger clear on his face. what spurred his rage even more was that he knew the other was right. he wasn't good enough for him. " how dare you. "

theo wasn’t a fool. behind his timid behavior was a sharp mind, and in this instance, he couldn’t believe the story that was weaved.. but it was laid out clear. “ so that’s why, ” he said under his breath, an almost amused sigh. “ it’s nice to meet you, too, brother. ”

“ now, i don’t know about you but i would like the keep this family reunion as short as possible. the sooner you leave the better. ”

[thebigbadwclf]

hcresy:

“ then do it. be your best. if it’s not good enough, well.. that’s on her. ”

“ i don’t know how to be my best, not without her. ”

[thebigbadwclf]

anselscn:

there was too much happening at once. a vague air upon the others words. theo took the hand more so out of habit, not wanting to be rude. “ i don’t understand. ” 

“ allow me to explain. when our mother ‘created’ us, i killed my first mortal, which wouldn’t have been a problem unless i was a wolf. can you guess what happened next ? ”

[thebigbadwclf]

hcresy:

kai nodded. “ okay. what does she want, and what do you want ? ”

“ i don’t know what she wants but i want to do right by her. ”

[thebigbadwclf]

anselscn:

he didn’t like the feel of the conversation, or klaus’ reaction to it – but perhaps that was to be expected. considering who they were speaking of. “ ansel. ”

“ of course. ” klaus grumbled, giving the other a bitter smirk. “ my father killed your family after he found out what i was. ” he extended a hand, dark look on his features. “ nice to meet you, brother. ”
