the cuter twin

Seeing her now was a blessing, but the news that came with her made him wish they could have been human. How sweet it would be to live in ignorance of the world’s destruction. Vinny took her hands and kissed her forehead, “We’re not going to let that happen. I will shred through anyone that comes after you.” He set a building on fire for Tsura, but he would destroy the Earth just for Ari.

Vinny looked back toward the small Haven he called home for several months now. The impending doom sparked something in him and he needed her to give him time, “Please tell me I can say goodbye to her? Lily…”

Ariella shuddered at his promise, knowing he wouldn’t let anything get to her. It was strange how she took his words like they were written in stone. It was this bond they shared, a “mate” bond she learned it was called. Years ago she would have laughed at the idea of belonging to somebody, but she was utterly and completely his. But he couldn’t protect everyone, and her dreams were prophecy. 

“Vinny, no one can know...” she starts but his expression, the longing for the little girl who’d captured his heart, and the reluctance to leave her... She couldn’t say no. “Go, I’ll be here. But be quick, okay?”

It’s a blow he’s not willing to show, but the secrecy hurt. Did he ever hide things from her? He’s not sure whether or not he can even remember, but now he kind of wants to. “Well, I hope whoever it is, they aren’t a bad person.”

Leo runs he hands through his hair when she’s not looking, now stressed as he thinks back to when they started drifting apart. Was it something he did? When she’s facing him again, he can’t stop himself from reassuring her he’ll always be here, “Just… promise me you won’t hide like Tsura did if anything happens? I can’t be a proper brother if we hide things from each other.”

Ariella hated making him feel like this. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, she trusted him more than any other soul on this planet. She didn’t want to disappoint him. Staring at him, she tries to come up with something to say that doesn’t sound like a blatant lie. 

“Leo, I...” And then it’s all she can think about, the way Tsura and Vinny hurt each other. But Vinny was different now, and he loved her. Not Tsura. She swallows thickly. “Yeah, I promise.” Smiling at him one last time, she digs into her sandwich.

Strong willed. Headstrong. Stubborn.

Ariella had been called all of these things, especially by her teachers and her parents and basically any adult who had a part in raising her. Usually with a degree of distaste for that quality in her, or frustration. She’d always figured it was that lovely quality that would keep her from having a healthy, functioning relationship. She always wanted to be in charge, couldn’t share in making decisions. Who could put up with that? 

She looks up at him now, arms above her head and a glow travelling underneath her exposed skin. His eyes are the kindest she’s ever known, and when they’re on her they’re full of an affection she almost can’t handle. Her smile easily inspires his own, and she loves the way his lips curl around her name.

You’ve been kissed by shadows. You’ve crossed over into death, into the other side, and returned. Don’t you think that leaves a mark on the soul? That’s why you’re not afraid to show your feelings, Rose, your passion, your anger. That’s what makes you remarkable.

Dan laughs and puts a hand on her shoulder to keep her still, “Listen, I’m not exactly considered a teacher here, so I couldn’t say.” He sighs and decides she’s probably just going to have to learn the hard way, so he steps away to start the warm up.

“I’ve always been against confrontation, and advice was definitely more Elijah’s thing.” With his arm stretched above his head, he decides not to bring up Noah as an example of what not to do, “Maybe you could just call them out on it in front of staff… or find them off school property. Oh wait… but your mom…” Dan sucks in a breath and stretches his other arm over his head, “Good luck getting out of trouble with her?”

Ariella loved her Tio Dan, but sometimes he was clueless. She stares at him with an exaggerated pout. "Right..." Huffing, she begins her stretches. Dan never went easy on her, and she appreciated that. Sometimes she didn't find the training here challenging enough and the Hopkins were always held to a higher standard. Not to mention with her being part witch, she still had to prove some people wrong about her. They'd do anything to see her fail. 

Finally ready, she stands tall in front of him. One foot forward, body half turned to face him with her fists up by her chin and center. He'd always been her favorite, her mother used to tell her stories about how she'd choose Dan over anyone else in the room when she was a child. It's not surprising to her now, save for Leo, he was still the person she ran to when she needed something.

“What would I do without you?” I crouch down and squeeze her in a hug, as I do seeing our whole life together: her tiny infant toes and scalp that smelled like baby powder; the first time she tottered over to me; the first time she rode a bike and fell and scraped her knee, and when I saw all that blood on her, I almost died from fright, and I carried her all the way home. And I see beyond it, strangely, glimpses of her in the other direction: Izzy grown tall and gorgeous with one hand resting on a steering wheel, laughing; Izzy wearing a long green dress and picking her way in heels toward a waiting limousine on her way to prom; Izzy loaded down with books as the snow swirls around her, ducking into a dorm, her hair a golden flame against the white.

Dan quirked an eyebrow and folded his arms. It’s obvious she’s still bothered because her body language is easy to read. Thinking back, Dan remembered Gabe always told him to keep his emotions in check during a fight or something could go terribly wrong. Dan learned that the hard way… twice, so he follows Ari to the middle of the area. “Listen, shake it out for a minute if you need to. The Derringers have always been this way, like, honestly I can’t remember a time when they were nice.”

Ari is buzzing with her anger. Bouncing on her tiptoes by the time he reaches her. "They're a bunch of pricks," she says fiercely, shaking her hands at her sides. "Evil, manipulative pricks." 

She stops to eye him, "If I kick their ass, how much trouble do you think I'll get in?" However much, it seemed like it'd be worth it. No one said that shit about her mother and got away with it.

Even though his brain is screaming at him telling him this is wrong not only because he’s her prisoner, but also because what if this turns out to be just like his relationship with Tsura. Their relationship was too much, it turned from passionate love to extreme loathing yet they stayed together until her siblings stepped in. Then he fought back and burned down a building for her to win her back. He was insane, he’s supposed to be in here getting better. He thinks she is not supposed to be here, but his feelings for Ari far surpass anything he’s ever felt before. He could sit here and think: what if this happened or would he ever do that to her? His brain thinks she is dangerous, but something in him won’t let her go.

Before he can comprehend anything, he’s pushing her back towards the cabin while helping her take off her clothes. Who knows what anyone would say if they saw the two by the lake doing anything other than talking, but leaving the clothes all over the place wouldn’t help to hide anything they were about to get up to. “There’s something so magic about you, it’s been so fucking hard keeping my hands to myself.” Vinny yanks his own shirt off and tosses it to the side before he moves to her body again to reconnect for their shared warmth. 

Vinny made her feel different. Worldly, like she could seduce him with a look when she'd barely gotten further than second base in the past. Sure, there were rumors about her and what she's gotten up to, but none of them were true. Now here Vinny was making her believe she could make his eyes roll into the back of his head. She giggles as she trips trying to hop out of her jeans. But when he grabs her again, she's steady and he's shirtless. His words send shivers down her spine, and embolden her. 

"Do me a favor, Vin," she murmurs, reaching back to tug on his hair. "Don't ever resist your instincts again." She wanted everything he had to give her, even if she had no idea what that was. It just felt right. It felt fucking amazing. As they stumble up the steps to the cabin’s porch, she turns to kiss him. It’s sloppy, hot mouth sliding against his as she tries to commit his taste to memory. She shrieks as one misstep has them tumbling onto the porch floor, just inches from the door. 

And now she’s below him, curls spread wildly about her face and chest heaving. There’s a flame licking her skin, a glow igniting beneath it like the sun was trapped in her chest and spreading fast. She gasps when she sees it, leaning up on her elbow. “Well that’s new,” amazement in her voice. Looking into his eyes now, she looks for some answer there. Something inside of her was responding to him, and it was fucking intense. Dragging her fingertips along his shoulder, she watched the glow crackle as it came into contact with his skin. And the resounding electric pulse went straight between her thighs. She moans his name, open mouthed with her forehead pressed against his.

Being alone was difficult in this house. Anywhere he turned there would be someone looking at him or someone else wanting to talk to him. After awhile some of them finally warmed up to him because they realized like everyone else that people could change. Scarlet was helpful in making them realize it, but sometimes he preferred to just be alone.

It’s dark and he should be inside, but right now he almost wished he was back in his painting. Back where he and Ari could see each other every day. He misses her. So much that he can smell her and at first he thinks it’s not real, like his brain just went awry for a moment, but no that’s definitely close. When he turns around he sees her running toward him, so he meets her in the middle.

Vinny doesn’t give her enough time to say anything before he’s wrapping his arms around her and kissing her. He had ignored her distress until he opened his eyes to really get a look at her. She smelled anxious and worried, he doesn’t apologize for the greeting he just stares, “What’s wrong?”

She forgets, if only for a second. Lets herself get lost in his scent and his taste. Vincent Tendoy was like a drug to her, and she still didn’t understand why he had this effect on her. Ari was convinced it was a werewolf thing, some weird mating shit. Taking a steadying breath, she holds his face between her hands chill from the wind. It was biting at her nose too, turning it a bright pink. 

“I’m going to die,” she says. And it’s not a concern, the way she expresses it. She says it like it’s a fact, because it is. She saw it. “We’re all going to die.”

The dreams come rushing back to her, somehow more vivid than her visions. His dead body, her own. Leo’s and Tsura’s. Her mom and dad. Lily. Looking into his eyes finally, she lets him see her fear. It is palpable, and it is full of dread. “We have to go. Now.”
