Her eyesight remained leveled with the sight of the blooming flowers. Raising her hand to delicately touch the tip of the flower the softness from the petal. Things seemed to grow beautifully here unlike in Manhatten. The bloom distracted her for just a minute or two before the crackle from the ground beneath the other caused her eyesight to lift. The human froze in her tracks as her eyes widen momentarily as the brunette tilted her head in curiosity. “Hello?” was finally called out in the smallest of a voice. As if a murderer would actually respond back to her. 

Riley had just finished up her latest round of herb hunting when she was making her way back to her temporary lab. Hearing a voice call out hello, she stepped forward. “Scared?” She asked curiously as she came into view of the brunette. “Also don’t touch that flower or you’ll be giving sleeping beauty a run for her money. It’s actually very poisonous. Although most beautiful things around here are.” She explained, she walked towards the brunette with her boots crushing the flowers beneath them. “I’m Riley. I’m guessing based off how scared you look that you’re not from around here?”

THE WHITELIGHTER-WITCH HUMMED, a light smirk on her plump lips, as she walked through the castle’s corridors like she was taking a tour through a potential home, not a prison. she was far from pleased about the fact that someone forced her to be somewhere she did not want to be ( yet again ), but she survived much worse. laura would get through this as well, she had no doubts about it. she simply needed to beat the queen at her own damn games. stopping in her tracks, her dark eyes were gleaming as she set them on her companion. “do tell me what you think. would you pick this place or would you suggest to keep looking? if we end up in a cage, we might as well choose the gilded one. don’t you agree?” ( @dihstarters· )

Riley didn’t even know where to beginning when it came to looking for somewhere to stay so she’d been crashing with other witches and warlocks in the mean time. Plus in reality who knew how long they’d actually be stuck here before the queen crew bored of them. Despite her hesitance to settle down she had went along with Laura to look at potential homes. At Laura’s words Riley shrugged. “I mean it’s home, but nothing actually feels like it’s going to be even close to home or comfortable.” Riley admitted. “Although I’m sure it will do the job, it is decent.” Trying to find some type of upside even though she wasn’t sure there was one. “I mean is there anything else listing wise that we could look at?” It wasn’t that she was unimpressed, just nothing in this realm had lived up to what she wanted for herself or fellow witches.

“Are you sorry? Or are you just saying that because you miss someone giving you attention? Because from where I’m standing right now it seems like you just miss me giving you attention and this is a half assed apology you’re hoping I’ll accept because I accepted it before.” Mara snapped, she knew that she should have backed down by now but she needed to get this out once and for all. Holding all of this resentment in wasn’t doing anyone favors especially herself. “What Nick?” Asking with annoyance, she looked up at him once more when he said her name. At his words she gave a cold laugh and she shook her head. Letting her face soften for a moment and she put up her hand to stop him. “Stop. If you think I don’t know who you are by now you’re wrong. I’ve always known.” Running a hand through her hair and she sighed heavily. “I made an effort to get to know you, but you never made one to get to know me on your end. You always just wanted me to be that cool girl you met in the coffee shop who took off her underwear for you, if I wasn’t that person you seemed to have a problem with it. Even though you repeatedly told me it was okay to not be that person all the time, it wasn’t.” Keeping her voice calm while she explained everything to him, she honestly was too tired for this anymore. It seemed if everyone only wanted one side of her, if she didn’t give them that then she was useless. Snatching her wrist away before he could touch her and she took a step back, letting him know that this wasn’t okay or welcomed anymore. “Don’t.” She spoke coldly, she narrowed her eyes at him. “Bullshit Nick. Bull fucking shit. If you wanted to try you would have by now, but here you are sitting on your ass flipping through a magazine. You only want to try because I’m standing here in front of you. Once I walk away you’ll go back to your life and that’s fine. We’re both better for it in the end.” Rolling her eyes at his words, she shook her head at him once again. “You’re not giving up? You gave up months ago so don’t worry I won’t hold my breath. If I did I would have surly suffocated by now.” With that Mara rolled her eyes. “It’s over so just leave it dead and buried.” 

The coldness in her tone was enough to stop Nicholas in his tracks, and as she spoke his hand dropped to his lap listlessly as she continued to speak and he realised just how badly he’d messed up this time. The words still so desperate to come wouldn’t form as he leant back against the chair that he seemed unable to get up and despite every fibre in his being telling him to get up and prove her that he wasn’t just using her being here as an opportunity to try and bluff his way to getting back into her good graces. But alas, as he always inevitably was, he was weak and he would always be weak. Instead, he merely sat still as he watched her refute everything he said. Whilst he wanted to say something, he knew Mara enough to know that whatever he did say wouldn’t be enough, he wouldn’t force her to listen to him for any longer as he stood up, aiming the magazine in the nearby trash and sighing softly as he glanced at her briefly before avoiding eye contact once more. “Fine.” he replied softly, as he gave her a curt nod and he moved to push past her to head towards his office.

Finished.

Evie: We need to have a chat, ma'am

Evie: Brownies babe, brownies! Do you still want 'em since they're not cookies?

Mara: About what?

Mara: I'm sorry I'm a space case lately. Yes, I still want them. Brownie's are even better. Although you could put them in cookie tins for me so it's like an extra surprise.

Forgot she existed… the words echoed in Nick’s mind as he repeated over what she said as he tried to find the words to deny that she’d been forgotten even for a moment. Yet again, even as he thought it he knew that it would be useless and she would not quite believe him, after all he was basically full of shit, he’d made it obvious that he spent his entire life trying not to care, what else would she believe given how he’d acted? “I get that, I do.’ he muttered, “I’m always going to be sorry though.’ he replied, at least hoping that if she could take anything away from this it was that he was always going to regret treating her the way he did. “Mara…” he sighed softly, “I wish I could explain me. Maybe one day I’ll be able to.” he replied and he reached out for her wrist to try and keep her in place, “I want to try. It doesn’t have to be today… but I want to I–” he sighed a little, knowing that what he’d say would have no effect on her intent to leave. “One day. Please. I hope you’ll give me a chance. I’m not giving up.”

“Are you sorry? Or are you just saying that because you miss someone giving you attention? Because from where I’m standing right now it seems like you just miss me giving you attention and this is a half assed apology you’re hoping I’ll accept because I accepted it before.” Mara snapped, she knew that she should have backed down by now but she needed to get this out once and for all.

(Let’s continue with this character being a mess because this is my life tonight) 

Mara had been sleeping with this dude on and off for years well he decided he was going to get married. Mara being the petty asshole she is showed up to his wedding with the invite he sent her and a date which was Liam. She spent the night hardcore drinking and was deff drunk by the first dance. Liam tried to tell her this was 10/10 a horrible idea and they should leave, but tequila Mara does what tequila Mara wants. I’m not saying she slept with the groom at his wedding, but she slept with the groom at his wedding. Someone please queue every Sza song. So after that mess Liam dragged her out of there before she ruined the happy couple’s wedding. They sit in the car talking for a while and they ended up having their first kiss. Pretty much they made out that night and it’s also how tequila became their thing and why the Dan + Shay song reminds him of her.

(Lawd please help my character because she’s showing every bad side of herself tonight) 

Anyways about a year after Lola’s wifey died Mara got this great idea for them to have a girls night. Well they were painting each other nails and it was getting a little boring so Mara called up the local drug deal (aka her fucking brother), they got some weed. Mara didn’t realize she probably should have used only a little bit when making them brownies, but she put the whole bag in because she thought they could handle it since they were werewolves. Welp she deff didn’t tell Lola they were weed brownie’s and feed Lola like three of them. Well they spent the night stoned out of their minds and called every pizza guy in the local area. They ate at least three pizza’s and the rest just sit on the floor while Mara made out with the random pizza guys and Lola cheered her on. About halfway through the night Mara got the idea to go to a strip club and they took a taxi and ended up at the strip club and weren’t allowed in without a male escort. At this point Mara was mad so they just headed down to the male review before Lola fought the bouncer. Although Mara isn’t so sure that Lola didn’t bite him a bit, but that’s a story for another day. So once they made it to the male review it got super blurry on Mara’s end and she deff took some more drugs at that point. Anyways this story ends with Mara waking up on top of Lola in her bra with a pool floaty on and glitter was everywhere. How she got the pool floaty one will never know.

The day Violet went off to college Mara probably told her that she couldn’t make it to see her off, they skyped or whatever video chat. Well when Violet got to her dorm on campus Mara was sitting there on her bed just smiling and was like ‘Did you really think I’d miss seeing you off?’. She spent the whole day helping Violet unpack and getting her room set up. She also took Violet to her first college party that night, she let her get super drunk because she’s a great influence. Anyways Mara spent the whole weekend with Violet, when she left on Monday morning they spent 30 minutes hugging outside the car and Mara deff missed her flight home. It  was worth it though because she got to see her best friend off to her first class.

When she said it was almost three in the morning, his brows shot up in confusion even more. He wasn’t sure what exactly was going on but he planned to listen and shake off his grogginess. He nodded when she said that no one was hurt or anything. “We can talk, Mara,” he assured. “I’m fine I got a bit of sleep. It was just the shock of being awakened at this hour that has me looking more tired than I am.” He was more so wanting to know what was going on now than anything else. He let her lead him to the the living room as he took a seat on the couch, pulling her with him. “We can talk now, you came all the way over here because there was something on your mind. Tell me whats going on.” He situated her so she was sitting sideways on his lap and his arms were around her waist as he spoke.

“Are you sure—“ Starting to ask once more, but she halted her words when he said he was fine and had got some sleep. She did feel bad waking him up at this hour, but they needed to get this resolved if she was ever actually going to get to sleep again. Laughing slightly as he pulled her down with him and she wrapped both of her arms around his neck. Looking at him as he spoke, she tried to find the right way to word the issue at hand. Keeping her arms around his neck and her hands played with the ends of his hair while she leaned in close to him. Resting her forehead against his as she closed her eyes for a long moment, she wished silently that he had just said they’d talk about this later. “I know about the list.” She told him quietly, she opened her eyes to look at him. “Zoe told me about it on accident, then I accidentally told her we slept together.” Cringing slightly at the mention of her telling Zoe about them, which she had to admit was mildly awkward. “She told me I was the first person you’ve added to it in a while.” Making sure to keep her eyes focused on him while she spoke, she stopped as she tried to find the best way to ask him the question she wanted answered. “Liam—“ Starting again, but she stopped just as quickly. “I’m sorry this was a bad idea.” Shaking her head, she covered her face with both hands. As much as this all scared Mara, there was a part of her that wanted to do this. She wanted to try again. Keeping herself situated on his lap, she looked back towards him once more. “Do you like me, Liam? Don’t be corny either and tell me you’ve always liked me and we’re best friends forever. Be honest. Where are you wanting this to go? Because I’ll be honest I can’t stop thinking about this stupid list and the thought of you adding other girls to it is driving me a little nuts. I know I’m suppose to be the cool girl who is okay with everyone sleeping around, but— I can’t do it. I don’t want anyone else added to the list, at least not while you’re still sleeping with me.”
