Lia Mysterie @xperhapsonedayx - Tumblr Blog

@xperhapsonedayx

she had been staying in this place for a couple of days, enjoying the time spent calmly instead of running. it seemed that she was always running, every which way. the Wild Hunt were on her trail and yet for right now she can breathe. she can look at the world around her and really study it, be alright with it, try to be happy and try to relax. she’s running to save the entirety of the world, to see that the strings remain attached and that people remain alive. they’ll be alive, they’ll survive.

the one thing she wasn’t expecting however was a kind of a shot from the past. she couldn’t remember the last time she had been tossed into something that reminded her so much of her old life. a young girl, heir to a kingdom, the lion cub of cintra. this girl reminded her of all that. of a time before the running and Bonhart and the Elves and the blasted Wild Hunt. so she sought her out in the kitchens. the only thing was that she was confused as to why the girl was standing there doing a servant’s chores when she was anything but.

“ I know you. “ she calls out from the doorway of the kitchen somewhat calmly. she doesn’t want to press it, doesn’t want to accuse either. but she knows that it’s her. they had grown up together and there was no reason for her to stand back and let this situation be. not when she missed so much of what she used to have from her past. “ why are you here? pretending that you don’t even know me? “

Pretending to be a servant was something that Lia never thought she would be doing, but she needed to lie low for a bit. Her father had been hot on her trail for a few weeks - though it didn’t help that she was causing her usual trouble by thieving and meddling in affairs. The consenquences of those actions meant she had left a series of clues for him to follow, but even he would never suspect her to play “handmaid”. Essentially, Lia was in hiding, and that plan was going alarmingly well.

Until she appeared. Lia recognized the woman the moment she saw her. For a few years when they were children, Lia had stayed with her, grew up with her, and even became best friends with her. It was impossible to forget her face, even though it was a little different now - older, beautiful, sharper - but there was no mistaking it was her: Ciri. The brunette knew that she couldn’t draw attention to herself, so she made the hard decision to do nothing. While that did not stop the odd way that Ciri looked at her, nothing had gone far beyond that; but Lia should have known that Ciri was always too bold and vivacious not to say something eventually.

Alone in the kitchens during the late evening, Lia had been busy cleaning the floors when she heard a voice from behind her: one that she was not at all expecting. There Ciri was - wondering why her childhood best friend hadn’t even spoken a word to her after so many years of being apart. After but a moment of standing in shock, the brunette dusted off her hands on her apron and went to the door, closing it behind Ciri so that no passersby could overhear them. Lia leant against the wall while looking at her old friend, biting her lip and trying to figure out how best to explain everything - to let her know that she still cared after all this time. “Well, you know me, I was causing enough trouble and decided to - you know, lie low for a bit. But Ciri, I could never forget you. I thought it was safer for you and me if I just ... kept my distance.”

Lia was glad that Lexi agreed with her on that point. Though she hated sitting around waiting and being allowed to stew in her own thoughts, she couldn’t see the alternative being much of a help for them.

It took only a moment for Lexi to start drinking; something that Lia strongly approved of. If anyone had earned the right to day-drink in public, it was them. Still, the face that the other female made was funny and kind of cute in a way. “Don’t have to tell me twice,” she said with a little chuckle, taking the bottle graciously, letting the whiskey fall down her throat with that familiar burn. It was strong stuff, but she merely closed her eyes and licked her lips after her drink, enjoying the feeling that it gave her. A little dose of liquid courage.

“Heh, as long as you don’t land yourself in a jail cell before our night is over, I am perfectly fine with it,” Lia admitted lowly, tilting her head back against the headrest as she looked through bleary eyes at the street, handing the bottle back to Lexi. It would take Lia a little while to get buzzed, but that whiskey sure was strong stuff.

She chuckled lightly as she watched Lia take a drink, she really did have no care. And that was something, Lexi found herself liking about her new friend. Taking the bottle now being handed back to her, she shrugged a shoulder loosely. “I know a lot of cops, I’m sure they would be understanding of the situation.” She took another drink, a longer one this time. If she was going to get even a little tipsy, she would have to do it right.

About to pass the bottle back to Lia, an all too familiar figure took her attention. Lexi’s heart sank the moment she saw her. Swallowing hard, she had to force the words out. “That’s Beth! Start the engine up quick!” There was a panic in her voice, the thought of losing sight of Beth’s car even for a minute was stressing her. “This is it Lia.”

Lexi’s stomach was churning like a washing machine, she could feel her heart beating at a rapid speed. Now to find out if the last six years of her life were wasted or not.

xperhapsonedayx

That was a fair enough point, Lia was sure if she did something bad enough she wouldn’t spend a lot of time in a cell - if put in a jail at all. Jake’s co-workers absolutely adored her. She wouldn’t be surprised if some came calling to her door if she ended up single after all of this.

Lexi’s features changed so suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost. It was alarming enough for Lia that she followed her gaze and saw a female get into her vehicle. At Lexi’s command, she started up the car and began her pursuit behind her, keeping a safe enough distance behind but not too far away - she couldn’t lose that vehicle!

“So, it seems like she really isn’t working late,” Lia said, gripping the wheel hard as she took a left turn behind the vehicle. So far, this wasn’t looking too good for anybody. They were heading up a steep hill that had Lia wondering, “I think she’s going to that hillside lover’s lane ...” It was a pretty place that she had been to before with Jake. They had laid on top of the hood of her car while they stared at the perfect city view and the stars above. It was a memory that was currently making her feel nauseous.

The light squeeze that Lexi gave her hand was strangely assuring, but needed. Lia had a feeling that after all this, no matter what happened, their lives would completely change. She wasn’t sure if she was ready for that again but she knew that she had to be.

The woman frowned at her question and bit her lip, thinking it over as she dropped her hands, “I think we should wait, honestly. See if we can catch them in the act. They should both be done work about now, so either your wife is gonna leave and we’ll tail her, or my husband will come and pick her up. I’m all for going in guns-a-blazin’ but I think if she sees you, she’ll know something’s up.”

If Jake did appear and went into the firm then they would have to follow, but if the two of them both said that they were working later then it could be plausible that they would go to some reclusive space to spend some time alone. Besides, it seemed unlikely that the two of them could truly sneak off in a workplace surrounded by people who probably knew that they were married, right? Perhaps it was just wishful thinking, but Lia preferred the idea that at least one of Jake’s co-workers would tell her if he was being unfaithful.

Taking back her own hands, Lexi nodded in agreement. “You’re right. Hanging back and waiting it out is the best way.” She knew Lia’s way made more sense, the sight of Lexi would only spook Beth and they would most likely never find the answers they so desperately needed.

If they were going to wait this out, they may as well make the most of it. Lifting the bottle of whiskey from beside her, Lexi went on to open the cap and taking a long swig. The harshness of the liquor hitting her throat caused her face to screw up in distaste. It was strong and disgusting but if it got them drunk quicker, then so be it. Offering the bottle to Lia, she knew she was driving and it wouldn’t be practical to drink and drive but surely a little bit couldn’t do no harm. “Take at least one drink, you’ll need it.”

Brown eyes frantically looked around just waiting for the second Beth would either leave work or a car would show up. “You know I gotta warn you, I will most likely punch your husband.” She informed with a light chuckle. Lexi knew the anger inside of her was just waiting to come to the surface and that feared her. The last person she ever thought would bring that side of her out, was Beth.

Lia knew better than most on what a bad day was really like, so she truly sympathized with Lexi on this. The only difference this time around was that she didn’t have to do it alone; and that by itself brought her a small semblance of comfort and strength that allowed her the resilience to go through with it. Though she was afraid of what she might find, meeting Lexi seemed to be some sort of blessing considering the circumstances.

“Thanks, I really do appreciate that,” the brunette admitted truthfully. It didn’t take long until she pulled up towards the law firm and parked, and Lia suddenly felt very anxious about it all. Part of her didn’t want to walk in there; to instead live a life in blissful ignorance, but she knew she couldn’t give Jake the satisfaction of thinking he was getting away with it all. No way in hell would Lia let that happen.

It wasn’t hard to notice that Lexi was experiencing a similar feeling to her own. Lia reached out with both of her hands, holding Lexi’s in a firm but soft grasp, “everything will be okay no matter what and we’ll get through this: together. Trust me.” She wasn’t one to get mushy, but Lia knew that Lexi needed some sort of pep talk, besides, she meant every word she said. This whole situation could have gone a completely different way when Lia knocked on her door, she could have been called crazy and yelled at or threatened, but instead Lexi put her faith forward, which showed just how brave she really was for wanting to know the truth, and that was something Lia couldn’t help but admire about the hazel-eyed girl.

This was it, the moment that would make or break both women. As much as Lexi would have loved to be back in bed totally oblivious to all that was happening right under her nose, she needed answers. There was no going back now, she had to see this through.

Lia’s touch was unexpected but nice. It was both comforting and warm, knowing she was going through this with someone else made it that bit easier. Moving her free hand on top of their now grasped hands, she squeezed lightly. “Yeah we will. We got this.” Lexi wasn’t just reassuring Lia, but also herself. No matter the outcome, she had a feeling the two would become friends after all this.

Inhaling a deep breath, she exhaled it slowly as her gaze jumped between Lia and her wife’s work place. “So what now? Do we go in like two crazy wives or do we sit here and wait to see if your husband shows up?” There was no manual on how to catch a cheating spouse, the two were going into this completely blind and not knowing what would come next.

The voice that greeted the brunette was one that she was rather hoping she wouldn’t hear: Klaus Mikaelson. Rebekah knew quite well that Lia preferred to keep her distance from the hybrid, simply because of all the trouble he had caused within the little Virginian town. Aside from that, she also was not exactly an advocate for werewolves, given that it was one who killed her adoring Uncle; and Klaus was, after all, the King of the Hybrids.

And there he was, she noted a moment later, seeing him upon the couch with a sketchbook in hand. It was strange to see the Wolf King do something so … human, she reflected. While she hated to admit it, she found herself impressed about that new discovery, as Lia hadn’t even been aware that he could draw - considering she spent so much time avoiding him, it wasn’t exactly surprising. Although, she supposed after living for over a thousand years, he would have picked up some attractive hobbies aside from the usual murder and destroy.

“Mm and so is Bekah,” Lia responded resentfully as she waltzed gracefully into the room, taking a quick glance behind her as if hoping that the blonde would appear out of nowhere, but no such thing occurred. The woman put her hands in her pockets awkwardly as she wandered over to the bookshelves and peered at the volumes, running her slender finger along the spines as she did so. “Anything here that you might recommend?” She asked conversationally. She might have been slightly afeared of the elder Original, but that did not mean she was going to dodge him entirely.

Though his head remained tilted towards the sketchbook in his lap, Klaus’s eyes followed Lia as she moved further into the room. With a small sigh, his focus returned to the drawing of the Mystic Falls clocktower. Apparently she wouldn’t be leaving him be, he thought to himself in dismay. Such was made evident when he heard her speak. It was one of the rare moments that the hybrid could sit in peace, without the turmoil of the outside world pestering him. He couldn’t help but find his sister’s friend’s presence vexing in that moment.

Without having to look up to see what she was referring to, Klaus answered, ❝ There’s no Twilight, or whatever paltry entertainment it is that your generation reads, ❞ he commented, not bothering to force his voice in to something friendly. ❝ And something tells me that you’re not much of a Sun Tzu or even a Tolstoy fan. ❞ He wondered how long Rebekah would be out and why her friend found it important to wait at the estate for her. All such questions were kept to himself, though, as his pencil attended to the woman sitting on a bench under a tree just across from the clocktower.

xperhapsonedayx

Klaus’s words only caused the brunette to scoff with derision, “the only vampire novel I ever read was one of Anne Rice’s works.” Indeed, Interview with a Vampire had actually been a good read and more accurate to what she personally knew of the supernatural beings. Klaus reminded her of the character Lestat, for instance. Though she knew who she’d rather be stuck in a room with.

Lia’s eyes darted quickly to the eldest Mikaelson with annoyance at his condesending behaviour, as if she were some dumb little high-school girl who was obsessed with “snapchat” or “instagram”. Sure, she wasn’t over a thousand years old with a mind spilling with knowledge - but she wasn’t an idiot. “He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking,” she quoted, vaguely reminded of the time she read the book in the yard of her uncle’s home and how he had built a swinging bench - a special place for her to escape. “Anna Karenia is one of my favourites.” Dickens, Doyle, and Fitzgerald are all greats in her mind, though she was never overly fond of Faulkner’s works. The brunette grabbed a leather-bound volume of The Picture of Dorian Gray, and sat down at a table, far enough away from the hybrid - she could tell from the tone of his voice that he was not to be tested too much today. The man managed to remind her in less than a minute why she tried so hard to avoid him.

It was unnerving how much of this was fitting together, as if the two of them kept dropping in pieces of a puzzle. The more that they talked things over, the more Lia believed that Jake truly was being unfaithful to her. She gripped the steering wheel even harder while she clenched her jaw, “he works at the station on Maine Road, just a few blocks away from my school.” Her stomach dropped slightly as she thought about driving past his station every day to get to work after all of this was over. How often did she bring baked goods for him and the precinct? Or had they given her a friendly wave or taken her out for her lunch break? Would all of that just … end?

Of all the reactions Lia expected from Lexi, what she got was something she hadn’t anticipated. “Oh … I don’t know about that,” she said sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck but with the hint of a smile, feeling almost … accepted. “It’s just the cards I was dealt with. I can’t change any of it, and it certainly took me a while to pull myself out of the hole I dug,” she admitted with a little shrug. Part of the reason why she became a teacher in the first place was because of the one who helped her when she attended high-school. Lia had always wanted to repay that kindness in some form or another, and teaching felt like her way of giving back.

A soft chuckle escaped the brunette at Lexi’s last words. “Deal. I’ll buy the munchies though, I have a strong hankering for nachos.” That was usually her go-to comfort food, and there was one bar in particular that just loaded them with any topping you could ever want. Though she didn’t go out drinking too much ever since she took on her job, if all of this was really happening then she would need it.

Lexi’s head shook in disbelief, everything was a complete mess and she had no idea how this little stake out of theirs was going to go. They all worked so close to each other, hell for all she knew they even lived a few blocks from the other. “God I wish this day would just end.” She sighed, resting her head back on the seat.

Turning her head to the side to glance at Lia, she mirrored the others smile. “Well you’re obviously a much more stronger and resilient person because of it.” Lexi not only hoped for her own sake, but Lia’s too that this was all one big massive misunderstanding. This was a betrayal that would surely ruin her, her entire life would fall before her and the thought of that scared her to death.

“Oh you’re so on! My stomach is already rumbling to the thought of it.” She huffed. A night shift with little to no sleep along with an empty stomach didn’t make a good combination. Now turning into where Beth’s firm was, that rumbling of her stomach soon turned to knots. “I don’t know if I’m ready for this.” All of a sudden her hands felt sweaty, the car felt like it was 100 degrees and not to mention the sick feeling now coming up her throat. “Fuck this sucks.”

The Prince did have a point. Lia was fully aware that if her father was not stopped then many more would die. But the man knew how to rip away the things that people loved, sometimes in such a way that many would prefer death - something that she considered a morbid feat. “Regardless of what I would decide, I am in your debt. If this is one way you would have me repay you then I will follow. But I am not about to go on some - suicide - mission to kill one of the most powerful men alive,” she warned him, eyes flashing for just a moment.

“One cannot deny that my father is an incredibly formidable foe. All I am saying is that he must be treated with extreme caution. He has ways that are … beyond magic, I don’t quite understand it myself, but it’s how he got to where he is now: terrorizing half the country.” Lia admitted, knowing that any information she could give to help them take down her father would be useful, even if she was not aware of the full extent of it. For a while after this she stared out the window, watching the countrysides turn into dense trees and mossy grounds. She thought over this … well … insane mission she was about to embark on, and how nervous she was about it. Her father was the only thing she was ever afraid of, but she knew she must sound like quite the coward to Derek. Still, she was more than a match against any opponent, she had to try and remember that; she just needed to hone her skills and learn more magic. “So … do you have a fair-sized training ground then? I wouldn’t mind doing some practice with a sword again …”

As she spoke of her father having powers that were beyond magical, he knew he had made the right choice in saving her. The information she held was much more valuable than she probably even realized but she also wasn’t aware of how long his mother had been trying to track down and destroy her father. It was best she didn’t. “Who said you were going to be alone on this mission?” He asked with a brow raised, his tone serious now. “Your father has killed thousands and some held the same types of powers you and I possess. He has made many enemies that will do anything to see him dead. They will be with us on this mission.” The alliances his family held were strong ones and with Lia there now they had a good chance of actually taking down her father.

He brushed his fingers over his trousers, off in thought for a moment until her question brought him back to the situation. “Yes, we have a very large training ground and about any weapon you could want.” They were well stocked in anything from swords to bows to even a few daggers. “I have a feeling you are going to want to get well trained in everything. You will need to know how to beat your opponent with both a physical weapon and with the magic that runs through your veins.” He leaned back in the carriage and looked out the window as he calculated just how much longer it would be. “We are almost to the safe post that we will be staying at before we finish our journey to my kingdom. You can get cleaned up and have a proper meal there.”

xperhapsonedayx

Lia was well aware of the mass genocidal mission her father had against the magical and supernatural. As far as she was aware, Axel had no idea of her own gifts, but she wanted to be stronger with them before she faced him. “It sounds like you’ve attracted an army, then,” Lia spoke with interest and a smile, of course there would be many who would want to fight back against him. Still, it made her feel a lot more at ease knowing that there were rallying forces behind them, as they would need all the help that they could get. She wondered if there were more out there who had yet to pledge allegiance, and if she could help with securing some of those alliances. From what Lia knew, there were very few who stood beside her father’s ideals, but of those very few were fierce fighters.

The woman gave him a short nod, thinking about all the routine’s she’d have to practice with again considering it had been about three month’s since she had stashed away all her weapons - she was bound to be slightly rusty. Still, the man made Lia chuckle lightly, “I’m more than a formidable opponent with a sword. I trained a few of my father’s men myself, they’re the elite. However, bringing magic into it is something I will need to practice ... once I get my mother’s grimoire back.” She murmured with a light frown, realizing then that she would need to retrieve all of her belongings before they went much further. “Perhaps ... when we are leaving the safe post we might travel to get my things? I buried them by the river not too far from here, but I think you’ll find they are worth having.” After all, she kept a few journals about all the information she had collected over the past few years. Anything important that she may have missed would be in there.

When Lexi was settled in her car, she pulled out onto the road after she checked for any traffic behind her. “Davis & Rothman? I know that place … Jake had to go to that law firm a few times for …” she suddenly narrowed her eyes and grimaced, noting that this couldn’t just be a coincidence. “Paperwork and statement reasons. He’s a cop, so I never really questioned it much.” Lia admitted, feeling quite stupid in that moment.

“Oh … it’s not exactly - well … it doesn’t make for pleasant conversation,” Lia informed uncomfortably while she took a right turn, glancing at the woman quickly with an almost-nervous look. Lia didn’t talk much about it, but she was still plagued with nightmares almost every night even though it had all happened about a decade ago. For a moment, Lia wasn’t even sure that she should tell Lexi about it but … perhaps it could be somewhat theraputic if she could at least talk about it, ( though she truly didn’t believe it would make the scorned woman feel any better) “The short of it? My father’s a raging psychopath who murdered my mother and uncle in front of me when I was a teenager. So … talk about damaged goods.” She said, quite bluntly as she stopped at the traffic light. Half-expecting Lexi to jump out of the car to get away from the awkward conversation.

There wasn’t a day that went by where she didn’t think about it. Her father had never been a good role-model in any sense, but she had never expected him to be capable of that kind of coldness. It seemed like when he had her uncle killed it was out of spite or - or a warning of some kind - that he would never let her live in peace. That was one of the reasons why she was so thrilled to marry Jake; so that she could change her name and never worry about her father finding her again.

Lexi scoffed, of course he had been to his secret lovers work place. This was getting more obvious the more she heard, the anger bubbling inside her. Eyes narrowing, she shot a look at Lia. “He’s a cop?! I’m a SWAT officer and I’m pretty sure I most likely have buddies that know your damn husband.” This was getting way too close to home.

Her face fell, features sympathetic as she listened to Lia’s obviously traumatic past. Sorry wasn’t going to cut it because in reality, there was no words that could ever be enough. “You’re so strong. Honestly, you should be proud of yourself.” She told her with a soft smile. Of all the shit Lexi had been through in her life, nothing even compared to the things Lia had thrown at her. She truly was a remarkable woman, especially now having to go through all this crap.

“I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to finish this bottle of whiskey. And if what we suspect is true, I’m taking us out for shots.”

Alcohol. Yes. That was exactly what Lia wanted in that moment. She always kept a pack of beer in her trunk but she was hoping that Lexi had something a bit stronger. She always enjoyed a good bourbon, whiskey, or rum for an “I-want-to-get-shitfaced” kind of drink; and strong was what she needed for what she was trying to mentally prepare herself to see. Besides that, a part of her was oddly a little enthusiastic about this whole senario. Perhaps it had to do with the thrill of it all, or meeting someone new and friendly that was sharing in her energy. Whatever it was, Lia was glad that she wasn’t in this alone.

The light touch of Lexi’s hand on her arm seemed to bring Lia out of her momentary reverie, and the woman found that she was embracing the small act of kindness, even offering the faintest of smiles as her cheeks reddened with warmth. “Thank you. Truth be told … I’ve been through worse betrayals than this but … I just thought everything was supposed to turn around, you know?” She asked, a little bit rhetorically, not sure if Lexi would even have a clue about what she meant. More than anything, Lia had wanted to live a normal, happy life. With Jake she had that, but now it seemed to be torn, fragmented, and disfigured. Like her whole world had changed again, and she was just so … tired of it.

“Yes - let’s,” Lia agreed as Lexi walked off to the kitchen and came back with a bottle of whiskey in hand, causing Lia to let out a light-hearted chuckle as she followed the woman to the front door. “As ready as I’ll ever be,” she responded as she walked out, taking her jingling keys out of her leather jacket pocket and headed towards her trans am. Her finger trailed across the massive golden phoenix on the hood like she always did before she got into the car and started it up, listening to the engine purr like it was music.

Lexi had caught Lia’s words just as she left for the kitchen, unsure if she should push the matter further or not. They knew nothing about the other, strangers that had seemingly only one thing in common, cheating spouses.

Closing and locking the door behind them, nerves were beginning to set in. This was actually happening and the sudden reality that by the end of the day she could be single, was making her nauseous. Lexi had been with Beth for six years, her entire life evolved around her. And that alone was terrifying, because who would she be without her?

Following Lia to her car, she slid into the passengers seat. Whiskey bottle placed safely on her lap, she turned to glance at the other woman. “Beth works at a law firm downtown, Davis & Rothman.” It suddenly hit her, Beth would have to change the name of her shared law firm if things do go south. “So can I ask, what did you mean back in the house? It’s probably none of my business but we are literally stalking our husband and wife together, we gotta get to know each other somehow, right?” A small chuckle followed. She didn’t want to make light of the situation but it was either that or they both just spent the time together depressed and hating the world.

When Lexi was settled in her car, she pulled out onto the road after she checked for any traffic behind her. “Davis & Rothman? I know that place ... Jake had to go to that law firm a few times for ...” she suddenly narrowed her eyes and grimaced, noting that this couldn’t just be a coincidence. “Paperwork and statement reasons. He’s a cop, so I never really questioned it much.” Lia admitted, feeling quite stupid in that moment.

“Oh ... it’s not exactly - well ... it doesn’t make for pleasant conversation,” Lia informed uncomfortably while she took a right turn, glancing at the woman quickly with an almost-nervous look. Lia didn’t talk much about it, but she was still plagued with nightmares almost every night even though it had all happened about a decade ago. For a moment, Lia wasn’t even sure that she should tell Lexi about it but ... perhaps it could be somewhat theraputic if she could at least talk about it, ( though she truly didn’t believe it would make the scorned woman feel any better) “The short of it? My father’s a raging psychopath who murdered my mother and uncle in front of me when I was a teenager. So ... talk about damaged goods.” She said, quite bluntly as she stopped at the traffic light. Half-expecting Lexi to jump out of the car to get away from the awkward conversation.

There wasn’t a day that went by where she didn’t think about it. Her father had never been a good role-model in any sense, but she had never expected him to be capable of that kind of coldness. It seemed like when he had her uncle killed it was out of spite or - or a warning of some kind - that he would never let her live in peace. That was one of the reasons why she was so thrilled to marry Jake; so that she could change her name and never worry about her father finding her again.

The brunette let out a little chuckle when the woman swore. That summed up what she was feeling towards her husband in that moment, “to be honest I’m not sure what I’ll do if it turns out he’s - he’s … well … I’ll be kicking his sorry ass to the curb, that’s for sure.” Lia said with a defeated shake of her head. Why would he do something like that? They had always been so happy. Had she missed something? Had she - no, she wouldn’t put the blame on herself, if he had truly done something this stupid, it had been his choice to make.

Lia watched her pace around, she could practically see the gears turning inside her head as she formulated a plan. “Hmm, Jake said something similar,” she admitted with a frown. Then her eyes lit up at the idea as she stood up as well with excitement, “that could work, yes! We could take my car too, it stands out like a sore thumb, but there’s no way she’d know it’s my vehicle. We definitely have to try. I won’t give up until I know exactly what’s going on here!” She exclaimed with a furrow in her brow and confidence rising in her chest. “Oh … yes I suppose I just barged in here instead of introducing myself. I’m sorry for that, I’m Lia Riley but … well, I might just change it back to Deveraux again at the end of all this.” She admitted sheepishly.

Both women could have sat here cursing their spouses for the remainder of the day or they could take the matter into their own hands and get the proof both so desperately needed. Beth was still her wife and she wasn’t just going to end a two year marriage off vague messages. If she was going to confront her, Lexi needed to see it with her own eyes. “Yeah I feel that.” Of course a huge part of her was hoping it was just some misunderstanding, that the flirting was just that. Only this wasn’t the movies and things didn’t work out that easily.

Lia’s excitement was rubbing off on her, the adrenaline of playing super spies giving Lexi a somewhat high. “Yes! Perfect. Okay I’ll grab the alcohol and we will do this. One way or another, we will find out by tonight what’s going on.” If anyone were to see them right now, they would probably think the two women were on something. Lexi assumed it wouldn’t be classed as normal that the two were so excited about the prospect of finding their wife and husband cheating on them with each other, but this wasn’t a normal situation. Beth had classed herself as lesbian the entire time Lexi had knowing her, that part was hurting her the most. She caught the obvious sadness as Lia declared she might just have to change back to her name before marriage, Lexi outstretched a gentle touch to the women’s arm. “Hey, we can get through this together.” She reassured her, a faint smile sealing her words.

“Right, lets do this.” With a look of determination, Lexi dropped her hand from Lia’s arm and rushed to the kitchen cupboard grabbing a bottle of whiskey. Forcing one arm at a time through the sleeves of her jacket, she was now stood at the front door eyes focused on Lia. “You ready for this?”

xperhapsonedayx

Alcohol. Yes. That was exactly what Lia wanted in that moment. She always kept a pack of beer in her trunk but she was hoping that Lexi had something a bit stronger. She always enjoyed a good bourbon, whiskey, or rum for an “I-want-to-get-shitfaced” kind of drink; and strong was what she needed for what she was trying to mentally prepare herself to see. Besides that, a part of her was oddly a little enthusiastic about this whole senario. Perhaps it had to do with the thrill of it all, or meeting someone new and friendly that was sharing in her energy. Whatever it was, Lia was glad that she wasn’t in this alone.

The light touch of Lexi’s hand on her arm seemed to bring Lia out of her momentary reverie, and the woman found that she was embracing the small act of kindness, even offering the faintest of smiles as her cheeks reddened with warmth. “Thank you. Truth be told ... I’ve been through worse betrayals than this but ... I just thought everything was supposed to turn around, you know?” She asked, a little bit rhetorically, not sure if Lexi would even have a clue about what she meant. More than anything, Lia had wanted to live a normal, happy life. With Jake she had that, but now it seemed to be torn, fragmented, and disfigured. Like her whole world had changed again, and she was just so ... tired of it.

“Yes - let’s,” Lia agreed as Lexi walked off to the kitchen and came back with a bottle of whiskey in hand, causing Lia to let out a light-hearted chuckle as she followed the woman to the front door. “As ready as I’ll ever be,” she responded as she walked out, taking her jingling keys out of her leather jacket pocket and headed towards her trans am.

When the woman admitted to not knowing anything about the whole situation, Lia’s stomach plummeted as she assumed her worst fears. Clearly, this was just as much of a shock for the girl, but at least she was keeping quite strong, considering everything, already she was jumping right into an action plan, and Lia kind of liked that about the stranger. “No … I just found out. He’s still working at the station or - at least I think he is.” She said, running a hand across her forehead tiredly, not sure of what to believe anymore with Jake.

It took Lia a few minutes to speak again, thinking upon the woman’s words carefully. “I want to know exactly what’s going on. I want to see the proof with my own eyes not some - jumbled up bunch of messages that are so vague I can’t tell what is real.” She said as she took her phone but put it on the coffee table in front of her. Lia sat there with her fingers pressed to her lips in deep thought. “It’s either we wait until they meet up or we try and set them up, but how we would even do that I don’t know …” she admitted, not ever believing she would be in this position. At least this was helping - talking with a stranger - it was easier not to focus on the pain of it all otherwise she’d be curled up on the couch and drinking away her sorrows.

Lexi wanted nothing more than to sit and wallow in self pity, but that wouldn’t get her anywhere. That would mean Beth and this lady’s husband had won, that they got the last laugh. And that was something she couldn’t let happen, she wouldn’t allow herself to act the victim. “Bastards..” She muttered, features hardening as the anger began to set in the more she thought about it.

Her head nodded in agreement, they both deserved real answers. “As do I.” Rising from her seat, Lexi began pacing back and forth trying to formulate a plan. “Okay we can do this. If we can sneak their phones and send a text wanting to meet up.. wait no.” Her head shook, forehead creasing. “That won’t work. But, Beth did say she’s working late tonight which I never really questioned. What if we wait outside her work for her usual finishing time and if she leaves.. then we can follow her and see exactly where she’s going!” The plan wasn’t exactly concrete but it was all she had. “I know it sounds kinda stalkerish, but it’s worth a try.. right? Oh, and I’m Lexi btw.”

Her wife. Lia wasn’t quite sure if this was better or worse. Was she about to ruin this woman’s life? For a fleeting moment Lia considered saying that she had made a mistake and walk away but … she knew that if she was in this woman’s shoes, she’d want to know what was going on. The look of worry on her face was apparant. Lia swallowed and stepped into the threshold. Her eyes peered around the room, trying to focus on anything but this whole situation. Soon enough she spotted a couch and sat down. Normally she would want to remain standing but she was certain that this was a conversation best held while seated, especially if it would come as a bit of a shock.

“I-I’m not sure how to say this …” Lia admitted quietly, knowing this wasn’t exactly the best situation … mind, there really wasn’t a good way to express concerns that your spouse was cheating on you. “I’m not a friend of Beth’s, I’ve actually never met her but - oh. You’d better just see this,” she said with a shake of her head, pulling out her phone and opening her photos app, handing it over to the female so that she could see the messages that were exchanged between their significant others. “Are you aware that your wife has been meeting with my husband, Jake?”

Closing the door as Lia entered, she followed behind her. Sitting on the chair opposite the woman, Lexi felt nervous all of a sudden. The entire situation was unusual, she hadn’t known what to expect.

A puzzled look swept her features as she listened to her. “I don’t understand..” she drawled, soon to be taking the offered cellphone. Kinking a brow curiously at her before her eyes fell to the phone, at first confused by what she was reading. That confusion however, soon turned to a strong ping of hurt. “I-no I wasn’t aware.” Lexi tried to compose herself, to keep her emotions in tact but it had felt like her heart had just been shattered. Jaw clenching, she swallowed hard as she passed the phone back. “That would explain a lot.” She should have known something was wrong, Beth had been acting strange for a while now but Lexi had been so busy with work, she hadn’t taken the time to question it. “I’m assuming your husband doesn’t know that you know? And if he doesn’t, what plan of action have you got in mind?” There was nothing quite like a woman scorned. She wanted to catch them in the act, so her wife couldn’t spin some bullshit story.

The door opened when Lia was about to walk off. Behind it revealed a pretty woman with startling hazel eyes who looked like she had just woken up. Lia opened her mouth to speak but the woman was trying to turn her away - thinking she was a door-to-door salesperson. Lia grimaced at that, partly wishing that was what she was there for.

“Are you Beth?” Lia asked abruptly. That was all she could manage to get out -not even realizing she was close to tears or that her voice was a bit choked. Lia wasn’t exactly the praying type, but she hoped that this was all some sort of misunderstanding. That Jake was just trying to - to plan a Birthday party for her (even though her Birthday was in November) or adopt a cat or plan out their anniversary - the brunette wanted accept literally any story except what she thought was happening. Nervously, she rubbed her arm, trying to prepare herself for what she was about to say. But what was she about to say? Lia realized suddenly, with cold feet, that she had no game plan whatsoever.

“No Beth is my wife. What’s going on?” Lexi questioned, brows knitting together. Going by the woman’s voice and the look she had in her eyes, something was wrong. An unsettling feeling set in her stomach, something didn’t feel right. Opening the door further, Lexi stepped back motioning for the woman to come in. “Come in and sit down, you really don’t look so good.” It was an obvious observation. She didn’t make a habit of letting strangers into her home but the other woman looked completely harmless. “Are you a friend of Beth’s? I can call her if you’d like, if it’s important.”

The brunette’s mind was running faster than her tire wheels. Lia kept muttering curses under her breath while she drove, taking such sharp turns in her ‘79 Firebird to the point where the tires squealed. The black car zipped down the street and before she knew it she was at the address. She stepped out of her vehicle the moment she parked it. Heels hitting the concrete in quick succession as she made her way up the doorstep and rang the doorbell.

Lia was almost shaking as her hand grasped her phone in her pocket while she waited. Less than twenty minutes prior she had been busy grading papers when her husband’s laptop kept making noises. Jake had been called into the station, so she had gone over to shut his computer off but was met with a horrifying sight: messages to another woman. If she hadn’t seen the few words that had caught her eye, she might never have noticed. But after going through the past few days worth of messages, they were vague enough that she needed some form of proof before she threw his shit to the curb. Luckily for her, the woman left an address for Jake: the one she was currently standing in front of.

The sound of the doorbell woke her abruptly from her sleep. Lexi had been working night shift, her sleep broken and her thoughts hazed as she rubbed sleepily at her eyes. Eventually dragging herself out of bed, she grumbled under her breath in annoyance as she reached the front door.

Pulling the door open, it revealed a stranger on the other side. Sighing heavily, Lexi shifted her weight against the side of the door as she looked to the woman. “Look if you’re here to sell crap, I’m really not interested.” She wasn’t usually this rude, but lack of sleep had her grouchy and now all she could think of was a strong ass coffee since apparently, she wasn’t going to get the peace to sleep. It took her a lengthy couple of minutes to realise the woman didn’t exactly have the chirpy annoying features sales people usually had. “Hey, you okay lady?” She asked in concern. She was a stranger yes, but Lexi wasn’t all heartless.

Werewolf. That was not something Lia expected to hear. She had heard of such creatures before but … well, she typically tried to avoid them when she heard rumors that there was one prowling about. This was perhaps the first time she had spoken with one face to face. He was leaving a decent reputation for them, at least, though she couldn’t help wondering the difference between truth and myth when it came to their kind - there was so much that was left to rumor and interpretation. Perhaps one day she might just ask.

“Well that’s good, because I’m not a servant.” Lia had been posing as a servant, sure; hiding in plain sight, for only a few months now. The truth of her was that she was just as much of an enigma as her father; spending most of her time previous to this being a spy and a thief - a rather good one, if she was being honest with herself. The woman was unsurprised that he turned away her pact, but she still intended to stay true to her words regardless, even though she hated the reminder that someone had saved her life.

At his question, it was clear that there was a storm brewing behind her eyes, her hands clenched her raggedy clothes at the mere thought of finding her father once again. “There is no one more than I who wishes my father dead. But know this: he is not a man to meddled with if you are not prepared for it. I have seen him take down entire villages within just a few hours, and you would not forget the screaming any time soon.” After all, Lia had helped him do it when she was much younger. Those visions still haunted her everyday, and the guilt tore at her insides like no other, but she put the images out of her head, not wanting to go to that dark place once again, not right now. She took a deep breath before she went on, trying her best to explain just how serious the situation was. “Therefore it must be said that before you can even plan a move against him, you must make sure that you have taken all the proper precautions. He must not know where I am, for one, such a thing would buy you time. But to answer your question, … I-I must think about it. I do not enjoy the idea of putting hundreds of lives at stake to kill one man, because I assure you that any attempt on my father’s life would mean war.”

He tilted his head just slightly when she spoke of not being a servant. Part of him wanted to say she wouldn’t really have a choice in what she would be to him as he did just save her life but instead he bit his tongue and tried to remember that he didn’t need to flaunt power even when he had it. He thought it was a bit ironic though as she had been working as a servant before she was sentenced to her death. It was why the King had found out about her, she had been working too close to those that feared her.

“I know of your father just like I know of you.” His words were a bit cool, eyes focisung on the landscape that passed their windows as they rode by. He was not one to deter from his mission just because she had some fear over her father. He knew what the risk was when he had gotten her. His mother had made him well aware of the kinds of situations that would begin to happen from him grabbing Lia. “I think that if we do not try and stop him then we will run into him trying to kill others like you and myself for no reason. Lives will always be at stake when it comes to him. It was why he exiled you. He knew of what you possessed and he does not do well when others challenge him.” He drew his eyes back to her, wondering if he had maybe changed her mind in some way. “You either can die trying to destroy him or you can live in fear that he might find you. Which is it?” He knew what he would do in her shoes, take out the threat before it got to him, but she was different than he was and that was even more clear as they rode to his home.

xperhapsonedayx

The Prince did have a point. Lia was fully aware that if her father was not stopped then many more would die. But the man knew how to rip away the things that people loved, sometimes in such a way that many would prefer death - something that she considered a morbid feat. “Regardless of what I would decide, I am in your debt. If this is one way you would have me repay you then I will follow. But I am not about to go on some - suicide - mission to kill one of the most powerful men alive,” she warned him, eyes flashing for just a moment.

“One cannot deny that my father is an incredibly formidable foe. All I am saying is that he must be treated with extreme caution. He has ways that are ... beyond magic, I don’t quite understand it myself, but it’s how he got to where he is now: terrorizing half the country.” Lia admitted, knowing that any information she could give to help them take down her father would be useful, even if she was not aware of the full extent of it. For a while after this she stared out the window, watching the countrysides turn into dense trees and mossy grounds. She thought over this ... well ... insane mission she was about to embark on, and how nervous she was about it. Her father was the only thing she was ever afraid of, but she knew she must sound like quite the coward to Derek. Still, she was more than a match against any opponent, she had to try and remember that; she just needed to hone her skills and learn more magic. “So ... do you have a fair-sized training ground then? I wouldn’t mind doing some practice with a sword again ...”
