[xskye-carterx]

All i can give you is memories,

Carry them with you and i’ll never leave,

I’ll lay my head down, in the shadow by your side. 

[khari-blake]

Khari laughed faintly at her first comment, unable to help it before biting her lip, a soft sob falling from between gritted teeth as she rested her free hand against the brunette’s head, tracing a thumb lightly back and forth near her hair line. “Please just— don’t go, Skye…. I need ya.” She whispered, her voice barely audible against the huge, burning lump in her throat. The huntress couldn’t actually believe it was happening, still half expecting it to just be a bad dream that she would wake up from at any minute.

[xskye-carterx]

She smirked only faintly at the hunter’s laugh, splutering a little as her breathing became heavier and heavier. “Y-you got me…always, ‘nd…” Skye was cut off by another coughing fit, only this one didn’t stop. She clung to Khari, tears falling down the side of her face and into her hair at the pain of it all. There was so much she wanted to say to the brunette; she didn’t want it to end like this, but she was so tired and she just couldn’t find it in her to hold on any longer. Keeping her grip as tight as she could muster to her best friend, she hung on until her last breath.

[khari-blake]

Khari didn’t even know what to say, her vision completely blurred as she tried to understand what Skye was talking about. She got the gist of it, but she couldn’t even think straight herself. Resting her forehead against the other girl’s for a moment, she kissed her harshly, letting it linger before pulling back just enough to rest against her forehead once again as she gulped down the burning lump in her throat. “I love you, okay? More than a friend, whatever you tried to start before, in that way…I love you.” She practically whimpered, tears just free falling down her face by this point.

[xskye-carterx]

Skye wasn’t expecting the kiss, but even in her hazy, light-headed state she was glad for it. “H-Hell of a, send off.” She replied incredibly shakily, trying to joke as she held on to the girl’s hand that was pressed against the wound at her stomach. “Love– yu too….”  

[khari-blake]

“Oh really?” She smirked, getting cut off by the kiss and just letting the brunette have a few more moments in that position as they deepened it, before reversing the roles easily enough and pinning Skye’s wrists above her head. “Yeah i don’t think that’s happening.”

[xskye-carterx]

Skye just laughed as the positions were switched so easily. It had always been obvious Khari was stronger, so it was expected she’d try something like this, and Skye had no problem being under her either. “Just wait, you’ll see.” Leaning up as much as she could, she caught the girl’s lips in her own once more.

[khari-blake]

Khari wasn’t expecting Skye to try and stop her getting help, but that didn’t mean that deep down, she didn’t understand what the girl was saying. Even so, there was no way she could bring herself to agree with it. “No. You cannot just expect me to sit here and watch you die!” The brunette replied in a cracked voice, gulping past the huge lump in her throat as she shook her head faintly. “…You can’t ask me to do that…” She finally added in a whisper, tears starting to fall down her cheeks.

[xskye-carterx]

“Ri—S’okay…” She replied raspily, using a blood-stained hand to clumsily try and wipe at her best friend’s tears. “I w-want this more than…them—i don’t, not them.” The brunette tried to explain, blood pooling in her mouth as she tried to cough it up. “Just..get ‘ere..”  She replied, not quite sure how to actually explain any more but wanting Khari closer.   

[aestheticxdrafts]

“I know.. I’m not really a vampire fan myself, I’ve only met a really small handful that have changed my opinions of them..and she’s not one of them. I try and hang out with Khari as much as I can, we actually went sparring the other day” Qhuinn chuckled, before motioning to Aiden to bring her a collar. “I have to put this on you, sorry…”

[xskye-carterx]

“Well i guess that’s something we have in common then.” She replied with a small smile to the point about vampires. They really did seem to be the worst bunch here. Her smile grew a little at the mention of sparing, raising a brow at Qhuinn. “Yeah? Well that’s always fun until you end up with fake vampire bites.” The girl chuckled, before biting her lip at the mention of the collar but still nodding once. “’Kay.”

[mitchell-page-ii]

Two weeks and I still can’t bury ya...

[mitchell-page-ii]

The hunter’s mood was defeated for a second when the other made mention of Alexa, his lips pressing tightly together, “Yeah, that’s pretty screw-y too, isn’t it?” Mitchell knew exactly what the vampiress was capable of and the fact that she did not appear to have changed one bit after ten years could only mean the worst. Skye didn’t have to know, though. “I promise ya I’m going to do whatever’s in my hand to help her while you’re down there, Skye. She…it’ll all be fine, kay?”

[xskye-carterx]

“You’re telling me...She sounds like a real piece of work.” Skye could only go off what Khari had told her, and although the huntress had tried to brush it off, it was easy enough to read between the lines. Nodding at Mitchell’s response, they finally reached the scrapyard. “Okay just...I know you can’t keep her safe, Mitch but--- I don’t know, just look out for her, i can’t do fuck all down there.” She admitted solemnly, before picking up a crowbar-like piece of metal. “Oh, and speakin’ of what’s to hand, i’ve actually go some good new for you.” 

[khari-blake]

Khari wrapped her arms around the brunette’s neck as she felt herself being pushed back, keeping their lips locked the entire time. “You never complained before.” She smirked, her hands beginning to wonder under her friend’s top as she grazed her nails lightly up her back.

[xskye-carterx]

“Yeah, well, i’m on top now, so get used to it.” She teased, cocking a brow at the girl playfully. Leaning down to deepen the kiss further, she began exploring the other’s mouth with her tongue, a soft shiver running down her spine at the nails gliding up her back.

[mitchell-page-ii]

Two weeks and I still can’t bury ya...

[mitchell-page-ii]

Mitchell chuckled softly and step forward to embrace the young woman; softly stroking the back of her head, “She’s told me a bazillion times, you don’t need to tell me, kiddo.” He had the hug last for a while, knowing well that he needed it and then let go, “Yeah, we are. Where is it?”  The hunter cracked his knuckles and joined her side to follow the right track to where she was taking them. “When did ya find this?”

[xskye-carterx]

Skye wasn’t expecting the hug, but she was glad for it all the same. Wrapping her arms around the man’s waist, she just stayed like that for a while, taking in the familiar scent. “Course she has.” The brunette mumbled with a smirk, before finally pulling back. “This way.” She added, leading the way to it. “I..a couple of weeks ago. I got taken out for a bit and Khari told me about Alexa---I needed to hit something that wouldn’t get me killed.” 

[wordsnquotes]

But you, you’re special to me. When I’m with you I feel something is just right. I believe in you. I like you. I don’t want to let you go.

“Pretty much. I’m kind of neurotic about my kitchen anyway, it’s a mess but it’s Phoenix and I’s mess” Qhuinn chuckled softly. She noticed the way Skye perked up at the mention of Mitchell name, and a shot of pride with through her. Her mate just had that effect on people. “Yeah..I know.. I was going to rent her but..Vampire Barbie got to her first. She’s..a real piece.. Anyway though, you want to take a little walk? See if this is something you’d like to do?”

[xskye-carterx]

“Sounds good to me.” Skye replied with a faint smile, more than happy to not go near the kitchen. The smile left her face completely at the mention of Alexa, and she nodded. “Yeah...I’ve heard all about her. It’s fucked up, she shouldn’t have to deal with that all the time on her own.” She replied bitterly, hating that she couldn’t do anything about Khari’s situation. “And okay, that’s be great actually..” 

[mitchell-page-ii]

Two weeks and I still can’t bury ya...

[mitchell-page-ii]

 “…where do I sign? You just know how to lift a mood, don’t ya..twigs, was that it?”

[xskye-carterx]

Skye’s smile faded slightly at the nickname, rolling her eyes playfully. “Oh for god sake, she’s never gonna let me live that down is she? We were kids, and i’d never used a weapon before, and twigs was all i could find, okay? I didn’t know she’d followed me.” Shaking her head, she smirked. Khari had also saved her life that night, but there was no point bringing that up at the minute. “So are we going or not?” 

[khari-blake]

Khari took her jacket off quickly, using it to apply pressure to the wound as the brunette started coughing, not knowing what else to do. “Shh just… Don’t talk, okay? We’ll get you some help.” She replied shakily, looking around to nothing but darkness. They really were in the middle of nowhere right now. Taking a breath to try and steady her voice, she shouted as loud as she could. “Hey! There’s a human out of her cell over here!” The huntress knew no one would come if she said injured, but maybe they would for that. “You’ll be alright..you will.”

[xskye-carterx]

Skye grabbed hold of Khari’s top when what the girl was actually doing registered, bunching the material up in her fist as she roughly tried to pull her in closer. “Don’t. I don’t want… I’m not bein’ one of ‘em, Khar…S’what they’ll do if…just don’t..Promise me.. P-lease.” It wasn’t that she wanted to die, far from it, she was terrified, but the though of being like the people behind this scared her far more.

[khari-blake]

Khari smiled faintly at the brunette’s reply, shaking her head. “Don’t. You just caught me off guard is all…I didn’t.. i didn’t mean stop, idiot.” She answered, leaning in again and smirking against her lips.

[xskye-carterx]

Skye smiled against soft lips at the comment. Since they were already sat down, it was easy enough to push the hunter back until she was lying on the floor. “We really gotta work on the name calling.” She mumbled with a smirk, deepening the kiss.

[khari-blake]

Khari had headed out of the vampire’s house while she was in the shower. It might have been two in the morning, but she really couldn’t care less by this point, she just needed to get away from Alexa for a while. The huntress had always felt most at home in the forests surrounding the city, memories of weekends with her father playing across her mind as she walked. She slowed down as she picked up on a clumsily looking trail, realizing upon closer inspection as was blood in the mix and quickly trying to track it down. Now knowing what Karina did for fun, god only knew what else she’d made. Of all the things Khari had been expecting to see, Skye on the floor struggling to move wasn’t one of them, and all the air left her body in one crushing blow. “Holy fuck.” She breathed out shaky, soft tone as she crouched down next to her best friend. “Shit.” She repeated in the same way, starting to hyperventilate slightly as she looked Skye over to try and work out how the hell she could help her. “What’ve you got yourself into this time, twigs?”

[xskye-carterx]

When Skye first heard her voice, she figured she must have just been hallucinating. The odds of her best friend being out here in the first place were slim to non, let alone being the one to find her. Khari might not have been real, but that didn’t stop her reaching out to the crouched form, grabbing at her jacket. “I was… l figured out the c-cells just, the eye pieces..I t-thought if…if i could get ‘em out i’d..it’d..” She was cut off as she started coughing, feeling light-headed as the taste of blood fill her mouth.  

[aestheticxdrafts]

“You can work the register. Take special orders, answer the phones, clean tables.. Mitchell’s there helping out too, but he does more of the cleaning and repairs and such in the kitchen. So you’ll get to hang out with him, if that’s more of an incentive” Qhuinn smiled lightly. “And yeah, she did.. She’s worried about you Skye, figured some time out of here would help. And..the fact that she recommended me for this..well, I guess that proves to you that I’m not an asshole” She smirked a little, tilting her head as she watched Skye.

[xskye-carterx]

“So i’ll be like a waitress?” She asked, perking up a little at the mention of Mitchell working there too. It would be nice to spend some time with him again, even if it was very different from how they used to. “She shouldn’t be worrying about me... She’s the one claimed by that vampire bitch. But yeah, i guess it does.” The brunette smirked back. The job wasn’t exactly one she was used to, but it had to be better than sitting down here doing nothing.

[xthe-beautifully-brokenx]

“Just stay away from me.”

[xthe-beautifully-brokenx]

“Some have better lives..I would say though in this city it’s far and few between..It’s a layered compulsion..The main part is that I’m forced into being absolutely addicted to my master’s touch, and when I’m away from it I suffer withdrawals almost like it’s a drug..The other is that I can’t be touched by anyone else without it feeling as if I’m being crushed to death.”

[xskye-carterx]

“That’s really screwed up i’m sorry.” She replied. It was all she could think to say about that sort of compulsion, it must be awful. “So who’s this bastard of a master?”
