/  intrigued  (: 

you just— you look at me like you hate me. [ victoria wasn’t sure why that bothered her so much but it did; she hasn’t made many friends these last few months and didn’t want to make any more enemies– especially if they were hunters. stakes don’t do much to her but alana could easily figure out what her actual weaknesses were. ] i’m sorry, i can’t… promise i’ll be an open book but i can try to be more honest with you, if that helps. this is kind of embarrassing but i / want / you to like me. 

@magikais    (  . . .  )      [       the   redhead   werewolf    pursed   her   lips   as   she   let the other   woman’s   words   sink   in .   but   really ,   thinking   about it ,   could   alana  really   / blame /   the    vampire    for concealing   her   real   name  from   a    hunter   such  as herself   ?      a   flicker   of   something   almost   familiar   sparked   across   her   silvery   hues   at   the name   ‘ tepes ‘ .    but   soon   enough   ,   when   victoria   pointed   it   out ,     alana   fixed   her   expression   ,    eyebrows   furrowing   slightly  .    how   had   she   been looking   at   her   ?     ]     look ,    I   get   it   .  you   can’t stay in   one   place   for   very   long  .   you don’t age—    . . .     [     she   paused   ,   before   letting   out   something   that   almost   sounded   like   a   chuckle .     ]       but   let’s   not get   into   a   habit   of   putting   me   on   the spot   with   your   questionable   exes  ,    alright   ? 

my name isn’t juliette romero— it’s victoria tepes and my father is vladimir tepes… every once in a while i change my name so people don’t grow suspicious. i wasn’t doing it just to / lie to you /. [ her expression falls, seeing the way she looked at her. she didn’t know why but it felt strange, familiar even. ] … you look at me the same way he used to. 

@wiccaanways    (  . . .  )          [           she    froze    for   a   moment   as   he    wrapped   his    arms  around    her   without    hesitation .   but   it    wasn’t    long   until   she   returned   the   gesture   ,   her    eyes   closing  as   she   inhaled   sharply   ,    resting   her   chin   on   his   shoulder  .    ]         you    were   worried   about   me  ?    [      her   tone   was   teasing  ,   but   they   had   known   each   other   long   enough   now   that   their   worry   for   one   another   was   no   longer   surprising   .       ]      I’m   okay ,   really .   I    got   myself    into   a   sticky   situation   with    some   vampires  .   but   I    got   out   / mostly /   unscathed ,    which   is   one   hell   of   a   bonus .    one   more   vamp   nest   we   can   check   off   the list   ,    I guess . 

[ jack walks over to her, arms open as he pulls her in for a hug that was probably too tight. he didn’t care honestly and she would probably hold this over him later but whatever worry that weighed down his chest lifted. he pulls away, a grin on his face despite the soot and dirt that transferred onto his clothes. ] what the hell happened to you? i was worried out of my mind. 

@wiccaanways    (  . . .  )      [        to   be   honest ,    there    had   been   a    moment    where    she    thought    she   / had /  been .   and    so   ,    relief    had    filled   her   when   she    saw   him   ,   her   shoulders   slacking   and   releasing   the   previous   tension .    the    werewolf    looked    like   hell   —   a   mixture of    dirt   ,   blood     and    ash   covered   her   from   head   to   toe   ,    and   her   eyes   screamed    exhaustion   .   but   yet   she   couldn’t    help   but   laugh   slightly    .      ]    sorry    to   disappoint ,    langdon   ,   but   you’re    not    getting    rid   of    me   any   time   soon    . 

[ wordlessly the vampire got exactly what her subtle squeeze of her hand meant and she lets out a quiet yet understanding sigh. today should be fun for more than one reason; she thinks to herself. kane glares harshly at alana, and juliette can’t help but smile a bit. his grip on the small gate tightens, leaving in indent on the metal, a show of his strength that was thankfully unnoticed by the people who started watching. kane leans forward, his gaze shifting from alana to juliette. ‘if you really knew her you wouldn’t be defending her like this— she’ll ruin your life if you let her.’ victoria glares now, her eyes flashing red for a quick moment. she stops herself, both anger and fear bubbling inside of her at once. ] / we / asked you to leave once, kane. [ for a moment, kane stops, his adrenaline dying down. he swallows softly, a bitter smile replacing his scowl. he looks over at alana, one last time, eyes scanning hers with a knowing glance. ‘there she is— you two have fun.’ he starts to walk off, his nails scratching the at the surface of every wall his head stretches out to touch. juliette looks over at alana, nervous after seeing him again and the impending questions after. ] i’m sorry for dragging you into that— thank you. i owe you. 

@magikais       (  . . .  )          [        a    flicker   of    confusion   passed   through    alana’s   eyes   as   she   heard   the    unfamiliar   name   being   called   from   the   man’s   lips .   had   juliette   given    this   guy   a   fake   name   ,   or   had   the   vampire   lied   to   her   about   who   she   truly   was   ?    she   squeezed   juliette’s   hand   subtly ,   signalling   that   that    this    would   definitely be   a   topic   for    conversation   later .   the   werewolf   stared   at   kane   in   disbelief ,   unimpressed    by   the   way   he   had   addressed    her .     what   an    asshole .     ]      charming .        [        alana    responded   dryly   ,   eyeing   juliette’s   ex   with   annoyance ,      wondering   if   he   was   something    supernatural   ,   or not .    it    would    determine    what    she would or wouldn’t    do    next .       ]        alright .   you   had   your   shot   ,   and   you    screwed   it  up   .    she   said   / no / .  so    how   about   you   back   off ?     I’m   sure   you   can   parade   that  . . .     / extremely /   likeable   personality    of    yours   elsewhere .   

[ her hand instinctively grabs at hers, somewhat tightly as he starts to make his way over to them. it had been a while since they’ve actually spoken and if it were up to her. she would’ve kept it that way. she tenses as she starts to hear his voice calling out her name.  ‘victoria’ he calls out her actual name, one that she hadn’t gone by in ages. she knew she’d have to explain herself alana soon but hoped she would wait until he left. ‘if i didn’t know any better i’d think you were avoiding me—’ ] i am… avoiding you, kane. i had to go, i was gonna be late for my date. [ kane looks over at alana, glaring daggers. ‘ who the fuck are you? ’ he scoffs, hands grabbing the gate that bordered the restaurant enclosure. ‘/ this / is who you’re replacing me with, vic?’ he was starting to cause a scene, drawing attention to them and the others outside. victoria swallows. ] you had no problem replacing me. now / please go. / 

[ juliette doesn’t say a word, allowing the other to backtrack and try to defend her caution that was— admittedly, somewhat grounded. her eyes widen at her remark, brow raising. alana couldn’t be serious— she wanted her help of all people. a small yet noticeable smile curves her pink stained lips as she tried to play it off with a sigh. ] alright— i’ll bite. come in and tell me all about what you’re planning. 
            
            / sorry all my replies are so late ah!

@magikais     (  . . .  )      I’m    not    / that /   bad .       [        the    werewolf    huntress    defended    ,     her    scarred    features    pulling    a    face   as   she   folded    her    arms   over   her chest  .     ]      but     can    you    / blame /    me    for   being    a    little    cautious    ?     [      her    eyebrow   rose   as    she    fiddled   with   a   loose   thread on her    sweater .        ]       no   ,   I’m    not    here    because    I    think     you’re   a    suspect .     [          she   admitted    ,    her voice    softening    slightly,    betraying    a hint    of    vulnerability    beneath    her tough    exterior.   she couldn’t  believe that   the next   words   were   coming   out   of    her   mouth .     ]      I’m    here   because I    need   your    help . 

at this point i could tell you the sky was blue and you’d have your doubts. [ the vampire replies with a scoff, small smile almost too sweet curved her pink lips. she smooths out her coat, eyes quickly glancing at the other. ] why are you here then? am i on your short list of suspects again?

@wiccaanways    (  . . .  )       that’s   dramatic .     I’m    not    / always /   mad at   you . . .     maybe ,  like ,    90%    of   the   time .     it’s    never   bothered    you    before .     [      alana    shot him    something    that    could    only   be described    as    a    playfully ,    sickly    sweet   smile .    ]      I    can’t   help   it .    do you   know   how    maddening    you    are   ? 

@comingforblood    (  . . .  )      get    out    of    my    way   .     i    can’t    be    here    .     [        the redhead    woman    growled     ,    silvery   hues   darting   from   the    stranger   down    to her   clenched    fists   .   she    could    feel it already    ,    the   natural    pull   of    the    full moon    and    the    way   it    made    her   skin crawl    .      manic   ,    she   looked   .    but   for   good   reason .   normally ,   at   this   time   ,   she   would    have    shackled    herself    within    the    basement    of    her    home   for the   transformation   ,   but    complications had    led   to   one    thing   to   another   ,    and   she   was   exposed   ,   out   in   the   open .   a   danger   to   everyone   close   by .       ]     i    won't    say   it   again .   / move / . 

@wiccaanways        (  . . .  )       [       a frown began    to form on her scarred     features as   she glanced over her     shoulder to   look at him .          ]          and what    if    you / do /   change your mind    ,    when you’re     face to face ?    you know    each other   ,    and it sounds like you know      each other well .     I wouldn’t blame you if     you didn’t want to do this .     it’s too personal    ,    langdon . . .       I can handle this one    on my own .          [         her expression softened       slightly ,    before she turned back    to the array of weapons on    the table ,    taking what she needed .        ]        I’ll give    him a chance    ,    okay   ?    as he’s your friend .    but if he   blows it   ,    you know    what I have to do .   

@bloodbarren       [        she’d    heal    eventually     .    it     always    took     longer than     usual    after a    full moon    .    her body needed     time to recover .    her gaze glanced      over    to the boutique     he was talking     about    ,    grunting    as she    pushed herself    forwards ,    ignoring    the slight     limp    she had    when she walked .      though he showed    concern ,   he was acting awfulky … calm .         ]       look . . .      I’m sorry    for almost     knocking    you    over    .    and    for getting    blood    on you    .     I’ll buy     you a new shirt     or    something ,    but after that ,      forget     you     saw    me .    I    assure you this isn’t what it looks like . 
             
            

@lunarhunts 
                                     okay,   no hospitals,   and there's a boutique right over there.   but you don't seem all that able to git around by yerself.   i mean ..   you nearly just ran into me a minute ago.
               [   he wasn't saying this to make her feel bad or anything.   his face showed how really worried he was,   but he took a step back.   ]   i don't think that   ` fine `   matches up when blood is on ya.  

@bloodbarren      (  . . .  )      [        the    ironic thing    was    ,    this     actually   / was /    normal     ,    for her    at least .    the full moon the previous    night     had     exhausted her ,     not     to mention     her     memories    of it were     practically      non-existent .    all    that she    was completely    sure of    ,    was    that she    now     had     a few    added    injuries .      ]         you     can     say    what you want    .    I    promise    you     I’m    fine .      [         the redhead     denied ,    eyeing his hand  warily    as    it    touched     her shoulder .    she    had    always    been    skeptical ,   of everything    and    everyone    regardless of the    circumstances .     she quickly    shrugged     off his    hand    ,    instead ,   resting hers    upon the wall beside her    to steady herself .      ]    no .    / no / hospital  ,   / please / .     . . .      I    just need—   I need     a change of    clothes .
