into the lion's den

so i don’t know if anyone has noticed, but i’ve been absent for a while. this is because i’ve been having issues with my accounts and also it’s been a stressful end of year. i’m on my way back now tho just an fyi~

         i’ve just remembered that i’m absolute trash for cher/ik and now they’re all i think about lmao why is this my life

     the nephilim pays no mind to her irritation, looking more bored than anything. ‘ i was never under it. don’t overreact. it doesn’t change the fact that you smell like a vampire. do they feed off you, by the way? or are you just a play thing ?? ’ so, the thing about august? he really has no filter. but then again, he probably wouldn’t care enough if he did anyways.

         ‘ i don’t know, do i look like i have all the answers ?? ’ he let out a small huff and then shrugged again. ‘ probably some kind of sigil, would be my guess. someone doesn’t want me to leave. ’ it was a little disheartening to say at the least, but completely possible. it’s happened before. unfortunately, NOW, he’s in unfamiliar territory stuck with a werecoyote and right on the brink of a full moon too. not something he was quite particularly excited about. ‘ it’s probably inside somewhere, if it IS a sigil. the snow would have destroyed it if it was outside. ’ 

              august felt himself shrug as he sunk into the couch, eyes watching the coyote carefully. ‘ what can i say? even my powers have limits. there’s some kind of WARD keeping me from using it. if we can find the ward and remove it, i’d be able to get us out of here. until then...we’re stuck. might as well get used to it. ’ he HATED feeling useless but there really wasn’t much else he could do. 

       ah, even better. ‘ well, if that’s the case, go right ahead. ’ he held up his hands in defense, a slow grin parting across his lips. ‘ how’d the bitch get your shit anyways? i thought werewolves were territorial. ’ he PROBABLY shouldn’t be so open about knowing what she is, but then again, he was pretty certain she could tell he wasn’t human, so he figured there wasn’t any harm in it. besides, august was never one to beat around the bush.

           ‘ you are mad, ’ he says quietly, eyes watching the witch carefully. ‘ not that i blame you. i WANTED to call you, adri, i did, but i just...i couldn’t. i know that’s no excuse, but i wanted you safe and i thought...maybe, if you thought i was dead, you would be. ’ it didn’t make sense; even august knew that, but he didn’t know what else to say. he didn’t even know where to BEGIN. ‘ how can i make it up to you? i’ll do anything, you know i will. ’ explaining his reasoning was going to take time, but if she wanted to know, he would tell her. he’s never lied to her before and he wasn’t going to start now.

       ‘ ----this is probably going to sound really weird to you... ’ he started slowly, head tilted to the side as he watched the girl in front of him. he remembered her face; he’d always been fascinated by murder cases and this girl had been thrown right in the middle of one when her sister turned up dead. but he didn’t mention that. that wasn’t what he was here about. ‘ can you tell me where i am ? ’

                 ‘ no offense----- ’ okay, full offense, august always means what he says. he’s never exactly been one to keep his thoughts quiet. ‘ but you stink of vampire and it’s DISTRACTING. ’

       ‘ if it makes you feel any better, i have NO IDEA how i got here. one moment i was in new york and now...here i am in a shit town in california. ’ he snorts in indignation, crossing his arms across his chest. the town reeked of the supernatural and august wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with it. but it didn’t look like he had much choice. for some reason, he couldn’t leave. 

i don’t mean to alarm u but look @ this cutie patootie

       ‘ you’re not MAD AT ME, are you ?? ’ she had EVERY reason to be, of course. august had disappeared off the face of the planet. he didn’t even say goodbye. what kind of person does that? he does...apparently. he had his reasons, but still. it wasn’t fair to adrienne and god, he had no idea how he was going to make it up to the witch.

        ‘ you know, i’m pretty sure you SHOULDN’T be doing that. ’ he’s more amused than he is anything else, but august just leans back, his head tilted as he watches the werewolf in front of him. she probably HEARD him approach; werewolves could do that sort of thing, but she must have not cared or she just chose to PRETEND he wasn’t there. either way, he probably didn’t care.
