"We look out for each other. It’s the way it’s always been. This will blow over. We just need to stand together.

" Is there? Is another way then choosing to help alina help end this war if we can. rasia look at me look at my face look at what hes done to me . What hes done to everyone who has opposed him to alina , me , the grisha, he was supposed to protect what he will do to this country, he won't stop at ravka if he expands rhe fold , fiergda , novi zem , shu han and kerch if he gets what he wants all will fall to him we will have no where to run to I've betryaed him once and he set his monsters on me . Do you think he'll be mercifull . Mercy is not a word that man understands . He didn't spare his own mother . We have no choice ray alina wont ask us to fight but she desrves to know that i havent abaonded and betryaed her again, " she spotted rays hands, and her tone softened she took her sisters hands in her own like she used to when they were young and used to share a bed ." I helped him i did i made a horrible mistake and it eats me alive but then I tried to fix that mistake I tried i did, and look what it got me a face full of scars and nowhere to call my own but i wont make such a mistake again. I won't lose you again, and if I have to fight for this for us, I will, but not without you . I won't leave you again i will take every chance for you " the guilt was almost audible in her voice. The darkling had given her the thing he msot desried a kefta a place to belong with her fellow grisha a chance at revenge she didnt regeret her revenge she regreted what she did to get there .she felt like crying all of a sudden she felt stupid she has gotten older she shouldn't get so upset so easily, she fet tears slid down her face md she started crying " i can't belive your here again . You've gotten taller . Prettier, too . Oh, saints, I missed you so so much "

Raisa tensed at the contact but wrapped her arms around Genya anyway. "I missed you too. I'm not sure I could express just how much."

" When did you get so wise, huh ? " she said, pulling back little to look at her sister . She smiled." im not scaring you , I, with all this talk of doom, am I? Lftle sister , remember when you used to be scared of sleeping alone, " she said, trying to make a joke it probably fell flat, but she knew that if they didn't ,laugh they would cry and she suspected they where both tired of crying .

Raisa smiled, not quite able to get herself to laugh.

" I missed you . Remeber when we used to climb trees togther , God we would drive mother insane " she said smiling despite the fear thumping against her chest . She was glad to have her sister back she loved rasia no matter what they will always be two halves of one whole .

Raisa smiled fondly. It was a lovely memory. But it felt so very far away.

" Oh yes, you joined the army," genya said no unkindly, but still, she didn't fancy the thought of her sister dying in the first Army in some ditch somewhere she looked away clearing her throat . " You have a scar ... I can fix it if you want, " she said, not looking at rasia." How is Mama, by the way? i haven't talked to her in so long, " she added wistfully .

"Hello my name is Edwin Payne and this is Charles Rowland. We wanted to ask you a few questions if it's ok and also can we just stay here for a bit we don't want to buy anything but it's raining and ... we don't want to get wet " the boy said finishing his sentence by trailing off nervously wringing his hands together his hands sweating under rhe gloves .he had an old timey British accent. He looked like he had stepped out of an old-timey time capsule the boy next to him was looking at him with an expression of pure fondness he looked like he had stepped out of a photograph of the 80s " actually were detectives. The dead boy detectives . There's been a series of disturbances in the area recently was there a chance you heard anything " te boy .charles said smiling

The two of them exchanged a slight look " Well there is no easier way to say this but we were wondering if you had seen a ghost a girl in a pale blue dress her neck has a ribbon around it around our age a victim of decapation " Edwin said fidgeting slightly charles shot him a look "Wait you probably think that we're insane don't you but if you could please just hear us out before you toss us out of your shop that would be brills. You can see ghosts otherwise you wouldn't see us anywhere. " Charles said like this was a normal conversation to have with a stranger in a butcher shop.

Ant tilts his head lightly, sitting at the desk in his shop as he folds his hands together. "Insane? No, never! Anything is possible within the realms of Gotham, Ive learned. Though I never took myself as a psychic-- Nows the best time more than ever to learn about it, I suppose!" He shrugs haphazardly.

" well your not a psychic anyone can see ghosts if they've been through a near death experience " Edwin said calmly " oi dont be rude " charles said they exchanged a small look .

Zoya my love my light of my life my darling my future ( hopefully ) wife can you please stop scaring the palace gaurds there complaining i promise im OK.

MR FAEHY NEED I REMAIND YOU THAT THE LAST TIME YOU PULLED A STUNT LIKE THIS IT NEARLY GOT YOU ME AND EVERYONE ELSE KILLED i'm sitting here, worried out of my mind, while you're out doing god knows what.you don't give a shit about yourself, do you? . IF NOT FOR US, STOPS BEING AN IDIOT FOR WYLAN FOR YOUR FATHER . YOU CANT KEEP RUNNING HEADFIRST INTO DNAGER every damn time, and..." nina forced herself to take a deep breath . She had lost matthias had lost her power and she would not lose more she would not lose her crows , her freinds her crew her famliy . watching that bullet almost go through jesper had hurt her the fear was horrible she knew that jesper could take care of himself but fear doesnt care does it she had grown fond of fhis impossibly tall horribley infuriating man and she wanted him to stay alive . " Promise me ?" She said finally .

". Not wanting to get shot doesn't make it any better . What were you even doing . And i won't tell wylan because I like you two too much for that, but I swear to witchever saints are listening. If you do something like that again, I'll kill you myself, you impossible idiot . " she said exasperatedly. It was so hard to be angry at him sometimes hes just so earnest, and he had helped them out of trouble quite a lot, and she knows he means well . She can't help but smile at jesper a bit. " You really like him, huh?" She said teasingly .

"I was working! You know how Kaz gets." Jesper lied easily. This wasnt Kaz, though he was sure Kaz knew about it, this was those damned debt collectors again. He flushed slightly at the tease in Nina's voice, ducking his head so the brim of his hat would hide his face better. "Whats not to like? I know you like the bug muscley types but Wylans....Wylan."

" Oh right, just kaz," she said in a tone that made it obvious she believed her jesper as much as she hated waffles, that is to say not at all . She wasn't going to force anything out of jesper though that's not the sort of person she is . They all have their demons . ' hey jes you know if you're ever in trouble, you know that I will help you . If you ever need help, that is, " she said, adjusting her cloak against the winter chill." saints its cold. Why is the window open?you're going to catch your death, " she said, changing the subject . She was from ravka and had been to figerda too many times for her comfort, but she still didn't like this bone-chilling wet kind of cold that occurred in ketterdam the rains and rhe snow made it a misreable time of year in an already misreable place . The snow was pretty, though.

She gave him a look that she hoped showed him that she didnt belive him " right and I would kiss kaz " she said sarcastically . She crossed her arms fixing jasper with her best concerned stare " not judgmental just concerned about you . You mean alot to me and I dont want you to get yourself killed by the cold or by being shot or blown to smithereens you idiot . Your my friend . I've already lost matthias and I dont want to lose you too jes please be careful " she said reaching out and squeezing his hands . She hated this constant anxiety she had in her chest for her friends they could handle themselves saints she knew they could but she didnt want them to get hurt .

" i have been a vampire since when the Confederates were still fighting a war, and I have yet to meet someone as strange as you . Do you usually lurk in dark alleys ?" He asked . Was he blinking enough ? He often forgot to blink, seeing how he didn't need to .jasper is not one to leave his home unless he needs to. He's a bit of a homebody, but he had been craving blood fresh blood, not blood bags, for a while now . It was snowing .oh how misreable

" death is death for most apart from those who can not die " he said ." What are you doing here its an odd time to be out and about . " he said softly turning his collar up against the cold . Oh how he hated leaving his house " and who is your creator . Sorry if I sound impossibly nosey I just have never met any of my kind before that haven't wanted to imeditally kill me " he said looking up at the night sky .

❝ I'M NOT THE MAN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR I AM. A PROFESSOR WILL YOU PLEASE STOP FOLLOWING ME ?  ❞the doctor said he had noticed he was being followed for a while, but he had hoped it wasn't actually someone following him . Doctor Alex Sheldon, the only man who works at the department of supernatural oddities at the beauru of Magical issues and complaints . He's an ecentric but a harmless one a scatterbrained intellectual

He paused, turning around.' Well, there are better ways to ask someone questions rather than following them around like a would-be serial killer . Do go on ." He said, his foot tapping against the ground in a steady pattren .

The woman brushed off her coat, not for any particular reason, just out of habit.

His feet stopped tapping he looked at them for a second, examining them. He sighed. " You should have started with that would have saved us all quite a few potential injuries. And to answer your question .Well, it depends on why you're asking. I dont think I owe you two anything .no souls or debts or ... well, I'm certain I wouldn't owe anyone my soul. I stopped making deals involving my soul, and you both look alive and entirely honestly human as far as I can tell right now .... so what do you want that required you to follow me for 4 hours across the entirety of London . " The man had a way of talking that made most people want to slap him or put an ocean between themselves and his presence . Rapid fire words tumbled out one after the other like a machine gun . He took a deep breath leaning against the wall like he had no cares in the world he looked for all the world like a mad scientist .

"We look out for each other. It’s the way it’s always been. This will blow over. We just need to stand together.
