"what? like you've been doing ever since we started... whatever this is? stop it, carlisle. enough! just say it. you don't want me and that's it and because you have some kind of messed up idea that you know what's good for me? i never said i wanted that! i just wanted you!" he was close to the point of throwing his hands up, because.. who the hell could have handled anything like this? he didn't and no matter how much it was "right. your wife. maybe you should have stayed with her, then." not what he had wanted to say, but.. all notions of that would have soon been whipped away from charlie's mind. "what? what.. what on earth are you talking about? you... you... is this serious?" @ragdclls

carlisle sighed softly, shaking his head. "i deserve that. but i was doing it to protect you. once you know what i am? you will understand." he could completely understand charlie's anger and disappointment. if carlisle was human? he never would've stepped away from charlie. he nodded his head. "what esme and i had? it's different to how i feel about you." he admitted. carlisle slowly took a step closer to charlie. "this is serious. i wish it wasn't. i never expected to fall for you. to fall for a human but... i am serious, charlie. i am not human. i was born 1640. i live off the blood of animals and have mostly since i was changed. may i?" he gestured towards charlie's hand. "i can show you some proof. i won't hurt you." @fatherfigcres

kerry had never envisioned this life for herself. mostly cause she should be dead but also because she had never really had any luck when it came to romance. probably because she was never really good at picking the right man. the right available man, for starters. now? now she was alive and in a happy and comfortable relationship with a man she loved. it was unlike anything she'd ever known. she cocked a brow at him. "you have something? should i be worried?" kerry taunted before nodding slowly. "no, i don't need gifts but... it's very sweet of you." she admitted, chuckling softly. they had both come so far from when they first me and she loved that they were growing together. "what is it?" @noonecallsusanymore

"and you can vent as much as you'd like, sweetheart. i mean it. i was just.. never mind. hm?" that was the thing. sometimes, she felt like she had been a mother far too young and she hadn't had the time to just.. what, mope around, like she wanted to do now? be angry that her husband wasn't paying her the attention that she felt like she deserved? eh, first world problems, she was aware that was all that they were, but.. still. not that she would have changed or wanted another daughter. no, not when she loved evie more than anything in the world and was always going to. that much, she knew. she was everything. "thanks for that, honey. i guess that even a cold hearted bitch, such as myself, needed to hear it." because otherwise, where would she be? alone, again? @ragdclls

"hey, you don't need to do that with me. to stop yourself talking about something that's bothering you. can we promise each other something? that we will always talk to one another. that we will talk if something is bothering us. you're my mum. you're my best friend. i wanna know what's happening." evie mused as she squeezed her hand. "i love you. i don't want you to feel like you have to keep things from me. or keep things buried deep inside." she wanted her mum to be happy. to be okay. "ah, you can tell yourself that you're cold hearted but... you're not. if you were? you wouldn't be the amazing mother you are to me. you might have a strong exterior but... i know you're got a gooey inside." she playfully poked her mum's side. "only for those who you love get to see it and i think that's awesome." @fatherfigcres

"am i? gracie, baby, you fucking flatter me. wanna tell me a little more about how cute i am?" logan felt as if he had never been happy, before he had met her. and yes, he had spent so long crushing on hannah wells, to realise that the real thing that he should have always wanted was standing right in front of him. and yes, he thanked god every single day that she had made him fight for it, because that was exactly what he had deserved and more. that much, he did know. "even if i got here all beaten up and just wanting to snooze into my pillow?" but he wrapped his arms around her, right back. of course. @ragdclls

"i dunno, i think that ego of your's is already big enough." she taunted. she truly didn't imagine finding someone she loved as much as she loved him. grace had always been a bit closed off to the idea of love, thanks to her parents divorce but... logan had snuck up on her. her feelings just growing and growing. "well, then i would take care of you as best i can. but... please don't come back all beaten up." grace rubbed her hands along his back. "how was your practise?" @fatherfigcres

remus had lost so much time with the man he loved. there was nothing he could do to prove sirius' innocence and get him out of that horrible place. while remus had to navigate a life without any of his friends and his hairy secret... he knew that things for sirius were a thousand times worse. "mm, good morning." remus muttered, stretching out and letting sirius move in closer. he peeked out of his lashes with a furrow of his brow. "says you. you look like some kind of god, even when you've just woken up." remus smiled sleepily as he brushed his hands along his lover's arms. he all but melted into the kiss, pulling the other in closer. "nope. joys of school holidays means that i am off for a week. i hadn't planned anything today so... i am more than happy to spend the day in bed with you, pads." @noonecallsusanymore

iris was trying her hardest to ignore her feelings. she didn't deserve to feel this way. to have anything good in her life after what she had done. she was still unsure how lucas was able to forgive her and have her in his life. her brows furrowed at the sound of her door, wrapping her cardigan tighter around herself. she peeked through the peephole and felt only more confusion. "lucas?" she questioned as she opened the door to him. "are... are you okay?" iris was concerned, of course. "okay... okay, sure. come on in." it was the least she could do, wasn't it? not to mention that she was concerned about him. "take a seat. do you want a drink or anything?" she closed the door behind him and gestured towards the sofa. @noonecallsusanymore

"you're a danforth, honey, i'm sorry to say that means you're always going to want to be in control. one way or another. even if you have yet to see it." ursula loved her daughter. it was part of why she wanted her as far away from titus as possible, because.. her brother had never, not once, been trustworthy. and maybe, she had fucked up enough as it was with ophelia, so much that she absolutely didn't want to make it happen more. no. "stay out of it. and just keep on living your life. that's what you have to be interested on." and she didn't want that to ever change. of course she didn't. enough was enough. @ragdclls

"is that why you and uncle titus argue? trying to fight for control?" ophelia wasn't aware of everything that happened in their family. she had no idea of the council or what they got up to. she wasn't stupid. she could tell her mother was caught up in something untoward but... a part of her was scared to ask. ophelia cleared her throat as she looked at her. "mum... i died in a horrendous way and i think... think you know why. i think it has something to do with whatever you're trying to keep from me. please... will you let me in? will you tell me what is going on?" @fatherfigcres

"does he not know, then? that you smoke?" skyler used to be a warm person. but her circumstances had sucked the life from her and she was trying to learn what it meant to be happy again, and if not happy, then at least neutral or content. "my ex-husband had lung cancer, and i still smoked, but... well... that's a long story," skyler elected to say. she did not have friends here. she continued to convince herself that people would judge her for what she did, so she'd prefer to be alone than misunderstood or judged. even though the reaction was fleeting, skyler did smile slightly at grace's words. "sure, yes. of course, you can have one, and... thanks for helping me out." sky reached into her bag and extended a cigarette to grace. "have you been here long?" sky asked. "i've only been here for a week or so. trying to get my bearings now."

she nodded her head. "yeah, he knows. i uh... i'm really against any kind of secret now. i'm open to him about everything and hope he is the same with me. only cause of a shitty secret from my past." alex's secret. if he'd warned her about his family and their secret? things would've been different. "ooh. well... it's an addiction, right? not something that's easy to kick." grace wanted to ask about how her ex-husband was now but also didn't want to pry on her private life. "thanks." she mused with a grin, lighting it and humming softly. "oh, years now. this place has become my home. there's... only one part missing." her sister. especially now she remembered what had happened to them. "oh, a newbie!" grace taunted with a wiggle of her brows. "how are you finding it?" @noonecallsusanymore
