“it really d e p e n d s on your drink of choice for the best mixer, i myself am a bloody mary kind of gal.”
@reprievestarters
“ that’s a brave choice ----- heard they give a hell of a hangover, and me? the whole name BLOODY MARY gives me the heebie jeebies, so i’m more of a straight vodka girl. never really had the energy to indulge in the fancy shit. but, surprise me. colour me intrigued. ”
“does this place sell just a regular black coffee ?? or is it all froofy frappuccinos and pumpkin spiced golddust here too ??”
@reprievestarters
“ UNFORTUNATELY NOT, you’d be in better luck investing in a hefty good pot of the instant stuff from the mart down the street, or there’s julie’s cafe around the corner. but between you and me, you could probably make a half decent cup that doesn’t taste as shit. welcome to hell. ”
it starts like an awareness, like someone tapping their nails on the surface of a counter top. unflinchingly annoying, but something she could push down. SWALLOWED down like all things it seems. she was always stuck between two paths with who she was ----- or WHAT she was. it had brought about so much trouble for her, so much devastation that she could have had an EASIER life without it. maybe deep down she believed that part of what she was, was the reason her mother was dead. SHE’D NEVER HAVE ANSWERS. but she’d bear the cross, that blame that was the most suffocating of all. it’s okay, she hasn’t been able to breathe unpolluted air in over five years. it’s deserved. the tapping then changes to words, normally muttered, and over time getting more rushed, more haphazard, more demanding to attention. once it gets louder, once it feels like needles are piercing her head, or that her skull itself is constricting her brain. is when her throat starts to ache. THE WORDS AREN’T ABLE TO BE MADE OUT.
it’s only then, once she feels the urge that the trance like state comes. it’s like having any sense of control, though she’s not got ANY control really, over her life ----- it’s like having that ripped from her grasp. THESE LITTLE TRIGGERS, they are what have her in the town square, under shrouds of trees. it’s what leaves her unseeing, focused on one thing along. and then, she feels it, the need for CLARITY, the need to free her bones from an ice prison. and so she gives in, because she wants more than anything, to have the freedom. with freedom, comes the ability for her to TRY and save whoever is about to bite it. and so she complies with the more dominant side of herself, and lets out an earsplitting, window shattering shriek like scream. it ripples from her throat, through the entirety of her body. eyes become misty from it’s violence, her heart thudding so manically in her chest. IT’S STARTLING, it’s a reminder she’s alive. once it comes to an end, she takes a moment to suck breaths in, to compose herself. she KNOWS where the person is, her mind more clear. and it’s then that she turns around, and she sees him. SHE KNOWS WHAT HE IS. feels it in an uncomfy twisting of her gut before she regards his face. and her jaw sets. REAPERS, the kink in all of her plans. the biggest pains in the ---- or her ass. and she’s scoffing, shaking her head. if he was here, he may stop her. she couldn’t fail. couldn’t let someone pass, when she had the ability to save them. “ as MUCH as i’m sure you enjoyed the show, clearly someone’s going to die, so i better go ---- can’t be late when someone needs my help. and besides, you kinda make my skin crawl, with your stench of death. ” / @zcinx .
Bags under his eyes, he hadn’t slept in days and he wasn’t sure why but he was pretty sure that it had to do with this new environment. Putting out the cigarette, he ran a hand over his face and sighed, “I’m starting to think I should invest in melatonin”
mind had led her down a rabbit hole, which was nothing UNUSUAL, especially when she was outside around so many people. it lead to buzzing voices both in her head and in the environment. she was still adjusting to being able to fully TUNE them out in a healthier way than finding answers at the bottom of a bottle of vodka. it HELPED when she was really desperate for some peace. the voice of the person across from her, from her seat upon the bench has her head turning. and she lets emeralds scan over his features. she notices the SHALLOW graves beneath his eyes, how sleep seemed to have fled from him, and she relates. she hadn’t always been able to get a regular sleeping pattern either. “ maybe you should, or some sleeping pills. i’ve heard they let you SLEEP like the dead. ”

every so often the smile slipped, like now when she was bone tired. eve slept less than most, but that didn’t always stop the exhaustion from seeping in. she was still stuck in a strange town, after all. in the middle of who knows what dimension or universe or whatever. that was enough to mess with a person to say the least.
the combination of a weary body and overtaxed mind was prime game for not paying the least bit of attention where she was going. it didn’t take long until she found herself colliding with someone or something hard enough to toss the brunette on her ass.
“ow,” she hissed, whether it actually hurt or she just expected it to was anyone’s guess. either way she glanced up, hoping she’d knocked into a pole, not a person, but apologizing instinctively. “i’m so sorry.”
it was easy for her mind to shut off it’s core processes, especially when either listening to her banshee senses. or when she just wanted a short spurt of a break, even if it did never last. that was KIND of her choice in the last few minutes. being overwhelmed enough to revert to just existing. to just being, until the feeling of suffocation subsided. it wasn’t always a fix, but it gave a shot at release. at air filling her lungs without obstruction from unwelcome forces. and so, she’s to blame too, for her lack of paying attention.
her head springs back into action when she feels the collision, emeralds scanning down to the girl, and features filling with apology. HER WANTING TO APOLOGISE, wasn’t a regular thing. and instead, she leans her hand out, an offering of assistance, for the girl to take. IT WAS THE LEAST SHE COULD DO. “ hey no, don’t worry about it. i was in a whole other world, and didn’t pay attention either. ” there’s a hint of a smile, and she lets a laugh fall. for a moment, allowing a sense of relaxation to enter her form. it wouldn’t last, but she clings to it. “ are you alright ? ”
his feet hit the ground with a dull thud. the mortal cup’s tucked under one arm while his fingers wrap tightly around the hilt of the mortal sword. even deactivated as it is, he knows its importance. he has no intentions of letting either of the mortal instruments fall into the hands of his enemies. his lessers.
there’s no telling where exactly this portal’s dropped him — it appeared just as suddenly as he’d stepped through — but given the clave were just about to take him into custody … it was the better of the bad options.
he stashes the mortal instruments in a safe place away from prying eyes, locking them away with his stele until he can come back for them. he’s just emerging from the shadows, dusting off the legs of his pants, when he sees a familiar face. clarissa. maybe it would be smarter to sneak up on her, prey on the element of surprise, but irritation makes him victim to his own hubris. she did, after all, recently detrail his plan to destroy all downworlders.
DADDY’S ANGRY.
“ well, well. ” his words are a drawl, stele activating his strength and stamina runes in case this turns into a fight. “ look who it is. clarissa. nice to see you again. ”
the majority of the time the banshee tried to keep out of trouble, apart from her interference with the course of death ----- for her own TRAGIC reasons, of course. but other than that she spent time mostly just keeping out of town gossip. keeping to herself. having lived there her whole life, she used to be a lot more INVOLVED. she recalls memories of her mother baking for fates, or her performing in variety shows. but that long since passed with growing up, and the broken corpse of her mother on their living room floor. NOTHING LIKE LOSS TO TRULY BRING YOU CRASHING BACK DOWN TO REALITY.
even if she wants to keep out of the drama of reprieve, it didn’t stop the whispers in her head. how they ricochet off her brain and fizzle like air in a tin can against her skull. a true fucking nuisance, really. and so she knows there’s more souls there, more people. all more lost than she was, or maybe she’s right there with them. she isn’t sure. it’s on impulse alone that she’s in the town square, emeralds glancing through a sea of people, keeping her distance, but watching. maybe part of her feels like she can help, or she likes to think that. it’s a comfort, deep down. she won’t acknowledge it, because it means acknowledging years of trauma, that she’d kept locked up tight in a box. but it makes her NOT feel useless.
the voice snaps her out of her dissociation, she’d been listening to the background noise, both in her head and in the town. and yet, the voice could have faded into the background. but it’s very real ----- at least, demanding of her attention. it’s authoritative, and with the tone, she feels her heart ache. SHE’D LONG SINCE BEEN ESTRANGED FROM HER DAD. it didn’t mean she didn’t miss him. or crave the days where she’d spilled cherry soda on a white rug and got the lecture from hell. things were simpler then. she’s turning, confusion on her features, and then the name comes. and her nose crinkles. AGAIN? it’s not like she’d been comfortable in her own identity for a while, but now being in the midst of being assumed as someone else. there’s NOTHING more crazy annoying than it. clearly, this man has some issue with this girl, and she’s curious, really. “ listen, it’s clearly not long enough. if this is a line, or some kinda way of coming ONTO me, please find someone else and some NEW material. it’s CREEPY, and downright RUINING an already rubbish day. i don’t know you, and i don’t particularly want to. so please, GO AWAY. ”
knowing he’s not alone, that somefixtures of his former life still exist here in this straight-out-of-a-sci-fi-movie town, has been a relief. with clary around, he’s felt it easier to breathe when the panic sets in and the homesickness threatens to pull him under. so when he spots her from across the supermarket, he abandons his cookie crisp cereal and comes up from behind her. “ guess who. ” he teases, grin on his face before shifting to stand in front of her. “ you’re — wait. ” he pauses, brows furrowed. there’s something … different, about her. “ hold on. when did you decide to go blonde ? ”
the last few days had been pretty drab for the banshee, she’d spent some much needed time on her couch with day old pizza, vodka and re-runs of jerry springer. it was some fucked up form of SELF CARE. at least that’s what she’ll say, really ---- it was a lack of motivation, maybe she was lost. it wasn’t easy listening to voices all the time. HER MIND HADN’T BEEN HERS FOR A LONG TIME. since the age of fourteen to be exact. it was a fucking tragedy. and every so often, her body seemed to collapse under the weight. into it’s self. and she could only comply, and wait for the chaos to subside, so she can exist. though she doesn’t remember the last time she felt like she was living. instead, she gets by on auto pilot, on her supernatural side, and she’s long ignored her HUMAN needs. she had yet to find a reason to want to live. it’s something that hits her on her third day on the couch, though it’ll once again go ignored another time after she becomes overwhelmed again. but she realises, she needs actual food. she needs nourishment. it’s why she braves the outdoors. lets herself mingle among civilians that talk way too loud, amongst karen’s demanding their forty cents back because they were overcharged. THIS IS WHY HER HOME IS HER SAFE HAVEN.
it’s supposed to be a get in, and GET OUT. and yet, someone’s bothering her, the last thing she wants. and she’s letting her jaw clench for a second, before he comes into view. GUESS WHO? was she supposed to know this person? it’s for a second that she doubts herself. ( so long focused on saving others, that she wonders if this is someone she knew before. that her parents knew. ) she’s puzzled, without words. and for a second she just looks at him. not exactly sure of what to say. the question of her hair, has her hand reaching up absentmindedly to push it from her face. “ i needed a change. a reinvention. ” she offers, she’s treading carefully, not wanting to give too much away. LORD KNOWS SHE’S PISSED SOME PEOPLE OFF. but he seems glad to see her, and her heart for a moment springs to life, to swell at the look on his face. she doesn’t want to drop the bombshell, but her mouth moves before her mind can catch up. “ uh . . . sorry, but do i KNOW you ? ”
( katherine mcnamara, 20, she/her ) welcome to reprieve, AZALEA KELSEY. rumor has it they are a BANSHEE, from REPRIEVE but only they could tell you the truth! they reside in the DELTA district. when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine SKULL SHATTERING SCREAMS, COMBAT BOOTS, and LAUGHTER SO WARM THAT IT’S WORTHY OF HAPPY ENDINGS.
once again, it’s ya girl essy. and this is my banshee babe, azalea. so i’m going to just give a quick run down of who she is, and her background. i’m a little late getting it done due to currently being ill.
HER STORY.
azalea is a banshee / harbinger of death , the lore of which is mostly centred around this , which some influences from history and irish / scottish folklore which i’m still working out . the main being that it’s not just deaths caused by supernatural that she can feel .
she’s always lived in reprieve, with her family. born after a horrendous time of them trying for a baby, she was the greatest gift possible that they could have ever wanted. and she was always so loved.
there wasn’t always a time where she knew what she was — there was an instance as a child where she’d be in trances, even so young as three . she saw her first dead body at the age of five , having taken off in a park from the swing set with her mother chasing after her in a frantic worry . she’d found a person who’d overdosed and collapsed . and while she didn’t understand , there was nothing quite like the frenzy she was in , a terror of tears that her mother tried her best to console by saying that the man was simply sleeping . but azalea while she accepted it , it didn’t cure the dread that lingered in the pit of her stomach .
being an only child , she had a happy childhood , she was happy —- loved even , a sweet girl with a pure heart . but that all changed when she turned fourteen . she’d been over a friends house , doing homework when she had to leave , and hadn’t looked where she was going crossing the street —- being hit by a car , lead to her being a coma for weeks , on the verge of death and life . it was this that fully triggered her banshee abilities . it was while she was in a coma that her first full premonition came to her , that lead to her startling awake early hours with an almighty scream —- a scream that shook the building , smashed windows —– and quaked her to her core . because that scream sounded the thought , the premonition she didn’t want to accept , because it was the prediction of her mother’s death .
this lead to her ripping out her iv’s , and fleeing the hospital , as fast as her exhausted body could take her —- in pursuit of her mother , in hopes that she could stop what was going to happen . no matter how hard she pushed her failing body , that was still filled with sleep , she was too late . she’d gotten home to a busted door , a littered room with all their family pictures , glass everywhere and her mother’s body . she’d screamed out in agony as she cradled her , tears cascading her cheeks , voice raw from begging her to come back . after that she’d been catatonic for a while , angry at herself for failing her mother , she’d cried all her tears . she was angry at her father for working , for whatever happened to her mother , for not knowing what happened or why she was gone when she’d come back .
she spent the remaining years avoiding getting close to people —- trying to save those who she could , after making a vow with herself to never fail someone again . she couldn’t take back what is passed , but it’s what pushes her to try and protect and stop the inevitable . she’s estranged from her father after years of her own limits holding her back from forgiving him and forgiving herself . there was nothing for her to say now . maybe part of her thought he blamed her , for the accident , for what lead after it .
after research , she finally understood what and who she was —- what she was meant to do —- she was the wailing woman , a banshee , and it was one of the worst things that ever happened to her . it was something she didn’t want and didn’t ask for . azalea wanted only peace . and so she did her best , when screaming or being alerted to death , she tried to save as many as she could —- and she succeeded a lot , some she failed . notches under her belt of all the things she’d done wrong and never let go .
she takes not being able to save everyone extremely hard, because for her it’s like being back there in that very moment when she found her mother. she knows that trying to stop the process of people dying, is tampering with what is the natural order, and yet she doesn’t care. MAYBE she gave up caring about herself a long time ago. in fact because of everything she went through, has made reprieve a prison for her. or maybe who she is, is the true prison. so disrupting life? or the end of it for some, it’s worth it. it’s what keeps her going, damn to those who try and get in her way.
azalea is very hesitant to get close to people , maybe believing it’s easier to be alone after losing her mother and not being able to stop it —- she doesn’t want to be weak and experience that kinda loss again , she’s subsequently protecting herself . she runs on autopilot a lot , has a very sarcastic bitchy nature , but underneath the cold exterior , she’s warm —- very kind , and just wants to be loved . even if she knows it’ll only end one way

he’s coughing as he pulls himself up out of the water, lungs burning in his chest as he flops onto his back. a low chuckle slips out from between his lips, a glance at the waterproof watch on his wrist confirming his suspicions. “ six minutes. ” he murmurs, letting his head fall back against the dock. “ cool. new record. ” behind him, the flames lick the surface of the water — a side-effect of a phoenix’s resurrection. given the hour, he’d expected to be alone … but a clearing of the throat in the distance draws his attention. panic surges through him, struggling into a sitting position as he stumbles over his words. “ i — can explain this. ” no, he definitely can’t.
𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄 , it was something that was usual given her being a banshee ----- and the whole predicting death spiel . it was more hassle than it was worth , and now that she had left town, and reconnected with that part of herself. it was like it was alive, like ignoring it isn’t an option anymore. and so she’s not far from the lake , only coming to a stop just before the dock when awareness kicks in . she’s slightly dazed and confused , having not pushed to save people for a while. ( in fact, as selfish as it sounded, her life had been about something far more important. a pain in the ass reaper who had broken down her walls with such an ease ---- proving that he’d belonged in the very heart she had closed off to so many. AND SHE HADN’T WANTED TO COMPLICATE THAT WITH THEIR OPPOSING VIEWS AND THEIR SPECIES. )
emeralds are surveying the area, and she’s getting ready to take a swan dive into the water, at least to try and save them. though it looks like she’s too late. THE HEARTBREAKING REALITY WITH BEING A BANSHEE. mind flits back to being too late to save her mother, and the blood in her veins runs ice cold. but as she takes a step toward the water, he bursts out of it, and she’s taken aback. both in shock from his reappearance, and then by how enticing the flames licking the water was. guess she wasn’t needed after all. she’s crossing arms over her middle, coughing to alert her presence before he starts to ramble and splutter to save himself. his previous words before he knew she was there have provided enough insight to this being some kind of SICK experiment, and that grates on her. this part of her, having to be suffocated by the presence of death had been a curse for as long as she could remember, and now there were people so willingly dancing with death for FUN. and she was losing control of herself to attempt to stop it, or at least to be lead to the bodies. “ you’d better start TALKING. and fast. ” she comments, eyes ablaze, as they bore into the sodden boy. “ do you happen to ENJOY dying ? it seems like this is some joke, or have i gathered this wrong ? ” head nods to the watch upon his wrist. ALL SHE WANTS IS SOME UNDERSTANDING. and some peace, god some peace would be nice.
sometimes it’s the simple things that make life worth living. or existing, rather, given he’s not quite alive. semantics. however way you look at it, even beings with cosmic awareness can enjoy things like ice-cream on a scorching summer day; flavor ( cotton candy ) picked after meticulous observation. he’s just about to try it, see what all the hype is about, when something pricks at his awareness. it’s a feeling he knows all too well, one he used to associate with a pint-sized headache. banshees. somewhere nearby. a quick scan finds the responsible party quickly, though his shock sees the ice-cream cone slip between clumsy fingers.
the last time he saw azalea, it was in the shadows cast from the moonlight in his bedroom. there one minute and gone the next. he knew humans could be restless, often tossed and turned, or even struggled to stay asleep, so he incorrectly assumed she’d come back. THAT WAS SIX WEEKS AGO. what she’s doing here, now, is anyone’s guess. “ i’d say welcome back. ” his quip is dry, gaze staring forlornly down at the ice-cream melting into dreamy swirls by his feet. “ — but i don’t want to. ” succinct, petty, and to the point; his specialty. “ bye. ” the turn is immediate, all instincts screaming to put distance between them. it’s a red herring though, a false indication, because if he really wanted to escape her he could have teleported away; the fact that he hasn’t speaks volumes. @shebanshee
𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 , especially given the circumstances in which she up and left ----- and part of her was still confused as to why she’d even ventured into the town. hadn’t she spent her whole life already running ? and now, what ? had that changed ? clearly not, given that she had done it for the past six weeks. and yet, even when she’d left, there was a yearning so potent, something she felt in her very bones. a need to come back. BACK HOME. because this had been the only place she’d felt at ease, that she’d made a life for herself, and she’d sacrificed it in minutes, instead of being upfront about the issues she was facing. she’d let it get so bad ----- she’d let herself be ruled by what she was, rather than take control over it. it could be argued that she never truly had full control over it anyway, especially with how it had literally lost her, her life for her interference. there was an awareness within her, a feeling almost like a the prickling of pins and needles, it goes hand in hand with the shiver like sensation that creeps down her spine. A REAPER. and yet, while their species were supposed to oppose her, she can’t help that her heart picks up, she can’t help the secret hope that it’s him. SHE’D RUINED ANY CHANCES FOR THEM. she knows that, but it didn’t change how she felt about him. the most real feeling she’d experienced in such a long time. that she’d ALLOWED herself to entertain. MAYBE THEY WERE DOOMED FROM THE START.
emerald hues scan to meet him as she turns, and she’s swallowing hard ----- forcing down her emotions, though it’s not easy. it feels like she’s about to choke on them. or that they’re trying to crawl their way BACK out of her throat. hand pushes a long now dyed blonde curl from her face, a nervous reaction ---- instinctual defence mechanism. the reception she receives is expected, but it doesn’t feel any better, she bows her head for a moment, casting a glance to the melted dessert in front of him. eyebrow quirks, almost slightly amused that he was enjoying human delicacies. HAD SHE BEEN THE ONE TO KICK START SOME OF THIS ? as he’s turning to leave, she sighs. any hope she feels is vibrating within the confines of a chaos littered chest, and she’s not sure how to react. but he doesn’t go. he doesn’t vanish, like she had seen so many times before. “ so i guess you’re not going to go POOF like you do ----- ” lips quirk almost, and she bites it back, hand reaches out to his shoulder, resting atop, almost to stop him. it’s pulled back as quick as it happens ----- she’s overstepping, she’s sure of it. “ i’m sorry, zain. ” words are murmured, sincere, and she doesn’t know what else to say other than that. that could sum it up. “ please ----- i know i DON’T deserve it, and you have ever single right to run for the hills, but please let me explain. i know i fucked up, majorly. i ruined us. but please let me tell you why i left. i can buy you another ice cream too, PEACE OFFERING ? ”
𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐔𝐙𝐙𝐈𝐍𝐆, almost alive with the amount of voices she could hear ----- it was giving her the most explosive of pains between her eyebrows. like needles piercing flesh, she didn’t expect this to be so overwhelming to come back to. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TOWN WAS MORE PROMINENT FOR COMING BACK TO LIFE INSTEAD OF BEING DEAD. maybe the dead that didn’t come back were jealous, that would make sense. it didn’t help that someone was tapping away at the table opposite, it was ricocheting almost, making the sounds she already had to SUFFER with a million times worse. fingertips reach up to rub at her temples, in attempt to soothe the ache ---- thankfully it wasn’t as bad as before she left. but the noise interference from others, it didn’t sit well for her. jaw clenches, so hard that she’s surprised her teeth don’t break, before she’s snapping. “ listen buddy, i get that you’re impatient, you can do you and whatever, but do it without annoying the rest of the population. please. HAVE some consideration. i’m positive everyone else here agrees with me. it’s NOT going to make the waitress serve you quicker. ”

( katherine mcnamara, 20, she/her ) welcome to san francisco, ALEXIA KELSEY. rumor has it they are a BANSHEE, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine skull shattering screams, combat boots, laughter sounding so warm that sounds worthy of happy endings. ( essy, 24, she/her, gmt )
hey my loves, it’s your favourite messy disaster girl essy, and i had to bring this babe back because i missed her more than LITERAL words. so all of her info will be below the read more. :))
HER STORY.
alexia is a banshee / harbinger of death , the lore of which is mostly centred around this , which some influences from history and irish / scottish folklore which i’m still working out . the main being that it’s not just deaths caused by supernatural that she can feel .

alexia is very hesitant to get close to people , maybe believing it’s easier to be alone after losing her mother and not being able to stop it —- she doesn’t want to be weak and experience that kinda loss again , she’s subsequently protecting herself . she runs on autopilot a lot , has a very sarcastic bitchy nature , but underneath the cold exterior , she’s warm —- very kind , and just wants to be loved . even if she knows it’ll only end one way .

alexia came back to life, in san francisco, and found it horrendously hard to adjust, the lack of abilities was an adjustment and yet because she was a bit more free she had the opportunity to be herself again, without the burdens. she had the original displeasure, and later pleasure of bumping into someone from her past. a reaper, called zain. now, her and zain’s history was a treacherous one, him trying to reap the souls that were due to die, her fighting and using her abilities to save them. were they ever truly made for anything OTHER than being on the opposite sides? it seemed so, after what was supposedly a dream where she got to see him as the vulnerable, a panic attack of all things stopped with her lips finding his. and suddenly even though he was the one struggling for oxygen, it was her that felt like she could finally BREATHE again. suddenly he wasn’t a pain in the ass anymore, or he was and it was something she could tolerate because the good outweighed the bad. they had a chance at normality, not having to give into their abilities. and truthfully, alexia fell for him. well and truly in love with him, getting the chance at a domesticated bliss, and he got to see past the exterior. they had been through so much together, her saving him, him having to watch her die when he reaped her previously. they had been to hell and back.
the domestic bliss turned out to be too good to be true, there is only so long that someone can suppress their abilities. the voices had always been something she had tried to tune out, and managed to but when the barrier came down, it got so overwhelming that she couldn’t deal with it. it was a particular night when she decided to leave, when she couldn’t tune it out anymore, when her throat was LITERALLY aching for her to scream. an overwhelming urge, so much that it was this heaviness that she felt in her entirety. her logic was to leave, to scream away from people in order to stop any harm she could cause to them. even if she hadn’t fought to save people for a while, she still didn’t want to commit a mass homicide because she screamed so hard that gave people aneurysms, or literally blew off their heads. she managed to get to an empty field, and unleashed all she had kept in. it was so intense that it left her exhausted for days on end, suddenly the voices felt a little bit easier to deal with. she felt lighter, but then leaving zain without saying goodbye had made her to feel HORRENDOUS. like finally things had been GOOD in her life and she had hit self destructive mood, she’d screwed up the one good thing. the one person who truly cared about her. and so days turned into six weeks of being gone. and yet she’s decided to come back to san francisco, she’s trying to tell herself it’s because she’s been drawn back here by her abilities, but she knows it’s really him that’s drawn her back. and a hope of some normalcy again. and maybe because san francisco is the only place that seems like home. but was that the truth? or did the city just draw her back with it’s magic.
