❛     I’M  NOT  SURE  THIS  is for me  . . .  this isn’t really my scene.   ❜

                      there’s a pause. Holmes keeps his gaze on her, following her as she slides out of bed in search of shoddily discarded garments, thrown carelessly a few hours prior. No active case to engage his interest, but for once he isn’t bored... Eileen’s company is more than stimulating. 

                                           “you have work?” 

Eileen hadn’t participated in the poker game. She didn’t know how to, so instead she opted on reading a book. Of course she had still watched the game, seeing people getting naked was one of her favorite things to see after all. Especially seeing Zara naked, she had liked the girl since a while now and seeing her here, up and close, she might have developed a little crush on the outgoing brunette.

Hearing the story, the hairs on her arms stood up and a shiver went down her spine. Which was weird, the Irish girl wasn’t one to get scared easily, but just knowing that it had happened here and it was more then just a horror story got to her. A vote, she heard her name being called a few times, together with two other names it became a tie between them. The last vote and again her name was being called. Fuck, she thought to herself, she could always decline, but she would be seen as the coward of the group and that was not done. Slowly she looked around the group and acted cool, like it didn’t bother her. She shrugged, before asking, “When should I go?”

It was time, her feet felt heavy. A few of them went with her to make sure she was going in and to lock the door behind her. She laughed at them and kissed Zara on her lips. “For good luck,” she said with a wink, a last small wave and she went into the room with her pillow tucked under her arm. She heard the lock click into place. Eileen looked around, trying to get a feel for the room and seeing where she could get comfortable. She looked outside, laid down on the bed, walked around again. It was difficult for her to relax, she was absolutely certain that she wouldn’t get any sleep tonight.

As she stood by the window, gazing out, she heard a noise behind her. Eileen turned around rapidly and saw a figure standing there. She tried to scream, but the other had their hand over her mouth, so instead of a scream came out a muffled cry for help. All of a sudden she felt a sharp pain between her ribs, her hands instantly went towards it, to feel the knife inside of her. Tears welled up in her eyes, a muffled scream was given into the hand that covered it, while she started jerking, she needed to get away, Eileen needed to get out of this room, but the other person was too strong and she already felt her life leaving her by every drop of blood that fell on the floor.

With a last surge of adrenaline she pushed her attacker away and freed herself only to fall on the floor because of the loss of blood. Eileen closed her eyes, she was tired, oh so tired and she thought of home, of the beaches she had roamed so often, she kept her thoughts on that while she slowly stopped breathing.

Send me a url and I’ll write some positivity for it.

[+2/11+2 urls] - the last of this series of positivity memes sent in, and i’m so glad you sent this in so i can gush about you!

@hardwhipping​ - one of the greatest things i admire about raven is that she is a family person. she places so much importance on her family, and i admire her for her tireless efforts to work simply for their welfare. i can only imagine just how difficult the obstacles are to raise a family, not least because of an increasingly costly world. but her love and dedication are so palpable that it makes me smile to know that this right here is a true family and they’re going to be just fine and she totally deserves whatever good thing comes her way.

as a person who only has one muse, i always marvel at everyone who writes for more than one. raven has like fifty! i kid i kid, but she does have quite a number. while i am not familiar with all of them, i see how she treats each of them with so much care! 

as for eileen, she plays her so convincingly! with a background and subject matter that can easily lead to stereotypes and missteps, she imbues in eileen a humanity that’s both profound and sympathetic. i lowkey read some of her threads and it’s amazing watching how she takes the time to build her relationships to make them real. i’ve only just started writing with eileen and i’m of course interested to see where it leads!

      ❛ HEY, Eileen. You any good in the kitchen? I was gonna try and get a few snacks going to warm everyone up. ❜
