#martha.

(( @time-displaced ))

She is not alone.

She fumbles around for a light, for clarity, for understanding, and her hands find a face.

She screams, astonished and terrified by the immediacy of it, the reality in a world that is often so unreal.

    “martha, dear. how lovely it is to see you again. i must admit i wasn’t looking my best last time with spoke but i’m on the mend.” the woman smiled and held her hands out. oh, how she loved the sound of her own voice. “i never got the opportunity to thank you for stopping by last year. you would have thought others would also have the initiative to check in on an executive but i digress. this is erik’s ship after all and can’t say he pushes the agenda well.” she needed to be careful when speaking ill about erik to the younger crowd. they were both very different people, opinions constantly clashing and different agendas along with methods causing a clear divide between her and erik and even elizabeth. “how have you been keeping? well, i hope?”

        emmeline hadn’t been able to calm her nerves in the previous few weeks. she couldn’t understand why she felt a sense that something bad was about to happen and her tensions being high only made that more likely. nathaniel was trying to smoke her out, most likely still having her being followd, all the while the essex escapees saw her as a target - they were vengeful but she’d never be able to make it up to them. going around a corner, the woman caught sight of another figure and jolted forward, coffee spilling onto her hand. a chain reaction of her dropping it and letting out a shocked groan followed. “i’m sorry.” she looked at the other. “i didn’t get any on you, did i?”

嗚呼、誰かがすごく好きな人が出来ると人はただの面倒なオンナになる、と言ったように私もそうなんだ。 例外ではない。まさしくその通りなんだと思う。例外であってほしかった。 私は貴方のココロが分からないから。口からでるその言葉は本当なの？私は貴方のなんなの？ 問い出せばキリがない。そんな面倒はごめんだね。でも知りたいんだよ。 やっぱり私は面倒なオンナ。 貴方が思ってる以上に私は貴方のことが好きなのよ。 始まったばかりの恋が終わりを迎えているのではないかと常に不安なのよ。お分かり？ はあ、15歳って自体で面倒なのよね。そこが私のお気に入りだけどね。
