EVERAN: Please tell me nobody else got stuck in a stupid building on the night of a full moon.

making quick work to get to her place, knowing it would most likely be where she first went. hoping that nothing happened. zach paced outside the door, her couldn’t hear her inside and it caused him to worry more. he was ready to panic and go out looking for her, but when he turned, ready to leave, there she was. he rushed toward her and pulled her into his arms.

as soon as he was able to, the young scottish witch left the bookstore with only one thing on his mind. grace. ‘ yeah. home. ’ she had texted. he couldn’t describe the emotion he was feeling. he wasn’t used to it. the trip home was a short one, he wasted no time in getting there and letting himself in. she wasn’t there. the frown that made it’s way on his face disappeared almost as soon as it appeared. the door was being opened again. “ you’re not allowed to leave this house for the next couple days. ” he said, jokingly, as he pulled her short frame into him.

“ oh shit– mav! ” he rushed to his brothers side. he looked completely out of it. what had happened?! “ mav? ” his brother was obviously in his own head. “ hey– hey, mav.. what happened? are you okay? ”

                    ❝  EXCUSE  ME  ,  HOW  DO  YOU  know  if  an  avocado's  ripe  —  oh  ,  you're  the  woman  i  almost  kissed  at  the  fair  .  ❞      there's  a  knowing  grin  that  settles  on  his  features  ,  taking  off  his  shades  .  he  wasn't  used  to  it  ,  though  .  taking  off  his  sunglasses  was  like  opening  another  part  of  him  up  ,  leaving  him  vulnerable  .  but  there  was  something  so  kind  about  her  eyes  that  made  her  too  trusting  .  it  was  almost  nerve  -  wracking  .  still  though  ,  he  supposed  he  could  drop  his  guard  just  for  a  few  seconds  in  the  grocery  store  ,  right  ?  nobody  would  get  murdered  in  the  five  minutes  he  took  to  talk  to  the  pretty  lady  ...  right  ?      ❝  glad  you  made  it  home  safely  that  night  .  ❞      /      @sorcieli

                    no words seem to come to his mind for what to say. he should of known it was coming. yet he couldn’t hide the emotions on his face if he tried. he wanted to laugh the  h u r t  away, like he usually would, but he also wanted to hate her for doing this AGAIN. a look of stoic overcame his features. “ okay then, grace. i guess you finally get what you wanted. i’m done. with you. with us. you won’t have to deal with my kind of crazy any longer. ” keep fighting for her! his mind screamed at him, but he couldn’t. he may deserve to be hurt, but he was done with this pain. “ i  won’t keep fighting. it’s your turn… and we both know you don’t CARE about me. ”

                    HE  WASN’T  ALL  THAT  AFFECTIONATE  , that  much  was  known  .  he  wasn’t  used  to  comforting  friends  (  if  it  was  classified  that  he  even  had  any  besides  jack  )  ,  after  all  ,  most  of  the  acquaintances  he  made  were  on  the  force  .  the  fbi  force  .  who  were  mostly  trained  to  reign  in  their  emotions  .  still  ,  he  wasn’t  used  to  how  the  outside  world  worked  .  but  there  was  something  in  his  bones  that  told  him  to  be  there  .  arms  extend  to  cold  features  ,  head  resting  atop  brown  locks  as  his  hand  rubs  at  her  back  comfortingly  .      ❝  it’ll  all  be  okay  .  ❞

❝ i shouldn’t have to ask where it came from. ❞ her dark hues glinted in the moonlight. ❝ but you know the rules, my love. no more games—playtime is over. ❞ veins trickled down from her eyes. ❝ i won’t be protecting you from the guard this time, not even from myself. ❞
