the curse had been broken, his birth mother had fulfilled the prophecy foretold twenty eight years prior. henry mills had believed that now things would be perfect, that his life would have everything he had waited so long for to happen. only it wasn’t, emma wasn’t as happy as he thought she would have been - she had found her parents and him, so why wasn’t she happy. it all came to light, eventually she had told her family of the life she had before he had found her. guilt ridden, henry felt as though it was his fault - after all she upped and left everything to follow him into the unknown. a few weeks earlier he had sent a postcard to the woman emma had told them all about, the woman she had left for him. with no response, the boy hadn’t given up hope just yet. he would help emma to become happy again. 

Nehir: I finished that drawing of you I did the other day.

Nehir: Do you want to come over and see it?

Eva continued to back away as quickly as she could, with little room to run since he was blocking the only exit to the alleyway beside the club. The sounds were so loud from inside that no one would have heard her should she scream for help. As she moved, she finally felt her back hitting the wall and she opened her mouth to beg him once more, but before she could utter a word, she felt the blade piercing her stomach. A scream of agony left her lips a she doubled over in pain, and as it was pulled from the wound, her knees gave way beneath her. 

She didn’t even register what happened next, or what was happening to her attacker, as she crumbled to her side clutching her stomach and feeling the warmth of sticky blood on her fingers. She began to sob as she felt fear overcoming her, not knowing what was going to happen next. Would she die? How long before she bled out with no one knowing she was there? 

It had been two weeks, since Adriena and Meredith’s relationship had been brought to the attention of the chief thanks to an anonymous tip. Two weeks, since Detective Adriena Anderson had been given the ultimatum to either break up with Meredith, or transfer Meredith from Alpha. Two Weeks, since Adriena, in frustration had made herself a third option and quit her job as the lead Detective of the Alpha Team in station seventeen’s homicide department.

A lot had changed for the A Team in those two weeks, most relevant of which, was the new leadership. Everyone on the team assumed that the chief would promote Max into the role of lead Detective, instead, she had moved up the lead of the station’s Beta team, Tina Jackson, and moved Max out of Alpha to run Beta. Angela was given Logan as her partner, and Meredith was benched. Everything had been turned upside down, and the team was working hard to do their best with the cards they had been dealt. @thelightxwithin​

It didn’t take long for Angela and Logan to notice that Tina seemed to have her eye on Meredith. Maybe three days into them working under Tina, the flirting had started. Meredith was put in a weird position, where she couldn’t do much about it, because Tina was her boss now. When she ignored Detective Jackson’s advances, she would be stuck in the office with paperwork, when she was polite to the new leader, she was given actual detective work to do. None of them felt like they could go to the chief, because they were afraid that Meredith would be blamed again. It seemed that the new chief had some sort of bone to pick with Meredith. Joanna’s theory was that the new chief had been a rival to Meredith’s mother.

Adriena knew about Tina’s advances, because Meredith, and the rest of the team told her. Meredith had assured her that there was nothing going on, and that she was in no way interested in the new team lead, and she was pretty sure that Adriena believed and trusted her.

Alpha was between cases, and a small group of officers from the station were planning a night out. Joanna and Tara invited the old A team, Adriena included, but somehow, the little get together had become a much bigger event. Almost the whole station was there that night, and from the looks of it, Detective Jackson had been drinking more than she could handle.

Logan and Tara had disappeared, twenty or so minutes ago, probably off making out somewhere, (they did that a lot now), Angela was outside, and on the phone with her girlfriend, who was calling from Dubai. Max was on the dance floor with Felix and Lucy, Meredith was at a table with Joanna, Danielle and Devin, Adriena had just left the table to go get a refill for her and Jo.

Meredith didn’t see the beginning of the altercation between Adriena and Tina. She turned when Devin pointed it out, and by the time she was looking that way, Max was standing between the two older women. Adriena had fire behind her eyes, and Tina was wearing a smug, drunken smile. “Okay, I swear to god if you do not stop praying on my girlfriend,” Adriena was saying as she took a step forward closer to Max’s outstretched hand. “Are you threatening me, Detective Ander-- oh wait, it’s just Adriena now, isn’t it?”

Both Meredith and Joanna got up and started their way toward the interaction. Jo, joined Max between the two women, and Meredith placed her hand on Adriena’s arm. “Hey, she’s not worth it, come on, come back to the table.”

The apartment door swung open only a few moments after the other knocked, Shay grinning at the blonde. “Well hey there gorgeous.” A hand raised, offering Adriena a slice of pizza. “Hungry?” The pizza had arrived mere minutes before the other woman, which was perfect timing. Shay stepped aside, letting the blonde enter the apartment. “We gonna netflix?” 

Katie had been on the fence about visiting Maeve at the precinct. But it was the only place she could actually find her. The blonde had been ignoring her for the better part of a week and Katie was starting to think that whatever there was between them was over. She doesn’t mind it, really, she doesn’t but the brunette does think that she deserved the courtesy of a conversation. Katie had tried all the venues available to her but nothing so she ended up going to the station.

Stepping inside the building felt like an entirely different world. The energy seem to shift the further in she stepped. It is the reason why she doesn’t really like coming to the station. “Excuse me.” She spoke, trying to catch the blonde’s attention, when she did, the brunette politely smile. “I’m looking for detective Maeve Spier.”

Eva had to admit that it was quite an impressive club, despite it not being entirely her thing, and as she was served her drink, the music pumped through her body wonderfully. Sipping her soda, she watched her friends disappearing into the crowded dancefloor and made to join them, however found herself bumping into another young woman.
