"Wow, just... wow. Charles, your mother’s a real nuisance." Charlie’s Fingers tapped on his phone screen, texting away at this reply. It was the worst time for his mom to be shooting a message that she’ll be coming home in the morning. Who knew parents in modern times evolved to be so... ANNOYING??? This is all manageable, of course, giving the ol’ ‘ K MA STAY SAFE. ‘ as a sign that he’s not ignoring her. SEEN 9:45PM... ------and a Heart reaction??? How cute... technology is quite adorable. He’ll dwell on this form of response later, sighing as he stuffing his phone into his back pocket. The Demon’s found itself lurking in the woods. It could sense darkness looming here, and it’s drawing him in like moths towards an inferno. And then he found her, the huntress herself. Shooting arrows in the dark. But, the Tengu can feel the temptations to detach from all emotion and go in for the kill. And he’ll do anything in his power to make sure she gets succumbs to it. “You shouldn’t be doing this in the dead of night,” Charlie teased loudly, holding one of Allison’s arrows like a wand. “Someone could get really hurt.”

his hands found allison’s, thumbs stroking the back of her hand as he offered her a small smile. “i’ve never felt like this before. and i’m afraid too. doesn’t mean this... us... isn’t the best thing to ever happen to us.” he spoke softly, and brought one hand up to her face, his fingers brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “you make me happy. i hope i make you happy too.”

“oh wow, where did that cutie come from?” she’d almost missed that they were standing under the mistletoe, but theo had grabbed the girl and pulled her close. a smirk on his lips, his arms wrapped around allison’s slender frame and pressed his lips to hers.

they had been bickering over the plan for the hundredth time. the argent believed she knew the woods just as well as the wolf that was standing in front of her but the truth was that derek had more knowledge than anyone in the pack about the reserve. “if they were to come into town then they would use the south way through the woods, not the east. it holds too much energy that way and other supernaturals can sense it.” he rolled his eyes and was about to say something about how hunters wouldn’t know that when her lips pressed against his own, shushing him instantly as he tried to figure out why she was kissing him in the first place. he pulled away from her with eyebrows scrunched together. “what are you doing?”

          "i would suggest not going that way."   he doesn't want to startle the girl, but lincoln knows what lies in the directions that she's heading. knows these woods better than any of the sky children ever will. it's with careful steps that he moves around the brunette, going a few feet from where she was standing to bend over and brush away some scattered leaves.   "bear trap."   the urge to explain the dangers of that, of being out so far from camp alone, bubble up on the back of his throat. but he swallows it down, forces it away, and stands up straight with a smile that he hopes is friendly enough. he can never tell which of them will be welcoming of his presence, and which will look at him like he's out to kill them.   "are you lost?"

Head shifts, curls skidding audibly across her pillow; she turns half in his direction, but does not meet his gaze. Not yet anyway. 𝚆𝙷𝚈 𝙸𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁𝙴 𝙰𝙻𝚆𝙰𝚈𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝚄𝚁𝙶𝙴 𝚃𝙾 𝙶𝙸𝚅𝙴 𝙸𝙽 𝚃𝙾 𝙷𝙸𝙼? Small sigh escapes her, a nod coming at length but not before penetrating forest hues find his face. ❝  Fine. On one condition, ❞ she decides, hand pressed into the mattress as she sits up, ❝  First, I want you to apologise. ❞
