MONSTER !

kira huffed and rolled her eyes. she couldn’t tell if it was a cop out or a legitimate answer. it seemed as though it could go either way. she eyed him for a moment before nodding. “fine. i’ll allow that answer i suppose. but only because i’m in a generous mood.”

“i know probably more than you would like.” she had studied the files on all the super beings in town especially any she thought would be some sort of threat. she knew whom to keep a closer eye on than others. after what he did to her last week and how he was talking to her now made her think that he is someone whom she shouldn’t take her eyes off from. if he could do that to a hunter who knows who else he could do something similar too. the fact he had others under him who worked for him made her more suspicious of him. “i don’t care what super you are. it is getting near to curfew and i don’t want you out on the streets alone.” katherine carefully stepped closer towards him studying him to see if he would make any sudden moves. “after the last time we crossed paths how can you blame me.”

“Very true.” Rubbing her arm she smiles. Had it been long since she’d seen him? The years seemed to be blending together. Reyna wasn’t sure. But it felt like a century. Everything seemed to calm down when she looked across the table. As if nothing mattered. Everything seemed so small when the impossible happened. And sitting with Ardan always felt like the impossible.

“Could be better.” Looking down she chuckles. “I had a really good thing. But I got scared and fucked it up.”

“It can be really bad when you loose your muse, it’s happened to me a few times before.”

At his gaze Lillian looked down at her black heeled boots. He was right, she did mean her witty remark. What she didn’t mean was the tone of how it came out. “A water would be great thank you.” Lillian followed him towards the bar. When she was close enough she quietly pulled out a bar stool to sit on. She wasn’t sure how she was supposed to bring up the information that she found in his office. She didn’t want him to feel upset or hurt that she wanted to find out where she came from. 

“–Asteria had been interesting, to say the least. Let’s just say, that I’ve lived an unimaginable life ever since I arrived here.”

It wasn’t an understatement. While she’s still trying to adapt to her new life, the small town has proven her wrong, when it comes to.. surprises.

“–So, are you going to tell me about what kind of creature you are? Or do I have to make a couple of guesses myself to find the answer?”

Somehow Oliver took comfort in the fact Ardan was capable staying around for a long time. He saw it as something stable which was something he wasn’t used to when it came to family. “Whoa. The frick? Blood tastes better than food?” Oliver looked over him aghast. “It tastes like cooper when I bite my tongue.” He chuckled taking another bite of his food. “Like what does blood taste like to you guys? I’m curious. I try to ask Amelia about this kinda stuff and I get the feeling she doesn’t like talking about it.” 

“oh my god. are you always so dramatic, ardan?” kira tilted her head and smiled. “i mean if you had to choose one thing about you that would be considered a blessing, and one thing that would be considered a curse what would it be?”

katherine felt herself grit her teeth at his statement about her. any ‘good’ feelings she had felt towards him had just gotten thrown out of the window. she wouldn’t dare to have a super make a comment like that one saying she would make a fine ‘underling’. “even if you did want to turn me i would’ve of killed you before you had a chance. that is one thing that you wouldn’t get.” she didn’t need this interaction between them to turn sour, but she couldn’t keep silent on that. even if it did end up coming down to him wanting to turn her she would rather die before he did so. being in this town and coming across supers like she hadn’t before it had changed her opinion that they aren’t all bad, but she still had that mindset of never wanting to be turned. katherine smirked slightly at his questions. “here. right now. i already know all about you unfortunately.” katherine looked behind them for a second before taking her gaze back to him. “were you saying bye bye to someone?” katherine paused for a few seconds before speaking up again. “it is getting late, i think it is time you should be heading home.”

Lillian could feel his gaze on her and she tried her best to leave her face as neutral as possible, not to reveal anything. She simply nodded as her response to him calling Kade. Just when she thought she was out of the clear of that conversation her father had brought him up again. “Nothings wrong, sometimes people just need some space. You should know a thing or two about that.” Lillian swung open the bars door and walked inside. Sighing she turned around. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean that.” 

“Really? What made you stop?”She asked, tilting her head a little bit.

Lecia smiled as he took a seat next to her, her legs swinging just a little bit. “I’m a bartender at Half Moon, but I like to draw and pain in my spare time.”

“–The pleasure is all mine.”

Her steadfast gaze did not falter. It hadn’t slipped from her attention, about the way he addressed Asteria as his home. Even though she found his statement rather suspicious, the young wolf still returned his smile, while taking his hand and give it a firm squeeze. Thankfully, she could still hide her surprise upon feeling his cold skin contact with her warm palm.

“–Well, Ardan. I believe we could leave the incident in the past and move on?”

kira smiled and shook her head. “i’ve been told it’s a blessing and a curse i was given by fate. i’m luckily the cute twin, but unfortunately the clumsy one.” she explained. “what’s your blessing and what’s your curse?”

”At least a birthday party you’ll never ever forget?” Lillian didn’t notice when her father stopped walking at first. When she did Lily turned to face him. “I appreciate you looking out for me I really do.” After the night in the woods she realized how lucky she truly was to have the childhood she did. “And I get that you worry.” Ever since she could remember Lillian always wanted Kade to go wherever she did. He was her best friend, her knight and the fact he wasn’t here with her was definitely a red flag. She hadn’t been gone from him very long and she hated how much she already missed him. “You are more than welcome to call him.”
