heavy is the head

to lettie's surprise, it was hard to not feel annoyed. i guess i'm just naturally great. why wouldn't this fell think she was? if lettie had to guess, she'd probably lived an easy life. the fell's had money and power. that was nothing new. lettie had seen their wealth first hand. two hundred years later, and they were still on top. it was sickening, but she kept that opinion to herself. "guess you are," she replied instead with a forced smile. "we don't know each other, do we? you look familiar."

Tina smiled as the other girl seemed to agree with her. " I don't remember seeing you around." Although for all that Tina knew Lettie could have lived in Mystic Falls all her life. The heiress only paid attention to people she thought were worth keeping tracks off. " I'm sure I do." She said with an absent smile. Sometimes it felt flattering to look familiar, sometimes it was just a reminder that she did not stand out. "I'm a Fell." There were many of those in the area. You could throw a stone and hit three blonde Fells. " Maybe you've seen my sister or cousins around." Or perhaps the other woman had seen Tina's infamous mugshot. It had circulated quite a bit, much to her family's dismay.

he snorted. confident much ?? but , hell , she probably would. he wasn't the one that had been taking down cans with the single-mindedness of fucking sisyphus for the last god knows how long ... " do i get a warm up run first ?? "

She paused, debating whether or not to grant Jeremy's request. On one hand she wanted to win at any cost, on the other hand, would he really be a bigger threat with a few minutes to practice ? " I give you one game to warm up because I'm high on endorphins but that's all I'll concede." One could not say she was not merciful.

he idled through the carnival , stopping at booths here and there. gave prizes to kids. lost too much money. during his time , he moved from ring toss to darts to water guns ..... and tina stayed at the cans. apparently she had a hell of an arm on her and a vendetta against tin. who'd of guessed ?? walking over , he stole a glance out of the corner of his eye. " trying out for the softball team ?? " he asked , voice wry.

Tina turned to look at who had spoken to her. Jeremy Gilbert. Not the audience she had aimed for but he would do. " They would only be so lucky." However Tina was not really a team kind of person. She was not somone who shared the spotlight. It had to solely be on her. " Care to compete with me ? Or are you to scared I'll demolish you ?" Male ego could be so fragile.

lettie had been passing by right as the game ended. the ringing of a bell to signal a winner caught her attention, and her gaze drifted over to the blonde who caught in the throes of celebration. it took a second, but the face quickly registered in her mind. a fell. she wasn't sure which, but lettie had seen this girl as she stalked researched the family. slowly moving forward to get closer, lettie cocked her head to the side and pretended to look at the game. "looks like you're real good at this. you play a lot?"

Tina turned to register the other girl. " Thanks." She replied with a smile. She loved compliments. " Not really." Unlike many things in her life, she had not practised for carnival games. Not having seen the use or anticipated that it could be a way to dominate others. " I guess I'm just naturally great." All the pent up rage and anger was more likely a better explanation.

"wow. that's a lot of confidence you got there. congratulations." vanessa felt decently confident that she could do better, but she had been trained in hitting targets since she old enough to hold a projectile. "hey, wait. are you a fell?" her father had mentioned there may be a new fell face to get used to when they handled council work.

" Thank you." Tina revered in the compliment. She was vain like that. " Yes. Yes I am." She was not surprised someone recognised her or her family. They were an household name. They owned like half the town and there were plethora of them. " I'm Tina." She specified. Not wanting to be mistaken for one of the numerous blond Fell around.

"humble and good at knocking down cans. you've got a lot going for you." violeta had been on her way past when a curtain of blonde hair had almost smacked her in the face. carnival games weren't really her style, and she didn't win enough to gloat. to each their own?

" I know thank you ! I'm the whole package !" She pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Violeta's words. " Care for some lessons ? They come for free." Tina liked feeling superior to others.

"No, no--I mean I'm sure it's totally normal to have a bunch of bodies mysteriously turning up drained of blood. Happens all the time in other towns, you know, animals just...do that, they bite people and....suck the blood out..." he hardly get the words out with a straight face. "I'm just saying, it's weird. I don't know any mountain lions personally, but I've never heard of one leaving the body afterwords. The point is kind of to eat it."

" People don't care about hearing about your crazy conspiracy theories." She shot him a contemptuous glare. She hoped that her little unimpressed mean girl act would be enough to deter him. He could not know how close he was to to truth. A few weeks ago Tina would simply have made fun of him but everything had changed. She now had to play her part in making sure what should be a secret actually remained secret. " You look like those weirdos on tiktok."
