[ ID. ] ves / charlie ; visperas / @nolacharm
vespera doesn’t resist the laughter bubbling up her throat, lets it spill past her lips like a thick black tar, she hopes it sounds just as sickening as it feels, heavy in her chest and heavy on her jaw. “ oh, you want me to stop? that’s funny, didn’t know when i started taking orders from you, princess. ” it doesn’t matter what the other girl wants, vespera doesn’t care, she refuses to give up while she’s almost there, almost to the point of no return. which kind of sucks for charlie, but she’s not charlie. through the dark, she can see the girl in the pink dress tug on his hand, all three of them know he wants to go with her, but if she wanted to take her back to dance with him, or whatever humans do, she would’ve done it by now. vespera knows she’s waiting for charlie to say it, that he wants to leave. and he won’t, vespera won’t let him, she’ll sew his mouth closed if she has to.
brow knits as charlie tells his friend that she could stay if she wants, and normally she would allow it, but whoever this is, she’s smarter than charlie, smart enough to run the second vespera looks away. “ she could stay, if i trusted her not to leave, which i don’t. ” she’s talking to charlie, but looking at the girl, glaring at her. “ she’s not like you, charlie, she’s not as good as you are. plus, maybe i just don’t want her. ”
The surgeon’s expression grew both soft and deeply pained as Charlie seemed for find her demands to the pixie he had found himself trapped by unappealing. Charlie was the sweetest and most genuine person that Noelani had ever met, where so many people concealed sharp edges and poisonous spikes, Charlie was smooth and safe. She had always known that it made him a target for those with harsher centers, that had he been born on the Isle, that gentle nature would have seen him killed. “ You’re sweet, Charlie. The sweetest person I’ve ever met. I’m really sorry. ” She smiled up at him for just a moment before her gaze was taken by the pixie beside him that had chosen to take advantage of Charlie’s trust.
“ Oh . . . I’m not a princess. ” Noelani corrected, the smile on her lips never quite faltered even as she set her heels gently to the forest floor before straightening upright. The pixie was responsible for Charlie’s clouded gaze and clouded mind, responsible for why he had ventured into the woods, likely not to be seen again if she had not chased after him. She seemed unaffect by the others glare, by the cold way in which she spoke, enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.
“ I’m a pirate. And you’re right, I’m not as good as Charlie. ” In a single fluid motion, Noelani pulled one of her knifes from her thigh garter and slashed the wrist of the hand that was pinning Charlie in place. With little hesitation, Noelani pulled Charlie from the fairy circle.

not me trying to suppress the need to climb a tree and sit up there reading a book amongst the boughs and the sunlight peeking through until it’s dusk.
