He was going to be okay.
Thank god lance lived. I knew he wouldnt die but i second guessed myself on that
“I…” Darius shook his head. “Something happened.” “Not good enough,” I hissed, throwing my palms into his chest again and he made no move to fight me off. “You knew how much this meant to him!”
Damnit darcy now im gonna cry again im not ready to relive that heartbreak
“You care about him,” he stated, his voice horribly empty.
Fuck
“It was Darius?” I asked in a hollow voice, the fight going out of me in a heartbeat. I deserved anything he wanted to throw at me. “Of course it was! Who the fuck else would it have been?” Max bellowed and his anger crashed into me as his emotions danced on the air and his Siren gifts flared.
I read the star crossed situation two weeks ago. Im still shattered about it.
“It was the stars,” Max growled suddenly, dropping down to sit on the bottom step and pushing his hands through his hair. “They’re already working to force them apart…”
FUCK
Max’s heart was breaking for Darius and the chasm of grief opening up in my chest told me plainly enough that mine was too.
Same
“Don’t ever let go of her, Lance. You fucking fight for her until your last breath, you hear me?”
im still crying over this
“Silly, I don’t mean the man who sired me.” She giggled and I frowned as Father’s footsteps approached and he stood over me too. “Clara has that little nickname for me,” Father said mildly like that wasn’t weird as fuck.
I knew i didnt like clara.
He didn’t care that he made Dante Oscura father children he’d never see with a woman who wasn’t his wife,
Shoutout
“You think you might have been stuck in a life where he’d continue to hurt you?” Darcy asked, shaking her head like it was so obvious that wouldn’t have been the case.
Cuz it is?
Was that how it would be for the rest of my life? Any time I was with anyone else I’d be thinking of him, feeling like I was in the wrong just because I’d wanted to choose my own fate?
Yes. You were blatantly told that.
“I’m so sorry, Lance,” I breathed. “I should have been there to help you last night, you could have died, I could have cost you-” “We both know that you couldn’t have resisted the call of the stars no matter where you needed to be. Besides, I’m not dead,” he replied,
Fuck me
“Don’t call me Gabe,” Gabriel snapped.
Gabriels getting ptsd to Leon
“Fuck me, are you really going to make me beg?” I pouted as I looked up at him and the barest hint of a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “You can certainly give it a try.”
Hehe i like when theyre not sad
“I told you, I’m not going to hurt you again, Roxy,”
Love him
I took a few more steps away and flinched as Darius caught my hand, but before I could question what he was doing, he pressed a small, black box into my palm. “Sorry it’s late,” he said in a rough voice before turning and walking away from me down the hill.
Ok so now im gonna cry again.
“Stop with the third person crap. And don’t call me Gwen,” I demanded, and Orion shoved Darius in the arm, making him knock into me. “Call her Darcy, dipshit, or I’ll start calling you Demelza,” he growled, and Darius shrugged.
1. I love that darius calls them roxy and gwen. Idk why its like a quirk or something ig.
2. Who tf is Demelza? Certainly that cant be darius's full name…
“Well, aren’t you an observant little shrew.” “Less of the shrew,” I said, pursing my lips. “Can’t call you Gwen, can’t call you shrew…”
I LOVE DARIUS
“Fuck the stars too, Darius,” I breathed, and his muscles tightened around me as he held me close. “Fuck every shining, gleaming one of them.”
Re fucking tweet
Clara
HONESTLY might hate her more than Seth.
“No, no, no, no,” she murmured, hugging me tight and I couldn’t manage to move to push her away. “I’m so sorry, so, so sorry, Xavier.”
What the fuck is wrong with her
My heart leapt as he placed a steaming mug of coffee down on my table, standing close enough for me to catch the mixture of smoke, cedar and sweat on his skin. I was momentarily transported back to the throne room with his hands all over me and my lips pressed to his and by the time I’d blinked the lust away, he was gone. I watched in confusion as he grabbed a coffee and a breakfast burrito to go then headed straight out of The Orb without looking back again.
Im cheesing and idk why
“No. So take a deep breath and suck it up, sweetheart. Because the girl who came back swinging at us after she nearly drowned in that pool doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do. Not even destiny.”
YES CALEB
“Besides, this isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve got more than a few Nebula Allies, so I know how to spot the signs. Me, you, and Darcy are like a little dream team just waiting to happen. Besties for life.”
This is adorable i cant lie
“He was falling in love with you, and you ripped his heart out,” Gabriel said quietly. “There is no greater pain in this world than that. Believe me. I know. I’ve lived it.”
God damnit gabriel im gonna cry again.
“I managed to pay off a few staff members to alert me if you were to leave campus,” she admitted sheepishly. “And I’m fairly adept in tracking spells. I was on the path to joining the FIB before my marriage to Lionel was arranged and…” She stopped talking suddenly, almost seeming to be choking for a moment then just shook her head like nothing had happened.
Lionel used dark coercion on his wife, that fucking snake. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU CATALINA
“You…I’m free,” Catalina gasped, releasing her grip on me as she backed up, her hands clasping her chest as a radiant smile captured her full lips. “Free of what?” “The Dark Coercion Lionel placed on me…each and every command he ever bound me with is just…gone.” Her eyes were shimmering with emotion, and she suddenly dropped to her knees sobbing as she fought to adjust to what had just happened.
Okay so protect catalina acrux as well as xavier at all costs im crying for this woman rn. Fuck you lionel
“I wish he could have done enough to win your love, Roxanya.”
Yea me fucking too
I snatched Tory’s hand into my grip, and she ran with me as we raced towards the boulders and climbed up to the peak of the highest one. “Listen up!” I yelled and the Heirs stopped fighting, frowning over at us.
This just seems like a bad idea. Why would you announce that you want the throne NOW of all times
Darius was leaning against the wall in his running gear like usual, his eyes brightening as I stepped out and my gaze locked on his. “You’re here,” I breathed before I could stop myself and his eyebrows rose in surprise.
Im smiling so hard rn
As insane as it was, we knew that the world was in the process of being taken over by a psycho lizard king and his shadow whore - Catalina’s words, not mine – but there was nothing we could do about it.
Catalina has earned immense respect from me
I had to admit that I kinda loved Darius’s mom.
Same
Anger prickled along my skin at her outburst, and I opened my mouth to tear her a new one, but before I could, Darius spoke.
Idek what he said yet and im already giddy. Fuck yea darius, stand up for your mate
A laugh tumbled from my lips before I could stop it and suddenly all of the other Heirs, Geraldine, Darcy, Orion and well everyone actually, were swivelling in their chairs and staring at us.
Honestly love that everyone is rooting for them
“Well, at least I have her beaten in that department,” I teased. “You definitely finished with me.” “Yeah. I could come just thinking about you,” he agreed. “And I do pretty frequently.”
Oh
My lips popped open, and I almost let him render me speechless before forcing myself to respond in a low voice. “Well, that’s handy, seeing as we’ll never be touching each other again.” The smirk fell off of Darius’s lips and shutters slammed down behind his eyes as his expression darkened. “Thanks for the reminder, but I’m well aware.”
Now why tf would she say that
I’d been six and Clara seven.
Six seven
I glanced over my shoulder, spotting Dante muscling through the crowd.
Oh shit hes actually here
and I’d seen the oldest one eating worms last summer while the other two watched.
Def kipling kids then
“Will you be attending the Aurora versus Zodiac game?” I asked, hoping I could get a chance to talk with him when we weren’t in a house full of our murderous enemies. “Wouldn’t miss it for the world. My cousin Rosa’s gonna kick ass.” He winked, polishing off his beer and looking like he was ready to make his escape from funsville. “See you soon, mio amico.”
As much as i hated ruthless boys, i love these crossovers
Catalina: I need your help. I don’t have anyone else I can ask. I was sitting at my desk in my room trying to work on a Numerology assignment but since that message had come through, I hadn’t been able to think of anything else. Because it came down to this – was I going to help Mommy Acrux with her little problem?
I would hope so, that woman needs it
“No. I’ll tell him. Thank you, Roxanya.” “It’s Tory. Only Darius calls me Roxy and I can’t make him stop, but I don’t want anyone else making a habit of it,” I said. Although at this point if Darius started calling me Tory it would probably just be weird. Not that I’d ever admit that I was okay with the Roxy thing.
I love the Roxy thing
“Just what?” Darius demanded. Phoenix fire burned hot beneath my skin and my palms twitched against his chest as a thought occurred to me. One I really should have considered before now if I hadn’t been so caught up with studying, the shadows, cheer practice and just plain old pining away for this monster before me to think of it.
Its about time
Thunder crashed through the sky overhead and as I looked up above Darius’s head, I realised we were being sheltered from the storm by a huge air shield. Lightning slammed from the sky, crashing into it and Seth cursed as he just managed to take the brunt of the blow with his magic.
THE HEIRS ARE PROTECTING THEM I LOVE IT
Darius: Thank you, Roxy. This means more to me than words can convey.
Im on the verge of tears
I sipped my vodka and Redtaurus.
Haha i get it
If the stars have stolen sex from me then is life even worth living??
Little dramatic
“It won’t change anything,” I said, my voice cracking as I bit down on my bottom lip and tried to force the tears to stop. “If it changes the way you look at me then that’s enough,” he replied, his eyes full of pain as I took a step back.
I LOVE THEM
“Cheerleaders sometimes support a certain player on the field,” Darius said as he pushed his hand into his pocket and took out a navy ribbon with the word Fireshield on it. “Will you cheer for me today, Roxy?”
I’m giddy rn
but with a crown on her head and blood painting her flesh, I didn’t think she’d ever looked more like the Savage King’s daughter before. She really was a Fae Princess. And I liked it.
I said this before that Tory takes more after their dad
