an undesired reunion ;; pastthemaskofthemonster

“Welcome to our side, Lacey.” Rumple mused, he clasped a hand on her back. Time would tell just how dark he could make her. Hopefully dark enough to lose everyone good around her. It would make things that much easier for the imp. 

“I knew you’d see it my way one of these days.” The Imp chuckled ever so lightly at all this time. Lacey should have come with him to the Dark Castle. She should have learned this dark magic a long time ago. A brow arched at her words.

         “Has no one ever told you that you aren’t          born evil, Evil is made, dearie~.”

               Lacey had always known she'd had a dark heart. Her heart had been blackened many years before she'd murdered those two innocent townsfolk back in the Enchanted Forest. Because, whilst Belle's heart had always been pure, she was sure that hers had been dark from the moment she was born. And she still believed that, believe it despite that the notion of evil being made.  And true, it had become seemingly worse over the years, over the years of pain. All of those moments had lead to this one, lead to the realization that she was as much the villain as Rumplestiltskin was.

              "Oh, I know. I'm just another prize to add to your collection, aren't I?" she questioned, however, there was no malice twined into her tone. Because she was, she was simply another dark heart to him. Another villain. Just like Regina, just like Cora. "I wonder if I'll be as good as Regina. As good as you" she mused, standing properly, head canted slightly to the side. "Will you teach me or not?" 

I Didn't Mean It || wolfundertheskin

   “Dinner and pool, anythin’ else ya want to throw in?”    Cerberus smirked, pulling the motorcycle keys from     his front pocket, though paused when her slender     digits twined with his. He clasped his fingers around    the brunette’s hand, mentally cursing that she had his    heart skipping beats. “Lace, it will always be real with    me.” Fingers that weren’t occupied, came up to trail a      soft touch to her cheek. Leaning down he stole one     more kiss before they headed out. Just one more. 

   "Sounds perfect to me" she uttered,    the smile    upon her        features only growing  at  his next    words. "Always?" she murmured, still needing    that reassurance, even now. Even after   they'd    both confessed their feelings for    one another.    Albeit, that was             the way the brunette had    always been. Constantly needing reassurance     whilst           denying that she wanted it at all. A    quiet hum fell against his lips            when they    met once again.         And her mind, once again    chastised her for not having done this sooner.

         “Oh! You’re gonna rob me of my bike and heart. Okay, I see how you play.” Cerberus teased, nudging Lacey with his shoulder as they made their way back towards the parked Harley. At least Lacey was smiling so that in itself was a plus.

          “Well then sit up front. I will control the bottom half for now by why don’t ya steer us to the pizza place. That way you can get a real good feel for her.” Cerberus reached out clipping the helmet under her chin smirking as he slid his fingers over the barfly’s cheek. “I’ll teach ya anythin’ you want to know.” 

               "You love how I play" Lacey teased, glad that the mood had heightened somewhat since they'd both stepped out of the restaurant. The brunette wasn't one to dwell on her past, it wasn't something that she could ever afford to do, so, she had to forget what happened in there, it really was their loss if they didn't want to be a part of her life. Especially her father. But, he'd been the same way with her since her teens, she knew it wasn't going to change anytime soon.

               "Are you sure?" the question fell skeptically from rouged lips. The former barfly didn't have an ounce of trust within herself to drive the Harley. Because, unlike the other townsfolk, she'd never been blessed with the knowledge on how to drive, then again, it had never caused her much of a problem. "Perhaps you should drive, just for now" she uttered as the helmet came to fasten beneath her chin. It was only something that she'd noticed within the past hour or so, but, her hand were trembling increasingly from the lack of alcohol in her system and the last thing she needed was to be driving right now.  

      She’s still paying little to no attention to the film,     but it doesn’t        matter exactly.     It isn’t like Belle won’t make her watch it again       another day.           For now the she-wolf nuzzles in closer to the        librarian. Enjoying the feeling of her being close, and the comfort       of the thumb running gently over the back of her hand.      It isn’t        long before pine orbs,  instead of watching the film or even Belle,       drift shut,   her hold on her girlfriend slackening slightly when she       falls to sleep.

   It wasn't until she noticed her girlfriend's  loosening grip, did    she realize that the other had     achieved the rest that she'd    hoped that she would. And Belle was more      than glad, be-    cause despite the other being a wolf, she knew that she still    grew tired from the      constant need to be doing something.    With a soft smile, the brunette pressed a   gentle kiss to her    cheek, snuggling back down as her attention returned to the    film on the screen before her. 

First Time For Everything || wolfundertheskin

       Lips lowered down his teeth racking under the brunette’s breast nibbling just under her ribs before  he kissed down the flat of her belly. Fingers moved from just under Lacey’s  arms downward memorizing her curves all the way down to laced covered hips. 

      The biker paused in his worship, to look to his mate. Wanting to simply take in the look on her face. Cerberus smiled a softer one, happy with the pleasure he was causing and lowered his head. pressing kisses down the expanse of Lacey’s belly, teasing her hips with small nips and flicks of his tongue. Fingers looped under her panties as he slowly began to work the material off her body. 

              Cerulean hues remained closed, allowing her senses to absorb the tender touches that he bestowed upon her skin. And whilst she wasn't used to the intimacy of the moment, the intimacy of another treating her like the royalty that she once was, she could most certainly get used to it. Because, it was in this way that she could allow herself to get close to somebody and it was in such a way that no emotions were involved. She wasn't making herself vulnerable emotionally if she allowed somebody to treat her like a Queen.

               Slender hips came to arch slightly off of the comforter, helping him remove the one piece of lacy material that still adorned her curves. And the brunette could only imagine the hickey's that she'd be covered with the next morning and there was definitely something akin to a thrill knowing that he was the one to shower her in them.

                 ❝ It will. ❞

     Red reassures her another time, this time placing both of her hands on       the librarian’s shoulders.     Making sure Belle takes in just how serious       she is being.      She won’t hurt anyone, and she isn’t going to hurt Red       either.          And yet, Red is still hoping to all of the Gods there are that       Regina will be able to fix this,       or her cloak will simply appear in their       home.

               ❝ Don’t worry, if it goes a little wrong, Granny knows how                    to deal with a rogue wolf.      And, no, it doesn’t involve                    killing you, don’t worry. ❞

     Of course it does involve a little pain,    but it’s nothing Belle won’t heal      from. And faster, at that, now she’s a wolf. Technically.

    Belle, of course, knew in her heart that Red wouldn't allow     any harm to come of her,  whether in the wolfs form or not     and that was something that she had    to allow herself to     take comfort in. But, still, there       was that niggling doubt     that Regina wasn't going to be able to help them and that     the only person that   would be, was Rumplestiltskin. The     man that she was sure had        bestowed it upon them in     the first place. He wanted something          from them and     whilst the librarian wasn't sure exactly what, she knew for     certain that it wasn't going         to be in either one of their     interests.

          ❝ Good, I know    that      she won't               hesitate in keeping the town safe.  ❞

    And that was something that Belle had secure in the know-     ledge. She knew Granny would do   nothing to intentionally     hurt her, but keeping the town safe was exactly what she'd     want. What they'd both want. Pine orbs glance towards the     door of the Mayor's home    before turning to face the other.

          " ❝ It's now or never, right?  ❞ 

Hey There | wolfundertheskin

Going It Alone ( c l o s e d ; )

     A rapid beep pierces her slumber.   Incredibly loud, and very intrusive.       Red snaps up from the bed with a gasp of breath,     the blanket Belle       had  lain  over  her not  even thought  about as  it falls to  a  crumpled       mess around the seat of the chair.    It doesn’t matter.    Nothing does.       The beeping, Red knows, is a terrible sign.      There are only seconds       before Doctor  Whale and a few nurses are breaking into  the room  at      a frantic pace. Someone guiding her out into the hallway.    It’s as she       steps out there that the beeping stops altogether.        One single tone       and she crumples.       Through the cracks in the blinds she watches a       distraught  Whale  trying to  save  the  only person  that matters  in her       life.  Watches him try, and try, and inevitably fail.      She doesn’t know       what to do with herself,       as he tries until someone eventually forces       him  to  stop and  the machines that had  kept her  Grandmother alive       are turned off one by one.     Her hands are shaking, her face pulled in       the wake of tears to come. She’s holding her breath, even when Victor      walks out of the hospital room,and heads straight to her side. Shaking      his head instead of giving her any words.      She knows what he’ll say.       He tried his hardest, but it wasn’t enough.    Red blinks, and finally the      tears come.    She sucks in a breath but it only comes out in a gasped      sob.   He tries to step closer, comfort her, keep her together like Belle      had before, but Red only steps back.        Her head shaking frantically.       She’s unable to do or say anything.        Her thoughts are too clouded.

                         ❝ I can’t do this. ❞

     Red mutters out, just like she’d told Belle before.       She doesn’t give       him much of a chance to do anything, to say anything.  Red turns and      bolts. She’s down those hallways and out of that hospital door in only      seconds. The woods her only place in mind. 

    Belle had barely reached the home that she shared with     Rumple before the     intrusive sound of her mobile rung.     Almost scrambling to retrieve it from          her purse, the     brunette       frowned when she read the called ID. It was     Whale. And it was the two words          that he spoke that      caused the tears to sting at her cerulean hues.

                        She's gone.

    And by that, she knew        that he meant both Granny and     Red, although, not in the same  sense.   Belle had to find     her, there really was no other option. And  whether  or not     that meant searching through the  entirety of  Storybrooke     all night, then she would.  She had to know that her friend     was safe, because God knew that she wasn't going to be     okay. And it was as she     hung up the phone that heeled     footsteps made their way back from their home. Perhaps     it would be stupid to search the diner first, but, then again,     perhaps Red would find solace there. 

  ❛ ❛ Sounds like ya are my kind of girl, what do ya drink?❜ ❜

   ❛❛ I'm anyone's type of girl as long as          they’re buying.    But, Whiskey, thanks. ❜❜

Kidnapped | {;c l o s e d}

     Red scrunches  up her  nose a  little  at  the very thought  of canteen       food.     Gods, there’s a reason Whale had spent 28 years on getting       Granny’s delivered to this hospital, other than getting to see the legs      of the girl who delivered it.       No, Belle has been subject of enough       pain today,          and she won’t add to it by making her eat that junk.      Red smoothes her hair out of her eyes,        and offers a shrug of her       shoulders.    The action brings painkillers back to the forefront of her       mind.

               ❝ Granny and I would never want to subject you to that                    horrible food, now eat up, you need the strength, I’m                    going to go talk to Doctor Whale…   About when you                    can get home and how I can help you out. ❞

     Simple enough of a lie, right?       Red hopes it is believable enough. 

   A genuinely grateful smile crosses bare lips as her cerulean    gaze remains on her friend.      However, it most        certainly    grows         when she mentions talking to Whale about when    she's allowed to leave. Because, in all honesty,   she feels a    lot better than she had done       when she woke up and with    the promise of Red keeping her company        when she did    leave, well, she was more than looking   forward to sleeping    in her own bed again.

          ❝ Good, because the     chances of getting               some rest are going to   come in at a lot               higher      the moment that I'm in my own               bed again. ❞ 

All Roads Lead to you || ofheroics

        “You’re not good at denyin’ shit you know this?’ Cerberus laughed slightly shaking his head. He hated this part, the part where he was supposed to kill the person. Of all people  though he had to be the one killing the girl he found himself dreaming very strange dreams about. “Just ‘cause he’s a good fuck don’t mean he’s gonna be a good person. Shit ya got yourself in one hell of a fuckin’ mess.” 

        “I was sent here to kill him and you so yeah where the fuck is he?” Cerberus frowned, wanting the information, but receiving it he was a bit taken back.”Gods I wish you hadn’t done that.” Now he was as fucked as she was. “I need to know where the body is buried at.” Taking a hand off Lace he placed it on her shoulder. “How much dose he owe ya and what can I do to pay you to leave?” 

               ❝ Who said that I was trying to deny anything? ❞ the words were twined with a quirked eyebrow, she'd own up to what she'd done, but that was for the mere fact that she held no regrets over what she'd done. ❝ Wow, aren't you a regular, every day Sherlock Holmes ❞ she quipped, slender arms folding across her chest as cerulean hues continued to linger over his features. She was still profusely denying the fact that this was the man from her dreams, however, she did find it ironic that he was the one sent to kill her for her crimes.

               ❝ Buried the body? Do you think I'm stupid? He's in ashes. Ashes at the bottom of the fucking ocean ❞ she explained, a nonchalant shrug rolling from her shoulders, a smirk toying across rouged lips. ❝ How much does he owe me? I have everything he owed me, took it after I dumped those ashes ❞ she spoke, her tone clearly uninterested in the conversation at hand. ❝ Are we done here? I've better things to do if you don't plan on killing me today. ❞

Don't you remember me? ( c l o s e d ; )

                ❝ And I will. I’ll be home in a few minutes and I will                    go straight to bed.           Go back to sleep, Belle. ❞

    Red wearily chews at her lower lip  as she comes to a stop at the side     of her car.       The phone moved from her ear for a moment whilst she      puts the bag down and fiddles to get out her keys. Gods, one handed-     ness doesn’t agree with her. She has no idea how Hook does it. Once     she’s opened the car door and slipped inside,      the bag of things on      the passenger’s side of the car and the door shut behind her,        she      places the phone back against her ear.   It isn’t as if she’s missed any-     thing Belle has said; thank the Gods for her wolf hearing.

    ❝ Just be careful,      you're hurt enough as         it is. It's fine, Red, I'm awake now, I don't         think I could sleep anymore if I tried. ❞

   And the words are honest,    but it wasn't the fact that she    couldn't sleep because she wasn't tired, no. It was more    the fact that every time she closed her eyes, the images    that lingered behind them   caused her blood to boil and    her anxiousness to grow tenfold.   She simply hoped the    Rumplestiltskin didn't      know that her girlfriend had her    memories back, because the thought of    him trying any-    thing else caused the unfamiliar sense of anger to wash    over her, one that she didn't want to allow to get the better    of her. 

Run Away with me || ofheroics

       “Sounds very promising.” Cerberus purred into her neck, his lips find her skin again, he rested his  head on her shoulder as they road on through the forest. The pack wasn’t far from here and he knew they could  take refuge.

       “It’s an older land and most people from Mist Haven don’t go there.” he explained, arm holding the brunette closer to the warmth of his body. “My pack hate’s humans in general, but they will listen to me. Ever since Anita passed the one they looked up to take over was me. I just never inserted my leadership. They need it though. If anyone says shit I will take over the pack and put them in place. If that means ya gotta stay here hidden with the wolves then you’ll be my queen and then they will have nothing to say.” 

      Cerberus never thought of taking over the pack completely there were few left, but they did join with other packs “Maybe I should take it back over, run it the way it needs to be run. They are all a mess, but then again I want to show you the worlds.” He let out a long sigh. “Stay with me Lace. Don’t leave me to handle your father. I need you.” 

              "You'd be an amazing leader and that's not something that I'm going to keep you from. I've seen how much they mean to you and for me to keep you from it, well, that wouldn't be fair" Lacey mused, head falling back against his shoulder as she spoke. "Queen, huh? Well, I do like the sound of that" she teased. And, in all honesty, as much as she knew the wolves weren't overly fond of her, she had nothing against them, she never would do. In fact, the ones aside from Cerberus that she'd spoke to, most of them had seemed good people, which was more than could be said for her.

               "There's plenty of time to show me the world, Cerberus. They need you now" she assured softly. The brunette would be happy as long as she was by his side and she wasn't going anywhere any time soon. She was his wherever they decided on going. "If it comes down to dealing with him to save your life, so the pack's life, I'll do it, but, as long as he leaves us be, I'm not going anywhere. You know that."

Cora smiled again, a little wider, with a little more feeling behind it. There was a part of her heart, the part she liked to deny existed, that was touched. It was a part of her that denied herself genuine human contact for fear of it, for fear of caring. But more and more, she was learning that perhaps that wasn’t so terrible after all. “Maybe I’ll stop by the library more often,” Cora said quietly, and that was about as close she would get to admitting that she wouldn’t mind striking up some kind of friendship, strange as it seemed that she would care at all about someone she’d once considered a rival.

               A smile that was something akin to the other own came to grace pink lips as Cora mentioned that she'd stop by the library a little more often. It was something that the brunette would most certainly be glad to see. For, despite their differences, they were far more alike than Belle had ever given them credit for. They had common ground and the librarian had little doubts that there was more beneath the surface that the two could bond over. Something a little more positive than their combined lost love. "I would like that, you're always welcome in the library, Cora.” 

                   so i don’t remember the EXACT date i made my first katherine blog                    in 2012, but i do remember that it was sometime during april. i’m                    guessing mid to late april. but, i honestly never thought another canon                    character besides rachel berry, would join me. i never thought when i                    first made her that i’d still be writing as her now. despite the fact that                    i’ve remade her four times now ?? and i’ve disappeared who knows                    how many times ??? but you guys have stuck with me and honestly it                    means the absolute world to me. so this, is to thank you guys. the                    ones who have been with me since the beginning & the ones who have                    joined me throughout this insane journey. thank you <3

Consuming Fear || ofheroics

         The Jabberwocky looked more than pleased with the work she was laying out. Destroying them well more him this girl was filled with darkness, something canny to that of the Dark Imp. Though that bit of knowledge she’d keep to herself, the wolf’s soul tasted so delicious though. All that fear of what he was and what he did. Such a course. 

       “I told you I was a wolf. I never lied to you about that. Remember from the get go I told you. You know I am one, but i never have shape shifted to it for you. I never took the wolf’s form.” Cerberus felt as if his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach at the look she gave him. It was just like Gwen’s look of discussed, the feelings that weren’t returned was what caused him to remain a beast. Cerberus swallowed hard at her threat. Not even wanting to answer it.

       “You know that was part of the deal when I told you I would take you this far. I gave you it because of that very reason.” His breath was uneven as he saw just how wicked that look had looked. Cerberus adverted his eyes again, not now not that reason.

       “Go on honey we have all day, tell her everything.” The Jabberwocky chuckled, tugging hard on his head to force it back to look at Lacey.Cerberus looked long and hard at the rebellious princess, that hatred in her eyes, was like that damn dagger sliding into his chest. “Then do it. No one is stopping you from it. Only you are holding back.” 

               Eyebrows furrowed as Cerberus spoke. He'd never told her such a thing before. The imp. He must have taken the memory somehow, he must have done it without her even realizing. Had she been this angry before? Perhaps it was merely because the Jabberwocky was toying with them. She wanted this and Lacey was giving her exactly that. Mentally shaking her head, piercing cerulean orbs turning from the blonde to the cat like woman standing beside him. She took a step back, the hatred that had resided upon her features fading away, she didn't hate him, it was that thing, she was playing her without her noticing.

               "No. Whatever you're doing, it's not going to work. I've dealt with far worse than you, so, go ahead. Although, I don't have all day, so make it quick" she spat, fists clenching at her sides as she did so. She would deal with the fact that the man before her could possibly love her when they were once again alone. Because, whilst it was far from ideal, she could deal with it, she was sure that he would understand that even with her heart, it took giving so much of herself to fall in love with somebody and she wasn't sure that she had that much to give anymore.
