Rewrite Your Destiny

Raven

“I never said marriage. This country is stupid about marraige - back in my day, if you had power and money you could have as many committed lovers as you pleased. Then the bloody Christians showed up and -“ And lord, imagine Apple White as a vampire.

“You know what!” She emerged from the bathroom, fastening her earrings, and padded over to get her shoes, “You make my life a living hell!” If purely for the mental images - things so sinful it felt like falling in love with Bram all over again.

“Let’s blow some stuff up, I have things to work out now.”

"And you love me for it." Raven grinned, handing her the Hocus Latte after she'd fastened her shoes. "I even kept it hot for you." she tapped the cup. "Hot as hell." Raven lept up from the chair. "Now you're talking!" she chirped, happy to follow Gory and unleash some magic.

Raven

Daring Charming with a personality? That was new. Good for him. And if he got a nice girl out of it, better for every- what?

The door whipped open faster than even a vampire seemed capable of. Her toothbrush crammed in the corner of her unnaturally red mouth, she stared at Raven with saucer eyes behind her square rims. Did that mean Darling and Apple were meant to be together? (She liked Darling, from what she’d heard of her - she admired a woman who took no shit) Or was it purely that her favorite object of infatuation just happened to be a little less forbidden fruit and a little more “creampuff?”

Maybe? Oh no - if a vampire could do anything, it was a grand gesture of affection. But how to do it without being insanely creepy!

She turned back, a half-groan slipping from around the toothbrush as she threw her hands wide. There were tablets covering the medicine cabinet rather than mirrors, so that she appeared when in their range. “You had to tell me when I would walk into her life looking like the most desperate stalker this side of Lestat!”

“Not *that* desperate…well.” Raven shrugged. “I honestly think Apple’s still processing things. It was kinda a whole upset to her ‘plan’…which I think is good for her.” She looked highly amused at the vamp, leaning in the doorway of the bathroom. “And maybe a bit stalker, a bit moony-eyed bat.” she said, wrinkling her nose with amusement. “We all know Apple loves when people fawn over her, so you’re not doing anything she wouldn’t like.” she said as she handed Gory a hand towel to wipe her mouth off with.

“Yeah, girls just love the ‘I stalked you out of love, have this thing you could’ve bought yourself that I shouldn’t know you wanted but got for you! Love me!’“ That early in the morning, Gory was at the opposite side of her extreme; rather than admitting Apple fell precisely in her type and thus explained the infallable infatuation, she seemed desperate to demean her understandable obsession with the aesthetically pleasing princess.

“Seriously, though….I’ve kind of inadvertently told everyone she knows that I’m into her. If she doesn’t know - firstly, how? Secondly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the crosses were up around her bedroom window.” She almost told Raven not to take them down. Almost.

Accepting the towel, she rinsed her brush and ran her hair brush through her hair a bit before shooing Raven out again, “She’s not me with Bram, she’s not playing hard to get, she’s probably genuinely - understandably - freaked out about the violent weirdo that happens to be into her. That’s not a horror story waiting to happen at all.”

“True, but it’s kinda fun to watch you act like a moony-bat.” Raven grinned again. “ You forget how oblivious Apple can be, Gory.”  It was true, Apple had that way about her. “OR she knows and hasn’t said anything because secretly she loves you making a fool of yourself for her. She’s a sappy romantic like that.” Raven backed up and perched on a chair nearby. “Apple’s still kinda confused about her Prince, so I can see that. I mean, it’s one thing to be like ‘I’m flattered but my Prince is Charming’ and then finding out you’re a giant lesbian.” Raven snickered a bit. “Ok, wait. No she’s bi, right? I mean, she was kinda into Daring,or she didn’t object to him. So we’ll go with bi. Plus she might be worried you want to bite her neck and it’ll leave a mark on her flawwwless skin.” Raven called, still enjoying Gory’s antics and egging them on.

Well no wonder Val was such an asshole, this relationship (with people who were not Bram) stuff was hard.

She might’ve gone scarlet if she had any blood left over for a morning flush. She was out of sight for a few minutes, choosing to carry out the end of her routine at a human speed while delusions (convinced as she was, then, that’s what they were) of Apple White interested in her - though royal blooded and quite a catch if she did say so herself - let alone… not enough blood for a morning flush, but what was left happened to reroute after a moment of imagining her fingertips pressing into the princess’ lower back, the tender flesh beneath her lips, the throbbing pulse just begging to reveal whether or not she truly tasted like her namesake-

“You are a horrible influence and I hope you and Dexter get married!” Which was the closest thing to an insult she could muster at the moment, considering her blood flow had been diverted from inter-cranial circulation.

"That's why you keep me around, isn't it?" Raven happily shot back, snickering. "We're still getting to the part of dealing with making out, so marriage is a biiiit off." Raven said, tapping her chin with her finger. "But thank you, I hope you get to bite Apple and turn her into your lil' porcelain princess."

“For the love of god, just let me sleep!”

“No. You’ve already overslept and you promised you’d help me with my glamour magic. Get your lazy vamp butt up!”

Whining profusely, Gory didn’t even question how Raven Queen managed to get into her house, let alone her room, and lifted her disheveled two-toned head from the pillow. “Make coffee and let me sleep with your roommate.”

Even if both (as she anticipated the former not to be too big a deal) went unfulfilled, she grudgingly detangled herself from the cocoon of blankets that had somehow formed during the day. God, she hated Mondays.

“I have coffee, but I’m not sure on the latter.” Raven said, amused as she held out a Hocus Latte for Gory. “But what do I know? It could be possible. Everything’s chaotic over there right now.” What with Daring not waking up Apple, and actually being Rosabella’s Beast. And Darling being the one *to* wake up Apple. “I didn’t enjoy getting up early, either. But we made a schedule and we’re sticking to it.”

Though she’d grown rather used to Raven’s attempts at constant courtesy, the follow-up to her “not sure” piqued her interest. She paused on the edge of the bed to regard her friend in silence. Possible? Chaotic? “She has a thing for you, doesn’t she? I’m not even mad. Go with my blessing. Hell, take my jewelry for a token of your affection, she needs a grounded woman.”

The irony of those words from the bat-girl would not escape them. “Five minutes.” Gory headed into the adjacent bathroom.

Raven laughed at Gory's dramatics, and shook her head, moving to stand by the closed door of the bathroom. "No, but get this. I told you about Apple ending up in her Eternal Sleep, but I didn't get to tell you the outcome. Daring isn't her Prince. Turns out he's the Beast. No surprise, right?" She grinned, knowing Gory just wanted to know who *did* wake Apple up. "Her Prince Charming? Turns out she's a Princess Darling." Raven said, giving her a knowing look. "So maybe you do have a chance, who knows! Everything is all topsy turvy over there. Which is kinda wicked, if you ask me." The world needed a bit of shaking up.

“For the love of god, just let me sleep!”
