❛ you’re a bit grumpy . ❜ monotoned voice lacks real concern , fingertips fumble with his shirt , hands sliding underneath , feeling the warmth of his skin . ❛ need a fix ? ❜ / @havoced
SOMETHING HAD CHANGED AFTER SHE DIED & even if she looked the same , her touch didn’t feel the same . hand wrap around tiny wrist , pulling her away while tight smile is on his lips . ❛ i’m good , thanks . ❜
❛ hi boyfriend . ❜ she’s very much aware she’s interrupting his usual work out routine by distractedly sitting on his lap , a smile sweet though it’s with intention . ❛ we still have some money right ? ❜ / @havoced
THERE IS A SMALL GRUNT : eyes shifting from the ceiling and to the blonde seated in his lap , jaw clenching for a second before he sits up , face just inches from her . ❛ hi girlfriend . ❜ much more suspicious as he speaks , eyebrows pull in to a frown . ❛ why ? ❜
* OPEN TO MUTUALS
WORDS ARE WHISPERED UNDER HER BREATH , eyes shut with hands hovering over an old book. concentration is key ( no kimberly , weaker magic ) going out alone is a death sentence , but that’s nothing a protection spell couldn’t fight against. A CREAK IN THE FLOOR BEHIND HER breaks her focus , chocolate eyes quickly snapping open. ❛ g - go away. ❜ words are spoken without turning around , fear of being revealed practically paralyzing her.
IT DOESN’T TAKE A GENIUS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT’S GOING ON . the book , the way it was all set up : but no kim ? it’s easier for him to see the difference now , and he likes that . eyes flicker around the room before landing on the blonde , walking further in to the room , feet making soft thuds . ❛ what are you doing ? ❜ hands stuff in to the pockets of a hoodie & eyebrows pull together in a frown . it was obvious but . . . he’ll give her a break . even if it was just to get back on kim’s good side .
❛ you don’t get to judge my … cloaking abilities or any other of my abilities , okay ? i can cloak just fine , maybe i just chose not to . ❜ it’s a subtle attempt to defend herself . an attempt to not show she’s not weak . though she is magically weak . mr. & mrs. taylor could be thanked for that . ❛ you’ve known , you’ve kept me here , do you realize how risky that is ? the last people that kept me with them are dead so that should tell you this won’t work out . ❜ this is why she never stays in one place longer than three days . it’s harder to track down your prey if you can’t find them . the coven can’t kill what they can’t find . her eyes dart to the cover again , that name strikes up another question to be answered . body shifts closer into the material of the couch , keeping distance . it’s better to prepare yourself , to detach yourself from whom you’ve grown attached to . she’s almost sad , thinking about the inevitable she’ll no doubt follow through . ❛ oh yeah ? so you’ve got a twin too & they wanna kill you too ? ❜ it’s a mix of sarcasm , assumption & defense . ❛ so campbell … is that your coven’s name or your actual name ? ❜
❛ THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COMMON SENSE , you’re on the run , aren’t you ? ❜ eyebrows raise & head tilt to the side , hint of amusement in his voice now . who with that ability , wouldn’t hide their tracks the best they could ? ❛ i can take care of myself , no need to worry , princess . i’ll lift the cloaking i have on you and your sister if you want , no problem ! ❜ call it self - destructive behavior . keep her close , keep danger as close as he could , keep the adrenalin pumping . it’s a reason why almost every night ends with a bloody nose & alcohol running through his veins . a deep breath is taken , eyes close for a second . sinking down by the wall , legs stretch out infront of him while hands fold in his lap . rather relaxed with the entire situation : atleast it looked that way . ❛ nope , i’m their prodigy . ❜ spit out like venom : muscles in his back tighten at the thought . oh how he hated his parents . ❛ my name . adrian campbell . supposed to be the next coven leader . ❜
❛ well , only if you insist . ❜ she deadpans . teeth bit slightly into lip as she takes the book , excited to crack what he’d want to keep lowkey . the genre was expected to be something embarrassing . that’d explain why he’d want to keep it away —– to avoid his macho image to be tainted . ❛ honestly though , i don’t know why you’d feel the need to hide a book . i mean , it’s a book . ❜ laughter falls short when auburn's catch glimpse of a random page opened , recognizing the material . it’s like hers but… different . ❛ huh , this is … interesting . ❜ though it takes her a moment to put it all together . how badly he wanted her not to see it , the changing of subject when asked about it , & the simple question of: why would he steal a book ? ❛ wait a minute , you said ‘you’ll know’ … this is a spell book which is what you’ve been wanting to keep from me . if it really was any other steal , you wouldn’t care . you wouldn’t keep it from me & you surely would aim higher in what to steal . ❜ it’s mostly said to herself to hear it out loud to make sense & unfortunately , it does . ❛ you said i’ll know so that means you know . ❜ book closes shut , setting it away from her calmly . she has to remain calm , if she doesn’t she might make an even bigger mess & she can already feel her molecules ready to burst at the THOUGHT she’s present with another witch . ❛ how long have you known ? & don’t try to talk yourself out of this or brush this off . ❜
IT’S A BOOK ALRIGHT . but it’s no romance you buy at the corner store or in some hidden away book store . it’s one of the oldest spell books his family’s coven has : their grand pride who he had stolen and hid from them for years now . he shifts ever so little , watching her expression while she watch the book . not that he’s scared : she’s on the run too , pulling attention from witches didn’t seem like something she would do . he sits back in the couch as she speaks : while she conect the dots for herself . ❛ yeah , i know . ❜ it hadn’t taken him too long to figure out either . he could sense her powers the first time he met her & the more he got to know her , the more he got to care about her , he’d used a ever so little smidge of his powers to cloak her and her sister from any witches that wasn’t him . why they hadn’t done that themselves , he still couldn’t fully understand . it’s one of the first things he made sure of after leavinghome. there’s a scoff across lips while he gets up from the couch , walking over to the small fireplace of a rather messy appartment , a small motion of his wrist & the lodges inside it caught fire and shadows dance on the floor . no more secrets then . ❛ even the kids in my old coven knew how to cloak themself from others . ❜ turning around , he leans on the wall by the fireplace : hands cross over lower abdomen , fire reflect in his eyes . ❛ i’ve known since i met you , just didn’t really care . ❜ chin juts towards the book : the family name at the front . ❛ i know a little of running away from witches . ❜
❛ that’s nice but , ❜ she points to the book , looking for an actual answer . ❛ what is it ? i didn’t take you to read . what is it , a romance novel ? ❜
HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO BREAK IT TO HER ? jaw clench while fingertips runs through his hair & eyes close for a moment , before he leans forward and takes the book , giving it to her . ❛ why don’t you take a look , i’m sure you’ll know . ❜
consider her nosy , she can’t help but look at things that aren’t hers . parental guidance failed in the department of boundaries , she’ll peer , meddle & touch things that don’t concern her . this situation is no different . she leans over to see what he’s looking at & catches a glimpse . ❛ what is that ? ❜
❛ IT’S JUST . . . ❜ it’s just his birthright . it’s everything he doesn’t want , but it’s everything he needs to survive . book is shut & tossed on the table : jaw set tightly while he leans back in the couch . ❛ just something i stole a while back . ❜ sort of the truth , it was stolen . stolen when he ran away from home and his family .
nobody’s watching ! drowning in words so sweet ––- mild is the water : caught as a bird once free / ind. priv. twin witch oc , by aria.
HE KNOWS HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT LIARS / but he’s never been an open person . a conflict of interest , but flipping through old books he’d taken minutes before running out the door of his family home : the name campbell practically shining from the corner of the page & he stops for a second , not knowing if she noticed or not , from reading over his shoulder . : @twinwitched !
friendly reminder this is nova’s spirit animal

You didn’t know it at the time, neither of us did. But after Savannah and I bury Ruth, I will become leader of the Coven. And any chance of this… will be gone. But for a happy moment, you showed me… what love could be. And for that I thank you.
“I thought I was in love with you but it was just a lie."
❛ are you —- are you serious right now ? ❜ he has the power to hurt her more than anyone else. he has the power to make the ribs in her torso ache with melancholy but only with cause. it’s his fault for this, making her fall in love with him but it’s her fault for taking the bait. she should’ve known. should’ve yielded at the whispers of his reputation but she gave him a chance as a friend first but something isn’t right about this whole ordeal, it doesn’t feel like truth. ❛ so you’re saying when you had sex with me —- each time, it was just a lie too, huh ? just somethin’ fun to do. ❜ she scoffs, swallowing down anything resembling pain in exchange for anger. anger because she doesn’t believe it. maybe it’s denial or to have the need to be needed fulfilled but he can’t be suddenly returning to the old nova.
❛ right. ❜ she’s quick to move away from him, going for her things to put into her messenger bag without so much as a glance to him.
❛ well i don’t believe that. i don’t know what is going on lately or why you’re lying to me —- and i know you are, but fine i’ll play along. i can’t stay under same roof as someone who would just sleep with me. you helped me a lot though so thanks for that. ❜ a thanks that shouldn’t be clouded with such fire. truly, she does thank him for everything he’s taught her; how to use magic better and to actually control it. kim should’ve told him all this before but she’s stubborn, doesn’t know tho to approach the subject without sounding sad about it.
❛ oh and here, ❜ what she does know to do is speak honestly when she wants to. her small frame barely comes close to him as she zips up bag to undo it from her wrist. it being the most important and special thing he ever gave her, placing it in his palm. ❛ keep it. this was given to me by someone i loved who i thought loved me back. you don’t love me, huh ? prove it. give it to the next best thing to come through your front door. the day you come around and admit you’re actually lying now, you know where to find me but just know: i know you nova and i know there’s no way you could do this to me. ❜ her expression softens, feeling the high of an anger rush falling and a new, more wretched feeling take hold. this being how he can hurt her. it’s easy to do when you know where to punch and he’s punched high. but she isn’t sticking around for anymore low blows.
