Bound Together || Darcy + Emma

Emma didn’t know what to make of the banter between them. Emma was flirting more than what she was used to with him just to show that she was interested. Was he doing the same? Or was he simply being polite and careful not to hurt her feelings? She was positive the color of her cheeks were bright pink as the two continued on with their conversation. Just act normal, Emma. Don’t be too obvious because scaring him off is not a good idea. 

“It would be too easy. Besides, I would have to kill you if I told you my secrets.” Emma replied as she clenched her lips, smirking playfully at him as she moved her chair closer to the table. With all the flirting aside, Emma nodded a little and smiled. “Coffee is a good start, Darcy. I say you’re well on your way to learning my secrets more than you think.” This sounds awfully like a date to me… 

As she continued debating whether or not he thought of this as a date, Emma’s mind began drifting off to thinking the what it would be like to walk in the moonlight with him holding her hand and even offering his jacket to keep her warm from the breeze coming off from the water outside. Emma… stop it. Just stop it.

It was as though Emma could read Darcy’s thoughts — once more, her cheeks flushed with color, and he found himself the perpetrator of such thoughts as he should never have concerning a client. In the past, such an arrangement was simple enough to hold up; he’d been hired to guard attractive women before and maintained a professional impartiality, and yet the current situation seemed so vastly different. Being with her felt comfortable ( he rarely felt situations such as this were pleasant, but she made it easy ).

However, at her next declaration, an uncharacteristic laugh escaped Darcy’s lips, the product of utter surprise. “You’d kill me — if I lacked the means to stop you first.” While Emma had proven her own independence time and again since he first began guarding her, he found it highly doubtful that she would succeed. “I’m afraid I might have to call your bluff on this one.” Regardless, it painted an oddly endearing picture in his mind: the two of them turning it into some sort of game.

“Coffee it is, then. And I can guarantee that by the time we reach our destination, you’ll be more than ready to tell me everything.” Already, Darcy could see the way the stars would reflect in her light hair, and the light pink that would shade her nose from the cold. In a last valiant attempt to talk himself out of this  date that wasn’t a date but really was, he rose from his seat. “Are you ready to order?

“A rather young member of the undead, unfortunately. It appears an infestation has occurred at the orphanage up the road.” The heel of Darcy’s boot mashes what remains of the creature’s head into the road. “If there are others, it would be unwise to remain out in the open for long.”

    “You’ve probably never heard of our branch,      Colonel. We’re what you would call special      forces.

It wasn’t very like the Honor Guard to take on other tasks such as this, but considering how much danger England seemed to be in, there wasn’t much of a choice but to take a detour and aid in this cause.

Image

“Is that so? And what, pray tell, is it that you do that might be insinuated as special?

Darcy prided himself upon remaining abreast of the latest news concerning the war against the surging scores of the undead, and was apt to be suspicious when he was informed of a sector with which he was unfamiliar. Yet, this man appeared to be speaking the truth, at least at face value; although the further inquiry was brought up grudgingly, he was determined to discover if this unheard of branch was legitimate or no.

               ❛ MUST YOU ALWAYS BE SO obscenely arrogant–? 

cerulean pools have hardened against the dark, brows knitting close together – && though her cloak veils her pallid visage in shadow, ANIMAL’S eyes shall reflect from underneath.

Image

“I rather doubt anyone must be anything, don’t you agree? And while arrogance was not my intention, perhaps the fault lies with you and your inability to accept when you are wrong.”

Darcy’s hands remain clasped behind his back, although his dark eyes drift skyward momentarily before returning to the one before him. Rarely did he speak with the desire to wound, yet it vexed him others assumed so ( perhaps his own abrupt speech patterns were to blame; however, he did not particularly care to linger on such a notion )

“There are the un-dead at my door screaming for the name of a man. I am no man and you are one. Am I to assume they want your brains?”

“Your deduction’s correct. I would assume they plan to avenge their dispatched comrades, but I rather doubt unmentionables have any concern with that sort of thing.”

              "Oh, that’s funny. For a moment there I thought you were trying to INSULT me. Then I remembered you don’t have the WIT to properly insult someone.”

In fact, it’s far more likely that it’s your fault for failing to comprehend a perfectly serviceable disparaging remark than mine for speaking it.”

i saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked // tyger tyger, burning bright // i have done it again. // do not go gentle into that good night. // the sea is calm to-night.// let us go then, you and i, // april is the cruelest month, //  pretty women wonder where my secret lies. //  there is a place where the sidewalk ends // i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) // two roads diverged in a yellow wood, // whose woods these are i think i know // let us twain walk aside from the rest; // once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary, // i taught myself to live simply and wisely // it so happens i am sick of being a man // i wandered lonely as a cloud // does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? // o my luve is like a red, red rose // o captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done; //out of the night that covers me, // it was many and many a year ago, // you may write me down in history // do not stand at my grave and weep // some say the world will end in fire / some say in ice. // hope is the thing with feathers// the wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, // no man is an island, //remember me when i am gone away, // i met a traveler from an antique land // ‘twas brillig, and the slithy toves // this is thy hour o soul, // when we wear the mask that grins and lies, // death be not proud, // and death shall have no dominion. // laugh, and the world laughs with you; // the art of losing isn’t hard to master; // to see a world in a grain of sand // is there anybody there? said the traveller // nobody heard him, the dead man, // that crazed girl improving her music. // come to me in the silence of the night; // where the mind is without fear and the head is held high // when you are old and grey and full of sleep, // in flanders’ fields the poppies blow // i thought of you and how you love this beauty // life, believe, is not a dream // it may be misery not to sing at all, // if tarry space no limit knows // come live with me and be my love, // had we but world enough and time, // my heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains my sense // bright star, would i were stedfast as thou art- // thou still unravish’d bride of quietness // how do i love thee? let me count the ways. // heaven is what i cannot reach! // my dear, my dear, i know // in visions of the dark night // shall i compare thee to a summers day? // break, break, break //she walks in beauty, // i had a dream, which was not at all a dream. // he clasps the ring with crooked hands.

STRANDED.  no means to get out.  everyone sent out never comes back.    help is a distant solace too far for comfort as a whiteness plagues your surroundings.  a black mass off into the distance is IMMENSELY LARGE AND FOREBODING,  but it doesn’t move.  you’re stuck here with a relentless reel of the same question:  WHAT IS GOING ON?

Darcy wasn’t exceedingly taller than Carolyn, yet even a few extra inches help as he reaches up and a bit farther into the shelf than she was able. Fingers feeling blindly along the cool metal, they soon snag the coveted item. “I don’t think I’ve ever had cinnamon bagels before.” He hands the plastic bag over to the woman. “I’m rather partial to blueberry, though. But Georgiana likes cinnamon — “ Maybe he should get a bag of his own?

Yes — your knowledge is obvious.” It is a dry, sarcastic comment if there ever was one. He has passed the point of amused at Elizabeth Swann’s continued efforts, his sentiments now bordering on annoyance. Why must people remain so utterly bullheaded? “They’re likely to break the door down any moment now. Have you a match?

“You are quite the optimist, sir, although I daresay I find your brand of it a bit more agreeable than others. Whereas some prefer to ignore the hordes altogether, I far prefer your vision — at the very least, we must face what’s come and rebuild from the remains. Have you done much traveling through the country? The amount of people still gathering in large numbers out in the open astonishes me.”
