"At least you had parents to know," Anastasia responded over her shoulder.

---

"It's my special ability. I turn cynical quickly."

**BestNameEva** Tue 9 Dec - 8:29

Nevia tensed violently at that, glaring at Anastasia as she went, muttering, "Bitch, Atticus is a mess. She better be going to him..."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 9 Dec - 8:32

"Goodness me, you humans and your families. I came from a time where I watched my mother get burnt at the stake and my father was stoned to death. Honestly, you act like it's such a big deal when you all fucking die anyway. Relationships are just human selfishness - you don't want to be alone and so drag someone down with you."

---

Anastasia banged on the door of Nevia ' s place when she got there, not knowing if it was locked and not having a key.

**BestNameEva** Tue 9 Dec - 8:38

"Your sensitive about your family really," Nevia whispered, "I know you are, you get all snappy whenever I mention anything about before you became what you are, whenever I say your actual name... Theron,"

(( I think we said it was Theron xD Something like that, if I'm wrong than she said whatever the right one is haha ))

"Don't knock so loud!" Atticus snapped from inside the house, the sound of glasses smashing and a small curse. A few minutes later the door being opened by a dishevelled looking Atticus, his eyes slightly bloodshot, reaking of alcohol.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 9 Dec - 8:43

"Once upon a time I might have been. They're just husks of bodies, long turned to dust in the 'grand scheme of things.' My sister I killed myself, slit her throat and drained her dry. Was me or her."

---

"I've got no other way to get in," Anastasia was hugging herself tightly, eyes on the floor and posture stiff. "If it was that annoying you should have left it; I can go somewhere else." She took a step back, suddenly but faintly trembling.

**BestNameEva** Tue 9 Dec - 8:50

Nevia just nodded a little bit, leaning across the table and taking his hand. Just playing with his fingertips gently as she listened to him, not used to him opening up about his past - normally hearing it from Luci, so just staying quiet so he could continue.

Atticus just let out a deep sigh, taking a step back so she could come inside. Mumbling, "I didn't know it was you.."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 9 Dec - 8:52

"It was a game our uncle decided on. 'Only one of you can eat and live in our family. The other can die. You either choose or fight it out. Neither of us wanted to die. I was just the lucky one." Theon scoffed. "That luck was shitty though. Three months later and boom - ticket to hell and a twisted new sense of reality."

---

"If you'd rather recover alone I can go."

**BestNameEva** Tue 9 Dec - 8:58

"No.. No come in." Atticus whispered quietly.

She lifted her gaze up from his hand so she could meet his gaze, interlocking their fingers and squeezing his hand gently. "Mm, you've never had much luck," She agreed gently.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 9 Dec - 9:05

Anastasia edged around him into the building.

---

"Not that I'm sat here pitying myself. I got the good end of the deal, and went back to skin that sad excuse of a man piece by piece until he couldn't speak past the blood he was choking on." Theon pulled his hand free, sitting back in his chair.

**BestNameEva** Tue 9 Dec - 9:12

"You okay?" Atticus mumbled quietly, closing the door once she was in.

"Revenge never makes it completely better though, does it?" Nevia replied quietly with a small shrug. "Not that it means your self-pitying either. I just; you can talk to me about it, Theo,"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 9 Dec - 11:47

"I'm not purely human but other than that peachy keen," Anastasia muttered bitterly.

---

"Nah, the revenge made it perfect. Showed him what it was like to be given a choice and then lose it all anyway. Irony and everything." Theon flagged down a waiter.

**BestNameEva** Tue 9 Dec - 11:55

Atticus just slid his arms around her, pulling her into a small hug with a deep sigh. "I love you, no matter what you are. I'm here for you, you're not alone, I'm here."

"You've never been this open about it all before," Nevia mused quietly.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Wed 10 Dec - 6:21

Anastasia just stayed quiet, shoulders hunched and almost defensive.

---

"I'll shut up if you're going to be like that."

**BestNameEva** Wed 10 Dec - 6:33

"No, no don't. I was just thinking aloud Theo." She replied with a small sigh, "Glad we've gotten to the point where you can start to be open about it."

Atticus grimaced, dropping his arms when she didn't react and shaking his head before heading into the kitchen to find more alcohol.

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 16 Dec - 6:16

((But the brownie thing...Atticus and Ana can continue but the flustered Theon come on))

**BestNameEva** Tue 16 Dec - 6:17

(( Yeah, you post first? ))

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 16 Dec - 6:24

Theon was sat on Nevia's desk, reading a book that looked like it was bound in human skin, which was disturbing enough. He also had a plate of still warm brownies next to him.

---

"I don't know what's worse. That she lay with one and she loved it or that it forced her."

**BestNameEva** Tue 16 Dec - 6:27

"My sisters in love with one, I've gotten use to the fact of that now, unfortunately." Atticus whispered quietly.

----
Nevia wandered out from the other room, resting her hands on his shoulders from behind and kissing the crook of his neck. "Mm, it smells lovely in here."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 16 Dec - 6:38

"No one should have to get used to it." Anastasia sighed.

---

"You can have one if you give me your soul," Theon immediately replied, as if the line were rehearsed. "People put cookies in a house to sell it with the nice smell and I use brownies."

**BestNameEva** Tue 16 Dec - 6:44

"You already have my soul, handsome, and me. Does the offer still count?" She hummed with a grin, playing with his hair gently.

"When you have no other choice, what can you do?"

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 16 Dec - 6:50

Theon's grip loosened on the book and he fumbled to catch it before he dropped it, ears pink and face ducked because he was definitely flustered.

---

"If it wouldn't hurt her, then I'd kill it. I might have done anyway except for the fact the devil Lord himself takes the body at random intervals."

**BestNameEva** Tue 16 Dec - 6:54

"Theo?" She asked with a quiet laugh, moving around to his side and ducking down beside him to pick up the book and put it back on the desk. Grimacing at what it was made of before tilting her head beneath his, smiling at his colour and kissing his nose gently, "What is it you? Never seen you blush before."

"I'd kill it too if it wouldn't break her heart." Atticus muttered quietly before grimacing and humming, "Mm, it's weird how it does that isn't it? Is my sister technically in love with the devil too? I don't understand it."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 16 Dec - 7:06

"Its nothing. Shut up. No." Theon refused to meet her eye and bristled.

---

"I don't think she can love the devil - he certainly can't love her back." Anastasia trembled quietly.

**BestNameEva** Tue 16 Dec - 7:08

She just laughed a little bit, repeating softly, "I'm yours," as she lifted her hand up to rest on his cheek. Leaning up to press her lips to his.

"That demon thing can't love her back either but that doesn't stop her."

**Fruit-Pastilles** Tue 16 Dec - 7:16

"You've gone and scared him off," Luci whispered breathlessly, fingers curling into her hair as he kissed her almost sweetly in return. "It means a lot when you say it put loud you silly girl."

---

"She'll be broken in the end, I hope she realises that. I have pictures of my mother - she died when I was a babe - and she was a fragile, withered wasted thing. Giving your soul is like a loan. You pay a little more back in interest and it sucks every last piece out of you."
