Thranduil and Josie Part 47- Heart of Stone

A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star. An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally.

3 days had passed since the renewal of yours and Thranduil's vows and you both could not be happier. Things have been peaceful, but then again, you couldn't go outside the halls because of the vampire threat. You didn't mind one bit though, being secluded with the man of your dreams. Thranduil had told you about sending his company to hunt Garrett and Kate down, but Feren informed him that both vampires were not on Devil's Island and their whereabouts were unknown, which bothered you. As pissed as you were at Haldir, you still cared about him and worried that Garrett would come for the pendant. But for some reason, you felt Garrett was more fixated on you for the time being.

To make you feel better, Thranduil would take you up to the top of the halls at night, where you both would sit overlooking the ocean and could see the night sky, hoping to see another shooting star. It was the third night as you sat beside him up there with your head laying on his shoulder and his arm around your waist, staring up into the starry sky. "Are you sure I am not boring you to death with this Thranduil?" you asked as you lifted your head off his shoulder to look at his mesmerizing face.

"Silly sweet girl of mine, you could never bore me. I cannot get enough of you." he softly said as he turned his head down to yours and kissed your nose. You smiled. Oh how he made you smile. "Thranduil." you giddily said.

You began to slowly doze off but before your eyelids could close, you saw it. A shooting star. You jumped up.

"Thranduil look!!!" you said and laughed. He stood up beside you smiling at your enthusiasm. "Make a wish my love, quickly!" You said as you wished for Garrett and Kate to go away and never return. Thranduil heard your wish and held you tight.

"It will happen my love, if you believe. In magic." he grinned.

You giggled. "Of course I believe in it, I literally live in a fairy tale world. Now who's silly?" you said. Thranduil chuckled and playfully tickled you. You grabbed his face and planted a long deep kiss on his lips. You then asked "What did you wish for? I could not hear yours. That's not fair." you pouted jokingly.

He joked back. "Is it not said that if you tell your wish, it will not come true?"

"That is in the human realm. You are such a cheater Yandere Thranduil!." you snarked while laughing and tried to walk away. He yanked you right back against him and delved his mouth over yours.

You came up for air and he said "I will tell you if it ever comes true."

"If? Since when are you a skeptic?"

"Since the day I wished on a star at "moonlight" in Rivendell as a young elf. It took that long for you to come true. A thousand years I waited for you."

His special place that he took you to is what he spoke of. What a magical 2 weeks that was. "Well, I have waited my entire existence for you as well, even of it was only 24 years. All along I believed I would find you. Time has brought your heart to me."

"Indeed it has, but I can say that I have literally loved you for a thousand years. And I will love for a thousand more." he grinned cunningly.

"You are cheating again!" you said as you laughed and ran off. He caught you and swooped you up from behind, swirling you around as you squealed with joy. "Whoa...Thranduil stop. Please."

"What is it my love? Did I hurt you?? Thranduil asked in a panic.

"No baby...I...I just suddenly feel sick. I think you spun me around too much." you snickered. "I think I am ready for bed. I feel kinda strange."

Now Thranduil was even more concerned. "Strange? Is it Garrett??"

"No..I do not feel him at all right now. I don't know how to explain it. I just feel....different?"

"I think I know what it is my love. The high altitude, the wine, and me spinning you around like that did not help. Come on, I will carry you back to our room." he lovingly said and picked you up. By the time he got you back to bed, you had fallen asleep in his magical comforting hold. He laid you on the bed gently and wriggled your dress off of you, then undressed himself and covered you up, slipping under the covers behind you and wrapping his arms around you tight as he fell asleep.

Hours passed into the witching hours of 3am and Thranduil awoke to find you not beside him. "Josephine!" he called out to you in a panic only to hear nothing but silence. He flew out of bed, and alerted Legolas to search the halls as he dressed. Thranduil immediately went out into the gardens since it was one of your favorite go to places and you had been feeling confined. He had his sword drawn as he paced through the dark. There was no sign of you there so he continued on around the hall's perimeters. He called to you in his mind but heard nothing. His heart began racing in fear that Garrett had found you. He came around a corner and there you were standing on the stairs behind the balcony you and he had renewed your vows on. You were holding a lantern and staring out into the loud waterfall, so you did not hear him approach. He lowered his sword in relief but was now pissed off.

"Josephine." Thranduil sternly said.

You jumped and spun around, almost falling down the stairs, but he caught you. "Thranduil..." you gasped. "I..."

"What in the hell are you doing out here!" he barked. "Are you trying to make it easy for Garrett to reclaim you??"

"No, of course not. I...I just couldn't sleep, I...I had another bad dream and just wanted some air, I wasn't feeling good. I'm sorry Thranduil, I didn't mean to scare you. You were sound asleep, I didn't want to wake you."

"Wake me is exactly what you do! Instead of letting me awake , terrified and thinking the worst because you are gone and not answering my calls!" he fumed and sheathed his sword in a huff. He walked down the stairs and turned away from you. You stood where you were, wanting to go to him but he was very visibly upset. Then he spoke quietly with his back still facing you as he turned his head slightly to the side. "Do you have any idea what that did to me?"

His softened sad tone made you go to him. You put your hand on his arm and got him to turn to you. He was so hurt.

"Thranduil, baby I am soooo sorry. You are right. I should have woke you up instead of doing something insanely stupid. I guess I was just so upset over my dream and...I have put you through so much already. Everything has been so perfect, I didn't want to take that away from you with my mess."

"Our mess Josephine. For better or for worse." he said in a pained voice and turned away again.

You now felt like total shit. You threw your arms around his waist from behind and squeezed him tight. "You are so right my love. It is you and I, together against the world. I did not mean to hurt you sweetheart, not ever. I love you truly, madly and deeply. Please...forgive me. I will never scare you like this again." you sobbed against his back.

He laid his hands over yours that were clenched over his stomach. "Of course I forgive you my lady." he whispered and then turned around and took your wet face in his hands. "I know the pain all too well of of losing you more than once. I cannot bare it again."

You then hugged him so tight. He pulled back and kissed you so lovingly, then bent down, put his arm under you legs and picked you up, carrying you back inside as you as you wrapped your arms around his neck securely and snuggled your face into his neck.

The dreams just wouldn't let you rest. It's the one thing you hated about your magical capabilities because they either made sense or they didn't, and most came true in some form. Later that morning, you gasped awake. "Thranduil!" you screamed. He jumped right up and took you in his arms. You clung to him like a baby koala bear does to it's mother. "I..I can't take this anymore!" you cried into his neck.

Thranduil hurt for you so bad. "I am right here my love. Shhhhh." he whispered into your ear as he held your head tight against him with one hand and the other gripping your back. "Do you want to talk about it? You were screaming for me."

You fastly shook your head as you whimpered. He gently wiped your tears as his eyes darted all over your face, searching for your thoughts but you didn't want him to hear these. Not this dream. The same dream you had earlier. "I...I don't feel well." you gasped and ran to the washroom. Thranduil was right behind you, holding your hair back, like he always did if you were getting sick. This was bad, you couldn't stop throwing up to where it became dry heaves. Thranduil was in misery for you and placed his hand on your back, trying to heal whatever was making you sick. The warm glow arose under his hand and you slowly sat up. "I..I feel better." you said puzzled. "You? You did it?"

"Of course I did, I would do anything to keep you from hurting in any way. Josephine....talk to me. Tell me of your dreams so I can help determine what is happening. Please. Trust me my love..." he said while rubbing the back of his hand so tenderly down your cheek. He truly knew how to get his way with you.

You got up and went back to the bed and he followed. "It was.....Kate. I...I saw..." you stopped and closed your eyes at the horrifying visions you were remembering. "I saw you with her. I don't know how because she cannot access my dreams. My shield keeps her out so how did she do this? I can't unsee it Thranduil, what she was doing to you..." you said beginning to weep. "That's why I was so upset and needed to get air. I could not wake you and tell you of that. I just couldn't." You now began to sob.

Thranduil now understood and felt so horrible. His heart ached for you. "It is not her doing it. It is Garrett. He is sending you her memories to make you weakened and to destroy your love for me."

"What? Never! Nothing has ever been able to do that and nothing ever will. Is...is that what is making me sick again??"

"I believe it is. With his blood in you and his constant mind games, it is doing just that...weakening you. It is what he wants so you will give into him since he cannot get to you physically."

You began to tremble. "Thranduil...I'm so scared. What if he is eventually able to overpower me fully. What if I won't be able to fight him at all? In the last dream I had of him, he told me he was inside of me and always would be. Before he had took me back to that dreadful island, I had found myself on the beach with no idea how I got there, and I couldn't move. He was controlling me to stay there so he could come and take me. What if he does it again!!?" you said and broke down in tears.

"Shhhhh. That is why it is imperative that you remain by my side at all times. My company is still searching for him and will destroy him and Kate when they are found. Until then, you cannot go outside again."

Tauriel came down. "My Lord. I am sorry to disturb you but you have not been answering my requests to speak with you. A messenger is here with a package and you are needed to approve of it. Legolas is with him now at the front gates."

"I will be back soon my love. Tauriel will stay with you." He said with a smile and kissed your lips. "I love you."

"I love you my King. Please hurry back." you said with a sniffle.

"Father...I have been calling to you and you do not answer. Is everything all right since you found Josie?" Legolas asked Thranduil as he arrived at the doors.

"Yes. For now. What is this package I was called here for? You have the authority to accept these." Thranduil asked as he saw the messenger was an elf of Lorien.

"Because it is from Haldir...for Josie. I could not accept it without your knowledge and permission."

Thranduil's face turned into a scowl as he jerked it from the elf's hand mumbling some foul elvish language to him and walked up to his throne platform with it.

It was no bigger than his hand. "He never knows when to quit does he." Thranduil sneered as his nose flared.

"What are you going to do with it? Are you going to give it to her?" Legolas asked.

"She needs nothing from him. I will handle this. You may go." Thranduil said as he stared at the small box. He walked up the stairs to his seat and sat down, glaring at the package contemplating on what to do with it. Throw it out is what he truly wanted to do but his curiosity got the better of him, wanting to know what Haldir was sending his wife. He did the unthinkable and opened it. A soft light arose as he opened the box. Inside laid a a dreamcatcher made of gold and attached to it were white gems with a large moonstone that glowed of starlight. It certainly must have cost a small fortune.

He then noticed a small piece of paper and unfolded it.

Thranduil was immediately enraged and crumpled the paper slowly in his fist. He shoved it back in the box, closed it and threw it under his throne where it would certainly never be found.

In the meantime, you sat with Tauriel briefing her on what is happening. You cried and she took your hand to comfort you. She suddenly gasped and stood up, letting go of your hand and staring at you with wide eyes. Thranduil walked in simultaneously and heard Tauriel's thoughts causing him to drop the wine glass he was carrying. You jumped at the sound of the glass shattering on the floor.

You stood up so fast and stared at him. "Thranduil...what is wrong??"

He stood there speechless, completely frozen.

You looked at Tauriel for answers since Thranduil seemed disoriented. She smiled so big and came over to you. "Josie....I cannot believe it...you are....with child." She whispered loudly.

You stared at her and then at Thranduil, who was still immobile and mute. "That's impossible Tauriel? Remember, I told you, after all Peter had done to me, I cannot conceive. At...at least I believed that after he had his way with me every single day for months in that cabin and I never became pregnant. You have got to be mistaken??"

She placed her hand on your stomach while staring at it, then she sprung her head up to you. "No...I am not. There is life inside of you. A heartbeat. Do not ask me how I know...I just....know." she smiled. "That would explain your sudden onset of sickness. Remember, I told you that an elf embryo will make itself known in a matter of days and there would be no mistaking it?"

"Or a vampire's." Thranduil finally spoke with a horrid look on his face. You gasped at his words.

"W...what??? Thranduil, that's impossible! If Tauriel is right then there is no doubt in the world it is your child?? We have...you know...the past 3 days and...even just before that when I brought you back from Devil's Island."

"And just days before that, Garrett had his way with you."

"Thranduil stop it!! It is not even possible, he's a vampire!! How could you even think this?? Tauriel said there's a heartbeat!" you said as you began to feel sickened by his remarks.

"Oh but it is possible. Your dream...he told you he was inside of you. And the bats in your dream, swarming to you, eating at your dress....as a baby would feed off of it's mother."

You began to shake uncontrollably. "Thranduil....you stop this right now, you are terrifying me. That cannot be true???"

"Did Haldir mention that Craven's human partner was pregnant when she was killed?" Thranduil boldly said.

"No?? But Haldir also told me that his own father had relations with her to get that pendant! Thranduil why are you doing this??" you sobbed. All you could think of now was what he told you about Garrett and your dream. "Tauriel?? Tell me he is wrong??"

"I...I cannot Josie. I am sorry. There is only one person that would know...one who has had many dealings with the vampires." She said and looked down in fear of Thranduil's reaction.

"Haldir...." you whispered.

"How many times does his name need to be spoken?? Thranduil sarcastically said with a scowl on his face.

"Thranduil...Tauriel is right. No one will know but him....or...." you gasped..."Galadriel. Thranduil...we need to go to Caras Galadhon. She can tell me and...the fountain...I never watched all of my fate. It will show me."

"We need to do nothing. Galadriel concealed my son's death charade and I think you know I want no dealings with Haldir! I have had enough." he snapped and began to walk out.

You ran to him and grabbed his arm. "Thranduil! Please! I...I could be carrying your child! Do you not even care?? You told me the one time we thought I could be pregnant, but was not, that you had hoped for it to have been true. Did you not mean it?? You told me to trust you.. ...Our mess, for better or for worse...." you cried while clinging to him.

"It is not my child. The tell tale signs show me that. It is an abomination." he scowled, yanking free of your hold and stormed up the stairs.

You dropped to your knees and began to hyperventilate. You were in pure shock and distress from his reaction...and his ice cold words.

Tauriel ran to you and knelt down. "Tauriel?? What am I going to do?? I...I cannot leave here or Garrett will come for me. How could Thranduil be so heartless to me after everything??? I need him!!" You were gasping excessively and crying so hard. It all became too much on you physically and you passed out.

"Thranduil!!!" Tauriel screamed......Legolas had heard his wife's despair and came running in, passing his vengeful father on the stone stairs. "Help me...help me get her into bed." she said in desperation.

Legolas picked you up and carried you to the bed. "I heard my father's thoughts. What in the hell happened? Is it true? Is Josie with child?"

"I am certain of it." Tauriel told him. "But the King thinks...."

"Yes, I know. I heard that part also." Legolas said in utter disbelief. "Do you think it could be?" he hesitantly asked.

"I do not know. Legolas...you must go to Haldir and find out what he knows about such a thing. And Galadriel also. I will stay and tend to Josie."

"If I do that, Haldir will insist on coming back here and my father will kill him."

"That is a risk that will need to be taken. She needs our help as the King is clearly out of his mind right now. If she is indeed carrying a vampire's offspring, we know nothing of what it will do to her."

Legolas knew she was right. He kissed his love and went for his horse.

Thranduil raged all around the caverns until he arrived back at the enormous stone circular platform that sat in front of his throne. He went to the wine table and drank straight from the bottle, almost downing all of it, until something caught his eye. The small hourglass filled with red sand that he had retrieved from Rivendell when he was there with you. The same hourglass he had cursed Haldir with. He slowly put down the wine bottle and picked up the hourglass. A sinister look arose upon his face as his hand began to shake. His lips were bound tight together, his eyes wide with angst and his nose flared as he breathed like a mad bull. The darkness was consuming him, shadowing all good that was left in his his heart as he flipped the hourglass over, squeezing it so tightly that his knuckles turned white as he thought of Haldir, whom he solely blamed for all of this. Ominous words came out through his clenched teeth. "What was brought down upon me be returned but times three. Head to toe, skin and nerve. May you get exactly what you deserve Haldir of Lorien."

All of his promises to you now meant nothing to him. His vow of changing for the better....nothing. The consequences of his actions...also nothing. For his anger, hate and desire of vengeance claimed his soul. Thranduil of Mirkwood didn't exist anymore, for that part of him died this day. The King of wood and stone, was now simply just a heart of stone.......

Can I request another Garrett soulmate au? This one the mate he finally finds is blind and has been since birth. When she's changed they're not sure if she will gain eyesight as Carlisle said there are some things even venom can't fix. I think it would make Garrett melt being the first thing she's seen. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Please and thank you!!

(A/N: I apologize for how long this fic took, I was having a few problems with my computer. Nonetheless, I enjoyed writing this! Garrett and his human soulmate may just be my favorite thing to write🤭. I found the dynamic between Garrett and this reader to be so refreshing to express. I added a bit of my own twist to the end with the readers abilities, so I hope you don't mind. As always, Enjoy!)

Eye of the beholder

Garrett x Blind!Fem!Reader

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the twilight characters, nor do I claim them as my own. This work is purely fictional.

Summary: You had come to terms with the fact that you would be blind for the rest of your life, and the fact that you would never know what your lover, Garrett, looks like. But what if there was an accident, and you had to be changed? Would the venom grant you your eyesight?

‼️TW‼️: Mentions of blood, physical injuries, slight angst

Word count: 2,331

“Describe it again”, Your voice holds a pleading edge as you lay your head back on Garrett’s lap, “Please?”

“I’ve already described it two times, my love” Garrett chuckled, his thumb traced over your cheekbone. He was looking down at you, you could tell by the way his voice echoed.

You closed your eyes, snuggling further into him, “A third time couldn’t hurt.”

“ I guess not,” Garrett hummed, “ The snow, as I said is white-”

“White is the color that feels like pillow feathers right?” You inquire, rubbing your fingers together as if you could imagine the very feeling.

“Mhm-hm”, Garrett hummed in agreement, “ The snow itself is falling fast. Some of it is hitting the window beside us, while most of it is landing on the ground. The pine trees, the spiky ones, are covered in it.”

You shifted before he could continue, “ What does it make you look like, the snow? Does it make your hair a different shade? Do you get paler, if that’s even possible?”

“ I thought my appearance wasn’t important-”

“-It isn’t!” You reassure, “ I love you for who you are, obviously. I just want to know how you change with the seasons.”

“ His hair is a shade lighter. It goes from a cold tone to a warm tone, and no, it isn’t possible for him to get paler” Kate’s voice echoed from down by your feet. The Denali’s had been your makeshift family for quite a while, that’s how you had originally met Garrett. Kate had befriended you, despite the fact that you were just a human. You were a ‘fun soul’ she had insisted.

Then, after a visit from her cousin Carlisle, Garrett randomly appeared. Apparently, during Carlisle’s visit, he had come to the conclusion that you were the type of warmth Garrett needed, and he was right. The two of you clicked instantly. With Garrett, it was like you could see the world, even if you physically couldn’t. He made you feel whole, despite the rest of the world thinking you weren’t. Garrett never figured out how Carlisle guessed you would be his mate, but he’ll be forever grateful nonetheless. He had since then become happier, and healthier as the Denali’s would put it. Garrett hadn’t touched a human in the years he’s known you.

“Thank you, Kate, at least someone is helpful” You snort teasingly.

Garrett scoffs sarcastically, “ If I’m not helpful, then I guess you’ll have to find another mate who will read to you.”

“Carmen would” You huff, folding your arms stubbornly.

“Speaking of Carmen, she wants Garrett to take care of a bear problem” Kate informed, she must’ve been standing in the doorway now since you could barely hear her.

You didn’t need perfect eyesight to know that Garrett had rolled his eyes, “ and here I thought Kate had come to visit because she missed us”

Tanya had been gracious enough to let you and Garrett stay in the guest cabin, which was only a ten-minute walk from the main family house. It gave the two of you all the privacy and independence you needed but still remained close enough for the others to pop in and out.

“Will you remain here while I take care of the bear, or would you like me to take you over to chat with Kate-”

You sighed, cutting him off before he could worry anymore,“-Darling, we’ve lived in this cabin for years now, I can handle myself long enough for you to handle a pesky bear.”

“Yes, I know, and I’m not doubting you” Garret paused to cradle either side of your face, “ but leaving you in this house so far from the others just worries me. I'm sure Eleazor can handle the bear.”

You pulled Garrett’s hands from your face, “Garrett go, I will be perfectly fine while you’re gone.”

“Stubborn as ever” Garrett grumbled underneath his breath.

You snorted, “I heard that.”

“ You were meant to” Garrett replied before turning away, “I’ll only be gone a moment. Don’t venture outside the snow is getting worse-”

“-Gooooo” You groaned, tired of the princess treatment. Garrett mumbled a quick, ‘fine, fine’ under his breath before whisking away. The rush of air he left behind aided the deep breath you took. The house was now silent, and normally you hated silence. This, however, was nice. A moment of true independence is what you needed. Not that Garrett didn’t give you that, because he did, but he also smothered you sometimes. You had dealt with the challenges of being blind long before you met Garrett, and you would continue to deal with it even when he wasn’t there.

A thump near the door caught your attention. You cocked your head to the side just in time to hear it again. It was heavy and repetitive. Your palm slid flat against the living room wall as you moved closer to the door. Normally you would use your walking stick when venturing outside, but you only planned on opening the door this time, not exiting it.

“Hello?” You called out loudly, hoping that whatever animal it was would scurry away before you opened the door, but as you paused, the thump sounded once more. You opened the door slowly, cracking it just enough for you to step one foot outside. The sound was louder now as if it was right next to your head. You took your hand off the door for only a second, a second too long apparently. Before you could comprehend what was happening, your foot lost its grip on the first step and you were descending downwards. The icy steps met your back harshly, probably cracking a rib or two upon their greeting. Your head received the worst of the fall it seemed. It hit the cold step so hard that the ice turned warm, or perhaps that was just blood that you were feeling. Your heart stuttered at the pain, and Garrett had heard it. He was back by your side before the muscle inside your chest could beat again.

“ No, no, no, you were supposed to stay inside” Garrett panicked, he slipped a hand under your neck so that he could assess the damage. His undead heart would’ve dropped to his stomach if it could’ve. Sat at the bottom of your head was a gnarly gash that trickled blood onto the snow.

“Garrett-”

He put his other hand to your cheek swiftly, reminding you of his presence, “Yes, my love?”

He could see struggle decorate your features momentarily, “ I can’t move anything. Why can’t I move?”

Garrett stilled,“ Don’t worry about that. I’ll call Carlisle and he’ll fix everything-”

“-Why can’t I move?” A phantom ache spread across Garrett’s chest at the panic in your voice.

“Carlisle will explain everything, I promise” Garrett slid his hand away from your face and place it beneath your legs. Slowly, and carefully, he moved you back into the house. He placed a towel beneath your head and called Carlisle at the same time. The blonde doctor was quick to reassure Garrett that he would be there as soon as possible, and that he was. Carlisle took no more than a half hour to reach the Denali residence. Kate had been the one to greet him at the door. She explained how bad your condition had gotten, and just how much blood you had lost. Carlisle knew what he would have to do before he even entered the house, and it seemed Garrett did too.

“ Carlisle” Garrett greeted.

Carlisle nodded in return, “Hello again, Garrett. How is she?”

“ She is still awake, no need to talk about me as if I’m not” You spoke quietly, though to you it sounded loud.

“ My apologies” Carlisle chuckled, “How do you feel?”

“ I don’t feel anything, that’s the problem” You sighed.

“Alright-”

“ My sight had already been taken from me, Carlisle” Your voice didn’t quiver or hesitate, “ I can’t lose my mobility as well, please.“

Carlisle looked to Garrett before speaking again, “ What would you have me do then?”

“ Garrett knows what I want” The silence afterward was heavy. There was no need to ask if you were sure, or if you knew what it would entail. Garrett knew you were serious, but he also knew that he couldn’t be the one to do it. He had only become vegan a few years ago. The taste of human blood, especially yours would send him into a frenzy, and Garrett would never forgive himself if he couldn’t stop.

“Garrett” Carlisle was asking permission, he wouldn’t just turn someone else’s mate without their consent.

Garrett nodded, “ I trust you, Carlisle.”

“ This may hurt, I’m sorry” Carlisle apologized before leaning in. You didn’t feel the bite, but you sure felt the venom. It was as if your blood had turned to glass within your veins and then shattered into a million different pieces. Each and every one of those pieces then drove themselves deeper and deeper into the very mapping of your body. Garrett gripped your hand tightly as your back bent off the couch. He watched the muscles in your body tense and tears leak from your eyes.

Garrett looked to Carlisle solemnly, “Will she be able to see?”

“I’m not sure,” Carlisle answered honestly, “ There are some things that not even venom can fix. Truth be told, I have no way of telling if the transformation will work.”

“ It will, I told her it will” Garrett mumbled.

Carlisle’s lips pursed, “You know it isn’t up to us.”

It took a full day for the venom to work its way through your body. Garrett sat by your side the whole time. Kate and Tanya stayed for the first few hours, but once the sisters realized that the transformation would work, they left. Everyone knew Garrett would want a moment alone with you when you awoke.

When you finally did wake up, you didn’t bother to open your eyes. You had gotten so used to using your other senses that you were overwhelmed with how sharp they were. Every noise outside, from the birds chirping to the crunch of a hiker's boot that was acres away reverberated clearly throughout your ear. The fabrics of the couch beneath you felt like individual threads rather than twine that had been sewn together. Eventually, when you did open your eyes, a familiar stranger was there to greet you. You had never seen this man in your life, but you knew who he was. It didn’t take the auburn hair or golden eyes to know that he was Garrett, your Garrett. You reached out, a bit shakily, to touch his face. He was real, very real. You watched your hands meet the porcelain of his cheek. His skin crinkled under your palm as he smiled widely.

“Kate wasn’t kidding when she said you couldn’t get any paler, huh?” Your voice was even different, more melodious.

Garrett wanted to laugh, “ You’ve finally seen my face for the first time and that’s what you choose to say?”

“Would you rather I list every physical feature of yours that I find intriguing?” You jest, “because I could’ve sworn you insisted that your appearance wasn’t important.”

“It’s a relief to see that immortality didn’t take away her sass. I’m not sure we would’ve survived without it” Your eyes flickered to where Carmen’s voice sounded from. The brunette stood in the doorway with a smile just as warm as her voice.

Your eyes lit up with joy, “Carmen, it’s wonderful to finally see you.”

“ Oh come on, why does Carmen get a warm sentiment? I was the first person you saw-”

You shot Garrett a look over your shoulder, “Hush up, you child.”

It took not even a second to realize that Garrett had actually gone quiet. Both you and Carmen shot him puzzled looks. To which you received the same. Garrett's eyes were wide with confusion and his jaw was clenched tightly. He had indeed gone quiet, just as you told him.

“ I think we’ve figured out your gift already” Carmen chuckled, “ You’ll have to tell him to speak again.”

You let out a sarcastic snort, “And how would I do that?”

Carmen moved to stand at your side. Her hands positioned your head to look at Garrett once more, “ Look in his eyes and tell him to speak.”

You roll your eyes in disbelief before clearing your throat, “Alright, um..you may speak now.”

“ How did you do that?” Garrett sputters the second his mouth opens, “Nevermind, I know how, but wow that’s….that’s kind of hot actually.”

A laugh tumbles from your lips, “Only you would think that’s hot.”

“Not only is it hot, but it’s brilliant. Do you realize how much power your eyes now hold? I mean you made me do something with the slightest of eye contact” Garrett had moved to hold your face in his hands, his lips pressing gently beside each eye.

“Not sure it’s something to brag about-”

Garrett scoffs, “ Oh please, if you won’t brag about it, then I will. I want everyone to know just how brilliant my woman is.”

“Oh, your woman?” You gape in mock offense. Garrett hangs his head with a deep chuckle before attempting to correct himself. Carmen watches from the side with a smile on her face. Eyesight or not, you were still the same person, but the way your eyes refused to leave Garrett truly warmed her heart. The two of you continued to bicker as she backed away, leaving the two of you to explore your newfound gifts. Which you indeed did. The two of you used your newly bestowed abilities to travel the world. You were able to see so many things for the first time, and with Garrett by your side for all of it. Just like he would be for the rest of your eternal lives.

Welcome to part 2 of March’s recommendation list. Down below, you can find the link to take you back to part 1 featuring Peaky Blinders, Frankie Morales from Triple Frontier, Frank Castle, and the works that I posted. I still have some specialists that I’m traveling to go see, so there might not be 32 links this time around, but we’ll have to wait and see. The goal for March is to write another chapter In This Heart and rewrite The Spark. If you are interested in having your writing challenges featured here, or your stories, or even just your blog, please feel free to tag me in your works, message me, or use the hashtag MidnightWithDearKatyTSPB.

When One Heart Breaks The Other, Follows by @little-diable >> Tommy Shelby x Reader | Summary: Tommy has been at war for months, and the only thing the reader can cling to is the letters he kept writing. Until the day when he no longer writes to her, when she no longer knows if he's alive or not. All until one last letter finds its way to her. | I've been emotional lately, okay? So did I need tissues when I read this? Yes! But was I smiling by the end? YES!

SERIES:

*A Different Sort of Man Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3 by @evita-shelby >> Tommy Shelby x OFC!Eva, Canon!Tommy x Grace Burgess - Summary: Or where Eva plays around with magic, and Tommy wakes up in a universe where Grace is his wife. While in that universe, Tommy discovers just how different his life would have been if he had pursued the pretty witch in 71 Watery Lane. | My mother always warned me growing up to never fiddle with magic, but this just makes me want to...

It was just perfect.

Welcome to Downtown, Mr. Shelby by @notyour-valentine >> Tommy Shelby x Crawley!OC - Summary: He was born on a boat, with neither of his parents sure of the date after the fact, unregistered and unlisted until he went to fight for his country. Her birth had been celebrated with the ringing of church bells, champagne toasts, and announcements in newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic. Their worlds could not have been more different, and perhaps that was why, when Thomas Shelby looked at Lady Charlotte Crawley, he saw more than her title, more than her looks- he saw an opportunity. | Enjoyed reading this and emerging myself into this little world, and look forward to what is to come for Charlotte and Tommy.

SERIES:

When Frank finally sees you and realizes that you're all grown up, he struggles with accepting his budding feelings for you. | This chapter had me feeling so many emotions. You start with a stomach drop, then you feel so sad, and then you end it on a great high, needing a tall glass of water to cool down. Anna knows how to make you feel every emotion that the main character is going through at every moment of the chapter. That is a true talent.

Triple Frontier:

Very well. You can't help but notice. ...Santiago thinks that maybe it's time for the two of you to change things up in the bedroom.

GERALT OF RIVIA:

Late Bloomer by @cherienymphe >> Alpha!Geralt x Omega!Reader - Summary: Geralt of Rivia saves you from more than just a werewolf attack. | Sometimes, a one-shot is so good you share it twice with your followers. I'm pretty sure I shared it when I first started doing recommendations, and I'm sharing it again.

PEDRO PASCAL CHARACTERS:

Chokehold by @psychedelic-ink >> Joel Miller x Reader x Ezra - Summary: Joel’s frustrations run deep; to him, you were a twisted source of purity; touching you forced him to think, forced him to feel. But not Ezra. With him, he could do anything. A scary yet also exhilarating feeling. Or alternatively: You wake up to Joel and Ezra having sex. | The emotions you feel while reading this are just too good for me not to share.

I Forgot About Time and Space by @psychedelic-ink >> Ezra x Fem!Reader - Summary: You cook for Ezra's guests, and seeing the sight of you being so domestic awakens something in him. | The smut in this *chef's kiss* and the plot in general.

Various Pedro Characters - Summary: When you play with a strange cube, you’re transported out of your current reality with your boyfriend Marcus into brand new ones starring alternate versions of your boyfriend who look and act entirely different every time. With each encounter, you start to wonder if you’ll ever make it back to your real universe? | Such a good use of the Multiverse and it introduced me to characters that Pedro played that I haven't yet watched. Rae does an amazing job keeping you at the edge of your seat and passing off such deep emotions. It's a must read for Pedro Pascal fans.

*Meet The Millers by @musings-of-a-rose >> Joel Miller x Benny Miller x Will Miller x f!reader - Summary: Moving into the Boston Quarantine Zone after nearly 20 years on the outside takes some adjusting. A misdirection one night guides you to the 3 men who will change the course of your life. | This series has a little bit of everything from drama to love and spiciness.

When You're Reading Me by @psychedelic-ink >> Joel Miller x Reader - Summary: If you had to make a list of things Joel Miller might buy you as a gift— nipple clamps would not be a part of it. | *Internally screams* This was really hot, and I think I'll go grab a cold shower now.

STRANGER THINGS:

The Grief of Losing Eddie Munson by @eufezco >> Steve Harrington x Reader - Summary: Best friends with Eddie Munson, the reader goes through the stages of grief of losing her best friend with her family at her side. | Someone pass me the box of tissues.

My Luck by @forgottenpeakywriter >> Tommy Shelby x Reader

My Sun, My Moon and All My Stars by @zablife >> Tommy Shelby x OFC!Aurora Sabini | Lee puts together a breathtakingly beautiful moodboard for a what-if scenario in the Peaky Blinders universe. It leaves you wanting to read more and more for the couple.

Your Bread by @forgottenpeakywriter >> Alfie Solomons x Reader

Your Eyes by @forgottenpeakywriter >> Tommy Shelby x Reader

You Like That by @dearshelby >> Tommy Shelby x Reader | Tall glass of cold water to cool down, please!

@psychedelic-ink - SIL, is such an amazing writer, writing most recently for Pedro Pascal's characters and sharing her amazing works with us here. Her masterlist includes more than just Pedro's characters, having written for the MCU and Oscar Isaac, to name a couple. I love the emotions you feel through every piece of writing she puts out, and I have yet to find a piece I don't like. I think you'll find you like or perhaps love her writing just as much as I do.

@shelbydelrey - Isa is a Peaky Blinder writer whose work I enjoy reading and love seeing the moodboards she puts out as well. I would definitely give Isa a follow because she brings positivity to your dashboard with her reviews and welcoming spirit.

⤷ female, ambiguous race, and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!

ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ

🌿ESFJ 🍁Hufflepuff 📜Lawful Good 🔮Pisces Sun, Gemini Moon, Gemini Rising

SFW🌿

▪️ She wasn’t alone, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t lonely

▪️ After the fight with the Volturi, Tanya saw her coven mate, Kate, fall in love

▪️ She was happy for her, truly

▪️ But now she felt like the odd one out... like someone had come to pick puppies from a litter and she was the runt

▪️ Harsh words, she know how harsh she can be on herself. In the past, Kate often chastised her for being so cruel to her own person.

▪️ But even after all this time alive, she couldn’t help it.

▪️ Why not me? Tanya often thought.

▪️ Yet she never showed her doubts, never made others around her feel the same negativity she felt

▪️ You were a newborn, but like Bella, your need for blood wasn’t as frenzied as others.

▪️ Along with the heightened speed, sight and smell, you could also implant any fake or real memories into anyone’s mind.

▪️ Helpful in almost every situation:

→ someone won’t leave you alone? you could implant a memory that they had killed someone hours before. Most of the time, when implanting these memories, outwardly people are distracted.

→ if someone is feeling down, you can give them a happy memory - it lifts their mood.

→ someone starts yelling about how you’re a vampire? you can give them a quick memory that their tongue fell out, and for a few moments they’re confused.

▪️ With this gift, you can transform, alter, change, create and destroy a person. Similar to mind control, but the person’s reaction is of their own accord.

▪️ You stumbled into each other one afternoon in the woods

▪️ Both of you hunting, however, you were wild with hunger. You were doing your best, but you were confused as to why your body was so thirsty. You had food and water but that made you sick. You were confused and frightened

▪️ But on your own, you had figured out what you wanted-

▪️ Blood

▪️ But you wouldn’t dare take it from a human, you barely even wanted to take it from an animal, because you knew how hungry you were

▪️ You knew once you started, you wouldn’t be able to stop

▪️ It was luck. It was destiny.

▪️ You and Tanya had gotten in each other’s paths and your story started there

▪️ She is such a loving partner

▪️ Tanya knew you were her soulmate as soon as you said her name. The excitement she felt, pure and true, that she found someone. It brought tears to her eyes.

▪️ As the leader of her coven, she wouldn’t hear any backlash against letting a newborn into their family

▪️ Garrett was apprehensive, but he was that way with any person, place or thing. Honestly, he isn’t very friendly

▪️ Tanya likes being the big spoon, although you guys don’t sleep, you do have a lounge in your shared room

▪️ Tanya is still afraid of the Volturi, so she’s very adamant about upkeeping their rules

▪️ She has a lot of things in her room, but they’re always orderly. She’s like a walking aesthetic

▪️ Calls you ‘my love’

▪️ You spend your days travelling, she wants to show you the world and you desperately want to see it

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈:

Harvest Moon by Cassandra Wilson

𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝑻𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒔:

✧ Curious and Wide-Eyed (You) x Has Seen Everything, Thinks It’s Cute (Tanya)

✧ Opposites Attract

✧ I Don’t Know What I’m Doing But At Least I’m Alive, Right? (You) x You’re Doing Great, Sweetie (Tanya)

NSFW🔞minors dni!

▪️ She would happily go down on you, but she’s definitely more of a receiver than a giver in that situation.

▪️ Tanya would be more dominant than not. She likes to be in charge, to have you at her mercy.

▪️ She likes when you leave marks on her chest, in between her thighs. Tanya wants to be claimed, she wants to be yours.

▪️ Intimacy always starts out with gentle hands and soft touches. But it heats up very quickly.

▪️ It’s like you can’t get enough of each other

▪️ The scent, the taste, the feel of one another

▪️ Your smell alone drives her insane with lust

▪️ Tanya would definitely want to use sex toys - vibrating dildos (the kind where you can change the speed), nipple clamps, and the like. But it wasn’t like she bought it when you got together. Tanya had all these before you came into the picture (she has a lot of time, okay?)

▪️ It’s not proper sex if you haven’t orgasmed at least three times. Tanya prides herself on her tongue and fingers

▪️ Aftercare is so gentle, Tanya always makes sure you’re comfortable and does whatever your heart desires. Want to freshen up? She’s already started the bath. Hungry? Let’s go and hunt!

The Snow Queen

Tanya Denali x Reader

A/N: Why was finding a reason for the reader to have some kind of power so difficult this time for real? Anyways how are you guys I missed you, hope your lives are going well 🤍

⋆┈┈｡ﾟ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ﾟ｡┈┈⋆ ⋆┈┈｡ﾟ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ﾟ｡┈┈⋆

Circe was a goddess of sorcery who was skilled in the magic of transmutation, illusion, and necromancy.

Artemis: Goddess of nature, childbirth, wildlife, the Moon, the hunt, sudden death, animals, virginity, young women, and archery

It was certainly one of the most beautiful aspects of having such advanced eyesight. The ability to zone out and shut out the endless drone of sound she was forced to constantly hear without a seconds rest. By focusing on the details no human eye would be able to see, she could find a moments peace. The intricate details of every snowflake that landed on the strawberry blonde tips of her curled hair. She took in a deep breath, a crisp fresh scent of freshly packed snow. The release of air did not create even the slightest plume of smoke. Why would it when there was no warmth that came from inside of her. She copied the human action she’d seen many times over and tightened her hold on her jacket. Though it provided no actual change in her body temperature it still had a feeling of normalcy, the slight pressure change was almost enough to trick her mind that she was warming her cold body up. Her eyes looed up from her hair, landing on her gloves, and then they began to scan the horizon as they did every morning as of late, perhaps today would be the day she’d change her mind. Seen how mistaken she had been. The soft crunching of two pairs of feet on the hardened snow let her know her peaceful morning was about to come to an end.

“Tanya.”

“Don’t.”

“Tanya. We cannot survive like this.”

“You are always welcome to leave Eleazar. I’ve never forced you to stay here.”

“Tanya please, my husband means no harm. With all of the protection efforts being put in place we only worry we will attract attention.” Carmen tiptoes around the blonde, her patience growing thinner by the day.

“I will not stray from the diet. You are more than welcome to go back to eating humans but do so away from my home.”

It was an empty threat. Tanya didn’t have it in her to feel otherwise. For years life had been peaceful, perhaps sad at times when they would remember their losses but peaceful nonetheless. Then Garrett got bored. As far as Tanya was concerned this was all his fault. He had always been rather obnoxious to her, his shameless flirting had won over her sister and suddenly she became the only one without a mate. Without love. It wasnt fair. Human men no longer satisfied her, she was getting reckless. Using too much of her strength. Tanya had convinced herself that they were going unnoticed. She was a fool. With the years passing men seemed to become weaker? No. Stronger. Louder. More Aware.

｡ﾟ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ﾟ｡

‘What are you?’

‘Why are you doing this?’

‘Please…stop’

Those words were the ones that stuck out the most. Before she could control her thirst, sure there were casualties both now… no one had ever told her to stop. She’d heard the stories from Rosalie, Siobhan, the horrors they went through. Tanya had been sick for weeks, discovering she had been no better than those monsters who had hurt her friends. How many men had done as she asked out of fear? It had been driving her mad for weeks. Had she been so blind to think they enjoyed it when she could barely feel anything at all? Then Garrett just had to question her recent lack of nightlife.

‘What’s the matter barbie? Tired of ravaging the villagers?’

‘What... did you just say?’

‘Garrett.’ Kate hissed

‘What? Are we still pretending they enjoy could ever enjoy our company that way?’

‘Would you suggest we kill them?’ Tanya scoffed at the idea, surely it couldn't have been that bad.

He shrugged, ‘I’m sure most them knew it could happen, probably would have prefered it in most cases. You can go on pretending as much as you want but just like Carlisle and his family…they can tell. No matter how much we may want we dont...we arent like them. All we do is cause pain Tan. No matter what way we come into conatct with them.’

He… knew? Did her sister? Did she care? Did she even want to know? No, not really, what Tanya wanted was an excuse. Garrett gave her an excuse. Suddenly the long peaceful days had turned into screaming matches filled with accusations, fights, threats. Every grievance aired like laundry. It was only days before they were at an impasse.

‘You need to get him out.’

‘He’s just worried. We all are. And by the way, you may have been turned first but you are not in charge of me.’

‘Kate please. We have lost too much to be at each others throats like this.’

‘Oh please. Stop. Just stop bringing it up. You act as if this is all his doing. We both know this stopped being about—‘

‘Don’t.’

Kate sighed, ‘It stopped being about "her" ages ago. You were basically her daughter, when she couldn’t replicate you with me, she turned Irina. Do you ever think I wanted this to be forced into a family I knew nothing about? It was only when Visili had come up that you even noticed a fraction of her neglect. Tell me sister, you were the one with the wonderful idea to find someone who could comfort us in our grieve... tell me how many men did you smell on me? You think I lured men to comfort myself? I’ve play along enough.’

‘You…wanted to kill them? Want to kill them? Even now?’

‘God- are you even…. Look. I do not care to hide what I am. We need food. I just played with mine a little.’ Kate shrugged, she said it so simply. A fact that everyone should know. It was something her and Irina never talked about, how Kate always seemed to leave early, never having even a hint of any man on her. Women sometimes but not in that way...Tanya blinked a few times to try and regain her composure.

‘And the women?’ She scoffed, both knowning Kate would never put herself in a position to harm another woman. Neither did Tanya, she supposed maybe deep down she did know what she was doing.

‘Better company. We all grieved differently. But times have changed.’ End of discussion. Tanya had to refocus the conversation, she wouldn't, couldnt lose another sister. Especially not because of her doing.

‘What do we do then?’

‘There’s less animals lately, don’t try and pretend otherwise. We can’t feed too much without drawing attention from the humans.’

‘You can’t be serious.’

‘I’m done arguing Tanya. There’s too many conservation efforts and the locals are noticing the alarming lack of animals. We have to get off the diet. It-" Kate took a quick breath, steadying herself in an attempt to show her sister she was on her side, "It doesnt have to be a permanent solution.'

'No.' Tanys turned away quickly trying to stop whatever conclusion was coming

'Tanya.' Kate grabbed her shoulder, causing the shorter blond to whirl back around, furious. Kate took a step back, there was a new rage building in her sister. Something she had never seen before, and certainly never thought it could ever be aimed towards her.

'I said NO!' Tanya shook with rage. This was all she had left. She needed to keep this one thing, even if just for herself. She had never raised her voice with so much venom at her sister. Her voice to something that could only be described as a mere notch above a whisper, 'If you're so worried...go.'

'Tanya...' The sisters stared at eachother for what seemed an eternity. The silence was so deafening they thought they were able to hear the snow landing on the ground. Eleazar and Carmen watched Kate seem scared for the first time in their life. Her own voice soft, laced with concern

'If you insist on changing our lifestyle. Fine. Leave. And go eat happily elsewhere."

Kates lip trembled for only a second before her steel reserve returned, her eyes darkening, 'Fine.'

Garrett suddenly tried to be the one to diffuse things, started apologizing for angering Tanya to get them to where they were now. In truth, with food this sparce they had all begun worrying. He would never live with himself if Kate lost her sister. ‘Look Tanya, I shouldn’t have—‘

But before he could say more Kate grabbed his hand. With a slight shake of her head, Garret quietly nodded and followed his mate out the door.

｡ﾟ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ﾟ｡

Now… here it was. Only weeks later and it was Carmen and Eleazars turn. And Tanya was too numb to care. She would rather starve for eternity, petrify before having to change the diet. It had been too long. It was the only thing she had been good at. She needed this. At least thats what she was telling herself. Maybe she could join the Cullens for a while. Not likely. She knew they were struggling too and with the amount of people in the coven any food would be a fight to acquire. She sighed as Carmen came up best to her placing her hands around her arms, the touch alone was enough to almost break her.

“We will see if there’s any luck elsewhere.” Tanya just nodded, “Call us anytime.”

With a kiss her and Eleazar ran off. Maybe to join Kate and Garrett. Maybe they would actually try. She couldn’t watch someone else leave her. Not again, she decided to head inside pretend none of this was happening, ignore the gnawing at her throat and stomach. Tanya retreated to the bathroom turning on the bath as hot as it would allow her. She didn’t have to worry about it burning anyway, so why not?

Drip. Drip. Drip.

She counted every drop from the faucet. The steam from her bath dissipated, by the time she was well into the four hundred some odd drop the water had cooled. Her head turned towards the window in her room at a sudden noise. The sun was already setting in the distance, hues of orange, pink and purple painted the sky. She may have smiled at the thought of it if she hadn’t been so preoccupied with someone possible awaiting to attack her. Maybe the volturi decided it was time to pick her off. She sat up too quickly at the thought. The water splashed around as she sat up, drowning the noise.

“Shhh!” She hushed her self immediately, not quite believing she had actually tried to quiet water. She heard something she knew she had. While she could smell nothing but her own candles and perfumes she held out hope it was one of her coven mates. She quickly dressed and rushed towards her bedroom window. It wasn’t her family. It wasn’t anyone she had ever come into contact before.

She saw a figure walking away from her home, head full of ebony hair, braids woven into random strands.

Who was she? And what the hell was she doing here? Tanya thought to herself. She rushed faster than she ever had out to the front of her home, by the time she reached the deck the woman was gone. She saw her a mile in the distance, no human being could move that quickly, but when the woman turned it was clear she was not like Tanya either. Tanya’s hand gripped at the railing of her porch, the wood crackling at the pressure as she continued to stare at the retreating figure walking away.

When she was at the edge of the forest she finally turned, smiling and waving at Tanya before continuing deeper into the wilderness. The woman could only be described as ethereal by Tanya. She wore clothes that couldn’t possibly keep her warm, as if only for appearances. Just like her. She quickly made it to where she was just standing, her footprints already disappearing with the fading light and continuous downfall of snow.

Tanya listened as hard as she could, she heard a soft voice. She could also smell the sudden appearance of blood. A deer. There hadn’t been one near the house in months. Her hunger clouded her judgement, her sole priority to feed on whatever poor creature decided to return.

There was only a small clearing but enough to see the giant caribou, her eyes focused on the deer. Why wasn’t it running? Tanya could taste the warm pool running down her throat, finally, something was going right. She hissed at the animal, give it a chance to run. Make this more exciting. A warm laugh erupted from behind giant creature. And the woman stepped out from behind,

“I should be somewhat offended, but I guess he is really beautiful isn’t he?” Tanya let out a snarl, a warning. This woman needed to back away unless she wanted to become a casualty herself. She didn’t even flinch. She continued to pet the wild creature and laughed, a warm beautiful laugh. Tanya stared at her sepia brown skin, it shone in contrast to the white surrounding her. Her voice made Tanya snap to attention, “you won’t be eating this one.”

“Oh I’m not? Are you going to stop me?”

“I guess not. But I will help out this little guy.”

Before Tanya could ask what she meant the deer began disappearing before her eyes, “No!”

“Tsk. Tsk. We should be careful with earths most precious resources.”

“Bring. It. Back.”

“Why? So you can eat? There’s an overpopulation of humans for you to feast on. If you want them to survive so badly it would actually benefit you to put the smallest dent in some of them.” She took a few steps closer to Tanya. A lopsided smirk on her face as she almost skipped across the snow with her arms behind her back, she stopped right before Tanya, tilting her head as close as she could, “Your eyes. They’re darker than the night sky.”

Tanya growled, swinging her arm towards the girl in front of her. She disappeared as quickly as her arm went up. Suddenly reappearing next to a tree, she leaned against it holding waving one finger, “I thought we were getting along, tell me Tanya of the Denali coven, how long will it take for you to go back to a regular diet. I’m growing tired of these enchantments.”

“Who are you and what do you want?”

“You don’t listen very well do you? I need you start hunting humans, like you’re supposed to. Hunt the rich ones, or the evil ones so you appease whatever guilt you have.”

“I—who are you?”

“Aspa. Lovely to meet you.”

Tanya fixed her hair, trying to regain her composure, “so you’re the one behind all the missing animals.”

“Yes…and no. There really has been a problem. Humans…they’re greedy they take too much, destroy too much. They have been destroying this world since they were allowed to walk around….but they’re smart. No animal means no resources from them to take. So if enough of them disappear for a while they begin making an effort. An actual effort, if only to ensure they survive.”

“So how long until that effort pays off.” Tanya spit out

“You surprise me Tanya. Your extended family broke so quick it was almost too easy.”

“You mean—“

“Oh yea. The Cullens have long been off the diet, the doctor and blonde were difficult to convince but wow the younger guy, he broke instantly. All it took was for their youngest to feed on a poor classmate trying to walk her home, like dominoes really. But you… you want to starve yourself.”

“I would rather not actually.”

“Does it help?”

“Help what?”

“You’re guilt? Does it take it away?”

“I don’t…”

“Please. I had to observe all of you for years to know how to best accomplish all of this. It won’t change what you did to those men.”

Tanya choked back a sob, “I didn’t think—“

“Why? Because no one ever said anything? You knew. Deep down you knew.”

“I get it okay? I’m a monster, I just—I wanted to think they cared about me enough to say nothing. I thought they—forget it” Tanya turned to walk away, but Aspa reached out and grabbed her arm

“So then be better. If you really didn’t know then stop and just continue to not do it. Besides most of those men approached you with less than good intentions anyway.” Tanya shook her off, she had no idea what she’d gone through

“But…”

“Just do better. Find your own person.”

“Where did you even come from?”

She clicked her tongue, “well that’s not very nice is it?” She waited for Tanya to look away, embarrassed. “My birth mother I suppose. She was a hunter and follower of Artemis. A god took a liking to her, she said no, he didn’t care. You know know how it all goes in those stories. Artemis took pity on her, let her give me up so she continue following the goddess. And then little me well… she took me to an island gave me her blessing and I was raised by a wonderful enchantress, my adopted mother I suppose.”

“Goddess? That’s impossible.”

“Why?”

“There are no gods like that. They….aren’t real”

“Maybe to you? They’re plenty real to me. I’m sure the caribou you were thirsting over would be shocked to learn about something like the pudu in South America.”

“Are you equating me to an animal?”

Aspa laughed again, “you love to purposefully avoid what people are trying to communicate with you. Is that why your sister decided to go back to the original meal plan?”

“No I just— I don’t understand.”

Aspa leaned forward, stopping centimeters from Tanya’s face, eliciting a gulp from the blonde, “Understand this. The animals will not return anywhere until I say so. You will not be able see, hear or touch them. No one will.”

“What about the humans? Without animals don’t you think they will outsource all of the plants?”

“Oh Tanya don’t worry about them. They will find exactly how much they need and if some must go…well. That will work out better in the long run.”

She tried to step back but Aspa stepped forward regardless, Tanya could barely breather. Aspas scent filled every cell in her body. Her blood smelled sweet, as if she was filled with the ichor of the gods she claimed to be a descendant of. Her mischievous grin slightly reminded her of Kate whenever people would doubt her abilities. Could she really go back to the old diet? Aspa reached out and raised Tanya’s chin. The heat from her touch felt as if her handprint would be permanently etched on her face. Tanya half hoped it would, before she convinced herself and this was all a dream.

“Tanya you worry too much. Believe me there are plenty of people for you to eat where it shouldn’t harm your conscious. Really, you’d be doing me a favor. You should visit the Amazonian coven, they’ve been helping me with my little homework since I began.” Somehow the knowledge of Aspa showing herself to another vampire almost urged another snarl from her lips.

“You’ve been making your rounds then?”

Another chuckle as she turned around flipping her thick hair as another rush of her scent filled Tanya nose, citrus and what smelled like some type of spirit, “I had to get in touch with your ‘kings’ so yes, you are the last on my list.”

“What?! You’ve met with the volturi?”

She crossed her arms as she made her way towards the end of the clearing, “of course. I did. Your kind isn’t the only ones I’m working with here. The fae and nymphs were the easiest to convince. The witch too but they mainly enjoy the chaos. Most of the others are unaffected. It’s a big world Tanya. You should see more of it when you have the chance.”

The clearing seemed to widen, as if the earth was ready to swallow the woman into the trees. Never to be seen again. It was too much for Tanya to process. Already Aspa had begun disappearing, except unlike the first time this evening she feared not knowing if she would ever see her again. “So that’s it?”

She turned back and simply nodded her head, “mhm. In another few years everything should be back to normal. Some places may even be overpopulated…that is if you want to go back to hunting them.”

“If I do... Will you take them away again?”

“Tch please, aside from my mother who was kind to let learn her magic. I follow the one my birth mother followed too. And she was the best huntress there ever was. There’s a fine line between necessity and sport.” She smiled as she peered behind her shoulder, “I’ll see you around, yeah?”

“Hm is that a promise or a threat?”

She stopped dead in her tracks, “I guess we’ll see. Won’t we?”

｡ﾟ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ﾟ｡

“Tanya.”

“Go away.” Her sister voiced grated her ears, she decided to cover herself in blankets

“Tanya so help me I will shock you out of bed, you can’t lay around all day.”

Tanya continued to cocoon herself in blankets, “I can actually. What does it matter anyway I’m just laying down. It’s only been a few days.”

Kate sighed as she sat on the edge of the bed, “you’ve gotten like the past two here years around this time.”

“I have not.”

“You have. I know because around the time we had that fight.”

Tanya sighed knowing full well that had little to do with it, “I promise I’m fine. I just….I want to rest.”

Kate groaned in her protests, slapping her legs as she stood up, “Nope we are all doing something so get up.”

Tanya had no time to protest before Kate promptly kicked her off the bed, Tanya struggled to get out decidedly just tearing through the thick blankets, downing effectively covering every square inch of her room, “Kate! What the hell??”

Kate laughed, “well it worked.”

Garrett rested his arm on the doorway, “if I knew feathers would have been flying I would have been in here from the beginning.”

“I’m sure you would have.” Kate winked at him causing Tanya to roll her eyes

“Ugh. You win I’m up. Now get out, I need to clean.”

“No the point is to get out. Come on, we haven’t ran in awhile. We can go find one of those hanging lakes the humans live to visit.”

“I do hear they’re quite beautiful.” The three whirled around towards the sound of someone coming from the deck in Tanya’s room. Aspa sat on the railing pretending to inspect her nails. Kate and Garrett snarled and lunged towards her. Tanya opened her mouth to protest but Aspa disappeared into dust before either one could grab her. Garrett almost crashed into the railing towards the floor below. She reconfigured next to Tanya her arm resting on her shoulder.

“I see you haven’t told your friends about me. I’m not sure why but I think I’m slightly offended.”

“You’re….back?”

“I did say I would be.” She quickly looked over Tanya, “I’m glad you listened, the red suits you.”

Tanya looked away at the compliment. Kate looked between her sister and the stranger, in all the centuries between them she’d yet to see her sister ever get flustered like this. “Yo-you know her?”

Aspa wiggled her fingers, scrunching her face in a smile. “Oh we’re acquainted. I promised to pay Tanya here a visit.”

Tanya shrugged Aspa off, wondering what it meant that she was finally back, “so it’s done? It’s all balanced?”

“Since last year actually, I just wanted to see if you would go back. You never even checked.”

“I found ways to appease my guilt.”

“You’ll have to tell me about them sometime.”

Kate started to protest before Garrett wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into him as he slightly nodded and winked, “come on Katie. I thought we were going to race. Let’s let Tanya and her… friend catch up.”

Kate looked up at her mate, a conversation passing through them before she nodded and the two disappeared from the cabin. Aspa was mouthing a goodbye to the pair as Tanya spun to face her new guest fury climbing at her.

“Why are you here?”

“I told you I would come.” She shrugged, “isn’t that why you asked me about the promise?”

“What you couldn’t communicate earlier than today?”

“I didn’t know you wanted me to.”

“We both know you are smarter than that.”

Aspa softened tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, she trailed the back of her hand down her cheek and until she hand chin in between her thumb and pointer finger, “you’re right. That was rude of me. Can you forgive me?”

She pushed her hand away from her face, “ugh. No.”

“No?” She stepped away a pout starting to form on her face

“No. You have to do better than that.”

“Okay well I know of a few places I doubt even you’ve stepped foot on, would you like to see them?”

“I guess seeing as I have nowhere to be.”

“Oh don’t be like that. It will be the best date you’ve ever been on.”

“Who says it’s a date?”

“I do. Come on. I’ll show you a great time.” Aspa extended her hand, Tanya hesitated for only a second before grabbing it. “Ready?”

“Where are we even going?”

“Somewhere warm, where you don’t have to worry about hiding yourself.”

“I doubt anyplace warm can offer that kind of freedom.”

“You doubt me?”

“I—no. It’s just…”

Aspa interrupted Tanya with a kiss in the corner of her lips. “Don’t worry it will be perfect.”

“You’re right. It will be.”
