REXANNA
they say that war is hell, but true hell begins when the battle ends —
The Bone Bridge was a good place to be alone, Rexanna thought as she leaned against the side of it – staring deep down into the fog and remembering that time that Alistair and her had jumped off the side, to fall below and revel in the fact that they were still alive. She wondered where he was, and what had happened to him over Longnight – sending up a silent prayer to all those gods who might have listened that he would be safe. But so much had changed since then, new friendships and sudden rivals, she wasn’t sure where that had left her.
And then there was the slight issue with Bastien – his disregard for the gods and becoming Ascended and suddenly she began to wonder if she was falling for him. And how that might complicate things if Alistair ever returned. She had never made anything official with Alistair, nor with Bastien, but the kindness they both had showed her had her almost feeling guilty of not trying to find the man with the dark curls before – who had been there when she still bore her brand. She sighed into the chilled morning air, tucking her arms tight around her as she stared into the distance. Despite everything that Bastien had done, for whatever opinions others held about him, she appreciated him. And perhaps there was a spark of something else beneath it all that she wasn’t ready to face just yet, a sudden almost too soon feeling. It was… Hard for her to deal with, on top of the entire situation with the Naturals verses the Outlanders. And how they were supposed to deal with that when it seemed like the Naturals had made it quite clear where the Outlanders had stood. Perhaps it was best to remain with Outlanders for the time being, or to remain by herself. and you're the only one who's hands drip red. the real war rages in your heart; it always has. |

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? Phoebe was walking. Not anywhere. There was no destination. She was just walking. Aimlessly. Her cheeks were stained from tears, eyes red and puffy, watching the ground in front of her blankly. She wasn't certain how long she had been walking for, or where she was really. Frankly, she didn't care. The farm boy and the midwife, sounds like a storybook... A sad one it turned out. A horrible, ugly, ill-conceived one where she ended up alone and hurting and wishing she could go back to the day in the market and force herself to just keep walking. Don't look at the stall, don't talk to the handsome boy there. Just keep your eyes forward and keep moving. But she couldn't. Everything had gone so quickly, built up in passion and destroyed in the shadows of Long Night, the embers snuffed out by the weight of forces neither really had a hand in. She hesitated, her feet coming to a halt by an unfamiliar surface. Her brows furrowed and she looked up in confusion. A...bridge? She had heard of the Bone Bridge but never come out to it. And...someone was there? Her eyes squinted a bit to see who it was. "Rex?" she called out, realizing who it was. the Penumbra

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? Phoebe hurried over when Rex called back, as if being summoned. She wiped at her eyes and managed to give her a small smile as she got close. "Scream your frustrations? What's wrong?" she asked her in concern, glancing over the edge of the bridge. The site made her shudder. Heights. Not her favorite that's for certain. But Rex mentioned she looked like she could use it and she sighed, looking down at her hands. Yeah. She probably did look like it. "I...yes. I probably do." she said with a small but sad smile. Of course, Rex guessed it. Right away. If only she could be as smart as her. Her brows furrowed and she glanced back over at her. "Y-yeah...he uhm....he...broke things off...because I'm an Outlander and he just...he just can't deal with me." Tears rose again in her eyes to say it. the Penumbra

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? Phoebe looked concerned as Rex said that she had the same issue. She had been broken up with? She...had been with someone to be broken up with? But her questions were stilled as Rexanna continued to speak. Ah. The Outlander thing. Her eyes fell to the ground with a frown. She asked if he was following Rory's example and she nodded with a sniffle, rubbing her eyes. "That's just it though...he was never like this before. He didn't think there was any reason to act like we were any different." she said with a frown, looking back over at Rex. The woman might be physically smaller than her but she seemed like a giant with her strength of personality. "But he chimed in when Rory yelled, saying Outlanders are all disrespectful and dumb...he didn't realize I had shown up and I called him out on it...and he just got more mad." Her lips pressed together, holding back tears for a moment. "If I just kept my mouth shut maybe he wouldn't have stopped wanting me." she said quietly. the Penumbra

Phoebe sighed and looked at the ground between her feet. She supposed it was true. It was hardly the first time she had seen or experienced tension between herself and Naturals. It had just never been so…palpable. She had hoped it would dissipate with time but it was just getting worse. She glanced back over at her friend and her eyes widened in horror. ”Oh my goodness, Rex!!” she said in alarm, eyes trained on the bruise. ”What happened to you? Are you okay? Did one of them attack you??” she said worriedly, pointing to the mark at her neck. Had things really gotten that bad already?! Were they really attacking harmless and defenseless people like Rexanna? Was she next? But soon enough Rexanna’s ire was turned on her. Well…not on her but around her. She bit her lip at the question, shrugging a bit sheepishly. ”I-I don’t know. I…it’s hard because…I think I love him…” she mumbled, looking away pitifully. She had never said it out loud. She had hardly thought it to herself. But…her heart hurt so terribly that she could only conclude that was why his rejection made her feel as she did. And as far as things coming back to bite her later? Well…she had said how she felt this time and it had bit her immediately. It didn’t seem she could win either way. But saying there was someone better out there for her hit a raw nerve even Phoebe hadn’t fully realized was there. ”You know, everyone always says that. There is someone one there for you…where. Where are they?” she said, her cheeks puffing up a bit as she became decidedly irritated. ”We are in a fishbowl with the same smallish group of people every day! Whoever this magical someone is shouldn’t be that hard to find! And now, now its even less likely because I just so happen to be an Outlander and they all hate me!” she huffed, hands balling into fists at her sides. ”I am starting to think people just say that because accepting the reality that there just isn’t some magical someone out there just waiting to be found is too painful to admit! But as she did admit it she deflated, cheeks and all, shrinking in on herself as she looked at the ground with teary eyes. Maybe...that was just it. Maybe some people had a special person for them...and she just wasn't one of those people. Suddenly it all seemed so clear, and she felt foolish for chasing what she wasn't intended to have. She wasn't losing Emmett, because she was never intended to have him. After a moment she spoke again, much more quietly. ”I’m sorry, I shouldn’t yell at you like that.” ”Yeah…he is a child.” she mumbled in agreeance. the Penumbra

Phoebe stared at Rexanna like she lost her mind – because frankly, it sounded like she had. She asked an ascended to bite her? Why? Especially so hard that it looked like that after (she was not about to judge a kink but that looked like way more than a kink)?? But Rex had moved the subject back to her before she could ask, and the blonde looked at her feet again. She was obviously being chastised but at least she wasn’t being yelled at. Her brow furrowed and she glanced over at Rex curiously – a queen? – but the topic was better left to another time. And then the topic seemed to quickly spiral into tales of Rexanna’s own love woes and Phoebe looked over at her sadly. ”Is…is it the ascended you asked to bite you?” she asked, thinking that certainly the two had to coincide, even if she still didn’t understand the reason for it. But as it stood, Phoebe wasn’t ready yet to admit that perhaps there was someone else. Even if the bubble came down, even if more people showed up…maybe she was wantable but not enough to be relationship wantable. ”You’re right. Who’s to say all of that…but who’s to say that any of it will happen either?” she said, looking back at Rex sadly. There was uncertainty there, it was an unknown. ”It would just…I just…I wish I had one thing I knew wasn’t uncertain.” she said quietly. She had thought that was Emmett and she had been wrong. He was just another uncertainty, and Rex talking about him didn’t make that any better. the Penumbra

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? She saw the look that came over her friend, the look in her eyes, the curve of her lips…and despite her own sadness she couldn’t help but smile a little. At least someone was happy and finding love here, even if it wasn’t her; that alone was worth cherishing. Phoebe listened quietly as Rex rambled, managing to laugh a little when she noted it herself. ”It’s okay to ramble, I’ve rambled at you plenty of times.” Meaning almost every time she saw her. Apparently she just had the sort of personality that made her feel comfortable opening up. ”I’m really glad you’re happy, Rex. You deserve it.” she said in earnest with a small smile. She tried to apologize and the blonde just shook her head. She wasn’t upset with her and she knew Rex had the best of intentions. And…maybe she needed to hear it. ”You didn’t yell at me.” she said with a sad laugh. That’s really all that would have set her off; being yelled at. A firm tone and talking to she could handle any day. She willingly let herself be pulled into a hug, suddenly feeling waterworks building up again as she hugged her. A few sniffles in quick succession would give away that she was crying. ”I hope you’re right…” she said quietly, her cheek pressed against Rexanna’s shoulder. After a moment, her curiosity got the better of her. ”Why did you want him to bite you?” the Penumbra

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? Phoebe appreciated the comfort and clung to her almost desperately. The height difference didn’t matter terribly much, she was very used to being taller that most female friends anyways…and some male ones on occasion. She didn’t cry for long though, trying to put aside her sad emotions. Rexanna was in a good place after all, and it wasn’t fair to drag her down. The idea that being bitten like that could be pleasant was mind-boggling to the blonde. Biting hurt didn’t it? The mark it left sure made it look like that. But her brow did furrow a bit. She wasn’t sure who Archebold was, but it didn’t sound like anyone she wanted to meet…or whoever it was Rex was now seeing. ”He didn’t…do that without your permission…did he?” she asked in concern, not sure if that would qualify as an assault or rape…or would it be both? But if it bothered Rex she moved on from it quickly enough and the next description of what it felt like had Phoebe’s entire face turning beet red. ”O-o-oh!” she stuttered, freezing in place in total shock. It felt like that? And…good grief what a description! U-uh….” she was struggling to find something to say now, feeling horribly awkward. ”Y-you know you haven’t…uhm…told me what ah…what Mr. Bitey’s name is…” | ||||||
