(Can you feel it? The tension, in the air?)
(Lol, why do I keep thinking "Get a room, you two!")
Sadie blinks. "You do not want to know my story. Trust me on this."
Her gaze had wandered, and now that she was paying attention she realized that the shirt had smelled like him. She turns red slightly and looks off to the side.
(Oh my gosh yes! I love it too because this is stretching me. I don't normally write the guy's side of the romance)
(this is turning into my favorite rp)
(seriously. I'd be down for some smut at so point later in this story, they work so well together, and we write so well together)
Her face had turned red.
Red.
Elijah wasn't the type to overthink but suddenly he couldn't seem to help himself. He wondered if she thought he was unattractive. Or maybe the red face was good?
Or was it bad if it was good? Why had they come here again?
The answer knocked at his bones, nearly breaking him. Charli. God, Elijah. Snap out of it.
But when he looked at Sadie, the girl who was so determined to think that he didn't want to know her… "God, Sadie. I'd like to kill whoever made you think that you aren't worth knowing." He ran his fingers through his hair and let his eyes roam the cave, which echoed with his voice. "Trust me. I want to know." He looked back towards her.
(Yeah, I write female characters a lot. But I don't actually know what the hell I'm really doing, I just base it off of the female characters I've read about, lol.)
(Same, lmao.)
(Yeah. . . nothing too graphic though, lol.)
Sadie gathers herself, and lets her eyes float back up to Elijah's face. No. Not for you. We're here to save his girl, not for us.
"If I were to tell you, you'd have to swear on the bones of the girl we're here to save that you won't say 'I'm sorry' or any of that other stuff. Because then I'd have to say 'It's okay' when it really isn't. And then I'd start crying." she says, looking at Elijah head on.
(lol I'm basing this all off books and stuff Jacob has said about emotions lol)
:)
(seriously, fr. I wouldn't know how to write graphic lol, i'm stupid sheltered)
Elijah tried his best not to grin at the take no crap look in her eye, and winced at the pain in her eyes.
"I promise."
He meant it.
(I'm basing most of this off of what flies through my head in the moment. It's fun, but sometimes it bites me later.)
(I kinda could, but I know that there are kids here that are younger than 13, so. . . shrugs)
Sadie nods shakily, and then starts explaining in a surprisingly steady voice: how she was an experiment, grown in a lab and sent off into a brutal war at a young age. How her little sister was killed by the man-monster Roland, after Sadie refused to kill any more people. How Roland had beaten and tortured her to an inch of her life. How she'd bee assaulted and raped by Roland and various scientists and other people there. The ammount of lies, manipulation, deception and gaslighting she'd been subjected to in order to get her to do what Roland wants. By the time she finishes her tale, her eyes are unfocused and strangely bright.
"And that is my story." she murmurs.
( I appreciate that to no end lol)
(I thought all smut had to go into pms? fr? oh my gosh we r training the next gen lol, poor kids)
Elijah couldn't see straight, he couldn't think. He was so angry; how dare they? How dare they? How dare this Roland treat her like that, make her question her worth? He watched as she shook slightly in front of him, and suddenly, for the first time in months, Charli completely fled his mind. He could only think of Sadie and how brave she was. He took a step towards her but stopped, realizing she would only tense up.
"Sadie.." His voice cracked. He tried again, speaking around the lump in his throat. "Sadie, would it be alright if I gave you a hug?"
(Yeah, me too, lol)
(It does, I think, if it's too smutty, lol. And yes, we really are, aren't we?)
Sadie realizes she's shaking, and breathes deeply, trying to dispel all the negative thoughts, all the self-doubt, all the anger, the sadness, the grief.
She looks close to tears now herself, and simply holds out her arms, inviting Elijah to hug her.
(lol)
(Idk, we can see how this goes. I love this rp so much lol Yes, and now I'm nervous that i'll set a bad example lol)
Elijah wraps her arms around her tightly, pulling her thin frame against his. She smelt of rain and saltwater and lavender. He tucked her head and whispered the very thing he'd been longing to say to Charli for months. He'd sworn there was no one else he'd take this for, but as he stood there, her chest against his, her heartbeat beating pain and his beating grief, he knew somewhere deep inside him that these words had never really been meant for Charli.
"Give it to me." Her chin tilted up and he stared down into her big-expressive eyes. Some sort of primal instinct rose inside him and his entire self begged to kiss her, but he held back, both knowing she'd bolt and feeling a lingering loyalty to the girl he'd come here for. His voice came out husky. "Your pain? Give me all of it, or at least the parts you can't carry by yourself. I'll hold onto it as long as you need me to."
(Yeah. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Kids'll find out what we're talking about anyways, so. . . shrugs and grins)
Sadie folds like a tissue, stifling sobs and half-succeeding, her mind and heart racing with Elijah's. She feels the sobs building up in Elijah's chest too, and that only weakens her more.
She jerks back, and seeing the look in Elijah's eyes, she nearly breaks. "I- I can't. I won't do that to you. Never. It- it's not right for me to put my pain on others when I can't handle it."
She shakes her head. "I promised myself never to burden anybody with my problems."
(oh to be innocent once more… sighs and considers. nah.)
Elijah catches Sadie as she crumples and they fall in a heap on the cave floor. His heart breaks and he pulls her against him, praying for enough strength to be strong enough for them both. "Sadie, I want it. It's not a burden. Give me the parts you can't carry right now. I'll hold on to it and then once you feel a bit stronger and have made room, I'll give it back."
He ran his fingers along her spine, the same move his mother used to use when he'd needed comfort and protection. "It's okay. You're safe here. I won't let anyone hurt you ever again. I promise."
A small voice twisted inside his thoughts. Remember what happened the last time you made that promise?? Charli hurt herself.
That won't happen this time, he countered.
It won't.
(Indeed. . . Grins We have Sex Ed for a reason, you know. [Sorry if that's a little forward, but. . . shrugs Just being blunt here, lol])
Sadie turns slightly red when Elijah catches her. "Sorry. . ."
"No! I can't. I won't. Not after-" she says, her voice breaking. "Not again. Never again."
Her mind slowly calms, and she slowly untenses, the cold lethargy of sadness leaving her as she gets used to being touched kindly again.
She shivers slightly as Elijah trails his fingers along her spine, enjoying just sitting there with another human that isn't trying to hurt her. "How can you promise that when we're literally going to hell?"
(hey, hey, hey, I only just had my first make out two weeks ago, I'm a tad behind lol)
Elijah shifts so he can see her entire face as he speaks. His heart is beating out of his chest and he prays she can't hear it.
"I'd rather face anything hell might throw at me than let another person take advantage of you. You're so fucking brave, but I don't want you to have to be anymore." He slid his gaze away trying to focus on anything besides the way her lips were parted slightly open and her breath was unsteady.
"I tell you what. Let's go to hell tomorrow. Let's stay here today." He watches as her eyes begin to protest. "Sadie. Let me take care of you.."
(I know, I know. I grin)
Sadie feels Elijah's heartbeat rather than hears it, and has to suppress a smile. Not for you, Sadie.
But her heart was saying otherwise. I just met him.
But her heart was adamant. Okay, fine. Let's give my brain some time, Jesus.
"Really?" she gasps, surprised by how forward his words were.
She sighs, her prostests cut off.
"Fine." she murmurs, curling up against Elijah.
(I legit started shaking so bad when he and I started getting into it (tho we decide a long time ago to wait for marriage; we were just kissing) i couldn't even stand so he just picked me up and asked if I was okay, and If I wanted to stop and I was like heck no. Best day of my life.)
(Wait. I think you used my name instead of Sadie's lol)
As she fell back against him, he couldn't hold it back anymore, he had to try. His heart whispered a faint Charli.. but the words came tumbling from him by themselves. "Sadie?"
(Lol, perfect. Absolutely perfect.)
(I turn bright red. Sorry-)
Sadie hums in response, tired. "Mm-hmm?"
(It was. Grins.)
(Laughs. Don't be. You're good.)
Elijah's eyes wander across Sadie and he holds her close. "Could I… Could I kiss you? Just kiss, I swear, I'll never treat you like that." He can't seem to meet her gaze, and he can feel the sweat on the inside of his wrists. "But I'd like to kiss you so I'd know that once in your life you were treated the way you deserve. With respect." He raised his green eyes to hers, awaiting her response. She made him so nervous.
(I only turn redder)
(Honest to god, when I realized what I did, I was just like "Damn it." and I felt my ears and face get red.)
Sadie chuckles. "Sir. . ."
She shifts so that she's facing Elijah, and leans in, lightly pressing her lips against his.
(Haha, don't tell me Sadie is based on me too lol)
(I mean Elijah is you, my dad, and Jacob sooooo makes sense)
Sadie's lips are against his before Elijah could register them. His fingers moved automatically to the back of her head and back, entangling one hand in her hair and the other pressing lightly against the small of her back. He felt her tug slightly on his bottom lip and the sweet taste of her mouth was all that his mind– and other places of "thought"– could focus on. He pulled away after a moment, taking his time opening his eyes. He didn't want to push her or startle her like a bird flying off at a loud noise, and if he continued to feel her lips move against his much longer, he'd lose all self-control. His eyes roamed her face, however, as she caught her breath.
(Coughs Um- I plead the 5th, lol.)
(Really? I thought I recognized the humour.)
Sadie fraws back after a bit, laughing slightly. "Good night."
She curls up next to him again, her head on Elijah's chest, right over his heart. She falls asleep quicker and easier than she ever had.
(Blushes. Stopppp makinggg me blushhh. I swear.)
(You should lol, it is your's)
"Good night." He pulled off his shirt once more, tucking it around her like a blanket as best he could. He pushed away guilty thoughts of Charli, leaning down instead to kiss Sadie's forehead. He leaned back and watches as the sun sets. At dark, he wraps his legs and arms around the woman he is cradling and tucks himself around her like a cacoon. His eyes close and for the first time in months, there are no nightmeres.
(Nah. It's fun, and besides, that's how I know you know I'm being sincere: whenever you blush like that.)
(Just responds to snark with more snark XD I love it.)
(I- GAH! WHY ARE THESE TWO SO GAHD DAMN CUUUUUTE?!)
Sadie curls up tighter in the nest of Elijah, unconsciously.
The next morning, she wakes up with a delicious sense of warmth. Who. . .?
She remembers last night, and laughs silently to herself. We really did that, didn't we?
She stays right where she is, though, feeling Elijah's heartbeat and humming softly.
(Haha, when I blush I know you messing and i roll my eyes and love it)
(exactly winks)
(I KNOW! I KNOW. THEY SO DAMN PERFECT AND FLAWED.)
Elijah's arms were stiff and his neck ached when he awoke, but he was happier than he'd been in ages. His heart was overwhelmed and he didn't want to move– didn't want to breathe— for fear of scaring her. He was happy and he didn't want to open his eyes and find that the dream was over. Smiling, he slide his hand over hers and made small circles on her palm. He nestled his face into the top of her hair and inhaled her scent. "Good morning, love."
(I grin but stay silent)
(Yeah. . . the bestest people ever.)
Sadie chuckles. "Getting a little brave there, aren't we?"
But she lets Elijah trace his circles on her palm, chuckling. She runs a finger along his spine, thinking He's thin. He needs more food.
Slowly, she uncurls herself from Elijah, groaning as she does so. Her muscles were stiff and she was bone-weary. And she was pretty sure she was getting period cramps.
"C'mon, get up." she laughs.
(I love Sadie so much; she's one of your best)
Elijah laughs, shivering as her slender hand finds the small of his back. He breathes in sharply, trying his best not to think about the way Charli's hands used to find his shoulders. He didn't want to think about Charli. For the first time, he felt he could for someone that wasn't Charli, felt he could fall for this girl in front of him, felt that he already had.
She stood and grimaced. He could hear her stomach rumble and he promised himself they'd find food soon. "Fine, fine," he grumbled, smiling and taking her hand. He interlaced her fingers with his and didn't let go.
(Bows Thank you. Trauma only made her better, not worse. Unlike with some of the others. Shudders We don't talk about them. Not usually, at least.)
Sadie laughs when Elijah shivers. "Cold hands, or ticklish?"
She sighs when her stomach rumbles. "I suppose we should find our way to Hell, huh? Before we starve, that is. Or get killed."
She squeezes Elijah's hand reassuringly, then steps out of the cave into the wan light of mid-morning. Or at least, what passed for mid-morning in this gods forsaken place.
My school blocked this site.
I’m not gonna be on as much but I’m gonna find an easier way for us to continue
Ah, damn. My school hasn't, lol. (Yet. I'm always cautious, though.)
(Yepppp, I might be able to get them to unblock it tho, idk)
(Wait, so what are you on right now??? The school takes your phone, doesn't it?)
(iPad 😂 but I won’t be able to much like this)
