"Never like this though.", she murmured back, laying her head on his chest. "I always thought you were…. me going insane. All in my head." Looping her arms around his lower back, she exhaled slowly. "Thank god you're not."
There are voices in our heads rp (Closed)
"Nope.." Tyler smiled. "Now it's just me going insane for my own reasons." He hugged her tight. "I'm glad you're here.."
"I think we're both a little insane…. and I'm glad you're here too." She could feel his heartbeat again, in sync with hers. It was then that she realized that kissing her must be awful. She had (soft-ish) stone lips. Oh god he must hate it. Something inside her shrivelled up.
"Hey.." He looked at her, worried, feeling her despair. "What's wrong?"
Macha closed her eyes, keeping her head on his chest. “Touching me must be so… uncomfortable for you. I’m sorry.”, she replied quietly, using his heartbeat to anchor her mind.
"Of course it's not. I love you for who you are." He kissed her softly again, feeling a rush of affection for her.
Macha felt his affection for her mingling with her affection for him. “I love you too.”, she whispered back, giving him a light squeeze.
Tyler smiled and kissed her again, running his hands through her hair.
(Morning!)
Macha would’ve stayed there forever, pressed against him with his arms around her, but her phone buzzed in her pocket. Apologizing to Tyler, she pulled away from his warm embrace and opened her texts. It was a message from her dad.
Mach, I’m not going to be home until after midnight today, sorry
She was about to reply, when she remembered the attack, and the terror of walking back home and leading them to her house momentarily left her frozen to the spot. Tentatively, she glanced back at Tyler. “Tyler? Could I— could I spend the night?” She shrank back in on herself. “I don’t want to— I’m afraid to walk home.”
“Of course. Everything will be okay. l’ll take care of it.” He hugged her briefly before standing up and limping over to the door. “There’s food in the kitchen, the bathroom is second door to the left. Do not come outside. Promise me you won’t.”
(Morning.how are you?)
(Good, you?)
Macha nodded, scratching at the nape of her neck. “I won’t.”, she reassured him quietly. “Thank you.”
(Meh I’m okay)
“No problem. Lock the door.” He slipped out the door quietly and closed it behind him, hearing the click of a gun next to him. He stayed perfectly calm and walked forward. “Don’t touch her.” He said, looking at the man with the gun as they took his arms and tied them behind his back. “As long as you don’t put up a fight.” The man replied as they shoved Tyler into the car and got into the front seat. I love you Macha. But this is for the best. If I don’t do this they’ll be chasing us for the rest of our lives. I love you so much.. He felt tears falling down his face as the car drove away.
(Aw Sorry ):
(Nononononono TYLER NO)
(😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)
Macha heard him too late. “No!” She ran to the door and flung it open, only to see a car turning the corner. “Tyler!” It came out half like a sob, half like a scream. He was gone. Tyler was gone. Tyler. Come back. Goddammit Tyler come back. Please. Tears were streaming down her face, blurring her vision. She just ran. Ran after the car, even though she knew it was futile. “Tyler!” Her voice broke.
Something crashed into the back of her head, knocking her to the ground. The last thing she saw was a looming black silhouette. Tyler.
(To clarify, the silhouette was onekf the men. I don’t think he’s going to capture her, just threaten her. Idk yet)
(AHAHHAA i love plot twists)
(especially sad ones)
Tyler felt a growl build up inside him as he heard Macha and suddenly the Demon burst out of him. He didn't try to stop it and it overtook him, snarling and struggling against the ropes tied around his hands and feet. His eyes glowed red and his teeth became sharp and animal like.
(I’m like on the edge of my seat TYYYLLLEEEEERRRR)
Macha came to a few seconds later, her arms bound tightly. It took her a moment to realize that she wasn’t tied up, but being held tightly by a man. She struggled and tried to cry out, but he clapped a hand over her mouth. “Shut up and listen. I’m not going to take you. I just want information.” His voice sent a chill down her spine, but she complied, terror pumping through her veins. “What do you know about Endora Strix?” Macha’s whole body went tense. Her mother. The man removed his hand from her mouth. “You should know, you killed her.” She hadn’t even realized it until the words came out of her mouth. The man wrapped one hand around her neck and squeezed, making her splitter and gasp for breath. “She was insane. She killed her self.” Forcing her body to go slack, Macha spat back. “And who’s fault was that?” She braved herself for impact, and a second later the man slammed her into a lamp post. “Answer. The. Question.” Macha’s head spun. “She died at age 20. That’s it.”, she lied, praying that he didn’t know he was currently threatening her daughter. The man paused, letting go of her with one hand to rummage his pocket for something, probably a gun. That’s when Macha took the opportunity to elbow him in the stomach, hard, and run.
A click sounded behind her. The bullet entered her back and lodged in her stomach.
(whoo torturing characters is fun)
(ONGNNGGHEHFYFOHMYFUCKINGGODJKFDSFSJK)
Tyler felt the bullet in Macha's back, her pain, it was too much. He felt himself flicker between himself and the Demon and cried out in pain. "MACH-" His yell was interrupted by a snarl from the Demon and he jerked his head back, hitting it on the back of the car. The men in the front drove faster and swerved into a drive way, a large concrete building getting closer. They stopped the car and pulled the growling Tyler out, pushing him inside the door and down a long hallway where a set of stairs sat leading down was. They shoved him down the stairs and closed and locked the door behind him as he fell.
(I feel so powerful muahahahaha)
Macha’s world was made of pain. She drifted through unconsciousness, she could feel the demon in Tyler roaring, was acutely award of the bullet stuck in her stomach, and it felt as if her insides were on fire. Flashes of a barren cell went through her mind. Tyler’s cell, she realized, and something inside her cracked.
She woke up to a blade being pressed against her stomach.
(ooohoho just you wait0
Tyler cried out as he fell down the stairs, crashing to the bottom and growling. He felt pain shoot up his body and his leg burned. He jumped on all fours and snarled, climbing up the stairs and slamming against of the door. It was metal, he didn't make a dent. Tyler retreated back into the dark cell and curled up in the corner, his real self still hiding beneath the demon, hopeless.
(Noooooooooooooo)
Bright white lights filled her vision. She was lying some sort of thin mattress. People in white moved around above her. Anxious whispers filled the room. Macha struggled to sit up, struggled to scream as a knife dig into her stomach. “She’s awake!”, someone yelled, panicked. “Oh my god she’s awake put her back on the anesthetic now.” Something was plunged into her arm, and everything went black again.
(She’s being given surgery to remove the bullets. I have no idea how surgery works)
(yyeeyeyee)
Tyler felt the demon take control of his movement. Insane…you're going insane.. Tyler thought, the demon snarling and clawing at his face.
Insane… you’re going insane… Macha dreamed of blood and black eyes and feathers spiralling to the ground. She dreamed of demons crawling out of the ground and pulling her back down with them, of being burned alive and kisses that killed. Tyler…
She woke up with a jolt, eyes flying open. It took a moment for her disoriented brain to figure out where she was. She was in a stark white hospital room. Her stomach felt like it was on fire. Tyler was nowhere to be seen.
She sat up immediately, heart pounding, but strong arms caught her. “Mach, calm down. You’re okay, you’re— you’re in the hospital.” Her head whirled around. Her father was sitting in a chair by her bed, dark circles under his eyes. He looked as if he’d aged ten years. “You’re okay.”
“Wha—what happened??” Macha’s wings had disappeared at some point, she no longer felt the pain of her mangled wing. Her father took a deep breath. “You were shot, Mach. You were shot.” It took a moment for it to sink in. “That’s— not possible.” She yanked up her shirt up, felt around her back, and sure enough, there was a perfectly round, smooth hole in her stone skin. It was plugged by some sort of metal. Macha felt sick. She’d been shot in a place other than her wings only once before, and the bullet had glanced off her stone skin. The doctor’s had told her that it couldn’t be penetrated. But it had been. The people who took Tyler had a way to hurt her.
Tyler. Oh my god Tyler. “Tyler. He was with me— where—“ She was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. A man in white doctor’s uniform walked in, and Macha’s eyes widened when she saw his face. It was the man who had shot her.
(Is this okay?)
(holyshit of course that was amazing)
Tyler shivered slightly in the cold of the cell. It was dark and he could hardly even see the stairs he had been pushed down. He felt the Demon calming down and retreating to the back of his mind. He could think straight again. Macha? Macha can you hear me?.. He asked hopefully, leaned back against the wall and sighing in despair.
(Aw thank you! My friend loves your new username [the hardcore TØP fan) btw)
Fear, pure and undiluted fear, mingled with the burning pain in her back and stomach. OhmygodTylerohmygodohmygod. The doctor walked closer, his face a mask of kind concern. Macha flattened herself against the wall, mind racing. Holy shit Tyler oh my god where are you are you okay?????
(lol thx. Love yours too xD)
Oh thank god..what happened? Where are you? Did you go outside? He asked frantically, not answering her questions.
(Lol thanks)
There was a man. He shot me. I’m at the hospital. He’s the doctor who just walked in. Where are you???? Are you okay??? “Macha.”, the doctor said kindly. “How are you recovering?”
Macha I told you not to go outside! Get out of the hospital as soon as you can. He said, standing up and walking around a bit.
“I hope you’re feeling better,” the ‘doctor’ said when she didn’t answer, “Unfortunately you’ll have to stay with us for the next few months, you almost died and we’re still not sure what the consequences of that will be what with your… stone skin.” Macha’s heart stopped. That might be an issue., she told Tyler. And I wouldn’t have gone outside if you hadn’t given yourself up. You still haven’t answered me, are you okay??
