nick takes the flask (her fingers brush his, and it's electric, it's everything). "i know, right? gonna call the cops on me?" he takes a sip from the flask, warm and burning down his throat. "and hey, i never claimed to be a saint."
but it's never just nice things with them, witch-boy and wildfire-girl. maybe that's not how they're built. he wants it to be all prom nights: maybe it will be, now that the massacre's done. things are good now, can't she just believe that? can't he?
he watches the embers burn at the end of her cigarette, anything to avoid meeting her eyes. why did you do it? she asks, and he considers playing dumb. thinks better of it. she's not going to give up that easily. and besides, this might be the only chance he ever gets. to explain, as best he can.
"i didn't think they'd believe us." he says it in a rush, like a real admission -- nick goode has always been a terrific liar. even in a family full of them. "i got scared. i was thinking about the future -- both of our futures. whatever happened happened, okay, and it was scary, and fucked up, and awful, but come on. do you want it to define you forever? even if it was really sarah fier" and he lowers his voice, because one of the first things that a witch learns is that names have power, especially this deep in the woods. "it's not like we could do anything about it. it's not like the cops could do anything about it, either. we don't have any proof." he exhales. "i'm sorry, ziggy. it seemed like the right thing to do."

you'll steal us a car, she sneers, like she doesn't believe it. little does he know he's done worse things. for the town. for her. it's understandable, nick supposes. she only knows the good parts, the poster child. she'd seen something else at camp, something closer to who he is, less who he pretends to be. she'd seen it and she hadn't run. is that why he's here, in the forest and the dark?
she's stopped looking like she's going to hit him again, so nick releases her wrists. only now does he notice her proximity in that teenage boy way, blushing and rubbing one hand awkwardly down the back of his neck. steps back, letting there be space between them. "yeah?" and it comes out too much like a question, so nick repeats, "yeah, i will. i'm not just a pretty face, you know. i can do crimes." throws a teasing grin her way -- his best attempt at being charming. the important thing is that she's caving -- he's her pain in the ass, as far as nick's concerned. he pulls the keys to his dad's car (the shiny red midlife crisis one, not the cop cruiser) from his pocket, dangles them. "i think the words you're looking for are, thank you, nick."
he walks ahead then, towards the edge of the woods where he'd parked, trusting her to follow. well. mostly. (even orpheus looked back.) "coming, berman? don't tell me you're all talk."

the steps through the tunnels are foreign to nick goode -- one day, his father had assured him, it would all be easy and familiar. nick hopes that day never comes. he stumbles slightly, catches himself with a rough hand against sharp stone, skinning his palm, but no blood is skilled, and no unholy ghost of his father rises to call him a worthless son.
so...that’s something.
the voice that does come from the shadows isn’t immediately recognizable either, but nick’s read his history: both the school version, and the version his father had told him in the tunnels, the real version, festering and betrayed. the entire goode family tree grown from this one rotten root. “solomon?” he asks, and then, feeling stupid, feeling like a little boy talking to himself in a cave full of shadows, “what if i fuck it up?”

he’s startled to a stop, chasing her -- she’s huddled against one of this place’s broken shrines, like a true object of worship, while he’d tried to herd her toward the hatch. does she not realize -- does she not understand? the exhaustion in ziggy’s voice tears pieces of out of nick that he didn’t realize he had left to lose. “fucking -- i’m not fucking with you, ziggy.” it’s like she doesn’t see how much pain this causes him, having to watch her stare at him with those blank, horrified eyes when he kills the others, to protect her, every time. “i’m trying to save you. why won’t you just listen to me? i’m trying to help.” just like he was trying to help her in ‘78, trying to get her onto that damn bus while he risked his own life to find cindy. just like he brought her back to life.
another survivor rasps her last by the still-closed gate, but nick’s attention is only for ziggy. “you think i enjoy this?” he gestures with the knife, at the carnage he’s wrought. “ziggy, the last thing i would ever want is to hurt you. you have to believe me.” he’s taking her hand, so small and pale, and placing the knife in it. “here. take it. just -- stop looking at me like that.” like -- haunted, scared. like he’s every monster she’s ever seen in her childhood nightmares, like he’s worse than tommy slater, like he doesn’t have GOOD REASONS for doing what he’s doing, for keeping her alive --

he stops her, and she doesn’t understand how can he. there’s a killer on their ass, and it’s kinda funny, how they seem to find each other in the same situation over and over, and in this place things seem to stat to get repetitive. cruel irony. maybe ziggy wouldn’t have talked to him at all if it weren’t for this. she can’t forgive she doesn’t forget but she has the now, this moment and maybe. she’s thankful. her brow furrows, how no one seemed to make it but the two, ah but isn’t that the way that’s it’s supposed to be. isn’t this how the story goes, how it’s supposed to follow,
he looks at her wound with a look that, ziggy doesn’t get what he’s trying to get through. doesn’t understand why he’s acting all weird. sometimes she forgets when tommy pulled her up by the hair, dragging her. how nick has had an axe land down on his leg. how he sometimes limps because of that. how nick, despite being a sunnyvaler…he was there. not a survivor. but a witness. a shitty one at that. and that has to mean something.
his touch is unfamiliar, not unwelcomed. her hand holds onto his wrist. gently, bright blue eyes search for meaning. in his words, in his actions. how is he so calm? so worried? why isn’t he helping? it’s so obvious the next pattern of action. find a generator, open the gate. give the motherfucker a run for his money. this is so reminscent of a past conversation. one she can’t let go off. “nick, what are you talki-” she gets cut off.
it’s the hatch.
eyes to eyes. eyes to hatch. the humming sound. ziggy swallows. sees red for a second. sees white. it’s terrible, how fast the mind is. how fast it adds two and two together. she feels slow. his touch suddenly red metal burning into her skin. holds his wrist pushes his hand away, panic rising from the bottom of her stomach. heart turn to ash. light to a fire, it’s him. and she wonders, so stupidly, because ziggy berman is a stupid stupid girl, who distrusts but not enough. she wonders, has it always been him? even not in this place. even back home. it sickens her, pushes him away. prays to a god she’s certain doesn’t exist that she’s fast enough, doesn’t get the chance to yell. feels it’s years before, it’s the hanging tree. hears cindy distantly, saying get ready to run. the phantom sensation of her nose bleeding. she turns. hopes it’s fast enough when she tries getting away from him.
he sees the look in her eyes, the betrayal, and although it hurts him, he knows he has to act fast. as she pushes him away and turns to run, he grabs her by the uninjured arm, drags her back against him. “ziggy, wait! please! i’m not going to hurt you!” she’s so small, it’s easy to hold her. the hatch keeps humming its awful song, black smoke spilling forth, taunting him.
“you have to understand,” nick says, and then cuts himself off. how can he ever hope to make her understand? that he’s doing all of this for both of them, so they can get out of this hellscape? that it’s always been for her, ever since he brought her back to life? that he’s not the same person that orchestrated the nightwing massacre, he’s different now, she’s changed him, he’s in love. THAT HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING.
“it’s yours, okay? the hatch. i -- i had to kill them, so that you could escape. don’t you see? if we cooperate, the entity will let us go! i’m trying to save you!” does he sound insane to her, the raving of a mad man? how much else has she figured out? does she know about the curse? does she know about nightwing? is damned sarah fier’s influence here too, trying to turn ziggy against him?
he lets her go, pushing her towards the hatch. thinks about how relieved she had been to see him, how grateful, how expectant that he was here to save her, that he was here to help. why couldn’t she believe that now? he knows he sounds pathetic, sounds weak, when he says, “please believe me, ziggy. i’m doing this for you.”

ziggy has never been particularly good at this. affection, intimacy. just letting herself in the quietness of being alone together. she grows in solitude, when no one is there, because it’s the only way she knows how. makes her a little dizzy then, when he carries on kissing her. she remembers all the times she’d wished the worst on nick goode. feels for a moment so weak and defeated. and it’s not the worst thing. it’s the man behind the television, the man she’s thought about. had wondered how his lips might’ve felt. how he being close would mean she wasn’t alone.
his touch brings about goosebumps on her skin. you’re beautiful. and she believes him. thinks for a moment that maybe nick goode had never stopped thinking about her, it’s such a childish thought, she doens’t know how she gets away with it. he moves her closer, eyes close. she’s feeling everything she hasn’t, meaningful. worthy of something, worthy of kindness. she walked out of that such a long time ago. thinks of how many times she’s let go, in fear, in anger. and now, she holds onto his neck, his back, let’s her fingers move up and run through hair that’s shorter now. she holds out of desperation, out of comfort. out of love. even if she doesn’t dare to admit it. is admitting weakness? when it’s the truth?
shadyside has never been a home to her, she’s a stranger, a strange woman, these roads, these places don’t meaning anything to her, they just tie her down. but it’s not stupid to think that maybe her home, or what’s left of it, came back. nick goode came back into her arms because maybe in some stupid way, it’s meant to be this way. and it overwhelms her, kisses feel like promises unkept, like promises renewed. like it’s okay. she let’s out a breath, head tilts, letting him kiss at her neck better. one hand let’s go of her grip on him, holds his face, his cheek, gently. “nick.” her voice still soft. unsure that this is real. how it feels like it could disappear without a trace.
“ziggy,” his voice comes out rough, but the tenderness in his tone has always belonged to her. “is this okay?” she’s holding her palm against his face, and he’s having trouble focusing on anything except for HER, HER, HER. he’s never stopped thinking about her, the weird girl from shadyside, as she’d called herself, how she’s grown up into a woman. there’s trauma etched into her face, into her scars, but she’s so beautiful, so bright that it almost hurts to look directly at her.
he knows, distantly, that he’s here to warn her. that those girls are out there somewhere, threatening his plans if his killers hadn’t killed them yet. just another situation for nick goode to swoop in and play hero. but isn’t this more important? and he doesn’t want to see the look on her face when he tells her that it’s happening again, the witch’s curse that had devastated her life and left her so traumatized. he leans into her touch instead, as if it promises oblivion from these responsibilities, legacies, the family name.
she tilts her head, allowing him access to her neck, and he rests his head there for a moment, breathes her in, before raising his head to look at her, carefully so he doesn’t jostle the soft hand against his cheek. “what do you want?” he asks softly, as though he’d never given a name or taken the sheriff’s star, as though he’s still naive and innocent and believing in love.

nick doesn’t actually remember the focus of this year’s annual holiday fundraiser for the less-fortunate ( namely, the town half an hour away from theirs ). something about raising money for school supplies, perhaps? or, no -- the roof of the shadyside old folk’s home had collapsed under snow weight, burying half a dozen residents under snow and roofing just in time for christmas. ( he’s doesn’t even think the curse had a part in that one. ) the fundraising banners say nothing about plowing old people out of the debris, so really, it’s anyone’s guess what they’re all gathered here for. nick already wrote a check for the event, keeping the charitable family name in the headlines and all that, so it hardly matters. that’s the same reason he’s here, of course. the family name that rules him.
sheila’s standing by the bar -- of course, he thinks disdainfully. she’s grown up all the way from a bitchy little girl to a bitchy adult woman, but he plasters on his best sheriff-friendly smile and moves over to her. at the very least, perhaps, he can get a drink out of this. “scotch on the rocks,” he orders, before turning to her. the friendliness does not reach polar-blue eyes, no matter his best efforts. “mrs. johnson.”

if it were another place another time ziggy would’ve pushed him off by now,, would’ve set a distance. but she can’t help feel comforted, a comfort that seems so strange and away from her reach. here no one will know no one can see. it’s then when nick holds her face that she really let’s herself look at him. a part of her doesn’t wish anyone to be here in this constant repetition of hell and trauma. for a moment consider that this is punishment. and in her mean mean soul thinks that maybe if nick wasn’t a traitor, if he had stuck with her maybe he wouldn’t be here. it seemed to her the easy route for him to take in the end, but she doesn’t linger in thinking about what isn’t relevant in this place.
it’s when he asks that the pain lights up like a swtich, a defense wound, on her upper arm, looks at him and then winces slightly. it almost doesn’t feel like anything compared to most things that she undergoes during trials. “just a graze, it’s nothing.” she shakes her head before her hand wraps around his wrist. squeezes it to ground herself.
“- are you hurt? i don’t know who’s the fucker chasing us but i don’t even want to find out…there’s gotta be a couple of people still running around, we can bail out. we just need a gen to do-” light blue eys look back at his, she’s trying not to talk too fast to get the idea across, she;s sure that time isn’t on their favor, because like hell anything in this goddamn place is in their favor. but they got each other. and that’s really what matters. grounds ziggy in a way that she could never admit.
then it’s just like any other game, she takes hold of his hand, moves away from the tree, walking, slightly crouching. “- come on, i saw the gate somewhere close.”
“ziggy, wait.” his hand in hers, does this malignant landscape feed on false hope? how much time can he waste before he has to tell her? before she has to find out? before she hates him for everything that he’s done “everyone else is dead,” the words rip from his mouth, tearing bloody, festering lies. “i -- i saw. there’s no point going back for them.”
he releases her hand only to pull her arm closer, observing the wound with a desperate man’s attempt at detachedness. it’s a knife slash, not bleeding heavily. ( he thinks of her scars. of how fucking unfair it is that she has to go through this again, as if one time being traumatized and hunted and killed wasn’t enough. nick has read psychological journals. he knows that this shit can have a lasting impact. isn’t ziggy proof of that? isn’t he, a mass murderer still clinging to an idealized childhood crush? ) and perhaps there is a sadistic part of him that wishes he hadn’t killed the possessed man so quickly.
he cups her face again, doesn’t know which one of them he’s trying to comfort. “i’m going to get you out of this. i promise.” he’s deceptively calm, the sort of calm he gets when he’s afraid. of her? for her? “ziggy, i -- i have to tell you something.“
and somewhere, next to them, the hatch creaks open, spilling forth familiar darkness and that horrible humming, and nick knows he’s out of time.

it’s a dark, it’s the woods. and any type of woods have not been kind to ziggy, ever. makes her heart beat loud and clear. the way she’s pushing through, the ruins of some far unfamiliar place decorate the ground. being chased by someone or something unnerves her. it’s not just with the once it’s happened in her life, but now she is stuck on hell. has to relive it, everytime. the worst is when the tall guy, the one with black out eyes and the knife, surpasses in height, reminds her a little too much of the milkman, knives through her body are not foreign objects. she reaches a failr large tree enough to provide with cover. one of the people on her side had gone mental. the curse not too far from home, she wonders if that something that she brought with her into this land. wouldn’t that be fucking ironic. he doesn’t know who else is here, just that things are hapenning, and fast. even more so when one turns against the other’s.
she leans heavily into the tree, breathing heavy looking over her shoulder. closes her eyes and breathes. just like one of her therapists suggested, because this kind of unuseful bullshit comes washing over when there is no hope and nothing else to loose. when she opens them there’s a hand on her shoulder. she’s about to scream out of a knee jerk reaction. there’s a hand covering her lips. chokes out the scream. it’s nick. it’s nick and her eyes widen, taken a back, not being able to be mad. for once a familar face, overwhelms her and when he let’s go. she takes in a deep breath.
she doesn’t hesitate to wrap her arms around him, holds him tighter than she ever would if she was in another situation. “-nick, holy fucking shit…what, what are you even doing here?” it’s a whisper, in fear any noise would be too loud, would make them a target.
these trials are easy and dull. nick goode isn’t used to doing his own dirty work -- luckily, even in this strange place, he doesn’t have to. perhaps it’s a gift from whatever mystical tyrant or devil runs this place, or perhaps it’s just the witchcraft in his veins, but he’s become skilled at turning these ‘survivors’ against each other, manipulating one like a puppet, and only stepping in once that one needs killing.
nothing is different in this trial -- he watches the survivor catch up to another woman and slit her throat, and nick steps out behind him and shoots him in the head. simple. easy. except he hadn’t got them all, had he?
it’s not like he wants to do this. he should be back home, protecting sunnyvale ( from what? himself? they’d never been in any danger ). but he’d struck a deal of sorts with whatever was running this place. if he was good, if he danced to its tune and killed as he was ordered, he would be taken home as if no time had ever passed. eventually.
it’s looking for other survivors that he sees ziggy, and his heart aches. she looks terrified -- of course she does. the woods, the knife. this must be bringing back memories of her death. he sheathes his own weapons and walks up to her, covering her mouth to cut off a scream. he doesn’t want her to be afraid of him.
and she’s hugging him, clutching him tightly and burying her face into his chest, and can he help it if his arms come back up to wrap around her? she smells sweet, and she has a few tiny leaves tangled in her hair. he feels deceitfully content here, even as he curses the entity for bringing her. he knows he should be angrier, and yet there is a sick part of him that’s relieved at her presence. either way, he won’t be killing her. she’s always been the exception. “ziggy,” he breathes, and the gentle relief in his voice isn’t feigned. “i didn’t know you were here too.” and then he’s pulling away to cup her face between his hands, checking her over for scratches or bloodstains. “did he get you anywhere? are you hurt?”

𝙋𝙇𝙊𝙏𝙏𝙀𝘿 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃 @revivedher
somewhere along the lines ziggy had let everything loose control. she doesn’t know exactly how she ended up here, decked out in a dress way too heavy, hair curled and make up perfectly done up. it’s taken time away so much time and distance between them to fester, and after letting him back in well…she would be lying if she said this was something she didn’t want to do. she had found someone who imperefect as he may be is someone she would marry to. which sounds stupidly idiotic when she thinks about it. but it’s been long enough for her not to want nice things. and nick was there. he has an idea of what it is like to have skeletons in your fucking closet. graveyard left behind to build something new. and it wasn’t easy. she had said no several times before, and maybe she would’ve not ever said yes if it was for anyone else that wasn’t nick.
the ceremony was beautiful. if her sister and mother were alive they would be delighted. everything is going exactly as planned, it’s overwhelming, and don’t get her wrong she is genuinely happier than she’s ever been. she’s not alone anymore. but there’s so many people, people she doesn’t know. she wants an out, some time to breathe and think and just feel without these strangers. doesn’t know if she’s alowed to and frankly she doesn’t care. she slides away, people who are busy with some other things don’t really catch her slipping away. that is until she stumbles into nick, jumps not knowing it was him at first. she smiles, almost instantly. warmness fills her heart. “ - you really need to stop sneaking up on me. ” she approaches him, taps his shoulder, the dress really not making easy for movement. she kinda has to pick it up to approach him. she extends her hand then, thinking that maybe they could get some time alone.
she stumbles into him and nick’s instinctively moving to steady her, his hands cupping her elbows. he couldn’t picture the tomboyish ziggy berman of his childhood in a wedding dress, but she looks amazing. ziggy had refused him every time he’d proposed marriage, until one day, they’d walked out of a showing of labyrinth and ziggy had turned to him and said with certainty, i’d marry you if you got me a dress like that.
he’d picked her up and spun her around, embarrassing them both, and a few months later, here they are in the goode family mansion. other than the dress, they’d both been content to let nick’s family plan the details of the wedding: a family so relieved that its firstborn son was getting married that they barely cared enough about ziggy to make snarky comments. so everything turned out white and obnoxiously expensive, and all ziggy insisted on was the dress and that nurse lane could walk her down the aisle.
( nick has been doing his best to avoid eye contact with the old woman, not out of true guilt or sympathy, but because he doesn’t want to be thinking of ruby, and by extension, the family curse, on what is meant to be the happiest day of his life. yes, he is selfish, but what can he do for the dead? it’s not like he could bring nurse lane’s daughter back even if he wanted to. still, he wonders. does nurse lane feel, even in the slightest, that she’s in the wrong place? that she’s standing over the tunnels where her daughter was condemned? it’s almost fascinating, had he nothing else to focus on. )
“never,” he replies with a smile. ziggy looks like a princess, cliche as that is, looks like carrie white at the beginning of prom in her white ruffled dress. jennifer connelly truly has nothing on her. on his wife. “you look antsy. tired of the one percent already?” he’s excited more than anything at the prospect of sneaking around with her like they’re misbehaving kids at their own wedding, and not just because he wants to peel her gloves off and leave hickeys where the dress will hide them.
