"deadly. unsure how many of us are still around, but there's meant to be one per century of the both of us."

cont. from here because the previous post was made by the old editor. || @hereticdiaries

          The  unease  she’d  felt  from  the  moment  she  met  Elijah’s  distraction  shifted  into  offence.  How  dare  this  woman  who  knew  nothing  about  her  other  than  the  baseline  facts —

❝ You’re  bold  for  someone  who’s  been  in  this  world  for  about  two  minutes. ❞  

Didn’t  she  know  that  Hayley  could  easily  inflict  agony  and  death  on  her  with  a  single  bite ?  Did  she  think  that  she  was  safe  just  because  she  spent  some  time  getting  close  with  Elijah ?  Didn’t  she  understand  —  

A steadying  breath  was  took,  the  heightened  intensity  of  her  emotions  calming  slightly  with  it.  Hayley  plastered  a  smile on,  fake  and  obviously  so.  ❝ Stressful  kind  of  comes  with  this  life.  I’m  sure  you’ll  realize  soon  enough  things  are  rarely  so  simple  as  your  human  life  must’ve  been. ❞ Especially  if  she  intended  to  hang  around  Elijah.

@touchedbydestiny​ (diana) hit the heart for a starter

“So, you’re also a member of the family?” Kol’s eyebrows knitted together as he assessed the witch, not sure how to react to her existence, let alone her new presence in his life. He had come because of a family emergency, something far more serious than the usual influx of vengeful supernatural beings, but the last thing he had expected was to be introduced to yet another long lost family witch; the universe clearly thought that one wasn’t enough for Kol to wrap his head around.

"brașov. two centuries before your mother had you."

        “what circle of dante’s inferno did you crawl out of?”

It was all too familiar -- Diana's feelings of not belonging, of the yearning for a family. But Hayley knew the other girl belonged more than she did. She was only Hope's mother, something that just ... came along in a package deal and not someone that anyone particularly loved. Diana was the Mikaelsons' cousin, Freya's sister in the ways that Rebekah wasn't. It was complicated, yes, but she belonged here.

"It's not selfish to stick around, you're not being selfish for wanting to be with your family -- because they are your family too, you know," Hayley told her, quiet and softer than she had even intended. But the other girl just looked so lost she couldn't help it. "And I don't think leaving would help anyone, especially Freya. Yeah, she's glad to finally meet her siblings, but you are her sister -- you are the sister she's had all these years. You really think that she cares more about them than she does you?"

She didn't make a promise not to tell, though she would keep Diana's secret anyway, for as long as necessary. She had learned long ago never to swear vows so easily, not if she really intended to keep them and she didn't really want to betray Diana.

@fightforsomethingbetter​ liked the starter call <3

       “i never knew what true family looks like. i only knew what i grew up with: my mother and freya. they’ve been the only family i had, the only constant that i had. freya loves me as i love her, i still see her as my sister and i want the best for her. i’m happy that she’s finally happy and loved by her true family. one can see that their bond is incomparably strong and deep.” despite still being intimidated by her cousins, she can see their love for each other and she can see that freya is happy. that’s all diana wished for because freya deserved to be loved and happy.

      “i feel selfish for staying around, for reminding her of the past. i know she’s worried about me and i don’t want to drag her down. perhaps … perhaps leaving is the best option.” diana mumbled and played with the charm of her bracelet before looking at hayley.

      “you need to promise me that you won’t tell her or anyone else.”
