tw - fem!reader, emotional manipulation, possessive behavior, prolonged imprisonment.

“Mistress prisoner?”

There was a knock, the sound of hoofed feet shuffling against a tile floor. You shrunk into yourself, suddenly thankful you’d chosen to take such a claustrophobic linen closet to seek refuge in, that Neuvillette’s awful gowns provided so much fabric for you to bury yourself in.

“Mistress prisoner? Are you alright?”

Another knock, a round of hushed whispering. Clearly, he’d sent more than one, this time.

“Should we get a healer for you, mistress?”

You swore under your breath, burying your face in your knees. Curse your bleeding heart.

Slowly, taking pains to wipe the lingering tears from your cheeks without wrinkling the fine silk of your sleeve, you pushed yourself to your feet. He was a bastard of a man, an underhanded thief masquerading as the living embodiment of justice, but tragically, Neuvillette had caught on to the only weakness you had in this palace of unearned punishments and hollow promises. You would be able to bear it if he thought of you as a petulant child, too stubborn to accept his protection or his love, but you couldn’t bring yourself to be quite so heartless when it came to the melusines.

You pulled the door open, resting your shoulder against the frame. He’d sent three, this time – all wearing modified garde uniforms and none standing taller than your waist. They were clustered close together, but as you emerged, the centermost girl stepped forward, this one totting pastel pink skin and curling horns and cheeks you’d give anything to squeeze. “We spoke with Monsieur Neuvillette,” she started, clearly shy despite having appointed herself as the leader of their little group. When she paused, her gaze fell away from yours, dropping to her feet. “He said you wouldn’t mind if we asked why you don’t want to attend the opera with us, tonight.”  

Oh, you were going to throttle that old man.

You forced yourself to smile. No part of you wanted to be seen in public with your captor, to hear onlookers praise his kindness, his willingness to care for even the most irredeemable of criminals while knowing he wouldn’t make it past the first aria before finding some reason to pull you into some unused dressing room and abuse his authority yet again. But, explaining the length of your hatred to the creatures he showed so much fondness toward would be like trying to tell a child that their favorite candy was the source of their aching cavities. You were better off saving your breath. “Neuvillette didn’t mention that you’d be coming with us.”

“It was supposed to be a surprise.” It was the blue one, this time – with flowers dotted across her arms and legs and a tone so meek, it was all you could do not to take her into your arms and promise her that you’d go to as many operas as she could stand to attend. “He said it’d help to raise your spirits.”

You let out a soft coo, crouching down to their height. “It was a very sweet idea,” you said, fighting not to melt at the sight of their little, doe-like noses and big, star-filled eyes. “And I very much appreciate that you three would care enough to try and cheer me up. It’s only…”

You paused, clicked your tongue. Predictably, the third member of their little trio (who had yet to uncross her arms or drop her adorably pointed glare) chimed in. “What is it? We don’t have all day, y’know.”

“Well, I might not be at my best, but Monsieur Neuvillette’s been awfully lonely lately too.” Lonely – that was one way to put it. It was hard to imagine he’d even be capable of feeling anything so fundamentally human. “I’m afraid, if I’m having so much fun with all of you, he might feel a little left out. You can understand why I wouldn’t want to do that to him, can’t you?”

There was a round of nodding heads, of words of affirmation. The leader piped up first, both hands balled into fists and wide eyes bright with a resilient spark. “We won’t let Monsieur Neuvillette get lonely!”

“We won’t leave his side!”

“We’ll stick to him like glue!”

With a breath of a laugh, you pulled the little trio into your arms and press a kiss into the tops of their heads. “That’s exactly what I wanted to hear, girls. I’ll see you at the opera house tonight, and remember–“

This time, you didn’t have to fake your smile.

“Don’t let Neuvillette go a moment without your delightful company.”

pick a card– which book speaks to your soul?

You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important.

Figure collecting: Alucard and the dolls of depression

I was pretty hyped for the Alucard Nendoroid until I saw what accessories he came with…or more importantly, what he didn't come with:

- Heirloom sword - necessary, check - Alucard shield - this is clearly S4 Alucard (who finally got tired of tanking hits with his face), so check - And… a stick! … A stick?! -_- The same plain Jane stick that was used for something like 5 seconds in S2? Whyyy?

Just say no to stick : (

… Where's his depression dolls - the breakout stars of S3!? This is a LONELY man, he needs his dolls damn it! So I decided to remedy that.

** So... presenting my mini Trevor and mini Sypha dolls! **

(Yes the cake reads ALONE - yeah I went there!)

These dolls sit at about ¾" tall. I would've liked them smaller since they're out of scale with the Nendo, but even at this size they were already hard enough to make.

The heads are ¼" diameter wood beads, with nail polish eyes (for a shiny plastic button look), colored pencil details, and embroidery thread hair. The bodies are scrap fabric and embroidery thread, built on half of a box clasp (I really wanted to stuff and sew tiny bodies, but it was impossible because the fabric kept unraveling - the clasp helped provide the structure to stitch the fabric around, plus provided holes to hinge the legs off of). Arms and legs are 18 ga aluminum wire, hammered into tiny "spoons" and "ladles" (which came out more like skimmers or potato mashers).

They're nowhere near perfect but they don't need to be. After all the originals were obviously crafted from scraps as well : )

And since I've seen some cute fanart of Alucard in wolf form carrying the dolls, a bonus! This is actually about the right scale : )

(Le wolf is not Alucard, le wolf is Toriko's Terry Cloth : p Close enough?)

***

BONUS: here's my fanart take on Alucard receiving his dolls : )

[jeanvaljeancheri]

Hi! Since TSC is coming soon I've been kind of on a jerejean binge in the past few weeks so here are some of my fav jerejean fics pt2. If you haven't seen it yet and want more jerejean recs go check out the first post :)

Mon Petit Oiseau 1k

Sometimes, Jean couldn’t stand to look at Jeremy for too long. He was the ever-burning sun, blazing his way through life and dragging Jean along with him.

Jean teaching Jeremy some French that turns into soft introspection that turns into sleepy cuddles

Plus One 28k

Stabbing the invite into the cork board over his kitchen counter, Jean figured he had a little over twelve months to come up with a date for at least one of these. Even someone as inept as him could manage that...

*

Jean has a bunch of wedding invites, and no date. Jeremy has a suggestion.

what softens 26k

Like this, Jean steps into his new life.

This one is a kevin/jean/Jeremy pairing :)

Lucky Stars 50k

“Concussion. My helmet-I...” Jeremy can hear the slight slur of his own words, and tries his best to carefully speak again. “I think I'm okay.”

Jean treats him to a withering glare, unimpressed, before his expression pales slightly, and Jeremy does not have to guess as to why.

Or: Jeremy is badly injured, and finds it increasingly difficult to keep his feelings for a certain former Raven under wraps as some interesting facts come to light.

Capitulation in Time of War 3k

Jean's time in California is a constant battle against resentment, humiliation, and his annoyingly persistent new captain.

OR

5 times Jeremy made Jean feel safe and valued, and 1 time Jean had to kiss Jeremy about it.

transferable skills 11k

It’s the way Jean watches his own hands as he guides the thread through the paper, pulling the gathering tight to the spine. It’s the way Jean bends, strong and handsome, over a tiny embroidery hoop to get the details exactly right. Jeremy Knox is supposed to be spending his senior year worrying about what comes next. Instead, he’s mesmerized as he watches each stitch come to life and finds, there in between the threads, something completely unexpected.

love is stored in the cat 28k

LD: Hey do u want a cat

LD: Since you’re lonely and life sucks etc

JK: Thanks

JK: IDK

JK: What kind?

LD: Orange

Jeremy gets a cat, and then a situationship. The two are somewhat related.

Falling for the first time 2k

Jean fell first, Jeremy fell harder but who said those three magic words the first time?

--

Or jerejean's first time saying 'i love you'

the service bought and paid for 10k

jean moreau, jeremy knox, and the concept of a gift.

I'll Crawl Home To Him 2k

It’s strange, how quiet this stretch of road is. How peaceful. Walking alone through the dark, with nothing but the moon and the sea for company, Jean feels a little bit like a ghost.

That, or like the last man alive.

C'est un peu une déclaration 1k

« Les Backstreet qui ? » demande Jean, ce soir-là, et le sourire de Jude l’avertit qu’il a posé la question de trop. Ce n’est pas une habitude – Jean ne pose jamais de questions, Jean encaisse, Jean accepte, Jean serre les dents. Ce n’est pas une habitude – et c’est peut-être pour ça que Jude, avec qui il partage sa chambre depuis bientôt deux ans, sourit aussi largement

As you may have noticed, this one is for the francophones! I know not everyone will be able to read it but it's so rare for me to find good French fics that I couldn't help recommending it!

Still updating fics I keep up with

This Time, With Feeling [81k, 13/?]

One Thousand Cuts (and all the other ways to fall in love) [4k, 2/?]

end of beginning by djo, lestappen, with slight angst but the main idea is happy??

i sent this song bcs it mentions homesickness and i would love to see your interpretation on ittt💖

MY DARLING B!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I love you, and I'll tell you even if you know it. This WAS SIMPLY LOVELY TO WRITE! I did a little part two (that can be totally read separate!!) of the lestappen le Mans prompt @carronyaflowers submitted last year!!! homesickness felt so good with those characters and I loved writing it for you! I hope you like it❤️❤️

new beginning - prompt post

-

“Did you miss this?” Charles asks, sitting down on the ugly fake leather sofa in Max's motorhome, carrying his trophy with him.

It's not like Charles was uninvited to Max's motorhome, they shared more than a moment in their twenty-four hours of racing, from holding hands, sleeping on the other's shoulder in the garage, locking eyes on the podium while Carlos drank the champagne to mentally get rid of them, but seeing him in his house on wheels is so different from whatever he's used to.

Charles and Max have always been one next to the other, the predestined and the inevitable, thunder and lightning, red and blue, but they've never been that close. During their time in Formula One they were star-crossed rivals, sharing podiums, wins and championships, friendly work buddies on track. Sometimes, occasionally, Padel teammates. But never friends.

But now things have changed, and Max’s heart is beating loudly again.

They have spent so much time together, in Maranello, trying the car in the simulator, driving around the world. They see each other more often, especially since Max bought a flat in the hills of Modena. Paradoxically when they lived in the same block in Monaco they never managed to hang out, but in Modena everything is different. They are reborn at 35, with a messy divorce for Charles and a life of compromises for Max, together again.

“Yeah,” Max says, staring at where their thighs meet on the sofa.

“I missed it too…” Charles mumbles, with a small smile. “We should have done it before, you know?”

Max grins, bumping their shoulders. Charles laughs and rests his head on Max's shoulder. Max shivers a little. This is very new to him. He didn't know he could touch, or indulge openly.

“To be fair, we never did something like this, you know?” Max mumbles, wondering if he should touch Charles' hands with his or join their fingers.

“Yeah…” Charles agrees, ending Max's doubts and linking their fingers.

Max laughs under his breath surprised. His teenage self would explode. Himself of ten years prior would explode too. He's not too sure of the state of his molecules even right now.

“I know we have a season ahead of us and stuff, but… I waited twenty years to say this, so I think I don't have any patience left… I–Uhm, feel things for you, Max…” Charles mumbles not looking at him, but staring at their hands. “I never thought I'd tell you, and when you left F1 I thought I was safe enough, racing away, away from you… But one can't escape their heart. My problem with you Max is that you feel like home to me, more than even Ferrari. You gave me life Max, and I miss breathing and feeling alive, so you're the one for me, you know? I would love for you to feel the same, but I feel too much for you to keep you trapped, God knows I made this mistake too much in the past…” He continues.

The ugly clock on the wall strikes eight pm. Time has relatively lost its meaning after twenty-four hours of racing and a lifetime of denial.

“How was it? When I left,” Max asks, squeezing Charles' hand.

“I'd lie if I said I didn't like it. I won it all without you. But it wasn't like when I raced you, it wasn't like 2025 when I won by a point and nearly kissed you on the podium… I felt lonely, in a way, without you. The glory didn't taste exactly right without you…” Charles explains.

“I watched you until retirement in 2030…” Max admits. “You're right when you say we're the same. I think I love you, Charles. I fucked up my life enough, I can tell you and not be scared…”

Charles sighs, sympathetically. Being outed to the press after years of distance from the showbiz wasn't fun for Max. Charles knows how it feels to have dirty laundry aired for everyone to see.

“Then you came to Ferrari to do this thing…” Charles snickers.

“You were there… How couldn't I come home?” Max asks, looking Charles straight in the eyes.

“I missed you, fuck if I missed you, Max,” Charles whispers, resting his forehead against Max's.

“I'm right here now…” Max answers back, on Charles's lips, breathing the same air.

night shift | quest x reader

25 one-shots of christmas: part 1 author is taking a gamble and starting this at 7 pm whist,le watching 911 lone star let's see if she can finish before 12

characters/content: quest, gender neutral reader, reader works in an office, heated themes but no nsfw, reader works overtime, quest is an old man who uses emoticons

"See you later, Y/N!" your boss called, giving you a wave as he walked out, you forcing a smile that immediately dropped as soon as he left your eyeline. You let out a huff through your nose, your hands going back to clacking at your computer, trying to focus on your work and not what was supposed to be your first evening off in a while. "It's more money for you, Y/N," you thought. 'It'll be good to have for Christmas.'

You let out another breath, looking at your screen as you paused, processing your work thus far. You also thought about how your boss wasn't a bad man, but rather just very inconvenient at times. He had asked you to stay back and finish the report, you being one of the fastest workers on your team. He insisted he would've stayed and finished, but his wife finally had a free night for the first time in a while, being a first responder and all. Even though you were annoyed about using your time off, your guilty conscious would've been too much knowing you had refused a couple who didn't have much time together as it. Curse you and your decent upbringing.

As you went mindlessly about your work, your phone dinged a couple times, drawing your attention away from your work. You looked at your notifications, a small smile instantly adorning your features as you moved your work aside for the moment. It was Quest, doing what seemed to be your nightly check-ins after long periods of server silence.

Quest: hey! been a while since you were last on. you okay, angel?

Y/N: i'm okay, just doing some overtime. christmas money crunch, y'know?

Quest: yeah, i get that, overtime sucks :( but capitalism is the bane of us all, isn't it? anyway, how much longer do you think you'll be?

Y/N: a little while, i think i have to rewrite some of these drafts :/

Quest: i see... well, i'll see you in a bit, then. love you, angel <3

Y/N: love you too, honey <3

You placed your phone down to the side, cracking your knuckles and getting back to work on your reports. The way Quest said he'd see you in a bit bothered you a bit, but you paid little mind to it. You wanted to get done, get money, and get home.

A while later, the sound of your rapidly moving fingers was interrupted by a knocking on the wall, causing your head to shoot up and peer over your cubicle. You were supposed to be the only one here tonight, right? You silently prayed it was just one of the security guards that had come up to check on you. Although, the voice that came proved to be something much better.

"Angel, you in here?" Quest called, pulling his coat hood down, looking around the office, before his eyes settled on you. You immediately got up from your desk, going over to wrap your arms around his large frame, squeezing him tight. Even with the large coat, he still seemed to be freezing.

"Quest, what are you doing here?" you asked, pulling back to look at him, tilting your head as he placed a hand on the back of his neck. "A guard let me in. I guess dropping by on all our shared lunch breaks gave me an identity here, huh?" he chuckled, his arms going down to the small of your back, looking at you lovingly.

"I missed you, angel," he said, lifting you and pulling you into a kiss, your legs wrapping around his waist as he walked back over to your cubicle, pushing your papers to the side and setting you down, his hands running along your sides as you reached up to his neck, wrapping your arms around it. Pulling away for air, he went to leave soft kisses on your cheek, along your jawline, and down your neck.

"I missed you so much..." he mumbled, letting a word out through each kiss. He pulled your body flush to his own, soft hums being pulled out of your throat with each kiss and squeeze of your waist.

"Mmm... Quest?"

"Hm?"

"My reports?"

"...Right, sorry," he said, pulling back with a cough, you rubbing his cheek lovingly as you sat down at your desk. You immediately went back to churning out reports, a newfound incentive to finish your work.

"I can help you with that, Y/N."

"Oh, ever such a help, my hero~ But what about the server?"

"Ah, they'll behave. Besides..." he began, leaning down to your ear, nibbling on it gently. "Parents deserve a night to themselves sometimes, no?" he asked, only to be met with your hand pushing his face away.

"After work, Quest."

"Right, sorry. Well, then maybe instead of that..."

He pulled his phone out, tapping on the screen a few times before starting to play a playlist full of Christmas music. You gave a small snort at his antics, watching as he stole a swivel chair to sit next to you. "You're ridiculous," you laughed, watching him start peering at your documents.

"Yeah, but I'm also a hero, right? C'mon, you know you don't wanna be here for too long either, right? Let's get this done so we can go home."

You nodded along with him, starting to get to work almost twice as fast with an extra pair of hands helping you out, talking to him about a variety of things as you worked, occasionally stopping to sing a small duet from the music playing. The two of you kept working through the night, and soon after you were no longer upset about having to give up your sudden night shift. Quest made sure you forgot all about the whole thing later that night anyway.

The Daughter of A Siren.

Just an in between that I felt needed to be outside of part four.

LET'S face it, when it comes to men, us women are desperate to know exactly how we can get what we want and at the same time appear irresistible.

Have you ever wondered how Hollywood superstar Angelie Jolie has the power to make most men go weak at the knees?

Or how movie femme fatale Marilyn Monroe got her "luminous quality"?

You have to be distinguished from other women. Have the ability to make men pursue you without even trying. It’s in your voice. It’s in the way you dress. It’s how you move.

That’s what it takes to be a siren.

A siren is essentially a feminine woman who plays on her damsel-esque energy to seduce. Her power lies in the fact that she makes men feel powerful, although she’s the one in power. Women, on the other hand, want to be her, but fear their sexual energy could never compare. Many men have destroyed themselves because of the siren.

A man is often secretly oppressed by the role he has to play, by always having to be responsible, in control, and rational. The siren is the ultimate male fantasy figure because she offers a total release from the limitations of his life. In her presence, which is always heightened and sexually charged, the male feels transported to a realm of pure pleasure. In a world where women are often too timid to protect such an image, learn to take control of the man libido by embodying his fantasy.

Carmella Love was that woman.

the femme fatale whose smoldering style and countless relationships made her an icon. She was a vocalist turned actress. A woman who sings with enchanting sweetness. Carmella was the purest example of a siren. Think of Carmella and certain images instantly come to mind: the pouty lips, slightly parted; the sleepy, bedroom eyes of 1950s film stars; the curly hair; and that voice, breathy, like she just woke up and can't wait for you to join her in bed. Carmella conjures up sex and – simultaneously – misery, thanks to the way her troubled personal life has been pored over from the moment she became a movie star.

A deeply traumatised and lonely woman, in love with movies and the idea of love, but desperately crippled with daddy issues that infect every single relationship she develops. the victim narrative, and the absolute essence of feminine, sexual glamour and irresistibility. There is also a mystery to Carmella, something elusive. life was one of extreme lows and extraordinary highs. She became an actress after she was already a successful singer. Carmella’s mystery is not that of her ascent, but of the extreme contradictions of her life. She was a generational talent, a movie star with undeniable charisma, charm, fantastic comedic timing and an aggressive earnestness about her that was as disarming as it was captivating…

“The American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn't really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.”

"I don’t want to make money, I just want to be wonderful."

"I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it."

"It’s all make believe, isn’t it?"

She never really did it for the money. Carmella had a real passion for performing for others. She revels in enjoying her senses and the pleasure she can bring as well as pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable to society. She’s confident and exotic, and she knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She didn’t seek confirmation from men that she was attractive, rather having an innate understanding within herself that she is attractive and desirable.

Carmella moved from Baltimore to The Big Apple at the age of sixteen after her mother committed suicide. Her father had left them when Carmella was two days old and remarried to a woman in Virginia. Carmella found a job at Macy’s as a cashier during the day to cover her rent at her Harlem apartment and at night she would sing at a leather club in the 1980s for extra spending money to pay for studio time.

As the 1970s gave way to the ‘80s, New York City’s party scene entered a ferociously inventive period characterized by its incredible creativity, intensity and hybridity. New York City drove the music scene forward as remixers and producers entered into a mutant period that brought together disco, rhythm and blues, funk, rap, punk, no wave, new wave and dub into an undeniably heady mixture of sound seemingly beyond categorization. Much of the music released during the 1980-83 period didn’t have a name. Nobody seemed to care.

Carmella loved it all. She would sing at a popular nightclub in Manhattan and take to the dance floor. She found the fun in the mundane, enticing men without trying, like it was as easy as taking a breath, and the ability to bring out a heightened masculine feeling in those she came in contact with. Despite what she’d been through, she tried to enjoy life as much as she could.

During her nights out, she would always run into an attractively energetic and enthusiastic girl around her age named Felicity. Felicity Jones was a glamorous, ambitious, top advertising executive in New York. They quickly became great friends and after a period of time, Felicity’s older brother, Damion, took interest in Carmella. What man wouldn’t? She was gorgeous and it was easy to succumb to her.

Carmella had many unsuccessful relationships with men that she couldn’t stray away from. She just wanted to be loved. Her extensive dating history followed her well into her breakthrough career as an actress and with the fame came the gossip-mongers. As her good friend and photographer, Sam Davidson, who himself was rumored to be her lover, once said, "If Carmella slept with every guy that claims he was with her, she would have never had time to make any movies."

The 90s rolled around and Carmella was in her mid 30s when she finally took interest in Damion. It happened unexpectedly, and definitely not how Felicity would have wanted it to be. Felicity hated her brother Damion. He was an abusive, narcissistic man who often cheated on his then wife. Felicity tried to warn Carmella about her brother and why it would be a terrible idea to get involved with him, but Carmella was irrevocably in love with him.

Felicity lived in fear that Carmella would find out about the kinds of things her brother got involved in, things that could risk her life if she’d find out. Soon, Carmella began to grow jealous of Damion’s wife and how secretive he was whenever she’d ask him about his whereabouts. Their affair was one that Damion fought to keep hidden, and they bickered often about it. Damion would raise his hand to Carmella to ‘keep her in line’ and she would have to conceal her black eye with a pound of makeup the next day for a shoot.

As if things couldn’t get any worse, Damion decides to leave Carmella. She fell into depression and became a pain to work with on set because her personal life began to merge with her professional one. She picked up a drinking habit and would abuse prescription drugs. It was a cry for help and also a way to cope with the stress that came with fame. She dated men here and there to help fill the void in her life but she only wanted Damion.

After rehab and therapy for almost a year, Carmella reunited with Damion when he’d contacted her. He confided in her about his rocky marriage, and over time they rekindled their affair. Carmella kept it from Felicity as long as she could, but the unexpected pregnancy would be hard to conceal. Carmella didn’t feel as if her being pregnant was a burden. She hoped that it would bring them together and as delusional as it may seem, she wanted to become his wife.

Sadly, Damion abandoned her again and wanted nothing to do with Carmella when his wife began to suspect he was creeping around on her. Felicity soon found out about her pregnancy and urged Carmella not to tell Damion. Damion would stop at nothing to ruin Carmella’s life if he found out and Carmella refused to have an abortion. She’d always wanted a child of her own, and after trying for years in previous relationships, she finally had her miracle baby. True to her word, Carmella didn’t tell Damion about her pregnancy, even growing to resent him for the way he treated her. Apparently, his image was more important than Carmella’s feelings.

Carmella purchased a stunning colonial home in Buffalo, New York where she planned to have a water birth and a Doula to provide physical and emotional support. After press tours for her box office hit, she decided to take a long break away from the spotlight to raise her child. Carmella wanted the sex of her baby to be a surprise, and only Felicity knew what the sex was so she planned to decorate her nursery for the big reveal. Carmella finally gave birth in July of 1994 to a beautiful baby girl. She named her Adena; after her late mother who committed suicide.

Carmella made sure her daughter was set for life. She’d prepared a will with her attorney and legally arranged her financial accounts, property, and personal and medical information in such a way that trusted people in her life can handle her estate and affairs with as little inconvenience as possible when she passed away or become incapacitated. Carmella never had a relationship with her family, so the only person she trusted to take care of Adena if something ever happened to her, was Felicity. She appointed Felicity as Adena’s legal guardian.

Adena was a scholarly, active child. Whatever she found interest in, Carmella would support. She enjoyed dancing, singing, gymnastics, Capoeira, archery, and playing the piano. Adena had her mother’s siren eyes and lips and her father’s mocha complexion and nose. She’d sometimes look at her daughter and wish that she’d known who her father was. After seven years, Carmella would soon find out the dark truth about Damion.

A mysterious invitation arrived on her doorstep on the eve of Halloween after picking her daughter up from private school. They were both enjoying a scoop of vanilla ice cream while strolling along the cobblestone walk-way of their home when Carmella stopped, noticing a red box with a perfectly tied satin ribbon. She picked up the box and kept it away from Adena, instructing her to get started on her homework in the dining room and she’d join her.

In her kitchen, Carmella inspected the box carefully before undoing the neat bow. She slowly opened the box, afraid that she’d find something grotesque like a severed finger. When she finally opened the box, she found a black and red masquerade mask with a black feather and black crystals. She noticed an invitation in the box with a luxury black background and golden details. Reading the fancy script, she wondered who The Court of Aje were, and why they would be sending her an invitation.

And the anonymous note.

Someone wanted her to go to whatever this Halloween party was and the entire mystery of it all intrigued her. Carmella had plans with Adena earlier that day to take her to the pumpkin patch. She could ask her babysitter to watch Adena for the evening while she went. She’d have to find a dress to wear and seeing that it was last minute, Carmella hoped she could find something appropriate to wear for a masquerade ball.

And she's going to have to come up with a secret name.

“Oh!? Miss Love! Are you okay?”

Carmella sauntered into her kitchen, disheveled and in distress, ignoring the babysitter’s concerns. Felicity walked in soon after, just as distraught, and when she’d noticed the babysitter, she quickly assured her that everything was okay and she could go home for the evening. While Felicity walked the teenage girl to the door, she informed her that Adena was fast asleep for the night after being read a chapter of her favorite bedtime story; The Princess Bride.

Felicity closed and secured the door, checking out of one of the windows on the front door to make sure she’d left. Felicity rushed back to the kitchen to find it empty, and when she walked through the open patio doors to the back yard near the lagoon pool, she found Carmella sitting by the edge of the pool, staring down into the blue waters, the glow from the pool lights illuminating what looked like tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Carmella?” Felicity lifted the bottom of her green gown, and sat next to her best friend, “Hey…hey, sister…it’s okay…it’s gonna be alright. I’m just glad you’re safe.”

Felicity rubbed soothing circles on Carmella’s back.

“I can’t believe that’s what he gets involved in. And I wonder who sent that invitation…they must have wanted me to get killed that night. If it weren’t for you being there to have my back, I would have probably died…thank you.”

Felicity looked out beyond the yard with hard eyes.

“I hate him. I hate my father for even allowing us to get involved with The Stevens family. Those people are horrible. They’ve been horrible to my family since as early as the 20s.”

Carmella turned to Felicity with glossy eyes.

“…So, my family used to be as big as The Stevens’ are. Although we came from new money, we were just as well-respected as them. We had each other's backs…shared businesses together…it was as if we were a second family,” Felicity took a deep breath in before continuing, “That all came crashing down when one of my great uncles was accused of sexually assaulting a member of The Stevens Family. A teenage girl. He was wrongfully accused and my family were banished from ever doing business with them. They dragged our name through the dirt so bad that our family had to change our name…from King, to Jones.”

Carmella gave Felicity a puzzled look, “So, why does your family still interact with The Stevens family? Shouldn’t you feel…angry?”

Felicity shakes her head, “Oh…we are. But what can you do? They are powerful, Carmella. More powerful than any white man. They have the police, FBI, DA, government, and Mayor in their back pocket. Of course, being a prestigious black family, you have your fair share of white people trying to bring you down…but nothing can break The Stevens family. They made sure of that…”

Carmella exhaled a shaky breath, “So, they can just get away with murdering people?!”

“Yes,” Felicity sadly admitted,“And I wish you hadn’t gone there, Carmella. I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if something happens to you. Please, promise me, you’ll leave New York behind and just start over. You have the money, I will always be here for you. I’ve seen what they’ve done to people…and I’m wrapped up in this mess with no way to escape—”

“Then come with me,” Carmella grabbed Felicity’s hands tightly, “Let’s go to London. Remember how we always talked about moving there? Just the three of us, Felicity? Adena would love it. She always gets so excited with the post cards you’d send her, and the pictures of yourself lounging in your beautiful apartments in Notting Hill…”

Felicity smiled softly at Carmella, bringing her hand up to stroke stray curls from her eyes. They stared at each other deeply, Felicity fighting the urge to press her lips against Carmella’s. She’d loved Carmella since the moment she’d laid eyes on her. To see that she fell in love with her brother, it broke her heart. But, despite that, she still cared deeply for Carmella. She’d always feel that way. Carmella leaned in and pressed her lips against Felicity’s lips softly, lingering there for a moment, eyes closed and allowing the safety of her being there with her to envelope her.

“I love you, Felicity…”

Felicity blinked back tears and pulled Carmella into a tight hug, pressing her nose into her hair, inhaling her sweet scent.

“I love you too, girl…always.”

“Mama…Auntie…”

They both separated and turned towards a sleepy Adena rubbing her right eye while carrying her large care bear. She’s wearing a nightgown with Disney princesses all over it and her favorite fluffy pink slippers. Her waist length curls are pulled back into a low ponytail with the hairs frizzy from not wearing a scarf.

“Come here, pretty girl…” Felicity held out her arms.

Adena walked over to her aunt and her mother and Felicity sat her in her lap while playing in her hair. Carmella stroked her puffy cheek that reminded her of a cute chipmunk while Adena gave her a sleepy smile.

“Did you have a good time with your babysitter today?”

“Yes. Mommy, were you crying?”

Adena touched Carmella’s cheek with her tiny hand. Carmella reached for her daughter’s hand and brought it to her lips.

“Mommy is okay. Listen, why don’t we drink some hot cocoa to help you get some sleep?” Carmella said.

“And I’ll read one more chapter of The Princess Bride,” Felicity added.

Adena nodded her head rapidly with a tired smile before Felicity carefully stood up with Adena in her arms and followed Carmella back inside of the house.

Felicity didn’t know that would be the last time she would see Carmella alive.

The following week…

Felicity was summoned by her brother one cold evening in November. She walked the darkened hall with thick, carpeted floors within his home until she found him pacing the large, oval-shaped room with clenched fists and rageful eyes. He came to an abrupt stop when he’d spotted Felicity standing there with a stony expression and folded arms. Damion’s sinister eyes peered behind her and with a tick of his chin his henchmen that had guided Felicity to her brother's office disappeared and shut both polished oak doors.

Felicity watched her brother with an untrustworthy gaze, wondering what he’d called her there for. She’d just flown back in from Chicago after meeting some people there to do business. With his arms crossed behind his back like an evil villain, Damion walked up to Felicity, staring down at his sister with anger and resentment. Felicity’s emotions mirrored his, and she didn’t show any fear towards her brother. A slow, sly smirk appeared on his face at her courage.

“You have a lot of explaining to do, Felicity,” Damion spoke with a deep baritone, “Did you think I wouldn’t figure it all out?”

Felicity quirked an arched brow, “Figure what out?”

“Felicity…let’s not play games here. The Halloween ball…what was Carmella doing there?”

Worry showed in Felicity’s eyes and she was too late to hide it from her brother.

“She was never supposed to know about that, Felicity. You…you allowed her to walk in there and see what happens…you know what has to be done when you invite the unwelcomed, correct?”

Felicity stared unblinking at her brother but her lip trembled. Damion cupped her chin aggressively to make her look at him closer.

“…They suffer the consequences.”

Felicity pushed Damion away from her and he barely moved.

“What did you do…WHAT DID YOU DO?!!!!!” Felicity yelled.

“I made a statement. I did what needed to be done…Joseph,”

Felicity turned icy eyes onto Joseph Stevens who seemed to materialize from the shadows. His handsome, dimpled smile and unblemished umber skin came into view when he joined Damion’s side.

“You…you son of a bitch!!!!”

Damion caught Felicity by her narrow wrist before she could smack the taste out of Joseph's mouth.

“Get off of me, Damion!” Felicity screamed.

“You brought this on yourself, Felicity. Now, if it were my choice, I’d have you killed…just like we did that beautiful seductress. You betrayed us. How are we supposed to trust you when you do something like this?” Joseph spoke darkly.

“No,” Felicity’s knees buckled, “What did you do to her!!!!!!!”

“It will be on the news by tomorrow morning I fear,” Damion whispered ghoulishly, “Such a beautiful, talented woman gone too soon…”

“She said she received an anonymous invite! Whoever did it set her up! Why don’t you punish them?! She didn’t know anything before going to the ball! How could you?! How could you Damion?!” Felicity wailed.

“We don’t know who sent the invite.” Joseph admitted.

Felicity turned her teary eyes onto her brother who hadn’t responded. She had an inkling that he knew who had done it and was covering for them.

“This situation could get out of hand, Felicity. Powerful people attend this ball every year. If word got out that they are involved in this type of activity…all will be lost,” Joseph stated carefully, “This was an attempt to tarnish our name. Whoever did this, was jealous of Carmella, and also willing to bring my family down.”

Felicity kept her cold eyes on her brother, but he didn’t break character.

“Did you question Maxine, Damion? Your wife?”

“Maxine knows nothing about The Court of Aje. And if she did, she wouldn’t be safe from our wrath either. Maybe you let slip about the ball to Carmella yourself—”

“I WOULD NEVER RISK HER LIFE! I’M NOT LIKE ANY OF YOU!” Felicity shouted.

“Then, it remains a mystery…” Joseph said.

“Until then, we’ve decided to revoke your involvement with The Court of Aje, Felicity, and you will be watched from here on out. If we find out that anyone else knows about this…I won’t hesitate to kill you.”

Felicity felt as if a boulder had crushed her. She couldn’t believe her brother had said that to her. Not even the hurt in her eyes made him realize how evil he is towards her. She had to get away. All she could think about beyond the ringing in her ears is little Adena discovering her mother’s dead body, or worse…

“I won’t say anything. And why would I? So you can kill someone else and get away with it?” Felicity said with a shaky voice.

Damion’s jaw tightened at her words and Joseph Stevens watched her storm out the doors. She rushed out of his home and raced over to Carmella’s home. Tears blurred her vision when she charged through the doors, calling out for Carmella. She searched the entire basement, then worked her way to the main level and couldn’t find her. She wasn’t out at the pool either.

“Carmella! Adena!” Felicity shouted.

Her footsteps bounded up the stairs and all she could see beyond the darkness of the hallway was a dim light from her master bathroom. Carmella took leisurely steps into Carmella’s room that looked rather ordinary, but when she’d made it past her bed, she found the carpet soaked with pinkish bath water. The door was left ajar, but the sound of running water grew louder as Felicity pushed open the door….

“CARMELLA!”

Slipping on the linoleum floor, feet splashing in bloody water, Felicity ran to the jacuzzi bathtub, screams bouncing off of the walls like a chilling echo. She got down on her knees and turned off the faucet, too distraught to believe the state of her friend. She looked pale. Her wrists were slit and she was lying in a bloody bath. Her eyes were open and they looked empty. Felicity forced her eyes away, shaking, unable to get the image of her dead eyes out of her mind. All she could do was try and remember the light that had occupied those bewitching eyes.

“Adena?!!!!” Felicity looked around the bathroom, but there was no sight of her, “ADENAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”

She left Carmella’s body to search for Adena. Feet heavy, Felicity combed Carmella’s room, even searched beneath her bed, when she made it inside of Adena’s room, she checked beneath her canopy bed and the closet. Just when she was about to leave, Felicity looked towards the corner of her room where a pile of Adena’s stuffed animals were. Felicity walked over, crouching down, and when she peeked over a tall giraffe, she spotted Adena in the fetal position, shaking with fear.

“Hey, pretty girl…it’s Auntie…”

Adena sat up slowly, and when Felicity noticed blood stains on her night shirt, she broke down crying.

“Is—is mommy dead?” Adena questioned with a soft-spoken voice.

Felicity felt her throat close up as she watched tears stream down Adena’s youthful face. Felicity sighed heavily, letting her head drop. Adena could hold the heartbreak no longer and she fell to the floor in a disheveled heap as her grief poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears.
