×Anastasia×"The girl, you're uh- looking for- wait, are you wearing makeup?" I blink my eyes, they almost hurt. What did he just ask me? Am I wearing what?"On my neck, yes. But I didn't put on my face. I figured I'm going to sweat. The one on my neck is liquid proof, and it took alot of time."Griffin sinks his teeth into his bottom lip. "How the fuck do you remain beautiful without any makeup? I thought that was the secret to beauty."I laughed hard, my stomach cramped up in the process. There is nothing that can beat a speechless Griffin. "Dude, girls look gorgeous without make-up too. Sometimes it's a mask to shield our flaws. Others times it's a shield that makes us feel confident, I can't explain it to you. And most times than not, it just looks great on us so we want to have it on.But thank you. I'm glad you think I'm pretty without makeup."For the first time, Griffin blushes. He looks away from me, a half ass frown on his face. I made him blush. Ah!"Whatever. I was going
Blood and Roses 025: Strange behavior
×Griffin×Anastasia has been acting weird. By that I mean she showed up to my house last night, but then ran off without saying a word. I wonder if she thought I was sleeping. Then she called but hung up the second I picked up. So instead of dealing with that, or trying to understand why she was acting that way. I let Dell go find her in the morning. I'm skipping school today anyways. He'll go in my place. Dad and I had a fight. I want nothing more than to go back into the safe space of my memories and forget the hate he gives me. ×Dell×Griffin is hurt, but he refuses to admit it. It's my job to protect him, I promised his mother. So that means talking to talon first before I go to my flower. When Griffin was a kid, he would huddled up in his head all the time, trying so desperately to forget his father existed. I was there of course. I will always be there. We're platonic mates.I reached for the drawer, and popped two of the pills into my mouth to keep my bloody rage at bay. Trut
Blood and Roses 026: Bad teachers
×Anastasia×I made through the weekend without twitching or giving into the discomfort that raked through my body. And Griffin, he's been absent in my life. I'd text him and he would respond once in a while. Every two hours with like one word. I think something happened but I'm too scared to ask him. Sure we kissed. And it was a spitfire of a kiss but Griffin gets angsty whenever I ask him. Something personal so I refuse too. He wants to help me find my family's killer but then what? We just go back to being strangers after that?The mixed messages are messing with my head. I like Griffin. I can admit that. I like Dell, maybe more. Though it's somehow equal. But Griffin is giving me the cold shoulder. He's a mystery. First, I'm learning that his father would kill him. And now, I think may have done something else wrong.Because he's been avoiding my eyes. On purpose. He'd accidentally lock eyes with me and then look away. I don't get it. I haven't done anything wrong recently. I
Blood and Roses 27: Nightmares pt 2
×Anastasia×I was in a maze, I knew that because I was walking for hours and I kept hitting dead ends after dead ends. Just fucking great. Isn't that wonderful? I can't escape. I'm so done with this. I want answers. I want to know who took my parents, but I have been offered something that most people beg for. A second chance at life. I can't squander it. I can't spend it trying to find something-That might never be found. And who's to say what happens if I do succeed. Will the sheriff's department lock them up? No, no, I don't fucking think so. They'll spin the blame somehow on me.Because I made some poor choices three years ago.Yeah, that past me was a real bitch. I get that but I don't deserve this. There are thousands of bitches in this world, why am I suffering this much?'It's because you're alone.' Cecil responds. I groaned, she had a very good point. I am alone. I don't even want to count Dell. He's wonderful, but he can't protect me from things like this. I was at school,
Blood and Roses 28: I remember when.....
×Anastasia×My sweater pushes up my arms, and the heavy pour of the rain hits my skin time and time again. Giving a cold contrast to the burning heat surging through me. I am not well. Dell had to heal me on his own since he didn't trust the doctors not to murder me. And I wouldn't even trust them. I'd rather go to a witch doctor out of town. They're expensive but worth it. They'll save me the stress of having to worry about some nurse that has a grudge against my parents, sneaking into my room and injecting me with malaria. Or an STD. I've been staring at the roses for a good minute since I returned home. I didn't go to school, Dell promised he would return to go with me. It's fucking ridiculous how the principal tried to get rid of me. She really formed a lie in front of my face, and tried to convince me. What a bitch. She texted me this morning after my return. I've been out of school for onky two days, and those days have been fine. Alexis was worried, and strangely, so was Ava
Blood and Roses 29: Intruder
×Anastasia×Fuck. Fuck. I can't recognize the voice. How did they get into my house? I was in no position to fight. My skin wet with water, my chest ached. I'm still healing. I went into a cursed forest for fuck sakes. Can't I get a break?I pulled at my charm bracelet, Dell said he would always come to my rescue but he seemed like Griffin was going through something because of how annoyed Dell looked and why he couldn't stay after receiving a text. I signed, whoever this Intruder is, I'll have to handle them on my own. I tugged my bracelet one more time for good measure, before forcing my body to rise and patting myself dry with the towel. I dropped it and tapped around for the clothes I'd brought in. I found only something soft. My robe. I pulled it on, then proceeded to search for something I could use as a weapon.'I can defend you. We'll need to shift.'We can't. That lady told me it's risky to shift at this point of healing. It's a dangerous idea. I won't add to my problems.
Blood and Roses 30: Back to School
×Anastasia×Alexis is a bitch. I had to accept that when I found my sister's old bicycle. She took the car to school, and I was thankful for that. I haven't returned since the incident. The headmistress has been blowing up my phone, saying we could talk about this. She wants to buy my silence and I know it. But I also know that no one would believe me if I ever reported it, so I didn't bother. I rode the bicycle to school. I spent the past few days digging through the garden, let me tell you, so far I've found nothing important. I think I'm missing something but I won't give up. We have flowers all around the house. Eclipsa said to check the roses, maybe I'm missing something. Alexis was leaning against the hood of her car when I arrived at school. She was having a conversation with Nona and her buddies. I got off, loosed the pin on my hair and smoothed my fingers on my shirt. I will always look good. Even when I'm distraught and unable to sleep. I've been sleeping only for an hou
Blood and Roses 31: Fixing it
×Griffin×Dell is pissed at me, and so is Anastasia, and shockingly Luciana. I'll admit that I shouldn't have said those things to Ana. She said she was in danger, and I was so fucking pissed at my father that I carried that anger over to her. And now she won't even look at me.I guess I should be happy. Instead, I feel like crap. Dell has been quiet, he doesn't respond to anything that I do. I know that I've messed up but I don't know how to fix it. I was angry, I let my rage take over.She said she can't trust that I won't turn on her. And truthfully, I understand that. I can't trust that I won't turn my back on her unless we address the reason why I'm mean to her. Not my father, no that conversation doesn't need to leave my home. Anastasia is kneeling by one of the rose bushes and digging up the soil. She's analyzing the patch of damaged flowers and I don't get the purpose of that but it's whatever.I knocked on the gate, in hopes of getting her attention. If she forgives me, so w
