Empathy.

It was something many people claimed to have, though often failed to use.

They would call themselves empaths. Walking around with a kind smile and doing little deeds that would allow them to claim the title of being a good person, and they would wear it like a crown. Acting as though they were special- royalty as they stalked the streets and played to the fragile reputation they had built themselves, crafting their kindness out of glass and carrying it carefully as they strolled with fumbling fingers, and at the first test they would trip, dropping the ball and hearing it shatter. And their persona would crack, showing the cruel human hiding beneath. And they were exposed.

Liviana always prided herself on being kind. She truly was an empath. She was kind, caring, considerate. And she relied a lot on her instincts. Her impressive observation skills and her high emotional intelligence- not to mention her unmatched intuition.

She could read body language. Watching her people and

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Four

    It didn’t take the two women more than an hour for them to collect themselves. They showered, cleansed themselves of both blood and bad energy, and changed their clothes, taking no more than a second or two more than they had to in an excuse to gather their bearings before they were meeting back up in the living room and, suddenly, it was time to have that dreadful conversation that, in the end, wasn’t all that dreadful.As soon as the two sat down and the silence slowly but surely began to fade, taking any awkwardness or tension with it, the conversation flowed between them easily. Naturally, even. Like they were always meant to be here and do this - speak, listen, and understand each other. Help and support each other. Like it was fate that they were the last two sisters standing. And who knew? Maybe it was. Fate certainly sounded better than the alternative - Amara and whatever Masterplan she was trying to execute this time. At least, Livi sure thought so. But from the sounds of it

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three

    The car ride was filled with an awkward silence and a million unanswered questions that had Liviana's head spinning with worry - mostly for her husband. Where was he now? Would he really come home? When? What would it mean when - if - he did? Would he be different? Would this change their lives - their marriage - as they know it? Was her life about to change forever again, and she didn't even know it?God, she couldn't even imagine the change, the damage, the turmoil, of whatever was to come. She couldn't stomach the thought of another day spent trying to clean up the mess left behind when her life, once again, was flipped upside down and she was thrown for a loop like it was a fun sport for the divines that made her. The ones that put her here in the first place. The same ones whose plan she's always tried to trust and believe in, even on her worst days, but now... Now she wasn't sure they had anything more than a very sick, very cruel sense of humor, and a taste for trouble, for som

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Two

    It felt like a million years had passed by while Liviana sat in that car, stuck, and by the time she heard another peep from anyone inside that dreadful house, she could've sworn she'd driven herself mad a million little times by now, all with thoughts of him - her husband.Was he okay? Would she see him again? Of course, she knew she would. But that didn't stop her tortured mind from throwing all the possibilities at her, no matter how slim and unlikely. So, she couldn't help but wonder, what if something happened to him and she really was the last to walk out that door? What if that was the last time she saw him? What if that was the last time he saw her? Running away from him? Leaving him behind? For... what? For his family to tear apart like they would any other helpless victim of theirs? Like he wasn't their son? Their brother? Her husband? Would he think that she'd let them? That she just abandoned him?God, just the thought was sickening, and it almost had Liviana ready to jump

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty One

    The chaos broke out again in loud voices carried out by years of pent up emotion - over twenty years of anger, resentment, and something like guilt that came spilling out in uncontrollable waves of Castelli fire and, for a long moment, it was hard to hear over all the noise. Liviana could hardly make out any real words aside from all the accusations and the names and insults that were being thrown until, suddenly, those harsh words turned into even harsher fists, punches being thrown left and right when, out of nowhere, Amara and Violet are charging at one another all over again when - to no one's surprise - Amara is crossing another line and Violet decides enough is enough.It's when Amara mentions her past - her family - that Violet snaps, refusing to hear such horrible things being said about her parents, her siblings, the people she loves, just because they weren't as fortunate as the 'great, all-powerful Castelli's.' She wouldn't allow her own flesh and blood to be ridiculed for

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Fifty

    "What the hell was that about?"It's the first thing Liviana hears through her haze, flinching where she stood perched up against a wall, head bowing in an effort to keep herself hidden behind a curtain of her hair - as if that could protect her from the situation that surrounded her or the people, whose eyes she can feel piercing through her every couple of seconds. It isn't until she hears the question - hears their voices - that Liviana begins to relax ever so slightly, feeling those sharp eyes flit away from her, offering her a moment of relief. It's short-lived when, suddenly, there's a hand on her shoulder and she's being spun around and her hearts dropping all over again, eyes blowing wide in a split second of panic when she's hit with the thought of 'not again' until her eyes meet his - her husband's, and the shriek she could feel bubbling up in her throat dies in favor of releasing a thankful sigh. She didn't think she could ever be happier to see the man than she was in tha

  • Re-Arranged   Chapter One Hundred and Forty Nine

    "Blaze!"He could recognize that voice anywhere - could pick it out of a million in his sleep if he had to - and the moment he hears it, he runs. He practically jumps out of the chair he was in as if it were on fire, his feet moving faster than he could think. "Armani?!" He shouts, darting for the door and chasing after the sound - after an answer. "Where are you? What's wrong?"He steps out into the hallway, head snapping in both directions before he see's something - some sort of commotion - at the end of the hall that has him rushing off before his wife can even ask what's going on. Livi frowns, watching him go with a pit of dread in her stomach. Oh God... what could possibly be wrong now?She doesn't give herself time to wonder - time to overthink or worry too much and let her cowardice get the best of her - before she's rushing after him, asking, "where is he?" As she goes, following her husband into battle blindly, just like she promised him she would. Just like she always fear
