The (After) life of the Party

faer-katie:

Katie smiled after his kiss, getting the chills. She clung to his shirt as he said the last four words. “Good.” She sighed out. She had been so worried there had been such a weight on her shoulders. It was like the world had been crushing her and now it was like she was floating.

“I’m just happy I’m still yours.” A year ago she would have staked claim in Hatch like her was her property. But she had learned something in the year they’d spent together. She didn’t need him to be hers. She needed to be his. She sat down on the couch and waited for him to come back with her blanket.

Hatch came back with a blanket and wrapped it around her shoulders. He sat down next to her. “Do you need anything else?” He asked wrapping his arm around her. “I could make you something warm to drink…” He thought for a moment, trying to remember if he had any real food around the house.

faer-katie:

Katie kept her tight grip on him. She never wanted to let go of him again. She didn’t even feel the cold. All she could feel was Hatch. He was all she cared about. But as he pulled she followed. “I’m fine.” She said quietly looking up at him taking him in like she had spent centuries away from him. 

“I am so sorry.” She said again not taking her eyes off him as they stepped inside. “It’s never going to happen again.” She sighed out the words. She didn’t know what else to say to him. Sh had missed him so much and had imagined all the things she could say to him when she returned but she couldn’t remember any of the rehearsed conversations she had staged. And she didn’t want to. “I love you Hatch.” Was all she could manage out. The only worlds that made sense to her in the moment.

Hatch kept his arms tightly around her even though they were safely in the house. He shushed her, kissing her lips gently. “I forgive you, Katie.” He kept her close to his chest still having that feeling that she’d disappear again and never come back. “I love you, Katie.” he said resting his head on her shoulder.

“I’m just happy you’re safe.” He whispered leading her over to his couch and sat her down. “Stay right here… I’m going to get you a blanket.”

faer-katie:

Katie could barely see. The rain was getting the best of her and her eyes might have been filling with tears. She tired to take a deep breath as she walked away. But she ran head long into someone. A very familiar someone. 

Katie looked up as she heard her name. Her heart soared as she made eye contact. She wrapped her arms around him trying to keep the tears in. “I’m so sorry.” She repeated over and over with her face buried in his shoulder.

Hatchet held his girlfriend as close as he could, fearing she’d disappear again. He shook his head pulling away and cupping her face to make sure she was really there. He stroked her hair shushing her as she apologized over and over again. At this point he really didn’t care. She was back and that’s all that really mattered at the moment.

“Katie, where have you be-, It doesn’t matter.” He grabbed her hand. “Let’s go get you dried off.” He said pulling back to his house. “You must be freezing!”

faer-katie:

Katie looked herself over in the mirror. Her hair had gotten long and her makeup almost unnoticeable. She bit her lip as she picked up her umbrella. She had just finished talking with Em and she needed to see Hatch. This infernal rain wasn’t going to stop her. She wasn’t going to let anything stop her from seeing her love. Even if he didn’t love her anymore. She need to see him.

She descended the stairs and disappeared out the door. She opened her sturdy umbrella and took off to the vampire neighborhood. Butterflies attacked her chest and stomach. She couldn’t get them to calm down. She had been with Hatch almost a year and she still felt these butterflies.

Hatch’s house came in to her view and she stopped for a moment. Could she really do this? She asked herself. She shook her hair to clear it and continued. She reached his door and reached her hand out to knock but pulled it back.

She stared at the door. She was soaked. She didn’t know when but she had let her umbrella fall down. Her hair was drenched, as were her clothes and shoes. She felt tears well up in her eyes. She had been such a bad girl friend. She knocked on the door after mustering up all of her courage.

But before he could answer she turned away. He probably wasn’t even in Sunnybrooke anymore. She told herself as she walked away from his house slowly as she wrapped her arms around herself.

Hatch thanked the woman behind the counter at the blood bank and promptly left with his supplies. The rain had begun to pour down harder than before. The vampire just sighed, pulled up his hood and kept his head down as he walked.

As he approached his house he bumped into someone, the rain obscuring his vision and to be honest he wasn’t really paying attention to the things going on around him. He lifted his head looking at the person he had bumped into.

“Katie?” Hatchet was shocked, he hadn’t seen his girlfriend in what felt like years. He wrapped his arms around the faerie letting her into a tight hug.

troythetroublemaker:

Does that mean you’d be up for an all-nighter Resident Evil marathon? -grins-

Totally! -smiles- But only if I can be player one…

troythetroublemaker:

And, well, my boyfriend might not appreciate it, but you can crash on the couch if we end up playing until like three in the morning. -chuckles-

No, that’s fine.. I don’t sleep anyway.

troythetroublemaker:

Don’t be silly, Hatch. You’re amazing, and you know it.

-Laughs- Thanks, Troy.

troythetroublemaker:

No, thank you. Without your skills, we wouldn’t of gotten past that boss battle. -chuckles-

My skills aren’t that good… Trust me. You did most of the work.

troythetroublemaker:

Besides, I think you’re the best Halo partner I’ve ever had!

You’re definitely allowed over anytime you want.

Best Halo partner? Thanks, man.

troythetroublemaker:

I meant if you’re ever in trouble, or you need a hand with something.

Don’t hesitate to call, alright?

Oh, right… I knew that..

Thanks.

troythetroublemaker:

Well, next time you should give me a call. I would of helped you out, man.

Hopefully There won’t be a next time…

troythetroublemaker:

Are you alright?

I mean, you obviously got unstuck, but still, are you okay?

Yeah, I’m fine.

I was just really annoying to get unstuck…

troythetroublemaker:

What happened, Hatch?

I glued my hand to the kitchen counter…

gabriellemonet13:

No need to yell.

What? Oh! Sorry… Didn’t mean to yell..

gabriellemonet13:

Oh. I’m sorry…How did you do that?

I was building a model and the glue was spilled everywhere and I was a idiot and put my hand down on the counter…

gabriellemonet13:

What did you do?

I glued my hand to the counter..

troythetroublemaker:

Halo…

I love that game

troythetroublemaker:

How’d you like to be my second in command for the night?

Sure, What game was it again?

troythetroublemaker:

Oh, that’s cool.

So, Hatch, do you like drinking beer and killing aliens?

Yeah, Killing Aliens is fun..

troythetroublemaker:

Where do you get blood from, if you don’t mind me asking?

Animals mostly, Sometimes I go to the blood bank but I don’t like to very often…

troythetroublemaker:

Drink, like… blood?

-laughs- Thats usually what vampires drink..

troythetroublemaker:

Wicked!

I bet you can do some pretty cool stuff with those.

Thanks!

Not really… Just use ‘em to drink.

troythetroublemaker:

Because I think fangs are cool.

As a faerie, I can’t really show you something to prove I’m a faerie, unless you want some rain or snow.

Well, I guess you can see..

I know what faeries smell like so I believe you

troythetroublemaker:

Would it be rude to ask to see your fangs?

…Can I ask why you want to see them?

troythetroublemaker:

Coven? Oh, you’re a vampire. Awesome!

Katie? Katie who?

Yeah, I guess.

Katie McGarth

troythetroublemaker:

Well… I sort of stick to the Faerie Circle. Haven’t really had much time to explore with moving in and all.

Yeah, I stay in the coven most of the time.

Unless I go see Katie in the circle, but I think she’s in Irland visiting her family..

troythetroublemaker:

Yeah, just got here, like, last week?

Why… is it that obvious still?

Kind of

I just haven’t seen you around until now…

troythetroublemaker:

You’re a good man, Hatch. Not just anyone gives away a sword.

Well, I don’t really need it anymore… 

You new here?

troythetroublemaker:

I have a cape, but I don’t think I have a sword. Mind if I borrow it?

Nice to meet you Hatch.

Sure, You can have it if you want. Katie’s been asking me to get rid of it anyway.

Yeah you too.

troythetroublemaker:

Zorro! Now, I just need my cape and a sword!

Oh, I’m Troy by the way.

I have a cape and sword… I think they’re in my basement

I’m Hatchet… or Hatch whichever you prefer.

troythetroublemaker:

Who am I? -smirks-

Uhh, You kinda look like that guy from the Zorro movies..

or the good guy from the Princess bride… I can’t decide

the-mermaid-marie:

I can’t not pay attention! Because if I do that then someone will get hurt and it will be all my fault! 

Uhm… okay.. Calm down, Fräulein..

Do you need to talk about it?

the-mermaid-marie:

It’s complicated I just…have a lot of responsibility right now. 

Oh, yeah that. 

I just don’t pay that too much attention…

the-mermaid-marie:

Why?

jessramirez45:

I’m not use to having a lot of people around me.

Everyone here is really easy to get along with if that helps… 

jessramirez45:

And that will be my Que to stay in the shadows.

Why would you go in the shadows? 

jessramirez45:

Look like no one is around.

It’s just quiet today It’ll pick up soon..

faer-katie:

vamp-hatchet:

Hatch shut the door and locked it. “Yep.” He held her hand as they walked out of vampire territory. “So, why do you want to take a walk through the woods?” Personally Hatch didn’t like the woods at all long before his own attack, but if Katie wanted it he’d do it.

She walked as close to him as she could. She forgot how much she enjoyed being next to him. “It’s a faerie thing…forests are kind of what we do.” She shrugged. “We don’t have to be in there long…I just like being in the trees…” She trailed off and laughed, “I sound like a hippie.” She rolled her eyes.

Hatch laughed along with her. “Well, I can’t really argue with that, now can I?” He joked steering them off the side walk and down a path that lead to the forest. “But seriously I knew a lot of hippies… you’re far from one, Katie.”

faer-katie:

Katie’s eyes lit up as he opened the door. “Hey Hatch.” She leaned up on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. She dropped down on to her heels and slipped her hand into his. “Ready?” She asked looking up at him. 

Hatch shut the door and locked it. “Yep.” He held her hand as they walked out of vampire territory. “So, why do you want to take a walk through the woods?” Personally Hatch didn’t like the woods at all long before his own attack, but if Katie wanted it he’d do it.

faer-katie:

Katie smiled and pulled on her new black flat boots over her skinny jeans. She stood up and looked herself over in the mirror. She smiled and tucked her dark hair behind her ear. She wasn’t even going to bother with makeup. Going retro was her new style. And by retro she meant like a modern day teenager version of herself. She’d decided that she missed some of the old ways when she’d been out on her vacation. She wrapped a wispy scarf around her neck and grabbed her knit jacket off her chair, patted her cat on his head and headed out.

She’d been dying to spend sometime in the woods but she hated being alone in there ever since her attack. And she loved spending time with Hatch so combining the two was a perfect Sunday overcast afternoon. She hummed as she walked out of the fae circle and headed to Hatch’s place. She didn’t take her time and made it to his house in no time. She knocked on the door with a huge smile on her face.

Hatch heard a knock on the door and slipped his leather jacket on before answering it. He opened the door and smiled at Katie before stepping out onto the porch. “Hey, Katie.” He said with a smile. It had been a while since Hatch left the house and he was glad that Katie wanted to go out.

faer-katie:

You’re never in trouble with me..anymore.

Oh sweet!

I haven’t been out of the house in a while so this will be good for me…

faer-katie:

Do what?

 

Wanna go for a walk? You know I hate walking through the forest alone..

… Nothing I thought I was in trouble.

Sure! I’d love to walk with you.

faer-katie:

I didn’t do it!

faer-katie:

I Will!

kris-clarke:

I’m bummed out.

Is everything okay?
