Blood and Roses 36: Never bargain with demons
×Griffin× Janet Crawford has a son, who is still alive? I guess those women never specified if the boy that died was her only child, but it was kind of implied. Anastasia and I walked away from the front door, she had two chairs and a long bench hanging on chains to make a swing. I sat on the fake swing and Anastasia joined me, her shorts refused to stay in their position, instead they rose up her thighs to reveal more of her gorgeous skin. Without thinking, I dropped my hand to it and gripped it. The heat of her skin against my palm…. It's enticing. Dell had shown me images of her grinding against his mouth, and begging him for things she didn't even understand. He has a very nice way of making someone feel bad. But it was hot to see the replay of how he made her come. 'I know. By the way, just in case you wanted to know, that boy in there is her dead son. I can feel his trapped soul. He died, and was reborn. But the scent, and the aura says, his mother made a deal to bring him
Blood and Roses 37: He needs to hear this
×Anastasia× I know I'm being a big baby by refusing to leave my room but I don't care. I'm mad I even let myself feel sympathetic for this woman. She gave away my whole family to save her kid? He was already dead. You don't see me trying to summon the great Azazel so he can restore my family. Grimsborrow houses plenty of demons, curses, and some other spooky stuff that parents don't tell their kids. Because, you know teens, they'll see that as a challenge to go and disprove what the adults claim.If I wanted to strike a deal, I would have gone to the graveyard and done just dad but I didn't. Instead, I decided I was going to put the person responsible behind bars. Griffin told me what the lady said, but I'm still too upset to even consider her words. There's this slimmer of hope in my mind that is forcing me to stay angry. If she hadn't helped whoever those people were, get into my fucking house then there is this huge chance that my family would have been alive by now. They would
Blood and Roses 38: Interesting, I'm in
×Griffin× 'Do you think she's okay? Maybe we should check on her, she seemed kind of upset.'For the thousandth time, I'm sure Anastasia doesn't need anything. She's probably having fun being pissed at Janet. Can I please focus on the content of this laptop?'But aren't you worried? She didn't even eat dinner. Just check on her please.'Dell, I swear to grim himself if you disturb me one more time, I will lock Anastasia in a box and push her into a lake.'HaHa, nice joke, you know I'll drown you with her.'So fucking annoying. Dell has been on my case for the past few hours. Anastasia didn't want to eat dinner so what, that's not enough reason for him to fuckin annoy me and yet he does it still. She's wearing his bracelet, he can just enter her mind but instead he's here bugging me when I'm trying to work. Anastasia's laptop is lathered with well, so many unnecessary things. I got the feeling she was trying to hide something in these pictures of her notes, her bedroom, herself, her
Blood and Roses 39: A date
×Anastasia× Today is our last day in this creepy town. We've gone over as many footage and audio as we can. Griffin hasn't changed his attitude towards me, and I'm skeptical to return home. Theodore lied to me. It's difficult for me to believe that The Theodore Roosely would be involved in this type of shit. And I left him alone with my cousin. What if Alexis is sacrificed too? It's not like I can stop it. If I asked her about it, she wouldn't tell me. I won't get myself hurt because she's decided to stay mad at me forever. The audios revealed more information, but we couldn't get to everything. Griffin and I have to return to Grimsborrow tomorrow. There's one thing, the Anastasia in those videos said. The last tape I listened too, she told whoever was listening to burn the tapes, laptop, and videos. She said,"Everything you need is in the flashdrive. Find out where I hid it. Post the evidence online, and put a stop to this."The thing is, she never mentioned that flashdrive again.
Blood and Roses 40: This is what I want
×Anastasia× I don't know how it happened, but being in Sweet Haven relaxed both Griffin and I. We ended up getting wasted, and dancing in a fountain. Of course we weren't arrested, they cheered us on even more. A couple joined us, kicking and dancing. Dinner was fantastic. To die for type do delicious. After getting our clothes wet, we walked around the rest of the festival. Trying snacks, drinking some more and talking about-"There's no way you actually tattooed that." My laugh sounded annoying to my ears but I couldn't find it in my body to care, even in the slightest. My chest felt heavy and full of joy. It's been too long since I laughed without a care in the world. I'm not even watching my back. Griffin has an arm around my waist, we're balancing each other out. Keeping us on our toes or we might fall over. "I did. I don't know why I thought it would be badass, but I was rebelling-" he burped. "Ex- exussee mee."Okay, he's slurring his words. I think he meant excuse me. "And
Blood and Roses 41: I'm scared
×Anastasia× My head feels heavy, and my body feels weak. My hips move to side, and pain zaps through me. I let out a small resounding yelp, and the bed shifts next to me. Taking slow deep breaths, I reached for the lamp switch on the bed side table next to me. The room is full of light now, and I can see everything around me. There's no decent explanation as to why my body feels like crap, I wish I could just sleep it off, but I'm not tired. Fuck, what the hell happened?"You're awake?" Griffin grumbles next to me. He moves oddly in the bed as I try to understand why we're both sharing a bed. The sheets roll down and my eyes cast a look down to my bare skin. I'm naked. ….I am fucking naked! Oh my fucking god!I shot up, and yanked the sheets back over my chest area. I'm naked. I turned to Griffin who's rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. His torso is bare, and dragging my eyes down to where the duvet stops above his hips. I can see that he's nude there too. What the hell happene
Blood and Roses 42: The pain that kills me
×Griffin×Anastasia is freaking out. I can tell. I can feel it. As much as I want to stay with her, I turned the car away from her street and drove myself back to my hellhole. The place people expect me to call home. I've seen cemeteries and morgues with a more homey feeling than I get whenever I return home. There's a car I don't recognize outside in the driveway the very second my father's house comes into view. Who the fuck owns that?'Do we care?'No you're right. We don't.Once my car was secured in the parking spot, I headed out. Snatching the bags that I needed to hide for Anastasia. I'll take them to Dell's shed. As soon as I drop my things in my room. I feel like I'm fifty. My father makes me feel that old. I want to avoid him. I want to get as far as I can. But that would mean he won. He succeeded in making me look like the devil's spawn. He's had every control over my life. He's the major reason I'm broody. The reason I've gotten into trouble. If someone thinks you're ba
Blood and Roses 44: Wench
×Anastasia× My return to the house comes with a slight feeling of dread. The fact that the feeling is only small is what shocks me the most. Seeing my aunt with a knife, nearly drove me insane. Until she hugged me and explained that she was in the middle of preparing dinner, and I arrived just in time. I excused myself and went off to my bedroom. Tossed my bag on the bed, and crawled into it. Just laying there, I pulled my phone out and texted Griffin to tell him that I'm doing okay. I went to my gallery, clicking through a folder marked as memories. It had pictures of my family. Videos too. It's cute, and it tells me what I missed. What I can't remember. That little nightmare plagues me. When I see them, I see their splattered body next. And it hurts. A pang swells in my chest, I blow out some air to try and relieve the pain.Can't I just see them being Happy? There's a photo of me and Marion, laughing like a bunch of cooks. Our eyes look weird, and I'm sure we did that on purpose
