New Recruit

Jules and Darkling meet for the first time in this timeline! In possibly the weirdest setting...

I know someone is there the moment I open my eyes. Something is… off… something with the shadows. I sit bolt upright, drawing in a breath to scream, but a gloved hand claps over my mouth.

“Shhhh…” a male voice whispers. “I’m not going to hurt you.” I read between the lines. If I wanted you dead you wouldn’t have woken up. I notice from the intruder’s voice that they are a teenager, probably not too much older than myself. I hold my breath until he takes his hand away, then slowly let it out.

“Who are you and why the hell are you in my room?” I hiss.

The boy snorts. “Yeah, probably not the best idea on my part.” He pauses. “To answer your questions, you know me as Darkling.” I stiffen. Darkling? One of the most dangerous villains in the world? In my bedroom? “Also… I’m here to recruit you.”

“Recruit… me?” I ask, baffled.

“Have the events of this afternoon slipped your mind?” Darkling says. “You need someone to teach you how to control your abilities, and I can teach you more than that. Dangerous as you are, I don’t doubt that someone will target you soon enough, and you’ll need to know how to defend yourself.”

“What’s in it for you?”

“If this all works out, I’ll have a very dangerous cryokinetic on my side,” he says simply. “What did you think I was going to say?” He asks when he notes my expression.

“I’m still trying to get past the fact that I have a villain in my room.” I sigh. “Do I have a choice?”

“Of course,” Darkling assures me. “But I will warn you, I’m not the only one who knows about your abilities. Others will seek you out, and I doubt all of them want you alive.” Meaning, join me or you’ll most likely end up dead. Not much of a decision.

“Alright. I’m in.” I squint through the darkness, seeing Darkling’s green eyes gleam. “When do we start?”

COMMAS SAVE LIVES, PEOPLE
Wow Jay, that's where your mind went? *facepalms while shaking head* Whatever are we going to do with you? He's not going to want that for like another year, at least. Keep yourself in check, girl.

[Jay_Bluefire]

What would you think??? It's the middle of the night and a villain sneaks into your room!!!

[Locke Redwyne (night sys)]

True, but i mean, only like a year till he wants that, right?

[Jay_Bluefire]

I dunno I'm not Darkling-- WAIT I CONTROL HIM
Kato my mind............
He's my character and I don't know what he wants.

[Locke Redwyne (night sys)]

Dude you said it yourself that they were going to have evil babies
and he's a dude with a pretty girl
OF COURSE HE WANTS THAT

[Jay_Bluefire]

But the evil babies still don't happen until they're OLD ENOUGH TO GET MARRIED AND ACTUALLY MARRIED
Currently he's sixteen, and teenage minds, so probably.
Wait did you call me pretty?

[Locke Redwyne (night sys)]

Yes, you're pretty. Were you not aware of this? Also they're 14, right?

[Jay_Bluefire]

Guess I never thought about it...
She's thirteen and he's sixteen. We'll have to do some major time-skips at some point because most of the stuff is going to happen (at least for my characters) right now and when their kids are teenagers.

[Locke Redwyne (night sys)]

yeah for me it's now and descendants timepoint i didn't think much about the kids

[Jay_Bluefire]

That... made no sense.

[Locke Redwyne (night sys)]

I agreed with you.
Then I stated that my main changes are mostly now and at the Descendants time.
Then I stated that I haven't thought much about their kids.

[Jay_Bluefire]

Ok thanks my brain doesn't work =D

[Locke Redwyne (night sys)]
