Evieh groans as she knocks on Eves door louder, a frown on her face "EVE COME ON, YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T MIND-" she blinks when the door opens and she steps back slightly "Fucking final- what."
Red's eyes widen slightly as his meet hers. They stare at each other a moment.
"Is that a fucking hicke-"
"SEE YOU ANOTHER TIME EVE IT WAS A NICE TALK!" He yells over his shoulder, before laughing awkwardly and rushing past Evieh.
The red head shivers "Okay. Perfect. My ex fucked my brother" she mutters, pushing open the door and walking in, kicking it lightly so it shuts behind her.
She walks into the living room and crosses her arms, watching her twin who's watching Red leave.
"So, Red huh?" Evieh snorts.
Her twin screeches and spins around "I-I UH-"
"You don't need to explain, I don't really mind that much. It's your life, Eve. As long as he doesn't hurt you... But I know Red. I know he wouldn't-" she freezes.
Eve grimaces, watching her with hurt as he steps over, gently grabbing her hand and sitting her down.
"You... Said y-you wanted to talk?" he asks softly, crossing his legs and facing away from her after giving her some hair ties and a brush.
She begins brushing his hair "Yeah... I wanted to ask your opinion of... Madi."
"Madi? T-Thomas' daughter?" he questions worriedly.
Evieh nods "Mm... Yeah. I don't know if it's just me but... I don't trust her. Isn't it odd she was there when Amy and Thomas were taken- yet she didn't save them?"
Eve shrugs slightly, playing with his light blue silk robe that was wrapped around him tightly, his pale freckled shoulder exposed. He was such a pretty guy. Long silky smooth red hair and big crystal blue eyes. The only scars visible the old syringe scars on his arms and shoulder.
He was incredibly pretty.
"Really?" She stops, frowning at him "You don't think it's a little suspicious?"
"She... Must of kn-known that Geo and his boyfriend were in danger?"
"I-" she scowls "Eve, you shouldn't trust her."
"..." Eve slowly turns around, gently taking hold of her hands "Evieh... You know I-I love you, right?" he smiles.
"What?"
"I think you have t-trust issues" he begins "Red and Amy have said-ed before-"
"Said it"
"Said it before.. I-i don't wanna upset you but- I think they're right?"
Evieh says nothing, staring at him blankly, wincing slightly but she looks away.
"I... I know the stuff with Oliver... H-he was your best friend-"
"He was" she whispers.
Eve sits back, pulling his sister into a hug, letting her rest her head against his chest, squeezing her eyes shut as the happy, yet heartbreaking memories swirl around in her head.

"Really, Evieh?!" Oliver squeaks, stepping back behind Lanna who rolls her eyes and laughs.
Hudson frowns "Evieh, I think you should be careful" he steps towards the fallen down log over the falls, grinning "It does... Look pretty cool though."
They usually went there once a month to look around at the beautiful view, how far it saw. It was beautiful honestly.
The four of them adored the view.
Their friend, Reiki, wasn't there at the time he was at a party with his lover.
Evieh shrugs, spinning around causing Oliver to screech in worry.
"Look, if I was going to fall I DEFINITELY would of fallen already" she snorts, kicking one of her legs out.
Letting out a short gasp as she almost falls, but is caught by a mans strong arm, looking up to see Red.
"Oh shit-"
"EVIEH! I TOLD YOU, YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT!" Oliver frowns, quickly making his way over to the log, reaching his hand out.
Evieh rolls her eyes, but smiles lovingly at him, her cheeks growing red "Why? Jealous a hunk caught me?"
Olivers face went red, obviously caught out "NO... I... I'M WORRIED FOR YOUR SAFETY!" he rubs his neck.
Evieh pats the werewolf who caught he's shoulder, a smile on her face "Thanks, Red."
"..." Red doesn't reply, just nods and steps off of the log on the other side.
Evieh raises an eyebrow as she watches him leave, opening her mouth to say something, before gasping as Lanna takes hold of her.
"Evieh, Please be careful" she smiles sweetly, gently pushing her long red hair out of her face "I wouldn't want you getting hurt."
The redhead laughs cheerfully, before ruffling the woman's fluffy curly blue hair.
"I'm alright, I promise!"
Oliver gently takes hold of her hand, pulling her into a loving hug, lifting her up slightly as he holds her close, causing both of them to almost glow bright red.
Lanna laughs softly, but a small frown appears on her face "We should be heading back, it's getting late you know?"
"Hey Lanna, The river is iced over~"
"... Let's go"
Lanna laughs as Evieh snatches hold of her hand, practically dragging her off, her eyes not leaving Olivers.
"See you two back at the village!" Evieh yells, blowing a kiss To Oliver.
Who swoons and moves his hand to his chest happily, his eyes gleaming.
Hudson stares at him a while "... I don't trust you."
Evieh had heard that.
But she pretended that she hadn't as she rushed off with her best friend to the icy river.
She had yet to realise at that time that Lanna had feelings for her.

She was very oblivious with love, always had been. Very hot headed, but a lovely kind and happy woman.
It was as how much she had changed now.
She was an angry, tired and sad woman.
"Eve, he... He did love me. At first" she explains quietly, hugging him tightly "He did. I know he did. He told me-"
"Are... You sure he meant it?"
The red haired woman says nothing, touching the scar on her face.
"I know he did... I think... I think once he became aggressive was when... Dean was three. That was the first time he hurt me. That he hurt... Dean."

"Oliver you're hurting me-" Evieh gasped slightly as he shoved her up against the wall, holding her arms against her chest, pinning her in place.
"I didn't ask for this MONSTER, Evieh" he snaps, his eyes burning with anger "LOOK AT HIM!"
"He's our son- Oliver plea-" she winced in pain as he grabbed her face, forcing her to look at Dean, who was three years old at the time, screaming and sobbing, kicking his legs out, his arms purple and black.
"HE'S A DISGRACE. THIS IS ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT, EVIEH-" he slapped her, watching as she hits the floor with a thud, her hand shakily going to her bright burning red face, the pain stinging her skin, tears welling up in her eyes as she looks back up at Oliver.
"..." he said nothing for a few minutes, carefully putting gloves back on Dean and practically dropping him in his crib, causing him to scream louder.
Evieh pulled herself up slightly, so she was sitting, holding her face in agony.
Not only did it hurt physically.
But it broke her heart.
"... I'm sorry, sweetheart" he whispered soothingly, gently taking hold of her hands, resting them against his chest and inspecting her cheek, giving her a gentle kiss on the prickling burning sensation.
"... You just need to understand why I am angry, Evieh. It was your fsult he's like this my dear-"
He was interrupted by loud constant knocking on the front door.
He sighed and rolled his eyes, pulling himself up to his feet.
Evieh watched him leave and go to the door, before scrambling to her feet and rushing to the cradle, scooping up her baby boy and hugging him tightly, resting her hand on her stomach, hiccup sobbing.
Trying to keep it as quiet as possible.
She was pregnant at the time too.
So this really destroyed her.
Dean eventually calmed down, grabbing onto her long red hair that she pushed over her face to cover the handprint.
Until she heard the bedroom door open.
"Evieh?"
It was Lanna.
She didn't turn around to look at her though, knowing straight away that Lanna would know its Oliver.
She took a deep shaky breath "Ah, shit am I late for work? Give me a few minutes to g-"
"Evieh... Today's your day off. I was wondering if you wanted to come over mine for some tea?" Lannas voice had sounded worried, nervous.
"..." Evieh sniffled, clearly she had been crying "Mm- sorry I think I'm going to stay home today, Lady Lanna, I have a cold and I don't wanna get you sick!"
"I don't thi-"
"Mm, Lanna we should let her get some rest?" Olive smiled at Lanna, resting a hand on her shoulder.
The blue haired woman didn't say a word, her anxious feeling in her chest growing stronger.
But she stepped out of the room, glancing back one last time before leaving "Get some rest, Redhead."
"I will" Evieh replied.
Oliver stared at her, watching her turn around "I won't do it again."
Before he closed the door.
And a lock is heard.
Evieh breathed out shakily, running a hand through her hair, looking down at her baby boy.
"He-He does love us... Daddy just gets angry sometimes baby, that's all" she whispered, her hands beginning to shake, staring at her amulet.
But she shook her head, hugging her son to her chest, before she clambered into bed and just cuddling with him.
She knew her son needed her.

Eve looks horrified as he listens to Evieh tell him all these things.
"You... You stayed with hi-"
"You stayed with dad."
They go silent, regret in the air.
"... I'm sorry..." Evieh quickly speaks up, looking down at the floor as she pulls away, resting her hands on her knees, grabbing hold of the bottle of whiskey.
Eve shakes his head "I-It's okay... But-but that was different! I couldn't leave... Dad wouldn't let me or Mei le-"
"That's not different."
Eve winces, his hand moving to his chest, his heart aching from hearing what his sister had gone through "Evieh I... I...".
"I know... I'm sorry I don't... Mean to take it out on you, seriously none of this is because of you I just... Struggle... With my thoughts."
Eve bites his lip "Evieh I-I may... Not fully understand... But I-I know how it feels to be hurt by someone y-you love..."
His sister smiles sadly at him "... Us Smiths have a habit of falling for the wrong people, huh?"
Eve giggles quietly, sadly, "Mm... I-I understand... Also trusting family... That's another S-Smith problem..."
Evieh laughs and nods, both of them relaxing back into the couch, holding hands.
"Mm, yeah... I don't think Vlad has spoken to Rio in months, Rio hasn't spoken to me in weeks, Annie won't talk to anyone. Lily has only just found out Red is her father... Thomas is in hospital-"
"And Amy tried to kill you" he says bluntly, his eyes glossing over "She should just fucki-"
"Eve."
He snaps back, shivering and smiling worriedly at her "S-Sorry..."
Evieh shakes her head "Right now? I don't care... I just need a hug."
They wrap each other into a warm strong hug, protecting each other from their bad thoughts.
"..." Evieh sighs shakily "You know... I'm still shocked you managed to get Red in bed with y-"
"He paid me" he shrugs.
"Oh."
"Yeah. Evieh... Y-you're forgetting I'm a sex worker?"
"I... Was glad I forgot" she snorts, laughing as Eve whacks her with a pillow.
"Any romance in your life other than your work?" Evieh tilts her head slightly.
Eve blushes "I... I... Maybe... But... Nothing serious I mean I don't even think he likes me back so... I don't... T-think it matters... Much..."
"Well... You never know."
"I guess..."
They take a swig of the whiskey bottle, shivering and laughing at each other.
"You know, Eve? Lanna... Lanna was always there... I knew she was there" she moves her hand to her chest "... She'll... Always be there. Even if this disease kills me."
"Evieh..." he looks at her sadly.
She shrugs and takes another glug of the alcohol "It's fine I suppose. Life sucks."
