(    @villagesview-    )     (    merrilee  wants  to  scoff,  wants  to  snap  that   /   no  one   /    will  be  able  to  protect  her  daughter,  not  in  the  way  she  can.    she  wants  to  keep  mavis  and  madge  tucked  close  to  her  chest,  to  shield  them  from  everything  and  everyone,  but  she  see  the  look  in  belladonna’s  eyes,  the  shining  sadness  she  often  sees  in  her  own  when  she  catches  a  glimpse  of  her  reflection    )    do  you  promise?

/  ooooh this is. this hurts!!   maybe something on @/borntobleed- too?  :)

⠀ ⠀ [  maysilee  almost  laughs  at  her  sister’s  reaction,  like  the  rain  would  make  her  melt.  well,  she  is  sweet  as  sugar,  so  she  might.  ]  oh,  c’mon,  it’s  just  a  little  rain.    [  the  blonde  looks  outside  again,  longing  for  some  relief  from  the  stuffy  house.  ]    just  a  walk  ‘round  the  square  ?  we’ll  wear  out  raincoats  and  boots  ! 

(    @cagedcanary     )    (    merrilee’s  eyes  flick  out  the  living  room  window,  watching  the  rain  patter  lightly  against  the  glass,  before  the  snap  back  to  her  sister    )    not  when  it’s  all  wet  like  that  outside    :/

(    @cagedcanary     )    (    the  moment  she  feels  the  mattress  sink  next  to  her,  merrilee  all  but  burrowed  against  her  sister’s  side,  shoulders  now  pressed  tightly  together  as  their  hands  intertwined.    teary  blue  eyes  flick  over  to  meet  a  matching  pair,  a  mirror  image  that  could  disappear  in  just  a  few  hours.     merrilee  tries  to  memorize  every  detail  that  lines  her  sister’s  face,  every  freckle  and  dimple    )    always.
            
            
            
            /     uhhhhh no this isn’t five days late

⠀ ⠀ [  silence  fills  the  darkness  between  them,  she  can  feel  it  stretch  from  merrilee’s  bed  to  hers.  it’s  a  lie  she  tells  both  of  them.  nothing  will  be  okay  after  these  games,  the  loss  will  hit  the  district  harder  than  usual  but  she  doesn’t  want  to  tell  that  to  her  sister.  she  also  doesn’t  want  to  mention  the  pitt  that’s  been  forming  in  her  stomach  telling  her  something  bad,  something  worse  is  coming.  instead,  her  legs  swing  over  her  bed  and  she  makes  her  way  to  merrilee’s.   the  bed  sinks  with  her  weight  as  she  slides  in  next  to  her  sister,  hand  finding  hers.  ]    if  something  does  happen  …  we  have  each  other,  remember  ?  always. 

(    @cagedcanary     )    (    merrilee  nods  quickly,  it’s  all  she  can  do,  because  she  knows  that  if  she  even  dares  to  open  her  mouth,  the  only  sound  that  will  come  out  will  be  a soft  whimper.    even  if  they’re  both  okay  in  the,  there’s  still  going  to  be  four  kids  who  leave  the  district  and  never  come  back,  and  the  thought  of  that,  the  thought  that  it  could  be  one  of  their  friends,  one  of    /   them   /    is  enough  to  bring  merrilee  to  tears    )
            
            
            /    this is a very sensitive topic for me-

⠀ ⠀ well,  now  it’s  yours,  dummy.  [  she  watches  her  thumb  the  necklace,  the  pink  beads  complimenting  pale  hands  ]  we  both  know  pink  suits  you  better. 

(    @cagedcanary    )    really?    but  it’s  yours?    (    merrilee’s  hand  closed  delicately  around  the  necklace,  thumb  running  softly  along  the  beads    )

/  OH MY GOD????

*     PLEASEEEEE my favorite girls <3
