    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    She had never smoked a cigarette before, other things, yes, but never a cigarette. There was a sort of taboo that Lucero suddenly felt tempted to try. She knew that those who smoked often and for a long length of time had sickly lungs and throats. Sometimes it didn't take others long at all and...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    "Maybe I will have nothing to gain, but I have nothing to lose either." She had plenty of things she could lose, her own life and sanity, her sense of wellbeing, her morality. She could lose friends, people she's known longer and immensely respected, her oath, her rank, her community. But inside...

    Private Locked Out of Heaven

    Was that the wrong thing to compliment? Lucero could hear the tone, the thoughtful consideration and then the lack of cadence that seemed a little more lively than before. She wasn't sure if maybe the issue wasn't the compliment itself but just the fact that she had even done so. Lucero played...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    "O-oh." Lucero didn't pull her hand away, even after his announcement of being both cursed and possessed. She didn't question him why he had defaulted to calling himself a man. If Lucero were half hare she'd announce it, but if she were half dead? Perhaps not. She sucked in a breath and held...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    Oh, so he was waiting for her to die. Was that really so much better, Lucero thought, as his arm flexed just enough to remind her that when it came to strength he had more than her. The obvious fact was made all the more so when he started to pull his arm back to him, but it was slow and steady...

    Private Locked Out of Heaven

    Although he couldn't see it, Lucero beamed at him. Hla, she echoed the name over and over in her head, not wanting to say it incorrectly. A foreign name to her tongue that first learned to speak in South Illica. She would have pulled a stool up to their cot, but trying to find one while they...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    She paused in her persistent tugging for a moment, still holding onto his wrist with both hands but her grip had gone slack. She was surprised that he had even commented on it at all and wasn't sure if she should be upset over the possibility of what he had overheard or that he had suddenly...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    Her eyes followed after him, head turning as he ignored her bubbling frustration and walked further into her room as if he owned the place. Hadn't she told him that she could see things? Lucero wasn't sure if she had now. He made it sound like he had discovered it on his own as if she had tried...
  9. Lucero

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    The blind knight had heard voices outside her door but hadn't noticed that one voice in particular was one she both loved and hated to hear. Too soon, the door was pushing along the floor, just enough from HIM to peek his head into her room before letting himself in. The tiredness she had...
  10. Lucero

    Private Locked Out of Heaven

    Setting her basket down, she tried her best to give everyone privacy, knowing emotions weren't quite the same as knowing thoughts, and if Lucero was honest with herself, knowing the person's emotion never really helped when she was conversing with them. Innately, she knew that what she said was...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    "Anger? You think this is me angry?" Lucero gave a sharp bark of a laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. "The day I am angry you will think back to this day and call yourself a fool." Lucero cracked her nose back into place, pressing forefinger and thumb against it and make sure it was straight...

    Private Locked Out of Heaven

    Bundling up herbs for the infirmary was a good excuse to bask in the sun while feeling like she was working. The blind knight would bring each green stem to her nose and through smell alone could she organize them. She had gone into the herb garden and the surrounding forest to pick what was...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    "Why'd you get in the way?" Silas shouted, angry. "Are you okay?" Yinka asked, concerned, barely able to reach Lucero's ears over Kaif's wailing. Their words blurred together, voice melting into one, as Lucero raised her head, she felt dizzy enough that her stomach threatened to bring back up...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    Lucero's jaw dropped at his insinuation that she hadn't healed him but had instead engaged in passion with him. She whirled, her dark brown waves flying, tendrils catching the sun to flash a warm bronze as her jaw dropped in horror, brows first raised high to her forehead before lowering over...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    Of course he would bring up her hands to remind her how he had broken all of her fingers, pushed them to the back of her hand and spoke easily as she screamed and cried and moaned in pain. Of course he would bring up her hands when he had taken a bite out of her finger, had been ready to rend...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    "Oh, my glove." Lucero mumbled to herself, sitting back on her knees and putting the glove back on. She shivered as he said her name, every smoky syllable tingling down every single vertebrae she had. Shoulders raised high towards her ears, a horrible attempt in making her disappear. She should...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    With a huff, Lucero turned her head to the side. For most it would have been disrespectful, for Lucero it meant the opposite, craning her ears towards him to better hear him. She disliked the way he spoke down to her as if she were a child. Crossing her arms over her chest now, Lucero did her...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    "Because I am not like you," Lucero had scooted away from him the moment he had let her go. Like two cats squaring up on each other, now they had their backs against opposite walls, facing each other with fast beating hearts and heads filled with too many questions. "If I see a person that's...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    “Jódete!” She hissed out the curse as soon as his sharp teeth clamped around her finger, piercing and shreding her skin. Lucero had never been bit before while helping a person, the wild monster she had come across with Syr Horoth when they went to rescue the white harpy Shoyna had tried to bite...

    Private The Lonely Heart is a Hunter

    It wasn’t unusual for when someone finally came to that they ran off of instinct. It wasn’t unusual that if someone came to after a fight that they would swing at Lucero despite her healing them. When she had been younger, she had considered stopping, she had been the dam holding back their pain...
