    Summary

    The sun rises over Oakhurst, warm rays glinting off the fresh laid snow blanketing the small town. The fields beyond its walls nearly seem to sparkle, blinding those who dare look upon it.
    It’s beautiful. Gorgeous, really, if only Apo could find it in herself to truly appreciate the sight.

    -

    Apo celebrates the Winter Solstice with the Militias whilst thinking about Cherri back home, and appreciating who she has now.

    Triumphant, Em pulls out and presents a sprig of mistletoe from an inner coat pocket, holding it up in the air over him with a terribly cheeky grin.

    Apo feels herself groaning, exasperated and amused, in time with Renhardt and Martyn.

    All Apo has wanted, since the day they arrived in Oakhurst, has been to go home.
    She's done unspeakable things in the name of going home.

    But of course Cherri couldn’t stay awake with her, because Cherri wasn’t there. She was another half a day's journey away, at home asleep in bed with their dog. What would she think when Apo told her what had happened in Oakhurst?

    Apo stared up at the moon outside her tent, which looked normal for the first time since this nightmare began. “I’ll see you soon, darling. I hope it won’t be for the last time.”

    It’d felt, for a while, like all she knew how to do was harm. In that crumbling town, constantly lashing out for fear of being hurt first, they’d thought they lost the part of themself that knew how to hold someone gently and whisper loving words—but of course, Cherri was all she needed for it to reappear. Cherri’s hands, soft and unscarred in hers, Cherri’s eyes, shining in the flickering light of the gas lamps, Cherri’s smile curving upwards, pleased and smug in equal measures.

    apo has a nightmare and cherri remains unaware of the truth.

    Between the blood loss and grief, Apo starts to understand. “No. No, you can’t- you can’t just lock me down there.”

    Summary

    If asked, Pyro would definitely say that living in Scott’s castle is good. It’s amazing, even—there’s cattle to eat, chickens to bleed, it’s grand and beautiful and really lives up to the hype, Scott’s got a wonderful eye for decorating and it shows—and he’s not only saying that because of the Nightly Affirmations! It really is a lovely castle! Pyro has passed many a late morning crouching in the shaded part of the courtyard and watching the blood fountain trickle! There are lots of bats to watch… he doesn’t have to eat anything if he doesn’t want to, even if he’s hungry…

    “I still don’t want to come out,” Apo says from within her room. Prison. Whatever. It’s her room, technically, but Scott said if she was going to sulk like a teenager over being turned she could stay in her room until her attitude improved, and Pyro knows how futile it is to try and work around direct orders like that.

    “Scott’s gonna be mad,” she warns him. “He’ll probably think the bats are from me, trying to escape again.”

    Pyro squeaks again, wordlessly conveying 'maybe he would think that less if you stopped trying to escape so much' in a tiny furry shrug.

    Apo is starving. Legundo tries to help.
    ---
    "Apo?"

    Apo whips around. Legundo stares back at her, his expression unreadable.

    "Are you alright?" He asks, his voice deceptively steady. Apo can hear how his pace quickens. His heart pounds endlessly against his ribs, like a rabbit caught in a trap. It draws Apo in like a siren's call.

    Skin tears as Apo curls her hand into a fist. She digs her claws in as deep as she can manage, the pain keeping her grounded. This is the middle of town, she reminds herself. Keep it together.

    "Just— getting something to eat." She forces out.

    Apo blinks, finally tearing her gaze away from the meat. Did— did Legundo just lure her here? Like some kind of— animal? She bristles with indignation and shame, and words bubble up in her throat—

    "I know, I know. Just come inside, please? I can help you. I have more." Legundo pleads, beckoning with the meat.

    —and all of it falls away as she catches the scent of blood.

    The flames dance in her eyes as she stares into the blaze. “They thought surely someone couldn’t be that stupid, and that I was being malicious or working with the enemy.” Apo laughs, once, flatly. “I don’t know if it’s better or worse that they figured it out before I even set foot near a judge.” Her voice catches on the last word. As if in slow-mo she curls in on herself as she chokes back a sob, tears pricking her eyes. “Oh god, they didn’t even need to put me in front of a judge.”

    The rest of them weren’t soldiers, and if anyone had to go out into the night, it was going to be Apo, so they’d left to deal with it- they’d find Scott and Martyn, send the both of them home, snap at Martyn more than they meant to, feel bad about it, and then remember that there were real actual lives on the line, and, just because vampires weren’t real didn’t mean that zombies, skeletons, wolves weren’t, and never apologise for it. It felt routine- as much as they hoped it wouldn’t be, because their heart would give out at some point if this kept happening for the next six months, they were pretty sure.

    The blood has long since cooled and congealed and layers of it are etched into Apo’s clothes and skin. She is covered in this reminder of what she’s lost and given up fruitlessly to bring it back. Yet the pain has not faded and she does not think it ever will.

    “I love you,” she breathes in cracked, broken syllables that drip with blood and tears she no longer has left to spill. “I love you, Cherri.”

    "So? Having fun on your little solo mission?" She pauses, as if she's expecting them to react to the fact that she has clearly deductible information. Apo's wearing a uniform, carrying a standard-issue revolver, and they're alone. When Apo doesn't do anything but blink, she continues. "Are you worried about the outcome? I've something for that, you know. Four emeralds, or two emeralds and one of your bullets, and I'll do a reading for you."

    A part of them wanted to curl up here and rot but they had already gotten blood on the carpet.
    So what was a few drops more?
    "Apo?"
    She cringed into the ground. Hearing the creak of the whisper quiet hinges, she sat up.
    "G'morning, Cherri. Did I wake you?" she murmured.
    Ignoring the etiquette of the time before the rooster crowed, Cherri spoke at full volume. "I heard you fall."
    "For you?" Apo joked wryly and without conviction. Studying the carpet, there were no visible bloodstains, but that was surely because of the reddish design.

    At that, Cherri scoffed. "From everything you told me, it was doomed no matter who was sent. What, you were sent to dirt and sticks, then had to wrangle the biggest group of idiots ever? You did a great job. You did so much for them." Under their breath they muttered, "Too much for them."

    Summary

    The blood moon rises over Scott's castle. Chickens cease their endless clucking, hopping onto perches to sleep and hope they aren't the next ones taken. Cow bones lie abandoned along the courtyard, discarded along with the bloodless husks of their owners. Bats flutter away into the woods in search of insects to eat. All the living things in the old Goldsmith Castle are there by force.

    Apo is a dead thing in the dark dreaming she's alive, and has nothing in common with them.

    She has a lot in common with Pyro, though. At the beginning, back before she made a devil's deal, they'd bonded over finding Truffle. That had been a beautiful time, a time when Apo had begun to think this might not be so bad. A time when her biggest problem was that her supposedly abandoned outpost would have tourists in it who wouldn’t shut the fuck up about vampires and Bigfoot, and she could send letters to Cherri without lying. A time when she could stand to send letters to Cherri at all.

    That was the first thing Apo had noticed since she had been turned.

    Her hands, the clothes on her back, the wooden boards beneath her body; it was all freezing.

    It made sense logically, they supposed; vampires don’t have a pulse, they don’t need one. No circulation runs through their veins, heart gone stagnant, blood nothing but waste as long as it’s inside a body, and that went for a vampire themselves.

    And Apo hated every second of it.

    The pig looks up at Apo, and Apo smiles back. They feel their fangs pricking at their bottom lip. Sweet things get eaten alive in this world. Cherri tried to teach her that; Scott tried to teach her that. They think they’re finally learning.

    “It’s okay,” Apo says. As if they’re reading from a script. They know their lines well; they’ve heard these before. “Truffle wants this. Truffle wants to die.”

    truffle's death, apo can't afford to think about anything but cherri.
