《Pistols and Petals - TH》•11•

I sit in my office, doing more work on trying to find a weirdly missing Amelia.
There's a knock on my door.
"Come in" I say and the door opens to reveal Olivia.
"What a special surprise, you knocking" I joke. It's always almost a big deal when she does.
"Umm Tom, what happened last night?" She asks me, sitting in my office chairs that made her look so small.
"You got really drunk and I brought you home and had to force you to go to sleep" I say.
"That's it? Like that's all you and I did?" She asks.
"Yes, why?" I ask.
"Nothing" she shakes her head.
"Olivia" I say firmly. "What's going on?"
"And you didn't leave me alone with Harrison or anything?" She asks and I shake my head no.
"My eyes were on you all night. Tell me what's going on" I say.
She moves her hair to behind her shoulder to reveal some dark hickies on her neck and collar bone.
"What the fuck?" I say.
No one fucking did that to her until after she went to bed.
"And then.." she stands up and lifts her shirt, showing some across her side and on her hip.
"A-and there's.. um" she gets all uncomfortable.
"I need you to tell me darling" I say.
"There's hand marks on my ass" she mutters and I feel heat rising inside me. I'm fucking pissed.
"I don't know if anything more happened.. I can't remember." She says sitting back down.
I pick up my phone and call Harrison.
Soon there's a knock on the door and haz walks in.
"What's going on?" He asks.
"Please take Olivia to her room, I don't want her walking alone around these dicks" I say and he nods without further questions and takes Olivia out of the room.

The men walk in and I start asking questions.
*olivias pov*
I think haz got the gist of what was going on so he didn't ask any questions. Instead we just sat in my room as he told me crazy stories about the bar fight he had last night.
"Yeah then he tried bringing his friend into it, who doesn't even know how to fight, so I call over dean who's twice his size-"
"Oh no" I laugh.
"And we just take them out!" He says.
I get a foggy memory of last night.
I kind of like them thinking you belong to me
They're staring
Yeah.. pretty girls have that effect on people
I feel a heat rise in my stomach remembering how tom called me pretty girl.
"You and tom definitely put on a show last night" he laughs.
"Yeah I'm starting to remember" I laugh, shaking my head. "We were both pretty drunk"
"Nah he wasn't, you? Definitely. But not him" he says.
Memories of last night invade my head again.
My door opens and I figure it's just tom, I keep my back turned and keep trying to fall asleep.
A hand grips me and pulls me to the other side of the bed and someone's lips meet mine.
Not toms.
"Stay still lovely"
"Don't fucking hit me"
"Dumb bitch"
And a face pops in my head.
My eyes widen and I jump up.
"I know who did it!" I say, haz being completely confused asks.
"Did what?"
"Let's go to toms office" I say.
"He doesn't want you in there" haz shakes his head.
"Either come with me or I'm going alone, you know you can't stop me" I say and he groans.
"Fine" He says standing up, and following me down the hall.

I walk in the door as toms in a rage on anger, that softens when he sees me.
"Back to your room I'm not done here" he says.
"I-I know who did it" I say, avoiding eye contact with any of the men to the right of the room. Tom walks over to me and haz.
"I remember" I say and he places his hands on my arms.
"Who darling?" He asks.
"I-it was Bret" I say and I can see visible anger plastered across Toms face.
"He didn't fuck me or anything, b-but I think he would have if I hadn't punched him in the face" I say.
"Sir she's lying!" Bret yells.
"Shut the fuck up" tom yells at him, and he listens knowing full well tom won't hesitate to kill him. "So you lied to me when I asked how you got that fuckin bruise last night? You know what lying to me means?"
He stays silent, knowing it's better to be quiet then try and talk with tom when he's angry.
"Did he hit you, degrade you? Anything else I need to know?" He asks.
"He called me a dumb bitch" I say.
Tom turns to the line up of men.
"Let Bret be a lesson to you all. I made it clear that This girl." He pulls me to him. "Is not to be looked at, talked at, or touched in any inappropriate or degrading way. Let alone fucking manipulated when she's drunk in her own room."
He looks down at me and then to haz.
"Take her out of here, I don't want her to see this" he says and haz nods.
"What are you going to do?" I ask, and he gives me a small smile.
"Don't worry about it darling" he says and haz grabs my hand, pulling me out of the room.
"Haz.. What is he going to do to Bret?" I ask.
"Well Tom doesn't play these games when he cares about someone" haz says.
Tom cares about me?
"And when it comes to something as serious as last night... he likes to make sure that it can't happen again"
He tells me without fully telling me.
I just nod, not actually wanting to know what's going to happen.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
