Thread: Cola's Candy Den: Journal | Samples

RE Cola's Candy Den Journal Samples This was a crazy long rp and is by no means expected. However, if you'd like to give this a shot I'm all for it During summer break only lol. It takes a lot of trust that your partner won't fuck up your character since there's a bit of godmodding to progress the story but it's fun c Vincent Conrad Harper the ecstatic carnival master Conrad shifted in his sleep, groaning as the sliver of smoke moved from under the bed and slithered up his spine, past his neck and stealthily through his nose. His eyes opened involuntary as silver outlined their irises before they closed once more. Conrad shuffled through the papers on his desk. All of them contained theories, models, and outlines of ways in which he could open the door to the Other Side, the ways in which he could see his Rosemary again. It was no use though for hes been at this for over four years and nothing worked. That door had been his only link to seeing her and having it close was like a slap in the face for even that door was Roses own creation so if it was closed what did that mean? Did it mean she no longer loved himwanted him even? Did it mean he was nothing but a plaything? He knew most children eventually grew out of their Wonderland, their best friend but he thought Rosemary was different. She was his and no one else. These thoughts were eating away at Conrad, causing him to think of things he would find shameful and horrific otherwise. If Rosemary didnt want him, what use did he have for Wonderland? In a quick motion Conrad swept the contents on the floor before setting his elbows on the table and running his hands through his hair, his shoulders tense. She left meshe left me here. Conrad sat there silently in the dark room, the only light being the three candles that hung on the walls. It was in this silence that he felt the first tendrils on wind brush over his skin, the arms and exposed neck. It carried the smell of roses with itstale roses. Conrad went as still as possible, even his breathing slowed as he dared not look up. Rosemary? He felt the brush of fingers against his neck before the sensation of soft kisses at his nape that caused him to sigh as he pushed back into the feeling. Rose. However as the hands continued to brush against his skin he began to notice things that made him stiffen at the person behind him. Where Roses hands had been warm, these fingers where cold, the lips different, the size. Lifting his head slowly he felt his chair disappear as the hands behind him wrapped him in the cool strong embrace of a man and lips whispered against his ear. Ive missed you Mr.HarperConrad. Conrad closed his eyes as he recognized the voice. Castiel For some reason Conrad couldnt stop his body from responding, from leaning into the others touch. It had been so long since he allowed anyone to touch him, so long since he's seen Castiel. But he could let his mind wander. He couldnt do this. He tried breaking free from the others grasp but found that even the little power he had in the absence of Rose was gone. However Castiel allowed him to turn and face him, his arms wrapping around Conrads waist forming soothing circles on his lower back. Come with me Conrad His voice was low and echoed in the space that they now occupied. Gone were the walls, windows, desk and floor. The two stood in open space with dark tendrils of smoke circling around them. In this dreamstate there was no time. Now Conrad stood in the past, the present, and the future. I cant. He rested his head against Castiels. No. No this isnt right . Shaking his head he pushed against Castiel who finally let him go. I must wait for my Rosemary. Castiel sneered in disgust as he stepped away, raised his arms, and let the fall helplessly. Why wait for a little girl who doesnt even want you?! Why kill me just to have her affections when I gave them so freely? Conrad shook his head in denial the signature smile he had replaced by trembling lips. He was wrong. It is because of her that Im like this, that you feel so much pain, that Wonderland is suffering. No, it was not her fault. There had to be another reason. Running shaking fingers through his hair and let them rest on his neck he took a further step back and Castiel mirrored his movements not letting him get too far away. Reaching out, he cupped Conrads hands and massaged them and his neck, resting his forehead against Conrads. You killed me for loving you. All I wanted was for us to be together. Conrad took in shaky breaths as he tried to fight back tears. My intent was never to kill you. I never wanted to harm you but you gave me no choice. I loved you Castielyou know that more than anyone. The silence was deafening, wherever they were did things to him, filled his head with doubt, with senseless things. Castiel kissed his chin and he felt himself sink even further. Then why? Why Conrad He felt the first sob rip from his throat. What do you mean why?! What would you have me do Castiel? I love Rosemary and anyone who tries to harm her is an enemy! Including you. I did my duty as her king. Even if I did love you the way youd wanted, you could have waited. You knew she would eventually grow old of this place. You knew I couldnt give you what you needed while with her. Why couldnt you wait? Castiel laughed, his breath fanning across Conrads flushed face. If Conrad was truthful he would admit that he loved the other more than ever let himself feel. If he was honest he wouldve asked the other to wait for him. He wouldve told them he felt the same but it was wrong of him to love both at the same time, it was unthinkable that he betray Rose so he buried those feelings long ago. So shes just a duty and had I known what I know right now I wouldve never betrayed you. Conrad started to protest but Castiel pressed a finger to his lips. But now your duty is over. Our Queen is gone and Im here, alive and well. I never stopped loving you Conrad and I would never leave youJoin me Conrad and we can have it all. Conrad looked up at Castiel for the first time, looked into his eyes and saw something that gave him pause, stilled his breath. Those eyes, he saw the way they shifted from yellow to black. This isnt Castiel, the Castiel he knew cared more about being with him than about the power they'd have. He wrenched himself from the others grasp holding himself. You are not Castiel. His voice shook with anger and betrayal. He was stupid to let his guard down. No, but I am a close second. Conrad watched as the other smiled and his skin paled, revealing the veins that lined his face. Who are you? Conrad looked at the other in disgust. Conrad dont tell me you have forgotten. I am all the darkness, all the temptation, all the betrayal you carry with you. Conrad shook his head in confusion. Hed gotten over his darkness with the help of friends. He was better now. The other laughed as if reading his thoughts. Do you really think you can be completely rid of me. You still have doubts with your Queen that not even your love can heal. Ill always be here Conradit is just a matter of time before I am released once again. Castiel raised his arms and suddenly the space was filled with images of Wonderland only everything was consumed in darkness, in gloom. All this could be yours if you just say the word. Bowing Castiel started to disappear. Well be waitingbut remember if I cannot have you know one will The scene before him disappeared as well and Conrad was encased in darkness once more. Suddenly he felt exhausted as his legs gave way under him, his body cold. He was like that for a while, floating in a space of nothingness before he saw the first flash of color beneath him. It was a pink ray of light, then a green one until the full color spectrum glowed beneath him. He wondered if this was what death looked like although it more closely resembled the aurora borealis. Thats when he heard Rosemary calling out to him. Conrads eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the light as he did so, his nose catching the scent of pancakes and the sight of a rosy cheeked Rosemary and breathed a sigh of relief. Youre here As his mind flooded with memories of both his nightmare and the day before, his eyes searching for confirmation before landing on Rosemary who sat at the edge of the bed looking at him with something terribly close to love. He moved his hand towards hers lacing their fingers together and noticed the difference in temperature. He lowered his eyes as he tried to fight the guilt he felt from that dream, remembering clearly the things hes said to Castiel, the things he long buried and the fact that he did still have doubts. Taking a deep breath he opened his eyes and shook those thoughts from his head. Rosemary wasnt gone, she was here and thats all that mattered. He sat up and kissed her fingers gently before picking up the fork and taking the first bite of food that she placed before him. Chewing, he looked at her and his eyes were steady as he swallowed. We need to talkafter the ball. There are things you should know, things I need to tell you, things I want to know. He looked down at their linked hands and frowned as he tried to figure out what to say. When you left there were things I did, considering doing that Im not proud of butI just want you to know that I am no longer that man. I hope to never be that man again. Conrads smile was sad but there was a hint of his normal self beginning to shine through. Conrad was shaken to say the least. Everything in his dream seemed so real. He could still feel Castiel. Still feel the nerves that he once had so long ago. He could still feel the distress and urgency to have Rosemary come back, but she was there now as his eyes kept reminding him.What was worse was that he could still feel the caresses on his arms, neck, and face. Now that it had made itself know Conrad could feel the darkness he thought hed overcome. He could feel its coldness residing in the pit of his stomach, mixing with the warm food he was currently ingesting. He let go of Roses hand only so she could get her own food but they ate together hand in hand. Her proximity made him feel sane again and he looked at her clearly now, noticing the small puff of her lips, something he was sure was a result from their kiss the night before. He lifted his index finger toward her bottom lip brushing whip cream from it as he tasted it and bit his lip in amusement. May I presume those luscious lips are the result of last night? He watched as she brought her hands up to her lips. Not long after there was a knock at the door causing both to turn towards the door. Alek walked through a straight line on his lips. Are you both done? He didnt give either time to respond. Good. Maidens, the Queen is ready. Alek clapped his hands and Fiddle and Della came through with three others. Conrad sighed and leaned forward to place a small kiss on Roses forehead. Ill see you soon Rosemary. Rose was dragged out of the room much like she had yesterday and Alek pulled the covers from a sulking Conrad. He didnt want to get out of bed just yet. We have less than an hour Mr. Harper and I pride myself on timeliness. The look in the others eye had him getting of the bed with in the second.
