GROTESQUERIE Episode 2
Daenerys and Drogon through the years
WHAT DID I JUST READ? the bloody scene was so visceral that my brain stopped imagining his actions lost in blood and more blood. But I'm not afraid at all, this man is already called a monster, he has to become a beast to defend his girl! His eagerness to destroy the intruder's body and the fact that the man didn't say a word when he saw him, he already knew he was doomed.
I'm glad our girl fought so hard, went beyond what her body would allow to defend herself. She couldn't let herself be violated again just because someone wanted to hurt her initial abuser. And in the end she stands up to stop the carnage and asks for cleansing? just WHOA.
Love THAT! You are an artist!

Character: Captain Hydra
Summary:Â a man marches into your life on a mission
As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. Iâm happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging â¤ď¸
You kick with your good foot. The man deflects it easily. He chuckles. Itâs like sand, gritty and dry. He hits your other foot so you shriek again and a surge of bile floods your throat. You swallow it back as you continue to thrash.Â
The man crawls up your body as he wrestles with you. He grabs your wrists as you fight to resist him. Heâs much too strong. As you bounce on the stiff mattress, a wash of futility overcomes you. Itâs exactly like before, when it was another man on top of you.Â
He chuckles as he brings your hands together and traps your arms in his grip. With his other hand, he reaches to his belt. He pulls free the snap on a sheath and slides free the long blade. You whine as you open and close your fingers desperately.Â
âPlease, you donât have to do this. Please. I donât know him. Iâm not... not his. Please, just let me go,â you beg through your teeth.Â
Heâs only amused by your pleas. He twirls the knife in his hand and admires the groove in the silver. His dark eyes flick down to you and he smirks.Â
âThat man doesnât know what suffering is,â he taunts. âYou want to have some real fun...âÂ
He lowers the knife and traces across your collarbone. Your heart pounds and your breath clouds painfully in your chest. He hooks it under the left strap of your night gown and slices through. He does the same on the other side.Â
He turns the knife the draws a slow line toward your throat. The skin splits around the metal and you cry out. He cackles and flicks it so it digs in a little deep. You kick the bed, huffing and howling with each throb of your injured foot.Â
Adrenaline floods through you as you tug on your hands and write. This canât happen. It canât. You survived this far, you wonât go down without a fight. Even if it is a losing one.Â
You manage to wrench a hand free. He slips and the knife cuts across your shoulder. You whine but ignore the gash. You twist and bite down on his sleeve. You pinch until you feel the firm muscle of his forearm. Tighter and tighter until you taste iron.Â
The crack across your cheek has you reeling. You fall back against the bed and throw your hand out. You grab onto the blade of the knife, the metal searing your skin as blood seeps out around it. You squeeze and throw all your body weigh in the opposite direction.Â
You dislodge the knife from his grip and it hits the bed. You donât hesitate. You grab it with your other hand and swipe at him. It deflects off his body arm but leaves a tear in his sleeve. You swing again and let out a beastly snarl. You miss and he hits your hand so the blade flies from your grasp.Â
You donât care. You hit him. Over and over. Even if it doesnât hurt. Even if it hurts you more.Â
âNoooooo!â You shout, âno! Get off!!! Fuck off! Fuck you!!âÂ
Youâre like an animal. All pain, all fear dissolves and thereâs only one thing left. Survival. Â
Your vision clears you see his grin. You hate him. You hurl your fist at him but before he can smack it away, he lurches backward. He flies off of you and hits the wall with a startling force.Â
Another rasping breath blows through the room. Deep pants through nostrils as the soldier stands glaring at the intruder. His fists ball up as he steps closer to the dark-haired man. You dizzily sit up and watch as it all happens at a speed slower than reality.Â
The other man raises himself on his knees but doesnât make it further. The soldier, the captain, whoever, whatever he is, grabs him by the scruff and smashes his face into the walk. Bone mulches as the dark-haired man croaks and spits up crimson and ivory.Â
The captain drags him by his neck as he searches the room. He finds the knife on the floor and throws the man onto his back. He plants his foot on his chest and looks at the blade. He turns his head to glance at you. His eyes are dilated and dull.Â
He drops his chin to consider the man on the floor. He slips his foot off of him and falls to his knees. He straddles the man, knees on his arms to keep him from resisting, and he traces along the manâs hairline. The man roars and gnashes his teeth.Â
The soldier continues the path around the manâs face until heâs sliced around cheekbone, jaw, and temples. He stabs the knife into the floor so it stands on its own. He runs his fingertips along the blood incision and you watch in horror as he peels the skin away from the bone. As he skins him with his hands alone, you cover your mouth and wretch. You canât look away.Â
You see every nasty detail. When the man has no face, his eyes are plucked out next with thumbs, crushed in fists, thrown down like gobs of chewed gum. Blood pours into his hair and down his neck. His breath is sickly and wet.Â
Then the soldier strips him of his clothing. He shreds it with the knife but he destroys the manâs body with his hands. He breaks every finger, bending them back until they meet his hand. He twists his joints around until the crack and snap, he buries his nails into the skin until he can wrap his grip around his ribs and tear them out.Â
The manâs blood stains the soldier. You see it slicken his black clothing, shining, stinking as the body of the intruder gurgles on the floor. The soldier doesnât stop. Not even when heâs dead. Â
You sit and watch him splitting sinew from bone, his eyes narrowed, almost hypnotised by the undoing of his enemy. You canât take anymore. The smell of it, the sound, you can even taste it. Â
You slide to the edge of the bed and stand. You whimper at the horrible pulsing in your foot. You hobble across the floor as the soldier is distracted in his work. You steel yourself and touch his shoulder. He winces as you lean on him but he doesnât stop.Â
His hands are red but with his blood as much as the man he murdered. He has cuts on his knuckles, a splintered bone juts out by his thumb. He doesnât feel any of it.Â
âYouâre hurt,â you point and gulp back a wave of nausea. âPlease, stop.â You bring your hand up to his chin and he finally stills. He lets you turn his head and he looks up at you. âIf you donât clean that, it will get worse.âÂ
He raises his hands and examines them. You tormented shoulder throbs and your foot radiates with heat. You gently touch his thick fingers. Â
âSafe,â you say to him. âLike you said.âÂ
He stares at your hold on him then softly moves his hands to take yours instead. He stands as his pupils shrink. His eyes wander to your shoulder and the blood dripping down your chest.Â
âWe both need to clean up,â you look down. âDonât we?âÂ
summary: Sarah was the sister he resented, Wheezie was the sister he adored, but even after years in the Cameron household, you still didnât know how Rafe felt about you.

The morning is going splendid. You spilled your coffee and the tea you packed in a thermos, you left on your counter. The realisation doesnât hit you until you pull up to the site. You huff and hang your head, gripping the steering wheel as you brace yourself for your caffeine withdrawal.Â
At least itâs dry. Mostly. As Thor forecast, the rain didnât come until the night. The steady patter kept you awake, along with that lingering displacement that never quite leaves you. Fatigue is another constant. Your new normal; sleepless nights and sleepy days.Â
You get out and set to work. Itâs all you can do. Itâs all youâve been doing. Just keep going. It doesnât matter how, just get it done, get through the day.Â
You yawn at your task, brushing digging, oh so gently wiggling the little form. Itâs almost out. Almost free. In your eagerness for some progress, you get careless. Your hand slips and the spearhead grazes our palm. Is isnât until the stinging splits your skin that you realise itâs a slash.Â
Damn it, you didnât put your damned gloves on.Â
Great, with the luck youâre having, youâve just contracted some ancient virus. You hiss and grip your wrist. Your adrenaline triggers your heart. You take a few breaths to stay calm as you watch the blood bead to the surface.Â
You curse and stagger to your feet. You grab the rag from your back pocket and clutch it in your injured hand. You grip it tight as you cross the site, careful not to tread to heavily, and you angle the fencing to sidle between two panels. Â
You clumsily pull open the car door and reach under the seat. You always keep an emergency with you. Itâs a rule of thumb for your sort of work. You never know what might happen. Bug spray, sunscreen, bandages, swabs, a hole trove of supplies.Â
You shake as the pain intensifies, thrumming through your palm. You come out and rest the plastic tote on the hood and sift through with your single hand. This is going to be awkward as hell. While you enjoy your solitary, it can sometimes be unsettling. What if something worse happened?Â
âRuff, ruff, rrrrruffffff,â the growlish yet high-pitched barking comes from up the mountain road.Â
You pause as he peek under the rag and peer up as gravel mulches. Another visit? Your work is so boring, you wouldnât expect him again. Thor appears as Thunder hops before him, spastic as she sniffs the ground in circles. He smiles and waves but you can only manage a grimace before you look back to your wound.Â
âMorning,â he booms as he scoops up the small dog and nears the other side of the car, âitâll be a sunny one.âÂ
âYou sure?â You look up at the greyish blue skies, than at him. Hm, the hue of above is rather similar to his eyes. Â
âI know so,â he assures you and tilts his head curiously, âwhy are you so grim?âÂ
You show him your hand as you lift the cloth from it. He lets out a sympathetic hum and sets Thunder on the ground. She runs over to inspect the fence as he rounds the hood towards you. As he gets closer, his size is even more obvious. Heâs well-built, you can see it even at a distance, but up close and personal, heâs almost inhuman in stature.Â
âYikes,â he offers his hand, âmay I?âÂ
âReally, itâs notâI can handle it.âÂ
âIâm certain you can. Only the bravest woman would come to these grey lands and sit alone in the dirt,â he jokes. âPlease, itâll be easier with two hands.âÂ
You relent, a tinge of embarrassment hot in your cheeks, and peel the rag away. You hold your hand out to him and he brings one of his large ones to cradle it. Wow. Heâs massive. The difference in your hands is startling.Â
âNasty cut,â he muses as he reaches over for the swabs youâve piled out on the metal, âbut it shouldnât need more than a snug wrap.âÂ
âThanks,â you look away, eyeing the dirt as his proximity makes you squirm. Â
You canât remember the last time a man touched you, especially a handsome one. Well, aside from Sam and Bucky but those were just hugs and usually ended in them arguing anyway. Youâve never been the most popular girl in the world and those men you managed to reel in didnât stay on the hook very long. You never really tried to keep them. You were always too distracted.Â
You wince as he wipes the cut with the alcoholic cloth. He softens his touch but holds your hand firm from beneath. He offers a rumbling apology as he focuses on tending to you. His intent is new to you. The way he looks at your palm holds more than any look youâve ever gotten from a man. Or anyone.Â
He crumples up the used wipe and takes another. Heâs thorough. You feel a shiver roll through you despite the warmth in the air. He trades the wipe for the roll of gauze and wraps the strip around your hand, hooking over your thumb and looping your wrist. He uses the little metal clip to pin it then turns your hand over, brushing his own over it as he grins.Â
âGood as new,â he announces, âthough I recommend you not use it too much. And perhaps a pair of gloves.âÂ
âYeah, I forgot. Long day.âÂ
âItâs nine in the morning?â He chuckles.Â
âYep,â you agree dryly.Â
âHopefully it gets better,â he says.Â
âYeah, maybe,â you agree dully and toss the things back in the tote. Â
He picks it up before you can and keeps it from your reach, âlike I said, you should take it easy.âÂ
âWell, thereâs work to be done,â you say as he moves to the open door and slides the tote inside. âWhat are you doing back here?âÂ
âAh, I let the queen lead the way,â he stands straight and closes the car door. He looks past you and your head perks up. Thunder is very quiet. âAs ever, she does not tread with caution.âÂ
You turn to find the chihuahua inside the fence. You jump in place and sprint over, clattering between the panels as you call after her. âNo, no, sweetie, be careful!âÂ
You chase her around where you were digging as you sense Thor watching from without. Great! You hope she didnât pee anywhere.Â
A sharp whistle pierces the air and Thunder stops. She sits in place, still wiggling, but doesnât move. You peek back at Thor and he nods. You near her and pick her up.Â
âSorry about her, she is a free spirit,â he tuts as you cross back to him. âI will be certain she does not stray again. My apologies.âÂ
Youâre taken aback by his sincerity. You try to remember the last time someone apologised to you and sounded like they meant it. Hell, whenâs the last time you even got an apology. You dip out between the grating and hold out the dog.Â
âI would hate to get in your way any more than we already have,â he hugs her with one arm and spreads his other hand over his chest, âwe will be on our way. I do hope the sunshine brings some brightness to your day.âÂ
âUm, thanks,â you shift on your feet and hide your twiddling fingers. âYou too.âÂ
âIâve already found my sunlight,â he grins even wider and blinks, ânow, Thunder, letâs go make a storm somewhere else.â He twists on his heel and lumbers off, âperhaps mother might put up with you for a time.âÂ
You stand just outside the fence and watch him go. A lock of his golden hair hangs loosely form his bun, dangling down his back, wagging almost like the dogâs little tail. He bounds over the lumpy ground and disappears behind the rock face. You look down and smile.Â
Not everything is so bad and you can see the amber ribbon limning the clouds. The sun will be there soon. Just like he promised.Â
đ
Thor comes back again.Â
Itâs a week since you cut your hand. Like before, you canât predict him. You donât hear him approach as heâs alone. You only notice him as he clangs something on the fence and lets out an âoopsâ. You pop your head up and look over at him through squinting eyes. Your forehead hurts from the expression.Â
You smooth out your face and stand, facing him. He wiggles a metal canister in his hand. The wind sweeps the strands around his square jaw as the sky pulses in shades of gray behind him.Â
âThought you might like some hot tea,â he holds up the thermos.Â
âOh, uh... you didnât have to...â you look at the sky and its quivering blanket. Youâve been pondering packing up for the last hour. âThanks.âÂ
âNot to worry, I was restless.âÂ
âAnd you always go walking through the mountains when youâre bored?â You wonder as you step around the markers in the dirt.Â
âI live here, there isnât very much else to do and it isnât a good day for swimming.âÂ
âSwimming?â You nod and click your tongue. âSounds like the life to me.âÂ
âMm, it can be rather languid when there isnât work to do,â he turns the thermos in his hands as he talks, âHave you tried cloudberry?âÂ
âCloudberry? Never heard of it.âÂ
He pokes the thermos between the panels and you take it. He pushes the barrier back into place between you, hooking his fingers into the links. You feel the warmth through the copper-coloured metal.Â
âYou didnât have to come all this way for tea,â you laugh.Â
âI wanted to ask after your hand. See how itâs healing,â he says.Â
âOh, uh,â you open and close your gloved hand, âjust a scab now. Iâm all good.âÂ
He smiles and keeps himself from leaning to heavily as the fence dips towards you. He coughs and realigns his feet, brushing back the looses strands around his face with a flick. He pushes his shoulders back and drops his hand.Â
âSo uh, you should try the tea. I put together the herbs myself, steeped it...â he bounces on his heels, âI suppose itâs not that impressive but it is good. Antioxidants, anti-inflammatory.âÂ
âWow, sounds like one of those superfoods,â you scoffs as you pull of your glove and tuck it into your work belt. You untwist the cap and steam wisps out. You smell the tea and blow over it. You look up and find him watching you. âYouâre starting to make me nervous, whatâs in it?âÂ
âJust tea,â he assures. âI canât lie to you, though. It wasnât my idea. My mother suggested it. Sheâs very interested to see what youâre digging up but Iâm afraid she canât do much at the moment.âÂ
âOh, your mother? Is she sick?âÂ
âShe is in perfect health aside from her dislocated knee. She went rock climbing and well, accidents happen, eh?âÂ
âYeah, sure do,â you show him your cut. âBut they get better.âÂ
A lull rises as you take a dainty sip. The tartness tweaks your cheeks and you scrunch up your nose.Â
âYou donât like it?âÂ
âItâs... different but not bad,â you say. âSo, your parents live up here too?âÂ
âMm, yes. Iâm afraid Iâm occupying their attic at the moment. I sold my home in Oslo, it was much too... cold.âÂ
You canât help but snort, âitâs Norway.âÂ
âAh, so it is. I should be used to it,â he agrees. âAnd how are you faring here? Have you adjusted to these dour lands?âÂ
âEh, Iâm trying,â you put the lid back on and turn it until tight. âThanks for the tea.âÂ
âMy pleasure,â he assures you. âSeems lonely work.âÂ
âI donât mind it,â you shrug and cross your arms, tucking the thermos beneath one arm.Â
âInteresting though. Have you found very much?âÂ
âUgh, a spearhead and some pieces of the shaft. A vase, cracked though. Some beads.âÂ
âBeads,â he echoes thoughtfully, âis this all confidential?âÂ
âNot really, you wanna see?âÂ
âVery much so,â he says.Â
âRight, uh, let me just...âÂ
You go back to where you were sat and plant the thermos in the dirt. You scurry around, overly aware of his observation, and go to the pin of your catalogued items. You find the bone beads and brings the little dish of them over to the fence. You hold them up as he peers between the links.Â
âThey have runes,â he intones.Â
âYeah, Iâve got the meaning of all of them except, er...â you pull out the single bead made of jade, âthis one.âÂ
He hums and considers it closely, leaning in.Â
âNot a rune. Thatâs a family symbol.âÂ
âOh?âÂ
âMy familyâs.âÂ
âWow, uh,â you lower your chin, âthatâs... I... kinda feel like a thief.âÂ
âCanât have cared very much about it if itâs down there,â he remarks, âyou know, my father has mapped out much of our genealogy. As much as he can. He might be able to assist with your research, if he can find the time. Bit of a hermit these days.âÂ
âOh, uh maybe, Iâd hate to bother,â you smile sheepishly, âerm...â you look around, âwhereâs Thunder? Awful quiet without her.âÂ
âSheâs keeping mother company. Iâve told her not to be too much of an imp, canât have her making it worse,â he shakes his head. âThe two of them are both stubborn as the other.âÂ
You canât help the twitch in your eye. All this talk of your family has you suddenly homesick. You fight not to crack and swallow tightly.Â
âAnyway, thanks again for the tea.âÂ
âYour parents must miss you,â he says abruptly.Â
âErm, yeah, my mom calls now and then but sheâs better as an empty nester. Dadâs got his head under a hood most days so...âÂ
âFriends? Boyfriend?â He wonders.Â
You arch a brow. Heâs not very subtle and yet his inquiry canât be anything but innocent, right? Youâre still strangers. He canât be into you. Not someone who looks like him. How long did you pray for Steve to even see you like that? This man is definitely not going to.Â
âFriends. Sam likes to pester me when I should be sleeping and Bucky... theyâre funny.â You sniff and gaze past him. You wonât mention that giant elephant in your head. The one you think about at night.Â
âLots to miss back home, it sounds like,â he breaks the silence before it can settle.Â
âYeah, but not every day you get to travel.âÂ
âAnd to a beautiful land,â Thor declares, âI hope one day youâll come out of the dirt and see more of it. Youâll be surprised what lays further up the mountain.âÂ
You smile and look down, âyeah, maybe one day.âÂ
âUntil then,â he backs up on his heel, âI wonât distract you any further. Enjoy your tea.â He turns and strides away, pausing halfway as you linger by the fence, âthe rain will be here around five so I would leave early, otherwise youâll be driving through it.âÂ
âRight,â your chest deflates just a little. You donât know what you wanted him to say but youâre disappointed, âthanks.âÂ
