POV? Or Next? Or both, if you’re inclined

Yay!!! Thank you so much!! ❤ From this post about fic writing!

  • POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective

Everything was supposed to be ok. They’d beaten the bad guys, beheaded the vampires, foiled the evil plot. They were supposed to be alright. 

The worst part of it was the fact that, deep down, Vex knew it wasn’t. She’d known from that first night, when Vax had turned up messy and evasive, refusing to give them a straight answer. Of course, her gut instinct had quickly escalated into full blown nausea once they’d realised that Vax was missing. That hadn’t really gone away.

So now he was telling her everything: telling her the sources of the echoes and shadows of pain she’d felt in the ten days they’d been apart. Now she knew what happened. 

The part of her that was still a little girl in a ruined town wishes that she didn’t.

But her not knowing won’t stop it from having happened. So instead she wraps her arms around her brother, and she kisses his head, and they cry. 

  • NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get.

Percy is in his workshop.
