briar's ordering vegan cummies guys help--

I caved and sought out the great hawk(a monster boy this time thank god💀💀)and yk what. He's not bad.

BRO IS BABY GIRL MATERIAL😭😭😭 I WANT TO HOLD HIM AND SQUEEZE HIM AND LISTEN TO HIK SING ME TO SLEEP.

Ahem. Speaking of the winged love interest, how is their relationship with Celeste?👁️👁️

YOU MET ONE OF MY FAVORITE LIS! If only they aren't ALL THE WAY IN THE MOORS. It's very inconvenient to meet them and be kidnapped by them.

But they are so sweet... 💕 I'm glad you got him as a harpy this time. 🤣

{While kidnapped}

Celeste stared out of the tower, wondering if she should take another nap while waiting for the harpy lady to return. It's... Boring when she's alone.

She sighed, she knew this dependency she's developing for her kidnapper isn't healthy, but there's not much to do about it. Her vision goes vertigo whenever she looks at the long drop down the bottom of the tower. She's stuck for the unforeseeable future, and there's nothing to do.

She supposes she should count herself lucky her kidnapper is so... Kind? Miss Hawk has been considerate to bring plenty of human food for her since she's mustered up the courage to reject eating the lurkers... And she brings gifts. She doesn't force herself on Celeste as much anymore and... Reasons to resent the bird has decreased........ Celeste is also free from debt and responsibilities while here... It's almost nice.

The Great Hawk would smile so proudly while presenting her gifts, would sing to her, would wrap her in her feathers warmly. It's nice, it's nice, Celeste feels safe-

She touches her cross pendant and thoughts of blonde hair and honey eyes come.

"I..." Celeste swallows the lump in her throat. A breath, then two.

Hic.

"I want to go home." She chokes out, clenching her pendant like a lifeline. "I miss you so much, I want to go home."

(She developed Stockholm Syndrome in her time with the Great Hawk, and is grateful for that short-term peace she experienced there. If things were a little different, Celeste might have lived happily with the Great Hawk forever. Having someone that would smile sweetly at her, care for her, and keep her safe. She could live like that...

But she, while she barely had anything for herself in the town, she had Sydney. They had just gotten into a relationship, Celeste vowed to herself she'd always be by his side and protect him from this horrific town. And she was taken away from him, her shining light in life. She wanted to be strong while captive, but as days turned to weeks, a part of her was in agony.

She cares for the Great Hawk. But she avoids the moor as much as she can after gaining freedom. She never wants to be kept like that again.)
