“I didn’t lie to you. I think it was magic, to be honest,” Jac can see Meg still doesn’t want her there. ”I can’t fix anything, but I can show you that I was the kid you were talking to.”
Jac pulls away the clothes she’s covering up with to reveal the pentagram scar, along with things that look even worse. ”Didn’t grow up real happy. Don’ care really. I c’n show you, if ‘ou want.” She doesn’t know what else to say, except, “Stab me if it makes you feel better.”
“Magic?” Her eyes narrow more, if that’s even possible. “What, get on the receiving end of an annoyed witch?”
Meg raises an eyebrow appraisingly at the scars the blonde was displaying. Eh. She’s experienced- and inflicted- worse, though by human standards, she supposes the cuts must have hurt like all hell.
“And what would stabbing you accomplish?” she sighs, finally relaxing her hand a bit, though not a whole lot. “I’m not quite sure what you want from me now, though.”
Meg felt- annoyed? Ashamed? Probably a bit more of the latter. She’d shown a bit of humanity, for the first time in god knows how long, only for the young innocent kid before her to turn into a fully grown, capable person. Sigh.
Jac can see the disappointment in Meg’s eyes, and wants to move, leave the room, do something. She closes her eyes, breathing in, remembering she’d been through worse, but this was something new. Someone who wasn’t her father didn’t want her.
“I don’… I don’t know, probably. Tom’s missing, Dad’s dead, everything he ever pissed off is after me,” she breathes in softly.
Jac’s blood runs cold when Meg relaxes her hand slightly. Part of her wanted Meg to stab her, to just fucking end all of this. She wants to stop feeling, stop being a burden. Jac can’t see anything behind the tears she’s trying to blink back. When she opens her eyes, her vision is blurry. She’s imagining blood, gallons of it, pouring it out of her the way it did when she was young. All she knows is that she’s not able to keep going. God, she’s just nineteen, been on her own.
“What would it accomplish? Enough. What do I want? Whatever you’ll offer. A place to stay. Someone to trust. You decide what I get,” she says solemnly
Despite everything, Meg feels her heart soften just a tad. A small tad, mind you; not enough to act fully on it.
What she can act on, though, is a general piss-offiness towards hunters. ‘Cause just fuck scumbag hunters.
“Everything that your dad or brother ever pissed off is after you,” she clarifies, quirking an eyebrow. “Well then. I think it’s time to officially horrify whatever’s left of your father’s memory and have you work together with a demon.” Meg smirks. Aw, look. The chickadee’s crying, or almost. Oh well.
“…a temporary place to stay, I can offer, as long as you don’t mind a cramped apartment on the bad side of town. Somehow, though, I think you don’t have much of a choice.” She shrugged.
