oc & crossover friendly. trigger heavy.
soft extremities meet his beard, lucian dropping his gaze from the sky to look to her resting below. she knew him too well by now. ❛ no… i am sorry. ❜ this was their time away from their lives and here he was, allowing his thoughts to cloud the moment. ❛ they brought new slaves in today. did you see that? it should not be long before they’re all turned. ❜ that was all that his kind was becoming… slaves.
her expression falters at his words, but sonja keeps her hand in place and attempts to smile despite the severity of the situation; anything to comfort her lover.
❛ do not be sorry, my love… but i did see. just — we need time, then we will be able to get them all out of here. i promise you that, lucian.
❜ her voice is soft and inviting, the woman still trying to comfort him.
❛ you DO trust me, don’t you?
❜
oh sorry then! i saw you are open about it and i haven't seen in your rules that you payed for the icons ( i must have spaced! ) but when you make your own icons i'd be really really happy if you made them for public use if you want to <3
don’t be sorry, love!! the current rules i have on my blog have been taken from my other blog so i still gotta edit them to perfectly fit sonja xD but i’ll be making sonja and selene icons on my own very soon so i’ll DEFINITELY post them for public use!! again, they’ll be 125x125, so i hope that works for ya! ♥
“Of course not.” He reassured her, not wanting to cause her to do anything to him because of any risk. He wouldn’t let anything like that happen to her. He felt like he already knew her despite never having met her before today. He wouldn’t let anyone find her, even if it killed him. This woman was very important, and everyone thought she was dead, and perhaps it was better if it stayed that way. He rubbed the back of his neck. “I’m sorry for bursting in here like I did.”
she takes immediate comfort in his reassurance that he won’t say a word of her existence to anyone after he leaves, her stiffness faltering and her lips parting slightly.
❛ thank you.
❜ is all the once death dealer says, even giving him a mild smirk. she doesn’t know michael well, not as well as he knows HER, but it doesn’t keep her from trusting him. if lucian had done so, then she wouldn’t question the situation too much.
❛ it is not your fault. you had no reason to know i’d be here… and i hardly own this safe house.
❜ a soft chuckle follows, sonja approaching the hybrid slowly before stopping only a few feet short.
❛ your mate is selene, yes?
❜ she’d heard much of the death dealer, for selene had been her replacement, in a way.
He asked out of reciprocation and so he would know who to watch out for in the future. Relieved that she decided to lower her sword instead of running him through with it, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself. This part of the woods was known for its silence; there were no owls hooting, wolves growling, or…anything, really. It felt almost eerie, and he wondered how she could stomach walking alone at night. But that was none of his business.
❛ — sonja. this used to be my home.
❜ as if he’d believe her, for it would mean the woman is much older than she looks. nonetheless, she lifts her chin and turns her head to look upon what remains of the castle she’d once inhabited before she’d been CONDEMNED to death. with a sigh, she turns back to the young man before her. sonja says nothing just yet, however, instead thinning her lips and pursing them, as if challenging him to say something else.
fingers sprawl along porcelain shoulder, undoubtedly supposed to be laced with scars… but her blood changed that. her species changed that. breath tickling the shell of ear as his frame shifted, comfort was discovered once again. ❛ sonja, ❜ he merely murmured, silence having filled their latest minutes. ❛ aren’t the stars beautiful tonight? ❜
she feels her body relax further under his touch, sonja’s bright blue hues hooding over as she relishes in the lycan’s presence.
❛ they are…
❜ though her eyes had been closed, she’d looked long enough at the sky as they’d made love. shifting beside lucian, though, she settles on her back so that she can marvel at the sight if him.
❛ but that is not all that is on your mind, is it?
❜ the vampire inquires gently, lifting a hand to his cheek so that thumb caresses flesh slowly.
meeting the other’s gaze is difficult at first, for it’s odd for sonja to look at someone and see herself so much in them. that’s why viktor had chosen selene, after all. her resemblance to his own daughter is UNCANNY, to say the least, and in many more ways than just the physical. finally lifting her head to look directly at the other vampire, sonja speaks.
❛ have you told the others of my survival?
❜ she inquires of the elder, for sonja has been in hiding in one of the few remaining safe houses of the eastern coven.
“It wasn’t on purpose, I promise.” He cracked a momentary smile, before it dropped and he breathed out a heavy sigh. “All the lycans think I’m dead after they slit my throat and bled me dry once, so I’ve been trying to stay out of their line of sight by staying in safe houses like these.” He told her, trying to keep his mind off of his mate. He knew Selene figured he was dead as well, which was what hurt him most of all. He couldn’t show himself to her, not now.
what he speaks of is quite horrible, for sonja can’t imagine the torture. however, she’s relieved that no one knows of his whereabouts or that he’s here, for it can only further ensure that she is not found either.
❛ what do you plan to do after you leave here? you will not tell anyone of me, will you?
❜ sonja isn’t sure what she plans to do now, for her future hadn’t included being seen by anyone, let alone the hybrid that had helped kickstart the war once more. it seemed as if betrayal was always right around the corner where her father was concerned, for he’d tried to harm selene, a woman much like herself in nearly every way, for the exact same reason he’d condemned his daughter.
“My home. It is on the other side of the fortress.”
He repeated his earlier words, feeling as if he was getting cross-eyed from looking at her sword. It was sharp, no doubt, and he didn’t move. He didn’t want to cut himself on her weapon; his sister had told him to stop being so reckless. Thomas swallowed the lump in his throat and finally looked at the woman again. Her eyes were a brilliant blue, and he squinted, unsure of what he was seeing.
she’ll slowly lower the blade before sheathing it back under her cloak, bright gaze never wavering from the male’s. silence will follow, however, for sonja is still deciding whether or not to simply let him go or keep him here.
❛ what is your name?
❜ words are spoken much more gently now, posture not as stiff and defensive as it had been mere seconds previous.
Her BETRAYAL stung like any other. She was the one he loved the most, above his own life. Yet to know she willingly mated with a BEAST brought bile to his throat. He had killed others for far less.
And yet, he COULDN’T.
Water dripped down the walls of the dungeons, and he moved past the cells, silent. Not even the Lycans within would have noticed his presence, but she might.
“Why.”
A single word, hissed through barely broken lips, as he stared at the child he called DAUGHTER. New life was pulsing within her womb: an abomination in his eyes. A loathed legacy. Her child. His grandchild.
“Tell me why.”
though she hears her father’s approach with ease, she refuses to react. her response is even delayed, for his own betrayal stings just as much as hers does to him.
❛ and why should i do that, father?
❜ the vampire challenges, sonja hardly believing the elder deserves what he’s asking for. her gaze is dark as she meets his, her plump pout thinned as she waits for an answer.
— i am not affiliated with rhona mitra / the underworld series, nor do i claim to be any way involved. i'm simply a huge / longtime fan!
— NO godmodding. please & thank you.
— drama & hate free blog.
— MULTI-VERSE/SHIP. this means that sonja's relationships are separate from one another, even if the verse name is the same ( unless all muns involved agree on a specific kind of relationship ).
— [ SHIPPING ]: i ship sonja & CHEMISTRY. i will say that i have a particular soft spot for lucians, though ( bc lbr that ship is beautiful ). i play sonja as STRAIGHT, but given the beautiful sexuality of this series and the vampires, pre-lucian sonja may be more willing to engage in intimate scenarios with men or women.
— oc children ( may ) be accepted, depending on the link between sonja and said child.
— { types of writing preferred }: chat, novella, text, and one-liners. I WILL NOT write w you, most likely, if you purple prose out the ass. there's a certain level that i will take, such as a few bigger/more elaborate words being substituted in place of basic ones, and some characters REQUIRE such talk, but otherwise... just no. if it's not necessary, just don't. it's not cute at all, and is actually quite annoying.
— { types of threading preferred }: icons & formatted text, though i don't mind if you use gif icons! and also, NEVER feel pressured to match me, either in format or length. furthmore, PROPER GRAMMAR & PUNCTUATION IS APPRECIATED IMMENSELY.
— { in regards to starters }: unless i feel very strongly that our characters will hit it off, or if i'm not feeling lazy, i might make a starter for you once/if you follow me back. however, most times i don't make starters. moreover, FEEL FREE TO MAKE ME STARTERS! i will answer asap, and honestly i LOVE getting random things thrown @ me.
— IN REGARDS TO ASKS, feel free to send them! i love getting and answering them. however, DO NOT REBLOG ASK POSTS! if you'd like to continue an ask, simply insert it into a separate post so we can continue! ask reblogs just sorta annoy me, the look of them & how they can be rather hard to read at times??
—( I. LOVE. DUPLICATES ). though i've had rocky experiences with duplicates in the past, i absolutely adore writing with others of my muse. i will say that i am a bit picky in regards to that, though, for i want to feel like you are truly devoted to writing sonja and that you understand her! that sounds harsh and whatnot, but sonja means a lot to me, so please just keep that in mind, babes!
— blog is completely current w/ the series, including blood wars!
— mun/muse 21+
— this blog will be EXTREMELY nsfw heavy. that includes gore, sex, drugs, violence, etc. i will tag all of that as "tw. *trigger*" so for instance "tw. drugs". w/ that said, i personally only have a few triggers, but i'll only state them if they happen to come up.
— fandoms i'm willing to rp with/am knowledgeable of: underworld, ahs, twd ( up to s3 w/ random knowledge through now ), marvel, btvs, spn, lost, hemlock grove, bates motel, the x-files, and probably a few others. just ask if you're unsure!
— all icons used on this blog are mine, but were made by me, as well as my friends HERE and HERE! do NOT use them or claim they're yours!
— i will not have many exclusives, but what such a thing entails with me is that i roleplay exclusively with their portrayal of a character, and they roleplay exlusively with my portrayal of my character.
— i promise i'm not a total douche like my rules sorta make me sound. i'm really nice and easy going, but i just want to make sure that i can enjoy myself while on this blog!
— if you've read all of my rules, send me "goodbye, my love."
( takes place any time before / during the beginning of 'rise of the lycans' ). sonja is an elite death dealer, protecting her coven from williams' pets. as part of the council, along with the elder viktor ( her father ), her place in the coven is among the highest ranking. she feels little for the werewolves she kills, but does not despise the lycans that so dutifully watch over them in the daylight hours.
( takes place in the midst of 'rise of the lycans' ). the love between sonja and lucian must be kept a secret, thus the vampire is forced to pretend it does not exist when around her own kind. however, she truly hopes the best for her lover, trying to help him find freedom in any subtle way she can. though hardly subtle, a union of the bloodlines is what sonja hopes will bring the species together.
( takes place towards the end of / after 'rise of the lycans' ). sonja's love for lucian has been exposed, viktor disapproving of it entirely. her pregnancy has also been revealed, for which her father condemns her to death. following the events of the movie, however, sonja survives and manages to go into hiding. read biography for further information.
your name is sonja, and you're the daughter of the grand elder, viktor. your mother died in childbirth, but your father adored you. you're trained to become a death dealer, a warrior built to slaughter the werewolves that dare threaten your home and coven. it's an easy life, all things considered, and you love what you do.
" I AM QUITE CAPABLE OF LOOKING AFTER MYSELF. "
you fall in love with a lycan; his name is lucian. your father adored him, too, but in a different way than he did with you. your father claims to love the man as his own son, but you know it is not true. still, you fall in love with lucian, but it must be kept hidden. it's easy at first, though pretending to despise him, to care so little for his well being, hurts. you both know it's for the best, but it gets harder when your lover is sent away; cast out. condemned.
" FATHER, I LOVE HIM! "
you plan on running away with lucian, but your father learns of the forbidden love before you're able to. he locks you in your room, telling you he'll deal with the lycan on his own. you're fearful, of course, but there is still hope. you have people that can help you escape without being noticed, or so you think. it's upon escaping that you're opposed by your own kind, fought nearly to the death by those you trained alongside. in the end, however, you're faced with your father. he does not hold back in fighting you, but you hold out hope still. you're pregnant, a union of the bloodlines, you tell him, but your father is disgusted. he sentences you to death, forcing your lover to watch as you take your last breaths.
" GOODBYE, MY LOVE. "
you die, you know you do, burned at the stake. but you aren't really dead... you wake up disoriented outside the coven walls, tossed out like trash. yet you don't mind, though you aren't sure how long it's been since your lover watched you pass before his very eyes. you run away, trying desperately to remain hidden in this world; and you succeed. centuries pass, no one learns of your continued existence, and you think it's for the best. stories still reach you, though, stories about a hybrid, the death of your lover, the corvinus bloodline, and a child. you decide it's time to come out of hiding. you have nothing left to lose, but much to gain, and you only hope for the best; there will always be hope.
( my explanation for sonja's survival comes back to the corvinus strain, as do many of the stories in the series. marcus is the one that saved viktor, and i imagine blood was shared between the two at one point or another to quicken healing or to simply strengthen. because sonja is viktor's daughter, the blood was passed on to her. she died, yes, but the corvinus blood has worked many miracles, and sonja was no exception. she does not know this, however, and if asked how she's alive she will have no answer ).
