TAG: @tab i have sworn TO DO VERY FOOLISH THINGS mini scenario generator selected Vaughn gets a contract to assassinate Tabitha.
Contrary to popular -- or those who knew of him -- belief . . . Vaughn was not a complete idiot. He had his moments, to be sure, but he was not as imbecilic as one may make him out to be. How else could one evade capture for so long? He was a pirate; wanted by the crown and authorities and yet, was still of this world. Unlike many others who had once held such a title and were now hanged for it. So when Vaughn was given a job, he knew he had to think this through. One of Slade's rivals -- or a man who owed him a great deal of debt -- wished to hire Vaughn to kill his sister to . . . perhaps send a message. Truth be told, Vaughn did not care about the details. So while he accepted the job, he would much rather consider his options. It was not morals or conscience that caused hesitation but rather . . . intelligence. Should he kill her, it may upset Slade and cost Vaughn business. For there was always the possibility he would track him down. But . . . if he did kill her, he would make coin quickly. Or he could perhaps exchange this information for more coin and thus, out one of his enemies.
Decisions decisions, and Vaughn had not reached any by the time he arrived at her husband's estate. Lurking in the shadows for so long certainly had its advantages for he was able to slip through without being scene, and weasel his way into their estate. A rather, lavish one at that. Vaughn wandered down the hall, poking in each room where the door was open. Risky perhaps, but it was his patience that caused him to take more drastic actions. He took hold of one of the servants and forced information out of him before leaving him unconscious in a storage room. Arriving at the room that was said to be hers, Vaughn saw it was open and decided to wait there. And, make himself at home. He slouched comfortably in one of the chairs, leaning back and propping his feet up on the footrest. Fucking nobles and their extravagance.
Unsure of how much time had passed, he finally heard footsteps and scurried to move behind the door. He hoped she was alone. It would be a pity if he had to kill her husband too. When she stepped inside the room, Vaughn acted quickly, emerging from his position behind the door, placing a hand over her mouth, and using his foot to kick the door shut. "Do not scream," he warned her. Taking out a dagger, he ran the edge of it against the fair skin of her cheek. Not enough to cut it, but enough to make a point. He held her against him, her back pressed against his chest and one hand having a firm grip on her mouth, the other, upon the dagger that he toyed with. "Are you going to behave?" He asked, a taunt in his voice but one that was sinister too, speaking closer to her ear. Apparently, he had made the decision not to kill her right away and instead . . . have a little conversation -- for now.

While there was a lot Tabby didn’t know nor understand about her youngest brother, she knew enough to realise he had some powerful, dangerous enemies — or, at the very least, he knew some dangerous people. She didn’t exactly see enough of Reuben to think it would have any impact on her life, but apparently she’d once again been too naive. The Slade name seemed to hold power, for even now she was married off, she was associated with her brothers more than her husband. She hadn’t been trying to escape, but it seemed like that would have been impossible, even if she’d wished to. People knew her name, knew where she lived, and that must have been how they ended up here.
It was hard not to instinctually scream, but Tabitha knew he wasn’t joking. If she did, she’d be dead, there was no denying that. If a man put a blade to her flesh, there was no point in testing him, no point in seeing if he really meant it. This wasn’t a game. He’d gotten into her house, past the household help, and it would be easy enough to dump her corpse on the bed for a maid to find later. The blonde could feel herself shaking somewhat, and she didn’t dare nod, not with his weapon on her cheek. She could only blame herself then, if it cut into her skin. “Yes,” she managed, rather meekly. “My children are along the corridor, I wouldn’t wish to scare them. What do you want?” While the ability to speak may have made it seem like she was just about holding it together, on the inside that felt far from the truth. She was hardly familiar with men like Vaughn, but she didn’t see how there would be any bargaining with them.

TAG: @tab i have sworn TO DO VERY FOOLISH THINGS Letting his question linger in the air for a few moments, he slowly lowered his hand from her mouth, prepared to cover it again should she start screaming. Instead, she agreed to his words to not scream, and spoke of her children. Questioning what he wanted. Ah children. It was so much easier to threaten a person who had children or a spouse. Well, a spouse that one actually liked. When one had so many they loved in this world . . . they had so much more to lose. And were willing to do anything to prevent that from happening.
"Ah, your children," he repeated, as if in thought over this revelation. "It would be a damn shame if something were to happen to them." He was here really for her, but . . . why not sweeten the deal a little. "How much would you say their lives are worth to you?" He asked, still not moving from his position of the blade by her cheek and his body right behind her. It would allow him to quickly react should she try to make a run for it . . . or try to scream. He had to be prepared for anything. A desperate woman was sometimes a foolish one. But, she seemed to have enough sense to cooperate. Hopefully, her intelligence would continue to be seen.

Screaming out for help was undeniably tempting, but Tabby wasn't stupid. She may have been naive, seen the best in people who don't deserve to be seen in such a way, but she wasn't about to risk her life. If it came down to being her or the children, then she'd risk her life without a second thought...but for the moment, hoping that they were safe, she was going to play it safely as she could. It wasn't every day there was a strange man in her chamber, with a knife held to her, and maybe there was no way out of this — but she had to hope that some part of him felt a shred of remorse, still had some humanity left. Surely even the toughest of men, on the outskirts of society, wouldn't harm an entire family, children and all?"Anything," she whispered, remaining as still as she possibly could. It was unnerving, having him keeping her there in such a way, but that was the whole point. Vaughn held the power, he could have killed her at any second, and she knew there was nothing she could do about it. Words were her only hope at this point, and if money was what he wanted, then she'd give him every penny they had. Her husband was no Duke or Earl, but he was noble, much like her, and they had plenty to give. For the sake of her kids, she'd be willing to live the rest of her life in debt. At least there'd be some life left to live. "Please, they are only children. I would give you everything we have if it would stop you from harming them. They are innocent." Technically, so was she, but that wasn't the point here. [attr="class","mizocredit"] [newclass=.mizocredit a]font:bold 6pt calibri;letter-spacing:1px;color:#b5d1f1;[/newclass]
