nick had always been evil, he knew that the minute he uncovered his family’s oath to the sacrificial evil. What he didn’t know, however, was that an enemy shadysider could derail all his plans with a simple flash of a smile.

It could’ve just been your beautiful smile, but to nick it was all the times you’d smiled at him at camp nightwing, back in ‘78. All those memories, the way it ended, it’d all left him wanting more. But he had bigger problems, more shadysiders to hold responsible and give him what he’d like. ‏‏‎ ‎ in present time, Nick tentatively pushed open the mall doors, a neon blue light hitting his presence almost instantly. The door opened with a small ring of the bell, not usual, for a mall like this.

The graffiti however, was pretty normal, except for the fact the walls were littered with words like ‘suck it goode’ and ‘goode is evil’. The words made his heart drop to his chest, who did this? Who know what his family is up to? HOW did they know what his family is up to?

He pushed all those thoughts down and continued walking inside the mall, the sound of his footsteps being the only noise in the room. previously, he’d been called to the mall to retrieve his cop car that the two shadysider kids stole. But now it seems he has a lot of unfinished business in here.

business, as in, he spotted your lonesome figure standing in front of the hanging tree that haunted both your memories. The tree he restarted your heart at, the tree you lost your sister at, the tree his ancestor hung an innocent girl in the face of selfishness.

He didn’t know how to act around you in all honesty, there were so many unsaid words that remain unsaid from his awkward inability to get them out properly. He stood before you, a little guilty on his part, forcing the words past his lips “what’re you doing here?” he inquired, sounding more infatuated than anything else. after all, it was deena and josh who stole his car, so what landed you here, in front of somebody like him?
