Johnathan never met a girl like her.


Of course, this is what they all say when they meet a Lamia. Those that walk away unscathed anyways.
Her name was Rosemary, and when Than looked back at it, he would laugh at the irony.

Than could describe her to you, if you wanted. When he closed his eyes, he could picture her perfectly.
She had hair like honey, with a slight wavy at the ends, eyes like the clear desert sky. Freckles across her checks, precisely placed as if it was drawn on by a careful artist. And yes, that last bit. A smile warmer than an Arizona summer. How could he not been drawn to her? He tells himself over and over. How could he not be drawn to her. It wasn't his fault. It wasn't his fault.

Than had spent his life in the desert in the middle of Arizona, where he was born and raised and knew close to nothing outside of. He lived a mostly normal life, quiet and home-schooled, in a house surrounded by rosemary plants. He was a faithful, obedient, good child, never got into trouble, always listened to mom and dad. His mother was a school teacher, his father a mechanic, his older sister was a cynic.

Than is not a cynic. He is a painful optimist

At a young age, Than's sister, Shannon, was diagnosed with chronic leukemia and was destined to spend her life in hospital beds. Because of this, Than decided he wanted to be a doctor instead of inheriting his father's mechanic shop. At least then, he would have an excuse to be by his sister's side. Still, he helped his father in whatever way he can around the shop. Cause medical school was expensive, man.


Johnathan never met a guy like him.

His father's shop gets a lot of pick up trucks, a lot of junkers that has been burning away in the desert sun for decades.There aren't many guys that drive in with a black vintage Ferrari and some how still looked unhappy with his life decisions. Even less who just leaves it in the hands of a car shop in the middle of nowhere and walks away into town.

And what kind of name is 'Cross Walker' anyways? Than remembered his father roll his eyes at the blonde man as he walked off. Must be fake. Car must be stolen. Don't associate with people like that, Jonathan, his father told him. You don't know what they are up to.

Almost as if his father's word was a sign, when he was walking back from the grocery shop at dusk, he stumbled across Cross, lying in an alley way, bleeding from his chest, his hands tightly clutched on to a sprig of rosemary he had grabbed from their front yard. He refused to let Than call the hospital or the police.

While watching Cross bleed out on the floor, he thought about what his father had said and his medical teachings. With only a small bit of hesitation, Than grabbed Cross (carefully) by the shoulder and (carefully) dragged him back home to his parents, ignoring all protest from both parties. He forced him to stay until the chest wound healed or he told him how he got it. Neither was likely to happen fast.

It was at the pharmacy, when he was gathering supplies for Cross' wounds, where he met her. She said her name was Rosemary, training to be a nurse. Inexplicably, Johnathan was charmed. She asked if she could stay with him for the night, he said yes. How could he refuse a girl like that? He introduced her to his parents and then Cross walked into the room. That was when he found out she wasn't a girl; In fact, not even human.

Johnathan wasn't quite clear on what happened next. Vaguely, he remembered watching the beautiful girl with honey-colored hair transform into a monster. Vaguely, he remembered being slashed by long black claws. He remembered Cross taking out a knife and the smell of burning rosemary. He remembered...he tried not to remember anything else.

It was Cross that dragged Than out of the fire and wreckage that was his house. Cross later told him that he had to pin him down to the ground in order to keep him from running back into the house, that he kept on screaming for his mother and father. Than doesn't remember that at all.

After his parent's funeral, he transferred all his schooling funds and grants to his sister's medical account. It wasn't enough, but for now it will do. He introduced his sister to Cross, told her that they decided to become traveling fruits salesmen. Of course, his sister believed none of it.

He left with his father's truck, the only thing left of his family's possessions, and $45 in his pocket. Than couldn't stay there anymore and use his parent's money, live in the desert that they had raised him in. Not after what he has done.

Cross and Than found Raina. After watching her fail to hunt Archnes for a while, they decide to give her a hand.

Than's sister, Shannon, plays the violin. Than plays the fiddle. OvO

He has a photographic memory. He uses it to mesmerize all the useless things tho. ;v;

In his truck he has a mechanic's kit, medical kit, a giant wrench, lots of fricking fruits, a baseball bat and ball, sketch books of his wonderful drawings, a fiddle and a small fire extinguisher. There is a rosemary plant on the dashboard.

Than's truck is covered in drawings of his road buddy, Cross. OvO

Prompt 2: Your car has broken down on the side of the road. It's a clear five miles before you find help in either direction, and it's started to rain.

Than liked the rain. It was a sign of new beginnings and renewal and it made the air smell so clean afterwards.
Than was ok with his truck breaking down. It was an old gal, anyways, even with its reworked engine. And fixing broken cars had always been a fun challenge for him. It was like a 100000-piece jigsaw puzzle just waiting to be solved.
And he didn't mind really, because he wasn't alone. He looked over at Cross, who was siting in the passenger seat, scowling up a storm.
Than smiled at him. "We been so busy lately that I haven't gotten the chance to draw your face this week. Aren't you glad that we have the time now?"
He took Cross's frown at him as a 'yes'. He took Cross grabbing his sketchbook as he took it out and then flinging it against the windshield as 'double yes.'

Oh well. At least Raina had a new car. Yeah, they could just drive up to the nearest motel and-
As Than was thinking about it, Raina's sedan pulled up, sputtered and died on the road next to them. He saw Raina look over to them with a sheepish smile and shrugged.
"Well." Than sighed. "At least all the fruits are getting a nice shower."
