I'm weird. Skye's book of random one shots.

Don't you forget about me Darkling X reade

For @Katelynrose140

You sat in the Darklings tent, drinking a glass of Kvas. It wasn't your favorite, but so close to the fold the world outside the tent was depressing.

You received glares from various grisha. You were used to it. Ever since the Darkling started showing you affection, most other grisha hated you.

The one that hated you most was Zoya Nazalensky. She would always toss her hair over her shoulder and send you a glare. You remembered when you used to be somewhat friends. A tidemaker named Nadia had been your best friend about six months ago. Now the only grisha that liked you was Ivan, your brother, and (B/F/N) who was a healer. Well them and him.

The Darkling.

Your Darkling.

And you were his heart trender.

It had all started about 8 months ago.
You had figured out that you could control animals by manipulating their muscles. At that time however you could only slightly influence them, not control them.

Until one day by the lake. The Darkling was out observing the progress the grisha had made. Your brother Ivan was beside him as always, yet he didn't make a effort for the Darkling to notice you.

A little bird flew and landed about 30 feet away from you. You tossed your (h/c) hair over your shoulder. You stretched out your hands and took a deep breath. You slowly made the bird hop in your direction, however somehow it avoided actually coming to you. It was however enough to get the other grisha's attention.

"Look at that bird? Is (Y/n) doing that? "

"Yeah!"

"Its just going in her direction it's not coming to her. We don't know anything. "

You ignored the comments and put your hands down. The Darkling gave you a short glance. He stared for a minute and then turned towards Zoya of course.

You sighed. You where powerful, however without an amplifier your ability wasn't enough to get his attention.

Then shouts erupted.

"Look at the eagle! "

"Its huge!"

"Do you think its a amplifier? "

"There's a chance, should we get it?"

Ivan looked at you and nodded slightly. He knew. It was a amplifier.

Some grisha raised bows, where squallers got ready to take it down with wind, and the Tidemakers where ready to drown it with a rouge wave when it swooped down.

You took your opportunity. You raised your hands and focused on it. You looked around you, and then at the knife on your belt. It was grisha steel and was a family heirloom. It would do the trick. You propped it up between some rocks, so it was at a diagonal angle. Then you refocused on the eagle and took control. He dived towards you as grisha gawked. But he wasn't coming at you but the knife. He didn't stop or slow down. He slammed into the knife.

The lake was silent as the Darkling rushed towards you. "Ivan, this is your sister, (y/n) correct? " "Yes sir. "
The Darkling turned his gray eyes on you. "That was impressive. Even without a amplifier. Ivan get me a fabrikator now. " "Yes sir! " Ivan rushed off and the Darkling smiled slightly. "Well done. Now tell me (Y/n), how did you learn how to do that. "

You shrugged as you began to skin the eagle. "I don't really know. I've always liked animals and one day it was like, well I just got this feeling. And I guess the theory that a powerful enough heart trender could control someone through the brain came to mind. But I don't knowbwhy I went for the muscles instead. "
