McKensie and Lara
Torch grinned, laughing as he climbed up to the top and tried to grab him.Lexi laughed. "Yes you are." She teased. "An ancient pedophile has got me pinned to a bed. Sounds like some of my nightmares." She teased, laughing. "I am not a baby!"
Torch missed and James started to fall but then he shut his eyes tightly and disappeared before reappearing safetly on the ground, to stay it startled him was an understatement.Damon let her go and smiled getting Demtri since he was fussing and needed a diaper change.
Torch's eyes widened in astonishment. One second he thought he would be the cause of his son breaking a bone, and the next he was safely on the ground. "James!" He exclaimed.Lexi sat up slowly, her smile disappearing. "Im sorry Damon... I didnt mean it offensively."
James gripped onto Torch's leg his eyes as big as saucers. He was too shocked to speak yet and buried his face into his leg.Damon glanced at her "I didn't take offense love. Demi needed his diaper changed." He threw it away and bounced his little boy.
Torch picked him up and held him gently, speaking softly to him. He knew this was something he would have to talk to Mae about.Lexi nodded, relaxing. "Alright. Thanks." She said, smiling at him halfheartedly.
James held on tight around his neck and sniffed "scary..." He whispered finally being able to talk.Damon smiled at her and handed Demetri to her "he seems to be clingy around you."
Torch nodded, rubbing his back soothingly. "I'm sorry that happened." he said gently. "You're ok though. You'll be ok." He assured, deciding play time was over. He carried James back into the house. Lexi held Demetri and bounced him on one of her knees. "Oh I don't know about that. He seems just as clingy around you. He knows his parents that's for sure." she said smiling at their child and playing with him.
Mae was out of their room and was cooking dinner, she glanced up when they came in and was troubled by the look on their faces "what happened?..."Damon chuckled and nodded "I think every kid knows their mom...there's a bond, that is stronger then any magic or what not.
Torch sighed, setting James down on the counter where he started to inspect him to make sure he was really alright. "He teleported, to my understanding." He said softly, shaking his head. Lexi grinned, kissing Demetri's head. "I believe it." She said softly, looking at their child in utter adoration. "I'm so glad we got to keep him."
Mae frowned wiping off her hands and pushing his shaggy hair back "James? How did you know how to do that? Can you tell me what happened."James sniffed "I got scared I was gunna fall...I shut my eyes and was on the groubd..."
Damon nodded "it's the number one thing I'm grateful for...but I guess it's thanks to him...he just put himself back together..."
Torch listened to the account from James's point of view and sighed softly. "He shouldn't have that power Mae. Not yet, and many don't have it ever."Lexi shook her head in disbelief. "I still can't understand how. How a dead thing could just, bring themselves back to life. We must have one insanely powerful child.
Mae frowned "doesn't Damon transport? When did you get your abilities?"Damon nodded "I don't think I could even do that..."
Torch shook his head. "Not until I was 13. 13 Mae. He's not even three yet. He shouldn't have any powers at all." He clasped his hands together in worry. Lexi shook her head. "I don't think anyone can." She said softly. "What if he... decides to use the power for harm Damon? What then?" She asked softly, looking up at him with a slight fear in her eyes.
Mae put her hands over his and took deep breaths "hey...if he hadn't had them he'd be very hurt...I don't think it's going to be that much a problem..."Damon frowned "hey hey...our son wouldn't do that...I don't use mind for harm anymore, we'll teach him how to be responsible..."
Torch sighed and nodded. "I hope not. We'll watch him carefully." He promised. "I'm sure it's fine."Lexi nodded, trying to relax. "Alright." She agreed. "I hope you're right about that."
Mae frowned "what if London is developing quickly...they won't know how to handle it!" Damon nodded "that makes two of us..." He glanced down at his son who was gnawing on his finger.
Torch chuckled softly. "They're angels. I'm sure they'll be able to handle whatever she can throw a them." He assured. Lexi giggled a little. "He sure is cute though. I'm sure he'll turn out fine." She said, trying to assure both him and herself.
Mae sighed "what if we never see her again?..."Damon chuckled "us cute ones usually do...except Torch."
Torch shook his head, pulling her in for a hug. "Don't say that Mae. We will see her again. We will definitely see our baby girl again." He assured. Lexi laughed. "Oh you are mean to eachother sometimes." She chuckled. "But you're right."
Mae sighed and nodded holding onto him tightly "thank you for being my anchor right now..."Damon shrugged "we used to hate eachother and then we became closer then brothers."
Torch smiled and nodded softly, his hand slowly moving through her hair as he tried to calm her. "What am I here for?" He said, kissing her head. Lexi raised an eyebrow. "Really? What made the switch?" She asked, curious now. She hadn't known that Damon and Torch had hated each other once.
Mae sighed feeling her body relax and calm down she kissed his neck softly and pressed her hand against his chest. "What made you turn Torch?..." She whispered he wouldn't talk about it.Damon smirked "that's a story for another time...you need to get some rest." He pulled the blankets over her
Torch sighed softly. "I told you it was because I wanted to be different, because I wanted to prove myself, and well, because that was the cool thing to do. But that wasn't entirely true." He said softly, biting his lip. He shook his head. "But I'm not going to bore you with stories of my childhood." he smiled softly, moving over to pick up James. "I'm going to go put this little guy to bed."Lexi pouted. "Oh come on." She complained, sighing heavily. "You're giving me that now?" However hard she tried, she couldn't stifle a yawn. "I'm not tired." She protested, which wasn't true, but she didn't want to sleep.
Mae sighed deeply and finished up the dishes and played the food for Torch, she glanced to see that the study was open...and since he was in the nursery...she made her way inside.Damon smiled and played with her hair "uh huh...I know..." He kissed her head and crawled into bed next to her still holding Demetri.
((You can make her find out whatever you want about him, if you want :) I'm ok with you deciding on things in his past, because honestly I'm not picky when it comes to that :) ))Torch carried James into the nursery, sighing softly. His past was not something he wanted to relive in memories. He would tell Mae, if she wanted to know, but it was something he would rather avoid. He placed James down gently in the crib and smiles as he watched his son fall asleep slowly.
Lexi curled up next to him, blinking her eyes sleepily. "Just five minutes." She murmured, her eyes falling shut. She was asleep in seconds, her chest rising and falling slowly.
((I was hoping you would tell me :P let's brainstorm! What could she fine?))James grabbed onto his teddy bear and snuggled into his blanket but he missed his sister and it was lonely by himself. He smiled at his daddy "night daddy..."
Damon smiled and watched over her as he found an old journal record of his and read through it reliving his past.
((Well, we could either have had something horrible have happened to him, or he did some horrible things. Or both.))Torch smiled and brushed his hand gently against his son's giving it a gently squeeze. "Good night James." He said softly. "Sleep well. I'll see you in the morning."
Lexi slept well, one of her hands finding Demetri, who she pulled closer and cradled, her instincts and love showing through even as she slept.
((Both would be fun :) being in the past to accent the drama of the present!))James nodded and fell asleep quickly his body relaxing and he looked peaceful and sweet.
Mae found another door and frowned, there was a space for two pieces to fit into. She looked through drawers and blinked finding a very old picture of him with another girl...she was beautiful and innocent looking.
((great :) ))Torch smiled and ran his hand gently over his son's face, and then left him quietly, going downstairs once more. He ate the food Mae had left for him slowly, frowning then. Where's Mae? He thought.
Mae flipped the picture and found a piece of the door and a small gold key. She pocketed both and looked through the bookcase until she found an ancient manuscript and unlocked it flipping through the pages.
Torch frowned for a moment longer, but then figured she was just off in the washroom, or their bedroom, and would be back soon, so he finished his meal in silence.
Mae read through things that shocked her, at the end of the book she found a door piece and put the two together. A Phoenix burst from the door and attacked her she fell to the ground.
Torch's head shot up when he heard a thump from upstairs. "Mae..." He whispered. He leaped up and jogged up the steps two at a time, looking frantically in each room for her. He finally came to his study and his expression grew hard. He swore and ran in, motioning with his hand at the bird and it shrank back from him, obeying. It sat on his desk, quiet. Torch picked up Mae and immediately carried her out of the study, slamming the door with his foot on the way out. He took her to their room and lay her on the bed, checking to make sure she was not hurt before asking immediately. "How long were you in there." His voice was low, lacking emotion.
Mae swallowed and looked away from him, that voice was the same one that he used when she was chained to the basement. No love...no nothing. She handed him the photo and stared at the wall.
Torch looked down at the picture in his hands. A muscle in his jaw clenched and he gripped the frame so hard his hands started to shake. He put it down quickly on the dresser and his eyes flicked back to her. "I told you not to go in there." He said softly.
Mae swallowed "I know...but how can you love me and keep a whole room full of secrets...you locked yourself in that study and you just chip pieces off of me..." She whispered and shut her eyes.
Torch raked one hand through his hair and huffed, turning away from her as he tried to relax. Then he faced her again, coming closer to sit by her on the bed. "Some secrets are better left unsaid Mae." He said softly, pain flashing across his eyes for a second.
Mae swallowed "I feel like I don't even know you Torch...I know you but, you don't let me in...I need to be let in..."
Torch closed his eyes slowly, his hands clenching into fists. Torch had walls up that he never let anyone past. It had always been that way. Looking behind those walls was extremely painful for him, and letting someone in was worse. "Mae..." He whispered, wincing as he said it. "There's a reason I don't let anyone but Damon in that room. You've obviously seen some of the reasons why."
Mae swallowed "you trust Damon more then me...I'm glad to at least know that now...Torch, just I need to know, I'm sorry that I am a nosy wife but...your the only person I've trusted in a very long time..."
Torch grit his teeth. "No Mae. I trust you just as much. I just... Damon can handle my past... I don't want to hurt you with it." He said, feeling rather desperate for her to understand. "Mae, I... it hurts for me to think about it Mae. I don't want..." He sighed in frustration, not being able to explain what he wanted properly.
Mae put her finger over his mouth and just nodded, she knew that things would get messy if she kept at it so she chose the peace path. "Alright..." She let go and stood getting into her pjs, she was hurt but it would hurt more losing him because of this.
Torch slumped, holding his head in his hands as Mae left to get changed. He couldn't do this, he couldn't. His past had hurt him and those he loved enough before, and now it was hurting the love of his life. He got up slowly, tucking his hands against himself to hide how they were trembling. Leaving the bedroom, he walked into the washroom and slumped to the floor.
Mae turned and he was gone, she swallowed and felt the little part that was holding herself together crumble and she flew out the window quickly and into a lightening storm quickly.
The shaking grew worse and Torch winced. A shock of pain ran up and down his spine and he gasped. "Oh no... Mae..." He groaned. "Not now... no... oh gosh please no. I'm so sorry." He slumped to the tiled floor, his chest heaving as his body started to convulse.
Mae fell down her memory and nerves deadened, she closed her eyes her wings wrapped around her. "Alex..." She whispered before going unconcious.
Torch sent a panicked thought to Damon. It's happened. I didn't mean to. But I did. I hurt her. It reactivated the curse, Damon. You have to get Mae before... well. You know what to do with me when you find me. He groaned then, and the thought was cut off by a burst of pain. His body started to shift, growing and changing as he became his demon form. A dragon. But this time, there was no pupil or iris in his eyes. They were completely black.
Damon quickly got out of bed and flew out, he couldn't sense her and that scared him. He rushed to Torch's home and found him shifting up a demon "Torch...calm down! Stay...calm...you still have time." He grabbed a rope and pounced him down.
Torch reared and growled, shaking his head to try and throw Damon off. He threw his head back and roared, tearing up the bathroom as his wings started to flap to keep balance. His growl was completely animalistic. All rational thoughts had left his mind. He was relying on instinct, and instinct alone.
Damon chuckled "now I'm a pedophile...with such a baby wife."
