McKensie and Lara
Lexi laughed softly. "Is that so?" She asked, shaking her head slowly. Torch nodded. "Of course I remember him! How are you doing Ash?"
Ash smiled, grunting a little beneath the weight of his brother. "Great thanks. Besides for the fat oaf on my shoulder." He said, grinning.
Torch turned then, worried. "What is it Mae?"
Mae shook her head wide in fear "someone took them! James and London! Someone is trying to get back at you!" She said tears springing in her eyes.Damon glared at him "watch it bum! Or you'll be the next one to almost die!"
Torch paled. Who could it be? Who would have wanted to get back at him so bad that they took his kids? Well... it could be any number of people to be honest. Torch hugged her. "It'll be ok." He promised. "Let's go back home."Ash laughed. "Alright! Alright!"
Lexi walked over to them, more than a little unhappy at being ignored for so long. "I'm heading back to the house." She said curtly, letting her white feathery wings appear on her back as she took off.
Mae took flight worriedly tears staining her cheeks what would they do to their sweet kids? They wouldn't hurt a fly! Damon frowned watching her leave and sighed not being able to follow her "I need to go to her..."
Torch flew with her, holding her hand. "Mae, what do you suggest we do?" He asked, worried for his kids, and her. Lexi flew back to the house quickly, not waiting to see if he had followed her. She felt ignored, and that stung. She had stood there for a good ten minutes, and no one even so much as glanced at her. Not even Damon. Lexi couldn't get in the house, as she didn't have a key, so she few into the backyard and perched on one of the higher limbs in the old maple outside.
Mae sighed "go through the walls of your past...find out who did this and why...and hope I get a vision if where they are!"Damon used his teleporting skills after being parched up at the country infirmary and started to climb the tree "isn't this how we started?" He gave a smile just wanting time with his Lexi.
Torch paled. He opened his mouth to argue, and then shut it again, just nodding slowly. It would hurt, he knew it, but he had to, to get his kids back. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and broke through the walls. Immediately he groaned as memories came flooding past. A sense of dread over took him and he slumped, falling out of the sky. Lexi looked down at him, watching him climb for a moment. "Maybe." She said, shrugging. She leaned against the tree and looked away again. She knew she was being stubborn, but after being away from him so long, she had expected more of a greeting...
Mae dove down and caught him quickly, she flew them back home and back into the study where she got him a glass of cold water and watched him worriedly.Damon sat on the branch with her and pulled her into a long embrace and kissed down her neck and chest that was exposed "I want to touch every inch of you..."
Torch was tense, curled up tight on the study floor. He shook his head back and forth as he watched the memories. It was like he wasn't even there, rather, he was reliving everything that had happened. His face was contorted in a million different emotions. It was hard to stay mad at him long when he was doing that. Lexi tensed and tried to resist what he was doing, but that didn't last long. She shivered and felt herself relaxing, even though she fought it. Soon she was limp in his arms. She gave in then, and smiled a little. "Please do." She whispered.
Mae just stayed by him and stroke his hair and rubbed his back trying to help him through it, it hurt to see him like that...and her children were gone...hurt...she couldn't tell him what she saw...Damon smiled and traced her features and kissed her beautiful lips "hi...do you come here often?" He flirted seductively and held her hands "I talked to my brother to try and get him to like you..."
Torch reached a spot in his memories he particularly despised. "No... I'm sorry..." He moaned softly, shuddering. "Please... I'm sorry..." He grew more and more panicked, until the memories stopped and he gasped, his eyes opening again. Lexi smiled and closed her eyes as he traced over her. "No. Actually. I'm new here." She whispered back, smiling. "Oh really? So he doesn't like me?"
Mae took his hand "shh hey I'm here...shhh...it's ok, breathe Alex..."Damon sighed "he doesn't like to be pushed to the side, it's always been me and him till I met you and now it's you and me and Demetri...I just had to key him know I still am his brother but I'm your husband."
Torch needed her reminder to start breathing again, and the second he did, his tension dissolved and he leaned against her, panting. "My.... My father.... he has our kids." He stammered, shaken. Lexi nodded, biting her lip. "I can understand that." Then she winced, "Damon, we're still not bonded...." She said softly.
Mae held onto him and shut her eyes trying to remember the figure in her vision but all she remembered was London screaming..."where can we find him?..." She asked softly gripping onto him tightly.Damon caressed her cheek and sighed "I can try to re-bond us...but you will always be my wife...that doesn't change even when I turn into a sissy angel."
Torch sighed, trying to gain the strength to sit up straight. "In... In London.... In the country..." He managed. He was slowly gaining energy back, but it was a painstaking process. Lexi's smile twisted with emotion. "Well I am glad of that." She poked him. "Angels aren't sissy, mister." She said, frowning stubbornly. Then she sighed and nodded. "It would be nice to be bonded again though, if that is possible."
Mae nodded, she pressed the bottle of water to his lips to help him regain strength. She tried to remember her vision but it was so dark...except for a small window above "they are in a basement..."Damon nodded "are so! I've never felt this...peaceful it's starting to freak me out!" He took her hands in his and relaxed "close your eyes love..."
Torch drank eagerly, grabbing the bottle in both hands as he slowly downed it. When he finally came up to breathe, he sighed, as the spinning in his head had stopped. "Alright. They're probably in the basement at his house."Lexi chuckled and shook her head, deciding to argue again after they had tried bonding. She held onto his hands and closed her eyes, breathing slowly to calm down.
Mae looked at Torch feeling more confident that he wasn't so weak. "Would he...do anything to them?" She asked slowly worried about London's scream.James fought against the chains on his wrists and looked at London, might as well meet his sister now "I'm James..."
Damon's eyes started to glow but not darkly as before, he found their souls and tied them in the tightest knot he could muster in his mind, he was breathing pretty hard the process exhausting now that he wasn't as powerful.
Torch winced, tensing for a moment before he nodded. He sighed at the same time. "I'm afraid so." He said softly. "He doesn't have boundaries when it comes to that." He whispered. London looked up slowly, managing a slim smile. "I'm London." She said softly. "You're my... brother... right?" She asked hesitantly. She seemed to remember something like that, but she wasn't sure.
Lexi sighed happily when she felt the bond again. The second Damon was done making it, her eyes opened and she hugged him. "Thank you." She whispered. "You are not a sissy." She added. "Being an angel doesn't make you a sissy." She smiled and rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Mae felt her inside crumble but also a passion burn from within, another storm came rolling in and lightening struck again and again with a loud crack. "What would he do..." She asked her teeth gritted ready to kill that man.
James smiled ecstatic that she remembered and he nodded eagerly "your my twin! I've been wanting to meet you forever but since you're an angel I couldn't."
Damon caressed her hair and smiled, he wasn't powerful but he had the one thing he needed and that was enough for him. "I'm still a tough man?" He asked looking down at her.
Torch gathered her hands in his and looked in her eyes. "Stay calm Mae, please. Worrying wont help anything." He said, as gently as possible. "My past doesn't matter right now. We just have to find our kids."London nodded slowly in understanding. "So then you're a... demon?" she asked, not entirely sure.
Lexi nodded, smiling. "Yes. Of course." She assured. "You're still very tough. I'd be scared to be on your bad side." She promised, closing her eyes and resting against him.
Mae nodded slowly and the storm stopped, people were used to freak weather by now. She held onto him "just tell me...so that I know what we are up against..."James nodded "yeah like dad and mum...they miss you, you know..." He stopped talking when he heard the trap door cream...the man was coming back.
Damon smiled and then stopped "Demetri! He's still with the nurse!"
Torch sighed and his hands relaxed, slipping away from hers. "He beat me Mae. He had a whip in his office. He's capable of anything." His voice was soft. "So we need to find our kids." He said urgently. London nodded, biting her lip. She was scared, and she could feel the tears filling up her eyes. "I want to see them again." She said softly. The door opened and her head jerked up. "I'm scared, James." She whispered.
Lexi's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my gosh!" She jumped up, her wings unfolding. She held a hand down to help him up. "Can you use your wings yet, do you think?" She asked.
((getting off for a half hour to an hour.))
Mae swallowed and nodded quickly unfurling her wings and shooting out the window, it would be a long flight and they'd need to rest half way...to get over the ocean safely.James nodded wanting to be brave for his sister, the man came towards London "I have a pretty little grand daughter..." James grabbed onto him with everything he had and biting his leg "leave her alone!" The man grabbed James roughly "fine you'll be the first."
Damon unfurled them the weight was so different he started to flap and found it easier then his heavy leather like ones.
((last post.))Torch followed her, gripping her hand like a lifeline. His mouth was set in a grim line as they flew quietly. He knew they had a long ways ahead of them.
London started to cry, stressed out by everything that was going on. She jerked at the chains around her wrists. "Leave my brother alone!"
Lexi smiled when she saw he could at least use them. "Ready to go?" She asked, taking his hand and lifting a couple inches off the branch as she waited for him to take flight.
Mae sighed and hated flying in silence "is this why you left your family?" She asked softly watching the way he held his mouth and the anger in his eyes.The man dragged him up the stairs and slammed the door. He took James to his office and first whipped him and then branded his soft skin with the family crest. "Now you'll never forget who you are!" He threw him back down in the basement James was shivering from the shock and trying to be brave and not cry.
Damon nodded and followed her testing the airflow and wind with his feathers. It was weird but at least they weren't puffy and white!
A muscle in his jaw jumped and he nodded slowly. "Yes." His voice was soft, as he tried to control his emotions. "My father isn't the most forgiving sort."London waiting in the dark for her brother to return, her fearful face tearstained. When James was thrown back down, London crawled over to him and leaned her head on his shoulder, not able to hug him because she was chained. She didn't mind that it drained her. She needed the comfort and she knew so did he. "It's going to be ok, right?" She asked. Already she looked up to her brother.
Lexi frowned. "Hey!" She retorted, shoving him. "Are you saying my wings are ugly?" She challenged, raising an eyebrow. Her wings were in fact, white. And when folded, they could look fluffy.
Mae sighed and squeezed his hand trying to be comforting "I think we all have family issues...it's what makes us demons right?" She brushed back his hair "we'll get them back..."James winced not knowing the answer to that, he was just a little boy and he was scared. He swallowed "I think so...mum and dad will find us..." He whispered and undid her chains with the key he stole and looked at his sister "I want to turn you..."
Damon shook his head "they are gorgeous for you darling...but on me it would look ridiculous!" He snuck a kiss "don't be grumpy"
Torch nodded, heaving a sigh as he tried to relax. "Thanks." He said, so happy he had her around to brighten things up for him, and level him out when he went wrong. London nodded, reassured that they would be saved. When she was unlocked, she was just about to leap at him and hug him when he said he wanted to turn her. "T-turn?" She repeated, nervous. "Does it hurt?"
Lexi grinned. "Nice save macho man." She teased, kissing back. "You'll look great no matter what kind of wings you've got. So stop worrying."
Mae smiled and frowned they had been flying for hours it seemed like "should we rest for the night?" She asked watching the sun go down.James shook his head "nuh uh, not for kids because we don't have to change everything, we are still developing or something like that..." He put their hands together "close your eyes"
Damon grinned a little and nudged her while they are flying "I'm proud of being scary I can't help it!"
Torch nodded, "Yes. We wont make it over the ocean in one go without sleeping. That's for sure." He said, swooping towards the ground. London eyed him nervously, and then nodded in agreement. "Alright." She said softly, closing her eyes.
Lexi laughed, nudging him back. "Well that much is easy to see." She rolled her eyes. "And all the while when you are scary you hate it because of me, and yet now, you're not scary and you want to be scary again!" she shook her head, making disapproving 'tsk's.
Mae followed after him and sighed finding a shabby run down motel and renting a room for the night. She sat on the bed and watched him sighing "he already has a broken arm..."James focused his little mind and spoke the words his dad had taught him, he felt his soul mesh with hers and vice versa. He focused and released breathing hard and falling down "you ok?..."
Damon chuckled "I'm a complicated man Lexi...I don't ever like to be inferior!"
Torch sank down on the bed the second they entered the room, exhausted. He nodded sadly. "I know. Don't think about it." He urged. London felt something strange happen to her, it felt like a fire started up in her gut. She felt her wings disappear, and new ones take their place. "Yeah.... It feels weird... but yeah... Are you alright?" She asked.
Lexi laughed. "I'm learning this everyday." Then she grinned. "Maybe I can beat you wrestling now..." She teased, as if thinking about it.
Mae sighed pacing "I can't stop...the vision was too...overwhelming and I couldn't see anything! Just heard their little screams..." James smiled and slowly sat up and hugged her tightly, he's been waiting his whole life to be able to do this and he couldn't care less about his injuries.
Damon frowned deeply "I think not! I haven't lost my muscles or strength!"
Torch pulled her against him and hugged her tightly. He kissed her hair and then whispered. "It's going to be ok. Tell yourself that, Mae. We'll get there in time to save them, I promise."London hugged him back, crying softly into his shoulder both from joy and the stress of it all.
Lexi was laughing inwardly to herself, but she couldn't hold back a soft giggle. "Really? I think this fathering and stress is making you..." She poked his arm. "Soft." She grinned. "I think I would win." She didn't think that, really, she just enjoyed teasing him.
Mae sighed "it's going to be ok..." She whispered to herself and pressed her face against his chest. James pat her back like his daddy did for his mom when she was upset "it's ok...I'll protect you." He promised and just held her, he hoped that man wouldn't be coming back for a long time...
Damon frowned at his arms, he was starting to believe it. He was a pansy! "I just need to work out again..."
Torch nodded, rubbing her back slowly, soothingly. "There you go." He nodded, squeezing her hand reassuringly. London nodded, feeling safe with her brother. "Thank you." she whispered, still shaken, but calming slowly.
Lexi shook her head in disbelief. "You are too gullible! I was joking you moron." She rolled her eyes. "You are not weak."
Mae was grateful that they had such a strong knit team, they were there for eachother no matter what. She sighed "I don't trust the sanity of that bed..."James smiled glad to have a sister, and a best friend "tell me about heaven?"
Damon smirked and held her while flying "oh I'm a moron now? My my band to think you'd be nicer to me..."
Torch chuckled. "I think you are right in that." He agreed, eyeing the sagging mattress with distaste. "But... it is all we have." He crawled onto it. "So we best be thankful I suppose. Join me?" He patted the bed beside him. London smiled and closed her eyes. "It's white, and beautiful, and everyone is happy all the time, and there is always music playing..."
Lexi allowed herself to be scooped up by him. She folded her arms. "I am being nice to you! I said you were handsome and tough. What more do you want?"
Mae looked around and found a bathroom towel that she sniffed to make sure it was somewhat clean and lay on it cuddling into his arms. She rested her head on his chest "early morning start? How long will it take?"James smiled a little, it sounded nice but not his taste at all "hell is cool, it's dark and warm, with a lot of cool architecture and everyone is really smart!"
Damon kissed her deeply and landed holding her close "you my dear are far too gullible" he whispered in her war with a smirk.
Torch pulled her close when she lay down with him. He was quiet for a moment, before nodding. "As early as possible. It will take a fair amount of hours, that's for sure. Who knows. We might be there in five if we are lucky."London nodded, smiling as he described it. "You'll have to take me there some time!" She said, excited to visit hell.
Lexi blushed, realizing that he had done the exact same thing to her, that she had done to him. She smiled shlyly and shook her head in disbelief that she would let him pull that one on her. "And you are far too charming." She said, a shiver running down her spine.
Mae nodded "I can control the wind to make our flight pattern quicker? Anything could happen in those 5 hours..." She shivered and snuggled in his jacket.James nodded "ok! I will, grandma lives there! She saved your life...you were sick being down there...cause you were an angel." He heard strange noises upstairs like a drill and electric buzzing he held her tighter.
Damon smiled and moved her hair back as they went and got their son, he had grown for sure since he last saw him! "Hey buddy!"
Torch nodded in agreement, his eyes lighting up a little. "Great idea." He agreed. "That would definitely make flying easier and quicker." he held onto her when he felt her shiver and he sighed. "I think its best to just rest for now though." He suggested.London nodded in excitement. She wanted to meet their grandma. "Really?" She asked, wanting to hear more. But then she heard the strange noise, and she tensed, whimpering in fear.
Lexi smiled at Demetri, kissing the top of his head. "You're so big!" She exclaimed. "We've been away from him too long, Damon.' She said softly.
Mae nodded in agreement and closed her eyes trying to clear her mind so she could sleep. But it was hard to when she knew her babies were in danger...James held onto her "I won't let him hurt you..." He promised and winced feeling the pain now from the whip lashes and burn. He couldn't let that happen to London...he wondered what the man was planning with them though.
Damon nodded in agreement and stroke back his wavy hair "can you say daddy?"
Torch kept rubbing her back slowly, gently, to try and calm her so that she could get some rest. He knew they would both need it for the long journey ahead.London nodded, believing his words. Somehow, they seemed to make her stronger. She felt like she would be safe with him. Even though that man was here, she felt that James would protect her.
Demetri nodded and smiled happily. "Yes I can, Daddy." He said promptly.
Mae felt herself melt into his arms and willingly fall asleep, her breathing even and peaceful.The door creaked and James held onto her scared, he wish he could transport but it was so random last time! "The pretty little girl is going to stay with me" he sneered. James fought him remembering what his dad taught right between the legs he kicked and then scrambled up the trap door looking for anything to contact someone.
Damon blinked, astonished wasn't a grand enough word for how he was feeling. His son could talk, he put his hands on his little shoulders "sorry didn't know you were this big..."
Only a few hours later, Torch woke up and rubbed his eyes sleepily. Sitting up, he yawned and stretched. "Morning Mae. We better get going again." He sighed. London was shaking, clinging to James when he suddenly hopped up and got past the scary man. London jumped up and looked around frantically for a way to follow him, but the man was between her and him.
Demetri smiled. "It's ok. I got bigger while you were gone." He explained, smiling.
Mae moaned and curled in his chest more "5 more minutes..." She mumbled still asleep. It was warm and she was exhausted mentally and physically, her wings were still aching.James grabbed her hand and pulled her up the latter, upstairs was a strange looking machine with two little cages he guessed was for them, he frantically looked for a kitchen knife to defend himself.
Damon was still shocked, James didn't even speak this well! He glanced at Lexi feeling very inferior to his genius son!
Torch gave her a sympathetic glance and nodded, caving. "Alright. Five more. That's it." he said seriously, slipping out of bed and walking to the bathroom slowly. London followed him as fast as she could, her heart pounding in fear. With wide eyes, she looked around the house for some way of escape. "What do we do now?" She asked, worried.
Lexi shrugged, just as surprised at how fast their son had grown. "Well aren't you just our little smarty pants." She said, smiling at him and scooping him into her arms.
Demetri grinned. "Can I go to school soon?" He asked.
Lexi looked over at him. "You want to go to school?"
"Yeah!" He exclaimed, excited. "I want to learn. And get smarter!"
Damon leaned his weight on his brother and slowly limped to the others and smiled "Torch you remember Ash right?"
