McKensie and Lara
Demetri heard a knock, and he was going to ignore it when he recognized the desperation in his voice. So he stuffed his bag under the bed, ran to the door and unlocked it, and then ran back to the bed, throwing himself on it so his father couldn't see his tears. "Come in." He mumbled. Torch hugged her gently, holding her against him. "We are together." He assured gently, kissing her forehead. "I love you more than anything."
Damon sighed and sat on his bed and rubbed his back "Damon I love your mom more then anything in the world, and I will find her one day but she said I need to be watching you and your sister...please Demetri I can't handle much more...we'll find her but please don't leave..." He beggedMae smiled and plated the food she snuck a kiss and sat down "when is our anniversary of us meeting?"
Dem curled up tight, crying softly. "I want Mom." He whimpered. "Ill watch Taylor." He said, determined. He sat up and looked at his dad, his face tearstained. "Ill watch Taylor while you bring back Mom." He said seriously."Tomorrow!" Torch exclaimed, smiling as he sat and started to gobble down the food she had made. "Crazy that its been a year... and thanks for the delectable food, ps."
Damon sighed and slowly nodded "alright Dem..." He was drained and his heart was broken his son didn't even want him around. He tried to hug him but Demetri ignored it "love you son..." He quickly left and spread his wings out trying to figure out where she would be.Mae nuzzled him and smiled "the best year ever! That's what I'm here for honey!"
Dem waited until his dad had left to start sobbing again. He loved both his parents. But he was scared, scared because for a minute, he thought he wouldnt ever see his mother again."Even from lightyears away on another planet, Lexi's now much stronger core could feel Damon's pulsing back on earth. It made the cold cell and even colder chains on her wrists and ankles bearable. But it also made the pain in her hear overwhelming. Tucking her wings around herself, she curled up and cried.
Torch smiled, kissing her cheek. "We should hire a babysitter and go do something special tomorrow night." He offered.
Damon thought about what Lex said and started flying higher than he knew was safe for him, he broke the atmosphere and started to get fuzzy. But he had to keep going, his son counted on him! He started to lose conciousness when he got closer to the moon "Lex..."Mae pursed her lips "not when James is in the hospital...I want to take care of Zach..." She sighed "I'm sorry just a worry wart mom..."
Lexi felt Damon's presence start to grow stronger... but that was impossible... unless... Lexi let out an unearthly shriek, tugging and straining at her chains, which only succeded in cutting her skin. 'No!' She thought to him. 'You'll die!' She didnt know if he could hear her, but she had to try.Torch nodded and raked a hand through his hair, feeling rather guilty. "Alright. We can just have a supper at home then?"
Damon was slowly losing sense of anything, his cells were starting to split and come apart as if he was made of dust. He had to keep going though! He trudged through it finally catching her scent before his world went black.Mae caught his hand and held it to her cheek "I'd give anything to just have time with you...especially on our special day...but there's just too much...I want to be at peace and be happy on our date..."
Lexi was panting, her lungs raw froms screaming. Damon was killing himself. She could feel it. She couldnt allow him to die like that. To die looking for her. So she bashed her hands against the metal walls of her cell, breaking her thumbs. Then she could slide her hands out. She broke the chains on her ankles and charged out of the cell, buldozering over everyone as she tried to get out. Eventually security caught up to her and she was sedated. She was chained to a wall this time, so that she couldnt move at all, her wings even strapped down.Torch nodded, kissing her cheek. "Let me know a day when you think you'd be free to do a little something and ill be thrilled." He promised.
Damon was floating unconcious and slowly disintegrating closer to the elusive planet that held Lexi captive. He landed in a field of some sort but it wasn't made of grass it was made with beams of yellow light.Mae smiled "you always make me feel like a girl in highschool Torch...all giddy hoping you ask me to the prom!" She frowned getting one of her visions her eyes clouded over "Taylor and Demetri are orphans..."
When Lexi gained consciousness she immediately groaned. From the sluggish state of her brain, she knew they had drugged her to keep her from escaping again. She slumped and started to cry, unable to brush her tears away. She hoped desperately that Damon was still alive.Torch smiled and shrugged. Then he tensed as tight as a bowstring, blood draining fro. His face. "But that means...." he gulped. His chest constricted. "What happened to Damon!?"
Damon woke up groggily barely alive, the only thing keeping him alive was the energy from the yellow light. He tried to get to his knees but crumbled back down. He saw a shadow of a figure come towards him "...help" he wheezed.Mae swallowed "I didn't see that...I don't know Torch! But we have to get those kids out of that house! Demetri can't take care of Taylor she's a newborn!"
The man had elven ears and wings of sheer light, his eyes slightly catlike, just like Lexi. He bent down and healed Damon instantly, recharging him with energy. "You must go before the rest of my kind finds you here." He said insistantly.Torch looked stricken, but he nodded slowly, taking off. He went to Damons house and scooped up a protesting Dem, as well as grabbing Taylor, before bringing them both back to Mae. Then he just held his head in his hands.
Damon felt a strange power when he was healed "you must make me look like your people...I have to find my love!" He said desperately "my son will never forgive me if I come back without her...he hates me now."Mae was shocked herself she sat by Demetri "when is the last time you saw your parents Dem?" She had to figure this out...only if just for closure.
The man nodded. "Very well. But be quick, and then leave." He waved his hand, disguising Damon.Lexi's mind finally caught up, still slow because of the drug. Damon was here! She could feel him. She gasped for joy, tears stinging at her eyes. But then she heard his words. She heard that he was only coming to get her because Dem wanted him to. "He doesnt want me?" She thought, her heart broken.
Dem lokked down, fidgeting. "I havent seen them for a couple hours." He said honestly.
Damon felt lighter than air, his new senses were acute and accurate and it was easy to find her energy now. He headed towards the city square and made his way into the prison without being noticed. He felt her energy so much he was almost touching her! He touched the cheek of the girl chained to the wall "lex?" He whispered hoping it was her.Mae nodded "did they say anything? Where they were going or doing?" She grabbed a glass of milk to calm his nerves.
Lexi could feel him coming long before he entered her cell. He looked so different looking like one of her kind. She dragged her eyes away. She couldnt look at him out of shame and sorrow, and she didnt want him looking at her, so she hung her head, nodding a little before looking down and away. If she could have she would have been hiding her ears and eyes and wings.Dem drank down the milk quickly. "Mom left Dad. And now he's out looking for her." He said honestly.
Damon felt that pain, she didn't want to come back...she left him for a reason "love...please" he whispered desperately "I'm bringing you home...I love you...please." He begged quietly trying to turn her face so she could look at him.Mae looked up Torch wondering if he heard that "it's ok...you can stay here till they come back alright?" She showed him the twins room and let him sleep on James' bed. She was rocking Taylor, though it felt like she was getting sick whenever she held her "Lexi left Damon?...what? They just had a baby!"
Love her? How could he love her when she had lied to him. When she looked like this monstrosity? He himself had said he was only coming for Dem. He didnt love her. He couldnt. Her finely tuned mind didnt understand how he could love after all of that. When he turned her face, she winced and shrank back, knowing he must look at her in disgust now. When her eyes locked on his, she let all of the thoughts she had just had flow into his mind.Dem nodded and wandered off to go rest.
Torch was pacing the room, practically tearing his hair out. "I am going to wring that girl's neck." He growled.
Damon felt what little power he had leave when she shrank away from his touch, the bond though filled his mind with her thoughts and he looked at her astonished "I think you are beautiful...exotic, I nearly died because I needed to find you...I wouldn't have lasted at home without you...you broke me Lexi and I never thought I could be broken...please come home..."Mae looked at him repulsed "you can't disrespect the dead Torch!" She snapped "we don't know what really happened...all we can do is take care of their kids!"
Lexi listened to him, each word driving a nail into her heart. "Im so sorry." She sobbed, the drug still in her system helping to push her towards hysteria. "I didnt have a choice about leaving." She bit her lip, looking up at him. "And I cant go back either. Because of the oath I made. But that doesnt mean I cant be taken against my will." She hinted, looking down once more. "Kidnap me and take me home?" She whispered.Torch scowled, still pacing. "We can go visit her in hell and see what she has to say for herself then." He snapped. He was blinded by anger and grief.
Damon's mind was already churning thinking about the best way to do this. "I'll need transportation...I can't fly back without killing us both..." He whispered "the cell is no problem...just how to get out of here..."Mae was taken aback and didn't even recognize him "Torch! I can't believe what I'm hearing! These were our best friends our family!" She was continue but having Taylor in her arms made her feel unusual she collapsed to the ground hitting her head on the coffee table just a mere human.
Lexi looked up at the ceiling. "There are shuttles one floor up." She said softly. "But I really shouldnt be helping you kidnap me. Many of my kind can read minds. And it wouldnt be convincing enough." She explained.Torch threw his hand s in the air. "Yeah! Until.... Mae!?" He ran over to her, setting Taylor down to the side. "Mae are you alright?" He asked, holding her tight.
((That was probs my last post. Gnight!))
Damon nodded in understanding and started to develop a plan "I can'te tell you so just wait here." He ran out of the prison cell and found a switchboard, randomely flipping switches he caused quite a ruckous of sounds and lights flashing on and off. While everyone es was heading to investigate he got up to the floor and saw the shuttles, finding that they had flight coordinates to earth he felt convident.Mae weakly opened her eyes, which were dull blue "I feel so strange..." She whispered touching the gash on her forehead.
Lexi nodded slowly. "Ill be here." She said, sighing. With shackles still on every one of her limbs, she didnt really have any options for going anywhere. She perked up when she heard some sort of commotion, her ears straining to gain sense of what was going on. "What in the planet are you doing Damon?" She muttered, her large blue cat eyes fixed on the door, waiting for when he would come for her.Torch lay his hand on her forehead and gently healed the gash. He noted the colour of her eyes and frowned a little. "How strange?" He asked. "What do you feel exactly Mae?"
Damon grabbed a pen sized silent but powerful drill that started to instantly cut into Lexi's cell he created a wide enough hole and dropped in with a grin as he drilled off each shackle and lifted her up through the hole.Mae shook her head "I'm human Torch...powerless...barely any strength..."
Lexi was a little surprised when he dropped into her cell. She had not heard him coming. However, she groaned in relief when the shackles came off and she could move her stiff limbs once more. "You finally came." She teased. She let him pull her up through the hole, again not assisting him since he was technically supposed to be kidnapping her. Torch stilled, his lips parting in surprise. "What?" He asked, even though he had heard her just fine. "But... but how?" He gathered her into his arms and held her protectively against him. The thought of his little angel helpless made him feel sick.
Damon threw her over his shoulder and put her into the shuttle as he started it up. Thankfully they left the keys into it and he blasted off, clumsily but they were out of there!Mae shook her head "I don't know...it was like the baby took everything when I held her..."
Lexi sighed in relief when they made it to the shuttle and the hatch was finally closed. She sank down to the floor, reclining against the wall as she watched Damon try and steer the shuttle. She smiled a little at how clumsy he was with the unfamiliar technology, but she couldn't help him, not if it was to be convincing. The second they broke the atmosphere and continued off into space, Lexi was able to hide her appearance again. Her form shimmered and faded, changing her into her angel form, stitches in her back and everything. She didn't want to be seen as an alien to Damon. She knew she would be getting the talking to of a lifetime when they arrived home, and she didn't want to make that worse by looking like a different species. "The baby....?" He said softly, as if just understanding. "Damon doesn't have that power..." He said softly, and anger contorted his features. "I swear if it is Lexi's fault that child stole your powers so help me I will--" He clenched his fists and shook his head, biting back the words he was about to say.
Damon finally got the hold of it and patted the seat next to him "come on I need my first mate!" His appearance had changed when they left the atmosphere. He didn't really know what to say he was just grateful she was coming home.Mae winced his demon anger too much for her human senses. she sighed and sat on the chair "I can't raise the children anymore...they'll over power me...Alex...what am I going to do?"
Lexi nodded, heaving her stiff body from the floor and walked over to him. She flopped down on the chair beside him and looked out the window at the stars passing by. She gulped, hoping his relative silence was a good thing. Torch sighed softly, forcing himself to breathe and control his anger. He hugged her gently. "They wouldn't overpower you Mae. They love you. You're still the perfect mother and just what our family needs. I'll figure out how to get your powers back if I can." He promised.
Damon took her hand and held it caressing the back of it slowly with his thumb as he navigated back into their solar system, earth looked like a speck but they were almost home.Mae sighed and nodded trying to believe him "I love you...I don't want to leave...but I don't know what help I will be? I feel as weak as a feather..."
Lexi smiled weakly at him, before looking out at the stars again, hating how cold they were. They were beautiful, yes, but powerful, bright, and cold. Like her species, and it made her cringe. She winced and closed her eyes, determined not to cry. "I-I'm... I'm so... sorry..." She whispered, shaking her head. Torch hugged her, kissing her cheek. "A gorgeous graceful feather who can still hold her own in this house. You'll still be an amazing mother." He tried to convince her, kissing her lips this time.
Damon if they were driving in the car would have pulled over to talk about this. But flying through space did not give him that option "there's nothing to be sorry about...I can't wait to here the whole story when we get home but...I'm just glad that you are safe and alive..."Mae kissed him back tears streaming down her cheeks, his lips slightly burned but she could handle it. Kissing him was far more rewarding than being without the pain "why are you so good to me?..."
A strangled half sob half cry of thankfulness escaped her throat and she leaned on his shoulder, hiding her tear stained face in his shirt. How he could forgive her was above him, but she was overjoyed that he did. "Have I mentioned how much I love you?" She whispered. Torch cupped her cheeks gently between both his hands, smiling softly at her. His thumbs wiped away her tears as he held her. "Because I love you so darn much." He whispered, kissing her briefly again. "And nothing could ever change that."
Damon felt his heart burst in jubilation when he realized they were tears of happiness. He kissed her head tears also brimming "I love you so much...but wait till your son sees you! He's been a wreck, didn't want anything to do with me!" Mae smiled and nuzzled him "I wish...there was a way to get them back though...I feel like a stranger in my own body."
Lexi sat up again, wiping away her tears. She didn't want to distract him from flying. "Sorry." She said again, wincing apologetically. "That's not your fault." She said hopefully. She hated that she had torn two members of her family apart. Earth was growing closer and closer. Torch nodded sympathetically. "I will work my hardest to find a solution. There has to be someway to get them back..." He said, thoughtfully.
Damon smiled and started the landing gears when he was past the atmosphere of earth, something funny was going on with them though like they had been tampered with "that's why it was so easy to leave...hold on love!" He flipped a lot of switches and dials trying everything until they finally crashed with a fiery blaze.Mae nodded "don't touch the baby directly...use a blanket of else you'll be no better off as me!"
Lexi nodded slowly, hating that it had had to be that way. She shrieked in alarm when they started a quick decent to earth. She grabbed a hook in the ceiling and clung to it as they plummeted. They were going to crash. Leaping from her chair, she tackled Damon to the floor, wrapping her huge light wings around them both. Once the explosion had subsided, she sat up and got off him, smiling wryly. "Nice landing."Torch nodded, eyeing the child with a strange combination of disgust and caution. "Point taken." He said, nodding slowly. "I really want to know where Lexi got those powers."
Damon coughed still getting a bit of damage but they both would have been dead if it wasn't for her wings "thanks for saving my life." He said in the same tone she used and grinned pecking her lips "looks like you aren't going back anytime soon!"Mae frowned "Torch! She's just a baby she didn't know any better! She's your best friends so you don't need to keep looking at her like she's a bomb!"
"Any time." Lexi got up slowly, dusting herself off, her alien wings disappearing into her back and out of sight once more. "I am completely fine with that." She said seriously, huffing. She hated that her home planet had such strangling memories for her. It was not something she liked to dwell on. Before the topic could be pursued, She left the space shuttle and headed towards their house. Torch rolled his eyes. "A baby that took your powers!" He said, glaring at it before looking away again. "That thing isn't really Damon's. Dem is his. That.... is Lexi's." He said, actually growling. He was still overly protective of Mae at the moment.
Damon glanced back at the space shuttle that was sure to raise some eyebrows...he incinerated it into nothing but ash snd then ran into their house and swept it away with the broom. "There!" He frowned going back in the house was empty "how long were we gone?" The whole light year thing screwed him up.Mae could not handle his anger at the high peak it was at, she tried to protest not understanding his animosity when her chest ached and burned she couldn't breathe "Torch..." She was having a heart attack.
Lexi looked around the empty house, wishing Dem and Taylor were here so she could see their kids again. She wasn't too worried though. She figured they were just at Mae and Torch's place. "A couple days, earth time." She said quickly, heaving a sigh.Torch looked at her in shock for the moment it took him to understand. Then he swore. "Crap Mae! I'm so sorry! I didn't think that..." He bit his lip and lay his hand on her chest, closing his eyes as he worked on stopping the heart attack.
Damon sighed and picked her up bridal style up to their room "alright Lex, start from the beginning..." He knew she knew what he was referring to. He wanted to hear it but then he just wanted to be alone with his Lexi.Mae breathed out and sighed in relief when the pain stopped "I can't handle your anger...I wouldn't handle it even if I was still a demon! So you need to forget and forgive! Or at least tell me what is really going on..."
Lexi knew what was coming, but she forced herself to relax and get ready for what might be the hardest thing she had ever done. "I was born on that planet, Arae." she started softly, fiddling with the blankets on their bed, not looking at him. "I was trained as a spy from the age I was 7. I came to earth to keep an eye on it. Report back, basically. The reports stopped coming when I met you. And when I told you, my oath fell through, and I was transported back again." She said honestly, chewing her lip. "That... was what I actually look like. That planet is technically where I belong. But I don't ever want to go back. I had a... rough time of it there. Women's rights are looser on that planet." She explained softly. She had not been lying to him when they met about being raped. Torch raked a hand through his hair and sighed heavily. "I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you... and... Those powers the child has... they're unnatural..."
Damon nodded slowly, everything was starting to come together sort of. "What about being an angel and then demon..and then angel again? That couldn't have been faked..." Or could it? He understood about the other life on other planets and he was fine with that part, he just wish she didn't lie to him about it.Mae nodded and sighed "I'm sure Damon and Lexi were going to take care of it...make them stable...but they aren't here anymore! We still have to help raise her!"
Lexi's jaw clenched and she scrunched her eyes closed. Taking a deep breath, she let her form shimmer. In the span of a second, she had angel wings. Then they wavered and dissolved into bat like demon wings, and then they disappeared all together. She bit her lip and looked at the sheets in shame, not saying anything. When she shouted that they weren't there anymore, Torch shrank back like he had been struck. His best friend wasn't there anymore. He had been trying to deny it, but now there was no running from the truth. He curled up in a defeated little heap, his wings unfurling from his back and wrapping around his body. He didn't want Mae to see him cry.
Damon blinked amazed but was still a little hurt "why...did you need me to cut off your wings then? It would have cause you less pain and me losing 10 years of my life if you had just been honest...with me."Mae was shocked at herself when she yelled, she supposed she had pent up feelings too... She moved over and rubbed his back while his wings shrouded him "I'm sorry my love...I'm sorry..." She whispered and rested her head close to him .
Mae nodded "that would be nice! Why can't we just always be together?" She teased and kissed him lovingly and nuzzled him.
