McKensie and Lara
Damon sighed starting to understand and lay down pulling her on top of him "hey...look at me, I'm never going to stop loving you...so there is no need to be ashamed and look away...not much has changed...we could move and start over if that makes you feel better?"Mae sighed and rubbed his back holding him tightly "shh I've got you...I know...I know it hurts." She sighed and just held on, she needed a giant rewind button...
Lexi looked up at him hesitantly, her eyes filled with worry and regret. "I love you too, and I'm so sorry." She whispered, laying her head on his chest. "We can stay here, it's alright. My oath is already broken."Torch clung to her, barely moving as he tried to dispel his grief. He hugged her tightly and looked up at her then, wiping his eyes. "I love you." He whispered, and rested his head weakly on her shoulder.
Damon sighed and stroke her hair back "just stay...never leave my side I can't take much more...I'm chipping away..."Mae sighed and nodded "I love you more..." She got a thought, not quite a vision just a thought "we need to go to their house...with the kids."
Lexi felt struck to the core. "Never." She promised, kissing his cheek. "Is there anything I can do to put you back together again?" She asked hopefully. Torch nodded slowly, not questioning her. He had learned to just go along when she had one of those moments. "Alright." He agreed, calling Dem to him, "Can you hold onto Taylor, and I'll carry you?" He asked Mae.
Damon smiled "I can think of a couple of things...oh and look we are in the room to do it!" He teased and nuzzled her."I can't touch Taylor...she will kill me..." She whispered and tried to carefully stand but crumbled back down "I'll stay..."
Lexi laughed softly, tapping his nose. "You naughty boy." She whispered, kissing his chin, and then his lips. "But if that will make you feel better, then you know I am all for it." She whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck. Torch sighed softly and wrapped the girl in a blanket before scooping both her and Dem up. "Are you sure you'll be alright here?" he asked, worried.
Damon smiled and kissed her lovingly with purpose "I think it might..." He whispered in her ear and ran his hands down her waist "for what it counts...I thought your alien form was breath taking..."Mae nodded with a small smile "I'll be fine.." She assured pulling the blanket over her trembling body. "I hope they really are alive..."
Lexi pulled herself closer to him, flushing softly. "Thank you." She whispered, tangling her fingers in his hair. She nuzzled his neck and then kissed it gently. Torch gave her one more worried glance before nodding. He took off in a flurry of dark wings and soared to Damons house. Landing, he walked onside and looked around apprehensively. "Hello?" He called, even though he wasnt expecting an answer.
Damon looked up, and frowned "Torch?" He called back definitely not expecting him right at this moment! But hey, that's what best friends do right? Make sure the other is ok, he's been gone 3-4 days...
Lexi groaned in dissapointnent. "Cant he come back another time?" She asked.Torch swallowed slowly, hardly daring to beleive what he heard. Damon was alive!? He bounded up the stairs, about to burst into their room when he saw that the door was closed. He paused. "You decent? Open up! I thought you were dead!" His voice sounded somewhat frantic.
Damon sighed feeling the same way but the frantic tone in his voice made him get up and open the timing "you need to work on your timing mate!" But he was smiling because it was his best friend and he couldn't stay mad for long.
Torch just stared at Damon for a second. Then he poked his arm, then he full out punched his shoulder, hugging him tightly. "Dont you ever do that again!" He wasn't sure whether to be mad or happy. Lexi chuckled despite herself, even though she did want Torch to leave so she and Damon could pick up where they left off.
Damon was a little taken aback but pat his back "mate...this isn't bromance!" He teased and let go staring at him "you're serious? I haven't been in this solar system or dimension does that count?"
Torch nodded. "Dead serious. No pun intended. Mae said you were dead... and well... I couldn't sense you, or Lexi, so I wasn't sure." He said honestly, "Not in this dimension!? Where the heck did you go?"
Damon shrugged "I almost disintegrated does that count? It's a really long story...just know we are here to stay! Are the kids here? Lexi wants to see them." He ran a hand through his hair it was getting far too long for his liking. "Mae's visions don't always come true...we are very much alive."
Torch looked rather stunned when he mentioned disintegrating, but he nodded slowly. "Yeah... they're downstairs. I'll send them up and let you all catch up a bit." He said, smiling softly. He was glad he was back. "Thanks for not dying." He joked, and with one more smile, left downstairs. He told Dem to come up with Taylor, which he did, and then Torch left and went back to Mae.Dem shrieked and ran in, hugging Damon quickly and handing him taylor before running to Lexi and hugging her. Lexi smiled and hugged him back tightly.
Mae was asleep on the couch her heart rate low and she was sweaty and clammy.Damon grinned cuddling his little angel and frowning, she had tattoos on her forehead like a beautiful filigree and it was white "Lexi?" He motioned her over to see what she though.
Torch paled almost to the same shade she was at the moment, and he scrambled over to her side. Taking her hand, he fed some of his energy into her to help strengthen her. Lexi hugged Dem once more and got up to come see what he was worried about. She saw the marks and smiled sadly. "My beautiful baby girl." she whispered, running her finger over the tattoos. "She did inherit the gift after all. You'll have to be careful Damon. She might try to steal your powers." She teased.
Mae slowly woke up coughing to get some air "hey...you're back so soon?" She asked softly sitting up against the pillows,Damon frowned "Lex..what would happen if she did?" He was worried about her dealing with other people, the Milton's after all did watch her.
Torch smiled and nodded eagerly. "Damon and Lexi are alive, and just fine." He promised. "And I'm glad to see you still breathing my love. How are you?" He asked, bending to kiss her knuckles. Lexi chuckled softly. "She wouldn't. She knows her father. It's just like I don't steal your powers. " she nudged him with her hip. "But even if she did, I could get them back for you."
Mae smiled weakly "I'm so g-glad..." She coughed again trying to get a deep breath "hanging in there..."Damon grinned "good to know! But what would happen to someone besides me a total stranger?"
Torch frowned in worry. "You don't look too good." He said softly, taking her hand again. He started to feed her a constant stream of energy once more. Lexi shrugged. "Probably die after a while. I mean, they wouldn't have their powers any more... and those are kind of essential to an angel or demon..." She said honestly.
Mae moaned the energy helped a little but she was just so exhausted "I'm always hot..." She tried to tease but even that took effort. She coughed again but this time couldn't help herself sit up.Damon frowned "that's not good at all...how did you learn to control it?...what can we teach her?"
Torch helped her into a sitting position, his brow creased in worry. "This better not be because of that baby." He said softly. "Maybe we should go see of Damon can fix you?"Lexi grimaced. "Let's not speak of how I learned." She whispered. "It was a more... traditional method." she opened her eyes again and looked up at him. "Taylor will have to learn by learning to be content with what she has."
Mae slowly nodded her head hanging forward being held up by his shoulder. She gasped for breath again her eyes shutting too exhausted to even move.Damon slowly nodded and rocked his baby girl "we will really have to emphasize right and wrong...her powers put her in the stereotype of a villain but she could never..."
Torch grimaced, his heart pounding in fear. He lifted her into his arms, tucking her close to his body. He took off then, flying quickly towards Damon's house.Lexi nodded and sighed, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Dont all our powers stereotype villians? Between you and Dem, Taylor and I, we're quite the family." She smiled softly. "Dont worry. She'll learn."
Damon smiled and kissed her cheek "A powerful family indeed...I don't think anyone would mess with us now!" He said gleefully and smiled at Demetri and hugged him "are we alright now?"
Dem nodded, smiling up at his father. "Yes. We're ok now Dad." He said, hugging him. "I'm sorry for getting mad at you. I was scared." He said softly. Lexi smiled and took Taylor gently from Damon, going into the bathroom to feed her, as the baby girl had not had anything to eat in a while.
Damon nodded "I know kiddo, everything is good now." He frowned hearing Torch fly in frantically from downstairs "Torch?"
Torch carried Mae upstairs, panting. He shot a glare at Lexi and Taylor, fully blaming them for Mae's state. "Damon... she touched the baby and lost her powers. Can you fix her?"Lexi sucked in a sharp gasp and her hand flew to her mouth. "Put her on the bed, I can fix her."
Blinded by fear, Torch shook his head. "No way." He growled. "You are not touching her. You're the reason she's dying."
Lexi shrank back, stunned.
Mae was slowly fading away, she was going limp in his arms.Damon glared at Torch "don't you ever speak to my daughter or wife like that Alex Milton!"
Lexi stared at Mae, feeling her slipping from them. "Please." She said, biting her lip as her eyes stung with tears. "Please let me help her, she's dying!" She pleaded, a tear rolling down her cheek. She wouldnt dare approach him now though, not when he seemed so on edge.Torch stepped back, glaring at her warily, he was trembling slightly, whether from shock because Mae was dying, or from anger towards Lexi wasnt entirely clear.
Damon slowly took Mae from Torch and lay her on the bed "I can't hear her...heart rate..." He was still glaring at Torch "you let Lexi heal her of you won't have a wife! And I can find a new best friend!"
Torch watched Mae get taken from him in a sort of stunned shock. Then he just sank to the floor, holding his head in his hands. His wife was being murdered, and his friend was letting it happen...Lexi ran to Mae's side, scooping up her hand. "Mae... Oh I'm so sorry for this..." She whispered, shaking her head. Her form wavered, and then the room brightened a little from her wings, which were brilliant here on earth.
Torch paled, his trembling only growing worse. "What is that thing?" He asked, mostly to himself.
Lexi closed her eyes, a river of light pouring from over her heart, down her arm, through her fingertips, and into Mae's hand. It traveled up her arm then, and then all the way to her heart where it flashed, and then faded.
Damon watched amazed and glared at Torch "that is my beautiful wife who is saving yours!"Mae gasped got breath her eyes went back to the bright blue, she sat up and rubbed her head. "Torch?..."
Lexi smiled and sat back, panting a little. Her form wavered and in a second she looked human again. Torch leaped up and hugged Mae, his hand tangling in her hair. "I was so worried." He whispered.
Damon hugged her close and smiled kissing her head "you ok?" he watched Torch with a slight glare "I think you owe my family an apology!"Mae hugged him close "I'll always come back..." She sighed happily and smiled at Lexi "thank you!"
Lexi nodded, leaning into him. "Just a little tired." She said honestly.Torch smiled and sighed, kissing her hair and drinking her in. When he looked back and Lexi wrapped up in Damon's arms, his eyes held mistrust, but he nodded. "Sorry Lexi. For my behavior."
Lexi nodded. "Its fine." She assured.
Damon could still feel the distrust and distaste he had for Lexi, he let her go and dragged Torch into the hallway closing the door "what is your problem?!"Mae sighed and ran a hand through her hair "Torch is holding in so much anger, he's angry at everything!"
Damon could still feel the distrust and distaste he had for Lexi, he let her go and dragged Torch into the hallway closing the door "what is your problem?!"Mae sighed and ran a hand through her hair "Torch is holding in so much anger, he's angry at everything!"
Torch immediately darkened. "She almost killed my wife, I thought she killed you." He snapped. "What do you expect!? Im not going to be all cozy with her again after that."Lexi sighed, hugging Mae. "Its been quite the week for all of us." She said honestly. "Different people handle it differently I guess."
Damon's eyes darkened dangerously and his face went steel "my wife is the only reason your's is alive! She didn't kill me! You are accusing her for things she didn't do! I won't be cozy with you if you don't knock it off!"Mae sighed holding her close "I'm just scared he will do something he will regret..."
Torch could feel the anger bubbling up in him again. "Sure she fixed her, after she almost killed her in the first place. Im sorry Damon. But I cant say that I trust her, becauee I dont. I dont know what she is, and I dont trust anything that could be a potential threat to my family. I trust you, but not her. If you are going to throw me away because of that, fine. That's your decision." He said. His voice had lowered into a soft growl.Lexi nodded. "And im nervous of the same thing for Damon. I hate that they have to fight over such little things."
Damon felt a deep impending hatred that was attacking at all sides "then take your wife and go...never come back." He growled dangerously and went back to Lexi "say goodbye to the Milton's my love.."Mae looked shocked and looked at Torch for an explanation, this was her sister their kids were best friends and Zach and Taylor were supposedly betrothed!
Hurt briefly crossed Torch's eyes, but it was quickly burried deep deep down beneath the hatred. "Fine." He hissed and stormed back into the bedroom. His quiet rage was all but frightening. "Come on Mae, we have to go."Lexi stared at them, her hand squeezing Mae's tightly. "What is going on?" She asked softly. "Im not leaving Mae."
Damon glared at Torch "Apparently he thinks that you are a threat to his family and can't trust you anymore!" He rolled his eyes and kissed her cheek.Mae looked at Torch shocked "I'm not leaving Lexi! The twins won't leave Demetri either!"
A muscle in Torch's jaw jumped, but he stayed controlled. "I dont know if you are aware Mae, but Lexi was the reason you were dying. Im sorry. But I have to keep you safe." He said, laying his hand on her arm gently, the gesture in itself insisting that she come.Lexi stared at Torch, and then at Mae. She couldnt deny that it was her fault Mae had been dying. If only she didnt have these cursed powers, then Taylor wouldnt have them, and her best friend wouldnt be in danger and leaving her. She bit her lip and took a deep breath. "Please excuse me." She whispered, jumping up and running to the bathroom which she locked herself inside as the tears spilled over.
Mae looked at him now appalled "it wasn't Lexi's fault! It wasn't Taylor's fault either it just happened! You can't keep me safe from my best friend!" She followed him though not wanting to cause a riff between them.Damon gave Torch a deathly glare "hope you freeze!" He hissed and unlocked the bathroom door and held Lexi close to his chest "shh I know it wasn't your fault...shh I've got you..."
Torch winced internally and walked out with Mae. "It is her fault Mae. If the powers were controllable that would be one thing." He sighed as they flew away. "Im sorry. But Damon has made it clear we are no longer welcome there."Lexi leaned into his chest, crying quietly. "But it was my fault!" She sniffled, "My fault that those powers are so dangerous!" She turned her face into his shirt. "Maybe its a good thing you sent Mae away." She whispered, her voice muffled. "Now I cant hurt her." Her last words dissolved into tears.
Torch slowly let his wings pull back from his body, concealed at his back once more. He hugged Mae tightly, his face pressed against her. His shoulders shook as he cried. He couldn't hide it. He couldn't act like he was strong, not right now. Not when his best friend had died.
