McKensie and Lara
Damon smiled and leaned down and kissed her back "better get dressed...before Dem wakes up! We could scar him for life!"James groaned "dad no!...I'm not going to school!" He yelled under the pillow
Mae frowned, James never yelled or complained.
Lexi laughed softly. "Point taken." She agreed. She slipped out of bed and went to their closet, pulling on clothes. "I suppose we should wake the little guy up."Torch walked over to him and sat on the edge of his bed. "James, are you alright?" He asked gently.
London hopped up and ran over to him, hugging him tightly. "Come on James! I can't go by myself!" she said, tucking her head under his arm. "Come with me please? It will be fun!"
Damon nodded with a smile and freshened up before heading to his son'a room "Wakey Wakey kiddo!" He flipped on the overhead light.Mae frowned and took London "let's let daddy and James talk ok?"
James sniffed under the pillow shaking his head.
Dem immediately groaned. "Go away. I'm sleeping." He mumbled, smashing the pillow over his head. "I've decided to become nocturnal."London bit her lip, not liking the idea of leaving James when he seemed distressed, but she nodded and took Mae's hand, letting her lead her out.
Torch lay his hand gently on his back. "What's wrong bud?"
Damon chuckled "come on Demetri, it's your first day of school! Your mom is excited to take a billion pictures of you with your hair combed for once."James shook her head and sighed "they'all make fun of me...call me 4 wheels! And I can't fly!"
Dem groaned. "Even better." he mumbled, hoping his father wouldn't hear that. "Why can't you and Lucas teach me all I need to know?"Torch sighed and rubbed his back gently. "You don't know that they'll make fun of you. And even if they do, that means they noticed you. To stand up for something means you'll make a few enemies. But you'll also make new friends. Who knows. You could be the most popular kid in school, and then I'll have to deal with your sister asking for a wheelchair." He teased, smiling at him. "Its only for a couple hours each day James. Then you can fly to your hearts content." Besides, having wheels is a good thing. Girls like that. He thought to himself, but didn't say it outloud.
Damon sighed "you still need to blend in, go to school and then after school you will be taught by Lucas and I deal? I won't tell your mother what you said..." He smirkedJames sighed "no...I'm not going! I know everything they are teaching anyways!"
Dem paled a little, not having realized that Damon had heard him. He sighed and nodded. "Fine." He agreed, shaking his head slowly. "I still dont see why."Torch sighed softly. "Then what will London do all by herself, with no one to protect her? Or be there for her? You have to grow up like a normal kid James, so one day you can be the man of the house."
Damon smiled "I know kid, I didn't see why either and that was a long time ago! School was much more difficult. Just think of it as free playtime!"James thought about it "can't we be home schooled? You guys are home...and we still learn everything!"
Dem nodded slowly and huffed. "Right. Free time. With.... humans..." he shook his head and slipped off the bed getting up to get changed.Torch shook his head. "Then you wouldnt make as many friends. And you wouldnt see them everyday. Its good practice to get used to being around humans." He said gently.
Damon chuckled "chip off the old block...they aren't so bad Dem, and it'll make going to Lukas even better! Cheer up kiddo at least I'm not forcing you to hang out with angels!"James sighed and nodded "alright...I'll try dad, I'll do it for Loo but that's it!"
Dem smirked. "What are you talking about? You married one!" He said, laughing softly. "Dont worry. Ill go." He got dressed and combed his hair.Torch hugged him tightly. "Thats my boy."
Damon pat his shoulder "good boy! Now let your mother be emotional and nostalgic...no wise cracks got it?" He said raising a brow.James smiled and hugged him back "better get used to the chair then!" He flapped his wings and sat down "feels weird..."
Dem smiled in obviously overdone innocence. "Of course!" He smiled and hugged hom quickly before walking downstairs. "Morning Mom."Lexi saw Dem come down looking all grown up and she sucked in a breath and her hand covered her mouth, eues tearing up. "Oh my little boy..." she hugged him.
Dem grinned at Damon so Lexi couldnt see.
Torch nodded. "It will, for a while." He smiled. "Try moving."
Damon chuckled behind his hand, oh this was too rich! He handed Lexi the camera "Demmy's first day at kindergarten!" He said in an over zealous manner.James pushed the wheels and he moved with them, a small smile appeared on his face it was kind of fun!
Mae with London's help was getting the lunches made "you excited for school? It's been awhile since you've been!"
Lexi shot an accusing glance at Damon, picking up on his overly excited tone, and elbowed him in the ribs. She took the camera however. "Smile." She said, and took a picture of Dem. "Let's get you to school now. Wouldn't want to be late!" She ushered him out to the car. Once he was out the door, she turned to Damon. "Were you making fun of me? Because I hope you know that I can easily overpower you, I just haven't chosen to, yet." She said, smiling a little. Torch grinned. "There you go!" He said encouragingly. "Want to fly it down to the car so we can get ready to head off?" He suggested.
London bit her lip. "More nervous. It will be different without James as his usual self, and Mark will be there..."
Damon grinned innocently "of course not darling! I know you can I prefer to stay on your good side...it was kind of mocking Dem, he hates the idea of going to a human school."James nodded and flew out and let his dad carry it out as he flew to London "Mmm pb and banana sandwich! My favorite, come on Loo I can run over Mark with my wheelchair if he's a jerk!"
Lexi eyed him for a moment before nodded. "If I find out you've been laughing at me...." She laughed softly and kissed his cheek. "Just keep that in mind. Let me know how Dem does at school." she said smiling. "I'll be here when you get home."Torch smiled and carried the chair out to the car, winking at Mae as he went.
London flew up to James and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're coming." She said.
Damon chuckled "I don't think I'll be going with him, I'll just drop him off and pick him up. We will then head to Hell so he can learn from Lukas and I." He explained and kissed her cheek.Mae laughed and went over patting his hind quarters "careful there mister!"
James hugged her back "hope it goes well..."
Lexi smiled lovingly at him and nodded. "Alright then. Don't be gone long. It will be rather lonely here with just Taylor and I." she said, hugging him quickly before pushing him towards the door. "Go on then. Wouldn't want Dem to be late on his first day."Torch grinned and planted a nice big kiss on her forehead. "Always am darling." He said, loading up the car. "Come on kids! Let's go!"
London nodded. "I'm sure it will." She said hopefully. "I can push you around if you want." She offered, flying into the car with him.
Damon grinned and helped Dem in the car as he drove to the school "here we are kiddo, got your back pack?"James grinned a little and went in the car "ok Loo! We are ready dad!"
Dem nodded and patted it, sitting on the seat beside him. "Right here." He said. "Did I get you in trouble with Mom?" He asked, hoping not. Torch got in the car and drove them to school. "You kids have a great day, ok? I'll be here to pick you up in the afternoon." He promised, helping lift James into his chair, before handing them both their bags.
London smiled. "Ok Dad. Bye!" she grabbed the handles on the wheel chair and got to work pushing James across the walk and into the school.
Damon shook his head "nah! You're fine mom and I were just joking with each other! Alright do you want me to walk you in?"James sighed "I don't like not being able to do things Loo..." He admitted and held onto his back pack..
Dem smiled, encouraged by that. "No. That's ok. If you feel like picking me up early to take me to Lucas's place that's great too!" He said, hopping out of the car. "Bye Dad!" he waved and walked towards the school. London wheeled him up to his cubby so he could put his pack away. Then she put hers in the cupboard too. "You can do lots of things James! It's just that you do some things differently now." She said, trying to encourage him.
Damon grinned and shook his head and went back home "oh Lexi! You better hide woman I'm going to kiss your face off!"James sighed "would it be so horrible to fly in front of humans?"
Lexi had been putting Taylor down for a nap when Damon walked in, and she crept out of the baby's bedroom before giggling and running to the nearest linen closet, which she crouched inside and shut the door, waiting. London sighed softly. "They wouldn't understand James. We would scare them. You saw how Mark reacted..."
Damon chuckled her heard the scurrying and followed it "fee fi fo dips I'm coming to kiss your lips!"James sighed "oh yeah...hey look there's Demetri! Dem over here!"
Lexi had to hide her face in one of the folded sheets to try and conceal her giggling. She tried to press herself further back into the blankets and sheets. Dem heard a voice he recognized and grinned, brightening instantly. He ran over and smiled. "James!" He exclaimed, hugging him. "Hi London." He said as well, then he smiled. "How are you guys?"
Damon smirked his mischeivous smirk and made her favorite candy appear "oh well if she isn't here I'll just have to eat these all by myself!"James hugged him back "frustrated, but Loo is good! Welcome to kindergarten...it's worse than Hell!" He whispered
Lexi's eyes widened and she squeaked "no!" before she could stop herself, and her hand flew over her mouth, but it was too late, she had given her spot away.Dem nodded sadly, "Sorry about what happened..." He said softly. "But hey, maybe you could come to Hell with Dad and I after school. He and Lucas are going to teach me the important stuff!"
Damon grinned and opened the linen closet and tossed her over his shoulder "I found a stowaway, you certaintly are not a towel? What should I do with you?"James grinned "sounds fun! Only if Loo can come too! She's not find of being left alone..." He shrugged "what do you think they are going to teach you?"
Lexi shrieked when he tossed her effortlessly over his shoulder. She giggled and squirmed. "Oh please! Let me go!" She begged in a mock high pitched voice. Dem nodded. "Yeah. She can come." He agreed. "They'll teach me demon stuff. You know, like how to be a better demon. Being scary, and flying, and powers. All that." He explained. "I can't wait to get our demon forms. But those only come later." He sighed.
Damon chuckled "well since you said please..." He put her on their bed kissing her deeply "want some candy?"James shrugged "I heard it hurts and it's hard to keep in...it's hard enough keeping the fire under control!"
Lexi kissed him back, smiling up at him. "Yes!" She exclaimed. "But I don't know if you want to see what sugar does to me..." She teased, wiggling her eyebrows. Dem nodded. "The first time. But after that it'll be awesome! Who cares if it's hard to keep in? We wont be around humans forever!" He said, grinning.
London shot him a glare. "Keep it down. We can't let them know about us..."
Damon chuckled "I'm a curious guy though..." He popped one in her mouth with a grin as he ate one as well. "Hmm don't know why these are your favorite?..." It tasted funny to him.James saw Mark watching them and nodded "exactly...chill Dem, humans aren't bad!" He rolled himself to a desk working with the clay again "hey Mark...hey Kaylee."
"mmmmm" dissolved into a chuckle, and then she was giggling all over again. "Because they have a lot of sugar in them." She said, a grin splitting her face. She kissed his nose and started to curl and uncurl her hands. Suddenly she couldn't keep still. "Don't say I didn't warn you." She purred, "Let's do something together. Something nice and active." She was speaking at twice the speed she usually did. Dem huffed and shook his head. How could they not see that humans actually were really that bad?
Mark smiled and walked over to them. "Hey guys. How is it going?" He asked.
London smiled nervously. "Alright. You?" She asked.
Mark smiled back. "Pretty good. Are you doing ok James?"
Damon held his head he was feeling mighty dizzy and drowsy "Lex...can you just c-chill?" His tongue felt heavy in his mouth, what was happening to him. "Tell Lu-Lukas..." He stuttered before he fell to the ground.James nodded "getting around, it's fun to be back though...have we missed anything fun?" He started making a dragon packing down the clay.
Lexi paled at least three shades and her hand flew to her mouth. "Oh my gosh... ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" She cried, beside him in an instant. "Damon?" She asked hesitantly. A moan escaped her throat. "This is my fault! All my fault!" She heaved him into her arms and her wings spread, demon wings this time so she could get into hell. She arrived at Lucas's place and pounded on the door. "please be here... oh please be here..." she whispered. ((could you play Lucas for now bc I have no idea what is wrong with Damon, nor how to make Lucas help him. XP))
Mark shook his head, huffing. "It's just the same as everyday now." He said honestly, playing with the clay with him. "Not much exciting has happened since you left."
((But of course :) ))Lukas checked the antique clock on the fireplace it wasn't time for Demetri's lessons yet. He stood trying not to wake Anne in the bedroom, he opened the door and was nearly bulldozed over by Lexi "what in?!..." He was about to start and then paused seeing Damon "what happened?" His voice low as he motioned her into the guest room.
James shrugged "At least that's a relief! Too much had happened when we haven't been here! Nice to get a break right Loo?"
Lexi shook her head frantically. "I don't know! We were eating candy, and he told me to calm down because I get hyper easily, and then he told me to tell you something, but he never said what to tell you, he just passed out on the floor!" She exclaimed, finishing that all in one breath. She laid Damon down gently onto the bed in the guest room, holding his hand tightly. "Do you know what is wrong?" She asked, panicked. London nodded, smiling at him. "Yes. It is nice." She agreed politely.
Mark nodded, sighing softly. "Are you doing ok with your wheelchair then?" He asked hopefully. He wanted James to be ok.
Lukas stayed patient as she rambled on and on "do you have the candy with you? Was he acting funny of slurring his words?" James shrugged "first day using it so I guess?" He leaned close and whispered "I fly at home."
Lexi nodded and dug around in one of her pockets, pulling out one of the candies. She handed it to him quickly. "That's it there." She said. The sugar was slowly wearing out of her system, but it would be a little while more before she calmed completely. "He was slurring his words a little, now that I think of it." She agreed.Mark nodded solemnly. "I see." He said. Then he whispered back. "Could you take me for a flight sometime?" Hopeful excitement lit up in his eyes.
Lukas examined it and nodded "he was drugged...somehow that one piece carried a harmful drug that is shutting down his body. Anne is our best alchemist and can help, but for now he stays here.James grinned and nodded "yeah it has to be secret though!"
"Drugged...?" Lexi repeated softly. "But why? And by whom?" She asked, staring at Damon. Who would want him immobilized? And why? It made her sick with worry. "How long is it going to take to get him better again?" She asked, looking up at him, worried.Mark split into a huge smile. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. "You guys are the best friends ever!"
Lukas frowned "I know not...but I believe the piece was meant for you...not him." He motioned Anne in "darling we need your skills to reverse the effects of the drug..."James laughed "better not just because we have cool perks!"
Lexi stiffened. Meant for her? That couldn't mean anything good. If someone wanted to capture her because of her abilities... well, that would mean someone knew what she was, and that was nothing but bad news. Anne came in and looked at Damon worriedly. She examined the candy, and then checked all Damon's vitals. "That was one strong drug." She finally announced. "Someone really wanted to knock you out dear." She said softly. In a second, Anne was working with vials of unknown fluids, mixing and stirring, and muttering to herself. When she was done, she held up a small vial. "This should wake him up. But he's not going to be very coordinated for a while yet." she said seriously, pouring the liquid down Damon's throat. "You'll have to watch him for the next twenty four hours, make sure he doesn't do something stupid like trip downstairs."
Mark's smile dimmed a little. "Actually, it's because you didn't hate me after I broke up with London." he said softly, looking down.
Lukas watched amazed, it took a lot to impress him and she was the only one as of yet. He pecked her cheek "glorious work...any side effects we should know about?"Damon felt his mind slowly wake up but it felt more like a dream than reality. His eyes opened and then closed getting used to the sensation and how heavy his body felt.
James shrugged "I've never hated anyone and Loo was ok...I don't get rid of friends..."
Anne beamed and flushed a little. "Thank you." She said. Lexi looked away, having eyes only for Damon. She was by his side in a second when he seemed to wake up. "Damon?" She asked softly. "How are you feeling?"
Anne chewed her lip then. "To be honest, the side effects in these cases have varied from person to person. Anything from slight memory lose to excessive mood swings." She said honestly. "They never last longer than a couple days." she promised.
Mark brightened a little then and his smile reappeared. "Thank you." He said honestly. "I don't have many friends besides you, and I was worried that... I wouldn't have any at all."
Damon heard a light ringing in his ears and then his name, he tried again to open his eyes but they managed to close again. Form words that's all he had to do...open mouth and...nothing just raspy breath noises.James frowned "you're a good kid you should have more friends!"
Torch smiled in relief. "Good." He said, nodding. "Yes. That might be smart. I'll go get them." He told her, walking up stairs. He opened the blinds and smiled at his kids. "Rise and shine! Its morning!"
