message 201: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch sighed, not about to argue with her. In all honesty, he could barely keep his eyes open. Sighing softly, he cuddled with the blanket and slowly allowed his eyes to close. He fell swiftly asleep, and as he had so little energy, he slowly lost control of his human form, and without him knowing it, he shifted into his demon one. One second he was his normal, boyish self, and the next, he was ten tons of scaly dragon flesh with large wings and a long slender neck, all the orangy coal color that matched his eyes when they glowed.

Lexi sighed and smiled, nodding slowly. "Yeah. I guess. Still annoying though. Angel powers are much easier to control." She said seriously, shaking her head. "I don't know how you manage to keep all yours calm like that." she said honestly.

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae heard his usual snoring but now it accompanied the puff of smoke. She blinked staring at him but wasn't afraid, if that was what he was then so be it. She would just let him sleep and hope that the couch won't break. She went upstairs and changed into her swim suit, white bikini and went to the backyard and slipped into the pool the water was perfect.

Damon blinked not wanting to think about what would happen if he didn't have control "it comes to the fact that I have no choice, and that was a big enough incentive to never let it control me...Torch helped a lot, thankfully he heals."


message 203: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch woke up an hour later, still exhausted, but not as weak as before. The problem was, was that he was still in his demon form, and didn't have the energy to shift back. On top of that, his weakness was making him more demonic than usual. Only animalistic urges were in control at the moment. He immediately growled, and then roared, feeling claustrophobic in such a small space, when he was suddenly so large. He started to spin around and flap his wings frantically, practically trashing everything in his path.

Lexi bit her lip. "That bad, huh?" She asked him sympathetically. This guy had a rough life. And though she knew it was dangerous, him talking about his demon form just made her all the more interested in it.


message 204: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae ran to him no longer in the pool and grabbed onto him roughly so he wouldn't destroy the whole house "Torch stop!" Her voice was stern and more powerful then she could have done before. She eyed his glassy orbs with her own dark eyes staring him down "enough..." She said with the same commanding tone.

Damon sighed "That guy that attacked you...if the luckiest man to be alive, though I'm pretty sure I damaged him mentally..." He ran his hand through his dark hair and sighed "can we talk about something else?"


message 205: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch stilled when she grabbed him, holding his head still. His large golden eyes looked up into her blue ones and he slowly folded his wings, letting out a noise that sounded half like a kitten mew, and half like a growl, as it was both apologetic and annoyed at the same time. Torch himself was more in control now, but he still didn't have enough energy to shift back, and he hated it. He hated being like this around her. He didn't want to scare her.

Now Lexi was dying of curiosity. "You know, if you did shift... I'm pretty sure you could not scare me. It would take a whole lot to scare someone like me." She said honestly, sighing. "Don't feel badly about yourself Damon." She said gently. "You can't be that horrible, when you are such a nice person."


message 206: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae smiled a little at his annoyed growl and ran her hand down his scales loving the smooth and warm feel of them "you are fine" she assured and her eyes softened looking at him, she pet his muzzle softly and smiled "I think I might like you better this way" she teased and sighed "maybe you don't have enough energy because your hungry?" She asked not knowing what a demon would eat.

Damon flinched he hated thinking about it, she wouldn't be able to handle it. He would hurt her and he knew it...the Elders banned him from shifting unless in defense but that rule was still shaky "I'm not Damon anymore when I shift...I have no control and I...please Lex let's talk about something else!" He practically begged.


message 207: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch purred softly and closed his eyes when she pet him, sitting down slowly and relaxing finally. He bumped her playfully when she teased him, thought it lit him up inside. He felt all warm and fuzzy all of a sudden, like he could accomplish anything he wished. Then he nodded enthusiastically and opened his mouth to try and tell her what he would eat, but all that came out was strange dragon noises, and Torch closed his mouth again, huffing in annoyance.

Lexi bit her lip, her stomach actually twisting in pain for him. How could it be that bad? She didn't know, but he was obviously in pain because of them talking about it, and that made her feel guilty. "I'm sorry." She whispered, looking down. She fidgeted a little. "I'm really sorry." She said again, getting up slowly and walking back upstairs. She felt absolutely horrible for prying like that, so horrible that she wanted to cry, but she knew that was probably not appropriate, and would just make her seem weak, so she curled up on the bed and hid her face. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried to be nice to everyone, she always ended up hurting someone.


message 208: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae curled up next to him and smiled rubbing his head, this felt so strange and yet she was happier then she had been in a long time. She laughed when he nudged her and nudged him back. Her face lit up when he told her that it would help but she couldn't understand him "hey...hey none of that. We'll figure this out...I'll name some things and you nod if it's what you want" she thought about it for a little bit "Steak?"

Damon felt pain in his chest when she looked upset and went upstairs. He clenched his hair and groaned he didn't want her sad because of him! He headed up with a cup of cocoa because that's what he liked when he was upset. He knocked on her door and sat down on her bed and rubbed her back "Lex...it's ok, please don't be upset..." He whispered playing with a lock of her hair.


message 209: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch nodded and sighed in resignation at her idea. Lacking speech was just about the most annoying thing ever, especially for him, who probably talked too much. Then he grinned and nodded happily at her mention of steak. But then he frowned slightly, wondering how on earth he could tell her that he liked it raw. He tried to gesture at the stove, frowning and shaking his head, hoping she understood.

Lexi heard him coming upstairs, but she didn't bother moving from where she was. She stayed curled up in a tiny pitiful ball on the bed, trying to gain composure again. "I'm sorry." she whispered softly, not looking up. "I-I didn't mean to... and I hurt you... and... and I'm sorry."


message 210: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae nodded "yes yes, raw I figured. If I had an actual cow I would get you one but I don't know where you would find a cow in the city." She got up and pecked his muzzle before going to the freezer and finding a steak. She frowned it was too frozen she looked for a meat mallet and hammered out till it was perfect and then tossed it in his mouth laughing.

Damon frowned and curled up by her making her look at him "hey,,,you didn't hurt me alright? I shouldn't have snapped...you are just curious and I get that.." He moved her hair back "please don't be sad...you do not want to see me cry and blush on the same day. That would definitely earn me jeers from my peers." He was trying to make her smile again.


message 211: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments ((last post))

Torch watched her, purring happily. He pawed the ground and then caught the steak easily when she tossed it, swallowing it whole. Then he rumbled happily and curled up on the ground, closing his eyes sleepily as he waited for the meat to digest.

Lexi looked at him hesitantly as he spoke, actually managing a small smile at his last comment. She nodded slowly. "I just. I just don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to hurt you and..." she sighed softly. "I'm sorry." She hugged him. "I didn't know it was a touchy subject."


message 212: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae shook her head giggling at the way he acted like a happy dog getting a treat. She cleaned it all up and washed her hands from all the juices and blood she for one did not find raw steak enjoyable. She plopped back next to him and rubbed his belly helping the meat digest and lay her head back staring at the ceiling. She never thought she'd be giving a demon a belly rub and be so happy.

Damon held her close stroking her hair "you could never hurt me Lex...you couldn't hurt a fly. You are too sweet and caring..." He pecked her hair gently "one day I'll show you, but when I know you will be strong enough to handle it alright?..."

((Bye!))


message 213: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch smiled softly at her, a toothy dragon smile, but it was not a frightening one. He folded his wings around her and let his eyes close again. Then suddenly, and ever so slowly, he began to change. He melted down to his regular size, and shifted into his human form, still curled around her. Torch grinned and planted a quick kiss on her cheek. "Thanks darling."

Lexi nodded, hiding her face against him. She enjoyed being in his arms. It calmed her somehow, to be in someone's arms who would not hurt her. "Fair enough." She said softly, smiling a little at him.


message 214: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae smiled "it's what I'm here for." She said mimicking him from earlier. She sat up and then he pulled her back down and she laughed tickling his stomach "what? You still want me to pet you?" She shook her head and pulled her hair up out of her face. "You made a bigger mess then I did when I shifted." She noted glancing at the broken furniture.

Damon kissed her nose "you up for going to see my friend Torch? I won't let him hurt you." He promised and sat up on the bed "just have to get that food to him before I get a million texts on how starving he is..."


message 215: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch grinned and shrugged. "Maybe...? It was nice." He said, laughing a little. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close, enjoying the opportunity to do so. "Yeah." He agreed, sighing. "I can clean up the messes I make though." He said, turning to glare at the room. As if by itself, it started to fix and clean up. He smiled softly. "Don't ask me to do that all the time. I can't do that for anything you spill." He said honestly.

Lexi nodded and smiled. "Sure." She agreed, sitting a little straighter. She thought it was so cute how those two were such good friends. It made her wish that she had a friend like that.


message 216: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae blinked watching the room clean itself hastily "what are you Mary Poppins?" She asked with a slight laugh "I wouldn't ask you of it at all! I can clean up my messes I'm a big girl." She teased and poked his nose running her hand through his hair "you never did get to try a waffle."

Damon took her hand and helped her up as he grabbed the food containers from downstairs and headed out the door. He spread out his wings and picked her up heading a couple of miles away to Torch's elaborate house.


message 217: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch shrugged. "I had to point it out. It's not in my capabilities to clean other's messes, just like it is hard for me to heal other's wounds." He explained, smiling. Then he grinned at her and chuckled softly, loving the feel of her hand in his hair. "No. I did not. Shall we go eat?" he asked softly.

Lexi followed behind him the whole way wondering briefly to herself if Torch had killed her new friend Mae. That thought horrified her, and she swallowed hard and pushed it away. Clinging to Damon as he took off, she grinned and lit up as they started to fly.


message 218: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae frowned "yes well, no more healing my wounds I don't want you to get that weak..." She pulled him up and brushed down her clothes, she felt like a hot mess still wearing her swim suit under her clothes. "Hopefully they are somewhat warm..." She blinked hearing the door knock and glanced at him puzzled.

Damon swooped down and carefully lowered her as he knocked on the door. He rolled his eyes glancing at the house "my friend is not a humble demon..." He muttered but smirked "he has a pool though, it's easy to blackmail him into using it."


message 219: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch nodded and walked towards the waffles with her, but a knock stopped him in his tracks. He frowned briefly, and then grinned. "Stay here, I'll take care of it." he said, coming up to the door and opening it. He beamed. "Hey man! Wassup?" Then his eyes fell on Lexi and he immediately growled. "What's she doing here?"

Lexi scanned the house, her eyes wide. "Yeah, no kidding..." She breathed, shaking her head. This house was insane. But using a pool sounded really nice. Then she gulped and shrank back a bit behind Damon, eyeing Torch warily.


message 220: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Damon step forward and growled ready to attack if needed "I turned her, you touch a hair on her head Torch and you won't like what happens next!" He snapped and sighed trying to get present again and handed him the food container "surprised you aren't skin and bones..." He smirked.

Mae followed behind him and blinked recognizing both of them and rushing to the angel "oh my gosh Lexi! I thought..." Well, she didn't say what she thought since both demons were present but she got the gist of it. She looked back at Torcb "invite them in" she urged trying to get him to calm down.


message 221: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch eyed Lexi and nodded slowly, relaxing then. "Sorry." He said, shrugging. "Reflexes." Then he grinned when Damon handed him the food. "Well isn't that just lovely. We might have left overs today!" He grinned. "Mae's been feeding me thankfully, or else I would be skin and bones." He said, chuckling.

Lexi's eyes widened when she saw Mae. She understood, as she had thought the same about her. "I'm so glad you're ok." she said, hugging the girl. "You are ok, right?" She asked hopefully.

Torch nodded in response to Mae. "Yeah. Come on in guys. Come on in." He offered, gesturing inside his house.


message 222: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Damon blinked looking at the pale girl, the way Torch reacted to her was quite interesting "So you turn her and get a housekeeper and cook?" He was trying to fight reflexes on hating the other angel, but that would be hypocritical of him.

Mae nodded and hugged her back "I'm fine...not an angel but, I think it's better this way...what about you?" She glanced at Damon warily not being able to trust him, he wasn't like Alex.


message 223: by Lara (last edited Jun 19, 2014 12:13AM) (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Torch chuckled softly, shaking his head. "More or less." He shrugged, grinning, not about to go into details of why he kept Mae around. "Looks like you did the same though old chap." He said, shaking his head. He really did not trust Lexi, but she and Damon were in the same situation as he and Mae, so who was he to judge. "Anyways! Come on in!" He said, gesturing for them to enter.

Lexi followed him and Mae inside warily. "Yeah. I'm ok. I turned too." She admitted. She smiled a little then. "It's been very nice to be honest. I guess you're in the same situation as me?"

((have to go for a couple minutes, then I'll be back.


message 224: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae overheard Torch's words and felt a pang, that's all she was good for? She tried to shake it away and smiled leading her friend to the couch "I am...it is nice, hard to get used to. I mean I turned into a bat for crying out loud!" She laughed lightly "I guess we'll become best friends like the guys huh?" That's what she hoped anyways.

Damon and Torch headed outside so they could talk privately "she chose it, I...I was going to let her go Torch, I couldn't hurt her...it was like she had already been killed inside...but when she found out I was going to be killed...she told me to turn her...it's weird, she's making me lose my mind and yet I like it." He never talked like this and he was worried Torch was going to lay him out for it.


message 225: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi listened and laughed when she did, nodding eagerly then. "I hope so." she said, smiling kindly at her. "So you're a bat?" She asked curiously, "That's awesome. I turned into this flying cat thing." She said honestly, laughing a little.

Torch listened to Damon, not interrupting him all the while. Then he raised an eyebrow. "She was already killed inside?" He asked softly, not entirely understanding. But the angel had turned to save Damon? What kind of move was that? Angels never saved demons. "She's making you lose your mind, and you like it?" He repeated, shaking his head. He smiled a little then. "If she's not good for you Damon, you've got to leave her. But from what I hear, I think you've got something going for her." he said, smiling.


message 226: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae laughed a little at her description "Being an angel was never this hard...or fun!" She admitted and sipped her water bottle "so are you getting along with your demon?" She asked curiously as she got a water bottle for Lexi.

Damon sighed "She was taken advantage of...Torch you have no idea what torture it was like just watching her...not even phased by pain. She makes me blush, and kiss her! I'm suddenly this sensitive sap and she thinks that's how I always am! But I just...I can't help it, you know?..."


message 227: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi nodded, smiling. "You can say that again." She sat down on the couch with Mae and folded her hands, looking at them and blushing softly. "I'm uh, he's... well..." She blushed redder.

Torch frowned then. Taken advantage of? Well that was unforgivable. His suspicions about the little redhead lessened a little. Torch laughed then. "Actually, yeah. I do know. It's the same with Mae." He admitted, shrugging. "You know Damon, I think you may be in love."


message 228: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae raised a brow and grinned "spill!" She said excitedly, is this what having a friend was like? It was fun she felt like she could tell Lexi everything and she would understand best because she was in the same situation!

Damon blinked and nearly coughed up his water "impossible! I am the most feared demon in the underground! How could I fall in love?!" It was appalling to think about. It certaintly would dim his reputation...but it was worth it if it made Lex happy...Dang it!


message 229: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi tugged at a strand of her hair. "Well... he's rather nice..." she said softly, a small smile crawling across her lips. "He's been so kind and gentle to me, and I know he could be the exact opposite, and he's just so... strong... and hands-" She blushed. "He's kinda cute." She amended.

Torch chuckled softly. "Denial's the clincher." He teased, grinning. "You're in looooove." He cooed. Then he patted his friend on the back. "You know it's not that big of a deal. It does happen to even the most feared people you know." He assured.


message 230: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae was practically bouncing on the couch she was so excited for her "you like him! That's the most romantic story ever!" She exclaimed and smiled "the way he protected you on the porch says how much he values you" she pointed out and grinned.

Dame groaned and slugged Torch in the arm "shut it or this fist is going down your throat...ugh what am I supposed to do? You know what happens when I shift...I could really hurt her if I become that attached and commited!"


message 231: by Lara (last edited Jun 19, 2014 01:19AM) (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi grinned, still blushing, "Yeah. I might like him a little." She admitted. "But just a little." She added, trying to deny it. "I don't know. It's so strange. I am afraid, of him, and getting close because of what happened a while a go, but yet, I want to be closer at the same time." She sighed, shaking her head. "I don't know what to do."

Torch rubbed his arm, still chuckling. Then he grew serious at his question. "Yeah. I know. And it's rather unfortunate." He admitted, sighing. "How do you know you will hurt her? You yourself said she brought out a gentler you, what if that is transferred to the demon as well?" he offered, trying to encourage his friend.


message 232: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae nodded "I'm feeling the same way..." She admitted and sighed "I look at my shoulder and wince angry and scared of Torch for hurting me...but he almost used up all of his energy to heal a burn...I don't know, it's confusing and complicated and you heard him I'm his housekeeper and cook in his mind.

Damon sighed "I melted the mind of this guy at her foster home that was harassing her...I would have killed him easily if it wasn't so public. I haven't changed I may be getting worse..." He whispered and ran a hand through his hair "Tell me about this Mae?..."


message 233: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi bit her lip and shook her head slowly, sighing. "What to do. This is just one crazy big confusing mess." She huffed. Then she smiled softly. "But why would he use his energy just to make you feel better if you were only a maid in his mind? That doesn't really line up."

Torch bit his lip. Getting worse? That would not be good at all. Not at all. "But you didn't hurt her when you were in that form, right?" Torch asked, hopeful. Then he smiled sheepishly. "She's nice." He said, shrugging. "Like with you and your girl, she brings out the best in me, which is strange, like you said, but nice. And she is funny, and lighthearted some of the time." He chuckled. "I'm working on that, but she's fun to be around, and I find myself wanting to be around her more and more often." He admitted.


message 234: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae paused and smiled "that's true...maybe we should just take it and run with it? What's the worse that can happen we are bonded to them for awhile and I'm pretty sure they are just as confused as we are...after all we are stunning and complicated creatures" she said dramatically and laughed.

Damien smirked listening to him "Boy, she has you wrapped around her little finger! You think I'm the one in love? Take a look in the mirror Torch, you've never talked about anyone like that...especially girls!"


message 235: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi grinned. She loved this. Loved having a friend she could talk to and joke with. It was great. "I think you're right." She agreed. Then she chewed her lip for a moment. "I just... I just wish I hadn't been raped. Then maybe I'd be more open to this. And less... less afraid." She said softly, shaking her head.

Torch shook his head. "She's a friend Damon, a very nice friend. That's all. I'm not a confused evil demon like you. I don't settle. For anything. I, and I know this for sure, am not in love." He insisted, shaking his head in denial.


message 236: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae frowned and hugged her close "if it makes you feel any better...I was sexually abused by my uncle, I died and became an angel...but you can't tell anyone! You are the only one I have ever told." She said seriously

Damien smirked "Denial is the clincher." He repeated and shook his head stretching tired of sitting. "Don't forget at the end of the month we need to take them to the Elders to prove themselves...or become eternal slaves. No pressure."


message 237: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi looked up at her, biting her lip. So she did understand. Lexi hugged her close, finding comfort herself, and trying to comfort her friend. "I won't tell." She promised. "I'm so sorry, that that happened to you. We can make it through this. I just hope I can heal. Damon doesn't deserve my fear." She said, sighing.

Torch glared, and then grinned. "Maybe." He admitted, shrugging. Then he nodded, sighing and running his hands through his hair. "Yeah. How could I forget? How on earth do we pull this off?" He asked, stressed.

((got to go. Love this rp by the way. See you at the end of the day. Or I guess the morning in your time :P))


message 238: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments ((Phew haha it's 3:00 in the morning here and I'm like ahh got to get to bed but she's on and it's too awesome! :P))

Mae smiled a little "I'm healed from it" she assured and sighed "I just have a hard time being carefree, Torch calls me a stick in the mud but it's hard to be that open and let go...but he deserves not having a boring and dull roommate, plus I do have fun with him."

Damien sighed "we just have to train them, perfect them. Lex turns invisible...and goes through matter, at least yours stays solid!" He teased and stood up "come on, the girls are going to chat all day. It's hot and I want to swim."


message 239: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments ((lol Yeah, I had to go on a day trip, and my fam was leaving, so yeah, guess it worked out. I'll be back again in like three/four hours or so :) ))

Lexi nodded and sighed. "Well I can relate to that." She said honestly. "I just hope it all works out. I mean, becoming a demon, and finding a crush in like two days is kinda a huge deal." She said, shrugging.

Torch laughed then. "Seriously? Well that one will be hard to work with. Good luck mate." He said, standing as well. "I honestly have no idea what my little angel can do yet." He said honestly. "Took a while for her form to show up, so it will probably be the same with the powers." Then he grinned and nodded. "Great. I'll go get changed. Do the girls have something to swim in, you think?"


message 240: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae smiled and nodded, it only had been two days?! It felt like so much more time with Torch. She hoped she wasn't just jumping to conclusions or letting her emotions control her. She smiled as the boys came in "well are you done with your secret meeting?"

Damon chuckled and went to Lexi and kissed her cheek, she looked happier maybe this Mae wasn't such bad news after all. "We want to go swimming!"
Mae grinned at Lexi "I have an extra suit you can wear!"


message 241: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi grinned and blushed softly when he kissed her. "Swimming sounds lovely!" She agreed, beaming. "Thanks so much." she replied to Mae when she offered to lend a swim suit.

Torch grinned. "It's settled then. Feel free to use the washrooms to change. I'll be in my room. Meet you all in the pool!" He said, racing upstairs to get changed.


message 242: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Mae smiled and led Lexi to her room and pulled out the other suit out of her bag. She whipped off her shirt and shorts already in her suit and smiled "my room is yours, I'll be downstairs!" She called out and ran down the stairs splashing into the pool.

Damon took the downstairs washroom to change since that's where he kept his clothes when he stayed over with Torch. Now those days were over they both had someone to take care of.


message 243: by Lara (new)

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi smiled and accepted the suit she handed her. A bikini, much like what Mae was wearing. She waited for Mae to leave before staring at that bikini. She hadn't been swimming in ages, and she had never worn a bikini before... She sighed softly and quickly changed into it, looking in the mirror. She immediately flushed bright red. She had certainly never been in as little clothes as this before. No one had ever even seen her stomach before, except of course, her attacker. She wrapped a towel tightly around herself and slowly walked downstairs and outside.

Torch finished up changed just as quickly as he could, slipping into his swim shorts and dumping his shirt on the bed before racing down the stairs, outside, and cannon balling into the pool. It was a comfortable temperature, not too hot, not too cold. He broke the surface, laughing and shaking his head to rid his hair of water.


message 244: by McKensie (new)

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Damon got dressed and met Lexi at the stairs, he immediately noticed the panic in her eyes and held her close "hey...what's going on?" He whispered quietly so only she could hear. He played with her hair trying to get her calmed down.

Mae laughed and splashed him "you almost landed on me you jerk!" She teased and jumped on his back pushing him under the water. She loved to play in the pool it was when she really could be her hyper wacky self!

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi hugged him back, but held up the towel. Should she tell him? No. It was silly. Mae had gotten over her wounds, she had to do the same. She had to push it into the past where it belonged, and move on. "It's ok." She assured, standing taller and trying to relax. "I'm ok. Honest." She smiled. "Ready to go to the pool?"

Torch grinned. "But I didn't." He teased. Then all of a sudden, he was under the water and he smiled softly to himself. So was this really what she was like? Deep down? He struggled and swam away from her, surfacing a little ways further. "And you almost drowned me!"

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Damon eyed her cautiously but nodded "yeah" he smiled and then paused "you can wear my shirt in the pool if that makes you feel better?" It was a hunch, did she not feel comfortable in a swim suit? He led her to the side of the pool and watched the chaos blinking "perhaps it would be safer staying out!" He chuckled.

Mae laughed and pouted "almost is the key word! And I would have gotten away with it if there weren't any witnesses!" She teased and splashed him swimming over to the edge and grinning at the others "Torch is lucky you showed up!"

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi nodded and smiled, but she determined not to take his offer. It was ok to be cautious, but she knew being reserved was not good. "I'll stay out for a bit and warm up, then I'll get in." She offered, walking over to a nearby lawn chair and reclining on it.

Torch laughed a little then. "Yeah yeah sure. I think I could have handled myself thank you very much." He retorted. He eyed Lexi for a moment, before grinning at Damon. "Come on in!" He urged.

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Damon smiled seeing that she was ok and then went over to the diving board and flipped off of it landing with a huge splash. He surfaced and shook out his dark hair and grinned "who's up for a race?

Mae grinned "I'm game!" She swam to the other side of the pool "let's have a underwater race, swim back and forth and whoever comes up first to take a breath loses!"

Lara (gurlwhowrites) | 8327 comments Lexi watched all the fun and found herself wishing that she was brave enough to join in. She felt like a loser on the side as she was, and she hated herself for it. Come on. Get a grips! Get over it! She found herself watching Damon in particular. He was so... well... Lexi blushed. Especially when he has his shirt off...

Torch shrugged. "Sounds good to me." He said, smiling at both of them. When they were touching the wall, he nodded and counted down from three outloud, before taking a huge breath and starting off on the race.

McKensie (that-one-girl) | 5564 comments Damon took a breath and dove down he swam quickly barely making a splash as his legs moved quickly going to the wall and then turning heading back the other way.

Mae smirked mischievously and quickly and silently got out of the pool as the race started, she grinned at Lexi and motioned her over as she crept to the freezer and grabbed the huge container of ice.
