McKensie and Lara
Mae grinned "the water is a bit too comfortable for the guys, I think they'd appreciate it if we cooled them off..." She gave an evil smirk and motioned for Lexi to get the other container as they crept back to the pool and dumped it in slowly so that they wouldn't notice at first.Damon was at 5 laps now he kept seeing Torch swim by, but what about the girl? She was probably lagging behind them, girls weren't that fast. He blinked feeling the temperature change a little, maybe a cloud moved over the sun. He was determined to win so he kept going.
Lexi grinned and quickly grabbed the other container, waiting for Mae to pour hers into the water, before hauling her tub over and slowly dumping it into the water. She grinned and watched as the ice mingled with the water, sure to chill it. "Well I think that will do the trick."Torch felt the temperature slowly start to change from nice, to cool, to a little too cold to be comfortable and he frowned. Are there clouds? Is it raining? What caused that? He could feel the heat in him start to dim, and his vision grew a little fuzzy, but he was determined not to give up, so he kept swimming.
Mae watched and frowned, they were reacting yet! "We need more ice..." She hurried back in and waited for the ice maker to make another tub and brought it back and dumped more of it in. She glanced at Lexi wondering if she had any other ideas.Damon blinked, now it was cold! He felt like the time he had been dated to jump into that lake in Alaska...oh wait that was Torch that dared him. He couldn't take it much longer! Come on Torch come up first you can't handle the cold as easily! He begged in his mind.
Lexi nodded and smiled. "Keep the ice coming. They have to notice at some point." She said, shrugging. Then she laughed softly. "Either they have no reaction to cold what so ever, or they're too competitive to stop because of the ice." She offered, walking over to the ice machine to get more. "But I'm sure we can make them come up."Torch's movements had started to slow, and that frustrated him. He tried to move faster, not give up, still win, but his internal heat was spluttering, dying. Still he ignored the warning signals in his head and continued. And that was when his fire went out, and he went unconscious almost immediately, sinking slowly to the bottom of the pool - motionless.
Mae blinked feeling something very wrong, her heart was racing and she didn't think twice before swan diving in. The cold water hit her hard and she gasped her breath being taken away immediately but she dove deeper grabbing Torch and getting him to Damon before feeling her muscles numb and she couldn't swim.Damon quickly got Torch out and swore getting warm towels and rubbing his body vigorously his face screwed in concentration. He blinked seeing Mae struggle and helped her out quickly before she sank lower.
Mae gripped onto Damon her lips slightly blue she felt so stupid and guilty "it's all my f-f-fault" she chattered and watched Torch worriedly. "This was a stupid idea!" She didn't want him to get hurt...this is what happens when she tried to be herself...nothing good.
Lexi watched, absolutely horrified. What was wrong with Torch? He was completely limp on the tiles beside the pool, and he looked almost bedraggled lying there quietly. She chewed her lip, her heart pounding in fear. Had she caused this? Had she hurt someone else? That thought made her feel sick. Torch was a lot paler than he should be, and his skin was cold, no longer heated by the fire that should have been burning inside him. Not only was his body as cold as ice, but he had also breathed in a good deal of water when he went unconscious.
Mae shoved Damon out of the way and started pumping his chest and opened his mouth and gave two breaths. Over and over again she didn't stop though everything hurt on her body. She looked at Damon and Lexi "get heating pads, warm blankets anything you can find!" She yelled. She hurt him...twice in one day now, both her fault. Who was she kidding, she didn't deserve to be turned by him.Damon rushed in trying to grab everything he could find to get his friend warm. He needed to tell the Elder's but Mae would be punished and likely killed...what was he supposed to do?!
Lexi nodded, glad to have something to do besides standing and watching helplessly. She ran into the house, tearing down towels and blankets from shelves, anything she could find. She raced back to Torch and Mae and started to pack the materials she had found around Torch, cocooning him in them.About fifteen minutes later, Torch's eyes slowly opened and they widened slightly when he found Mae's mouth on his. He coughed and jerked into a sitting position. "Rather eager, aren't we?" he asked feebly, before twisting and throwing up a good deal of water. Then he sank back down to the ground, shaking from weakness.
Mae sighed in relief and let Damon lift him and take him to his bedroom, she didn't want to be near him now that she knew he was going to be ok. She kicked the ice bucket angrily and grabbed her clothes "tell Damon I'll be back later..." She mumbled to Lexi and took off in her bat form needing to get out of there.Damon turned up the heat and got Torch all tucked into his bed and put of his wet clothes he sighed getting him warm tea and soup. "No wise cracks just get some rest..." He muttered.
Lexi bit her lip, feeling badly for Mae. She wanted to go after her and talk with her, but she didn't want to intrude where she wasn't welcome either. "Ok." She said softly, sighing. Torch shook his head, trying to get up, but he was far too weak to move much. "I have to get Mae." he insisted, struggling to sit up. "She looked upset. I have to help her." He said, trying to crawl off his bed.
Damon pushed him down with one hand back into the pillows "Lexi is with her, you need to relax!" He said seriously and raised a brow at him daring him to argue "Right now you aren't Torch, you are Popsicle and until that flame comes back you are staying in this bed!"
Torch glared at him, but did not argue. He huffed long and slow to show his displeasure, and folded his arms stubbornly. "Fine." he growled. "But just until the fire picks up again."Lexi paced around the pool, back and forth, back and forth, trying to decide what to do. Finally she decided to go after Mae. She had been gone too long. Shifting quickly into her demon form, she took off to the skies, searching for Mae. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her back, and then her world went dark.
Damon smirked and nodded motioning to the soup "come on don't make me feed you" he teased and then felt a sharp pain "Lex..." He said breathing through the pain. Uh oh the girls weren't near them.Mae was unconscious at the bottom of the valley, she was badly wounded back into her human form.
Lexi didn't know what had hit her. She thought she was blind for a while, but then the dark clouds cleared, and she could see again. But the pain never left. It was a sharp stabbing pain that restricted her breathing. She screamed and closed her eyes not caring how or where she hit the ground anymore.Torch gasped and started to struggle, trying to get upright again. "I have to go.... get her..." He panted.
((probs last post :( ))
Damon quickly used his gift of teleportation and caught her before she fell, he held her close to his chest feeling the pain ease "Lexi...don't scare me like that ever again!" He quickly got them both home and pushed Torch back down "I'll find her! Stop, you know you aren't strong enough!"
Torch knew he wasn't. But he also knew that he and Mae were dying from being separated. "Hurry." He croaked, relaxing limply.Lexi clung to Damon, scared out of her wits by what happened. "I'm I'm sorry." She stammered, tears filling her eyes. "I don't know what happened..." She whispered.
((Last post. bye. :) ))
Damon kissed her head "it's ok...it's ok, you were just helping your friend..." He watched Torch worriedly and then disappeared trying to follow Mae's energy and swore when he found her. She needed to get to a hospital! But Torch couldn't be apart from her! He brought her back and got her on her bed hoping Torch wouldn't get too curious.
Lexi ran in to Mae's room, and shrieked when she saw her. Her face paled and she just stared. "We have to help her!" She exclaimed. "We have to! We have to save her!"Torch shifted, feeling Mae's energy again. "Where is she?" He asked softly to no one in particular. He tried to sit up again. "Where is she? Where is Mae?"
Damon felt so conflicted, he swallowed listening to both of them. Why was he the buffer?...he quickly and quietly called an ambulance, Torch would just have to go with her. He kissed Lexi's head "it's going to be fine..." Like he really knew that, but what else could he say?!He went back to Torch and pushed him back down, he closed his eyes and focused the energy from him to Torch similar to what Torch did earlier for Mae but he wouldn't lose that much energy. He pulled back when he felt the flame again and he had to pull his hand away from the heat.
Lexi nodded and chewed her lip, nervous. If he said it was ok, then it was ok. She believed him. She watched as an ambulance came and loaded Mae up on a stretcher, before carting her into the back of the large white vehicle. Torch felt himself grow stronger and when his fire started again. He jerked up in bed. "Where is she?" He asked, frantic. "Where is she?" He demanded again, practically bounding out of bed. "Tell me what happened!" He begged.
Damon swallowed not knowing how to explain to him, he pulled him up grabbing his jacket and putting it on him as he practically pushed him to the ambulance "she needs you." He said seriously "Lexi and I will come up later..." The panic and urgency in Torch's voice pained him, he'd be just so even more if this was Lexi.
Torch stared at the body on the stretcher. Was that... was that Mae? It was so mangled, he couldn't tell anymore. A cry built into his throat and he tried to strangle it, a feeble whimper managing to escape. He grabbed what he thought was her hand and bowed his head. "Mae." He whispered. "Mae, I will save you." he promised. Even if it took up every last ounce of his energy, he would do it, for her. Lexi watched as the ambulance doors slammed and the truck drove off. She reached over to Damon, hesitantly slipping her hand into his. "They'll be ok now, right?" She asked hopefully. She couldn't lose her only friend right after she had just found her.
Mae felt his hand in hers, she felt stronger with him near her again. She tried to move her fingers to squeeze his hand and managed to lightly. Her eyes opened still as blue as can be "A...lex" she whispered. He needed to know she was still there, she wasn't giving up because she needed to stay with him.Damon hugged her tightly to him, he just needed to feel her to know she was still there with him. That could have been his Lexi...and it would have killed him "Just stay..." He wasn't thinking about the others at that moment because it was just so much, she kept him grounded made him feel stronger.
Torch perked up when he heard his name. "Yeah." he whispered. "I'm here. I'm not going anywhere, don't worry." He said, gripping her hand like he was afraid to let go. "You're going to be ok, Mae, I promise." He assured her, his eyes filled with worry. Lexi hugged him back, leaning against him. She felt so weak and dizzy. It was too much to take in. Two people had almost died in the span of fifteen minutes. What if that had been her and Damon? She couldn't fathom it. "I'm not going to leave you." She assured.
Mae felt her body get stronger, there was a slight glow that came from her hand connected to his. She was scared that he was giving her his energy but he looked the same. It was something more that couldn't be explained she leaned her head close to him just wanting to be held by him. The paramedics were working hard around them and were shocked at her vitals getting better.Damon kissed her head and rubbed her back "I'm never going to leave you...you are my life now and it's more of a life in these few days then ever before." He led her back inside looking for things to take for both of them at the hospital, they were going to be fine...he kept repeating to himself in his head.
Torch watched as a glow picked up between them and he smiled, tears of happiness filling his eyes. He desperately wanted to hold her, but the paramedics kept pushing around and working on her, and he knew they would just push him off again. "You will be ok." He said again, more sure this time. Never going to leave her? Did that mean... did that mean he felt something for her? Did that mean... he loved her? Lexi's heart started to pound and she stopped just staring at him.
They arrived at the hospital and Mae was quickly rushed out, the minute her hand was pulled from Torch's she blacked out again as they rushed to the operating room. The nurse stopped Torch from following and lead him to the waiting room "can I get you anything?..." Damon packed an overnight bag for Torch and glanced at Lexi, why was she staring at him like that?...did he say something wrong? "Can you grab things Mae might want?"
Torch panicked when he felt her hand slide from his. He thought about charging after her, but he knew he shouldn't put up a fight in a human infested hospital. "No, I'm ok, thanks." He assured the nurse, sitting down heavily on the bench beside him. Lexi stayed still for another moment. Then, as if her feet were moving on their own, she walk up to him, stood on her tip toes, and kissed his lips gently. Sinking back down, she blushed and shook her head. "I'm sorry... I don't know what came over me... I just..."
Damon didn't let her finish as he cupped her face and kissed her deeply, letting himself enjoy her warmth and taste. If this was what love was then he was alright with ruining his reputation "Lex...I...I" he never got nervous! "I love you..." He whispered finally.
Lexi didn't know what this was, that she was feeling, but it certainly was not fear. Oh no. It was much nicer. Warm, and comforting, and a little exciting. She slowly wrapped her arms up around his neck, pressing herself a little closer. When he broke away and whispered something, she flushed and smiled. "I love you too Damon." She said softly, looking up shyly into his eyes.
Damon felt an excitement fill him, like a bubble rising he cleared his throat trying to stop grinning like an idiot but he couldn't. "We better get to the hospital...Torch may go on a rampage..." He smiled and pecked her lips again and grabbed the bag.
Lexi nodded, her smile growing when his did. Life was suddenly exciting and colorful and absolutely wonderful. "Yes of course." She squeaked, racing off to grab some things for Mae. She joined him downstairs again, smiling at him before practically skipping over. She restrained herself, luckily. "So, we going to fly?" She asked.
Damon nodded and packed everything into one bag and lifted her in his arms kissing her again before taking flight. They had to be more calm and respectful when they got to the hospital, but it was so hard! They were in love! Damon landed and went to the waiting room and found Torch, he looked awful "hey" he said quietly his bubble drifting back down.
Lexi enjoyed the ride to the hospital, just like she always did. But this time, even more. She felt like she was so happy that she could never be sad again. Never. But then they landed and walked into the hospital, and she saw a huddled form in one of the chairs in the waiting room. She bit her lip. Torch didn't look up. He kept his head in his hands, his shoulders hunched in miserable defeat. "Hey." He said softly, huddling up smaller.
Damon sat by him and put his hand on his back "she's going to be fine Torch..." He said quietly and swallowed he hated seeing his friend like this "I brought your stuff...so you can stay with her every minute..." He felt guilty being so happy with Lexi, while his best friend was worried about his angel and whether she was going to be ok.The nurse walked out "Alex Milton? Mae is in her recovery room now if you'd like to see her." She said with a small smile "her surgery went great and she pulled through, she's going to be just fine."
Torch nodded, rather forlornly. "Thanks." He said simply. He straightened when some one called his name. He nodded eagerly then, and brightened considerably when they said she would be ok. "Yes. Yes I'd like to see her please." he said, standing. Lexi smiled when they said Mae would be fine. Thank goodness. She slipped her hand into Damon's and gave it a light squeeze. "Everything is ok now, right? Mae will be fine?" She asked, trusting Damon's word more than the nurse's.
((g2g. Leaving to the airport. Bye! :) ))
((Bye!!))The nurse smiled and led him to her room, Mae was looking more like herself she was still asleep but she had her coloring back and wasn't mangled. Her eyes fluttered when he entered the room instantly feeling his energy.
Damon smiled and kissed her head "yeah, everything is going to be perfect...Torch is going to heal the rest and it'll be like it never happened!" He said positively and he felt like that really was true. But he was also a sap in love so everything was rainbows and sparkles.
Torch immediately lit up when he saw her and he ran across the room to her bed. He held her hand in both of his, kissing it gently. "Mae..." He whispered, closing his eyes. He immediately started to let his energy flow from him into her, beginning the healing process. Lexi nodded and smiled. "Ok." she said, happy now. She hugged him, positively giddy about being in love with him. "So what happens now?" She asked him, smiling. "Are we in a relationship? Or dating? Or a couple? Or what?" She asked.
Mae leaned into him and gently played with his hair, she smiled and put her head on his shoulder "hi..." She whispered her voice still weak but was getting stronger. "Torch...I didn't...mean to"Damon chuckled "all of the above?..." He nuzzled her and pecked her cheek "I'm just happy you are mine! I'm happy that you want me back and that you trust me to protect and take care of you."
((back home again :) ))Torch shook his head, holding her close against him, afraid that if he let go he would lose her again. "It's ok. We're both ok now. It wasn't your fault." He assured, kissing the top of her head gently.
Lexi smiled and nodded, closing her eyes and melting into his arms when he kissed her cheek gently. She nodded and smiled. "I am yours. And yours only. And I do trust you." She confirmed, leaning against him. "I trust you with my life."
Mae shook her head "it was my fault! I just wanted to play a joke...I didn't want to hurt you Torch, please..." She pleaded hugging him close and nuzzling in she just wanted to sleep in his arms forever.Damon smiled "I have to train you and make you perfect for the Elders...so we have to work together alright? So if I'm strict I'm sorry doesn't mean I don't love you...I just don't want to be an eternal slave."
Torch shook his head. "It's ok. You didn't know I am sensitive to the cold. Comes with the dragon thing I guess. And the name. I'm seriously flammable as well. So no fireplaces. Please. Just to warn you." He said, smiling. He hugged her tighter. "I was so worried about you."Lexi raised an eyebrow. "Train me? What Elders? I'm fine with you being strict. You've already tortured me. Doubt it can get worse than that." She teased, elbowing him. "And what's with the eternal slave thing? What do you mean by that?"
Mae smiled and touched his face "I thought I was just the housekeeper and cook." She teased and then winced losing breath for a little and putting the oxygen mask back on and leaning on his chest feeling safe and comfortable.Damon sighed "You have to prove yourself to be a powerful Demon to the Elders...of the underground. If you don't pass you get a new bounded and I get the choice of being killed or an eternal slave."
Torch winced. "I couldn't have said more in front of the others." He said softly. "That is not all you are, not to me." He added, smiling gently down at her. Oh no. She was much more than that. Lexi sucked in a breath. "Great. Just great." She breathed, the panic rising in her voice. "And how am I supposed to do that? My demon is a kitten with wings." She exclaimed, stressed. He was going to die or become a slave if she didn't pull through. No pressure.
Mae smiled and kissed his lips gently, her eyes were drooping she was exhausted but she just wanted to stay up with him. She pushed the pain medication button and sighed in relief "I want to go home..."Damon smiled "you'll do just fine! We just have to get that invisibility under control. You could be terrifying and then they'll truly allow you in and we can be together."
Torch grinned when she kissed him. He hadn't been expecting that, but he was warmed and excited by it. "Of course." He replied, nodding. Unfurling hjs wings, he carefully unhooked her and quickly exited the hospital.Lexi sighed. "Yeah. I guess." She agreed, not entirely convinced. "When do we start practicing?" She asked, eager to get as good as possible sk she could save damon.
Mae smiled and held onto him tightly as they flew, she hurt but she'd feel better when she got back home with him. She fell asleep in his arms before they got home.Damon felt them leave and smiled "ready to get back home?"
Torch, not wanting to wake her, just carried her gently upstairs and then into her room. He lay down with her, curling up with her again. He smiled softly at her. "Sleep well and get better."Lexi nodded eagerly. "Yes. Lets go." She agreed. She wanted some time just her and him. Away from the crowds. She slipped her hand into his and smiled.
((G2g. See u in the morning :) ))
-skipping about a week-Mae grinned and jumped on Torch's back, she was healed and she was training with Torch though she still didn't know her powers. "I got you!"
Damon grinned and started the stop watch "alright...go!" They were testing how fast so could go invisible and then visible.
Torch swam as fast as he could, never letting any of his air out, not even a bubble. He was unaware that Mae had gotten out of the pool, he just kept swimming, determined to win.
