McKensie and Lara
Mae blinked but struggled jerking backwards, but she didn't have enough leverage and toppled landing on top of him and blushed smiling "oops!" She giggled.Damon grinned "it's a new record Lex! You are going to be perfect soon!"
Torch grinned. "I wouldn't expect you to be perfect the first try. It takes practice." He said, shrugging. "Any sign of powers yet?" He asked hopefully. He had never expected that it would take this long for her to find them. Lexi smiled, resting her hands on her knees. "Thank you." She said, looking down for a moment as she caught her breath. "Soon, but not yet." She sighed. "And only three weeks left..."
Mae sighed deeply and shook her head as she pecked his lips before sitting up "maybe I just won't get them..." Though that was the last thing she would want, how else was she going to prove to the Elders? She groaned frustrated and whipped her hand causing a hurricane to go through the living room.Damon nodded "you'll be fine." He assured "The Elders will accept this time...but I know you can do better. I have faith in you love...go get some water and a snack you need a break."
Torch watched as a hurrican tore through his house and his eyes snapped wide open in surprise and he stared. "Did... did you do that?" He asked, looking at the living room, then back at her. Was that one of her powers, showing up finally?Lexi nodded and smiled, encouraged by his words. "Thank you." She said, going to the fridge and pulling out an apple, before pouring a glass of water. She bit down into the apple's sweet flesh, smiling softly as she snacked.
Mae blinked and looked down at her hand a little shocked then back and the enormous mess. "I suppose I...did?..." She was now a little freaked out and lightheaded which made it storm over their heads. Monsoon rains and crackling lightening. "Crap!"Damon came up behind her and smiled hugging her close and kissing her neck "I don't want to be a tough coach anymore." He practically pouted
Torch chuckled. "Yup. Definitely you." he watched the storm and sighed. This was a mess he couldn't clean with magic. He needed to get it under control, fast. "Ok. Try to breathe deep and calm down. If you are relaxed, and focused, the powers will die down." He encouraged her. Lexi smiled and closed her eyes. "Mmmm. Well I really like what you're doing now." She cooed, turning her head to the side so she could kiss his cheek.
Mae felt now super guilty about this whole mess and couldn't calm down! A rumbling earthquake shook under them and the rain turned to snow. She buried her face in her hands and curled up into a ball crying.Damon smiled and kissed her lips lovingly "when this is all over you and I are going on a long vacation..." He promised and nuzzled her taking a bite of her apple and grinned.
Torch swayed a little, trying to stay upright as a huge earthquake shook the house. Well, she'll have no problem getting the Elder's approval... He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her onto his lap. "Hey. Don't cry. Please don't cry. I'm here ok? Just focus on us. Not on the storm, just on you and me." He instructed softly, kissing her cheek. Lexi lit up. "That sounds absolutely lovely." She said dreamily. "I'll hold you to that." She grinned. Then she hit his arm playfully. "Hey! Get your own!"
Mae curled up into his strong warm arms and leaned into his chest feeling his heartbeat softly. She sighed softly and the earthquake stopped, she kissed his chin and nuzzled into the crook of his neck and the snow stopped and everything returned the way it was except for the huge mess.Damon chuckled "but yours always taste better!" He protested and pecked her lips. "Alright I guess our next focus is walking through solid matter right?"
Torch smiled, stroking her hair as she leaned into him. "That's it." He whispered as he watched the earthquake and storms stop. He smiled down at her, kissing the top of her head. "Well I guess we know what your powers are." He said, trying to cheer things up. Lexi nodded nervously. To be honest, she didn't really want to practice this one, or use it at all. Getting stuck halfway in a wall was extremely painful, as she had figured out pretty quickly. "Yeah." She agreed, sighing softly.
Mae sighed a little not too excited about that bit of information "now I know why it took so long...it's too overwhelming!" She felt dangerous and curled closer to Torch to keep herself calmed down. She was scared that she couldn't control it and they'd punish Torch for it. Damon rubbed her back "you will be fine...we have to train every aspect of your powers to impress the Elders. I know you can do this..." He soothed kissing her head. "We will try thin walls first" he went to the garage and got different size walls he created for this purpose.
Torch rubbing her arms gently. "Hey. It may be at first, but you can take control I know you can." He smiled softly. "You have a lot more control than I first did. For the first week everything I touched burst into flames." He said, smiling sheepishly. "I had to live in an empty basement for a while." He admitted. Lexi nodded, breathing deeply as she tried to find the courage that seemed to have deserted her right then. "Ok." She agreed. "I'll try." She took a couple steps back from it and ran at the wall at a jog, hoping to get through it faster. She closed her eyes for the actual passing and was surprised to run smack into the wall, not passing through it at all. Utterly embarrassed, she tried again, and managed to pass through this time, but very slowly, and with a lot of focus. She shook her head, looking away from the wall. "I can't do it." She whispered.
Mae giggled and nuzzled him "I doubt I can set you aflame! But hey, if you catch on fire I can make it rain! Teamwork!" She loved being with him, he was her best friend and confidante.Damon frowned "if you keep saying that you won't be able to...you did just fine, it's hard. When I first transported I would leave half my body or an arm or leg behind. I felt stupid and like I couldn't do it...but I practiced and now it's my favorite and most useful one."
Torch laughed softly. "How reassuring." He teased. "I'm good with the fire mostly now. Just... no candles near me, ok? Just in case." He said, grinning. He brushed her bangs behind her ear. "If you want to practice though, I suggest we go outside." he said, glancing at the living room. Lexi sighed and raked a hand through her hair. "It's very hard to believe that I'll ever like this one. But if you insist..." She stared at the wall determinedly and started to walk through it. When she did, it felt like she was walking against a current, or a strong wind, but she did pass through. "You're right. It's hard." She said, glaring at the wall. Oh how she wanted to kick it right now.
Mae sighed at the mess "sounds good...but let's clean this up, I'm so sorry about your lovely house..." She started to pick up all the trash and put things back in their rightful place. She glanced at the picture of them and smiled, she was still recovering and he was sitting on her lap in bed with a thermometer in his mouth pretending to be ill.Damon frowned seeing how angry she was and hugged her close "if it's that horrible you don't have to do it..." He whispered, though they had to come up with something to really wow them!
Torch shook his head. "Don't be sorry. I trash this place too many times to count." He said, both joking and serious. He immediately got to work helping her clean, which didnt take as long as he thought it would. "Not bad for having a hurrican come through here." He teased, surveying the room.Lexi shook her head determinedly. "No. Ill get it. I just have to practice more I guess." She said, sighing. She walked towards the wall and passed through it slowly again, but a little faster.
Mae laughed a little and showed him the picture "I didn't know you had framed this, you dork!" She teased and pecked his cheek and then nipped at him. She went to the kitchen scavenging for food "why doesn't Damon being anymore left overs?" He was a good cook!Damon grabbed his stop watch and grinned pressing the button "that's faster then last time, alright let's get training!"
Torch laughed. "Its a nice pic!" He protested, smiling. He followed her to the kitchen and hoisted himself onto the counter. "Ahh too busy I suppose." He rolled his eyes.Lexi nodded and her lips pressed into a thin line as she focused on passing through that wall as fast as she could.
"Oh yeah super attractive! You can hardly even tell it's me under all of the bruising! We need a better one!" She sat next to him on the counter and leaned back into the cupboards "he should be more considerate of his best mate dying from starvation"Again and again they practiced till it just came second nature to her. Damon grinned and kissed her deeply "that's my girl! You tell me where we are going for vacation!"
Torch raised his hands in surrendur. "Ok ok!" He grinned. Then he nodded seriously. "Thats what I said. But aparently Lexi takes up all of his time now." He said, huffing.Lexi grinned proudly and kissed him back, before running kisses down his jaw to his ear. "Somewhere alone with you, in the sun." She whispered in his ear, kissing it gently.
Mae smiled a little and lay on his chest kissing his jaw "aww someone is jealous..." She nuzzled him "we could go out to eat you know?..." She mused. It was sad that she was this lazy and didn't want to cook, but she still got drained at the end of the day.Damon shivered and eyed her kissing the side of her mouth and slipping his hands to her waist "you got it...just us, I won't even bring my cell phone."
Torch smiled and kissed her cheek. "Yes we could." He agreed. "Do you want to go for supper tonight?" He asked, his gold eyes watching hers as he waited for an answer. Going out sounded really nice.Lexi smiled and started kissing down his neck. "Perfect." She agreed. She shivered when she felt his hands on her waist. She had freaked out the first time he did that, but now she felt it was quite nice. She was trying to be brave and adventurous for him. She was trying to not be afraid.
Mae smiled and nodded "we can make it a nice date...dress up and stuff" she pecked his lips "that is even you even own anything that isn't t-shirts and jeans" she smirked and flicked his nose.Damon took it slow with her, she was still healing but he didn't want her to be afraid. He wanted to love her all of her but he knew how fragile that side of her was. He caressed her waist and smiled down at her "I love you"
Torch laughed. "Hey! They're comfy!" He protested. "But yes. I do own one suit I believe. And only because Damon forced me into buying it." He grinned, kissing her nose. "But I'll wear it. If you want me to." he smiled.Lexi broke away from his neck and smiled up into his eyes. "I love you too." she said softly, kissing his lips gently. "Thank you. By the way. For being gentle and patient with me. I know I can be annoying sometimes."
((I am going now for a little while. Wont be back till tonight.))
Mae smiled a little and nodded holding him close "and I have a couple nice dresses so this will be fun right?" She looked up at him loving how handsome he was and those few freckles that gave him that playful look.Damon shook his head "I love you, and that means making sure that you are comfortable and happy...I am going to take it as slow as you need alright?"
((lp))Torch nodded, grinning. "Of course it will be fun! I can't wait." He assured her, kissing her cheek. "Were would you like to go?"
Lexi nodded and smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "Thank you." She said softly, loving just spending time with him like this. He made her feel safe, protected, and brave.
((Bye :) ))Mae smiled and shrugged "surprise me!" She said eagerly and slipped off of the counter "I'm going to go get ready alright?"
Damon stroke back her hair and smiled rubbing her back "you're my most important priority right now, whatever you need I'll do it."
Torch groaned. "Great. What if you don't like it?" He asked, "Yeah. Sure. I better get ready as well." He agreed, trying to think of a place she might like as he headed to his room.Lexi nodded and smiled. Then she thought for a moment. "Why are you so worried about your demon side?" She asked. "I have heard you and Torch talking. Talking about how you isn't really you and honestly I have no idea what you're talking about." She said, sighing softly. "I guess what I am saying, is that I want to know you. All of you. The real you. So if this isn't you, what you're being around me... then..." She looked up at him.
Mae smirked and headed to her bedroom after getting showered. She glanced at her options and went for a red dress, it was sleeveless and black lace covered the shimmery fabric. She pulled the black leather jacket over, the one Torch bought her and slipped on heels while curling her hair down around her shoulders.Damon shut his eyes tight, once he thought he could escape that side she always brought it up again...he couldn't do it, it was harder and harder to stay in control these days with him being so open with her. "Please Lex...this is the best side of me...none of it is fake. I'm honest with you..."
Torch quicly showered and cleaned himself up before digging through his closet to find his one suit. Pulling it out, he carefully slipped it on, pleased to find that it fit well. He didn't have any flashy ties, so he ended up dressed in a white shirt, black pants, jacket and tie. He quickly combed his hair and walked downstairs to wait for her.Lexi sighed softly. "Im sorry. I just... I want you to be you. I dont want to fall in love with something fake." She said, looking down. She was worried that all of this was too good to be true.
Mae smiled and walked down the stairs and grinned at him, he looked so spiffy she wanted to just allow herself to make this friendship go forward to something else. "Hey...you clean up good Alex." She said taking his hand.Damon swallowed feeling sick to his stomach and nodded "yeah..." He sighed running his hand through his hair "I'm going to go shower ok?..."
Torch ginned and bowed. "Why thank you." He said, his eyes wandering over her slowly. "You look really good in that dress." He said, smiling at her. She looked really good, and he had a hard time keeping his eyes off of her.Lexi nodded. It was a very random response to her, but she wasn't going to question him. "Alright. Ill be here." She said, walking over to the sofa and plopping onto it.
Mae smiled and nudged him "don't go all sappy on me Torch! It's still me, annoying Mae" she leaned her head on his shoulder "where are we heading to? I'm starving!" Damon went up to the bathroom and sank in the empty tub sobbing, he didn't know what to do. She thinks he is fake, and he couldn't show her that side ever! Why couldn't things just stay nice the way they were? He loved her!
Torch smiled and lead her outside where he unlocked his car and opened her door befer opening his and slipping in, belting up and steppjng on the gas pedal.Lexi flicked on the tv and fliped through channels, looking at everything while she waited for Damon to finish up. Why was he always so distressed about his demon form? Lexi didnt understand.
Damon shakily took his phone and dialed Torch's number, he was going out of control and he didn't know what he would do next. Only Torch could handle him "T-Torch...I can't do it anymore!" He snapped into the phone gripping his hair.Mae blinked as his phone rang and watched him pull off the side of the road to talk.
Torch frowned at his phone. "What do you mean you cant do it?" He asked calmly. "You cant take it? Or you're losing control?" He inquired. He was worried about Damon, and wanted to know exactly what was going on.Lexi ended up falling asleep on the couch, the tv still on.
Damon explained the gist of what was going on, "she thinks it's fake...I just want to take this razor and end it!" He growled his voice already changing to the husky snarl. His eyes went pure black with a red pupil and he started to lose control of the demon inside.
Torch sighed softly. It was easy to tell, even over a phone, that his friend was distressed. "Hey, don't do that, please. I still need you, and from what I've heard of you and Lexi, so does she." He ran a hand through his hair, wondering what he could say to console his friend. "How do you know she thinks its fake? Maybe she's just worried it is. I probably would be too if someone was hiding par of themselves from me. Give her some time. I'm sure she'll forget about it." He encouraged.
Damon was losing far too much control, he body split and contorted into the creature of pure terror. He slammed his phone against the wall and turned it to dust. He gripped the sharp razor in his hand and completely ransacked and destroyed the bathroom till nothing was recognizable anymore. He snarled making an earth shattering screech and hiss.
Torch heard the line go dead and he swore. "Not good." He looked over at Mae. "Can Lexi handle herself?" he asked. "Can she defend herself?" he asked again, elaborating on the question. "Because she may need to."Lexi jerked awake. What was that? What on earth was going on? Was Damon ok? He should just be taking a shower, right? Lexi jumped up and ran upstairs, but when she got to the bathroom, she just stared in through the doorway, swallowing slowly. What she saw chilled her to the bone. She was frozen in place, her eyes locked on the creature, even though she wanted to look away. What was that!? Did it get Damon!? Lexi felt panic rising in her throat. But then she frowned a little as a thought crossed her mind, and the second it did, her mouth fell open a little. "D-Damon?" She asked hesitantly.
Mae swore "have you met that girl?! What are you waiting for drive!" She snapped worried about her friend. Damon's eyes glared at the being standing at the framework of the door. He had no thought process of who it was, he wasn't Damon anymore, he sauntered towards her, his claws scratching against the tiles like nails on a chalk board. He made another screech and then charged for her.
Torch obliged, stepping on the gas petal and speeding off towards Damon's house. They should reach it in 15 minutes, but he could cut it down to ten if he sped. Lexi backed up a little. "Damon?" she asked again, her heart thudding in her chest. She knew it was him. She could feel in her heart that it was him. It made sense now, why he was reluctant to shift. "Are you ok?" she asked him. As always, she was more worried about his needs than her own. And she honestly didn't believe that Damon would actually hurt her.
Mae just kept swearing trying not to think of the worse case scenario "why did she have to know this so freaking badly?!" That's all she would talk about and now she was in trouble.Damon snarled and ripped up the floorboards and the upper floor bannister of the stairs. He knocked her over by her knees sending her down the stairs. He jumped on the ceiling hanging by his claws and tore that up as well till it was nothing but plywood.
Torch sighed, swerving around a corner. "Don't ask me." He said, huffing and shaking his head. Girls confused him. He didn't even try to understand their reasoning. "Almost there. Another five minutes or so." He informed her. Lexi shrieked when she found herself tumbling head over heals down the stairs. Her ankle crunched sickeningly beneath her and she cried out, holding it in her hands once she was at the bottom of the stairs. She looked up at Damon in fear and crawled backwards away from him. "W-what are you doing?" She asked him, panicked.
Mae groaned putting her head in her hands "we don't have time!" She caused the rest of the cars to gently move to the side with an earthquake which sped their car forward to the house. She jumped out before the car was even turned off and ran inside finding Lexi. She froze in fear seeing that creature rip up the house, "come on Lex...Torch will get him back" she lifted her up and out of the house.Damon grabbed the blade in his claw and started ripping at his skin, once he heard her scream in pain. His human side was fighting hard and hated himself, he wanted to end this and not hurt anybody ever again! He promised her...
Lexi hardly noticed when Mae got there. She was just staring at Damon in pain, shock, and fear. She hardly noticed when she was carried outside by Mae, she was just stiff and staring, her hands shaking. Torch leaped out of the car and sprinted into the house, shifting into his demon form in mid leap. The dragon landed on Damon and knocked him to the floor, one claw on each of his limbs. He wrenched the blade away in his jaws and snapped it. He growled, his eyes flashing. Get a hold of yourself! Come on. I know you have more control than that!
Mae got her into the car and turned on the ignition quickly driving her best friend to the hospital. The girl was in shock and she couldn't even imagine what she was feeling "Lexi?...it's Mae. I'm getting you help..." Damon snarled knocking him over and panting lightly, green acid drool dripped from his mouth. He finally recognized Torch and slumped in defeat making a screech of sadness. His black skin was torn up but he didn't care, he hurt the only girl he could ever love...he noticed Mae had left with her, they were past the time that being apart would kill him but he wished he could just die.
Lexi looked over at her slowly, and her eyes lost some of the fear in them, but she didn't say anything. She clasped her hands together to stop the shaking and just stared off into the distance. Her heart was pounding out of control. She was in shock. Torch let himself roll before sitting up and folding his wings. There you go. He said gently. Lexi will be alright mate. Chin up. Can you shift back? He said, shifting himself as he asked. He put his hands in his pockets and watched his friend sadly.
Mae swallowed watching her and undid a hand and held it tightly in hers as she drove. She knew Torch would be ok but would Lexi and Damon ever be the same again? It hurt her to think about it. She parked and helped her friend out and grabbed a wheelchair getting her into an exam room.Damon slowly and painfully shifted back, he looked defeated and exhausted. He refused to look at his friend or the mess he caused...but he just stared at the blood at the bottom of the stairs...he did that. She would never trust him again, he lost her...
Lexi's face was set in grim determination. The second he started the stop watch, she frowned and focused. Then she went invisible, and about one second later, she was visible again, and then another second, invisible. It was still slow, but much faster than she had been before.
