Hey, Natasha, I have to go, see you tomorrow?
Hey, Natasha, I have to go, see you tomorrow?
(I have to go too. Goodnight!!)
Dani silently wondered where Skylar and Peter were.
(Is it still possible to join?)
(Sorry @Aeryn, I did not see your post til today otherwise I would have responded to it. Do you want me to flashback to a mysterious stranger helping Zander out of the storm drain.)
(If that's alright with you. No worries.)
(Okay thanks, do you want our characters to have a meeting 'today' (for them then to talk more then) )
(I suppose have them talk more then if you think that's best.)
"Well, my entire village was murdered, I was captured by a slave trader and sold to a family where they beat, whipped, starved, shot, and…." Ace's voice trailed off, he really didn't like to talk about what happened at that place. "I don't feel like talking anymore." he said, his glasses fogging up with tears as Ace wiped them off with his arm.
(sorry I was gone so long! thx for waiting :D)
(Sky and Peter, where are you guys? ):
(I'm altering Macha's height, she is now 5'11'' and a half)
(oh, and @Nerd, Mace idea: Ace running his fingers through the cracks in Macha's face? Macha accidentally fogging up his glasses with her breath and cleaning them with her fingers so that she can see Ace's eyes again? Macha is really tired right now, so her falling asleep with her head against Ace's shoulder?)
(oh, and also: what do the glasses look like?)
Macha shut the door behind her and approached Rhea quietly, wondering where Skylar was. She sat down cross-legged beside her deeply sleeping form, debating on waking her friend up as all the rush of the day caught up with her, leaving her exhausted. She raised her hand to nudge her gently awake, but then lowered it, feeling sorry for her old friend. Rhea's barely slept this week, especially after she snuck out to visit her and Jason's old flat. If she didn't wake up when Ace rushed me in, she must be half-dead from exhaustion, the poor girl. I should let her sleep. A muffled noise sounded from one of the other rooms, and Macha raised her head, mildly concerned. Maybe Ace is back…, she thought, wishing hard.
Ace was a miracle, paradise. He was what brought her back from the depression the trauma, what brought her consolation and solace, sheltering her and giving her a safe place to rest and just be. Oh, Ace. How did I manage to fall for you like this? She sighed contentedly, thoughts orbiting around the thought of him.
Macha loved everything about Ace, the way she could get lost in his dreamy violet eyes, the way her heart beat frantically when he pulled her close to his chest, the way his strong arms held her like he would never let go. The way the sharp, tough edge was lifted from his gaze when his eyes swept over her, looking not at her skin, her face, her hair, but at her mind, her heart, as if he understood. And in a strange way, he did. Ace was the only person left in the world who really understood her, deeply. Rhea was her best friend, but not even she could see what was going on, not even she could tell when something was wrong if she buried it deep enough. Something deep inside of Macha blossomed when Ace spoke to her, when his voice dropped down a notch and lost some of its rough, hardened quality and became gentler, softer. Macha ached to be close to him, to feel the warmth and love radiating from him, to belong.
She got up unsteadily, walking towards the door with a slight limp, wings spread for balance. She exited, and caught a glimpse of him in Dani's room, speaking softly, and her heart leaped, although sharply yanked back down by something like black jealousy. Macha quickly expelled it, scolding herself, and saw that both Ace and Dani's faces was streaked with tears. Concern bloomed in her eyes, and she knocked softly on the doorframe. "Dani? Ace? Are you alright?"
(that was cheesy lol. * sighs* I love cheese…)
XD, sadly im MIA while waiting for irish to respond :( rn they're about to fly around )
(ah I see ):
@TopazWyrmlet~ The glasses are…..Well they were Dani's brothers glasses so…..I would say browline glasses, but I don't really know…
Also, love the MACE ideas!
(thanks! can't wait to use them, lol)
Now all we need is Natasha.
Where are you? Natasha!!!!
(Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii)
(heeeyyyyyy)
Dani took a deep, shaky breath. "Yeah, we're fine. I-I had a bad dream. Ace and Josh heard me screaming." She looked back at Ace. "You don't have to say anymore. It's fine." She smiled at him. "Thanks. My brothers were the only ones who could calm me down."
Macha padded forward gently, leaning forward to give Dani an almost sisterly hug, wrapping her up in strong grey wings.
Dani hugged Macha back, happy to finally have somewhat of a family again. When she pulled away from Macha, she was laughing.
Ace laughed too, but he mostly kept his eyes on Macha, glad to have her back and with him.
Dani slid off her bed. "I'm hungry. I haven't eaten for two days." She stated lightheartedly.
"I had chips!" Ace exclaimed proudly. He took Macha's hand and brushed his lips on the top of it, "But, I'll eat with you if Macha's coming too."
*(OMG @Lil-Owl I've been waiting for youuuuuuuuuuu!!! i kind of can't continue, you're the one that is about to fly… can you please go? sorry, I'm sounding like a baby right now.)
XD no its fine! )
Peter took her up in his arms, and took a few powerful strides before his wings drew in a whooping downstroke, surging the two of them into the air past the trees. Being hugged against him, she could feel his breath of exhileration, and the quickening of his heart. Every time his wings pulled down, his torso tensed– having wings meant his body had to focus more musculature to his torso, to handle the load of feathered, but beautiful monstrosities that heron wings were.
@TopazWyrmlet~ WHERE ARE YOU? sorry! Capslock…
K, I'm back, but not for very long, sorry! I've been super busy all day!)
Macha's hand tingled as Ace brushed his lips against, and her eyes glittered with something all too familiar, making her smile. For a moment, it was just them, trapped in a bubble between time, but it popped too soon. Macha shrugged one shoulder absentmindedly, notincing with a rush of pleasure that Ace kept her hand enclosed in his. "I'm not that hungry, but sure, if Ace comes.", she admitted, really just wanting to be alone with Ace.
"I guess we're stuck in a circle then, aren't we?" Ace grinned at Macha, giving her a wink.
