From the forest, emerged Lues. "You honestly didn't think I'd just leave you alone, did you? After you ruined me? Oh no, after you cheat me and make me look bad in front of Mother I'm not going to let it go. She thinks I'm a DISGRACE! The sage of Autumn is not only the least well known, but is associated with lies and deceit. You've tainted me in a way I can never recover from. So, I seek to cause you the same pain you caused me every moment I can. It's a circle of life, my dear Mortimer." She tsked, watching Moe cry with a look of amusement. "You really did love the boy, didn't you? How foolish. You should know better." She leaned close, hissing in his ear before disappearing with a rustle of leaves.
"Everyone you love will die and it's nobody's cross to bear but your own."

Ally pouted, running ahead of Moe to reach the beach first and then waiting for him before giving Moe a quick peck on the lips. "I'm gonna go grab some firewood, mi amore. I'll be back in a few minutes." He jogged into the forest, getting half a mile in with an armful of firewood. A voice erupted seemingly all around Ally, startling him and causing him to drop the wood.
"I told him I'd break him. And now, the chance has finally presented itself."
A woman, draped in white emerged from behind an old oak tree. She smiled at him, tilting her head a little and circling his stock still form.
"I can see why he'd take interest in you. You are quite a looker. I'm going to love watching the light fade from those baby blue eyes of yours. I am Lues."
Ally snarled, rage swelling inside of him. L. That's who this must be. "Sadly, you won't be getting that privilege today you whore." She giggled, shaking her head in amusement. "Aren't you just adorable. So strong-willed. It would explain Mortimer's affinity for you, as opposites do attract and he's always been incredibly weak." At this, Ally saw red. Oh hell fucking no. He lunged forward, aiming to tackle the woman but squeaking in surpise when suddenly he was alone, a knife in his back. L was gone in a snap. He looked down, seeing the tip of the knife peek through his chest. At the moment, shock and adrenaline was numbing him and he took advantage of that. He stumbled his way back to the beach, falling on his knees as soon as he hit the sand. Blood soaked his shirt, while his eyes watered and he croaked out quietly. "Moe?" He felt his pulse slowing, and his vision was starting to tint black and fuzzy around the edges.

((Mi amore means my love in French tada))

Ally fist pumped in excitement, grabbing Moe's hand and pulling him down from the windowsill. "Let's go, then!" He pulled him all the way to the entrance of the hotel, and turned to look at him once they were outside. "Can you fly us to the beach? It's night, nobody would see! Please?"

Adopting Family

Taylor grinned at Jessica's arrival. She always loved it when she came over, her happiness practically engulfed Taylor. "Hey, Jessica!" She waved, smiling widely. "I would totally go with you, you know I'd love to, but I gotta help take care of the new rascals."

Adopting Family

Taylor rolled her eyes. "Mmhm, you're wounded alright. Whatever shall we do?" She turned to Helix, smiling softly. "Well, windywheels? Aren't you gonna introduce yourself to the fresh meat?" She ignored the knocking, god knows if it was another kid she'd start hugging them. People made her happy and she didn't want to scare them.

And that was that. They had decided to stay at the beach for awhile, and enjoyed their time there greatly. Their first kiss was 2 months later when Ally woke up one morning, shaken from a nightmare he had had. He sat up with a stare, to find Moe staring at him in worry. He had likely heard his noises of distress and was waiting for him to wake up. Ally then lunged forward, connecting their lips for a solid 15 seconds before pulling away and muttering their first "I love you."
A month after that, they headed out for Juneau, Alaska. They explored the caves and spend more nights than they'd care to admit kissing and sleeping under the Northern Lights. True to his hopes, Ally hadn't had a near death experience (minus falling off that one cliff that one time but there was water under it so eh) since. Of course, not everything lasted forever. They made their way back to the mainland US, and settled in Western Washington once again. After 6 months of traveling, they had returned to where they started. They had been staying in a hotel at Gray's Harbor for 2 weeks now, Ally paying for their expenses with the money Alaina had, surprisingly, left to him. Ally clicked through the channels, groaning in boredom.
"Moeee. Can we go somewhere? The beach maybe?" It was 10 pm, and that was Ally's favourite time of the day for walking on the beach as the fireflies liked to come out. "Pleaaase?"

Adopting Family

Taylor chuckled at Ely's introduction, shaking her head. "Ely, come on, you don't want them to think you're a total jerk right away. They'll figure it out for themselves later." She spoke teasingly, laughing again. "Seriously though, she's just stubborn sometimes. All bark and no bite."

Ally scowled, playfully shoving Moe. "Oh, you're hilarious. A total riot. I'm not gonna fall in. Let's just walk you stupid old magical man." Despite his cross words, he took Moe's hand. Partly for comfort, partly so he didn't slip and fall in. "So, who's this L lady? She sounds awful."

Ally laughed out of nervosa, nearly having a laughing fit before calming down. "Well, that was fun. My face hurts and I'm almost positive I look like Two Face but with a bird wing instead of a burn scar. Wow, that really hurt." He clung to Moe, sighing. "Do you think I want to have to be saved every 5 minutes? Newsflash, I don't." He huffed, red wing mark on his face making him look ridiculous. "I hope one of these days I get to save you so it'll be even. Or, y'know, stop having brushes with death. That'd be cool too."
