He stumbled a couple of steps away as feeling returned to his arm. She wasn't going to give the knife back. "...o...okay." "...don't hurt yourself again." "......" Seculus pulled off his sweater, tied it around his waist, let out his wings and took off.

There was only one thought on her mind. Was it from her? The pact? Her vampire instincts? She didn’t know. She didn’t care. Nothing else mattered anymore. She hurt him. She hurt him for the last time.

If Tassek and Terezi came to break the news, then she knew where Anndrea was. If not, she'd find her. Even if the sun came up in the process. But, that wasn't needed. Ivory didn't bother knocking. She just opened the door and slipped inside. Door remaining open.

Anndrea remained on the couch. Refusing to move since she left. The door opened, and Anndrea looked to it, expression going from saddened to confident in a matter of seconds.

"What, did Seculus break up with you because I can carry the child he always wanted and you cannot?"

Ivory said nothing, just walked in front of Anndrea then stood there.

Right before she but her hands around Anndrea's throat. Her eyes widened in horror. "You would never hit a pregnant woman, would you?" She choked out.

"I'd kill my own mother when she was carrying me." Ivorly darkly spoke, teeth clenched before her hands tightened around Anndrea.

Anndrea coughed out in an attempt to breathe. She managed to reach up and pinch Ivory's neck long enough to let go. She stoop up and tried to rush out, but Ivory was already ahead of her.

Ivory grabbed Anndrea by the hair, drug her into the kitchen by it, and slammed her into the a cabinet. Anndrea, now dazed and confused, fell to her knees. The blood dripped from her nose, and onto her pants.

Ivory dug through the drawers, and found a rounded manual knife sharpener. She turned on the stove, and placed it on his before Anndrea could get up. Quickly, Ivory moved beside her again, but this time punched her in the stomach instead, knoucking the wind out of her.

"...honey?" A voice unfamilar to Ivory softly spoke as she entered the house. "You hadn't come home in a while so I thought I-" Sceylia stopped once she reached the kitchen, saw the scene before her, and immediately tackled Ivory to the ground.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY WIFE?!"

"YOUR WIFE RAPED MY BEST FRIEND AND BOYFRIEND IS CARRYING HIS CHILD! IT'S HER FAULT THIS HAPPENED!" Ivory bit down on Sceylia's arm until she let go.

Ivory got to her feet, but was stopped when a pair of arms grabbed her shoulders.

"This is enough Ivory! You need to stop now!" Lance screamed. Just arriving.

Sceylia managed to get back on her feet, and helped Lance as she struggled to hold Ivory back.

"YOU FUCKING HURT HIM! YOU TOOK HIS HAPPINESS AND SHATTERED IT! YOU RAPED HIM! I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU YOU CUNT! I WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU'RE DEAD BITCH!"

He didn't actually think about where he was going until he was in the air, a small trickle of blood sent streaming down his wrist from the wind and the nailmarks. Where was Anndrea? If Tassek and Terezi had come to tell them, she must have been at Terezi's apartment at some point, right...? Was she still there? He desperately hoped he was wrong, so he wouldn't have to face her, and so Ivory would charge into an empty apartment instead of putting a knife to actual flesh. But it was the first place to check, he thought, and he couldn't think clearly enough to come up with another destination. He knew where it was. He'd been there hundreds of times. He'd lived there for a while. It was his home for a while.....he hoped it wasn't drenched in blood now.

The door was left open and he heard screaming from inside. He was scared to go in. He did it anyways. His wings disappeared into the slits in his shirt and shoulderblades and the door creaked open under the gentle pressure of shaking fingers.

I didn't recognize the other woman. She must be Sceylia. She was bleeding from her arm. Anndrea was lying on the floor, beaten...and bleeding.....I was too late for that. I didn't feel anything about seeing her hurt. I carefully stepped up behind Lance as he held my princess and slowly wrapped my arms around her, not to hold her down, but just to hold her.

A third pair of arms found themselves around her. A pair pulled away. Ivory turned and saw Seculus.

And.

Immediately.

Broke.

She threw her arms around him, and clung to him him tightly. Ivory trembled in his grasp, sobbing deeply as she held him. She almost even fell a bit, but managed to keep herself up. Face in his chest. Eyeliner and mascara running down her face. Sceylia's arms went from Ivory to Anndrea.

🌀

I held her close and stroked her hair, closing my eyes. I don't want to have to look at the other two. .....it's okay. I'm here now. You don't have to hurt anyone......

He started crying himself. Everything had been too much. It was probably for the best that he'd left the knife with Terezi. The faint scent of blood drifted across the ground.

2016-03-07 06:56:57

●

Don't leave. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I can't fix things. I'm sorry I'm not good enough.

She held him tighter, and gently pushed him towards the door as best she could without having to let go. They needed to leave. Now.

2016-03-07 07:01:34

🌀

Of course you're good enough, you don't have to fix things, it's alright...! All you have to do is...just....stay......

He stumbled back out the door without ever having to take a good look at Anndrea. That was probably for the best.

2016-03-07 07:03:05

●

Once outside, one of hands moved from his body to his wrist.

You're...You're bleeding. Aren't you?

2016-03-07 07:06:33

🌀

....I'm sorry.........I just......Terezi stopped me.

2016-03-07 07:07:29

●

I'm sorry I wasn't there instead. Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?

2016-03-07 07:10:00

🌀

.........can we....pretend this never happened? And....go home, finish that meal, and maybe......maybe watch a movie.....?

2016-03-07 07:11:05

●

Yes. I would like that very much. I would say take me home....but you are home to me.

2016-03-07 07:13:37

🌀

...........oh....ah...ha..............well........I don't have a kitchen in me, sorry...........so I do sort of have to take you back to the actual building.....

2016-03-07 07:15:25

●

I know. Just...it feels right when I'm with you.

2016-03-07 07:17:42

🌀

...it feels right when I'm with you too, but...we should really go /home/ home. Especially before one of the other women comes after us....

2016-03-07 07:19:36

●

Please? I don't want to be here any longer than I have to.

2016-03-07 07:21:30

🌀

....okay.

He lifted her like the princess she was and took her back outside. Without waiting for Lance, he spread his wings and took off into the night sky again, wobbling a bit. The last time he'd tried this was with incubus wings, his own weren't as strong...

2016-03-07 07:22:41

●

She wrapped her arms around his neck, and clung to him. Every once in a while glancing at him to make sure he was okay.

2016-03-07 07:25:55

🌀

He reached up for a second to wipe the remaining tears out of his eyes, and every time he did so he dropped down a little, his stomach shooting upward.

2016-03-07 07:28:05

●

She reached up and wiped his tears for him, keeping her hand on his cheek as she did.

2016-03-07 07:32:26

🌀

He ducked his head a little against the wind and his nose touched hers.

2016-03-07 07:35:07

●

She smiled softly, a faint giggle leaving her lips.

2016-03-07 07:36:26

🌀

He smiled very slightly himself, and gently kissed her.

2016-03-07 07:38:51

●

It took her a second to realize what he was doing, especially when she made sure not to do anything that made him uncomfortable. However, when she did realize what he was doing, she immediately returned his kiss.

2016-03-07 07:40:59

🌀

...it seemed that she wasn't too upset to want this. He was still.....well, nervous about this, but....this seemed like a good time.
