đđđđđđđ  đđđđđđđ  đđ  đđ  an  enchanted  forest  had  done  more  harm  than  good  for  Tzeitel  and  her  brother.  They  both  lacked  skills  when  it  came  to  human  interaction.  whereas  lachlan  was  brash  and  prickly  ,  tzeitel  was  awkward  and  flustered.  she  was  clumsy  and  often  felt  like  an  ugly  duckling  of  sorts.  always  making  a  fool  of  herself  and  always  saying  the  wrong  thing.  she  had  never  felt  that  way  with  Draco.  in  the  short  time  she  had  known  him  he  had  made  the  princess  feel  anything  fumbling.  he  made  her  feel  beautiful.  like  there  was  something  worth  looking  at  (  she  would  humbly  disagree  of  course  but  kept  those  words  to  herself  ).  emotions  was  something  she  wasnât  good  at.  the  princess  often  had  a  hard  time  expressing  herself.  everyone  knew  that  lachlan  was  even  worse.  it  must  have  been  a  curse  of  sorts  for  the  Arnadalr  clan  to  be  terrible  with  communication.  so  knowing  something  was  upsetting  draco  and  there  wasnât  much  she  could  do  to  help  made  her  feel  powerless.  she  wasnât  to  do  something,  make  him  smile  the  way  he  made  her  did  every  day  because  when  he  did  show  those  pearly  whites  they  could  make  a  room  glow.  his  commanding  presence  was  something  she  admired.   â  I  know.  â   she  smiled,  a  blush  painting  her  cheeks  as  she  was  pulled  closer  to  him.  her  grip  on  the  pumpkins  were  tight  which  left  her  being  pulled  into  draco.  she  didnât  mind  and  even  worked  up  the  courage  to  quickly  peck  his  lips  even  though  her  cheeks  were  practically  on  fire.  she  pulled  away  to  see  water  pooling  around  her  hands  and  realized  her  nerves  had  caused  her  powers  to  appear.  talk  about  clammy  hands.   â  youâre  always  doing  the  heavy  lifting  i  thought  iâd  share  the  load  for  once.  iâm  stronger  than  i  appear,  draco.  â
DRACO COULDNâT UNDERSTAND HOW someone so small managed to hold two huge boulders in her arms. Not that he didnât think she was strong enough or capable but she seemed so fragile. He knew in the short amount of time they knew each other that heâd move mountains for her before she even had to lift a finger. The kiss was small and unexpected but it still set his heart ablaze. His lips seemed to burn as she pulled away. He smiled down at her, a true genuine look of adoration. He was greedy however--so he cradled her cheek with his palm pulling her closer. Leaning over to meet her height he kissed her softly--more soft than he wanted too but he didnât want to overstep his boundaries. Pulling from the princesses lips he met her eyes. âI know you are.â Draco stated firmly. âAnd thank you.â He couldnât remember the last time someone had done something for him--no matter how small it seemed. She cared and that meant the world to him. Taking the pumpkins from her he set them down on the table and then quickly took her hands in his. âI want to be honest with you Tzeitel, which is incredibly difficult for me. Iâve never had to do this before.â He trailed off with an un-easy smile. âBefore you I really didnât have anyone besides my sister. Which at the time I was fine with that. Then the moment you walked into the tattoo parlor I felt my whole life shift. Youâve made my days brighter but also harder. Iâve never had to deal or process these kinds of emotions before. I can read and experience other peoples energies or auras. Feeling everyone's elseâs emotions left very little room for me to want to feel the same..then you appeared and I began to think differently. I knew from the moment I saw you that It was you...â He paused feeling a bit overwhelmed but at the same time it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from his chest. âI wanted to tell you about my powers a lot sooner but I didnât want to scare you off or to think that I was strange. Thatâs kind of stupid of me anyway, considering my family name and all. Itâs just I wanted to thank you and that Iâve appreciated your company over these past few months. And that I might even love you.â

 đđđđđđđ  đđđ  đ  đđđđ  đđđđđ  đđđđ  athena  was  all  elizabeth.  temper,  stubbornness  and  all.  there  was  nothing  soft  about  athena  mcqueen.  she  was  a  force,  knocking  people  out  of  her  way  if  need  be.  while  she  loved  fiercely  she  also  hated  just  as  fierce  if  scorned.  she  didnât  hate  axel.  she  loved  him  too  much  to  ever  let  the  idea  cross  her  mind  but  she  was  upset.  hurt  even  if  she  was  being  honest.   â  iâm  not  the  sibling  he  needs  to  worry  about.  â   she  told  him  simply.   â  no  ..  itâs  fine.  â   it  was  pointless  to  go  change.  not  when  he  put  so  much  thought  into  his  costume  even  while  they  were  apart.  it  was  little  gestures  like  that  why  athena  loved  axel  in  the  first  place.  when  he  wasnât  being  an  ass  he  could  be  thoughtful  and  kind.  that  was  the  axel  she  knew.  not  the  man  at  the  lantern  gala.  the  blonde  bit  the  inside  of  her  cheek,  arms  crossed  defensively  over  her  chest  as  her  eyes  bore  daggers  into  axel.   â  you  have  five  minutes  to  explain.  use  it  wisely.  â   it  seemed  generous  enough  given  he  didnât  explain  last  time  he  spoke  when  she  had  begged  him  to. Â
AXEL WAS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING to make Athena happy at this point. If not happy then not exceedingly angry. If she wanted him to change heâd do it, all she had to do was ask. Biting the inside of cheek he kept his eyes on her. When she said no it made him feel a little better. Maybe there was some hope. âOkay five minutes, donât fuck this up axelâ was the short pep talk he gave himself. âLook, I know I fucked up. I was a really shit boyfriend. I was going through something...â He trailed off, pursing his lips. Heâd have to tell her now if she was going to understand. âI blamed a lot of my upbringing on my father. Well, as it turns out my mom wasnât the saint I thought she was. She didnât want me then, doesnât want me now. I didnât know how to process that shit honestly. So I did what old Axel used to do. Drank until I couldnât think anymore. I didnât want to tell you. I was scared of dragging you in my mess and hurting you. Turns out isolating myself hurt you more. Stupid choice on my part. I wanted to tell you, I did....I was being selfish. I love you Athena...and Iâm sorry for what happened at the gala. I should've never spoken to you like that. You donât have to accept my apology, I donât expect you too. I just wanted to tell you Iâm sorry, and if you donât want to see me again Iâll understand.â

Oberon didnât realize that heâd sounded any different and the concern in her voice jarred him. She cared about him. He knew that but sometimes the realization smacked him upside the head. Just like it was now. âHey, Nova. Iâm fine. I always get⊠off when the weather starts to change but Iâll be okay. Iâm not going anywhere.â He paused, cradling the phone against his shoulder as he wrote down some things he planned to get them to eat. âAnd⊠I promise if I need help or I start feeling worse Iâll tell you. Youâre-â He trailed off for a moment before finishing his sentence. âThe only one I trust with that sort of thing.â
 He wasnât prepared to spill his guts to the girl like this, especially over the phone, but he felt a small weight off his shoulders. âBut um⊠take your time. Pizza wonât be here for a little while. And what movie do you want to watch. I got Shudder so we have a lot of options.â Â
đž
Nova left her jewelry on the bathroom counter and went back to her bedroom in search for something comfier to wear. She knew Oberon wouldnât mind that she was dressed down. His words reassured her, but still she couldnât help but to frown. Perhaps when she got there she could cheer him up. âI understand! The fall weather isnât everyone's cup of a tea, and thatâs okay yâknow?â He couldnât see her but her lips curled into a small smile. She held her breath unconsciously when he paused, feeling her heart race a bit faster. After his response she finally took a small breath in. âIâm glad. Iâm always here to talk or whatever you need.â Licking her lips she pulled some clothes from her dresser drawer. âAre you sure? It wonât take me long to get ready and I can probably be there in under twenty minutes.â Thinking over her options she mused. âHmm, maybe something scary? It is spooky season after all.â She added with a soft giggle.

    SAGE ALWAYS KNEW WHEN DRACO WAS CLOSE, call it twin telepathy or intuition or maybe even the fact that his energy enhanced her own abilitiesâ but sensing him now at the festival wasnât exactly ideal when she was infact actively avoiding him. How else would she deal with the fact that her twin Brother, the person with whom she loved most in this world had taken up with the woman she had been pining for since she was a teen. It was too hard to look him in the eyes as he found happiness meanwhile the only fleeting feeling of joy Sage had was her tangled moments with Vesper. Without missing a beat Sage turned on her heels to face Draco, murder in her eyes for embarrassing her so publicly like that. âSsshhhh! You giant idiot!â she hissed between her teeth, stepping to the side and dragging him with her. âI have been busy and right now I am networking for a new client. Youâre ruining everything â just go find your little princess and run away together. Its what youâre both good at.â
HIS TWINS AURA LOOKED JUST the same as it did when he last saw her. Black and red swirling vortexes. Just as Tzeitel had a powerful aura so did his sister, her own emotions began having an affect on him. He didnât understand, they were supposed to share everything. So why was this one instance different than the rest? Hesitantly he dragged his heels behind her waiting for some sort of explanation. He folded his arms across his chest as he stared down at her. Her explanation only ticked him off further. Now she was doing business without him? âThen why didnât you have me come with you? I donât like you doing this shit alone. The last thing I want is to see your hurt over your negligence to talk to me.â He paused, his pupils dilating at her words. âPrincess?â He hissed, feeling the heat rise to his cheeks. âIs this is what you're pissed about? Tzeitel?â

     SADIE INCHED OVER TO THE SIDE MAKING room for Orion, she was feeling more and more exhausted lately which was why she needed to come see Orion in the first place. But he was always so charming and smooth and distracting, and got under her skin in ways she didnât believe was possible anymore since she was a grown woman. And yet here she was sneaking around with her not so little secret in true Sadie fashionâ some things never change. âTrue but Blair wanted to get some pictures together and she always leaves these things early⊠you know when.. the twins show up. I think she feels uncomfortable.â Sadie explained, much like Blair she also felt uncomfortable around the twins as she never got over or dealt with the guilt for leaving them. Sadie didnât think she deserved their forgiveness either it was something she just had to live with.Â
Running her hands through her hair Sadie up and exhaled slowly, this is what she had wanted to tell Orion for a few days now⊠but everything was so perfect she couldnât risk ruining the fantasy. âPlease donât freak outâ Itâs .. really not a big dealâ she placed a hand softly on Orionâs and took a deep breath. âOrionâ Iâm pregnant with your childâ again.â
ORION BARTHOLOMEW AT TIMES COULD BE OBLIVIOUS, especially when it came to women. He spent most of his life alone so who could really blame him? However the person he could read best in the whole world was Sadie. Her emotions came easy and most of the time he knew what she was thinking before she said it. âThen weâll get ready. I donât want to miss out on some pictures, especially if Blair is taking them.â He sighed at the mention of the twins. It was hard to get Sage and Draco to get along with the other Teague children. He knew they had their own reasons to be spiteful, but Sadie was their mother and you only get a mother once. âI can talk to them if youâd like? Maybe see if I can get them to hash things out?â He wasnât sure if it would work but heâd do anything for the woman in front of him.
He braced himself for whatever was next. Honestly he was ready for her to come out and say the jig was up. That she wanted to break things off again. It wouldnât come as a surprise but he wasnât ready for that heartbreak again. He watched her intently, squeezing her hand in reassurance to know that things were going to be okay. At the news of another baby his jaw dropped. He could feel his mouth trying to form words but nothing came out. Orion had always wanted a big family, that much everyone knew. It was his dream to grow old with Sadie and watch their kids grow up alongside them. It wasnât an unique dream but he cherished the thought of it more than anything. Immediately his eyes began to sting as tears flooded his eyes. âSadie--I--thatâs wonderful news.â Quickly he sat up and cradled his palm around the back of her head to bring her closer. Holding her tightly in his arms he kissed the top of her head. After a moment he pulled away to look into her eyes. âI want whatever you want. Just know Iâll do whatever it takes to make you happy. I love you Sadie, and that wonât ever change.â

*
Three months prior, Ellie Long had stopped here in town to buy some new strings. The tour she was on was winding its way down the California coast but this small town was not even on the list. The brash crash of emotion as she stepped into that music shop had been overwhelming. She nearly cried as she stood there in this random store - and she ran outside as quickly as she came in. The voices, for once, were quiet, except a small, polite, Please. She didnât know how she knew what it meant but slowly the woman collected herself, turned around, and went back inside.
This man, this stranger, as he came up on her, as he grabbed hold of her hands, and peered down into his eyes - he brought with it a swell of happiness, sadness, grief, desperation, rising up in her chest so that she wondered how she was possibly still breathing. She would have backed away, ripped her hands out from his, but she was afraid she would be sick if she moved even an inch. âI⊠Iâm sorryâŠâ
Orion⊠There it was again! That voice, how it seemed to resonate inside her skull. She heard voices all day, their dulcet tones mingling in with her own thoughts, but this seemed to live there in the base of her skull, its timbre ringing through her bones in a voice that sounded so like her own. Look how grown he isâŠ
She couldnât think, coopted by a voice not her own, held hostage by the crashing waves of emotion inside her chest and the desperate need of a man who clearly thought she was someone else⊠Ellie didnât know what to do, and so she did something brand new, she acknowledged. Never once had she admitted, spoke back to, did anything other than run, from these voices, but now she looked at the man and asked in her soft voice, âIs your name Orion?â
For a moment Orion wondered if he had went mad. Her expression read something completely different from the Emily he once knew. How? They had the same face and all. Was this another trick of his imagination? Orion had no idea but he felt like a fool regardless. His emotions had took ahold of him and there was no turning back now. Especially now as he knelt in front of this woman with her hands in his. The boogie man was known for his dramatics after all.
He felt defeated at her words. His heart broke even. Stranger things had happened and apart of him just assumed that maybe just maybe she was back. It wasnât an impossible thought was it? Slowly he slid his hands from hers until they fell back softly into her lap. Clearing his throat Orion tried to make the best out of this situation. Wiping his eyes with his pocket handkerchief he shook his head. âNo please, donât apologize. Iâm the one who mistook you for someone else. Itâs just well, you look like someone I loved.â He paused, biting his lower lip as another tear slid from his eyes. Fuck. He hated feeling like this.
Just as he was about to stand up and walk away she said something that caught him by surprise. His eyes lit up momentarily in hopes it had been her. He nodded curtly, giving the woman his full attention. âYes, Orion Bartholomew. Do you remember?â

    SADIE WAS GETTING USED TO BEING BACK WITH ORION, it was hard to keep it from her children and an adjustment for both of them. Theyâd both had kids and spent so long apart that Sadie wasnât sure if there was anything left for them to go back to, however she was happy to be proven wrong. That things were just as magic and passionate as they had been before sheâd gotten sick. Sadie was enjoying living in their little bubble, keeping it separate from the respective family homes she didnât want to think about Sage & Draco finding out, it would be too painful for everyone, so she was living in denial with Orion and it was glorious. She smiled as she sat up, pulling him back in for another kiss, it made her entire body come alive like she was in her twenties again. âOh crap thatâs today? â Boo, I thought weâd have a little more time together before it started.â she mused. She paused before thinking out loud. âFuck I hope that costume still fits..â
ORION WASNâT SURE HOW THE kids were going to react to the news of their romantic rekindling. He felt the kids would fair pretty well to the news. The twins on the other hand? Well, he was hoping heâd be dead before theyâd have to know. They wouldn't be able to change Orionâs mind though. Sadie had been the love of his life for many years, and that kind of thing doesnât change overnight. Everything could wait, because Orion had his girl back and he wasnât going to waste it. Orion eased into her touch so effortlessly, smiling against her lips. âWell, I donât mind being late. Iâm sure we wonât miss anything crazy.â He reassured her as he scooted into bed with her. He wasnât going to pressure her especially after how he lost her. âFit sweetheart? Why wouldnât it fit? We just got it last week. Iâm sure it will fit like a glove.â He hummed into her neck.

EVEN WITH TZITEL AROUND DRACO felt lost without his twin. It wasnât a balancing act. It shouldnât have been this hard. Yet Sage was making it extra hard to get ahold of her lately. Unanswered calls, texts, voicemails even. Did he have to write a fucking letter just to get a reply? After carving pumpkins with the princess he wandered around the festival looking for his twin. Which to be honest was making him sick. Too many emotions and it was becoming unbearable. He had to stop for a moment to close his eyes in a crowd of people and just breathe. Once he could breathe again he opened his eyes and saw Sage near the carnival games. Dracoâs temper began to boil as he walked up to his sister like a child having a temper tantrum. âSo you can play these stupid games but canât be fucked to see me?â His voice was loud for someone who spoke so little. He missed Sage and it hurt him to know she was fine without him. @anightmcreâ

Draco was irritated more so than the typical fleeting emotion. His twin seemed to be ignoring his existence. Which may have not seemed like a big deal to others, but for them? Simply hell would have to freeze over before that happened. Yet Draco was proven wrong instance after instance. Everything had him feeling confused and just overwhelmed just thinking about it. Caring for everyone's emotions now were leaving him drained and frustrated. He used to be so calloused and calculated with people, left no room for feelings. It was easier that way, and yet somehow he found himself in this situation.
His cousins voice caught him by surprise. âLeo?â He repeated as he turned around and noticed Leo lounging by Mama Odieâs. Walking towards the man Draco found himself grinning as he got closer. Leo was one of the few that got to see Draco behind the mask âShit, are you here for breakfast? âCause if you are, mind if I join you? Iâll pay for your tab.â Suddenly he remembered the sleeping baby who was in the stroller below him. A small smile took ahold of his lips. He hadnât had the chance to meet her yet. âIs this Eloise?â
Leo hadnât spent much time outside of his family unit recently. It was hard work but he had never been happier. Elise had wanted to rest after their little trip to the festival and Elias had gone to play with Carolina and Uncle Dante so it was just him and his Eloise picking up dinner. Elise had wanted something from Mama Odieâs so now he was sitting outside enjoying the fall weather as Eloise napped in her stroller.Â
He caught sight of his favorite cousin across the street. âDraco!â Leo called out and waved him over with a smile. Heâd heard things werenât going great for him and now was the perfect time to catch up. Not to mention, he hadnât met Eloise yet either. ;

UPDATE:
Dracoâs relationship with his once inseparable twin sister has become stagnant. He knows sheâs frustrated but he isnât sure what about. He wishes she would just talk to him. The separation is getting to him more than heâs willing to admit. Usually you do not see one without the other but lately it seems sheâs nowhere to be found. He misses herâŠ
At least he has Tzeitel to distract him, he hasnât quite told her whatâs wrong but thatâs only because he has trouble with expressing his emotions clearly.
His father on the other hand, Draco saw his aura the other day. It was differentâŠit no longer looked like a mix of black and blue storm clouds. It was bright red and pulsating like a heartbeat. His father is in loveâŠhow peculiarâŠ
CONNECTIONS:
tzeitel arnadalr - much more than an infatuation sage bartholomew - twin & best friend axel, nova, marcus, blair - siblings leo lemos - closest friend and confidant teague clan - cousins (lmk if you want a connection!)

DRACO HAD NEVER BEEN ONE to express his emotions. He wasnât sure why but he had always been like that. He had no problem following Sageâs lead and being the observer. Emotions made people weak, his birth parents were a prime example of that. Love wreaked disaster and yet...here he was with Tzeitel. He convinced himself in the beginning that it was nothing more than another infatuation but he couldnât quite deny that anymore. Being near her aura was so overwhelming sometimes that it made him nauseated. Not that he didnât like it but it was so powerful. It also couldâve been partly his fault, bottling up everything inside surely didnât help either. However he was getting better at that. Even if it was small things like being patient, the princess was helping with that. âIâd like that. I couldâve carried those for you you know.â He teased with a smirk as he pulled the pumpkin closer to him.Â

Nova had just gotten home from the fall festival. She had a rather fun time with her girlfriends but now it was time to settle down for the night. Taking her jewelry off in front of the bathroom mirror. Her phone vibrated against the bathrooms counter which caused a loud rattling sound. At first she thought it mightâve been Irene. Probably left something at her apartment. However looking down and seeing the caller id Nova was pleasantly surprised. Her lips forming a small smile. Picking up the phone she let him speak first before interrupting him. âHey I missed you at the fall festival today.â Nova stated softly, she had a good time but she wouldâve loved it if Oberon had been there too. âIâd love that. Sounds like a perfect night to me!â Horror movies and food was two of the young witches favorite things. Noticing his tone she began to worry slightly. He sounded different but Nova also had a tendency to over react. After a moment of silence she spoke. âAre you okay?â
@thrillsxchills
Oberon had walked back to his place with the drawing the girl on the subway had given him tucked carefully against his chest. He was hardly a sentimental kind of person but something about the way she had talked to him had done something to ease his unusal levels of discomfort he was feeling in that moment. He walked to his apartment and unlocked the door, pausing to kick his shoes off and set the drawing and his keys on the table by the door. His plans for that evening were going to change, even if it was only slightly. He picked up his phone and dialed Nova, bringing the phone to his ear. âHeyâŠ.â he said softly when she answered. âI wanted to know if you wanted to come over. We could order food and watch a halloween movie or something,â He spoke softly. She made him want to be softer.

đđđ đđđđđ đđđđ đđđđđđđ bandstand at all costs she would have. Her brother just had to let Axel join his dumb band. Caspian was really two for two with adding boyfriends who caused problems into his band. It wasnât in her to ignore and deflect when situations became hard. Athena usually faced her problems head on. However, this was Axel which left her torn with how to deal with the situation. She understood that he had hardships. More so than her. The only inconvenience in her life was that she happened after her parents were divorced but her life was easy compared to Axelâs. Just because shit was hard doesnât mean that the way that Axel acted at the lantern gala sat well with Athena. it didnât and she was still upset as well as hurt from the events that occured. No matter how hard she tried to stay away hearing Axelâs voice had her coming the siren songs she sang. As mad as she was at him she did miss Axel. all was fine until they locked eyes. Athena gave a small back out of courtesy but when Axel called out to her she stiffened. If she walked away sheâd look like an asshole. He put her in a position she didnât like and after they talked she was surely going to kick his ass if her father didnât beat her to it. she wouldnât be surprised if the microphone picked up what he said. â Get off the stage and weâll talk. â was all she yelled back as she started walking towards the side stage stairs. â Tim drake really ? did you ask caspian what iâm going as ? â
HER MESSAGE WAS LOUD AND CLEAR and he wasnât going to upset her further than he already had. âHere fill in for me.â He said to the bassist as he tossed the microphone towards him. It wasnât before long until music filled the air again and the crowds attention moved from them to the bandstand once more. Walking offstage he felt nervous and a rather large lump began to form in his throat. Now that he had her attention he almost felt dumbfounded. He had a whole speech planned and what he would say to her if he had the chance. Now face to face he felt like the whole world was weighing down on him. âHe mightâve told me...donât be mad with him though, okay? I can totally change if you want me too. I have spare clothes in the car.â He gulped his feelings down hard as he rubbed the back of his neck to relive some tension. âLook you have every right to be mad at me. I know that. Just give me the chance to explain? Then afterwards itâs up to you. If you walk away and want nothing to do with me, I'll understand.â

âOpe--sorry! You can kick me out if you want! I wonât take it personally, I promise.â Nova smiled sheepishly as stood in the doorway of the apothecary. She knew Theo wouldnât mind but she couldnât help but to apologize. âI just wanted to know if youâre still coming to the fall festival later!â
She was busy tying ribbons on the little packets her father had made. She could have them magically done but she thought that made her lazy. The charms were cute and enchanted to bring good luck. Her dad could be cute, she supposed. She heard the bell ring and realized she forgot to lock the door. âHey! Technically, weâre closed for the equinox.â

Orion was rather enjoying himself, how could he not? The scales were finally tipping in his favor for once. At least for now. He didnât want to be cocky this time considering how things faired for him twenty odd years ago. This time would be different. It had to be. Sadie was catching up with her brothers and Orion didnât want to intrude in her conversation. He didn't want to overwhelm her so he politely excused himself. Almost instantaneously he found himself drawn to the bandstand playing nearby. The music was rather lovely even though it wasnât his typical taste. Or maybe he enjoyed it because he was finally happy again.
It was then he saw her. She looked so much like....no, could it be? It had been so many years since he last saw her. Last Orion remembered was them sharing their final goodbyes and watched as she went back home to world beneath. âEmily?â He found his lips whispering her name before he even had time to think. She so much looked like her, same curls and features. The way her smile lit up a room. He gazed at her until he found his feet moving for him. He desperately wanted it to be her. She was always there when he needed it. She practically helped raised his kids with him when he was at his lowest point in life. What he would do just to see her again and tell her how thankful he was for her and the impact she made on his life. Tears began to well up in his eyes as he made his way through the sea of people to get to her. As he continued to get closer his chest tightened with excitement as he got a better look of her face. It was her! It was really her! Kneeling in front of her chair he took her hands in his. âEms, is that really you?â I never thought Iâd see you again...â He asked a bit shakily with a tear stained face.
Ellie had spent a summer in Kentucky in her earlier years, playing with an orchestra in Louisville. To bide her time, she had picked up the banjo, hours spent plucking ceaselessly in a city where she knew no one to distract her. The voices always had something to say, some request or opinion, and she never grew used to them. Not that she tried. The banjo, the violin, the drums - all attempts at running from the dead though she stayed there in one spot.
Her time with the banjo finally had some use, seeing quickly how she could use the festival for the betterment of the shop. She had offered to sponsor the bandstand and fill some time on the schedule of performers. A few folk songs and then a turn into covers of Metallica played on the banjo with a previously recorded drum track playing behind her. Fun and on brand.
She wiped some sweat from her cheek as she bounded the steps after her set, locating the table where the performers had their things laid out for use to put the banjo away until some other hillbilly festival called for it. @thrillsxchillsâ

SHE HAD BEEN BACK, for quite some time now. He was hoping it would be different this time around. However he couldnât blame her feeling overwhelmed. Their life was complicated and far from normal but he didnât want normal. He wanted her and every complication that came with it. He was willing to start again as long as it was what she wanted too. He had his heart broken once before and if she decided to leave again he wasnât sure if he would be able to handle it. But that choice had always been hers and it would continue to stay that way. For now Orion was just content to have her in arms reach again. His soul felt rested being able to see her face everyday. For he wasnât complete without his other half. Sadie was still sleeping and he didnât really want to disturb her. She looked so peaceful and he had to admit he missed seeing her in such a serene state. Was she happy? Thatâs all he wanted for her, to be happy. Planting a knee into the bedspread he leaned over her body and placed a soft kiss upon her lips as if she were a sleeping princess. âI donât want to rush you my love but we should be getting ready for the festival soon.â @anightmcreâââ
