Hey! I need some too! *ahchoo!*

[abbadon]

It was a beautiful summer evening......as Abbadon Strode along the canal..........The Slowly fading warmth of the Sun Still radiated against his face....and just ahead and around the next bend a sprawling country pub...with many splendid wooden tables across a lawn of imaculate green..........Strange that no one else seem to be drinking there...

Abb sat down to a tall cool pint of larger with just a dash of Lime....What the heck he thought...It's Summer and none of the Lads were about to Take the piss...........From behind the Large Willow that sat at the edge of the Beer garden and Hung low over the Tranquil flowing waters of the canal Abb could see a group of young girls Skipping rope and giggling...At first he did not notice the rhyme that they were skipping to...but as moments passed something about the children began to concern him.....He stood..looking more intently at the girls all decked in frilly summer finerey..and flowing golden locks but he could not make out their faces amid the twirling and skipping....Moving closer he began to hear the song they sung......

It’s like a lion at the door;
And when the door begins to crack,
It’s like a stick across your back;
And when your back begins to smart,
It’s like a penknife in your heart;
And when your heart begins to bleed
You’re dead, and dead, and dead, indeed. ..

As if by cue the Girls stopped singing..........no longer Danced or giggled and as one turned to Face Abbadon......or perhaps Face was the wrong term as where their smiling faces would have been was nothing more than Dead Flesh whose only Trace of life came from the Hundreds of Maggots that feed greedliy upon their grissly Visage........

"Glad you could Join us Professssssor"...The girls chided with snake like tones..."Welcome we've been expecting......Your one of us now....We can give you everything you've always craved.....all the knowledge...all the answers....everything..........yours..........all you have to do is desire it.....desire it and stay ....stay with us wont you...."


Sitting up with a startle Abb found himself gasping and disorinintated.......Looking around the darkened room he saw a figure beside him....it was her..

He was awake and in the home of the Demon Knight...It was the dreams again....just the dreams.. he repeated to himself....This however was a new one...One whislt nevertheless as disturbing as all before had felt somehow more... as almost a memory and for all his determination and conviction one in which he felt a great deal of shame , regret.. and loss....

As his eyes grew accustomed to the dimmed light he studied the form of the woman beside him...Despite all she had seen..and all she was about to face..the figure of scrape lay curled in a most innocent , content and peaceful bundle across the ruffled bedding of the four poster bed....
Abb rolled over on his side..resting his face against his forearm and starred at the sleeping face of this woman who had seen the most intimate of himself...not just in a physical sense for Abb had given a part of his himself...in their encounter that night......

Whilst pondering the fact that a side of him he had not allowed..not dared to have let exist ...given the task he had been pursing most his adult life had now been layed out before him ..Abb wondered it it had been a mistake...would this make it worse for him...for her...for all

Abb was never sure what had exactly had gone wrong in prevous timelines for only grinner had the luxury of hindsight there...but he had always felt that his fate in this matter was not a happy one....and he had always prepared for the worse...grinner.. he knew had alluded to his demise several times and Abb knew that the Demon Knight Had Plans for him that did not bode well...Abb had always felt that he could make any sacrifice nesessary....that it wouldnt hurt anyone else....but ..

It had been bad enough that he had taken so long to open up to her.....But, to hurt her now would be even worse and he couldn't bare or allow himself to do that to her........He reached over and placed his hand on hers...he studied her hands in his and saw their fingers intertwined..... He closed his eyes and braced himself as the images of her caressing and kissing him flooded him.... He felt the way she'd feel in his arms. the way she touched him and how her lips felt against his... The images were vivid and powerful and sent him reeling with passion and desire...... He touched her face and brushed away a wisp of her hair that had fallen onto her cheek. .she murmured softly ....he traced the line of her neck with his other hand ..down passed her shoulders and encircled the spot where the small of her back met the line of her bottom...The corners of her mouth parted in a wry smile and she looked up sleepily into His face.....Abb smiled back and pulled her closer to him...Her eyes widened in surprise... he wrapped his arms around her shoulders.. and her arms circled his waist... He hugged her to his body and clutched her against him tightly....she listened to the sound of his heart racing as she leaned her head against his chest.... She heard him breathing hard and gently caressed his back.....He smelt the sweet scents of her hair..... His fingers stroked against the strands of her hair.as it brushed up against his face and lips. . ....
....
.He brought her next to him and whispered into her hair......."It's going to be alright.....this time.."....and as he said the words. he knew..... he thought to himself.....
thats it ...that why scrapes here....why it always failed before...

Shes here to make sure I have some worth coming back for......

[scrape_medic]

[BrowderChick]

Excellent

[scrape_medic]

Still sneezing BC?

[who45]

Wow abb that was really good.

[BrowderChick]

Yeah I know...

I watch as BC runs out of the room, trying to fight through the torrent of emotions to think coherently. I manage to scream out to Frun to go after her; don't leave her alone. He nods once quickly, then takes off after her. I stand there shaking, the room spinning and feel myself start to sway. He's there by my side, taking my arm and leading me over to a chair.

"Have you taken the elixir yet?" he asks quietly.

"No." I respond hesitantly. "With everything that's happened, I didn't have time to take it. I don't think it would have been a good idea to take it with what I've just gone through with BC. From what I've seen with the rest of the group, it would have only enhanced the sensations. I'm just so tired. I don't think I was cut out to handle the emotions of someone else and myself at the same time."

I hear this soft chuckle, and turn to see him looking directly at me and I realize the sound is coming from him.

"You don't get it, do you? That is EXACTLY why you were chosen. It's the reason you were trained in the nursing profession. You are uniquely qualified for what you do. While a nurse, you handled the emotions of strangers -- family, friends -- of your patients. You had to deal with what they were experiencing while dealing with your own feelings. In doing so, you learned how to segregate your emotions from theirs. You must take the elixir if you want to be able to accomplish the same thing with BC."

His explanation totally derails my attempts to cast off my need of being here. I nod at him, accepting his offer. I don't completely understand it, but I feel the sweet juice slide past my lips and down my throat. It's difficult not to panic as it feels as though I'm being torn apart. I hear him telling me to breathe. His voice is soft, deep, throaty. I try to focus on that voice. I can sense BC. I realize my panic is not totally my own, and I notice I'm able to see a line in my mind of where her feelings mesh with mine. I begin to instinctively work out the lines. As I work out some the seperation anxiety, it becomes easier to breathe, to relax. I open my eyes to find myself in his arms. At some point, I slid out of the chair and he caught me and held me while I worked through the web of emotions. I feel a clarity I haven't felt before, but know that I can pick out, at any time, the emotions of either myself or BC. Somehow I get the feeling that will eventually be a critical point to my being here.

"Do you understand now?" he asks gingerly.

"Yes, I see the distinction quite clearly now. Thank you for your support and assistance."

He smiles at me, and it suddenly strikes me that he hasn't taken the elixir yet. As I begin to pose the question to him, BC and Frun walk back into the room, Frun laughing and BC looking -- and feeling -- quite embarrassed. I look questioningly at her and I get a "Don't even ask" sensation. I turn towards him again to finish my unspoken question and realize he's slipped out of the room.

Where did he go? And just WHAT is taking scrape and abb so long?

[BrowderChick]
