The air was thick with smoke as well as the rancid smell of burning flesh. The ground covered in blood, those unable or unwilling fled for their lives, soldiers fought valiantly for the cause of their leaders. One warrior stood alone sword in hand walking the red covered ground as the screams of the dying, the helpless, her people filled her ears, pleas of help that either never came or was too late. Still the warrior pushed forward as war raged around her, mind set on one thought, vengeance. Her target hidden high up in a tower away from the blood shed like the coward he was. She came upon the massive doors, pent up anger and hate coursed through her veins...She knew what lay behind these oversized wooden doors, what had to be done. Yet even with knowing the urge of revenge burned greatly with her desire to end this. Gripping the handle of her blade she raised both arms and pushed with unimaginable strength not seen in ages. The gate doors groaned and creaked from the force and begun to splinter inside. The large beams set to lock the doors began to bend, the warrior pushed and pushed feeling the gate giving in to the sheer force of her strength with one final push she roared a loud battle cry as the doors swung open….
Angelique woke with a gasp from her sleep covered in a thin layer of sweat. She turned to look at the sleeping figure next to her. The petite form of her love lay still and the slowed breathing of the woman indicated that she was still asleep. With a ragged breath she climbed from the large bed carefully so as to not to wake her companion, quietly she made her way out of the bedroom and down the hall stopping at one of the many doors she recognized. Silently creeping the door open Angelique saw the sprawled out form of her first born child partly covered. She knew it useless to cover the girl, having done this many a night only to find the child to kick the blankets off moments later.
Closing the door she made her way back to her room. She entered quickly gently closing the door with an almost in audible click."El" the whispered sound of her nickname almost caused her to jump. Turning to face the bed Angelique now looked upon her mate who sat watching her quietly.
" I thought you were asleep my love" she whispered staying in her spot.
"I was...but I missed your presence so I woke." Angelique smiled softly at the woman she was lucky to call her wife. A small whimper caught their attention, Both looking to the bassinet near the bed, El made her way to it checking the infant within it. The soft smile never left her lips as she watched her second born. Both her children were beautiful just like their mommy, her first had the same platinum blonde hair like her mommy but with a black streak matching her own hair, as well as having the same eyes with one small difference. The infant that lay wriggling to get comfortable already had a full set of midnight black hair like her, with a small plume of platinum blonde. It would be when she opened her eyes that El would see the baby's eye color.
A pair of slim arms snaked around her waist and Angelique sighed at the comfort her wife's touch brought. Why the hell she did she get out of bed?"You had the dream again" oh yea that's why...Turning in her wife's embrace to face her El simply nodded her response wrapping her arms around the other woman." It...it scares me knowing...knowing what is to befall our children or those of our blood...maybe if I-"
The blonde woman silenced Angelique with a chaste kiss,"We can't change the past all we can do is live in the now and write our own future as we do."
"I just.."
"You did what needed to be done...you can't let it eat you up inside like this...I almost lost you once please...I can't go through that again."
"Nor I love...I'm sorry.." Angelique kissed her wife soundly," I just feel the need to protect those I love...my family, you and our children."
She chuckled,"If they are anything like you...then I'm afraid love, that we have sired countless generations of reckless rebels that will take this world by storm. They will learn to face what comes...they have us to teach them.."
"And when we are no longer around?" The blue eyed woman in her arms smiled gently at her,"They are of Kings and Queens...the blood of warriors. Our children, grandchildren, and all those to come will rise to the challenge. Things have already been set into motion...do you remember what you told me that day in the gardens"
"Umm can we do it again?" El laughed when her wife smacked her shoulder playfully,"You idiot...no the day you confessed your feelings for me...tomorrow holds no promises except the ones we've made-"
"We'll go far with hearts like ours...till then we've got today..I remember.."
"Then let us live today and face tomorrow when it comes...if you spend your time worrying of the past or future you'll miss the present." Angelique smiled brightly she had spoken those words to her wife once,"Such a wise Queen...I see someone was taking notes haha"
"Shut up you are very insightful at times but mostly you're an insufferable ass."
"Obviously not that insufferable you married me after all." Both chuckled before the shorter of the two spoke quietly,"Let's go back to bed love.." She lead her wife back to the bed before squealing in surprise as she was suddenly lifted and gently tossed on top of the sheets."Sorry.." Angelique whispered smiling mischievously at her wife."What are you doing?" The blonde questioned as the other woman crawled on top of her.
"Nothing...just showing my wife how much I appreciate her"
"We can't not now...the baby will wake." She said stopping the black haired woman if only slightly with her intent. Angelique smirked as she leaned in kissing pale skin. Working her way up from the base of the neck to the ear and whispered huskily," I guess we'll just have to be quiet about it then." Ending her statement as she sucked the earlobe. The woman beneath her shivered with anticipation," I hate it...when you do that." She all but growled, before turning to kiss her wife hungrily.
True to her word, Angelique showed her wife just how much she appreciated and loved her. Knowing that things could have turned out much Differently but they didn't and she was grateful for it...
