Duncan McLeod smiled as his lover leaned into him as she came closer to his side she smiled as they gazed into each other's eyes closer she drew to him like a month to a flame. He used his arms to bring her closer to him both feeling the heat of passion as their lips met. Duncan could taste the salt of her lips as her hands moved lower to his….. The lift could be heard as the two broke apart Duncan muttering about having no privacy. They felt the presence of anther immortal and each had their swords in hand when the lift opened. Reveling Joe and Methos but what shocked them the most was the ten year old in-between them he looked as if he'd been crying his eyes had the haunted look of someone who had danced with death and barely got away. Forgetting that he had tried to kill her lover Amanda launched herself at Kenny hugging and sobbing as if she had lost someone dear to her heart.
'Duncan Amanda we need to talk'. Joe said as he walked in the loft a grim expression on his normally bright smile Methos followed with a look of pure agony and suffering. Picking Kenny up who laid his head on her shoulder as if she was his mother. Duncan and Amanda sat on the couch Kenny lying on Duncan's bed with a small smile on his tear streaked face. Duncan heart ached for the child as he wished that Kenny would allow himself to be a child and stop trying to be an adult even if he was an eight hundred year old immortal.
'What happened to Kenny'? Amanda demand to know as she stared at Joe expecting an answer. Swearing if someone had tried to take his head she would hunt them down and disband them. She was vaguely aware of Duncan holding her hand in his as he looked up at Methos waiting for an answer.
'I was at the bar when he ran in with a panicked expression his face he kept looking around the bar as if he was looking for someone'. Methos stopped as he looked at Joe who nodded his head. Sighing Methos continued.' He saw me and ran up to me and hid behind me. Before I could tell him to get from behind me the door banged open showing a big man'. Kenny whimpered in his sleep as he started grasping the air screaming for his mom. Amanda was at his side in a instance her motherly side forgetting this was the same boy who tried to kill Duncan and wanted her to love him in a way she could never love him.
'Kenny its ok you're safe'. Amanda whispered to Kenny as she held him in her arms rocking him back and forth. Waking slowly Kenny realized he was being looked at by three people and was being held by one of them. Kenny went red in the face as he started to struggle in Amanda's arms. Letting him go with a sigh he fell out of the bed looking at them with mistrust and a pain so deep the very earth wept for him. 'Kenny you're safe here everything's ok'. Amanda said as she walked over to him slowly as if he was a wounded animal in a trap. Seeing the panicked look in his eye's Duncan put a hand on her arm. Looking at Kenny he put a hand out toward him. 'Kenny we won't hurt you'. Something in his voice snapped Kenny out of it because he looked at each of them with recognition. 'McLeod'?
