So...uh...I decided to return to the Fairy Tail fandom for awhile. Been awhile since I've even had an interest in the fandom and my need to write this story just kinda smacked me in the face and refused to go away until I sat down and wrote. So here we are with my return to the Fairy Tail fandom. You have no idea how many times I accidentally wrote 'Sakura' instead of 'Lucy' and had to smack myself for mixing up the fandom I was writing.
Anyway...
I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, just the plot to this story. Won't lie, almost wrote Naruto instead of Fairy Tail. I need to get my shit together, I swear.

Lucy sighed as she listened to the sound of her feet connecting with the cobblestone below. She had just completed another solo mission and, as always, she had actually gotten the full award. Since Master had decided to break up Team Natsu, she had been forced to become a solo mage. In the beginning, she had not been happy about his decision to break her team apart. But after she had taken some time to really think about his choice, she came to an easy understanding. Her team had been one of the most destructive and they rarely walked away with any of the reward money. If anything, they had usually ended up owing the town money. Her teammates had been lucky and didn't have to worry about paying bills like rent. Lucy, on the other hand, couldn't afford to take a pay cut. And so, four months after the disbandment of her team, her pockets were actually lined with money.
It wasn't to say that she didn't miss working with her team, because she truly did. But the fact that she didn't have to scramble at the end of each month to gather the fund to pay her rent was a huge weight off her shoulders. But more than anything, she missed the company of her team. Since its disbandment, her former teammates rarely found time to talk to her. When they were actually at the guild, they always seemed to preoccupied with something else to ask her how she was doing. They never approached her and that bothered her to no end. Just because their team wasn't together anymore didn't mean that their friendship needed to end. Every time she would try to talk to them, they would give her a strange look and go back to whatever they had been doing.
Their easy dismissal of her was what hurt the most and after two months of trying to get through to them, she finally gave up and attempted to move on with her life. So far, it had been a nice change of pace, if not a bit lonely if she was completely honest with herself. She was so used to having someone constantly by her side and having a random body in her apartment that the sudden emptiness seemed to eat her up inside.
Sometimes when she would return home, she rush back to her home and hope that they'd had a change of heart and had broken into her home during her home. She had actually hoped that she would walk into her house and find that all of her food had been eaten by Natsu and Happy. She had hoped that she would walk in her door and immediately trip over Gray's discarded clothing. Hell, she hoped that she would walk into her home and find Erza's swords sticking out of her wall or find the red head digging through her panties.
But that never happened, not once did her hopes become reality. And it truly stung.
As she made her way out of the city gates, opting to take her time and walk back to the guild instead of riding the train, a small whimper broke her out of her thoughts. Her brow furrowed in confusion at the sound and she twisted her head back and forth, looking for the source of the strange noise. When she didn't see anything but the surrounding trees and bushes, she shrugged and continued on her way.
When she heard the sound again, she stopped and looked around again, silently wondering where in the world the sound was coming from. It didn't sound like any animal that she had ever heard of, but then again, there were still a lot of things that surprised her in this world. When she heard the sound again, she decided to throw caution to the wind and followed the sound.
After about ten minutes of battling against tree limbs and tripping over branches on the forest floor, Lucy finally managed to break through the treeline and into a small clearing. She heard the whimper again, louder this time, and turned her head towards the sound. Her eyes locked with the person responsible for the whimpering and her eyes widened a fraction, her jaw landing somewhere around her knees.
Lucy quickly shook her head and regained her composure before taking in the appearance of the children sitting mere feet away from her. One child had spiky, maroon colored hair, caramel colored skin, and deep, indigo eyes that seemed to stare into her very soul. She noticed his tense posture and watched him curl himself almost protectively around his sleeping companion. She saw him flinch when the sleeping child let out a terrified whimper in his sleep.
She turned her attention to the sleeping child that she had heard whimper. His two toned, black and white hair was in an interesting style. It reminded her almost like a glorified glam-rock look that seemed to suit him perfectly. His skin was as pale as fallen snow, the only thing paler than it was his hair. She noticed that both boys were dressed the same, simple black t-shirts and black shorts that ended at their knees. She frowned when she noticed that neither of them were wearing shoes.
The two children that looked oddly familiar were curled around each other against a large tree. The two-toned haired child lay whimpering next to his friend, while the maroon haired one stared at her with an almost terrified and lost expression. Lucy wracked her brain, trying to figure out where she knew these children from, she could have sworn that she had seen them before somewhere. Not knowing what else to do, she started to slowly walk up to them. She saw the maroon haired child tense further and stopped mere feet away from them. She dropped herself to the ground and sat cross legged across from them, not wanting to startle either of them, even if one of them was sleeping.
"Is your friend okay?", Lucy asked gently, pointing her finger towards the whimpering child.
"I...I think he's having a nightmare. I can't wake him up, I tried everything.", the maroon haired boy whispered, his voice trembling slightly.
"May I try to help?", she asked with a small smile. Unless the boy was okay with her approach, she wouldn't move from her spot. She was a stranger and she had given this child no reason to trust her.
"Do you really think you can help him?", the boy asked, his gaze falling to his sleeping friend.
"I think I might be able to. May I try?", she replied with a nod.
The boy just nodded at her and she couldn't help but widen her smile at the boy. She lifted herself from the ground and took a moment to wipe the dirt off the bottom of her jeans and walked towards the two young boys. Once she was directly in front of them, she lowered herself to her knees in front of them. She slowly lifted the sleeping boy away from his friend and cradled him close to her body. She leaned back until she was sitting on her rear again and wrapped a supporting arm around the boy's shoulders before she started to run her free hand through his hair. She whispered soothing words into her hair and rocked him slowly back and forth.
The maroon haired boy watched in awe as his friend's whimpers and cries ceased and the tension in his body slowly went away. He sighed a little in relief and took a moment to take in the sight of the random woman who had found them. Long, mid-back length hair flowed freely down her back. Big, doe brown eyes locked onto his friend's face, a small smile playing on her lips. Her jean covered legs were crossed comfortably on the forest floor and her green, v-neck shirt was dusty from the forest floor. He felt like he had seen this woman somewhere before but couldn't think of where. Come to think of it, he couldn't remember a whole lot of anything.
"Just who are you anyway? Why are you helping us?", he asked with narrowed eyes, his body moving to sit beside the blonde that was currently rocking his friend.
"My name is Lucy and I am helping you because you looked like you needed it. And just who are you, kiddo? Where are your parents?", Lucy replied easily. She couldn't blame the poor kid for being a little suspicious, she would be too if she was in his shoes. She moved her gaze over to him and waited for him to respond, not once ceasing her rocking. Her fingers continued to sift through the child in her lap's hair.
"I'm Cobra and my friend is Midnight. We don't have parent's and I don't know where we came from, I can't even remember how we ended up here.", the child, Cobra, muttered. He lifted a curious eyebrow when Lucy's eyes widened a fraction when he told her their names. Maybe she knew who they were?
"Well, this just got interesting.", she muttered to herself before shaking her head. "You don't remember anything at all, Cobra?", she asked, making sure that she hadn't heard him wrong. If these two truly were the Cobra and Midnight that she had met before, she was in for quite the interesting rest of the day.
"I just remember a bright light and then everything going dark. I woke up here a little while ago. Midnight hasn't woken up the entire time I've been awake.", Cobra confirmed with a grimace.
"That's rough, you don't have anywhere to go, do you?", she asked with a frown.
"No, I was going to ask Midnight for ideas once he woke up but I don't know when he'll be doing so. He sleeps a lot and I never know when he'll wake up again.", he replied with a small, frustrated sigh.
Lucy's brows furrowed in confusion, this situation was getting more and more interesting by the second. First, she had stumbled upon the child like forms of two people who had tried to kill her at least twice in the past few years. From what it sounded like, Cobra had no memory of his life before being turned into a child, including his memories of herself. Next, while he didn't have any memory of his life before being turned into a child, he still retained all of his memories of Midnight. To a certain extent, at least. She was at a loss, she had no idea what to do in this situation. She quickly decided that she couldn't just leave these two sitting out in the forest with no where to go.
Yes, they had technically tried to kill her a few times, but she was a firm believer in second chances. She had given Gajeel a second chance, after all. And the Iron Slayer had pretty much beaten her within an inch of her life. She had forgiven Laxus and his team for their failed attempt at taking over the guild. If she could forgive other people who had hurt her in the past, what was stopping her from doing the same for Midnight and Cobra? Especially since they both couldn't remember a damn thing. Well, she assumed that Midnight was missing his memories just like Cobra. Seeing as the child was still asleep, it was kind of hard to ask him if he was having issues with his memory as well.
So, she did the only thing she could do.
"I have an idea but it is completely up to you and your friend.", Lucy stated firmly, her eyes dancing with determination.
"I'm open to just about anything right now.", Cobra sighed. At this point, anything was better than being stuck in a forest with nothing but the clothes on his back.
"How about I take you two back to the inn that's in the town about fifteen minutes from here? I can contact my Guild Master and ask him if it's okay if I bring you two back to Magnolia with me.", Lucy suggested with a small smile. If Master truly allowed her to bring these two back with her, she was sure that a few people from the guild would have a major issue with it. But at that moment, she couldn't bring herself to really care These two didn't seem to have any recollection of their time in a Dark Guild and she wasn't about to just leave them to starve in a forest by themselves. Her conscious wouldn't allow her to do so.
"You really think your Guild Master would let you bring two kids you barely know back with you?", Cobra asked skeptically. Part of him asked because it seemed way too good to be true. And the other half of him felt the need to ask because he wasn't quite sure if he could fully trust this woman yet. He had known her for all of twenty minutes and she had shown them nothing but kindness. But that didn't mean that she wouldn't just throw them in an orphanage the moment she stepped into town with them.
"I don't think Master would have an issue with it, it wouldn't be the first time he has taken in kids that have no where else to go. Myself being one of those cases.", she assured with a small smirk. She felt the child in her arms stir slightly and looked down at him, her eyes instantly locking with scared, red eyes. She gave Midnight a soft smile and removed her hand from his hair. When he whined at the lack of contact, she smirked and began sifting through his two-toned hair again.
"Who are you?", Midnight asked quietly, not completely understanding what was going on. The last thing he remembered was a bright light and the darkness consuming him. He remembered his mind being ravaged by unrelenting nightmares and then a soft voice telling him that everything would be okay. He remembered a strange feeling of safety and comfort washing over his unconscious mind and falling into a more fitful slumber. And now here he was, curled up in the arms of a woman that looked vaguely familiar but with no memories of who the woman was.
"My name is Lucy. I found you and Cobra about a half hour ago. We were waiting for you to wake up before we moved to the inn a little ways from here. If you are okay with it, I am going to contact my Guild Master and ask him if I can bring you back to the Guild with me.", she explained gently, her eyes straying over to Cobra, only to see the small boy give a sleepy yawn. She was pretty sure that the poor kid was exhausted after finding himself in a situation that none of them quite understood.
"You won't leave us if you're Master says no, will you?", Midnight trembled. He had no idea where he was and no memories to help him, the thought of being alone again was absolute terrifying for the young boy. Not only that, but she had been able to make his seemingly never ending nightmares go away. He didn't know if it was because of his memory loss or not, but he couldn't remember the last time he had actually been able to sleep so fitfully. He didn't want to have those horrific nightmares anymore, he just wanted to sleep in peace for once.
"Of course not, I could never leave two kids behind. Especially two kids who needed me more than anything. I have no doubt that Master will allow me to bring you back with me. And if he did say no, I would bring you two back with me anyway, consequences be damned.", she assured with a small smile, hugging the small boy gently.
"We'll be fine, Midnight. I don't think she's going to try to hurt us. She didn't even touch you until I gave her the go ahead to try and help you. I think we can trust her.", Cobra spoke up with a small sigh. He was sure that if he was okay with the suggestion, that Midnight would go along with it as well. From the little bit that he could remember, Midnight always followed him around without a second thought.
"I guess I'll go with you, Lucy. As long as Cobra comes with.", Midnight mumbled before burying his face in Lucy's shoulder.
"You heard the man, looks like we're going back to the inn for the night. Once we get there, we'll order some room service and get you two something to eat, I imagine you two are famished.", she nodded, her suspicions of them being hungry was confirmed when she heard their stomachs rumble in response. Both of their cheeks reddened with embarrassment and she couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
"Do you want to walk, Midnight? Or would you rather I carried you?", Lucy asked turning her head to look at the boy currently nuzzling her shoulder.
"Would it be okay if I stayed up here for now?", the boy replied shyly.
"Of course.", she nodded before turning her attention to Cobra. "My back is free if you want to hitch a ride.", she offered.
Cobra nodded before clambering onto the blondes back. Once she was sure that he wouldn't fall off, she slowly raised herself from the ground, both of her arms hooked around Midnight. She felt Cobra's tiny arms tighten around her neck and couldn't help but smile. She suddenly felt like a big sister, if not a mother. Either way, it was a nice feeling. If these two could trust her completely, then she would do the same for them. She giggled softly when she felt both boys nuzzle their faces into her shoulders and started to make her way back to town.
After renting a room for the night at the inn and ordering just about everything on the menu, both boys had fallen asleep on the short trek back to town, she made her way towards their room. She easily unlocked the door to their room and gently pushed it closed with her foot. She walked towards the only bed in the room and gently laid Midnight on it before carefully removing the sleeping boy on her back, placing him next to his friend. She gave them a small smile before taking a seat on the edge of the bed just a little ways away from them.
She reached for the key ring on her belt and unhooked one of her keys, swishing it through the air to summon Virgo. If she was going to take care of the two boys properly, she was going to need some supplies, including a change of clothes for them and hygiene products for them. She smiled at the spirit when she arrived with a flash of gold.
"Punishment, Princess?", the maid asked with a small bow.
"No, no punishment, Virgo. I was hoping you could bring me my pack and bring some clothes and some hygiene products for those two, please.", Lucy requested, tilting her head in the direction of the two sleeping boys on the bed. She watched as a small flash of surprise passed through the maidens eyes before they became blank once more.
"That will be no problem, but just who are these children? They look strangely familiar.", the maiden asked.
"That's because we technically know them. They're Midnight and Cobra from the Oracion Seis. I don't know how they became children nor do I know why they don't seem to have any memories of their lives before being transformed. The only thing they do remember is each other.", Lucy explained quietly, not wanting to wake the poor boys.
"I see, I will return in a moment with the things you require.", Virgo nodded before bowing and disappearing. She reappeared a moment later, her arms full of clothing for the two boys and anything else that they may require. Lucy's bag was hanging from one of her wrists. She gently set the stack of clothing and other products on the small table next to the bed and handed her Mistress her bag. After Lucy confirmed that she wouldn't require anything else, she disappeared once more.
Once Virgo was gone, Lucy snuck a peak at the sleeping boys and smiled at the position they were in. At some point during Virgo's short visit, they had curled around each other in an almost protective, brotherly manner. It warmed her heart to see them acting that way, even if there was a chance that they had no idea that they were doing it. After tearing her gaze away from them, she dug through her pack and pulled out her communication lacrima and sent a small pulse of magic in it. When Makarov's face appeared a moment later, she shot him a small smile.
"Ahh, Lucy, what can I do for you child?", the Master asked with a cheeky grin.
"Well, I'm going to start off with telling you that my mission was a success but I came across something quite interesting.", She began, when the master nodded for her to continue, she did. "Just as I was leaving town to start heading back home, I came across a couple of kids. You may remember them, actually."
"And just who are these children you are talking about, Lucy?", Makarov asked with a curious raise of his brow.
Instead of trying to explain everything all at once, she turned the lacrima in her hand towards the forms Midnight and Cobra curled around each other while they slept. When she heard her Master make a sound that strangely resembled a dying walrus, she turned the device back towards herself.
"You found the child like forms of Cobra and Midnight of the Oracion Seis?!", he asked, his eyes on the verge of bulging out of his skull at her discovery.
"That's right, but that's not all. They both don't have any memories of me, their former guild, or anything that happened in the past. The only thing that they seem to remember is each other.", Lucy explained with a shrug.
"What do you plan to do with them?", he asked, his mind running a mile a minute. He already had a feeling that she was going to give him an answer that would surely change a lot of things at his guild hall.
"Well, that's exactly why I called you. I already asked them if they were okay with it and they are. I would like to request your permission to bring them back to Magnolia with me. They trust me completely and I can't bring myself to just leave them here to fend for themselves. I can tell that they still have their magic and they would be great additions to the guild. You were able to give Gajeel and Juvia a second chance and I think these two deserve one too.", Lucy explained, her voice firm with her resolve. She could see the Master's hesitance and she couldn't really blame him for it.
"You know that this will not go over well with the rest of the guild, your former team especially.", Makarov pointed out.
"Master, with all due respect, nobody from Team Natsu has spoken to me since you decided to break our team up. I don't really care what they think about this. Midnight and Cobra will be solely my responsibility.", she stated firmly, not even noticing that both boys had woken up during her chat with the Master. She jumped a little when both boys crawled across the bed towards her and plopped themselves on opposite sides of her, both of them peering into the lacrima in her hand.
"Are you truly sure about this, Lucy? There will be no going back once they get here. I can't even tell you what will happen when the Counsel catches word of this.", the Master sighed, knowing that there would be no chance of changing the blondes mind.
"Let me deal with the Counsel. I won't let them lay a hand on either of these boys.", Lucy smirked, her smirk turning into a small smile when she felt two pairs of tiny arms wrap around her waist in a hug.
"I can see that there is no chance of me changing your mind. You may bring them back with you, Lucy. They will solely be your responsibility and they will have to stay in your home with you.", Makarov sighed in defeat.
"I was already planning on both of those With the amount of money I have made during my time as a solo mage I was actually looking into buying a bigger place. I guess I'll have to start looking once we get back home.", she nodded.
"Very well, when you arrive back in Magnolia, bring them straight to my office. We will introduce them to the rest of the guild together. We have no idea what the other's reactions are going to be.", Master explained before the device went black.
Lucy set the lacrima on the small bedside table before turning to the boy's currently clinging to her waist, their eyes wide with excitement.
"You hear that, boys? You're coming home with me!", she grinned.
Cobra's lips drew back in a small smile while Midnight's eyes brimmed with happy tears. They had only heard a little bit of her conversation and they had started to think that they would be turned down. They were going to have a home and Lucy was going to be the one to give it to them. They were confused by some parts of the conversation but neither of them could bring themselves to care at that moment. They both figured that their blonde haired savior would explain it to them if she felt it was important. For now though, they were just going to bask in the fact that they were able to stay with her.
A knock on the door signaled that their food had arrive and Lucy gently pried herself away from the boys. She quickly pulled the food cart into the room and starting piling two plates full of food. She handed each boy a plate and told them to dig in before she served herself a small portion of the food. She sat down on the bed in between the boys and watched with amusement as the shoveled food into their mouths as quickly as they could. She'd definitely been right when she had figured that they were hungry. If she recalled correctly, Cobra was a Dragon Slayer and he was probably going to eat more than her and Midnight combined. She knew that her grocery bill was going to increase with two more mouths to feed but it was nothing new to her.
She was used to feeding Happy and Natsu's bottomless pits of stomachs, after all.
Once every scrap of food was devoured, mostly by Cobra, all three of them let out a satisfied sigh. Once their plates were cleared away and the food cart was placed back in the hallway, Lucy turned her attention back to the duo on the bed. She shot them both a small smile and started sorting through the clothing that Virgo had brought for them. After picking out outfits for the two kids, she ushered them towards the bathroom. She had no idea how long they had been laying in that forest and fully intended on scrubbing them clean.
She turned the taps on the bathtub on and started filling the water with warm water. She turned back towards the boys and gestures for them to strip. When they both flushed with embarrassment, she couldn't help but laugh at the adorable blushes forming on their cheeks.
"We're eight years old, Lucy! We can bathe ourselves, you know!", Cobra protested, his blush darkening by the second.
"I know you two are more than capable of bathing yourselves but I don't know how long you two were laying unconscious out there. I want to make sure you two don't have any injuries and I want to make sure all that dirt gets washed out of your hair.", Lucy explained with a smile.
"After this we can bathe alone?", Midnight asked, his cheeks growing darker and darker by the moment. He trusted this woman, but he wasn't so sure about her bathing him like he was a helpless child.
Eight year old's had pride too, dammit!
"I'll make you two a deal, let me check you for injuries and wash your hair and then I'll let you two finish yourselves. Deal?", Lucy improvised with a smile. She really did just want to make sure that they were physically okay, plus she could practically see the little dirt piles on each boy's scalp.
"I can deal with that.", Cobra shrugged before quickly stripping his clothing and all but dived into the tub.
Midnight just nodded and followed his friend's lead.
Lucy sighed with relief. She grabbed a hotel issued drinking cup from the bathroom counter and got to work wetting down Cobra's hair. She watched as dirt and grime dripped out of his hair and grimaced. Turned out the kid was dirtier than he looked. She quickly lathered her hands with shampoo and worked the suds into his maroon hair. Her eyes roamed over his back and torso and sighed in relief when she didn't see a single mark on his body. She knew that the older Cobra had scars all over his body from his time in the Tower, but it seemed that they had disappeared when he'd been turned into a child. She quickly rinsed his hair of the suds and smiled gently at him before turning to Midnight.
She repeated the process with the two toned haired boy and smiled when she found no bruises or otherwise marring his pale flesh. She really didn't know a whole lot about Midnight or his past. She knew that his prayer had been for a quiet place to sleep, but that was about as far as her knowledge went. She made him a silent promise to learn everything she could about the small, timid boy in front of her. She quickly rinsed the suds from his hair and moved to stand back up. She paused when she felt a small hand close around her wrist and turned to look at Midnight questioningly.
"Thank you for everything you are doing for us. I don't know how we could ever repay you for your kindness.", He spoke up timidly.
"It's no problem at all, don't worry about it. You two will never feel alone again, I promise. And Celestial Wizards never break their promises.", she replied softly.
Midnight nodded and released his hold on her wrist. Both boys watched the blonde leave the bathroom, leaving the door cracked a little in case they needed her. Without a second thought, both boys got to work cleaning the rest of their bodies. They didn't want to be away from the kind, blonde haired woman longer than they needed to be.
Once they were squeaky clean, both boys clambered out of the tub and made quick work of drying their tiny bodies off. They wrapped towels around their little waists and walked out of the bathroom after noticing that Lucy had forgotten to bring their pajamas into the bathroom with her. She giggled at them when they walked over to the bed and wordlessly handed them their change of clothing. She turned her back to them to give them a little privacy and waited for them to signal that they were finished.
When Lucy heard Cobra clear his throat, she turned back around and internally swooned at their cuteness. Virgo had done a good job picking out clothes for her two boys. Cobra was clad in a pair of fleece sleep pants with little purple snakes decorating them and a black shirt with a large purple snake that reminded her of his snake companion from years ago right in the middle of it. Midnight was decked out in a similar outfit, only with magical carpets on them instead of snakes. She couldn't help but smile at the fact that her spirit remembered what their most prized possessions had once been.
She offhandedly wondered what had happened to Cobra's snake and Midnight's magic carpet after they had been turned into children. She'd find a way to get them back to them, no matter what the cost. She could see these boys happy no matter what she had to do.
"You two ready to get some sleep? It's a long train ride back to Magnolia.", she asked with a small smile.
Cobra just nodded and crawled onto the bed, immediately taking the left side of the bed. He was asleep before his head made contact with the pillow.
Midnight, on the other hand, looked terrified at the thought of sleeping.
"I'll keep the nightmares away, Midnight.", Lucy promised as she held her arms out to the scared child. He didn't waste anytime jumping into her arms and she hoisted them to the top of the bed, her in the middle and him on the right. She laid down on her back and wrapped an arm around Midnight's shoulders, pulling her close to his body, her hand idly sifting through his silky tresses. She heard him sigh in content before she watched his eyes droop closed. She turned her head to the left when she felt Cobra snuggle closer to her for warmth. With a small smile, she wrapped her free arm around him in the same fashion as Midnight and drew him closer to her.
Once she was sure that both of her boys were both down for the count, she stared up at the ceiling for a few moments. She silently wondered just how much her life was going to change now that she had two eight year old boys to take care of. Sure, she was good with children, but the thought of raising a child had never really crossed her mind. But now that she had the two boys wrapped around her, she couldn't bring herself to regret her decision to take them in. In some ways, she was sure that she needed them just as much as they needed her. She had been so lonely the last few months and now they were slowly, but surely, filling the empty void in her heart.
She had promised them that they would never be alone again and she would do everything in her power to never break that promise. And not just because it was she was a Celestial Mage and that her promises were binding that drove her. No, it was because they trusted her to keep them safe. They didn't have anywhere else to go and no memories to their names and she had welcomed them with open arms. If it came down to it, she would fight each and every member of Fairy Tail just to keep them safe.
She would take on Brain if she had to to keep them safe.
She would face Acnologia and destroy him if he touched a hair on their heads.
She would take on Phantom Lord a thousand times over if she had to.
These were her boys now and they were more precious than anything.
She would keep them safe.
No matter what.
With a silent nod of determination, she kissed each boy on the head and finally allowed her eyelids to droop with exhaustion. With a small yawn, she got herself comfortable and finally allowed herself to welcome the abyss of sleep.
Tomorrow was a new day and with a new day came new adventures. And now, a new family to call her own.
Phew! That ended up being a lot longer than I had expected.
Loved it? Hated it? Let me know! Seriously, let me know, I want to know if this story is worth continuing.
I couldn't help it, Child Cobra and Child Midnight are just so cute.
I am fully aware that both of them are probably OOC, but not a whole lot is known about their personalities as children, so I'm just rolling with it for now.
I'll stop rambling now.
