Snowcrystal of Thunderclan- Yup, the annoying Sam :) I know what you were thinking and yeah, his dad's Sam, although Isa's a chemical engineer just like Cynthia, but she specializes in genetics and biology, meaning she could've modified Leroy's DNA to give him the blonde hair and sunset colored eyes, who knows? XD :D Cleo and Leroy are cute! :)
Featherflight123- Yay! Leroy x Cleo forever!
Echo in the whispering Wind- Shippings! :D
Dawnshade49- That's a few moments with the next generation of characters :) Cynthia and Leon's kids at the moment :) I hope it's not too hard to follow, Is cronicals of ancient darkness: wolfbrother a fanfiction? Or a published book?
Lixa's story Further explained
Leon felt a stinging pain in his arm and he finally managed to tear off the blindfold and elbow the man holding him in the gut, his arm stinging thoroughly as his vision swam and mostly blackened, "get off of me!" He snarled, throwing the other person off and stumbling towards his house, 'I need to get to Cyn before this stuff screws with my mind!' He thought, struggling to keep going, his senses were being disoriented, his vision blurry and faint, his ears ringing, 'Leave me alone Isa! I hate you!' He yelled mentally, struggling to get the door unlocked and open. He managed to get inside and slouched against the doorframe, his vision blurring further as he looked blankly at the fuzzy shape of the entry room in his house, unsure what he was seeing.
:( :( :( :(
Cynthia cautiously approached Leon, noticing the confusion and anger in his amber eyes and how he had himself propped up against the doorway, he looked like a mess, tired, confused, angry, and upset. "Leon?" She asked carefully, getting a little closer to him, "Are you okay?"
"Go away Isa," Leon slurred, his amber eyes confused and full of anger and frustration, "I hate you."
"What?" Cynthia's eyebrows furrow in confusion, "I'm not Isa, Leon, it's me, Cynthia."
"I don't believe you." He slurred, managing to gather his balance enough to stand properly, convinced she was Isa, the person who had injected the drugs into his system.
"Leo, I swear it's me... what happened?" She asked, taking a small step closer to him, unsure what was wrong with him. She could hear the stairs creaking as their two kids hid at the stairwell, probably confused and scared. "I promise, it's me, Cyndy."
"Leave me alone Isa!" Leon slurred, his vision too blurry to distinguish anything, his ears were ringing, making her voice higher pitched and more like Isa's, "go away!"
"Leon-"
"Go away!" He roared, attempting to perform a warning punch that was supposed to miss her.
Cynthia's blue eyes widened and she stumbled backward as the punch connected with her left cheek. Tripping over one of the kids' toys her back hit the ground with a hard crash and she groaned, her back stinging painfully, and her cheek throbbed with pain. Through the extreme pain, she noticed the two kids rushing down the stairs towards her. Panicking with Leon's unstable state she yelled, "No! It's okay, I'm fine! Don't come over here!" Flynx froze at the bottom of the stairs, huddling close to one of the bars while Lixa ignored her warning and rushed over anyway, forcing her mother into action once again as Leon growled and got closer, squinting, his hands tightening into fists. Cynthia forced aside the pain and heaved herself to her feet, her balance barely good enough to keep her on her feet as Flynx joined his sister, sniffling heavily and trying not to cry. "Leon stop!" Cynthia yelled at her partner, raising her voice in hopes of snapping him out of whatever he was stuck in, "you're scaring them!" Leon faltered and she noticed the way he was fighting against something, struggling. With her hands behind her back she quickly found Jay and Holly's contacts as Leon got closer, "don't do this to them," She pleaded with him, backing up towards the living room, forcing the two kids back and away from their unstable father, "please Leon, don't hurt them." He just growled in reply, his blurry vision focused on her and her alone. Cynthia pushed the kids back into the living room, threw her phone as well and slammed the door shut, sprinting up the stairs as fast as she could, only two stairs ahead of him. 'I have to do something!'
:( :( :( :( :(
Lixa scrambled over to her mother's phone which had slid on the carpet and was lying screen down on the creamy carpet, finding it open to two numbers Lixa called them both, in tears from her fear, "Aunt Holly? Uncle Jay?" She asked into the phone, crying while doing so, Flynx was huddled near the door, the small child crying at the top of his lungs, scared for his mother.
:( :( :( :(
Cynthia tripped on the last stair and managed to twist, falling onto her back rather than her stomach and found herself in even more pain than before. Leon jumped over her and grabbed her ankles, hauling her away from the stairs, grumbling under his breath as he did so, she knew he thought she was Isa and frankly it terrified her of what he was going to do to her because of that. "Leon! Listen to me!" She pleaded, struggling to sit up and free her ankles from his grasp, "It's me! I'm not Isa! I swear!" She managed to get her ankles free and ran away from him, sprinting into their room and slamming the door, pushing her back against the door and digging her heels into the carpet as he slammed his shoulder into the door, "Leo it's me, Cyndy!"
"I don't believe you!" Leon roared, slamming into the door again, "You screwed with my senses, Isa!"
'Oh Starclan no, please tell me she didn't use a chemical solution on him!' Cynthia dug her heels farther into the floor as Leon started just pushing on the door from the other side, pushing against the door with all of his strength. "I'm not Isa!"
:( :( :( :(
"What's wrong, Lixa?" Holly picked up the phone and Lixa cried harder, glad to hear her aunt's voice.
"Daddy's gone crazy!" She cried, huddled next to her brother, scared by the racket happening upstairs.
"What do you mean? Leon's not crazy, Lixa." Holly's voice was calm and collected, helping the small girl calm down.
"He's being mean! He hit mommy!" She sobbed, hiding with her brother as she heard her mother shriek in what sounded like pain.
"What?!"
:( :( :( :( :( :(
Cynthia shrieked as Leon shoved open the door with enough strength to send her crashing into the wall and the door to make a loud bang. "Leon! Stop it!" She yelled, scrambling back away from him as he blindly searched for something in a chest of drawers. Cynthia's face drained of color as she realized what he had found. "Oh, Starclan… Leon! Put that knife down!" She dodged his attempt to tackle her and tried to do it again but he timed it right the next time, tackling her to the floor and pinning her down, a fierce scowl on his face, his anger and actions heightened drastically. He would never do this to anyone when he wasn't under a drug that viciously heightened his emotions and actions while diminishing his senses. "Leon, please, I'm not Isa! I'm not who you think I am! I'm Cynthia! Cynthia Bramble!"
:( :( :( :(
"I'm on my way, Lixa, don't get involved till I get there alright?"
"Hurry Holly!" Lixa cried, "they're scaring me!"
"I'm coming Lixa, it'll be okay princess."
:( :( :( :(
"I don't believe you!" Leon growled, squinting at her.
"Leon, please believe me," She pleaded with him, blue eyes wide with fear, "don't hurt us!"
Leon's arm was already in motion, but he tried to stop the action as Cynthia managed to hit him hard in the temple with a book she was able to reach while turning her head to one side, the blade ended up slicing open her face and part of her neck, rather than doing some severe damage. Leon roared in pain and scrambled up and away from her, fighting the drug, struggling viciously against it. Cynthia didn't even get to her feet, she just panted, out of breath and her body ached, her face burned and her back hurt really badly. Leon hit himself in the head, obviously attempting to free himself and accidently kicked Cynthia in the shoulder, making her roll onto her side and whack her head on the wall, sliding into unconsciousness rather suddenly.
:( :( :( :( :(
Holly raced into the house, "Lixa! Where are your parents?" She asked, completely out of breath. Lixa raced up the stairs, still crying but less now that the ruckus had completely stopped and it was dead silent. Holly raced after her, sprinting up the stairs and to her brother's room, finding him and Cynthia, Leon stumbling backward, blinking rapidly, looking confused and horrified, his face white as a sheet. "Oh my Starclan Leon, what happened?!" Holly rushed over to Cynthia, checking her unconscious sister in law for a pulse and finding one rather easily.
"I-I don't know, i-is she okay?" Leon asked his sister, keeping his distance away from the two girls, afraid he would hurt them.
"I'm not sure, the cut on her face probably needs stitches, Leon, that's pretty deep."
"Mom?" Lixa asked timidly, scampering over to her mother and froze, seeing the blood gleaming on her face in the moonlight. "Mom?!"
"It's okay Lixa," Holly soothed her, "She's just tired, can you call Jay for me?"
"Y-yeah," Lixa glanced at her father before racing back down the stairs, unsure what to think.
Holly looked at her brother, "Cynthia seems fine Leon, but I can't be sure if the twins she's carrying are okay as well, I have no idea if they're okay."
Tears welled in Leon's amber eyes and he hung his head, "I'm sorry," He said, voice strained, "I don't know what happened, but I'm really sorry."
"I know," Holly told her brother, gently shaking Cynthia's shoulder and trying to wake her up, "Wake up Cindy, you need to wake up."
Cynthia's blue eyes cracked open and the first thing she said was, "Is Leon okay?" She rasped, her voice tired from all the yelling she had done, "The twins?"
"Leon's fine, he's back to normal it seems, and…" Holly hesitated, "I can't tell you if the twins are okay or not, I have no idea."
"Okay," Cynthia mumbled, mostly closing her eyes again.
"How badly are you injured, Cindy?" Holly asked her, green eyes fixed worriedly on her.
"Besides my back hurting like I've been dragged along a path of glass? My face hurts and I landed on my wrist funny." She mumbled.
"Jay will be here soon, just stay with us, Cindy."
"I am," Cynthia mumbled a reply, not noticing Leon looking at her with both fear and hope in his amber eyes.
