A random song to listen to to get all the emotional distress of this chapter;

"Kids" by MGMT (Indie Rock at it's most finest, kids.)


Chapter Five-

Lena opened her eyes a bit, and yawned. She glanced around the room, realizing it was not her room, and also it jogged her memory of the flight last night. She moved a little, a large object bumping into her between her shoulder blades.
"Lena?" A voice said softly.
She almost screamed in shock. Had she somehow sleep-walked to a bar and hooked up with someone.
The figure curled up in the sheets that they shared turned on his side. She let out a sigh of relief as she saw her uncle's face.

"Just like old times?"

"What do you mean?"

"When you were just a baby, I was the only one you would never cry for. Every time Del was babysitting you and you couldn't calm down, she called me."
She smiled. "One of the perks of being an Incubus? Getting your niece thrown at you when everyone else gives up?"
"I never thought of it like that." He said, turning onto his back. "Let me tell you a story-"
"ooooh- story time!" she said sarcastically, but she inched closer anyway.
"Once, many years ago...my life had been a living hell. My family had turned their backs and looked the other way, and the people I loved threw my life around as if I meant nothing to them. I was a broken man. One day, I had heard the news that Sarafine was expecting, and I wasn't fazed. At the time I thought it would be a brainwashed child whose evil thoughts about their uncle were put into their head by a manipulating mother and extended family. I ignored it for nine months, since I had quote-on-quote "soiled the Ravenwood name", which included the Duchannes, and was an outcast to them, until a miracle occurred. Sarafine had her baby, and casters and incubi alike were making temporary amends for the occasion. I had free range. I was free of their disappointing glances. I would be able to see my niece."

His bright green eyes looked right into Lena's green and gold.

"and I did. You were so small, and so pure. The feeling of being a complicated and soiled creature and holding you, was almost harmonious. I stayed with a few other relatives for a few days, and that was when everyone -along with myself- realized that I appeared to be the only one who could calm you down. After the truce was broken after a week, it was no longer safe to see you. I presumed it was the last time I'd see you, or at the most seeing you as you look at your family's "black sheep" with disgust." He said sorrowfully, Lena wrapping her arms around him in a warm hug.

I would never do that, Uncle M. She kelted

And I'm so glad that you wouldn't. Even his kelting was full of love and pride.

So- back to the story...how did you end up being able to see me?

"After Sarafine's....incident, everyone no longer had tensions between each other. I was greeted like an old childhood friend resurrected from the dead, and I acted as such...but on the inside, I was still cracked, but not broken. But as they say- "you need a crack to let the light in.".
Your Aunt Del had already taken up the job of raising you, but later she ended up calling me for assistance so much, the two of us and the rest of the family decided I should care for you. I agreed without a single protest. I was still cracked, but raising you helped fill it."
He said, looking at the ceiling, then back at her.

If I ever had children, Lena...I would never -never!- have loved them as much as I do you.

I'm glad. You know, you're kinda like my father figure,too.

They both hugged each other simultaneously, embracing the warmth of each other under the sheets.

Promise you'll always be there for me?

I promise, Lena. Will you be there for me when I need it?

Forever and always.


Hello,again.
(WARNING- multi-fandom post!)
The choir concert sucked. Only half of the choir showed up, and we only got ONE microphone. I hung out with my old 6th grade English teacher. She's cool, man. She's like, 50-something and she has bright red highlights in her hair. She's the one who made me read Beautiful Creatures last year.
Turn out there are Bronies in her class.
I'm grabbing my new Luna shirt and ALL my other stuff and convention stuff and going down there Thursday to fangirl with them.
In other news-
I am a bad person and procrastinating on homework.

P.S.
Snape liked Lily Evans
Macon liked Lila Evers
Coincidence?
I think not.
