Re: Actions Speak Louder

Draco watched her walk back tot he door, but jumped up when she suddenly clutched her face and fell to the floor. "Mira?! What happened?!"

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:11 am

Miranda cried out and saw blood on her fingers, "... OWEN!" She cried and hurried to her feet, "Something is wrong!!" She ran, cradling her stomach and holding her skirt up at the same time, "Owen!!"

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:20 am

Draco growled then and stepped closer to Hika. He was needed in both places... but he needed to choose... and Hika was defenseless.

Owen fell over one of the tables in the room they had stayed in and hit the floor with a loud thud. "Please s-stop! I'm not here to hurt anybody!!" Owen pleaded. "You're hurting my wi-"

"Shut up!" There were so many angry fairies, Owen didn't know what to do... and he'd never imagined those who weren't queens could change their size at will.. and they were now Owen's size. The man's words were emphasized by the next punch, and hot tears ran down Owen's cheeks. He felt bad, because he knew Mira was enduring the same thing. "Hah! Look, he's crying! I'd always heard elves were a very proud race of mutts! Well, I guess he finally figured out there ain't any pride in being a mutt!" A kick was aimed for his stomach, but Owen covered it with his arms, desperately trying to find some way to block off his pain from Mira, but it was becoming more and more difficult.

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:26 am

Miranda finally found him, her stomach ached, she knew something was wrong after that last pain, but she kept going, "STOP!" She screamed, "We share a heart, you're hurting three people at once!!" She blocked the next blow aimed for her husband, directly to her eye. The pain was unbearable, she clutched her belly, trying not to cry or show how weak she was, because they thought Owen was weak.

"Please... I am pregnant, you can't keep doing this!"

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:37 am

The man frowned angrily and shook his head. "Like hell I can!" He pulled his arm back, balling his fingers into a fist, but before he could bring it around, a gentle yet firm hand touched then man's hand, and his eyes widened in fear.

"I have granted these people safe haven, and you would betray their trust? My trust?" Amiah frowned angrily. "Leave now, all of you before I mark you wound for wound! These poor people deserved none of this!"

"Why would you let an enemy among our midst?! He's a mutt, nothing more! His kind-"

"He is not his people!" Amiah snapped. "He is one man only! One man who deserves the chance to live happily without fearing for his life! Now go!"

"But-"

"GO!" To say Amiah was angry would be an understatement. She turned back to Mira and Owen and frowned sadly when she looked upon them. Though they shared a heart, and their pain... Owen definitely looked far worse than Mira. He'd taken quite a beating... they both had. Owen was still laying, trembling on the floor from a mixture of terror, and pain. She felt horrible, and in some way responsible. She should have had them sleep with the dragons, or with her where they wouldn't have been in danger.

"Th-The baby?" Owen croaked. "H-How is the b-baby?"

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:44 am

Miranda was stunned yet relieved, she could barely see past the tears in her eyes. The pain she felt was making Owen feel worse, she was shaking so much, she thought she was going to be ill.
"It's okay..." Shecwas trying to reassure herself, but she couldn't feel that gentle presence. Miranda couldn't seem to wrap her mind around the blood on the floor and her dress. Finally, she managed to turn around and hold him on her arms.

"I am so sorry, I should have made you come..."

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:50 am

Owen shook his head. "Th-They wouldn't let me. I tried to see Draco this morning, but they said I couldn't go in because I'd upset Hika." He was leaning heavily against Mira and he barely even noticed Amiah as she tried to decide on the extent of his wounds. "I knew they were lying, but I didn't want to argue... They called me a mutt earlier today and gave me that grits for you to eat as slop. I'm sorry, I tasted it and I know it was bad, but I didn't know what else to do."

"You should have come to me." Amiah said calmly. "I would have fixed it."

"If they can't act w-well of their own accord, then there is n-no reason to get you involved. They'll only think badly of you."

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 1:55 am

Miranda let him down reluctantly so Amiah could look him over, "I had no idea... If I had known, Draco could have come on his own with Hika..." She kept fighting to feel the presence of their little one, but she couldn't tap him or her... Owen was in so much pain, it overshadowed all else. She bowed suddenly and cried softly.

"Please forgive me! I am hurting you more!"

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 2:01 am

"No, I'm sorry for hurting you. I shouldn't have come... I should have just said no to Draco." He reached out to her and took her hand. "I'm so sorry, you're covered in bruises too. Please don't cry..." Owen had his own tears flowing too though... and they came more when Mira was crying.

Then suddenly, a loud crrash broke their concentration, and Draco walked inside with the door frame on either side of his stomach. "What happened?! WHO WILL I EAT FOR THIS?! I SMELLED OWEN'S BLOOD FROM THE LAYING BED WITH HIKA. SHE'S WORRIED TO DEATH, AND I'M GONNA EAT MYSELF WHOEVER DID THIS!!!"

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 10:41 am

Miranda could see the panic in Draco's eyes, she could Herro Hika too. For Draco to leave her, it had to be serious.

"It's fine now, Draco... Owen needs you." She was relieved to see him. Miranda doubled over when she felt pain in her stomach again. She wasn't sure if Owen could tell or not, it was really uncomfortable.

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:01 am

Owen doubled over along with her, and Draco frowned. "What happened?! Why are you both covered in bruises and why are you clutching your stomach?!" Draco demanded, his eyes were wild.

"Owen was attacked, and I'm not sure what's wrong with Mira." Amiah frowned. "Lay down, Mira, let me try to help..."

"I'm going to eat whoever had a hand in this!!"

"No, Draco! Don't stain your pure teeth with blood! Just bring them here, and I will punish them." Amiah frowned.

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:05 am

Miranda closed her eyes, she felt so tired suddenly. "Owen... I am so sorry, I should have done something more. I think I am losing it..."

After a series of loud crashes and such, Hika appeared next to Draco, "What happened?!"

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:09 am

Hika had part of the wall around her waist, and she seemed to be just as freaked out as Draco.

"Look at our two-legs, Mira!! Look!! Let us feat upon the flesh of those who did this!!"

"Draco... calm down." Owen mumbled and took Mira's hand. "You aren't losing the baby, everything will be fine." He smiled warmly.

"LOSE THE BABY?!?! AFTER ALL WE WENT THROUGH TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT?!" Draco growled again.

Amiah had already made her way to Mira. "Please, you two... calm down."

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:19 am

Miranda huffed when she could see Hika clearly, "Please... You both need to rest, we'll be fine, I promise." She couldn't let go of Owen's hand as she laid there. How could people be so cruel?

"But Mira... You came for me, how can I just leave you to go be comfortable in there again? Mira..."

Miranda was about to pass out, she hoped that Owen could stay awake and that it was only a little pain that would bother him. "It's okay..."

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:24 am

"M-Mir.."Owen frowned. "S-Stay awake, honey." He croaked, nudging her some. "S-Sorry..."

Owen's vision was becoming fuzzy, and he tried to blink it away. He knew passing out was preferable, but that was giving up, wasn't it?

Draco was stomping angrily in place, and Amiah frowned at him. "Go get some healers and bring them here now. Hika, you lay down right there and don't move!"

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:27 am

Miranda woke up a little and looked at Owen, "Am I hurting you...? I am so sorry..." She was frustrated by what was happening. Finally Draco ran off and Hika laid down. She wasn't about to leave Miranda alone.

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:33 am

"Don't worry about that love... it's fine." He smiled a little bit, squeezing her hand some. "I love you."

"You both need to stop worrying about each other. You will both be fine." Amiah sighed, pressing her hands to Mira's stomach. "And the babies will be fine too."

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:39 am

Miranda zoned out when she heard that, her mind was beginning to process the words.

"Babies? Really...?" She was shocked, two? Was it two? Immediately, she felt more at ease than before.

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:47 am

"Yes, there are two, and they are both healthy... they were just kicking you really hard." Amiah smiled. "It'll be fine..." She wasn't removing her hands from Mira though, even as she said the babies would be fine. "Yep, happy and healthy twins!"

"That's... great." Owen smiled a little. He was feeling very weak.

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:49 am

Miranda nodded and looked at Owen, "Please lay down..."

Draco returned with the healers, he still seemed to be very angry though and his glare was unpleasant.

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:53 am

"I will be watching you... healers, so if you hurt my two-legs, I will eat you." Draco frowned and laid down beside Hika. "And I will chew you slowly."

Owen laid down again and frowned. "Laying is more uncomfortable than sitting."

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 11:58 am

Miranda frowned, "I am sorry... I just thought..." She stopped and squeezed his hand, the healers were working already. Owen had lost a lot of blood, he was very weak.

The next morning, Miranda found herself in bed with him. He was still badly bruised and she could feel his aches. She climbed out of bed and decided to get him breakfast before visiting Hika again. She wanted him with her though, she refused to leave him on his own.

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 12:01 pm

Owen awoke to a slight nudge, and he turned to see Mira standing by the bed with wonderfully smelling breakfast. "Good morning, beautiful..." He smiled a little to her. She was always beautiful to him... even with her black eye.

**Ikuar** Thu Sep 13, 2012 12:04 pm

Miranda say down to eat with him, "Good morning, I know we both want to be here for Draco and Hika... But I think we should go home soon." She helped him take the bowl of stew and a bread roll from the tray. "Don't you think?"

**Jayrin** Thu Sep 13, 2012 12:07 pm

"I agree..." He frowned some and ate some of the soup. "I hate to have to leave, but I don't want you to get hurt any worse... and I think we're stressing out Hika a bit too much by being here."
