My my, how things CHANGE

“I think.. I think I want you forever Othello, and I still think that what Scorpion did was wrong, I can not and will not ever do that to Sibelle”

The girl froze, feeling like she was fighting against time itself. If she could only go back to where they once stood, back before she had gone off and let her crazy self go. Being a mother had mellowed her out like she couldn't imagine, but could the children she have now be different if they were from him? She didn't regret having her Mercy and Revenge, only regretted them growing apart and for her to allow them to leave her side. Her ears fell flat against her skull, she really felt like she was being torn apart. She couldn't break up a family, she knew more than he knew how it felt. It was not something that she would ever wish on others, nor inflict on them. Her purple gaze fell from him, that last piece of her heart breaking for him. She couldn't do this. She couldn't watch him suffer every day because he chose her. A shuttering sigh came from her maw as the woman took a few steps.  "I can't Crucifix... I can't ask you to break apart your family."

Thoughts of Scorpion clouded her mind, drawing her away from the scene that laid out in front of her. She knew that he cared for her, even if he slept with others. She knew that it wasn't right, and that she deserved better. That is why they split apart, why they were apart more often than they were together. This is why she had come to seek out Crucifix, to see an old friend. She felt so alone in this world, and that everyone was leaving her side. Was she not good enough? Did she not love them all enough? The bitter sting of tears tore at her eyes, making her shake her head back and forth in short bursts. As much as she longed for this to work out, she just would not allow herself to split his family apart. "Go back to your family, spend some time with them. I would hate for you to lose them like I lost mine." She whispered, eyes finally rising up to meet his own gaze. Yes, once more they would need to say goodbye. Her heart pulled against her as the breath rushed out of her lungs. She didn't want to part like this, not after everything that had happened on this night.

It was then that a howl rang out for her, desperate and full of pain. Othello's whole body shot up, her attention pulling across her shoulder. Scorpion? He was in trouble, she had never heard his voice sound like that before. Wide eyes turned towards Cru, taking a few more steps back. "I need to go... But I will be back to visit Crucifix. I promise, I will not keep us apart for long." She promised. Pushing herself forward she nuzzled into his cheek. "I love you." Her lips brushed against his ear, wet nose pressing against it softly. She would return, but she could not ignore a call like that. He was in pain, in trouble, and her soul cried out to him. She had to go, she needed to. As much as she wanted to stay, as much as her heart yearned for him, Scorpion needed her. She would not leave him in his time of need. Taking one last lingering look at the silver boy, she offered one soft smile. As her head turned, her wings tore, heart shatters, and tears fell. But this was not their final farewell, she would be back. That was a promise.
