Tranquility

Lestat lye on the ground motionless as everything begins to blur in front of his eyes. His bright emerald green eyes beginning to fade as well. They darkened with each passing minute. He was unable to find the strength to get up and either finish this or even walk away. Was he about to die? He didn't know what to tell himself. He had no idea actually what was even happening. But as he lye there on the ground, hopeful, in pain, tired, and unable to catch himself and keep himself from falling back into the abyss he was born in, he thought of Flayace, his girlfriend. He hoped dearly that she was okay. He hoped that she was long gone from this location and most of all, he hoped that she was unharmed by anything that had happened here today. Especially not harmed by his own hand. He would never be able to forgive himself, let alone ever use his powers again for anything period.

"What's happening..." He said with little strength in his voice but with every bit of emotion he felt. "Is this it...I-It can't be... He was unable to finish talking to himself within his own mind as he was interrupted by blurred speech. He couldn't see anything really. he was unable to perceive what was in front of his face. But he continuously filtered through all of the sounds he heard. Everything seemed loud to him, as if everything had been amplified. "Who.." He couldn't help but instantly realize that it was Flayace over him. With that in mind, he kept himself from the deep dark whole that was beginning to consume him, he had no real choice. What if something were to happen to her.

With every little ounce of everything he had, he pulled together his vision enough to see her face. It was beautiful but gleaming from all the tears that had been flowing from her eyes as if they were streams of emotion. "I'm proud of you Lestat.... Let's just go back okay? And we can go back to the cafe and have another date." She said. Lestat was smiling on the inside when he heard this but was unable to move his jaw to speak. He though to himself though, he was able to use his mind with hers. He was unable to do so at first. But in the process of trying to do so, he triggered something that he forgot up until now...

~Back at the lake, Lestat and Flayace first met. It was a beautiful day, everything was perfect but not as perfect as the end of the night would be. The sun was setting and Lestat was being his usual depressed and vengeful self. He hated everything crossed him until a creature dawning long pink hair and a smile that would surely brighten up anyone's day. Lestat was unsuspecting of what he was getting into by talking to her really now. It was really something different that he would never be able to get rid of, not like he would want to anyways in the future.

After which, they met and got acquainted, Lestat was able to go through Flayace's mind for something that she figured may help her. Better control or use of her emotions. Lestat failed to help her in such a situation but did come across something valuable. Hidden behind everything, memories, emotions, scars, and even lost tears, Lestat saw a potential in her. Something rather different. It was an ability that he could not find the actual use of but he would be able unlock it given the right opportunity and the right circumstances but he decided to leave it be and keep it natural for the time being.~

Coming out of his flash back, he heard Flayace once again. "Thank you for protecting me, I need you here so you can keep doing that! So stop playing around!" She said with tears falling from her face to Lestat's. He couldn't feel them though, he was numb in every part of his body. At this point, he was even unable to feel pain. "Get up silly! I need you!" She exclaimed which snapped Lestat's mind completely. His emotions sky rocketed from the remark that she had just made. It was sad. His mind connected to hers almost instantly as she said this and she could hear and feel everything that Lestat had in his own head. He spoke, "I need you to leave before he gets up and does something else, Flayace. Please leave, I don't want you to share my stupidity and end up with my same fate." he had no idea what would happen after he said that though so he wasted no time getting into her mind, it was there.

Within her mind, he found it. He found her hidden potentially and exerted his emotional force on it, he knew that only emotion would help it emerge but she would have to feel such emotion. Lestat brought this to the surface of her own mind but only could she truly use it if she felt for it herself. Suddenly, what Lestat feared happened. Bones, bones came from behind Flayace and if they were deflected they would kill bother her and Lestat and all he could think about was saving her. "Flayace...Move! Lestat managed to send to her mind. His own life didn't even peer through his mind, it was romantic in a way how he cared for and valued her existence before his own. He was unable to move but he was definitely able to use his own mind. Using this cranium of his, he lifted the metal plates that he used as armor before and placed them together as faced as possible. In doing so, they formed behind Flayace's body and stopped the Bones breaking them at the tip almost instantly due to the force behind the bones and the position of the metal. But they only stopped about an inch or to behind Flayace's head and body. The crack and crash of this was loud, louder than one could handle without being at least startled and in this case, scared for their life.

With that being said, who knows what Flayace will have done in that moment of trying truth. One thing is for sure, if no one dies from this, most will walk out seriously injured being compare.

Laying there on his chest, she was fully expecting the man to come back to them, wanting to finish off Lestat for what he had done. She wouldn't let that happen, she wouldn't let him get close to Lestat, even if it meant her own life in the process. He had already done more for her then she could have ever done for herself. He was strong, and she wasn't. He deserved to live if it came down to that. Snapping back into the real world, she laughed happily at the sound of Lestat's voice in her head. Happy tears flooded her face as she grabbed at him, but those tears soon turned back into worry of their situation. "No, no!" She proclaimed to him as he suggested that she should leave him. "Are you blind? I would never leave you to die! You mean everything to me and I'm not giving that up because of some jerk!" She protested as she tried to bury her tears into his chest. "I'll stay here and die with you. You're everything that I want and need." She said, as she knew that she didn't want to have to live without him.

Even though they hadn't known each other for very long, she felt as if he was the only person that truly mattered to her, that she would do anything for. As she heard the footsteps of the man coming back for the final blow, Flayace couldn't move a muscle. She knew that she would stay glued to Lestat no matter what. She didn't dare turn her head, and decided that closing her eyes would be a lot better if he was going to kill them both right then and there. Something stopped her from thinking like that though, something deep inside her, inside her mind. Had Lestat found something inside of her, some hidden secret that even she didn't know about? As the thoughts and concept of this new found idea filled her mind, it all made sense to her. Her full potential had been unlocked. As she heard him demanding her to move, she shook her head into his chest back and forth making a no. She wasn't going to let him die, this was the time were he had to protect him.

Opening her eyes as she heard a sound behind her, it seemed that Lestat had used the last of his strength to form some type of barrier around the two of them, protecting them both from harm's way. Smiling a bit, as the tears slowed down, she knew what she had to do. Her new power had almost been completely mapped out to her in her mind, and she had memorized it in a matter of seconds. Lifting her head up from his chest, she moved her head towards his. Smiling even brighter at him, as a single tear fell on his face, she mouthed the words 'thank you' to him before closing her eyes and kissing him for the first time. Looking as far off as she could to her left, she could see the grounds of the school. Concentrating on the area, a shot of energy surged through her as she quickly opened her eyes.

Releasing Lestat from her lips, she looked at the ground around them, then the trees. Then the bright and shiny school at wasn't far away. Smiling as tears started to from in her eyes, she leaned back down to give her perfect boyfriend another short kiss. "We did it. You did it." She said as she loomed over him. "I can't-" She was about to continue to talk before she remembered the state that he was in. Quickly getting up, she looked around to see if there was another else around. To their luck, they were fairly close to the courtyard and its surrounding area. Looking back down at him and nodded and said something reassuring to him. "I'll be right back I promise I'm getting help for you. I'm not going to let you die so hang in there." With that she ran off in the direction of the courtyard.

Running as fast as she could, she knew that she had to be quick. As she reached the courtyard, thankfully she was asked by a passing by teacher if she was okay. "No, no my boyfriend is hurt and needs medical attention, he can't even move." With that, the teacher didn't say another word, seeing as her face was filled with stray tears, the teacher called an ambulance over to their location. As she quickly showed the teacher his location, she reported back in to him, even though she wasn't sure if he could even hear her. "See? I got help sweety. You're going to be okay." She again kneeled down beside him as she held back her tears. "I'm protecting you just like you did for me." With that, she once again rested her head on his chest, before saying one last thing. "I will always protect you Lestat." She then slowly closed her eyes as she awaited for help to bring her night in shining armour back to life.
