Breaking The Peace Are we okay?
“I’ve got you, my love” he whispered into my ear as he draped my around his shoulders. He helped guide me home to the bathroom. We were both full of dirt and some blood from the times we were hurt. All our injuries had already healed, but we were still worn out. If only our stamina could heal as well. He helped me get undressed and put me in a nice hot bath that he drew up for me. He hopped in behind me. I laid my head back against his chest, closing my eyes and just listening to his heart beat. He grabbed the soap and helped wash my back gently massaging it as he did. He washed my hair for me as well. I let myself relax into him as he did. I loved moments like these with him. We’ve had so many years together, but I never tire of these moments. I never tire of him, he’s my reason for being. He’s what has helped me not lose my mind after so many years. It’s scary not knowing if you will ever die, knowing there is an infinite number of years left to live. I couldn’t ima

I was so tired from last night. I didn't want to get up early again and train again. I could still feel a tinge of last night's headache as I rubbed my temples. The light that came in through the window was tinted a light blue as the sun rose from the night sky. "Good morning" Lucas said, seeing my eyes open. "We got breakfast handled already, why don't you rest a little more?" He offered. I nodded knowing I would need that extra hour today. "I love you. Thank you" I told him, closing my eyes again. He planted a kiss on my head and I heard him leave and close the door behind him. I slept for that extra hour and it helped some but I could have honestly used like 4 more hours. I dragged myself off the bed and got dressed. I knew today would be more of a headache. We didn’t finish with the mental abilities yesterday so they were first up this morning. I wanted to curse myself for wanting to test everyone's ability but I really needed to know what we were working with. Ye

Jason I finally sat down after helping shuttle more specials to the tunnels. It was starting to get really crowded here and more specials were arriving by the day. I don’t think Astrid really thought about the amount of specials that would be coming to us. The tunnels were cramped, humid, and dim. They were definitely meant to be more of a temporary thing than a permanent one. I wasn’t sure what Astrid’s plan was, but I hoped that she would get it together soon.“Jason, you have a minute?” Liz was standing over me with a clipboard. Probably another problem for me to try to solve.“Yeah, for you I always have a minute. What can I do for you?” I smiled. Liz had become part of our inner circle in just a day.

JasonWe arrived back at the tunnels to everyone crowding around something. I couldn't tell what it was. I pushed my way past to get to the center and there she was. Her dark raven hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. She was wearing black combat boots with a pair of black satin pants and a black loose tank top. She had brought Lucas who was also sporting combat boots, although his were brown. He had tan loose pants and a white wifebeater. They had finally arrived. "I am truly sorry for the conditions in which you have been living these past couple of days. I should have done better and prepared better for you all. I will correct that today." Astrid addressed everyone. "If you entered the wrong portal and are wanting to fight please stay here with Lana. I shall create a portal here in the tunnels for you all to go to Mexico. For everyone else Lucas and I will be creating a better place for you to stay, but we will have to move from Spain as we need a larger undetectable area. Ple

Jason "How many powers do you really have?" I asked right off the bat. She smiled, as she started to pick at some grass. "I honestly have lost count. It changes every year or so. Sometimes it's something so small I don't notice it. I'd say a good hundred or so" she explained. A 'good hundred' ran around in my mind for a while. That 'good hundred' wasn't even an accurate number. "How do you have so many? Is it because of how old you are?" I wanted to understand how she came to be like this. "Partly" She said, picking a long blade of grass and tearing it in half down the middle. "When I first manifested I was 12 and I had one ability. Every year until I turned 28 I would get a new one. After that it would happen every other year, eventually every decade, or so. I think I get one every century now. I honestly am unsure anymore." She added throwing the pieces of grass she had torn. "What was that first ability?" Maybe that first one was what gave her the ability to have more? "Heal

Lucas I rushed into the tunnels, hoping maybe she was in there. I didn't figure she went back to Mexico without me. I needed to find her. I wanted, no I needed, to comfort her, to make her forget it all. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and never let go. I knew how much that memory hurts her, it's been a millenia and it still affects her so badly. These tunnels felt like a maze, and with every turn I made I felt like I would never find her. I was growing desperate and panic started to sink in. I took a right turn and saw a door slightly cracked in the distance. I ran towards it hoping maybe she would be in there. "Astrid" I called, as I pushed open the door only to find a girl with sandy blonde hair. She had her back turned to the door and quickly turned when she saw me. Her hazel eyes met mine in confusion. "Nope, not Astrid," she smiled. Her tone was calm even though I had just barged into her room. "I'm sorry" I could feel my cheeks flush with

Lucas When we were done she looked at me, running her fingers through my bare chest. She looked up at me, and it felt like I was back in the woods with her, seeing her for the first time. I could get lost in her eyes for years. "What are you thinking about?" I asked, generally curious. Usually after relieving these memories she would cry herself to sleep and have that nightmare and I would be with her through it all. Today was different, she was different. "You" She said it as if it should be so obvious. "Oh really? What about me?" I smiled at her and she blushed some. "How amazing you are. I have taken you for granted Lucas." She looked down at her fingers that were tracing images on my stomach. She seemed ashamed. "No you haven't Astrid. Even if you did, I don't care. You're mine, always have and always will be no matter what you do." I meant those words. No matter how badly she hurt me I would never leave her. "I hurt you Lucas and I can't seem to forgive myself for that. Yo

AstridI awoke feeling as if a heavy weight had finally been relieved from my chest. I felt light and refreshed. I was still in Lucas arms, his light snores feeling the room. I trailed kisses from his bare chest to his chin until he opened his eyes. The smile he gives me always melts my heart."We need to get going" I told him, tapping his chin with my index finger. "I'm ready when you are" His golden hair was quite a mess making him look even more handsome. He ran his fingers through it trying to put it back in place. Every time his hair would cover his face it would remind me he was a twin. They were identical but they were very similar. We both got up and got dressed. We told everyone goodbye and since they wouldn't need to pick people up from the airport anymore I had Whisper come back with us. She needed to be with her husband. I wouldn't separate them again. We stepped through the portal to find everyone ready to go. Libby had kept the place running with Shawn, Micheal and Tr

Breaking The Peace Preparing for battle
Being with Micheal was so different. Even though this was our first time having sex he knew exactly what I wanted the enitre time. He touched me just right and although I found the edging irritating at first, I was glad he did it. I haven't felt an orgasm that intense in years. Tomorrow we would be heading out on a very dangerous mission. I wished that Lucas and Lana could join us, but I know it would probably hurt more than help. We'd be distractions to one another. A ball of nerves started to build in my stomach as I thought of everything that could go wrong. This was a dangerous mission and none of us knew what exactly was inside that camp. It's obvious that they're hiding something but I haven't a clue what it could be. I just hope that we're able to come out of it unscathed. The device Libby made gave me some peace of mind. I just know that I can't rely solely on it. I need a back up plan in case things go wrong. "Stop worrying." Micheal said, placing his index finger on my f
Breaking The Peace Wish come true
MichealI had been scared of going to sleep here lately. I keep thinking that when I wake up it will have all been a dream. It feels like a dream. She's finally mine and I still can't believe it. I woke up beside her again, and her beautiful face resting on my arm. I woke her up knowing she wouldn't want to waste the day. We decided to run simulations today with everyone. It would be Shawn, Libby, Whisper, Astrid, Alfie, myself and Tristan. I didn't want Tristan to come. The way he has been acting with Astrid didn't bode well for me. He was being too cruel. I was excited to work with everyone again but also worried. We hadn't fought with one another in a while and I was worried we would all clash. We are all used to being the dominant one in a fight and here we were about to have to help one another. We all gathered in the simulation area and I couldn't feel the uncertainty radiating from everyone. Astrid came in after me causing a calming air to pass through us all. She breathed co

I headed outside to start training soldiers. It had been a few days since I trained anyone and I wanted to see how much everyone has improved. I sparred with a few people and was impressed with how much they had grown in ability. Shawn and Micheal had been training them well. I was going to add Alfie to our mission. He was great at fighting physically and with his ability. He had also done really well on our last mission.Once the sun started to set I stopped sparring and headed back to take a shower again. When I entered our place, I saw Micheal sitting down looking at his phone. He was playing with his lip piercing again, something was making him worry. He looked up at me, he seemed a bit sad when he saw me. He sighed, getting up from the couch and coming towards me. "I let you down. Ben hasn't answered me at all. I am actually a bit worried about him." He admitted. "You didn't let me down" I comforted him. "How about we go together and pay him a visit? We'll ask in person. Libby
Breaking The Peace Back To Reality
AstridI watched Lana leave with Lucas and take a piece of my heart with them. I knew what I was doing was right, but it was killing me. I hadn't flipped the switch yet. I wanted to mourn my relationship for one night before I did. I couldn't believe this was how it ended. We weren't meant to be all this time, but that doesn't mean that we didn't fall madly in love. I know that if we keep our marriage going that it would only continue to hurt us. I knew the moment I saw that string tie around my pinky and connect me to Micheal that I would just keep hurting Lucas and Micheal. I couldn't keep doing that. I had to say goodbye to the wonderful, caring man that I called my husband. My heart was breaking and I let it all out the moment Lucas and Lana stepped out of the front door. I dropped to the floor sobbing, holding my chest in pain. Micheal came out of my room and picked me up. "I am sorry" I told him, not just for having to see me cry over Lucas, but also because he had been right
Breaking The Peace Soulmates
I sat there a while, just letting the guilt crash in. I couldn't believe what I had just done. I was the one that initiated it and yet I didn't understand why I did it. It was like something came over me and just wanted Lana right then and there. No second thoughts. I cursed myself for being so stupid. For just letting that odd emotion take me over. I laid back in the bed staring at the ceiling again. I hoped that Astrid could forgive me, but I doubted she would after the fit I threw. I wanted to just beat myself senseless but knew that would do no good. There was a knock on my door then. "Come in," I yelled. It was Lana again. I sat up, my heart started to race again. I had always thought Lana was beautiful, but I thought it more so now. She seemed really down, her eyes wouldn't meet mine as she hung her head. "Lucas" she started "it's her birthday"My heart sank. How could I forget what day it was? I threw a fit and left her the night before and then kissed her best friend on he
Breaking The Peace Lucas
It took everything in me not to go back to Astrid right away. Not to take the words I said back. I know I'm being selfish but she was being selfish too. This can't keep happening. I'm not a jealous man, but it's different with Michael. I don't understand why she can't send him away. Why is she choosing to keep him around and make our problems worse? Lana made room for me in her house with Jason. They looked surprised to see. I let Lana know what was happening, but I didn't wanna share with Jason. I know he's a good kid but I don't know him that well to tell him all my marital problems. Lana seemed to understand and she tried not to pry too much. I liked living with Lana these past few years. She was kind and understanding and very caring. She and I got closer these past 5 years, so it felt easy to just be back with her. Sleep never came to me last night. I had stayed up full of worry, wondering why Astrid still hadn't come to get me. Had she chosen Micheal? The worry only ate at m
Breaking The Peace Happy Birthday To Me
After a few hours my eyes couldn't shed any more tears. I reached out to Lana instead. "Did Lucas make his way to you?" I asked her. "Yeah he's here. He arrived late last night. He's been pretty depressed. What happened?" Her tone was full of concern but also some curiosity. "He asked me to pick between him and Micheal and for some reason my body refused to" I knew I could be honest with Lana. She was the closest thing to a sister to me. I also knew she wouldn't judge me. "I am sorry Astrid" She sounded sad for me. "I am here for you and him. Want me to drive him crazy so he just races home to you?" She joked. "Wouldn't that be nice" I smirked slightly, a pain in my chest resurfacing. "Just keep an eye on him for me please?" "Of course, don't worry. I've got him covered over here. Oh one more piece of news. Liz and Jason have started a little relationship. It's very cute. I'll try to keep Lucas away from it. I am sure he doesn't need a budding romance in front of him while he's
Breaking The Peace An Ultimatum
AstridI opened the door to Micheal's room to find Lucas right against it. He had been picking at his fingers with anxiety. I felt bad for having been in a locked room with Micheal for so long. What was really eating at me was that those visions were my fault in a way. "What happened?" Lucas asked as he got up. I walked him towards our room before answering. Hoping Micheal wouldn't hear me. "He had another vision" before I could finish telling Lucas everything, he had turned around running towards Micheals room. My heart almost raced out of my chest as I ran after him. I knew what was about to happen and I wanted desperately to stop it. I knew Micheal was in no state of mind to fight Lucas or to hear any cruel words. I also knew Lucas was in no state to hear the things that Micheal might share with him. I understood why Lucas was mad but I also understood why Micheal was so sad. I was finding it harder and harder to pick a side and stay with it. I could empathize with both my husba
Breaking The Peace The Path Not Taken
I must have fallen asleep as a knock at my door awoke me to a dark room. I got up, and made my way to the door as I rubbed my eyes awake. I cracked my door not really wanting anyone to come in. It was Astrid, she was staring up at me curiously. I looked around and saw that she was alone. She was alone, at my door, at night. Something snapped in me then and I grabbed her wrist and quickly pulled her into my room. Before she could say anything or deny me I pressed my lips against hers. I wanted her desperately and I continued the kiss, parting her lips with my tongue. She didn't pull away, she didn't resist. She placed her hands on the back of my head pushing me into her more. She grabbed fistfuls of my hair as we continued to kiss. She pressed her chest against mine and I lifted one of her legs around my waist as I held onto her thigh. She sucked on my lower lip making me let out a soft moan. Our desires were feeding into each other. I slipped my hand up her shirt, gently squeezing
