School For Magical Creatures

Robyn

I looked at the groun when he spoke.

"Did you love him?" He asked.

There was silence, it's like I wasn't even there. "I dunno. We had plans, but they were his plans, not mine. He listened to me, he wasn't a bad.... boyfriend but he wasn't for me."

"Who was he for then?"

"I don't know." I said again.

"Robyn please. Please just give me something, why did you two mate? What were the plans why did they change? Talk to me. Tell me." He said, his voice broke at the end and I knew that it killed him.

"Do you want the truth?" I asked.

"Yes!" He gasped.

"We were going to get married. We Did get married but we told each other we only be married as long as his parents had lived, he told me he didn't love me, i told him I didn't love him. His parents made a life for us, they gave us money they gave us a house. But the catch was- oh God I can't do this." I said starting to walk away.

Alex:

I grabbed her arm. "Robyn...I just turned you into a dragon. I don't know what it's like for werecats, but for dragons, we mate for life. One dragon. when one dies, the other dies because we can't live without our other half. The only way to get rid of them is for both to voluntarily give each other up. You at least owe me the truth after all I've gone through for you...for us. Please, Robyn. don't make me beg."

Robyn

"I don't think I can-"

"Damnit Robyn!" He didn't yell it, he was hurting and me not telling him only made it 10X worse.

"I-I-I... I'm sorry I just can't, don't make me go back." I said.

"If we don't have trust we can't have anything." He put it softly.

"I know I know and I'm sorry." I shook my head.

"Just.... please do it..... for me?" He said.

AH! Damnit! How the hell am I going to turn it down? He'd think I didn't love.

"If I loved you, I would, but if YOU loved me.... I wouldn't have to." I said.

Alex:

"Are you implying that you don't love me?"

"No! I was just-"

"Robyn...I can't stand not knowing. It's killing me. I love you. I do. I trust you. Do you trust me? do you care that everything you're keeping from me is hurting me more than you could possibly imagine?" I looked at her pointedly. "Please...'I said softly, weakly.

Robyn

I closed my eyes turned away, I looked down at the ground and swallowed the frog in my throat.

"His parents..... Even my parents, especially my parents. They wanted........ Grandchildren. They put so much pressure on us about it, they sent gifts for a little boy or a little girl, both. Syther and I... tried, we did. But nothing ever happened. My parents were so upset, at me. He and I were kind of relieved. Very very realived. We left each other and that's it." There was something else, but I really really couldn't say.

He was stunned in silence. I didn't know what he was feeling and right now I knew I had no right to look into his thoughs or try to feel that he was feeling.

"Say something." I said.

Alex:

I sighed. "I understand. My parents want grandchildren too...but..." I shook my head. "Is that it? Is that everything?" I asked softly.

she gulped and nodded. "Okay...'I tried not to picture him touching her. "if that's it, then let's not talk about it again, okay? I understad. It's alright. I won't say that I don't care, because I do, but we can put it behind us. I know you don't want to think about it anymoe. So...let's forget it. Okay?"

Robyn

"I think..... that would be best." I said, trying to avoid eye contact.

[Syther Vertigo]

"Awww! That was the best act you've ever done my dear Robyn! You and I both know the only reason we split was because they sent me away." I grinned the crooked grin she used to love. "I think it's adorable that you made all that up for him to ease the pain. You always were quick on your feet when under pressure like that."

I glided over to her and breathed deeply, but not like a sigh. "I still love you, you know... and I had other reasons for coming here, not just Rous. Truthfully, I didn't think I'd see you again after they told me I had to finish school far away, and so, the only way I thought I could let you go without making it so hard was to lie and say that I didn't love you anymore. But all that was just a lie, I am still as in love with you as when our parents first introduced us." I could see tears pushing at her eyes, Robyn looked away from the two of us.

Kaia-

"Stop it guys." I said, keeping my eyes down. I looked to Robyn, watched her fight tears. I walked over to her and just put my hand on her shoulder, "You're hurting her."

I led her away, the only thing i could really think of to do.

Robyn

"No." Syther said, "I want her to admit it."

"Yeah? And I'd like to normal like a regular teenager but that's not going to happen anytime soon." Kaia said.

"Robyn I never left you you left me, we're still married."

"No we're not!" I screamed.

"Yes we are, and I'm going to take you home, were you belong. With ME." He said.

"No! I'm not going anywhere with you." glared at him.

"Will see who will be the judge of that." He said. "Don't you dare tell anymore lies."

Alex:

I growled. "Back off Sythe, or whatever the hell your name is. Whatever you had, it's over now. Robyn is mine. So...just leave her alone. Okay?!" I wanted to kill him! Right there and then.

I looked at Kaia and thanked her silently. I was being torn inside though. I wanted to hold Robyn, to tell her it would be okay. "I love you. I am so glad your mine. It doesn't matter what happened. I'll put it all behind me. Just as long as I can have you." I told Robyn in her mind, looking desperately at her retreating figure.

[Syther Vertigo]

I cringed away from her and took a few steps away, I was about ready to leave. "Fine, Robyn. I'll leave, is that really what you want?" she nodded, still glaring.

"You want to know something else?" I pressed, a lump of sadness making its way to my throat. "I thought I would see you again when I got back from the school. So... so since I knew that we couldn't have a child, I-I..."

"You what?" she snapped.

I shoved my hands in my pocket and looked at my feet as the words came out in quiet whispers, "I-I... I adopted, but it turned out that you weren't there. They told me you came here, to go to school, too. So, I thought that I could tell you, see your face, hear your voice, bring you back to me. But, since-since you really don't want to come back with me, I'll-I'll just tell your daughter that mommy didn't want to come home." I bit my lip. "I'll tell her that you couldn't make it and that you love her, I'm sure she'll forgive me later on in life when I finally tell her the truth."

"Y-y-you're lying!" Robyn accused, the words chocking in her voice.

I cringed again, "I'm afraid I'm not, I swear. And if you'd like to know, her name is Yvonne," there was silence for a few beats. "I'll leave now, I'm sorry I bothered to come..."

Alex:

I felt my mouth hit the floor. I would never forgive myself if I let him walk away if he was truly who she wanted. "Syth, look,...let's just...talk? Okay? No pressure...nothing. Just...talk."

I looked at Robyn. "What do you want? Do you want to go with him...for him? do you love him? Robyn...I'm not heartless. I'll willingly give you up if it's him you want." I looked at her. "I'm not standing in your way, Robyn. Choose with your heart, not your mind."

Robyn

When was I going to learn to shut the hell up?

"You lying cheating son of a-!"

"That's enough." Kaia said.

"You did, your lying. You couldn't have that's impossible, I never sighed...." I looked up at his face which seem liked millions of paces away when it was almost right infront of me. "You sighed for me." I said.

"You said you wanted a baby." Syther growled.

"I never said adopt without my permission!!!" I said shaking with anger, terror, I was scared. I took in a deep breath. "How old is she, when do you do it?"

"She six months."

I laughed, it was a sarcastic laugh. "great, GREAT!" I said. "How long ago did you do it?"

"I did it a month ago. I needed more than just a damn ring Robyn I wanted to feel."

I slapped him, hard, the slap made his cheek turn red. The slap was loud it vibrated through my hand.

"You don't feel. You don't care about me, you just wanted to tie me into a marrage I never wanted. So don't give me that crap theat we were ever something MORE because... we weren't."

[Syther Vertigo]

"I brought the baby with me," I tried softly, "But I left it in the care of a daycare until we--I mean, I was about to leave." I didn't bother to touch my cheek, I could feel the warmth enough right now. "Do want to at least see it?" I whispered, daring to glance up at her despite the tears that were now pushing at my eyes.
