Jace closes his eyes and tightens his grip around his wife, inhaling her hair. I flash a smile and pause touching his hair for a moment to touch mine. It's not as soft. I go back to running my hand through his.
I'm never what I like I'm double sided And I just can't hide I kind of like it When I make you cry 'Cause I'm twisted up, twisted up Inside
Jace falls asleep almost immediately and his wife is close to it. I creep out of the room and head downstairs, finding the twins yanking at each other's limbs and hair. Sighing, I separate the two and create an orb of teal light to keep them occupied.

We're in the middle of a meadow, Logan and Riley almost full grown. Alyx appears at my side and I stand, worried.
'You have to leave,' he says rushed, 'You and Rayah. They will not approve of you being here. They will take it out on the twins. I saw this. You have five minutes.'
I look at Rayah, squeezing her hand.
'What will happen?' I ask my brother, 'When we leave, what will happen?'
'I won't leave them, just as I never left you,' he promises, 'They can hold their own, but I will not leave them. You must leave. There is no time to explain.'

Alyx explains about the twins and I swallow, walking to them. I take one arm on one of their shoulder and Sigh.
'You can do this-' I see people coming, 'You can do it, I promise--' I get pulled away by Jace and look away, 'You can do it!' I yelled after them, Tears run down my cheeks and I look back at them for a split second.
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
...The three figures draw their swords, Logan Draws his And Riley does the same. 'Are you prepared?' The older man asks, a cloak covering his hidden face. Logan nods, 'Yes, Indeed we are.' He sighs, making the first swing, Riley coming soon after...
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
...The battle seems well matched before one of the figures knocks down Riley. Alyx swears and almost reveals himself before Logan saves his sister and causes one of the figures to disappear.
'No, do what I taught you,' Alyx whispers, 'Use the gift inherited from your father. I swear, Logan, if you do not do this... As I taught you, Logan. As I taught you. You know the risks.'

...Logan takes a deep breath a blue slowly starts at his fingertips, Riley quickly stands and vines curl around the men's ankles, tripping them for her brothers advantage. The light in his hand grows larger and larger until he decides to let it out...
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!
...The blue light explodes from him, blinding the figures and sending a gust of energy their way. Alyx bolts, disintegrating just as Logan does. He jumps up as Logan disappears, slamming his soul into the barely there body to keep Logan grounded. Excruciating pain shoots in both of their heads, blinding them temporarily. When Alyx can see again, he is inside of Logan, something I'd only heard of happening to the elders back home.
'Do it,' he whispers from inside, 'Now."
