The Happy Couple (Tag: Alidia and Rahim) rated M

(OOC: I'd forgotten about that one, so yes I'd like to do that one.) 

Wilhelm chuckled at her reaction to his gifts to her.  He was happy to have returned her book to her.  And he didn't seem surprised that Dora liked 'Beauty and the Beast.'  He loved that about her.
Wait, loved?  As he thought it over, he found that it was the truth.  He didn't just love that about her, he loved her.

((OCC: wicked can't wait.))

Dora reached out her hand but shyly pulled it back. "What am I thinking? I'm engaged. But Wilhelm is so kind and sweet." Dora thought to herself. "Plus it feels like we've met before like in a dream. That's it I'm going to risk it all..." Dora leaned forward and kissed Wilhelm on the lips. "Please don't pull back." she silently pray as she caressed his cheeks. The kiss tasted like chocolate strawberries.  

Wilhelm had been thinking of giving Dora a kiss, just to see how she would react.  However, the decision was made for him when she kissed him instead.  It was delightful.
As the kiss progressed, it felt like memories that had been repressed suddenly came to the surface.  He saw himself and her, together.  They behaved like they belonged together.
"I remember." he said at last, breathlessly.

((OCC: on my ipod at the moment so takes forever to post)) Dora looked at him with curiosity "What? Remember? I'm confused. Wilhelm?" Then she had a small flicker as she looked at the cup. "Baelfire?" she whispered. "That was your name...I think..." Dora was still so confused. 

"It was.  That was my name once...Cora." Wilhelm told her.  He reached out to caress her face, just wanting to feel her skin.
"I love you." he whispered before he kissed her.  This kiss was filled with tenderness and affection.  He loved her, and he didn't want to let her go.

Then Cora remembered everything. "We were about to read a story by the fireplace and Morgan." she said when they took a breath. "Baelfire....my dear Baelfire...I love you...I don't wanna leave you again..." she held herself close to him. 

"You won't lose me again.  Nothing's going to take me away from you this time, Cora.  I love you so very much." Baelfire told her as he hugged her back.  His very spirit felt lighter.

Then out of nowhere like magic Joe appeared but it was Morgan. Cora gasped. "Please no...leave us alone...we are were meant to be..." Morgan laughed. "Cora please enough...I'm sick of happy endings like the books you read...but this one wont have a happy ending. Since you both are in the 21st century you can't use magic. But since I'm here with this," she held out a dart "I can kill you both properly...but I think Baelfire would like seeing his beloved die first..." She threw the poisonous dart and it hit Cora's heart. Cora gasped for air. "Baelfire..." she gasped as she landed in his arms. "it's like Romeo and Juliet...but you see it and the poison is quick...I feel it...one more kiss..." she caressed his cheeks. 

Not wanting to disappoint his dear Cora, Baelfire kissed her.  It was just like before, except that he couldn't save her this time.  So, he was willing to accept death with grace.
"It doesn't matter if you kill us.  By doing so, we still win.  You can't separate us in the afterlife." Baelfire told Morgan.

Morgan just laughed. "I only care about this life...and now that I've destroy your beloved...it's your turn..." Morgan began to run to Baelfire dagger in-hand. Cora had little strength. She rose up and defended for Baelfire. "Love is here begone..." she rose her hand and a light showed. Morgan screamed. Cora fell back in Baelfire's arms. "I love you Baelfire...always will..." her eyes shut. She was holding a winter rose and the book.

But the knife found its mark in a different way.  Morgan might not have stabbed him, but the knife pierced his stomach when it flew out of her hand.  Pulling it out sealed his fate.
"I'll never leave you...Cora." Baelfire whispered.  At last, the need to sleep became too much.  Finally, his eyes closed and he lay beside her.

Alidia cried that time in her sleep. Poor Cora and Baelfire. Never having the chance to prove their love. Then she began feeling the dreams change again. She opened her past-self's eyes. She was a gypsy again. She combed her hair. It was once again raven black. 'Why it is always black?' she wondered. But her name was Alice Hatter. Or Ali Hat for a nickname. She looked outside she was in France. She shrugged her shoulders. She began mixing stuff in a pot and then an egg popped out. "That's not right..." Alice said. "it's supposed to be a mist..." Alice looked at the egg and gasped "it's a dragon egg...how'd..." she gasped again as it began to crack. "they'll have my head for this..." she muttered as she watch in awe. 

This time, Rahim found that he was one of the most majestic magical creatures of all.  A dragon.  He lived in a cave alone near a camp of gypsies.  He recalled his name was Malachi.  As he looked at his reflection in the hot spring nearby, he saw that he had black and grey armored scales and a red underbelly.  In an environment like the forest, his coloration made him stand out.  And this was why he was generally active only at night.

Alice looked at this awestruck beast. She touched his back. He was half dragon and half boy. "Hey honey I am Alice...whats yours?" Alice used her motherlike voice after all she brought him in this world and he was so cute.

(OOC: I'm a little confused.  Is the baby Alice is talking to a different character or is it him?)

Malachi considered going to take a nap before going out hunting.  But something else caught his attention.  The scent of a half-dragon.  It was enough to make him go and investigate.

((OOC: Its a dragon thats going to be jealous of Malachi and Alice's relationship as it grows and turns them in))

Alice smiled as the tiny dragonboy said "I am Davy...and youre my mama..." Alice smile widen as she walked out. "I'll be back Davy..." and she went though the woods to find something for Davy to eat.

(OOC: Oh.  That makes sense.)

Much to Malachi's dismay, the scent had come from the direction of the camp.  The gypsies were harboring a half-dragon, half-human?  That was a real shock to him.  For years, the trading of dragon eggs was illegal.  So how had this egg come to be there?
"How indeed?" he thought out loud.  Not wanting to get caught, he turned and headed back towards his lair.

Alice totally lost. She just recently became a gypsy and didnt know the woods well. She began looking around and found a cave. She looked at the blue sky "Well could be..." she didnt finish her sentence as it began raining. She ran in and she started to shiver cause she got some of the rain on herself. "H...hello...is anyone in hhh...here?"

The sound of a voice pulled Malachi from his thoughts.  The rain meant he would be looking for food late that night and no one would be out in this weather.  Was it possible someone had come upon his cave before it started to rain and was forced to take shelter there?
"Let's find out." he said to himself.  He walked around a corner in the entrance and beheld a figure there.  They looked to be a female from what he was able to see.
"May I ask what you're doing here?" Malachi asked her.

Alice gasped. Another dragonshe thought. "Please dont hurt me...I mean no harm...I am Alice Hatter...a recently changed gypsy I have a little one at home whos like you but oh gods dont hurt me..." she bowed at the ground. Her black was all over the place.

"I see.  As long as you're not here to steal my treasure, you may stay until the storm passes.  Now, since you've introduced yourself, I should do the same.  My name is Malachi." the dragon told her, nuzzling her with his snout to put her at ease.

Alice brought her head up. "Treasure..." she shook her head to clear it, she wasnt like the other gypsies. "I promise...not to steal from you and Nice to meet you Malachi..." Alice smiled as she put her hair in a ponytail

"Thank you, Alice.  It's a pleasure to meet you too.  Would you like to come inside?  It's warmer farther in." Malachi offered.  She looked as if she could use a warm place to rest.

Alice smiled as she found a rock shaped chair. "Thank you so much for the hospitality...normally people dont trust us gypsies but I sense you do...well certain ones." Alice's smile brighten. "Want me to read your palm?"

"You are welcome to try.  And I trust you because your kind are in the same boat as mine." Malachi stated.  With that, he handed his clawed forepaw to her.
