Shoot The Messenger

yes other hearts were broken & other dreams ran dry

but our golden ones sail on and on

In the coming days, Sam would have no idea how right he was to be worried. Remi and Ronin would kill a man for having kidnapped their daughter, forever sealing their fate and darkening their souls. For now though, the alchemist merely shook his head, wrapped in boyish ignorance.

"Mmm, no. Aoife coos herself to sleep most nights." Little did the alchemist know that had more to do with Safrin than the girls' sleep schedule.

Still, swallowing down a lungful of grief, the alchemist bit the inside of his lip and pulled in a breath. "I would never hurt you, Sam. Doors...the ground, walls...but never you." Whatever unremembered part of the alchemist, swore it, on the love they once shared. "Never you." He added in an emphatic whisper.  

'I will find you, Sam. Push the button, and I will be where you are." The alchemist vowed solemnly, watching the ascended disappear out into the midnight hours.
