*layla sees millie by herself, sobbing. nobody else is around since they're all on missions. *
*when she gets closer, she notices red hand marks around millie's throat....*
*millie hears her and looks up, quickly wiping her eyes. one of them has a purple ring around it.*

millie: *in strained voice* o-oh! l-layla! s-sorry... Whats up...?
*she covers the hand marks.*

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Godesses.. *sits down beside her, trying to open a bottle of something red* what happened..?

Millie: another one of the types of people that hate demons attacked me... calling me ''stupid half-breed.." i was so scared that i didn't fight back... it had just been awhile and brought back bad memories...

@Theformerdq10
Layla: I may not like you all that much, but dont listen. They just dont like what they dont and cant understand... I should know. And if it helps any.. I'm criticized on the daily for being a half-breed AND having the Beast Blood... Romulus doesnt get that for being pure... I know what you go through. But they shouldnt be attacking any of us.

Millie: thanks layla... *sore smile* do you want me to beat one of these guys up for you? *laughs softly* i may be joking, but i'd do it! nobody in dark's circle gets to be hurt. especially you.

@Theformerdq10
Layla, trying not to smile: I've got it, thanks... actually, do you mind looking out for Ivonn..? He's my half brother and Vaati's son, but he gets bullied every day because he looks weird.. he cant even help it! *bottle clinks* OH RIGHT! Red Potion! *hands some to millie* Its on me...
(BaCk In My DaY- *wheeze-*
You could heal with potions, hearts and milk or soup. And the refilled the magic meter as well, no meals or anything)

Millie: *smile* thanks. and of course i'll protect him! *drinks the potion* yall mean the world the me!

@Theformerdq10
Layla: No problem... and thanks I guess. We all need to watch over the poor thing..

millie: of course. i'd protect you all at any cost.
you may not like me, but i like you. and i want to do my best for you and your family.
...oh! that reminds me! *she took a book out and handed it to her.* old demon spellbook. Stole it from another au's hell.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Hmmmm... ancient demon magicks.. interesting. Anyway, Papa's probably waiting for you... might rip apart those people. *gets up* And by the way? If you ever see Felony, tell her she's being crushed on. Hard. By two people.

@CrystallizedDusk millie: FELONY?
*laughs* oh man. shes gonna go NUTS. she's my best friend. . *stands up* you've made my day. who has a crush on her? if they're guys, i feel bad for them since she's a lesbian. *chuckles*

@Theformerdq10
Layla: I'm sure you know Delilah.. shes head over COMBAT BOOTS! And Valencia... he's a guy, but more... androgynous? Like Papa? And jeez... you're welcome. Sorry I was so gruff... you're really nice, and I'm just.. *holds her arm and takes a deep breath* not really sure if I'm ready to trust yet... not after Her and how she treated Papa..

@CrystallizedDusk millie: oh honey. its okay. *she places a han on layla's cheek.* i understand completely, and what you're feeling is completely valid. i'm always gonna understand and be there when you need me. *drops her hand, and walks forward a bit* and by the way, felony likes Delilah back. not like she's gonna admit it, but she does. come on, your father's waiting! *grins*

@Theformerdq10
Layla: ...Thanks Millie... for trying. It means a lot to me.. especially now that you've made Papa seem so much happier. And H3LL YEAH! WE GOTTA FIND A WAY TO PITCH THEM TOGETHER! >:)))
(Okay can we just take a second here to address how MILLIE IS BEING SUCH A GOOD MOTHER!? IM PRETTY SURE ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE YEETED HER INTO A TRASH BIN-)

( I KNOWWWW!!!)

millie: *laughs* ooooh man!!! she's probs gonna be p1ssed at m but this'll be fun!!!
warning, though- she gets violent when embarrassed.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Have you seen Papa? I think I can handle it. I've has to deal with dodging bottles, knives, swords... all manner of going to the hospital and only dislocated my left shoulder once! I'll be fine!
(MILLIE AND MORPHA FOR MOM OF THE YEAR)

millie: Oof. *side hugs* im glad you werent hurt TOO badly! *grins* so, whats the game plan for dels and fels?

@Theformerdq10
Layla: I COULD see if Stardust and Nightmare can try something... maybe a romantic train ride from Byrne and Tracks? Or a nice evening in the rose garden courtesy of Dream..? I dont know. I dunno Felony that well... or anyone, really..

Millie: well... felony is complicated. she used to be a mûrderer. you know, she actually k1lled everyone in the underground because she was jealous that melody got a happy ending but not her? but felony's redeeming herself now that she brought everyone back. she wants to be better.knowing her, she'd probably like slaying a monster with Delilah, just like me and dark.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: *insert plotting hand rub thing... you know what it is* Very interesting... very interesting indeed. And it kinda sounds like something Papa would do. He gets... VERY jealous and takes it out the wrong way... just ask Time: Engaged to the Zelda they were competing for, Papa got jealous and... let's just say, a head rolled in the ballroom that night, and it wasnt either man's...

@CrystallizedDusk millie: *smiles, getting a loving look in her eyes* i bet. he's amazing to me, jealousy and all.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Really...? Most girls run screaming...

Millie: lay, in case you Haven't noticed, i'm not ''most girls.'' *laughs* i love ever aspect of your father. i find his violence attractive. he's everything to me, and i cant imagine a life without him or you.
*smiles* i was TERRIFIED of YOU. because i want you to accept me. and i was scared you'd judge the demon part of me. but now that i know you, you're every bit as wonderful as dark says.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Neither am I, mom. I've been dreading meeting you because- if I'm being honest- I thought you'd turn out just like Mama and hurt my dad. I can deal with a lot, and been through a lot, but even though my dad is a metal wall he still gets hurt really easily... I guess I just wanted to spare myself the pain, hehe..

millie: ... *eyes well up* you... just called me mom...
*she pulls layla into a hug* i love you, laylabelle.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Hey hey HEY HEY! COOL IT WITH AFFECTION! Not there yet! Sorry, and yes I did, but NOT YET!

millie: haha, sorry. *wipes eyes* you're a wonder, you know that?

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Please. I'm just a girl that can turn into a werewolf. Nothing special.

millie: um, yes you ARE special, and the werewolf thing is super freakin cool. :)

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Not... not when everyone calls you a beast because of it...

millie: they shouldn't, and i'll put them in the ground if they do it again. :)

@Theformerdq10
Layla: They will, because THAT'S MY SCHOOL for ya! :3

millie: bunch of sh1theads then. they dont deserve your presence.

*timeskip a WHILE after this. she finds millie pacing back and forth, looking a bit stressed.*

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Hmmm...? What's wrong, mom?

Millie: *looks up* OH hi layla!! Its nothing, dont worry about it... *she smiles, but its very clear something is bothering her.*

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Stop with the bs. What's bothering you?

Millie: I'm... i'm afraid it'll make you hate me more...
besides, it probably wont happen.. he probably will say no... *she sat down.*

@Theformerdq10
Layla, sitting down beside her: Shoot the shot. Dad wouldn't have married you if he hates you.

Millie: ....Iwantakidofmyownwithdark.
*exhales* thats the first time i've said it out loud.
i was afraid that YOU Wouldn't want that, and that dark would say no. but layls, i love you. and i love being your mom. and... i want to mother a child of my own too.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: *drawn out whistle* Daaaaaaaaaaa-n.... I honestly never thought you'd want a kid... with Papa no less..

Millie: i DIDN'T want kids.. and then i met you. and you opened that world up for me.

@Theformerdq10
Layla: Honestly..? The least he can say is "not yet" so... I say you give it a try. Who knows? It may happen.

millie: And you're okay with it?

@Theformerdq10
Layla: I deal with Romulus and Ivonn. I'm more than fine with it.

Millie: *smiles* i'm glad. :)

(re-reading this for fun- i nearly choked in my soda-)

(VALENCIA LIKED FELONY!? THE AU THAT ACTS THE MOST LIKE DAMIEN?!)

*wheezes and bangs the wall*
