Cecelia wiped her tearstained face with her hands and touched Dorien's hands. She sniffled and bit her lip. "Why do I have to go away Dorien? Why can't we stay together? Why why why..." She leaned her face into his chest.

((OOC: We talked about this via PM if you forgot...))

ooc: *Sigh* I'm going to just take that as a simple reminder and not an insult on my intelligence. lol jk

*Dorien sighed and stroaked her hair absently* "It's safer for you. And.....the baby." *He still had trouble saying that sometimes.* "I just don't want you to get hurt....The way this Sentinus guy is acting, we'll both be major targets." *He paused and pulled her off, holding her so he could look in her eyes* "And I don't intend on laying low and waiting for it to blow over....and it could be very dangerous, espically if your with me. You'll be safe with my family. And I'll have one less thing to worry about so I can concentrate on helping with the resistance..." *Oops. He'd let that slip. Dorien hadn't intended on telling her that he was going to join the resistance. He knew that she would worry about him, and probably throw a fresh tantrum about wanting to stay*

Cecelia's jaw dropped and she crossed her arms, her eyes wide with fury. "Dorien (middle name) Hurt! You are not doing that and I am not leaving your side if you do! I am the mother of your child and you are not going to leave me in the dust to not help you! I love you remember?" She took his face in her hands. "What if something happens to you and you don't ever get to meet your baby... If anything happens to you Dorien, I'm liable to kill myself..."

*He rolled his eyes* "Don't be silly." *Dorien looked at her, not intending to compromise* "No, Cecelia...you are going away so you can be safe, and I am staying here to fight...I want to do this....I need to....And nothing is going to happen to me so don't worry. I'll come home in once piece. They're not going to catch me...I'm much faster and stronnger...and if they do, what're they going to do to me? Bleed on me?" *He scoffed* "No. I'm fighting. You're going. That's final"

Cecelia pouted in the fashion of a six year old and took a deep breath. "Well...If your baby is born without you..." She looked up at him with wide sad eyes. "Well I...I'll just have to name it something awful like Augustine or Bert." She licked her lips and looked into his eyes. He wasn't going to change his mind so she knew she may as well give up.

*Dorien scruched his nose up a little at her suggustion of naming the baby Bert.* "I think you're bluffing....you wouldn't dare name our child Bert." *He reached out and pulled her nearer to him. Dorien grined and touched his forehead to hers* "I'll be there....I've waited over a century, and I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Cecelia took a deep breath and pulled her long gold chain with a thick rusty kep on it off of her neck. "My granny gave this to me...My grandpa gave it to her and said it was the key to his heart, and he gave it to her before he went into the first war ((OOC: against voldemort))..He never made it back..." She pulled it over his neck. "Remember me always?"

*Dorien smiled and took the necklace* "Cecelia......" *He paused. Dorien was going to argue about how this was completely different because he wasn't a human and therefor couldn't die, except for at the hands of another vampire or possibly a werewolf. He decided it would be best if he didn't* "Thank you..." *He slipped it around his neck* "I'll always remember you..."

Cecelia, however, was talking about herself dying and not Dorien. "If anything happens to me..Just know that I love you and you're everything I've always wanted." She threw her arms around him and placed kisses all over his face. "And if anything happens to you...I'll kill them. I'll kill them all!"

*Dorien couldn't help but smile as he held her* "Cecelia....please.....stop worrying. Nothing is going to happen to either of us. I promise. Okay? I love you....." *He pulled her towards himself and kissed her firmly on the lips as if, despite his words, he was afraid that they wern't going to have much time left together and that he was scared. Dorien pulled back and looked at her* "It's going to be just as hard for me, being away from you..."

Cecelia wiped her eyes. "I don't want to be away from you..I want to be with you always...I want my baby to have a daddy you know? I don't want him or her to be born without you so as soon as I hit 8 months, I'm writing you and you're staying with me...or else it's Bert or Brunhilda..."

"I don't know....I'm tempted to stay away just to see if you're bluffing or not....." *He grinned again, trying to lighten the mood* "You know I'll be there....I don't know how, but somehow I'm going to keep in touch with you. I don't tihnk that owls will be really all that safe anymore..." *He was talking to himself more than he was to her, and he stopped, looking back up ather* "We'll figure something out...come on....you're going to miss your train....." ((ooc: I'm picturing this all at a train station...so....that's what it's gonna be. lol)) *Dorien bent and picked up her bags and started to carry them towards the train car her seat was in.* "Alice will be at the other end to pick you up and take you to the house." *He told her for the millionth time*

Cecelia hopped into his arms, tears streaming down her cheeks and she rubbed her forehead into his. "Please don't forget about me. I don't want anything to happen to us while I'm gone. All I'll be thinking of is you..and little Bert.." She smiled softly and wrapped herself around him. "Please..."

*Dorien smiled weakly and kised the top of her head as he held her* "Don't worry...I'm not going to forget about you, I promise. You're going to be so much safer with my family....who knows. You might actually enjoy it." *Dorien released her and set her on the ground.* "I'm gonna miss you, love."

She rubbed their noses gently together. "I'll miss you too... More than anything." She wouldn't remove her gaze from his eyes. Something about him made her want to be near him all the time from the first moment they had met, and nothing had changed since. Now..? They were being forced to part. Obviously there was a higher reason they were being seperated but if they were meant to be, he would come back for her. He would be okay.

:heartbreak:

*Dorien smiled weakly but it faded as the final whistle blew, urging the passengers to get on board. Dorien leaned in and pulled her into a kiss, his cold lips crushed urgently against hers as if he was afraid he was losing her. He pulled back and looekd at her in the eyes* "I love you Cecelia." *He said very clearly and seriously. Dorien leaned in and kissed her again.*

She touched the key necklace that she had placed on his neck and nodded. "Never forget me. I will be back and so will your baby... I need you Dorien. I need you now more than ever. Write me every day, even if you can't send the letters to me now. I'll certainly be writing you." She pressed her lips against his once more, her tears sloshing against his cheeks. With one final glance, she turned and ran onto the train, sobbing.
