Tear Tarnished Angel

Kallion gave an excited cry and small fingers pointed out through the castle window at the white that was falling from the skies.  Mallie, who had slept beside him in the crib as neither toddler would sleep away from each other when they were in the same place, blinked sleeping dust from her eyes.

The Princess’s green eyes widened seeing fluff of white as she had never seen before, being from the northern desert lands. Joscelin laughed and clapped his hands seeing the snow, the one who although a toddler in body was an adult in the mind. The heir was a reborn Elvish soul who was the eldest in spirit and cared for his brothers and cousin like his own after their mother’s death. The nursing maid looked out at the morning, “Well, very well then.  Get ye all some food and get ye all dressed for the cold. Then ye can see the snow.”

Mallie at two years old clung to Kallion’s side feeling his protection and overwhelmed by the new experience. Her hand had snow on its palm and she stared at it wide eyed in wonder. This was the first time she, Kallion and Raunien had ever seen the snow. Kallion at four had his white angel wing around Mallie holding her to his side instinctively protective laughing as the snow fell onto his tongue. The youngest, baby Raunien made noises and scrunched his nose swaddled in the nurse maid’s arms. Joscelin toddled his way to a bank of snow and began to compact it.

“Kally! Come here, bring Mallie!”

Kallion tilted his head but he helped Mallie through the snow on her little legs and Joscelin showed them how to compact the fluff into a big ball. Together they would make a miniature snowman with Joscelin giving the instructions as Mallie and Kallion were very quiet, scared children. Then he would pick up more of the white and toss it at Mallie who shrilly squeaked! She made a face before throwing some back at him. “Na Nice!”

Joscelin laughed and it soon turned into the three tossing hand falls of snow before falling together into the snow banks.  Mallie laughed alongside Joscelin and even scarred Kallion giggled with abandon in the first winter’s snow.

Title: Please Don't Leave Me
Rating: (PG-13)
Content Notes/Warnings: They yell, they tear at each others emotions, but they need each other, they love each other. Inspired by Pink's Please Don't Leave me, it's Kallion and Mallie's Theme Song. Childhood Comfort comes before this.

I'd like to make clear this isn't just a man emotionally abusing his fiance relationship, Kallion whom has lost loved ones in his past is over protective of his fiance who has been abused nearly all her life by men . She thinks he is caging her and thinking her weak as her country believes woman are....they yell, they scream, and they both end up hurt. But Kallion would NEVER hit her, the yelling matches are fair, she sometimes starts the arguments, he sometimes does. It doesn't matter who started or finished. Both have the best intentions at heart, but it doesn't seem to show. They are complicated but love each other dearly and couldn't live without each other. Things do get better for them but it takes a long time.

No Warnings.

Main Character/s: Mallie Quele, Kallion ap'Eiblhion
Plot: It was finally to much, Mallie was going to leave, but Kallion couldn't live without her.

How many times had he seen her back as she walked away? The tenseness of her shoulders, the swaying of her hips and her hands in tight fists after a yelling match.

Mallie...

“I’m sorry...”

Her step falters, her hands disappearing before her, head bowing, the thick black curls covering her shoulders that quiver.

“Are...you? Really?” Echoes off sandstone walls back still turned to him talking to air.

Kallion swallows and his brow furrows taking a step forward, his hands reaching out in vain toward his fiance, “Yes. I didn’t mean it. I promise. Please don’t leave me.”
