Blue bird

Old friends...

-Alma's POV-

It was getting late, and I had just finished washing of the plates from supper. I walked to the room were the children were already gathered for movie time. Horace looked at me and I nodded giving him the signal to start the 'movies'. He did so and (of course) it started with him buying clothes. Soon enough the dream changed to... me?

I was seen reading in the parlor but in...

damn it. I thought. I was wearing Y/N's sweater she had forgotten. The children all looked at me and I felt pink  creeping up my cheeks, but kept a stern face and kept watching the rest of the dream.

A knock from the door was heard and I put the book aside. My face looked concerned, which meant we probably weren't expecting visitors. I opened the door and there were seen 6 people in the door. Wights? Was my first thought, but it was hard to see as they were all blurred which meant that the future wasn't set in stone. I grew worried both in the dream and here. I let them in and the vision ended.

The children muttered and whispers, but I just clapped my hands and said;

"to reset." I say simply and they all get up to leave. I sigh and hold my head in my hands. After five years I am still not over her. I hate myself for it but I can hate her. I assembled myself and walked out for reset.

—Y/N's POV—

You were doing your best carrying Lilly but winced every time you took a step. Your body was covered in blood, Lilly was unconscious and your other wards had cuts and bruises. This was never supposed to happen. You stopped for a second and sat everyone down placing Lilly in Julies arms, seeing as she was the oldest. You checked them all for serious wounds but thankfully there were no one. But they were freezing you were badly hurt -not that you in any way cared right now- and you had nowhere to go... except, No! You couldn't. But when you heard even Julie was silently crying you decided you had to.

"Children" you said with a raspy and shaking voice. We'll be staying with another Ymbryne. She lives just a few miles away and if i know her correctly -which i do! You thoyght- she will gladly let us stay. They looked hopeful and you limbed over to Julie and Lilly taking her into your arms again. Everyone got up and followed silently.

On the way you had to make many stops and Julie helped carry some of the younger children as they were all in chok and tired. But you on the other hand felt wide awake. Every twig snapping sounded like footsteps, and every blow of wind made you tense up more. Soon enough you reached the Beach you knew so well. You could see the cave and a shot of relief spread all around your body. You're leg was threatening to falter and you had lost a lot of blod. But the children are okay. The children are okay. The children, are okay! You repeated it in your mind until you were through the loop. You felt safe, and the children could feel it on you making them less nervous too. You reached the door and asked them to be quit. Which on a second thought probably hadn't been necessary seeing as they'd been quiet this whole time, with the exception of a few cries and winces. You took a deep breath -or at least tried to- before knocking on the door. The familiar clicking of heels could be heard through the door and you grew nervous but you had to do this for your wards. They were everything to you! The door opened and there stood the beautiful blue haired woman.

"Miss me bluebird?" You say. You didn't even intend to and quickly regretted as her hands shot to her mouth. Tears formed in her eyes and your heart broke.

—Alma's POV—

Seeing her standing there with children, all of them covered in blood it didn't take long before tears shot to my eyes. I quickly wiped them away as i saw the children and glanced back up at Y/N. Without a second thought i let them in. I walked to the kitchen and Y/N knowing the house sat her children in the parlor. As i walke din i shot her a concerned look before asking;

"Are they your wards?" She looks at me softly and nods. I give her some bandages and cleaning substance and we begin attending to the children's wounds.

-Y/N's POV-

Since it hadn't been long after reset Alma woke up some of her wards and settled mine into their rooms. They could be introduced properly tomorrow. I was saying goodnight to them one by one and then Alma helped me downstairs since my leg had gotten worse. Just as we had entered the parlor she sits me down on the couch but I quickly get up not being able to calm down properly.

"... How dare you!" She shouts catching me by surprise.

"You left! And never called, nor wrote me or the children one letter! Not even one! And now you're a full fleshed Ymbryne with your own wards and show up here -not that i mind- all of you covered in blood!" She says whisper shouting. I feel myself getting dizzy and my vision was blurred.

"Y/N?" She sais though i could barely hear her.

"Y/N......" you feel yourself fall and everything goes black.
