Seraph

Extra 1- Texas 2007

Serafina couldn't help but glare at their surroundings when they entered their mansion. She grumbled lowly under her breath about how they could've gone to France or Italy. She tried to push for Italy, but she did have to admit that going without the queens or twins there didn't sound as fun. But she would much rather explore the rest of Italy with her beloved than be in Texas. Europe would be safe now for Rosalie, too, which was what she tried to pitch to her wife, who still insisted on Texas.

Rosalie had asked if the one Serafina had killed was the one who could form ties. Serafina denied it, which made Rosalie wonder how she knew it was safe. But Serafina assured her she would be. It wasn't even that the Volturi refused to use their tie maker. It was that Chelsea would never risk herself. Serafina would destroy her, and she knew that. She felt Serafina's eyes on herself before Corin was destroyed. She didn't know how but suspected Serafina knew about her ability and that she was nearly killed. Edward told Serafina as much after eavesdropping on her mind before she left. Chelsea would protect herself and refuse to make or break bonds with Serafina's family.

Despite Rosalie knowing that she could freely travel Europe with her wife now, she had agreed to meet her friend and would keep her word even if her wife was upset about it for some reason. She chalked it up to Serafina's usual dislike for their witchy friend. She would get over it.

The two hadn't even set their bags down when there was a sudden knock on their door. Serafina frowned and shook her head in disagreement with her wife, who was about to answer. Rosalie rolled her eyes at her wife's antics. The suddenness of this knock at their arrival already told her who would be there. She happily turned around to open the door, and she was right. There stood her brunette friend with a mischievous smile. The two quickly embraced.

"Finally! I missed you!" Morgana said as she rocked the two back and forth.

Serafina quickly separated the two as she brought Rosalie to her side with a glare at Morgana. She held Rosalie's hand tightly in case Morgana tried to pull her away again.

Morgana rolled her eyes at the action, "Please, I'm not interested in her like that. I'm just happy I don't have to deal with you alone anymore. Chickenshit." She said to Serafina.

Rosalie chuckled, "What do you mean?" she asked.

"Rosie, I think I can get you what you've always wanted," Morgana grinned.

Rosalie only showed confusion, "What do I want?" she asked.

"A family," Morgana smiled.

But instead of the happiness she expected, Rosalie frowned, "I have my family." She reminded while raising her clasped hands with Serafina. Serafina smiled radiantly at the words before sticking her tongue out at Morgana.

"Aw, how touching," Morgana said mockingly while rolling her eyes. "You wouldn't have to give her up to have your family." She insisted.

Morgana wasn't actually sure. But she didn't think so. The one owed the most seemed to be Serafina. She knew that fire was an unnatural ability for a vampire. Even the ones able to wield it weren't able to absorb it. That wasn't even what she thought was gifted to her. She believed the gift was Paprika. Serafina had told her before that she felt pain when the fire was being especially greedy for either food or freedom from her body. That wasn't normal. She had once cast a spell to figure out where the fire housed itself within her body to see if she could put some barriers to protect her from the pain. But she had found that the fire was literally in her veins. She no longer had human blood flowing throughout, but that fire and her venom flowed through her. She wasn't able to do anything to try and help with the pain. But it was learning about it that led her to believe that only the God who gifted it to her could safely remove it.
