High Priestess

5.16

September 3, 1998

Emlyn was nineteen and gorgeous as ever with her big brown eyes and brown waves. She looked like her mother despite being taller at five foot four. Phoenix well, Phoenix was Phoenix. She had blonde waves and bright blue denim eyes, her mother's face, and her mother's height standing at only five-two. Her younger twin is surprisingly six foot and he looks exactly like his father. Save for the brown eyes but he does have little specks of blue in them. The twins were sixteen. Emlyn and Nixi had an affinity for spirituality. They had learned Tarot from their mother and their Aunt Robin before she sadly passed away from Leukemia when they were five and seven. And they spent most of their free time at the store, and while Griffin believed in it, he didn't care about it. He had much rather play his guitar than anything. Griffin was so much like Lindsey and Stevie absolutely adored it. The same manerisms, the same face, the same likes and dislikes it's stupid but it just means that he's as passionate about things as Lindsey is. Stevie and Lindsey haven't revealed anything about Stevie's past to them but she knows that when they do, Griffin is going to be just like Lindsey in how he handles it and Stevie knows that.

Stevie and the girls, Sharon, Lori, Lori's daughter Jessie-who had learned to read Tarot from her Aunt Stevie-Minnie, Emlyn, and Pheonix were milling about the shop doing different things when the bell opened and two people walked in, Nixi and Emlyn shared a look when they saw their mother tensen up but they didn't ask questions they just scarily cocked their head in the same way and then walked over to their mother. 

"Oh this shop is gorgeous. Mick you'll love it. I come in here all the time." They knew the woman her name is Sarah Recor. She's a shop regular who comes in at least once a month but they didn't know the man and Emlyn and Nixi's guards were up. 

"Welcome to Divinity how can we help you?" Nixi holds out her hand to Sarah and Mick.

"My Fiance hasn't ever been in here before and I wanted to show him around. He likes a lot of medeval things and I thought this could be something that we share together." Sarah cheers.

"Mick Fleetwood, and what by chance are your names?" Mick asks looking at the two girls.

"Phoenix Buckingham. This is my sister Emlyn." 

"You named your kids Phoenix and Emlyn...what were you on when they were born?" Mick asks turning his attention to Stevie.

"Stone cold sober Michael. And my son Griffin is at a guitar lesson. What were they on when they let you out of jail?" Stevie asks.

"He got out on good behavior. He was in jail for drug dealing but the past is in the past right and everyone deserves a second chance...isn't that right doll?" Sarah coos at Mick.

"You left out one little bit of information there Mick." Stevie scolds as Minnie, Lori, and Sharon put their guard up.

"Oh?" Sarah asks a frown etching her face. 

"Stephanie Don't...." Mick starts.

"She deserves to know Mick." She replies.

"What, what did he do?" Sarah stomps her foot.

"She's insane don't listen to anything she tells you." Mick scolds.

"I wanna hear it." 

"He was also arressted for Spousal Abuse and Endangerment." Stevie crosses her arms and leans against the counter.

"We've been dating for two months and he's not laid a hand on me...and how do you even know this?" She stomps her foot and growls out.

"She was the spouse." Minnie chimes in not liking Sarah's attitude.

"Is that what the nightmares you used to tell me where about?" Emlyn questions.

"Part of it." Stevie sighs.

"I think you're just jealous if you are his ex-wife you porbably just want to get back together with him." Sarah states.

"Why would I want to get back together with someone who bashed my head against the fridge, threw a glass plate at my face, gave me a black eye, choked me over the kitchen counter, when I came too I was strapped to a bed in a mental hospital where one of his doctor client people that he was dealing drugs with raped me with a candle stick, why would I want to get back together with someone who paid someone to give me electroshock therapy for no specific reason other then to try and make me forget about his drug running business. Why would I want to get back together with someone who tried to make said doctor that raped me give me a forced abortion on an eighteen week old fetus and then when he refused told him to up my therapy sessions to three times a day that way he could rid himself of both of us....so no Sarah, I don't want to go back to him and I do scincerely think you should run for the hills." 

"Wait is this man my dad, raping doctor my dad, or is daddy my dad?" She asks.

"Your father is your father. Mick and I had an open marriage where he cheated on me with playboy bunnies left and right and I had a relationship with your father. I was already pregnant when they put me in the hospital. That's why your name is Emlyn Rosabella, because Emlyn and Rosabella both me warrior. You were with me all through the electric shock, you were what kept me sane the whole time I was in there. Mick knew you weren't his and that's why he tried to pull the abortion stunt." Stevie explains lightly playing with Emlyn's hair. 

"It's done and overwith Sarah, I know what I did was wrong and I've changed I promise I changed." Mick replies.

"I hope so, because I really like you and we're planning on getting married." Sarah pouts.

"Well then, let me give you this as a wedding present. But please Sarah be careful." Stevie states pulling out a Rose Quartz Crystal and handing it to her.

When Stevie and the girls get home, Lindsey and Griffin are playing their guitars on the couch and Stevie goes over and she just wraps her arms around Lindsey's shoulders.

"What?" He asks stopping his playing, taking her hands in his and kissing them.

"The girls met Mick today, the kind of know the jist but I think we need to tell them everything tonight." Stevie sighs.

"Are you okay?" Lindsey inquires.

"I'm fine. I love you." 

"I love you too." 

A/N

High Priestess is done...

I have such a soft spot for this story it's stupid. It was different, not only for me to write but I'm hoping in our little Buckingham-Nicks world. With that being said, Just Go With It will be published on Monday. I can't wait for you all to read the third request I've done but the Second I've actually completed. 

Much Love
