Leo? Rick? ... Boys? [is confused and frightened as to what's going on, but is glad to be out of the house and away from those soldiers- Maybe her sons were lucky enough to be sent away from there too.]

[she can't really see where the voice is coming from but it's very familiar almost like-]

-L-Leo? Is that you? What happened to your voice baby?... do you have a cold?

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

...no, I...

M-Mom? Is that...

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

[is concerned mother] Leo? Baby, what's wrong? ... [eyes widen fractionally] Leo, where's Rick?! Is he with you?

Some...one is lost~

[look up in the sky. it's a bird. it's a plane. no, it's just a blonde kid with the huge scythe.]

, did you know that the Queen has ordered off with your head?

Bad Mr. Pride, bad. Scaring poor blind ishballans.

[Poor little rabbit that she is; she's mostly blind and so she cannot see from where the voice is coming- but she's suitably frightened.]

What was-? Who's there?

[bibliospazz.livejournal.com]

[She does a double take- her photographic memory placing the face at once. It's the woman from the picture in Leo & Rick's lockets.]

You're... [the fact that the woman in front of her is supposed to have died throws her for a loop for a moment, but then this place is full of strange things] You're Rick & Leo's mother!

oh, but you wound me, Alice~

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

The Jack of Spades, pretty The Queen's executioner~

And your red eyes, look up, for a clean sweep.

[good thing she cannot see his manic grin. run. nao.]

The words of children sometimes do.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

[she quivers and shakes, and like the rabbit rushes off without looking back]

S-stay away from me!

;__;

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

[chases along rooftops]

Poor boy, she doesn't wish to stay and play.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

[stumbles every once in a while sticking to the alley ways and places she knows she'll be less likely to be seen by any soldiers that may be in the area]

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

He's here too. D-don't... don't worry...

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

[looks relieved her eyes a little misty hand resting over her heart] You're both safe...

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

You've seen them? Where are they? I- I couldn't find them, I- Please tell me where they are. Please?

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

Are you... really here?

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

Leo, sweetie, of course I'm here. Mommy's right here. I was so worried when I couldn't find you... You must have been scared too.

[her eyes seem to have gotten worse from the flash of the explosion from just as she was pulled from her reality so she still hasn't noticed Leo isn't as she remembers him]

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

I-I was, but... That was a long time ago. I don't... I don't know if you can tell, but I'm fourteen, Mom.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

Four...teen...? But that's- it isn't possible.

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

And Rick's ten.

Mom... what's the... what's... *Scared to ask D:* What's the last thing that happened before you came here?

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

T-ten...? [looks shocked]

I-

... There were soldiers; they'd broken into the house and then... [pauses just a moment to collect herself] I ran into your room looking for you... but you didn't answer. I remember praying that I'd find you two, and that you'd be alright... then there was this bright light and I was here.

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

...oh...

... I know lying is wrong, but...

You disappeared. That was ages ago.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

I-? ... Ages...?

[looks a little devastated] I missed you growing up... I don't even remember...

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

I guess this is where you came, huh? See... time works kind of funny here. There's people from the past and from the future here. I guess that's what happened.

It isn't your fault, Mom.

his mom was very devout, so this view of things makes sense a little- yes?

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

[still looks a little sad- but then smiles a little]

I- I should be thankful then, that our god heard me and let me find you safe.

Yes, it does D: Sob

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's good to see you again.

i wonder how poor rick will react to seeing her.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

... You... [hesitates a moment not knowing if he maybe would be embarrassed by his mother openly showing her affection for him in public] can I give you a hug?

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

...*Doesn't answer, just hugs her instead.*

awww! Leo made mommy happy.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

[makes a small choked sound tearing up a little then wrapping her arms around her not-so-little-anymore boy]

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

...*Not sniffling at all. No he's not shut up he's not.*

We should go find Rick. He's going to be happy to see you.

[bibliospazz.livejournal.com]

Well I don't know exactly where they are right this very moment- but they've been living with me above the book store, ma'am.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

You've gotten so big... [is a little misty eyed herself]

Find-? You don't know where he is? [seems a little worried]

[un-locket.livejournal.com]

N-no, I know where he is! I didn't mean it that way.

[motherofishbal.livejournal.com]

[She's relieved by this news, and nods] Then yes, please... I'd like to see him too.
