The campus felt like an entirely different place. Students were buzzing with gossip and rumours surrounding both the Dean and Lara. Some of the favourites Ella had heard were along the lines that she was brain washing students and hypnotised Lara. The rumours of her being an evil witch always made her laugh. Some believed that Lara was the evil one, bribing Ella somehow to get good grades. No one was really one hundred percent sure, except for the students that crossed the Supernatural world and knew what happened that night.
It was both a blessing and a curse that both Lara and Ella had stepped into the light and revelled their relationship. Rumour after rumour piled up but Lara’s blog had become an overnight blast of fame. Ella watched through the security cameras as her girlfriend couldn’t go anywhere without crowds of people staring or asking her questions.
The students that had revealed themselves as wolves were now following her like lost puppies, protective of the witch that liberated them. The witches both light and dark divided into the jealous and admiring of Lara’s abilities. She had never been so popular.
LaF and Perry as best friends of Lara and also present the night everything happened, had also gained the fame and flock of questions that came with that. In the end they had to take their lunch to the far side of the tables in the hall and sat away from the groups and whispers.
“Have you messaged her? You did message her didn’t you?”, Perry stopped stabbing her mash potato with her fork and looked across the table at LaF who was barely eating.
“Back of the hall.” LaF nodded. “I messaged Danny but I haven’t seen her since the night, you know.”
Perry looked up and noticed all the students whispering and talking. “Maybe we should have picked a quieter spot to interrogate her?”

She was caught off guard by Lara’s words purely because she had never met someone who had laid down rules or at least dared speak to her like she had. When the gently kiss broke apart Ella forgot about the leash and went to move.

And that was the moment Mattie chose to make her appearance. "Hello darlings. I hope I wasn't interrupting anything, little monster?" Lara flushed and burrowed under the bedsheet.
"The board, well, four of them, decided to fire me, and I can't set foot on Silas grounds any more. I can only be here because this is your place not the campus. So that's why I disappeared and can't be very useful with the board. How have you two been? And isn't it time to get up?"

Catching Lara’s flushed Ella smiled at how cute that was and left her hidden. The vampire however, trying to get control of her body again pulled on her light robe and got up out of bed.
“You expect me to believe that? You expect me to believe that you couldn’t have got her any sooner. You know there are ways of contacting me but you just vanished!” Ella snapped, moving around from the bed to block Lara from embarrassment.
“What did they offer you?” Now folding her arms across her job. “Or should I be asking, what did you tell them?”

Date: 2018-08-21 05:56 pm (UTC)From:"Offer me?" Mattie laughed. "Your position. And why would I want that? I've my own sources of power with a lot less paperwork. But they then abused their power to sequester me as a witness. Apparently they're scared of you two, Kitty. Take one more seat on the council and you can start blocking them on literally everything. And they were really interested in your girlfriend, and what she can do. I told them I didn't know how she did that to our unlamented alpha. Oh, I can guess. But I don't know. Especially as there are only dark witches in my classes and for all she squirms prettily Lara's doing well at the excercises."

What she did with the wolves….” She moved to sit on the edge of the bed placing her hand on the sheets where Mattie and Ella both knew she had buried herself due to her heartbeat. “…the board should be scared. They think I’m deadly now? Try me now I am in love. There’s nothing I won’t do for her Mattie.”
She looked up at the vampire without a drop of a fear with what the board want to do. “And as for the wolves. If it was up to me I would have slaughtered all of them. I’m still not comfortable with them being on the campus and attending the school.” She found the curve of Lara’s thigh through she sheets and gave it a little squeeze, signally that she knows she is listening.
“However…Lara’s method has had its benefits. The wolves could have killed me twice now but they haven’t.”

Sylens sat in the room with his hands cupped over his nose. Elbows resting on his knees. He hadn’t slept in about twenty-four hours and the signs of fatigue were starting to take its toll. The doctor, an ice wolf who was now not so shy about hiding his identity to Ella, came in pushing a wheelchair to the side of the bed.
“We did everything we could.” He caught his friends gaze and gave the weakest of smiles. “If he was human this would have been much worse and we both know this. I’m not saying it will repair fast but it’s going to take time. The Alpha did a lot of damage.
Have you told Fliss?
Sylens shook his head. “She knows. Without an alpha in our pack there is no one to shelter the pain. We all feel for him. He is happy go lucky, fun. He’s family to all of us.”
The doctor sighed and motioned for Sylens to follow him out the room. At least out of ear shot of Leo in case he was awake. “I think it might be time to accept the fact that that version of Leo, who he was died in that stadium. When someone suffers a life changing injury they have to find themselves again. Now he’ll be ready to go home at the end of the week. I’m assuming he’s returning with us to the caves?”
Sylens shook the doctors hand and looked back at the door. “He will be staying with us. Thank you Amon.”

"And I think we're all learning why white witches are considered so dangerous. There's nothing I can see about her showing she has any more power than any of the other white witches we've known. Better at self defense and at making friends with aggressive people. But not any more powerful. Just better at making friends and allies."
"And twice, Kitty? You're stronger than you think. Especially if someone hurts Lara. And I'm just glad I've seen how devoted she is to you or I'd be threatening her on your behalf rather than being as amused by the way she's wrapped you round her finger as by the way she blushes, squirms, and hides. Are you planning on showing her off in public as your sub? If so I want to be there." Under the sheet Lara whimpered, causing Mattie to grin. "Or I could have a private showing." Another whimper.

Date: 2018-08-23 10:52 am (UTC)From:She left Lara hidden under the sheets but tried to provoke a reaction. “I think you will find she is the one around my finger.” Ella paused for a second, wondering if Lara would react to that before continuing.
“I plan to put a leash on her and show her to our friends. Maybe suspend.” She stood up off the bed to face Mattie. “Sub. You know how I don’t like being in control.”
The whimpers from under the sheets made her smirk.

Date: 2018-08-23 01:18 pm (UTC)From:Lara's head reappeared, face flaming. "I know exactly how much you love giving up control, love." And Ella would feel her tendril dancing down her spine. "But only to certain people, the way I do."
Mattie laughed, delightedly. "She actually lets you top her? Little Monster hasn't done that in more than a century. Take care of her, and I look forward to you being the star of the show." Lara whimpered again.

It was only Mattie’s laugh that snapped her back into reality. “You’re saying that because you want to see me not be a control freak.” Ella stood up and flashed Mattie a small smile. “I know you and I bet you would love to watch.”
Although the apartment was open plan the kitchen was far from the bed and Ella motioned for Mattie to follow her so Lara could have some time to slip some clothes on and join us or lay in if she wished. “And before you say anything, I’m not soft.” Ella pulled out a stool for Mattie to join her in the kitchen. The fact the Max had mentioned Ella being weak or soft had really gotten under her skin.

"When you took Mother down eight people saw enough to be able to warn Mother. None of them did because Mother was hard and no one was going to she'd a tear for her. And if any had you'd have failed."
"Softness isn't weakness, little monster. It's the skin and fat over muscle and bone. And that's what you need when times are hard." Mattie smiled. "And yes, I enjoy watching her squirming and want to see you let go of control. It's doing you good."
