Chapter 6: Dominos fall
<Rayleigh's POV>
It was hard to watch. The two people who I loved more than anything fighting and not talking to one another. But more than that, he couldn't get what you'd said out of his mind.
"You two have each other! You get love each other, and understand each other and grow old with one another. I can NEVER have that! I had one moment of weakness! And I am sorry! I'll go back to being the miserable obedient little witchlet that does everything she's told and never step out of the line again! I'll obey your every fucking command your majesty. But you are not allowed in my greenhouse ever again!"
He loved Shakky he did. But sometimes her fear and how she reacted to it, often meant her taking it out on Y/N. That he didn't like. As a High Witch, she had to have control. But Y/N as a Witch of Life she understood that nature would take its course and, despite being a witch, she had no control over the earth or its inhabitants. It drove Shakky nuts. She had to be able to control everything. Even after 309 years, she still couldn't let her controlling tendencies go. They were going to drive away Y/N one day, if they weren't already.
"You went too far Shakky." He finally said after several moments of silence. She turned to him, fury in her eyes.
"Are you serious? We could get caught! We could be tortured and killed! She didn't think about any of that? I remind her and you tell me that I went too far?!"
The temperature in the room grew but after 200 years plus together, he no longer was intimidated by it.
"That's all she thinks about. All. The. Time. She can't even let her powers go all out, if she did, one it could kill her and two she could regrow all the dead forests and still die. She has to be able to release her powers or have them drained in other ways. And whether you like it or not, one of those ways is sex. I don't like the idea of a boy's hands on my niece, believe me I don't. But you need to start getting over it. And actually talk to her, not at her. Whether you like it or not, she is your equal, not just because she's family but because she is just as, if not more powerful than you."
The look that flashed across Shakky's face made him sigh. Shakky had been the one everyone went to, who everyone obeyed, but she was jealous of Y/N, which was ridiculous. Witches were meant to celebrate each other, not try to get one over the other. Shakky's sister River, always had to remind Shakky of that.
"You may be a high witch Shakky! But that doesn't mean you are more important than anyone else. Without even the youngest witch, you would be nothing! You are meant to protect, and give advice not rule over. I will marry who I want! So fuck off!"
It was moments like this that Rayliegh really missed River, she was the only one who could bring Shakky back down to Earth and give her not so gentle reminders of her place and what she was actually meant to do. It was because of River that their coven, or most of them were able to escape the hunters, Y/N had cried for months after that day. Calling out for River in her sleep, crying her eyes out. Shakky while she wasn't a real affectionate woman, had held her close those nights, cooing her back to sleep.
"I know your scared love. Believe me I understand. But we can't live our lives everyday afraid. Vigilant yes. But not afraid. You need to let Y/N breath, or one day she will suffocate and we will lose her for good. Either to a man, or she will simply run away."
Shakky stormed out, presumably to try to get into the greenhouse. When she went to it, to find it locked, she attempted to de-charm it, but due to Y/N's intense emotions and anger right now, she wouldn't be able to unlock it unless Y/N herself let her in or got rid of the charm herself. He watched as the love of his life, walked towards the city, more than likely to calm down, with her powers starting to leak from her pores, and he highly doubted she'd want him to touch her right now.
Rayliegh went to the greenhouse and was surprised to find he could still get into it. He smiled ruefully, and let himself in. That damn grumpy rabbit was cuddled next to his sleeping niece, and he quickly took out his phone and took a photo. The noise caused the rabbit to jump up, and glare at him. He didn't even know that rabbits could glare.
"Sorry old man. It was too precious not to take a photo, and she would never believe me that you actually like her."
If the rabbit could flip him off, Rayliegh felt that he would. He hopped away, and went to the tree where Y/N had made sure the tree was hallowed out at the bottom for when he wanted to sleep here.
"I'm sorry little witch. Forgive her. She's not used to things not going her way. And you've been leashed a little too tightly. But a werewolf really?" He chuckled. His friend had mated to a she-wolf, and he used to say how sexually active she was, and after she'd marked him, his libido increased as well. The stories always made Rayliegh laugh. "I love you baby girl. I'll stay with you until you wake up."
Rayliegh jolted awake when he heard a hard knock at the door. He turned to see a young man with short blonde hair when he noticed the time he was shocked at how late it had gotten. Rayliegh went to the door. And noticed the glow to his eyes.
"Can I help you young werewolf?"
"Uhhhh, well I was wondering if Y/N was here?"
Rayliegh turned to see his niece still sleeping. He smiled and motioned with his thumb at her. Before anything else, the pup ran into the room and bent down to sniff her.
"Fuck! Shit!" He heard the pup say, and by the tone of his voice, it wasn't anything good.
"What? What is it?"
"Uhhhhhh....well...my brother he's an incubus...he kinda sorta, ah...imprinted on your niece..."
Rayleigh shoved the poor kid out of the way and saw a mark, it was a wing behind her ear. Not very noticeable. That meant that she had accepted the incubus and allowed him to enter her dreams.
"Fuck!"
"But don't worry, he's not feeding off her energy sexually."
Now Rayliegh was confused.
"What do you mean? That's literally what incubi do."
"Luffy doesn't even know what sex is."
Rayliegh must've heard wrong.
"I'm sorry what?"
"Luffy he doesn't know anything about sex. He feeds off positive energy. So it's all good. The mark will disappear after a week."
How does an incubus not know anything about sex?
"Why doesn't he know anything about sex?"
"Trying to tell Luffy anything about anything is rather difficult. That lesson would've needed visual aids."
"And you've never heard of porn before?"
"Why would I watch porn with my brother?"
Are these kids stupid! Do they understand how dangerous their brother could become if he doesn't do what his nature needs him to do?
"Young man we need to have a serious talk. But with your guardian present. Call them. Now."
The werewolf jolted at Rayliegh's silent command. While he couldn't manipulate like Shakky he could borrow her gift in emergency situations and this indeed was an emergency. River used to have a saying when multiple bad things happen.
"Once one domino falls, it's impossible for the rest to stay standing."
Shakky is going to be so pissed.
