Come Back to Me || Foxxay

I.) Coming Home

It had only felt like minutes to Misty, but sadly, it had been four years, and she didn't even know it. But when she saw Nan at the entrance of the science room, the pain and grief that resided within her, left. She knew she was saved.

She couldn't have ever prepared herself to see Cordelia again. The woman was the only thing she had thought about, even in the endless loop of her hell. She never got a moment's rest, but still, the woman was ever lingering in her mind.

But, when she saw her old crush, the only woman she had ever felt true love for, her heart melted. She hugged Cordelia tightly, almost tight enough to crush her lungs, but she had missed her so much. She felt the warm embrace of the shorter woman around her, like a loving embrace of a mother after you've been away from home.

"Oh, how I missed ya..." she whispered as she inhaled the familiar floral scent Cordelia always carried.

Cordelia had tears in her eyes as she pulled away just enough to look into those blue hues, she had only dreamed of for the last four years. She cupped Misty's freckled cheek, caressing it softly. "I-I've missed you, too." She looked over at Nan in surprise.

Misty smiled shyly to herself as she pulled away just enough so they two could talk. She spotted a dirty blonde standing by the staircase. She looked familiar, and yet, they had never met before.

"Mallory," the young woman spoke softly, extending her hand out.

"Misty," she said as she shook the offered hand. "Do I know ya?"

"No," Mallory said softly. "But I know you."

Misty's brows furrowed. She looked back to Cordelia, seeing that Nan was gone. She gulped as she looked around. The Coven looked so different. And before she could ask any questions, a flock of girls ran through the hallway.

"No running," Cordelia said.

"Yes, Miss Goode," they all said as they slowed into walking.

"I'll leave you two alone," Mallory said before walking off.

Misty looked at Cordelia with a puzzled gaze.

"Come with me," Cordelia said as she grabbed the younger witch's hand. She took her to their favorite spot, the greenhouse.

Somehow, it was the only room in the house that looked the same. Misty smiled as they walked into the glass building. She started walking around, looking at every single plant there was. Everything from herbs to flowers, and even some vegetables. However, near the back of the building, she spotted two new plants that weren't there before. One was white roses with a plaque stating, "The final resting place of Myrtle Snow. May she always be remembered as a loyal member of the Coven and the Council." And the second was lilacs with another plaque. "The final resting place of Misty Day. May she always be remembered as a bright soul, a loyal member of the original Coven, taken too soon. May she remind us of unconditional love, honor, and power."

Misty's finger traced the words as a tear slipped down her cheek.

"I hope I chose the right flowers," Cordelia said almost shyly.

"Ya did... they're my favorite." Misty sniffled softly as she wiped her tears away. "I would have also loved lavender." She gave a soft smile as she looked back at Cordelia.

In Misty's eyes, the woman still looked perfect in every way possible, but she could tell things were different. Something about her had changed.

She walked over to where Cordelia stood and softly grabbed her hand. "What changed?"

Cordelia grasped Misty's hand, caressing it softly. She sighed as she brought them over to the table to sit down on the stools. "I don't even know where to start." She spoke softly. "For starters, I'm Supreme."
