Run

Ninety one

He laughs. W-What do I do? Maybe I can try mind messaging Philip for help? Philip breaks the door down. I jump a little.
"Stop!" He shouts jumping in front of me.
Oh my god!
"Hm?"
"If you do this you'll be making a powerful enemy... one who will surely find out the truth."
I look down.
"Let them go."
How did he even know we were here?
"I knew you'd do this!"
I look down.
"Just let them go!"
I-I don't think he's going to let us go.
"Fine."
I back up.
"But you stay here forever."
"Okay. I'm making sure they're taken to safety though."
W-What? Philip looks at me smiling softly. I look down. He makes me look at him. He kisses my lips. I blush.
"That was the secret...I love you."
"Oh wow. I-I don't know what to say."
He nods. He kisses me again. I continue the kiss. He lets go. I look down again.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Not meeting you under better terms," he says, "... it's time for you to return to freedom."
I start crying.
"Goodbye."
We appear at home. Daddy runs to scoop up us. I hug him. Manuel falls asleep. I feel tired. I fall asleep.

Hyunjin's POV

I see that Philip in the dungeon. He hasn't spoken a word. I wouldn't have realized him without those blue eyes. I sigh. He doesn't even look up. I look away. I hear something cut followed by a crazed fit of laughter. I look around. I see him now with a large cut watching himself bleeding. Oh my god. It makes me actually feel bad for him. Should I try to convince the king to let him go? He tried to commit treason.... I look down. I walk past his cell.
"Hello... former best friend," he mumbles not looking up.
"Former best friend? I barely know you!"
"..."
He's gone back to making wounds on his arms. I look away.
"His control over all of us is powerful. I don't know why I tried to make you remember me... pretty soon I won't even remember my own name... if things ever restore to normal I'll leave going back there to live alone in peace... I won't stay here... I'm desperate trying to hold onto the two things that mean the most to me."
I sigh.
"...How old am I? Why am I in a cell?"
That's kinda weird.
"Why does this feel so good?" He asks continuing to cut himself.
What a weirdo.
"Where do I sleep? Who are you?"
"You're weird."
"Is that my name?"
"Yes!" I giggle.
"Okay what's your name?"
"I'm Hyunjin!"
"Nice to meet you. Where am I? And why am I here?"
"You're in the dungeons because you committed treason!"
"What does dungeons mean? And what is treason?"
"Ugh! Why are you dumb!"
He looks down sadly. I go to walk away.
"Why did she call me dumb? I think I'm ten right?"
"That's why you're dumb."
"But I'm not dumb!"
"You don't know your own age!"
He starts crying.
"Now you're acting like a baby!"
"Be quiet towards the child, he doesn't remember anything."
"Whatever!" I walk away.
"King's orders," the guard says.
I nod. He looks adorable. I giggle. He looks down. I look away.
"What's going on?" He asks cutely.
"Nothing."
"Okay?" He asks cutely.
I look around.  He looks down.

Three weeks later

... it's not as nice anymore...

Heejin's POV

I wake up. I look around. Daddy runs into the room. He hugs Manuel and me.
"You've been unconscious for three weeks," he says softly.
I've been unconscious for three weeks?
"Both of you have."
I wonder why. I look down. Manuel groans softly. 
"I'm tired," he groans softly.
I look at him. Is he ok?
"Are you okay?" Daddy asks.
"I think so, I'm mostly tired."
I stretch.
"I'm just glad you're both okay," Daddy says. Manuel looks away. I look down. Daddy notices our expressions then asks, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing Nothing."
Manuel doesn't say anything. Daddy hugs us both. I hug him back.
"Whenever you get ready to tell me let me know."
I nod. I-I don't know if I should tell him.
"Our friend... he's in trouble."
I nod.
"We'll help him."
Should I tell him we kissed too?
"Wait what?"
"Huh?"
"You kissed this boy?"
I nod.
"Aww," Daddy says softly.
I look down.
"Don't worry we'll help him, okay?"
I nod. He gently kisses my forehead. I hug him.
"Your highness!" A servant shouts.
Why is a servant shouting? He runs in carrying a form. It looks kinda like Manson. Omg what happened to him?
"Who is this boy?"
"We don't know. We found him in the snow shouting the names of the Prince and Princess."
"That's our friend's brother!"
"Hm?" Daddy says. The servant lays down the boy.
"His name is Manson."
"Okay," Daddy says. Manson turns over but is still unconscious. I look down.
"Take him to a room and care for him. Let us know when he wakes up."
"Of course, Your Highnesses."
I sigh. The servant picks him up. I hope he's ok! He leaves the room. I shiver a little. Daddy adds a blanket over us.
"Daddy can we help him now?"
"Let's see what his brother says first but regardless I am going to help him."
I nod. I lay down.
"Just rest for now."
I nod.
"Daddy, can I have a stuffed animal?"
He hands me my favorite butterfly stuffed animal Mommy gave me. I take it from him.
"Thanks daddy!"
"Of course, Sweetie."
I hug him. He gently hugs back. I cuddle my stuffed animal. Manuel smiles weakly. I look up at him. He looks back. I sigh. He kisses my forehead then turns to Daddy. He asks, "Can we get something to eat?"
"They're cooking it right now."
I nod.
"Okay thank you, Dad," Manuel says cutely.
I smile. Manuel nestles back under the blankets. I snuggle my stuffed animal. Daddy smiles and sits beside us. I smile back. He hugs us. We hug him back. He smiles. A servant comes back with three bowls of soup. We eat.
"Can I have something to drink please?"
They reveal that they also got us drinks. I take a sip of mine. It's good and refreshing. I giggle. Manuel eats softly. I continue eating. After finishing, he sits up. I look over.
"I'm a walk around a bit."
I nod.
"You want to come?"
"Sure!"
We get up. I put down my stuffed animal. I put on my heels. We start walking.
"You know if we go to help him we should wear our battle armor."
I nod. He hugs me tightly as we continue walking. I hug him back. He kisses my forehead as we continue to walk on. I look around.
"I hope he's okay."
"Me too! I also miss him so much."
"I'm worried about both of them."
"I hope they're ok!"
He nods. We find a room. He peeks in.
"What's in it?" I whisper.
He opens the door and we see Manson. Is he ok? He's sleeping. Manuel walks into the room. I follow. The servant is cleaning quietly. I see that she has feed him. I smile.
She turns and smiles.
"Hello, Your Highnesses!"
"Hi!"
"How is he?"
"He's sleeping peacefully, my prince."
"So he's going to be ok?" I ask.
"As far as we know, my Princess."
"That's great!"
She nods gently. I look at him. Manuel smiles softly then kisses my forehead. I smile back.
"Thank you for letting us know."
"Yeah!"
We leave the room. He sighs softly. I look over.
"I'm glad he's okay."
"Me too!"
He smiles softly. I smile back. We suddenly hear Manson shouting. What is he shouting at?
"I don't know but let's find out!"
I nod. We go in the room. We find him holding a wand at the obviously frightened servant. Manuel jumps in between them.
"Woah! Woah! Calm down, buddy!"
Manson upon recognizing Manuel lowers the wand. Why was he pointing a wand at our servant?
"It's all right you're safe," Manuel continues.
"Just recognized that," Manson says before collapsing to his knees.
I sigh. He's shaking like a leaf and so is she. Oh my god. They both seem frightened!
"Are you okay?"
"I was just startled, my prince."
"She scared the shit out of me."
"Sorry I didn't mean to."
"Yeah and my shouting probably didn't help."
Wow they basically scared each other!
"Sorry about that."
"It's all right."
I smile. Manuel helps him up. I look around.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Should we tell him where Philip is?
"I know about Philip... probably more than you."
"Oh."
"Yeah... they captured the entire coven and turned all but me to stone. Only reason I got out was because of the eldest witch teleporting me out just in the nick of time."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah."
I look down. He sits down on the bed. I sigh.
"Nngh my knees are still shaking."
"Are you ok?"
"I'm just shaky."
I nod.
"Hey, so where's your dad at?"
"He was in our room the last time I saw him."
"Okay."
Daddy walks in. I smile.
"Ah so I was told correctly."
"Yeah, well, I kinda did scare the poor girl."
I nod.
"Oh."
I hug daddy. He smiles and hugs back.  I look around.
"So are you okay?" Daddy asks.
"Um well as like health yeah but everything else? No hell no."
I sigh.
"Okay then?"
I look over.
"Basically the entire witch coven excluding me was turned to stone, the true king has been turned into something I don't even know how to describe it, and well no one can leave only enter."
Oh my god.
"Okay, well I've been organizing my troops to help rescue the boy who kissed my daughter—"
"The true king."
"Okay."
I giggle.
"Well, then, let me finish getting things prepared."
I nod. Daddy leaves the room. I sigh.
"Well... it's been crazy..."
I nod. He sighs. I look over.
"I'm tired."
I nod. He sits down calmly. I sit down.
"I'm worn out," he says softly.
"Why?"
"All this shit!"
I nod.
"Do you want to see the last thing?"
I nod. He does a spell.

Dream.

Manson wakes up tied up. W-What is "the king" going to do to him? He sighs, he sees Philip. Philip seems to be out of it. Dazed and tired. Is he ok? He moans softly. Manson looks obviously concerned. Why is he moaning? 
"Philip!"
Oh my god. Philip doesn't look up just sways back and forth. What is wrong with him? Yundin walks in smiling. Ugh I hate this weirdo!
"Philip!"
W-What is he gonna do to him? Yundin pulls out a gold crown. Is that his crown? I don't know. What is Yundin going to do with the crown?
"Philip!" Manson shouts.
Is he ok? He looks confused. Why is he confused?
"What's happening?" He asks cutely.
He doesn't know that Yundin is evil?
"Philip?" Manson asks. Philip seems tired. W-Why is he tired? Yundin chuckles, "He's been put under a special trance that makes it hard for him to think."
W-What?
"What?" He asks fearfully.
Wait so he made him dumb? Apparently he was thinking the same thing.
"Haha Yeah. Basically."
Oh my god.
"Now to change him in a way he won't forget."
What's that? He puts the crown on forcing it onto poor Philip's neck. Oh my god. He groans weakly. What did he do to him?
"Everything hurts!" He cries.
Poor thing!
"What have you done to him?!?"
"You'll see," Yundin says laughing.
W-What?
"Nnngh!" Philip groans. 
What is happening?
"Urgh!" He groans. There's something forming under his shirt! W-What's that? Suddenly two large wings rip from his back. They're either butterfly or fairy wings. Oh my god.
"The hell did you do to him?!"
Yeah what did he do to him?
"You'll see very soon."
"Argh! It hurts," he cries.
D-Does it really hurt that bad?
"Nnngh! Stop it!"
Two things pop out of his head. They look cute but I don't know what they are. It's weird. He groans as his eyes go to a gold color. Why is that? He starts to use his wings to hover slightly. What is he doing? He flies towards the entrance of the cell. What is he trying to do?
"You already smell the nectar don't you?"
He's a butterfly?
"Nectar," he moans softly.
That must be antennas on his head! His clothes begin to mold into a flowing tunic topic and similarly styled pants. Oh wow.
"Nectar! Nectar!" He cries.
He really wants nectar.
"Nectar!" He cries again.
Why does he want nectar so badly?
"Nectar!"
Someone needs to get this man some nectar! He opens the door. Philip flutters out looking cute. He's so cute!
"Hehehe."
"Nectar?"
W-What is he gonna do now? He hands Philip a small thing of nectar.
"Mmmm! Good!"
At least he got his nectar. He looks adorable. He must've been really thirsty! His wings get bigger and he gains a little scooper thing. What's happening? He cutely floats around. Why is he floating around? He's using his wings. Does he like them? I can't tell.

Dream ends.

"That's all I really know. He was being strange though."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you saw him. He wasn't acting right."
I nod. He looks adorably at the floor. I look down. He sighs. Daddy walks back in. I look at him.
"Hi sweetie."
"Hi daddy!"
"The armory is waiting for you two," Daddy says. He looks to Manson and adds, "And if you want something you can have it."
I get up. Manuel follows. We follow daddy. He leads us to the armory. I smile. He sighs softly but smiles genuinely. I look around. The guards present our armor. We put on our armor.
"Okay, doesn't fit you too good."
I nod. They start fixing my armor to fit me better. I smile. It fits much better now. Way better! He sighs softly. I look over. He sighs.
"What?"
"Let's hurry."
I nod. The guards are showing Manson things but he doesn't seem interested. I sigh.
He sighs.
"I don't need anything."
I look over.
"Okay."
We start heading there. Daddy scoops me up and puts me on the carriage. I look around. He smiles softy. I smile back. Daddy chuckles.
"What?"
"Nothing."
I nod. He nuzzles me. I smile. Daddy throws both boys up. Daddy throws both boys up. I giggle. We ride out. I sigh. We make it there. I look around. We walk up to the castle. I see a girl. Is that the girl from that one dream? His former best friend? I think so!
