Their unseen life(A Ranger's Apprentice fanfiction)

Halt&Ferris Part 1

A/N So i was reading a bunch of fanfics about the twins and i felt inspired so this is basically about their childhood :D

        When would the whining stop, thought Halt. His mother, Queen Jocelyn of Clonmel, was going into labor with a baby. Halt was desperatley trying to sleep, but Dun Kilty was as drafty and as soundproof as a fence. Halt shoved a pillow around his ears as he tried to go to sleep. Just as he was about to sleep, a servant bursted into his room.

        "Your Majesty!" she said. She bowed deeply. "Queen Jocelyn is finished delivering her baby. You may come visit her if you wish."

        "Yes, of course," Halt replied. He got out of bed to meet his little sibling. He followed the servant to the hospital wing and entered a large warm room. Suprisingly, his twin brother Ferris was already there. 

        "Hello brother," said Ferris. His mother was in the room so Ferris put on his sweet, cheerful, totally not-gonna-kill-for-the-throne attitude. "Would you like to see our baby sister?" Ferris held out his arms, holding a sweet little red faced baby.

        "What's her name?" asked Halt. At six years old, he had already developed his somewhat grim and quiet personality. Being heir to the throne, his parents are naturaly annoyed and want him to be a happy, cheerful king. Halt enjoys annoying them, though.

        "Caitlyn" his mother replied. The baby then gurgled and opened her eyes and smiled. Halt hoped it was going to be a good relationship between the 2 of them.

~~The Next Day~~

                Halt woke up to crying. Not getting lots of sleep yesterday because of visiting Caitlyn, he was in a foul mood. Sadly, he had georgraphy classes. And people think being royalty is all about sitting on a throne and stuffing yourself fat, Halt thought. No one understands how much homework a prince has! As he was hurring to his class, he bumped into Ferris. 

        "What do you want," Ferris asked. Halt had the urge to punch him senseless, he was going to be late. And when he was late, his parents would start arguing. Again.

        "Im going to geo, get out of my way." Halt snapped. 

        "Well go on then, go do your princely things. I'll just be doing things non-heir to the thrones do."

        "You know I don't want the throne," said Halt. Even as young as they were, Halt knew he didn't want the throne when Ferris wanted it. The twins always argued, their age didn't matter in their world.

        "It's not good for our king to be a liar," said Ferris. He shouldered his way to the door. Halt sighed and went on to class.

~~After Class~~

        "So what do you think of her Halt," asked Queen Jocelyn. Halt was finished with his classes and was visiting Caitlyn. 

        "She's cute," said Halt. He didn't want to displease his mother, but he secretley thought it was going to be some time till Caitlyn was the chubby, cute child he expected. Ferris walked in suddenly, and the baby started crying.

        "Ferris," Mom scolded. "You can't make sudden movements in front of Caitlyn! You will scare her!   Halt, take Caitlyn, Ferris come outside with me." 

        "Yes mom," they both said. Halt had no idea how to calm a baby, but he tried his best.

        "Shhshhshhhshhh," he whispered. He had seen some of it when he was in the infirmary sick and say the nurses take care of little babies. He gently rocked her back and forth. "Shshshhhshhh." The crying stopped. "Good girl." She smiled. Halt couldn't help but feel the 2 of them would be bestest of friends.
