After arriving home and Emil still scaring me randomly as his pranks, the two of us ended up relaxing behind the counter while Regina worked on something. As if on some movie/tv show trick, Braughner came walking up to us.
"Hey lady, I want a refund." She told as she placed her bag on the ground.
"Surely, there are nicer ways to tell someone that." I stated.
"Nice to see you too, Braughner." Regina said before going back to what she was doing.
"Lane four is crawling with spiders."
Regina stopped writing and looked up with fear on her face.
"Stop it. You did not see spiders. I will burn this place down." She told as she walked around the counter and stood in front of Braughner pointing at her.
Me and Emil moved near the stairs incase we needed to quickly move to exit the building, due to how scared Regina seemed to be.
"Should we run?" Emil quietly asked
"If she starts setting things on fire I advise we should." I told matching his volume.
"Noted."
"Take it easy." She told as she lowered Reginas hand "My uncle's an exterminator. He says all you gotta do is get rid of the Queen."
"Well actually....." I began only to get cut off.
"Well how do you get rid of the Queen?"
"My father would say you just have to forget her birthday."
"So would mine." I added as we both nodded.
They looked over at us with a confused look which made us realise what was said loud enough for them to hear.
"Because Queen spiders love birthdays." Emil told
"Actually about queen spiders...." I began only to get cut off again.
"Okay." Regina told before looking back at Braughner.
"Wait, I think I heard something." Braughner told
We heard some skittering and I was the only one to not freak out. Regina grabbed ahold of Braughners arm as I could tell she was beginning to panic more.
"And it sounds big..." she continued.
"Do not worry Anna. I will protect you."
"It's not meant to be like this." I stated before trying to continue what I needed to. "Also Emil will you just stop and listen to me for once."
Sadly though that didn't happen due to movement being heard. Regina let go of her arm and grabbed one of the cleaning products as Emil did the same standing next to each other.
"Okay, I can do this. I can do this." Regina kept repeating as they began to move forward slowly towards the couch.
"Emil, there is no such thing as a...." I began to tell only for a large animals to rush past them, causing them to freak out.
"Spider queen!" Emil shouted
They began to spray as they were panicked, making Regina spray Emil in the face which made him roll over the back of the couch and falling to the floor as I covered my mouth in shock. Regina began to scream again and ran straight into a giant web, and she began to run back towards the door making me see the web was rob and that it was in fact a dog who began to lick her leg. I let out a sigh and just shook my head side to side at the fact this was how it turned out.
"It's licking me! Why is the spider queen licking me?"
"As I was trying to say. Spider queens do not exist." I stated as I made my way over to see how bad Emil got sprayed was.
Teddy jumped out from his hiding spot and joined Braughners side. And the two were smiling at this.
"Gotcha! April fools."
"Wait, what?"
Emil sat up and I saw his eyes definitely needed to be washed out. He began to try and place his hands on the table as he spoke.
"Yeah, what?"
I let out a sigh and helped placed his hands on the table to help him know where it was. Braughner walked over with a smile not leaving her face as she picked up the dog.
"Say hello to your worst nightmare, mr.biscuit."
"That's an adorable nightmare." I stated.
"Who's a big scary spider queen? You are. Yes you are!" She told before going back to Teddys side.
"This was a prank?" Emil asked as I ended up helping him finally get on the couch.
'I am going to have to help wash his eyes out.'
"Yup, and it was all me."
I gave him a look and he instantly corrected himself.
"Well, mostly me." He told making me give him another one which made him continue talking. "Mostly Braughner."
"Mostly?" I questioned.
"It was all Braughner." He admitted before he began to smile again. "But now we're even, and I can get back to finishing my project."
"Oh, no no no no no." Regina told as she made her way towards Teddy. "You brought spiders into this."
As Regina moved her arm so she was more free then before, Emil began to get off the couch with me quickly moving to help him since it was my job.
"And we're coming for you. And you won't know when or where."Regina told making Teddy panic.
"Except it will be today. Because it is April fools day." Emil added.
"Your eyes need to be washed out." I told before I began to lead him to the kitchen to do so.
"I can not see a thing."
"Do not open your eyes." I ordered which caused him to nod.
I led him into the kitchen and got him to lean over in the sink and began to use the water to clean his eyes. Of course half way through he began to sound in pain making me pull him up out of panic only for him to laugh in my face.
"April fools." He joked making me throw the towel I had at him.
"That was not funny Emil."
"Oh come on Anna. You've got to laugh."
"I'm done."
"Are you going to prank me now?" He questioned not understanding what I meant.
"No Maxemil. I'm done with this." I told pointing towards the two of us making his smile fall a little as he got confused.
"Done? What do you mean you're done?"
"I'm done with everything. I quit."
"Quit?"
"I quit! You don't listen to me, you do the complete opposite of everything I say. Not to mention all the stupid pranks you've pulled on me today. I quit being your personal guard, Maxemil."
"Wait Anna...."
"No. I no longer have to pretend everything is a okay between the two the two of us. You not listening to me trying to tell you the simple fact that spider Queens do not exist, was what nearly tipped me over the edge. But what you did just now was what did it. Our parents were right. No one is ever able to guard you because you don't care about anyones opinions for your well being but your own. I am done Maxemil. I quit. When we get home, I don't have to be by your side any more. All I have to worry about for the year now is making sure people do not find out who we are."
"No Anna, please wait. Let me make it up to you. I am sorry."
"I'm done with you apologising over and over again only for to never mean it. You can't change my opinion. It's over Maxemil, and I'm just tired." I told before leaving the kitchen so only he was in it now.(Emil p.o.v.)
I watched Anna leave the kitchen, I stood in shock from what just happened.
'I just lost Anna and I do not know how to make it up to her.'
