DarkHearts: "Jay you magic works in there so you're coming with us." His eyes widened and fear shook him to his core, Jazzy scared him almost as much as Ella. "We can't fail. We don't have much time."

~~~Now~~~

As Night fell upon Agraba Carlos waited for hours for his queen to fall asleep, she had been doing rituals and practicing spells all day and he was hoping she wouldn't go all night.

Around one thirty AM she left her room and made her way to Carlos' where he was on his laptop in bed reading about how to care for birds.

Jazzy came up behind him running her hands over his shoulders into a hug from behind, "Hey."

He looks up and notices that the mind mangle is still affecting her, so he wasn't too hype to see her, "Hello." He scrolls through another article not paying her much attention.

She kisses his temple, "I got you something." He looks at her through the corner of his eye and sees her tapping her leg. "I know you're still mad at me for Juniper, and I can't bring her back, but I did get Stella and Luna's father." A big white wolf as opposed to Juniper who was black and gray. "There's also connections to the rest of the litter. If you want them, just blow this whistle." She placed it in front of him.

She made a show of moving his laptop and sitting on his lap just like she always did and gave him a kiss on the lips as if trying to reign him back in. He knew the tactic; it was made for a little boy who knew no love. A little boy so entranced and intoxicated by the idea of love and companionship that he took all he could get.

Carlos wasn't that little boy anymore he wouldn't be her pawn, but she couldn't know that. Not yet, so he played along, he placed one hand on her waist pulling her closer and the other on the back of her neck. Gil was going to kill him if he saw this. The boy would never admit it to anyone, but he felt the most like himself in that moment, like he had grown into himself. He was playing her he was moving the pieces on the board as she sat idly by unaware.

For once in his life Carlos felt like the superior VK. Like he was the one at the top of the world because right now in this very moment, He wasn't under Jazzy's control, she was under his. He could feel her magic burning under her skin, he could see a million of her crazed thoughts run through her head. She had left herself open allowing Carlos to see and feel everything she was thinking.

She pulled away breathless and surprised, he made a show of smiling and touching her forehead to his. She smiled, interlocking her fingers behind his neck and leaning into his shoulder, closing her eyes and allowing herself to drift off. The last thing she said before the void of beauty that was sleep took her was, "You really are my king." She kissed his neck then was claimed by Hypnos.

Carlos' smile fell as she drifted off, He picked her up to bring her to her bed only to see Gil and Jane in his doorway. Jane had tears streaming down her face like rivers, Gil's fist was clenched and a glare on his face. He had never seen the happy go lucky son of Gaston so angry, "Hey."

Gil stepped forwards but Jane held him back pointing to the sleeping girl in his arms. Carlos walks past them not trying to wake Jazzy. He kicks her door open and kneels down placing her in bed. He moves her hair away from her face, suddenly he's pulled up and whipped around by an angry Gil who pulls him from the room.

"What the heck man gets off of me!" Carlos snapped once they were outside.

Carlos was slammed into the wall, and he could now hear ringing in her ears, "Gil get off of him!" Jane yelled pulling on his jacket, it didn't help that Gil was twice her size and was bigger than Harry in the way of mussel.
