Coming For The Crown

Six

My father snaps around to see Elliot holding his arm. I could see scariness written all over his face. I could tell Elliot was begging my father not to tell me what it was with his eyes. My father face softens seeing his eyes, I look back at Havery he had his face down. I look at my father and Elliot, they were looking at me. 

Elliot stepped forward; I could tell he was thinking about what to say. He looks down like he was scanned the floor, some of his hair fell in front of his face. He rakes the hair back and looks dead in my eyes, "I am bringing someone here. This person is very sick and is also very important to me. Only your doctors could help them, I need..." He looks down like he trying to control his emotions, I wonder maybe is a little sibling that no one knew of; "I need her alive." His voice cracks when he said her. He looks at me, I could see the tear threating to come out of his eyes. I move out Havery's arms, closer to Elliot. 

I know he still an enemy, but whoever this girl he would give his life for. "Plese... let my bring her here for treatment." He says while looking in his eyes to see all his emotions. I have to be fair about this. "You can bring her here and get her treated, but once she gets better, I want to meet her." I say while watching his light up. He nods his head, "Of course." He says before turning and looking at my father. I decide to check on my lover, I look at him to see his head still lowered like he trying to keep his eyes from meting my father or Elliot. 

I look back at father to see him patting Elliot on the back if a soft smile. "If she is anything like you, she will make it." I hear my father whisper to him. She is family, now I'm even more invested in meeting her.  I see him nod his head before leaving to just to pack for a day or leave. I look at my father, he looks at me I could see he still had anger in his eyes. "Father, I'm sorry. But after he hurt Audrey, I didn't like him. I expect the worst out of him." I explain to my father, he shakes his head while looking away. I could see my father was biting back a fight. 

  He just looks at me then he looks at Havery and shakes his head. He looks me in the eyes, "You need to find out what kind of people you want to be in your life as you rule." With that he left. I look back at my lover who is looking at the door with anger. I can't deal with him right now; I sigh and walk out of my room. I head walk straight to a room that I know way too much. I get to the door, this room was Jonah's before he moved into a home that is bigger than the normal home, but still smaller than the castle. His home is just down the path a little, I go to his house when I can.   

I open the door of Jonah's old room, I came here when I had a nightmare, I came here when I needed away from life. I never went to my parents due to them being king and queen, I always went to Jonah. Even now, I will sometimes go to him. That is a secret that no one, not even Ash, Mia, and Havery know. I walk in to see my siblings already there, even Jonah with his wife and kids. "I figured you would need me, when I saw what happened at the gate." Jonah says with a soft smile. 

I look around the room, at all my siblings including my sister-in-law and at my nieces and nephew. I look back at Jonah he has his hands wide open for me. I ran to him and let out all my emotions, I am in my older brother's arms I didn't care what other people think. As quickly he closed his arms, I felt the rest of them hug us in one big group hug. Just like the ones we all used to do when we were little, but this time it there are a few more family members who make it more special.  Even queens need to cry sometimes, we just don't show it. 

After a while we all slowly pulled apart. I told them what has happened over the last cople of weeks, after we all departed from the hug. They understood my point of view, but they understood dad's as well. I figure Audery wouldn't speak on the matter, but she proves me wrong. "I think people can change, and maybe he has changed. Get to actually know him, get to know who he is now not the eight-year-old boy he used to be." Audery says while moving her shoulders. I nod my head, I guess if she can see past the past then I will too. 

I look outside to see that it is dark outside, meaning its nighttime. I look at my nieces and nephew, I refuse to make them walk outside in the dark. "Jonah, Elsie, I wish for you to stay the night. I don't want those three walking out there at night, even if you live right next to the castle." I say while standing up form sitting on the floor and walking over to Jonah's old bed. The servants had up a white cloth on it, so dust doesn't it get on it. "We could have a sleep over!" Blaine yells, we all laugh at him. Blaine being the youngest out of five, meant that he got a lot of attention. 

He is five years younger than me, making him 11 years younger than Jonah, and that means he is fourteen-year-old. He has the least amount of presser on him than the rest of us, even Annette who is two years older than him. Audrey and Annette are a year apart, and the closes out of all of us even more than Jonah and me. 

I look at Jonah, he is looking at me smiling. We have the same idea, "Pillow fight!" Him and me yell as we grab pillows off the bed that I uncovered. Us screaming that led to covers being pulled and pillows being found. We were all just having fun, laughing, and smiling. I decide to go help my nieces, Kate and Ruby. Kate is the oldest of the three, by a minute. Kate and her brother, Lewis are twins. They are four, ten years younger than my little brother and their uncle.  As for Ruby she is 2, so she needed help which we were all giving her. 

By the end of the night, we were all laughing and smiling, but all of us were ready for bed. I looked at my family in the room with me. They are the reason I want kids; I want to be able to have my own kids and have them grow up with Jonah's kids. I just have to wait until Havery proposes, which I feel like will never come anymore. I decide not to think about it and close my eyes to the world of dreams.
