guarded by ghouls [g.b.c.]

twenty-nine.

ifrit shot up from the couch as flynn rider swung with rapunzel's hair from the cliff, getting hit in the gut with the water mill.

"what? what's wrong?" y/n asked. "i.. i have to go. i'll be right back." ifrit said, stumbling over alpha's legs before he was out of the common room, closing the door behind him.

"well then." chair stated.

ifrit panted slightly as he went over a conversation he had with y/n hours after the super moon ended.

a conversation where he spoiled the secret of 'ghost.'

"papa hasn't told you?" ifrit asked. "um.. i don't think so..?" y/n trailed off. "we have a band." ifrit stated. "well obviously if you have a whole room for it." y/n chuckled. "no, y/n- we have a band. like, one that goes on tours and publishes albums and stuff like that." ifrit exaggerated.

y/n paused.

"what?"

mountain, dew, and rain are gonna be so mad... ifrit thought to himself.

"PAPA!" he yelled, barging into the band room. the ghoulettes yelped as copia whipped his head around, looking at ifrit.

though, ifrit's eyes landed on mountain, dew, and rain who were all hugging.

"ifrit?" papa called, gaining the ghoul's attention. ifrit looked over. "what's wrong?" copia asked.

"after the super moon was over i told y/n about ghost." ifrit swallowed harshly, watching dew tense from the corner of his eye.

"you what." mountain deadpanned.

"i found her in this room, she was playing guitar, she asked why this room was here, i told her. i didn't know that you guys wanted to keep it a secret, i swear." ifrit explained, desperation in his voice.

"but you hypnotized her!" ifrit exclaimed, looking over at papa. "did.. did that do something?" ifrit trailed off.

copia sighed, "it may have. but i cannot be sure." "ifrit, i swear to satan if you ruined this-" dew grumbled, his mouth being covered by rain so he wouldn't say something stupid. "i'm sorry, dew." ifrit frowned.

"what if we just mention ghost or something? see if she remembers?" swiss offered. papa shook his head, "that may trigger the memory if i did, in fact, bury it." copia explained.

"what if it was subtle?" aether asked. copia hummed, nodding softly as he thought it over.

ifrit could feel the glare that he was getting from dew, mountain a bit angry himself though he held it together.

"maybe. ifrit, did you tell her about any songs?" copia asked. ifrit shook his head. copia nodded, "then a subtle comment should be fine. if she remembers, think loudly so aether can hear you." copia tried to be funny at the end, though he just sounded awkward.

"thank you, papa," ifrit bowed before rushing out of the band room.

"i'm gonna kill him." dew growled as he swatted rain's hand from his mouth. "no you won't." rain rolled his eyes.

"Y/N!" ifrit yelled as he barged into the common room, making me jump.

"yes..?" i trailed off.

"ghost." ifrit stated, alpha tensing slightly.

"ghost?" i asked. ifrit nodded, "ghost."

i snorted slightly, "it's a bit past halloween, ifrit. are you okay?" i asked. ifrit sighed in relief, walking further into the room and closing the door.

"i'm fine."
