Love me tender

A turn for the worst?

《Y/n POV》

A loud bang woke me up, nearly sending me tumbling to the floor.
My eyes shot to the door where the loud bangs were coming from. "There's no way in hell you're getting in here you asshats!" I yelled with a smile on my face. It went quiet after that, but only for a moment. "Y/n we all need to talk I know you're behind that wall! Something's happened to us! I...we...Senri must have turned us into monsters somehow! Please princess! There's got to be a way to fix this!" Tatsuki pleaded. "Well, it serves you right you're all monsters! You wouldn't be here, and neither would I if you had just minded your own damn business!" I shouted back I was now sitting up with my arms crossed. "Please I'm begging you we are all fucking terrified we just want to get a grip on what's just happened..." Against my better judgment I slowly approached the door and opened it slowly. Tatsuki immediately pulled me into his arms. I couldn't help but take in his scent. 'God damn he smells good.' "Oh thank God! You're unharmed and still just as gorgeous." He says letting me go. My eyes must've been as wide as saucers when I got a good look at what Tatsuki had become. "What in the holy hell is this?!" I gasped. "You think you're confused; I'm confused! Look at me! I'm a freak!" Tatsuki exclaimed as he dragged me downstairs.

Minion followed us hot on our trail, her tail perked up high. "Now promise don't freak out when you see some of us okay princess?" I nodded and kept my head down. We soon reached the living room and let me tell you I was Not prepared for what I saw, if my jaw wasn't attached it would've hit the floor.

《Third Person POV》

The boys immediately perked up at the sight of the girl. Tatsuki pulled her close and whispered in her ear. She shyly nodded before walking up to Senri. "Look Doll I know that this must-" A loud smack echoed through the room. "That was for trapping me in that terrible room, and don't any of you worry you're all getting one. Except Ichigo." Senri's glasses were knocked askew as his piercing red eyes bore into her e/c ones. He sighed before fixing his glasses and spoke with a slightly somber tone. "Okay I may have deserved that, but don't think for a second that I or any of us regret that decision. Now Sit we all need to talk about what we are going to do next." She sighed and resigned herself to one of the comfy armchairs. "Wait. Where's Travis?" Y/n asked looking around the room. Ichigo walked over to Y/n and sat at her feet his head resting on her leg. He gave a relaxed sigh when she didn't try and push him away. "He's locked himself in his room don't know how he managed it considering his hands are too big for the handle." Ichigo mumbled before closing his eyes. "What happened to him? What do you mean his hands are too big?" She asker looking at each of the boys with a worried expression. "He's turned into some kind of beast...we don't know what to do. That's one of the things we all need to discuss." Senri said sitting on the couch next to Tatsuki and Zen. "First we need to discuss what happened and how we got here. Y/n what did your staff do?" Senri asked seriously. "My staff is now broken thanks to you. So we are stuck here until I can fix it. Secondly it's probably when I called you all monsters so when that explosion happened it must've done something." She said with slight contempt. "I-I think I understand. The staff m-must've turned us into the creatures w-we most resemble." Zen said. "You might be right Zen; I think when Y/n called us monsters it literally turned us into them." Senri agreed. "Now that that's covered, we need a way to fix that staff and get home so that way all of us are human again and Y/n is safe." Ichigo said while looking up at Y/n. "Define safe." She asked. "He obviously means back home and safe with us princess." Tatsuki gave a bright smile. "Yeah, no that's not safe." She grumbled sinking in her chair.

"Look, I know that you're upset and don't want to be here, but you will soon enough. You'll learn to love us as much as we love you." Senri said as the rest nodded. She scoffed. "Unlikely." "Well, c'mon Y/n you and I have some work to do." Senri said in a matter-of-fact tone as he clasped his hands together. "If you think I'm letting you near my staff again you're nuts." Y/n snapped. "Okay then look at this way, what choice have you got?" Senri smirked. "I had the chance to read all those books of yours, and I honestly doubt you've read them all, you need me doll." Y/n sighed and looked away her face shrouded in deep thought. "Fine, but only because it's really my only option." Senri smiled and pinched her cheek lovingly before having his hand smacked away. "I want to see Travis first before we get started." She said standing up. "Of course doll, but I don't think he wants to see anyone right now." Senri said stepping aside. 

《Y/n POV》

"Travis." I said softly as I gently knocked on the door. I jiggled the doorknob but as Ichigo had said he had locked himself in. "Please try and open the door. The guys told me what happened. I'm not afraid if that's what you're worried about." I said as I kept trying the door. I heard shuffling and the lock slowly being turned. I tried to keep any facial expression to a minimum as I was met with a giant pair of soft icy blue eyes. Travis had transformed into some type of bear-like creature. Tears had clearly been pouring down his face. "Oh Travis." I said walking in and closing the door. "What...happened...to me?" He said in a deep rumbling voice, he sounded so different. I put a hand on his cheek as I spoke. "My staff may have cursed all of you. Senri was trying to take my staff away from me and I called all of you monsters and...it made a huge explosion of light; I assume you can figure out what happened after that. But I swear I never meant for this to happen to any of you, regardless of what you all have done." I said sadly. "I...know...you didn't mean to...Y/n." Travis said as more tears ran down his face. Before I could stop myself, I threw my arms around his large fuzzy neck as tears began to pour down my cheeks as well. "I'm so sorry Travis. I'm going to fix this I swear." I sobbed. "I know you will." He said gruffly as he put a large paw on my lower back. His breathing had slowed down as I held him and as I began to pull away, he started slowly transform into himself again.

 "I don't understand. It's not a permanent change?" He asked looking at me. "I-I don't know. Maybe it's got something to do with your emotions. Like the Hulk." I said blushing. He was wearing a very ripped pair of shorts and a nearly destroyed shirt. "You're not upset with me? I'm honestly surprised all of you are almost if not completely fine with what happened." I sniffed as I wiped the tears off my face. "Upset? Y/n you helped me come back to myself, even if it's only temporary. I know you'll fix this, and if I'm honest I don't think any one of us could really be upset or angry with you. It was an accident. And I know that being here isn't really what you want." He said pulling me into another hug. "I love you. We all do and for better or worse, we won't leave your side." Travis pulled me into a deep kiss, my mind had gone blank as I began to feel what I had tried to bury and forget. The way he smiled, the way he made me feel safe, and the way I loved him. I felt myself falling into his warm embrace once more. He held me so gently, so lovingly as if I were made of glass. A part of me missed kissing him because of this feeling. It's something I could never really describe with any words other than it being otherworldly. I almost lost myself in the moment had it not been for the memories that had resurfaced after those feelings had calmed down. Flashes of him and Regina hit my mind like boulders crashing into the water. I pushed him away and without another word I left back to my room. 

My breath was ragged as I clutched my chest. My cheeks were now swimming with hot tears as I slowly slid down to the floor. "Not again, not ever again." I breathed. I quickly dried my face with my sleeve.
