The Eternal sleep

Part Three

Juna Hart

When Caleb told her that Mona was in a deep sleep she wasn't going to wake up from, she couldn't believe it, Mona was such an amazing person, why would anyone want to hurt her. Juna was tasked with telling Virgil the plan, and that Momo was injured. She didn't know how this was going to go, Momo was one of Virgil's best friends, as well as Caleb. She walked down the hall towards the castle doors, pushing them open and walking out into the bustling village ruled by the clan Inferno.  

She sighed softly as she rushed to the stables to grab a horse, she had to journey to the Clan village of Boistra, where Virgil Boistra was living with his family. She saddled her horse and climbed on, starting to ride through the streets, she quickly exited the village and started to ride faster towards the village Boistra. the journey would be about a two hour journey so she needed to ride quick, the prince needed Virgil in order to save Mona, she would deliver. 

Virgil Boistra

Virgil was sitting in his room, he could hear his dad harping about something downstairs, he stood up from his window seat and started to pace around his room, eventually sitting on his bed, laying his top half on the bed. All he could think about was going over and staying a few nights at Calebs village but he had restrictions put on him by his father, because apparently there was a woman running around killing people, they had named her the Red Queen.

he knew if he told him he was gay he'd disown him, he just didn't know the right time to tell him. He didn't just want to show up at Caleb's village and tell him his dad disowned him, but he was worried that was what he might have to do. His father's temper was getting bad, he was irritable and diving deeper and deeper into tyranny. 

He sat up as he heard his father yell for him, he groaned softly, what did he want now, he slowly stood up and walked out of the room. "Yes father?" he asked as he walked down the stairs, seeing a pink haired girl next to his father. "Someone is here and needs to speak to you" he grumbled, Juna, what was she doing here, why was she here. His father left them to talk, Virgil looked at Juna with a curious look. 

"What are you doing here, Juna" he asked her, gesturing towards the chairs. "No no Virgil i'm okay" she breathed in deeply. "Mona is sick and Caleb is determined to find a cure for her, he needs your help" she said softly. "We need to leave soon if we're going to reach the village by day" she said looking at him, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "What ails her?" he asked looking at Juna with a sorrowful look. "Valerian root, a lethal dose, she's stuck in an eternal slumber" 

He nodded slowly and gestured her to lead the way, he wasn't going to sit idly by as one of his best friends was in an eternal slumber, She nodded and looked around. "What about your father?" she asked looking at him. "Let me handle it" he said softly, starting to walk towards where he saw his father go, he pushed open the doors to the throne room, staring up at his father as he walked in. "Father i must leave, my friends need me" his father looked down at him with glaring eyes. 

"No! you are to stay here in the castle where it is safe" Virgil growled lowly. "I am old enough to make my own decisions and i am choosing my friends life over your tyrannical rule" his father shot up from his chair hissing. "If you walk out that door you better not come back!" the man growled, Virgil smirked. "Cool, i'll go pack my bags, and for the record, i'm gay" he said turning around and walking out of the throne room, hearing one last shout. "You better not come back boy!" 

"Oh trust me i won't" he muttered as he walked out and towards Juna. "How did it go with your father" she whispered. "Oh he just told me not to come back, but that's okay" he walked up the stairs with her heading towards his room. "I'm sorry" she said softly. "Don't be, i hated it here" he said as he packed a duffel bag full of clothes and his most important belongings, he threw it over his shoulder and started to walk out of the castle, when he got downstairs, he pushed the doors open and walked out, towards the stables to get his horse, and soon enough they were on the road towards the village of Inferno.
