The Prince and the Robin

chapter 13 - tell him?

3rd POV

Craig sighed in frustration. He was already stressed about the situation with his mother and didn't want to deal with Molly's constant insults

Craig: "Look, I didn't come here to argue with you about my looks. I need to talk to Tweek, it's important."

he glanced over at Tweek, trying to silently tell him that they needed to talk privately.

Tweek: "uhm..Moles, can you let me and craig talk privately?"

she then nods and then leaves the scene

Craig let out a small sigh of relief as Molly left the clearing. He looked over at Tweek, his face serious

Craig: "Alright, we can talk now. I need to tell you something important."

Tweek: "Right, um..can you put me down?"

Craig nodded and carefully put Tweek down, making sure he was steady on his feet

Craig: "Alright, you good?"

Tweek: "Yep."

Craig nodded and then took a deep breath

Craig: "Alright, so... I need to tell you something important. Something serious."

he paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts

Craig: "My mother, she..."

he could feel the anger and frustration building as he thought about the events of the previous night

Craig: "She plans to start a war, Tweek. She wants to go to war with the fae. I overheard her talking to some of her advisors, and I couldn't just stay quiet. I had to come and warn you."

he looked at Tweek, his expression earnest

Craig: "I know my mother, Tweek. She's stubborn, ruthless, and unpredictable. Once she sets her mind on something, there's no stopping her."

he clenched his fists, trying to keep his emotions in check

Craig: "And if she starts a war, I don't know what will happen. People will get hurt. A lot of people."

Tweek: "Again?..."

Craig: "What do you mean "again?""

Tweek: "Oh! Did I say again?! I meant uhh um..."

Craig raised an eyebrow, confused by Tweek's sudden change of tone. He took a step closer to him

Craig: "Wait, Tweek. You know something, don't you?"

Tweek: "Wha-what?! No! No, I don't! Um, I should get going.."

Craig reached out and grabbed Tweek's wrist, stopping him from walking away

Craig: "Whoa, wait just a second. You're not going anywhere. Not until you tell me what you know."

Tweek: "I'm not saying anything!"

Craig tightened his grip on Tweek's wrist as his frustration grew

Craig: "Tweek. I'm serious. You know something, and I need to know what it is. This is bigger than just you or me. People's lives could be in danger."

Tweek: "I know, but this secret is something you shouldn't be hearing!"

Craig leaned in closer, his eyes narrowing

Craig: "What the hell do you mean?"I shouldn't be hearing"?! This is about my mother, and therefore, it involves me!"

Tweek: "Ah! Shit shit! Um!"
