Glassheart (RedxChloe) Book 1

Chapter 9

"We don't have a choice, Red! We need to get them back to their time before they mess anything up." Chloe goes to Red and holds her hands. "I need you with me on this, please." Red stares at her before caving in. "Damn it..." She silently cursed. "You are so lucky i- let's just do this." Red lets go and walks to her dresser and opens the first drawer. She lifts all her underwear and takes out her pocket watch. A part of Chloe wished she would have finished her sentence. What was she going to say?

"Kids, you're coming with us!" Red tells them. "What? Wait, why?" Cree stands up. "Because i don't trust you two here alone." Red nods for them to join. "But with time travel, you could be gone for years and come back right where you left." Crimson shrugs. "Which is just as bad. Just get your asses over here, now!" "Wait! Do they really have to? I mean, are you positive that they're our kids?" Chloe asks her. Red doesn't say anything. She simply walks to the whiteboard the Chloe put up on their wall a few days ago, to help study, she claimed. She grabs a red marker and she grabs a blue one and begins mixing them. A familiar shade of purple begins to emerge. Chloe looks at the purple on the board and the purple that the twins wear. "Ok, that's it. You're both coming with us." The twins hurry and stand with their moms. It's no doubt Red is more of the tough parent while Chloe is her exact opposite. Open and loving. Not that Red doesn't love them, she does, she just shows it differently. Once they're all together, Red pushes the button. They all jump back in time and find themselves in an empty bedroom. Not exactly empty, there were beds, dressers, etc. but Red and Chloe hadn't 'moved in' yet. "Where are we?" They hear outside the window. They all hurry to look outside. "Not where, when." Chloe and Red nearly have heart attacks when they see themselves fighting outside in the quad. "Oh shit!" Red quickly pulls Chloe away from the window.

Their bodies collide in the corner as the twins watch their moms sword fight outside the window. "Ow, what was that for?" Chloe asks her. "We cannot see ourselves. We cannot interact with ourselves, nothing. Not unless you want to freeze time and create a paradox." Red warns her. "What do you me-" "Damn Ma, nice moves!" Crimson compliments her. "Oh thanks honey! What do you mean 'create a paradox'?" She focuses back on Red. "We were already super close to messing up the future once, do you want a repeat of that?" Red asks her. Chloe shakes her head. "Ok, then follow my lead." It was just then that they noticed how they were. Red dares to glance at Chloe's lips before shaking her head and pulling away. Chloe doesn't know what to make of that, nor her fast beating heart at the moment. They were together but not together. It was just all too confusing. They slowly open the door, careful not to get caught by some hall monitor or Merlin himself, again. "-Honors Alchemy in my office, right this way! Oh wait, no it's this way." Merlin is leading Red and Chloe to his classroom where they will meet their younger versions of their moms. "Did you just check me out?" "....No?...." "Hurry!" They all run out back into the courtyard. "Ok, twins, your ma and i will go back to Wonderland and find the Mad Hatter, mean while you two stay here. Stay hidden, don't let anything happen to me or your mother, but don't get involved either. Who knows what kind of butterfly effect we've already been a part of, we don't need another."

They both nod and watch as their mothers ran off. Heading back to Wonderland to find the Mad Hatter and hopefully fix this whole mess. They watch from afar as their mom's interact with their grandma's. "Ooh, cupcakes!" Crimson quickly grabs her brother's arm and holds him back. "No, Cree! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She scolds him. "Getting one of Grandma's cupcakes? You know how long it's been since I've had one?" He asks his sister. "It's only been a few days, she sent some to us before we time travelled. Remember?" "Oh yeah...." Cree frowns. "Hey, Code of Conduct prohibits theft and bullying!" They hear their Ma shout. "Easy darling, here we don't fight until after school. Meet me then." Hook gets just a little too close for comfort to their Ma. Before they could do anything though, their mom steps in. Red pushes Hook away as she turns to Uliana. "Listen squidface!...."

"Chloe no!" Red bashes the creature with a heavy stick before it retreats and flies away. She breathes out a sigh of relief before she kneels down and helps Chloe stand up. "When i said I'll introduce you to the Jabberwocky, i didn't actually mean it." Red sighs as she holds her close. "I didn't know that thing was real, i thought you were messing with me!" Chloe breathes heavily against Red's chest. She feels Red gently caress her hair. "Are you ok, princess?" She asks. Chloe blushes before nodding. "I'm fine, i just hope the kids are doing better than us." Red nods. "I'm sure they're ok. Besides, they would have called through the looking glass by now if things were going bad." Chloe tries to walk and stop immediately. "Ow, my leg." Red rushes to her side. "You ok?" Chloe shakes her head. "My leg hurts."  Red sits her down on a mushroom and slowly pulls her pant leg up. "Chlo, you're bleeding." She quickly rips off a piece of her shirt and wraps it around Chloe's wound. "This might sting a little." Red warns her. Chloe doesn't pay attention as she stares at Red's exposed waist. Her toned stomach posed a bit of a distraction for her. Red didn't have abs per say but you can tell she was in great shape. "Chloe?" "Huh?" "I said do you think you can walk?" Red asks her. "Oh, uh yeah. I'll be fine." Chloe blushes. "Are you ok?" Red asks her. Chloe nods. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm perfect." Red smiles. "Now I'm not gonna argue with you there because you are fine. And you are perfect. But i can tell something's bothering you." Chloe bites her lip. Her growing hormones is what's bothering her but she wasn't about to tell her that.

"Interesting place to grow up in." Chloe looks around at the mushrooms and trees as she changes the subject. "Well, you were the one that 'wondered' what it was like down here." Red smirks. Chloe blushes. "Shut up." She turns away. "Hey, don't do that." Red tells her. "Do what?" She grabs her chin and makes her look at her. "Hide your beautiful face from me." She whispered. They lock eyes once again and slowly lean in. Their lips brush gently before fully crashing into one another. All of their pent up feelings and hormones are finally let out. Red slightly pushes Chloe back so she can lay down on the grass. Hands were roaming everywhere, anywhere. It almost felt too much for Chloe. Almost. She quickly flips them and starts kissing her neck. "Chloe...." Red sighed. The sound was heavenly to the blue haired girl. And she yearned for it again. Hands roamed Red's sides as Chloe straddled her. She cups her breasts as she kisses her toned stomach. "Fuck..." Red moaned. She quickly flips them back. "Hate to break it to you boo, but I'm the top in this relationship." Red smirks as she starts leaving kisses on her neck. Chloe tilts her head to give Red more space. She practically shivers when she feels her gently bite her earlobe.

Red pulls back and smirks as she notices a red heart on Chloe's neck. "Whoops." Chloe locks eyes with her. "What did you do?" She asks. "Nothing." Red answers all too quickly. Chloe gently pushes her off and looks at her reflection in the water. "Damn it, Red." Chloe hits her arm. "It was an accident." Red smiles and pulls her close. "Mhm." Chloe looks at her, unimpressed. "Come on, I'll clean it for you." She wets her shirt slightly in the water and wipes the kiss away. "If that's what your kisses look like, I'm getting kinda scared of what your hickeys will look like." Chloe smiles. "Oh you'll love them, trust me." Red smirks. Chloe smacks her arm before pulling her in for another kiss. "Come on, we gotta find Mad Hatter."
