── .✦ "I'M GONNA RING BEN, tell him what's going on." Jane pulled out her phone as they climbed the rocks and Freddie nodded, shivering as he stepped over the sleeping bodies lying across the rocks. He had given Jane his blazer that he had luckily taken off earlier that day, leaving him completely soaked and cold, though he didn't mind, as long as she was okay.
One thing he thanked his parents for, was for teaching him to respect women and to always be a gentlemen. Also kindness, that was another thing though it was something his father was slightly lacking.
"No, no. Stay where you are, Ben. Audrey's got the sceptre and everyone's asleep. Well, except for me and Freddie. I'm gonna call Mom and tell her to get her wand." Jane abruptly stopped, and Freddie almost fell backwards but he caught his balance, watching as Jane ended the call before rushing up the rocks again.
"Did you even give him chance to speak?" He questioned, his Oxfords slippery on the rocks, meaning his arms were out to help him keep his balance and he had a fearful expression on his face, nervous he'd fall and hit his head, sending himself to sleep without the help of the sceptre.
"No, Fred, there's no time for that!" Jane yelled, pressing buttons on her phone and soon she had her mother on the phone, "Mom? Yeah, Mom, I'm fine. Audrey took the sceptre and is sending everyone to sleep. I'm heading towards you now, you need to get your wand. Love you!"
"And did you even let your Mom— Ah!" Freddie screamed, almost falling over as he reached the top of the rocks and Jane rolled her eyes, speeding off towards Fairy Godmother's office, leaving Freddie on his own.
Once he reached safety and balanced himself, he looked up from his shoes and Jane had disappeared, causing him to let out a heavy sigh. There wasn't much he could do other than do his royal duties and make sure everyone was safe, and then a lightbulb went off in his head. He knew exactly what he needed to do.
It was quiet, strangely quiet and it gave Freddie an uncomfortable feeling in his gut, the type of feeling that makes you want to throw up but he swallowed it before entering Evie's cottage as quietly as possible. Strolling through the usually noisy building, Freddie noticed things moved about as if someone had rushed out of the cottage.
"Evie?" He called out, unsure of her whereabouts but if she was anywhere, she had to be there, right? He came to Evie's cottage for two reasons, the first was the see if Evie was okay, of course — the second reason was to see if the kids were safe, and to his expectation, they were.
All three, except for Celia were on the couch, fast asleep due to the smoke Audrey had been spreading everywhere around campus. Squeaky, Squirmy and Dizzy were all snoring comfortably and Freddie chuckled, glad that they were okay. He approached, not having to be worried about waking them up since it was an unbreakable spell — well, sorta — and he grabbed a blanket, carefully placing it over them to keep them warm.
