Fallen to the Shadows

Everything is Fine

Chapter: Prince

I could not make much of what was being said in the carriage. That is fine by me, they are meant to have their privacy, but I could tell William was not speaking. Still nothing is more fun than sitting in a space alone with women, when they all know how to screw with you.

The giggles were slowly increasing which I am sure is the reason for my smirk. He deserves it after all. Yeah he saved the lot of us and did much I am in debt to. That still doesn't put aside that fact to us he's all powerful and he comes into my realm? He will have to learn really quick how we work here. Before long I noticed that beside me Liz was looking at me with big eyes and concern.

The Maidens once more giggled and I could hear Eagle talking. "What did you do?" Liz said out of the blue. God dammit, she's catching onto me.

"Oh..." I said trying to hatch a plan. "Nothing much." I smirked again even though I had nothing to back myself up.

After a moment of silence Liz spoke again with the same concern. "You look scary when you smile..."

That stopped me, I looked down at her confused, "What, why?"

"Because you're like papa.... You never smile!" We stayed silent just looking at each other. I went back to glaring and looked at the path ahead with unamusment.

"At least I'm not Sebastian..." I grumbled not thinking about just what I was saying.

Liz was curious again, "Who's Sebastian?"

I glared not at her but the path, "We're not talking about him."

"Why not?"

"We will not speak about him!"

"But who-"

"I will stop this carriage!" I said with my voice raising.

William answered me from behind, "Pleeeeeease! Doooooo!"

I went quiet as everything behind me went quiet as well. Now I wonder.... did I go too far letting Eagle go in?

"Um, Griffon I think we should stop." I suggested.

"Everything is fine!" The voice of the Forest Maiden answered with sureness, "Continue on our way."

Mid Realm may not have Maidens but I at least know a few rules, like not going against their word. Still was William okay? Griffon spoke up riding his horse beside him, "We're fine, we are almost to the camp."

"Alright." I said but called back. "Everyone alright back there? Eagle, Leafy.... William?" The girls giggled again quietly and now I was a bit concerned myself.

"Yes I assure you everything is fine." Leafy answered as Eagle stepped away from the carriage with a smile.

"Eagle I will brand your ass with the hottest liquid metal I can find if you did anything-"

Eagle shook his head trying to keep in the laughter, "I didn't do a thing! It was all Leafy."

I sighed while we continued on our way. Just before hearing Leafy talk to her friends, "That is how you protect yourself, puts them right to sleep!" They all laughed again.

Chapter: William

It was terrible...... If Roxin could see me now he first laugh at the state that I am in, and yell at me for letting shit like this happen to me.  When Prince yelled that he might stop the carriage I thought it was my saving grace but that was when Leafy practically stabbed poked me in my neck and I was out cold.  When I woke up they were all giggling and that was the least of my worries.

"Watch this!" Leafy said again with a smile and placed her hand on my shoulder.

I look at it confused and I look up at Leafy and then realization hit me as my vision started going black. "Ah shit......," and I fell to the ground.
