Triple + One (FINISHED)

The Boogeyman

Eve and her mother were sitting in the waiting room, waiting anxiously as Rooney was in operation. Elisabeth could see her daughter's body shake and she gently brought her hand to her daughter's squeezing it tight.

"It's okay", she whispered and Eve turned to her mother nodding, sighing deep. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Elisabeth couldn't hold it any longer. "Honey... can't you just tell me? What's going on?"

Eve sighed turning to her mother and took a deep breath before clearing her throat. But when she opened her mouth ready to speak, nothing came out and Elisabeth looked worried at her daughter. "Honey?"

Eve turned to look at Regina who sat next to Elisabeth and Regina sighed flicking her wrist, making the storybook appear on Elisabeth's lap. The woman let out a sound of surprise when she suddenly felt something heavy on her lap. "What is this?"

"This is a storybook. Open it", Regina told her and Elisabeth turned to her daughter who nodded in agreement. She sighed and opened the book slowly. Seeing a picture of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.

"It's fairytales"

Regina smiled and nodded. "Indeed it is"

"And what is thi—"

"Regina", Whale's voice cut off the elder woman and they all turned to the doctor, standing from their seats.

"What is it Whale?"

"Rooney is out of surgery and it was successful. We were able to remove the tumor fully and she should have a full recovery before the end of this week", he said and they all let out sighs of reliefs. Eve turned to her mother hugging her tight, Elisabeth hugging her just as tight back.

"When can we see her?", Regina asked and doctor Whale smiled.

"They are wrapping her up as we speak. I will come and get you when she's allowed to have visitors", he said before walking away. Regina took a deep breath and turns to Eve who looked back at her with eyes full of relief. Regina smiled and brought her arms around her friend, hugging her tight.

"Thank you. For making my daughter happy"

Crevan and Alex were laying in Crevan's bed, Alex sleeping peacefully in his arms as they waited to hear from his mother about Rooney's operation.

"She's beautiful isn't she?", a voice said and Crevan jumped a little in his bed as he turned to see his dark old friend standing in the corner of his dark room.

"Indeed", he answered with straight words, not a single drop of frightens showing. The man chuckled and stood from a chair that disappeared the second he was standing.

"Take a step closer and I'll make sure you'll never come here again", Crevan quickly stopped him, a fireball lightening up in his palm and he could see the man smirk despite the darkness in the room.

"You're still using your magic I see", he said and Crevan sighed turning off the fireball.

"Only when necessary"

"Still haven't told your dear mothers?"

Crevan looked away not wanting to answer and the man chuckled before walking back to the corner sitting down on the chair that returned. Crevan sighed and gently moved away from Alex without waking her, getting out of the bed. "Why are you here?", he asked once he was turned to the man, crossing his arms and the man smiled giving the boy a knowing look.

"I wanted to check up on you. Make sure you're okay"

"From what? No one is going to hurt me", Crevan answered determined walking over to his desk taking his water bottle and the man titled his head to the side.
