An Unexpected Love

39. Stay

Plume POV

   I slammed a pillow over my "ears", trying to block out the reckus from outside as people scurried about being obnoxiously loud.

   Jasper slammed open my door, I rolled over and gave him a blank stare ((*cough* resting bitch face *cough*)), "Plume! Cerf was attacked! They say he's critical!!" Jasper exclaimed, worry evident. My heart dropped. I jolted out of bed and made a death sprint for the clinic, tears falling from my eyes as I slam open the door.

   I see Cerf laying on a bed with an arrow poking out of his ribs. He was clearly in a lot of pain.

   I run over, Carson trying to push me out, I shoved him out of the way and sat in front of Cerf, he smiled weakly making eye contact with me. He raised his hand to my cheek, I placed my hand over his. Tears streaming down my face.

  He opened his mouth like he was going to say something, and actually started to move his lips but remembered he was mute and quickly stopped, shutting his mouth and looking down. I turned to Suave who was fiddling with the arrow, he looked at me as I made small conversation with Cerf, trying to distract him from his pain. Suave nodded his approval at me.

    "This will hurt, Cerf. A lot..." Suave said as he carefully and slowly pulled the arrow out of Cerf's side. Cerf shrieked and held my hand tightly, I whispered calming things to him to help him. Tears started to fill his eyes and he kept whimpering, clearly holding back screams of pain.

   Soon the arrow was out and Cerf seemed to be unable to tell as he was shaking in pain. Suave bright a cloth to the entry wound and began to clean it. Once Suave finished he carefully wrapped the wound. "Cerf, I better not see you running around until the wound is healed! You will stay in bed or Plume will carry you!" Suave ordered, Cerf nodded, sitting up slowly and wrapping his arms around my neck as I grabbed his thighs, holding him up. I nuzzled his neck and began to walk back to my room.

   I placed Cerf on my bed, he laid his head on the pillow, clearly tired. I laid down next to him and pulled the covers up on his small frame.  Him and I slowly drifted off into sleep, Cerf against my chest.

Encre POV (I feel this book is becoming less of a Fallencre book and more of a "Let's see what Auhor-chan's messed up brain comes up with" book)

   I slowly creaked open Plume's door to check on the two. I saw them asleep, the injured, petite wolf snuggled into Plume's chest, his head raised when I peeked in. I think I even heard him begin to growl before he realized it was me. I walked over and pet his head, he purred and laid back down, snuggling back into Plume's chest. I walked of the room, shutting the door gently as not to wake up the two little ones.

   I walked back to Fallacy who was sitting on our bed with a sleeping Pente in his lap, I smiled and cuddled next to him. "Hello, My Love." Fallacy greeted with a small chuckle as he wrapped his arm around me. "Hello Mon Cheri." I purred getting as close to him as I could.

  Someone knocked on the door, "Come in!" Fallacy half shouted to get the message through the thick wood. Muffin peeked in the door, "Sir, the Vampire Council is here. They said they'd like to speak to you about Pente..." Muffin said, his ears were against his head and his tail between his legs. Fallacy scoffed and placed the child in my lap and stood up, "Ah! Sir, they wanted you to bring Pente with you!" Muffin said quickly, Fallacy nodded and picked up our son, holding the little one to his chest as he walked to the foyer.

Fallacy POV

   I arrived in the foyer to see the three members of the vampire council. Angelica, Martinez, and Aurther. ((Idk just some random pretty names my mind just came up with XD)). I glared at them, my child sleeping in my chest. "Lord Fallacy! Such a honor to see you again!" Angelica chirped walking forward, Aurther and Martinez standing back, "What do you want with my child?" I demanded, "We worry he's more Mortal then he is Vampire." Martinez said turning up his nose at the sight of little Pente. I growled lowly, "He is not
He can already summon his wings AND his fangs are growing in." I hissed "I know my son's species."

   "Oh I don't doubt that!" Angelica exclaimed. Pente yawned, showing off his fangs then curling back into my chest smiling softly, I smiled at him then put my gaze back on the council, "Aurther, you're unsettlingly quiet." I said, Aurther jumper at my comment and rubbed he back of his neck awkwardly, "Oh! N-nothing M'lord! I'm still getting used to the whole council thing." He said. It was a solid excuse. He was fairly new to the council, only a few weeks. Plume came into the foyer, he hid behind the door. He clearly wanted to speak to me but didn't want to interrupt, "Yes Plume?" I asked, making eye contact with the child. He jumped slightly, "U-um... C-C-Cerf wanted t-to go to th-th-the gardens. I-I wasn't sure it'd b-be okay c-c-c-considering h-his condition." Plume sputtered. It's adorable how his stutter becomes ten times worse around new people, "It should be fine as long as don't let him run around, if he just wants to be outside there's nothing wrong with it." I replied, he nodded and disappeared, "How do you speak to that child?" Martinez wondered aloud, "He's shy. And has a speech impediment. While he can't help but stutter it's inhansed around new people such as you three." I spoke coldly at him insulting Plume like that. Martinez has always been a bit of a jackass, Angelica is level headed and is slow to anger. And Aurther is energetic and one of a kind. An extrovert, no doubt about it. I sighed, "You three are also breaking rules. We did not set a meeting for this interaction. I was trying to have peace with my family on the rare occasion that I have a day off." I scoffed, "Terribley sorry Lord! We just were worried about if Prince Pente was Mortal or not. Just in case that would be an issue." Amelia explained with a respectful bow, "I see. But you forget Jasper was also born to a Mortal woman. So in theory he should be mortal but my genes overpowered making him Vampire." I stated, switching my weight onto my left foot, Amelia nodded, "Oh of course M'lord! We just weren't sure if we'd have the same out come with this one." At this point Pente was climbing onto my shoulder and playing with the collar of my cape, I laughed lightly at my child but let him have his fun. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll be heading off now." I said turning swiftly on my heels as Pente shrieked slightly and clung to me.

   I made my way back to Encre and handed him Pente the flopped onto our bed, he chuckled at me, "Having trouble with the council, Amour?" Encre asked, I nodded with a muffled groan. Encre rubbed my back, "You'd think after two Mortal Queens the kingdom would be used to it." Encre sighed, "People never change, Love." I groaned rolling onto my back, "Well I love you and thats all that matters now, isn't it?" Encre said sassily, "It is." I replied rolling onto my side and gazing at Encre as he played with our child. I smiled and slowly let my eyes lull shut, allowing sleep to take over my body.
