Seventeen Imagines ♡

Joshua (1 part 3)

His shoes clicked against the palace floor, echoing through the hallway. He hurried his pace and stopped in front of the Queen's door. She did not like to wait.

Joshua knocked on the door, waiting to be allowed to enter.

"Come in." said a regal voice.

The doors opened by themselves, allowing the boy to enter, and thus he did.

Joshua stood before the Queen. She was still young indeed. One would think of the Queen to be an old woman. But she was still young and held so much power throughout the town, or so she liked to call it her 'kingdom'.

She sat in her throne-like chair in her room, back straight and face poised.

Joshua did a small bow. "I'm very sorry I'm late, your Majesty. There was some traffic on the road."

The young Queen got up from her throne and walked to where Joshua stood.

"Ah yes, I heard there were humans that entered our world. Have you seen them?"

The boy shook his head. "I haven't been to the fountain or town lately." he told her, not wanting her to know about you or your friends.

"I see..." said the Queen, looking at him. "Have you finished the task I gave you?"

He took out a little pouch from his sling bag and handed it to the Queen. "I got it just how you like it."

The Queen smiled in delight. "Perfect! Now I have my secret ingredient for my special tea! I haven't had this in ages!" She took the pouch from him and smelled the aroma.

"Here is your reward." She gave him a small bag of magic dust which he took in his hands.

He did a small bow again and turned to leave. Before he left, the Queen called him again.

"Oh, and Joshua?"

Joshua turned around and raised an eyebrow at her Majesty. "Yes, your majesty?"

"If you find the human girl, bring her to me. Eric said she had escaped." the Queen told him, playing with her little pouch of magic tea leaves.

Joshua's heart stopped for a second, but he quickly covered it. He did a simple nod and left.

It was around three in the morning when you awoken. You couldn't sleep well. Why? Well you didn't know. You felt like there was something odd but you didn't have a clue what. There was an uneasy feeling in your heart.

You got up and opened the bedroom window. The forest was beautiful at night. The moon shone brightly in the dark sky, stars glittering around it. You felt a cool breeze, making your soft hair blow in the wind.

You closed the window and shivered. Maybe it was still too early for some fresh air.

You felt like your current clothes were dirty and full of sweat. You looked at your attire. A plain, pastel pink t-shirt and jeans, a simple teenage girl's clothing.

You checked the closet for any clothes to change into. Jihoon did say to find anything you find comfortable. So you did.

You managed to fix up a comfortable outfit. You found a little oversized peach colored leaf sweater and kept your jeans. The sweater was a bit too big but fit on you. And you noticed that it was made from... soft leaves?

You looked at yourself in the mirror Jihoon kept in the room. You looked okay.

You kept your socks on as you thought it was cold. You opened the door and stepped out of the room, quietly closing the door as to not awaken the boys.
