Enchanted Romance

Fighting with You

  After her father had banished her to her room, she had sat at the end of her bed, rethinking her life choices.

"This has got to stop!" she said.

"Tch-haha! Oh come on, you know you enjoyed it." said Luci.

"Hehe, yeah. But its gotta stop!" Bean said to the demon.

"Nah-uh! I'm your demon baby! We're magically linked, like lolly pops and rug fuzz!" he told her, while stealing Elfo's lolly pop and rubbing it on the rug.

Elfo licked the lolly pop and said "It- It's fine." before continuing to lick the candy.

"Look, Luci, could you just stay away from me for a while? Maybe go ruin someone else's life? Because, I sure as hell don't need you here ruining mine!" Bean said, almost shouting.

"But I-"

"Just go! Leave, I can't look at you right now, you awful creature! Get out of here! I hate you!" she snapped at him. Elfo just looked at him, his face full of anger and disappointment before saying, "Yeah Luci. Just get out! We don't want you here!" he yelled.

Luci took one last look at Elfo and Bean, the later of which was staring at him with a mix of annoyance, disgust, and hatred.

"F-fine! May- Maybe I will!" Luci yelled back, voice cracking slightly. He turned quickly and walked out of the room with his head down to hide his face. His eyes were filled with unshead tears.

Luci just ran, he ran and ran until he couldn't breathe or stand up from the running and all his crying. He found himself in the library, where he tucked himself into the space between some books and the wall. He sat there and let all of the tears he had been trying (and for the most part, failing) to hold back run freely down his ebony cheeks. He cried and cried and cried, until he had no more tears left. After that he just sat there, feeling depressed, until he started to feel the tale-tell anxiety pull at him, urging him to go back to his friends.

He got up and crawled out the library window and crawled along the roof until he made it to the gargoyle outside of Bean's window. He really didn't like being too far away from her or Elfo for any length of time, it made him nervous. After all, he didn't have any way to know what they were doing, or if they were safe. It made him feel extremely anxious. He could sense they were both in the room, but he didn't know what they were doing. He peeked his head in and smiled. They were just sitting there, talking, laughing, smiling, it made him happy.

Suddenly, the guards knocked on the door. Luci crouched back onto the gargoyle, he didn't want the guards to know he was there. What if one of them tried to talk to him? Then Bean would know he was there and she might get mad and yell at him again.

Bean opened the door to speak with the guards.

"Yes? How can I help you?" she said to the guards sassily.

"We're here to escort the elf to Sorcerio's. He has requested the elf's presence." one of the guards said.

"Okay!" Elfo said happily, turning around to speak to Bean. "See you later Bean." he told her with a smile. Elfo waved at Bean all the way out the door.

Once she was alone, or at least, once she thought she was alone, Bean let out a big yawn. She looked tired, but then, she hasn't had more than an hour of sleep in the past two days, so that made sense.

"Time to sleep. This is nice, no Elfo whining, no Luci to annoy me, just me and sleep." she said to herself. Luci felt a pang in his heart. Did he really annoy her that much?

In moments the princess's breathing evened out, ad she was in a deep slumber. Luci decided he needed to go take a nap too, so he jumped from his spot on the gargoyle, walked into the room through the opened window, and carefully got onto the bed, so as not to wake it's current occupant, and curled up next to Bean.
