Birthday Party

Hey guys, we on a roll here! New chapter and good news because I'm so busy with getting ready for my trip I'm lucky to get this published. Enjoy!

Fontaine's pov:

---------------------

This morning had been insane. It's the girls birthday today, and they have been ordering all sorts of things. Bella ordered a mini castle made out of banoffee french pancakes, and Evie wanted no school and a bouncy house made out of candy.

But thankfully we had it sorta under control. Finn had given them breakfast and sent them off to school. Jess had arrived a few minutes later and Maddy had come to help.

I knew from the minute I woke up that Ant was plotting something. He has that evil look in his eyes, and whatever he was doing was not going to be good.

Brushing the thoughts out of my head, I walked into the kitchen.

"Your majesty! Do you have the chef menu?" Head chef asked.

"Yes. Please have it ready soon." I smiled.

"Fontaine! We have a problem." Maddy yelled running in.

"What on earth? Are you ok, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Ummmmmmmmmmm, Jess may have accidentally used a explosion stone on the entire party room." Maddy mumbled.

"What?!" I yelled, running out with her.

"Yeah it's not pretty." Maddy hissed.

"How on earth did she even get a histalemnia spell stone?" I asked.

"Guess. I'll help you hide the body." Maddy replied as we slowed down.

"Shit. Ant? Oh my god I am going to kill him. Where the fuck is he?" I yelled.

"Currently hiding. I don't know why he did it! But we can find him after. For now we really need to fix this mess. Where is Finn? We could really use the help." Maddy asked.

"If we wanted to do another ball, we had to delay the last lot of meetings for Lemuria. Finn is with the officials." I answered.

"Crap. Oh well. Let's focus on fixing this mess." Maddy said firmly.

"Yes. Uh.... Ok. I need you to guy get the guards to find some of the crystal gems we used to decorate. And where is Jess?" I asked.

"In the ballroom. Trying to clean up." Maddy answered.

As I continued on, I smacked into my little brother.

"Antaeus what are you doing?" I asked with a creepy calmness to my voice.

Ant gulped. "Going to my etiquette class?" He replied.

"And why did you give Jess a histalemnia stone?" I demanded.

"It was an accident! I meant to give it to Maddy. She wanted me to help her at a pottery class, for the orphan kids. But everytime I tried to make anything, and I mean anything, it ended looking like a explosion of sticky cement. So I decided to give her the stone and have it 'accidentally' blow up the pottery room. But Jess spotted it and picked it up. She shook it too much and it activated, and before I could get it off her, she blew up the party area!" Ant replied, nervously checking for his girlfriend.

"Oh Ant. You are so stubborn. Ok, forget it. Accidents happen. Next time just tell her. She's your girlfriend and you guys aren't 11 anymore. She's not going to mock you like she's better if you can't do something she can." I scolded.
