A Royal Rescue

Mission Failed, We'll Get 'Em Next Time

This is my favorite so far! It's pretty long so prepare yourself!

"I'm fine! I'm not hurt!" Virgil insisted.

"Are you sure? No cuts or bruises?" Logan asked as he checked, grabbed Virgil's chin and turned his head to make sure he wasn't hurt.

"Dad, I promise I'm fine. I didn't get hurt." Virgil pushed Logan's hands away.

It was far too early in the morning for anyone to be awake. Someone had broken into the castle and got to Virgil's room with the intention of killing him. Unfortunately for them, Virgil keeps his sword by his bed and is a light sleeper. It wasn't that much of a fight.

"Virgil!" Roman burst in, "I heard what happened! Did you get hurt?!"

"I'm fine! God, it's like you guys forget I'm a witch and was trained to fight."

"Well hearing about someone trying to assassinate you is very scary," Patton told him.

"It was bound to happen at some point, with me being a gay witch and all."

"Doesn't make this situation better!"

"Is there something we can do about that?" Logan asked.

"The most we can do is add more guards around here and maybe have some guards with Virgil during the day."

"No, no way am I going to be guarded," Virgil argued, "I just took out this assasin while half asleep! I think I'm good."

Roman took Virgil's hands in his own. "Still, I want to keep you safe."

"Just for a little bit Virgil?" Logan pleaded.

"We'll make sure to get you a good guard!" Patton added.

"Ugh fine. But only for a little bit," Virgil gave in.

Roman kissed Virgil's head and said, "Thank you, dear."

Patton yawned, "We should go to-"

"Aw man did I miss it?!" Remus shouted from the doorway, a half awake Janus holding onto his arm while yawning.

"Did-did you miss the guy who tried to kill me?" Virgil asked, confused.

"Yeah, that's what I'm asking."

"Yeah, he was already taken away."

"Damn, wanted to meet the guy who was stupid enough to try and do that."

"Why? So you can take notes?" Roman asked.

"So I can observe him."

"Remus that's just plain creepy," Janus told him, "Also a mood. But can we go back to bed, Virgil is clearly fine."

"Aw, did you come to check up on me, Remus?" Virgil asked.

"Nah I came to see the guy who attacked you." Virgil didn't miss Janus rolling his eyes. "But since he's not here, we're leaving."

Virgil snickered as they left, not buying Remus's excuse. Remus and Virgil have gotten close, they usually hang out whenever Remus is skipping one of his classes.

"As I was saying," Patton continued, "We should go to sleep. It's pretty late."

"That's a good idea, I'm pretty tired," Virgil agreed.

"Let's go to my room for now," Roman suggested, pulling Virgil off of the bed. "No one will think to look for you there, so you'll be safe."

"Can I bring my sword?"

"Yes you can bring your sword, though I have plenty in my room if you would ever need one while there."

"Decorative swords are not the same as real swords," Logan sighed.
