The Queen and Her King

King Beast

Brielle POV

I've been able to keep the catty females from clawing each other's eyes out quite well so far, so that's always a good thing. We walked up the trail to Evie's mansion and Evie jogged to the front to unlock it. I've only visited a few times, but gee I love the little place she got. I know she says it's a "starter castle" but the place is so charming, yeah it's not huge or stately but my goodness is it cute.

We walked in and the first thing I wanted to make sure of was that the twins are alright. I immediately locked eyes on the couch where they lay... asleep. Dammit, I was really hoping Audrey hadn't come here. The twins and Dizzy were all asleep on the same couch, the twins laying next to each other for support while Dizzy was on her own.

I deeply sighed and quickly walked over to them, quickly noticing how the twins were flinching a lot. I've seen a few of Harry's nightmares, as in I know when he's having them because he starts getting flinchy before vocalizing and sometimes shooting awake in a panic. Obviously, the twins can't just awake so they were stuck in a nightmare. I kneeled down in front of them and took a blanket from the top of the couch and laid it over them. Celia came behind me and tugged the other end of the blanket to lay on Dizzy as she began to have a nightmare as well. Celia comforted her friend while I began soothing the twitching twins. I took each of my hands and brushed through each one's hair with care,

"Easy you two, it's alright. Everything is okay, no need to fret"

I calmly spoke with a hum. The two twins seemed to react to my voice and slowly melted back down into a peaceful sleep, this time smiling a little too. It made me smile a little, knowing that I could help them with their nightmares and such. Then I slowly stood back up and tucked in the sides of the blanket for them, doing my best to tuck them in for a peaceful slumber.

I heard some mild commotion in the other room which drew my attention from the twins. I brushed their hair from their faces some more and took off their glasses for them and laid them to the side with care before quietly walking out of the room and over to Evie's sunroom, Celia following right behind me. I walked over to the entrance of the sunroom where Mal and Uma were staring in. I peeked my head in to see good ol' Doug fast asleep too. Evie jogged over to him and began lightly shoving his arm,

"Doug, Doug wake up"

She calmly spoke. I furrowed my brow, I thought we went over this?

"He's spelled, isn't she a fast learner?"

Uma said with some sass,

"She's emotionally involved"

Mal quickly answered in return. I quietly cooed which made all the girls look at me,

"Evie~ I bet you can wake him up~"

I continued to coo, she furrowed her brow and looked back down at Doug,

"How though?"

Uma deeply sighed and crossed her arms,

"True loves kiss, works every time"

Uma said with a tired tone which made me giggle some. I have always been a bit of a dork when it comes to that sort of stuff I guess. Evie looked at Doug with a dazzle in her eyes and slowly began leaning towards him, but last minute she bailed.

And funny enough I feel a song coming on.

Harry POV

Goodness me... the longer I can't get my words out the more often I find them trying to slip onto the tip of my tongue, even if I don't wish to say them just yet.
