Disclaimer: I own nothing from fable or its characters. Hey guys here is the sequel to The Proposition so I hope you enjoy also I won't be updating this as fast as I did the proposition so if I don't post of a few weeks that is why.
Ten years past Merida was turning fifth teen in a few months and about a week after that I would be turning twenty nine. We were at the castle celebrating the day we defeated Lucien and the Darkness. Me and Reaver were up against the wall and Merida was trying to convince him to let her dance with Alistair, Reaver had become very protective of me and Merida since she turn ten. I understood that she was his little girl but I told him time and again that if he kept smothering her like he was he would lose her. But while he was busy arguing with her I took Undertaker the gun I had given ten years ago he didn't notice it but Merida noticed it was gone.
Merida:" Where is your gun father?"
He the looked down at his holster and saw it was gone.
Reaver:" I will be right back you two and Merida be good."
He then gave me a kiss on the cheek and left me and Merida and as soon as he was gone I pulled out the gun and put it on the table.
Merida:" You took it again."
" Look I did it so you could go dance now I suggest you go do that because you have about five minutes which leaves you time for one dance so what are you waiting for."
She gave me a smile and a big hug and went to dance with Alistair she had become very polite and she looked a lot like her mother, but she knew who her real mother was and she accepted it and went on with her life, but she once told me that even though Elise was her real mother she still thought of me as her mother and that made me happy. About three minutes passed and she came back Reaver still hadn't returned from looking for his gun.
Merida:" Thanks mother."
" No problem believe it or not your uncle Logan used to be the same way with me and with ex fiancé Elliot."
Merida:" You mean your ex betrothal but why?"
"Yes that is what I meant and he didn't like the idea of me being courted heck if it were up to him me and your father probably wouldn't be married at all in fact I would probably be locked up in my castle chamber right now."
Merida:" Oh well I'm going to go get some punch would you like some?"
" No I'm fine but thanks for offering."
Merida:" Alright I will be right back."
As she left Reaver came back and I handed him his gun.
Reaver:" That is the fifth time that this has happened are you taking my gun and I know when you're lying so tell me Belle what are you doing."
" Ok yes I'm taking you gun I'm such a bad girl."
Reaver:" Why are you taking it?"
I then looked over at Merida and she was talking to Alistair, Reaver then looked at them and stormed off in that direction I tried to stop him but he wouldn't stop. He then grabbed Merida by the wrist and me and we started to leave and Alistair followed us.
Reaver:" Merida in the carriage now."
Alistair:" Mr. Reaver please me and Merida were just talking."
Reaver:" Stay away from my family I don't care if you Abigail's son or not if you come near my daughter again I will kill you."
" Reaver!"
Reaver:" I can handle this Belle now please get in the carriage you've done enough. That is your only warning."
I was so angry he could ruin my social life with my friends but I was going to be damned if he was going to ruin Merida's. I slapped him across the face.
"No Reaver you get in the carriage now! Alistair I'm so sorry about that my husband he didn't mean anything he said he just had one to many drinks oh say hi to your mother for me and again I'm sorry and have a nice night."
I got in the carriage and as soon as I closed the door Barry started the carriage and we left.
Reaver:" Merida I told you to be good..."
"No don't even say that if any one of us was horrible tonight and a humiliation to this family it would be you I have never been so embarrassed in my whole life and I had to deal with Logan trying to find some reason to execute Elliot."
As soon as we got back to the mansion Merida and Reaver were the first ones inside.
Reaver:" Merida to your room now your grounded."
Merida:" But I didn't do a thing."
Reaver:" I said to your room you are not going to any more balls for the next three months."
She stormed of before I could stop her I then looked over at Reaver and he looked at me.
"Reaver don't be mad at her be mad at me I'm the one who encouraged her behavior."
Reaver:" Yes but she knew better."
" Uh Reaver if you keep smothering her like this you might lose her forever I know she is your little girl but your going to have to let her go eventually don't make the same mistake Logan made."
Reaver:" What do you mean the same mistake."
" The only reason I joined the revolution was because of Logan smothering me he drove me away and if you don't stop now you will lose her but after tonight it might already be too late."
I went upstairs and knocked on her door and she didn't answer I opened it and closed behind me as I walked in she was packing her thing and I ran over to stop her.
" What are you doing?"
Merida:" I'm leaving."
" Merida listen to me there is nowhere you can run that our family won't look trust me."
Merida:" You mean you've tried to leave."
" No more like I was kidnapped and taken to Aurora."
Merida:" Oh."
" Well tell you what when ever I go up to the Temple of the Gods you can come with me besides you need to practice on your skill anyway."
Merida:" Thanks but do you mean I'm like you two I'm a hero."
" Yes I think you are a hero of skill like your father and if you aren't you show a lot of promise."
Merida:" Well if I am maybe my father will realize I can handle myself and stop smothering me."
" Merida your father only wants what's best for you."
Merida:" Yeah I know well good night."
" Alright good night Merida."
She started putting up her clothes and I left the room Reaver had went to bed early so I went to go see if everything was ready for tomorrow we were having my family over to visit I had some news to share with everyone and I had a feeling things might get ugly.
