Chapter 2 – Shocking Truth?
"Ah, finally! There you are!" King Wendell comes down the castle's stairs happily. The carriage stops shrieking and Wendell opens the door. "You sure took your time!" he shakes his head. He holds out his hand, Virginia grabs it. "Yes, sorry... Had some things... To take care of..." with that she sneers at Wolf. Wolf howls softly, though stops when he sees the magic bird again. "There you are! Now I'll EAT YOU!!" Wolf starts sneaking up the bird, though it flies off when it sees Wolf. Wolf growls angrily when the bird sticks out its tongue. Virginia steps towards king Wendell and bows. Wolf goes to stand next to Virginia and also bows. Wendell smiles. "No need to bow for me." he happily says and helps up Virginia. Wolf gets up too, then gets a glance from Virginia. He knows what she thinks: "You DO need to!"
Virginia and king Wendell walk to the castle. Inside multiple servants come speeding up, asking them what they want to drink, eat etc. Wendell waves them off and leads the way to the library room. Virginia takes a seat on the sofa in the corner. When she gets up and looks outside, she sees Wolf scanning the area for that magic bird. Virginia opens the window and shouts: "Wolf, get in here at once!" Wolf turns around and nods. Then he runs towards the entrance. Virginia sighs and lets herself drop on the sofa. "So how you've been doing? Is wolf doing all right in New York?" Virginia sighs. "Rough day huhn?" Wendell asks. Virginia nods and stares at him. "So... What's the emergency anyway? It doesn't look anywhere near an emergency around here..." Wendell swallows and turns red. "Well..."
Then Wolf comes speeding in. "Yes Virginia, my love! Here I am!" He kneels and holds out a bundle of flowers. Virginia sighs. She looks at Wendell and sees he feels uncomfortable. "Erm, Wolf, dear... Could you... Erm..." Virginia doesn't exactly know where she could send Wolf. "Erm... Go find dad please!" Wolf smiles and hands her the flowers. He gives her a kiss on her forehead and then leaves. When turning around the corner, he walks back and shouts: "I'll do anything for you, my love! I will go and find dad!" Then he leaves. Virginia sighs and walks to Wendell. She puts a hand on his shoulder. Wendell turns around, about to cry out loud... Virginia leads him to the sofa and then commands one of the servants to bring her a glass of water.
"Just what is going on? Come on, tell me!" Virginia pats Wendell on his head. The servant comes speeding in, holding a glass of water on a tray. Virginia grabs it and thanks the servant. Then the servant leaves again, so Virginia and the king can be alone. Wendell sighs and lets a tear roll. "There's no easy way to say this..." Virginia freezes to the ground. "No... No not dad... It can't be..." Wendell looks straight into her eyes now, and hesitates. When he sees the shock on Virginia's face, he starts talking. "I... I'm in love with your father... Please don't kill me!" he shouts. Virginia turns red: "WHAT?! I thought you meant he was DEAD!" Wendell swallows and lowers his head. Virginia takes a seat next to the king and puts an arm around him.
"I don't know what to do... I told him but it didn't came out good and now... I don't know where he is... He seems to keep avoiding me..." Wendell sighs and lets his tears rolling over his blushing cheeks. Virginia sighs. "I... I don't know what to say..." She lowers her head. "I know... It's hard... Maybe you shouldn't discuss this with me... I just don't know how to help you with any of this..." She shakes her head. Wendell turns his head and looks at her with puppy dog eyes. "I... I don't know who to talk with this in any way... Your father... He's not from this dimension so... The only one I could think of was you! Though, I understand if you don't..." Virginia cuts him off by soothing him. She hugs him tightly. "I... I give you my permission to love my father... I just... Don't know how to help you..."
Wolf comes storming in again, and sees Virginia and the king hugging each other. He growls angrily and his eyes flash to gold. His K9's grow, he feels. "Cripes!" Wendell shouts when he sees Wolf. Virginia looks the same direction and sees the angry Wolf huffing and puffing. "Wolf..." A tear rolls down her cheek. She lets go of Wendell and gets up. "Wolf... It's not what you think..." She starts walking towards him, slightly feared by his appearance. When he keeps growling madly at her, she sighs and just walks up to him. "Wolf, stop!" She puts her hand on his cheek. That lovely warm hand... The soft skin on Wolfs rough cheek makes him fuzzy inside. Slowly, he turns back to normal. Virginia smiles at him and kisses him. Wolf doesn't kiss back.
He waits until she's done and then pushes her away. "Get away from me!" He growls and runs off. "Wolf! WOLF!!" Virginia shouts when he disappears. Servants come speeding up at Virginia. "You need anything ma'am?" Virginia lets her tears flow. "No, thank you." She turns around and sees Wendell staring at her with guilt. "Virginia, I... I'm so very sorry... I hope I didn't..." He sighs, not knowing what to say. Virginia walks towards him. "No, it's okay... I'll talk to him later... This ain't the first time..." Wendell looks at her with surprise. "Not the first time? What do you mean?" Virginia sighs: "Ever since we got to New York... He can't stand it whenever I hug, kiss or shake hands with someone. He seems so jealous..."
Wendell grins. "Well, you know... He IS after all a wolf... And wolfs mate for life... They don't share their mates. I'm not surprised, sorry." Virginia sighs. "Yes... I know... But lets not change subject here, we were talking about you... And dad... You have any idea where he might have gone to?" Wendell sadly shakes his head, and now cries harder then Virginia has ever seen anyone doing. "This is supposed to be a happily ever after land... Though the truth often is shocking... And... Harsh... It seems this world is not very different from the real world..." Virginia hugs Wendell again. Wendell snuggles at her and stops crying. "Well, done are you?" Virginia laughs. Wendell looks at her and laughs too. "Yes, I guess so... Sorry, I really needed that... It was nice of you, thank you. Oh, seems I have to give you a new one now..." he giggles when he sees the wet shirt's shoulder.
Virginia looks at it and laughs. "Oh, no need! Got plenty in New York, thanks anyway." Wendell now gets stern and says: "No, really! I insist!" He grabs Virginia's hand and drags her along the hall ways of his castle. "Here we are!" Wendell stops in front of a large door. "Please, do pick something! Anything!" He smiles and opens it. Virginia gasps as she sees rows and rows filled with... CLOTHES!! Wendell laughs as he sees her expression. He lets go of her hand, wich causes her to sniff around instantly. She scurries down row after row, looking at all the clothes. Wendell drops himself in the nearby chair. They'd be busy here for a while...
Outside, Wolf sits in a corner by the kitchen stairs. Hidden behind bushes, so no one could see him. "I knew it... I just knew it had to happen some time... There IS no happily ever after with humans... Only wolfies are mates for life... I had just hoped Virginia would too..." Tears roll down his cheeks. The magic bird lands on the bush in front of him and shrieks: "Hey you, what are you doing here?" Wolf ignores it and grumbles. "Hmm... Shouldn't you be with your mate? That lovely girl, I mean" Wolf scares away the bird by almost hitting it with his paw. Tears keep rolling down his cheeks as he starts howling.
After 2 hours, Virginia is still scurrying trough the rows of clothes. Now, Wendell has enough. "Virginia, please... Could you just pick something? I've like... Sat here for about 2 hours!" Virginia comes rushing at Wendell. Wendell is surprised by what she's wearing. He's absolutely speechless. Virginia has actually put on men's royalty clothes... "Erm, Virginia... You DO know those are for men... Right?" Virginia nods and smiles. Wendell doesn't get it, what is Virginia going to do with those clothes? "Where's your make up room, Wendell? You DO have one, right?" Wendell nods and points at the door across the room. "Thank you, Wendell." Virginia laughs as she walks to it.
When she opens the door, she stares inside. There's loads of mirrors, flowers and cupboards filled with make up, wigs and other accessories. "You know... Staring with your mouth closed really IS more lady like..." Virginia runs into the room and bumps into... Her father! "Dad? What are YOU doing here?" Anthony smiles and hugs his daughter. "What a way to greet your father huhn... I guess I'd have to teach you manners..." Virginia laughs and hits him on his shoulder. "Ouch..." Anthony rubs his shoulder. "Oh, come on dad! That didn't really hurt!" Virginia smiles at her dad. Then, Anthony grabs his daughter at shoulders and comes closer with his head.
"No... No kiss... Please..." Virginia toys with her mind. Then Anthony shivers and whispers: "Is it safe? Wendell isn't around here... Is he?" Virginia smiles faintly. When Anthony looks up, he sees king Wendell in the doorway. He ducks down and nearly cries: "No please... Virginia, chase him away please..." Virginia grabs her dad by his hair and pulls him up. Anthony shrieks of pain. "Dad, please... Love is not a crime... you should know that..." Anthony tries to avoid Wendells look. "Dad!" Virginia hits him in the face. "Pay attention! You're not a little child anymore!" Anthony rubs his cheek and stares at his daughter. "How could she... Slapping me as if she's my mother... Well she's NOT!"
"There's no need to slap me, young lady!" Anthony mutters. Virginia looks at her hand as if she just committed a terrible crime. Anthony sighs and softly says: "I know love is not a crime... But I don't... I don't know if I'm into that... You know... I haven't really had..." He sighs and goes on: "A relation like that... And the age difference! It's like sleeping with YOU!" Virginia bursts out of laughter. "Just what are you saying dad? If you love him, just say it... Love has no boundaries... After all! Just look at me and Wolf..." After that, she falls silent. "Yes... Wolf... I do love him... And... I want to be with him..." She sighs. Anthony rubs her arm to give her some comfort. "Don't worry, he'll come back to you..." Virginia nods and sighs: "I know dad, I know..."
Virginia calmly walks out of the room, leaving Anthony alone with king Wendell.
Mm, don't really know how to continue :P
