Soft sun Light that shone through the wooden panels of the blinds making long shadows in the room.
Jennifer began to stir and slowly she opened her eyes and tried to take in her surroundings .
" Momma" Jenna call out.
"Garrett" Jennifer nudged him but he just groaned.
" ugh fine I'll get up then" Jennifer said bitterly as she threw back the covers and walked to Jenna's just groaned and went back to sleep.
Pushed opened the door to see Jenna standing up in her cot "morning sweetheart" Jennifer said picking up her little girl.
Eventually Garrett got him self out of bed and had a shower whilst Jennifer made breakfast. They both soon sat down and had breakfast with Jenna in her high chair.
" morning, how is daddy's little girl" Garrett asked placing a kiss on Jenna cheek and she giggled.
" remember I'll be home late tonight" Jennifer nodded weakly.
" what's wrong? " James asked sensing Jennifer's hesitation.
" oh nothing" she said with a hint of sarcasm.
" you Jen for goodness sake It's a job and I am putting food on the table and yes the job is with my brother so what?" He shrugged.
Jennifer helped Jenna with her breakfast " Are you with Him again tonight?" Garrett sighed.
" ugh seriously Jen, I have told you so many times that he's my big brother and he needs help at his tavern in case that crazy old Maurice shows up again tonight like he has done night after night and something about a beast. Any way your always off doing your damn magic act or whatever the hell it is you call it" Jennifer was hurt she could feel the tears threatening to fall but she held them back.
" fine whatever, I'll see you tonight"she said rather coldly. She placed a soft kiss on his cheek and then said goodbye to Jenna who quietly said " momma" Jennifer smiled " yes mommas going to work but she will be home soon so, you be a good girl for daddy" she said before left for her Magic course and didn't bother looking back.
Later on that evening Jennifer arrived home and but she didn't speak to Garrett who just ignored it all and left his apartment hoping to talk to her tonight but now his brother need him so he left home and headed towards his brothers tavern, Garrett reached the tavern like he had many times before but tonight something felt different. Garrett shook of his worry and walked into the tavern which was always packed with the locals and there he was his big brother sitting on his antler thrown in the back of the tavern.
" Brother" Gaston said greeting his younger brother and embracing him a bone crushing hug.
" Good to see you"Garrett said hugging his brother back.
"Come! Sit enjoy" Gaston gestured to the empty seat beside him, which Garrett took.
" beer?" Gaston asked and Garrett nodded " Sure, that would be great thanks" Gaston gestured to one his lady workers and he nodded and walked off towards the bar.
" boy am I so glad to see you"Gaston said shaking his head.
"Why? What's happened?" Garrett asked, the bar maid was back and placed their drinks on the table.
" That crazy old Maurice was back in here again tonight and well I am planning on doing something about this beast" Garrett took a sip of his beer.
"Do you think that's a good idea? I mean Belle clearly isn't Interested brother how about you move on?" Garrett questioned knowing he was taking a chance buy asking this.
" brother please" Gaston laughed " Belle just doesn't realise she needs me in her life yet and when she does finally realise she'll come running" he smirked.
The doors to the tavern swung open and in walked Gaston's best friend LeFou and crazy old Maurice which is Belle's father.
" Gaston...It's happening we are killing the beast tonight" Lefou said throwing himself at Gaston.
" everyone...tonight's the night we kill that beast and Belle will be mine and I'll be king of Auradon !" Gaston called out and they all cheered.
Everyone rushed about grabbing guns, pitch forks, hatchets and anything they could possibly kill the beast with.
" Gaston, don't do this. You saw what happened to Malificent and Jaffar last week. Do you want the same to happen to you?" Gaston laughed.
" it's going to be okay because after today I will be a hero and I will finally win the heart of Belle" Garrett shook his head.
" Belle is married and they have a son...I'm sorry ...I can't be part of this, I'm sorry brother" Garrett turned to leave but Gaston grabbed him " you will do this for me, you want me to tell the others about you and Jennifer? " Gaston smirked.
"You wouldn't dare?" Garrett challenged Gaston.
"Just because your my brother doesn't mean I can go easy on you and if you get in my way or don't help me then I will take your perfect little family down. Do you understand" Garrett nodded.
Garret knew what he needed to do so he picked up a flamed torch and joined the team " I knew god see it my way Garrett" Gaston said placing his large had upon his brothers back.
" get the hell off me" Garrett shrugged of his brothers hand.
" oh come on Garrett" Gaston said wrapping his arms round him.
" get the hell off me now brother if you want me to help" Garrett said through gritted teeth.
The troops all left and made their way to the castle. Gaston was on his horse at the front of the group and just behind them was Garrett and Lefou and then the rest of the Gaston's friends and villagers who were not happy to have Adam as their king.
They made it to the castle and a fight was on between the castle staff. Gaston had worked his way inside the castle and he was on the hunt for king Adam.
" Come our beast I know your there" Gaston called out along the west wing.
" Gaston this stupid, and not to mention dangerous and your telling me your happy to risk it all over a old grudge" Garrett said.
Gaston thought about it for a second before he ignored what his brother said and carried on looking for the he found him at the top of the castle in the attic part. Gaston being very powerful and strong he managed to disarm the kind leaving him defenceless.
" Gaston...please" Garrett pleaded.
" I don't want to do this but I will fight you if that's what I need to do to get you to stop this" Garrett said pointing a sword towards Gaston.
" come on then brother" Gaston's said gesturing with his sword and with that the two brothers began to battle it out. Gaston threw Garrett to the floor and made his move towards the king. Garrett tried to stand up but he was in a lot of pain but he knew he need to do something so he used every last bit of energy to get himself up off the floor and pick up his sword and headed towards the king.
" I can't do this anymore I'm...sorry...please forgive me" Garrett raised his sword and before he knew it the sword touched with human flesh but all Garrett could see was his sword and the huge pool of blood that began to seep out from the large wound and it was then that Garrett knew what he had done. He had stabbed the king but it looks like he wasn't he the only one who had done it Gaston had also stabbed king Adam who now was laying on his back in a large pool of blood.
" What have I done?" Garrett whispered.
" we have won Garrett we've won and Belle is mine" Gaston cheered.
" we haven't won anything we have just committed treason Gaston we are done for. I have a family and now I will loose them" Garrett began to panic.
Gaston laughed and began shouting " I've killed the beast" He walked out to the room leaving Garret alone with the king.
" my lord, are you alive?" Garrett rushed over towards the king and knelt down in his blood and checked his pulse. The king was alive but just barely and that was the last thing Garrett remembered.
Jennifer was sitting on the sofa studying her new spell book when she heard the door slowly open and then close. Jennifer sighed shutting her book, quickly looked at the time which read 9pm. Jennifer got up off the sofa and out into the hall to see Garrett standing in the hallway with tears in his eyes.
"Garrett, what's wrong?" Jennifer walked close to him .
"I'm sorry..."Jennifer was getting worried now.
They walked into the lounge and over to the window which looked out to Auradon lit up which seemed to sparkle. Jennifer walked into the lounge making Garrett turn round to face Jennifer with Tears falling silently down his cheeks.
"Garrett, what's going on ...is that blood?" Jennifer said looking at her boyfriend covered in blood from head to toe.
Garrett didn't answer for a few seconds "Jennifer, I think we should cool it for a while" Garrett looked at the floor rather than look at Jennifer .
"Please tell me what's going on" Jennifer felt the tear fall.
"No, I think we should just take a break, that's all"
"What, do you mean cool it? Are you breaking up with me Garrett?"
"Jennifer, Please just get the hell out of the apartment" Garrett yelled with tears falling down her cheeks.
"Garrett..."
"Just get the hell out, now" Garrett said.
" what about Jenna?" She questioned.
" I'm saving you Jen, your free to be the fairy god mother with out any ties and no one has to know about me and you and most of all Jenna. I will tell them that her mother died after giving birth" Jennifer sobbed.
" please look after her Garrett and tell her I love and please tell Jenna about me. but first please tell me what's happened I at least deserve that" Garrett nodded.
" I think we have killed King Adam and yes this is his blood and I don't want you to be caught up in that when it's my mistake not yours. I will see you one last time when me and my brother will be banished to the lost isle like Malificent and Jafar by yourself and the others". Jennifer was sobbing her heart out.
"Jennifer , I'm sorry I love you and Jenna with all my heart, I needed to see you one last time". Garrett said holding his hand over his heart. Garrett opened the door once she was on the other side of the door Jennifer said the final thing to Garrett.
"the only thing left to do Garrett is for me to forgive and forget, I want to forgive you and I want to forget you"Jennifer walked out that night and shut the door behind her only to never see him again until the trial where Garret and Gaston and of course Jenna are banished to Isle of the lost where Jennifer would never see them again or so she thought.
