Chapter 12: All too worst
-Lima, Ohio-
Quinn's car was parked on the side of the road as Harmony pops out on the window. Quinn looked at her.
"Pumpkin pie?" Harmony asked her holding a pumpkin pie in her hands. "I thought you'd like them" Quinn smile and get out of the car.
"Harm? Thank you"
"You're welcome" and they hug each other.
The sit on Quinn's car as a car stops near them. They both didn't know the man.
A blonde man same age as Quinn's get out of the car. Wearing a white tshirt and a black leather kkacket paired with a black jeans and black boots. His face was handsome and her eyes were beautifully hazel.
"Hey!" the guy said to them.
"Hey?" Quinn replied,
"Is this Lima Ohio?"
"Yea—"Quinn answered.
"Is there a place to stay in here? Where I can sleep over night?" asked the guy.
"You're staying?" Harmony asked the man suspiciously.
"That's the plan… I'm looking for a bed"
"Granny's Bed and Breakfast was just about on that corner" Quinn told the guy.
"Thank you" the guy replied and walked on his car.
"Wait! I didn't catch your name!" Quinn shouts at her.
"Name's Sam for now… "said the guy and leave.
After the talk between Rachel and Quinn they haven't talk to each other again after that. Rachel have a quiet boring day everyday but mornings are exceptions. She woke late so she's in hurry, already 7:10 am in her clock, she needs to reach granny's dinner at 15 because she's going to have her morning dose of coffee—well fuck that she just wanted to see Quinn buy her coffee every 7:15 of the morning—that's Rachel's agenda every morning.
She brushed her teeth, wears her jacket and slightly fixed her hair as she ran outside of her house. She's now running in her way to granny's and after she reached the place she saw Brittany and the girl greeted her again.
"Hey Rach, ive been noticing you're becoming early for your morning coffee? What's up?" Brittany said as she put the cup of coffee on top of Rachel's table and pancakes.
"Thanks Brittany, I just didn't want to be late for school… y'know, it's Monday" Rachel said as she grab a spoon turn its shiny back in her face and look at her reflection. She fixed her hair using the metal spoon as her mirror that caught Brittany's attention.
"C'mon Rach, your class starts at nine" Brittany said. Though she knows what makes Rachel got up early and go at granny's she just wanted her friend to say it to her.
"Because we're—we're doing a volcano in class later" Rachel said and Brittany started to assist on other customer as she saw that Quinn's car stop in front of granny's.
"Volcanoes in your music class? Great." Brittany walk out and give Rachel a wink. Just after she wink the bell on the diner rings, it's Quinn, Rachel knows.
Quinn walk passed by Rachel's table—the table that you'll see right before you enter the diner—as Quinn walked passed by her, her eyes slowly traced Quinn's figure from foot to head. As her smile keeps on widening the maybe can rip her face into half.
"One with cinnamon and one black coffee without sugar" Brittany said as she gave the coffee for Quinn.
"Thanks B" Quinn said as she gave the money to the other blonde. Rachel just watch the interaction between the two—just Quinn—but Rachel's heart beats fast as Quinn turn her head on Rachel's direction.
Quinn is a regular customer so Brittany just gave Quinn two cups of coffee and Quinn just going to pay for it.
Quinn walk out of the counter holding the two cup of coffee as she walks towards Rachel's table that are now reading a book—book that was held up side down—Quinn just about to laugh at it but decided to just smile. She reach Rachel's table and talk to the brunette.
"Hey Rach… good morning" Quinn greeted—very smooth Fabray, very smooth—as she gave Rachel the Quinn Fabray deadly smile.
Rachel looks up as if she didn't notice Quinn entered the diner earlier and act as if she's surprise to see Quinn "Oh! Quinn? Good morning…"
"I just stop by to grab some—"she held the coffee up for Rachel to see "—I'm on my way to work"
"Oh? Right the newest sheriff in town" Rachel said as she gave Quinn her megawatt smile.
"Yeah… I still haven't expected that to come" Quinn giggled and Rachel too. They look like high schools flirting on a school cafeteria right now. They smile to each other but the smile fades as they both realized at the same time how they missed each other. "So you're having a part time at animal shelter?" Quinn immediately change the subject.
"Yeah, my class ends at three and I got bored after I resigned on the hospital as a volunteer so y'know… just decided to be on it. I really love everything about nature. It just really calms me with all of these stress I got right now… I need it"
"Uhhh yea sure… I—" Quinn said as she feels that Rachel meant her when she said 'stress' so she just excuse herself on Rachel. "By the way, your book is upside down" Quinn said as she look at Rachel and gave a one last smile. Rachel just mouthed 'fuck' as she turns to the cover.
Quinn decided to just leave the place and Rachel was left on her table with a sad eyes in her face. Rachel turns her back to follow Quinn until the blonde got out of the door. But she didn't expect to see Anne waiting inside of Quinn's car. She still her sight even though she knows what to see next. Quinn entered the car, gave the coffee to Anne and kissed her 'fiancée' it struck Rachel's heart with a lightning million times. That girl should be her, not Anne, or she's just being selfish again. Rachel's tears wanted to flow, but she cant. Quinn made it loud and clear that she chooses Anne over her.
"This is what you call doing a volcano?" Brittany said sitting on the chair in front of her. Rachel immediately look at Brittany and her sight on Quinn is gone. Thanks to Brittany, if she didn't come she's crying right now.
"I was just—"Rachel attempts to start reasoning out but Brittany immediately cut her off.
"I get it" Brittany said and Rachel just tell the truth to her friend.
"Quinn—she came here every 7:15 in the morning to get her coffee… and Anne's"
"Anne's pregnant Rachel"
"I know! I just came here to check on her" Rachel said as her face became sadder.
"So you're a stalker?" Brittany asked innocently as Rachel's eyes goes wider and looked alarmed.
"No… not really" Rachel answered "maybe a little bit? It's not like I'm following her—okay okay, I just know that she goes here every 7:15 to get her coffee and start her shift at the station exactly at 7:30. She'll go home at exactly 6." Rachel said as she recites Quinn's daily routine at her friend.
"Is that all you know?" Brittany said.
"—on Thursdays she picks up Chinese for dinner" Rachel added that makes Brittany smile. "I can't get her out of my head"
"I know, but the first step of getting over her is for you not to show up here tomorrow"
-The Woods-
After the queen knows the relation between the princess and the knight she immediately discharges Lucy out of the kingdom's troop. Lucy is back on her place outside the village with her friends and granny. One day she hunts something for food for the five of them and for Amanda and the kids that she's helping. Lucy and Archie are both on the woods to hunt some deer to eat. Lucy got her bow and start aiming the deer but the animals starts to run away. Quinn is alarmed that someone's presence causes the deer to run away. She ducked her head and slowly approaching where the deer was standing earlier. But she saw her friend Sarah on the spot that relieves her.
"Hey! Its me!" Sarah said as she stood in shocked as she saw that Lucy's arrow was aimed at her.
"Sarah?!" Lucy said still holding the bow aimed at her friend.
"Lucy… the arrow, would you mind?" as she points on Lucy's hand.
"Oh? Sorry" Lucy said as she approaches her friend.
"You're doing okay? I'm here when you need to talk" Sarah offered her friend.
"Its fine—its exactly what I wanted, to be out here… and away from her" Lucy said as Sarah gave her a basket full of berries.
"Here… Bea told me to give you this, she said that Amanda's kids will love this berries"
"Thank you—" Lucy said as she takes hold the basket full of berries "—so how's the Kingdom doing? I'm still not allowed to roam around the village"
"C'mon Lucy, ask what you really wanted" Sarah told her.
"I don't know what you mean" Lucy said looking at the ground. Sarah gave her the most evil smirk "Fine… tell me"
"The wedding's happening… Princess Rose is going to marry that witless Prince Fredrick… In two days time" as Sarah tell the news to Lucy, the knight's heart fall in sadness. "Are you okay?"
"I just thought that spending time here will make things easier… to forget her—but all I do here was think about her"
"I'm so sorry"
"It's just really hard to get her out of my head—" Lucy paused as she saw Sarah's face changed. "—wait, you know something"
"No, I was just—" Sarah said taking a step back.
"Just say it to me… what did you know?!"
"Well… there's this man that can help you, every wish you tell him will come true."
"Who is this man?"
"Hades"
-The Lake-
Lucy row the boat towards the place where she'll meet Hades, she didn't know who this man Sarah is telling her. All did she knows that Hades is the only god that survived after the war between the gods. He must be really powerful. She steps outside the boat and tie it on the dock. As she busy herself to keep the boat in place a man just popped out of nowhere in front of her.
"How much for this?" the man asks Lucy.
"What?!" Lucy answered freaked out by the man.
"The boat, how much is this boat?" the man repeated her words.
"Not for sale" Lucy finishes as she securely tied the boat.
"Of course that is dearie… no one comes to see me without a deal in mind." The man said as he walk toward Lucy. It caught Lucy's attention; she stood up and walk on the man's direction.
"You're Hades?" Lucy slowly ask the words.
"Yes I have, I'm looking forward meeting you" Hades stop on his tract and ask Lucy again "What can I do for you?"
"I—I need a cure…" Lucy said to the man.
"Cure for what?"
"A broken heart?"
"Ahhh… the most painful? But I'll fix it" Hades walk in circles as he spoke "Well I'm afraid you want me to make her love you I can't do… nothing can do."
"No no no, it's not the problem… we can't be together"
"Well that! I can help you with…" Hades grab a vial from his pocket dip it into the water. He lift the vial up and take hold of it. The clear water turned into a solid white liquid.
"Is it done?" Lucy asked as she saw what just happened.
"Not yet—No true love are exactly alike, we must make this personal" he walk toward Lucy and snatch a strands of hair from Lucy's golden hair.
"So if I drink that? I will no longer love her?"
"Next time you see the object of your grieve, you'll no longer remember who she is"
"I won't remember her?"
"Love is the most powerful magic but also love makes us sick, haunt us in dreams. Love has killed more people than you know dearie, this cure for you is a gift." Hades said handling the bottle to Lucy.
"What's your price?"
"Just this!" Hades said as she show Lucy's hair in his hands.
"What do you want from my hair?"
"You don't have to know because it already plucked from your hair… so do we have a deal?"
"A deal"
"I thought so… stay in good health, your name?"
"L"
"L? Simple but mysterious name. Take care L"
-Woods-
Rachel is on the grocery store as she picks her menus for the week. She picked some vegetables fruits and dairy alternatives. As she made a turn she was crashed into someone, Anne. Anne and Rachel's basket both fell on the ground. Anne picked Rachel's vegetables and put it on the brunette's basket, while Anne's thing was just few and Rachel help her pick it up.
Rachel leaned down and picks a box fell from Anne's basket, it's a pregnancy test kit. Rachel gave the kit fast o Anne as the blonde thank her.
"Thank you… I'm so sorry about what happened" Anne said.
"No it's my fault. I wasn't looking" Rachel said as Shelby comes in the conversation.
"Really?" Shelby said as she walks next to Anne, who came with the woman to go shopping. But Rachel didn't mind Shelby in there.
"Good luck with that…" Rachel said and Anne walked away fast as Shelby came face to face with Rachel.
"Their lives are their business—not yours" Rachel nod slowly as she gritted her teeth and Shelby followed Anne's way.
Rachel walked out of the store and put her things on the cars passenger seat as she takes her seat inside the car. She's on her way to the shelter. She has a 3pm to 7pm shift at the animal shelter every weekdays and 8am to 5pm every Saturdays. Rachel keeps herself busy just to forget about everything that happened.
Quinn is on duty patrolling around the town. It's time for her to check the woods to make sure that the people on this town will just keep in peace for Shelby to stop telling that every unusual things that happened is because of her. Not from a far distance Quinn hear a cuckoo of a bird. She follows the sound and she saw a bird trap in a net.
"Who will do this to a little bird? Seriously?" Quinn picked the bird and didn't know what to do about this so she decided to go to the animal's shelter. She hasn't forgotten that Rachel will be there too. "It's going to be okay" Quinn said to the bird… and herself.
Quinn walked in on the animal shelter and was greeted by a black man on the counter and Rachel on her side.
"Hey need some help" Quinn said holding the bird with her two hands and hold it up. The doctor take the bird and examines it as Quinn and Rachel stands awkwardly and look at each other every five seconds and exchange awkward smile. The doctor started to speak.
"The good news is no broken bones—she's just a little dehydrated but I got her some fluids and she's now fine" the doctor said.
"What kind of bird is that?" Quinn asked out of the blue.
"Well it's a north Atlantic dove, it's a migratory specie and is very unique amongst American doves. They tend to form a strong monogamist flock—"
"Meaning I need to get her back with her flock—"Quinn said slowly and Rachel interrupt her.
"—or else she'll be alone forever" Rachel said looking at Quinn.
"You two are right… it's a long shot but the alternative is for her to stay and heal, but she won't be happy here" and they look at each other's eyes again.
"I'll take my chances" Quinn said to the doctor and grab the cage where the doctor place the bird. "Thank you doctor"
"You're very welcome sheriff" the doctor responded. "Good luck" and the guy leaves.
"Quinn there's a strong storm coming… I've watched it on TV this morning, you shouldn't go out there."
"The storm will come tomorrow Rach, and if I didn't do this—this little thing here will be alone forever… completely alone."
"Then I'm coming with you… I know things about nature, its kinda my hobby before."
"I don't need a hand Rach, I'll be fine"
Quinn got out of the animal shelter as Rachel watched her over the glass door of the shelter. Quinn places the cage on the sheriff's car back seat, as Quinn closed the back seat door Shelby came wearing a heavy jacket as the wind blows hard.
"What do you want now madam mayor? If you're trying to find some things to blame me about the coming storm I must tell you that it's a little bit too much and far already." Quinn said and there a sign of being tired of Shelby's shits in her tone.
"I just wanted you to do something sheriff. Someone's in town, someone new."
"Yes, I met him. I gave him directions to Granny's last night."
"You talked to him?! What did he say?"
"Just directions I said… no big deal. Now why do you care?"
"I don't know? No one knows about anything, there's something about him… something familiar."
"Maybe it's just one of the untold curses"
"What?"
"Oh! Y'know… the curse, Harmony calls about these 'unusual things'"
"Quinn—I mean Sheriff, I need you to find out everything about him and what he's doing here"
"As much as I know there's no law against visiting Lima, Ohio."
"I'm not talking about the law Fabray, you're gonna do this because I asked you to and because it's the right thing to do."
"—and why is that?"
"Because he's in front of my house, and I think he's interested on the only thing we botch care about—Harmony"
"I—I'll do what I can do… but I'm just going to saved this little thing in there madam mayor, so if you may"
"Sure"
Quinn started the car and drive her way to the woods where she found the little bird. The weather is pretty bad right now and the wind is still blowing hard, while the clouds were gone and the sky appeared gray. Its thundering now a bit but Quinn keep on her way. She get out of the car took the little bird off.
"You hear that little birdie? That's your flock!" Quinn talks to the bird. Quinn put the cage down on the ground and scans the sky. She looked around and this place of the woods is familiar, something that she cant explain, she felt home. Her thoughts were cut by a scream from a near place. She recognize the voice—Rachel's.
She grab the cage and run after the direction of the sound. She saw Rachel hanging on a cliff that gets hold on a large root of the three. Quinn puts the cage down and get Rachel.
"Calm down…"
"Why would I calm down Quinn?! help me!"
"Fuck Rach I need you to calm the fuck down first!" Quinn take a hold on the other roots that is strong enough to hold her and Rachel. "Take my hand, slowly" Rachel did. Quinn pulled Rachel up then Rachel hugged Quinn. "I told you not to come Rach, look what happened. You're okay?" Quinn said as Rachel saw the sincerity in her eyes.
"I'm fine thank you" Rachel grab the cage herself and started running.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Quinn said as the blonde run after Rachel.
"I came here to help you find her flock!" Rachel shouted without looking back.
"I can do that myself Rach! Please stop now! Believe me! You'll got hurt!" Quinn shouted and it starts raining with thunder. "Give me the cage and I'll help her find the flock, you need to go!"
"No! I'm not coming home without you!"
"Rachel its unsafe for you to be here!"
"—unsafe for you too!"
"Okay okay—god Rach you're so stubborn! Lets find a place to settle first! The rain is getting stronger, come with me!" Quinn took her jacket off and put it on Rachel's head.
"No Quinn, you need that—"
"I'm protecting the cage Rach, just hold her tight" the run on their way Quinn's right hand was wrap around Rachel and Rachel's both hands were holding the cage.
The two reach the lake all wet and cold. Quinn saw a quiet big house near the lake and point at it.
"There!" she said to Rachel and they both run on the house. "C'mon!"
As they reach the house Rachel made her way to the door "Hello?! Is anyone in there?!" Rachel shouted as the thunder continues to make loud noise. Quinn scans every window to see if anyone's inside, "—is it empty?"
Rachel was answered as Quinn kicked the door and it opened the house, Quinn surveyed for the house before letting Rachel in. Quinn closed the door and Rachel sit on one of the chair on the table. Quinn makes her way on the fire place and set fire to the remaining woods on the fire place.
"Qui—Quinn I'm so sorry"
"Rach this is nobody's fault okay? Come here and dry yourself."
"Do you think we're going in jail because we broke in on someone's house?"
"Do you think I'll put myself to jail Rach? I the sheriff remember?"
"Oh—right." Rachel just said as Quinn took of her jacket, grab some blanket on a bedroom with four small beds. She wrap the blanket around Rachel's small body but Rachel refuse to the comfort Quinn's giving her.
"I—I'm just tryin' to help. What's going on with you lately?" Quinn asked wrapping the blanket one more time that Rachel takes this time.
"What's—going on?" Rachel broke into sobs, this idiot in front of her knows nothing. "What's going on Quinn? what's going on is you Quinn!"
"What?" completely oblivious where this talk will got her.
"—the one I'm waiting at Granny's every 7:15… is you. I don't know why I keep doing it, every time I see you it feels horrible because it reminds me that you chooses Anne over me" Rachel said as she continue sobbing and Quinn just stares at her little by little starting to smile. "Look at me now; I'm here again on the woods with you even if you refuse to be with me. Even being around you is too painful for me. I this idiot keeps following you around—maybe I'm just enjoying to see myself in pain lately."
Quinn giggled.
"So this is funny for you? Do you think this is funny Quinn Fabray?!"
"No Rach, No. It's just that I went to granny every morning at 7:15… to see you." Rachel look at Quinn's smiling face, Quinn slowly cupped Rachel's face a they never leave the sight of each other. The connection is there, everything felt real, everything felt familiar. This place, this girl, Rachel in her arms, Quinn thought. Quinn lowered her face and angled herself on Rachel's face. Quinn wanted to feel this familiarity, the realness on Rachel. She wanted a kiss, just a kissed, their eyes met halfway, Quinn closed her eyes, their lips are inch apart, they're both aching for a intimate contact with each other. Quinn still eyes closed as Rachel just stared at Quinn's face. Quinn's lip touched Rachel's upper lip but with that simple touch Rachel pushed Quinn away.
"We cant do this" Rachel whispers to their close distance
"What are you talking about?" Quinn said.
"Quinn I need to tell you something…"
"What something?"
"About… Anne"
"What about her?"
"She buy some pregnancy test kit at the store earlier I saw her"
"Yes I know, because were having a baby—I need to tell you something Rach, about my—"
"—I already know Quinn, I keep noticing that around whenever you cook for me before—"
"I—"
"Its okay Quinn, can I ask you something?"
"Ask away"
"Are you and Anne still making love?"
"I—Yes why?"
"Quinn she's not pregnant—"
"Rachel what are you talking about? You just cant accuse—"
"She wont but that pregnancy test kit if she's already sure or if she really is pregnant Quinn! She's still trying to have a baby with you, haven't you notice that?!" Rachel explained to Quinn as she saw the blonde's torn apart "She's without a kid Quinn" the blonde's expression was constant blur. "You didn't know? She haven't told you?"
"No she didn't—"
"But you two are trying?"
"Yes… No!—I thought she just wanted to make love with me, I didn't know that she's still not pregnant"
"Shhhh… listen, the rain had stopped" Rachel walk on the cage and grab it and run outside.
"Rachel, wait" Quinn said grabbing her jacket.
The two reach the place where they'll set the poor bird free.
"The flock didn't leave" Rachel said as she looked up and saw the flock above her; she gave the cage to Quinn, opened I and grab a hold to the bird. "Show me you can do it" Rachel freed the bird and saw as she joins her flock. Rachel was giggling as Quinn smile looking at her. Quinn hold the cage I her left hand and slowly hold Rachel hand with her other hand. Rachel hold the hand back and said "Quinn… its still too painful"
Quinn and Rachel came face to face and Quinn said, "It doesn't have to, we don't know if Anne's really pregnant and that's the thing that keeps holding me back"
"No Quinn, this isn't right"
"I know! But I still have feelings for you"
"You cant have us both…"
"—but I do have both, I know it doesn't even makes sense because I have this two conflicting lives, memories and feelings for her and real feelings for you"
"Those feelings are not real"
"I cant get you out of my head—"
"—I know, me too… but were going to have to, were just going to forget each other." And Rachel walked out. She just cant keep Quinn hurting her, this is too much for her anymore.
-Genovia's castle-
Princess Rose is on the balcony of her room. Standing, wondering, missing her knight. Where's Lucy? Where Lucy is when you need her most, Rose's thought.
"Rose? What are you doing up here dear? You're absence is felt" Queen Athalia said as she entered the room holding a gold adorned box. "Well in your honor, I got this little gift from Prince Fredrick that maybe can arise you from your chamber." The queen opened the box and revealed a beautiful crown on the princess. From the way it looks with diamonds and gold and everything surely from Prince Fredrick's kingdom.
"Why you're giving me that? That crown can feed the whole kingdom for months!"
"The king wanted you to wear that while marrying his son Fredrick. Once that marriage was done, we can feed the whole kingdom and give them prosperity in eternity. Can you show some enthusiasm with you Princess Rose?"
"Enthusiasm isn't part of the deal, the wedding is in two days and I'll honor your wishes."
"I want your heart, not just your honor."
"My heart shall belong to Fredrick, are you delighted now?"
"Don't fool around on me Rose, don't say that your little heart belongs to Fredrick if they're not—" Rose tried to talk but the Queen interrupt her "—Don't deny, I know that look. Who is he? Or lets say who is she?!"
"Why do you suddenly care?"
"I don't… forget her!"
"You speak that as if it's so easy—"
"Nobility was not meant to be easy, all is wealth, we have power over people. Do you think that comes at no costs?"
"I asked for none of it"
"You chose it, to be my daughter. I save your dad from grief and sadness and you should be thankful about that."
"It wasn't charity my mother, it was the only way to get you out from you own mother, and you're doing the same thing to me. You are just so much alike her"
"Watch your mouth young woman, the choice you'll made, the road that you're gonna take, full of choices. What I am now is what I chose—"
"So you chose to be like her?"
"I said keep your mouth shut—all these because of that knight? Wake up my Princess. Do everything to get her out of your head! Because nothing's gonna stop this wedding"
Queen Athalia walked out of the Princess' room and shut the door with a loud bang. Princess Rose hurried her way to her desk search for a parchment and quill and start writing something. Dearest Lucy—she finished the letter tied it on a birds feet and let fly and find her knight, her love.
-The woods-
Lucy is sitting on the porch of the house near the lake where she live with granny and her friends that treated her like a family. She stays here and never go back to the kingdom after queen Athalia tell her to get lost herself. She's holding the vial with a solid white color liquid inside. It's the potion 'Hades' gave her to forget Princess Rose. She's holding it raises it and she felt someone lands on her hand. It's a little bird with a tied letter on the feet.
She knows that bird, Rose's love them. She got the letter, rolled it off and read it.
Dearest Lucy,
I haven't heard anything about you since the day Queen talked to you. Where are you? You're the only happiness I saw and desired and I must let you know, no time goes by that I haven't thought about you. In two days time I'll be marrying Prince Fredrick, Come to me before then, Come to me and show me that you feel the same so that we can be together forever. But if you don't, then I'll have my answer.
Rose
Lucy didn't waste time anymore; she got out from her seat change into her robe and brought a basket full of flowers and walk in the kingdom. The whole kingdom is busy for the wedding and that just keep Lucy from doing this thing. She sneaks inn and the guard let her come in. she knew how to deal with these guys; she becomes one of them in such times. She sneaks in and got to the room where she knows where Princess Rose will be. She heard someone's coming and she immediately found a safe place to hide. As the step entered the room that she knows belongs to Princess Rose, she shows herself. As she's walking to Rose's a hand grab her from her back and everything went black.
-The Cell-
Lucy woke up at a dark place with iron bars separating you from the hallway. This is the prison where they use to put thieves that had been caught.
She knows she cant escape here but she's trying, she needs no more wasting time, Rose is waiting for her.
"What's the matter Knight?" a guy in the other cell talk to her, she cant see the face of the man and the man continue talking "The steel gets stronger while we get weaker, you cant get out of here. I'm telling you there's no way out…" then she saw a man, a small old man. "I'm grumpy, my name is grumpy"
"There is a way out, and I'll find it" Lucy said as the thing she pokes with the lock fall.
"If you say so…"
"Yes! I have someone outside this cell waiting for me, I love her so much that I need to get out of here!"
"Love eh? Good luck with that" said grumpy.
"What do you know about love?" Lucy asked the man.
"That's why I'm stuck with this hole, I had it bad she's so beautiful as fairy. I'm so desperate to get her back so I came up with a plan, I work at the diamond mines, traded my wages to a diamond to propose, but I got… swindled. There was a stolen rock and I took the blame, I'm no thief, but they think I am, I should've known better, but I wasn't thinking clearly because I loved and here I am… trapped, with no way out—"
"I know a way out!" Lucy heard it, she identify the voice.
"Archie!"
"You ready to go home?" Archie said to Lucy. Archie is one of Lucy's friends. He's been there ever since for Lucy, he's like Lucy's protector. Archie unlock Lucy's cell and do the same on grumpy.
Grumpy goes to the other way as Lucy and Archie but Lucy called grumpy's attention.
"Grumps! Good luck, hope you're get your love back" and they got it separate ways.
On Lucy and Archie way out they here a guard shouting.
"A prisoner's out! Over here!" a guard said Lucy looked from far and so that they caught grumpy.
"Lucy what do you think you're doing?!" Archie shouts as Lucy attempts to run but caught by Archie.
"They just wanted me… not him!" Lucy said.
"But—" Archie shakes his head and followed her friend back.
"Hide behind that barrel, I'll go in there. Just tell Bea and Sarah that I Love them so much." Lucy said.
"Are you insane!?Hey—Lucy come back here!" Archie didn't reach Lucy and run on grumpy.
"Where is the girl?" Queen Athalia asked grumpy as Lucy hide on the barrel nearer the scene as Archie followed.
"What girl?!" Grumpy said. The guard stands behind grumpy cut the man's head off.
"Lucy!" Archie shouts and she looked over at her friend. She saw Archie held by a guard.
"Looking for me?" Lucy shows herself out from the barrel as she stands on the pile of hay holding a torch that was lit with a fire. "Let him go or this place will… burn."
"Be gone boy" the queen said and the guards release Archie.
"Go Arch, just tell them what I told you." The guard kicked Archie and he run off. As much as he hated living Lucy, he needed to because Lucy told him so.
"Now Lucy, we need to talk." the queen said and they bring Lucy on the queen's room.
-Queen's room-
"So you're the one?" the Queen said.
"I don't know—"
"Enough! I know everything—" Athalia said as she raised the letter written by the Princess to Lucy. "—you poisoned her heart, now her marriage because of that? The entire kingdom will suffer because of YOUR feelings."
"I wished that my feeling could help but they can't"
"Of course they can't. Love is a disease, like all diseases they can be vanquished in one of two ways; the cure or death. Do you know where are your beloved is right now? She's right down that hallway packing for her new life" the queen said pointing on the hallway.
"She'll never know I'm here" Lucy said.
"Oh yes she will—" with this Lucy smiled but faded again after she heard the rest of the queen's proposition "—because you're gonna walk down that hallway knight, you're gonna sneak in and tell her you received her letter. Tell her why you're here, because you DON'T love her. You'll break my Princess' heart. That will cure her—"
"—or you'll kill me?"
"Oh no… I'll kill her! Killing you will just make her love you more, the marriage and the kingdom will easily get crumbled, but if she'll die in assassin's hand. Prince Fredrick is too oblivious to notice what really happened, so the merger will still be completed."
"You'll do that to you daughter?"
"She's. Not. My. Daughter!"
Lucy is now standing on this familiar room. Where she secretly meeting Princess Rose, now she's standing here to break her heart. She walked in and saw Rose. It melts her heart. She's not born to cry so she won't.
"Rose?" Lucy muttered, the princess turned around her so the love of her life.
"My knight?" Rose said that any moment can break into tears.
"I got your letter…"
"You came—" Rose run on Lucy's direction, she tip toed just to hug Lucy by her neck "—you came" Rose kept saying repeatedly. Lucy returned the hug that broke the Princess into tears. "You came…" Rose leveled her eyes on Lucy's and kissed the knight. But Lucy just pushed her away.
"Wait Rose—Us? It can't happen." Lucy said.
"Wha—what's wrong? Of course we can! We can go, wherever you wanted to go… we can be together, we can beat all of these! They can't hurt us, as long as I'm with you I know nobody can hurt as… now you came and I know that you love me back—" Rose was cut off by Lucy.
"—I don't" Lucy continued.
"Wha—what?" Rose stood frozen clapped her hands on her face as tear flows in her face.
"—love you. I don't love you, I'm sorry. You said that I'll always be in your heart, which is too cruel of fate, going in your way. Because there's no place for us—" Rose is dead, she feel like she dying repeatedly "—fill your heart with love for someone else, the one that can love you the way I never had… the—the way i—I never will." Lucy grab the Princess hands, open it and gave her the letter and kissed Rose's hands.
Lucy walked away; as she takes her step away from her life she can't do anything anymore. Rose's is all she ever had, Rose is the only one she had for real. But now she's walking away from her, a knight tear fell from her face. She's not live to cry, she live to love but now she lives to die.
As princess Rose felt a retreating Lucy, she slumped herself down the floor and cry hard as it gets, she just wanted this pain to go away. To never come back, but the ghost of her love for Lucy will continue and will be forever haunt her. She feels pain, but love is taken her over. She can't let her do this, Lucy fight for her all the way and Rose is not a typr of person who will believe on this. The queen is the one behind this. She can't do this to her.
Lucy walked outside the kingdom and she saw Archie… and Bea and Sarah. She took a one last sight of the castle and walked towards her friends.
"You okay Lucy?" Sarah asked as the three of them joined Lucy to walk. "You didn't found her?"
"—it's worst. I lost her."
"C'mon we're going home" Beatrice said.
"You're coming home with us Lucy—"Archie said and Sarah finish him off.
"—and we're going to protect you."
"But I think I don't need someone to protect me because I'm already broken into shred. My heart just broken into small pieces" Lucy said, they made a full stop as Beatrice reach for Lucy's hand and look at her.
"You'll get better, I promise."
"—We promise" said Archie and Sarah at the same time. Lucy got something in her pocket a vial with a white liquid.
"Yes it will. I'll forget about all my feelings—" Lucy said as she hold the bottle up. "—all of my pain, all I have to do is drink this" Lucy opened the vial but Archie stops her.
"No!" Archie said placing the cork on the vial again.
"Why? Of all people you guys should understand. I've lost love and I want my pain erased!" Lucy said.
"Lucy listen to me… that pain? You'll need that pain. That'll make you who you are! It makes you brave like a knight! You're still our knight Lucy! Look around you, you're not alone and never will. We'll gave you all the care you need, If the pain is too much, you can always drink it. But for today, put it away." Beatrice said to her dear friend. She's right. Beatrice always has been the most intelligent of the four.
"Okay" and Lucy keep the bottle away.

"Why? Is it illegal to carry a box in this town?"
"No! of course its not"
"You really wanna know what's inside it don't you?"
"No!—well maybe?" Quinn said sitting on the chair.
"I'll make you wait, wait for a long time and watch me carry it around—" Quinn's brows rise up as the man speaks "—hauling it to strange and mysterious places, and because of that the mystery will become more tantalizing, you're imagination will inflamed but so will your frustrations, never knowing, only guessing—what could possibly be inside that box… or? I'll buy you a drink sometime and tell you what's inside of that box right now."
"You'll buy me a drink?"
"Yes…"
"Okay get me that hella drink, now open the box."
The man took the box, place it on the table and opened it.

"Wait what about that drink?"
"I said sometimes… " then the guy leaves the place.

Quinn stares at the clock a moment and look at Anne again "No, Why don't we go downstairs and have some breakfast instead?" Quinn said as she hold Anne's hands with both of her hands.

"Then I'll find her… I'll always find her… we're always gonna find away to see each other" Rose said. "She'll do everything for me, and she proved that multiple times already. Now I am the one who'll prove it to her."
Bea smiles at her "I'm glad you didn't believe what she said to you… go she's just inside, she told me she didn't want some visitors, but I think you'll need to see her. She's there, with Arch and Sarah"
