Disclaimer: I own nothing from fable or it characters Or temporary home by Carrie Underwood . In the last chapter I told it from Belle's point of view and I will keep doing that so when she does talk her name will NOT be displayed as the other characters names are.


Reaver left me to get undressed and back into my practical suite I hated it when he acted like I didn't care. What do I have to do to make him understand I care about him and Merida like my family. I was tried of it but if I bring it up any further he is liable to become distant again. Oh well I'll drop it for now, I got into my practical suite and went into the garden and found Merida sitting on one of the benches.

"What are you doing out here"?

Merida:" I thought I would come sit out here and wait for daddy to stop being upset."

"That would probably be my fault I'm sorry Merida."

Merida:" Its all right I just hope he stops being upset and becomes happy soon."

She then yawn and put her head on my lap like she always did when she was tired.

"Well Merida I think its time for you to take a nap."

Merida: "Alright."

I picked her up and carried her to her room like I did when she was littler but unlike usual she didn't fight me she was very tired she seem a little drained to which isn't surprising the past two days have been a little exciting. I got her into bed and tucked her in but before I closed the door she asked me to sing her a lullaby. I agreed and went and sat by her bed and started to sing.

" A Little boy, six years old. A little too used to bein' alone, another new with mom and dad another school, Another house that'll never be home. When people ask him how he likes this place, He looks up and says with a smile upon his face..."

She was asleep after the first verse so I got up and left the room and closed the door behind me I saw Derek coming down the hall he looked frustrated.

"Derek what's wrong?"

Derek:" Well Aries seems to think that your fiancé is angry at you and they started fighting about mother and you and the past in the throne room so you might want to go down there and help stop it.

"Where is mother?"

Derek:" She and Logan had to get some things from Bowerstone and they won't be back for at least an other hour ."

He then turned around and left me alone as I started my way to the throne room. The doors were closed but instead of going in I put my ear to the door and I heard them shouting at each other about the my betrothal to Reaver.

Aries: "The only reason you even proposed this whole arrangement is because you couldn't have Sparrow so you thought my daughter would be the next best thing!"

Reaver: " Aries if that were true I would have already gone after Sparrow I mean Belle as already resurrected her and besides she is more Alex's daughter then yours, you just showed up in her life five months ago !"

Aries:" How dare you! The only reason you haven't gone after Sparrow is because you know she doesn't want anything to do with you. She hates you and as soon as Belle realizes you are just a no good thief she will hate you too!"

I couldn't take it any more I was tired of my family accusing him of not loving me so I opened the door and walked right up in front of my father and slapped him across the face and grabbed Reaver and took him out of the throne room and to my room and closed the door and locked it. I then pushed him onto the bed and started pacing.

"I can't believe you fought with my father after everything that has happened between you two and after what you've seen what we can become if we are angry enough are you not thinking with your head or what are you doing."

Reaver:" First of are you not thinking I mean slapping your father and then grabbing me like that and taking me straight to your room."

"Uh"

I unlocked my door and went running out of my room and went to the sanctuary and then to Millfields. I need to get away from every one for a while so I went back to the temple of the gods it was the only place I could think of that they wouldn't search for a while. I meditated in there for a while feeling calm and relaxed I went back to the castle on foot when I arrived I found them all fighting and Merida playing with her toys she was the first to see me . I think if she hadn't seen me I could have probably sneaked past them till I wanted to stop them.

Merida: "Mommy !"

She ran over and gave me a hug and a look of relief began to spread on both my father and Marcus' face. Derek then walked over to me and gave me a hug too.

Derek:" Belle I'm sorry for everything I have asked you to do in the past year but I have one last question for you."

"What is it Derek?"

Derek:" Will you be my spymaster?"
