I own nothing! If you wanna see something that actually belongs to me, go to my youtube channel (mangoXgrapes). Everything on there is about a novel I'm writing with my bff.
Behold! Chapter…4 I believe! Rate! Review! Eat cake!
"Glad to see you too," he smirked. Eliot jumped down, smiling at a very confused Alice.
"Speak, human!" Alice demanded, "How is it that you appeared?!" She was defensive now. It wasn't just Alice and Oz now. I was Alice, Oz, and Eliot. This wasn't a good combo.
"Where's Leo?" Oz butted in with his question.
"Eques could only carry one person." He replied. "He came and found me this morning while I was tending the black roses."
The silence consumed them. Toys floated by in the darkness and Eliot was no longer smiling. Oz looked at his feet. The gaze was too much for him.
Eques walked up behind Alice and snorted, making her jump a little. The unicorn was the same as ever; the same black mane and body; the same dark aura surrounding him.
"Where's Sharon?" You could almost hear the breaking of Oz and Alice's hearts as she muttered the question. Her thoughts pleaded for the best. Sharon was watching them right now. Everything would be fine. Everything was always fine. Sharon was always okay.
"She's been dead for months." Eliot showed no sympathy. He was a cold hearted snake. Alice felt tears come to her eyes. She fought them for as long as possible but a few still silently cascaded down her face.
"Break?" Oz asked. They might as well get the situation straight here and now. "Gilbert?"
Eliot sat on the table and looked him straight in the eyes. He hesitated before he replied. Alice grasped Oz's hand as tight as possible. Oz didn't even wince.
"Break is alright," Eliot informed them, "So is Gilbert. They are living together in Break's quarters. Break is rather heartbroken and Gilbert is in pieces…but physically they're alright."
This news was good but not good enough. Oz pondered on these thoughts. What if Alice was taken from me? What if I had to leave her? What if she… He left this sentence without answer.
"Why are you here then? Why aren't you home with Ada? Why did you leave my sister?"
"She and the baby are fine."
Oz swallowed hard. Baby? He was an uncle and he wasn't there? How long had they been gone? Oz felt his eyes go wide.
"You've been gone almost a year, Oz." He glared at Oz. "Do you have any idea what you put them through!? Losing you once wasn't enough! You just had to tear them apart again didn't you!?!?!"
"But we told everyone…" Alice muttered, ashamed even though it hadn't been directed at her. "We told everyone we were leaving…"
Oz put his arm around her. "What, Eliot?" he demanded, voice rising. "Did you come to retrieve us!?"
"Yes. I did. And I won't accept no as an answer."
Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Ummm…school's been tough and my boyfriends been demanding so…yup! Ummm….I'm working on the break & gilbert chapter and it'll probably be uploaded next week. This is the shortest chapter so far but I DON'T CARE! I like it.
