Dark Mina: I think you guys are going to love this chapter!
Puck: Of course they will…. I'm in it.
Dark Mina: Get out of here! I'm still mad at you.
Ash: Go Dark! Pull out your cellphone!
Puck: Don't do that!
Dark Mina: Stop yelling! It's getting so loud!
Ash: Look who's talking.
Dark Mina: Shut-up!
Puck: He's right.
Dark Mina: I'd shut-up if I were you guys or I'll make it so both of you are dead in the story.
Puck: Well, let's not be too hasty here.
Ash: Puck, shhhh. Dark, if you'd please start the story.
Dark Mina: That's more like it.
Recap: I heard Puck and Mom talking about Titania still being as rude as ever and bossy as ever. I looked at Thorn and she was sound asleep, I smiled and kissed her forehead. Feeling the sleep after kissing her and closed my eyes and slept.
Thorn
Hearing my dad's laughter I turned to my side, my arm going around someone- a boy some. Oh please tell me Dad isn't laughing at me! I thought worried.
"Kierran! Thorn! What are you two doing?" Meghan yelled.
I looked up Kierran? Kierran was resting next to me his arm around, I blushed noticing Meghan and Dad was at my door.
"Uh oh," I mumbled.
Dad was holding his stomach leaning against the wall as he laughed, and Meghan was looking at me and Kierran with shock, her jaw was practically hitting the floor.
"I know how this may look, but nothing happened," I said sitting up.
"Oh really?" Meghan asked looking from me to Kierran. "Then why is my son laying next to you in your bed?"
"He was too tired after a…. ogre and Winter fey attacked us," I said quickly.
Dad instantly stopped laughing and looked at me, "When?"
"Earlier today," I said.
"Where?"
"In the Wyldwood."
"Didn't we tell you two to stay away from there?" Meghan yelled waking Kierran.
"Yeah, but we're kids what do you expect?" I asked glancing at Dad.
Dad nodded, "She has a point."
Meghan shook her head as Kierran nudged me. I looked down at him and he mouthed, "What's going on?" I looked at his mom and pulled back my hair showing my cheek that got hit by the ring. Kierran understood right away and pretended to still be asleep.
I sighed and looked at Dad saying, "Can you please integrate us later? I'm super tired after being shot by ice and getting a burnt by ring."
"What do you mean 'burnt by a ring'?" Meghan asked looking at me.
"The Winter threw an iron ring at me," I answered.
"Her hand was blistered from it," Kierran added tiredly.
I looked at him and held back a smile hiding my emotions, but when I looked back at Dad and Meghan Dad's eyes were on me. I felt like he was looking right threw me then he smiled and walked out pulling Meghan with him saying something about leaving the young one to sleep together.
I sat there staring at the door wondering if my emotions accidently shown, but then Kierran slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me down next to him. I looked at him his blue eyes staring meeting mine. For a second I stopped breathing as he smiled and pulled me close to him. I smiled and nestled into his chest. He put his arms around me making me feel safe and protected.
Kierran
As I held Thorn I let my emotions show, Thorn did the same but I saw… fear? Why would she be feeling fear? I looked down at her pulling her away.
"What is it?" She asked even though I'm sure she already knew.
"Why are you worried?" I asked
She looked down nervous and embarrassment surrounding her. I sighed and gently lifted her head towards me.
"What's the matter?" I asked leaning closer to her, she can't resist me.
"I'm worried someone might figure out how we feel about each other, what we've done together, what we're doing right now. Your mom and my dad are right outside and you mom is the queen of The Iron Realm! If she walked in we would be dead!" Thorn explained.
"That won't happen, I'll do anything to keep you from harm's way," I whispered surprising Thorn.
She nodded and we laid silently for a while until Thorn fell asleep. I watched her smiling then Puck poked he head in. Uh oh I thought as he looked at me.
"Is she asleep?" Puck asked as he closed the door behind him. I just nodded wondering what he was going to do. "Good," Puck surprised me by saying.
"Um, Goodfellow what do you want?" I asked hiding my emotions.
"I saw how Thorn looked at you and of course I see how you look at her," Puck said, I gulped nervously. "All I want to say is be careful, alright?"
I stared at Puck in disbelieve and asked, "You're not going to give us to Oberon or Mab or my mom?"
"Of course not, Thorn is my daughter and you're my best friends' son."
I just stared at him until he walked out. Then I looked at Thorn still sleeping soundly, she felt warm and looked beautiful, as usual. I smiled and pulled her close then letting myself drift to sleep.
~Dream World~
Running out of the Wyldwood into Tir Na Nog feeling cold already, I look back and forth then see Thorn and the Winter faery fighting. The Winter had a dagger to Thorn's throat, but when I tried to run towards them my feet didn't move then I tried to yell to Thorn but again nothing happened. Thorn! I thought desperately, don't die! Beat her! You have to! I looked around but couldn't find anything that could help me or Thorn.
Thorn
I woke up to Kierran holding me tightly saying my name. I looked at him fear painted on his face. I began to worry and shook him awake.
"Kierran?" I said.
His eyes fluttered open as he noticed as he noticed it was just a dream. "I hate being human when this happens," he said after a moment.
"Nightmare?" I asked. He nodded. "What happened?"
Kierran took a deep breath and said, "You and that… that Winter girl were fighting and she was winning, and all I could do was sit there and watch."
I stared at him for a moment then said, "It was just a dream I wouldn't worry too much about it."
He smiles nodding, "You always know the right thing to say."
I smile back then Meghan walked into the room. Kierran and I acted like we were asleep as she walked to Kierran's side. She shook him lightly like I did minutes ago. I felt him turn and look up at his mother.
"Yes?" he asked drowsy.
"We should go just in case Ash starts worrying," Meghan said.
Kierran nodded and gently moved his arm from under me. He whispered his goodbye as he did and gave me a secret kiss on the cheek. I tried not to smile until Meghan and Kierran were out of my room.
Once I heard my door close I opened my eyes and grinned, Kierran is such a sweet heart sometimes. Sitting up I heard Dad say goodbye to Meghan, but after they left Dad walked into my room looking very grave.
I stared at him and asked, "Is something the matter?"
"I want to know about that winter faery that attached you and-" Dad took a moment until he said, "-how long have you been in love with Kierran?"
My eyes widen with shock as I ask, "H-how did you know?"
Dad looked at me with sad eyes, "You look at Kierran the same way I look at Meghan."
Ash: *Glares at Puck*
Puck: *Whistles avoiding eye contact with Ash*
Dark Mina: Well, since these two are being so quiet *smiles sweetly* I'll begin with sorry again for it taking a while, but school is coming for me.
Puck: It's what schools do best.
Ash: Puck, I can't believe you still-
Dark Mina: *Covers Ash's mouth* Yes, it is the best thing they do. Now then, leave a review!
Ash: *Yelling something under Dark's hand*
Puck: Well, I should go. *walks away quickly*
