Dark Mina: Well, time for Kierran and Electra's date!
Ash: My poor boy.
Puck: That poor girl.
Ash: Excuse me? *pulls out his sword* what did you just say?
Puck: Did I say that out loud?
Dark Mina: *sarcastically* Noooo, of course not.
Puck: Then why does Ice-boy look so mad?
Dark Mina: *face palm*
Recap: I just sat there trying to think of an excuse, but when I didn't Glitch suggested, "Maybe you two should start spending time together and get to know each other."
"That's a good idea, don't you agree Kierran?" Mom asked me smiling at me with that say-yes-or-else smile.
"Sure," I agreed with a small smile.
"Great! We should start hanging out this instant!" Electra yelled excitedly and took my arm dragging us out of the throne room.
As we went out the door I looked back to see Dad watching us shaking his head, guess he feels as bad as I do about the whole thing.
Kierran
Electra first dragged me outside to an Iron horse. I was wondering where she was taking me as she climbed onto the horse.
"Get on," Electra demanded.
I tried not to sigh and climbed on. She smiled and started running off before I could even get myself settled.
As we rode through the Iron Court, Electra kept talking and talking about herself and her life. At first, I was listening about how she was planning to go to the human world and get a nose piercing, then get a tattoo of a digital number one on her wrist because she's a number one. I tried my best not to roll my eyes, but come on, can she be serious? A number one in my book is a person who doesn't consider themselves a number one and takes care of others before themselves.
Electra kept talking, but I just looked around at the scenery thinking about Thorn. I hoped to see her at Tir Na Nog and maybe get to dance with her before Electra smothers me the rest of the night. Sometimes I wish I could just be a Summer fey, but oh well I guess.
Electra finally stopped and jumped off the horse at a trod, but I stayed on wondering why we were at a trod to the human world. Is she going to drag me with her to get her nose pierced and get her tattoo? I wondered as I watched Electra walk over to the trod.
"Are you coming with me?" she asked noticing I wasn't following.
"Tell me why we're going to the human world first," I demanded calmly.
She sighed as she replied, "I wanted to go see a movie then thought we could get lunch or something, you know like a date."
I just sat there with the word date going through my head over and over again. A date with Electra? I haven't even had an actual date with Thorn. I thought then asked, "What kind of movie?"
She stood thinking quietly for a short time before answering, "Maybe a comedy or drama, what do you want to see?"
I just shrugged and climbed off the horse. Once I was close enough to Electra she took my hand and we walked into Las Vegas; I only knew that by a big flashy sign though.
"Las Vegas?" I asked looking over at Electra.
"Yeah, I love this place," she answered already walking to her destination.
I followed Electra, who was still holding my hand, wondering where exactly we were going when I saw a movie theater. We walked inside and looked at all of the movies available. We ended up deciding to watch a comedy with a teddy bear in it.
After the movie, we walked to a diner. It was small, but still nice, plus there weren't a lot of people around. We sat at a table closest to the door and waited for the waitress to come over to take our order for drinks. Electra asked for coffee, which surprised me at first, and I asked for Dr. Pepper. Electra let out a giggle as the waitress walked away.
"What?" I asked her confused.
"Dr. Pepper? Seriously?" she asked with a smile.
"What's wrong with Dr. Pepper?"
"It's soda, I thought you would get something more…." She trailed off trying to think of the word then just waved a hand dismissing the whole thing. "Anyway, let's talk about us."
"Um, what about us?" I asked. I was fine until she said that and began to regret the date all over again.
"You know, our future," she answered smiling.
"What about it?"
"Well shouldn't we talk about our wedding colors, kids' names, how we'll rule the Iron Court," Electra answered with a hopeful smile.
"I haven't even figured out if you're my type yet."
"If I told you that Thorn is being held at Tir Na Nog, with her glamour bound, and will stay there until I am queen of the Iron Court, would you say I'm your type?"
I froze processing what she said in my mind over and over again. Could Thorn really be captured by a Winter and still be held as a prisoner by them? I wondered as I just stared at Electra. Thorn just isn't dumb enough to get captured and stay captured, I thought as the waitress came back with our drinks. When the waitress asked us what we would like to eat, I said nothing as Electra asked for a basket of fries. I was still so shocked I couldn't move or talk or anything. Finally after the waitress left again and Electra took a sip of her coffee, I choked out, "What?"
Electra smiled and answered, "Let me put it this way: You marry me, we become king and queen and Thorn doesn't become a frozen statue for Winter fey to admire and laugh at, get it now?"
"You do know, even if we get married, we won't become king or queen until my parents die, right?" I asked starting to worry about my loved ones.
Electra grinned looking more like a demon than a teenage Iron fey as she announced, "I already have a plan for that little problem."
"A-a plan?"
"Your parents will die and soon," she answered simply.
"You're insane," I said as I got up and left the diner.
"Kierran, where are you going?" Electra yelled after me.
"Away from you," I yelled back and quickly ran to a trod back home.
I knew Electra had to pay before she could run after me, even though she can sneak around it. I just hoped I had enough time. I went through the trod and came out to stand behind the Iron palace. I quickly ran inside and ran into the throne room where Mom and Glitch were still talking, since to them Electra and I just left but for me and Electra it's already felt like two hours. They were either drinking tea or something; I didn't really pay attention as I walked up to my mother.
"Mom, Electra she's working with Mab to ki-" before I could even finish Mom felt out of her chair to the ground. "Mom!" I kneeled down next to her as Glitch practically fell next to her on the other side of me. Dad came in a short time after, almost like he sensed Mom was in trouble. Dad picked her up bridal style then he and Glitch ran out the room with a couple guards following right behind them. I stayed sitting on the floor dazed as I thought; I didn't think she meant this soon.
Puck: Meghan
Ash: Meghan! I'm going to tear that Iron bitch limp from limp!
Dark Mina: Now, now Ash, she's coming after you next so I would be very careful if I were you.
Puck: What about my baby girl?! Oh, poor Thorn!
Ash: Puck, since you're not in any danger- for once- you should tear her limb from limb don't you think?
Puck: After she kills you, I'll think about it.
Ash: Why you ass! *pulls out sword and starts fighting with Puck*
Dark Mina: Well then, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and sorry it took me so long. Also in your reviews if Grimalkin, Glitch, and The Wolf could have anything from a fey contract, what do you think they'd ask for?
