Mikayla POV
I smiled as I walked into the throne room after my guard shift. I really wanted to check on Brady but it was close to midnight so I figured he was asleep. Maybe it won't hurt to stop by and just make sure he's ok. Instead of walking to my room I walked to Brady's. When I reached the door I opened it and peered in only to see Brady peacefully sleeping, soft mumbling coming from said boy. I smiled softly at my almost boyfriend before closing the door and walking to my own room for some needed rest.
The Next Morning
"Mikayla, wake up. Come on baby girl, it's time for you to get up." I groaned slightly before opening my eyes to see my dad standing beside my bed, a small smile on his face. "Good morning daddy." I smiled as I climbed out of bed. "Do I have a patrol today?" I questioned as I walked over to my dresser.
"Instead of you patrolling today I want you to keep an eye on the kings while they train and help King Brady if he needs it." I nodded my head. "Sure thing daddy!" My dad smiled before he walked out of the room. I quickly changed clothes and brushed my hair before walking to the throne room.
"Good morning my kings!" I greeted as I walked into the room to find Boomer and Boz standing there in fight school uniforms. "Good morning Mikayla." The two brothers mumbled. "Are you excited for your first day of fight school?" I questioned eagerly. The kings shook their heads. "Not really. Did you know we have to get up at 8:00! That's like, four hours too early!" Boomer complained. I mentally rolled my eyes. "A good warrior can get up at any time and be prepared to fight."
"Then where is Brady, hmm?" Boz fired back. I stared at the two in disbelief. "Brady is an injured warrior. He has to sleep in order to regain his strength." Boz sighed. "Can you at least go get him? I want to spend my first time at fight school with both of my brothers." I nodded my head. "Alright. I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on you two and Brady anyways so it would be easier if he was in here." Boomer and Boz nodded before I left the room to go wake up Brady.
When I reached Brady's room I slowly opened the door and walked inside to find Brady lying on his back, fast asleep. His hands rested on his stomach and he was breathing deeply. I smiled at the sight before I slowly shook Brady's arm, taking care not to hit his chest. "Wake up Brady. It's time to get up." When this didn't do anything I leaned down and gave Brady a small kiss before pulling away. Brady's eyes slowly opened.
"Mikayla? What are you doing in here?" Brady spoke with a very sleepy tone and a yawn. "I'm here to wake you up silly." I smiled at the boy king in front of me, causing Brady to smile slightly before he turned to the clock. "It's 8:10 already. I slept in a lot later then I meant to." Brady sighed.
"It's alright Brady. You're still healing. It's ok if you sleep in a little. You could use some rest." Brady nodded his head. "I'll trust you on this one Makoola." He teased. I smiled and shook my head in response. "Come on Parker, it's time to get up." Brady smiled before he tried to sit up, causing him to wince and slump back down. I felt bad for Brady, considering how his chest probably hurt quite a bit.
"Here, let me help you." I reached over to help Brady sit up. Together we were able to help him sit up, Brady whimpering in pain the entire time. "I know it hurts. I'm sorry Brady." I rubbed his shoulder, trying to comfort him before I remembered the painkillers. I reached over and grabbed the bottle before dumping two out of it and handing them to Brady. "Thanks." Brady mumbled as he took the pills and swallowed them. I smiled before helping Brady to climb out of bed.
"I can still walk Mikayla" Brady teased as he stood up. I smiled. "I'm just trying to help. I don't think anyone would appreciate it if you ripped your stitches because you didn't want any help." Brady smiled and shook his head in response before walking over to his dresser where Lanny had placed his clothes the night before. Brady quickly dug through his clothes until he found a white t-shirt, black jeans, and his favorite pair of shoes; his black converse.
He then turned to me. "Stay here please." I nodded before a thought occurred. "Hey Brady, don't put your shirt on yet. I still have to change your bandages." Brady nodded before he disappeared into the bathroom, returning a few minutes later, shirtless.
"Sit." I pointed to the bed. Brady nodded before he walked over to the bed and sat down. I quickly cut off his current bandages before throwing them in the trash. While I was trying to find the new bandages Brady was examining his wound. He traced the stiches with his finger, wincing slightly when he pushed too hard. "Leave it alone Brady."
Brady glanced up at my words as I walked towards him. I quickly wrapped the bandages around him once again before Brady slid his T-shirt on, with my help of course. After we finished this Brady and I walked out of his room and to the kitchen where we stopped briefly for Brady to grab an apple to eat before walking into the throne room to find Boomer, Boz, and my dad standing there.
"Good morning Brady." Boomer and Boz greeted their brother who in turn waved back, his mouth full of apple. Brady swallowed before he responded. "Good morning guys. Ready for your training to begin?" Boomer and Boz shook their heads. "Not really. We had to get up at 8:00!" Boomer complained. Brady smiled slightly at his brothers.
"That's just the beginning. Pretty soon you will be getting up at 7:00 and then eventually you guys are going to be waking up at 6:00." Boomer and Boz looked horrified. "What!?" They both screamed at the same time. Brady just smirked at them before throwing his apple away.
"So, what am I supposed to be doing while these two train?" Brady questioned as he glanced between my dad and I. "Well, you could sit in the plaza and watch. The guards could use some hints for moves that you do differently or you could help your brothers." My dad replied, waiting for Brady's answer.
"I'll help Boomer and Boz." My dad nodded before he turned and led all of us into the plaza where the guards were training. Boomer and Boz began to try and spar over by the castle doors that led into the throne room while Brady sat down against the wall next to the door. My dad walked over to the guards to help them while I stayed beside the kings. "Ready to train my kings?" I smiled at the two brothers in front of me. "As ready as we'll ever be." Boomer sighed as he and Boz stopped sparring for a moment. I nodded my head before showing the brothers' a good fight stance.
Boomer and Boz copied my actions. "Alright, Boomer try to attack Boz. Boz, be ready to defend yourself." The two brothers nodded before Boomer launched himself at Boz. However, before he could hit Boz he tripped over a rock, sending his sword flying towards Brady.
Brady didn't notice the sword flying at him until it hit the door right beside him. Brady slowly turned his head to look at the sword that was stuck in the door two inches from his head before turning to us, his eyes wide. "Sorry bro!" Boomer called. Brady just stared at him for a moment before grabbing the sword and bringing it to Boomer. "Just be careful where you aim. I don't need any more injuries." Boomer nodded as Brady returned to his former spot, slightly tense. I smiled before turning back to the brothers in front of me.
"Alright you two, in order to avoid any more flying swords," I snatched their swords from them," You guys are going to be using these bamboo sticks." I handed the brothers each a bamboo stick before stepping back slightly. "Now, try to attack Boz again Boomer, and this time, please don't aim for Brady. You aren't holding a javelin." The two brothers nodded before getting back into their fight stances. Boomer was quick to launch his attack, taking Boz by slight surprise.
Boz quickly retaliated by blocking Boomer's blow and tripping him, causing Boomer to crash into the ground. "Boz! That hurt!" Boomer cried out in pain. "Sorry bro." Boz leaned over and reached out to help Boomer up. However, as soon as Boz leaned over he tripped and fell. I shifted my gaze over to Brady who was standing there, smirking. "Most important lesson in training. Never let your guard down."
Boz glared at his brother from the ground. Brady then glanced at me. I glared at him as well. "I couldn't resist." Brady shrugged before walking back over to the wall and sitting down. I shook my head, trying not to smile before helping the kings up. "Do you guys want to try that again?" Boomer and Boz both nodded their heads. "Alright then. Spar." As soon as the brothers began to fight I glanced back over to Brady only to find him shifting nervously and looking around the clearing at the villagers. I was confused for a moment until I realized the villagers were whispering to each other and pointing at him.
I walked over to Brady before squatting down beside him. "Hey, don't mind them. They're just gossiping. You can blame Candace for that. They don't mean any harm." Brady looked at me unsure for a moment. "Are you sure?" I nodded my head. "Yes I'm sure. Now just relax, ok?" Brady nodded before I walked back over to his brothers. I helped Boomer and Boz for a few minutes before glancing over at Brady again.
This time though, Brady was talking to Indigo. Indigo said something to Brady and the two walked off together. What are they up to? I sighed before turning back to the brothers in front of me. I'll have to find out later.
Brady POV
I followed Indigo as we walked to my room where we wouldn't be disturbed. As soon as we entered the room and I shut the door Indigo turned to me. "Brady, do you remember what I told you?" I winced slightly, knowing exactly what she was talking about. "I know Indigo, but I couldn't help it. I had to come see her." Indigo sighed. "Brady, you know that this could endanger the island even more!"
"What can I do to not endanger the island than! Should I just leave and go back to Chicago? My parents told me I was needed here to help save my brothers! They told me to reveal myself, so I did. I've been following what they have told me in my dreams! You say that if I get close to someone, than whatever this 'bad guy' is can use it against me. Well, I happen to have two brothers who I am extremely close to and I can't help that! I grew up with one of them and the other I learn more about every day. I do this because they are my family. Of course I'm going to be close to them! What's one more person I care about going to do to affect anything! You would do the same thing if this was Tate we were talking about!"
I finished my rant before realizing what I had just said. Indigo was looking at me, extremely upset. "Indigo, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." Indigo sighed. "I know you didn't King Brady, and you're right. I would do the exact same thing if I was in your place. I'm sorry for becoming upset with you over that. I just never thought of it from your point of view." I smiled at Indigo. "Friends again?" I stuck my hand out for her. Indigo smiled as well. "Friends. Now let's get you back to you brothers. I have a feeling they are going to need a lot more help than just from Mikayla." I smiled and shook my head before Indigo and I walked out of my room and back towards the plaza.
Done! I hope you guys liked it! Thanks for reading!
Lots of Hugs,
