The dining hall looked exactly like I expected, dark full of red and black with a feeling of dread.
"Ah my guest of honor has arrived" Cyclonis says looking up from the head of the table. I take a look around and see just who's here.

"Finally I'm starved" says the muscle brained idiot know as Snipe "Quiet you imbecile she's the master's quest" says a voice that can only belong to his sister Ravess

Great, not only do I have to dine with a dark witch but also with her henchman. It takes only a glance to notice the absence of the dark ace. Cyclonis walks around me as if trying to examine something "you wore your assigned outfit I see" see says with a smile

"Not really a choice in the matter" I say trying to get her gaze off me and get this over with. "If you recall I gave you a second option, one I would be happy to indulge in" she says leaning her face close to my ear.

I blush at hearing this slowly thinking she might be playing for the other team or possibly just plain crazy. "Not a chance, now let's just eat" I say making my way to the table and sitting down which in my outfit was not an easy task. After a moment Cyclonis walks to the table taking her seat at the head of the table and signaling for the servants to bring in the food.

A few minutes passed with nobody talking, the siblings taking glances at me every few moments as if trying to figure out why I here all the while the master kept her eyes on me at all time.

"Alright so what's you plan for me Cyclonis?" I say breaking the awkward silence with my sudden outburst unable to hide it any longer

"Ravess, Snipe leave us" says Cyclonis in a firm tone. The siblings get up and leave without saying a word, she waits before the door shuts behind them then says "truthfully piper I don't know" with a mild frown "you don't know?" I ask.

"You brought me here and you don't know?" I say dumbfounded at the lack of planning one her part

"…" she looks around the room widely as if searching for the answer in the ceiling tiles, face taking on a confused look.

I admit that she does look kind of cute when she's flustered I think before I realize it.
Wait did I just think that? Why did I think that I like boys… don't I?
"You see piper," says Cyclonis snapping me from my thought filled mind

"I needed you safe so I did what I thought was right"

"You kidnaped me"

"NO!"

"YES!"

She recoils back at this, obviously not used to being talked back to.

"I had to know you were safe!"
she yells face crunched up in frustration.

"…"

"…"

Silence, that's all there is for a moment

Both of our faces were bright red

Hers with embarrassment for realizing what she just said

And mine with shock that she would go to these lengths. I spoke first "you… brought me here to protect me?"

"Your lifestyle is a dangerous one, I had to make sure someone didn't hurt you"

"Why did you wait two months to tell me I was pregnant?" I asked a flurry of emotions flying around my head. She takes a moment to answer as if wondering to tell me then she gets up walks ever so slowly and takes the seat right next to mine looking me straight in the eye the blush from earlier still evident on her face.

"At first it was denial, I couldn't believe it was possible. Then it was anger that my only heir would come from a sky knight and a storm hawk at that."

"After a while it turned to mild curiosity at how such a thing was possible" as she's talking I begin to wonder about a lot of things, mostly how the guys were doing and even if the figured out I was gone.

She seems to take a moment to collect herself then comes some thing I never expected

"But lately all I could think about was you."

"me?"

"yeah"

I found that I was at the edge of my seat and that so was she . We were mere inches apart… and growing closer.

She raised her hand to move a stray hair from my face but stoped short and ran a finger along my cheek.

I raised my own hand to remove it but found that I liked the warmth it emitted

We locked eyes, leaned forward and

"would it be alright if I" she says face aflame

"yeah" I say matching her shade of red

so she leans forward and captures my lips with her own
