Hello! Great day for EAH, ha? I don't know what to hope and I am a little sad that I won't be seeing some of my favorite characters, but oh well! I will still try to watch it anyways! How about you?! Well, for now, here we go!
Daring splashed his face with water looking at his reflection "Come on, Charming. Is one question and then happily ever after"
He fixed his hair and messed it up again unable to decide how to show up to this family picnic.
"Come on, the worst that can happen is if she says no" and the idea sink in, that was the definitely, truly, worst thing that could happen, not to have her by his side for the rest of his life. Suddenly he felt sick, getting paler than a ghost. Why risk this relationship? He questioned himself, debating about it. It was fine, they were happy, why to gamble it?
'Because you love her too much to dare to think she might one day walk away' a voice in his head told him.
He groaned and splashed his face again. He thought asking for a blessing would be the hard part, when actually, asking for her hand was the most terrifying one. Daring knew Cerise loved him, but maybe she wouldn't want to give up her freedom and her life in the forest, because if they were to get married, Daring's responsibilities as a monarch would call upon him, which meant, he would also lay some in Cerise as a queen.
"Come on!" Daring sank his head in the sink. Right now he rather have to go through his talk with Wolf again. Bad Wolf took the news surprisingly well. Daring had been expecting a lot more physical pain in the process, a bruised arm, a black eye or something. Of course it took some convincing to assure him that he was the best option for his daughter, but he had solemnly sworn he would protect her, tend to her and love her no matter what. And it all had been so true that Bad Wolf had nothing left to do but to grant his wish.
And now…now he was holding his breath under water in the bathroom's sink.
"Hey uncle" a beta teen wolf walked towards.
"Hello!" Wolf said greeting him as well as some of the others that were accompanying Ramona back to the house "how was camp?"
"It was great" Ramona answered looking around expectantly.
Wolf chuckled "She is in the backyard" he winked.
Ramona smiled broadly "Thanks dad" she turned around "See you later guys" she waved to the pack and ran off.
Cerise felt a sudden jolt from behind while being almost tackled by a very enthusiastic wolf girl "Got ya' little hood!"
"There you are!" Cerise turned to hug her.
"Hey, lil' sis" she messed her hair up "Missed me?"
"As much as a cub can miss the flies on its fur"
"Oh, you are a good Bad Wolf" she embraced her strongly "It's great to see you again"
"It's nice to be back"
"You said you would visit more often" she softly punched her shoulder.
"Sorry, I have been busy lately" she rubbed her forearm "but I am here now" she offered a smile.
Ramona pretended to be upset for another second before smirking widely "Fine, I forgive you"
Cerise raise an eyebrow "I wasn't-"
"So? Where is that fearless little Charming that loves to brag so much?"
Cerise rolled her eyes "Daring is inside" she pointed to the door.
"I meant Darling" she teased watching her sister's reaction "I'm kidding, I will go say hi now, ok?"
"Ok"
Ramona entered the house throwing her bags to the side carelessly, entering her room casually when she saw Daring standing in front of the mirror, just when she was about to say hi, he spoke up, but not for her ears to hear.
"And so, I only have one question for you, Cerise Hood" he stammered "Cerise Bad Wolf Hood, and it will mean the world to me if you say yes, so here I go, would you mar-?"
"Don't you dare!" Ramona shouted startling the nervous prince that jumped at the reflection in the mirror of the Bad Wolf heir.
"Ramona!" he said surprised "H-hi!"
She rushed towards her prey "Are you going to ask my sister to mar-!"
"Shush!" Darling hurried in, closing the doors behind her "you are going to ruin the surprise"
"Darling!" he said relieved to see he "You made it!"
"Hello, brother" she smiled sweetly hugging him "I just barely made it to the rabbit hole"
"Lil' princess?" Ramona was surprised to see her "You knew about this?" she asked.
"Have known for two months now" she smiled a bit challenging "do you know how hard it has been to keep this a secret from your sister? We talk every other day; it's killing me"
"And you are okay with this?" she pointed at Daring.
"Hey, he is my brother" she drove her hands to her hips.
"Yeah, but that is my little sister we are talking about"
"Can I say something?" Daring intervened a bit timid.
"No" both girls said at unison.
"Hey, I had my doubts back in school too, but he is worth it now" Darling said.
"Wait, you doubted me?" Daring asked being ignored in return.
"They are too different" the wolf girl crossed her arms.
"Oh, come on Ramona they are perfect together!"
"Please! They grew up on different sides of the woods. A castle and the dark forest are nothing alike"
"They complete each other! You know that. And she is my best friend as well… honestly, have you ever seen Cerise as happy as when they are together? Because I can say, I only see my brother smile like that when she is around…that's how I know they will be a very happy couple"
Daring felt touched by her words. He didn't know his sister thought so fondly of him. Ramona groaned debating herself, knowing Darling had a point.
"Yeah, but…"
"Ramona" he finally spoke up "I know you care for her, it's your job as a big sister. I worried just the same when Darling moved to Wonderland with Chase, I know it's hard to let go after watching over them our whole childhoods… but I can promise you with all my heart…I can swear on the Book of Legends that I will always love her, that I will always protect her and that I will never hurt her…she is everything to me… do you believe me?"
Ramona clenched her jaw "I…believe you…" she finally said "but make no mistake, if you wrong her…"
"Don't worry, I already told him I would pick my sword against his if he ever hurt her" Darling said, a smile on her lips leaning into her shoulder.
Yeah! So there we go, I know what you all are expecting and I promise I will be getting there pretty soon, but I will be getting back home tomorrow, so I won't be updatting these days :p sorry for the cliffhanger! Not intended, but hopefully I'll see you soon! So, thanks for the support, all the favs, follows and reviews! They have been amazing!
