"I'm not sleeping while you're still awake."

"And if I go to sleep and Seculus sees you're gone, he'll wake me back up."

2016-05-26 16:14:14

"Then I'll just be there waiting when you fall asleep again."

2016-05-26 16:16:03

🌀

"While Seculus continuously beats his head on the ground."

"Someone would stop him."

2016-05-26 16:17:10

🌀

"Like they really could. No one else there can get through his ice."

●

"They'll find a way."

"Fine. I'll go to sleep. Look forward to that headache." He leaned back on the bed with his hands behind his head. His hair was in his eyes. He needed to cut this off.

Reluctantly, Ivory sat at the end of the bed, watching him, back to the wall. Eventually, she fell asleep as well.

He paced back in forth past the throne, cape billowing behind him in a wintery breeze. The door to the room was sealed shut again, and he'd smoothed the floor back over after the battle from before.

With haste, Ivory immediately slipped out of Sarandiel's castle. Seculus would try to convince her to stay. She knew he would. She couldn't risk that. With some time, Ivory found her way back to the diamond castle, and walked right through the front doors of them.

The door melted just enough to let her in before immediately solidifying again. He turned to look at her, about to say something, but stopped. "....what happened to /you/?"

2016-05-26 16:26:09

●

"The need to be human happened." She answered. Her hair was a bit messy as well from all of this.

2016-05-26 16:27:20

🌀

"...whatever. You're stuck in here now." He moved toward her and pushed her hair back.

Seculus scrambled around the room, stumbling over his own feet and trying not to hyperventilate. Where was she? Did...did she really leave?

●

"It's not like there was much of a choice."

2016-05-26 16:44:20

🌀

"Of course not. Well, not unless you felt like letting your friends die."

He huddled in the middle of the pillows, crying. Madison came up behind him and touched his shoulder, concerned. Seculus jumped. "What happened?" "I-Ivory--she--she went /back/ to him--"

2016-05-26 16:47:06

●

"You and I both know I wouldn't let that happen."

2016-05-26 16:47:43

🌀

"I don't know, you do have a history."

"She what?!" "...he threatened her...he knows...the plan..." "...we have everything we need. There's just a little left. Think she can hold out?" "....I don't know..."

2016-05-26 16:50:44

●

"Even then that's too many lives lost just for something I can easily prevent."

2016-05-26 16:51:46

🌀

"Since when did you have a problem with excessive death?"

"How much does he know?" "...that you have to...get Lucinda out...he'll be protecting her..."

2016-05-26 16:54:02

●

"Does it matter? I'm here now, aren't I?"

2016-05-26 16:55:32

🌀

"It does, but you're right." He ran his hand along her hair and a frozen crown and choker appeared. "You're /my/ queen now."

"They'll just have to be more careful, then. They'll be fine." "...who?..." "...nevermind. This'll all be over soon, okay?" Madison hugged the shaking man, frowning.

2016-05-26 16:59:13

●

"We'll see about that." She stared him in the eye blankly.

2016-05-26 17:00:27

🌀

He stared right back, then formed a chain attached to the collar and pulled. "You /will/ obey me."

2016-05-26 17:03:12

●

She was pulled forward, and almost fell. "I do as I please."
