He glances back, making eye contact with Reiss, she smiles, while his scowl deepened.
“Are you checking out my brother’s ass?” he asked, noticing the concentration on her face as she watched him walk ahead.
“Wha- No! What?!” she exclaimed, startled by his question. She sighs “I know he offered to help but he seems like he has a problem with me”
“Lex iss like that with every-”
“DUCK” Ty shouted diving at Reiss, pushing her to the floor. A swarm of the mini arrows shot in their direction, some hitting them before they could hit the ground
"That didn't hurt" Avalon says, standing, brushing off the arrows.
"They're poisonous "Naheem said staggering, then they start to drop. Reiss being the last to lose consciousness.
And the last to gain it so it seems. Welcome back princess" Naheem said, the poison not interrupting his overflowing source of charm.
Where are we? She asks, making to rub the drowsiness out of her eyes then realizing they were tied behind her back. She tries tugging against it hard, but they don't budge..
"Relax Reiss" this was Myra "they are made from the same stuff your necklace is made of, just stronger. Right now, we're all human and at their mercy"
" Who's me- "
I see you're all awake now" on tiny man, no more than 4 feet, says, entering the dark room, he kicks a switch that's one inch off the floor, illuminating the room without prior warning.
“What are you doing on our land?” his voice sounded more grovelly than it did originally.
They all turned to look at Alex, remembering what he said earlier.. "We are just passing through sir, we are on our way to the fae Kingdom"
“You've got to think of a better lie than that. Everyone knows that the kingdom is in chaos after the Prince was not accepted as the next ruler” he scoffs as he says the word ‘ruler’ no one will in their right mind or otherwise will approach the fae at a time like this. Speak the truth at once or I will inject enough poison to kill a unicorn to your bloodstream one at a time”
“I thought you said they were peaceful creatures” Avalon says, from the corner of his mouth
"Where are your accomplices?” the tiny man asks
“What?!”
“Oh don’t act stupid, I knew it once I entered here, you are all responsible for the death of the Queen"
“What?!" they all exclaim.
“You can't deny it”
“We can and we are” Reiss exclaimed “What the fudging hell ?? “ The brothers couldn't hold in their laughter temporarily forgetting their current plight
"You swear like a 3 year old” Actually, our 3 year old niece has a fouler month than you do”
“What is a fudging hell? the interrogator asked, confused.
“We didn’t kill your Queen” Vee says, snapping them out of their alternate discussion.
“Yes that” Alex says, clearing his throat. “We refuse to be judged without evidence”
“So you admit there is evidence to be found! Aha!”
“No there is not”
“That’s not what you were saying a while ago”
“That’s not-”
“What if-” Reiss sees that he is losing his temper “What if we find who actually killed the Queen..prove our innocence and bring justice to the throne and such”
The man seems to be considering it “I shall inform the king of your offer and request” he briskly exits the room.
“WHAT THE f**k!!?” The self chosen leader exclaimed. Why would you- what- do you have any idea what you just did?”
“Offered to clear our names”
“I- ugh!... I don’t know that to say to you, just know that you added an unnecessary detour to our trip and if anything happens to her in the time we spend here running a fool’s errand, it is your fault”
“That’s not fair!” Myra tries to defend.
“But it’s true”
“Ty?!” Vee exclaims, surprised. A look of betrayal flashed across Reiss’ face, but she shakes it off, closes her eyes and retreats into her mind.
