Oliver nearly spit out his drink. He got up and kissed Charlotte. "I-I thought it would never happen.", Oliver whispered to her.
"Congratulations, Charlotte and Oliver. Tobias, I guess you're having a sibling if you win the court thing tomorrow. Why did they postpone it?", Clay asked.
"They had to do some paperwork and sign for a few things, I guess.", Toby stated.
-------------------------------------------------
Saturday. "Oh come on! You have to tell me! I told you about my Oliver!", Charlotte groaned.
"Ok, ok, fine. So there's this guy. I'm not going to say any names but he's really charming. He kissed me on the hand when we first met! But there's this one thing that sucks about him. He has a girlfriend. And they look like they're pretty in love. But I look way better than her, anyways. So I might stand a chance.", Evie described.
Charlotte made a pouty face. "That sucks.".
Axel entered the game room. "Hey ladies, what's up?".
"Talkin' about boy crushes, 'sup with you? You want to join in and talk about your little crush?", Charlotte snickered.
"Uh-sure?", Axel scoffed then sat down. "Ok spill, hunny.", Charlotte insisted.
"I don't want to say her name, but she's this little singer. I heard her singing one time so I complimented her. She's this little fragile bird. Her voice is so sweet that it can make an image; a hallucination, around you of a million fireflies and you'll just be focusing on her. That's how captivating she is. Her skin is so soft it feels softer than a babies. I'm glad I stumbled into that little singer on that one day.", Axel described.
Charlotte opened her mouth up wide. "Adira?! Adira and...and Darby! You two are scandalous, falling in love only on your first day I assume! Axel, I have hope for you though. I seen you and Adira walkin' 'round the mansion the other day, laughin' and smilin'. Ah, it was so sweet. Evie Eve Eva, or whatever it is. Darby and Esma are not together. And I know this for a fact. I've been kind of spying on them since day one. Darby is very violent by the way. He stabbed my boyfriend in the hand for not even doing anything. He just got worked up that Esma did this and that or some shit. I'm not too sure. But Darby...ooh girl you better watch out, let me tell you that much. But Adira...ah, she's the sweetest thing. Axel if you two ever get together then break up I swear to god I'm going to hurt you, baby. Mark my words.", Charlotte lectured.
"I don't even think Adira wants me. I think she's too worked up on the other men in this place.", Axel sighed.
"Darby doesn't seem like he'd do any of that stuff! He was so sweet to me! It's like someone actually cared about me for once!", Evie pouted.
"Oh hunny, if you ever get with him, he will go full-on yandere on your ass. Like-gash bang slam, baby girl.", Charlotte laughed.
"I don't believe you. You're probably just jealous. You want him to yourself, don't you? You're trying to persuade me that he's a bad person so you can get with him, aren't you?", Evie huffed.
"I am pregnant. With Oliver's child. Are you feeling ok? Aha-bitch-let me tell you one thing. You can have your little murderer or whatever. I'm just trying to warn you. Be. Careful.", Charlotte grinded through her teeth.
"Whatever.", Evie whispered. "Let's just move on with that...", Charlotte muttered.
Adira came in the room. Axel sat up. "Uh-Evie. The king would like to see you for your first assignment. Axel. He wants us to go out of town to go find some type of medicine or whatever...I-I'll explain later. And Charlotte. Congratulations.", Adira said, smiling.
In town:
Adira swayed her short pink hair to the side and looked around. "You said you were going to explain...?", Axel mumbled.
"Oh, yeah-I'm sorry! Hopefully you aren't sensitive to this stuff or anything but, Clay thinks Charlotte got drugged...or roofied.", Adira whispered. Axel perked his head up. "What?! Holy shit!".
"I know. Clay just said Charlotte came stumbling into his room saying some random shit. I'm not too sure. So he wants us to find the drug that she could've taken to see if she remembers... I don't know if he wants us to drug her to make her remember the taste again-but he would never do that in his right mind, trust me! He told us to look for something abnormally colored... Don't ask.", Adira told him. "Axel, how about we split up? I'll go into this store you go in that one?". He nodded.
Axel walked off and so did Adira. After a little while, Adira couldn't find anything in the store that she was in so she went to wait for Axel outside. Some guy grabbed her wrist and pulled her into an alleyway, with his other hand over her mouth.
She squealed and kicked but the guy threw her on the ground.
"Ugh! You little brat! If you don't want to die, tell me where your king is at the moment.", Blade threatened. Axel peaked into the alleyway then dodged at Blade and started to fight him.
Axel flung Blade to the side, once he was mostly defeated, then took Adira's hand and ran out of the alleyway. They ran all the ways till they couldn't see any sign of Blade anymore.
"Fuck...I think we're lost...", Axel panted. "I don't care. Only if you're okay. Are you okay?". Adira couldn't hide her smile. "Y-yeah. I'm fine. You okay?", she asked. He nodded. They took a couple minutes to breathe until Adira started to look around. "Axel...I...I think we're in Chilly Meadows...".
Hickory Hill mansion:
Charlotte slammed open the door with Oliver and Tobias. "We won custody!", she shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Charlotte, you are so lucky! Congratulations! To all three of you!", Esma cheered on.
Upstairs:
Darby opened Esma's journal. "He looked in here; my journal. I can't believe how ignorant he is. I swear to god someday I'm taking action of my own life and telling him to back off...".
Darby looked at the latest entry. "Darby. That Evie chick keeps trying to steal him from me. And I won't let that happen. I'm going to do something about this. That slut keeps thinking she can get what she wants! Her life is a ball! Think of choking then reread that. But I'm being serious! She thinks she can just snatch him! Like-back off!".
Darby suddenly got dizzy then passed out, knocking his head on her mirror, shattering it.
