Forbidden Love (Dreamer)

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven-


I skidded to a stop when I very nearly rammed right into someone, even at jogging speed, and looked at her with wide eyes when she spoke. "H - How . . ." I shook my head. It didnt matter. "His name is Rallek and he has been with us since we were born. Please - where may we find him?" He had to be here somewhere. Unharmed. Please.

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


The woman smiled, the simple movement almost enchanting.


"He is safe, dear ones", she took each of us by the wrist, and led us out to a field and what looked like a barn. I soon heard a happy rumbling sound and broke free, running towards the sound.

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven


I looked at the woman and the grip on my wrist she still had. I put a hand over hers, briefly, in gratitude and said a quick but heartfelt "Thank you," before running after Izabelle. I hurried after her into the barn in time to hear Rallek's happy Children! He pushed his head into us when we were close enough, eyes closed and mouth open in a dragon-y smile. Missed you. Love you. Safe.


I sighed softly and just wrapped my arms around his neck as best I could. "I'm glad you're safe too. . ."

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


I covered him in kisses, "Our sweet dragon! You were a good boy, weren't you?" He grumbled happily again, and licked my chin, the feeling almost like a cats.


"We love you too!"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven


I laughed a little as Rallek tried to nuzzle us both, radiating feelings of relief and protective love at us. I rubbed a hand over his snout like he liked and just leaned against him, glad to feel his weight against me again. "You were good to wait," I said, stroking over his scales. "Breaking out wouldn't've done any good." I paused, though, frowning. "Have they charmed the place somehow?" I looked at Izabelle. "Maybe he can't get out."

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


I frowned, thinking. I took a few steps away from them both, until I was outside of the door and in the open area. "Come 'ere, Rallek. Come, buddy". Instead of coming to me, as he always did, he looked at me with sad eyes. I met my own to his as he made sad rumbling noises, letting me know he wanted to follow my order.


"Why would they do this, Reven? He doesn't like being cooped up!"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven


I frowned worriedly and hurried back in to Rallek, cooing softly to him and trying to reassure him. "It'll be okay," I said gently. "I'll - I'll go talk to someone and - and we'll do everything we can to get you out of here."


I stroked over his head a couple more times, then turned and ran from the building. The elven woman was still waiting for us, and I jogged up to her and came to a stop, sliding smoothly to a knee because that was what someone did when they had to request something from someone in a higher position than they. "Please," I started, begging shamelessly because I could have no shame when it was for someone I cared about, "I understand why you want to keep him confined, but - but he hates it so much." I looked up at her, pleadingly and with as little distress as I could manage. "May he please be set free? We won't run away, I promise! Just - please. . ." He would be so sad left in there. I couldn't stand it.

 

[Dreamer~]

((Awwww, Reven!))


Izabelle-


I had stayed with Rallek, letting Reven do what he was much better at.


"It'll be okay, darlin'" I cooed softly. "We'll fix this"


Jesslin-


I gazed at the boy, a pain in his eyes I couldn't understsand, "Sweet boy, we were only trying to keep your friend safe. It is the gnome's hunting season"


((School time!!))

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven-


I paused, mid-breath, about to speak again in Rallek's defense but . . . but - "what?" My own voice came out sounding confused and distressed still, dumbfounded. "Wh - Hunting . . . season? Gnomes?" No. No, I had to ignore that part. "They hunter dragons?" I looked quickly around, in disbelief. "But - But is it not safe here?"


((Was in the process of getting sick yesterday and so spent it curled up watching tv. Sorry of course, now I'm full blown sick, and I might not reply again after this))

 

[Dreamer~]

Jesslin-


I put a hand on his cheek, "Dear one, he is safe in the barn. The gnomes will smell him out if he is romping around. Give us a few days, and I promise, we will work out a deal with them"


I stepped away, "Return to your dear ones, I'll do the best I can"


((That's okay. I'm having one of those awful periods. So I've been sleeping and a Disney marathon today. Feel better!))

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Ugh, sounds bad. Now I just sound like I'm dying when I cough, and I couldn't stop this morning, so no work for me again. Hopefully ill be better by tomorrow so I don't have to call in sick again ))


Reven-


I looked at her, helplessly, then just gave an obedient nod and slipped away, back up to my feet. I hurried back to the barn at a jog, and walked over to put an apologetic hand on Rallek's head when I got to them. ". . . Is dangerous, Rallek." I said softly, leaning my head against his when he gave a disappointed mrr. "It should only be for a little while," I added quickly, heart aching for him, "and we'll be here with you as much as we can but - but you can't come out get. . . There are hunters about. Dragon hunters. We'll keep you safe." As soon as I could get my hands on my sword again. I needed it to help protect him in such a confined space.

 

[Dreamer~]

((You poor thing): If it helps, I have five roommates, and there's only one we all want out. And it's the one that shares the room with me.))


Izabelle-


I glanced between them, this was all my fault, wasn't it?


Azyala-


When I saw Maryanne's face, I dismounted. Merrik hated it when I dismounted while he was still going forward, but at this moment, I didn't care. I ran up to her, and gripped her by the shoulders, "What happened?"


"I- I don't know," she gasped, "You told me to never come back to the castle and you didn't come until now an-"


It was hard not to become angry with her. She was supposed to keep them safe. As their older sister, that was her rightful duty in life.


"They're just gone Mother, I've searched the forest!"

 

[Dreamer~]

(Ooooooh, I see how it is! You respond to Blue Suit, but not me! HUUMPH. I will now be butthurt until you return(: ))

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Sorry it's been really hard to focus lately, and I thought I'd replied to these so I just picked a few rps and only replies to those at a time, and I'd switch every once in a while. I've been dealing with some heavy stuff lately and it makes it hard to think about these things sometimes. When I have ten active rps going all at once, it gets to be more stressful than fun, especially when im trying to multitask at the same time))


Reven-


I sighed softly after a while, and just sat down in the straw, beckoning Izabelle down with me. "We'll figure this out still. She . . . That woman said she would try to work something out so you can leave soon, so it'll be safe for you. In the meantime, we still have to work on learning magic."


Merrick-


I put a hand on Azyala's shoulder to still her and just shook my head. Harsh and reprimanding wasnt the way to go. I took Maryanne by the shoulders and held her at arms length so she would look at me. "Think carefull, Maryanne. When did you last see them? What did they speak about? You know how often they get into mischief." I closed my eyes a moment, searching, and looked at her again, worried. "Where is Rallek?"

 

[Dreamer~]

((Awwww, Nala! I was totally kidding! I understand! And like I said, you can always vent to me, Im just in school 90% of the time. But I am ALWAYS here for you!♥))


Maryanne-


I too a deep breath, closing my eyes.


"They said they were going fruit picking, Rallek followed them"


I studied their eyes, as if an answer was there. 
((Writing on phone, before school. Replies suck))

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Thanks, Dream it's okay, though. A friend of mine is dealing with some things a tiny bit similar to what you have in the past, and I don't want to trigger any bad memories or anything. It's cool. I've got people to talk to at home))


Merrick-


I took a step back and shook my head, scanning the forest around us. "Rallek's not here. I can't hear him anywhere." That meant he was out of range, somewhere. "They couldn't have been flying for this long. We have to start looking for them - which direction did they start in?"

 

[Dreamer~]

((Alright, as long as you're okay. I send lots of hugs and loves! And if it helps, I'm ready to murder my actual ROOMmate. None of us can stand her. She's rude, and selfish, and eats everybody else's food, and doesn't pitch in for groceries and she stinks and aaaagah. I'm gonna kill her. I swear))


Azyala-


When she gestured in the direction, I kissed her cheek, "You stay here, and you stay safe. No arguing." I grabbed my bow from inside and followed Merrick, "And yet again, we are hoping to find a dragon in the middle of the woods!". It was almost pleasant, except for not knowing where my two youngest were. Or if they were safe. Or if my mother had. . .

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Just remember: Prison orange is not your color ))


Merrick-


I rested a hand on the sword at my side and just shook my head, turning to mount up on my horse again. "We'll find them. Don't you worry about that." Even if we had to cut down the whole forest, we would find them. I glanced at Azyala, sympathetically, and pulled her horse over to her. "And don't worry about the witch. She's too busy back at the castle to both with anything here."

 

[Dreamer~]

((Darn. . .))


Azyala-


We soon reached what the children referred go as the Ridge. My eyes caught one of Izzy's bows, and I beckoned Merrick to follow. But not long after my fingertios touchdd the slim wood, everything was gone.


Izabelle-


I heard the beautiful lady laugh under her breath as I woke up the next morn


"You really are just like your parents!"


I turned my head to see Mother's blond locks falling sweetly over Father's chest.


They were hee. . .


omma!"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven-


I blinked groggily when Izabelle moved, her hand slipping from mine where we'd clasped them together before falling asleep. When I heard what she said, I sat up so fast I got dizzy, and my eyes went wide. "Papa!" I felt like a child, relieved at the sight of our parents even though we had never really been in true danger of harm here, and refused to take it back even though I hadnt called him that in years. I hopped over Izabelle's legs and hurried over to them to try shaking them awake. "What are they doing here?"

 

[Dreamer~]

((My phone so sucks for writing T.T Laptop now( )


Izabelle-


Mother's eyes opened and she turned to us, "Children!" She flew out of the bed to embrace us, "Are you safe? Are you injured? Where's Rallek?" She stopped long enough to breath, and then just gazed at us, millions of emotions flitting across her eyes. She sighed, "I was so worried" 
((Literally, right when I started writing this, Bella and Izzy's song came on. . . I admit, I teared up a bit!))

 

[EdithSpeaks]

((Awww, poor Dreamer don't cry!))


Father sat up rather quickly to look at us, and I hugged Mother tight before she pulled back to just stare as well.


"I'm so glad we found you!" Father started, but looked around the room. "But . . . Where are we?"

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


I laughed a bit under my breath, rubbing the back of my neck, "U- UM, well. . ."


"Izabelle. . " Mother said slowly


"Um, Reven wants to tell you!"

 

[EdithSpeaks]

Reven


I frowned a little at Izabelle for putting the blame on me, and shook my head slightly, then just looked at Mother and Father. "We. . . This . . ." I sighed softly, shifting a bit uncomfortable. "This is elven territory. . ."


I didn't really like the way Father's jaw dropped. But then, he had never listened very intently to Uncle Favian's stories like we did.

 

[Dreamer~]

Izabelle-


It was wonderful, to see Mother's face light up, "Really?" She breathed, eyes sparkling. She was the one who loved all the fairytales. She turned to Father, "Oh, Merrick!" She was like a child. Like, well, me. She was excited, and you could see how badly she wanted to explore this new place with new things and new ideas.
