Cheerful Mook

Ava looked over and stood. Benny growled but she ignored him. “I’m interested in protecting your pack,” she said and took a few steps toward him. “There’s a difference. I can take you and your pack to a sanctuary in a realm different from this one. You will be completely safe from Emperor Zold…and so will Jimson.”

The man crossed his arms first, but then uncrossed them and rubbed his face - and he just sort of fidgeted like that, like he wasn’t sure what to do with his hands. “I hope you understand why I can’t trust you. Give me a reason to trust you - any reason - show me that you’re not going to simply take me away. My little girl has already lost her mother - I can’t step forward and see where you mean never to return here again.”

She sighed, “ i’m sorry.” She wasn’t sure why she was asking someone who  couldn’t answer, probably because she was scared at what the answer might be. She shivered lightly and sniffled looking up at Freddy, “i…I’m sorry.”

Freddy blinked at her and scooped her up into his spidery legs and placed her into the hammock that he had made for her, before snuggling himself into a corner by the entrance, as a way of keeping guard.

Once Fredrick was done with the cave entrance to ensure that no snoopers would find their secret, hidden place, Fredrick began to sew something else up within the cave. Once he was done, a hammock was strewn from wall to wall, just to fit Bell’s size. 

Bell whimpered softly and hugged her knees to her chest. She looked over at Freddy and asked lightly, ‘i..i’m not a bully am i?” She didn’t feel like a bully because she was protecting her friend but at the same time she did. She was confused, but she decided Freddy would be the deciding factor

Freddy didn’t answer her. He really didn’t know one way or the other - he didn’t understand the concept, but even if he did, considering how much of a bully HE was, he probably wouldn’t have cared either way. He just blinked at her and tipped his head in confusion. 

She shivered lightly feeling like she couldn’t move a muscle.She wished she hadn’t got so scared of Jack, now he’d never find them again. She was thinking negatively again , he would find them, he would. SHe shivered again thinking about when Jack stabbed the guy. Her heart was pounding rapidly again.

Fredrick managed to find a little cave not too too far from the town, and shuffled inside, hopefully to shield them from the cool breeze. He gently set her down and began to web up the front of the cave to stop potential intruders from coming in. 

Bell watched him as he worked diligently and smiled lightly. Freddy was so kind. She knew it when they first met, she knew they’d be the best of friends. SHe rested her head on the hard ground reminding her of when she would sleep under the stars in the other worlds she’d visit. It was sometimes hard to find a bed lying around so she’d sleep outside, it was nice. she sighed when her mind wandered back home. She sniffled bushing the memories back

“Benny’s harmless. Just…as long as they don’t harm him…or me,” Ava said. “Although I’m kinda his mother. So…if they harm him then they would have royally pissed me off. Anyway…here.” She handed her the map and looked down at the river. “Benny may also be able to smell them too. Do they have a similar scent to yours?”

“They do,” she said, and frowned. “Let me go to them first.” She hesitated. “I don’t know, I don’t really think I’m going to get their permission to lead you to them. How about... Let me... let me see if I can take one of them to you. Let’s get a little closer though. Would you guys be okay with camping out for a few hours while I fetched somebody?”

Ava smirked. “Yeah…so I’ve heard…and seen. I’m sorry you live in the same realm as him. From what I gather…he’s been a very bad boy,” she said with another smirk. She turned herself around so that she faced Lupin and she leaned her back against Benny’s head.

It was going to be another long while, but after all that travel time passed, Lupin perked up suddenly and looked down. “Down there,” she confirmed. “That’s where we were right before I left. It was about a year ago but I’m sure I could still track them. Hmm... we may not need to even track them by scent. Let me see the map again? With this big ol’ flying beast (and I mean that as a compliment) we may be able to check some likely areas around the area, but they ARE going to react just as afraid of dragons, I’m sure, as the last kids did.”

“Mmm... My room, I suspect. No red ink though,” she said. She paused and thought for a moment. “But I DO have red paint in my room,” she assured. “If we use my room, the breeze is less likely to blow the papers around. Come along then,” She said, and beckoned Belle back with all the supplies. 

bringing back the escapee

After a few more moments, an errand-boy entered the cafeteria and approached their table. “Miss Aurora,” He greeted, “The emperor has requested your presence. Would you be willing to speak to him at this time?” 

“Me? Well, alright. I’ll go see him.” Aurora replied, turning to Jimson. “Could we continue when I get back?” She asked her. 

Bell quivered lightly curling up in a ball, “j..just give me a few minuets…i..i’ll go find jack..y..you can’t go into town they’ll hurt you.” She couldn’t stand to see freddy hurt after all this time she spent bonding with him

Fredrick blinked at her and tipped his head, not getting her request. He was set to wander further away from town with her.
