"Why would you betray her?"
Erebus asked Allura with a light tone as if he didn't even hear her offer just now.
"I have my reasons." Allura frowned and avoided his eyes.
"Okay." Erebus just shrugged, "All the best wishes for you then."
"What do you mean?!" Allura turned to glared at him, "I'm on YOUR side!"
"Are you?" Erebus squinted his eyes at her, "So we should just include you in our plan against YOUR mom just because you are throwing a child tantrum with your dear mother?"
"Erebus!" Allura stomped her foot yelling.
Kitty pursed her lips, and took a sip of her drink, watching the sky as if the conversation didn't involve her.
"My request is simple. Answer me, why, would, you, betray her?" Erebus put away the light look and stare at Allura seriously.
"What does it matter? Would you even believe me if I tell you?!" Allura put her hand over her forehead trying to calm herself down.
"I'll decide it for myself, upo
"You want the power of the wand and the Phosis to destroy it." Kitty looked up, "Because it's hard to break a magic item, let alone an item of legend. It requires huge amount of power to do so, and that's not without risk.""Are you afraid?" Allura frowned at her with a glare."And if I am?" Kitty rose her eyebrow in an aggressive way."I'll find another way!" Allura said coldly with fury in her voice.Kitty smiled."What?!" Allura was still upset at Kitty's rejection."I can't ask you to steal the ring because it's too dangerous." Kitty laughed as she supported her head with her palm, elbowing on the table in a lazy way."Since when do you care about me?!" Allura hmphed and turned away to not look at Kitty."We need preparation for that kind of spell, if we want to break a Hallow." Kitty didn't mind her attitude, and still was smiling, "And I still need you to lift the curse, so I cannot ask you to go on a suicide mission."
Not able to challenge the Coven, not able to defeat the Queen, and they couldn't do much with the werewolves either --They were at the tight spot this time, and the Queen on the other hand, was not.It was only a matter of time before she makes another move, and have their lives -- or worse -- their freedom in the process.Allura returned to the castle that night when their plan failed to form in any shape, and Kitty and Erebus had been avoiding talking about it after."Hey, I'm back! How's your day?" Erebus took Kitty's hand into his as he entered the room and kissed the back of her hand with his other hand on his back --The standard gentlemen from like the dark age?Kitty giggle at his antique courtesy: "And I can see that you have travled far -- back into the ancient times.""They should have kept this one," Erebus didn't mind her mocking, "Or give me better ways to express how much I have missed you."It had been a week n
"A movie?" Kitty rose her eyebrows in surprise."You are finally looking at me." Erebus laughed as he put another bite of egg in his mouth --Kitty had been trying to avoid even talking to him since she woke up that morning, and they spent half of their breakfast in silence until only now when Erebus suggested that they should go watch a movie."Aren't you leaving soon?" Kitty frowned, lowering her eyes."I'm not going anywhere." Erebus finished his breakfast and took the last strawberry over and sat down besides Kitty, "Want it?"Of course she wanted it --Even though she had a whole bowl of strawberry right in front of her."Why... why are we suddenly watching a movie..." Kitty leaned over for a bite of the red fruit in his hand, and Erebus gave a kiss over instead."Just thought that's what people usually do on a date, no?""Sure...?" Kitty hesitated, "Why are we suddenly on a date.""Hahaha..." Erebus burst in
Waking up, Kitty flinched at the finding of herself being naked.She turned around in panic, and realizing that she was already back to their bedroom in the hotel with his arms around her.He was still in a sound sleep --Well, his eyes were still closed.Kitty had no idea whether he was awake or not --In fact, she had no idea about whatever his thought might be these days.She couldn't keep her secret from him any longer, and she knew he was just waiting for her to confess first. Otherwise, why would he took her on such a "date" all of a sudden?At that thought, Kitty slipped out from under the sheet, and Erebus didn't move in anyway even though she lifted his arm from her body.She needed a shower to cool her head, and she wouldn't want to see the love in his eyes extinguished while she was naked.It was a serious talk.Determined her mind, Kitty slipped in the bathroom quietly, and Erebus opened his eyes at th
"Kitty?" Erebus held her by the wrist and shook her, looking for a response --Kitty froze right where she was with a horrified look on her face, seemingly too shocked by his words so she basically shut herself down..."Baby." Erebus pulled her in and kissed her on the forehead, "You are okay, please don't scare me like this.""I'm not scaring you." Kitty mumbled like a robot, replying with only instinct."Babyy..." Erebus sighed lightly and picked her up into his arms, carrying her to the bed, "Let's sit for a bit, okay?""I don't want to sit." Kitty stook by the side of the bed in a stiff motion, "You...you...""Yes, I already know." Erebus stroke her on the arm, trying to sooth her, "And it's okay, I understand --""It's not okay!" Kitty shook her head violently, and Erebus let out a light laugh:"Yet you did it anyway?""..." Kitty bit her lips, staring at Erebus with tearful eyes."The Queen has got basically
"Why are you still going to the Alphas?" Kitty asked, sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Erebus dressing up in front of the mirror."We both don't want to control them with Phosis," Erebus said as he stretched his shirt, "But we still need them. It would be great if they would be willing to help us at their own judgement.""Can we trust that though? We'd be in even more of a danger if they betray us in the battle." Kitty said in a low voice, hesitating."I'm aware." Erebus nodded, "But like I said, there is nothing absolute in the world, not even loyalty from the most loyal. We have to take this leap of faith. Besides, they don't have too much motive to help the Queen either."Kitty pursed her lips without a reply."Besides," Erebus turned to her and knelt before her feet, "I didn't stop you from casting the spell on them WAS because I wanted to make sure that they won't be on her side if they were to make that choice.""You mean, if t
"Where are you taking me?!" Kitty finally stopped, panting as she dragging Erebus to a stop."You need to exercise a bit, baby." Erebus laughed as he stopped, noticing that she was really not catching her breath."You are a werewolf!" Kitty yelled even though in doing so it was even harder for her to smooth her breath."Haha!..." Erebus burst into laughter as he turned to look around --It wasn't as easy for him to tell the direction in a forest as in his wolf form. He had to pay attention if he didn't want to get lost."Why in such a rush anyway?" Kitty bent over to catch her breath, "You are acting really weird --""Come on!" Erebus took her hand and got on the way again laughing."I can't!" Kitty sat down on the floor with her hand in his, "You might as well just kill me now! Instead of such a horrible death! I would rather die than going any further --"Before she could finish her complaint, Erebus shifted right there in fr
"You are here."It took a long time for Erebus and Kitty to finally find Allura on the party.It seemed as if ALL the werewolves in the country came to this huge event, and even a lot of strange faces that no one seemed to knew."What's the plan?" Staying by the side of the window, Kitty asked Allura as Erebus took a sip of his drink, as if they were just three normal guests, talking in a relaxed way."Like how we discussed." Allura said in a way of trying to not to move her lips, "She is going to give me the ring on the ceremony. But...""But?" Erebus asked."Nothing..." Allura mumbled with a frown, as if there was something bothering her."Does it have anything to do with the fact that the Queen doesn't have the ring on her hand right now?" Erebus said before he took another sip. His eyes were not even on the Queen."What?!" Kitty wheeled at the direction of the Queen to check, "How could she allow that to happen?! And how di
