<< follow you anywhere. You know that. -I knew @befallenqueen knew that but I still felt the need to assure her-

<< finally kissing @befallenqueen. I could hardly believe it but it felt amazing to finally have that whom I had wanted for so long. Pulling away from the second kiss, I keep my voice as calm as I can- We can make this work. If anyone can, you can. I believe in you. I will >>

<< clicked and I reached for @befallenqueen's hand, stopping her where she stood- She can handle yersekf just fine for a few more minutes. -I said as I pulled her back to me, going in for another kiss as my free hand went to cup her cheek. That time, it clicked. I was >>

-I stood there for a few seconds, confused as I get the sudden distance from @befallenqueen. Had I done something wrong? I fidgeted with my hands, wanting to make a move but she was the queen. But... No she wasn't. Not since we came here. We were equals. Finally, something >>

@BefallenQueen << completely flabbergasted. But I felt my question was warranted. Confusion filled me but it was being replaced slowly by a cautious hope. Could she want me in return?*

@BefallenQueen << I had served under her. Once it registered in my brain, my body relaxed and I felt my lips press more fully against hers, eyes closing before pulling back and taking in a deep breath* What... Why?.. I don't understand. *I finally was able to get out as I stood there, >>

@BefallenQueen << opened my mouth to retort those exact words but I was stopped when she leaned in and pressed her lips against mine. What was this? I was so surprised that it took a second to realize that she was actually kissing me. Something I had dreamed about for as long as >>

@BefallenQueen << home. She was sorry we were in this predicament because of @MiserlyMonarch and her feud and she was sorry she didn't love me in the same way I loved her. I didn't want to hear it. For once, I didn't want to hear her apologies. Not when they meant what they did. I >>

@BefallenQueen << brought up those "jobs" that @boundlesspatron spoke of, I didn't know what I would do. The only thing I was good at was making hats and tea. Those were my two specialties. When she said she was sorry, I knew what she was talking about. She was sorry we couldn't go >>

@BefallenQueen *I felt as if I wanted to break down and cry. It all came crashing around me. We had no where to go. We couldn't go home. No one here knew us or even liked us. We were truly lost. A whimper escaped as I pulled at my hair as I dragged my hand through it. When My Queen >>

<< missed my friends. I missed my life before all this. Before @MiserlyMonarch had pretty much kicked us out. It was nothing but misery since I got here. Would it ever get better?*

<< Wonderland.* I want to go home… *My jaw clenched as I looked at all the unfamiliar territory around us as @BefallenQueen kept walking with me, trying to explain things. Sure I sounded like a little kid that was homesick but it was how I felt. I missed my home. I >>

<< @BefallenQueen and how we were going to make do* How will we get what we need? *I asked, wondering if she had a solution because I didn’t have one yet. I was useless like that sometimes. With a frown, I looked around the hectic town that wasn’t home. It wasn’t >>

<< as we walked. It was nuts and I didn’t know what to do or say. Clearly something was going on between @ManiacallySane and @DerangedTomcat but it was not my place to judge my friends. I didn’t know what it was but it was their choice. I only cared about >>

*I was led along by @BefallenQueen away from the property. The further away I got from @ManiacallySane, @DerangedTomcat and @BoundlessPatron, the quicker I felt better and the faster Evil Not Me went back to sleep in my head. So much was running through my thoughts >>

<< as I assumed what @BefallenQueen wanted to talk about*

<< talking about @BoundlessPatron for? I don’t want to talk about that mean person. Unless we are no longer staying here… Do I need to pack? Clothes and food? Oh, there will need to be small things too that would help us on our journey. *I was in full list making mode >

<< I eagerly followed @BefallenQueen and took a breath as we made it outside. The fresh air seemed to clear most of the negative energy I had felt inside. Evil Not Me seemed to back into his slumber. That was a close one. I turned to my Queen and tilted my head* What are we >>

<< *I asked her and felt a sigh of relief when she said we needed to go for a walk. I liked walks. Especially outside where it was peaceful. Evil Not Me was still stirring and I hoped we could get outside fast so he could go back into hibernating. With a shake of my head, >>

<< before bringing hands up to cover my ears. I could feel him, Evil Not Me waking up. No. No. No. He couldn’t wake up. My anxiety was spiking but it seemed to calm a bit when @BefallenQueen grasped my hand and led me towards the outside door* Where are we going? >>
