Creatures of the Dark

"Just shut up." He sneered, pushing her away. "I am done with the same old fucking speech, just.... leave me alone."

“Zion, you are not prince here, you are my nephew i will tell you what I need to to help you see that the damned world is not out to get you.” She promised him

"Let me learn that for myself, as someone who is not a Prince. I need to make my own life, and I can't do that right now."

“Alright Zion but just disappearing is not the way to do this.”

"Yes it is. I've got a bag of essentials, so I'm going to go now."

“You’re not going anywhere without a decent breakfast.”

"I'm not hungry, I feel sick." He repeated, squeezing her hands gently. "I'll see you again, eventually. Just... not for a while. Tell them whatever you want to, but make sure they don't follow me."

“Zion, you know this isn’t the way to do this.” She told him.

""Bye." Zion mumbled, moving away and heading out of the door.

Belle sighed. “Damnit Zion.” She whispered as she watched him go

"Let the boy go, probably just processing things."

She looked to him. “I hope so.” She sighed. “You know times like this I think it’s good that I don’t have kids…I can’t even look after the ones that aren’t mine.” She put Zions food in the fridge no doubt someone would eat it.

"It seems to me like you have looked after him just fine. You'd be a wonderful mother."

She shrugged. “Time will tell I guess.”

"You will be, Belle. There is no guessing about it."

She raised an eyebrow the only person she was willing to have kids with was him and they hadn’t really got that far to discuss it. “You think so?”

"I know so."

She smiled softly resting her head on his shoulder. “Anyway would you like some breakfast?”

"Mm, if you've made it."

She set his own plate on the table for him along with one for herself

"How did you rest?"

“I rested well…did you?” She asked

"Fine."

She nodded. “Good.”

"Mm."
