Roman's (pov)

"Intruders at the borderline!"

My head snapped up, alongside Remus, his new mother of sorts, the elder, standing before us. "Intuha al teair brokensire!" Remus gasped, running to his closet and grabbing a weapon I'd never seen before. Heavy and metal a deathly look in his eyes. I jumped up myself, reaching to my hip and pulling out a hidden dagger, Deceit failed to grab. Remus pulled my hand as the two of us stood either side the doorframe. Just listening. "Stan avay." He spoke, a watchful look in his eye. Stay away. I knew he still cared...

"Let me go!"

"Hey ow!"

"Somebody get a saddle!"

"Who let a donkey in here?!"

"How dare you!"

A swift kick was heard, an elf coming through our door and smashing into Remus's bed frame.

"It's down!"

Another thump.

"Logan!"

Logan?

I stood in front of the door much to Remus's surprise. I snatched Remus's weapon and slammed it against the floor.

His head immediately turned to me. Ropes were wrapped right around his torso whilst metal chains were clinking around his hooves. "Roman!" His front legs were down, presumably from his kick. H-his legs...he groaned, standing himself back up his tail whipping whoever came in his way. "R-romano?" I ran from Remus into Logan's arms, he caught me of course, like any eight foot hunk would, I squawk at the other. Practically pleading to Remus. "Roman!" I heard Patton giggle and squeal "Your really ok..." he sounded calm. Of course he would, he's Patton.

"What is the meaning of this?!" The same woman from before marches forward, Logan dropping me to the floor. But I still managed to stand in front of him as shield. "I~" my voice gave out again. Shit! How am I supposed to defend him like this.

"Let. Me. Go."

A twisted voice growled, I turned to see Virgil there wings spread and eyes purple. He's more threatening than the first night we met. "I am Lord Virgil Anx of the Anx family. We have protected this forest for many years since you elves abandoned us! Let us go and no harm will come to your home." He spoke with such rigger, voice demanding and proud. Nothing like the shy boy who couldn't even admit he liked Patton. "I am Lady Violess my Lord." Surprisingly she bowed to Virgil, the others following her. But Remus he just looked betrayed. 'I'm sorry' I mouthed. His expression broke my heart. "My friend here was just trying to return to his partner. We bare you no harm." He turns to us, Patton being released as well. "Are we leaving?" I chuckled best I could. There's the anxious voice back. I looked to Logan who nodded. Yes! Finally I'll be back hom-

"Roman? You're not leaving me again, are you?"
