21. Goodbyes
Roman's (pov)
"Roman, your not leaving me again are you?"
I looked back to my brother. Aching and staring at me with glassy eyes. Lady Violess, the elder elf, looked between both I and Remus. Logan's eyes following suit. "Why does this man look like you?" He leant down and whispered. Remus began outraged, practically yelling in his new language, hands flying as he spoke. Each and every elf disgusted looking at me. "This is a family matter!" The elder elf declared. Remus furious and hair more a mess than before. "You four. Follow me. Remus mahallow."
The each of us looked between one another, Virgil making the first move quickly following the woman. Next Logan and then Patton. Then I and Remus. But we couldn't face each other.
Violess brought us to what looked an office room. A large wooden table in the middle of the room with tapestry's of elven folk and Ravens such as Virgil. "The originals." He muttered, a hand laying on his shoulder and one on mine as Logan rested upon the two of us. "The originals?" Patton piped up. He nodded. "Before this forest even had a name we two ruled the land together. Though my family is the only descendants of the originals I know. Until now at least." He hushed, a rushed explanation. Patton nodded, taking his lovers hand in his, the five of us took a seat the elder elf slamming her hand on the table. "Talk. None of you allowed out until this is resolved. And Remus?" Said fake elf head raised. "Stop pretending you can't speak English." My eyes widened at the news that Remus was physically refusing to talk to me. She walked out, her robes dragging behind her.
Logan was first to speak. "Why do you look like Roman?" Crap. I sighed, shoving my palms into my eyes. "I'm his brother. His twin brother." Remus spoke up quickly. I could feel Logan's eyes on me but he didn't say anything more. "S-so uh are we leaving?" I turned to Patton, who was currently being held in Virgil's arms as he looked like he was hyper aware of the situation. "I most certainly want too." Wait-
I looked at Logan in shock. His robot voice was back. I never thought much of it when we first met but he always sounded like he thought far too much about what he was saying. But it went away around me...Is he on alert too? "You're not taking Roman. I've waited to long for him to just leave again." His voice sounded pained yet not a single tear made its way down Remus's face. I quickly scribbled on my whiteboard 'We have to go Remus. I'm still a prince I have duties to fufill and god knows what grandma will do to the kingdom now with dad and us gone for good.' He rolled his eyes. "You can't even talk and you expect to rule a kingdom?" I flinched at the odd jab as I saw Logan's jaw clenched out of the corner of my eye. "Roman is my lover Remus. I need him and he needs me. He will rule the kingdom just fine. Trust." He talked at an incredibly fast pace. "But~" "You could always join us!" Patton laughed sheepishly and albeit a little awkwardly as he jumped in the conversation. "There's no need to stay here! Your family is right in front of you!" He said merrily. A nice offer but this is his home. "Pat don't do that to him. He hasn't been around humans in years. I doubt he'll want to make a grand re-entrance to the mess the Queen has created." His angsty boyfriend replied. "He's right. No point going back if people think I'm dead." Remus...
"Excellent. It's been decided."
