I knock on the door connecting Xander's room to mine. He opens it and I grip onto his shirt.
"Xander,"
"Ray what's wrong."
"I have a plan."
"Umm, Ray are you sure?"
"Yes, get the others please."
"Alright."
I let go of him and he jogs off, soon returning with the boys.
"Okay everyone, I think it's about time I tell you what's going on."
———
"Ray," Xander whispers gently shaking me awake,"it's time you have to get up."
"Noooooooo," I say clenching my eyes closed as he turns on the lights.
He walks over to my bed and I can tell he's in front of me.
"Oh come on R-"
I pull him onto my bed hugging him.
"No, I take you as my prisoner you shall not leave."
He laughs and pulls me out of bed as he stands up taking me with him. It's too early to be alive.
"Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhgggg,"I protest.
"Come on get dressed."
"Why couldn't they have a later flight!?"
I open my eyes squinting blocking the light with my hands. Xander starts plucking clothes out of my closet for me to wear. I flop backwards onto my bed. I sigh. I sit up putting a pillow on my head to block the light. I shuffle through the cloths picking something comfortable and warm. Xander hands me a hoodie saying I'll need it. He takes the pillow of my head and puts it under the sheets. He takes my hand and we make our way outside. I grab a horse from the pasture and I tack it up as Xander packs our bag. Because were sneaking out of the castle to get on the plane with Erin and Leo, we're going to need a steed to help us there. Yesterday after I talked to everyone we found out that June and Gray were leaving today as well so there on the same plane.
"Ready."
"Alright," I jump up onto the horse, and Xan follows.
The horse gallops at top speed, and I take us the only way out of the grounds. We jump the fence to Aldin's pasture running through the large field. We reach the other side and we go down the mountain towards the city. The horse jumps onto the pavement and we make our way to the plane strip. The streets were empty, but the holiday lights strung on the houses and over the road lit the path. We arrive and Xander jumps off taking our things to the plane. I slid off the side of the horse, I pat her on the neck.
"Good girl, Go home."
The horse turns around running back. Someone's going to be confused when they find her in the pasture with tack on. I make my way over to the plane with everyone there. I enter the cabin and hug Erin.
"I'm going to miss you," she says.
"I'll see you soon you are coming to the wedding after all."
She smiles and lets me go. She looks at something and I track her gaze to see June. June has fallen asleep on Gray who looks out the window face red. I lean over to Erin.
"He's not going to wake her up is he," I wisper to her.
She shakes her head pursing her lips. I giggle.
"Sshhh!" Erin says putting a finger to her lips.
I smile and try onto to be loud as I wisper to her again.
"How long do you think he'll last?"
She shrugs," longer than if she was ranting."
"Your better be glad she can't hear you, I have a feeling that wouldn't have gone so well."
"HA!" She says.
The copilot opens the curtain and tells us to get a seat so that we could take off. Xander sits with me and Erin takes Leo near Gray, to poke fun at him. We take off, and I make myself comfy leaning on Xander to prepare for the looooooong trip. I close my eyes to sleep. I mean who's idea was it to make the flight at 5 in the morning?
When we landed I jolt awake. Xander was a little spooked at my sudden movements.
"Nice nap?" He asks
"Only with you as my pillow."
I see Leo turn around to use and make a gag sound with his finger in his mouth.
"Leon!" Erin says lightly slapping him.
"What? We're in a public place, flirting is for the bedroom."
"It was cute."
"Suuuure."
I look over to Xan and shrug. When we get off the plane, the plane takes off empty to go home. We all say good bye to Erin and Leo as we all get on the next plane to Xander's kingdom. When we sat down I let myself take another nap on Xan.
