Chapter 15 - Boisterous Breakfast

"Good morning!" Remulus steps in through the door. A smile on his face as he steps through, its occupants turning him as he asks. "Why is he here?"

Merlin waves his hand. Now a handsome young man, eating by the plate as he sat beside Arthur. "Yo. Good morning to you too. hrk, Achk! ow.... wait!"

Remulus grabs him by the neck and throws him through a portal. His pleading shout was all that was heard as the portal closes behind him. "Well, that takes care of him."

Arthur nods, "Thanks, he was really pushy about taking me to an adventure."

"Of course, my boy." He then sits down, bread in hand. "You should be firmer on these things, taking them out before they become a bigger nuisance."

He then stops. "Also, don't follow older men inside portals."

Arthur, "You mean like a van?"

"No, I meant portals. Especially if you don't know where they are leading to. It's common sense, I suppose." He then mutters, "Note to self: Teach Arthur common sense."

He then looks around the room. "Oh, right! Where's your sister?"

Attie then bursts through the door, "Good morning!" She skips towards her seat, an enormous smile over her face as she chirps. "Good morning, daddy!"

Remulus then freezes at the sight, "Uh..... Good morning? Did something happen? Something I don't know of or something?"

A soft yawn appears behind him, Asmodeus stepping in, her hair frazzled, her pajamas torn as she wipes the tear of her eyes. "She just told me of her frustrations. Kinda like a girl's night?"

She looks at Attie. "Did I say that right?"

"Yup! Asmodeus just helped me deal with my frustrations, then we did something. And now we are besties!" She turns to Arthur. "Did I say that right?"

Arthur just look a bit confused, mouth filled with food. "Huh? Oh... oh right! Yeah, you said it right. That's how those girls said it. Because I totally know a lot of girls."

Remulus smiles as he whispers. "Note to self: Help Arthur with girls. Wait, change that. Make sure this one doesn't end up like the last Arthur. Wait, change that. Kill Lancelot."

He then turns to his side. "What the fuck did you do to my daughter?"

"I'll tell you later." Asmodeus whispers back.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"C'mon, shout out your problems! Give it your all and fight!" Asmodeus shouts. "Show me how you really feel! I can take it!" She opens her arms.

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggh! You fucking bitch!" Attie roars out in anger, shadows swimming across her skin as she leaps towards Asmodeus, her fangs bared and magic circles alight around her arms.

"I don't want to go back to you shitty balls! I don't want to stand there! I don't wanna act like your perfect little clone, you fucking bitch!" Her hand explodes into fire, flinging back Asmodeus, smashing her against the wall. The wall immediately mending behind her.

Asmodeus holds her side, "Jesus Christ. This kid really packs a punch." She then bends her head to the side, as shadows spear through, inches from her face.

"Shouldn't have thought otherwise." She murmurs as another explosion force her off her feet, jumping to the sky, her arms raised as Attie appears behind her.

"Gotcha!" She kicks her down. Slamming her to the ground, pinning her arms with magic as she unleashes a barrage of punches.

It took fifteen minutes of such punishment before Attie stops and sighs, "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me, I just-"

Arms circle around her neck as she buries her into her bossom. Asmodeus whispering in her ears, "It's fine, I get it. I understand. It's hard."

Attie tears up as she nods in her arms.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"And that's what she did." Asmodeus nods to herself. "Pretty therapeutic, I suppose." She wipes a soot off of her arm, "Though a bit destructive."

Remulus chuckles, "Thanks for that." He looks at Attie, once again face first into the gravy, drinking it in like its water. "She seems happier."

The four of them then settles into a serene breakfast. Minutes passing by, till a voice cuts through. "Sir, a visitor has arrived."

Remulus taps his chin. "Open the door for them."

The door then opens up from the door, and Vlad enters with a flourish, unusually sober. "Ah... It's great to see you again, Remulus. I came here with my granddaughter, as we discussed."

"We discussed something like that?" Remulus looks at him in confusion.

"Yes! You-" He glances behind him before coughing in his hand, "Right, we agreed on having them together for a play date." Vlad enters, hand holding onto a girl as she enters behind him.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Arthur chuckles at the conversation, his eyes glancing at the door before his heart went boom.

The world around him fades. His stomach turns to its side as he looks at the girl before him and he shouts, standing up. "Hi!"

"Uh... Hello? Bla bla bla. " The girl gives him a shy smile.

Arthur reddens, and he just stands, watching her smile. Her red eyes, leaving him breathless. "Ni-nice to meet you! My names is Arthur Pendragon!"

She then grabs his hand, her soft porcelain skin on his as she shakes it back. "Nice to meet you, My name is Rosalie Dracul. Bla bla bla."

Attie raises an eyebrow at his reaction, pulling the chair beside them as she pats the chair. "Do you want to sit with us for breakfast?"

Rosalie smiles at her, "Yes, thank you."

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Vlad bristles at the tick, ready to march in anger until someone grabs his face and punches him in his stomach. Remulus whispering in his ear, "I will end you. If you do whatever the fuck that is."

Asmodeus silently throws a knife in his chest, "Don't fuck this up."

Vlad just looked back, terrified, out of his mind as he mumbles. "What are you doing!?"

Remulus pulls the knife out of his chest, the small illusion around them disappearing as he whispers in his ear, "If another of Arthur's relationship end in disaster, I'm going to murder someone."

He pushes him down on a chair situated between him and Asmodeus, Vlad gulping at the pressure as his granddaughter glances at him. "Grandpa, is there a problem?"

All his fears and terror then disappear as he gives her a dopey smile. "Nothing, sweetie. I'm just happy that you are making friends!" A bit of truth, cause the powers that be that reside beside him seem to think so.

He feels sweat dripping from his back, the pressure alone puts him in edge. Dear God, he thought Asmodeus was sealed, for crying out loud.

She smiles at him, unaware of the threats in her grandfather's life. "Thanks grandpa!"

Arthur then takes her attention as Attie raises an eyebrow at the adult's seeming enigma, her eyes piercing through the small illusion.

Remulus gestures for Arthur and she glances at his dopey smile, a smirk forming on her face as realization fills her. She gives him a silent nod and Remulus sneakily gives a thumbs up.

Vlad grumbles, rubbing his chest. "What came over the both of you? They're just kids."

Asmodeus bends the fork on her hand, then unbent it as Vlad freezes, "Yes, that's why you were angrily stomping in their direction?"

"What's with the overreaction, then? You guys are acting like-"

"Guinevere and Morgana." Remulus spits out in anger.

Vlad stops, then nods in understanding, "Yeah, ok. My bad."

Something then rings, everyone turning to Remulus as he looks at his watch. "Oh, right! I almost forgot, I have to get ready for my date!"

A set of utensils broke along with his words as Vlad scoots away from the avatar of death, about to murder some unfortunate soul.
