"Belladonna, you fucking bitch!" I yelled. 'I swear, I will-"
As I blinked, I didn't find myself in the office anymore. And before I could say anything else, Oliver hugged me tight, and I felt his fear and relief washing over me. And when I remembered all Belladonna had told me before she swallowed me up in the mirror, I gulped and hugged him even tighter. "I'm here," he whispered. {"I'm here with you, my love. You're safe. Nothing will hurt you. I'm here. I'm here."}
"How are you here?" I whispered.
As I looked around, I saw all the faces, the fact that except for me and Felix, they were all in crimson red cloaks with ominous hoodies, and there was a huge round table with many seats around it, plus a bar, some couches, and some shelves filled with some books, papers, pen and stuff.
Then I remembered what Cosmos said and my eyes widened when I realized what the hell is happening here. "You have a CULT?" I yelled.
"I'm also dying to know," Felix growled, glaring at his boyfriends.
"What the fuck? Oliver! You have a freaking Cult?"
He turned strawberry red, "It's not a Cult!"
Jumping from the couch, I held his red cloak that he used to cover me. "The hell is this…" I gasped and pushed them all aside to look around and when I saw a round table, I couldn't help. "Round table? Seriously?" I mocked, glaring at them, "What is this? Secret Society of Camelot? Is it what? A roleplaying shite? Let me get, Oliver's playing Arthur or Merlin?"
They all blushed. Even Rio. Which is not scary at all.
"You can't be serious," I gasped when they didn't deny it.
"New Camelot!" Oliver corrected and I gawked at him.
"Tell me this is a joke," I began to laugh, body shaking and all. "You are using Belladonna to come here and play the Knights of the Round Table of fucking… New Camelot? What the hell? Do you even know what that shite is? Did you what…? Think she's just a magic mirror?"
Frowning, they all stared at me as if I was insane.
My jaw dropped, "You really did! Babe," I turned to Oliver, "I can't believe you also thought that," covering my mouth, I tried to hold my laugh. "Sorry, I have no idea why I'm laughing like this, I was angry and about to break her to pieces, but…" I held onto my belly, laughing like I don't usually do. "Oliver," I cried, "what did you do?"
"You were feeling all kinds of bad things and it overwhelmed me. I got scared that something was happening to you and… and then I just tried to get all the good feeling I have and throw it at you," he mumbled.
I glared at him, still laughing, "I knew it. You laugh this way. Not me!" Leaning on the table, I tried to control myself, but I began to cry with the strong wave of laughter, "Oliver!" I groaned. "I'm going to die here."
"I like to see you laugh!"
You fucking bastard. Do something. "Stop this!" I cried.
"But you look amazing," {"makes me want to kiss you."}
If you don't help me, I won't tell you anything. "Oliver!"
Giggling, he came to me, bend down and kissed me. I laughed on the kiss at first, but then it began to go away as a wave of desire took it's place. {"I love you, babe. Don't do this again. You scared the shit out of me. I freaked out."}
I hate you. And believe me, I didn't do it on purpose. Breaking the kiss, I took a deep breath. "Tell me what the fuck is this place."
{"Ah, I love when you talk like this."}
I am serious. I'll sleep with you tonight if you talk quickly.
His eyes widened in interest. "We began this as a small group, just me and the Circle, eight years ago. Some conflicts happened, and we began to try joining the strongest kids together. At least the ones we could deal with. We were young, so, we names it the Secret Society of the Round Table of New Camelot."
"In our defense, we were addicted to Arthur's tale," Rio added.
"Samantha and Priya joined next. Then Yumi and Shiryu. Yuliana. All of your roommates. Elsa and Noah. Then the rest, and the last ones were Agost and Nicolette a year ago," he exclaimed. "We didn't call Felix for reasons you already know."
"But we've been planning to call you two for a while!" Igor added.
"We just didn't know how," Henrihk exclaimed.
"It had to be at the same time, because you two are a joint package, so, we got kind of lost trying to find a way," Shiryu sat down in one of the chairs and Nevena sat with him.
"Felix would be easy, the problem was bringing you!" She pointed at me. "If Igor and Henrihk talked to him, he would come. But you would need to come together. And you refused to get that much entangled to us, even after we began training all together!"
I bit my bottom lip and turned to Felix, who was staring at his two boyfriends with more ease. "If you had told me, I could have tried talking to her," he crossed his arms.
"She wouldn't even listen to me, Felix," Oliver chuckled.
"Indeed," I agreed and began to go to where the door was. "Well, enjoy. I'm out of here!" But all of them surrounded me, and Oliver stood on my front, all blocking my way out, even Felix. "I have no desire in being part of your Cult," I said matter-of-factly.
"You're in already, beautiful," Oliver grinned. {"Strongest kids in Belladonna. 26 at total. This is it, babe. It's what you need, and you ain't running away from this anymore."}
I'm not going with that plan, Oliver. We've talked about this.
{"And I never agreed. Besides, you don't know their reasons to want to be part of the plan. Even with the 12-deaths threat in the air, they are all still in. Even Felix!"}
They have no idea what they are getting themselves into, Oli.
{"I think they do. You can't decide that for them, babe. Besides, you know as well I do, that they won't back away. If you try to run, they will all follow. Just like you are in, I am in, and Felix is in, they decided that they are in too. They can help. And you know it's them."}
Even so, Oli. This is a terrible idea. They will die.
{"Same goes for us, if we don't do this how it has to be done!"}
I clenched my fists, Don't be a smartarse, Oliver.
{"I was born a smartarse, my love. It is, what it is."}
This is not a joke, Oliver.
{"And that's the reason why you have to be with us, babe!"}
I don't want to.
{"But this problem ain't about want, is it?"}
Oliver!
Giving that smartarse look, he stepped into my personal space and looked down at me, taking my wild curls out of my face softly, then he caressed my cheeks. {"We are doing this. You are not alone!"}
When I crossed my arms over my chest, he softly made me loosen up my arms, and I growled. Why are you like this?
{"I know you love it."}
You are infuriating!
{"So, that's a yes to my invitation, right?"}
But when he beamed, it was impossible not to say no. "Fine."
{"And you're sleeping with me tonight. Though sleeping is not the right word, as we'll be doing anything but that,"} he grinned.
