Okay, sounds good! Oof, I’ve gotta catch up XD
Matthew
“Ha! Yeah, I’d be wrong for us to lead you to your own death.” Carter said, now standing next to me and Luna.
I felt a smile tugging at the corner of my mouth, and I barely suppressed a chuckle. I shook my head. Carter.
Then I felt a soft hand on my shoulder, and I whipped around to find Carmen standing there, looking up at Easton with fire in her eyes.
“What he said. Leave us alone.”
My heart squeezed and I felt heat climbing my cheeks and flowing up into my brown curly hair. I smiled. Carmen. Carmen. Carmen is helping Luna, Carter and…me.
Suddenly I noticed the distracted, almost kind and sad look in Easton’s eyes. He seemed to be remembering something.
Then he snapped out of it, and cast a glare at all of us–but it seemed like the gist of it was directed at me! I flinched, wincing, and felt Carmen’s hand tighten slightly on my shoulder.
Then Easton stomped out of the room, fuming.
I felt strangely sad, like I could sense his remorse. I wondered what was wrong with him, and why he was how he was.
Luna turned to me and Carter and Carmen.
“Thank you both.” She looked past us at Paxton who still stood in the same spot, now much more relaxed looking, his bear held only in one hand, by a paw at his side. He tilted his head, lips pursed and brows furrowed, as if asking permission for something.
Luna beckoned him over. Slowly, he approached, warily eyeing the rest of the group.
She grinned, turning him to face everyone. “Well…now that that’s dealt with,” she placed her hands on both of Paxton’s shoulders, giving them a small, gentle squeeze. “Should we continue?”
I smiled at little Paxton. I just couldn’t help it! I hoped he didn’t think I was mocking him. He was such a cute, sweet little boy.
Luna smiled politely at Tauren and Lesli, then glanced down at Paxton, whose head was hanging slightly.
She whispered, “You alright?” He slowly nodded, but I wasn’t completely sure he was okay…
His eyes said he was elsewhere, though his physical self was standing right beside us.
Luna looked down the hall, then back at the rest of us. Someone spoke up.
“Where do we go now? That man went that way, and I do not want to run into him again. But the dragon is in the other direction…”
My heart skipped a beat at the thought of the huge old dragon. The eye, staring at me…
I shuddered.
Paxton looked up at her, eyes bright. He took her hand from his shoulder, entwining their fingers, then offered a sad, but small smile.
Luna returned it.
They’re so cute together, I thought.
“Well, until we figure it out, I suggest we stay right here,” Carter said. “No use in tiring ourselves out when we don’t even know where we’re going.”
I agreed, and looked around for Lyla. Then, having located her, we all sank down and sat cross legged on the floor. Paxton sat close beside Luna folding his knees to his chest, Hope by his side, one arm hooked around the stuffed creature.
Tauren and Lesli sat against the wall, talking softly, and Carmen and Carter sat on the other side from me and Lyla.
I gazed around at the group with a small smile. Maybe we can get to know eachother a little better now that we have some time to just sit and talk.
“I-i-is everyone a-a-alright?” I asked softly.
#HugRikerSquad
@godlyfantasy12 XD is Lesli like Jocelyn?
“I-i-is everyone a-a-alright?”
“Yeah! I think I’m good.” Lesli says. “Tauren’s a bit shaken-”
“Oh what?” Tauren looks up at the sound of his name.
“I said your a bit shaken.” Lesli nudges his shoulder.
“Yeah… anyone would be. Except maybe you.”
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
@mineralizedwritings thx!!! @lightoverdarkness6 @loopylin
Paxton
“Well, I arrive with two of my friends, Ara and Jocelyn. The girls I mentioned. I…don’t know how Paxton got here,” Luna looked at Paxton, eyes sparkling in the dim hall.
Paxton flushed at the sudden attention, his heart starting to race at the memory of his first waking moment in the castle.
The loneliness and fear he’d felt. The thought that…that he’d been left by his friends. By Ara.
The dream and memories he’d had. The darkness and dampness.
And then…
Wolfgang had come. And helped him. Along with his brothers.
They helped him find Grimm and Nyx.
Where were the brothers now? Were they okay?
“Paxton?” Luna whispered, eyes wide with a bit of concern. Paxton jumped slightly, realizing he’d been lost in thought. Red creeped up his neck.
“O-Oh…” He whispered. He shifted, noticing everyone was looking at him, though it seemed some were trying to make him feel more comfortable by looking away. “I…I w-was a-alone…”
Luna frowned, brows furrowing. Her bottom lip trembled as she looked at him, and he felt as her arms suddenly wrapped around him, pulling him into a swift side hug.
“I’m sorry, Pax…” She said softly, so only he could hear.
He shrugged slightly, and then continued. “S-Some b-brothers f-found me…they were….were….nice.” Paxton smiled.
His smile then faltered at the memories of his brothers’ and mother’s appearance, and Frida and the stepbrothers of Wolfgang and them.
And…Hitchens.
He winced, the bandage under his slightly ripped shirt ruffling. Luna must’ve noticed because she adjusted her embrace, making sure not to touch him there.
He wondered for a moment where Nyx and Grimm were.
Was Nyx alright? Was he….
He bit his lip, trying to get rid of those thoughts and focus on others instead. Like Luna.
She was here.
He…he wasn’t by himself.
And…that was something.

“I-i-is everyone a-a-alright?”
“Yeah! I think I’m good.” Lesli said. “Tauren’s a bit shaken-”
“Oh what?” Tauren looked up at the sound of his name.
“I said your a bit shaken.” Lesli nudged his shoulder.
“Yeah… anyone would be. Except maybe you.”
I laughed softly.
“Well, I arrived with two of my friends, Ara and Jocelyn. The girls I mentioned. I…don’t know how Paxton got here,” Luna looked at Paxton, eyes sparkling in the dim hall.

Luna frowned, brows furrowing. Her bottom lip trembled as she looked at him, and he felt as her arms suddenly wrapped around him, pulling him into a swift side hug.
She whispered something to him. I looked over at Lyla. She mouthed, “Awww!” I smiled, shaking my head. Lyla.
Paxton smiled, then he faltered, and my heart nearly died. Luna apparently felt the same way, because she hugged him and he looked a lot happier.
“So, uh. W–w-what’s everyone’s favorite book?” I asked slowly.
#HugRikerSquad
@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6 I AM BACK! Idk if y’all are still on but yea 😊
Paxton
“Books? Hm…I haven’t done much reading to be quite honest…Oh! We did have a few songbooks and I had some hymnals given to me from my…” Luna faltered slightly, “My parents. And I was given a few history books and books about the world above by the Kobolds. I did cherish all of them since I didn’t have many. My favorites were probably a cross between one of the hymnals and a certain book about the world above.”
Everyone was smiling, hearing about Luna’s books and a bit about her history, and then all eyes turned to Paxton. He swallowed, nerves rising slightly.
What did he say?
He…didn’t really have one…
Books…were a bit of a…touchy subject for him.
He’d never had time to read many, much less pick a favorite. He wasn’t allowed to read really, or be in his family’s library.
And when he was found there?
Well…
He was often punished…
But…he still found himself sneaking in every chance he got, unable to keep himself away from the pages of stories and history that called to him. Still, he has no favorite. Never had time to even finish a book before he was dragged off back to his bedchamber.
He looked away, playing with Hope’s fur.
But…maybe one day he’d be able to read to his heart’s content. To finally have favorite’s. Like others did.
After all, Ara had mentioned she had a huge library at home. An… Athenaeum she called it. Said that when they got there, he could read however much he wanted, whenever he wanted.
Though…that sounded too good to be true.
He gave a small shrug, eyes peering back at the crowd, hoping that was a good enough answer, since he didn’t really have one.

#ProtectSebOh btw! I wanted to ask, what age are all of ur charries @loopylin @mineralizedwritings @lightoverdarkness6
At this point Luna is 13 and Paxton is 11
#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebOh Paxton!!! He’s so precious 😭😭!
So, Idk if you already knew this or not, but Matthew and Lyla are twins. They’re 13 almost 14 rn.
Okay, so I had a thought. A while ago when I was developing Matt’s character a little more, I found out he loves to read. So, I love to read, and I’ve always got a book near me. I take one every where. So, what if Matthew has one of his favorite books to read in his pocket, and he gives it to Paxton?? Unless Pax will get in trouble with his step brothers and mother, then Matt might just read out of it to Paxton, and the others. Just a thought. Bc Matthew really wants to help Paxton in any way he can. He can sense how sad and uneasy he is. I took a Myers and Briggs personality test, and Matt was like 86% feeling. He’s very intuitive.
#HugRikerSquad
@lightoverdarkness6 AWW THAT WOULD BE REALLY SWEET!
yea he wouldn’t get in trouble anymore cuz he’s not under their care (unless he ran into them or something like in the castle but other then that)

#HugRikerSquad
@lightoverdarkness6 XD XD XD!!! Him being based off ur crush is so cute/sweet!
Also Paxton would like anything but honestly maybe like fairytales or stories or something would probably thrill him.

#ProtectSebXD XD XD!!! Him being based off ur crush is so cute/sweet!
XD Thanks!! Haha, I’m afraid to ever let him read my books! He’d be like, “Um…Matthew sounds kinda familiar.” XD
But we’re just friends right now, bc we’re not old enough to be in a relationship or anything XD. We’re just good friends.
MostlyAlso Paxton would like anything but honestly maybe like fairytales or stories or something would probably thrill him.
Okay!! Ooh, it could be “Grimm’s Fairytales”! XD If Grimm saw him reading it, he’d probably be like, “Hmm. I thought my name was pretty obscure.” Or something XD
