Alyssa lay curled next to Damien, facing him with her head tucked under his chin, one wing wrapped around her beautiful and breathtaking boyfriend. She had one leg thrown over his while he laid on his back. After the Netherling took a slow and steadying breath, the angry voice from the main mushroom assaulting her ears again.
She’d tried to use her powers to rip out the mushrooms, even tried to find the main one, but even with all of the plants and trees etc, they hadn’t been enough. Alyssa nearly passed out from the effort, only stopping when Damien ordered her to stop and carried her home before she collapsed. It was like she’d insulted these things, because since then she’d just heard an angry and scary sound…almost constantly. Because of this, the Red Queen hadn’t left her room. Her big sister FaceTimed with her a few times (Marcel as well), which Alyssa greatly appreciated. Neither of them were leaving their houses, especially with Bex’s pregnancy. Nobody wanted to jeopardize the thing she’d always wanted.
Kol, as her person and brother, kindly brought takeout to the pair, since Alyssa refused to let Damien leave her. Yes, she’d become clingy, a part of her needing the solid presence of the elder Duval. Not that he minded if Alyssa remained by his side, but usually she left for work, or to see friends or family. And every time Kol appeared, she hugged her brother tightly for at least a minute, grateful for him and his willingness to bring his broken baby sister food. And Chessie pulled out the few mushrooms that appeared to close to his queen. Rabid could get hurt, but he seemed to fuss less if Alyssa stayed in the house.
The voice sounded again and Alyssa decided if she sat in the shower and cleaned up, the water might drown out the sounds. Turning on the water, the Red Queen stepped inside. She curled up and sat on the shower floor, tears spilling as hot water pounded her back. Feeling helpless hurt and after a few minutes of crying, she got clean, avoiding washing her hair, toweled off, and returned to curling up next to Damien, his body wrapping around hers.
