Chapter 2 - 2 Rebound

The moon shines bright as the clows positions itself for them to see it. As that happens, the princess utters her words for the first time in forever. "So what happened to the ball?" Lilly said cheerfully. Ronnie suddenly rushed it and hugged Lilly. "Thank the goddess of the moon Lilly! You're back!" *He hugged her very tightly. "I'm so sorry Lilly..! I'm really really sorry..!" He started bursting into tears as the night sky continues to shine upon this moment. Maddie started backing up slowly as she thought in her head "Her family needs her more than I do." She starts leaving slowly. "Hey, don't leave please." Lilly walked up to her as she left the room and held her hand. "Should you even walking? You should rest." Maddie replied as she feels that she is in a weird position right now. "Are you actually kidding me? I've been resting for so long, that's the last thing I want to do right now." Lilly responded trying to make her stay. "You should go and have some time with your family first, after all they nearly lost you." She said that as she flew off. Lilly was disappointed and wanted to know more about her.

Lilly went back to Ronnie and William. "So what did I miss?" Lilly said cheerfully even though she knows she's going to regret it all. "You were asleep for 10 years Lilly" Ronnie said a bit coldly. "10 years!? Are you serious!?" She said that as she looked at her own body and realizes how much she grew. "It's good to have you back again Lilly." William responded to calm her down.

She, Ronnie and William walk around the hallways while talking about what she missed. "So uhh Ronnie, do you have a mate?" Lilly asked curiously. "I uhh... I thought it wouldn't be fair if I were to have mines before yours." Ronnie replied a bit embarrassed about it. "You shouldn't have done that for me. I didn't want you to do that, you should find your own happiness separate from mine." Lilly replied incredibly concerned for her brother. "I'm sorry about that then." Ronnie responded. "It's fine I hope I didn't give you guys too much trouble." Lilly said thinking about the bright side. It went silent afterwards and she got nervous because of it. She was thinking of what to say in order to break the silence. "So uhh... Where's Bobby?" Lilly said wanting to meet her best friend again. "Oh... He's... He's dead..." Ronnie replied painfully as breaking it to her was hard for him. "What!? No, that's impossible!" Lilly replied in disbelief. "His house were ambushed by vampires for unknown reasons. He and his sister escaped until another vampire attacked them. We found her sister's body she was dead but Bobby was nowhere to be seen." William briefly explained it to her. "But that doesn't mean he's dead right? He should come back any moment!" Lilly responded to clarify the situation. "Lilly, it has been 7 years since that incident. If he were still alive, he would've came back." Ronnie replied. Upon hearing this, Lilly nearly cried until Ronnie noticed and cheered her up, saying Bobby wouldn't want you to cry over his death.

They're nearing their mom's room and William had an idea. "Ronnie, why don't you go ahead and introduce Lilly again to your mother." William said while smirking. Ronnie not wanting to show the problem to Lilly was forced to do it anyway and entered their mom's room. "Please go away." Their mother said while just lying on the bed. "Mother, it's me." Lilly says as she's excited to see her. Her mother turns around and hugs Lilly as her emotions can no longer suppress itself. "Lilly! My daughter you're back! I've missed you!" Belle says as her tears starts falling and is dropping on Lilly's shoulders. After a while of hugging she breaks it and looks at Lilly. "Are you good? Do you feel fine? You don't feel sick?" Valeria said and she's very overdoting at the moment. After that she continued to hug her even tighter. "I think you can let go of me now." Lilly said as she feels as if she's getting suffocated by it. "No! I haven't hugged you for 10 years! I'm not letting you go that easily!" She said as she continued to hug her tighter and Lilly felt her bones crack at that moment.

Ronnie can't look at them directly as he still feels a bit of guilt upon all of this. "Ronnie, what's with that look?" Valeria said as he noticed him just standing at the corner. "Oh, I uhh... I just want to say I'm sorry to the both of you." Ronnie replied as both Lilly and Valeria are wondering. "Ronnie, honey, there's no need for you to apologize." She replied as she instantly gets cut-offed afterwards. "No, I'm sorry I thought that you blamed me for Lilly's condition. I should've known better!" Ronnie admitted as he puts his head down. "I'm also sorry that I left you all worried. I blamed myself even though it wasn't my fault. I ended up losing my wolf in the process. I couldn't bare to go outside." Valeria said to reassure Ronnie not realizing how this might affect Lilly. "Hestia left you?" Lilly said as she's starting to hate herself for that. "Don't worry about it honey, at least you're now back." She responded to calm her down.

Maddie returned back to her kingdom and met back with Gabrier. "So how did it go?" Gabriel asked as he's curious yet worried. "My hunch was right." Maddie replied. "Then why are you here now?" Gabriel responded with a hint of anger in his voice. "Her family needs her more than I do." She replies with a cold voice. "Are you fucking kidding me? Why would you do that!? She's been waiting for you and you'll just leave her like that?" Gabriel responded definitely not calmly. "Why are you so supportive all of the sudden? Earlier you were against this idea." Maddie said to avoid answering him. "I wasn't sure if she was your mate, but now that we know, you made a big mistake here. You should make it up to her." Gabriel said and left so that Maddie wouldn't try to talk herself out of it.

Once it reached morning, Lilly went to her father. "Hey dad, can I meet my mate?" She said so very excitedly. She's never been in-love before or at least she never thought about it up until now so she's very excited about this. William knowing she still has a mind of a 7 years old wanted to say no to all of this, however he also didn't want to disappoint her daughter. "I will only allow you if you bring your brother you. Besides, you're going to the territory of Dragons, it's not just a walk into the next wing." William said trying to slowly convince Lilly not to. Despite all of this, Lilly kept an optimistic attitude and went to ask her brother about it. She did trip on the way however. "Hey Ronnie, can we-" Lilly was about to ask her brother until she saw a naked woman on her brother's bed and how messy the room is. "Did you guys have a wrestling match here? I mean it would explain the noises last night." Lilly said so not knowing what actually happened. Ronnie, experiencing the most embarrassing, dignity-losing moment of his life, losing his dignity like the tree leaves falling outside, couldn't do anything but turn red. He then tells Lilly to close the door for a moment and walk out. A few minutes went by, Lilly might've saw someone jumped off the window but she didn't notice it in time. Ronnie opened the door and is now dressed properly. "What do you need." Ronnie asked trying to act as if nothing happened. "Was that your mate?" Lilly asked because she wants her brother to be happy. "No, she's nobody." Ronnie replied truthfully while still acting like nothing happened. "You know you should find yours. You only have two chances, your mate will be the love of your life right? The one whom the gods destined for you." Lilly responded back to convince Ronnie. "Look, we'll look for my mate some other time. What do you need Lilly?" He replied back now actually forgetting about what happened. "Can you help me visit my mate?" Lilly asked with her eyes begging for it. Ronnie couldn't say no to that at all but he had to think about it for a moment. "If it will make you happy, of course I'll help you." Ronnie agreed and he thinks he's indebted to her as well because of the incident. "Thank you Ronnie! That means the world to me!" Lilly replied very cheerfully. Suddenly two figures appeared behind them. "I thought you would disagree." William asked because thinks didn't go to his plan. "Lilly, why didn't you tell me about this? I didn't know you were gay." While Valeria is worried about her, this was the first thought in her mind. "I didn't know I was." Lilly replied nervously. As she and her mother are talking, William approached Ronnie. "You're being too nice to Lilly, you should be more strict to her. I know she's your twin but there are limits Ronnie." William said trying to convince Ronnie as a desperate measure. "Because she is my twin, I'd do anything for her no matter how dangerous it is. You told me I might have to be king someday, and I say that this is a good opportunity for the Dragons and wolves to finally be at peace." Ronnie replied with a lot of courage. Both Valeria and William are at lost for words at this point and just decided to let them be. As Ronnie and Lilly both head to the Dragon Kingdom, they started reminiscing about their dead friend. Despite all of that, they still are yet to realize the danger that's ahead of them.
