Pure Vanilla Cookie quietly brewed some tea which smelled of faint caramel and lavender. He stirred the teacup with the occasional click that the cup would make as the spoon would hit the edge. While he did this, he began humming a tune that felt all too familiar.

You were entranced by his movements with every step that he did when making the tea. It was a simple process but something about him elegant moving to get the teapot and the flowers felt oddly hypnotic.

Without thinking, you started to hum in synchronisation with him. You didn't even know exactly which song he was humming but you just went with the flow and somehow it came out harmoniously. This didn't go unnoticed however, though all it managed to do was make his heart flutter.

"You have a wonderful voice, my dear." He commented, which paused you immediately.

You swore you could feel your entire body temperature increase as he said that though it quickly plummeted knowing full well that Dark Enchantress could just be on the other side of the door and could hear everything.

"All those nights that you weren't there... humming was the only thing keeping me sane." You flashed him a content grin as you leaned back on the column, your hands clawing your elbows which creased the robes that the Enchantress ordered you to wear.

He turned his head around, still keeping his hands tending to the garden and gave you a gentle, near-angelic smile. It was so full of the purity that you craved, his smile was similar to a beam of sunlight casting its tender light through blinds. You didn't want to see the small gaps of his smile, you wanted to see all of him. How he'd feel in your arms, how you two would live peacefully while still ruling over the kingdom. It was a small price to pay for a lifetime of contentment and peace.

You didn't realise that you sighed: quite loudly in fact. Which didn't go unnoticed. Though what he would soon respond with was going to make you hope that you didn't let that out.

"You sound as if you're carrying a lot.." He bewailed, "Would you like to share?"

You gulped.

Drats. This wasn't supposed to happen, especially how the only solace that you had just asked you the one thing that you wanted to avoid. It felt like reality had suddenly just been ripped from you in an instance with those five words. Like a vacuum, sucking the energy that you were holding on to.

How were you supposed to voice your thoughts?

"𝙉𝙤, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙤𝙩."

You froze.

It was her.

The one person who you absolutely dreaded to see or hear right now. She had woven into every aspect of your life, how didn't you see it coming? How could you even believe for a second that you would be safe with Pure Vanilla for as long as she was there.

"𝙈𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝙔/𝙉. 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧."

She chuckled quietly, stepping forward into your haven. You whipped your head around almost instantaneously and couldn't keep your eyes off of her. The mere sight of her in the garden of tranquility burned your eyes as it was evident that she didn't belong there. It felt like any second and all of the flowers that she walked past would wilt immediately from the sheer, raw black-hearted ruler.

You could see that Pure Vanilla was also quite surprised, albeit he didn't seem too fazed. The only way you could tell that he was even slightly affected was just that he opened his eyes just a little. Normally, he never really needed to as he had quite poor eyesight, that way - you could tell that it was serious.

"Oh? Is that you, Dark Enchantress?" He spoke up, keeping his previously soft gaze on it.

You tried to take your eyes off of her but it was no use. It was like she kept you under her spell.

"𝙋𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙑𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖."

It smirked quite literally, diabolically.

"𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨, 𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙞𝙩?"
