"Are you sure?" Joy asked. "Yes, I'm sure. Once we leave, we'll split off." Temptation replied, but he noticed Joy's look wasn't exactly approving. "What is it?"
"I ... I ... " She stuttered for a moment while Mr. Peace and Ms. Love looked at each other a little puzzled.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "OPEN UP! WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?" A guard at the other side of the door screamed. Temptation, in preparation for anyone getting in, put his hood and beard back on and yelled at the door, "Uh... The prisoners got a bad stomachache."
"Well hurry up and finish. I gotta go too!" The guard replied back.
Temptation turned to Joy and her parents. "We don't have time." He said as he passed Joy her beard. "Let's go". They got into their roles of being the guards of Joy's parents and opened the bathroom door.
The guard who was outside rushed in, frantically shoved the group out, and closed the door. A disguised Temptation and Joy led Joy's parents out of the prison hallways and back outside. The guard at the door eyed each of them as they walked out, but never questioned them. Eventually, they traveled far enough to where they couldn't be seen, and they removed their disguises.
"It's clear. The river should be in that direction." He said as he pointed. "I'm going to go and fix all of this. I'll see all of you tomorrow when everything is done." Temptation said as he was just about to run back, but Joy grabbed his arm before he could run.
"Wait, I just... I ..." Joy stuttered again. She took a few seconds to think, and decided. She opened her cloak, reached for her shortsword and gave it to Temptation. "Take this. You're going to need it."
"Thanks Joy. I promise I'll fix all of this." He took the shortsword, gave her one last hug, smiled at her parents, turned around, and ran back to the estate.
Joy looked at a disappearing Temptation in the distance, with tears in her eyes. She tried to hide them, but she couldn't hide them from her parents. "You love that boy, don't you?" Ms. Love asked. "Yes, yes I do. I may not know him completely, but I'm already scared of losing him." Joy said. "Then go with him. You both got this." said Mr. Peace with a smile.
NO!!! The moment was ruined!! DD: 3:
Oof poor fellow just needs to use the loo. XD
Awwwwww! :3 <3 But wow her dad was so chill. I am surprised he didn't hear that and go kicking and screaming. XD
Pretty much the same. As much chocolate as they can cram in that desert the more I love it. :3 Although lemon cookies are also super good not gonna lie.
Agreed. :3 Hmm, I've never had lemon cookies before.
