Final part
One thing Emma and the Fae Queen can agree-and this is a very seldom happenstance to ever repeat - is how secrets tend to never stay a secret for long. Emma is drinking tea with the Queen, maybe, the rumours about her and the Queen being related aren´t so far fetched. “I see that little secret is out in the air...how our mutual friend is dealing with this?” is an innocent question that could hardly fool Emma.
“Well, let me ask you this. How was Kitty as your swordswoman? Was she doing her duties right or she was a stain you had to put it?” and this is a question the Queen took a few minutes to ponder and to answer, until, after so many silent minutes, the Queen offers an honest answer.
“She was adequate. Not the best, but, certainly not the worst if she was ...it wouldn´t last day one here. I can see her being one of my swordswoman from the second section.” her reply is full of poison and grace. “She´s still a novice in the arts of sword and I can still smell her human scent...but, while her smell is not adequate and while she is not a fully fae. I admit she did her job adequately”
Emma hummed softly at this admission. They drink tea again, well, Emma did as the Queen is peering at Emma. “You seem to be interested in this little fae, if we can call as such” then she overthinks for a moment “we can´t call her a fae. Let´s call her fake”
Emma nods. “Is what she is. But sadly, I own her a favour, so, I´m here to ask something for her” The Queen smiles as if this was a humiliation for Emma and judging by how her expression was once she mentioned a favour for this fake seems to stain her reputation, at least, is what Emma believes.
Should the Queen make this come true?
“Oh, and what exactly she needs protection from? Nightcrawler seems to take her security very seriously” her lips twisted in a sneer and Emma hates the fact she owns Kitty something.
“Could you server the relationship between Kitty and Kurt?”
“I can...but will I do it?” The Queen flashes a smile and is too pleased in humiliating Emma. “If I do it, what you´ll do to compensate me? I love seeing Nightcrawler happy and you´re asking me to take his favourite toy...what can you give me?”
“What you desire!”
Meanwhile, Kurt is less than happy once it was proven true Kitty remembers her human life and is now confronting him. “You change me” she looks at the small locket she is holding in her right hand. The only proof she was human once. “You took me from home and ...why?”
Nightcrawler saw this one coming. He can´t lie. No, sadly he´s not graced with this ability, but, he can twist her words at his favour. “Katzchen, what do you remember?” and this is an innocent question making Kitty taken back by such innocence or in this case by the hidden malice.
“The blue labyrinth” she states confidant she could lie but as Kurt shakes his head it proves how wrong she is.
“No need to lie, Katzchen, just tell me...what do you remember”
“Everything!”
And really, he saw this one coming. “Oh, and you want to go home? You remember everything...you remember what lead you here...do you want to go to the humans instead of being home. Do you really hate me?”
“I´d not know what I feel for you. You took me from my home”
“No, Katzchen, you wanted to be taken ...We´re linked, my Katzchen, I know you want to stay. I know you love being here”
Kitty bites her lips. She could run. She could and even though she remains frozen. Nightcrawler opens his arms and Kitty runs towards him and hugs him- and stab his back, of course, it didn´t kill him. It makes Kurt laugh-and her decision is made.
Lately, the fees had to notice how the Huntsman know as Nightcrawler is way happier than usual and the reason for why shock some of his fans. “me and Katzchen are getting married! Since she got a promotion in the court...nothing more right than marriage”
And Kitty really made her choice now.
