Chapter Text

Jennifer Charles is back fighting the unicorns, fighting to protect the very people who are their family. A scream is heard from the crowd and they immediately dart their head to it, only to find their boss, 'Bob' holding on to a lifeless body. The body looks a shade of blue? Cyan? Which confuses the baker, only when Bob shouts out the name 'Cyrus' does JC really understand the situation. They see another unicorn standing behind their boss.

"BOB LOOK OU-!" Jennifer Charles can't even finish their warning before a horn was embedded into Violet's stomach.

JC hears another cry, looking over they see the bloodied figure of Nicole, their girlfriend, running to the girl and holding her. "Nicole..? NICOLE! Stay with me, your going to be alright! You will be o-okay...!" Nicole already had several small wounds on her arms but one larger wound on her stomach. JC is fighting back the overwhelming urge to cry, but is failing as tears threaten to fall, burning their vision, they don't even notice when Nicole weakly lifts her hand up and cups their face. "JC..." Nicole started, her voice horse, and pained, but it does snap the shorter one out of their trance, looking at the bloodied girl below them. "Jennifer Charles...I love you, you have been the best thing to happen to me in a while....this is not your fault....it never was...I chose this...I love you..." Nicole then takes her final breath as she is held through her final moments. Jennifer Charles wakes up with a scream, the blankets feel suffocating, as they struggle to get out they fall off the bed and onto the floor with a 'thud' struggling against the blankets and curls themself up in a corner. The noise alerted Nicole from downstairs as she walks up and opens the bedroom door... "JC I heard a loud thud...." Nicole looks into the room and seeing her partner in a state, walking over to them and crouching down onto the floor, taking off her flannel, setting it on the floor and pulling the shaking JC close to her. Nicole is not normally one for much physical touch, but when it comes to her partner, it is allowed. Pulling JC closer to her, she starts humming a bit, using her flannel and placing it over JC as somewhat of a blanket of covering, soft kisses are being placed along their forehead, temple, and cheeks. "Jennifer Charles...Hun..." Nicole says, a worry lacing her tone, as she runs her fingers through JC's hair. "H-he th-the u-uni-" JC can't even get a sentence out, however Nicole seems to understand the situation. "Jennifer Charles.... It's alright, I'm okay, Cyrus is okay, Bob is okay...we are all okay..it's just a dream babe.." JC is starting to realize they are okay, as their breathing slows a bit, reaching their hands up to grab onto the beautiful witch by her. Nicole's braided hair is more frizzy than usual, as she needs to re-do them, but Jennifer Charles does not mind it much, it gives them comfort. Eventually Jennifer Charles calms themself enough to hug Nicole properly, as she picks JC up, and carried them back to her bed, and snuggling up to them. "Thank you...Nicole...." "Of course JC.." "I love you babe.." "Love you too.." Eventually both fall asleep in eachothers arms.

"Violet, your hands shaking." A worried tone woven into her young ward's voice. Lifting her hand, she did in fact see, Cyrus was right, her hand was indeed shaking.

"Well, that's a decided improvement. Last time I spoke to him I vomited. Lets go." Bob tried to stand, however her legs and body decided to give out on her, causing her to fall to the ground, still frazzled from the previous conversation. Cyrus does not hesitate and walks over Bob, being slower than normal, as to not cause her to panic more, or make it worse. Crouching next to her and pulling her into a hug.

"Violet, It's alright, I get it, well not really but still" He has given up on formalities now and the fact others are in the room, instead focusing on his boss, but right now, she was not his boss, but his friend.

"Cyrus, I'm fine, truely" Her body language gave that away though,as she was still a bit shaken up. But Cyrus knows better, standing up and steaming a cup of milk and fairy dust, walking it back to her and handing her the cup.

"Drink.." He coaxed. She did drink the milk, taking deep breaths as her body stopped shaking .

"Thank you, Cyrus." She stands and helps Cyrus to his feet as well.

"Now, let's go get our baker back, before Nicole kills all of us." Cuyrus cracked the joke, well partial joke, as Nicole would be pissy soon.

That causes Bob to chuckle, and crack a smile.

"Let's"
Violet may hate her family, but she has a new family now, not one by blood, but one by choice, and no matter what happens, if she has them with her, she knows she will be perfectly happy.
