Help! My Fictional Knight Is Real?!
Chapter 12
[Scene: Seren’s Guest Room – A Simple Task Becomes a Nightmare]
Seren leads Kieran into the guest room, praying that putting him to bed will be easier than everything else today.
Seren wagner (fl)
(gesturing to the bed) Alright. Sleep.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(staring at the bed like it just insulted his ancestors): …This is suspiciously soft 🧐
Seren wagner (fl)
(already done)Yes, Kieran. That’s called a mattress. You sleep on it
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(crossing his arms) No. I shall rest on the floor.
Seren wagner (fl)
You absolutely will not.
[Kieran pokes the mattress. It bounces slightly.]
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(offended) It moves. IT MOVES.
Seren wagner (fl)
IT’S A BED, KIERAN.
Rina Wagner (fl sis)
(from her room, barely awake)Is he fighting the furniture now?
lena warner (fl bff)
(muffled laughter) This is better than Netflix.
Kieran finally sits on the bed, looking deeply betrayed.
Seren wagner (fl)
(gritted teeth) Lie down. Close your eyes. Go to sleep.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(slowly lying back, still wary) …This feels unnatural.
[Silence. Finally, peace.]
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(sitting up again) Wait. Where is my sword?
Seren wagner (fl)
You don’t need it.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
What if we are attacked in the night?
Seren wagner (fl)
Who do you think is going to attack us?
Kieran Valtor (ml)
The… the glowing box?🧐
Seren wagner (fl)
THE TV IS NOT YOUR ENEMY 😭
Seren wagner (fl)
(tired) Are you asleep now?
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(whispering)This pillow is too soft 😑
Seren wagner (fl)
I SWEAR TO GOD, KIERAN— 😵💫
💀 Rina & Lena (cackling in the next room): “Best. Night. Ever.”
[Scene: Seren’s House– 6:59 AM]
After much struggle, Kieran finally fell asleep, sprawled dramatically on the bed like a fallen warrior. All is peaceful… until—
⏰ BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(bolting upright, eyes wide) WE ARE UNDER ATTACK.😵
Seren wagner (fl)
(groggy, barely awake) Oh my god🙂
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(grabbing the pillow, throwing it across the room) WHO DARES SOUND THE WAR HORN? SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!
⏰ Alarm Clock (still beeping): BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(glaring at the alarm clock like it just declared war on his bloodline) …The cursed artifact mocks me.
[Seren’s brain catches up with reality. Too late.]
Seren wagner (fl)
(suddenly wide awake) WAIT, KIERAN, DON’T—
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(launching himself at the alarm clock, grabbing it like a grenade) YOU SHALL TROUBLE THIS HOUSEHOLD NO MORE.
Seren wagner (fl)
(staring at the remains of her alarm clock) …I hate you 😭
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(crossing his arms proudly) Fear not, Seren. The enemy has been vanquished 😌
[Lena and Rina stumble into the room, still half-asleep.]
lena warner (fl bff)
…Why does it sound like someone was murdered?
Rina Wagner (fl sis)
(seeing the destroyed clock) Kieran, did you just duel an alarm clock?🤣
Seren wagner (fl)
No, he executed it 🙂
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(smug) A small price to pay for peace😎
Seren wagner (fl)
IT WAS A CLOCK, NOT A DEMON
[Lena leans against the doorframe, rubbing her eyes.]
Rina Wagner (fl sis)
…So, uh… does this mean we get to sleep in?
Seren wagner (fl)
(holding up a slipper threateningly) EVERYONE UP. NOW.
lena warner (fl bff)
(wheezing) I love mornings here 😂
