Reece

~~

The day after Thoma and the others came to see me about my Little Bunny, I had absolutely nothing to do except wait for Trevor to arrive with those twins. I knew that he was having a hard time getting them here, but that didn't matter to me at all. All I knew was that they were late and they were making all of this take that much longer. I wanted them to help me. I wanted them to help my Little Bunny.

I was sitting down at dinner with the children. Reagan and Rika, who were usually so animated during dinner as they regaled us with their tales of the day, were sitting there silently just pushing their food around their plates. Talia was likewise quiet, and I could tell that she had been crying again. I didn't want them to go through this anymore. I wanted them to have their mother back. I wanted them to feel like she was here with them once again.

While I was thinking those thoughts, I swear I heard my Little Bunny's voice. It was barely there, like it was coming from a really bad speaker that was in a room across the house. It was hard to hear her but I swear she yelled all of our names.

"REECE! REAGAN! RIKA! TALIA!

"

I apparently wasn't the only one that had heard her. The moment that my Little Bunny's voice called out to all of us, I watched Reagan and Rika's head snap up and start looking around. There was hope in their eyes. It was almost like they were expecting to see her running through the door any minute from now.

"Mommy isn't here.

" Talia didn't look up from her plate.

"Don't look for her like that.

" I was just about to ask her to clarify, but there was a knock on the door and Gabriel came in almost immediately.

"King Reece, Sir. King Trevor is here to see you. He has brought some visitors to meet with you.

" I could tell that Gabriel was trying to remain calm and professional, but he was eager and excited to learn what was about to happen.

"Yes, of course.

" I wiped my mouth on the napkin that I had been holding and rose from the table.

"I will be back to tell you all good night, please wait for me in your rooms later. I love you, all three of you.

" I tried my best to let them know that this was not a bad situation. We were just trying to help my Little Bunny and that meant that I needed to focus on her more than anything.

"Yes, Daddy.

" Talia was the first to answer.

"We will wait for you, Daddy.

" Rika added.

"I will keep them safe, Dad.

" Reagan nodded at me.

After that, I rushed from the room so that I could follow Gabriel to my bedroom where I would then wait for him to bring Trevor and the visitors to come see me and my Little Bunny. This was the time that I had been waiting for. This was the chance that I would get to see if we can bring my Little Bunny back from wherever she was.

I rushed up the stairs as quickly as I could and cleaned myself up. Then I was left waiting for Trevor to come in. I swear I felt like a five year old on Christmas eve. I just wanted to make the time move faster so I could get my present. Only in my case, my present was my wife waking up and coming back to me. I needed that. I needed her.

"King Reece, Sir, your visitors are here.

" Gabriel called out as he first knocked on then opened the door to my room. Man, I am glad that I changed the security to this floor so that they could ever get up here. That would suck if they were blocked out of here.

"Come in, Gabriel. And bring them with you.

" The door opened to permit the guests and I had to literally stop myself from craning my neck to get a better view of these twins that Trevor had brought to my house.

"Reece, thank you for having us and inviting us to your home.

" Trevor was starting the conversation by being polite and formal.

"As you know, I have brought some new acquaintances of mine. These are Chloe and Charlie Unger.

"

I didn't have to follow Trevor's gesture to find the twins that he was talking about. I was already looking at the two new people that I had never met. I had also gotten to my feet and was walking over to greet them. There were two very large people that were hidden in matching dark green cloaks. The cloaks hid most of their features until I got close enough to look at them in the face.

I was a little taken aback by their appearance. It wasn't what I would call normal, but I was guessing that this was why they had elected to stay locked up in their home in the mountains or whatever it was that he had said the other day.

"Welcome to my castle, it is nice to meet you.

" I stretched my hand out toward the man, Charlie, as I welcomed him to the castle.

I watched as the man tentatively reached out with his hand. It was covered in fur that was pure white and looked just like a bear. It wasn't just his hand either. His whole body seemed to be covered in fur since I could see it misshaping his clothes. The fur covered the sides of Charlie's face and even went up over the top of his head and over his very bear-like ears.

The fur and animalistic ears weren't the only things that were different about him. He had long, claw tipped fingers and his limbs seemed to be a little longer than normal. His face had a longer and larger snout shaped muzzle that seemed just like a bear. He didn't have fur on that muzzle nor his cheeks or anything like that. That looked like one of the only (visible) places that he didn't have fur.

Charlie's hands were strong, and felt like they would be lethal to a mortal. It was quite the site to see. Oh, and not to mention that this man was a little taller than Trevor. He was almost seven feet tall already.

His twin sister, Chloe, looked just like him, down to every last detail. Well, every detail aside from two. Where Charlie was white, Chloe was pure black. They looked like a yin yang symbol. With their contrasting colors. She was almost as tall as her brother was. She had the same shape to her animal ears and her snout. Almost everything was the same, except for the coloring. Also, Chloe seemed to be a little more feminine. Despite the shape of their features being identical, Chloe was softer and pretty than her brother was.

In truth, it was very hard to take my eyes off of these two very unique looking people.. There was just something about them that caught my eye and didn't let it go at all.
