nobody can hold me down

Toulouse watched her as they arrived back at the palace with an amused grin on his face. He wouldn’t have thrown her over his shoulder anyway now that he had known she was pregnant. They’d have to be more careful now, though he knew that she wouldn’t want to be treated like a china doll, either. He could still be a bit rough with her while being safe at the same time. Before he could answer her she was hurrying away, and all it took was the count of three on Toulouse’s part before he hurried after her. One… two… three… He figured the least he could do was give her a head start. 

He caught up to her just as she was about to enter their room. Scooping her up in his arms, he held her tightly, opening the door with his free and and carrying her inside. “Tell me again how you plan on getting your way?” The blond teased, closing the door behind them and letting her down slowly.

“How I always get my way.” Claire looked up at him with an innocent expression, batting her eyelashes. He set her down and she set her hands on his waist, pulling him further into the room. “How would you like to celebrate?” She asked, finally smirking and letting him go. Claire sat down on the bed, kicking her heels off and laying back. “I have some ideas, but I’d rather hear yours.”

“Claire, it is not intruding if I’m inviting you in.”

“Oh, right. I don’t know how these things work...how are things with you and Teddy?”

“Would you like to sit for tea and have a talk?”

“If you have time. I don’t want to intrude on you more than my family already has.” 

[clairexlegxme]

“Because I need a friend, and I think you’re the only one I’ve got.”

“Yeah, something like that.” William didn’t want to get into it now, as they needed to focus on getting out of the house. “What do you mean, he knew about her? What does he know?” At the least he wasn’t aware that Emily is pregnant, so with that, Will felt a bit better. “He’s always wanted to go after Elizabeth… that’s never changed.” Even admitting that made his stomach turn. “Well, the throne may not be my brothers to steal anymore…” The words had just sort of slipped from his mouth, not thinking about them much. Once they were out of that awful house, Will hurried them back toward the palace. “You’ve been staying there already, haven’t you? I’ll give them my word and tell them you mean no harm. We don’t have any other options at the moment.”

“He knew that Elizabeth is pregnant.” Claire wasn’t sure how Anthony had figured that out, she was fairly sure he had cornered Elizabeth herself. “Why Elizabeth? Wait, Bennett might not take the throne?” The last they’d talked, he was sort of considering not taking it, but it had been a while. She didn’t think he was serious. “Well, yes, I live with my fiancé, but that doesn’t mean-- nobody there knows my last name, yet.” And once they did, she was afraid she’d be kicked out, or locked up, and separated from Toulouse. But maybe Will had more pull than she realized. “Can’t I heal at home? Isn’t there someone who knows medicine around here?”

“Well that makes sense… the note I got was from a woman. And from the sound of it, your brother isn’t here anymore.” She seemed angry, in the letter, and William couldn’t really blame her if Anthony and her had anything between them, but he by no means felt bad for her since she was involved in this. “What did he want to know?” The safety of his family was William’s number one priority, especially since Emily was now pregnant, and so was Elizabeth. “Toulouse…” He was fairly certain he had heard Claire mention the name before, though he wasn’t sure where things stood between him and her. “He won’t come back. We’re going back to the palace, to get you looked at.”

“She wrote you a note?” Claire groaned, hating that she had put any of them in danger. Her brother was so angry, and most of it was because of their father, not because of Will or anyone else. “He told me to tell him anything I knew about you, he already knew about Emily. He didn’t know she’s pregnant...” And Claire hadn’t told him either, but she wasn’t sure how much William trusted her. “And he asked about Elizabeth. I think he wanted to go after her, and then something about stealing the throne from your brother.” Things didn’t work that way, but Anthony never had been the brightest. “The palace? We can’t!” She struggled against him, panicking slightly but giving in when she realized how much pain she was in. “My last name. I’m not supposed to be there.”

When Claire stated she wasn’t sure how fast she could move, it was clear from that and the fact that he had watched her try to stand, that he would have to help her. She was in no position to walk herself back. “Then just trust that I can move faster.” He wasted no time trying to persuade her into letting him help, and instead picked her up, and carried her to the stairs. “Can you tell me anything about why you’re here? Who did it? When it happened?” he asked, as he hurried them up the stairs cautiously.

Claire winced when Will picked her up, but didn’t argue. She always did when Toulouse did, but obviously this was different...”Toulouse.” Her breath caught in her throat realizing he didn’t know where she was. Nodding slightly, she rested her head on his shoulder as he carried her up the stairs. “My brother,” she murmured. “Anthony. And this woman. He wanted to know things about you and Elizabeth and Bennett.” And she had said nothing, so that landed her in the state she was currently in, but at least she had held her ground. “A few days ago, I don’t know. You’d have to ask Toulouse--” He would know when she had left, and now it all seemed like a giant fog to her. “Where are we going? What if he comes back?”

“You shouldn’t be asking me questions, just answering mine.” There was no time to explain what he was doing there, and really it should have been obvious. He was rescuing her. “If it were a trap then that’s all the more reason to cooperate with me, so we can leave quickly,” he pointed out, chuckling softly. He was able to pry the chains free, hoisting her to her feet. “Come on, we have to leave now.”

Claire would have argued if she had the strength, but she really didn’t. She got to her feet, shaky at first, almost stumbling before catching herself. “I don’t know how fast I can move,” she murmured. It had been too long since she’d eaten or even had water, and she was sore from being on the ground for so long. That and her head was banging from whenever it was Zurie had hit her. Still, they had to leave, he was right, and she attempted to move towards the stairs.

Will wasn’t sure what to really expect and he could only hope that Claire was still there, and by herself. He stopped moving long enough to hear faint metal sounds clanging around, and tried to follow the echo as it filled the house. “Claire?” He called again, hoping that if it was her, she would maybe do it again. Though it really didn’t take too much longer to find her. “Oh no…. Claire! What happened?” He rushed to her, trying to work on the chains first.

Claire didn’t do anything, even after hearing him call her name a second time. She was too tired, it would have been easier to just fall asleep. Whoever it was, they could find her later...her eyes fluttered open when the voice got closer and started moving the chains attached to her hands and ankles, blinking until the familiar face came into view. “William? What are you doing here?” She groaned and closed her eyes again. “You shouldn’t be here, it’s not safe. It’s probably a trap for you. Go before they come back.”

Upon receiving that note, William knew that it was important that he find Claire quickly, wherever she could have been hiding. Not knowing where her weasel of a brother would have been staying, and thus, keeping her, it took a lot of searching and asking around to even get a lead. Eventually he did manage to find the house, breaking into it and searching for her. While he knew that it could have easily been a trap, William felt confident that he would have been able to take on anyone who could have been there to lure him in, even her brother himself. Sword drawn, he entered the house, calling her name. “Claire?”

Claire barely moved upon hearing her name, having been too weak to move and she’d been knocked out. When she realized someone was there, she got scared, maybe Zurie had come back? But the voice was more familiar, and she tried to move the chains and bang them against the concrete ground, hoping that would make enough noise for whoever it was to find her. She groaned in pain and closed her eyes, giving up again after a few minutes.

“It was both. A promise and a threat,” Claire smirked into the kiss, trying her best not to show how much she was enjoying it. How spontaneous he was with everything, she’d always loved that about him. She pursed her lips at him as he pulled away, narrowing her eyes playfully before turning around the way he had asked, her back leaning against his chest. Goosebumps formed on her arms as he kissed her neck and she shivered slightly, but moved her hair more out of the way for him. “Leave a mark,” she said quietly, smiling to herself. “We can’t have anyone thinking I’m not having the best sex of my life. Everyone should know better.”

Anthony shifted his glance, eyes rolling as Claire protested. “She did what was necessary, how else would you have come?” He knew not in peace, his sister would have more likely fought until the end. “No, I know that. Mhm.” Zurie had made an excellent point. Taking a step forward, his eyes shifted downwards towards Claire’s hand. Without a second thought, he grabbed it and made an attempt to take the ring off. “Engaged, are you? To one of these little royals? How adorable, you think you can build a new life here. I am sure he knows of you indiscretions, maybe we will have to pay him a visit. What’s his name?”

“Could have asked,” Claire mumbled. She would have fought, but at least it would have been a fair fight. “Don’t you dare--” she pulled her hand away, or attempted to, though Anthony was much stronger than her. “First of all, he’s not royal. Secondly, he knows my indiscretions. I’m not giving you his name, you’ll have to kill me first.” Her eyes moved up to meet his and she attempted to stand. “Have you ever stopped to think why we are going after the Beast family? This isn’t even our fight.”

Zurie stood a few steps away from Anthony, letting him take the lead on everything. It was his sister, after all. She got little joy out of torturing the girl unless it was what he wanted, but when she mentioned she would need to be killed first, she couldn’t help the smirk on her red lips. “Watch your mouth or that can easily be arranged.” Anthony was actually the only reason Claire was alive.

“That’s the point,” Claire looked up at him and smirked softly, kissing along his hip bone and nipping at his skin lightly. “How much do you want me, though?” She didn’t give him a second to answer, taking him in her mouth and continuing to tease him even more than before, slowing down after a minute. Her hands slid up his chest as she stood, trying to keep her balance. “Throw me over your shoulder again, and that’s what happens,” she whispered to him, raising her brows at him as she pulled away only to crash her lips to his.
