Desiree had missed seeing her family so much. Practicing hunting and practically living outside made her miss her siblings even more, especially her sisters. Seeing Daphne made her feel ten times safer.

“Surprise, little sister,” she said as she hugged her sister back and took the rose from her. “I missed you too. Are you doing okay?”

“Yes, yes, I’m doing fine!” Daphne said, giggling incredulously. “I just can’t believe you’re here!”

Though a year younger than Desiree, Daphne stood a few inches taller than her older sister, and she looked down at her with sparkling, excited eyes.

“What were you doing before all of this,” she said this gesturing wildly at the strange world around them, “happened?”

“No, that’s okay.” she reassured her. “I guess I’m just..supery jumpy or something.” she confessed.

daphbeaumont:

“I don’t blame you,” Daphne said with a light chuckle. “After this strange turn of events, I’d expect we’re all a bit on edge.”

I’ll be away from the computer all day today, but I promise I’ll catch up with replies once I get back!!

Looking at her sister, Des let out a giggle and took the rose. “It’s very beautiful,merci dear soeur. I’ll take it.”

Daphne’s hands trembled as her dark orbs blinking rapidly. Days of wandering around this accursed town must have made her less observant. She knew not the girl in front of her wasn’t a stranger at all!

“Des!” Daphne shrieked in excitement grasping her sister in a tight hug. “I missed you so much!”

Delaney smiled glad to see her more chipper sister back to her old self. She looked around trying to see if she could find something that looked like an inn.

“Well let’s go find an in or something, somewhere we can sit and figure out what to do next.” She smiled pointing down the road, “Let’s try over there.”

daphbeaumont

The two sisters entered a cozy looking inn doubling as a restaurant for wandering passerby. A woman who called herself a waitress (a profession most likely similar to Lumiere’s, their maître d' back home) inquired if they would like a table, and Daphne timidly accepted. The woman handed the the girls two menus with a selection of entrees and assured the two she’d be right back.

Sipping on a complementary ice water, Daphne gazed at her sister, eye brimming with questions. “What were you doing before this ‘curse’ took us here?”

“Reading?  Movies?  But why would I stay inside and do those things on such a perfect day!  If I can’t surf…  Ooh, I could go swimming, or biking, the possibilities are endless!”

daphbeaumont:

“Now that’s the spirit!” Daphne chuckled. “I take it you grew up spending much of your time outdoors?”

[notastrappingboy-blog]

“You know, I totally understand why Belle didn’t want my father. I wouldn’t want someone to force themselves at me either.”

[daphbeaumont-blog]

At the mention of the woman she missed the most, Daphne raised her head towards the brunette opposite her. 

“Belle? You know my mother?”

Delaney nodded glad to hear her sister wasn’t hurt. She took a deep breath knowing that no matter how freaked out she was she had to be brave for her sister.

Delaney ran her hand through her hair and smiled a little. “I guess we could try and find a place to sleep, and then go exploring if you’d like.”

daphbeaumont

Daphne chuckled softly and gave her sister a beaming smile. No matter how dire the situation seemed, she could always count on her Lanie to make everything all right. Ever since she was a little girl, Delaney pushed her to be courageous and adventurous, to reach her fullest potential. 

“I’d like that,” Daphne said firmly, gripping her sister’s hand. “Where should we  go first?”

[daphbeaumont-blog]

“What a lovely rose!” Daphne exclaimed, thumb brushing over the flower’s crimson petals. 

She spied the stranger eyeing the bloom in her hands, and she held it towards them with a beaming smile on her face.

“Would you like it, mon amie?”

Daniel hadn’t expected to be walking the street at the same time that his sister had showed up in this strange world. Yet, fate certainly had a way of working things out so perfectly. Once he he head heard the sound of his youngest sister crying, the sound had broke his heart. He quickly rushed to her side and swept her into a comforting hug. “It’s alright, It’s just me.” he said softly.

daphbeaumont

Feeling a pair of strong arms wrap around her, Daphne was prepared to let out a panicked shriek. But then her brother’s soothing baritone assured her everything would be all right and overjoyed tears began to spill down her face.

“Daniel! You found me!” she cried, sighing with relief. 

She wrapped her small arms around his muscular frame and buried her face into his chest. Home is where the heart is, their mother would often tell them. It mattered not that they were dimensions away from Castle Beaumont, as long as they had each other, they would endure.

“How did you get to this place?” she questioned, looking up at him with innocent dark eyes.

Delaney held her sister in a tight hug. She was glad to have found her. She smiled as she pulled away taking a look at her, “Are you hurt?” She touched her sisters face and looked for scratches or bruises. “I know you’re scared but we’re here and we are together. I don’t know where Daniel is and I haven’t seen Mom or Dad. But you and me are gonna find them Daph ok? We’re together and we seem to be safe.”

daphbeaumont

Soothed at her sister’s comforting voice, Daphne wiped away her tears with the pad of her thumb. 

“Not hurt,” she reaffirmed gratefully. “Just a bit shaken is all.”

Together, that’s what Lanie had said. As long as they were together everything would be fine. And she knew her sister was right. 

Delaney had always been the brave one, willing to protect Daphne from any danger that crossed their path. Her big sister would always be there for her. With that thought in mine, Daphne breathed a sigh of relief. 

“What are we supposed to do now?”

“Well, well…” Leota cooed as she looked around the hall before looking down at herself. “What a delightful assortment of individuals we have here.” she murmured to herself. Her eyes rested on a someone, and she walked over to them. “Would you be delightful and explain to me where the nearest shop would be that I could buy incense or sage and such?”

[daphbeaumont-blog]

Daphne tried to avert eye contact with the raven woman stalking towards. She attempted to scurry away with the words is stranger danger alarmingly ringing in her ears. At the woman’s inquiry, Daphne whirled around and gazed into the woman’s piercing dark eyes.

“S-shop? I believe a couple blocks down. But I’m not sure if they sell in-incense or sage there,” Daphne stammered.

Rebekka looked over at the other girl and shrugged, “Uhm yea I suppose that would be ok.” Rebekka wasn’t used to people wanting to come sit with her, other than her family most people didn’t pay her much attention. She looked over at the girl and extended her hand. “I’m Rebekka Arendelle.”

daphbeaumont

The two wandered down the sidewalk of the town, regarding the shops they passed in comfortable amity. They passed several sweets shops, an animal shelter, and even a cozy looking restaurant.

“Arendelle you say? That name sounds familiar. Where is it you say you come from?” Daphne inquired curiously.

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand.  What do you mean there;s nowhere to surf?  There’s always somewhere to surf!  If I can’t surf then what else am I gonna do?  My life is practically over!”

[daphbeaumont-blog]

Daphne regarded the girl with an air of curiosity and confusion. She had never seen someone so passionate about an activity before. 

“I know things might seem strange right now, but we can do plenty of things to pass the time! Maybe you could try reading in the library or watching a moving picture?”

stormtrooperxena

It was already bad enough that Xena had suddenly appeared in some random galaxy and on an even more random planet, but to add to the pain with not allowing any weapons to defend herself? That crossed a major line. To make matters even worse, she seemed to have appeared in an extremely arcane world where things she loved like blasters didn’t even seem to exist and she was now at some sort of school.

All of this fueled Xena’s rage as she looked down to find a small brunette squeaking about something. One thing about it, the girl looked just as confused as she was, which was nice in a way. However, this presented Xena with the fact that she has zero social skills as she replied, “Uh, yeah…I guess so. I’m not really used to dank where I come from. Everything is cold and dry and mechanical.”

daphbeaumont

Cold, dry, mechanical? Daphne mused, amber orbs blinking in curiosity. What a horrid environment to grow up in!

If anything, Daphne was immensely grateful for the bright, warm palace she was brought up in. It made for happy, joyous memories and grand celebrations. She couldn’t imagine a life anywhere else than her beloved castle.

“And where exactly do you come from?” she queried.

Delaney had just woken up. She felt around her feeling only grass.  One second she had been in her bed after another argument with her parents, the next she was here. She sat up slowly as she remembered her siblings. She didn’t know where she was, did they come too.

She stood suddenly needing to find them. She saw someone in the grass in the distance laying there. She looked small enough to be Daphne. Delaney walked quickly trying to get there as fast as she could.

“Daph?” Delaney called out she smiled a little when she heard the voice of her sister. She ran and squatted next to her. “Hey, hey it’s me. Let’s get you up off the ground.” She reached for her sisters hand.

Hearing a rustle of grass behind her, Daphne whirled around in panic, fully expecting a villainous creature to launch out and attack her with its sickeningly sharp claws. Instead she was faced with the soft, cerulean orbs of her protector, her big sister. 

She desperately intertwined her fingers with her sister’s outstretched hand and pulled herself off the ground. With all her strength, Daphne wrapped her arms around the older girl, face nuzzling into her warm shoulder.

“Lanie, I’m so scared,” the younger of the princesses cried, fresh tears rolling down her cheeks. “What happened to us? Where’s Daniel, Mama, and Papa?”

“I just need to get away from all of these people and clear my head. My mother is probably so worried, I have to try and figure out how to get back, or at least where we are.”

daphbeaumont

Seeing her own fear reflected in the girl’s round, azure orbs, Daphne recalled to her mind her parents’ urging her to always have courage and to be kind to all she meets. For compassion, they said, is the most powerful force in the universe.

“Perhaps we could find someplace quiet together,” Daphne suggested, mustering up her courage. “So neither of us has to be alone.”

She gingerly stuck out her hand for a friendly handshake. “My name is Daphne Beaumont. What’s yours?”
