~He gave himself up to save her~

He made the wrong choice now he had to pay the price.

√√√√√√√√

Careful little princess, careful little boy what you choose, for to consent, is to lose.

The dragon's mouth is wide, filled with bones. It reeks of death and human flesh.

With gold and diamond, he lures you in. 

He has beady pearls-flames for eyes, 

And like a sheep to the slaughter, you're served on a platter.

He never gets enough; for like a lion, he goes about seeking whom to devour—his sole desire.

So children, run, keep your concession, 

Or ye might be next. Ye have been warned.

Remember this tale...the serpent never sleeps.

The Concession

"Hope, we were just talking," William assured her. 


"I can see that." Hope looked between the two men. 


"I know you've been very busy taking care of him and that is great but I don't want you wearing yourself out." 


"That's so thoughtful of you and I don't normally stay over, usually," she looked at Will with a slight blush. 


"I really did enjoy your company last night. Seeing you and holding you again-" William said with a slight blush. 


"Holding?" Seth looked at Will subtly. 


"Stop it, Will, nothing happened. You're going to give Seth the wrong idea." Hope chuckled nervously. Her face became redder than chilly pepper. 


"That kiss wasn't nothing." William smiled teasingly. 


Seth's usually calm and collected demeanour almost cracked but he only exhaled and pinched the bridge of his nose.
