The Fog

Chapter 10

I woke up the next morning with Michael's arms wrapped around my waist and him laying on top of me. I blushed and decided to play with his hair as there was no way I could get him off of me without waking him up. He soon woke up and looked at me and smile. I smiled back at him, "morning handsome!" I said and watched as he blushed a little.

"Are you comfortable?" I asked him, teasing him a little.

"I am, I think I'll stay right here for the rest of the day," he said smirking. I blushed and looked away out to the forest. Michael took this opportunity to move up closer to my face. He took his hand, gently grabbed my chin and made me look at him.

"I wasn't done looking at that beautiful face of yours." And with that he pressed his lips against mine. I was confused at first but soon I relaxed into the kiss and kissed him back. He pulled away blushing and said, "sorry I wasn't thinking."

Blushing I replied, "don't be sorry I liked that." And pulled him in kissing him again. We had a little makeout session but stopped because one of my cuts opened back up. Michael bandaged me up and checked the rest of my wounds making sure they were still closed. I then got up and changed my shirt because the one I was wearing was all torn up. Michael came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"If it wasn't obvious, I really like you Elizabeth, and I want you to be mine." He told me resting his head on my shoulder.

I turned around in his arms and took his face in my hands, "Michael I really like you too, and I'd love to be yours." And without hesitation Michael leaned forward and connected our lips, while he picked me up and spun me around. I broke off our kiss and kissed his forehead before hugging his neck. He set me down and grabbed his things.

"As much as I wish we could stay here all day, we must leave. My father's fortress is very close and we can make it there by nightfall." Michael says turning to me.

"Then what are we waiting for let's go." I quickly grab my weapons and put on my holsters. Michael reaches his hand towards me and I grab it and we head off. As night nears we can see the outline of the fortress.

"We're here," Michael says to me with a determined look on his face. The joy and happiness from earlier was gone. I hold his hand tighter as we get nearer. I'm about to say something but before I could something snaps and we're shot up into the air. After a few seconds I realize that me and Michael were in a net in a tree. We're dangling in the tree for a few minutes when we see a figure below us.

"Ah my traitorous son has returned, and he brought a friend." The figure says to us. Me and Michael look at each other in horror, Davis had us trapped and we were at his Mercy. Michael held my hand as we looked down at his father.
