The forgotten kingdom

Chapter 5

Donovan was sitting on the sofa reading when Luche stumbled inside. She looked up at him.

"Baby maybe you should sit down or lay down while I make you some coffee."

She saw him sit down and she went into the kitchen. She had pulled out the cups when she heard a loud crash. She turned and ran into the living room to see Luche tearing the place apart. She took a step forward when he tossed a vase as it broke next to her, she felt a piece hit the side of her face.

She took a breath and calmed herself.

"Luche talk to me." He turned and glared at her.

"I failed them all. I couldn't save anyone." He yelled. She walked closer to him.

"Baby there was nothing you could do. I'm sure you tried your hardest."

Luche slammed his hand down on the glass table breaking it. She saw that it cut his arm pretty bad. She ran over to him and grabbed his arm. She wasn't ready for what he did next. Luche grabbed her neck and slammed her against the wall. She stays still focusing on healing his arm.

"Luche come back to me baby. I'm here for you." She said it softly.

Luche woke up and groaned his head was killing him. He looked up when Donovan walked in with a cup and handed it to him. His eyes saw the bruises around her neck. He reached out and lightly touched it.

"You didn't mean to baby." She said. He dropped his head.

"Luche you weren't yourself. I don't blame you." He stood up.

"Luche stop." He turned to look at her.

"How can you not be mad at me. I fucking hurt you. I left bruises on your neck." She stood up and pulled him in close to her.

"As soon as you saw what you were doing you stopped. Luche you're going through a hard time by being back here. It is my fault you're here."

He looked down at her and saw her tears.

"It's not your fault sweetheart. You were in danger. I would have gone anywhere if it meant saving you." He saw a bandage on his arm. She saw him looking at it.

"You slammed your hand through the glass table and cut your arm pretty bad. I umm... healed it as best as I could." He blinked and looked at her in shock.

"You can heal people?" she dropped her head.

"Yes, but it takes a toll on me. I can heal others but not myself." He looked at her closely and realized she had dark circles under her eyes and seem warn out.

"Lay down then. I will go clean up and make breakfast." She placed her hand on his arm.

"I already cleaned everything up."

Picking her up he laid her in bed.

"What have I done to deserve you?" he asked as he held her close to him.

"Luche I can't say I understand what you're going through. I have never gone back home, but I can promise you that I will be by your side to help you past this."

He kissed her head and they laid there in each other's arms. She woke up to Luche tossing and turning in his sleep. She tried to wake him up.

He sat up real fast and jumped out of bed.

"Luche come sit down and talk to me." She spoke softly so as to help calm him. He looked over at her.

"No, I need to leave for a minute, don't worry I won't go to a bar." He grabbed his shoes and walked out to the cliff behind his house. He sat there as his tears fell.
