Forbidden Love

Chapter 10

Arthur's Pov

I come out from the house after I asks Elise's mother where is she, I look around for her and finds a footstep up to the mountain and followed it.

I finally found Elise, a smile formed in my face then they slowly fade down as I not only seen Elise but with a Guy. Looking at him angrily, he might be a spy to distract Elise away from me.

I heard them talking about world out there and is cruel, killing each other out of anger and sometimes about their partner who is Jealous. And that is when I spoke.

"Yes, like how I am now" I said while looking at them both turned their heads and look at me.

"Arthur?" I heard elise said, While I keep looking at the guy who seemed scared. I slowly walk towards him then faster as I punched him in the face, making him fall in the ground.

I heard Elise screamed and tried to stop me as she held me from the back "stop! What are you doing!" I ignored her, and pushes her slightly, making her move back as I got the chance and got on top of the guy, choking him "who do you work for?" I said angrily.

The guy tried to held my hand back "I- i do not know!" And when I was about to ask him again this time Elise pushes me with all her strength, making me sit down on the ground.

I looked at Elise as she helped the guy stand up and caresses the black eye I gave to him, she look at me angrily.

"how could you do this!" . I look back at her angrily "don't you know that there is no other people living in this Island, except you and your mother? He might be a spy!" I said slightly raising my voice.

Elise held the guy's arm protectively "You're unbelievable." She said and drag the guy with her down from the mountain.

If she knew that I am a real Prince, then she'll understand that I have many enemies and spies around the world.

Elise's Pov

I drag Leo with me back to the forest, I let him sit down on the rock and look at him worriedly "Stay here, I'll be right back" he nodded and waited.

Then minutes later I got back and bring a bucket of water from the river and a cloth, I sat down beside Leo and starts treating his wound. Making him hiss in pain.

I look at him regretfully "I am sorry, I shouldn't let him do that to you." I looked down then slowly Leo cups my cheek and look at me in the eyes, whispering "It's alright, It's not your fault" Leo said.

That's when I saw him leaning towards me, I closes my slowly then before our lips touch, someone interrupted us "Gotcha" then everything went black.

Arthur's Pov

I walked down the mountain, and through the forest as I finally arrived in the house that sounds quiet, something is wrong here.

"Arthur!" I turned around to see Elise and her mother tied up, I look at them in shock and was about to run towards them when..

"Long time no see, Arthur"

I turned around and saw my grandfather's enemy, Gabriel the 2nd satan

Gabriel chuckled darkly "I can hear your thoughts, dont be like that. Now be kind if you still want to see them alive". I looked at Elise and her mother as their mouth tied up with a cloth, making them silent.

"You let them go or I'll-" Gabriel cutted me off "or what, Your going to do what your grandfather did? You think imprisoning me in that big hole is a good idea, tis' not and I am going to take back what your family had taken away from me".

I look at Gabriel angrily "If you want your revenge then do it, just let them go. They are innocent" I replied.

Gabriel chuckled darkly "I know now, how useful they are for you" Then I look at Gabriel as he signal his men and take Elise and her mother away from here to the ship. I start to run towards them then Gabriel stopped me with his sword infront of me.

"Fight me" Gabriel said, I glare at him "I do not want to fight" he looked a little surprised "oh, is it because of that woman? Now you feel my pain, fight me or she die"

I glare at him angrily and grab my sword, pointing it at him "I'll fight"

Elise Pov

Someone placed us in the cell with my mother and remove the cloth in our mouth, I quickly stand up and look at mother in the other side of the cell "mother! Are you alright, I'm sorry I started all of this. I- i shouldn't have-"

Mother interrupted me "no no, don't blame yourself. I am okay" mom reassured me

I shake my head, and tears in my eyes falling down on my cheek "No, no it's all my fault! I shouldn't put you in this situation, I'm so sorry mother"

"Child, don't blame yourself. You know the first time I saw Arthur, I feel like your Journey has begun. Its a good thing child but I just want you to be safe for me, okay?" I nodded my head.

"Mom, I promised I'll bring our life back in the farm" I said with tears more in my eyes. "Elise, listen I want you to escape. I am old enough and I want you to live your life and forget about me".

I look at mother angrily "mother! Don't say that, dont ever say that!" I said, covering my ears, not listening. I feel so hurt, mom wanted me to leave without her.

Hours passed. I woke up as I heard unlocking noises, Opening my eyes to see Leo unlocking my cell, I whispered yell "what are you doing here!" I said.

Leo looked at me and succesfully opening my cell "I want you to follow what I will say" I shake my head. "I don't want to listen to you anymore, traitor" I said while looking away from him and get back to my sleep.

Leo grab me by the arm but carefully "cant you just listen to me one more time? I dont want you dead because I love you!" I widened my eyes "no, you lied to me"

He shakes his head and held my both hands "After so many years, no one cared for me but you." He said looking at me in the eyes which I clearly saw love

I shook my head and tries to answer with my shaky voice, still not believing it. "Tell me later, but we have no time now, let's go" Leo said grabbing my hands then i stopped him, making him frown.

"M-mother, help my mother too please" I said hopefully, tears in my eyes. He nodded and quickly opens the cell of mother, I wake her up "mother, please let's go!"

Mother woke up and cups my cheek "Elise what-" I cutted her off "mother, there is no time. I never introduce you to Leo but later, We have no time come on!" I said holding her up, she looks confused and just nodded.

We climbed on the small boat placed in the side of the ship, Leo said "My real name is Lonard if you want to know" I looked at him while quickly holding the paddle in my hand, this is heavy.

"Of course I want to know! Come on climb on!" I said hurriedly, feeling worry and fear all of a sudden I heard a blade sound, I slowly turned my head and I widened my eyes as I saw a sword pierced through Leo's chest.

No words coming out of my lips, looking up to Leo slowly as he mumbled, while looking at me sadly, blood coming out from his lips "I love you, Elise and I always will" then he grab a small knife quickly cutting the rope. Making the boat i am in fall down to the waters.

"Leo No!!" I shout, trying to bring the boat back to the ship by paddling, tears in my eyes as I saw someone thrusting its blade into Leo's chest again, and hearing another person yell that we escaped, thats when Leo slowly fell down. My mother held me back "no no! Leo!" I cried loudly, the boat start to go far away from the ship, making the ship in my sight fade away.

I keep crying for hours. tears falling into my eyes while mother keep holding me "he was a great man, A hero. though you never introduce me to him, I can see how he clearly loves you" mom said, cheering me up.

While I just look at the ocean with no emotion, how could Leo save me. I feel nothing and just keep looking the waters blankly.

After 2 days in the small boat, mom and I feel tired. Then I hear her say "theres a land". My eyes getting blurry. Then later I slightly woke up to hear someone "look everything is going to be fine miss"

Then everything went black again.
