The Mysterious Shadows

Who are you?

(Princess) Ashley's POV:

Looking at the new girl on the ground, she began to get a bad headache. Looking around, she saw someone walking in the distance, away from the village. Almost falling over, she grabbed onto the nearest person she could reach, which happened to be Jinxx. He helped her stand upright, being that they were almost the same size, but she was a little smaller. Ashley looked at her worridly, picking her small frame up and holding her in his arms. She smiled softly, looking into his eyes which seemed like the perfect shade of brown. She softly bit her lip and a light red blush formed on her face. She jumped a little as she was snapped out of her little trance "Alright, we need to get her a doctor. I don't know where she's coming from, but station two of the Wild ones to be guarding her at any time. This might be one of F.E.A.R.'s tricks" Andy said to Jinxx, who nodded and started working on what he was asked to do. "Andy, am I free to go?" Ashley asked, earning a shit-eating grin from Andy "Yes, lovebirds. Go ahead" He said teasingly, making her wonder what was to happen. 'It's like he knows something that I don't.... And I don't like it... What if Ashley's breaking up with me and it's all a game between them? ....No, it couldn't be..... Right? Ashley loves me, I need to stop worrying.' She thought to herself, then putting her arms around his neck as he carried her. She would be out of the cast on her leg in less than a week, and she was excited to finally be rid of it.

Ashley's POV:

He looked down at the girl, puzzled as to where she came from. As he was preoccupied, he saw his love cling to his friend for balance, the sand being hard to walk on in a cast. He grinned a bit and picked her up, looking down almost immediately into her sparkling blue eyes, smiling at how lucky he got. Her pale face was glowing in the light and she looked like an angel... Well, a fallen angel, that is. He heard Andy's voice and snapped his head up to see what his friend had to say. "Alright, we need to get her a doctor. I don't know where she's coming from, but station two of the Wild ones to be guarding her at any time. This might be one of F.E.A.R.'s tricks" Andy said to Jinxx, who nodded and started working on what he was asked to do. "Andy, am I free to go?" He asked, earning a shit-eating grin from Andy "Yes, lovebirds. Go ahead" Andy said teasingly, making him mentally cuss his friend out, hoping she didn't think anything of it. He smiled as she put her arms around his neck and he carried her until he reached the spot in which he had set up earlier when he went out. It took them quite a while to get there and the princess was carefully watching where they were going. "Are you alright, my love?" he asked her and she nodded "I guess I'm still just a little jumpy from the F.E.A.R. base. It's kind of scaring me that I don't know where we're going" she admitted honestly, looking up at him and tightening her grip on him "I thought I saw him today and my head started to hurt really bad, I don't know why. It's kind of like something is there, but I can't remember it. It's been bugging me since." she replied honestly, him tightening his grip on her a bit "I won't ever let anything happen to you again, I swear it." he said, arriving at a stable and bringing out a black horse and saddling it, looking at her "Ever ridden a horse before?" he asked and watched her shake her head "I was always an inside kid..." she replied, biting her lip. He held his hand out to her and she took it after a moment and he helped her up, before getting on. She was in the front and he ran a hand down her back slowly, making her shiver a bit and then took the reins , guiding the horse towards where he was taking her. He had come and gotten everything together earlier that day, he needed this night to be absolutely perfect. //A/N I don't care if you're just like "Da fuck? where'd all this shit come from?" My imagination and fantasies.// After riding for about two hours, he puts a bandana over his princess' eyes "It's a surprise" He whispers into her ear, making her face turn a light pink and for a shiver to run down her back. She nodded softly and he grinned. After about another 30 minutes of the girl complaining, they finally reached their destination. He got off the horse and helped her off, taking off the blindfold and smiling as she looked around in awe. It was a spot he had found when he got lost as a kid. Their was a lake and a cabin right next to it. As she was looking around, he took the stuff he had secretly brought inside, quickly setting up and sweeping her off her feet, taking her inside. It was a beautiful cabin, candles set up along the walls for light. He set her down inside and lightly kissed her neck, making her shudder with the new sensation. She hobbled herself around, exploring, until she found the dining area and her breath was taken away. At the middle of the table, black and red roses, the pedals spelling out 'Will you marry me?'. She turned around and looked at him, one one knee with a velvet box in his hand, it open to show the ring that he had picked out for her. He hoped that she would absolutely love it, as much as he had, when he first saw it. He knew it was a perfect engagement ring, just the right amount of umph to show that she was claimed by the Deviant. "So?" he asked hopefully.

(Princess) Ashley's POV:

As she hobbled around, she couldn't help but think about how beautiful the cabin was. She explored until she found the dining area and saw roses. In the middle of the table, the words were spelled out with pedals of other, unseen, most likely bear roses. 'Will you marry me?' She turned around to see her love, her deviant, her man and saw him, her mouth now gaping open and tears stinging at her eyes. "So....?" he asked as he looked at her, hopefully. She started to nod, slowly, at first, as if she didn't believe it, but then faster, tears running down her face as she hugged him "Yes, yes. A million times over, yes."
