Kingdom Keepers- Twisted Love

Twisted Love | Chapter One | { Kingdom Keepers }

The heat was rising up in my room. It was like the sun lived in my room. Why at this hour as well, the one hour I'm trying to get ready? I straightened my hair and turned towards the mirror, starring at my dress. My soft red lips added more color to my plain dress. Finally I was ready, and I walked to my car, starting it, slowly pulling out of the driveway. It took about fifteen minutes to reach my destination. I walked to the door, knocking lightly. A handsome man opened the door, brown hair, green eyes, a beautiful smile lit his face. He took my arm while kissing my cheek.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't pick you up." He said, blushing. "So I'll drive." He took the keys out of my hand and opened the door for me. I smiled as I got in. Moments later, he sat across from me, admiring the sight. I told him to drive, and he did. Most of the way we sat in silence. Today was the day I had to tell him the truth, how I felt. I loved him madly, and couldn't help but stare at him. But I was being forced to tell him a lie, or else, they'd kill him. I know what they can do. I've seen it with my own eyes. We arrived at the restaurant, and he got up to open the door for me. We walked into a room where it was reserved for only us. Sitting across from each other, we store until I had to break the silence.

"You look... Gorgeous." I smirked. He did as well.

"It's not everyday a guy gets that compliment."

"So enjoy it." I laughed lightly. So did he, then we both looked at each other serious.

"Why are we here, Amanda?" Finn asked, curious. It was four days after I stopped dating him and broke his heart.

"Because I miss you." I leaned in closer to him. "But you know we can't..." I stopped talking as if a rock completely got stuck down my throat.
"But why?" He was so anxious to know why she left him. He was getting incredibly close to her lips.

"Because..." It was like she couldn't speak of it. Finn leaned back in his chair, biting his lip. He was trying to prevent himself from kissing her.

"I won't be mad at you, Amanda." He was soft with his words. Amanda also leaned back in her chair, only her back didn't quite reach the chair's back.

Finn was now nineteen, Amanda, twenty. It was weird to look back on all the years we spent together. Since day one when I first met Finn. He was twelve, and I was thirteen. But those years did happen, and those years did fly by fast.

"I've got to go." I stood up walking towards the exit. Finn chased after me, grabbing my arm tightly.

"Amanda." He looked me in the eye. "Please stay." We both looked hurt.
"I'm sorry Finn." I paused for a moment, then I turned around to start walking again. "I'm asked not to tell." She couldn't help but tell the truth. Finn bit his lip harder now.

Philby rushed to get his book bag that he had forgotten in his room. He was going to be late for class, and Mr. Shepherd wasn't that kind. Since college started, he was more busy then ever. He rushed out to his car, starting it. Finally, he was speeding down the road, not paying attention. Lucky for him, he didn't kill himself. Once there, he got out of his car and walked to his class. But when he arrived, no one was in there. He looked puzzled. Until he heard a voice that sounded beautiful. Like angels singing, but softly.

"Hey red head." Philby turned around to see Willa. She had a tank top on with a skirt, and her hair was wavy. It was like she wasn't herself. She made her way towards Philby, who was thinking about Willa. She finally snapped him out of it by talking again.

"Come to study?" She placed her books on a desk. "Yea, me too. Saturday's are the best to come and study." Philby shook his head and repeated her.

"Saturday?" He asked.

"Well hello to you too." Willa was very sensitive and could be hurt very easily.
