Kingdom of the fallen

Eight

Before I could say anything I was pulled behind the building, or cottage? I'm not sure what it was. My heart was beating so fast, I was so excited that I couldn't even say anything, I just hugged him. I hugged him so tight. Tears gathered in my eyes, but before they fell, the wiped them away.

"How are you alive? Are you ok?"

He gave a soft chuckle.

"How dare thy doubt me."

He said in a proud tone. I giggled as I kept staring into his eyes, as he did so in return. He placed his hand on my cheek, I was in heaven. I leaned into his touch, as it felt like he was getting closer. Moments passed as they felt like hours, I could feel his breath on my lips. The moment was ruined when a huge pop happened.

We both jumped until we realized it was only a wine bottle opening, with the cork going flying. We both laughed it off. A moment of silence passed.

"You haven't seen any of this before, have you?"

I shook my head in embarrassment, but instead of shame, he grabbed my hand and ran towards the crowd.

"Follow my lead."

I nodded. He placed one of my hands on his shoulder, still holding my other. While his free hand was on my waist. I smiled as my heart started to race more. We were so close. The music started to play as we started to dance. I pray that this wasn't a dream. Though I wouldn't be shocked If it was. We continued to dance for a couple hours, as after a bit he finally spoke.

"Would you like to see something beautiful?"

"I always do."

I responded. He chuckled as he took my hand, and dragged me out of the castle, from what looked like a back passage. After walking for a couple minutes, we were in some sort of field. With trees and flowers around, and the moon light shining down, I was amazed.

"it's perfect."

"Just like you"

I didn't have time to respond as he pulled me in, pressing his lips against mine. I let out a small gasp, as I melted into his touch. Now this was the best night of my life.
