Beauty for a Beast

chapter three

Noell

A few days passed since she learned about my secret and while we were away from the kingdom searching for herbs for Iridessa, she suddenly become ill, I knew that I couldn't take her to her kingdom so I took her to my kingdom.

I quickly shifted and flew back to my home while I held onto her now lifeless body, I wasn't sure if she could be helped but it was worth trying. I felt deeply concerned about her while I waited outside of the room she was in.

I kept pacing back and forth when I seen someone step out of the room she was in, quickly learning that she would get better with time and plenty of rest. I walked into the room and seen her laying on the bed while she slept peacefully.

A few days passed since I brought her here and I wasn't sure if the treatment worked or not but I seen her standing on the balcony.

Noell: it's good seeing you up princess...

Myrabella: I probably frightened you and I apologize for it.

Noell: I was a little worried about you.

Myrabella: so is this your home?

Noell: yes, would you like me to show you around?

Myrabella: I would be happy to explore the city but you should see your mother first.

Noell: we will see her while we look around the city, I promise.

After we walked throughout the city and checked on my mother, I took her to a spot that I would always visit before I left. I watched as she looked around and I noticed a few flowers growing nearby and picked one then handed it to her.

Myrabella: it's beautiful out here.

Noell: I used to come here alot as a child before I left home, that's my boat right there...

Myrabella: you must have been on so many adventures before you were taken to my kingdom.

Noell: just a few but when I turned eighteen I became what I am today.

Myrabella: does it hurt when you shift?

Noell: it did at first but now it doesn't.

I noticed that she had become a little bit nervous because we were alone in this place.

Noell: is everything okay princess?

Myrabella: yeah, I was just thinking about something. Do you think my dad is looking for me?

Noell: I'm sure he is, but I promise that you're safe here.

Myrabella: and what if someone seen you fly away with me? I don't want anything bad happening to you Noell...

Noell: hey, don't worry about me. My fate was sealed the minute your father captured me Myrabella...

Myrabella: I won't let anything or anyone hurt you...

Noell: you care that much about me?

Myrabella: yes, you brought me here to save me and I will repay that debt.

Noell: it was the least I could do for you since you got me out of those chains and the dungeon...

Myrabella: I didn't do that, my father was the one who got you out of there I just made a suggestion to him.

I placed my hand on hers after she laid her head against her knees and looked at me.

Noell: Myrabella will you...

Myrabella: you can tell me anything...

I looked into her eyes and it was like I seen my future, she and I were still together like we are now and I think she knew.

Noell: I should get you home where you belong.

I quickly stood up and walked towards the boat and got in then seen her quietly sit down as I pushed the boat in the water and rowed away from my home and back towards her kingdom.
