Forever My Love

Lacy; Chapter 11

I don't know where I am. I'm lost in the middle of the forest. There is blood on my hands. It happened so fast that both of the guards who were on me died. I killed both of the guards, and I feel no remorse. I pace back and forth as I plan my next move. Should I bury them? No, that would take too much time but if other guards come and find them, they would know I killed them. I let out an angry sigh. Not knowing what to do. I saw a glimpse of the guard who threw Alex onto the ground. It was Arlo. He better not have touch him because I will kill him with my own hands.

There is a lake nearby. I could dump them into it. They are too heavy. Their armor is going to go to waste that I made. I drag them each one by one. I kept one of their swords just in case. Now, this stupid dress. It's stained with blood and it's making me uncomfortable. I remove my heals and threw them into the lake. I could run more easily.

I'm still lost. The sword is my hand. I can't let my guard down. There might be guards still in here. I slowly walk through the millions of leaves on the ground. Each time I walk they echo. I need to get out of this forest. I just have to. It's freaking me out even more when night is approaching. I feel like a mouse. Getting chased by a cat. I feel closed in. The blood is taking up my fumes. Then, I vomit. It's all over my dress. "Are you fucking kidding me" I mumble. I'm stumbling. I feel like I'm going to faint. I need him. Where the fuck is his he.

I freeze. Someone is behind me. Grasping my shoulder. It's not Alex. I glance over my shoulder and it's Arlo. His face looks disoriented, and he has blood all over him. "Arlo" I whisper "Lacy" he whispers back. "Let's talk, Lacy" he says in a devilish tone. "What's there to talk about? You killed Alex" indicating the blood on him. I hear him let out a laugh, "I didn't. He's alive. I know something about him that you don't" I shiver. "What don't I know? "He has another girl."
That same girl plunged a knife into my back". I freeze. "What? You're lying" my grip on my sword tightens, "I refuse to listen to you after what you did to me" I feel him spinning me around; to face him. "Listen to me darling, Alex is not a good person. He killed several people" "out of protection!" I yell at him. "I don't understand you, Arlo. You used me for fame and now you are running back. You are lost puppy" I'm thrown into the tree. I watch as he approaches me, "why can't you listen to me! For fuck sakes!", somehow, the sword is still in my hand, "I love you. I love you so much that I would do anything for you" "then leave me alone." I hate him. "No, I simply can't do that", I feel metal trailing up my arm, "if you can't cooperate with me then things will get messy, Lacy" he's going to kill me. "Cooperate? Doing what?" he has a smirk, "we never kissed in our relationship, and I want to feel your soft lips on mine" his finger grazes my bottom lip. "I don't want to kiss you. You are a fucking asshole" "well, that's too bad" I feel a sharp pain in my arm. He is cutting my arm. "Stop it!" and he listens "you are now going to listen" he tilts is head. Blood drips down out of my arm. I don't want to do it. "Fine." I feel his hands cup my face, "finally" he whispers. As he leans into me, I plunge the sword into his stomach. "Fuck you" I let out a chuckle knowing I won. "W..What did you... do?" he is stumbling. He is weak. He underestimated me. He falls onto the ground as he lets out his final breath. I don't feel any guilt.

I lean against the tree as I fix my wound on my arm. It stings but at least I'm alive. I still have no clue where I'm at. I walk and walk until I hear leaves moving. Again. Another guard? Fuck. I peak around the tree to see him. Alex and... Annie? The same girl who helped me from the guards. What is she doing with him? I watch them. I was to focus on them that I moved. The leaves echo from beneath my feet. Making them pull out their weapons.

Panicking. I hear Alex yell, "come out of hiding whoever you are!" His voice is shaky. I need to reveal myself to them but what happens if they will betray me. Maybe Arlo was right. I realize that I've been gripping onto my sword so hard that my hand is bruising. I loosen the grip. My hand is aching. "Fuck this" I hear from Annie as I hear steps coming towards my direction. I need to run. I have to. I backed away from the tree and ran. "Hey!" Annie screams. I'm running and running as I trip. Typical. My ankle is in pain. Until I hear voices again. "This has to be a joke" I mumble to myself. I crawl backwards slowly as I don't want to be discovered. "I saw someone over here" she yells. If Alex is really dating Annie, then I really screwed up. How ironic. My whole life is screwed up. I hear a gasp from the two. Alex and Annie as they see me. I glance up to Alex who looks exhausted.

"You found me", I let out a small chuckle. "Lacy? What the fuck happened to you?" Annie says as they both approach me, "long story short, I killed two guards and Arlo" "Arlo?" Alex whispers, "I thought I killed him?" "Then why did he throw me into a tree and threaten me to kiss him?" I blurted. I am annoyed. They are examining me as if I'm an animal in a cage. "Are you okay?" He says as he places a shoulder on my shoulder. It's comforting. "Yeah, I'm so fine" "no you're not" I feel his finger trace my wound "he did that to you?" He whispers and I nod "I'm glad you killed him" he whispers as he places a kiss on my forehead "I can't lose you" "you will never lose me, Alex" I said to him with a smile.
