Hopeless - A Powerless Fanfiction

Mak

Did she say what I think she just said? 

'Marriage' 

That's why King Azer is having her chased down? For a damn marriage? He wanted to marry her. Why did he want her? Didn't she kill his father? Didn't she lead the resistance into his kingdom? Didn't she do every possible thing to make him hate her? 

Yet the damn guy still wanted her?

What the actual hell? Even I couldn't have predicted that. I assumed he was going to execute her; I'd never bothered to ask her what he was planning to do with her. 

But marriage... God, how crazy could the king be? Marrying his father's killer. 

I couldn't ponder too much at the words which had escaped her mouth. Paedyn had given us away, and now I had to fix the mess she had made. Briefly, I wonder how she had managed to evade being captured by the enforcer for so long.

"Found you" The imperial said with his eyes widened and a smirk which could've been the size of Jupiter at this point. I find myself throwing a high kick to his chin, causing him to stumble backwards in shock, before grabbing Paedyn's hand and running in the opposite direction. 

"What the hell was that, Paedyn?" I shout in half-annoyance and half-concern for her, while running away from the guard.

Left. Right. Left. "I don't know, I wasn't thinking properly, I didn't mean to let that piece of information slide, God, if I get captured and brought back to Ilya because of my damn mouth I... I don't know what I'll do but it won't be good." she replies to my question, while panting and sprinting ahead of me.

This girl. She's only on about herself, she doesn't think about anyone else. It's always 'I' or 'me'. Does she not give a crap about the others she's putting in harm's way? God, I really do wonder how Adena put up with her. 

"Well, that's the problem, isn't it? You never think. You never think about how your hurting others. You never think about your reckless actions." As soon as the words leave my mouth, I regret them. The pain on her face is evident, I hit a nerve. Suddenly she pulls me into a corner alley, in an attempt to trick the imperial chasing us. 

"If that's how highly you think of me, then maybe we should part ways then, hm? What do you think Khitan?"

Who the hell does she think she is? How arrogant is she? Does she really think she can survive on her own without the help of another individual? She was basically sentencing herself to death. A suicide mission. I shake my head at her stupidity.

"You can't survive without me, you need help, or else you aren't going to last a month on your own before the enforcer and his men find you again, and drag your ass back to the King" 

"I managed to evade capture before, I can do it again" 

"Didn't you get captured by the enforcer last time? I wouldn't call that 'evading capture'."

"You don't understand, Makoto, the enforcer-" 

I see Paedyn's eyes widen before she finishes her sentence, then I hear a large shout behind me. I whip my head around, but I'm too late, the back of my head is met with a fist, and my world goes black.
