Once Upon a Time

★•°☆Chapter four☆•°★

❄️~Love will blossom and trust will emerge when the five kingdoms unite as one.~❄️

I stare at Leon as he pins me down on the ground.

The other version he said. What version? There is another version? 

''Let go of me.'' I order.
''Will you fight me again if I do that?" he raises an eyebrow.

Yes, I will do that. I shake my head. ''No, I won't.''

He nods and unpins my arms, raising slowly away from me.

As soon as I'm free I kick him at his stomach and get up. He grabs my waist and pulls me back at the ground, clutching me closely to himself.
''You said you won't fight.'' he says.

''Let go.'' I say through clenched teeth.
''No.'' he tightens his hold on my waits.
''Let. Go.''
''No.''

Noah lets out a snicker from the corner and our heads whip in his direction.
''Sorry.'' he holds a hand to his mouth, ''Continue, continue. Don't mind me.''

I roll my eyes and turn my head to face Leon behind my shoulder. ''Let me go.'' I smile and he shakes his head. 

He wraps his other arm around me and rests his head on my shoulder. I take in a deep breath. It looks like we're in a very peaceful moment instead of a terrible fight.

''Leon.'' I say.
''Hm?'' he pushes his head at my neck, inhaling my scent. I try to ignore the tingles on my body or the fairies on my stomach.
''Please let go of me.''
''Do I have to?"
"Yes, you have to.''

He lets out a sigh and let's go of me. I get up and stand in front of him as he sits down on the floor. 

''Explain.'' I say crossing my arms. He looks up at me, his eyes wide.
''Really?"

''You have only ten minutes to gain my trust again.'' I say and he nods, happiness written on his features.
''That's all I need'' he says. 

''My name is Leon Windward, I'm heir and prince of the Dark Kingdom. I'm a dark wielder, I have shadow magic, but unusually I have fire magic too, which belongs to a fae. No one knows about this expect Noah...well and you.'' he says, and I narrow my eyes, ''That is Noah Bozzelli, he's my bodyguard and unfortunately my best friend.''

''Yeah, that's me.'' Noah grins.

At least their names were real and not a lie. 

''What are you doing here?" I say,
''I'm trying to save my kingdom.'' he says, and I frown.

''From what?" I ask.
''Would you believe me if I said from the dark?" he asks, and I raise an eyebrow.

''Explain.'' I say.

''We were never a danger to the other four kingdoms Evangeline.'' he says, ''We only wanted to be friends and allies with you, but you hated us. All the four kingdoms hated us because we had magic. The humans from the other kingdoms don't have magic, only us.  I think they hated us for that reason. I don't know it had happened too many years ago. But it wasn't us who started the war. The other four kingdoms started it, they tried to kill all of us. We had no other choise but to fight back.''

''Then they putted the barrier. That barrier is killing everyone, is draining the powers, is making the stars and the moon not to shine anymore. We are all in the darkness, no light source. We don't have light or fire magic; we can't shine our kingdom. The children are dying from the cold, the elders are dying, we don't have food. The plants are dead because there is no moonlight, the animals are dead to. The Dark Kingdom is dying.'' he breaths out the word 'dying'. The color drains from my face.
