"Oh... my... Irene..." I whisper as I stare into the eyes of Zella again. She gives me a small smile. I can't help it... I run over to her and she hugs me close. I... I won't cry...
"Umm, yeah. I'm gonna go over there..." Garroth says awkwardly, trying to get away from the awkwardness. After Garroth leaves I look her hard in the eyes.
"Who tried to kill you?!" I practically scream at her, "I thought... you were gone..." Zella brushes my bangs behind my ears and shutters.
"It will tear you into pieces if I tell you..."
"No, it won't..."
"Yes, it will! I promise it will ruin everything if I tell you the truth," I am so confused.
"Just tell me Zella," I tell her, "It will be okay, no matter what you tell me." She looks at her feet then looks back into my eyes.
"It was you," I am flushed.
"What?!"
"You stabbed the arrow into my heart."
"No... no I didn't! I would never... I wouldn't do that!" I am freaking out.
"You are right," Zella responds, "You were taken over by some Shadow Knight transformation."
"SHADOW KNIGHT?!" I yell. She shushes me and covers my mouth.
"It's okay," she assures, but nothing she says will make me feel better. I almost killed her...
"I... I am so sorry... I didn't remember a single thing, and..." but I can't say anymore before Zella's lips press against mine.
"It is all going to be okay," Zella sooths when we part. "And it seems like you have already made a good life here." I look at my feet. Then I remember.
"Oh, please, Zella! Are you going to stay here?!" I ask desperately. Zella laughs.
"Well, of course, if I can," she says, "I will ask the lord tomorrow," But I am too wound up.
"Maybe you can ask Gar... Garroth!" I exclaim loudly. Zella bursts out laughing, but I don't care. I pick her up off her feet and spin her around in joy. This is what I have always wanted. But is it really? I am the bad guy in our fairytale...
