A Stranger Love

Part 4

I had treated his wounds. 'Whatever they did to him I was gonna get them back for this'. "Maria?" I shot my head up and rushed to his side. We were in his cell, I was treating his wounds personally. "yea?" "should've let him execute me" "why?" "I don't deserve to live" I shook my head. "Whatever they said to you, ignore it. People change" "even if I did, I'm never getting out of here.." he sat himself up. Zilver and Zcourge are gonna pay. "Why did you save me?" I looked away from him. "I don't like death" "but you believe in justice and whats right, you've heard the things I've done I presume" "yes-" "tsk, stupid human" "Hey!" I whipped my head around. This guy knows how to get on someones nerves. "I should be executed, no?" "yes..." "I'm a bad person" "yea..." "then I should die, why did you save me?" "I already said-" "that's not the 'real' answer" he looked at me and tilted his head a little. 'He was a villain but he could be cute' "what's the real answer?" I looked at him strait in the eyes. I couldn't say it. This was so wrong, my father and the commander would disapprove so much. I was already on the commanders bad side, I think, by saving a really bad prisoner from the death sentence. He freaking tried to destroy the world! "Maria! answer!" he snapped at me, I backed up a little. "I-i-..." "what!?" I flinched at him raising his voice at me. My eyes even kind of teared up a little. "I love you!" I gasped and covered my mouth. He just looked at me. "what?" I stood up and walked out of the cell. I closed the door and locked it. He walked up to the cell door, "I'm s-sorry" I said and walked away from the cell door. I was walking down the cell corridor when he spoke up, "No, I'm sorry" I stopped but didn't turn around. "You risked your job to save my life and I repay you by yelling at you. You confess to me and I can't comply.. I forgot what love even meant. I used to love someone..." I listened all ears. Not walking away he continued, "shes- gone now. I took out my anger on people, it was their fault shes dead. I took that burning hatred and pushed away all my other feelings. I starting blaming myself for her death... Those feelings started resurfacing. I kept my hatred for humans. I took it out on the world and failed. Put in jail, I thought they would kill me. I tried to escape, I still had vengeance in my blood. I failed to escape and thought my failure should be payed by death. I then met you and you were so different than any other human I've met. You were kind, generous, funny, and beautiful" he hadn't noticed I backed up to the cell. Tears running down my face, I slammed my lips into his. That was the longest I've ever heard him talk, little did I know who he was. He kissed me back, this was my first kiss. I loved it, I didn't care what anyone else said. For now, at the moment, I felt good. Like the world had stopped. I pulled away, "I'm so sorry" "you shouldn't be" I looked up at him. "I think you deserve an answer" he said and breathed out. "I love you too" I broke down. I starting crying right there, I fell to the ground. He knelt down on the other side of the bars and held my hand. "Be strong, don't cry" I nodded my head and sniffed. I tried to wipe my eyes with my sleeve. "You better pull yourself together before someone comes" I stood up and so did he. "I'm gonna get you out of here" "what?" "don't worry" I smiled at him. I kissed his cheek and walked away. "Maria, what do you mean?" I knew what I had to do. I would risk my life for him, I would do anything. I was gonna have the life I wanted with him. I walked into the files room and grabbed the floor plans for the prison. I walked around and marked all the cameras and there patterns. I wrote down all of the guards schedules and when they were on breaks. I walked to the neighboring corridor, Zcourge and Zilver were there. "Oh, look who it is miss-" I punched him square in the face. "What the hell!?" "stay away from Shadow" "you mean prisoner 52?" "shut up Zilver! You stay away too! You guys are just a sad excuse for guards. our job is to watch the prisoners and make sure they don't get out not to make them your personal punching bags. And that's what's gonna make this so easy" I smirked and kicked Zcourge back on the ground. "What are you talking about Maria?" Zilver said as I walked away. "You'll see soon enough" I had determination in my eyes, anger and love. I was gonna break him out.

So you may be confused, when Shadow is talking to Maria about herself. His background story is the same but just pretend the person on the ark with him is someone else. 😥
