"KILL HIM!!"
The order rang out like a gunshot
She was powerless to stop them
Even with all the weight her name held she could not stop the blows that fell along her beloved's back
She could try though, just as he had for her
They had met one night by accident
He on the way back from a beating
She returning from a cold glare and hateful words
She had stumbled coming up the stairs
They were far to polished to be safe and her tears definitely didn't help
He was the one that caught her
Even though it caused him pain he saved her
It was time for her to do the same
She shoved past the guards that held her back and ran to his bleeding broken from
He wasn't supposed to look like this.....
The first time she had seen him healthy was when Leo had taken her out on a ride
They were supposed to be talking but she was more just nodding at intervals and relishing the fresh air on her face
It was then she saw him
Swinging down with an axe that gleamed in the day dew mist
He had his shirt off
Revealing his tanned back for all to see
His indigo eyes solely focused on the task at hand
He didn't notice her staring
She noticed him though
The muscle
The power
The scars
He had gathered new ones since that day
She loved them all
They were a part of him
And he was a part of her
That's why he couldn't leave
He just couldn't
They knew they couldn't be together
But that didn't stop the notes slid under doors
The flutter of a hand in the hall
The knowing smile of a certain maid
The hushed giggles
Gentle kisses
Promises made with love
He had promised
He had promised to never leave her
So why did it look like he was fading
She couldn't keep her head up anymore
