The Bodyguard

| chapter - 18 |

"Where am I?" The first question asked as he woke up.

I was Arthur again, "Still in future Highness."

And you are Hecate's son so probably you are freaky powerful and I am your mother's hidden plan or something like that. But I didn't say that out loud.

"I was hit by some new kind of weapon."He said remembering the details of the attack.

"Gun."

"How do you know so much?" He wanted a confession from my end that I was from future.

So I gave him that, "I am from this time as you suspected."

"How did you end up in my time?" He asked softly.

"Your mother," I said in a vapid tone.

Just left out the part where his mother was Hecate.

"Why?" He asked with a thoughtful frown.

"We will ask once we got back," I answered him carefully.

Now the problem was Elias in future as well as past was heir to something. And this created enemies everywhere. Here he was supposed to take over a gang and my gang was the rival. If it hadn't been Elias, I would kill him easily but Elias was someone I will always protect.

We hid him in Dad's place since gang will never think of attacking the boss' place.

"Why was I attacked even here?" He said looking stressed out more than he was about time travelling.

He has lived all his life this way, worried that someone will attack him. My desire to protect him increased ten folds.

"They are my dad's enemies, not yours," I answered truthfully.

"Who is your Dad?" His eyes narrowed.

"Important and dangerous man."

Surprisingly, he recovered from surprise quickly and didn't question me much.

"I have to get back to my time." Elias' voice had an urgency.

"We will." I am pretty sure your mom wants you on the throne.

"No, we can't be stuck here. Alisha is still there." He said and I swear my heart stopped for a moment.

"This is future Highness, you will many pretty girls here." I tried to pretend that I was such a guy on this one.

"No, Arthur. She is the one for me. I don't really trust people easily being in my condition and all but I trust her inexplicably somehow." His reasons for liking me were genuine and piling up.

"If she is hiding a big secret for a reason will you forgive her?" I blurted out the question without much thought.

Elias looked at me and I immediately turned away focusing on the weapon in hand.

"If the secret is harmful to me I might be angry else everyone has their secret to keep. Though I did tell her mine darkest one about being able to use magic." He was worried for no reason.

Alisha was here...me! And I don't give a damn if he used magic or not.

"Will you stay back in future if I go back?" The reason for his worry suddenly got revealed.

He cared deeply for people around him.

"I will do what Prince shall order," I said just to make him happy.

I will go with him of course since the prophecy thing got stuck in my mind. He will be safe as long as I am with him.

He went into deep thought for a while and then in an acquiesced tone he said," Do whatever makes you happy."
