Her Legacy (A Her Prophecy Novel)

To Close Of A Call

Pulling away Josh caressed my cheek, rubbing his calloused thumb over it. "I love you, when this is over you and I are going away for some time for ourselves, so promise that we will both be okay" I felt my throat tighten, taking a deep breath "I promise" I seal it with a kiss, "Come on, we need to get ready" I pulled away and walked into the closet, grabbing black skinny jeans, a black razorback tank top, my leather jacket, and boots.

Also, grabbing a dark purple lace bra and pantie set, I quickly changed and headed to my vanity, I applied some dark makeup and put my hair into a high ponytail. After I secured my arm bands I stood up facing Josh, who stood by the door waiting for me, without any words we left and headed outside where all the warriors where waiting for my command.

As Josh and I walked to the center of our warriors, they surrounded us allowing us to speak to them. "Today we will fight and kill this clan that killed your king, your prince and now they threaten your queen and king, we have called you all to fight for your kingdom and for your king and queen!" Josh grabbed my hand rising it up in the air as the warriors cheered. "Alright let's move out!" Josh called as we teleported to the battle field, as the clearing came into view, Josh and I stepped forward as the warriors formed a line behind us. With their swords drawn and their black cloaks covering their faces any human would see us and would run away, we were intimidating.

As we stood at the border of the mercenary clan, I began listening for anything any sign of movements but it was quiet too quiet, "Something is wrong" I whispered and right as I did all hell broke loss. Suddenly the sky turned black I looked up and saw a huge cloud of clouds flying to us, "Get Down!" Uric called as Josh held a protective barrier over us.

When the last arrow fell, Josh lowered the barrier and I stood up embracing my long sword facing it towards the mercenaries "bring your leader forward, now!" Soon a dark voice that I only remember from my nightmares "Now, now Alex is that anyway to speak to your husband's best friend?" I growled "I will speak to you how ever I decide to speak to you, you killed my father and my son, you will pay for your crimes" Grabbing my other long sword and charged with Josh and the rest of my warriors close behind me.

Clashing my swords, I pinned this asshole to the ground, "you destroyed my family, now you will burn in hell!" I leaned closer to him pushing my dual blades against his skin, causing blood to seep from his neck. "Don't be so confident little bird" he hissed as his hands began glowing the heat from his hands began melting my swords, using my moment of distraction he was able to kick his feet under me sending me flying back into a tree.

Landing with a huff my two swords were knocked from my hands, I reached for my bow pulling it from my shoulders I scanned the field looking for him, but I couldn't see him all I saw was my demons beating the shit out of the mercenaries, I was too focused on my mission to see that we were winning.

Josh's Pov

As I sliced the last mercenaries throat, I kicked over his body letting his lifeless corpse fall to the ground staining the grass red. The roar of cheers echoed through the field as I scanned looking for Alex, the pitter patter of my heart dropped when I saw her. Her face was bruised obviously from a punch, her left arm looked broken but what worried me the most is how she wasn't smiling.

I watched her carefully she was on high alert then it hit me, Koso isn't dead as I pulled my sword from my sheath, I saw him appear behind her "Alex behind you..." my call fell onto deaf ears as he shoved his sword through her stomach, there was no sound no cry nothing from Alex. "NO!" I yelled as I charged forward raising my sword, as it clanged together with Koso small sword "you bastard!" Koso didn't say anything he only smirked as my strength proved too much for him.

He began shaking as my sword came closer until I could push him against a tree and cut his head off, his pathetic smirk never leaving his lips as his head fell to the ground, leaving his body against the tree.

Dropping my sword, I ran to Alex's body, she laid on her side with her broken bow on her left side as a large puddle of deep red blood flooded around her. Reaching her I rolled her onto her back, "Alex, Alex can you hear me?" I cried begging for my wife to be okay. Her eyes had a soft purple tint to them and it was fading, "J-Josh" she whispered as blood trickled from her mouth, staining her pale skin. "shh save your strength" She only nodded as I began trying to heal her, the usually strong purple glow, was barely a glow at all I was too exhausted from fighting. "Shit, Uric!" Immediately he was at my side, "take her home!" I commanded before I stood up and followed behind as the whole clan teleported to the kingdom, all I could ask was for her to be alive.

As I leaned back in the chair the hospital provided for me, I looked over at Alex she still hasn't woken up and it's been over 2 weeks. Sighing I closed my eyes as I held her hand praying to whoever was listening to bring my Alex back to me.

I woke up with a huge crook in my neck I realized that I was laying half on-Alex's bed and half on the chair, groaning I sat up and checked on Alex as her soft glowing purple eyes looked back at me, I stood up and walked to the bathroom before I froze and turned around. Alex's eyes where wide open her smile was being played on her lips "Morning" was all she said, and yet it made me smile like a dumbass. I charged towards her engulfing her in a tight embrace "thank god you're awake" I pulled back and kissed all over her face.

"How you feeling?" I asked as I sat down on the bed, "honestly I feel a little nauseous" I felt myself begin to panic, "WHAT! Doctor" I called not wanting to leave Alex side. Soon the door burst open as one of the doctors came rushing in "what's wrong?" "It's Alex she said she feels nauseous" the doctor sighed "my king it's alright just part of the pregnancy" I felt my eyes widen "The what!" I turned to Alex who had her head lowered, "Alex, you're pregnant" I bent down so she would have to look at me.

"Alex look at me" she slowly lifted her head, as her eyes held tears threatening to fall "Why didn't you tell me?" Alex opened her mouth to say something but it seems like she was having trouble coming up with the words. "Alex hey" I lifted her head making her meet my eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?" Alex took a deep breath "I didn't know until the night before the battle, I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't let me fight" "Of course I wouldn't have let you Alex I almost lost you!" I scolded Alex.

"I know and I'm sorry" she started balling, sighing I sat down on the bed and pulled Alex onto my lap the doctor long gone. "Hey I'm sorry I was just upset okay" Alex just wrapped her arms around me holding my close.

Alex turned her head towards my neck kissing it. "Alex what are you doing?" I pulled her away "nothing" she purred rubbing her hands up and down my chest. I gulped as Alex moved closer to me, "Alex no" I warned but it fell onto deaf ears as she kissed my lips, god dammit I missed those lips but Alex needs to stop.

"Alex, hey you need to stop" I pushed against her shoulders pinning her down onto the bed, her eyes went from lust filled to tears, "you don't want me anymore because I'm going to look like a fucking hippo!" Oh shit, good going Josh husband of the year, "no Alex it's not that you just woke up okay you need to take things easy, trust I want you now and I always will but I need you to heal okay?" I was praying that she would stop crying, nodding like a child she sat up and hugged me "I want to leave now, I want to go home" I nodded as I picked up Alex and carried her to the bathroom where I had a pair of clothes for her, with me hanging outside the door I waited for Alex to get changed.

As she exited the bathroom I smiled at her even when her hair looks like a rats nest she still looks beautiful. The dark pair of blue jeans fit her well a little too well, the black V-neck showed off her breasts and flat stomach and the black sneakers she was sporting pulled it together, "how do I look?" she asked as she raised her arms in the air "beautiful" I said as I pulled her into a quick kiss.

I could feel her smiling into the kiss, as I pulled away I grabbed her hand bringing it up to kiss her knuckles. "Come on let's go home" I whispered as I wrapped my arm around her waist as we exited the hospital and headed to our room.
