Enchanted Tale

Twenty Two: Fight With Me

Everything that happened after our visit with Eric was a blur. The only memorable bit was more people recognised Harry. After we spent the whole day in the village, dodging guards, and looking at new items, many people noticed him and didn't hesitate to stop us in our path. They complained to him about politics and their way of living. Harry grew overwhelmed and we had to return back to the cottage.

Harry threw himself on my bed and sighed. "That is exactly why I don't want to become king. I can't be the answer to their problems! I can barely solve my own."

"Well there's always time to learn. I'm sure your father didn't know how to run a kingdom when he first started out." I comforted, sitting down next to him. Until he resorted to killing his people... I said to myself.

Harry propped himself by both elbows laying flat on the duvet. He looked up at me. "I just don't see how he still has his head. I mean, he goes to meetings every other day. I've been to them, I know how boring and difficult they are."

"Once you're king you'll have the power to change that." I ensured holding his hand. "You could change those people's lifes and even make meetings a bit less boring." I smiled softly.

He slightly laughed. He sat up moving relatively close to me. His grip on my hand was still gentle but grew tighter. "And you'll be right there with me. Helping me make the meetings a bit less boring." He laughed moving in for a kiss.

As much as I wanted to, I had to stop him. "Harry... I can't." I whispered.

"But why not? Elle I told you, I'm not going to be seperated from you."

"But you have to Harry. We can't do this." I said with weak words.

"But I'm soon to be king remember? I'll have the power to change that. You even said so yourself." He pleaded.

"But Harry how do we know that's not just wishful thinking? These laws apply to you and your kind only. Even a king has to abide the rules held over him." I replied letting a few tears fall down my face.

"No. They can't stop us from being together. I won't let them."

I slowly let go of his hand. "I can't take that chance."

I rose from the bed and walked to the door. My emotions were stronger than anything at the moment. I just wanted sometime alone.

"Elle, wait. Please!" Harry said taking a step away from the bed. By that time I already ran out of the cottage.

Peter was looking after Luna wrapping her reigns around a tree. He noticed my state and called after me. "Elle! Where'er you going?" He shouted.

I wasn't necessarily running away rather than walking at a very fast pace. I didn't know where I wanted to go to; I just wanted to get away from there and clear my head.

After non stop walking. I found myself at the lake. It wasn't too far from my cottage. In fact, we pass it everytime we go to the village.

I sat at the bank of the fairly small lake. I looked at the waves as they traveled back and forth. The water fall was quiet. I brought my knees up to my chest and held them. I can't fall for Harry. It will just lead to heartbreak in the end. It angered me that he believed there was a way. I knew that sooner or later he would realise that we can't. I didn't want to see him hurt. I didn't want him to give up, but I didn't want him to have false hope. If I started to believe there was a way, and we both ended up wrong, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I couldn't let him pull me into it. I refused to have that burden over my head. More tears found there way onto my face. I feared the next thought that came to mind.

"I can't love him."

Oddly enough, once I said that, all of the energy in my body drained to my arms. My hands felt like they were about to burst. I stood up confused and a bit scared. I held my hands toward the water. Whatever was about to happen I knew it had to do with magic.

A massive ball of purple energy rolled in it's place over my palm. When I went to touch it, it just switched to my other palm. I extended my arms shooting the ball into the water. As soon as it came into contact with the water's surface it spread and sent lightning throughout the lake. I felt the shock because I was standing on a wet surface. I shifted back from the slight burn at my feet. I still had loads of things to understand when it came to my powers. I've noticed that they only happen when I'm at the peak of my emotions. And after each time, I was calm after.

I returned after the sun had set. Peter and Harry sat inside. The fire was burning and they were talking. I didn't bother interrupt. I just stood outside and listened in.

"...She can be stubborn sometimes. You just have to give her some time to figure things out." Peter said.

"But she doesn't understand that we can figure this out together. If she really wanted to be with me as badly as I want to be with her, she would fight for it wouldn't she?" Harry asked.

Of course I want to be with him. I wanted that more than anything. But I was also fighting... Fighting myself to not fall for him.

"I've seen the way she looks at you. Elle isn't one to show affection that way. I don't know what you've done to her, but I've never seen her so happy."

I took a few steps back to make it seem like I wasn't standing right next to the door. I moved forward and slowly opened it. Peter sat crissed crossed on his bed whilst Harry sat on the bed but rose to his feet once he saw me.

"Elle." He exclaimed.

I looked to the floor biting my lip. "I- uh, just came to grab a blanket. I'll be right out." I said.

"Elle, can we talk?" Harry asked.

"Harry, I can't right now. We should all get our rest. I'll see you in the morning." I explained holding the blanket in my arms and walking away.

"Elle if you truly felt for me the way I feel for you, you would fight with me instead of against me!" Harry said sternly.

I turned around. "I'm not fighting against you Harry! I'm fighting myself! I don't get why you can't understand that we cannot be together no matter how much we want to! I'm trying to save the heartache between us! You can't continue to act like there is some magical way you could erase the laws! Of course I feel the same for you as you do me, but I know what is to come and it's time you should to!" I shouted.

Peter looked down at his hands trying not to pay attention to the argument playing out in front of him.

Harry pursed his lips together in anger. "Since the first day we met you've doubted me. Have I let you down once? Have I ever said I'll do something and it wasn't done? Elle I think it's time you start believening me. Especially now that I'm even more serious about something than I've ever been." He started to walk closer to me. Peter looked up finally comfortable with witnessing this.

He looked at me directly in the eyes, until I looked to the floor again. Even more tears fell. "Harry everything you've told me wasn't as big as changing a law. There's just somethings that can't happen. And whether you choose to believe it or not, we're one of them." I spoke softly.

"There's no changing my mind. Elle, I've fallen for you and like I said before, I'm not letting you go, unless you truly mean that you don't want to be with me." He said holding my hand.

"You're going to have to, no matter how much you believe differently." I said now crying.

I walked out of the cottage too weak to start a fire. Instead I just let the stars shine and be my only light. I laid on the blanket crying my eyes out.

"This wasn't supposed to happen"
