The King

Trap

Hello, hello, hello. It's hot as hell here, and I was in the mood to write, so I made this chapter...and it is full of anger, don't ask me why...maybe its the heat getting to my head. But I quite like this chapter, its one one my favourites. So I hope you enjoy!!!

I was woken up by a loud knock on the door, it sounded urgent. I looked over at Ed, who was still asleep on my chest. There was another knock, only louder. I sighed, moving my shoulder, trying to shake Ed awake.

"Sire, are you awake, it's important," I heard Bleu's voice. I moved to shake Ed's shoulder.

"Ed," I whispered, "Ed wake up."

He groaned in response, his eyes fluttering open, and damn, they are beautiful. Even in the dark they sparkled.

"What is it love?" He asked, his voice raspy and soft from sleeping.

"Bleu is outside the door, it sounds important," I whispered.

"What is it Bleu?" Ed asked, pulling the blanket up to cover our exposed bodies.

"Can I come in, Sire?" Bleu asked.

"Yes," Ed mumbled, rubbing his eyes. The door opened and Bleu stepped inside.

"Morning, Sire...Kara," he said, nodding his head towards us.

"Yes, now...what's so important that you had to wake us up?" Ed asked, annoyance laced in his voice.

"Kelly finished the map...we know where Oliver is," Bleu said. Ed shot out of bed quickly.

"Let me see this map," he ordered, grabbing his robe and tying it around his waist.

"I will bring it to you right away, Sire," Bleu said, quickly rushing out of the room.

"Alright," Ed said, walking over to look out the window.

I just sat there, starring at the wall.

"Are you alright, Kara?" He asked, coming over to me.

"My mum-" I started, "don't follow that map that she drew you...you can't."

"Why not, Kara. I need to find them," he said, sitting next to me.

"I know...but it's a trap, Ed."

"A trap? Kara, don't go there," he sighed.

"She wants you dead just as bad as the others, I guarantee thats what she and Kaolin were talking about that night," I whispered.

"How could you possibly know that?" Ed asked.

"I just do, she hates you," I told him.

"I have no choice, Kara...I have to find them," he said.

"Then just send some knights out," I begged.

"That's ridiculous," he said, "I have to do this."

"No, you don't," I argued, grabbing his hand. "Please, I don't trust her."

"Then you're going to have to trust me," he said, wrapping his fingers through mine. "I will keep an eye on her."

"How can you do that if you're dead?!" I yelled.

"Kara, I will be fine," he said, sighing.

"That's what you think," I whispered under my breath.

"Will you just let it go?! I have heard enough of it!" He said, getting frustrated.

"I'm sorry, alright! I'm just worried," I said.

"I know, Kara...but I'm going to be fine," he told me, his voice going soft.
