Chapter 14:

(Ellie's POV)

Kissing my forehead gently, he rolls over beside me pulling away from me and dragging the covers of us.

"You are worth the wait" He spoke turning his head whilst I left mine looking at the ceiling. I knew that if I looked at him I wouldn't be able to contain myself. His grin was infectious and was exactly how I remembered it.

"How long would you have waited for me if I hadn't come back?" I asked smiling still looking away.

"The rest of my immortal life." His voice spoke. I closed my eyes and then swung myself over so I was straddling him so I could look down at him. I took his hands in mine and intertwined our fingers together as his eyes lingered from mine and our hands.

"What if I died?" I spoke, the tone changing morbidly but I needed to know.

"I thought you did." He said moving a piece of hair from my face and placing round my ear.

"And you still kept on looking?" I asked.

"It never made any sense. I don't know how to describe it. I just knew deep down you were alive" he replied.

"That's the link between us" I replied. I looked at our intertwined hands and felt the energy between us flow just mentioning it. As much as I loved being in bed and being with Harry, I didn't feel secure with our position. In the back of my head all I could think about was the risk. We were open targets here.

"We need to come up with a plan." I stated getting out of bed, grabbing one of his shirts and putting it on.

"We need to get back into bed and carry on where we left off" he said not moving.

"Harry I'm being serious." I said trying to look around to find my clothes. I looked at the damp dress and decided not to wear it.

"And I'm not?" His grin widening looking as cheeky as ever.

"They are going to be looking for me, it's not safe for us to be here" I explained

"If time works the way you explained with the portal, we've got time." He sat up, pulling the sheet over his legs.

"I don't want to risk it." I replied looking for his shirt, sliding it on my body.

"Ellie" he moaned lying on his front looking over at me, his arm lazily reaching out to try and touch me.

"What is all this anyway?" I asked referring to the wall.

"Leads" he said, huffing as he got out of bed knowing I wasn't going back into his arms.

"Looks like you were close to finding me." I commented. His arms went around my shoulders with his lips next to my ears.

"What are you doing?" He asked

"What?" I asked pulling away from him to put my underwear on.

"Why are we looking at that wall and not in bed?"  He asked going back to the edge of the bed, sitting on it in my direction.

"Because we need to go and you're not leaving." I said looking around the room for more clothes to wear.

"You're not exactly dressed yourself" he commented.

"I don't want to lose you and I'm worried they're going to take me away from you again or worse." I turned to him, fear in my voice.

"I won't let them." He said strongly.

"You won't get a choice. They controlled your mind last time. What makes you think you'll be able to control the situation this time?" I explained. I saw his reaction change.

"I knew it." He whispered, standing up sharply. The anger growing.

"Harry." I said hoping my voice would calm him.

"I'm going to kill them." He stated.

"Harry they're my parents." I said as if it were justification.

"I don't care." He replied looking away from me.

"Harry" I said reaching him. He turned around and his eyes had turned red in anger.

"They took you from me Ellie. For years I thought  I let you go and I never understood why. They controlled my mind to take you from me. All I want to do is protect you and they are doing their damned best to put you in harms way." He explained.

"They think they are doing what's best" I said.

"Why are you protecting them?" He asked moving away from me.

"I'm not protecting them but they are still my family and I don't want them dead." I explained.

"They're happy enough for me to be" he exasperated pointing to himself with his other hand holding the sheet over him.

"I won't let that happen." I replied.

"You don't get what's happening." He said putting his boxers on turning away from me.

"Of course I know what's happening." I snapped back, insulted by what he said.

"No you don't. They may be the threat right now but they are the puppets." He turned back pointing to the board.

"Not you too." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"What?" He replied.

"I'm sick of hearing this higher threat that I've never seen. It's an excuse they use to keep us apart." I explained not believing I was having to explain this to him. The bogeyman that my parents used an excuse to justify their poor parenting actions. I couldn't believe he believed it too.

"It's not an excuse. And I don't care if it is. I'm not risking it." He replied, his hand gesture saying that it was final.

"So what now then?" I asked.

"You're the one that wants to run." He answered crossing his arms.

"And you want to stand and fight?" I asked.

"Yes. Why don't you?" He said sounding confused.

"Because we will loose" I stated. He went silent as if he couldn't argue back with the facts.

"You say that you don't want to loose me. But if we fight we will." I carried on.

"I will not loose you." I finished trying to not cry.

"Then let me protect you." He replied taking a step closer.

"Come back to bed." He said calmly. I walked towards him and hugged him tightly in his embrace. I looked towards his emerald eyes as he pressed a kiss to my lips.

"I love you." I uttered before forcing my lips to connect with his which he met gladly.
