1752: Run

Shay
I woke up to the sound of the door opening. I looked aside and saw Evie walking out with nothing but my shirt on. I climbed out of bed and put my pants on before walking out after her. I made my way out and saw Evie leaning against the railing. "Mother, help me! Allow for me and Shay to be together, help us find a way." She paused and I closed the door behind me and stood there watching her. "If there no way for us to be together, then force me to forget, make me forget." She whimpers as she looks up at the stars. "I need to forget! So please take this burden away from me, please!" I didn't realised I wasn't the only one who was suffering from this pain of wanting to be together but forced to be apart.

I didn't want her knowing I was here, so I closed the door a bit louder so she heard and I pretended that I just come out. "I wondered where you went too." I chuckle as I wrap my around her and point out the stars. "I got lonely, come back to bed." I begged, this might be the only night we share and I didn't want her to leave under any circumstances.

"That's Orion." I rand my hands along her arms. "That one is Polaris, known as the North Star!" I instructed, leaning down to kiss her temple before leaning my chin on her head.

"You're so lucky Shay, you get to see the most beautiful stars." I smiled, as Evie and I continued to look at the stars. "Can I ask you something?" she asked, turning her head back to face me.

"Of course!" I smiled bringing my lips to her forehead, closing my eyes in contact, she looked hesitant.

"I know, I know the problem we have!" She sighs. "Could that not be a problem? I want you so badly!" I cut her off placing my finger on her lips. I pulled away.

"You and I both know we can't! I'm sorry Evie." Evie nodded, and I let out a breath of air. "We've just got to many feelings involved." I state, I had feelings for her, I've had them for ages. Since I first met her really, she's been my only one. "Liam would kill us both." I spoke the words we already knew, but she then turned her head and looked back out at the harbour.

"I'd like to be friends or something, I don't want to be considered as a night one affair." She states, pulling from me. I sighed, I took it from her, she was only young she had wait. I didn't have to bare the same burden. "Could you be my friend?"She asked, I shook my head.

"We'd never just be friends though would we?" I stated more as a fact than as a question.

"Well, Shay." She paused. "Excuse me." I hear a whimper from her as she walks away and back into the cabin closing the door behind her. I groaned and slammed my hand against the mast, then followed her back inside.

Evie removed my shirt, and I couldn't help but stare at the candlelight. The moonlight and the candlelight would fight for dominance with the moonlight. I loved how it showed her skin, her curves, her body. "Evie, what's that?" I asked as I saw a burn on her hip.

"The mark of disownment." She said as she put her dress on almost ready to leave. "Liam would be waking soon, I best be going." I tried to reach for her but she pulled back. "Thank you for giving me this, Shay! I had a wonderful time." I watched her eyes, her eyes told me everything I needed, my words hurt her. I knew they did, I put my loyalties before her, we might have had a good life together, but my love for Liam bore too deep.

"I wish it could have been different." She shook her head. "I wish you all the best, I'll see you in the training yards?"

"No, you don't." She nodded and curtsied. "I'll be the one wearing the tears." I looked up at her but she was already gone.

"Evie!" I called running out after her, but she clutched everything to her chest and rushed into the house. "I'm so sorry, Evie!" I paused watching the light go on from a candle. "You're always going to be the one for me."
