Forrbiden Love (book 1)

Chapter 37: home

(Pb's POV)

At first I sit and try to let this all wrap around my head. If Marshal did that to Marcy I'll kill him even in the after life, I'm just upset that I didn't get to kill him myself. I go over to her and sit beside her and Lola leaves us to be alone. I don't look at her, mainly the floor.

"I'm sorry..."

"No... It's not your fault..."

"Still... I wasn't there for you. I wasn't there to protect you like you do to me."

"I don't want you protecting me... " she looks at me with sorrowful eyes. "I am suppose to protect you... It's a promise I made."

"I know... But I feel like it's not fair for you just to protect me. I know you don't like to hear it but you can't do everything on your own. Now go get in bed and get some rest."

"You just don't understand Bonnie..." She stands and walks jaggedly to bed.

Later I decide to let us go home and we fly back to the castle. I put her in my bed and I go tend to things Peppermint wanted me to get done.

After I do finish everything I go back to my room and put a cold cloth on Marcy's forehead. What will she do? Just keep it? I look at her stomach then I go into my lab and start doing experiments. I leave Marcy alone most of the day to sleep, but I doubt she can...

I hear a knock at my lab door and I look up to see Dexter. "What are you doing here?"

"I've come to apologize for my behavior. I'm truly sorry."

"It's whatever. I know you wanted to rule, doesn't everyone?"

"You do?"

"I would like to expand the kingdom but I don't want to force someone to give up their lands. Plus it just seems right or me to just rule candy people. But anyway.."

"You seem paranoid."

"No... I'm fine, just concentrated on my work. I want to be left alone. See you around Dexter." He nods and walks out then I just feel tears running down my cheeks. Why am I crying? For Marcy?
