Love Conquers All

Chapter Five

George's POV

"George! Come here!" Aaron's voice calls from down the hall, I look up and gulp. I look down at where I was working on breaking the cuffs and reluctantly go to him.

"Yes sir?"I  walk slowly down the hall and fold my hands behind my back, open the throne room door with my back and look up at him with bored eyes.

"What have you been doing?" He asks , his head and leaning in his hand and free arm around John's waist. The freckled king is situated in Aaron's lap comfortably and has his head tucked under the others jaw.

"Sitting in my room." I sigh and give him a bored look, I set my jaw and roll my eyes.

"Show me your chains." He snaps his fingers, I reluctantly show him, my own eyes on the new cuff marks.

"Why are you lying to me?" His eyes snap to meet mine and fingers curl into John's hip.

"I wasn't completely lying." I shake my head and think.

Now would be a pretty good time to suddenly realise what you are George...

He doesn't look amused, a frown settles on his face and he cocks an eyebrow. His eyes narrow and I freeze up, waiting for whatever the hell he has that squeezes the living hell out of people.

"Anyway...." He sighs and turns his attention to outside, his hand slips under John's shirt and he rubs soothing circles. "It seems like your friends over at the Night and Day court have figured out that we moved."

My eyes widen . There was a king here keeping an eye on the palace incase something happened.  Oh hell..
What king was it?.... James!

"Where's James?" I glare at him and I grind my teeth, a cruel smile curls into the corners of his cheeks and he looks outside.

"We won't be hearing from James for a long, long , time." He purrs and I pale.

"You killed him." I whisper and my eyes fall to the ground. No wonder the Fall court has been silent for the past months.

"Well, we couldn't have him running off and telling everyone where we were, now could we?" His eyes fall back outside and  tilts his head slightly as John presses a kiss to his jaw.

"You're  crazy!" I scoff. " There's five kings to keep a balance for a reason you dumbass, and you just disrupted it."

"Or I just took James place while keeping mine. Ever thought of that George?" He sighs and rolls his eyes.

"I...." I open my mouth to protest and look down. "No... no I didn't."

"Mmhmm, that's what I thought. " He sighs and shakes his head." Anyway, our attempts at staying hidden have all gone to waste. Turns out we were being watched, and now your 'friends' are coming to your rescue."

"Great!" I smile." Because I'm going to kick your ass anyway!" My eyes widen and I slam a hand over my mouth. Why'd I say that? Why, on God's green Earth did I say that?

"I'm sorry?" He growls and slowly stands, kicking John off his lap. John has a hurt look and is staring at the ground like he's just had a genius moment. " What did you just say?"

"Nothing. " I gulp and take a step back. " I said nothing.'

"What makes you think that you can kick my ass?" He smiles and laughs. "You? You're nothing until you know what you are. I could sqish you like a grape and all your 'friends', and you couldn't lift one hand to help me.

The back of my brain starts to itch and I frown. Yes, he could squash me and anyone in his way right now very easily. But what about in the future? I look at the ground and keep trying to grab for that missing puzzle piece in the back of my mind.

I hardly notice the doora behind me flying open and Philip marching in ,his eyes are on fire with anger and  teeth bared in a fierce snarl. He's radiating with heat and freckles are like hot ambers on his  face.

"Ah, Philip! There you are!" Aaron smiles and turns his attention to him. I look at him and give a soft smile, my mood soars from confusion and anger to hope and happiness. He gives a quick smile at me and looks at Aaron.

"Let him go." Philip jerks the point of his sword at me and snarls." Now."

"And how do you plan on making me little Hamilton." Aaron cocks his head. " Or should I  say little John?"

"Why would you say that. I want nothing to deal with him." Philip grits his teeth.

"Well, don't you know who your real parents are?" He purrs and I take a slow step back twaords Philip.  I can almost grab that foggy part of my brain. I need time.

"No. No I don't. " Philip shakes his head." And I dont want to, I have dad and pop and they're my parents . Besides, my real parents are dead."

"One of them are." He corrects. " One of them's very much alive."

The rooms silent before Philip's eyes widen and his eyes dart to John. He shakes his head slowly and takes a step back. "No.... no way. Not going to happen, I am not that monster's kid!"

"Don't deny true facts Philip, that only gets you hurt." Aaron slowly starts walking twoards us, he pulls a sword out of thin air and his eyes go between me and Philip.

Come on Philip.... keep stalling, I almost have it.

"Well, I don't care." He snaps out of his daze a glares at Aaron." I have all the family I need. I don't need him. Not now, not ever.'

"Im glad to hear that." Aaron chuckles. "That makes my job easier."

"I've got it!" I gasp and my eyes widen, my body freezes up and my brain hums with energy.

No way..... those dont exist.

Aaron's eyes fly open in panic and he looks back at John who looks like is in as much panic, he sits bolt up from his spot and eyes go wild.

I can't be one of those...

Aaron to turns me and starts marching forward slowly raising the sword, he gives an animal like snarl. The windows explode and the rest of my heroines bust in through the window.

Philip steps into his path and is easily tossed across the room, hitting the wall and slumping down. He doesnt get up. The buzzing in my head grows stronger and I stare in horror at Philip.

"I'll see you in a hell." Aaron snarls  as he raises the sword, and everything goes black.

Im an angel.
