A War With 2 Hearts

Chapter 6: What now??

Bon opened his eyes, but what frightened him was a small girl's face close to his. Gasping in surprise, he jumped up and scanned the area. The girl named Bella was still tied up, but managed to wriggle over to him during the night. She could've ran away or killed him. "You could've escaped or murdered me!" He barked at her, backing away. Bella looked at him, then said in a serious tone,"I don't want to hurt you." This surprised him, but he gained back his composure. "It doesn't matter what you think, you're the prisoner, and the enemy. We hate you and you hate us." He explained this to her, but she didn't change expression. "I don't hate you, I've never hated you.........and I'm not the enemy."  She said this genuinely, and whole heartedly. Bon looked more surprised than anything to hear this. He then noticed the beauty of this girl, her red hair, her bright eyes. He leaned in a little, and their faces were two inches apart. Bella didn't move away, she stared at him back. He was about to move in closer when he caught himself, and leaned back. Shaking his head, he motioned for her to come with him. "Lets go." He said.

They walked and walked, and after a while, Bella started to hop from one foot to another. "I need to pee." She whined, and begged to be let go. "No, you'll run off." Bon replied as he slightly blushed. "No I won't, I promise." She answered, and they stared at each other evenly for a moment before he agreed. He untied her and he watched her dash off behind some bushes. 

He was certain she would take off, but surprise hit him when she returned. "Why did you come back??" He wondered out loud. Bella came near him, "Because I never break a promise." She answered. They accidentally touched hands, and a strong charge ran through them. They immediately separated, and it was awkward for a moment before Bella ran off to a nearby stream. "Ooh!! It's so hot today, I wanna go in!!" She exclaimed, she took off her heavy dress and jumped in. Bon blushed as he watched, her head popped out of the water and she called out to him, " Come in!!" He shook his head, but when she kept asking, he finally gave in. He took off his armour and jumped in.
