The Counselor's daughter (Aquaman Film)

8

I slowly opened the door and walked in. Orm made no move to look at me and I let out a sigh.

"You wanted to see me Orm?" I asked softly.

He set up quickly and turned to look at me shocked.

"You came." He said shocked.

"You asked for me..... so I came." I said as I looked at my hands.

"I didn't think you would come...... are you alright?" He asked softly.

"I'm fine.... what about you.... Arthur hurt you badly." I said softly.

I watched him flinch as he moved his shoulder and I wanted to go up to him and heal him, but in that moment I was to scared to move.

"I'll live..... I... did you mean what you said, about loving me?" He asked looking into my eyes.

"Yes.... I'll always love you...... even if you hate me."

He walked up to me and I held my breath as I waited for him to reject me. But instead of telling me he didn't love me he pulled me against him and kissed me deeply. I let out a gasp of surprise as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against him. After I was no longer in shock I wrapped my arms around his neck and tangled my fingers in his hair as I pulled him closer.

"I could never hate you. No matter how much I try, my heart only beats for you." he whispered against my lips.

I smiled as I pulled Orm back into another kiss and kept my arms around his neck. Soon we had pulled apart and I smiled up at him.

"I love you Orm." I said softly.

"And I love you Alana." He said as he kissed my forehead.

It wouldn't be long before he was free to leave his cell and then after that my father finally told me that it was time. I held my breath as I waited for sunset.

"I want you to go. Tell her I will come as soon a I can, but Arthur needs my help with something first." He said softly.

"I'll tell her.... do you... do you think she will know me?" I asked softly.

"Of course she will.... she will always know it is you." He said as he kissed my forehead.

When sunset arrived I stood on the docks and watched her window. Soon I saw a figure look out the window and when her eyes met mine she rushed out of the house and up to me.

"Alana?" She asked softly.

"Hi mom." I whispered.

Tears streamed down both of our eyes as we ran up to each other and she hugged me.

"I missed you so much." I whispered as I hugged her tightly.

"I waited for you everyday." She said a she kissed my forehead.

"I know.... I watched you." I said with a smile.

We pulled apart and she touched my cheek.

"Wait.... your father is he..."

"Alive.... he had to help Arthur with something he will be here soon.... he just didn't what us to have to wait any longer." I said softly.

She smiled as she took me inside and we talked. I smiled as she told me about her life and I told her about mine.

"So you are engaged to marry Orm the brother of the true king. I am so proud of you." She said softly.

"It took a long time for us to be together, but in the end.... it was worth the wait." I said softly.

"I understand.... it's the same with your father.... even though he is super late, like always." She said as she shook her head.

"He will be here.... I know he will." I said softly.

She nodded her head and we talked for a bit longer.

"Wait So he was late to my birth?" I asked with a laugh.

"Yes, he got lost." She said with a laugh.

Soon I heard a knock on the door and turned to watch her go and open it. When she opened it she covered her mouth.

"Hello my love." My father said with a smile.

She rushed towards him and embraced him in a hug. My father let out a chuckle as he hugged her tightly.

"I missed you so much." My mother said as she let out a sob.

"I told you I would return.... and I have... both of us have." He said as he sent me a smile.

I nodded my head to him and stood up.

"I would stay longer mom, but.... I have a wedding to plan." I said with a smile.

I soon returned to Atlantis and I smiled as I saw Orm in our shared house. He was sitting on our couch working on a dagger.

"What's the dagger for?" I asked softly.

"I got bored." He said with a chuckle.

"It looks just like the one you gave me." I said as I pulled it out of my boot.

"You still have it?" He asked shocked.

"I always keep it with me..... it is my most prized possessions...... other than you." I said with a smile.

He let out a laugh as he leaned up and gently kissed me. He soon pulled away and looked at me confused.

"You think of me as an object?" He asked with a smirk.

"No.... I think of you as my whole world." I said as I kissed him again.

"Man and I thought I was cheesy." A voice said.

"Arthur leave my house before you see me have sex with your brother." I said annoyed.

"Have a good night guys." He said as he left and shut the door.

"So we are having sex." He said questionably.

"Shut up." I said as I kissed him again.

He let out a laugh as he picked me up and carried me to our shared room so we could finally start our new life together. The next morning I woke up in his arms and I smiled as I interlaced our fingers.

"I love you." He said softly.

"You know.... I was wondering.... what would of happen if I hadn't been raised by my father... would we still end up here?" I asked softly.

"I believe we would..... because I think..... no I know that you are my soulmate." He said as he leaned down and kissed me.
