My God

My God 23 )

"Not even a day to prepare. A little rude on Zalla's behalf" I say as Enas, Ignis and I walk into the palaces battle arena.

We had made a stop at Salo's chambers to get the tiny homing bomb out of Enas's neck. With a war brewing, he knew the dumbest thing to do would be to let his other son die.

Enas had transformed into a black long sleeved top with black latex pants, golden chest plate with a silver cape attached and gold boots.

Ignis had changed into a pair of black latex pants, black boots, an orange top you couldn't see under his silver chest plate, his traditional red cape and the Vohon Sokyra in his hand.

I walked in front of the pair, wearing white thigh high boots, silver one piece suit with a blue skirt, a gold chest plate and gold arm bands with the sleeves coming passed it, looping my middle finger through the material to keep it down.
As far as capes and weapons, I figured it slowed me down so instead I had my hair in a high ponytail, magic rings around my wrists instead.

"Seriously though, Salo isn't well enough to fight in a war, Enas had become unhinged for a moment, Tabak lost an arm and you nearly broke a rib.
We aren't prepared for this battle" I say to Ignis as we see the army before us.

"Warriors of Yaldvir. Today we protect the throne by protecting the people, the dimension and realm teleporting station is closed and the citizens have been placed in our ancestors secret chambers. I am thankful to see so many bright faces and I am grateful for your sacrifice.

This army is unlike one we have seen before. Their power is drawn from the stone of darkness, the Yin of the universe.

I ask you to not fear the dangers ahead, yes, times will be tough but as Yaldvirian citizens I am one hundred percent sure we can pull through this situation. Just as we have defeated every army before hand!

So please, prepare, take control of your lives for one last night before a storm hits.
Do not think this is a reckoning because you will be protecting the innocent.

I thank you all for your sacrifice to the people of Yaldvir and I am more than grateful for you all."

The crowd cheers as Ignis steps back from the podium.
Enas was distant from me but I had to assume it was because he was still hurt about earlier.

"Nice speech flamey" I tease, punching him in the arm.
Enas growls next to me but when I look at him he has turned the opposite way.

None of us said a word as we moved into the war meeting room.
There sat another three men, including Peilloe.
I stood near the door as I was just a warrior.
A popular, overpaid, royal kind of warrior but I wasn't enough to be a general at the table.

Neither was Enas I realised as he stood next to me without saying a word.
I look at Ignis and he nods allowing me to drag E outside the meeting room.

"Hey what the?" He says as I drag him outside the doors closing behind us.

"What's going on?" I ask with my hands on my hips.
He smirks and laughs lightly before running his fingers through his hair. A nervous habit I've only just noticed.

"I'm sorry if I'm keeping my distance. I've just recently tried to murder my father and held a knife to the woman I love's throat and also strangled her in a mad scramble to get her to give up on me"

I widen my eyes.
He loves me?

His eyes widen as he realises what he said.
"So you're scared of hurting me?" I ask frozen to the spot as I realise the man I love loves me back.

"That's exactly the point. I don't want to endanger you"
He leans against a podium and I take a step forward, just enough to have his eyes back on me.

"So.. you'll never touch me again?" I ask playing with Fire.
I had to know if he felt the same.

When he didn't reply I took another few steps forward.
"Enas?" I ask lower than normal.

"Do you want to touch me again?" His Adam's apple bobbed in his throat as his eyes trailed down my body.
He pulled his eyes away and I knew I was under his skin.

"You can, I won't object." He didn't look down at me so I moved closer so that I was nearly pressing against his chest.

"I don't want to touch you. You deserve better than me" I roll my eyes as he makes eye contact with me.

"And yet here I am" I lean up and his arms go to my shoulders, holding them very lightly. His kind smile was gazing at me.

"Please Carla. I don't wanna hurt you" I move his arms off my shoulders and pull myself into his chest, my hands on his chest plate.

He looks at me sympathetically.
"You're just gonna get hurt. I threatened you"

"You had a low moment. It happens. I wouldn't be here unless I knew I could help you"

"Help me? Am I a sick patient in a hospital?"
His eyebrows furrow together and I sigh.

"No I'm not saying that. Don't put words into my mouth E, I'm saying that I'm sticking with you, forever and always"

He licks his lips and puts an arm around my waist, his other hand coming up to my head to move a loose strand from my eyes.

We both lean in, slowly, without breaking eye contact.
It had been so long since we had kissed.

his free arm moves from my face and pulls me as close to him as possible before our lips connect.
I moan against his mouth as we kiss.
I forgot how heavenly he could kiss.

My hands trail up his body and snake around his neck, I was standing on my tip toes as he leant down to kiss me deeper.

We were so lost in our kiss of redemption we didn't see the meeting door room open.
Nor did we hear Ignis coughing to get our attention.
Well not at first.

Enas and I pulled back from our kiss, his arms still around my waist, my arms around his neck when we saw prince Ignis and the other generals snickering.
I blushed from embarrassment and Enas let me go.

"So I guess you two are okay?" Ignis says as he tosses his axe in one hand, catching it over and over.

"Shuddup" I say walking to Ignis and the other laughing generals.
I turn to see Enas looking at the ground, distant. His hand came to his mouth and for a moment he smiled.
