Magi: Armakan Love Story

Protected

Lavinia's P.O.V.

When I finally wake up, I feel warm arms wrapped around my waist with my face pressed again something warm. My eyes open, and I realize that I am pressed against Armakan, who is still asleep. I then also figure out that our legs are tangled together and one of my arms is under him while the other is resting on his side. I then look up and see him staring down at me with tired eyes.

"Good morning." I say softly.

"Morning." Armakan says in a husky morning voice, making my heart skip a beat.

Armakan goes to get up, but I grab wrap m arms around his waist tighter and keep him down. He chuckles and me and hugs me tighter too. We stay like that for a couple of minutes and finally decide to let him go and get out of bed. I go to grab the dress I usually wear, but think about what Armakan said. I look and Armakan and when he looks at me he chuckles a little and asks, "What?"

"You'll see." I say going behind my divider and get into the dress that dad got me when I became queen and never wore after my incident. Once I put it on, I walk out from behind the divider and see Armakan's eyes go wide.

"Wow. You look gorgeous." He says making me blush.

"Thank you. I thought about what you said to me last night and decided that I should show my scars and be proud of what I look like now." I say fiddling with the dangling amethyst.

Armakan grabs my hands and says, "I'm glad you decided to show who you are after my little speech to you."

I giggle and kiss his cheek before saying, "I'm thinking about taking you and the others out to see talk to the priest. Be basically runs Keystonland," before walking out. I turn my head slightly and see Armakan put his hand on his cheek where I kissed him and smile lightly.

I walk over to the table and grab something to eat and go up to the platform and sit on the edge. I see Chastity and dad grab something to eat and start walking over to the platform and hear them walk up the stairs.

"You look gorgeous sweetheart. What made you start wearing it?" Dad asks sitting next to me. I feel Chastity sit behind me and lightly trace mt scars.

"Armakan made me change my mind. I told him about how I felt ashamed of my body and that it was hard to look at myself in the mirror and he told me that I shouldn't and that I look gorgeous even with the scars. I was planning on wearing my white dress, but replayed what he had said in my head and wore this." I say

Dad brings me into a side hug and says, "He is right though. You are gorgeous with your scars."

I look at Chastity and see her nod and I grab her and sit her on my lap.

"So, what are you planning on doing today?" Dad asks taking a bite of oatmeal.

"I'm going to take everybody to talk to the priest." I say making dad look at me worriedly.

"Dad, I will be fine. I am not,going to get hurt with them around me." I say

We finish eating and I see my guests getting up from the table and walk towards me. I then kiss Chastity and dad on the cheek before getting up and walking down the platform towards them.

"Are you guys ready to go and talk to the priest?" I ask and they all nod.

Just as I'm about to take a step I feel Brujas slither up my body and curl around my waist. I giggle and pet the top of his head making him rest to the of his on the side of mine. I turn my head and kiss his head before walking to the entrance of our home. I open the entrance and walk out the back door. Before we get to the cathedral doors, Brujas unwraps part of his body around me and moves to the left. He looks behind me and hisses, making of us look behind us.

I see three guards pointing their swords at me and one says, "Alright Gypsy Queen. Come with us, now!"

Before I can say anything, one shoots an arrow at me from a tall building hitting me in the a couple inches to left of the middle of chest, making me scream in pain and fall down, then Brujas covers my body. I put my right hand over around my arrow and put pressure, trying to slow the bleeding.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Armakan look at me worriedly with his weapon drawn. I also see everybody with there weapon drawn except for Masrur and Morgiana, and I see Aladdin standing close to me. I feel a hand put over my head and look up to see the priest.

"I hope you boys know that Queen Lavinia is protected by the Seven Seas Alliance along with her people." Sinbad says.

"Do we look like we care? All of us guards were ordered to capture the Gypsy queen and bring her to the captain of the guard so she can be burns at the stake before her people are hung." One of the guards says angrily.

"What did the gypsies do to you? More importantly, what did she do to you? Huh?" Yamuraiha says mad.

"Lavinia and her people are under our protection. So if you think that you are going to kill any of her people or even her, you will cause a war to start. Do it Masrur." Sinbad says. Armakan then runs to me and kneels down next to me and I slowly lift my bloody hand up, and he grabs my gently. My vision starts to go back and I hear Armakan tell out my name .

"We need to get the arrow out of her. She is going to die. She is protected in the cathedral." I hear the priest yell before I pass out.
