Captain Styles *UNEDITED VERSION*

Chapter 47

Some of you were wondering why Isabella was angry with Harry, but it'll be explained this chapter just to clear things up for you guys :) Thank you for your patience!!

Isabella's POV:

I was absolutely devastated.

Everyone around me had ceased fighting, looking at each other with wide eyes. Maybe my words had finally gotten to them, and they realized that this fight was absolutely useless.

I was still crying, crying over my father and crying over Liam. Neither of them deserved to die. Liam was an amazing person, one of the best people I've ever known.

And my dad...I know he did awful things, but he was still my dad. He was still a human being that was misled in this world, and he was driven into insanity, and his ambitions and goals for me got him killed.

So many people have died. There was over four hundred dead bodies in the courtyard of the castle, and it was stained red.

My lips were quivering as I tried to hold back my sobs, but it wasn't working very well. Tears continued to go down my face like an open dam, my vision blurry as I continued to stare at my father's dead body.

The blood surrounding him was starting to seep into his clothes, the normal white cloth turning a dark red, stained with his own blood.

A dark contrast. It almost fits him, in a way. His sanity was overtaken by his own ambitions, and he was blinded by it.

I turned around, seeing Niall kneeling down and crying by Liam's body, Louis and Zayn holding a hand over their face to cover up their tears. I could see their shoulders shaking as they stared at their friend, who had risked his life to save the King.

I turned a little more, seeing Harry looking at me in sadness. "Bella, I-" he tried but I shook my head, silencing him.

"Of all people Harry. Of all people, it had to be you!" I scream and his face falls. "I thought he was going to kill you. I didn't know what was happening." he whispers and I feel my heart tear in half.

"The only person that I didn't want to kill my father was you...I told you that! And you killed him. You killed my father." I whimper and he puts a hand on my shoulder, but I'm too angry and too upset to shake him off of me.

"He was coming down at you with his sword Bella. I thought he was actually going to kill you. I didn't realize...that he wasn't." Harry tries and I just shake my head.

"Just go. Please, just leave me alone right now. Go to your friends, they need you." I plead with him and he just sighs, giving up and I feel his hand drop from my shoulder. After I hear his footsteps fading away, another bout of tears overtake me.

I put my face in my hands and bawled.

The rain had soaked my clothes, my wet hair clinging to my face as the rain continued to pour down, making it hard to see. I wanted to go away, go anywhere, be anywhere but here.

The image of Liam getting stabbed and my father getting shot flashes in my mind and I let out a strangled scream, wanting to rewind everything and start it all over again.

"Why can't we go back? Why can't everything just go back?" I ask, my voice hoarse and dry. Looking up at the sky, I keep my eyes closed as I feel the heavy rain droplets hitting my face repeatedly.

Rain...even the sky is crying. God is crying right now.

After what seems like hours, the rain begins to let up a little bit, and I hear someone walking up behind me. Looking over my shoulder, I see Harry-no, King Edward-come up to me with a grim expression.

"I'm sorry, Isabella." he whispers and I just look at the ground, not wanting to say anything. "I know you blame his death on Harry, but please don't. Harry's already torn up already over Liam's death. He can't handle your rejection as well as the weight of his and your father's deaths on his shoulders." the King murmurs and I just sniffle.

"Why did it have to be him? Of all people, why did it have to be Harry?" I question and King Edward just shakes his head solemnly. "I don't know. I can't answer that question, Isabella. He was trying to protect you." he tells me and I gulp, finding it hard to talk right now.

"It's over though. Everything ended with his death. I think he knew it too." Edward whispers and I sniff, barely nodding my head before he lets out a sigh.

He leaves without another word, once again leaving me in silence. But my silence didn't last for long as I heard King Edward's voice boom out over the rain.

"Everyone!" he shouts, making all heads turn to him in an instant. Some people looked completely lost, not knowing what to do now, while others looked devastated about this entire thing.

"This fight is over. It should've been over before it started, but we aren't that fortunate. So many of our men have died in the past day, and it has been a very sad night in this kingdom. We lost some people we didn't know, we lost family, and we lost friends." he says and I feel my heart clench in my chest, making it hard for me to breathe.

"They shouldn't die in vain. Let this be a lesson to everyone! Fighting within one's own kingdom is futile, its just brother killing brother. But now, after this experience, let us unite once more, and move on from this awful event. It will be a tragedy of our history, of our country's past, and we must never forget what it tought us." he continues on and I feel another tear slip from my eye.

"We need to unite our kingdom once more! To start that, I will need everyone's help. I need every single one of you who lived, to clean up this courtyard that has been stained in your brother's blood. And we will give everyone who has gone a proper burial, so that they know they were loved, and they will be forever remembered. Out of the ashes, we will become a stronger kingdom." he finishes and people shout in agreement, enthralled by his speech.

People turn to one another, some crying while others had sadness on their face. Men started to hug one another, as if accepting each other once more.

I looked at Liam, who still had the other four boys beside him. They were no longer crying, but I could still see tears in their eyes, including Harry's. I'm sorry.

"This is all because of me." I whisper, looking at the ground. None of these amazing people would've died if I hadn't have done anything against my father. I've fought him my entire life, and each time I did, he grew colder.

Maybe I was the problem here. I was the one to make him lose his sanity.

Getting up from my knees, my legs feel weak and tired, as if they were going to collapse at any moment. I looked up, seeing Harry staring at me. I started to walk towards him and he immediately came to me, meeting me halfway.

Without a second thought I put my arms around his waist, burying my face in his chest as tears sprung to my eyes. His arms wrapped around me and held me tightly to him, his face on top of my head.

"I'm so sorry Harry. It's all my fault." I cry and he just shakes his head. "It's not your fault. It's not." he whispers and I begin to cry again, saying sorry over and over again.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blame you. I just didn't want you to kill him." I finally whisper and he stiffens for a moment before letting out a sigh. I feel a teardrop land on my cheek and I look up, seeing tears fall from his eyes as he looks at me, his green eyes bloodshot.

"I'm sorry too Bella. I really am."
