{COMPLETED} The Bloody Leader

10. Love for Tears or Tears for Love

Tords POV

After making my way back through the forest I continued to contemplate. The things Farrah said earlier “If you Want us Both to be Happy then when you become King Change this Stupid Law,” I ponder that thought and start to question my own self and my sexuality, sure I denied it when with Farrah and Tom but now that I'm alone what am I truly.

I lay in my bed just wondering, i hear a knock on my door and open it “Tord my Prince,” “yes Pat?” “Your father wants you,”  says Patryk I nod and leave my room.

“Fath- king John,” I say, he turns and looks at me, not caring that I'm calling him by his name “Tord, how would you feel marrying Farrah?” “Wait! No! Like I said before, I don't like her like that, I don't even like her plus she's two and a half years younger than me!” I exclaim “Tord, accept it. We have to go to war in less than 36 hours, if I die the Kingdom is all yours but you're going to need a queen-” “AND IF I WANT A KING!?” I cover my mouth and look at King John, my father who never wanted me “...get out..,” he says I question why, he slaps me “You're no son of mine, gay and hiding it, I should disown you, you Faggot!”.

I feel a tear run down my face I wipe it and feel his hand grab my Chin “You're a disgrace, after all this settles down don't bother calling yourself a Prince, Don't bother calling me your father, and don't bother being acknowledged. Leave this Castle and don't come till you know I'm sleep, I don't want to see you, I don't want to be near you, and I don't want to hear you, I don't even want you to be relevant me, got that?”. I snatch my head from his hand and look him in the eyes, a full fire was raging in my mind, heart and I can bet eyes as well.

“Listen King John, I going to be my own person you can't make me be different, and you never will. If I like guys then I like guys if I like girls then I like girls, You. Can't. Change. Me.!” I yell, I knew I shut him up he told me to leave his sight, I was glad I did the sun was starting to come up, idk how to feel, I wasn't tired I wasn't myself, I just wanted to run, so I did.

I didn't care that if I fall to my death I didn't care if I survived, I just want to be myself and true. I gotta tell Tom, that I may just not see him again that once war happens I just might want to die. I knew my thoughts should not get the best of me but The King is a total bitch, scared of a new fucking change and I always get the shit end of it and its dumb.

I run to the stables and grab Smokey and command him to go, he jumps the stalls and run in the forest I hear a Tord be yelled behind me I look and see Farrah, I turn my head back around I got to the place I took Thomas when we had two weeks before war now less than three days. Smokey slowed to stop once reaching the river dividing the land, I got off him and grabbed the rope from the tree since Smokey can't swim and he's scared of water I tied the rope on his neck tight enough to hold him but loose enough for him to breathe, after I pet his snout I run back to the trees and take off.

Barely making the other side of the I look back at Smokey he shakes his head and lays down I start to run up the hill trying to find the tallest tree there was. Once I did I climbed it all the way to the top.

I could see for miles i could see both Kingdoms up and active, I saw the spot me and Tom met I stayed looking out toward that way waiting to see if he'd come after waiting about 30 minutes climb to about the high mid part of the tree. After about a hour the sun was at high tree I climbed back up hope Tom came to our spot I didn't see him but I decided to wait a little longer about 15 minutes later I see a figure walk on the platform and climbed down immediately. Jumping over the river and unleashing Smokey guiding him the place I want to go taking off.

Once I got there i heard yelling. I question jump off Smokey and see Thomas struggling with someone twice his size “let go of me!” “Stop making this harder for you bitch!” I run and punch the man in the face, he lets go of Tom and tries to go after me “What's your deal?!” “Well wouldn't you love to know!” he sounded Hispanic he back up and charged straight for me I hit him in his throat, I knew he would be stunned for a few “Thomas imma need you to run,” I say “I'm not the Prince,” I hear, my eyes widen and I look down.

A girl with short tan wavy hair and matching skin tone was on the rock her eyes a pure ocean blue and full of fear, the next thing I felt was fearing stumbled back and looked up, my vision shaky, I saw the man on too of the girl again I pushed him of and picked up the girl and started running “Who are you?” “Tord J Larkin, Prince of the Rose king-” “ROSE KINGDOM!” she yells she starts squirming until i dropped her she stands up and backs a way “I-I hear a lot about your Kingdom, trust me I rather be raped than be involved with you!” She yells I roll my eyes and ask if she's from the Velvet Kingdom, she says yes and I drag her the direction we where going, once we reach the Orchids I take her by her waist and place her over the Orchids “How did you know to go this way?” “I thought you rather be raped than be involved with me,” “I would,” “then why do you care,” I say with a smile.

I hear her scoff and make my way back to the rock getting there i see Thomas healing the bastard i run and smack his hand off the dudes face “what was the for?” “Hes a horney bastard,” “How do you know?” “I just saved the most bratiest girl I met from him,” “we should go,” I say lifting him up, he holds onto my are and I go back to Smokey “how long have you been here?” “Sun rise,” “why? “Bastard father,” “oh.. that not nice Tord,” “What else is there to say he's a jævel bastard that's too weak to accept a change that's happening all over the God damn nation!” I snap.

I felt Tom let me go I stop and look back at him “I'm sorry, was it my fault?” “No, No it wasn't, why do you think that?” I ask he starts to bit his lip. I take his hand and pull him close to me I then grab his waist a lift him up, this time he knew to put his hands on my shoulders after I set him on Smokey we stay in that position for a little longer, being nose to nose once we let go I hop on and take us back to the place I ran too once we got there I took Tom off.

“Don't we sing on the rope to get across?” He asked “not today,” I say picking up Thomas like a bride, walking over to the edge of the river, I take a breath and turn my body like I was winding up by the the time I turned back around I threw him across the river he landed in some moss and seemed unphased I sigh and tir Smokey back up and like before I go rin from the lip of the forest and jump at the edge of the river, sticking s better landing. I walk over to Tom he smiles reaches his hand out for me, I laugh and take it guiding us through the trees and to the top of everything.

“Thank you for bringing me here Tord,” “no problem,” I say, we watch the sunset and I start to hesitate, I felt more jumpy all of a surprise once I hear Tom sigh I felt a little more relaxed “Tord?” “Yes?” “Do you remember the question I asked you yesterday?” “The one if I was gay?” “Yes,” “what about it?” “It's just I know what I am but it-” “what are you then?” “I- uhh am gay, well I at least think I am..” “you seem like it,” “I'm sorry if that's not what you like, I can chan-” “dont change,” I say looking at him, he looks at me caught in words then looks away “you can't be anything tho so I was just gonna say sorry for asking yesterday,” he said, I smile an grab his hand, he jumps and looks down.

I stay staring out but start smiling, I knew j was blushing but watching his reactions where the best “Tom to be honest I might have a hint in what i may be,” i say closing my eyes and tightening my grip on his hand “huh?” I laugh and take a sigh.

“I'm gay too. But I'm gay for you..♡”

Woo I made this go somewhere and I hate Tords father and Tom's Mother (you'll see soon). Who else besides me noticed that the titles of the chapters do not match up with the chapter itself 🤔.

Anyway guys this rabbit hole gets deeper just wait, I purple you and I'll see you all in the next chapter 💜💜💜
