Rumpelstiltskin's Heir

I Didn't Want to Let Go

Auxiliator's POV

With one hand holding my sword, I barged into the supply room, where all the mops and cleaning supplies were. 

"Aldara!", I yelled, my eyes searching the room for her.

I heard a few movements from behind an enormous pile of pots. Then Aldara poked her head out from behind the pots. When she saw me, a wide smile grew on her face.

"Auxi ?"

A shot of relief ran down my body but it didn't last for long.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards me.

"We have to get out of here", I said

"W-what? Why?", she said letting me pull her out of the room. I looked from left to right in the hall, checking for soldiers. 

"Come on, follow me and stay close to me!", I said letting go of her. I held my sword in one hand and the other behind me, just in case I needed to shield her.We were getting close to my room, when I saw to guards in black armor walking our way. I pushed Aldara to the wall and put my finger at my lips, indicating to her to be quite. 

Aldara's POV

I was frightened, what the hell was going on? Auxi motioned me to be quite, and nodded silently. I watched closely as Auxi charged on the two soldiers and fought them. Where the hell did these soldiers come from? I knew that they weren't Dame Gothel's men, they were wearing different armor. Auxi knocked out the first and then the second knight, wow that was quick. Auxi motioned for me to follow, and soon I was at his side following him. We didn't meet any other soldiers after that, and Auxi took me to his room. Auxi rushed me in, and took one last look at the hall way before locking the door close.

"What going on?!", I asked nervously

Auxi beggn to walk back and forth, back and forth.

"Auxi! What is going on, you're scaring!", I said

Then Auxi came to a halt and asked me to sit down. I reluctantly sat down, as he knelled down and looked at me before talking.

Auxiliator's POV

I looked into Aldara's beautiful eyes, and I let everything pore out. I told her what had happened the night we had first kissed, I told her how Dame Gothel wanted revenge and I told her that Dame Gothel had called me to see her earlier today.

"And that-that was when Dame Gothel told me that she had sold you", I said watching the horror strike Aldara's face.

"Y-you m-m-ea-n she-she sold me?", Asked Aldara, fear flowing through her voice.

I nodded slowly, it hurt me to see her like this. It made my heart feel like it was about to brake in a million pieces. 

"W-w-at are w-we going t-to do?", she asked studding.

I shook my head, "I have no idea"

A tear rolled down Aldara's sweet face. I felt like, well I didn't know what I felt. All I knew was that I might lose her.

Aldara knelt down next to me.

"Oh Auxi", she whispered as she hugged me.

I held her tight, I didn't want to let go.

Then I we heard loud banging noises from the door. Aldara and I froze as we heard the knights on the other side of the door, yelling and banging the door. We slowly stood up. I held me sword ready. I turned to Aldara one last time and kissed her, she returned the kiss. I slowly pulled away and whispered in her ears.

"No matter what happens I will always love you. If something happens...I will find you, I promise."

Then the door fell open. Dozens of soldiers began to pile in. I fought one soldier after the other, fighting more than I could count at the time. Suddenly I felt my body go stiff, I began to float in the air. I tried to fight it off, but I couldn't move a muscle. Then Dame Gothel walked into the room, and I understood, she was using magic against me. I watched in horror as Aldara tried to fight off the soldiers in vain. After a few minutes the knights had a hold of Aldara. I was trying to fight out off the magic, but I couldn't move a muscle. Then a tall man, wearing black night armor and a golden crown walked in the room.

"I apologize on behalf of my men", he said giving the knights a hard look, and then turning to Dame Gothel with a small smile.

"Oh don't worry about it My Lord, no harm done", she said giving him a charming smile, a smile that I knew was fake.

The man smiled at Dame  Gothel before sneering at his men, "Good knights are so hard to come by."

"My Lord!", I heard Aldara yell out 

The man turned to her, a smile creepy smile growing on his face.

"Yes?", he asked taking two steps towards her. 

"What are you taking me? Who are you? What is going on?"

The man chuckled, "You are indeed young and beautiful", he cuddled her cheek with the back of his hand.

She pulled away, giving him a look of both fear and disgust.

The man chuckled once more, "You're a feisty one...I like that."

He turned around and the knights began to pull her towards the door.

"Wait!", yelled Aldara

The man turned around, with his brow raised, "Yes?"

"Am I, am I-I suppose to marry you?", she asked nervously

"Yes", the man said not moving from where he stood

"As-as a wedding present...may I say good bye to my friend", she pointed at me (I was still being held against my own will by Dame Gothel's magic) 

The man eyed me and Aldara until he said, "very well, my men will come in, back for you, you have 1 minute"

The knights followed the man out the door. Dame Gothel released me from her spell, and whispered before leaving, "Nothing funny, either of you"

When she left the room Aldara and I ran to each other. We hugged each other tightly neither of us wanting to let go.

"Aldara", I whispered. With one hand I still held her, with the other I brushed her hair.

"They're going to take me", she began to cry.

"Shhhh, it's going to be alright", I whispered in her ear, not letting go.

She began to sob in my arms, and I felt my own eyes filling with tears.

"Listen", I whispered, "Yes, they will take you, but I promise on my life, that I will find you, and when I do, I will rescue you."

I kissed her head, "I won't let him take you for long. But you need to be strong for me ok?"

Aldara nodded and looked up.

"I love you", I said, our eyes locking

"I love you", she responded

Then the doors opened. A dozen knights came in and once more my body went stiff. Dame Gothel came in with a cruel smile on her face. Since I couldn't talk, I mentally cursed at her. I watched helplessly as Aldara was taken from me. I shouldn't have let go.
