Rule for Freedom

Chapter 25

Xena's POV

I can't believe who is in front of me. This person is the one who made me feel happy when I'm alone. It's been years since I last saw him.

I ran to him and jump to him, hugging him tightly. It's been so long since the last touch I received from him.

My tears fell and I cried feeling happy at what is happening right now. I felt Caleb's lips fall 20 times on my head. I felt happy because of how passionate and delicate he can be when it comes to me.

I saw Link looking at us with a satisfied gaze. I smiled at him and mouthed thank you. He nodded at me and he walks away leaving me and Caleb for privacy.

Caleb pushed away from me and touched my face delicately. His touch is so comforting. I missed this feeling of being protected by my brother.

"Xena...I'm sorry if I left you. I'm sorry if I got late to come ho-" I shush him by putting my finger to his lips before he could continue.

"Caleb it's fine the important thing right now is were together again," I said smiling and he hugged me very tightly again.

"You're a right little cupcake. Your right." He said very caringly. "Stop crying baby girl. It really hurts me seeing you cry.

A moment passes by and I stopped crying. I noticed that Link is guarding us by looking at the city. I felt some urge inside me to tell Link how grateful I am. He helped me so many times and he is even willing to end his damn life to save me.

I pulled away from Caleb and he gave me a curious look. I smiled at him and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Link.

"Did you flirt while I'm not here?" He said in his protective tone. I felt my cheeks warm by the feeling of embarrassed.

"You did, did you?" He said crossing his arms. I smacked his chest and he groaned.

"No, I didn't so you don't have to worry," I said and he felt a little relaxed.

"Good, I thought you didn't remember what rules I've taught you." He said looking at me with a stern face.

I remembered everything about what me and Link did the past few weeks. He was like...-

"Did you!?" I heard Caleb shout and I jump. I didn't think that I doze off.

"Of course I remember. I remember everything you taught me." I said confidently.

"Okay, then what are those rules? Enumerate them."
I sighed and started to think about what he has said to me.

"Don't worry I didn't do anything bad, so just chill." When I said that he smiled and hugged me again.

"We have to go." We heard Link and we both let go and nodded.

I saw Link with his mad expression and I furrowed my eyebrows. "He's near is he?" I said and Link nodded.

"We better go." I said to them and we ran to Viel. But Caleb froze and held my hand. I looked at him and his face was a little nervous.

I smirked and walked to him then held his hand. "It's ok, he's a friend. Trust me." I said and he nodded. "I trust you." He said and we both rode Viel.

Viel immediately flew away and veins are tied at us.  I smiled at Zero and said thank you. I looked at Caleb who is very confused.

"I have so numerous question to ask you Caleb. I said and he looked at me with struck in his eyes.

"I have my own questions to ask you too later." He said with a determined face.

After an hour we finally arrived at the mansion. Link hopped down and he raised his hand to me. I was accepting it when suddenly Caleb took it and glared at Link with his don't hit on my sister face.
