Loving Him

Francis

"What are you doing here"? I whisper as he walks towards me. He looks at me, slightly frustrated. "I couldn't stay away". I sigh. "Its too dangerous for you to be here, the prince knows". He looks frantic. "Knows what"? "About you, I mean he doesn't know who you are j-". He grabs ahold of me. "Why on earth did you tell him"! I frown. "I didn't mean to, it just came out". He looks at me, seriously. "We need to move, I have to get you out of here". I scoff. "And why do you assume that I will go anywhere with you"? I struggle against his grip. "Because you are in danger, please just let me help you". I groan. "I don't understand, why?, whats so dangerous about the prince"? "You wouldn't believe me if I told you". I look at him. "Just tell me". He shakes his head. "Not now, we need to leave". He persists, leading me away from the palace. "How do I know that you won't hurt me". He scoffs, looking over to me. "I would never". I laugh, not believing him. He growls but keeps walking. After what felt like miles, I feel myself feeling faint. I see him looking at me worriedly. "Whats the matter"? "I don't think I can walk much further". He nods and looks around, then to me. "Close your eyes". I look at him confused. "Why"? "Just do it". He says and I nod. I close my eyes and feel a whoosh of wind. 

When I open my eyes we are somewhere else completely. I look around, utterly confused. "Wha- where are we"?! "Calm down please, we are in Scotland". I look at him, like he's crazy. "How is this possible?, we were just in London". "I will explain everything, please come on, we are almost there". He says, walking once more. "Where"? "My palace". I raise an eyebrow. "You have a palace"? He nods and soon we are at the entrance, he opens the doors and guides me inside. After closing the door he looks at me. "Now how about you get some rest"? He says, persistently. I shake my head. "No I want to know what you know now". I say crossing my arms, stubbornly. He sighs. "The prince is very dangerous". "So you've said before, but why is that so"? "Because he just is, he is very powerful". I scoff. "And your point being"? He looks at me, curiously. "You've fallen for him, my thats very bad". "I don't understand you, the prince may be very powerful and sometimes very rude and harsh, but I know that he is a good man underneath". He laughs. "Why must you protect him, did you forget what he ordered his guards to do to Rebecca"? I sigh. "No I haven't, but I have forgiven him, he plans on making it right". He smirks. "Yes well, him making it right will definitely not be to your satisfaction". "What do you mean"? He looks at me. "He will most definitely have her killed and make up an excuse as to why she won't be returning". I gasp. "No, I-I don't believe you". I say, backing away from him. "Elena please, stop this, I just want to protect you". "Protect me"?!, no you want to destroy my belief in the prince, that he is in fact a good person, I can't believe anything you say, I won't, I'm to wed him an-". He cuts me off. "Stop". He growls, clearly aggravated. "I won't let that happen Elena". I scoff. "Why are you set on this"? He comes closer to me. "You don't belong with him Elena, you should be with someone worthy". I laugh. "And what thats supposed to be you"? He looks at me seriously. "Perhaps". I shake my head. "Stop this nonsense alright, besides I don't even know you". "Well then we should change that". I roll my eyes. "I don't have time for this, I need to get back before he notices that I'm gone". I say, heading to the door, but he grabs my wrist, stopping me. "Stop". He growls. I glare at him. "Let me go". He pulls me close. "No". I sigh. "I can't deal with this, I have to go back to him, my father arranged it, I have to go through with it". "You don't have to go through with anything, in fact you won't, I won't allow it". I laugh. "You won't allow it?!, what gives you the right to command me around"! I struggle against his grip. "Elena". He growls and I look at him, agitated. "You can't be with him, he will hurt you, he is a vampire". I look at him, shocked. "Excuse me"? He nods. "Vampires aren't real". I state and he laughs. "Yes they are". "Let me guess witches and fairies exist to"? I smirk. "Not sure about fairies but yes witches do exist". He says, calmly. Once I realize that he was being serious, I feel faint, I take deep breaths. He looks at me, worriedly. "Elena"? "I can't breath"! I screech. He lets me go and I sit on the floor, trying to breath. "What can I do Elena, tell me". He says, looking at me concerned. I don't say anything for a few moments, then I speak. "Are you one as well"? I don't look at him, knowing the answer. "Yes". "W-why did you take me here"? "I told you Elena, he's dang-". I stand up and glare at him. "And you're not"?! He sighs. "Elena I would never hurt you, I-". "Stop, just stop". I say, as I plop on the bed. "I need to rest, I-I can't see you right now". He sighs, nodding. "Get some rest Elena, I will see you in the morning". I watch him leave and I close my eyes, falling asleep. 

I wake up what seems like hours later, I look at the clock, only five hours of sleep. I groan and sit up. Suddenly I hear a commotion downstairs "Where is she"?! I hear Damians voice. "Oh no". I think. "She's staying here Damian". I open the door quietly and look downstairs, I see Damian and his men. I stay hidden, will listening. "Like hell she is Francis, she's mine"! Damian yells. "She is my mate, you know that". "Not for long, the great witch will change that". Damian states. Francis looks at him furiously. "You can't do that". Damian laughs. "I can and I will, consider this your punishment". Francis growls. "I didn't kill our father Damian"! I gasp, they suddenly look up seeing me. "Damn it". I think. Francis looks up to me worriedly and Damian speaks. "Love come here now". He says, looking at me. "Elena don't". Francis says. Damian growls. "What have you done to her?!, she won't even look at me, guards get her". I gasp, as the guards come up the stairs. "No leave me alone"! I yell, going back to the room and slamming the door. I move a dresser against it, I look around the room, only a balcony, great. I head out to the balcony and gulp looking down. I wouldn't survive that. I quickly get the curtains down and tie them to the balcony and start climbing down, holding onto the curtains tightly. I hear the doors burst one and move more quickly, I suddenly lose my grip and feel myself falling. I scream. Suddenly Im caught by someone, I look up into Damians eyes. "Got you". He says, half smiling. I struggle against him, but he holds me tighter. "Let me down". He shakes his head. "We are going home now". I sigh. "Please don't hurt me". He growls. "I would never hurt you". "I know what you are Damian". I say. He looks at me, furiously. "Francis told you". I nod. He laughs. "That boy is dead". I gasp. "You can't!, his your brother". He looks at me. "No, he hasn't been my brother for a long time". He sets me down, but holds my wrist. "Lets go". I whimper as his grip tightens, leading me to a private plane. As we sit down, I see the castle go up in flames. I gasp. "No"! I stand up ready to head to the door but Damian grabs me. "Elena stop this". I glare at him. "I well never stop, I will fight until my last dying breath". He chuckles. "That may be very soon dear". I look, at him shocked. "W-what"? "Once the great witch bonds us, I must turn you for our bond to be eternal, so we can be together forever". He states. My breathing quickens, I start to see black spots, as I pass out.
