“You are far too weak and innocent to see past his deception, Amora, and I’m going to protect you from him no matter what it takes!” I was taken aback by his words. Did he really just call me ‘weak’ and ‘innocent’?!
Before I could do or say anything, Undertaker gently pushes me behind him as he stands in front of Edward. “I suggest you redefine your definition of weak and innocent. Speaking of which, doesn’t that break the code of chivalry? You’re supposed to respect her not degrade her!”
When Edward didn’t say anything, Undertaker continued on. “Was she weak when she escaped from her captors?! Was she weak when she continued to live after she was shot?! Was she weak when she survived her house fire?! Or how about when she killed everybody where she was held captive at?! I suggest you watch who you’re talking to and try to mess with. You don’t know a damn thing about her or what she is capable of! It’s obvious to me that you don’t respect her whatsoever because if you did you wouldn’t be trying to keep her from being happy!”
I rub my hands down his back, around his hips and up to his chest as I hug him from behind. He then brings his hands to mine and holds on to them as he continues on. “There is so much more she has been going through, and she continues to fight through every obstacle being thrown her way. She is far from weak! She is so unbelievably strong, brave, resilient and extraordinary. Amora is by far the strongest person I have ever known, so get your facts straight the next time you call someone weak.”
I have never seen him get so heated up, he was always one of those who was almost impossible to make mad. “Of course I respect her, that is why I’m going to make sure she doesn’t marry someone like you! There is no reason for you to be with her unless you want to ruin her life even more! You’re going to end up taking away everything she ever has and throw her out on the streets with absolutely nothing left in her life-”
“Edward Midford, that is quite enough out of you!” Aunt Francis yells as she tries to get him away, and I try holding Undertaker back. “You don’t love her just admit it! You’re just a lower class bloke who doesn’t deserve to have anyone in his life! She is of nobility, she can’t be marrying anybody outside her rank, so get your filthy hands off of her! It’s obvious to me she has been in far more danger being with you than when she was alone! Being with you is only going to get her killed!” I suddenly feel my hands being pried away as Undertaker is being pulled and tugged at.
Not being able to take this anymore, I pull Undertaker away and go towards Edward. Pulling him by his tie, I effortlessly throw him down to the ground and place my foot onto his chest. “I told you to never lay another finger on him again!” I seethed as I pull his tie towards me, forcing him to raise his head up. “Don’t you ever speak to him like that again, Edward, or so help me God I will make sure you regret it! You don’t know anything about me or him, so stop making up all these accusations about him!”
Before I could say anything else I feel myself being pulled away from him, and I tighten my grip on his tie. “Amora, let him go!” I hear Ciel shout.
“Not when he’s being a disrespectful little ass like this! Undertaker has absolutely nothing to do with everything that has been going on with me! Everything that has been happening is all because my business was put into the paper, making everyone that has been trying to destroy my life come after me again because they now know I’m still alive!”
“How is he supposed to protect you then, huh? You belong with someone who can protect you and make sure you’ll always be safe like me-”
“I would never want to be with you especially when you’re acting like this! Undertaker has been doing just fine protecting me even so, I can handle my own! The only person I will ever belong to is him, he holds my heart it will never be you! You’re the one who found someone else, and I have had enough of everyone telling me I’m supposed to be with you! I am my own person. I am Amora Phantomhive and I say that I belong with Undertaker!”
I struggle to break away from Ciel, so I can go after him again, but he wasn’t letting go. “Let me challenge him in a dual then and let me decide if he’s worthy enough to protect you!” He says as he pulls out his sword. “If he can defeat me then I just might consider allowing him to marry you! If I win, well I won’t have to see him marry you as he’ll be dead, and I’ll reclaim you as mine!”
Undertaker begins laughing hysterically, and I finally break away and run over to Undertaker as I jump on his back and wrap my arms and legs around him. He looks over at me and smiles as I place a kiss to his cheek.
“What use would I have fighting someone like you? It’s not worth my time and I’m most certainly not interested. I didn’t come here to fight anyone, only to support Amora as she wants for you all to attend our wedding, and so I can properly meet you all. I’ve always been the neutral type, and extremely hard to upset, but when it comes to my lady I refuse to sit by and let anyone mess with her!”
“Are you saying you can’t fight me? Are you worried you’ll lose?”
“Trust me, you will lose in a heartbeat.” I say as I look back over at Edward. “I’ll let him challenge you, but not with real swords. I wouldn’t want you getting yourself killed because you want to be reckless. If he accepts, you are to use those used in fencing!”
“Amora, I would never kill him. That’s never the impression I’d ever want to set for your family. I’m not going to sink to his level and play his childish games. You and I both know I’m perfectly capable of protecting you, I don’t need to play such a game to prove my worth for you.”
“If you won’t accept my challenge, then let her go! If you can’t be a man and fight for your lady you don’t deserve to have her!”
“Edward would you just shut your damn mouth for once?! If he doesn’t want to do something don’t be trying to force him into it! You wouldn’t want him doing that to me, would you?!”
“I’m with Edward on this. If he can’t fight for someone he claims to love, he doesn’t deserve to be with you.” We suddenly hear Uncle Alexis state. I feel Undertaker starting to tense up, and I carefully tighten my hold on him and lean into his ear. “Baby, you know I love you. Don’t let anyone make you do something you don’t want to do. I know you mean well.” I whispered.
“But it seems as though I don’t have a choice. I love you too, Amora.” He says quietly. I was starting to feel extremely guilty about this. None of this would have ever happened if we didn’t come here. “I’m so sorry, baby. This was all my fault. I promise I’ll make it up to you.” I say as I continue to whisper in his ear. “I’ll even let you have your way with me in bed. Whatever you want, I’ll do it.”
Looking back over to his face, I can see he was slowly starting to smirk. “Alright then. As it seems I’m given no choice but to do this, I’ll make sure to end it as quick as possible. I’m not going to waste any more time just to take it easy on him. As soon as I win, we’re leaving here.”
I'm sorry if this chapter isn't as good as my others. I'll try to make the next one better!
Let me know what you think! 🖤
