I CAN BE YOUR HERO
Challenge Fic
Music by Enrique Iglesias
A Note: I was really sappy and angsty when I wrote this..hope its not to awful!
Marguerite hurt. Not just her body, which had been bruised, beaten and abused, but her soul hurt as well. She had been captured by slavers and dragged half way across the plateau before Roxton had finially tracked her down and resuced her. She had some nasty gashes on her back from the whip of the sadistic leader along with her brusied cheek.
Wispered:
let me be your hero....
Now she lay on blankets, bundled up by the fire. Roxton sat beside her, but to far away to be considered to sit "with" her. His entire body was ridged. She was sure he hated her for making him come half way across the damn plateau to get her.
Would you dance, if I asked you to dance
would you run, and never look back
would you cry, if you saw me crying
would you save my soul tonight
would you tremble if I touched your lips
would you laugh, oh please tell me this
now would you die, for the one you love
hold me in your arms tonight
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
you can take my breath away
Roxton's mind was filled with violent emotion. How dare they hurt her? This woman, so full of light and life, how could anyone imagine damaging that spirit, so fragil, trying desperately, fighting tooth and nail just to survive? He was afriad to turn around, afriad she'd see his pain.
would you swear, that you'll always be mine
would you lie, would you remain mine
am I in too deep, have I lost my mind
I don't care you're here tonight
I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
you can take my breath away
"John..please..I'm sorry.." She wispered softly, tears filling her beautiful grey eyes. "Please...."
The pure pain in her voice made him turn and he instantly wanted to kick himself. Nothing had happened to him. He hadn't been beaten and tortured and terrified half to death and here he was, unable to think beyond his own fear. Immedately he was beside her drawing her gingerly into his arms.
oh, I just wanna hold you
I just wanna hold you, oh yea
am I in too deep, have I lost my mind,
I don't care, you're hear tonight
I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
you can take my breath away
He held her all night, wispering endearments as she sobbed against him. Every shield, every defense was down as she cried, and then laid in his arms, allowing him to comfort her and her battered body. The morning would change things. They'd have to talk, seriously talk but for now...it was simply enough to hold on to each other and listen to each other's hearts beat in time, knowing they beat for each other.
I can be your hero baby,
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
you can take my breath away
you can take my breath away
I can be you're hero.
