A Hero & A Waitress

Chapter 2

'Eyo, Guys! Here's #2! It's really short!

After the Battle, Adean and his Companions survived. Murdock, however, was killed in action. They all have prayed in silence after the fight to those whom's lives were taken by the dark creatures.

After that, Adean was desperate to know if Bella was Ok. After the prayers and such, he headed straight for the Tavern.

He opened the door and entered, he paced through, looking around. He saw a lot of patrons, but no Bella. He looked and didn't see Lloyd at the counter. His Rage hit the roof, knowing too well what has happened. He suddenly heard yelling coming from the back room, 'twas Lloyd. Adean stormed off to the room, drawing his sword in the process. He entered and saw Him cornering Bella. She was in tears and seeing her in this condition has set the record straight for Adean.

"So that man was going to walk into MY Tavern and threaten me in it? Do you know what I'm going to do to you?!" Lloyd yelled at Bella, holding a whip.

She kept whimpering, and muttering something. Adean stepped closer, silently. To hear her say;

"Adean..." She whimpered, "Where are you...?"

His eyes went wide, she needed him. He snarled at Lloyd.

"Take another step towards her and see what will happen." Adean told him.

Lloyd turned and saw him, then his expression went from angriness to fear.

Adean lined his sword up along his neck as he forced the man to back away from Bella.

"Get your ass out of here. If I see you again, You will not live to see another day." Adean told him.

The man nodded and stumbled backward, then ran out of the building. He waited until he heard the door shut.

He turned to Bella, who ran into his arms, crying. He held her tight as she soaked his leather armor.

She never felt safer anywhere else before other than in this man's protective arms.

"It's Alright, I'm here." He told her calmly, stroking her back.

She sobbed, "I was worried about you. When he called me in here and cornered me, I was calling out to you."

"I know, I heard you. I'm here for you, always remember that." He told her as he held her by the shoulders.

She nodded as she moved her head back, Adean moved his hands to her face and wiped the tears away with his thumbs, giving her a warm smile.

She smiled back, then pulled him in for a passionate kiss. She poured her feelings into the contact, intensifying it.

They separated, still linked in hands, Adean, once again, lost himself in her two emerald jewels.

She felt the need to say something, but she faltered in gathering the courage to do it. She took a deep breath. She had not said this to anyone before.

"I...Love You." Were the three words that knocked Adean off of his feet.

He smiled at her again, "And I love you, Bella."

Her heart fluttered, she felt happiness and Joy come into her life like never before.

"I guess the Tavern is yours now." Adean told her with a smile.

She smiled back, "I guess so."

"I'm sure you can run this place better than he can." Adean told her, directing at Lloyd.

"I'll try my best." She replied.

"And I'll come back again soon. I promise you that."

"I will be here waiting...My Love."

She reeled him in for another passionate kiss. They stayed together for a more few minutes.

"Ok, I will have to go. Teagan is waiting on me."

"Stay safe."

"I will try."

She smiled and nodded. Giving Adean a small heart attack from the beautiful face she formed. When she heard the door of the Tavern shut, she felt alone again, but she had a job to do. Tidy the place up.

"Time to get to work." She told herself, then walked out of the back room.

I apologize for the short one!
