Chapter Three
Arlia reached for the handle of the door when suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist and spun her around pushing her against the wall. She gasped and looked up and right into Kael'thas's eyes.
"Crap"
"What do you think you're doing" he snapped as anger ran through him. His gripped tightened on her wrist and he saw tears rush to her eyes.
"Let me go you're hurting me" Arlia said trying to pry his hand off. He turned and started walking back toward her room dragging her behind him. At that point Arlia knew fear as she never did before. When he opened the door and through her in he followed and slammed the door, She gulped and backed up against the wall. He followed and layed his hands on either side of her head and lend down face to face with her.
"I told you not to try and escape that I would make you regret it" he growled out.
"Actually you just said it would make you angry" she whispered. He sighed and looked at her and noticed how truly fragile she is. He stood straight again and sat on the bed and looked up at her. He patted next to him and signaled for her to sit. She did and he looked over at her.
"Paladin I don't want to hurt you so please don't purposely try to make me angry" he told her moving a strand of hair from her eyes. She pushed his hand away and looked over at him.
"Nothing you could do would hurt me" she whispered looking at the ground.
"Oh you're just unhurt able is that what it is" he laughed "Everyone has something that will hurt them"
She shook her head no and looked at the ground. He frowned at her bow'd head. He stood up and walked in front of her and jerked her eyes up to his.
"I think I know something that would juts kill you"
"Really whats that" She asked her eyebrow arching up. He turned and started walking toward the door.
"Ill just pay a visit to your warlock friend" he lied as his hand reaced for the door knob. Fear entered Arlia she didn't want Velv to get hurt cause she try'd to escape why couldn't he just beat her. Before she could think about it she was across the room and gripping his free wrist.
"Please she didn't do anything don't hurt her"
Kael'thas turned toward the Paladin and saw the despiration in her eyes.
"But nothing I could do to you could possibly hurt you" he joked. She glared at him and released his arm.
"Fine what do you want" she asked and she realized she was actually scared to hear the answer. He walked up to her and layed his hands on her cheeks and smoothed his thumbs up and down. Arlia didn't pull away cause she didn't want to make him any more mad then he was.
"Your name" he whispered. She sighed that was all she figured it would be something else.
"Arlia" she replied pulling backwards to free herself from his hands but his fingures tangled in her free hair and pulled her back toward him.
"Arlia that's a beautiful name" the Prince replied starring down at her. She starred up at him and she realized she had never been this close to a guy before that wasn't a guild mate. Fear entered her she hadn't seen the glint in his eyes in any other guys.
"Ha uhh thanks" she said trying to back up but he wouldn't allow it. She gulped and put her hands against his chest and pushed.
"Can you please let me go" she asked looking up into his eyes. He smiled and shook his head no.
"Do you think all I want is your name" he said and he watched the fear enter her eyes. He watched her as she looked around the room for a escape and he smirked.
"Why so jumpy my dear"
She looked up at him and frowned then looked back at the ground. He doesn't need to know about her anymore then he does she thought. One of his hands went under her chin and lifted her face to his and the other twinned around her small waist and pulled her up against him. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. His lips pressed against hers and her eyes flew open. He smiled against her lips and massaged the back of her neck and Arlia found herself actually relaxing against his hold. Her hands moved from there place on his chest and slowly twinned around his neck as she relaxed against him. He pulled back and smiled at her and Arlia relised she just kissed the traitor Prince of the Blood Elves. What was wrong with her she cursed herself.
"Would you like to see Velvetak my dear" he asked. Arlia looked down at the ground and shook her head yes. He turned and opened the door and offered her his arm. Arlia looked at it then him and his smile seemed to calm her so she walked up and layed her hand in the crook of his arm. As they walked Arlia actually took the time to look around Tempest Keep. The place definatlly was made for royalty she thought. It was gourgous high cielings and beautifully decorated features. She glanced at Kael'thas from under her eyelashes and blushed. Why did she feel what she did he was a traitor. But god was he handsome she sighed and he looked down at her which caused her to blush and glance away out a window. He stopped and turned her to face him.
"Arlia I know you don't want…"
"My prince" a blood knight said as he ran up next to them "were under attack"
Kael'thas cursed and he turned toward the noise that just started reaching his ears. He turned toward Arlia and realized she was worried cause the comotion was the way of Velvetaks room. He sighed and looked at his knight.
"Get the rest of the army"
"Yes my lord" the knight answered bowing and running off. He looked down at Arlia and she glanced at him.
"Lets go get your friend"
The smile that hit her face was beautiful and she didn't try to hide it from him.
"Thank you"
He nodded and they ran toward the noise and the screaming of his blood knights. When Arlia hit the top of the stairs leading down toward the comotion she heard someone call her name. She looked down and her mouth dropped.
"Arlia" Strinnity yelled again as he cursed one of the blood knights that was charging him causing the knight to fall over in pain. Her eyes widened and Kael'thas looked down at her and he grabbed ahold of her wrist. She looked up at him.
"I swear I didn't know it was them"
The anger that was radiating of him was terrifying to see. She saw the fire that was burning in the depths of his eyes and Arlia reacted. She pryed herself free from him and ran down the stairs toward her guild members.
"Guys you got to leave" she yelled when she reached them. Tryce's arms wrapped around her and he looked at her.
"Were not leaving without you and Velve"
"No please he can kill you all with no problem you need to leave he wont hurt me but he will you" she pleaded as he was walking down the stairs toward them. Strinnity looked over at the Traitor Prince and being another magic user could sense the power and his jaw dropped.
"Shes telling the truth but I cant leave without Velvetak" Strinnity said as he glanced at Arlia.
"Guys please leave ill try to talk him into letting Velv go but you need to leave now before you get hurt" she pleaded literlly trying to push them out through the doors.
"Is it getting hot" Kar asked and Arlia looked over at Kael'thas and she could see the flames in his eyes as he looked at her guild members. She realesed them and ran to him grabbed his arm.
"Kael'thas" she said actually usuing his name for the first time since they meant.
He didn't even look at her.
"Kael'thas please don't hurt them Ill do anything they are just trying to protect me and Velvetak please. Ones Velve's boyfriend and the others are great friends please Im begging you"
He stopped and looked down at her and raised his hand to her cheek. Her guild members stood there with no fear. He looked at them and sighed.
"Leave now" he snapped. Strinnity stepped forward and crossed his arms.
"Im not leaving without the girls"
Kael'thas went to step toward the insolent warlock but the grip Arlia had on his arm stopped him. He glanced down at her.
"Kael'thas can you just let Velve leave please I know Strin hell stay here forever intill you give him his girlfriend back"Arlia pleaded she was terrified she didn't want anything to happen to her guild members "Please what do you want anything"
Kael'thas looked over at the many men that had come to there rascue and sighed. He turned to Arlia and looked down at her.
"Fine they can take the warlock but you have to stay here. Till I say otherwise and if they try to do this again I will kill them understand"
Arlia shook her head yes and Kael'thas turned toward one of his Knights.
"Go get the Lock"
"Yes my Prince" he said as he ran off down a corridor. Kael'thas turned back toward the males and noticed Arlia had moved over by them and had her arms around one in a hug. He watched them pull apart and the Rogue glanced at him then back at her and handed her something.
"Thanks Sardys you didn't have to do that" she said
"Arlia its from all of us were just happy your alive when Kar said it was Kael'thas that had you we thought you two were dead"
Velvetak came walking into the room and when her eyes landed on Strinnity she ran straight at him and through her arms around his neck and hugged him.
"How are you guys not dead"she asked looking around from Strinnity's arms.
"Arlia" they all replaid.
"You guys beter get going before he changes his mind" Arlia said they all hugged her and she walked back to Kael'thas. She sighed as she watched her guild mates leave without her. He looked down at her and saw the sadness in the depths of her green eyes.
"Lets go" he said as he started back up the stairs. Arlia glanced at the door one more time and followed behind him. He opened the door to her room and she walked inside and went to the window and leaned down on the sill. Kael'thas watched her then sighed and shut the door.
