Chapter 4: Battlefield

Musa stared into Riven's eyes from the top of the little hill she was standing on, she was transformed into her enchantix and had the royal sword of Melody tightly held in her hand

The war would begin as soon when the sun rose, which was only a few minutes away, the war between Melody and Elementis, would soon start

Riven scanned all the troops that were fighting for Melody and couldn't help thinking that he had less than them, and then finally his eyes fell upon the love of his life

Even though they were far apart he could still see the tears in her eyes, she looked beautiful just standing there in her enchantix and he couldn't help but want her more

Musa bowed her head and then a loud horn could be heard, this symbolised the start of the war

Riven hadn't taken his violet eyes of her but when he saw that she had already started her charge he snapped back out it and signalled for his soldiers to move forwards too

There were soon cannons fired and swords clashed with each other and the horses neighed loudly as their riders fought brutally with opponents

Musa and Riven stopped running when they were face to face, as the leaders of their armies they had to fight each other but none of them seemed able to even lift their swords

Musa's eyes suddenly widened and she raised her hand and a purple shield appeared in front of Riven's face and when Riven looked he saw an arrow stuck in her shield

Musa turned around to face the soldier that had aimed for Riven's eye and she glared at him, Riven gasped when he realised what she had just done

"Why did you do that?" he whispered, although it was hard to be heard because of the metal colliding and shouting

Musa's eyes met with his and she starred deeply into them, "Wouldn't you have done the same?" she asked softly

Riven smiled and his eyes sparkled as he looked at her, and then he laughed quietly, "Yeah...but I don't have magical powers"

Musa looked at the ground and smiled a little and suddenly she felt Riven touch her waist gently, this made her jump a little

She watched as his feet stepped closer to her, "Would you have let the arrow hit me?" she asked looking up

Riven hovered his forehead against hers, "Never..." he said softly and then smiled down at her

Musa started trembling, she itched to kiss him and let him hold her, but she knew it was impossible

They were stood in the middle of a battlefield but weren't even fighting and that's when their parent's realised they were getting too close

"Riven, finish her off!"

Riven jumped and unwrapped his arm from Musa's waist, Musa also looked up to find Riven's father flying above them in his royal helicopter

"Musa, take advantage, strike him!" Musa's father commanded her. Musa looked to the ground and her lips quivered, she didn't want to let her father down but she didn't want to hurt Riven

She sighed and then flew up mid way into the air, and shot an attack at Riven making it miss him purposely

"What are you doing? Concentrate!" her father shouted from his ship, which was floating above the battlefield

"I can't..." Musa breathed quietly to herself, she saw Riven struggling on the ground and she felt the same way, then she slowly flew back to the ground and looked at Riven who was clutching his sword and looking at the ground

She breathed and sang:

Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love
And suddenly it's like a battlefield

One word turns into a war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down?
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm not here without a shield
can't go back now...

Both hands, tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
a battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like...?

Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender then we both gonna lose
What we had, oh no

Both hands tied behind my back with nothing
Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?

I guess you better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour
I guess you better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour
I guess you better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends tonight
(Oh, oh, oh)
And in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright
'Cause baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like

A battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield

I guess you better go and get your armour

I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
(Fighting, fighting for)

Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield, a battlefield?

I guess you better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour
I guess you better go and get your armour
(Get your armour)
Get your armour

Why does love always feel like?
Why does love always feel like?
A battlefield, a battlefield

I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for...

Riven wiped the tears off Musa's face and starred into her eyes, "I'm not gonna hurt you..." he whispered, "I promise"

Musa sniffled and gave him a small smile; "Th-Thanks and I won't either..." she spoke hoarsely

Riven smiled back and reached for the water which was being carried in his belt and hand it to her, "Here"

"Thanks..." Musa said and she drank it, "We're gonna have to fight because our parents are watching..." she explained

"Ever heard of pretend fighting?" Riven said smirking, Musa giggled a little and then flew up into the air, "Make sure you don't kill yourself!" he shouted at her

"Tell yourself that and don't worry about me!" Musa said winking, "Sonic blast!" she fired a magic orb at Riven, who dodged it with ease

They fought each other, occasionally getting hit purposely to make it look real, but sunset soon approached and none of the sides had won because their leaders were still alive

As soon as the sun disappeared behind the mountains, the horn blew again and this time it symbolised the end of the war but unfortunately no-one had won

"Nice fighting with you" Riven said proudly and shook hands with Musa, he was smiling happily down at her and was relieved that she was still alive

"Likewise" Musa said and smirked and then Riven quickly kissed her hand, and then she flew up into her father's ship

Song: Battlefield by Jordin Sparks, this is the song that inspired me to write this story!

Awww, they didn't fight each other but pretended! How sweet!

Wonder what their parents are going to think?

Hope you enjoyed that chapter!
