Confessions

THE NEXT DAY

Evening had come once again and the night sky was just the same as ever, cold and dark with the stars shining as Trinity entered the training grounds where they agreed to meet.

The two then seeing each other began towards one another when they were about three metres away from one another they both drew their weapon and attacked head on. 

Sparring still with one another after a good thirty minutes, Trinity swung her sword in an arc to block the attack from Sir Plucki, but he was too quick. Using his staff he then blocked another attack from Trinity before swinging it low and knocking her down from underneath her feet.

Getting up again from the second she hit the ground she blocked and dodged a few more of his attacks, though she did put in a few of her blows in every now and then. When she was then knocked to the ground again by Sir Plucki, but whilst knocking her feet from underneath her she had managed to grasp his staff. Instead of falling backwards she was flung forward and landed on top of Sir Plucki, having managed to knock him successfully to the ground as well.

Trinity was suddenly flustered at the position they were in but was even more so when he reversed the position, still training he grasp her wrist and pinned them above her head, then looking at her, realised what position they were in.

Trinity felt her heart skip a beat, her stomach began to flutter and her breathing became shallow as she stared into his black onyx eyes. Studying what was once unreadable eye's Trinity could clearly see now an unknown emotion in their, shining so dark, she presumed it was passion, along with several other emotions that he would not usually show openly.

Sir Plucki eye's bore into Trinity's eyes and into her very soul, and was surprised to see the love that she clearly held for him and him only. His hand then raised to push a strand of her golden hair behind her ear whilst the other held both of her wrists firmly above her head, enabling her from doing anything, their faces just inches apart. He watched as Trinity shivered slightly, her gaze never once straying from his eyes. Slowly and unsurely his hand reached up to caress her face then lightly brush her lips. He released his grip on her wrists as he brought her closer to him, closing the gap between them once again. He held her close to him as her hands traced and caressed his face before finally resting around his neck.

Both of them looking in each others eyes seeing each others displaying the longing they felt for each other. Slowly their eyes closed as they inched forward till their lips met and they melted into a passionate kiss.

Trinity felt a mix of emotions, she'd thought of this moment for so long and it was finally happening, she only hoped that this was not a mistake as she pulled him towards her deepening the kiss.

This whole thing felt so right to Sir Plucki no one had ever made these emotions surface except for Trinity. She was all he ever wanted and he wanted to be with her yet his duties, as a knight would not allow it. Being a knight would make complications for himself and his mate so he had sworn he wouldn't take one. So with that thought in mind he abruptly broke the kiss, stood up pulling Trinity up with him, but held her away from him at arms length by the shoulders.

Trinity observed Sir Plucki with a hurt look feeling rejected but, since she couldn't talk having her breath taken away from her, she stood there looking at him expecting an explanation at the sudden abrupt

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that" he replied, inhaling a deep breath trying to get his breath back.

Trinity looked at him and could see his eyes were closed and his breathing was swift and shallow.

"Why?" she choked out as her eyes began to become glassy.

An awkward silence past between them when finally Sir Plucki looked up and met her gaze,

"Because five hundred years ago I swore to myself that I would not love, knowing that with my continuous absence I will never be there for them, and I don't want to see them get hurt" he replied lowering his eyes.

"But I am around you everyday, it just I find the forest much quieter and peaceful" she replied.

Relief flooded Sir Plucki sensing the change of subject getting them out of their awkward position, but he knew that they would eventually have to talk about it. Also hearing her mention of the forest he thought that now would be a good time to ask and find out why and how she was disappearing out of their sight.

"What do you do in the forest," he asked.

"My training, to increase my skill with my sword" she replied

"And how does M'lady sneak out of Gummadoon without being seen by any of us" he asked flashing her a smile.

"Ah, now that I cannot tell you, for what fun would it be for me" she replied with an evil smirk as she stepped up closer to him, closing the gap between them again.

"M'lady, we need t-" a finger placed on his lips cut him off as she spoke

"Sshh, my love" she said as her arms went around his neck, whilst his hands rested around her waist.

Sir Plucki found himself not wanting to push her away from him even though he knew he probably should. Thinking over everything that had happened since Trinity had come to them and about his promise he made his choice. That he was going to take his chance with this one, but if anything happened then he would end the relationship and seal up that emotion forever making sure no one came that close to him again, well anyone except children. The two then parted both going their separate way, happy that the day had ended and that they had found one another.

THREE WEEKS LATER

Night began to approach as the sky darkened to it usual dark midnight blue combined with a chestnut brown, and the stars sparkling.

Sir Plucki was in his room, his head in his hands and looked to be thinking about something, though at the same time he looked deeply worried and concerned. He had noticed that Trinity was becoming more tired than usually, and had heard her complain of a slight headache, and pains in her stomach, he had noticed that every day her illness was gradually getting worse but what cause this he did not know. He stood from the table that he sat at as he made way out of his room and down to hers to see how she was doing.

Trinity laid very still on her bed, fast asleep, occasionally shivering, or beginning to shake. Sweat beaded on her brow, her eyes screwed shut trying to concentrate on the pain, which caused agony to her. Her hands laid and rubbed on her abdomen trying to ease the pain without much success. The pain it caused mocked her senses so she didn't hear the soft footfalls of someone walking down the corridor towards her. A wave of nausea hit her, but she ignored instead it double her pain as she let out a weak yelp in agony. She could now hear hurried footsteps, as her door flew open and she felt someone by her side.

Sir Plucki stood by her side and could well see that she was in a great deal of pain, had she not been in this much pain he would of considered taking her to sick bay, but he didn't know whether he would cause more pain for her if he did.

Watching as she arched her back, whimpering at the pain, before collapsing back onto the bed. Sitting on the bed next to her he pulled her close to him and let her lean against him, as he observed her he could see the main area that caused her the pain was her stomach, which was covered with her hands. Not wanting to see her in anymore pain, he replaced her hands with his own, her hands placed above his as he began to massage the area. After a few minutes he saw she was beginning to relax and guessed that had worked. Then observing her face and into her eyes her could see the pain that reflected in them, but also that her eyes were several shades darker, her hair was now pure golden minus the white streaks, she was changing.
