/MARE/
As he leans in I can feel the heat grow more and more. Closing my eyes I just let him do what he wants to do. Do I want this? Does he want this? Why is everything so hard? His hand cups my face and his thumb rubs below my ear. Rhythmically. Slowly. It's soothing. As he lips brush mine a different type of electricity runs through me. One that does not bring hurt and pain but one that fill me to rim of warmth and and...I don't know. I don't know what to call this emotion. Does he have it too? The brushing becomes more feverish and our lips move together as if they've been doing it for years.
Pulling away we both gasp for breath. He looks at me through hooded eyes and blushes. I will never get tired of watching him blush. It's not red like my blush. But purple. Like my lightning. I try to tell my self that it's fate. A way for us to always be connected. I blush red like his fire and he blushes purple like my lightning. But thats silly.
Looking away I can feel heat rising up my throat. My own blush. But I also feel damp under my eyes. "Was it so bad?" Cal quizzes before me. He tries to joke but he's hurt. I do t want to hurt him anymore. It would be best if I wasn't here. I wouldn't hurt anyone anymore. "Mare?"
"No, no it wasn't bad. It was nice...I just...I just don't know how to feel. I thought you hated me, or at least disliked me. And I thought you wouldn't want me anymore. I'm sorry i just, just don't know what wrong anymore." More tears cascade down my face and I feel the bed shift. Hot thumbs rub them away as if they were never there to begin with.
"I know. These few days have been confusing. Being let out of the cell, I thought I hated you. But I realise your just a kid. Younger than me and you were coerced into behaving how your not. We've all had to grow up faster than what we are and I don't hate you. Not now not ever. I actually find you quite charming." I laugh. Charming. Only he would use a word like that. A word to describe something like me as charming.
I hug him hard. Scared he's going to leave or disappear. That I was never here to begin with and this is all some sick game Elara has conjured up to hurt me. His embrace tightens and we stay like that. As time passes people walk in and out the room. Neither of us let go. Afraid that the other will leave if some let goes.

She shakes and shakes. I want her to be safe. We are both pawns in a game out of our control now. I know she's not though. Anthony...Who is he? What did she exchange for my freedom? Maven...he was not stop until he has her. He's sick. Twisted. All his fucking mothers fault. But if I had been a better brother than maybe this would have never happened.
The door bangs open. Louder and more violently that any of the other times. A tall blonde man stands in the door way. He's broad but I'm broader. His black eyes locate Mare and he never wavers. I know she looked away. But he won't. "You should go...I have somethings to discuss about you outing with miss Barrow." His voice is gruff. He's probably my age or a little older. Looking at Mare her eyes tell me not to leave her with him. Ever.
"And you are?" My curiosity gets the best of me.
"Anthony. And you the sliver. Now leave." I straighten the Prince in me not taking kindly to being ordered around. Get used to it. Your their soldier now. He glares at me and then at Mare who shrinks back.
"I don't want him to go" she speaks up. Finally. Anthony's eye ticks. Like he's going to wink but just keeps going up and down. He looks like he's going to jump for her but just sinks into the chair at the side of the doorway he refused to leave not 5 seconds ago.
"Fine. As you know Barrow, I've allowed your 'friend' to be let out. As ling as no rules are broken. In return for if he miss behaves you at the one to be punished. While he's it done anything yet I feel you must know the consequences of his actions.
"1. You will be isolated from the base. Taken to the holders until such time I feel you should be let out.
" 2. You will be hurt. Whether it is at the hands of a fist or at the end of a whip will be to my choice on said day.
3. He will be made to watch. So he know the gravity of his actions and how they WILL be dealt with.
"Is this clear?"
My hand clenches I'm anger. How could she agree to something like this? It's barbaric. "I understand" swinging round to face her I hear the change move and the door close. Knowing he's left.
"Why? How? What the hell is eorng with you for goodness sakes?" I'm practical yelling at her. She's out of her mind. Bonkers. Kirlorn was right we fucked he up and now she thinks people must hurt for something they want.
"I couldn't leave you there to rot. You had to be let out.
I had to get you out. Cal please...I thoug-"
"You thought what? Huh? You thought you getting hurt would make me happy? You thought I would want this?"
"No I thought you wanted out of the room. I felt I deserved it."
I stop and stare at the broken human before me. The hollowness of her face and the blue under her eyes. She don't want to be here anymore. Having nothing left to say to her at the moment. I turn on my heel and swing the door open. As it closes behind me I hear her choke on a sob and will my self not to turn around. I walk down the corridor back to my room and go to have a shower.
