Chapter 7
May slowly made her way through the crowd and waited for Drew's distraction 'Why would he do this for me? I just properly met him and now he's helping me escape' May thought as she slowly walked.
Drew looked around for someone who would easily lose their temper, despite his cocky demeanour Drew had a great sense on character.
Drew spotted a small group of buff guys and decided they would work.
Drew shoved one of them before ducking behind the other… and then he hauled ass as one tackled the other and a full on brawl started.
The second the guards left May slipped threw one of the doors and bolted to the garden area.
Drew smiled when he saw her leave and was about to follow but stopped when he noticed his brothers smirking at him "Screw off" me mouthed to them before following May.
Fallen watched the whole thing with a smile, it sort of reminded him how he and Mays mother use to escape from parties.
May stopped when she reached the beginning of the rose hedge maze "Why hello princess" a voice said behind her. May turned around with a big smile but I disappeared when a hand grabbed her throat.
May looked at the tall man, he was wearing a cloak so she couldn't see his face but his light blue eyes were burning in the moon light "I must say that you are a lot more beautiful than you are rumoured to be" he said as he raised her off the ground "Please… let… go" May wheezed out as he vision was starting to turn hazy.
The man smiled "No" before his hand squeezed tighter.
May could feel herself going unconscious "Help" she wheezed out before her hands went limp.
The figure dropped her when a sudden pain impacted on his back "What the hell are you doing to her?" Drew asked with rage that would scare satin himself.
The figure just laughed and stepped over May before a Drifloon appeared and carried the man off.
Drew ducked down to May and shook her "Hey wake up" he said as he shook her… but she had no response.
Drew swore under his breath before he tilted her head up 'She owes me bigtime for this' he thought before he blocked her nose and opened her mouth. He blushed red before he came down and tried to make her breath again.
May's eyes shot open as she took in a sharp intake of air before she fell back to sleep. Drew picked her up and ran towards the castle. Just before he reached the doors he was stopped by someone "Sire" Drew said with wide eyes as he felt awkward holding his unconscious daughter.
Fallen walked over and took May from him "Come with me" Fallen said before walking towards May's room.
Fallen placed May on her bed and kissed her forehead before he walked over to Drew "I thank you for saving my daughter" he said as Drew just stared at him "Umm it's okay I'm sure anyone would have done the same thing" Drew said with a sweat drop slowly trickling down the side of his face.
Fallen glanced back at May before he looked at Drew "My daughter seemed like she knew you back at the party… did you meet her when she would sneak out?" he asked. Drew was a little taken back that the king knew "Uh yes but how did you know she would sneak out?" he asked. Fallen smirked "Who did you think got her the dress?" he asked and Drew nodded with an understanding look.
Fallen glanced back at his daughter worried "Would you be willing to protect my daughter when she leaves the castle?" the king suddenly asked. Drew was definitely surprised at how calmly the king said that "Umm are you sure… you just met me and I only met her properly tonight?" the king chuckled "I have a feeling you're the kind of person who wouldn't let anyone hurt the ones he's close to" he said with a kind smile.
Drew mulled over the king's offer "Can you give me a few days to think about it?" Drew asked to which the king nodded.
The king ended the ball and sent everyone home "I know you wouldn't hurt her" Fallen mumbled as he watched Drew walk off with his brothers.
Ash poked Drew's shoulder "I saw you talking to the princess" he said as Kenny joined in with teasing their brother "Yea so?" Drew said with the slightest blush over his cheeks.
Drew was welcomed home the next day with his father and the king having tea "Ah Drew the king was just telling me how you saved the princess last night" Anthony said with the family smirk "I was just being nice" Drew lied as he felt his face heating up from what he did.
The king smiled and placed his cup down "So Drew have you accepted my offer yet?" Fallen asked as he stood up and placed a hand on Drew's shoulder.
Drew looked at the king before sighing "You're not going to take no for an answer are you?" he asked and the king answered with a simple "No" and a smile.
Drew sighed again before saying "Fine I accept your offer to protect May" the king smiled "Oh and when your outside the castle please address her as Haruka" the king added before he walked out the door.
Ash and Kenny entered the room and gave teasing looks to Drew "May and Drew sitting in a tree" they said but couldn't finish because Drew had grabbed a chair and was now chasing the two of them in the backyard.
Hope you liked it :)
