Kingdom of Lovers

By Dlynn

Hey awsome readers, remember the preview I posted up in the last chapter, well I spiced it up a bit for you guys. Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Also I have some bad news, my computer is seriously messed up, I'm trying my best to get these chapters updated, but it's almost impossible.

Chapter VIII

Prince Jacob Black:

"It's been days, shouldn't we've heard from Edward by now?" I sighed with frustration while pacing back and forth in my sitting room.

"Relax Jacob, I know Edward, he'll rescue your fiancee." Emmett was standing in the doorway.

"It should have been me out there,"

"But Jacob you're the crown prince."

"So as the future king I have to let other people risk their lives for me and I'm suppose to be happy with that?"

"For right now Jacob, all you have to do is hope."

"You're right, but to make sure I want you to ask Alice to see if both of them are all right."

"Yes your highness," Emmett bowed and then left.


Princess Isabella Swan:

"We should get the horse some water before he passes out from the heat," Edward told me as we stopped along the creek, he helped me off and then led the horse closer to the stream to drink from it. Both of us sat underneath a large oak tree in the shade. As I watched the horse drink from the stream, I couldn't help but notice that Edward was staring at me. I met his gaze and he smiled at me. "I have an idea," he told me.

"For what?" I asked.

"For if we have any trouble in the near future," Edward got up and went over to get something from his bag that was attached to the horse. After he came back, Edward handed me some type of large needle with a leather strap attached to it.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It may look like an ordinary needle, but it's actually quite deadly."

"How so?"

Edward pulled the needle out for me, "It can dismantle any organ, even the heart."

"You want me to have it?"

"I would feel better, if you have something that you can defend with."

"I don't really think I can stab anyone."

"Only if your life is in danger."

I nodded to him.

"Try to keep it concealled."

"I will thank you."


Sir Edward Cullen:

Bella excused herself to be alone, I waited by the horse and wondered what was taking so long. I headed over to see if she was ready to go. Although when I saw her behind trees, she had her dress up all the way exposing her whole leg as she attached the weapon to her upper leg.

My heart pounded, I was in shock to see how more beautiful she was. After she was done, I quickly rushed back to my horse. Soon Bella came back, I noticed her slightly clutching the large pin that's strapped around her upper leg over her dress. "Are you ready?" I asked.

Bella nodded shyly, "yes I'm ready."


Princess Isabella Swan:

When the day was nearing close to the evening, Edward decided to stop by a town, so we can rest more comfortably. As we grew close to the town I couldn't help but look at the sunset, it was beautiful. "Each sunset is never the same," Edward explained.

I nodded, "In Forks, it was almost impossible to see a clear sunset, because of all the rain."

"Well in La Push, you'll see enough sunsets."

I grew silent, the more I began to think about marrying the Prince, my stomach started making me feel uncomfortable. "You have no choice," a voice said in my head, the voice sounded similar to my father's. We were closer to the entrance of the town, but I noticed that Edward looked a little uneasy, "is something wrong Edward?"

He didn't speak, I felt his arm around my waist holding my closer and his breathing heavier, suddenly I heard something moving in the bushes, I was about to ask Edward again, but and arrow shot right in front me and flew past only an inch away from my face. I automatically screamed and Edward quickly sheilded my body from the other arrows pointing at us, he got the horse moving, but the arrows continued trying to hit us. At that moment I was almost in shock. All of a sudden, an arrow hit the horse and it was howling in pain, Edward quickly stopped and got us off, he took me down an alley to hide.

Edward saw I wasn't myself and he held me very close to him, I rested my head on his chest, I could hear his heart beating smoothly. As my body trembled, I heard Edward whisper in my ear, "I will never let anything happen to you, even if it costs me my life."

"Don't..." I grabbed his shirt to make sure I had his attention.

"What? Why?"

"Would you really sacrifice you life for my safty?"

"I'm a knight, it's my duty to protect you."

"The six soliders who were trying to escort me are already dead, I can't have anyone else die for me."

"Forgive me Bella, but I have no choice but to protect you."

"I FORBIDE YOU TO PROTECT ME," I shouted, tears began escaping down my face.

Even though I shouted at Edward, he still continued to hold me close, almost like he didn't hear what I just shouted.

"I don't want you to die because of me."

"Who says I'm going to die?" he asks, Edward lifted my chin to have me look at him, "You can't forbide me to protect you. Honestly you are the most akward person I've ever met. So you need to get use to me protecting you from now on, because I'm not going anywhere." He whiped the tears from my face and then Edward took out his sword and slowly took me down the alley. What is going on? Why is Edward being so loyal to me, most knights are never like this. At that moment I was very greatful that Edward was with me right now. We didn't run into any of the bandits after we got out of the other side of the alley.

"Lets keep moving." Edward took my hand and led me down the street. It was very quiet, I had a bad feeling that someone was going to jump out. My heart was beating rapidly, I clutched Edward's arm tightly, when we reached the center of the town, Edward stopped and went into a defensive mode.

Suddenly a dark figure emerged from the shadows, it was James, "Bravo," he applauded as he approached us. Edward kept me behind him, I clutched his shirt, because I believed my mind would go over a cliff if James was going to take me again. "Well done Jack, or should I say Edward Cullen." James stopped applauding, but continued to look at us.

I was confused, but Edward was especially more than I was, "how do you-"

"It has been a long time little Eddy, I'm surprized you don't remember me," James began to circle us, but Edward made sure James didn't come near me.

"What is he talking about?" I whispered to Edward.

"Your mother had the most beautiful eyes I ever laid upon on, Esme, I believe that was her name."

I felt an earthquake in Edward's body, I was almost afraid he was going to lose it very soon.

"She was quite stunning much like the princess behind you, it will be a shame what I'm going to do to her, like I did to your mother."

All of a sudden, Edward snapped and charged after James, "I'LL KILL YOU," he shouted. James quickly pulled his sword out and deflected Edward's blow. I called out to Edward, but he didn't listen, he and James went at it. Their strength was evenly matched.

I couldn't help but watch in silence, suddenly someone behind me wrapped their hand over my mouth, before I had the chance to scream. I was pulled backwards away from Edward's view. I tried to struggle, but the man who was holding me was too strong. Soon I noticed two bandits who work for James, were coming up behind Edward while he was fighting, I need to break free to warn Edward.

"You're soon going to watch your pretty boy knight die right in front of you," said the man who was holding me.

NO, I continued to struggle, I needed to tell Edward, soon I was able to bite the man's fingers that covered my mouth and I was lucky to elbow him in the ribs. He let go and I quickly ran to Edward without looking back. I needed to say it fast and so Edward will know it quick enough. "EDWARD AMBUSH BEHIND" I shouted as loud as I could. I kept repeating it until the man grabbed me again, but I kept looking at Edward.

Edward continued fighting James, but when the two men were only five feet away from him, Edward quickly took them down in a heart beat. I was in shock, Edward did so fast, it was amazing, but James came up behind Edward and knocked him out with the handle of his sword. "NO," I shouted. Two men grabbed Edward and took him up to an abandon building with me being dragged behind.

They through me in a corner, when they dragged Edward in, he gained consinous, and then James came in with Edward's sword, "nice sword, Edward," he told Edward as he was approaching me. Suddenly he was lifting the end of my dress up with the sharp edge of the sword, "I bet you can cut through anything with this sword to see what your heart desires." I felt the sharp edge poke me under my dress and I quietly moaned.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER," Edward shouted.

"Well, well, well, it seems you care too much about the engaged princess, no offence little Eddy, but she's way out of your leauge." James smirked.

"That maybe true, but at least I don't have a wife who rather have sex with farm animals then with her husband," Edward said calmly. I saw James's eyes were widen, he quickly took the swork out from under my dress and did a clean slice on Edward's upper leg. Edward fell to the ground in pain, I rushed to help him, but James grabbed me and threw me to the floor. His men grabbed hold of Edward again as he was struggling to break free.

I tried to break free from James as he got on top of me. As he began unbuttoning his pants, I couldn't help but look at Edward, his eyes were so beautiful, after all I put him through, he never gave up on me. James tried to seperate my legs aparts, but I did my best to not budge, "I don't need to seperate them to have a good time," he said to me. James put his hand up my dress to touch the one place that no one was allowed to touch except for the Prince, would he still have me after this?

"BELLA," Edward shouted.

James lifted my whole dress exposing my legs, and then I remembered the weapon Edward gave me. James didn't noticed it yet, but I quickly pulled it out and stabbed James right into his black heart. James stopped and just stared at me confused.

"Bella, quickly pull it out," Edward said.

I did what I was told and soon blood came spilling out and landing on to me, thats when I screamed at the top of my voice. I just killed someone. The smell of James's blood was too much for me, I began to black out.
