Chapter 10!
Sorry guys I've been hella busy... anyways without further ado, here's chapter ten!
"Lief! Stop it! Don't kill him! Don't you want me to be happy?!" Jasmine screamed.
"You will be perfectly happy with me, Jasmine darling." Lief said back as if he was possessed.
Davey couldn't see the knife but he could feel the ice cold steel against his gullet. He managed to whimper out a little "Help me" before Lief's grip put him out cold. Jasmine couldn't take anymore. She took out a steel blade of her own and put it up against her throat to scare Lief into submission. She would never ponder suicide even while crying by her bedside. If there was such a Jasmine.
"Lief this is it. If you kill Davey or even slip with that knife I will end it for myself as well. Which is it!" Jasmine furiously yelled at Lief. In such a long time, she is mad at him.
"Jasmine. Don't. Understand that Davey is a trader." Lief said. Jasmine could tell that he was getting scared. But he wasn't breaking yet.
Jasmine couldn't believe him right now. She ran up the palace stairs to the highest peak of stone and stood at the edge.
"Lief! If you do NOT drop the knife and revive Davey I will Jump!" She yelled. Lief only looked up at Jasmine and could tell that she was serious. But he was only faced with a mare deceiver. He completely forgot that Jasmine was a stone liar and could pull it off almost always.
Lief let go of the knife and let Davey fall to his feet and sprinted to go get a bucket of water. Jasmine watched in relief and climbed down the rock and ran over to Davey's side. All she wanted from the world was a good loving husband. Not a love triangle or a crime of homicide. Both Davey and Lief could provide that for her. But she can't choose. Both are too dear to her precious heart.
Lief came running back with a bucket of water and dumped it on Davey's face. Davey slowly woke up and sat up dizzy and scared. Jasmine held him tight.
"It's okay. Everything will be alright." Jasmine whispered and kissed his forehead. Lief had to struggle to keep his disgust in disguise. He watched as Jasmine pulled Davey up right. Lief handed him his White and Red cloak. Maybe he could give him a second chance.
"Jasmine. You need to be with Lief. He's been there for you for years." Davey told Jasmine.
"But you've been with her since she was 7. She should be with you" Leif responded. Lief tried to send a signal to Davey through thinking really hard. Davey received the message, "we need to talk" Lief thought. "I want her to be with you. There's plenty more pretty faces in Deltora. Don't worry about me." Davey thought back.
"Jasmine darling, go and think about it. Lief and I have some talking to do." Davey said. Jasmine nodded and said she'd go to her chambers. Jasmine went into the north tower. Lief and Davey went into the main building, and to Lief's office.
"We need a love potion Davey." Lief said.
"I know someone.. You'll have to talk to my town's wizard. Mixing up potions and spells for years..." Davey answered.
"Thank god for you Davey. I'm sorry I almost... killed you..." Lief apologized.
"That's gonna take some time to get over. But you're fine. There's something I gotta tell you." Davey says.
"Mhmm?" Lief responded.
" I'm not... attracted to girls... Have you heard about the new thing when you like the same gender?" Davey asked.
"Yes I have. They named it Gay." Lief answered.
" Well if that's so then I'm gay. I don't like girl's hatchet wounds. I like boys one-eyed-snakes..." Davey said. He reached up for Lief's face and looked him in the eyes. "I love you, Lief."
