Sorry for the late post! I will finish the story this week though, I promise!
Chapter 10
Morgana sat Arthur down on a chair and began to dab at the blood seeping through the chainmail. Tears were filling her green eyes as Arthur winced in pain.
"I think your rib is broken," Morgana said, her voice wavering. Arthur saw she was crying and softly rested a hand on her cheek. "Oh Arthur."
"It's never stopped me before," he murmured. He leaned towards her and softly kissed her lips. "I'm going to win this, and you." Morgana bit her lip.
"You have nothing to prove to me, Arthur," Morgana said softly, running her hand through his hair. "Please, just stop this. Let Uther pay the randsom and we can go home and get married. Please Arthur." Arthur shook his head slowly.
"I have to prove everything to you," Arthur grimaced, gritting his teeth. "I love you Morgana, and I never want to loose you again."
"You won't," Morgana said softly. "I promise you won't."
"When you disappeared," Arthur began. "It felt as though my heart had been ripped from my chest. It took that for me to realize my feelings for you. It was the worst feeling in the world knowing that I might never see you again and I never want to experience it again."
"If that's what you want," Morgana smiled. "Then I'll never leave your side ever again." A bell rang from outside and Morgana's breath quickened.
"If I die out there…" Arthur ordered, getting to his feet.
"No." Morgana interrupted.
"If I die," Arthur repeated. "Promise me you will move on in your life. Don't always dwell on me."
"Arthur!" Uther called from outside.
"Promise me…" Arthur said.
"I promise," a teary-eyed Morgana said. "I love you." She whispered before leaning up and kissing him passionately. Arthur left the tent and Morgana, for what could have been his last time.
