Chapter 11: Saving our daughter
"And 'hi' to you too..."
Musa smiled and embraced the man who stood in front of her, "Sorry, but he's the guy who kidnapped Harmonia and..."
Riven's lips crashed into hers before she could say anything further, Riven's hands were on her cheeks and Musa wrapped her arms around his neck
They stood there making out for a few minutes and then parted, Musa smiled at Riven with tears in her eyes and Riven stroked her cheek
"I've missed you so much!" Riven whispered and then planted a soft kiss on her forehead
Musa nodded and then hugged him and cried softly on his shoulder, Riven patted her back gently and stroked her thick dark blue hair
He could relate to the way she was feeling but Musa had gone through a lot more because she had carried their baby all by herself without any support
"How did your delivery go?" Riven asked and put his hands on her waist, Musa just looked to the ground and blinked back tears
"I hate you for not being there!" she hissed after a few seconds, Riven grabbed her chin and lifted her face up
He smiled at her warmly and kissed her some more, Musa closed her eyes and put everything she felt for Riven into the kiss
Musa squeezed her eyes shut after the kiss and tears made their way down her cheeks; Riven brushed them away with his thumb and rested his forehead on hers
"I'm sorry..." he whispered and then Musa's eyes finally met his and they starred at each other for ages
Then after a while Musa sniffled and backed away from Riven, "Yeah...we shouldn't be doing this, remember we're still enemy's!"
"I don't give a damn about that nonsense! Now shall we find Harmonia?" Riven asked and then took Musa's hand who only took hers out of his grip
Riven shrugged and then carried on walking behind her. Musa had decided to follow the guy who ran into the forest; she thought that he must have gone back to where Harmonia was
"You know...you haven't changed at all!" Riven chuckled and then looked at Musa, she looked possessed as she walked avoiding the trees and stones
"Neither have you" she bit back, Riven rolled his eyes and carried on following her
"Umm...do you have any idea where we're going?" Riven asked, the place they were in now was really dark and it seems like a cave
"Would you shut up? I'm trying to pick up sound signals but all I can hear is you!" Musa hissed angrily, Riven couldn't take it anymore so he grabbed Musa's wrist and made her face him
"It's been months since we're last been together and you just want to get rid of me?" Riven asked looking her straight in the eye
Musa looked away but then her lips were met with Riven's again, but this time she melted into it and let all her worries fly out of her mind
"I love you Riven" she cried and then embraced him
Riven squeezed her tightly, "Me too!" he replied
Musa then looked up with a confused look on her face, "You love yourself? How vain!" then she started laughing and held Riven's hand and dragged him further into the cave
"I didn't mean that! I meant that I love you too!" Riven said and then suddenly covered Musa's mouth with his hand
He threw himself and Musa against the wall so they wouldn't be seen, "Sshhh!"
Musa used her hand to loosen Riven's grip over her mouth, then she concentrated hard to listen to the voices behind the cave wall
"You idiot! You lost her powers!" shouted a man angrily, there was also a faint sound of a fire crackling
"There was nothing I could do, I thought she'd get killed but she absorbed them instead!" explained the other one
Suddenly Musa froze and Riven started to get worried, "Musa...?" he grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her back and forth, "What's wrong?"
Musa opened her mouth but then shuddered, she wasn't able to speak but Riven could make out that she had heard something serious
She started trembling like mad and then fell in front of Riven's feet; Riven's gasped quietly and crouched down next to her
"Musa, tell me what's wrong!" he spoke sternly, Musa looked up with teary eyes
"They're going to kill Harmonia! They might have already done it; all I heard was her crying!" Musa whispered and then buried face in her hands and cried
Riven placed his hand on her shoulder but then stood up and pulled his sword out
"This has gone too far!" he whispered and then ran around the wall to face the captures
A sudden rush of air went by Musa as Riven left, she looked around and realised he'd gone off to fight the villains
She hurriedly dried her eyes and mustered up some courage and followed him
When Musa got there, she saw Riven battling it out with the taller man whilst the shorter man was carrying Harmonia
Luckily none of them had seen her, so she decided to make herself invisible and get her daughter to safety
She slowly crept next to the short man and slowly lifted Harmonia out of hands, fortunately he didn't seem to notice but unfortunately the taller man did
He crouched down on the ground and picked up some dirt and threw it over beside his friend and shortly afterwards it revealed Musa
Musa growled at the shorter man and then grabbed Harmonia and legged it towards the mouth of the cave
"Riven, see if you can hold them off!" she screamed looking behind her shoulder
"I'll try!" he called back and tripped up the shorter man so he couldn't follow Musa
The cave was quite large and was lit up dimly so none of men could see what Riven looked like
But just then the shorter man got on his feet and ran after Musa, Riven's eyes widened and then he also ran after him, he was then followed by the taller man
Musa slammed the door shut and panted heavily, she had run all the way to her little hut in the forest. She thought it was the safest place to hide since the men could easily get into the palace
"Argh!" shouted Riven, the taller man had just jumped on top of him and now they were both wrestling each other on the ground
"You fool, keep running and find the princess!" he ordered the shorter man who nodded but then gasped when Riven kicked the other man off himself
"It's prince Riven!" he cried in shock, then the taller man got back up on his feet and also gasped
He was clutching his stomach and he stumbled back next to the shorter man, Riven stood up and got ready to attack them
But then something that he didn't expect happened, the men in black surrendered and bowed down to him
Riven furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, he was actually hoping for a fight
"Your highness we are terribly sorry, please forgive us!" said the tall man and with that the two of them ran away
Riven stood there gobsmacked but then his mind rolled over to Musa, he frantically started searching for her but she was no-where to be seen
"Musa!" he shouted and ran in the opposite direction to the men
Musa picked up sound waves of her name and then stood outside the little hut clutching Harmonia tightly
She concentrated and up flew a firework into the night sky; Riven at once knew that Musa had sent that so he followed it to her little hut
Musa was very cautious because she was afraid that the men in black would have seen that too, so she was often looking around herself to check if they had made their way to her
"There you are!" Riven sighed in relief as he saw Musa standing in the doorway nervously
Musa smiled and then walked over to him, her eyes fell on Harmonia and then she handed her to Riven
Riven's heart melted when he saw his daughter in person for the first time, he was speechless
"She's...she's beautiful! Just like you" Riven whispered adoring his baby daughter, "Hello, Harmonia! It's me, daddy!" he bent closer to her and made their noses touch
Musa sniffled and wiped the tears of happiness off her face, just then little droplets could be felt on her arms. She looked up and saw dark clouds rumbling overhead, she gasped and then dragged Riven who was holding Harmonia, into the little hut
"I think we should stay here for tonight" Musa said and then sat down next to Riven, who was lost in his daughters eyes
"She's like a mirror image of you but with my eyes!" he exclaimed proudly
Musa nodded agreeing with Riven and then she put her arm around both of them
"We're finally one happy family!" she laughed and then kissed Harmonia on the cheek
Harmonia was in her father's lap and she had the biggest smile on her face, Riven could feel how happy his daughter was now that both her parents were by her side
"I promise I won't ever leave you, ok?" Riven said looking down at his daughter
"She's my little princess!" Musa whispered in awe
"Nope, she's our little princess!"
:') Awww, their all back together again!
