Chapter 11
A/N- I will be switching P.O.V a bit in the first half of the chapter so hopefully I don't confuse you. I decided to give you a bit into Austin's P.O.V. And I don't know about you guys but if this story was a movie I would watch it hahaha.
Austin P.O.V
I knew I had to do that for Ally. I didn't even have to think about it, I wanted too. It's her destiny and she had to go and I had to let her. The guards took me into the dungeon and dropped me on the cold unforgiving floor.
Flashback- Still in Austin P.O.V
The guards were taking me through the castles deepest lairs and I had no idea where they were taking me, all that was going on in my head was if Ally was okay, all alone with that Queen, but I know deep down that Ally will be fine, she's strong and brave.
I'm twisting through windy corridors leading down into the deepest parts of the palace and it suddenly occurred to me where they are taking me…they are taking me to the dungeon.
I arrived to a heavy black metal door that was covered in cobwebs and was starting to rust with age. I don't exactly know how the tiny fairy guards opened the door but then again they could carry me so opening it should be no problem.
The room past the door was empty and gloomy; it gave off a very lonely and tragic feeling of despair. The walls were brick walls and they were a dark grey colour. Everything was concrete and sealed in sadness. And they threw me into the cell, I hit the concrete very hard and it hurt.
I lifted up my head in agony, trying to ignore the pain in my legs and on the side of my stomach.
"Do what you have to do" I said trying to sound calm.
They snickered "Oh we will don't you worry". I had no idea what they were going to do to me. They grabbed my arm and one of them pulled out his wand and pushed it down into my arm. I didn't think it would hurt but it felt like someone was pinching my arm.
"This should drain his powers real good, the Queen is going to love us for this, you okay Austin you look a bit pale, aww do you miss little Ally" They were taunting me but I didn't want to give in. "I'm fine"
They chuckled "Well okay if you say so" And I felt him push the wand further into my arm and I winced in pain.
"Woops I'm sorry did that hurt, well how about this" and he pushed it even harder into my arm. It took everything in me not to swear. It felt like someone was pushing a red hot burning knife in my arm. And to my intense relief they pulled it out of my arm.
"Now we're done with that but were not done with you" and before I could react they punched me in the face. "I'm sure the Queen would appreciate us doing that" I could feel a bruise forming on my cheek.
"Now see you later" and they got up and left leaving me bruised and scarred on the floor.
Present-Still Austin P.O.V
Ally and I were just so happy to be by each other's side again. We were holding hands but my arm was still very sore and I couldn't move it very well. And then Ally decided to swing her am while we were still holding hands and I somehow managed to yelp in pain. Ally noticed and asked in a concerned voice
"Austin are you alright". I nodded to try and convince her that I was but there was no convincing Ally.
"Austin I know you're not, whats wrong, you can tell me". I look at her and her eyes are filled with love and concern. Every time I look at her it's like the first time. I pulled out my arm and I show her the circular red scar on my arm from where they drained my power.
"Omg Austin what happened" there was worry in her voice.
"They put a wand in my arm to drain the power that I had"
"Well Austin it looks like they cut into your arm it's formed a scar". It sounded like she was fighting back tears. "Yeah they did, that's how they got the power"
She placed a finger on the scar and stroked it. "I'm so sorry Austin…I'm so sorry"
"It's not your fault Ally"
She sniffed "If I hadn't of agreed then you wouldn't have gone through that"
"Ally I agreed not you and I chose to because it's your destiny"
"Sometimes I feel like I don't belong here but then I realize a few things, I never would never have found out my true self and I never would have met you and that reassures me that I am in the right world"
I smiled down at her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Ally its fine; it was worth it, now how about you tell me what the Queen said to you when you were with her"
Ally P.O.V
Austin and I were walking together hand in hand from the flower kingdom. I noticed that he seemed to be wincing in pain and not being his usual sarcastic, outgoing, extroverted self. He was holding my hand kind of odd like he was trying to hide his arm or something. It was really worrying me.
In my own mind I was fighting a battle. When I was in the Queen's palace she told me that my grandfather was evil and he started the first war in Apscondita, and during that war he murdered almost all of Austin's entire family, and I was really struggling with knowing that and I really felt eaten alive with guilt. To try and distract myself from my raging thoughts I decided to swing my arm while holding Austin's hand but as soon as I did I heard Austin yelp in what sounded like pain. "Austin are you alright" I asked and he nodded his face looking at me, his eyes filled with pain. "Austin I know you're not, whats wrong, you can tell me". And he pulled his arm out in front of me and I saw a circular red scar, and it looked like it had once been a deep cut. I was in shock, who the hell did that, well I know who but you know what I mean.
"Omg Austin what happened"
"They put a wand in my arm to drain the power that i had"
"Well Austin it looks like they cut into your arm, it's formed a pretty prominent scar". I couldn't stop the tears from falling as I stroked the scar with my finger.
"I'm so sorry Austin…I'm so sorry"
"It's not your fault Ally" I sniffed trying to keep control.
"If I hadn't of agreed then you wouldn't have gone through all that"
"Ally I agreed not you and I chose because it's your destiny"
"Sometimes I feel like I don't belong here but then I realize a few things, I never would never have found out my true self and I never would have met you and that reassures me that I am in the right world"
He smiles down at me because he's taller than me and kisses me cheek.
"Ally its fine now how about you tell me about what the Queen said when you were with her"
A lot of thoughts were swirling around in my head right now because I have absolutely no idea what to say. I can tell him some things but not some of the others. Austin and I have just reunited and I don't want to ruin that by suddenly blurting out that my grandfather killed his entire family.
"The Queen told me my gift". His eyes lit up
"Really well what is it"
"It's me"
He looked at me confused
"What do you mean it's you?" Man this is going to take a lot of explaining.
"Well she said that I'm the gift and my destiny is to stop the second war from happening, because Austin there is going to be another war.
"Wait how come it's your destiny to stop the war, can't it be somebody else's, why does it have to be you?"Crap how do I answer this without telling him about my grandfather?
"I don't know actually". I felt bad lying to him but I just didn't have the heart to mention my grandfather at the moment.
"Did she mention who was starting the war, is it the same person that started the previous war"
"No she didn't, she didn't say much about it actually, all I know is that someone is going to start another war and I have to stop it because it's my destiny and I'm the gift that can save the people of Apscondita from the war"
"Wow she didn't leave you much to go on but I'm sure we will find out more clues"
"Yeah…more clues". I felt really bad lying to him but what other choice did I have, I didn't want to tell him about my grandfather starting the second war because then he will ask more questions and eventually he will figure out that it was my grandfather that started the first war and murdered his family.
I don't know how long I can keep this lie up, but let's see how long I can…
A/N- Do you think Ally should tell Austin, tell me what you think.
