I looked up to see the worry and stress present in Darius' gorgeous facial features. His eyes were by far the worst. The gorgeous blue orbs that merely five minutes ago held happiness, now held worry and stress. His lips held a tight line, and his brows furrowed together. His worry seemed to leak into me because seeing him like this worried me.
His gorgeous eyes met mine and the worry seemed to melt away from both of us. A small smile spread across his face as he leaned down a pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. I felt my cheeks heat up with a blush as he did this. It made my want for him, my need for him all the more real. I smiled gently as he loosened his grip around my waist allowing me to sit down again.
We sat and enjoyed lunch, talking as we did so. It was sweet and calming and a nice break from the stress that is my life. As we talked, I could tell that he genuinely cared for me and cared about what was going on in my life.
He swiftly got up from the table, walking over to me. He took my hand and pulled me up slowly, pulling me out of the cafeteria and pulling me toward the west side of the school.
"Where are we going?" I asked as he continued to lead me farther and farther away. He provided me with no answer to my burning question, just a smirk. We eventually came upon a beautiful grove of trees, where he stopped. He released his grip on my hand, allowing me to sit down on a stone bench as I took in the scenery around me.
The trees were almost glowing with the light of the goddess. I could tell she was present here, all around me. There were wildflowers that surrounded the trees, reds, blues, whites, yellows, greens, and they were all so breathtakingly beautiful. I looked down at the bench that I was sitting on to see intricate pictures carved into the mass of gray stone. They were pictures of each of the four elements. The delicate details of the carvings were so beautiful it was hard to pull my eyes away.
I was pulled out of my trance by Darius' soft lips pressing against my temple. He then walked around, and crouched in front of me, taking my hands in his, looking deeply into my eyes. His eyes held so much love and passion for me that it brought tears to my eyes.
"Isabella" he breathed, tightening his on my hands.
"Isabella", he said again, this time continuing.
"Today, right now, I give you a part of myself; I give you my warrior oath, my sworn oath to protect you with my life, to help you get through anything and everything, to keep you safe from anything that threatens your safety or well-being. Nyx has told me that this is something that I need to do as well as want to do. Isabella, Bella my precious, darling Bella. I sincerely hope you will accept my oath and accept me as your warrior and allow me to assist you as you reach your full potential as a high priestess in training", he concluded, looking at me waiting for a response. Tears were now freely streaming down my face. I simply nodded, not being able to form words to respond any other way.

I got up from my seat at the table, taking Bella's hand, beginning to lead her to the beautiful grove that I had discovered a while back. It was a very calming place that I had started to go to a lot to think and just to be by myself. I was so excited to share this place with the beautiful girl that was holding my hand.
"Where are we going?" she asked, but I ignored her, continuing to lead her down the curved stone path. I slowly released my grip on his hand, allowing her to sit down on a stone bench to take in the scenery. I stood next to her, contemplating what to say exactly. I looked down at the beautiful girl beside me to see her looking around, eyes widened, taking in the beauty of the grove. She was gorgeous, I looked at her for a while, letting her have her moment as I was having my own, taking in her beauty.
I finally pulled her out of her trance by pressing my lips lightly against her temple. I then walked around, crouching down to her level, looking into her eyes with all the love and passion I had for her. I know she noticed it too, because tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Isabella" I breathed, tightening my grip on her hands, holding onto them, not wanting to ever have to let go.
"Isabella", I said again, this time continuing to do what I came here to do.
"Today, right now, I give you a part of myself; I give you my warrior oath, my sworn oath to protect you with my life, to help you get through anything and everything, to keep you safe from anything that threatens your safety or well-being. Nyx has told me that this is something that I need to do as well as want to do. Isabella, Bella my precious, darling Bella. I sincerely hope you will accept my oath and accept me as your warrior and allow me to assist you as you reach your full potential as a high priestess in training", I concluded, looking at her waiting for a response. Tears were now freely streaming down her face. She simply nodded. I don't think she could form any other response, she was speechless.
I then took her hand, pulling her up again, this time pulling her body completely against mine. She looked at me; her brown eyes burning into mine, peering into my soul. She was breath-takingly beautiful. I brought my face down to hers, and caught her lips in mine. Her lips moved with mine perfectly, as I held her against me, closing the non-existent gap between us.
Her arms swung around my neck, her hands tangling into my hair. I smiled against her lips, my hands settling on her hips. I pulled away slowly, reluctantly. She smiled at me.
"I also help you will let me be your love, the one that loves you unconditionally. I want to be to you what your father is to your mother", I said to her, kissing her again. She nodded again.
"I would love to have you as all of that. My Warrior, My Protector, My Love", she whispered, sealing it with a kiss.
