I Still Love You

Chapter 13: The Secret

Musa POV

Suddenly, I heard sounds of the bushes shaking and I heard...footsteps? My heart was beating so quickly and my mind was racing. Damn it Musa! Don't be scared...it could probably just be a...MONSTER! God damn it! That's not helping!

I turned my small torch on and my eyes widened! There was a shadow on my tent and it looked so big!

I was so terrified. But it kinda looked like the shape of a person! But who could it...be?

I quickly made a powerful spell that's shaped into a ball on my hand. I slowly unzipped the tent and was ready to blast the intruder when my eyes widened!

"RIVEN?! What the hell are you doing here?!" I screamed with anger and jumped out of the tent.

"Geez Woman! It's only me! You don't have to scream!" Riven growled.

"How did you even come here you jerk?!" I snapped. I thought I told him not to come?!

"You're not the only fairy I know, you know! Veronica IS a fairy! And you don't have the right to call me that!" Riven hissed.

"I have every right to call you that! And oh so it's Veronica again, is it?! You still see her?!" I growled.

"It's none of your business who I see! And I only came here coz I care about Melody!" Riven scowled.

"But I don't want you here! I'm perfectly capable of dealing with this on my own thank you very much!" I shouted.

"Oh yeah?! Well let's see if you can go through the night without me!" Riven yelled.

"Of course I can! And may I ask again, what are you doing here?! I thought I told you not to come?!" I screamed.

"You know what?! Forget about it! I'm leaving!" Riven scoffed and turned around to walk away. I put my hands on my hips and sighed.

"Argh...that asshole!" I hissed and walked back into the tent. "I don't need him anyway!"

I tucked myself back in the blanket and closed my eyes. I couldn't stop thinking about Riven! I'm so worried about him. I mean, he came here coz he cares about Melody. But I pushed him away and yelled at him. God! I feel so guilty! He must be outside in the cold right now! But wait, he might have just gone home! But I kind of doubt that...

I sighed and opened my eyes. I can't sleep while thinking about Melody! I mean, she's kidnapped! Only god knows what's happening to her. But I have to find her as soon as I can. I'm also saving my powers for when I find Cadence and her boys. I used a lot of my powers last week and I need to let it rest so that I can be more powerful later.

I mumbled a spell that takes 2 minutes to say and pointed at myself. The spell should make my powers rest and hopefully grow more powerful. So at the moment, I can't use my powers at all! It takes another 2 minutes to say a spell that will undo it.

I then heard a low growl coming from my tent. It didn't sound like anything I've ever heard before. But it was very clear.

I then heard the growls grow louder and it made me terrified. Sweat was running down my forehead and my body was shaking. I slowly turned the torch on and my heart beat so fast when I saw it. I saw a shadow on my tent!

It looked slightly bigger than Riven's shadow...wait! OF COURSE it's Riven! Who else would it be?

Ooh! That bastard! He's trying to scare me again? God, I swear, I hate him!

"It's not funny anymore Riven!" I huffed and sat up. I then heard the growls grow even louder, which made me FURIOUS! I started to unzip the tent and sighed in anger.

"Riven! I swear if you do this again I will kill-"

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. I couldn't finish my sentence!

There, stood a wolf-like creature that is two times the size of a normal wolf! It was staring at me with those deadly eyes like it was going to eat me and my eyes wandered to the sharp teeth it had.

My breathing was very heavy. Without thinking, I jumped up and ran away as fast as I can! Oh god! oh god! don't panic, it's only a gigantic wolf that is able to KILL me! I can't use my powers either!

"Ahhh!" I screamed as it was running after me. Oh god, what should I do?! The only thing I can do is: RUN!

I sprinted across the forest in my black boots and nearly tripped. I didn't dare to look back and see my nightmare chasing me from behind. That wolf was so fast! And now, I really wish that Riven was here! I regret pushing him away and being nasty to him! All I want is him right now!

It also didn't help the fact that it was dark. I kept on running until I reached a cliff. Damn it! Shit!

I looked down and my eyes widened when I saw that it was VERY deep! Oh my god! Is this really the end for me?!

The wolf was a few metres in front of me. I kept on stepping backwards but I knew I would fall off if I carry on. My breathing was very heavy and my body was still shaking in fear. I was terrified!

"Oh Riven, where are you when I need you?!" I screamed, my eyes filled with tears.

Riven POV

I was so frustrated with Musa! God, she is so annoying! Why does she have to make everything hard?! I care about Melody and I want to help her save her but she wouldn't let me! Why the hell is that?!

I was stomping through the dark forest with my magenta sword in my hand and my backpack on my back. I was wearing a normal shirt and trousers.

I wasn't going to just leave Musa here anyway. I still care about her...even though she's being such a pain in the ass! But we somehow always make up at the end...well, that always happens after we break up. But not this time.

I then heard a loud ear-splitting scream coming from my right. My head immediately shot up when I heard it. Wasn't the voice...Musa's? Crap! What the hell did this stupid pixie do now?!

I growled in frustration and put my backpack down. I guess I have to find her. But what if it's just a lame joke she's doing? I mean, she likes to play around all the time to make me angry and annoyed at her. But I was also thinking...what if this isn't a joke? She must be in danger right now!

"Oh Riven, where are you when I need you?!" I heard Musa scream. Somehow, that made me chuckle. She is hilarious sometimes. And I guess she really does need me!

I grabbed my sword and sprinted through the forest as quick as I can and when I reached there, my eyes widened.

"Oh fuck, Musa! What did you do now?!" I hissed.

I saw Musa with some big creature in front of her! And that's not even the worst part! She's about to fall off the cliff!

I saw Musa's eyes filled with tears and her body was shaking in fear, and it made my heart broke.

The wolf creature was about to pounce on her, and I immediately dashed towards them and positioned my sharp sword near the Wolf's neck. I quickly slice the wolf's head and it dropped to the ground.

I looked up at Musa who gasped with her mouth formed into an 'O'. But she wasn't realising that she was only 1 centimetre away from falling down the cliff! God, Stupid pixie!

"Damn it!" I hissed and quickly stepped forward and spread my arms out behind her back. Suddenly, Musa pounced on me and wrapped her arms around me, ever so tightly!

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Riven! Please stay with me! I need you! I didn't mean to be nasty to you and I can't be alone in this god damn forest!" Musa cried, "Thanks for saving me!"

I chuckled and smirked at her.
"Okay! Okay! You don't have to squeeze me to death!"

Musa immediately pulled away with her arms crossed and her face in a glare.
"Ooh! You are soooo getting it!"

"Oh so now you're angry?! Damn you Musa! You're such a prick! Forget about it! I'm heading home" I growled and turned around, starting to walk away. But deep inside, I was smirking. I love making Musa angry. This is going to be fun...

"But...RIVEN! Ooh! You bastard! I hate you so fucking much! You're an asshole! You know that?!" Musa screamed and hit my back. I chuckled and ignored her.

"You can't just leave me here! I...I..need you!" she shouted with anger. I smiled and smirked, still walking away.

"Leave me alone Musa" I scoffed but chuckled afterwards.

"I hate you Riven! I hate you to bits! You're a JERK!" Musa yelled so loudly.

In a flash, I turned around and dipped her. My hand was holding her back and her head was a metre away from the floor. My violet eyes looked into her beautiful navy ones. But I smirked, yet again.

"And I'm you're jerk" I smiled. A light shade of red then appeared on her beautiful face.

"You know...I would actually kiss you right now if I wanted to. And believe me, I REALLY want to...but it doesn't necessarily mean I have feelings for you..." I whispered, getting closer to her.

At hearing this, Musa blushed even deeper but she turned her head away in embarrassment.
"Well then, I should let you know that if you kiss me, it won't mean anything" Musa whispered back, looking at me in the eyes again.

God, I have to fight the urge to kiss her! But how? She was just too tempting! I stared at her pink luscious lips and looked back at her. When can I ever kiss my beautiful Musa again? The last time we kissed was 4 years ago! I wish I can do it again...but I had other things in my mind.

I let my hands go which meant Musa would fall down! She landed on the floor as I stood up. I walked away, laughing my head off! It was hilarious! This is definitely something I will never forget!

Musa stood up furiously with a deadly glare. She stomped off towards me and did something unexpected...

She jumped on me which made both of us fall together but there was a hill beneath us so we rolled down the hill together. Musa's eyes were still looking at me with anger until we reached the bottom. I ended up on top of Musa.

"Umm...is this the time I should say 'sorry'?" I laughed nervously, knowing exactly what she will do.

She pushed me off roughly and stood up. I stood up lazily and put my head down. I am so going to get it! Damn! Maybe this IS the right time to apologize to her! I knew I would be going through a session of yells and screams...oh boy.

"RIVEN! I can't believe what you just DID! Oh my god, I hate you so much! Now I'm actually happy that you even broke up with me! I just can't-"

"Look, Musa I'm sorry" I apologized with a frown on my face. I put my head down and stood there nervously. I expected her to probably say 'No way am I forgiving you!' but I got something different.

She wrapped her arms around me and closed her eyes.
"I'm sorry too...for shouting at you earlier. I don't want us to fight all the time!" Musa whispered. she pulled away and looked at me in the eyes with her arms still around my neck.

My face was only a few centimetres away from hers and she gave me a cute smile. I leaned my face closer to hers and smirked, leaning closer...and closer...and closer...until..

"Don't even think about it! You lost your stupid chance earlier when you dropped me!" Musa growled and immediately pulled away.

"Your right and I really REALLY regret it!" I laughed as she playfully hit my arm.

"Let's go back to the tent" Musa sighed and we walked back to her tent.

"Umm...Musa, I don't have a tent" I said.

"You didn't bring one?!" Musa scowled.

"Yeah apparently...does that mean I get to sleep with you?" I smirked at her. She cursed something under her breath before nodding.

"Fine! You can sleep in my tent, but nothing happens! Kay?" Musa snapped. I nodded and smiled at her. She went in the tent and I followed her in. Luckily, I brought my own blanket.

Musa snuggled into her blanket and turned away from me. And I did too.

"We'll find Melody tomorrow...I just hope she will be okay..." Musa whispered and I could hear the hint of sadness in her voice. I sighed.

"She will be, Musa. I promise..." I whispered back and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning...

I woke up to the very loud sound of my alarm. I moaned and tried to find my phone that was somewhere in the tent. That was until Musa woke up...

"Ugh...Riven! What the hell is that loud noise?! Turn it off!" Musa shouted with her eyes half closed.

"I can't! I don't know where the hell my phone is!" I snapped.

"Riven! It's very loud! Just find it!" Musa huffed.

"I can't Musa! I can't!" I growled and sat up. It was only 6:00 am. God, it's way too early! Stupid alarm! And Musa's more angrier about it than me!

She sat up and glared at me.
"Thank you very much Riven for waking me up INCREDIBLY early!" Musa groaned.

"It's not my fault! And anyway, at least we get more time to look for Melody! She is your daughter you know!" I hissed.

"And she's yours-"

Musa stopped in her sentence with her fingers covering her lips and eyes widened.

"What were you about to say?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.

"N-nothing! I wasn't going to say anything!" Musa said suspiciously.

"Are you sure? I knew you were about to say something" I said.

"Riven, it's nothing! I'm gonna...get some fresh air outside" Musa said nervously and unzipped the tent, walking out. I was confused. I was so sure she was about to finish her sentence but then she stopped. I wonder what she was about to say...

Musa POV

I quickly left the tent and started to walk. Oh my god! crap! I nearly told Riven that Melody is his daughter! I was this close to getting my life ruined! Well, my life wouldn't be ruined but of course Riven will hate me for not telling him! But it's not MY fault, is it? It's his fault for breaking up with me!

"Damn! Get a hold of yourself Musa! You nearly told him the secret! Keep it together!" I hissed to myself. I knew I had to tell Riven that Melody is his daughter one day. But not now. now isn't a good time. But he does have a right to know I suppose. But I don't think he deserves to know! I know he's supposed to-

My chain of thoughts broke when I heard a voice. A rough but wonderful voice that I love so much. But my eyes widened when I heard what he said...

"What secret?"
