Chapter 27 – I love her
I smiled at Kenny "You still love her don't you?" I asked as we sat down on the lunch benches while Ed and Anna went to get some candy-floss.
Kenny sighed "No I don't"
"Don't lie. I can see the love you have for her. And just so you know, she loves you too." I said
His gaze moved up from the table to me "No she don't"
"You're in denial"
"No I'm not"
Before I could set his mind right. Anna and Ed walked up to us. Anna handed me one and sat next to me. "I wanna go on the ferris wheel." She said
"Well I'm tired, I'm sure Kenny can go with you" I said smirking at Kenny
"What?" They both shouted at the same time.
"Yeah Kenny was just saying that he wanted to go on the Ferris-Wheel with you" I said looking at Anna
"He said that?" She said
"I said that?" Kenny said at the same time
I kicked him under the bench and he winced but Anna didn't notice. "Kenny's gonna take you now"
He glared at me but stood up and went off angrily Anna followed him. I resisted the urge to laugh. Ed sat in front of me "What was that all about?"
"Just helping love birds" I said chuckling
"Oh" he said laughing
"You've ever been in love, Ed?" I asked
"No though I think I'm gonna be" He said looking behind me. I frowned and turned around. A girl his age was at the shooting booth.
I smiled and shook my head "You should go" I said
He nodded dazed "I should" with that he got up and left
"Hey"
I looked up to see Tyler .I sighed "Tyler not now. I'm tired an-"
"-I'm here to apologize" He said cutting me off
"Huh?" I said confused
He sat down in front of me "I'm sorry. I'm not gonna harass you any more. You're a very beautiful girl though you already been taken by someone else"
I felt for him "Ty-"
"-No just let me finish. I'm sorry; I don't want to cause any problems. Every time I look at you I feel a pull… though now I know you already belong to someone…Can we at least be friends?"
I smiled and placed my hand on his "Yes of course we can"
"Get your filthy hands of her"
Sam was standing right in front of us. Uh-ho.
I quickly pulled my hands back and stood in front of him incase he attacks Tyler "Sam, we're just friends"
He looked at me "We're going home, come on" he started to pull me along with him
"But what about Anna, Kenny and Ed?" I said trying to keep up with his pace
"They know we're leaving. I told Ed" He said
He opened the door and pushed me in the car then went in the drivers seat and pulled out of there.
I glared at him "What is your problem?"
He clenched his jaw but didn't say anything. I just looked at him annoyed "I'm talking to you" I snapped
"What my problem is Scarlet, is that I don't like Tyler anywhere near you" He growled
"Why!" I snapped back
"Because your mine!" He snarled. His eyes turned yellow and he pressed the brake. The car stopped suddenly, if I weren't wearing a seatbelt, I would've been out of the front glass.
I just looked at him astonished for a second then I glared him "Oh really? That coming from a guy who fucked me and then didn't show his face till 2 days"
He sighed and closed his eyes then looked out of his side of the window "Scar, I'm sorry. That night, I didn't mean to…I lost control over myself…I thought…I thought you were Delilah and I….I'm just sorry"
Ok that hurt more than I could think. Before I could let my tears slip. I opened the door and got out of the car. I walked down the road, his footsteps sounded behind me.
"Scar, I'm sorry, please don't go away like that" He said from behind me
I stopped and turned around. I slapped him so hard, that the sound echoed around us. He looked at me shocked. I didn't know whether he was shocked at the slap or my tearful face "I'm not a doll Sam! I'm not a doll who you could use and then say sorry to. I have a heart too and it hurts. I know my face looks like Delilah but is that how you look at me? Your dead ex girlfriend?"
He tried to say something but I didn't let him speak "I'm sorry I ever tried to think for one second that I could get to know you, that I could help you through your life, that I could get a happy ending…but you know what, I was wrong. I'm sorry for having the same face as your Delilah. I'm sorry that I'm not her. I'm sorry that I thought that I was important to you."
"Scar you got it wr-" He tried again
"-Please just go. I can't be with you right now" I turned around but before I could take a step I heard a shooting noise and then a sting at my arm. I looked at my arm to see I was the one who was shot.
"Scarlet!" Sam jumped on me, pulling me down as someone shot at us. He quickly pulled me up and pulled me with him behind the car.
"Stay low" He said then looked at my arm "Your shot"
I was starting to feel dizzy. The world was blurring around me and so was Sam. The voices sounded distance.
"Oh god, they shot you with silver poison…damn it, Scar stay with me" He said shaking me out of the darkness.
I opened my eyes wide and stayed awake. Sam looked at me "Good, now stay here while I'm gone"
I couldn't stop him because he was gone before I could talk. I could hear the screams and sounds of bodies tearing. I then heard a roar of Sam, a painful roar. All my dizziness, my pain rushed out as I heard him. I got up and looked at them fighting. Sam was on the ground and men's were surrounding him.
No body messes with my guy. I forgot I was shot in the arm. I forgot all the pain. I even forgot our earlier argument. All I could see was rage.
I used air to shove them away from him. One of them came up to me and I kicked him in the stomach. The other came and I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. I punched him in the face and he fell down. Good. People don't call me a commander's daughter for nothing.
Sam got up while I was fighting. He then came and fought close to me. We were watching each other's back. He glared at me "I thought I told you to stay low"
"You maybe an asshole but I'm not like you. I don't use people and throw them away. I come to them when they need me" I snapped back
He was about to say something but another guy came up and he got busy in the fight. The fight was good and we killed every one of them. I looked around when every guy was down. Sam killed off the last one.
He looked at me "Scar-"
But before I could hear him out, the dizziness and pained rushed back in and took me into the darkness.

Sam's POV
Scarlet hasn't opened her eyes since the past three days. The doctor said the baby is fine but Scarlet is still fighting for her life. The baby was somehow protecting him or herself which I was glad to hear. Scarlet that I've been staying with for the past three days has me worried. The doc said it's ok that she will wake up any minute but I didn't know whether to believe it or not.
And now here I sat holding her hand while she was unconscious.
Scarlet was hurt because of me. Her every word still pierces me every time I think about it. I wish I could take everything back what I said. Everything I told her was a lie. I thought maybe she would've been hurt of what I did. I thought she might be disgusted with me which is why I lied to her. I wanted her to go away from me because every time she took a step near me, I would end up hurting her.
I wish I could tell her that it wasn't Delilah who I looked at when we were making love. It was her. I was looking at the Scarlet who understood me. Who knew how to handle my demon. Who isn't afraid of me. Who is kind, gentle. Who I lov-
Do I love her? The answer to that I knew already. Yes, I'm starting to fall in love with the girl who takes care of me more than I take care of her.I thought that maybe no one could take Delilahs place in my heart but Scar did. She without me knowing, took that place. And now when I close my eyes, I look at Scarlet instead of Delilah. Should I really move on? Can I take the chance life is giving me again? I didn't know about any chances, but I'm not gonna let Scarlet go. She's my Scarlet and I will tell her that when she wakes up. I will tell her how much I love her that how I will never let her go, never. But did she love me?
Mine. My demon whispered in my head
I wiped my eyes and picked up my phone which was ringing "Hello?"
"Prince Samuel, we have gotten the words out of that guy who attacked you and Princess" my right hand man told me
My eyes would have turned yellow cause my anger was out of limit right now. The first thing I did when I took Scarlet to the hospital was calling my guards. I asked them to torture the guy we have and get any kind of information out of him. They had hurt my Scar and they will pay for it.
"Good. What did you find out?" I asked
"Sir, he said they are being trained, lots of them. He also told us the place where the rest are hiding."
"But why are they attacking us?" I asked clenching my teeth. Kill them all. Burn them all. They hurt Scarlet! My demon shouted
"He said some kind of old revenge. He said that she will find you and take her revenge and then he killed himself by snatching one of our knifes"
"Get the troops ready. I will be there by and hour and we will go to that place" I said angrily. Kill. slay. Maim. Destroy them all. They hurt my Scarlet. Kill them. Yes. We will kill them all.
"Yes Sir" with that he hung up the call
I looked at Scarlet "I love you Scar…please wake up when I get back" I didn't know whether it was right but I kissed her lips.
I love you too Sammy.
I rolled my eyes. 'Shut up' I told him in my head and he laughed instead
I went out. Anna was sitting down with Kenny on one of the benches. She looked at me and they both got up.
"Has she gained any conscious?" She asked worriedly
I shook my head "No…" I said softly
She came up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder "It's gonna be ok Sam"
I'm gonna kill everyone of them for hurting Scarlet. My precious Scarlet.
I ignored him and nodded at Anna "I know it will…she can't leave me like this. I will not let her leave me. I will not let her go when fate has given me another chance…" I said
She smiled, a sad smile "I know"
"I want you to look after Scar till I get back" I said
"Where are you going?" She asked
"We've found out the place where these people are hiding who attacked us" I said "I'm going with the troops. Till I get back I need you to look after Scar"
She nodded "I will."
I kissed her forehead "Thank you, I will be back soon"
Time to burn some ass down! The demon laughed evilly
…_...
I slowly opened my eyes and blinked to adjust the lights. Everything was a bit blurry but that was just because of the tears in my eyes. I sat up slowly and the first thing I saw was Anna who happily smiled at me then hugged me.
"Oh thank god. We were so scared for you, we thought we lost you." She said crying
I pulled her away and wiped her eyes "Hey, its ok. I'm fine now…see?"
She nodded and sat in her seat. I sighed and leaned back "What happened?" I asked
"You were shot with silver poison which is why you didn't heal" She said reminding me of our fight. Sam, where was he?
"Where is Sam?" I asked eagerly
"Relax, he's fine" She said calming me down
"And my baby?" I asked placing my hand on my stomach
"He or she is good. The baby was protecting itself…well that's what the doc told us"
I was glad to hear that. "What happened?" I asked again
"The sliver poison had spread around your body taking every life cell. If Sam hadn't brought you here on time, I don't think you would've been alive by now." She said
Even though he saved my life I still haven't forgiven him. He used me. That thought aches, even more than my arm.
"For three days you were unconscious. The doctor had removed out every drop of poison out of your body but you were giving no sign of awareness so she told us to wait till you wake up…Sam had stayed with you all day, all night, looking after you, changing you….and every time he prayed and cried for you to wake up."
Sam had done that? But why? Why would he look after me when he didn't even think of me as me.
Doctor Jen walked in and smiled at me "Hello Scarlet, its good to see you finally awake. How are you feeling? Any concussions? dizziness?"
I faintly smiled "I feel a bit dizzy and everything looks a bit blurry. I have a headache too"
"It'll be alright soon. It's happening because of the enchanted medications we gave you. It's normal. Your fine and your baby's fine too" She said smiling at me
"Thanks" I said
She nodded and checked my pulse then went out.
I looked back at Anna "where is Sam?"
She sighed "One of the men who attacked you guys spoke up. The guards interrogated him and found out about the locations of the others who are hiding. Sam has gone with the troops to get those people"
I nodded. I was glad things were working out. I closed my eyes and didn't know when I dozed off.
…_...
I woke up a while later. Anna bought me my cloths.
"Change up. The doctor said your all good and she's discharged you"
I was thankful for that. I wanted to get home as soon as possible. I quickly changed cloths with the help of Anna. Then we went home. Home sweet home.
When we reached home, I went in my room but Sam wasn't there. He still hadn't returned, I guess. It also had me worried for Sam. I just hoped he was ok. I just hope he returns home safely.
Whatever happened between us was not good bu I would never want him to get hurt. I want him to return home safely so I could ask him, what he feels for me….
Little did I know, his one trip to war would change my life forever…
