(last time on Forbidden Romance)
That night and for many nights to follow we kept meeting in the garden of the palace. We would sneak out into the
night to meet. We would talk and sometimes kiss. We always had to be careful though, for if we were caught meeting god
knows what could and would happen. But I didn't want to think about that. I knew when I came into this relationship what
I would be getting myself into. I was so happy being there with him, well I was anyway. I was until one night. One
night changed everything. Everything in my world got turned upside down just from that one night.

Chapter 8

At the usual time I stepped out onto my balcony. I walked over to the edge and with one swift jump I was down on the
ground. I crouched low to the ground and looked for any guards that might be around. I saw none so I ran as quickly as I
could towards the forest. I dodged between the trees until I came upon a clearing. The moon shone down brightly on it and in
the middle of the clearing I could see one lone figure. I smiled and started to run to it. When I was almost there the figure
turned around and immediately smiled when they saw me. I jumped into the arms of the person so happy to be able to do so.
Their arms came around me and we just stood holding each other. Finally they spoke. "I missed holding you B-chan." I smiled.
"And I missed you holding me, Goten." I loosened my grip on him and made it so we were looking at each other. I
smiled again and I raised my lips to meet his. Once again the tingling feeling came forth. I felt the tip of his tongue
along the bottom of my lip asking for entrance. I allowed him. Soon our tongues were dancing again. But he broke the kiss
suddenly. I looked at him startled. We released our holds on each other and I looked up at him. "What is it Goten?"
"Nothing. I just thought I heard something." I gave him a worried look.
"Well, hopefully it was nothing. Most likely just an animal." I said trying to reassure him and myself.
"I hope your right." He then took my hand and we started to walk side by side. I didn't know why but something kept
pulling at the back of my mind. Telling me something was wrong. I tried to ignore it but I couldn't. I stopped walking and
Goten turned to look at me.
"Goten, something's wrong. I don't know how I know but I just do." He looked at me.
"I know what you mean. I feel it too." He said worriedly.
"Goten if anything happens tonight, I just want you to know that I love you." I said looking into his eyes.
"I knew that B-chan. But it's better to hear those words come out of your sweet mouth. And as you already know, I
love you with all my heart." He said smiling. I smiled back and closed the gap between us. The world around me started to
spin and I couldn't feel or see anything but him. We were both lost in each other and didn't realize that people were coming
to us until it was too late. Suddenly I felt like Goten had been ripped away. I opened my eyes and screamed. Two men where
holding him trying to keep him under control. I started to run forward to help Goten but a pair of arms came around me and
someone said, "I don't think so." I looked back at the man and started to struggle. I kicked and my arms flew. I tried to
punch him but I couldn't. I took my foot and rammed it down on his foot; I got no reaction out of him. My eyes were filled
with fear and hatred. I had to get out of this man's grasp. I just had too. I yelled at him and tried to punch him again. I
continued to do this but I finally realized that it was pointless. I looked over towards Goten who was also just stopped
struggling. As I looked closer at the two men holding him, I saw the royal badge on both uniforms. I gasped and I immediately
knew there was now going to be a large problem.
"So, the princess and the general have finally been caught." The one holding me sneered.
"The punishment is quite harsh you know, general." One of them holding him said. Goten looked at them with cold eyes
and then looked at me. His eyes showed love and fear. I couldn't stand the way he looked, so alone and defeated. I started to
cry and I once again started to struggle.
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" I screamed. Out of the corner of my eye I saw that Goten had also resumed
struggling against the two. What they did next surprised me. They took a club and hit Goten on the head with it. They hit him
so hard that he fell unconscious and soon a small trickle of blood appeared. "GOTEN!!!!" I screamed. I saw them pick him up
like a rag doll and then start to head back. I struggled like crazy to get out of the man's hold but I could not. Tears ran
down my face and I couldn't even see because my eyes were so blurred from them. I soon felt the man picking me up and taking
me back towards the palace. But we were heading in a different direction then the others were. "GOTEN!!!!" I screamed one
last time. My tears increased as I thought of what might happen. 'Goten. Oh Goten, how could this of happened! I love you so
much! And I never want to lose you. But I think I might. Oh I might my dear Goten. For the punishment you will face is death.'
I hung my head and let the tears continue.

Well, there you go! It's done! I really hope that you liked that chapter. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed
my last chapter. And please review this one.
OMG!!!! I'm SOOO sorry about not posting sooner. But if you read my profile you would of know why. FF.N wouldn't let
me post. And I finally decided to try to use another computer. I did and it worked. I know, I know, your thinking why didn't
she do that sooner? Well, I guess it was because well, I'm not sure. I just figured that if it didn't work on mine why would
it work on my dad's. But it did. And I'm sooo happy because of that. Anyway, I really am sorry for this delay. And sadly but
truthfully I don't even have the next part done. But I know why I don't. I get my energy to write from reviews. I like to
know what ppl think on them . And so when I didn't have the reviews to help me write, well, I just didn't see any reason to
write. But I'm back, and ready to write and post again. ^_^ And once again, hope you liked this chapter. And please, please
review on this. Well, I guess that's it. And until next time (which will hopefully will be soon).
