Zidane dragged himself through the gates of Alexandria; he was covered in a
tattered brown cloak and looked weathered and tired. He wandered over to
the café and leaned against the now renovated exterior. He let his head
fall back. "Oh god why did I come back, I'm trying to torture myself now am
I," he thought to himself. He replaced his hood and started towards the
docks, "I'm not ready for this, I can't do it, she's too much to me, and
I'm never going to be able to be just friends." He arrived at the docks and
starting look for the next boat out of Alexandria.

"So let me get this straight your highness, you find this beautiful?"
"Prince Damon, this is beauty, these are my people, the working force behind the country. They live out their days simply, they love their families, they work hard for their meals and they love what they do, it's simply beautiful."
"You are insane. Let's get out of here." Prince Damon grabbed Garnet's arm pulling her back into the city.
"Prince Damon! Get your hands off of me! How dare you speak to the Queen in this manor!" Garnet tried to release herself from his grip but was failing miserably. He took both her hands and tried to pin her down.
"Listen Garnet, I don't care if you're the queen! I'm still the man get it! And you'll do what I say!" Garnet looked around for somebody, anybody, they had left the docks and were in some kind of alley between buildings, she was alone.
"Ahhhh! Get off me! Please, let me go! Help!" She twisted around in his grip and tried to kick him, but he quickly took control back and pinned her on the ground. Her vision became blurry through the tears and his smile widened. "Oh god help me!" She yelped before having a handkerchief shoved in her mouth.
"That's it Garnet, scream, I'm the man and you won't forget it. You can't ignore me now can you?"
************************************************************************
"Please can you take me to wherever you are going? I can pay you."
"I'm sorry son, I'm making a fishing trip, middle of this here ocean then right back."
"Alright thank you." Figures, the only boat leaving today is making a fishing trip. Zidane wiped his forehead with the back of his head, now what am I going to do. He started walking back into the main part of the city, his head hung in desperation, until he heard something from the alley behind him. He swung around and listened again for any sounds.
"Get…….Please…Help!" Another creep, Zidane threw off his cloak and followed the sound down the alley. What he saw, he defiantly wasn't prepared for. He saw his Dagger on the ground with some rich creep on top of her. Angry surged through his whole body, his breath became shallow and he pounced.
"Get the hell of her you bastard!" He flung himself at the Prince and tackled him off of the queen and on the alley floor; he drew out his dagger and held it to the Princes neck blinking away anger that flowed through every part of him. He was about to end his life when he saw Dagger rise behind him with eyes full of unreadable emotion. He took a deep breath. "If you ever come near Alexandria again, unless it's for a long dungeon sentence for harassing the Queen, I will kill you."
The Prince now with a look of complete terror on his face nodded as much as the dagger would allow. Zidane rose and turned around as Prince Damon ran for his life. He put his hand over his eyes trying to rid himself of the anger. He finally straightened and turned around to face Garnet whose eyes were glossy and whose hand was resting on her chest once more. Zidane almost fell, his eyes softened and his lips parted with a look of amazement. How can she be more beautiful every time I see her? He wanted to run over to her and wipe those vicious tears from her eyes, and stroke her face, comfort her. He simply took a step forward and choked on his voice letting out nothing more than a gasp. He finally bowed, raising his head to look at her once more.
