I would also like to explain that an anonymous geek/Black Mage is an acquaintance and she takes a queer, childish, crazy pleasure in giving me mean reviews. If you enjoyed this fanfic then you should read my other one written with an anonymous geek that I just updated even though it was written several months before.
I recommend: A Life of Love by KelDomforever, Alanna's Baby by Lady of the Wolves, Alanna's Men by Jenn of the corn, Burn Ointment Will Do That to You by Tam Cranver, Circe's Destruction by Aerinha, Close to home by PsychoLioness13, Just the Beginning by Lady of the Wolves, Lady Delia's Love by Alanna of Conte, Once but Always? By sardonicsmile, Outside Appearances by Jossie, Passions and thoughts by Angelsradar, Princess of Goldenlake by Angelique of mystiqu, She loves me? She loves me not? By Rose-of-Versailles, Strange Happenings by YamaniPrincess, and Taming the Lioness by Lady Daffodil of Queenscove. I then also recommend all of the fanfictions of an anonymous geek, Morfalasiel22, and Joslyn Sparrow. Keep up the good writing!
For a disclaimer I would like to say that none of this is mine except for the characters that you do not recognize. I would also like to say that I apologize if I have any grammatical errors. Please forgive me, but no one is perfect.
Chapter 7
There was not always peace in the Hotani Isles (sp.?) Several years ago, when Katrene was only a small child there was an attempt to take over the throne. The man that had led this rebellion was named Karagyn. He was a powerful man of great influence over the people. He was considered a close confidant of the King.
It was only a small amount of time however, when Karagyn became power hungry. His plan had failed fortunately, and he had not gotten to the royal family. Everyone thought that he had died in a final battle between him and the king. There was no evidence of this however. Karagyn was alive.
"Keep up, Raoul!" Katrene shouted to Raoul as they ran through a meadow of flowers. She slowed down and grabbed his hand as they continued forward. They then found a spot to rest under a tree.
"I had no idea that women could be so fast!" he exclaimed as he sat down heavily, glad for the reprieve. He pulled Katrene toward him on the ground. She sat down next to him, and he reached for her face to bring her lips closer to his.
They remained that way, under the shade, kissing eachother, enjoying every moment. They did not notice that a large rain cloud was travelling above them. They were so consumed with eachother.
The rain began pouring down upon them. Katrene pulled away, and looked above her shocked that they had been surprised by the sudden shower.
Raoul groaned, not wanting the moment to end and they began to run back to the palace. By the time that they had finally reached their destination, they were both soaked.
"Come, we must get you out of the rain," Raoul told her.
"Why does it matter now? I am already wet. I might as well enjoy the rain!" she shouted as she twirled around.
Raoul grabbed Katrene by the waist.
"You are so beautiful," he whispered against her face.
"I'm soaking wet!"
"It doesn't matter," Raoul murmered against her neck as he began to kiss it.
"Raoul, what are we doing?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" he responded, distractedly.
"Us. What about you and me? Where is this going to end up?"
"What are you asking me, Katrene?" he asked as she caught his attention and he looked deeply into her eyes. "Are you proposing to me?" he asked her.
She laughed. "I suppose I am."
"Well, to be proper, I suppose that I should really ask you," he told her as he pulled out a ring from his wet pocket and showed it to her, moving it between his fingers.
"Yes!" Katrene answered.
"I haven't even asked you!" Raoul exclaimed. "Katrene, will you marry me?" Raoul asked, his eyes delighted.
She wrapped her arms around his head and kissed him passionately.
"I suppose that means 'yes'?" he asked her.
She nodded her head.
"I really should get your father's permission," Raoul said, mostly to himself.
"Raoul, I meant to tell you this. I spoke to my father. He said that he refuses to see me married to you. I'm so sorry Raoul."
"Now what?" Raoul asked angrily.
"Raoul," she said, trying to calm him down, "Raoul, I don't care what my father says. I will still marry you!"
Raoul looked back at her, unsure if this was the right thing to do. He looked at her. His eyes looked dejected.
"What about when I am gone? I only have a certain amount of leave from the King. I must return to Tortal. You are a princess here, the heir to the throne! What about that? Perhaps we just are not meant to be!"
"Raoul, I do not care!" she yelled. "Let's not think about the future now. We should just live in it. I love you and you love me. What else is there to know?"
"Katrene, I am already committed to you. I cannot just walk away when it is time for me to go back. I have gotten into this too deep. I should just leave now!"
"No, Raoul! Please don't! I love you!"
Raoul closed his eyes. "I love you too, Katrene. I love you too much."
They were then interrupted by Lady Egan.
"My Lady, forgive me for interrupting, but you must come in. It's your father..."
"What is wrong with him?" she asked concerned.
"Come," Lady Egan said as she grabbed Katrene's hand and led her away.
Raoul had every intention of leaving. First, however, he had to see what was wrong with the King, Katrene's father, the man that had denied him his every desire.
Okay, there it is. I'm not too happy with this chapter, but at least I finished it. Now, click the little button that says review and leave me a nice little note.
