(A/N): keep up the R&R so I can post the next chapter. I'm pretty sure there's only going to be about 1 or 2 more chapters, sniff it's coming to the end.

IMPORTANT: Hi guys well this chapter is short and it's all about Eclipse and the princess.

DWELLING ON THE PAST, FINDING A FURTER

Eclipse watched the girl as he listened intensively to her explanation.

"When you were sent away on your mission I never got to tell you how much I- how much I love you." Tears of joy fell form her eyes as she gave Eclipse a weak smile.

"Princess I…" He wasn't sure what to do or say he had never had anyone love him.

"Please call me Gabreyel." She said as she came closer to help him sit up.

"I… Gabreyel you shouldn't be here you could get hurt, you are the only heir to the thrown of our planet." He said as he turned away from her, his eyes somewhat watery.

He was remembering the laws of his home planet, only a prince could love the princess and he was not a prince he was a protector of the crown and nothing more. He may have feelings for her but he could never show it. It was against the law for her to love him and he couldn't let her do this.

"Princess you can't love me, you are to love a price and that I am not." He said, his eyes still watery.

Her tears fell now in sadness as she tried to face the royal guardian, but he would not turn to face her, he couldn't look at those beautiful blue eyes, they were just too much for him to bare. She couldn't understand why he was acting this way. She put her hand to his face and turned it to her own; his eyes were closed trying to keep tears from falling. He opened his eyes, they were filled with tears that he refused to let fall. His eyes locked with hers, they were beautiful and blue and just as before when he locked his eyes wither hers and couldn't turn away, her eyes wouldn't let him.

"Gabreyel, I don't love you." His words pierced his own heart; he had to do what was right for his planet, what was right for her.

He was coming even closer to letting tears fall but kept refusing to let them. Gabreyel didn't look a way she continued to gaze upon him, her eyes no longer filled with sorrow she could not turn away from Eclipse.

"Eclipse your eyes speak louder than your words and your eyes say that you couldn't love me anymore than you do right now." "I don't care what the law is or who I am, it doesn't matter if I can't be with you, because you are my reason for living, I love you, and without your love I'm falling apart, I can't live without you Eclipse." She said as she took his hand and put it close to her face as she let a few silent tears fall.

Eclipse listened to what she said, and he realized that she was right, he felt the same way about her he loved her, and he realized that he need her just as much as she need him.

"Gabreyel, I'm sorry for what I said, I understand how you feel, because I love you too." He pulled her close and for the first time, they shared a kiss, sweet, tender, and affectionate.

Eclipse released her and gave a warm smile and he finally let a tear roll down his cheek.
