Pure Intentions? Chapter 23
"Teela, open the door", Adam stated forcibly his forehead resting against the door separating their rooms. He wanted to yell louder when she didn't respond to his request; however, held himself back from doing so as he didn't want to bring unwanted attention to their situation. He knew that if he raised his voice, the guards patrolling the hallway would hear them and word of their argument would reach the Queen's ears. As much as he wanted to discuss this further with his headstrong bodyguard, Adam was loathe to make it into a spectacle. He didn't want any more negative rumors about him circling the land.
Calling out her name one last time, Adam jiggled the doorknob to ensure that she had not locked the door, perhaps giving him a way into her room. Seeing that she had indeed locked it, he returned to his bed staring at the crumbled sheets in bewilderment. Why couldn't he had just tell her that she was that elusive woman when she asked him what role she would be playing in his bed? Had he done that, perhaps she would now be lying in his arms. Instead, he let his pride get in the way telling her he didn't want to be her rebound. "I'm such a hypocrite!'. 'How can I be her rebound, since it's me she's been intimate with?', he thought to himself. If he kept going at this rate, he would be pushing her farther away than he already had. Running a weary hand down his face, Adam sat on the edge of the bed trying to think of a way to fix this. If he didn't, he ran the risk of being unmarried by his birthday. As happy as he was that his parents now knew the truth about him, he was angry that his father sprung this decree upon him. Had his father not made his drastic decision, Adam wouldn't be in this bind right now.
'Who am I kidding?', he pondered. 'This is all of my fault to begin with.' 'I should have figured out a way to end it with Teela a long time ago.' 'I have no one to blame, except for my myself', he accepted.
Turning his head to gaze out the window, Adam stared at the large bright moon adorning the night sky. Here he was with the power to move the moon, yet he must be the most foolish man alive when it came to women. So much for his plan working. He knew that his responses tonight were like nails sealing his coffin. As much as he probed his mind for a way to fix this, he couldn't come up with anything. He acknowledged that he had hurt her twice. Once when he ended their affair and again tonight.
Resolved to just be his true self around her, Adam climbed back into his bed pulling the covers over his head. Closing his eyes, he brought up memories of their younger years together, something he always did when he couldn't sleep. Suddenly, an idea came to him. Climbing out of his bed, he walked to his duffle bag pulling out a portable stereo player along with the data drive he retrieved from the Attack Track, the one holding all of his mother's favorite songs from Earth. He had just thought of the perfect song to serenade Teela with. One he knew would get his point across. Lucky for him, Duncan had updated the radio player to be able to read these new data drives as well.
Teela knew when he returned to his bed. It was almost as if she felt his presence move away from her bedroom door. Removing the piled pillows from around her head, she scooted out of from the bed to go stand by the door. She could hear faint music coming from his room. Intrigued, Teela reached out her hand grabbing a hold of the doorknob. She questioned if she should unlock it. Deep down, she knew she should as having the door unlocked would save her time in case she had to quickly open the door to save Adam if he came under attack.
Realizing that she was not acting like herself, Teela unlocked the door. Opening it slowly, she peered through to the other room to see a robed Adam down on one knee, kneeling a mere feet away from her door. In his hand in front of his chest, he held a single white rose in peace offering to her. She wondered where he got it from, as his room did not have any flower bouquets laying around. She noticed that Cringer was back, could he have sneaked out of the room and retrieved the flower? Did Adam ask him to do that? If that was the case, he must care for her more than he let on, didn't he? Now she was more confused than ever.
Her gaze landing on his mouth, she realized that he was singing.
Opening the door wider, she walked into his bedroom. Standing with hands on her hips, she listened to the words he was saying. Teela recognized that the song was another one of Queen Marlena's favorite from Earth. Her son was down on one knee serenading her with one of the classics. How can she continue being mad at him with the soulful song he presented her with? His song choice bespoke of a broken-hearted man dying from loneliness. Alright, perhaps Adam was not dying nor brokenhearted, but Teela understood his intent. He was apologizing to her through this song.
Her anger at him left just as swiftly as it had overtaken her. Slowly, a smile grew on her lips especially as she watched his face. As the song continued, Adam allowed his emotions to show on his face. For the first time in her life, Teela realized that her childhood friend was a romantic. She envied the woman who held his heart. 'How could she not know he existed?', Teela thought using his own words to convey her thoughts. This woman must literally be blind not to see the awesome man in front of her. If Adam went to these lengths to make amends to bring peace between them, Teela wondered at the lengths he would go to in order to win over his lady love? Her heart constricting in her chest, Teela realized that she would have to get over her feelings for him. Adam deserved a chance at love. If she continued sleeping in the same bed as him, she acknowledged that her feelings for him would grow. However, that would only make his case at winning the heart of the woman he desired even more difficult.
Teela made the decision to put Eternia's needs in front of her own. The King needed Adam to marry before his next birthday. She promised her father that she would see this done. She wouldn't let her foolish emotions impede Adam's chances at finding true love. Standing in his bedroom, Teela resolved to keep only a strictly professional relationship between them. That meant that no matter how much she ached to be in his arms, she would not give in to her temptations. She would overcome her feelings for him, even if it killed her. Eternia needed her to do this.
She also acknowledged that he was correct. She wasn't yet completely over her feelings for He-Man. He was right not to kiss her back, especially considering her feelings for Grayskull's Champion and his for the woman he loved. She was lucky that Adam wasn't the type of man who led women on. She had to give him props for that one. Perhaps that was due to his gentlemanly upbringing. Or perhaps it was due to their long lasting friendship. Whichever the reason, Teela was glad that he chose not to take advantage of her.
Adam stood up before the song ended. Closing the distance between them, he handed her the rose before stating, "I'm sorry."
Bringing the fragrant bud to her nose, she inhaled deeply looking over the top of the flower to meet his gaze. Nodding her head, she smiled at him. "No hard feelings", she replied after sniffing her fill.
"Friends?", he asked.
"Best friends", she answered good-naturedly. The good thing about their friendship was that they often made up quickly after fights. Many times their relationship was like that of an older brother with a younger sister, Teela having served that role for Adam all the years his twin was missing. It wasn't until their teenage years, that the relationship started changing for both of them. Recalling her thoughts from the night of his birthday ball, Teela remembered that their relationship did not deteriorate to its current state until after she became intimate with He-Man. Suddenly, everything became crystal clear to her.
The valiant captain was sure that Adam had known about her affair with Eternian's Champion, prior to her revelation of it during their private birthday dinner. The question was how. Teela admitted it was time she spoke with He-Man about this, as she was under the impression that he kept their romantic involvement a secret. Just like she had done, until she shared her broken heart with the Prince.
What Teela also didn't know, was why Adam was acting as if he wanted their friendship to go back to what it was pre-He-Man. Teela also debated her willingness to do that.
Deciding on a plan of action, she would contact her father in the morning asking for him to notify He-Man that she would like an audience. Teela knew that her father was one of the few people on the planet that was aware of where her ex-lover resided. She was also sure her father knew He-Man's true identity.
"Will you stay with me?", she heard him asking.
Cocking her head to the side, she stood silently studying him. She took in his ramrod straight back, his arms down his side, his fists clenched tightly as he stood in the middle of the room waiting for her to respond.
Shaking her head in the negative she responded, "I have an early day tomorrow." "Thanks Adam, but I have to pass", before turning around to walk out of his room.
Adam stood there with his head hung low for several moments after her departure. He continued feeling the fool. Serenading her had worked to get her to forgive his foolishness, but it didn't work in getting her to return to his bed. At this point, he knew he needed a miracle.
Before he had a chance to fall on his knees to beg the Goddess for divine intervention, Adam saw a bright flash stream by her window. Without thinking, he ran into her room tackling her to the floor as a Molotov Cocktail came crashing into her room. Turning his head to where the explosive lay, Adam gave a quick thank to the Ancients that it did not detonate. However, he knew they had moments to run to safety before it did.
Climbing off of her while grabbing her around the waist, he lifted her into his arms as he made a mad dash through his bedroom and into the adjoining bathroom. Jumping into the porcelain bathtub, Adam lay above her his larger body covering her entire form. Within moments, they felt the explosion rock her bedroom.
They had narrowly escaped sure death.
Years of survival training kicking in, Adam turned on the water as he directed Teela to grab the towels hanging over the tub. Soaking them, he handed her one as he covered his mouth and nose. Teela didn't need to be told to do the same, before they both scampered out of the bathtub and their suite. As they exited the room, they were met by Queen Sumana's guards and Cringer.
"What happened?", asked Major Strikkes the Arcadian guard who was stationed outside their suite for the night.
"A Molotov Cocktail, just blew up Captain Teela's room", Adam answered, his voice laced with dread. In just a matter of a weeks, Teela's life had come under attack twice. Now he knew that it was beyond mere coincidence. Someone was out to harm her. Adam wondered why.
"Are the two of you alright?"
Both Adam and Teela turned to see King Ananda striding purposefully down the hallway. The Arcadian fire brigade followed behind him. Reaching Teela's demolished room, they quickly put the fire out. Their quick sure actions prevented the flames from spreading to any other rooms.
Inclining their heads in respect, Teela answered "Yes, Your Majesty." "Thankfully, we are unharmed." "Boy that was a close one."
Turning to the guards on duty, the Arcadian king directed "Major Strikkes have your guards check the perimeter." "Major Aet, have your guards check the computer room to see if anything is amiss." "Someone must have tampered with our security system for the city's protective shields to be down."
"Your Highness, Captain Teela please follow me", the auburn haired king directed as he showed them the way to his own private apartments. It was then that Teela noticed that Prince Adam still had his arms wrapped protectively around her waist. He noticed the same thing, as with surprise he cleared his throat dropped his hands and stepped away from her. Wordlessly, they followed the Arcadian Royal Consort down the hallway.
As they walked to his and Queen Sumana's suite, the level headed former slave apologized for the lack of security. He ensured them that the guards would apprehend the perpetrator. Once he or she was found, he would inform his visitors from Eternos.
Arriving at the Royal Suite, King Ananda entered the security code in the door panel giving Adam and Teela entrance to their new bedroom for the night. Before leaving, he asked "I'm sorry that this room doesn't have separate beds." "I hope that won't be a problem?"
Looking at each other, the childhood friends answered in unison "No, Your Majesty."
Alone in their room, they chose which side of the bed to sleep on. Climbing under the covers, they lay with their backs against the headrest each thankful that the other was not hurt.
Moments later, Adam turned his head to look at his beloved whose eyes were still wide open. "Can't fall asleep?", he asked her.
Scooting lower, Teela positioned her head upon his pectorals before answering, "No."
Adjusting his pillows, Adam copied her movements lowering his head to lay flat on his back. Bringing a hand up, he cupped the back of her head bringing her closer in contact with his chest. "Me neither", he answered.
"Do you think this attack is related to the one from Morainia?", she asked.
Running his hand through her long unbound flame colored tresses, Adam thought of his response before giving it. "I'm presuming it is."
Lifting her head, she stared into his clear blue eyes "Why would someone want me dead?"
"I'm not sure, Tee", he said worriedly shaking his head side to side. Silently, he vowed that he would get to the bottom of this. As soon as Teela fell asleep, he would sneak out of the bed, transform into He-Man and go on the hunt. No one threatened his love without facing repercussions from the bravest Eternian warrior.
Closing her eyes, Teela wondered who her nemesis was. That was presuming that the bomb was meant for her and not the Prince. Suddenly becoming apprehensive, Teela hoped that the threat was meant for her and not for him. The seriousness of their circumstances necessitated a very drastic decision. "Adam", she called to him. When their gazes met again she continued, "Given the circumstances, I'm sleeping next to you every night until we return to Eternos."
"No problem", he answered.
An hour later, they were both turned on their sides facing away from each other. Each thought the other was asleep. Each was however still wide awake.
Removing the bedcovers, Teela was the first to leave the bed. Adam didn't turn to stop her, thinking with her out of the bed it will give him a chance to quickly transform, jump out the window, complete a quick reconnaissance of the palace grounds including Teela's demolished bedroom, and return to the room all before she finished using the bathroom. He could be that fast as He-Man.
Teela padded softly into the adjoining bathroom. Standing over the sink, she let the cold water before splashing her face with it. Picking up a nearby towel, she dried herself before opening the bathroom's door. Peeking out of the bathroom, she saw that Adam was no longer in the bed. 'He must be using the bathroom too.' 'This gives me a chance to sneak out of the room', she thought. Tiptoeing to the balcony, she softly drew open the glass doors and stepped into the cool night air. Looking down at herself, she realized that she was still dressed in a bathrobe. Her apparel gave her momentary pause; however, Teela was not one to let the lack of proper clothes get in her way of completing her job. If these attacks were meant to hurt the Prince of Eternia, she was hard pressed to do everything in her power to stop them.
Somersaulting from one balcony to the next, Teela made it all the way back to her original bedroom. With the glass doors blown in from the impact of the bomb, Teela did not have any difficulty entering the room. Careful not to cut her legs on any of the glass shards, she walked into the bedroom.
"Umph", she cried out as she slammed into a solid chest of pure muscle. Pulling back, she tilted her head back to stare into the cerulean hard stare of Grayskull's Defender.
Reaching out a hand to steady her, He-Man asked "Captain, what are you doing here?", his voice gruff having been caught by surprise.
"I can ask you the same thing", she said as she took a tentative step backwards.
He-Man couldn't answer. When he had left Teela in the bathroom, he had no idea they both had the same plan. What excuse could he give her for his presence as she would surely wonder how he knew of this new threat?
He hated when she turned the tables on him. He may have asked the initial question, but having her follow it with one of her own, put him in the position to need to answer. Racking his mind he responded with the only logical explanation. At least it was a half truth. "Prince Adam notified me of the attack on your person tonight."
Teela wondered when the 'Prince' had the opportunity to do so, as they were together the entire time. Opening her mouth to tell him she didn't believe him, Teela abruptly turned her head as she saw a shadow fly inside the room's closet. Walking towards it, Teela came to stop outside of the demolished room. Looking over at He-Man, she signed for him to join her. She also used sign language to let him know that she was going to sneak up on the intruder. Off course he objected, his need to protect her even stronger now that they were closing in on the trespasser.
Before either could act, the shadow flew past them yelling in a high-pitch voice "Dada." "I'm baaack."
The room suddenly flooded in light, Teela and He-Man stared at their little Trollan friend.
"Orko", they both yelled simultaneously.
"Heya", the Trollan chirped back.
"You gave me a heart attack", Teela threw at him.
"Sorry, Tee", the flying red garbed magician answered. "I wasn't expecting you."
"What are you doing here?", she asked him.
"Looking for you and Adam." "I came back from Trolla and knew you'd be staying here." "When I saw the demolished room, I called He-Man", the Trollan volunteered.
Teela was shocked. "You called He-Man?", she asked.
"Yup, he's always around when you need him", Orko stated before turning to the hulking giant of a man. "Isn't that right, He-Man?", he asked.
Quickly catching onto his ploy, He-Man verified that it was indeed Orko who had summoned him.
Continuing, Orko exclaimed "I also filled him in on the attack of your horse and how Adam saved you."
He-Man's eyebrows went up with that. He was thankful for Orko's timely intervention and his covering up of his presence. He-Man was actually not aware that Orko was back. He realized that his little buddy must have heard their line of questioning and decided to cover for him.
However, Teela had held on to his explanation of his presence. It didn't match what Orko had said. Lowering her lashes, she stared questioningly at them both.
Orko felt her hard stare, feeling as she could see through his dark red robe. Swallowing hard, he pulled on the neckline of his robe giving himself more room to breathe. His eyes quickly darting to his disguised friend he hoped he had not just messed things up for him. He realized his faux pas. He-Man had just said that Adam informed him of the carnage, whereas he had reported that he was the one to call for him. Oops.
Continuing to stare between them, the wheels in Teela's mind turned quickly as she glued more pieces of the puzzle together.
Directing her gaze towards He-Man, she stated "So Adam called for you?"
"Yes", he answered. He wasn't going to embellish on his excuse as doing so would require for him to outright lie to her, something he avoided doing whenever possible. Furthermore, if he said anything more he knew that it would discredit Orko, something he didn't want to do as his magical friend was trying to help him.
"How?", she questioned him.
"Adam knows where to find me", he replied curtly.
Then Orko continued, "Yup, through me." "I found him", he insisted.
"What have you found out?", she asked him changing the topic of conversation. Now their stories made more sense. She knew that Orko had the ability to materialize anywhere near his friends. She had no choice but to believe the two of them.
"Just the location where your attacker stood when they threw the explosive, nothing more", he answered.
"Prince Adam thinks these attacks are meant for me." "Do you concur?", she asked him keeping her gaze steady on his handsome but clearly worried features.
Nodding, he tore his gaze away from her as his attention landed on a folded piece of paper that seemed to have survived the explosion. Walking towards it, he bend down to retrieve it. When he straightened he noticed that Teela closed the distance between them, her eyes now glued to the missive.
"What is that?", she asked.
"Wait!", Orko yelled out, frantically waving his hands out in front of him.
Both turning their heads to the Trollan they waited for him to join them. "It could be a second explosive", he warned. "Give it to me", he requested as he popped open the top part of his red pointed wizards hat.
He-Man looked at him quizzically before entrusting him. Handing him the folded parchment, he watched as Orko dropped it into his hat.
Time ticked by slowly as they waited for his assessment. When nothing happened, Orko reopened his hat, reaching into its depths with his long slender blue arm. Fishing around he retrieved a variety of objects before closing his fingers around the desired item. "Aha", he rejoiced when he pulled the piece of paper out.
"This note is magically protected, that's why it didn't combust when the Molotov Cocktail exploded." "It's for you", he said as he turned to Teela.
"Orko, perhaps you should give it to me", He-Man requested.
"You won't be able to read it, He-Man." "It's meant for Teela only", Orko said as he passed the note to her. "It won't harm you."
Trusting her friend, Teela took the piece of parchment from him. Unfolding it, the sheet of paper was larger than what it originally seemed. Opening it to its entirety, Teela saw cut out colored letters glued onto the missive. It read: yOu WiLl noT SucCeeD!
"What does it say?", He-Man asked.
Handing it to him, Teela walked out onto the balcony racking her brain as to what the missive could mean.
He-Man looked down onto the piece of paper, seeing nothing. However, he deduced the message was upsetting to Teela, as he watched her wrap her arms around her shoulders shielding herself. Worried that she shouldn't be so openly exposed on the balcony in case the perpetrator was still on the loose, he called for her to come back inside the room.
With head lowered, she did as he requested.
In a soft comforting voice, he asked her to relay the note's message. Looking into his large oceanic colored eyes she stated, "It says 'You will not succeed'."
"In what?", he asked, his eyebrows quirked in curiosity.
"I have no idea!", she stated angrily.
Perplexed all three occupants of the room, stood facing each other He-Man holding the missive out between them. In a moment of clarity he stated, "Teela, may I hold on to this piece of paper?"
"Sure, but why?", she asked him.
"I'll take it to the Sorceress and see what she can come up with." "Perhaps there's clues as to who is behind all of this that only she will be able to discern."
"I'll come with you then", Teela replied.
"That won't be necessary, Captain", he informed her. He needed to speak with Teela's mother alone.
"Off course it is." "Your duty isn't to worry about me", she stated assuredly. "I'll retrieve my uniform and we can leave right away." "Oh, but first I should let Adam know that we are leaving", she continued as she stared intently at him. Teela watched carefully for his reaction.
"I wasn't planning on going tonight", he stated impassionedly as a means to ensure that she wouldn't insist on coming with him. He was worried that she would insist he accompany her back to their new suite, where she would see that Adam was missing. If she did, he wouldn't be able to explain why he was missing. He had to get her to change her mind about joining him.
'Off course he isn't', Teela thought. 'Why should he go tonight, I'm not that important to him.' With that realization, Teela stated aloud "I misunderstood, I'm sorry", before leaving him alone in the room. Walking out onto the balcony, she prepared to return to her bedroom that same way she had traveled to this one.
He-Man heard the dejection in her voice and wondered for its reason. 'What did I do now?', he questioned himself. It seemed that Teela reacted negatively to every word that came out of his mouth whether he spoke to her as He-Man or Adam. Seeing her perched on top of the railing prepared to somersault onto the next balcony, he called out to her.
Stilling her movements, she turned to look at him. She waited patiently to see what he would say, staring at him as he walked onto the balcony. Coming to stand beside her, he uttered "I'm not done here, Teela." "I'll come back in the morning and we can talk about whether or not you need to come with me to Grayskull." "Deal?", he asked.
Instead of answering his question, she asked him one of her own. "What did you mean, by saying there is nothing more you can give me?"
Her words startled him. He hadn't expected her to ask him this question. Looking at her questioningly, he waited until she clarified, "I haven't given you a chance to explain yourself after you…", she tilted her head to see if he would get her drift. She didn't want to say the words aloud as Orko was still in the room.
Looking behind his shoulder, He-Man realized that she wasn't going to finish her sentence. He understood her implication and noticed her hesitation to state it in front of the Trollan.
"Orko, why don't you let Prince Adam know that I'll return Teela to bed in a few minutes." "I'm sure he's probably wandering where she's disappeared to", he requested from the floating magician.
Joining them on the balcony, Orko stated "Sure thing, He-Man", before vanishing into thin air.
Holding his hand out to her, he beckoned for her to follow him back inside. Accepting his assistance, Teela let him lift her off the railing. She sucked in her breath as soon as their bodies made full contact. She didn't expect this immediate reaction to his nearness, immediately feeling herself grow wet between her legs. Yup, she still wasn't over him. 'Perhaps, I shouldn't have asked him that stupid question', Teela thought too late. She was in a very weird predicament. She continued to lust after Grayskull's Champion but her heart yearned for the Prince.
He-Man also reacted to their closeness. He smelled her fresh washed hair, remembering the feel of it in his hands not too long ago. Taking a deep breath he took a step backwards, bringing much needed space between them. Turning, he wordlessly walked into the room he had previously used as his bedroom. Hearing her booted feet on the marbled floor, he was sure she followed him.
Sitting on the bed, he motioned for her to join him. Teela easily complied.
"Your finally ready to hear why I ended our relationship?", he turned to ask her.
"Yes."
With his blue gazed glued onto her turquoise one, he drew a deep breath before he answered her. Deciding to leave all pretext aside, he spoke from the heart "It was hearing King Randor's announcement about Prince Adam needing to marry that spurred me to end it with you."
His words shocked her. She was partly right, she thought. It was because she was right in her theory that Adam and He-Man are one and that's why he ended it with her. Abruptly standing up, she turned angry tearful eyes to him asking, "What does one have to do with the other?", needing for him to state the truth to her.
At that moment, He-Man decided to do something he wasn't yet ready to do as 'Prince'. Also standing up, he reached for her hand. Teela didn't try pulling out of his hold as she waited for him to answer her question.
"It's simple Teela." "Adam is in love with you", he stated with all the emotion he could muster.
His words left her breathless. She couldn't move. Her ears must be deceiving her, she thought.
"What?", she heard herself ask in a small voice, one that didn't match her usual confidence.
"Prince Adam….",
"I heard you", she interrupted him as she turned away from him, her entire frame shaking. Surely, he was besting. Adam wasn't in love with her. He loved a mystery woman back in Eternos. If he was in love with her, he would have kissed her back yesterday. Wouldn't he? Then Teela remembered his words, that he didn't want to be her rebound. 'He must think I still want to be involved with He-Man!', she stated inwardly.
"Teela, are you alright?", he asked sitting back down on the bed. He couldn't see her face nor eyes; therefore, he couldn't see how she reacted to his words.
Turning slowly, she faced him. Surprising even herself she queried, "So you ended it with me, to give him a chance?"
"Yes."
"Did he ask you to?", she asked.
He gave her a confused look. Seeing that her query left him confused she clarified "Did Adam ask you to step aside, so that he can take your place?"
"No, I made that decision on my own." "Teela, my duty to Grayskull prevents me from marrying." "Although you seemed fine with our arrangement, I knew it wasn't fair for me to keep you in it."
"So I should give Prince Adam a chance?", she asked him.
She heard a loud sigh escape his lips. How did he answer this one? Off course, he wanted to say yes. However, he prevented himself from doing so as he had taken an oath never to use the Power of Grayskull for his own personal reasons. Therefore, he answered her the best he could. "That's your choice, Captain." "I can't tell you what to decide."
Nodding, she accepted his logic. Then she surprised herself even more. Reaching out, she placed a hand upon his chiseled shoulder as she said, "Thank you for the closure." "Would you do me a favor?"
"Sure, Teela", he answered.
Smiling coyly at him, she leaned in to reach his ear. With a quick movement of her hand, she flipped his long hair behind his ear as she whispered, "Tell Adam, he should have kissed me!"
With that she stood up, ran to the balcony and jumped over it leaving He-Man alone on the bed, a look of genuine surprise on his face.
