Chapter 8
'Why must he come around me?' she thought as she put away condor. She brushes him. When she finished, she put away the brushed and return to her room. As she was returning to her room, she ran into Alton.
"Alton!" she said with happiness.
"Karigan…I…" Alton stuttered. Sadness entered her eyes.
"Alton, I am sorry for whatever I did," Karigan said.
"No, it wasn't you. It was Monhaven. He/you told me to break the wall. And when I saw you, I saw my own future. I…gods, I can't say the right words around you," Alton said as he began to pace in the hallway.
"Alton," she said as she put a hand on his shoulder, "I forgive you."
He stops and looks at her. " You can't…" he started
"I can and I will," she said, " now let's get something to drink and talk," Karigan laughed.
"Lady," a voice said. Karigan turned around.
"What now, Fastion?" she asked, annoyed.
"The king wishes to see you," he said. Karigan looked at Alton. He smiled.
"Go. We'll talk later," he said. He walked away. Karigan walked with Fastion. They arrived at the King's study. Fastion knocked on the door.
"Come," said as voice from the other side. Fastion opened the door and Karigan walked into the room. Fastion closed the door behind her.
"Your majesty," she said as she curtsied.
"Karigan," Zachary said as he stood up. He walked over to her and pushed back her hair. She trembled when he touch her. His hand follows the curve of her neck and on to her shoulder.
"Zachary, what are you doing?" she breathed. He put his mouth near her ear and whispered.
"I'm tired of you running away and I'm tired of holding back," he whispered. He lowered his lips to hers and kisses her. He held her face in place as he thoroughly kisses her. Karigan brought her hands to his chest and pushed him away.
"Stop it! We can't do this!" she said, backing away, " I can't do this Estora and I won't be your mistress." She bolted the room. She stopped in the garden to catch her breath.
Zachary walked over to his desk and slams his fist down in frustration.
A/n: Hey, I know it hasn't been awhile and I'm sorry. I need your help. I'm running out of ideas. So if you have any ideas, please share them with me. I'm at a loss. So please help me.
