Lost Souls
Chapter Two
After Musa had finally calmed down she reluctantly stepped out of Riven's warm comforting embrace.
Riven looked a bit embarrassed at his show of feelings and tried to regain himself again, but he still felt sorry for her being in such a situation as this.
"I can't marry him, it wasn't my choice," she blurted out feeling as if she had to defend herself.
Riven just nodded his head, "Your father made the decision not you, there will be away through this" he said knowing exactly what she was feeling.
When he was nine years old his father had told him he was to marry a princess to unite the kingdoms, Riven had kept his anger in check like his father had taught him, he still heeded his fathers words, 'Woman are a weakness, Emotions are weakness, don't fall for a woman's charms and you will live longer than I have' his father had told Riven while on his death bed. Riven was alone after his father had passed on, he'd never known his mother and had no other siblings to talk to so he naturally learned to coop up his emotions.
"But how? there's only one way for me to stop this, and that's to run away" her voice showed that she was determined.
"You will not run away, maybe you'll like him, did you think of that?" he asked angrily, mainly at her father for putting her in this position.
"He's a jerk, he thinks he's all that" she said revolted that she even at to think about him.
"So you've met him?" he asked getting that impression from her words.
"Well no, but my friends told me, he's properly just an spoilt brat like all princes, well except for Prince Sky" she defended Prince Sky.
"Do you even know his name?" he asked as they started walking through the forest back to town.
"No, father didn't tell me anything about his name, but he does know the name of his kingdom" she smiled remembering her father.
"And?" he was slightly aggravated that she was taking so long to answer.
"Eraklon, or something like that… wait what's wrong?" she asked when she saw his face go pale.
"Oh god" was all he could utter, and after a while she understood, "You're… I mean…no it can't be," she uttered all he could do was look at her.
"Wait…just wait ok" but before he could calm her down she pushed him out of her way and started towards Alfea.
Riven could only watch as she ran away, she, his betrothed, his intended. After a while of trying to understand all these thoughts that were muddled up in his head, he remembered she said she was thinking of running away.
"Damn" he cursed and ran to Alfea hoping he wasn't to late.
Musa shoved all her necessities into her backpack; she was lucky that her friends had gone out to spend the days with their parents.
She stuffed her cash into her pockets and after making sure she hadn't left anything behind closed the door to her room.
She couldn't believe it, all this time Riven was her betrothed, she would not marry him.
She laughed when she suddenly realised, her friends had been right, he was an arrogant cold-hearted jerk.
As she started walking out into the Alfea hall she saw Riven at the end of it, coming her way.
Quickly she opened her door but not before he saw her, she ran to the balcony and changed into her Winx form and not bothering looking back she started to fly off the balcony.
But not fats enough for the next second she felt a strong masculine hand wrap around her boot covered ankle.
"You aren't going anywhere" Riven ordered as he pulled her back down to look her in the eyes.
"Let go, you can't stop me" she demanded swinging her bag at his head.
"If you haven't forgot I legally own you" he said and immediately regretted his words when she sunk down to him.
Her shoulders hunched in defeat she defiantly looked at him determined not to hit him, although she would have loved nothing more than to see him in pain.
"I won't marry you" she growled as she turned her face away from his gaze.
"Well I don't exactly want to marry you either" he admitted harshly as he eyed her backpack.
"Good because I wont, and before you think you own me I'll tell you this, I hate you" she bit out as she walked past him and threw her bag on her bed before she went to her dressing table bringing something out.
It was the gift he had sent to his 'betrothed' when he first came to earth, "And yo can have this back" she whispered throwing it at him.
He caught it without even looking, turning it over to see its jewel, the necklace was his mothers, red rubies were encased in it.
"It was a present for, well, obviously you" he said with a hollow emotionless laugh that sent chills down her spine.
"I intend to get this betrothal broken" she informed him as she grabbed her cell phone.
He was all to happy to help her, but when he remembered his father tell him that it was his wish to see the kingdoms unite he knew he'd have to marry her.
"I'll make you a deal" he said and waited for her to ask what he meant, she just rose her brow and folded her arms in front of her waiting.
"Give me one week, seven days, to convince you to marry me, and if you still don't want to then I will end the engagement" he waited for her answer.
"Fine, but it's you that will lose" she shrugged her shoulders and sounded very confident of herself.
Riven just smiled, let the seduction begin.
