Last time -Helena walked in smiling. "I have some good news for you"

Lucy's pov

Someone walked up behind Helena but I didn't see who it was because I was looking at Helena. Well I was till I heard Marcus gasp. I turned my head to look at Marcus and he pointed to whoever had just walked in. I turned to look at who Marcus was pointing at. "Nicholas" I gasped. I ran up and hugged him. He lent down slowly and kissed me; I put my hands round his neck and pulled him closer to me. I felt him wince. I stopped kissing him and looked at him concerned. "What's wrong?" I asked. He sighed. "Nothing" he said. "Then why did you wince" I replied. He took his top off and turned around. I saw a huge cut going down his back and a load of little ones as well. Me, Helena and Marcus gasped. "Where did you get them" I cried leaping to my feet and going over to him. "I'll tell you later. When the others get back" Nicholas said. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. I heard Helena leave the room.

She came back a few minutes later with a first aid kit which she gave to me. I sat down on the bead and rummaged through the first aid kit till I found a bandage. I then walked back up to Nicholas and wrapped the bandage around his torso. He put his shirt back on and we sat down on the bed and started kissing which quickly turned into a make out session with our tongues battling for dominance. "I think I going to go" both Helena and Marcus said and hurried out the room. I put my hand in Nicholas's hair and gently tugged at it while we kissed. "The others are back" Helena called up the stairs.

We walked downstairs to the lounge or as I think of it the family meeting room. There was a load of gasps and disbelieving looks from everyone. "Nicholas" Sol said tentatively. Then ran up and hugged him. I saw Nicholas tensed but then he relaxed. "Hey I'm okay" he said softly. When sol realised he was okay she moved away from him and sat down. Me and Nicholas than sat down on one of the love seats.

Nicholas's pov

"I suppose I better explain what I've been doing the past few months and what happened when I was kidnapped" I said. They nodded. "Which one do you want me to start with" I asked. "When you were kidnapped" Lucy said "ok. I was walking home when a group of royals attacked me. I tried to fight them off but I was no match for them by myself without anyone to help. I managed to kill 5 of them before they caught me. I was fighting off a sixth when one of them knocked me out from behind. I woke up about six hours later in a dungeon chained to the wall. I tried pulling at the chains but they wouldn't break. Then one of the royals came in his name was Jayden. He had a sword which he slashed at me with. This continued for the next 24 hours till Lucas came and broke me out. Then we both ran back to the courts collected the prophecy's we found and I left and ran all the way here." I said. I turned to my left to look at Lucy. She was looking at me horrified and then tears started running down her cheeks. I put my arms around her and rocked her back and forth.

Author's note- can you help me figure out a name for the evil witch that wants to kill or marry Lucy. Please review
