Thief of the Heart

Chapter 11

Lucien was but a few miles from Bravil, he could see the life slowly leaving her. "Leya. LEYA! Don't fall asleep! Just hang on, talk to me!" She looked up at him with weary eyes.

"I'm so tired..." Lucien held her tight. " Lucien, I'm glad you are safe."

"You idiot, why did you come!" He looked down at her in anger, but he was surprised to see a gentle smile on her pale face. Tears started running down her face.

" I love you, Lucien. Even if I were to be set free by your death, i would still die if I had to live without you." Lucien looked at her shocked.

"But... I treated you so terribly!" He shouted, but she just looked at him with that same tender smile she always had.

" I knew you could be better then that. I always believed." He looked up trying to fight back the tears. How could he let this happen. Lucien shook his head and approached the gates to Bravil. It was dark outside and rain began to pour. Lucien picked her up gently and rushed inside. Once he was inside Bravil he ran straight to the statue in the center of the city.

"Night Mother! I beseech you! Help us!" The ground shook a bit and the statue opened. Lucien quickly entered the caverns and rushed down the tunnels into the resting place. Once he arrived he saw the pale ghostly figure of the Night Mother standing there before him. "Night Mother, I beg you! Save her."

The Night Mother looked at him. "So this is the precious dark elf you have told me so much about." She stated. Her eyes looking over Leya's figure, which had grown pale. Lucien held her close.

"Please, cant you do something!"He begged. She looked at him, expressionless. She snapped her fingers and dark shadowy masses came and carried her deeper into the cavern. She then looked back at Lucien.

"I will do what I can, Lucien." The Night Mother began to turn away but Lucien stopped her.

"Most honorable Night Mother. I have one final request." he paused as she turned to look at him."If it would be alright, I would like to resign my position. And leave the Dark Brotherhood." Lucien was sweating from his request. Once you make the covenant, you are in it for life until death, unless released otherwise.

"Do you truely love this woman, Lucien?" Lucien looked down trying to not cry, he nodded his head." I do. I love her more then life." There was a moment of silence.

"Very well then. I trust you Lucien, you have done the Brotherhood a great service. Sithis is pleased. You may leave." Lucien was surprised to have his request fulfilled. Now he just hopes Leya will survive.

The Night Mother walked down into the cavern where Leya was. Hours passed and Lucien was being tortured by the screams of pain that were coming from the caverns. Leya was in so much pain. It was unbearable for him. He looked up when he heard the Night Mother approach, jumping to his feet he rushed to see if she was ok.

"She will be fine Lucien. She just needs to rest. We had to completely recontruct her cells and reattach her nerves. She will be very weak the next few days from the loss of blood, but she will be fine. If you wish you can go see her."

"Thank you, Night Mother. I will go see her!" With tears running down his face, he ran straight to her. He entered the room and saw her lying there breathing peacefully. She looked exhausted but beautiful none-the-less. "Leya?" Hearing his voice she looked up at him. A gentle smile came across her face and tears began to pour from her eyes.

"Lucien.."He knelt beside her and took her hand.

"Are you in pain?" He asked, she smiled and gripped his hand. "I've had worse..." They both chuckled and Lucien sighed. "I'm so sorry, Leya. I should've listen to you." She just smiled.

"Don't worry about it. It's all in the past." Lucien smiled gently.

"I have something to tell you." Leya looked up at him. Lucien smiled and kisses her gently on the lips. Leya felt her face heat up immensely and she gently wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. Lucien pulled away gently and looked her in the eyes. "I love you, Leya."

Leya smiled and she held him close. Lucien hugged her tightly. "I will never let you go again, Leya."
