Chapter 41: A Promise Broken
The second her lips touches his, he felt nothing and knew this was wrong. His arms instantly pushed her away, wanting distance between him and her. There was nothing between them anymore and he knew that.
"Hell Rhona." He stepped back. "What was that for?" He asked her.
"One last kiss." She said as she walked passed him. Glancing out to see Christine wasn't there anymore, she knew that kiss had worked. And Erik didn't know. Hiding her victory smile, she left the tent. Watching her leave, he wondered why she had done that, why she kissed him. Wiping his mouth, he wanted to forget about it and focus on what he wanted to do and that was to talk to Christine. He would wait until she came to the tent, not realizing that she had no intention of coming to the tent anymore.
Her walk turned into a run as she distanced herself from him. She wanted to get as far away as she could from him without leaving the camp. She still had to keep her promise of staying in the camp, she had promise him. How could he do that? After everything that had happened between them! Her mind was screaming as she found a log near the edge of the camp. Sitting on the log, she let the tears fall.
"I can't do this anymore…" She said to herself as the tears ran down her cheek. "He doesn't care about me…I am not what he wants…" She could ignore the pain in her chest as the realization hit. The pain was too much, it hurt too much. Her heart was ripping in two, the damage beyond repair. She needed to get away from here, away from him, away from Scotland. The longer she stayed here, the more it will hurt. She knew the English were too far away, she just needed to sneak away. Yes she promised him she would run away, he trusted her. However, that no longer mattered to her. He didn't matter to her. She would forget about him, forget about this. No matter what, she would force herself to forget about him.
Standing up, she wiped the tears from her eyes. Her eyes looked around to see no one around, this was her chance. Glancing behind her to see the camp in the distance, she had a moment of going back. She knew she wasn't just leaving him, but also the life she had started creating here. The friends she had gained, the trust and respect she had gain from the warriors. All the trust she earned would be lost. But staying would be hell for her, everything here reminded her of him and it would slowly kill her.
"Goodbye Erik…" Turning around, her legs started to move. Turning into a run, she didn't look back. She soon disappeared into the thickness of the trees and knew she was safe now. Now she had to try and figure out a way through the trees and find the English army. She didn't care of the Scottish warrior who was still waiting for her back at the camp.
Looks like CHrisitne left the camp, find out to see what Erik will do once he finds out.
