My Knight & My Lady
Chapter 10: The Prosecution
It's been over a month and I start to pack my things and head over back home, I say goodbye to Ally and King Duncan, Riven is saying goodbye to his family and the castle staff oh and you can't forget nana. Riven and I decided not to tell anyone about us being together until the prosecution is over. As we arrive I'm relieved that there are no press, no news reporters and no paparazzi. But there is my, oh so demonic cousin Darcy with her evil smile waiting for me to get out of the carriage.
"Riven, do you mind taking my things up to my room; I have some certain things to attend too"
"Of cores my lady" I give him a sweet smile and leave and head towards Darcy; I can tell that she's up to something.
"Welcome Musa, how was your trip?"
"What do you want Darcy?"
"Oh a little grumpy today are we?"
"Either tell me what you are up too or get the hell out"
"Well all I want is for you to hand over the crown and I'll let you live"
"I rather die than land the crown to witchy slut like you"
"Alright princess hand over the crown or there will be consequences"
"You don't scare me Darcy"
"Oh I know I don't but I know what does scare you"
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's just say that I'll be leaving for 7 months and once I return you better make up your mind, either give me the crown or someone really close to you will never see the light of another day… EVER!"
"That's the thing with you Darcy, threatening me so I can give up the things that belong to me or the things that you like that I have… I know that you'll try and hurt Riven, and if you do, it'll be you who won't see the light of another day… so in other words Darcy… Hit me with your best shot, cause I'll be right here waiting"
"Well then… in 7 months… the games will start, and let's see if you can handle it… because this… This means war!"
"See you in 7 months Bitch"
"Slut"
"Whore"
Darcy didn't know what else to say, so she just left. I went inside the castle only to find Riven talking to detective Mark.
"Princess glad you could make it"
"Yeah so what's up?"
"The prosecution date"
"For when"
"Tomorrow morning at 9:00am sharp"
"OK… so is there anything else?"
"Ah there's one problem"
"Which is?"
"Your father is still here and if he see's you, he'll go nuts"
"So I'll make sure that he won't see her, the maids will bring up her food, and if she need's anything else I'll go get it for her"
"Are you sure about it Riven?"
"Yes princess… anything for you"
"Well I'll just leave you guys too it… I'll see you in the morning"
The detective left and Riven took me to my room. We sat and watched movies and ate snacks and pop corn. It was 10:00 pm and I was getting sleepy. Riven said his good nights and headed to his room. I fell into a deep sleep then suddenly woke up when I heard someone enter the room, I thought it was Riven checking up on me, but then I got this familiar smell of whiskey then I realized that history was repeating it's self.
"Riv-"I was cut off as my father stuffed my mouth with a sock.
"Shh… don't say another word my precious… I'm not going to hurt you"
I can tell that he had more than one bottle of it. I try to get out of his grip, but a drunken man is stronger than a sober one. He had both of my hands tied with one of his hands, and the other holding the sock, he let the hand he had on the sock and moved down to my shorts and I saw it as a chance to spit out the sock and scream till someone heard me.
"RIVEN HELP ME!"
My dad slapped me and looked at me with so much hatred.
"Shut up you little brat, you did nothing but ruin my life now it's my turn"
I spit at his face and all of a sudden I couldn't breath, he was choking me to death, tears ran down my cheeks hoping that Riven heard me, I look at the door and it's locked, there's no way Riven will get in to save me in time. I start to lose conscience of myself, everything is turning blurry, I try to break fee, my head that was once on the pillow is now on the edge of my bed, I can hardly see, but my bedroom balcony was open and I see a shadow… I think I'm about to black out. All of a sudden I'm breathing and I fell off my bed only to see that Riven is fighting my father, and then everything went black.
RIVEN POV
I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound and smell of whiskey bottles? Then I saw Musa's father in the 2nd floor hallway, so I ran up as I knew that something was about to happen. When I get to Musa's door it was locked then I heard it 'RIVEN HELP ME!' my reaction was to go out through the hallway window and enter Musa's balcony. Once I was in I was my princess being choked to death by her own father, tears were running down her face and her head was on the edge looking at me upside down, I can tell that she was about to die if I didn't do anything, so I grabbed her father and threw him at the wall, then I saw my princess fall down to the floor she smiled at me then she blacked out.
I didn't knew what came over that I woke up in my bed, thinking that it was just a dream, but I knew it wasn't once I saw my princess sleeping on the couch with bruises on her neck, dried up tears, I couldn't remember anything all I know is that Musa got hurt.
"Riven?"
"Just go back to sleep ok princess"
"We can't"
"Why?"
"Because today is the prosecution day"
"Oh right… are you ok?"
"Never been better… you?"
"What do you mean never been better Musa… your father almost killed you last night?"
"He did?"
"And apparently none of you guys remember"
"Detective Mark?" we both said in sync
"So you don't remember what happened to you princess?"
"No I mean I do am just I thought it was a bad dream… which means…"
"That the markings on your neck is fresh and your father goes straight to jail… no questions asked"
"But what happened to Riven, he doesn't remember how he got here"
"If it wasn't for the royal guards your dad would be dead, he's in pretty bad shape, but nothing is going to happen to Riven, since his duty was to protect you"
"So what happens now?"
"Nothing"
"But what about the prosecution?"
"We don't have to go through with it since your father did that to you, we took the pictures in your sleep, the judge saw them and your father is in jail right now, the only prosecution that you'll have to do is confront the news reporters and interview once every one hears about this"
"So it's all over now right?"
"Yes princess you can relax… your father will have 50 years to life in jail"
"Oh… ok"
"I'll be back in case anything goes wrong"
"Thank you detective… for everything"
"The pleasure is mine princess now if you'll excuse me; I'll be on my way"
"Riven…"
"Yeah?"
"I know it's like 4:25 am but I'm too scared to go to bed by myself, so I was wondering…. If… if you don't mind that is…. If I could…. Sleep with you… tonight?"
She asked shyly not looking at my face, I couldn't help but blush either, but I couldn't leave her alone… not after what happened.
"Ah, sure… um… where do you want… to um sleep?"
"Where ever… it doesn't really matter"
"Well why don't you sleep on my bed, I'll sleep on the floor"
"Oh no… um I was… I… I was hoping for you to… sleep with me… not in the way on how couple usually sleep but you sitting up and I lay on your chest while I sleep… that is if you're ok with it… y'know I think I'll just leave"
"No… ah no … I mean yeah I'm ok with it… besides… I don't think it's such a good idea for you to be all alone tonight"
"Oh… ok then"
So she hopped on my bed I sat behind being her pillow, she gazed at the moon, as it was still shining, then she finally broke the silence.
"Riven"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you… for everything"
"No problem"
"Do you think I can handle it?"
"Handle what?"
"The press once they find out?"
"You're stronger than you think… so yeah"
"Good night Riven… and I love you"
My eyes widen a little, she had hers closed as I realized that she already drifting away to a deep sleep.
"I love you too princess"
