Prepare for some tissue
Cat Whispurrr: yep he is a Prince
Crown172: thanks for the compliment.
He has wings around us but his arms around me. He winces in pain.
Muriel groaned, she was sweating but she bowed, "Your Highness, I thank you."
"Don't thank me yet, just get her out of here, my boys and I will hold them back as long as possible, remember...the location but hurry." He lifted his wings and raising his hands, "White Whorl." This large white tornado appeared, crashing down on the firing squad.
"What's going on?" I yelled as she knocked on a door to their house and Mark opened it just when the Black smith yelled and pointed at the door.
"We had a spy...a traitor...the black smith. You must hurry, they will be here any minute." Mark explained. Muriel gasped, out of breath but she rushes into the kitchen. There was a loud banging on the door. Fang hissed while standing on my shoulder.
"Mark, what's- I...my powers?" I was at a lost for words
"OPEN UP!" A voice commanded, "OPEN UP YOU DAMN SEERERS!"
"I'm sorry, Buttercup but I had no chance. Child, come." Mark grabbed my hand and pushes me towards the back room, " I had to spell you."
"What? You knew this was going to happen?"
"I spelled your powers...when I gave you the head band." He had a rifle in his hand. Muriel followed with a medium bag.
"You what?" I screamed, the banging was getting louder.
"I had to...I knew you would stay and help...it's the kind of person you are. But they are after you...I couldn't risk them capturing you. It would have end me." He touched it, a white light appeared and he opened a secret compartment that was hidden under a rug, " Now go." He helped Muriel down.
"I shall see you soon, dear brother." She let go and disappeared.
"Now Buttercup, you and Fang...go hurry. I will hold them off." He said but I knew, I shook my head.
"No, I won't hear it!" I shook my head, "You knew this would happen, well...I won't let you."
"What are you talking about? Muriel said we will see each other soon, as soon as I get out, we'll meet in the city. Now go please." He had tears in his eyes, I shook my head, he hugged me, "Just remember what I told you...Believe in yourself, do this and no matter where you are, you have nothing to fear."
"Please...don't." I know I was being stupid but this was too much.
"I knew the moment I touched your hand...this was my fate...but I'm happy. You're like the daughter I always dreamed I would have. I want to thank you for that opportunity, I know your father is a lucky man." He released the hug and pushed me into the hole, holding my hand, "Forgive me, my shining star." It happened in slow motion, as he let go...as I fell...he closes the door. It was like a big cave or something down here...Muriel pulled me away...my gem was giving us light...as we hurried along...Fang was purring but suddenly...I could see it...My heart was pounding and my breathing...I don't think I could breathe.
Everything was in slow motion ago...it was like I could feel it...feel what was happening.
I could the soldiers entering... Mark was firing...he shot some...one slashes at his knee...they were talking...a soldier points the gun at him and he closes his eyes.
A shot echos through the passage, I crumpled to my knees. I looked up and Muriel was leaning against the wall. He was gone...and it was because of me...a man who treated me and saw me as his own...a man...who took a stranger in and for two weeks...and this was his reward...
"You're like the daughter I always dreamed I would have."
"My shining star."
