I'm here with you.....Beauty said.
He stares at Beauty. As though he's never known kindness in his life.
You would say that? To your captor? Alarik asked.
You are not just my captor Alarik. A captor would not have bu4ned himself for me. Alarik's keen eyes met hers as Beauty stops the bleeding. Something stares beneath his gaze. Foootsteo breaks the silence. Alarik growls as they near the door.
Where is he?! With that girl?!
Xander again. Damn it. Alarik cursed.
Alarik growls and grab Beauty by the arm pulling her to his large oak cabinet and throwing the doors open. Do you want to hide me in here? I asked.
In a sense. Alarik laces his fingers with hers before she have a chance to react, henpulls her into the cabinet with him. What?!
Behind the racks of clothes is not a slab of wood but a secret passageway. Beauty thimble into it.
What the...
Come on...He said. Alarik tugs her down the pathway. Sion she finds herself on the roof of the castle , overlooking the breathtaking snow capped mountains beyond.
Whoa. This is stunning. She exclaimed. It's nothing like i have ever seen. I like to come here sometimes to think. He said. Alarik steps towards the ledge his back to her.
Beauty I need to apologize to you...
What for? I don't blame you for Xander he's....
You remember what I said? About my curse?
At the mention of his curse beauty chest grows tight. In exchange for your power you.....
I'll die in a month time on my 30th birthday. He bows his head. Its the fate of every first born male in my bloodline. The fate of every king.
But no power is worth the price of a life. Beauty said.
The price is paid nonetheless.....He replied. But it isn't me I'm worried about , it's you.
Me???
