Trust Me
I hated him with all my heart, and he would never go away.It was the middle of winter snow was falling on the ground as I crouched in the snow, my vision blurred all I could see was red. I held my stomach trying not to scream from the pain. I had ran away from the castle and from him, my best friend, and my captor. I was crawling now, my jet black hair whipped over my shoulders as I crawled through the snow stinging my scratched up face. I was wearing a black gown with golden heels my eyes wore black coal around them, my lips painted a dark red. My cheeks where flushed, my limbs to numb to feel. I had to keep going I had to keep pushing myself to get away. I had ran away from the castle for the reason that I was to be married. The man I was to marry was a vary powerful man. My parents had sold me to his castle when I was only six at the time, it’s been eleven years scense then, the man wanted to wait till I was old enough to get married so he married me at sixteen. I ran away to get away from him.He’s vary violent I can’t stand him I have put up with him for two years. I had made a plan, I was going to be queen I just had to hang in there. I was going to poison him tonight but somebody must’ve read my plan because the king had found out. So here I am he had beaten me and I had ran, ran, and ran till my legs have given out and now I was crawling. Then I herd footsteps and a man calling out my name, it was Eero my best friend my Salvatore, he was now standing infront of me. He lifted up my chin and I was the first one who spoke I said “ There’s things I want to say and things I want to talk about but not here not now”. I said my voice dry and ragged. He didn’t say anything but that’s when I noticed his eyes… they weren’t the same his pearsing blue eyes studied me with a coldness that sent shivers down my spine something was wrong but I couldn’t tell what. He reach for my pulling me up off the cold snow now painted in red. As he held me in his arms he starts to shake “ I don’t know why you would trust me I love you but you know I have to take you back it’s the only way”. His voice was barley a whisper. “Please don’t tell me to go back. Not after everything please.” My voice broke and so did my heart I couldn’t understand why he wanted me to go back. He and me had always wanted to escape together. “ I’m sorry but I have to take you back I’m so,so sorry “. He reached for my arms and started guiding me in the way I had come I started panicking I froze I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t fight him he’s my best friend “No, please stay here we don’t need no money we could make it all work, we can figure it out I promise.” My voice broke and so did my heart, I shattered into a million peace’s I couldn’t believe it he had always been on my side, always. I hated him with all my heart, I hated him. As we where about to step through the tall wooden gates to the castle, he turned to me. “Do you trust me?” I looked into his eyes I saw a small little light. I hated him oh how I hated him but as I looked closer. How could I? He must have took my blank expression as a yes because he opened the gates in a small effortless movement so swift I didn’t notice the one thing I should have. There standing before me was the king he had grin apon his face as we approached him. “I trust you,” I say as his knife points to my throat. The king was standing two feet away from me now with a smile upon his face, he was looking at Eeuro. The king called to Eeuro to come to his side m, and he obliged. I couldn’t believe it my best friend had obliged to the man who he hated most of so I thought. My mind was racing looking for a way out bi the guards had blocked the only escape route. The king patted Eeuro on the back.” What a wonderful and loyal boy you are, you have made yourself useful, vary useful indeed.” Before I could even get a word out the king took his sword and thrusted it into Eeuros back so hard that it went through his intire body. I hit the stone cold floor with my knees I pounded my fists on the stone while a piercing scream came out of me. My body shook so violently I had no control over my body I took a ragged breath and sobbed, I cried so hard that I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t see, and couldn’t feel I was limp. I was lying on the ground still unable to breathe, all I could see was his body and his eyes wide so wide I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t know what to do so I just lay there with him like it was supposed to be, just me and him. I had told him that I hated him but the truth was I loved him with all my heart, and now he would never come back.
